Chapter 47: See Uncle
When Xu Xi sat down, the eldest lady said to her: "Every girl in the mansion is worthy of a nanny, a big maid, two little maids and a rough lady."
As she said this, she waved and five servants came forward one after another.
"This is Nanny Yuan, and this is Qing Feng, the housekeeper and the eldest maid in your house. Yicui and Dianjiang are the little maids in your house. This is Granny Yu, the rough messenger in your courtyard."
Everyone the eldest lady named saluted Xu Xi one by one.
Everyone in the room had different expressions when they saw these servants.
Nanny Yuan was fine, she was originally a steward in the sewing room. But Qingfeng was the second-class maid in the old lady's room. Although she was second-class, she was very useful to the old lady and quite capable. As long as she was a second-class maid in the old lady's room.
If one of the four maids gets married, she will be promoted to a first-class position immediately.
But now the old lady gave her to Xu Xi, which shows how much she values Xu Xi.
Seeing that the eldest lady had paired Xu Xi with a servant, the old lady said, "Let everyone else leave. Brother Li and Brother An will accompany their sister and take her to the front yard to meet their uncle and third uncle."
Everyone stood up.
However, Mrs. Zhu said: "Second younger brother and sister, Sister Xi will come from the front yard later, and you have to take her back. Just wait for her." Then he said to Zhao Rurui and Zhao Ruyu, "Rurui, Ruyu will accompany you.
Your mother."
"Your sister-in-law is right, you wait for her to go back together." The old lady also said.
Xu Xi is the daughter of the second wife, the biological daughter of the Wei family. After Mrs. Zhu worked so hard to bring her back from the countryside, she can't just send her to the second wife all of a sudden. As the mother-in-law, Mrs. Wei doesn't care about anything, right?
Besides, there was a second master in the second room, Zhao Yuanliang. Regardless of whether he was there or not, it was difficult for the Zhu family to set foot there.
As for just asking Nanny Ruan to send it, that's not good, it's too disrespectful.
Anyway, in terms of emotion and reason, Wei should take it back.
Wei, who was about to walk out, stopped, glanced at Xu Xi, turned to the old lady and said, "Yes, old lady."
Zhao Jingli and other children stood there motionless, and when the elders all left the main room, he said goodbye to the old lady one by one and left in order of seniority.
Zhao Jingli has a calm temperament, but Zhao Jingan has a lively temperament. He was probably full of curiosity about his twin sister. He kept chirping all the way to the front yard: "Sister, what was your life like before? Were they good to you?"
Have you ever been hungry or cold?”
Xu Xi felt warm in her heart. This brother is good.
She smiled and said, "No, they are very good to me. My adoptive parents only have one child, and they love me very much. We live a decent life and have no problem with food and clothing."
Zhao Jingan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "I heard that it is very difficult to get into the women's college. How many people struggled to get in. How did you get in?"
Xu Xi blinked: "It's easy to pass the exam just like that."
Zhao Jingan, a scumbag: "..." If you don't show off, we can still talk well.
Probably someone came to inform them. When they entered the main hall in the front yard, the three brothers Zhao Yuanxun were already there.
As soon as Zhao Yuanliang saw Xu Xi coming in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Xi is back? Come, daddy will introduce you to your uncle."
He pointed to the middle-aged man sitting at the top and said, "This is your uncle."
Because Zhu once said that Xu Xi looked like Zhao Yuanxun, Xu Xi took advantage of the opportunity to salute and looked at Zhao Yuanxun curiously. Sure enough, he found that the two people were very similar in terms of face shape and eyes. Especially those eyes, which were black and bright.
She is very bright and energetic, which is something no one else has. Moreover, although Zhao Yuanxun has a slim figure, he is tall and straight, and the tallness and straightness of her body is somewhat similar to his.
"I heard that you were admitted to a women's college?" Zhao Yuanxun's voice was a little low and hoarse, but his eyes when he looked at Xu Xi were kind and his expression was gentle.
"It's just a fluke." Xu Xi lowered his head and said.
Zhao Jingan next to him curled his lips. That's not what my sister said just now.
"It shows that you are a smart child." Zhao Yuanxun raised his hand.
A maid next to him brought up a box. When the box was opened, it was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. Xu Xirao didn't understand these things, but it could be seen from their exquisiteness that this set of the Four Treasures of the Study seemed to be worth a lot of money.
"This set of Four Treasures of the Study Room was won by me for writing a poem when I participated in a literary conference. Although it is not very precious, it is of great significance. I give it to you. I hope you will succeed in your studies in the academy and make progress day by day."
"Thank you uncle." Xu Xi saluted.
Qing Feng quickly stepped forward, took the box from the maid's hand, returned it and handed it to Dian Jiang.
Xu Xi didn't need Zhao Yuanliang to say anything, and saluted him directly: "Xi'er has met daddy."
Zhao Yuanliang didn't need his servants to do anything. He took a brocade box from the servant behind him and handed it to Xu Xi: "Dad, I have nothing to give you. This is a jade ornament. Just take it and play with it."
He didn't open it, and Xu Xi couldn't check it in person. He took the box and handed it to Qing Feng, then bowed and thanked him.
