Chapter 44: Head and Face

The old lady said: "You little ones, go and greet your sister."

When everyone in the room heard this, their expressions changed and they were thoughtful.

The Hou Mansion sent several people to pick him up, but Xu Xi always refused and was unwilling to go back to the Hou Mansion. Everyone wanted to watch a good show. They felt that even if Xu Xi was finally taken back to the Hou Mansion, he would still have to accept it.

People's disdain will make life difficult in the future.

But looking at the situation now, it doesn’t look like it.

Asking someone to greet him is doing Xu Xi a favor.

Zhao Ruyu frowned.

This situation is more and more different from the previous life. In the previous life, the old lady did not give Xu Xi such a big face. Not to mention greeting, no one was gathered. Several young masters were not there, only Wei, Su and a few of them.

The little girl was here and left after seeing her casually.

Xu Xi's introduction to Qiao not only did not offend the old lady, but actually took her seriously.

She lowered her eyelids and twisted her handkerchief.

Seeing that she was motionless, Zhao Rurui quickly pulled her up and walked out of the queue, saying "yes" together with everyone else.

"Grandma, although I am older than my sister, I am extremely happy to have another sister. I also went with my sisters to welcome her," Zhao Rurui said.

"That's right, the fourth sister told me what's in my heart." Zhao Ruxin from the eldest room quickly agreed.

Among the children in the room, except for Zhao Ruxin and Zhao Rurui, as well as the eldest young master Zhao Jingli, who is half an hour older than Xu Xi, the others are either the same age as Xu Xi or younger than her. Although the old lady meant that there should be order between elder and younger.

, I just called my younger brother and younger sister to greet me, but Zhao Ruxin and Zhao Rurui were both concubines, so they didn’t dare to take Qiao, so they just sat here without moving. Didn’t you see the eldest young master Zhao Jingli, and the second young master Zhao Jing’an also stood up?

Zhao Jing immediately became only half an hour older than Xu Xi, and Zhao Jing'an was half an hour older than Xu Xi, but they were both older brothers.

"Let's go, let's go." The old lady was naturally happy that the brothers and sisters were cultivating a relationship, and waved with a smile.

So the nine children of the Suiping Hou Mansion all went out to greet Xu Xi.

After leaving the hall, Zhao Rurui, who deliberately slowed down her pace, whispered to Zhao Ruyu: "Sister, it's okay. Didn't the old lady keep you for dinner last night? The old lady asked us to greet her, but it's just that there is an order for the elders and the younger ones.

We are just brothers and sisters. Don't think too much about it."

Zhao Ruyu's eyebrows furrowed again, and she said calmly to Zhao Rurui, "I didn't think much about it." After saying that, he withdrew Zhao Rurui's hand, walked two steps quickly, and caught up with Zhao Ruxin.

Zhao Rurui's smile suddenly froze on her face.

In the past, even though Zhao Ruyu was a legitimate daughter, she was kind-hearted and never looked down on her as a concubine because of her status; and because of Wei's harsh treatment, the two of them had the same problem, so the relationship between the two sisters has always been very good.

But for some reason, Zhao Ruyu became very cold towards her from the past few days.

Did she do something wrong?

Zhao Rurui was very confused.

The group of people walked down the steps, and just as they arrived at the entrance of the main courtyard, they met Zhu and Xu Xi coming in. Zhu gave a brief introduction to both parties, and then led Xu Xi straight to the main hall.

"Mom, I brought Miss Xi back." As soon as Mrs. Zhu entered the door, she patted Xu Xi and smiled at Mrs. Hou.

She turned to look at Xu Xi: "Sister Xi, this is my grandmother."

The maid had already put the brocade cushion up. Xu Xi sighed, succumbed to the feudal ethics, and kowtowed to the old lady.

Mrs. Zhu was afraid that she would not know etiquette and would make a fool of herself when they met, making everyone in the house laugh, so she reminded her in the carriage to kowtow to the old lady when she came in. As for everyone else, just give her a blessing.

The old lady personally stepped forward and helped Xu Xi up: "Good boy, it will be good to come back. It will be good to come back." She didn't know whether she was really excited or just acting, but she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

So everyone else in the room pretended to wipe away their tears.

Xu Xi: "..." Then should she cry too? But what should I do if she can't squeeze out tears?

Fortunately, the old lady did not stir up too much emotion. She raised her hand to the side and motioned for the maid to open the brocade box she was holding. She smiled at Xu Xi and said, "This is a meeting gift from your grandmother."

Xu Xi glanced at the box and saw that inside was a set of gold and jade headbands. Not to mention the gold, the jade on it was crystal clear and the quality was better than the jade hairpin that Zhu put on her head. The whole set of headbands had ten pieces.

The samples are obviously worth a lot of money.

This shows how wealthy Suipinghou Mansion was in the past. Even if it is no longer available, it can still produce such good things.

When other people in the room saw the hooded face, their expressions changed, and their eyes on Xu Xi became more complicated.

The good things from the Suiping Hou Mansion were pawned and sold, and the good things were given away one by one. Everyone knew that even the old lady and the eldest lady did not have many good things in their hands.

But the old lady was willing to give such a good thing to Xu Xi, which shows how much she values ​​this newly brought granddaughter.

only……

Their eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of the first lady and the second lady.

Even though Xu Xi lived abroad and suffered a lot, he was still from the second wife. The second master was a concubine and had no blood relationship with the old lady. They would be separated in the future. Such good things should have been reserved for the first wife.
