Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 133
The other is wearing an apricot yellow embroidered dress, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a light figure, a quiet expression, a melon-seeded face, Danfeng eyes, bright eyes, bright and beautiful.

Compared with the girl in the lotus-colored dress, her appearance is more gorgeous, more direct, and more... familiar.

The three of them all looked over when they heard the movement, Qiu was the first to laugh and said: "Our distinguished guest is here!"

Said and greeted him: "I told the girls that I met a wonderful person not long ago, they didn't believe it, they insisted on waiting to meet. Come, come, let me introduce you!

"This is Miss Shen I told you about. This is Miss Ning from our West Mansion—" She pointed to the one in the lotus-colored shirt.

Qiu Shi's attitude today was much more enthusiastic than that day, but this was expected by Shen Xi.

She is valuable to the Qiu family, so how could she not give her some face?

Hearing that the person in front of her is the legendary Han Er girl Han Ning, she began to look closely.

Han Ning smiled, her jaw was graceful, her eyes were steady, she really lived up to her reputation as a lady.

"Miss Ning." She saluted slightly.

Everyone is Miss Guanhu, even if he, Han Jiaquan, is powerful, she doesn't have to lower her waist like others.

Han Ning looked at her twice with a smile, and here Qiu led Shen Xi to the girl in yellow.

Speaking of this, her tone became a little more dignified: "This is our cousin, the jewel in the palm of our old lady and aunt, and her boudoir name is beautiful."

Shen Xi knew that Wen Chan's youngest daughter married someone named Song.Then he said to Song Jiao, "Miss Jiao."

She called this beautiful girl with a little meaning.

Song Jiao and Wen Chan look so much alike, and at the first glance just now, she has the illusion that time has not slipped away for decades.

Apart from the similar faces, maybe it's because of the same residence, even the self-restraint in her demeanor and demeanor is very similar to Wen Chan's posture when she was in Zhang's house.

So she felt very familiar with Song Jiao.

Song Jiao also returned the gift meticulously. Compared with Han Ning's generosity, she spent more time quietly paying attention to everything around her.

Shen Xi glanced over her hands, paused for a moment, and found that these hands were not as delicate as those of ordinary young ladies, white or white, or a little thick, as if they had been practicing martial arts all year round, but had never held a needle or thread.

She had seen many women from the Tuoba family practice martial arts, not to mention that the Song family was also a military general who switched to the imperial examination.

"You are Miss Shen? You made the incense that the second sister-in-law gave our old lady?"

At this time, another [-] or [-] year old girl in red came out from under the wisteria trellis.

Like Han Ning, she also has an oval face, with a cinnabar mole the size of a grain of rice between her eyebrows. With her delicate and silky voice, she reveals a bit of savagery.

Han Ning smiled and said: "This is my sister-in-law, let us spoil it, Miss Shen is not surprised." She said again: "Sister Min, you can't be unruly."

Han Min stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, but his unconvinced eyes still fell on Shen Xi's face.

But Shen Xi didn't care.She smiled and said, "Miss Min, please give me some advice."

Han Min saw that she was neither annoyed nor embarrassed, that she was generous and calm, and that she was more at ease than Han Ning, so she frowned again.

"Let's sit in the room." Qiu greeted.

Han Ning pulled Han Min up and said to Song Jiao, "Second Sister-in-law and Miss Shen have something to say, let's go to the old lady first."

Her voice is soft and waxy, very nice.

Song Jiao nodded.

Shen Xi had some understanding of these two girls, and when he heard that they were actually going to Wen Chan's place, his heart moved a little.

Then he nodded at Han Ning again and said: "The last time I came to your mansion, I was unable to greet the old lady in person. Today, Shen Xi also brought two boxes of newly made incense. I would like to ask Miss Ning to come and say hello for you." .”

As she spoke, she took the incense box from Pearl's hand.

It's time for her to meet Wen Chan, she has no idea how to go to see her, but the girls from the Han family in front of her may be a bridge.

Han Ning nodded secretly when she saw that she was polite but neither humble nor overbearing before, but now she also offered to ask her to say hello on her behalf, which is even more surprising.

You must know that there are almost no official household ladies of her level who can deal with her with such confidence.

She took it with a smile and nodded.

Shen Xi watched them leave, and then, guided by Qiu Shi, entered the flower hall where they met that day.

When Shen Xi left the mansion, Xiao Huai had already arrived at Qionghua Terrace.

Seeing that it was still early, he didn't say anything.

After half an hour had passed, Qiu's side had already served Shen Xi tea, and he on the Qionghua Terrace's attic side couldn't help but look at the sky outside.

Su Yan walked in: "Young master, Miss Shen sent someone to send a message to Liu Ling, saying that Miss Shen is delayed by something, and she will arrive later."

Xiao Huaiding looked ahead for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.

Qiu waited for the maids to serve all the tea and fruit, and sat down too, with a smile on their lips, and said, "I wanted to invite the girl over for a long time, but I don't know that someone from the Ministry of Rites has come to propose marriage to the girl recently. My wife handed it over to me again, so there was a delay."

Speaking of this, she leaned towards Shen Xi again, and said with a smile: "I tried the incense and rouge you brought last time, and they turned out to be very good.

"So I gave it to our old lady to try again. I don't think the old lady can't put it down after getting it. There are not many people who can win the favor of our old lady. The girl is really lucky."

Now that the Helian people are unlucky, Wen Chan has the opportunity to pretend to be a noble lady from a family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She, a respectable lady from a famous family, made an incense for her to use, and she even said it was someone else's blessing.

Shen Xi smiled brightly: "I just brought this crudely made thing for my grandma to teach me, but I didn't want grandma to show her love, so I actually presented it to the old lady. I really call it a show of embarrassment."

Qiu Shi invited her to tea with a smile, and looked at her calmly, and then took another longan and peeled it in his hand.

With a slow and unhurried look, he doesn't know what he is thinking.

But Shen Xi was sure that she invited her here today instead of sending someone directly to Shen's house to ask her for incense, there must be something else going on.

So he sipped his tea calmly.

Sure enough, after peeling off the two longans, Qiu looked over with a smile, took the wet handkerchief handed over by the servant girl and wiped her hands.

Then he pointed to the sachet on her wrist with a finger painted in scarlet red, and said, "I see that yours is very unique, and the embroidery is especially good. I wonder if you can help me make two strings of ambergris." Incense, agarwood incense sachets of these spices?"

This sachet is not for an old lady at first glance, and I don't know how she will use it?
After a slight pause in his heart, Shen Xi said: "This ambergris is mostly used by men, I wonder where grandma is going to use it?"
