Shi Jingchen stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I know!"
Shi Jingxing rolled his eyes at Shi Jingchen and said to Madam Hou: "Mom, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house first."
Shi Jingchen walked over and took Mrs. Hou's hand, "Mom, let's go into the house first."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Okay, Ah Wei, Zhangzhu, don't take what happened today seriously."
Mrs. Hou looked at Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu beside her and said apologetically.
Ning Wei encountered something like this when she came to the house for the first time.
Mrs. Hou was a little upset. She should have listened to Sister Xing's words and let Sister Chen receive Zhangzhu and Ah Wei first. She sent her sister-in-law and Sister Yi away and then went to see them.
Jiang Xingyu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm used to Sister Yi's temper, so my cousin shouldn't mind it."
Mrs. Hou smiled at Jiang Xingyu and said in greeting: "How are you, aunt? Your wedding is coming soon, your mother is very busy, right?"
Jiang Xingyu's grandmother is the biological sister of Duke Chengguo and the aunt of Mrs. Hou.
Jiang Xingyu replied: "Grandma has recently become obsessed with playing leaf cards, and would invite people in her yard to play a few games with her every day.
There are many and complicated things to do in a wedding, and I have been tired of it these days."
Mrs. Hou said with a smile: "Parents in the world are very happy that you are coming out of the cabinet. Even though your mother-in-law is tired, she is also happy in her heart."
Jiang Xingyu nodded and said: "As my aunt said, parents in the world are like me. In fact, there are some things that you only need to give an order to and someone will do it well. But my mother is always worried and insists on doing it herself."
Mrs. Hou said: "It's not that your mother is worried, but she wants to do more for you."
Several people talked as they walked and returned to the Nuan Pavilion. After sitting down, the maid came in to serve tea.
Mrs. Hou raised her head and looked at Aunt Han.
Aunt Han understood and turned to wave to the maid standing beside her.
When the maid saw Aunt Han waving to her, she walked towards Mrs. Hou with the tray. Aunt Han followed her, picked up the sandalwood box in the tray and opened it.
Mrs. Hou stood up, took the box from Aunt Han, and said to Jiang Xing: "Zhangzhu, this look was specially prepared for you by your cousin. Do you like it?"
Jiang Xingyu was very surprised. He looked at the head and face in the box, then at Mrs. Hou, and asked, "Is this for me?"
Mrs. Hou nodded, "It's for you, do you like it?"
Jiang Xingyu lowered his head and looked at the exquisite head and face in the box, and said happily: "I like it. It's not the first time I've been back to the Hou Mansion. Why did my cousin bother to prepare a gift for me?"
Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "As long as you like it, this is the last time you will visit your aunt's house as a girl. The next time you visit, you will be a wife.
My cousin hopes that our palms will be safe and smooth in the future, and that all our wishes will come true."
Jiang Xingyu thanked him repeatedly, and then asked Jinxin to take his head and face away.
Jinxin asked the maid to bring the prepared gifts.
Zaohua took the opportunity to bring the prepared gifts. When Mrs. Hou saw the plain-crested lotus tripod, she was so happy that she stood around looking at it for a long time and praised it repeatedly.
Shi Jingxing received the calligraphy and painting, and Shi Xingchen also liked it very much when he received the Nine Links.
Seeing that they liked it, Ning Wei felt relieved.
At this moment, Ning Wei realized that even though she had been prepared, she was still very nervous, fearing that what she had prepared so hard would be disgusting.
Jiang Xingyu squeezed Ning Wei's hand and said softly: "Don't be nervous, they all like it, you are very attentive."
Ning Wei whispered: "Thank you!"
Aunt Han asked someone to take the plain-guan lotus tripod back to Qingyi Courtyard. Mrs. Hou chased it out and warned: "Be careful!"
Mrs. Hou sat back down again and looked at Ning Wei with a softer look in her eyes.
Next, everyone sat together and talked about common things.
Mrs. Hou, Jiang Xingyu and Shi Jingxing spoke more, while Ning Wei listened more, occasionally picking up a few sentences.
Shi Jingchen wanted to go horseback riding. During the interval between Mrs. Hou and Jiang Xingyu's greetings, he said in a subtle way: "It's so boring just sitting around. Come on, let's go horseback riding. How about it? Grandma will go too, okay?"
Shi Jingxing smiled and said: "My father is not at home, so I ask my mother to ride a horse. I'm afraid you will be itchy!"
Shi Jingchen stuck out his tongue, "Aren't you watching us ride to the head office?"
Jiang Xingyu said: "I won't ride. I'm staying with my cousin on the side. You can ride."
Shi Jingxing took over, "I won't ride either, we'll watch you ride from the side."
Seeing that Jiang Xingyu and Shi Jingxing were neither riding, Shi Jingchen was afraid that Ning Wei would be influenced by them, so he came over and held her hand, "A Wei, they are boring, let's ignore them."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Okay!"
Ning Wei followed Shi Jingchen to the school grounds.
Mrs. Hou asked worriedly: "Can Ah Wei know how to ride a horse? If not, don't force it. If Sister Chen wants to ride a horse, let her do it by herself."
Ning Wei agreed to Shi Jingchen, so she had to keep her word.
Ning Wei smiled and said to Madam Hou: "Nothing, I'll play with Sister Chen for a while, madam, don't worry."
Mrs. Hou only thought that Ning Wei was accommodating to Shi Jingchen. She wanted to teach Shi Jingchen a lesson, but when Ning Wei said this, she couldn't say anything more.
But she felt uneasy and said: "Chen'er, please slow down, pay attention to safety, and take good care of Ah Wei."
After saying that, Mrs. Hou told her servants: "You guys should keep a closer eye on her later and protect Miss Ning."
The servant bowed and said, "Yes, I understand, little one."
Shi Jingchen waved to Mrs. Hou, "Don't worry, Mom, I won't have to worry."
Shi Jingchen led Ning Wei into the school grounds and pointed to the room on the left, "A Wei, let's go change first."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay! Let's go!"
In order to facilitate the training of the female family members in the palace, Weiyuan Hou ordered two rooms to be built next to the school grounds for the female family members to change their clothes.
Mrs. Hou, Jiang Xingyu, and Shi Jingxing went to the attic next to the school grounds, drank tea and chatted, glancing over to the school grounds from time to time.
"Sister Chen's horse riding is getting better and better." Jiang Xingyu said looking at the heroic Shi Jingchen.
Mrs. Hou turned her head and looked over, sighing: "Look at her, how can she look like a girl? How sad!"
Jiang Xingyu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, cousin. Sister Chen just has a more heroic personality and is more open-minded when playing. The girl's family knows how to do it, and she is not left behind."
Shi Jingxing leaned forward to refill Mrs. Hou's tea, and took over the words with a smile: "Zhangzhu is right, Sister Chen looks careless, but she is actually very careful. Auntie, you really don't have to worry about her."
After experiencing the incident in the Chengguo Palace, Shi Jingxing's attitude towards Shi Jingchen changed greatly.
"Ah Wei really knows how to ride a horse?" Mrs. Hou looked at Ning Wei, who was holding the reins and sitting comfortably on the horse.
Jiang Xingyu and Shi Jingxing followed Mrs. Hou's gaze. It was also the first time they saw Ning Wei riding a horse.
In the distance, Shi Jingchen was sitting on a horse. When he saw Ning Wei riding a horse, he walked out calmly and put his hand in his mouth and whistled.
After Ning Wei approached on horseback, he said with a smile: "Ah Wei, you don't look like a novice."
Ning Wei responded casually: "I have been able to ride a horse for a long time. How to play?"
