God's plan to save

Chapter 42

In the main hall, an old lady with gray hair was sitting on the long couch in the middle with her sleeves folded. She was wearing a forehead of the same color as her clothes. Her hair was neatly combed. Can't see any emotion.

"Xiao Qi is here? It's cold outside, sit down next to your sixth sister and take a while." The old lady only glanced at her, then looked away, and her eyes fell on the girl in aqua blue next to her .

Yan Xiaoqi obediently went to the side and sat down, looking at his nose and heart, listening diligently to the conversation between the two on the long couch.

"Grandmother~" the girl spoke with a long curly ending: "My mother received a post from Mrs. Yong'an Hou Shizi the day before yesterday, inviting us to attend Brother Qian's birthday party."

The old lady smiled like a chrysanthemum, and clapped her hands: "Okay, okay, go and pay attention when the time comes, and tell me, an old lady, when there is something exciting."

"Grandmother really, knowing that I won't tell you, Xiao Wu will definitely tell you everything she sees." Miss Wu hugged the old lady's arm and rubbed it coquettishly, but the corners of her eyes inadvertently followed Xiao Qi Swept over.

While speaking, the curtain was pulled open again, and a woman in her twenties with a woman's hair in a bun came in, followed by a woman with swollen breasts, holding a seven or eight-month-old baby in her arms.

The old lady's expression was finally a little moved, and the smile on her face was much more real. She withdrew her arm held by the fifth girl and greeted the person: "Didn't you stay away from this snowy day?"

The woman took the child from the wet nurse, and moved to the side of the couch. The fifth girl stepped aside and sat back beside the sixth girl, but she still did not forget to glance at Yan Xiaoqi proudly.

"Grandma's yard is not far from us. Brother Ming had a cough a few days ago, and I didn't dare to let him out. I was afraid that if I didn't bring him here, grandma would forget about our little brother Ming. .”

The old lady smiled and raised her hand to poke the woman's forehead: "You girl, you are still so unforgiving after becoming a mother, my family Youlin must be bullied by you every day."

The woman's face turned red instantly, and she refused to let go: "Grandma, what are you talking about, I, how can I..."

After all, she was a little bit speechless, the woman stuffed Brother Ming in her hand into the old lady's arms, then stomped her feet and hid behind the green gauze cabinet.

The old lady picked up Brother Ming and waved her hands to the girls in the room: "The weather is bad, my wife won't keep you any longer, go to your mother's place."

Everyone in the room got up one by one and walked to the door. Compared with other aristocratic families, the people in the mansion are not prosperous. In Yan Xiaoqi's generation, there are nine girls in total, four daughters-in-law and five daughters-in-law.

The older ladies are all married, and the biggest one in the mansion is Miss Fifth, who has always been hostile to Yan Xiaoqi. Among them, Miss Six is ​​the second daughter of the third master, and Miss Eight and Miss Nine are still young. One is the concubine's daughter of the uncle, and the other is the concubine's daughter of the third master.

Yan Xiaoqi took a look at the houses of the girls in the mansion quietly today. The fifth girl who was born on the first day was not close to the sixth girl, and the two just chatted politely when they went out. Separated outside the hospital.

Yan Xiaoqi followed behind the maid, deliberately keeping a few steps away from Miss Fifth.It's just that she was imprisoned for a month, but Fifth Miss had a very happy time during this period, and she couldn't help but want to stab her a few words.

"Seventh Sister, how come after a month's care, this body can still be blown away by the wind?" Zhao Wen glanced at her sideways, with a hint of envy in the depths of her eyes that she didn't realize.

Her stature is not as slender and tall as Yan Xiaoqi's, and her round body looks a little plump. If she were at the age of the second lady, her figure and her aura would just be able to hold down the servants. In the family of a girl who has not yet reached the level of Ji, there is really nothing to say.

"Fifth Sister said so." Yan Xiaoqi lowered her head, very cautiously refrained from answering the conversation, as a stupid person should speak less.

The provocative words turned into a punch on the cotton. Zhao Wen snorted coldly, turned her head, ignored her, and strode forward.

Mo Songyuan is not far from the Second Madam's yard, but it still takes a long time to walk.Arriving at Lanyuan, Zhao Wen took off her cloak in the front hall, threw it to the maid, and walked into the corridor familiarly.

Yan Xiaoqi was in the hall, hesitating, when she heard Lu Ping behind her whisper, "Miss Wu is different from you, you should wait for the mother-in-law's announcement."

Better wait for the notification?It seems that the original owner is not an honest guy.Yan Xiaoqi sighed in his heart, and waited honestly for the mother-in-law's announcement, but after a stick of incense passed, the charcoal fire in the brazier in the front hall had been extinguished, and there was no one in the yard.

An hour passed, Yan Xiaoqi's soaked shoes had already started to freeze, and she still couldn't wait for the mother-in-law who passed on. She stood in the hall and felt that her feet had lost consciousness.

"Why are you here?"

Wen Lang's voice came from behind, Yan Xiaoqi struggled to twist his body, but only saw a vague figure.

The gentle and straight figure like pine and bamboo is getting closer and closer, that clear and moist face that seems to melt away the snow and mist, no need to guess who is coming.

Yan Xiaoqi wanted to bend over to salute, but found that his legs had lost all feeling: "I have seen my father."

"Are you here to see your mother? Why don't you go in?" Zhao Shu looked at Yan Xiaoqi's face that was very similar to Aunt Song's, and then suddenly realized that the little girl who used to like to laugh on his lap have grown up.

Yan Xiaoqi was already shivering from the cold, she quickly calculated the pros and cons in her heart, blinked her eyes and said awkwardly: "I'm waiting for my mother to pass it on."

Zhao Shu nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, knowing the etiquette and keeping the etiquette, not bad.

"Don't wait, let's go in with Weifu." Zhao Shu took two steps forward, but he didn't hear the footsteps following him, so he stopped and turned his head to look at Yan Xiaoqi with raised eyebrows.

The embarrassment on Yan Xiaoqi's face was even worse, she blushed and picked up the cloak, revealing a pair of feet that had been frozen to the floor.

Zhao Shu's face turned cold instantly: "Why don't you warm up?"

After saying this, he glanced at the brazier with only a little charcoal ashes on it, and the coldness on his face became even worse. He glanced at the maidservants behind Yan Xiaoqi: "Why don't you know how to add charcoal to your lady?"

Lu Ping and Xiang Ling knelt on the ground with a plop, Xiang Ling opened her mouth to explain, but Lu Ping pulled the hem of her clothes behind her, and they bent down on the ground, and no one said much.

Zhao Shu never intervened in the disputes in the backyard. In his eyes, the Xu family has always been very measured, but today's incident has obviously exceeded his previous cognition.

Some things are like this, covered with red cloth, no one knows what's inside, but once you lift a corner, maybe what you see is never what you imagined.
