"It's a coincidence that Miss Xu San has arrived. The village has just sent this year's new tea. Spring tea usually takes another month, but it happens that our village has an old tea tree that has sprouted early. Isn't it to welcome the distinguished guests? Xu San
Miss…Miss Xu San?”
Halfway through Mrs. Qiao's words, she felt something wasn't right. When she took a closer look, Xu Yin seemed to be staring at... her clothes?
Xu Yin came back to his senses and showed an apologetic smile: "I've been on the road for two days and I'm a little out of sorts. Please forgive me, Mrs. Qiao."
She paused for a moment, her eyes still falling on Mrs. Qiao's clothes, and exclaimed: "This bead on Mrs. Qiao's clothes is so dazzling!"
There were some small pearls sewn on Mrs. Qiao's skirt, and a big bead was surrounded in the middle. It was shiny and very eye-catching.
When the guest brought it up, Mrs. Qiao naturally wanted to cater to her, and said with a smile: "This is the Pearl of the South China Sea. The palace bought some last year and everyone divided it up. There was no use for the remaining beads, so I asked someone to sew them onto my clothes."
Put this big pearl together and try to put it together."
Xu Yin couldn't stop praising her: "Mrs. Qiao is so ingenious. She dresses like this, just like the pearl sweater in the play."
Mrs. Qiao was heartbroken and felt even weirder.
Look at what she said, although pearl shirts are rare, but for people like them, it's not a strange thing, so there's no need to mention it, right?
Xu Yin found something new to pay attention to and said to the Lord of Kangle County: "This bracelet is really noble. It's such a big one, so why should it cost one or two more? Look at the flowers carved on it, the craftsmanship is really good."
The Lord of Kangle County raised his wrist and glanced at his mother helplessly.
This bracelet is very ordinary. My mother said that she should wear it in a low-key manner so as not to overshadow the distinguished guests, so she chose the most ordinary one. In terms of value, the various jade bracelets in her dowry were more expensive.
"Miss Xu San, you're so polite..." Lord Kangle was young and rarely entertained guests formally. He didn't know how to respond. He stretched out his hand to stroke the bracelet in desperation, "If you like it, can I give this to you?"
Mrs. Qiao frowned and wanted to scold her.
To give something away from oneself is either to show respect to others, or to reward a servant. Miss Xu San is not a junior, and her status is not much lower than hers. It is so inappropriate to do so!
But before she said anything, Xu Yin had already taken it, with a beaming look: "How can this be so embarrassing? Well... The county master is sincere, so I will be disrespectful. By the way, Xiao Sang, the incense I made before
Where is the bag? Take it out quickly and send it to the county master."
The maid behind her agreed, took out a sachet and brought it over: "My young lady made this with her own hands. I hope the county master doesn't dislike it."
The Lord of Kangle County was flattered.
Who is Miss Xu San? She can kill people with a bow, and she actually embroiders with her own hands. This sachet is too expensive. It is really a big advantage to exchange it for an ordinary gold bracelet.
"How dare you dislike me? It's such an honor."
The Lord of Kangle County couldn't put it down as he held the sachet. Well, the embroidery work is not bad, but the materials used are inferior and the patterns and colors are ordinary. Maybe it was practiced by Miss Xu San?
Mrs. Qiao had really felt that something was wrong.
She is not the head of Kangle County. She has been running the palace for so many years, so how can she not have some discernment? But she can't tell where there is a problem, so she can only pay attention to it first.
It was at this time that Mr. Chu Jiu came.
"Mother."
When Mrs. Qiao saw him, she seemed to have seen a savior: "Ajiu!"
The Lord of Kangle County stood up: "Brother Ninth."
Master Chu Jiu nodded, turned to Xu Yin and saluted: "Third Miss."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Ninth Young Master is well."
Gu Li
Mr. Chu Jiu smiled slightly, turned to Mrs. Qiao and said, "Mother, please rest here for a while, while my fourteenth sister and I will accompany Miss Xu San to see Begonia."
Mrs. Qiao frowned: "Ajiu!"
What's going on with this kid? I didn't even ask the guests for their opinions. I just decided what to do.
Mr. Chu Jiu gave her a reassuring look: "Now that the spring bamboo shoots have come down, it's time to make shredded chicken and bamboo shoot soup for guests. Can mother go make arrangements?"
Mrs. Qiao received his look and nodded slowly: "Okay. You brothers and sisters will treat guests well, and mother will come back as soon as she leaves. Miss Xu San, please stay with me less."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Mrs. Qiao, please."
After Mrs. Qiao left, the smile on Mr. Chu Jiu's face stopped. He glanced at Xu Yin and took the lead out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back: "Let's go!"
The Lord of Kangle County was at a loss and felt that his attitude was a bit contemptuous, so he looked at Xu Yin cautiously: "Miss Xu San?"
Xu Yin was not angry at all, and happily held her hand: "Please, County Lord."
There are several crabapple trees in the garden of the Prince's Mansion in Ha Xing. They are in bloom now, and from a distance, they are a patch of deep and shallow red, brilliant and gorgeous.
Master Chu Jiu asked his maids to stay far away. When he got to the tree, he called the Lord of Kangle County again: "Fourteen, go over there."
The Lord of Kangle County was stunned for a moment: "Brother Ninth?"
Master Chu Jiu frowned and said without explaining, "Go."
The Lord of Kangle County was used to being obedient. Although he was puzzled, he went to another tree.
After confirming that she couldn't hear him, Mr. Chu Jiu put his hand on his forehead. He looked very sad, but his voice was filled with a smile: "Miss Third is really good at pretending. My mother is already suspicious."
Xu Yin laughed and kept his voice in his mouth: "Isn't this what you want?"
Just as Master Chu Jiu was about to answer the conversation, he suddenly stopped alertly, turned his head, and saw Master Eleven coming from the other side.
Before anyone else arrived, the voice came first: "Brother Ninth, are you here to enjoy the flowers too? Oh, which lady is this? Can you introduce me to her?"
Master Chu Jiu frowned and said in a cold voice: "What are you here for?"
"Of course I'm here to enjoy the flowers. Look, how beautiful these flowers are!" The Eleventh Young Master turned his eyes to Xu Yin. He was amazed at the first sight and suspicious at the second, but he soon smiled and greeted him warmly.
, "Isn't this Miss Xu San? It's a name I've admired for a long time. Xiao Ke's surname is Chu. I'm on the 11th and I'm meeting you for the first time."
Xu Yin quickly glanced at Master Chu Jiu and quickly smiled: "It turns out to be Master Eleven. I'm glad to meet you."
Seeing her response, the Eleventh Young Master stepped forward even more eagerly: "Miss Xu San, it's hard on the road? It takes two days to walk from Nanyuan, right? Hey, Ninth Brother is also true, he should go and pick her up early!"
"Fortunately, there are cars on the road, so it's not too hard."
"Where is Miss Xu San? The post house? It's not that far away. If you like flowers, I can take you to see them. If nothing else, we in Hexing have a lot of flowers. It's spring now.
, many flowers are blooming..."
"Really? I just said Hexing is a good place. Look how grand this palace is!"
"It's just so so. Your Nanyuan is also a good place! Speaking of which, our two families are quite close to each other and can be considered neighbors. We should keep in touch with each other more in the future."
"indeed……"
Mr. Chu Jiu had a dull face, but after just a few words, the two of them had a lively conversation and threw him aside.
