Chapter 231 The doubts are deeper
The girl in front of her is wearing this pink gauze skirt, without any trace of restraint or nervousness. Her outstanding temperament is even more prominent against the gorgeous clothing.
Upon closer inspection, her eyebrows are exquisite, especially those black stone-like eyes, which reveal the light of cleverness and thorough wisdom.
How could a girl with such an outstanding temperament be an ordinary country girl?
Xi Yalan looked at her, and the more she looked, the more she felt that there was a sense of familiarity in her eyebrows.
Yes!
The person in front of me looks so much like her when she was young.
How?
How could there be such a strange thing in the world?
Trying her best to steady her mind, she held on to the back of the chair, supporting her almost paralyzed legs, and said, "Quick, come to the table, let's eat first."
As she spoke, she reached out and took Xia Qianqian's right wrist.
"Ouch!" Xia Qianqian cried out in pain, which frightened Xi Yalan and let go again, "What's going on?"
Xia Qianqian straightened the wristband on her right wrist, stretched out her fingertips, and said sheepishly: "Yesterday, when I was covering the medicine cauldron with my hand, I accidentally got burned by the medicine cauldron."
Upon hearing that she was burned, Xi Yalan hurriedly came over and looked at the wound, "How is it? Is it serious?"
Xia Qianqian shook her head silently, "It's not serious. But it will hurt if you exert a little force."
"Aunt Rong!" Xi Yalan ordered: "Go, take out the burn ointment from my house and give a bottle to Miss Xia."
"You're welcome!" Xia Qianqian refused: "I have medicine there."
"You have medicine, it belongs to you. This bottle of medicine is my heart, you must keep it."
Xi Yalan's eyes kept lingering on Xia Qianqian's face, "Miss Xia, look at your features, your mother must be a beauty too."
Xia Qianqian smiled and said, "She is indeed pretty. But she is a peasant woman, and her beauty is ruined by the lack of clothes."
"Oh?" Xi Yalan said calmly: "Are you similar to your mother?"
Xia Qianqian didn't understand why she asked so, and her expression was slightly dull.
Xi Yalan smiled slightly and explained: "Don't mind, I'm just doing it at home."
Mentioning the fate between the two, Xi Yalan said with emotion: "When we first met, you gave me the comb in the photo. The second time we met, it was in Nianxian Academy. You broke in without permission and I scolded you.
.You didn’t care, and you rescued me.”
Speaking of this, Xi Yalan looked at Xia Qianqian with eyes full of love, "I didn't expect that you would be Cao Ran's savior. And I am his eldest sister. This kind of fate is truly wonderful!"
"You saved Cao Ran, you saved Mr. Liu, and you once rescued me when I fainted. I should keep this kindness in mind."
The lady in front of me does not have a high self-esteem like other ladies in the Houmen compound. She is very approachable, especially towards her, who seems to have an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Xia Qianqian was busy with her blessings, and said in panic: "Madam, you're welcome, I am a doctor, and it is my duty to save lives and heal the wounded."
The two of them chatted a few more times, and more than a dozen boys filed in. After a while, the table in front of them was filled with delicious and delicious meals.
Seeing that Xia Qianqian's hand was injured, Xi Yalan even served her dishes herself without having to do anything to Grandma Rong.
Xia Qianqian was a little flattered, thinking that maybe this lady had always treated herself as her daughter.
Letting her take care of her may also satisfy some of her wishes for her daughter.
After that, Xia Qianqian did not stop her and accepted Xi Yalan's preferential treatment with peace of mind.
On the other hand, Cao Ran, who was treating guests, couldn't get a word in, so he simply sat aside and just picked up his chopsticks, eating until his stomach was full.
After the meal, tea, pastries and fruits were served on the table.
Xi Yalan grabbed Xia Qianqian and started chatting about family affairs again. Xia Qianqian was a little overwhelmed.
Outside the door, a young boy hurried in and reported back: "Sir, Guard Xiao's carriage is here."
Cuttlefish said he would come to pick her up, and he actually came.
Xia Qianqian quickly stood up and said to Xi Yalanfu, "Madam, I'm sorry to bother you, I'm going back first."
"Okay." Xi Yalan was a little reluctant to leave, her eyes still falling on her clothes.
Xia Qianqian came to her senses and hurriedly promised: "Madam, I will clean this dress when I go back and I will definitely send it back to you."
"No!" Xi Yalan smiled lonely, "This dress is given to you."
"But..." Xia Qianqian hesitated. If this was the clothes she made for her daughter, she really shouldn't wear them.
"No, but you are dressed appropriately. Next time you come to see me, you can still wear it, okay?" There was a bit of longing and expectation in her voice.
This lady really treats her as her daughter.
"Okay!"
Xia Qianqian stood up, and Aunt Rong led the way, "Girl, please come this way."
The two of them left the hall, walked along the corridor, and headed to the outer courtyard.
Xi Yalan stood under the eaves, watching the back getting further and further away, her eyes seeming to be fixed on it, reluctant to leave.
Cao Ran's mind moved slightly and he reminded: "Sister, I know what you are thinking. But it is impossible for her."
A baby was shot by an arrow and fell into the Fu'an River. How could he possibly survive?
"I definitely think she is!"
Xi Yalan refused to give up, "Brother, do you feel that there is a bit of me in her eyebrows?"
Cao Ran had this illusion when he first met Xia Qianqian.
But he had met Li Yunniang, "She is somewhat similar to her mother."
"Then I must meet her mother."
Xi Yalan was determined, while Cao Ran on the side shook his head helplessly.
After leaving the gate of the General's Mansion, Xia Qianqian stood on the side of the street holding a small flower umbrella and waved to the green tent carriage in the distance.
Xiao Yong drove up and when he saw her, his eyes were a little uncomfortable, "Miss Xia, get in the car quickly."
On weekdays, she would just hold the shaft of the car with both hands and jump into the car.
But today is different. This skirt is a bit narrow and cannot be jumped on.
Besides, the tips of her fingers still hurt.
Seeing this, Xiao Yong hurriedly moved the little boy who was getting on and off the carriage. Xia Qianqian held his shoulders and got on the carriage.
In the carriage, Ji Zimo was immersed in some letters and confidential documents. When he heard her getting on the carriage, he asked: "How is it? Is everything going well?"
"Yes!" Xia Qianqian sat aside politely.
"Then you're full, how about..." As he spoke, he raised his head, and when he saw her, his expression froze.
Every time she appeared in front of him, she was dressed plainly and elegantly. Today, she changed into a peach-red waist skirt, which actually brought out a charming face like a peach blossom.
"What are you..." He looked slightly startled at first, then a little annoyed, "Why did Cao Ran give you clothes at the thank you banquet he invited you to?"
His tone was sour, and he was inexplicably happy.
Xia Qianqian suppressed a smile, "My clothes are wet. These clothes were given to me by Mrs. Xi."
Upon hearing this, his expression softened a bit, "Xiao Yong, go to Yupin Pavilion."
"Why go to Yupin Pavilion again?"
Seeing that it was getting dark and raining outside, Xia Qianqian wanted to go home early.
"I'll customize some clothes for you."
"Why do you want to customize clothes for me?"
