Twin Brocade

Chapter 73

At this time, Mrs. Qiao was sitting in the room, and a tall girl was standing below her, holding an empty medicine bowl in her hand.Her eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to Mrs. Qiao's, revealing the unique gracefulness and delicacy of Jiangnan.

Another big maid brought tea, waited for Mrs. Qiao to rinse her mouth, and served candied fruit to suppress the bitterness.

"Ms. Hall, Sister Xuan is here." The girl smiled when she heard footsteps outside, accompanied by Qiao Tongxuan's silver-bell-like laughter.

Mrs. Qiao gave her a loving look, and said softly: "I'm not in good health, thanks to you being by the side, I'm more careful than my own daughter."

The young girl hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, big hall sister? My mother specially told me when my younger sister went to Beijing. The big hall sister has only learned from others, and she is also the matriarch of the family. She ordered me to learn by her side."

"It's Shiman's honor that the hall sister is willing to bring me by her side."

While the two were talking, sisters Qiao Shijie and Qiao Tongxuan brought a group of people in to greet them.

"Mom, are you feeling better today?"

After Mrs. Qiao married to the capital, she was quite uncomfortable with the environment, and she hurt her body during childbirth.Originally, Qiao Tongxuan still had a brother, but unfortunately, he didn't keep it. During the miscarriage, he saw that it was a formed boy.

Later, she finally became pregnant with Qiao Tongxuan again, and after giving birth with all her might, the doctor diagnosed her as postpartum anemia, making it difficult to have children.

This woman's illness should have been well taken care of, and it won't come back after a few years.But as a daughter of the Lu family, she has an arrogance in her bones, and she refuses to lose to others in everything, so her body also goes from good to bad, and gets weaker day by day.

Hearing her daughter's greeting, Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "I'm still the same, nothing wrong."

A group of people came forward to greet her, Fang Jinshu was secretly startled.

In her previous life, she didn't have much impression of this Mrs. Qiao.Qiao Wenxin is only a student supervisor at the moment, and Mrs. Qiao has no orders, so she is not eligible to enter the palace for pilgrimage.

Seeing it at this moment, in her spring-like face, there is an unconcealable morbidity.

Although it makes her look as beautiful as a Xi Shi holding her heart, it is touching.But her bony wrists, the thin flush on her cheeks, and the weakness between her words all showed that her illness was not optimistic.

Fang Jinshu frowned and thought carefully, searching for the memories of his previous life.

I vaguely remember that not long after Emperor Qinglong came to the throne, the Qiao family held a funeral, saying that a white-haired man sent a black-haired man.Come to think of it, this matter should be on Mrs. Qiao.It's just that I can't remember exactly which year it was.

"It's rare for the school to take a break. You have invited so many little sisters to come back to play. Don't hang around with me, go and play." Mrs. Qiao said: "There are so many people here, so Shiman also goes to play together."

Everyone is a little strange to this girl.

Qiao Tongxuan introduced her to everyone with a smile, and said: "This is my cousin aunt, she just came to Beijing for more than a month."

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Lu Shiman was a generation older than everyone else.It was the first time seeing her again, so she took a gift and gave it to everyone one by one.

Fang Jinshu got a fan pendant, thanked him and held it in his hand thoughtfully.

This Lu Shiman, at first glance, looks like a carefully raised daughter from a wealthy family.But at this age, she still dresses up as a girl and appears next to the seriously ill Mrs. Qiao, which has to make her think a little bit more.

Today they came to Qiao's house as guests, and it seemed that Lu Shiman had already prepared for it, and even prepared all the gifts, it was definitely not a temporary idea.

Fang Jinshu lowered his eyes, quietly watching everyone's expressions.The people here are all half-grown children around ten years old, even if they hide their thoughts, they can't escape her eyes.

However, apart from her, no one, including the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family, felt anything unusual.

It is common for a relative to stay in a big family's house temporarily, especially between cousins.If she hadn't lived a new life, she wouldn't be able to see the clues of this.

Taking a look at Qiao Tongxuan with a bright smile, Fang Jinshu secretly sighed in his heart.If it was as she expected, this pure and lively sister Xuan would not have many happy days left.

At this moment, she hoped that everything would not develop as she remembered.

Coming out of Mrs. Qiao's room, Qiao Tongxuan took the sisters to an open house in the garden.

The servant girl has already made a curtain out of this gauze curtain, and a silver bell hangs under the curtain.It not only prevents the gauze curtain from being blown by the wind, but also emits pleasant bells, which blends in with the grand autumn scenery of the garden, which is quite elegant.

Wu Wanqing likes this kind of scenery the most, and she, who seldom speaks, can't help but praise: "What a coincidence!"

Qiao Tongxuan said with a smile: "My mother ordered someone to arrange it. If you like it, I'll see if there is still this silver bell in the warehouse, and I will send it to you later."

It turned out to be Mrs. Qiao's idea, and it really was Linglong's idea.

Wu Wanqing blushed slightly, and hurriedly refused: "If you don't come here to play, how can you miss sister Xuan's good things?"

For the few of them, the silver bell and gauze curtain are not rare things, it's just a very clever idea.She really liked it, so she couldn't help admiring it.

Qiao Tongxuan has always been a generous person, and she was a little embarrassed when she heard that she wanted to give it to her.It seemed that she praised her just to beg for something.

Knowing her temperament, Fang Jinshu hurriedly spoke out to help her out, and said with a smile: "This gauze curtain is beautifully made, I think Sister Qing would like to try it out by herself. If I took Sister Xuan's silver bell, it wouldn't be considered self-made. It's gone."

Wu Wanqing nodded with a blushing face, and a bit of shame climbed onto her pretty face, making her even more stunning.Even though these sisters were used to seeing her face, they couldn't help being stunned.

Qiao Shijie and Fang Ziquan were playing chess at a square table near the railing.Qiao Shijie held on to the sunspot in his hand, but he forgot to put it down for a long time, and he didn't turn his eyes.

Fang Ziquan turned his head and looked back, he understood, coughed and said, "Brother Shijie, it's your turn."

Qiao Shijie was just like waking up from a dream, and made a mess.

Fang Ziquan looked amused, put down a white piece slowly, and said: "Let me go." Then, he picked up the black stones trapped in the lower right corner of the chessboard one by one.

Qiao Shijie took a closer look, regretting again and again.

"Brother Shijie, she's only seven years old." Fang Ziquan leaned forward, getting closer to Qiao Shijie, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

His mind was peeped through, Qiao Shijie pursed his lips, and said angrily: "Why don't I know!"

Wu Wanqing's age is one year younger than his own sister Qiao Tongxuan.But he doesn't know what's wrong with him, every time he sees Wu Wanqing, he can't help but think about it.

He knew it shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't control himself.

Fang Ziquan sat up straight and said, "Some things cannot be rushed. Just like this chess game, the more anxious you are, the more you will be defeated."
