Chapter 18: Going to the Banquet and Meeting Guan Yucheng for the First Time 4
"You are not as beautiful as your sister." Guan Yucheng said directly, and then looked up and down, "Isn't it stressful to have such an outstanding sister? My life is not very comfortable with my brother who is so powerful. Even my wife makes
He chooses the best. Alas, life is miserable, and besides having a man who is popular all over the capital as my friend, the world will not allow me, Guan Yucheng, to live in this world!"
Listening to Guan Yucheng's seemingly painful complaints, but actually his happy smile, Xian Ziqian couldn't help but smile. These two brothers are really interesting.
"Okay, stop joking with Sister Ziyuan in this glib tone." Guan Yupeng said, "You came here with Brother Xuan?"
"Yes." Guan Yucheng made an expression of spreading his hands towards Xian Ziqian, and then said to Guan Yupeng, "I happened to meet Brother Xuan's carriage on the way back. He happened to be out on business, so I begged him to take me back to my house and talk to him.
He said that today my future sister-in-law will come to our house to play the piano for my mother. My future sister-in-law is a close disciple of Wan Qing, the most famous piano master in Beijing. The sound of the piano is definitely a good piano skill that the Queen Mother also praised."
Guan Yupeng smiled and led everyone into the front hall. Xian Ziyan deliberately lagged behind as she walked, walking at the back of the group with Qin Yun who was waiting for her sister. In this way, she could avoid Xuan Yi. In fact, Xuan Yi didn't pay attention to her at all.
, his eyes always fell on Xian Zi Ai's body, and her sister's face was always glowing with a charming pink color.
However, no one would think that this shyness was because of Xuan Yi. Everyone would just think that she came to her future mother-in-law's house to get along with her future husband. This was the most normal shyness.
Mrs. Guan received the notice from the slaves and came to the front hall from the back garden to greet everyone to sit down. It was not the first time for Xian Zi Ai to come here, so she respectfully saluted Mrs. Guan first and then said: "Mrs. Guan, hello. Mother asked Zi Ai to say hello to Madam
, I’ll come over to visit in person when I have time another day. This is Zi Ai’s younger sister Zi Yu, Mr. Guan specially invited her to come with him this time. Zi Yu, I’ve met Mrs. Guan.”
Xian Ziqian walked to her sister and bowed quietly, "Hello, Madam Guan. Zi Qian has met Madam."
"Sit down." Mrs. Guan smiled gently and said politely, "Everyone, sit down. Come and serve tea. Is your name Ziyuan? How is your mother's health? I heard your father mention it some time ago that your mother is in poor health.
I haven’t been feeling well and spent most of my time in bed, but are you feeling better now?”
Xian Ziqian did not raise her head and said respectfully: "It's better now. Thank you, Mrs. Guan. My mother is just a little afraid of heat. She is always reluctant to move when the weather is hot. She will be fine once the weather cools down in a few days."
"Hmm." Mrs. Guan looked at Xian Ziqian. This girl was indeed a very quiet child. She was very cautious in what she said and did, and she was as leak-free as possible. This was not the explanation she heard. The person said that Mrs. Xian had a temperament.
He was irritable and often took his anger out on his little daughter. His words were vulgar and his actions were violent, so he deliberately arranged for his son to go to the Xian Mansion to invite Xian Zi Ai to play the piano, and at the same time, he invited Xian Zi Ai's sister to accompany him.
Although the Guan family and the Xian family were engaged early in the morning, they could not have an in-law who was too vulgar.
"Mom, the lotus flowers in the backyard are blooming. My son wants to invite Zi Ai to enjoy the lotus flowers in the back garden." Guan Yupeng saw that everyone had nothing to say after they sat down, so he suggested, "If you don't mind, we can go to the pavilion in the back garden."
How about watching the lotuses and listening to the piano?"
