Chapter 11 Guest
The roses in the Rose Garden are in full bloom, and the dense flowers cover the entire courtyard wall, as gorgeous as the morning glow, and even more vibrant under the embellishment of green leaves.
Oak-hee was sitting in the courtyard, earnestly embroidering roses on a handkerchief. Oak-hee didn't do embroidery work for a long time every day, only during the day when the light was good, and she didn't do it at other times. In my last life, I did too much embroidery work and hurt my eyes.
Hongshan walked in with a smile and said, "Girl, Miss Liu Yin is here."
Every time Liu Yin came to the Rose Garden, he brought things over, but it was no exception. This time, instead of bringing things, he asked Oak Xi to come over.
It was only when Yuxi arrived at the main courtyard that she found out that Qiu Shi was going to buy some jewelry for their sisters, and they would look good when they went out the day after.
Qiu Shi said, "Everyone pick two or three items." It wasn't that Qiu Shi was stingy, but Yu Jing wished she could move them all back when she saw the good things.
Yujing looked at the jewelry in the tray and said, "Two or three are too few, mother, these jewelry are so beautiful, I want to pick two more."
Qiu Shi was well prepared and said, "In a few days, there will be a new batch of jewelry in Linglong Pavilion, and it will not be too late to buy more." Linglong Pavilion is the best jewelry store in Beijing. The jewelry there is of novel style and workmanship. Delicate, it is the favorite of the daughters of powerful families.
After hearing this, Yujing stopped clinging to the jewelry in front of her.
Yuxi is the youngest, so every time she chooses something, she is the last one: "Auntie, third sister hasn't come yet?"
Qiu Shi smiled and said, "Your third sister already has it."
After hearing this, Yu Jing's eyes flashed with jealousy. No wonder Yujing is jealous, Yuchen's clothes and jewelry are all high-quality goods, even if the grandfather of the country has a special preference for Yujing and often sends all kinds of jewelry of good materials, it can be compared with Yuchen.
Yuxi glanced at Yujing and knew what she was thinking. It can be said that Yuchen is the misfortune of all their girls.
Qiu Shi smiled and said, "Yu Xi, what are you doing?"
Only then did Oak Xi walk to the tray and pick out a pair of ruby rubies and a pair of red emerald drop bead earrings. Influenced by the experience of escaping, Oak-hee particularly likes jewelry that looks expensive and valuable.
After Yuru and Yujing left, Qiu Shi asked her maid to take out a golden lock of wealth and longevity for Yuxi.
Yuxi quickly declined and said, "Auntie, this thing is too expensive, I can't have it." The golden lock was exquisitely crafted, and together with the round pearl pendants below it, it was worth at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver.
Qiu rubbed Yuxi's head and said with a smile, "This is my aunt's dowry, and I can't use it now. My aunt doesn't have a daughter, so it's just right for you." After speaking, she put the golden lock on Yuxi. on the neck.
Oak Xi said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, Auntie." In the past two months, Qiu Shi has sent her something from time to time. In the past, all the food was made of fabric, but this time it was the big head.
Yuxi did not cover it, and took Yingluo Long Life Gold Lock back to the Rose Garden. The news of the prince's mansion spread quickly, and within a long time, everyone in the mansion knew that Qiu Shi had rewarded Yuxi with good things.
Yujing knew that Yuxi had obtained the golden lock of longevity, so she cursed bitterly: "Little bastard." Although Yujing was domineering, she was not stupid. Qiu Shi didn't like her, and for the sake of her reputation, Qiu Shi would not deduct the share that the public should give, but thinking about the good things in Qiu Shi's hand was nothing but a fool's dream.
Yuru knew this and didn't speak for a while. Before Oak-hee got smallpox, her mother was very kind to her, but since Oak-hee recovered, her mother became more and more cold to her.
Seeing that Yu Ru was sad again, Qing Xuan said with relief, "Miss, Madam is kind to Fourth Young Lady, that's because Madam is thinking about saving her life. Madam still loves her very much."
Yuru was silent and did not speak, she knew very well whether her mother loved her. The mother hates Yujing, and she is naturally good to her with Yujing in front of her. But since Ok-hee got better,
Yu Rucai discovered that her mother's kindness to her was actually on the surface.
Oak Xi didn't know that because a longevity lock would make many people miss her, she returned to the Rose Garden and asked Mo Ju to open the wardrobe.
Mo Ju smiled and asked, "Why did the girl remember to look at the clothes?"
Oak-hee said, "I'm going to be a guest at my uncle's house tomorrow, so I'm sure to dress festively."
On the day of Quwujia, Yuxi was dressed in water-red clothes, with two wads wrapped around the pair of ruby and beaded flowers, a gold lock of wealth and wealth and longevity on her neck, and a gold lock on her hand. To the gold bracelets, plus the white and tender ones, such a dress is extremely festive.
Yujing is also wearing bright red clothes, but Yujing is a big girl, and her dress is not in the same style as Yuxi. Yu Ru was dressed in autumn-colored clothes, and she was well-dressed. She stood with Yu Jing and Yu Jing was definitely the one who stood out.
Unfortunately, this period of time was very short. When she saw Yuchen in the upper room, Yujing's face was not very good-looking.
Yuchen was wearing sapphire blue clothes, and she didn't dress up deliberately, but even if she just dressed in ordinary clothes, she looked like a jade girl made by Guanyin Bodhisattva wherever she stood.
Yuxi's outfit was originally festive, but with Yuchen present, she was immediately made to look tacky. Yuxi didn't seem to know, she smiled and stepped forward and called, "Third sister."
Yuchen nodded and greeted Yuru and Yujing again. It's a pity that every time the two face Yuchen, it's very unnatural.
The Zhou family of the Marquis of Changping was the old lady's family, and the old lady and the present Marquis of Changping were brothers and sisters. At this time in the last life, Yuxi was still in good health and was still recuperating in the Rose Garden, so Yuxi had nothing to do with Yuxi at the birthday banquet of the first wife of the Marquis of Changping.
The Marquis of Changping's mansion is not as spacious as the mansion of the prince, but it is also extremely rich, and it is very delicately arranged everywhere. The servants are also very disciplined.
When I arrived at the Marquis of Changping, the first person I went to see was Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was wearing a 4D golden dark-patterned clothes, and she looked kind and kind.
Mrs. Zhou looked at Yuxi and said with a smile, "This child looks happy." Well, the old man likes to be lively, and he also likes to look at cute children in white and tender.
When you meet an elder for the first time, there is a greeting. Mrs. Zhou rewarded Yuxi with a gold bracelet, which was also inlaid with five huge pearls.
The people in the room looked at the gold bracelet with strange expressions. Without him, although this thing is valuable, no one will wear it, it is too tacky.
When they went out, Shi Xu, the ninth girl from the Marquis of Changping, asked Yuxi with a smile, "Will you wear that gold bracelet in the future?"
Oak-hee didn't want to say that, she just said, "It's too heavy to wear." Of course, the heavier it is, the more she likes it, it's worth the money!
Shi Xu giggled: "Then you can wear it when you grow up." I have never seen such an open-eyed person.
Yuchen frowned, but she didn't get angry when she looked at Yuxi. Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't say anything.
When they got to the garden, a pretty girl came over and called to Yuchen, "Sister Chen, you're here too!"
Yuchen introduced them to the two: "Sister Shihua, this is my fourth sister." Zhou Shihua himself ranked sixth, and is seven years old this year.
Zhou Shihua looked at Yuxi, covered her mouth and smiled, "Cousin Yuxi is so cute."
Yuxi didn't feel embarrassed, but said generously: "Thank you cousin for your praise." Yuchen can't compare with her beauty and talent. Anyway, no matter what she wears, she has to look scumbags.
It's not that Yuxi has never been to the Zhou family in her last life, but the girls in the Zhou family treated her coldly and indifferently. This time, I don't know if it was because of Yuchen's introduction that Zhou Shihua was kind to her.
Shi Ya, the eighth girl of the Zhou family, who is also four years old this year, said with a smile when she saw Yuxi, "Yeah, you look really good in what you wear."
Ok-hee looked at him a little embarrassed. This week Shiya is also wearing aqua red clothes, with a circle of red coral beads around the wattle, and wearing a gold pendant with eight treasures on her chest. What's even more amusing is that the two not only dress, but also have some similar appearances. They both have round faces, and they are white and tender. If it wasn't for Oak Xi being shorter, others would definitely think that the two would be twins.
Oak-hee was a scumbag in communication, so she replied, "You're also very good-looking."
Zhou Shiya was delighted: "Well, we both look good." Zhou Shiya is the only girl in the second room, and she is also a direct descendant, so she is particularly favored and has a very innocent temperament.
After hearing this, Zhou Shihua said she was speechless: "Fourth sister, is there such a lady who sells melons and brags about herself?"
Zhou Shiya turned her head to the side, blinked her big round eyes, and asked, "Sixth sister, don't you think I look good with the fourth cousin?" She looked like I would cry when you said it was ugly.
Zhou Shihua chuckled and said, "It's beautiful, my eighth sister is the best. Eighth sister, fourth sister is boring alone. Would you like to play with her?"
Shiya gave Zhou Shihua the back of her head and said to Yuxi, "Cousin, there are a lot of delicious food in the pavilion over there, let's go there."
Oak-hee knew that her poor communication had to be improved, and making more friends was not only a lot of talkers, but also a network of contacts. She naturally wouldn't refuse Shi Ya's favor.
Shiya took Yuxi to a pavilion and asked the maid to bring fruit snacks. Sweeping the fruit on the table, he said to the maid next to him, "Go and get the lychee that my uncle sent."
Yuxi had eaten lychees, but very little. After all, they were shipped from southern Fujian, so most people could not afford them. Rao is the government's mansion, and he doesn't eat it often: "No need, that thing is very cheap!" A catty of lychees on the market costs several taels of silver!
Shi Ya pursed her lips and smiled: "My uncle sent it from southern Fujian, without money."
Oak-hee was a little embarrassed: "Let's keep it for you to eat!"
Shiya felt that Yuxi was too grumpy: "You can eat as much as you want, why are there so many words?"
The maid quickly brought a plate of lychees. Shiya peeled it off, revealing the tender and white flesh inside. Seeing that Yuxi didn't move, she said, "Hurry up and eat, or else they won't be able to eat it when they come." This is a private collection, not everyone has it. .
Yuxi thought about it for a while and didn't feel polite anymore, the two of you ate it one by one.
Zhou Shihua looked at Yuxi and Shiya from a distance, and felt that the two of them got along very well. He smiled and said to Yuchen, "I heard that the fourth cousin is very dull, I think it is very interesting!"
Yuchen also smiled: "Since the fourth sister has recovered from her illness, she has become a lot smarter."
Zhou Shihua thought it was very interesting. This time smallpox ravaged the capital, and four of their children died of the infection. Those who survive are lucky.
When they went back, Zhou Shiya took Yuxi's hand and said, "Cousin, next time we will wear the same clothes, um, we have to wear the same jewelry. If people look at us, they will definitely think we are twins. Hehe. , it's very interesting to think about it."
Yuxi's face was sullen. This little girl spent a long time talking in Perak Bara all morning, and she was not too tired.
Go to the Marquis of Changping and get a chat friend.
Yuchen has been to Changping Marquis Mansion several times. Knowing the temperament of the eighth girl, she smiled and said to Yuxi, "Cousin Ya is very easy to get along with besides her liking to talk."
Yuxi said with a wooden face, "I know." Everyone has shortcomings, and she has many shortcomings. As long as you have a good heart, everything else is fine.
Qiu Shi knew that Zhou Shiya asked Yuxi to wear the same clothes as her next time, and found it very interesting: "Yuxi, you will dress like Shiya next time, I think it is very interesting."
Oak Xi immediately shook her head and said, "No." She didn't want to be treated like a monkey!
Qiu Shi was just joking, and seeing that Yuxi was unwilling, she would not talk about it again: "Yuxi, you have to go out and walk more in the future." The maid told her what happened just now. Today Yuxi's performance was not good, but because Yuxi Hee is going out for the first time, so she is not harsh. However, she decided that she would take Yuxi out to socialize more in the future, otherwise it would be a big trouble if she couldn't even speak well.
Naturally, Yu Xi would not object: "Okay." She watched Yu Chen and Zhou Shihua get along together, and she was envious and ashamed of getting along so well. It is not unreasonable for the old lady to prefer Yuchen, Yuchen is impeccable in every aspect.
