Chapter 93: Mrs. Guan Hosts a Banquet to Speech Out 2
Xian Ziqian was wearing an aqua blue dress, and her hair was simply pulled up on her head with an aqua blue hairpin. This little daughter has had good hair since she was born, black and shiny, like fine silk.
The eldest daughter Zi Ai is not as good as her, so even a simple hairpin cannot conceal her splendor.
"Hello, brother Yucheng." Xian Ziqian immediately replied politely, bent down and saluted.
Mrs. Xian was stunned again. Zi Yun actually called Guan Yucheng brother Yucheng?! Did she mishear? "Zi Yun, why are you so rude? How can you call Mr. Guan like that?"
"I want Sister Zi Jian to be called this." Guan Yucheng immediately explained to Mrs.
Name, a family should be so close."
Mrs. Xian didn't know how to react for a moment, so she could only laugh twice. She was really not used to others taking her little daughter so seriously, "In that case, let's be more intimate. Zi Dian, you go there early in the morning.
Where are you? Mrs. Guan specially asked Yu Cheng to come over and invite us to have dinner at her house. She is only waiting for you."
Xian Ziqian immediately said respectfully: "My daughter went to buy some embroidery thread and came back."
"Isn't there no need to embroider that peony picture?" Mrs. Xian blurted out without thinking about it, "The Xuan family has canceled that gift from the gift list, so why are they still buying embroidery thread?"
The excuse to buy embroidery thread was also Xian Ziqian's casual excuse. After hearing what her mother said, she subconsciously glanced at Guan Yucheng and said, "No, my daughter had a pattern for the palace, and the embroidery thread in her hand was the wrong color, so she rushed here all the way."
I looked for it in the shop I often go to. I was so anxious that I forgot to tell my mother."
"It's okay, Yu Cheng is not in a hurry anyway." Guan Yucheng immediately said with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that sister Zi Yuan is good at embroidery. When are you going to ask her to embroider something for me?"
Xian Zijian's face turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word. Although she called her brother Yucheng, they were men and women after all, so how could she embroider something for Guan Yucheng, who was not yet married.
When Guan Yucheng saw Xian Zijian's face turned red and lowered his head without saying a word, he realized that his words were a bit frivolous. He smiled sheepishly and immediately changed the subject, "Why don't we go to our house now?"
While he was talking, Qin Yun walked in from outside, her face slightly flushed, her head half-bowed, her voice slightly trembling, as if she had been suppressing her emotions, "Madam, the eldest lady said that the medicine has been taken, please let me
Come over and talk to the madam, but I still feel a little heavy. If the madam has nothing important to do for the second lady, the eldest lady would like to ask the second lady to come over and talk to her."
"Okay." Mrs. Xian agreed immediately, but when she turned her head and saw Guan Yucheng again, she remembered that Guan Yucheng had come to invite her and Xian Ziqian to go to Guan Mansion for a banquet. Then she thought again, it shouldn't be a problem whether Xian Ziqian went to Guan Mansion or not, so
He smiled and said, "Yucheng, look--"
Guan Yucheng frowned quickly, then opened his eyebrows again, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister-in-law is not feeling well. In this case, Yucheng will not force Mrs.
Mrs. Xian's mouth opened and she couldn't say a word for a long time. She originally thought that Guan Yucheng came over and said that Mrs. Guan asked her and her little daughter to go to Guan Mansion for a banquet just as a polite word. Zi Ai was getting married soon, so it was naturally inconvenient to go to Guan Mansion, so
He politely invited Xian Ziyuan to go, so he decided to leave Xian Ziyuan at home to accompany Xian Zi'ai. He did not expect such a result.
"Sister Ziyuan, do you have anything else to do?" Guan Yucheng looked at Xian Ziyuan with a smile.
Xian Zijian was startled, and said hesitantly: "Zijian is fine, but why don't you ask your mother to accompany brother Yucheng to the house for a banquet, and Zijian stays to take care of your sister?"
Guan Yucheng smiled slightly and said: "Before Yucheng went out, his mother repeatedly told him to invite his wife and sister Ziqian to go together. My mother said that there were some important things to discuss, so Yucheng had to ask sister Ziqian to go. As for
“Mrs.
Mrs. Xian only felt that she was a little dizzy, so she could only say: "Since the in-laws have important matters to discuss, Zi Ai has already taken the medicine. Qin Yun, go back and tell Zi Ai to have a good rest. Zi Ai and I will leave from Guan Mansion."
Go see her as soon as you get back."
"Yes." Qin Yun responded and turned to leave. Xian Ziqian glanced at her unintentionally and seemed to see that the red color on Qin Yun's face was the mark of a slap when she left in a hurry. Did her sister hit her?
After riding Guan Yucheng's carriage and leaving Xian Mansion, the group arrived at the gate of Guan Mansion. Guan Yupeng was coming out to greet her.
Looking at himself and his mother getting off the carriage, there was no sign of saying hello.
"It turns out that Brother Xuan has arrived early." Guan Yucheng immediately said hello with a smile, and then turned to explain to Xian Ziqian, "When I was going out, I happened to hear the eldest brother's entourage coming back and saying that the eldest brother and Brother Xuan will come to the house later.
After we get married, we have to return to the border, and my eldest brother will get married in three days. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate to invite Brother Xuan to dinner, so I specially invited him over in advance. It's just right, and it will be fun for everyone to have dinner together."
Xian Ziqian didn't understand why Guan Yucheng had to explain everything to her so clearly, but she still nodded and said softly: "Yeah."
Since Xuan Yi is still like this, and his mother is with him, his sister is not here, and they are having dinner together in Guan Mansion, he shouldn't show his admiration for his sister, right? In other words, in this situation, she
You don’t have to pretend to like him, right?
"Hello, Mrs. Xian." Guan Yupeng said politely. Although they were soon to be a family, his title was still very distant and polite, "Hello, sister Ziyuan." His attitude towards Xian Ziyuan was closer.
Mrs. Xian immediately smiled and said gently: "Yupeng, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you? You look good. You are someone who has spent some time at the border. You look energetic."
Xuan Yi snorted softly, as if he was extremely disdainful of Mrs. Xian's compliment to Guan Yupeng.
"The in-laws are here." A group of people walked into the front hall, and Mrs. Guan's voice immediately sounded. She stood up from the chair with a smile on her face, "I was talking to Yu Peng. Yu Cheng is a long-winded child. Please invite the in-laws."
It takes so much time to have dinner with Miss Zijian."
"It's not Yu Cheng's fault." Mrs. Xian said immediately, "Zi Yu went out to buy things early in the morning and came back late, leaving Yu Cheng waiting at the house for a long time."
