Chapter 421 Reissue
"Yes, yes..."
Xu, who felt extremely embarrassed, almost didn't have the courage to look at the looks from around her. In her heart, she almost hated Xia Zihan to death.
If it weren't for the Chu family, would she be able to see Xia Zihan's face?
Everyone has said that this time the Chu family father and son have made great contributions, the Chu family's title will definitely be restored. Xia Zihan, who has long been verbally assigned to the eldest son of the Chu family, will be the future eldest son and wife of An Guo Gongfu. The daughter-in-law of Yipin Gui Anguo's mansion, her status is only slightly lower than that of the second princess.
Such an identity made her envious, jealous, and at the same time fearful, frightened, and uneasy.
Thinking of all the things that hit her property in the past, she was the one responsible for every one of them. What if, after Xia Zihan becomes the heir apparent of the Chu family, and his wings become stronger, he secretly retaliates against her?
If Xia Zihan really wanted to take revenge, she might just have to talk, right?
These days, whenever Mrs. Xu thinks about this, she is so worried that she can't sleep and has trouble sleeping and eating.
No, when she learned that Xia Zihan was coming back, she asked for a good time, so she came uninvited and even took Mrs. Liu with her.
Unexpectedly, even though she was careful every step of the way, Xia Zihan still humiliated her with just a few words. He actually laughed at her as a house filler and not her biological mother.
Mrs. Xu was furious in her heart, but she didn't dare to reveal anything on her face. Seeing that Xia Zihan went to talk to Mrs. Zeng Dou and Mrs. Li, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and retreated to an inconspicuous place. sitting on the chair.
The ladies present all knew that Ms. Xu was a kind-faced and cruel stepmother, and also knew that neither Mr. Zeng nor Ms. Xia Zihan liked her, so they automatically ignored her existence and all stepped forward to please Mr. Xia Zihan and Ms. Zhuo.
Mrs. Xu saw a large group of people surrounding Xia Zihan, trying hard to please her, but she and Xia Ziying were left alone and indifferent, and her face became extremely gloomy little by little.
Zeng glanced at her, his face darkened, and he hummed twice.
Today, if it hadn't been a good day for Xia Zihan to return to Beijing, and Mrs. Xu and her daughter came to the door, Mrs. Zeng would have had someone beat them out.
Mrs. Zeng has never had a good face towards Mr. Xu, who covets her granddaughter's property.
Now, I am being ignored and still showing off.
Hum...
Just as Mrs. Zeng was about to attack, the maid came outside to report that the banquet was ready and the banquet could be held at any time.
"Let's have a feast."
Seeing that today was a festive day, Mrs. Zeng finally endured this. After she ordered the banquet, she didn't bother to see Mrs. Xu again.
After finishing the meal, Xia Zihan returned to the courtyard, planning to wash off the dust, change clothes, and then go out to accompany the guests.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, the three sisters of the Dou family followed her.
Xia Zilan and Xia Ziying also wanted to follow, but Liao Fangyi cleverly pulled them to admire the peonies blooming in the back garden.
Liao Fangyi held on to Xia Ziying, and Zeng Jing and Zeng Ning also held on to Xia Zilan, forcing the Xia sisters to follow them to the back garden.
When the three Dou sisters entered the room, Xia Zihan ordered Nuan Yu to put a cotton cushion on the chair, "Make it thicker to make it more comfortable."
Nuanyu took two mats and as soon as they were put on them, Xia Zihan helped Dou Da sit down. Dou Da smiled and said, "I'm not a fragile porcelain doll. I don't need to be so careful. I can OK.”
With the Dou sisters here, Xia Zihan couldn't leave them alone, so he sat down and dealt with Dou Si's problems patiently.
Xia Zihan answered everything truthfully.
After hearing this, Dou Si said with a disappointed look on his face, "What? It's just a gray empty city. You can still stay for more than half a year, thanks to you. If it were me, I would have run back impatiently."
"If it were you, you wouldn't go to Shuimu City." Dou Er took the opportunity to undermine her. Dou Si chuckled, "That's right, I don't have Chu Yu's good skills."
Then, Dou Da mentioned Xia Zihan’s haircut gift, “I heard from my mother that your grandmother is going to help you get a replacement one for the next few days.”
"Really, grandma hasn't told me yet." Xia Zihan's expression froze, and then he lowered his eyes, with no surprise on his face.
A trace of surprise flashed in Dou Da's eyes. Just as he was about to ask, Dou Ercha changed the topic, "Dou Si's wedding is at the end of August. Chu Yu, Dou Si wants to order a wedding dress from your Yusha Pavilion. Her embroidery skills You also know, is her embroidery? A mandarin duck can be embroidered She embroiders a sparrow, and her wedding dress will definitely make people laugh to death if word spreads about it if she is allowed to embroider it. You should treat her as a favor and ask the embroiderer in Yusha Pavilion to embroider a wedding dress for her. She just likes it. The wedding dress from Yusha Pavilion”
Then, fearing that Xia Zihan would misunderstand, he added, "Please ask for a higher price. Dou Si has money. The husband she married is said to have inherited a lot of property from his grandmother at a young age. He is a wealthy owner." , don’t be soft-hearted, just open your mouth, the lion will open his mouth, Dou Si can take it anyway.”
Dou Si puffed up his face and glared at her angrily, "Second sister, I don't cheat on girls like you. He has money, how can I still reach out to him now?"
Then he looked at Xia Zihan and said shamelessly, "I don't care, Chu Yu, you can't ask me for money, even if you give me makeup for my wedding."
Dou Da: "You are so shameless, are you so willing to reach out to someone to add makeup?"
Dou Er: "Go out, don't say you are my sister, I am embarrassed."
Dou Si was so angry that he pointed at his two sisters and said fiercely, "Each of you must give me at least three hundred taels of silver to replenish my makeup. Otherwise, hehe, when my nephew comes out, I will give him a penny." Money red envelope.”
Poof...
Several maids standing nearby couldn't help laughing.
Dou Da and Dou Er's face was red with embarrassment, and he really wanted to stuff Dou Si under the table to prevent her from further embarrassing herself.
However, Xia Zihan's depressed mood just now due to their disturbance has already recovered.
Haircut ceremony is a coming-of-age ceremony that every girl longs for.
Having a hair extension ceremony means that she has grown up and is ready to get married.
Last August, it was supposed to be the month when Xia Zihan held a wedding ceremony, but at that time, the late emperor's coffin had just been buried, and everyone in the Lu family was beheaded. Members of the Lu family were often escorted to the market entrance to behead them. The sky above the capital was filled with bloodshed. During that time, the land at Caishikou was dyed brown with blood.
At that time, who dares to hold a wedding banquet?
Not to mention the wedding banquet, I didn’t even dare to wear some festive colors.
Last August was a bloody season, so Xia Zihan missed her haircut ceremony.
Now, the national mourning has been completed for one year, and Dasheng has conquered the Tatars. Such a great joy has come. The emperor, who was overjoyed, issued an imperial edict a few days ago. In order to celebrate the diplomatic relations between Dasheng and the Tatars, the national mourning period has been advanced by one month. End of year.
It means that everyone can hold a wedding banquet.
As for Mrs. Zeng, the first thing that came to her mind was to give her precious granddaughter a hair extension gift.
Not only the Chu family, but also the families who wanted to marry their daughter-in-law were happily planning wedding banquets to go away from the gloomy atmosphere in the capital this year.
Dou Si's wedding is scheduled for the end of this month.
