Chapter 126 New Year's Day, Together in the Hou Mansion

"That's good." Zhao Qingqing thought for a while, and said to her, "Then embroider a piece of green bamboo for me."

The pendant sachets she usually sees Xie Heng wearing are all in this style.

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, but still smiling, nodded in response.

Soon it will be New Years Eve.

Since Xie Heng hadn't returned home, the happy days of the two of them were approaching, they were considered half of their own family, so the Changning Marquis Mansion specially invited him to live together.

In the front yard, it was bustling and bustling. All the mothers-in-law and maidservants were smiling and beaming.

In the backyard, Yunxi sat alone under the window embroidering the green bamboo handkerchief.

A passing little maid walked under the eaves and whispered, "Have you seen our future uncle?"

"I see." The servant girl blushed and smiled secretly, "He is so good-looking. No wonder our lady likes him so much. If I have such a handsome husband, I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

"It's a good idea." The other stared at her and scolded her, "You just want to be a housekeeper, and you are not qualified!"

"Of course I know. I'm just saying, the girl will take the maid in her courtyard, who will get me!"

The two of them were talking, they passed by the window, saw Yunxi, and talked to her through the window, "Everyone is busy in the front yard, why are you embroidering handkerchiefs here alone?"

Yun Xi put down the veil and smiled, "There are too many people in the front yard, so I won't join in the fun. It would be bad if I bump into some nobleman in a while."

Her face was covered with a light veil, only a pair of scissors and curved eyebrows could be seen.

The two of them no longer insisted, but when they were far away, they looked back and sighed, "It's a pity, if I didn't have that veil, I don't know what a pretty beauty she is! Maybe, the girl got married and took her to the Xie Mansion." , I can also be a concubine in the house in the future, and I will be rich and honored from now on."

"You're still worried about others." The maid next to her smiled and pushed her away, "Let's worry about yourself first."

The two talked and laughed, and went away hand in hand.

The hustle and bustle stopped before nightfall.

Bai Zhi got a lot of pouches and purses, and brought a copy to Yunxi, "The girl specially left these for you. Everyone has them, so I can't leave you alone."

Feeling sorry for her again, "It's a pity, you didn't go to the front yard, I don't know how lively it is in front."

Yun Xi smiled, "It's okay, I can still hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks when I'm here. Even though I didn't see it, it's just as lively."

"What's the matter?" Bai Zhi leaned forward, "You haven't met our future uncle yet, have you? He's here too today, talking with our girl!"

She put her face in her hands, and her eyes were full of light, "All the maids in the mansion are hiding in the dark and watching him secretly. It's no wonder that most of the girls in the capital city almost glued their eyeballs to him that day when the top three were parading through the streets." It's okay. It's okay, he only has us girls in his heart."

She was envious and emotional at the moment, Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled.

It just so happened that a servant girl rushed in in a hurry, "Sister Bai Zhi, come quickly! There are bounties being distributed outside again!"

She was in such a hurry that she accidentally bumped into Yunxi's hand which was wearing the veil, and the embroidered hand fell to the ground.

It just so happened that there was half-drunk tea on the table next to her, and she knocked it down too.Drizzle dripping, it was all poured on the handkerchief, and the green bamboo that was almost embroidered on it fainted in an instant.

"Oh!" The servant girl blushed and quickly apologized in a low voice, "Sister Ah Ning, I'm sorry, I forgot to look at it and didn't see it."
