Chapter 420 Change
The people who came to pick her up, in addition to mother and son Zeng and Zhuo, were also two cousins of the Zeng family, Liao Fangyi and Xia Zilan.
She was not surprised that Xia Zilan would come. She was restless and would join in wherever there was excitement. She was also careless. Whatever she did depended on her mood.
But Xia Ziying is different. Xia Ziying is very scheming. No matter what she does, everything is based on profit. She is a person who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. When she comes to pick her up, she has to think a little more.
In the past, Xia Ziying and Xu had plotted against her several times, but she had found out, causing the mother and daughter to lose their reputation, and their status in Xia Shiming's heart also plummeted. Speaking of this, the relationship between their mother and daughter and her had dropped to the freezing point. It's already incompatible with fire and water.
"Sister Chuyu."
Xia Zihan had just saluted Mrs. Zhuo, but before she could say a word to Mrs. Zhuo, Liao Fangyi couldn't wait to rush over and gave her a big hug, "Sister Chu Yu, as soon as you leave, you will... I’m so young, I miss you so much.”
"You're already old enough, why are you so heartless?" Xia Zihan teased with a smile, his fingers reaching out to rub her cheeks out of habit.
Liao Fangyi is one year younger than Xia Zihan. She just got her haircut this year and has already given her haircut gift. Xia Zihan also wrote a letter to Nuanyu to give her a big gift.
In fact, she wanted to prepare a gift for Liao Fangyi herself, but there was no good shop in Shuimu City, let alone gifts. Even if she wanted to prepare a good gift, there was no place to buy it.
He traced a few patterns and asked Nuan Yu to have the master of Cuiyuxuan give Liao Fangyi a face according to the pattern.
Liao Fangyi was overjoyed when she received it.
It also made it possible for the two people who had been separated for nearly a year to meet each other. There was no trace of unfamiliarity at all and they were even closer than before.
Liao Fangyi pouted her lips, stamped her feet and said, "I am a big girl now, you are not allowed to rub my face."
"Hey, Sister Fang, we've just held the hairpin ceremony, and I'm so worried about being a big girl. You don't feel ashamed." Xia Zilan walked over and muttered with a joking look on her face.
Liao Fangyi, like Chu Yu, didn't like the other girls in the Xia family very much. She was straight-tempered and unyielding, so she immediately snorted back, "You're a yellow-haired girl who doesn't even have full hair, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? ”
Xia Zilan's pretty face was livid with anger. She was about to rush up to argue with Liao Fangyi when she was stopped by Xia Ziying, "Fourth sister, today is the big day for the second sister to return to Beijing. Don't do anything nonsense."
Xia Zilan didn't like Xia Ziying's pretentiousness, but what she said made sense, and there was no need to make her second sister dislike her just for the sake of anger.
Xia Zilan endured it and glanced timidly at Mrs. Zeng, who had a sullen face. She didn't want to continue arguing with Liao Fangyi.
Liao Fangyi made a face at her with a proud look on her face.
Xia Zilan snorted coldly and looked away.
Xia Ziying walked up to Xia Zihan with a smile on her face and said with a low profile, "Second sister, my younger sister used to be ignorant and always made second sister unhappy. Today in front of everyone, I Apologize to the second sister.”
He bowed respectfully and said with wet eyes, "I heard that Shuimu City was very windy and sandy. My mother and I were worried at home. I don't know if my second sister's skin will change after living here for nearly a year." Well, looking at it now, my mother and I’s worries were unnecessary. My second sister’s skin is even more delicate than white jade.”
In front of everyone, he praised Xia Zihan for his good skin, saying that this person has made great progress.
In the past, she never praised others. She would only be jealous of others, jealous of others, and then secretly suppress them. Now, she has grown a few years older and has grown a lot. Well, not bad.
And this outfit, a bright red and gold-embellished crab-claw chrysanthemum skirt, is extremely flamboyant. Combined with her extraordinarily charming cheeks, it is very eye-catching and cannot be ignored. It also has a bit of the arrogant look she had in her previous life.
"Thank you, third sister, I'm worried." Xia Zihan said with a faint smile, then changed his gaze and greeted his cousin from the Zeng family. Then, without any delay, a group of people got on the carriage and rushed to Chu's house.
The Chu family had already prepared several tables and invited some of their close female relatives to come over for dinner. The three ladies of the Dou family came, as did the married Dou, Da Dou, and Dou Si. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liao, Even Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xia were there.
When Xia Zihan came back, everyone from the Dou family rushed forward, especially the three sisters of the Dou family. They had not seen Xia Zihan for a long time. Now that they saw Xia Zihan, they could not control their excitement. Especially Dou Si.
Dou Si's face turned red with excitement. He grabbed Xia Zihan's hand and kept asking, "Chu Yu, how is Shuimu City? Is it good? Is it prosperous? Are there any delicious special snacks? Listen? They say that people over there all eat wowotou..."
Xia Zihan asked a lot of questions and didn't know where to answer them.
Dou Da held out his seven-month-old belly and gave Dou Si a tug, "You are already a grown-up, so you should be more restrained. How can you act and speak so recklessly?" Then his voice dropped a little lower, "There is a problem. Wait a minute, let’s go to the garden to ask. Now Chu Yu still has to say hello to her elders.”
Xia Zihan is already the princess, and she has been favored by the emperor and the second prince's family. This status is higher than that of ordinary ladies, but the ladies of the Dou family and the Liao family all treat Xia Zihan as their own. Treating her like a junior, Xia Zihan didn't put on any pretense of being a princess, just like a junior, she first greeted the ladies.
When it was the turn of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu, Xia Zihan smiled and wanted to salute them without changing her expression. Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped her, "Now that you are the princess, my eldest aunt will not dare to accept your courtesy."
This time, in front of a group of women with higher status than themselves, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu did not dare to make excuses. Even Mrs. Xu smiled in an amiable manner and said, "Yu Niang is the princess and the emperor's relative." The seal represents the emperor's face. We will not do this in the future, so as not to disturb the etiquette. ”
Seeing that Xia Zihan's expression was not moved at all, she paused, a hint of grievance rose in Xu's eyes, and said, "Actually, it's us who should salute."
Having said that, I really want to be blessed.
How could Xia Zihan ask her to bend her waist? She glanced at Chu Cong, who hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Mrs. Xu.
I can't bend this waist anymore.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "What did my mother say? I was born to my parents. No matter how high my status is, I can still be higher than my parents."
It's the parents, not the stepmother.
This is obviously telling others that she is Xia Zihan's stepmother, not his biological mother.
Xu's face immediately looked a little embarrassed.
Xia Zihan said again, "How can I ask my mother to salute? My mother is an elder. Mother, do you think this is true?"
