Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 23

No Yijia brought Mrs. Ran to make a fuss, and Mrs. Song's life was quite relaxed these days. It happened to be spring again, and today she couldn't be bothered, so she accompanied Zhou Yiwan to swing in the backyard of Zhenyu Building.

As soon as Yijia arrived, she heard the laughter of the mother and daughter, one gentle and the other charming. Looking from a distance, the mother and daughter both put on spring shirts, with smiles on their faces.She couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, this is like a home, and her father was very happy when he came home after a busy day and saw such a scene.

In the previous life, her father passed away early, and now she has this opportunity, Yijia just wants to let her father live comfortably.Thinking about the self in the past, always facing Ran's, helping to suppress Xiao Song overtly and secretly, I just feel that that stupid self is really sorry for his father.My father loves me and favors me everywhere, but how can my father live comfortably if I am so noisy.

Zhou Yiwan's sharp eyes saw Yijia first, she sat on the swing and shouted happily: "Second sister is here, are you coming to play on the swing too? Come quickly, I'll let you play for a while!" tone.

Yijia laughed and walked over quickly.

First met Ann for Xiao Song, and then talked to Zhou Yiwan: "I said, why didn't you go to my place today? It's because my aunt accompanied me on the swing, so I forgot about my parrot."

Zhou Yiwan likes the two parrots given by her father. After her birthday, Yijia wanted to give her one. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yiwan, who was only five years old, refused to take it. She said that she would be sad if the two parrots were separated, and she would see the sky. Run to Bishuiju, care about playing with two parrots here.

Now that the parrot has been trained by her for a long time, she will call her Miss San when she sees her.

Zhou Yiwan hurriedly said: "That's not it! It was because I fed too much food yesterday, and Sister Bailu said that I can't feed any more this morning, or I might be stuffed to death. But when I saw them, I couldn't help wanting to eat them." Feed, I have no choice but to bear it and not pass today."

Annoyance and regret filled his small face, "It would be great if the parrot's belly was as big as Yuxiang's. No matter how much you feed it, you won't be able to support it."

Xiao Song and Yijia couldn't help laughing, but Yuxiang, who was waiting to serve, was sold out by the master, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her face.

After ordering someone to watch her daughter play for a while, Xiao Song and Yi Jia went back to the house together.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Song asked.

Yijia nodded, and asked about Liang Mingzhi's birthday, what kind of gifts he needed to prepare, and whether he needed to go to the Anping Marquis Mansion.

She already knew from Qiushuang that on Liang Mingzhi's birthday in previous years, her niece was still very filial.It’s not that I’ve ever sent anything special, it’s said that when I was young, I gave food, and it was all prepared by the chef and sent in her name; when I was a little older, I sent rice paper and folding fans, and these were mostly Zhou Chengyan’s behalf. She used the things she prepared as favors; she only learned some needlework last year, and she said she embroidered a purse for him.

When she heard that, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, saying that they were inferior in seniority, but the age difference between the two was only nine years old, and her father was really relieved.

Xiao Song said: "You don't need to go to Anping Hou's Mansion, Mr. Liang is a bit weird, and it's not convenient for the Hou's Mansion to be run by Mrs. Side. In previous years, we would either have a table outside in Dexing Building, Either it came to our house." After thinking for a while, she made an idea for Yi Jia, "As for what to give, a figure like Uncle Liang naturally has everything, if you have spare time, make her a pair of shoes Show filial piety. He doesn't have a mother above him, and his younger sister Liang Mingyue doesn't like needlework even more than you, so no one would do it for him on weekdays."

There are a lot of maids and wives in the Hou Mansion, so I, an outsider, is needed to do it.

Yijia couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Auntie, I'm already twelve."

Xiao Song didn't hear her voice at all, and she said: "Yes, I wanted to teach you needlework two years earlier, but your father loves you and is reluctant. If you learn early, you can do it last year. .”

Yijia had no choice but to remind: "I'm already twelve years old, didn't you say that you are showing me people, how can I still make shoes for foreign men..."

Xiao Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You girl, the ghost's brain is not on the right track! Where did you come from, you Liang Shishu and your father had a fateful friendship, it was your uncle What's the difference between uncle, could it be that your elder uncle passed away, and it's not okay to ask you, a junior, to give you a pair of shoes? Why are there so many scruples?"

Yijia thought, Liang Mingzhi is not his father's brother after all, how can he be compared with his uncle.

But Xiao Song said again: "You girl, you see each other all day long, and don't keep talking about family matters. Even if you don't feel ashamed, you should be on guard against talking at home and showing your mouth when you are used to it. If you call others I heard that, but I still don't know how to laugh at you."

She couldn't help laughing and looked at Yijia, even her eyes were filled with the meaning that her daughter had grown up and couldn't keep it anymore.

Yijia sighed, and said: "The day after tomorrow will be Liang Shishu's birthday, and it's too late for me to make it now. I'd better talk to my aunt and father to see if there is something suitable, and prepare a copy for me."

When Xiao Song saw her like this, she didn't say anything more, she thought for a while and said: "Your father seems to say that someone else's painting is new, and when he comes back from the office tonight, I will ask for you."

Yijia complied naturally.

In fact, she didn't care about what to give Liang Mingzhi, as long as it wasn't made by herself, and the other things were found by her father, so it didn't seem to be a big problem.

But she felt that she had to talk to her father sideways, no matter whether Liang Mingzhi regarded her as a niece or not, anyway, she didn't want to be so "discreet" with him anymore.

Mother Li came trotting all the way from the outside, and when she saw Yijia, she smiled and said, "It's just right that the second young lady is here, so it saves my wife from making another trip. Just now, Miss Liang from the Anping Hou's Mansion asked someone to send a post. It’s time to go to the Hou’s mansion.”

The post said that she was invited to visit the garden.

The day after tomorrow is Liang Mingzhi's birthday, Liang Mingyue didn't celebrate his brother's birthday properly, why did he still think about inviting people over to play?
But Xiao Song stood up happily, and said, "Oh, I'm afraid Mr. Liang has really figured it out this time. I think he invited some young girls to take a look at Miss Liang's invitation. It's what you want." Then he told Yijia, "Miss Liang has always played well with you, and Uncle Liang has always loved you, so this time you have to serve as a staff officer for Miss Liang and help look at those girls. Is it Anping after all? Mrs. Hou left early, and Master Hou has been ill all along, so it's not easy for him."

Yijia was noncommittal about Xiao Song's idea, but Zhou Chengyan came back from the Yamen at night, and after hearing it, he had an idea with Xiao Song, and specifically told Yijia to do this well.

Zhou Yihan also received Liang Mingyue's post, and when the old lady Zhou found out, she called her two granddaughters to the upper room, and told them to take a carriage there and get along well.

She was thinking about the conflict between the two last time, and she just took this opportunity to ask the two children to reconcile.After all, they are her own sisters, so how can she get revenge because of a small conflict? She still remembers the last time when the second granddaughter came to apologize, but the eldest granddaughter didn't even open the door. After Yijia left, she told Zhou Yihan not to Play petty temper again.

When it came to Liang Mingzhi's birthday, it was Zhou Chengyan who helped Yijia find a calligraphy and painting from the former dynasty and asked her to take it with her.

It was a carriage from Dongfu, Yijia took Bailu into the carriage, and arrived at Xifu to wait for Zhou Yihan.

It didn't take long for Zhou Yihan to bring the maid Wenmei over. As soon as Zhou Yihan got into the carriage, she snorted heavily at Yijia, and then turned her head to look aside.Wenmei invited An, and sat down under Zhou Yihan obediently, not daring to speak.

Seeing Zhou Yihan's annoyed appearance, Yijia thought to herself, after all, someone has not changed.The eldest aunt, grandmother, and the eldest sister and her maid, Wenmei, all still have the same temperament as in the previous life.

Zhou Yihan didn't speak, so she didn't make a sound.

The carriage went all the way to Anping Hou's Mansion, Zhou Yihan endured it for a while, but still couldn't help but secretly glanced at Yijia.Yijia wore a white embroidered red plum beige, a plain and pure white skirt, gold hairpins embellished with rubies on her head, and ruby ​​earrings in the shape of red lanterns by her ears. She was almost radiant and eye-catching I am so angry.

Yijia specially wore the jewelry given by Liang Mingyue. If he wants to understand Liang Mingzhi, the first step is to establish a good relationship with the people around him.She wore the jewelry given by Liang Mingyue today, Liang Mingyue would only be happy to see her so solemn when she arrived at the Hou Mansion.

Zhou Yihan looked at the half-worn water-blue spring shirt on her body, and thought that today, for the sake of ambition, she refused to wear the jewelry she took from Yijia, so she just asked Wenmei to pick up a few pieces of her old jewelry and put them on. Very stuffy.Although he is not bad in appearance, but the clothes and jewelry are not outstanding, I am afraid that when he arrives at the Hou Mansion, Liang Mingxuan will only see Zhou Yijia and not himself.

I couldn't help but choked: "Second sister is here as a guest. Dressed like this, those who don't know think you are going to a beauty pageant. Isn't this intentional to steal the limelight from the girl from the Liang family? Didn't I teach you how to be a guest? That's right, Second Aunt was born in a businessman, how could she know this!"

After speaking, he deliberately giggled twice.

Yijia doesn't think there's anything wrong with dressing up today, it's clearly Zhou Yihan's deliberate provocation.

Seeing Zhou Yihan and Wenmei, the master and servant staring at him, Yijia smiled sinisterly, and said with a chill in her voice, "Sister, did the slap that day hurt enough?" Looking at her knees, he paused and continued: "It's still not cool enough in the ancestral hall, does the hall sister want to kneel again?"

The eldest sister is willful and arrogant, if you accompany her to fight lip service, I am afraid that you may not be an opponent.

What Yijia wanted was to make her afraid of herself.

Zhou Yihan's complexion really changed, that day Yijia's slap not only hurt, but also made her lose face.As for the ancestral hall for the next two hours, although her mother helped her kneel down for an hour, she was really afraid of the coldness in the ancestral hall.

She was very angry, but she could only admit cowardice.

But my mother said that it is very important to be a guest at the Marquis of Anping's Mansion today. She can't have any trouble with Yijia in the carriage. At that time, not only Zhou Yijia will be ashamed, but she will not be able to escape.Moreover, if she really got into a fight with Zhou Yijia in the carriage and turned around in a mess, how could she go to see Liang Mingxuan.

He left a sentence resentfully, "Just wait and see!"
