Chapter 9
br /
Only a few people have something to do, or go back to their room to change their clothes.
After sitting down, everyone chatted with each other, and Xi Wenlan kept serving the old lady.
Du Xiaoqin took the time and ordered the maid to go back to the fourth room and take Yun Qiao over.
The maid said yes.
It takes about a quarter of an hour to walk from the fourth room to the flower hall for the banquet, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth.
Du Xiaoqin only talked about family matters with her sisters-in-law, and slowly put this matter behind her mind.
When the meal was about to start, Xi Wenlan walked away from the old lady, came to Du Xiaoqin, and asked her in a low voice: "Mom, is Yun Qiao here?"
Du Xiaoqin searched casually but couldn't find it.
"Don't care about her." Du Xiaoqin's thought tonight was to curry favor with the governor and had no time to care about Yun Qiao.
Xi Wenlan had no choice but to turn back to the old lady.
The old lady asked her smile: "What are you talking to your mother?"
Xi Wenlan smiled gently: "It's Yun Qiao. She hasn't come yet, and it's almost time to start dinner."
The wife of the governor heard this and asked in surprise: "Who is Yun Qiao?"
The old lady explained: "Your fourth brother and sister-in-law's daughter in your hometown, the old lady in your hometown died, and your fourth brother and sister brought the child over."
The Governor's Lady: "…"
Although the Xi family has the highest family, the world has changed drastically and divorce has become a fashionable thing.
The fourth master of the Xi family is a concubine's son and has a low status. At that time, he had to marry Du Xiaoqin, who had an unknown origin. The old lady did not agree, but Du Xiaoqin impressed the old lady with a bitter drama.
Du Xiaoqin said she was a lost husband and had a daughter.
The old lady thought for a few days before saying, "I don't agree to marry her because I don't know her nature and am afraid that she will not treat Wenlan well in the future. Since she has given birth to a child, she must have some maternal love, but she knows how to love people than ordinary girls."
So, the old lady knew from the beginning that Du Xiaoqin had a child, and she had also asked about the child by chance over the years.
But the wife of the governor did not expect that Du Xiaoqin actually took the child to the Xi family.
"Where are people, I'll take a look when I call them over." The governor's wife smiled.
The old lady asked, too.
Du Xiaoqin quickly sent someone to find him.
Yun Qiao was in the corridor outside the flower hall. There were too many people in the room, so she burned the stove again, and the heat made her almost suffocate.
Du Xiaoqin led her to the governor's wife and asked her to call her "Grand Aunt".
Everyone was looking at Yun Qiao.
Xi Wenlan's expression was stunned.
Yun Qiao did not wear Xi Wenlan's eliminated clothes, but a snow-colored cloak.
The cloak was embroidered with silver thread on the cloak. The crystal lamp in the flower hall was extremely bright. Under the reflection, the light seemed to flow around her body. She grew lotus step by step and walked in.
Everyone thought this girl was so noble.
After entering the room, Yun Qiao casually untied her cloak and handed it to the servant inadvertently. She seemed to be used to being serving her, and she didn't care much about where her expensive clothes were thrown.
She followed Du Xiaoqin toward the old lady and the governor's wife.
When she approached, the governor's wife looked at her carefully.
Inside Yunqiao's cloak is a cotton cheongsam embroidered with a prosperous peony.
The bright red clothes would always look vulgar if they weren't for the wedding dress, but Yun Qiao's cheongsam had white fox hair inlaid on the collar and cuffs; the white fox hair rolled the edges and made the buckles with white jade.
White dilutes the bright red color, adding a bit of pride and playfulness.
Yun Qiao combed a tall bun and wore a pearl headdress.
The headdress was made of twelve large pearls, each of which was the size of a longan, round and full, and the pearls were shining under the light.
The pearlescent white and the red clothes look like fire, which highlights the young woman's bright and noble temperament and is very charming.
"So beautiful!" The governor's wife sincerely exclaimed.
Nothing is more suitable for the New Year than this dress, both beautiful and festive.
The old lady's eyes lit up too.
The last time I met Yun Qiao, the old lady felt that the child had a charming face and was a little disliked by her.
But today I saw her dressed so well, she was both popular and fashionable, and she also had the taste of a young woman and had the high temperament of a lady from a wealthy family.
"It's indeed beautiful!" the old lady also praised.
She also looked back at Xi Wenlan.
Xi Wenlan wore a water-red cheongsam, which was eclipsed by Yun Qiao's clothes and was compared to Yun Qiao's slim family.
Xi Wenlan himself noticed it.
Her gentle and gentle face was a little stiff.
