captive skylark

Chapter 37
Shy as if shy, she raised her eyes slightly to signal him to look there.

The window is wide open under the bamboo curtain.

Outside is the veranda, if there are maids and servants walking under it, you can clearly see it with a glance.

However, Yun Xi didn't intend to do anything with him at all, but he just wanted to stop and give him a little sweetness.

If he himself fell into it, he would be a real idiot.

So she stood up, closed her clothes, and said goodbye to him softly, "I should go to my grandmother's place, and Luqi has to wait outside. She should be suspicious after a long time."

Xie Heng didn't keep her either, and the lotus color belt slipped out of his palm, passed the screen, and went outside.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the empty palm, and suddenly smiled lowly.

His sister, all my thoughts are on him.

How could she not know if there was anyone serving in this courtyard.

When Yun Xi arrived at Jing Xing Zhai, Xie Shuang had already arrived and was talking with Mrs. Xie.

Seeing her coming, he waved hurriedly, and pointed to some bolts of silk on the desk and said to her, "Sister, come quickly, do you think these bolts of silk look good?"

Yun Xi glanced briefly, nodded and asked, "Why are there so many silks and satins, is my sister going to buy a dowry?"

This was a hit on Xie Shuang's words, she smiled "puchi", but teased back, "It's not my dowry, if you want to count it, it should be my sister's dowry."

It turned out that these materials were sent by the Xu family.

Xu Zhijian did such a disgraceful thing, and the Xu family felt very sorry, especially Mrs. Xu.

But it's not easy to talk about it publicly, so after thinking about it, he sent a lot of silk and satin cloth by taking advantage of Jin Qiu's gift of crabs, and attached a red gold and silk-wrapped emerald jade bracelet, so Mrs. Xie Give it to the girl in private.

Since ancient times, elders have given bracelets as relatives.

The Xu family really showed sincerity this time.

Putting the bracelet on Yunxi's wrist, Mrs. Xie nodded her head and said approvingly: "It suits you very well, so don't take it off, just wear it like this."

Yun Xi lowered his head, and gave a soft "hmm", which was regarded as a response.

Xie Shuang leaned over and laughed, "Since I'm wearing his family's bracelet, now I'm really a member of his family."

"Sister Shuang." Unable to bear the shame, Yun Xi bit her lip and glared at her.

Fortunately, Xie Shuang also knew how to measure, so she just let it go and didn't dare to make mistakes.

The two talked a lot at Mrs. Xie's place. The girls were sweet-mouthed, which made the old lady very happy.

Seeing the sun setting, Mammy opened the curtain and came in and said that the few baskets of crabs had been steamed.

"I almost forgot about this." Mrs. Xie came back to her senses, thought for a while, and ordered: "Eating crabs requires wine. It's cold now, order the kitchen to heat up some pots of wine and bring them over."

He also called a few maidservants to go to the two young masters, saying that the old lady was hosting a banquet, and summoned them all to come.

At night, candles were lit in the garden, and the crab feast began.The whole family, old and young, regardless of inside and outside, are all sitting in one place.

Xie Shuang was greedy, even ate a few crabs, drank a few glasses of wine, and leaned on Yunxi's shoulder drunkenly, "Brother Xu's family is really nice, I'm afraid my sister will feel wronged, so I eagerly sent these."

He looked up at her again, "Am I considered to have been favored by my sister?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Yunxi put down the crab legs in his hand, really angry, and poked her with his oily fingers, "The day before yesterday, he said he would help me vent my anger, but today a few crabs will bribe my sister I should be my sister, why not these crabs?"
