Chapter 24 Birthday (Part 2)
Yuxi originally thought that all the girls in the Zhou family's boudoir would come, but she didn't expect that only Zhou Shiya came.
As soon as Zhou Shiya saw Yuxi, she pulled her and thought to herself: "Why are you growing taller again? What do you eat every day?" Obviously they were about the same height back then, and their bodies were similar, but now Yuxi is taller than her. Half a head taller and slimmer than her.
Yuxi said: "I'm no better than you, I can eat everything." Zhou Shiya is very picky eater and doesn't eat many things.
Zhou Shiya said with a bitter face, "It's not like you don't know that I will gain weight from whatever I eat." She has a body that tends to get fat, and she belongs to the kind of person who gets fat even after drinking water. It’s okay if you don’t say it, but it’s a bitter tear if you say it!
Yuxi smiled and said: "Then you just pay attention to it."
Zhou Shiya pinched Yuxi's face, and said: "And this skin, it's so tender!" This skin is as tender as white tofu, it makes people want to pinch it twice, to see if the water can come out Come. Facts have proved that the hand feels very good, and I want to pinch it twice more.
Yuxi pushed Zhou Shiya's hand away and laughed: "I'm far behind my sister."
Yuchen who was standing on the side was a little helpless, no matter when, Yuxi always liked to say that he was not as good as her. This has almost become Yuxi's mantra.
Zhou Shiya turned her head to look at Yuchen, the corners of her mouth twitched, Yuchen's skin was white and rosy, her muscles were smooth and tender, and her whole body also had a luster like suet jade. Zhou Shiya was really envious and jealous, so she quickly asked, "Tell me, how did you raise it. I want to have such a good skin too!"
Yuxi and Yuchen have a good relationship, so they know more than others. As long as Yuchen's skin is touched by someone, even if there is no force, it will leave red marks. This shows how good the skin is, and the rumored ice skin and jade skin are nothing more than that, but she can't say these things to the outside world. Because Yuchen's skin was not born with such good skin, but it was obtained by soaking in medicinal baths.
Yuchen talked about all the things he ate on weekdays, and omitted the part about eating medicinal food and taking medicinal baths. But even so, Zhou Shishan and Duan Xinrong also listened carefully. Beauty is a woman's nature.
The servant girl came over and said, "Girl, the girl from the Duan family is here."
When Zhou Shiya saw Duan Xinrong, she smiled and said: "You are finally here, let us wait for a while!"
Knowing that he has a good relationship, Yuchen probably had a lot of whispers to say, so he found an excuse and went back to Tingyun Pavilion. When Yuchen walked to the door, he heard a burst of cheerful laughter in the room, and a faint sense of loss rose in his heart. She also wanted to make a few bosom friends like Yuxi, but unfortunately she couldn't make them all the time. As for the reason, Yuchen actually knew it too.
Sometimes being too good is also a burden.
Zhou Shiya whispered: "Yuxi, don't be angry, I deliberately didn't let my two concubines come."
Yuxi smiled and asked: "What about Cousin Shishan and the others? Why didn't they come?"
Zhou Shiya said with a smile: "I said I was not feeling well, but I guess I knew that you didn't invite anyone for your birthday, so I found an excuse not to come. It's better not to come. With them here, we can't talk about it. "
Yuxi doesn't care, it's better not to come, she doesn't want to entertain yet!
Duan Xinrong said: "Yuxi, you really showed off at the last two banquets. Even my mother asked me if your chess skills are really good?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's not like that, it's all blown out."
Zhou Shiya urged: "How about, next time you play a game, I will also see how good Yuxi's chess skills are."
Duan Xinrong hurriedly asked Yuxi to take out the chessboard, and said: "Don't leave room for it, show your true level, I have to see how far I am from you?" She also played chess with Yuxi before, but it was all for fun interest.
Yu Xi really didn't leave much room for Duan Xinrong to lose in less than a quarter of an hour. Duan Xinrong picked up the remaining chess pieces on the board and put them back into the chess box, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are so good at chess, you can hide it deep enough."
Zhou Shiya reminded: "Yuxi, November is the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Pingqing Hou Mansion. By then, don't steal the limelight from the master's house like you did in the Taining Hou Mansion and the Princess Mansion." But it will offend a large number of people.
Yuxi said helplessly: "What is the limelight? It's not as exaggerated as you said. Besides, it's not like you don't know how good my painting skills are. Those outside who deliberately exaggerate are not well-intentioned." She will not praise a few words because of others It floated up.
Zhou Shiya also knew that Yuxi was not a showy person, and said: "When you go to the Pingqinghou Mansion as a guest, you have to keep a low profile. The girls in the Jiang family are not vegetarians." The progeny and the concubine all have their own characteristics. It can only be said that Mrs. Jiang will train her own girl.
Yuxi laughed and said: "On such an occasion, they won't drag me to compete in chess." There are also four girls in the Pingqing Hou Mansion. They came out, but the two concubines Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ping were inferior in talent but outstanding in appearance, and they looked exactly alike, attracting everyone's attention as soon as they came out. Of course, it doesn't mean that Jiang Yi and Jiang Xin are not good-looking, but they are slightly inferior to the twins.
Zhou Shiya laughed and said: "Look at you, you don't take it to heart at all, and it makes me worry."
Yuxi smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about. I can't worry about many things. Besides, I don't care about those false names. I know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I won't need them when I get married in the future. It’s just a way 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 said in a low voice: "The Jiang family invited the official media to come to our family to propose marriage."
Zhou Shiya asked: "Who are you proposing marriage to?"
Yuxi felt that Zhou Shiya was always being silly, and seeing Duan Xinrong's face flushed, she knew that Duan Xinrong must be the one who proposed marriage.
Zhou Shiya quickly came to her senses and asked, "Are you proposing marriage for the second young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Jing? I have met Jiang Jing. He looks good, and he seems to have good talents. He is already a scholar."
Yu Xi frowned. She is not familiar with the Jiang family, but the two families are related by marriage, and they will go to the wedding party for such a big event as marriage. So she remembered very clearly that Jiang Jing married Lin Furong, the niece of Mrs. Ping Qinghou's family. As for why Yuxi has suffered the present situation, she is not quite clear.
Seeing that Yu Xi's expression was wrong, Zhou Shiya hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the second young master of the Jiang family?"
Yuxi didn't say a word, she weighed in her heart how to mess up this matter.
Duan Xinrong was a little anxious, and took Yuxi's hand and asked, "Yuxi, if you know something, you can't hide it from me!" She had never met Jiang Jing, but her mother said that Jiang Jing was good in both appearance, talent, and sex. . Her mother has always had a good eye, and she is still very convinced. But no matter how good her mother's vision is, there are times when she falls short.
Zhou Shiya began to think that Yuxi was deliberately scaring Duan Xinrong, but Yuxi still didn't speak, and her heart also raised her heart: "Yuxi, there is nothing wrong with it, right? If you know something, you must tell Xinrong! This marriage It’s a big deal, one mistake is a lifetime!”
Yu Xi 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 candidate is Lin Furong, the niece of her natal family."
Duan Xinrong's expression was uncertain.
Zhou Shiya was very surprised: "I can't? If Mrs. Jiang likes her niece, why would the Jiang family go to the Duan family to propose marriage?" After speaking, she realized that she was dumbfounded. It is not Mrs. Jiang who is in charge of the Jiang family, but Jiang. The old lady: "Yuxi, do you mean that it was Old Madam Jiang's idea that the Duan family proposed marriage?"
Yu Xichi shook her head and said: "I don't know, but as far as I know, Mrs. Jiang likes Lin Furong very much, and she often takes her to the Hou's Mansion for a short period of time." The one who is really in power is Mrs. Chiang. The difference is that the Qiu family has no scheming or ambitions, and is really filial to Mrs. Han, so mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well. But Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Pingqing Hou, is different. Lin has always wanted to be the real head of the family, not a housekeeper who only does housework, so these years, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting wits and courage. Because of the pressure of filial piety, and Mrs. Jiang is also a person with wrists, the Lin family has been at a disadvantage these years.
Zhou Shiya responded quickly: "Doesn't that mean that Jiang Jing and Lin Furong are cousins of their own sweethearts?" Childhood sweethearts are the most annoying.
Yuxi added a sentence: "I don't know what Jiang Jing thinks of Lin Furong, but I know that Jiang Yi and Jiang Xin like Lin Furong very much." up.
Duan Xinrong looked at Yuxi and asked, "Yuxi, is what you said true?"
Yuxi laughed and said: "If you don't believe it, just ask your mother to send someone to inquire about it." Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang's Mrs. Lin have been fighting, but the door of the Pingqinghou Mansion is very strict. It is very difficult to inquire about the news of the Hou Mansion. But this difficulty is only relative, the Duan family is not a small family, as long as they really make up their minds, let alone Ping Qinghou's Mansion, they can get news about the palace.
Zhou Shiya hurriedly said: "If this is the case, this marriage cannot be concluded." If what Yuxi said is true, Mrs. Jiang has appointed Lin Furong as her daughter-in-law by default! If the Duan family agreed to this marriage, it would be tantamount to offending Mrs. Jiang, and offending her mother-in-law without getting through the door.
Duan Xinrong is not stupid, how can he not understand the truth of this: "Fortunately, I know 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 freely. Yuxi said it, it must be true. Fortunately, there is no engagement, and it is too late to regret it now. The First Daughter Rebirth (..)( The First Daughter Rebirth )
