Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 7
The Xihua Pavilion, which had been abandoned for more than ten years, was finally cleared out. Xu Jiatong lived here for a while when he was a child, and he remembered that it was full of crape myrtle flowers in summer, which was very beautiful.It was winter at this time, and naturally there was no such scene. No matter how hard you took care of it, it couldn't stop Xiao Suo.

"The fourth sister came back suddenly. Many things were too late to make new ones, so I embezzled some from me. But fourth sister, don't worry, they are all new, and I picked them out one by one. Fourth sister, I will often come to look for them in the future. How are you playing? I remember we used to be together when we were young, and then you went to a private house, and I was the only girl left at home, and you stayed for a while on the New Year’s Day and then left, you were so bored to death." Xu Jiaqing complained Dao, the chubby little face is very cute.

Maybe Xu Jiaqing hasn't seen her much these years, but she has seen Xu Jiaqing many times in places that are easily overlooked.Maybe life was too smooth, maybe the elders deliberately concealed those secret things, maybe Xu Jiaqing was like this by nature, Xu Jiaqing always treated her like a sister, and would always ask the little maid to give her some of her own during festivals. Handmade stuff in the past.

"Come if you want, I can't ask for it." Xu Jiatong smiled, she still has two sisters in Xidu, but they treat her no better than the people in this house.In her heart, she hoped to have a younger sister like Xu Jiaqing.

"Then I won't be polite, don't think I'm annoying." Xu Jiaqing smiled and called the two maids Shuangxiu and Ah Xiang who had just been arranged in Xihua Pavilion to come over.

"I met the old lady in a while, how about you accompany me to meet the third uncle and third aunt? I haven't spoken to each other for many years." Xu Jiatong said softly, even if he didn't want to see them, he still wanted to pay a formal visit.

"Mom will see you in a while. Father was called away by the manager in the middle of the night last night. I don't know what happened. Mother said he won't be back in a few days." Xu Jiaqing smiled and took her hand into the room. inside.

Not needing to face Xu Xiaoxian for the time being, Xu Jiatong suddenly felt a little relieved, ordered Bi Shui to arrange the things he brought, looked at Shuangxiu and Ah Xiang and said, "I haven't been back for many years, it seems strange to you, how many years have you been in the mansion?"

"The slaves and servants all entered the mansion the year before last. The slaves are on a death contract, and Ah Xiang is on a living contract." Shuangxiu said first without even looking at Ah Xiang.

Xu Jiatong pretended not to know, but just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are on a dead or alive contract, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded."

Although Shuangxiu hit a soft nail, she still kept praising Xu Jiatong for the simple and elegant dress.Xu Jiatong sneered inwardly, these dresses were nothing more than clean and wearable, the brocade she wove was never willing to wear, and what she wore was no match for the decent maids in this house.On the contrary, it was Ah Xiang who quietly took the sachet he made himself and put it on her waist, his dexterity and carefulness made her look high.

The dress that Xu Jiatong put on was still dull and dull, but she had an air of elegance, like a lotus still blooming in the mud.

Xu Jiaqing was stunned for a moment, and went forward to greet her and went to Mrs. Li together: "Because I don't know the size of the fourth sister, the old lady only asked people to prepare the clothes, but Ah Xiang, who was assigned to the fourth sister, was very skilled. Go back and let her do it."

"Who is this Ah Xiang?" Xu Jiatong wanted to find out the details of these two girls.

"In the past, Ah Xiang's family had a tailor's shop, and there were some regular customers who helped them, and they lived a good life. But then a fire broke out, the shop disappeared, her mother passed away, and her father suffered from lung disease, so she sold herself into the house and worked as a sewing machine People. I have never been with other masters before, and I have a good temper. I begged the old lady to let her serve you, Fourth Sister." Xu Jiaqing smiled, as if she really wanted Xu Jiatong to praise her.

"Thank you Fifth Sister in advance." Xu Jiatong smiled, since he asked one, the other also asked, "I see that Shuangxiu is very good at talking, I must have talked to the master before, but I don't know who is so generous to give up love? "

"It's the second sister. When the second sister got married last year, she didn't let her go with her. She kept looking at the second sister's house. A few days ago, the second sister sent a letter back, saying that she couldn't delay her future like this, and asked the old lady to make the decision. Arrange a place to go, and I will arrange it at Xihua Pavilion." Xu Jiaqing said.

Maybe it was not clever enough for not going with her husband's house, and then I asked someone to arrange it, maybe it was kindness.But Xu Jiatong didn't think so, most likely he was worried about Shuangxiu's behavior first, and then he was worried about staying in his natal family's yard, and wished to rush to get rid of it.When Li Shi sent such a person over, he obviously didn't want her to go his way.

Xue Xin had just informed them, and when they arrived, someone came to greet them, and when they entered, the meal had already been set.Mrs. Li was sitting on the front seat, served by Xu Jiaqing's mother, Mrs. Zheng, and she had already started eating.

Mrs. Li stopped her chopsticks, raised her eyes and looked Xu Jiatong up and down: "The fourth girl has grown up and is well-groomed, and she will be married in a blink of an eye, so fast. You may not have lived in the mansion for many years, so what is lacking?" What, just tell your aunt."

"Don't worry the old lady. The fifth sister is very thoughtful. I went to see it just now. Everything is fine." Xu Jiatong greeted the two of them separately, and first took a look at Mrs. Li, who was clearly in her forties. A person who is over [-] years old takes care of himself like a daughter-in-law in her thirties.

As for Mrs. Zheng, she was still the same as in memory, dignified and arrogant, with her eyes above her head, she only glanced at her, not paying attention to her at all, which made Xu Jiatong feel embarrassed.

"Mrs. Tai has been recuperating in her private house. She came back on New Year's Eve in the early years. In the past few years, I haven't seen each other more and more. Speaking of which, I also want to call her sister. I always think about it. Is she okay?" Li Shi took a sip of perilla fish soup leisurely, and said it was salty, so he ordered people to withdraw it.

Taking the eight-treasure fish handed over by the maid and putting it in front of Li Shi, Xu Jiatong smiled dryly. If she was too natural, something was wrong: "I'm getting older, but it's not the same as before. Grandma, she now Only the two hours in the morning are energetic and do some needlework, and the rest of the day is spent in a daze. She often said to me that she didn’t want to be idle before, and she would know how comfortable she is when she is idle. Her old man still Having said that, nowadays, the daily diet is light, two pages of books are read, and brocade and embroidered flowers strengthen the muscles and bones, how many women have worked hard for decades, don’t they just look forward to such a day.”

When Xu Jiatong talked about this big call, Li Shi listened thoughtfully, Zheng Shi and Xu Jiaqing cleverly pretended to be deaf and dumb.This matter has not been mentioned directly in these years, and Xu Jiatong is going to be taken back now, and Mrs. Cao was responsible for raising Xu Jiatong. The situation is not clear, so it is best to stay still.
