72. Chapter 72
Xie Lanyin's female red girl is pretty good, of course she is not very outstanding, but just like everyone always has a few good-looking characters, Xie Lanyin is particularly good at embroidering longevity peaches. Because she is only ten days away from Mrs. Guo's birthday party, she must not be able to finish embroidery of large pieces, so Xie Lanyin decided to embroider a table screen as a birthday gift.
First, I asked someone to buy a good screen holder and compare the size, Xie Lanyin picked a piece of kesi material with light rice paper yellow, and sat in the warm chalet and embroidered it carefully. Sometimes in his own yard, sometimes he would move to his mother's side, embroider and play with his younger brother for a while, because he had something to do, so he didn't think much about him.
"Is this for Mrs. Guo?" The weather was warm that day, Xie Lanyue brought her sister Lan Bao to visit. When she entered the room, she saw that most of the embroidered appearance was embroidered on the warm couch, and asked with a smile.
Xie Lanyin nodded and picked up the embroidery work and asked Lan Bao, "Does the fifth sister embroider look good?"
Lan Bao had a pair of watery almond eyes, staring at the lifelike dabunting peach on the kesi material for a while, and couldn't help swallowing before speaking, "It looks good, the fifth sister embroidered it so well, but unfortunately there are no peaches now."
She suddenly wanted to eat peaches.
"I know how to eat." Xie Lanyue touched her sister's head and whispered: "Go to my aunt's side to find Jinbei to play. Don't you like Jinbei the most?" She wanted to talk to Xie Lanyin about the big girl, but it was boring for her sister to stay here stupidly.
Thinking of his younger brother who was white and puffy, Lan Bao immediately led the maid away.
"What do you want to say again?" Xie Lanyin put away the things and put them aside, signaling Xie Lanyue to sit up, and there were osmanthus cakes and apricots on the kang table. The two sisters were having sex while chatting.
"I'm here to remind you." Xie Lanyue pinched apricot jerk without hesitation and put it in her mouth. After eating, she continued: "There are two young men in the Guo family. The eldest son has married and is a very steady person. We probably won't meet him in the past. The second young man Guo Cheng has been a naughty since he was a child. He has never been serious when he grew up. He often teases the girls who visited his house. If you meet him, don't argue with him. Let's pretend that he didn't see him. He went elsewhere if he was bored."
My father works in the Ministry of Revenue and has a good relationship with Lord Guo. Xie Lanyue visits the Guo family several times a year, so she is very familiar with the Guo family.
"Why did I hear that Jinnan is having a good time with him?" Xie Lanyin asked quippedly.
Xie Jinnan is the eldest son of the third wife and is twelve years old this year.
When he mentioned his brother Xie Lanyue, he was angry and hummed, "Yes, so my father scolded him every day, but he didn't care at all. Fortunately, when his grandfather came, he restrained him a little. I tell you, you can't spoil Jinbei in the future. My brother is not afraid because we are spoiled with him too much and grow up."
From being on guard against the outsider, the two sisters soon talked about how to discipline their younger brother.
It is the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
After breakfast, Xie Lanyin followed her mother to the gate of the Hou Mansion and saw the second wife coming from the east courtyard. Xie Lanwei had already been engaged and was no longer suitable for going out. However, the second wife brought eight-year-old Fang Ling. The little girl was wearing a pink dress, two cute buns on her head and a red gold collar around her neck. She was very beautiful.
Seeing Xie Lanyin and his daughter, Fang Ling called in a low voice and always followed the second wife.
Soon, the third wife also led Xie Lanyue and sisters. Xie Lanyin looked at her secretly and found that Fang Ling was not very enthusiastic about the people in the third room.
After a few simple greetings, the three houses got on the carriage separately.
Guo family.
The old lady was doing her birthday for 60 years, and the Guo family was full of guests. In the hall, the old lady Guo was wearing a crimson new dress and chatted with the women with red faces. She finally had some free time and was thinking about the naughty grandson. Old lady Guo asked Chunju, the eldest maid next to her, "Send someone to see what the second young master is doing now."
Chunju went there soon, and after a while he quickly came back, he said uneasy: "Old lady, the second young master didn't know where he went, and he couldn't find it."
Old Mrs. Guo said secretly that it was bad. Every time she had a banquet at home, she would have some trouble. This time she would not think that her grandson had become obedient. Seeing that there were guests outside, she quickly sent the maid to find him and sent someone to find him. If he found him, be sure to keep a close eye on him. The grandson is already at the age of marrying a wife. The future wife may be among the girls who are hosting today. He can't let him mess up the bad things by himself.
"Oh, which girl from this family is so handsome, like a fairy." Returning to the new guest, Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment, narrowing her eyes slightly to look at Xie Lanyin.
The old lady was born with kind eyebrows and approachable eyes. Xie Lanyin smiled and bowed obediently, saying, "Old lady is blessed. My name is Lanyin. I am Lanyue's cousin. I came to Beijing last month. I heard Lanyue praise you for so many times and never had the chance to pay you a favor. I finally saw you today. Lanyin wishes you a blessing like the East China Sea and a long life than the South Mountain, and a more energetic year by year."
The little girl's voice sounds nice, and it makes people feel more comfortable physically and mentally.
Mrs. Guo’s only granddaughter is married, and now she cannot come back with a big belly. She likes the girls from other people more. Now she has a beautiful and sweet voice and can speak. Mrs. Guo can’t help but like it. She took the gift from Xie Lanyin and looked at it, and smiled even more happily, "I have lived this longevity peach for most of my life. Lanyin comes over quickly and let me take a closer look."
Xie Lanyin walked over openly and let the old man hold his hand and look at it.
"My wife, I heard that you have three flowers in your family, why did you bring only Lan Yin?" After the little girl, Mrs. Guo did not recognize the birthplace and said to Jiang Shi at all. The Xie family is also a newcomer in the capital. Who is there in the family? Of course, she has heard of her, who often walks around the circle of noble ladies.
Jiang smiled and brought out the words he had prepared long ago. Old Mrs. Guo nodded and told her to bring Xie Lanqiao next time, and then talk to her second wife and regular customers. She asked a second-class maid Xia Tao to lead the way and asked Xie Lanyin and his sisters to go to the East Nuan Pavilion to play. The young sisters who came today were there.
Today is good. The sisters followed the little maid, occasionally basking in the warm sunshine, which was very comfortable. After turning a corner along the corridor, I suddenly saw a little maid in red sitting on a bench in front of me, holding a handkerchief in her hand covering half of her face, as if she was coughing. Seeing them coming, the little maid was stunned for a while before lowering her head, but she still sat steadily.
Xia Tao frowned and looked at the maid's eyebrows and eyes that were exposed outside. She felt familiar, but she didn't expect that there was a yard that had seen it. She secretly decided to send several girls from the Xie family back to scold her. She wanted to pick the right place even if she was lazy. She actually dared to come here to get an annoyance. She really had no eyesight.
Want to give the other party a warning first, Xia Tao deliberately walked next to her, but his eyes were patronized to warn her. When he was about to pass by, the man stretched out his legs and threw himself on the ground. It was a coincidence that there was still water in the water there. When Xia Tao stood up in a mess, she saw that the clothes were dirty.
"Ah, Sister Xia Tao, I didn't mean it. You, go back and change your clothes quickly, I'll take the girls over." The little maid stood up in a hurry, as if she knew she had caused trouble, shrank her shoulders and her head drooped low.
Xia Tao was not angry in front of the guest, so she held her anger and asked her to take the guest to the warm room. She accused her of guilt and left first.
The little maid then raised her head and showed a carefully dressed face. Her eyebrows were like crescent moon and her lips were as polished as the black eyes shone brightly, but the pink on her face was a little thicker. She glanced at Xie Lanyue and the two little girls with her head slightly lowered her head and walked around Xie Lanyin's side, signaling the few people to continue moving forward.
Xie Lanyue led her sister away, afraid that she would fall by accident and she would fall after she stepped on the water, so she didn't pay attention to her.
Xie Lanyin was surprised that the maid was half a head taller than her, almost the same as the elder sister, but it was precisely because of the elder sister's example that she didn't find it very strange.
"This girl, why are you looking at me all the time?" Just as Xie Lanyin was about to withdraw her gaze, the little maid turned to talk to her. Now Xie Lanyin was walking side by side with her in front, Fang Ling on the far right, and Xie Lanyue led Lan Bao behind.
Her voice was a bit thick and she spoke in a very strange way. Xie Lanyin frowned and said perfunctorily: "Look at how tall you are."
The little maid smiled, glanced at her head, and her eyes fell on her face again, "Miss is not short either. Are you the fifth girl of the Xie family? I heard that the fifth girl of the Xie family is the most beautiful and deserves it..."
"Guo Cheng!"
The more he said, the more he became more and more unruly. Xie Lanyue stared at him fiercely, and finally recognized him. He immediately let go of his sister and tried to push him. Guo Cheng jumped quickly to the front without any panic at being caught. Instead, he hugged his arms and stared at Xie Lanyin, "Miss Five, right? I think you are good-looking, how about being a wife for me? Let me tell you, I have a high vision, and I don't even look down on me, for example, for example."
When he spoke, he pointed to Xie Lanyue.
Xie Lanyue was so angry that she forgot what she told her cousin, so she was so angry that she wanted to come forward to beat him. The two of them were familiar with each other. Xie Lanyue taught Guo Cheng a lesson a lot. Guo Cheng walked sideways away from her like a monkey and came to Xie Lanyin again. She was wearing women's clothes, but her eyes were frivolous and romantic like a playboy.
"You are not allowed to bully the fifth sister!" Unlike Fang Ling who was hiding beside her, Lan Bao stood in front of her cousin angrily.
Guo Cheng touched her head as a response, and his eyes were still staring at Xie Lanyin, "How about it, do you think carefully?"
When Xie Lanyin was in Hangzhou, she met several arrogant and romantic young men, but at most she just praised her for a few words. When she first met, she talked about marriage. The boy in front of her was the first one. Looking at the thick powder on his face, Xie Lanyin opened her eyes disgusted: "I have a high vision, I look down on you so ugly, and I will not marry a man or a woman. Lan Bao doesn't care about him, let's go."
Holding Lan Bao, you have to go around.
Before Guo Cheng could come back to his senses from the words he thought he was ugly, he instinctively wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect someone to punch him hard in the back, which made half of his body numb. He bared his teeth and turned around, and then he met Xie Lanyue's warning fist, "If you dare to catch up again, I will tell my elder sister to go back!"
How could Guo Cheng retreat just by saying a word? But before he could say anything, Xia Tao's voice suddenly came from behind, and it was obvious that he had recognized him and led the person over. Guo Cheng looked over there in annoyedly, then looked at the Xie sisters who had walked a distance, gritted their teeth, and jumped out of the corridor and escaped.
He was very moved, Xie Lanyue looked back and turned her head to comfort her cousin, "Lanyin should not listen to him nonsense, he has never been in a way."
Xie Lanyin shook her head. She was just wondering about something, "I haven't left the house anyway since I entered Beijing. Where did he hear that kind of words?"
In fact, in terms of beauty, Xie Lanyin feels that she is comparable to her elder sister. It is just that the elder sister is good at men's clothing and is too indifferent to her, which makes her look more beautiful.
Xie Lanyue thought of the culprit when Guo Cheng said that, and said with some blame: "It must be Jinnan. They are both good. The little brat will see how I deal with him when I go back!"
Xie Lanyin was stunned and then smiled.
