After winter, there were two winds blowing in the capital. It was really cold.
On the day of Zhou Xian and Ji Ji, Xiuying got up early in the morning, followed Feng's back, and shook her hands, exhaling bursts of white air.
Looking at her daughter, who had put on her fur collar, Feng stamped her feet with cold and said with a smile, "how can you do that? It's not until the coldest time." After that, let Xinmei go to fetch her the stove.
Xiuying busy stopped: "don't go, today there are outsiders to see me more spoiled."
"It's freezing?"
"It's OK. I'm active. Please call me to run errands." The little girl shook her head, and she did not know how she was so afraid of the cold.
Seeing her insistence, Feng thought that it would be good to let her walk more, and he did not talk much. When the second wife and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family came, Feng ordered her to go to the kitchen with Xu.
It's always warmer there than outside.
Xiuying then smiles and walks away with her sister-in-law's hand. Liao's side is to welcome the guests, and Mrs. Zhou also went to the battle in person. At this time, she was waiting in front of the gate of hanging flowers.
Zhou Xian is still in the house, dressing up, and hairpin ceremony, just wearing clothes on several procedures, naturally also busy with the people's feet.
Zhou Xian was pulled around like a puppet to do this and that with a wooden face.
Mrs. Zhou's most powerful mother Lin was also there to help. Soon, someone said that Mrs. Shi was coming. Her face was filled with laughter and she wanted to welcome her out. However, seeing Zhou Xian's face still cold, there was no point of jubilation. In my heart, I remembered the old master's order. I must not let the stone family see anything.
In the heart of this big girl, there are people she can't think about!
Mrs. Lin took back the feet she had carried out. Looking at Zhou Xian, who had made up on her face, she walked over with a smile: "big girl, you bought the gouache from jinghuayue by four girls today. It's really beautiful. When Mrs. Shi saw it, she must be more satisfied. The old lady must not recognize it! "
Lin's mother is a personal genius. She knows what she should say and what she shouldn't say. She can't directly preach to Zhou Xian. She wants to greet Mrs. Shi with a smile, but she can be tactful.
The first mention of Xiuying is to tell her that Feng Shizi is going to marry someone else. The second is to mention Mrs. Shi and the old lady, which is an invisible deterrent.
Sure enough, Zhou Xian heard the whole people tremble. Remembering that she had been with Mrs. Zhou yesterday, the old man said sternly that if she dared to screw up the marriage of the Shi family and damage the reputation of the Zhou family, she would be sunk into the pond to plead with her ancestors.
The old man used to love her. He never said such cruel words. At that time, his expression was extremely cruel. She was scared.
What's more, last time she made trouble, her father also wanted her to make a self-determination, so as not to pollute the reputation of the Zhou family.
Zhou Xian was afraid and resentful. She almost burst into tears, but she held back. She can only bear it now!
Zhou Xian stands up in front of the makeup mirror and follows Lin's mother to meet Mrs. Shi. Mrs. Shi is very satisfied with the established second daughter-in-law in the future. Originally, the stone family and the Zhou family have made friends, but now they have a good family relationship, and they have only more benefits.
Who doesn't want to curry favor with the Feng family now? Feng can't do it. It's good to be with the Zhou family.
The little girl stood beside the old servant and bowed her head. Mrs. Shi thought she was shy and didn't think much. In the room also turn around to help see, after a while, went out to look for Liao.
Xiuying and Xu are comfortable in the kitchen.
Those who are not willing to go to the next room and ask them to do something. What's more, it's not time to turn on the stove.
Xiuying and Xu sat eating melon seeds and chatted with each other. They got on well with each other and could not help talking about Zhou JIACHU's recent situation. The two cousins have been studying hard, and Xiuying doesn't often go there.
How did you know that Xu's eyes turned red when she talked about it. She bit her lips for a long time and didn't speak. Xiuying asked urgently, and then she said things in a low voice.
It turned out that Mrs. Zhou actually intervened in the affairs of the two people's houses, let alone the Xu family. Even her mother-in-law, Liu, had not seen her son for three days. Mrs. Zhou didn't allow Zhou JIACHU to go back to the yard. She ate and lived in her study. She only allowed to go back once in seven days.
When Xiuying heard this, she opened her mouth wide. No one was in charge of grandson's affairs.
Xu Shi is timid, has the grievance to endure all, after saying that busy Xiuying do not make a statement, otherwise she and her mother-in-law will be reprimanded.
Xiuying, of course, comforted her and should not talk nonsense. Then she looked down and calculated that it should have started one or two days after her father and brother left home.
How cold it would be if the second uncle in the northwest knew it!
Xiuying took it to heart.
Zhou Xian's and Ji Ji rites were very ceremonious, with the influence of Zhou Zhen and Feng's family. The Hou's residence was as lively as the guests.
The Tang family, who came to watch the ceremony, was also to give San Fang face. He had been following Feng's family to Liao's side, which was to support Sanfang.
Xiuying sees Tao Yanran while watching the ceremony. She is confined to Mrs. Tao and laughs at everyone reluctantly. When she saw Xiuying, she was looking at her, frightened Xiuying to cover her figure.That kind of vision is too sad, and people like her brother, but it is the fallen flower who deliberately flows mercilessly. She should hide some.
And the hairpin ceremony was very smooth. Liao, who was sweating for his daughter, was finally relieved and was busy with the lunch.
With Feng's permission, Xiuying and Xu went directly to the kitchen to hide in the quiet. Even lunch was used in the small tea room. In fact, Xiuying is also afraid of quarreling with Zhou Xian. Today is the home court of people, and she can't steal the limelight of entertaining guests.
The hustle and bustle of Hou's residence continued until noon. After the guests had dispersed, Liao's family was summoned by Mrs. Zhou. Feng ordered people to clean up and go back to the main courtyard.
Xiuying will find the opportunity to come forward, will hear today Xu said everything.
***
the Zhou family is very busy today, which is also the day when Zheng shencong was sentenced. He can't be an official again after he takes his post. Mrs. Zhou was busy, but secretly sent someone to pick him up to a house. It was the private house under the name of Zhou Laofu, and occupied and placed people there.
The incident of Zheng shencong has always made Li Qingzhao uneasy. He secretly asked people where he was going. When he saw that everything was as usual, he was relieved that he had not been involved in his own affairs.
At the time of going down to the yamen, he received the news and finally asked people to find out Xiuying's birthday. It is really the same!
When he received the exact news, he could no longer bear his anxiety.
That night, Shen Junxiao received the news that Li Qingzhao contacted zhi'er again.
