Second Marriage - Chapter 58
The weather in Beijing gradually became cold after the fall, and the maids turned out Xiao Youning’s jacket and skirt with interlayers.
Yuanguo picked up a water-blue Huanhua brocade dress to help her change her clothes.
As soon as the skirt was on the upper body, the two looked down and found that her embroidered shoes embroidered with pink lotus were brightly exposed, and the skirt was quite short.
“The girl has grown up this year. This was made last year and autumn. She only crossed it once.” Yuanguo smiled in surprise, and looked up again.
The girl in their family is not long, she has a longer stature, her waist is more slender, and her chest is bulging.
“It’s so beautiful…” Yuanguo squinted her eyes, and her mind was full of her girl’s graceful steps.
It’s really beautiful!
Xiao Youning didn’t understand for a while. This was so easy to see what she was doing. When she found Yuanguo’s finger-hook eyes falling in front of her, she slapped her forehead.
“Where did you learn to be an apprentice!” She was so embarrassed that her ears were red, and Yuanguo laughed, “What a girl is ashamed, this is a good thing. Look at me, those little maids admire me and love me behind them all. Look at it.”
Yuanguo straightened her chest proudly.
Xiao Youning glanced at her speechlessly, comparing herself with her is actually nothing. Yuan Guo is how old she is.
But is everyone envious of such a figure?
Is it because… men like it?
She blinked, her long eyelashes half-dangling, wondering…Does Ye Shen like plumping too.
After thinking about it, I turned my face flushed with embarrassment, and hurriedly stopped those unreserved thoughts, and said to Yuanguo: “You can put the skirt on, I remember I was afraid of it before, and I kept it on purpose.”
Yuanguo said: “The girl remembered correctly, I’ll find someone else to send it to the embroiderer first. If the girl doesn’t go out, she will wear this body first.”
It is not good for outsiders to look at the girl’s feet.
While talking, the steward asked to see him with a smile on his face.
The manager came into the room and gave her a gift, and asked someone to bring in several big boxes and cages painted in red: “Girl, this was sent by the fifth master.”
“For me?”
She was strange.
Okay, give her something.
Yuanguo had happily opened one by one, and looked back in surprise and called her to see: “Girls, they are all clothes and fashionable jewelry, and there are many gems and pearls that can be used to make the face!”
Xiao Youning was startled and walked forward, only to be dazzled by the array of things.
Those clothes are mostly Yunjin, and it goes without saying that it is luxurious. The problem is that Yunjin is a tribute. How could Ye Shen get so much? He made two boxes of clothes for her!
And those pearls and gems… “Who sent them?” Rao was rich herself, and her heart jumped.
Guan Shi smiled and replied: “It was a supervisor sent by the fifth master. He said that he used to run errands in front of the old lady.”
This is humility, at least it is a decent steward, maybe it is Mrs. Ye’s confidant.
“People are gone?” She felt that this thing was too expensive to accept all.
“Just put down the things and left, and said that the girl can accept it, and it is called seeing outside if it is not accepted.”
With this, Xiao Youning completely rested her mind, she wanted to send it back, and Ye Shen estimated that she would have to send it back herself.
What’s more, the things sent by the lover were immediately the husband-in-law, and she accepted them, and then brought them over.
With a smile in her eyes, she asked Yuanguo to take out her clothes one by one, and then chose a set of pomegranate red.
“Wuye has a good vision, the girl looks the best in red!”
She was already gorgeous, and she couldn’t hold down any color of that gorgeousness, she was bold and beautiful.
Xiao Youning pursed her lips and smiled, turning around in the mirror: “It’s redder, just like a wedding dress.”
Yuanguo teased that the girl wanted to marry, and the two became a group.
Not long after a steward had left, the guard next to her father came over with the news of a visitor.
“Girl, the Ye family elder and his wife came to visit, to mention the Xiaoye clan… it was the former wife of Li Shilang to apologize. The lord said that there are no female dependents at home, and he is not good to entertain Mrs. Ye and ask the girl what she means.
Asking her what she meant was worth thinking about. Her father wanted to see her wishes and could not accept the Ye family’s compensation this time. If she accepts, there are no other female relatives in the family except her, and she assumes that she is going to treat guests.
She frowned slightly in thought.
Xiao Ye’s character corruption is a personal matter. She will marry the Ye family in the future, which is half of the Ye family. Ye Shen’s eldest brother and sister-in-law all laid down to apologize, she was too ignorant to hold it.
There is no such thing as annoying others.
Ye’s parents’ room is not at fault.
She stood up and sorted out the clothes, and said to the guard: “Let’s go, where are the guests now?”
There are no older women in the Hou Mansion, so there are very few banquets. Even if there are, they are all male guests. Xiao Youning grew up so big, it was the first time to entertain guests seriously.
She pondered the regulations, and when she walked on the veranda, she ordered people to clean up the flower hall and prepare hot tea and cakes.
Madam Ye had already met Ning Yuanhou, she was a family member who seemed out of place among men. After sitting down, he looked out and looked at the courtyard of the Hou Mansion. He happened to see Xiao Youning coming from the veranda.
The little girl has a slender waist and looks like willow branches swaying in the wind when she walks. Just a figure is enough to taste countless styles. After seeing the face that was brighter than the clothes on her body, Mrs. Ye could understand why the fifth uncle at home was so moved.
As she walked, she told the people around her, her expression was calm and introverted, and occasionally she smiled slightly, and the cinnabar moles under her were all stained with that smile.
The girl from Ningyuan Hou’s family is so stunning!
She only remembered seeing her a few years ago, she was still childish and her face was round. Her elder sister actually divorced such a beauty, is Li Qingzhi also blind?
Madam Ye slandered, Xiao Youning had already arrived.
She first bowed to her father and brother, and was led to bow to Master Ye before finally speaking with Mrs. Ye.
“I’ll take my wife for a walk elsewhere. My father is talking about things that our women don’t like to hear, but it’s boring.” She smiled, as if he had failed to speak, and hurriedly made his wife laugh, “I am young. I’m not a common person, and my mouth is dumb and can’t speak. Madam, don’t take it to heart, Madam should accompany me to let the wind go.”
Show the liveliness of these years to the fullest. Without those grand-sounding greetings, it makes people feel close.
Mrs. Ye smiled again and again and said, “Girl, this is true temperament.”
Ning Yuanhou saw that his daughter was able to deal with the future concubine very well. He could not be more relieved. He could see that the daughter was leaving with someone. He thought that soon her daughter would belong to someone else’s family.
This is the second time I have experienced this kind of feeling, the double shock is really uncomfortable, making him sigh in melancholy. However, it made Master Ye very nervous, wondering if Ning Yuanhou was reluctant to approach the Ye family.
Xiao Youning led Mrs. Ye to symbolically circle the road with seasonal flowers and trees, so as to round out the words of visiting the garden.
Madam Ye looked at the half-open flower buds in the flower garden, her eyes smiled even more, changing the pattern to praise the spacious and beautiful Hou Mansion, and she also praised Xiao Youning’s young but well-organized mansion.
In short, what is good to praise, so that Xiao Youning finally understands what is called lingual lotus, Madam Ye is really too good at talking.
When they arrived at the flower hall, the servants brought hot tea. Mrs. Ye took a few mouthfuls to moisturize her throat, and her narrow eyes curled and said: “There are some chrysanthemums in the small garden that haven’t bloomed yet. In our house, we opened a batch first. It happened that the old lady came back, and the people tried their best to urge the early batch to make the old lady look happy.”
Xiao Youning didn’t know that Ye Shen had left the Ye family to live outside, thinking that the old lady was still in Ye Mansion, and nodded: “That’s all my heart.”
Mrs. Ye’s voice followed: “No, so, in order to be more fun, we will hold a flower viewing banquet the day after we go to the house. If the girl is free, she will show her face and join in the fun.”
“Where is the madam, you can shame me.” Xiao Youning was taken aback, and soon realized that this was the intention of Madam Ye, who wanted her to be a guest at Ye’s house.
Didn’t Ye Shen say that they haven’t told the Ye family about their affairs?
So Mrs. Ye discovered it, or it happened that it was because of an apologize and by the way, the relationship was closer.
But no matter what it is, she seems to have no reason to refuse.
As she was thinking, Mrs. Ye happily made a decision while holding the kerchief: “Then I will send someone a post when I turn around. I didn’t get the girl’s meaning, I’m afraid it will be abrupt.”
“Madam is too polite.” Xiao Youning followed with a smile.
Madam Ye was really magnanimous, so she bluntly said that she came to ask her wishes.
Forget it, the Ye family will go sooner or later.
Even though he thought so, Xiao Youning hesitated again after Master Ye and his wife left.
To see Mrs. Ye, I was nervous no matter what.
They have never met before.
She looked down at the small wooden plaque she had been wearing in front of her, and ran to ask her father and brother what gifts to bring as a guest at someone’s home.
Except for being teased by the two, I got nothing, so I went back to the house and called to take care of the work, asking what good things the storeroom had.
Yuanguo was clever, and said to her: “The girl asks someone to ask the fifth master what the old lady likes, isn’t it?”
She shook her head: “Don’t ask him, I don’t think Mrs. Ye didn’t mention the fifth master, maybe she didn’t tell him that I would go to the banquet. I’m going to scare him, so don’t let it go.”
