Chapter 93: Birth (2)
Yuxi originally thought that the girls in the Zhou family's boudoir would come, but she didn't expect that only Zhou Shiya would come.
As soon as Zhou Shiya saw Yuxi, she pulled her to thought: "Why have you grown taller again? What do you eat every day?" Obviously, the two of them were about the same height back then, and their figures were about the same, but now Yuxi is half a head taller than her, and she is slimmer than her.
Yuxi said: "I'm not as good as you, I can eat everything." "Zhou Shiya is a very picky eater and doesn't eat a lot of things.
Zhou Shiya made a bitter face and said, "You don't know, whatever I eat will grow meat." "She is fat-prone and belongs to the kind of person who will gain weight when she drinks water. It's okay not to say it, but it's a handful of bitter tears when you say it!
Yuxi smiled: "Then you should pay attention to it." ”
Zhou Shiya pinched Yuxi's face and said, "And this skin, it's really delicate!" This skin is as tender as white tofu, and it makes people want to pinch it twice to see if they can pinch out the water. It turned out to feel very good, and I wanted to pinch it twice.
Yuxi pushed Zhou Shiya's hand away and laughed: "It's far worse than me with the third sister." ”
Yuchen, who was standing on the side, was a little helpless, no matter when, Yuxi always liked to say that she was inferior to her. This is almost becoming Yuxi's mantra.
Zhou Shiya turned her head to look at Yuchen, the corners of her mouth twitched, Yuchen's skin was white and red, her muscles were smooth and tender, and the whole person also showed a luster like mutton fat jade. Zhou Shiya was really envious, jealous and hateful, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, how did you raise it." I want to have such good skin!"
Yuxi has a good relationship with Yuchen, so he knows more than others. As long as Yuchen's skin is touched, even if it is not forced, it will leave red marks, which shows how good that skin is, and the rumored ice muscle jade skin is nothing more than that, but she can't say these words to the outside world. Because Yuchen's skin is not born, but soaked in a medicinal bath.
Yuchen talked about everything he ate on weekdays, and hid the part about taking medicinal food and taking medicinal baths. However, Rao is like this, and Zhou Shishan and Duan Xinrong also listened very carefully. It is a woman's nature to love beauty.
The maid came over and said, "Girl, the girl of the Duan family is here." ”
When Zhou Shiya saw Duan Xinrong, she said with a smile: "You're finally here, let's wait for a while!"
Yuchen knew that the three of them had a good relationship, and it was estimated that he had a lot of whispers to say, so he found an excuse to go back to Tingyun Pavilion. Walking to the door, Yuchen heard a burst of cheerful laughter in the room, and a faint sense of loss rose in his heart. She also wants to make a few or two bosom friends like Yuxi, but unfortunately she can't make them. As for the reason, Yuchen actually knows it. Sometimes being too good is also a burden.
Zhou Shiya whispered: "Yuxi, don't be angry, I deliberately didn't let my two sisters come." ”
Yuxi smiled and asked, "What about Cousin Shishan, why didn't they come?"
Zhou Shiya said with a smile: "I said that I was not feeling well, but I think I guess I knew that you didn't invite anyone on your birthday, so I found an excuse not to come." It's better if you don't come, with them here, we can't talk about it. ”
Yuxi doesn't care, it's better if she doesn't come, she doesn't want to entertain yet!
Duan Xinrong said: "Yuxi, you were in the limelight at the first two banquets. Even my mother asked me, "Are you really good at chess?"
Yuxi smiled: "It's not just like that, it's all blown out." ”
Zhou Shiya instigated: "Otherwise, in the next game, I will also see how high Yuxi's chess skills are." ”
Duan Xinrong hurriedly asked Yuxi to take out the chessboard, and said, "Don't leave room for your true level, I have to see how big the gap is between me and you?"
Yuxi really didn't leave any room, and as a result, Duan Xinrong lost in less than a quarter of an hour. Duan Xinrong picked up the remaining chess pieces on the chessboard and put them in the chess box, and said with a smile: "You girl, your chess skills are so good, you really hide them deep enough." ”
Zhou Shiya reminded: "Yuxi, November is the sixtieth birthday of the old lady of the Pingqing Marquis Mansion. At that time, you don't want to steal the limelight of the main family like in the Taining Marquis Mansion and the Princess Mansion. "When the time comes, I'll offend a lot of people.
Yuxi said helplessly: "What is in the limelight, how can it be as exaggerated as you say." Besides, you don't know how I paint, and those who deliberately exaggerate outside are not well-intentioned. "She doesn't float up just because others praise her.
Zhou Shiya also knew that Yuxi was not a person who was easy to show, and said: "When you go to the Pingqing Marquis Mansion as a guest, you have to keep a low profile, and the girls of the Jiang family are not vegetarians. "Several girls in the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, regardless of whether they are born or out, all have their own characteristics. It can only be said that Mrs. Jiang is too good at training her own girls.
Yuxi smiled and said, "On that occasion, they won't pull me to try my chess skills." "There are also four girls in the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, the eldest daughter Jiang Yi is good at piano and painting, and the second daughter Jiang Xin is not very old, but the two twin daughters Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ping are less talented but have outstanding appearances, and they look exactly the same, so they attract everyone's attention as soon as they come out. Of course, it's not that Jiang Yi and Jiang Xin are not good-looking, but they are slightly inferior to twins.
Zhou Shiya said with a smile: "Look, you didn't pay attention to it at all, and I was still worried." ”
Yuxi smiled: "What is there to worry about, there are many things to worry about." Besides, I don't care about those false names. What piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in, and they won't be needed after getting married in the future, but they are all pastimes to pass the time. ”
Zhou Shiya talked to Yuxi for a long time, but Duan Xinrong didn't agree. This made Yuxi feel very abnormal and asked, "What's wrong with you, you haven't spoken for a long time?"
Duan Xinrong whispered: "The Jiang family invited the official media to our house to propose marriage. ”
Zhou Shiya asked, "Who do you propose to whom?"
Yuxi felt that Zhou Shiya was often stupid, and when she looked at Duan Xinrong's little face flushed, she knew that the object of the proposal must be Duan Xinrong.
Zhou Shiya quickly reacted and asked, "Is it for Jiang Jing, the second young master of the Jiang family, to propose marriage?" I have seen Jiang Jing, he looks good, it seems that he is also good at learning, and he is already a talent. ”
Yuxi frowned. She is not familiar with the Jiang family, but the two families are in-laws, and they will go to drink wedding wine for such a big event as marriage. So she remembered very well that Jiang Jing married Lin Furong, the maiden niece of Mrs. Pingqinghou. As for why there is this Yuxi, it is not very clear.
Zhou Shiya looked at Yuxi's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Is there a problem with the second young master of the Jiang family?"
Yuxi didn't say anything, she weighed how to stir up this matter in her heart.
Duan Xinrong was a little anxious, took Yuxi's hand and asked, "Yuxi, if you know something, you can't hide it from me!" She hadn't seen Jiang Jing, but her mother said that Jiang Jing was good in terms of appearance, talent, and character. Her mother's vision has always been very good, and she is still very convinced. But no matter how good her mother's vision is, there are times when she is not up to standard.
Zhou Shiya began to think that Yuxi was deliberately scaring Duan Xinrong, but it can be seen that Yuxi still didn't speak, and her heart also came up: "Yuxi, there won't really be anything wrong, right? If you know something, you must tell Xinrong! This marriage event, if you are not careful, it will be a lifetime!"
Yuxi weighed it in her heart for a long time and said, "I don't know why the Jiang family went to the Duan family to propose marriage, but as far as I know, Mrs. Jiang's favorite daughter-in-law is her niece Lin Furong. ”
Duan Xinrong's face was shocked.
Zhou Shiya was very surprised: "Can't it, right? If Mrs. Jiang likes her maiden niece, then how could the Jiang family go to the Duan family to propose marriage." After speaking, I found that I was stupid, and it was not Mrs. Jiang who was in charge of the Jiang family now, but Mrs. Jiang: "Yuxi, do you mean that it was Mrs. Jiang's idea to propose marriage to the Duan family?"
Yu Xichi shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but as far as I know, Mrs. Jiang likes Lin Furong very much, and often takes her to the Hou Mansion to live for a while." "The Pingqing Marquis Mansion is the same as the Guogong Mansion, and the real power in the backyard is Mrs. Jiang. The difference is that the Qiu family has no scheming or ambition, and is also really filial to Mrs. Han, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well. But the Lin family, the wife of the Marquis of Pingqing, is different, the Lin family has always wanted to be a real head of the family, rather than a housekeeper who only takes care of housework, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting wits and courage all these years. Because of the pressure of filial piety, and Mrs. Jiang is also a person with skills, the Lin family has been at a disadvantage all these years.
Zhou Shiya reacted quickly: "Doesn't that mean that Jiang Jing and Lin Furong are cousins who are pro-plum sweethearts?"
Yuxi added a sentence: "I don't know what Jiang Jing's attitude towards Lin Furong is, but I know that Jiang Yi and Jiang Xin like Lin Furong very much." "It's normal for her to know about the inner court, but it's not normal for her to know about the front yard.
Duan Xinrong looked at Yuxi and asked, "Yuxi, is what you said true?"
Yuxi laughed and said, "If you don't believe it, just let your mother send someone to inquire about it." "Old Madam Jiang and Madame Jiang Lin have been fighting, but the door of the Pingqing Hou Mansion is very strict, and it is difficult to find out the news of the Hou Mansion. However, this difficulty is only relative, and the Duan family is not a small family, as long as they really make up their minds, let alone the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, they can also find out the news of the palace.
Zhou Shiya hurriedly said: "If this is the case, this family business can't be concluded." "If what Yuxi said is true, Mrs. Jiang has appointed Lin Furong as her daughter-in-law! Asking the Duan family to agree to this family affair is tantamount to offending Mrs. Jiang, offending her mother-in-law without going through the door, don't think about having a good life in the future.
Duan Xinrong is not stupid, how can he not understand the truth in this: "Fortunately, I know it today, otherwise I don't know what to do in the future!" Duan Xinrong and Yuxi have also known each other for five years, and they know that Yuxi is not a person who talks about it. Yuxi said, that must be true. Fortunately, there is no marriage, and it is too late to regret it now.
