These people in front of her, Li Xia knew them all. This Fourth Miss Li Wenfang was born out of wedlock and loved to show off her eloquence, liked to take the lead, even when speaking, she had to say one more sentence than others, but was actually timid at heart. In the past, she had argued with her the most.
Seventh Sister Li Wennan was the legitimate daughter of Mrs. Yan, who had given birth to three sons in a row and then, after many years, gave birth to this daughter. On the surface, it didnt show, but actually, she loved Seventh Sister to the bone. Eldest Uncle doted on this youngest daughter the most as well.
Li Xia looked at Qiuniang, thinking in her heart, in the previous life she and this spoiled girl had almost no intersection, this time, she must get along well with her, or please her.
If the person who came to the front hall was really that Luo Shizhe and Gu Gong, then Da Bo would absolutely be a powerful external ally worth fighting for. Making friends with this Seventh Young Lady would open up a path all the way to Da Bos rear residence!
"Sister is so beautiful!" Li Xia looked up at Qī Gūniáng with a face full of admiration.
This seventh daughter was born quite well, the Li family from Yongning couple to three sons and one daughter, each handsome and beautiful, but Mrs. Yans appearance is ordinary, this seventh daughter is a blessed one, not looking like Mrs. Yan at all, almost following the Li family side.
"I think my sister is so pretty!" Seventh Girl grabbed Li Xias hand, pinched it, and pulled her up with a start, exclaiming in surprise, "Mother, look! Look at my sisters hands, theyre so chubby, its so much fun!" Seventh Girl said as she laughed and rubbed Li Xias hands.
" Ninth sister, this is a hand of great fortune and nobility! Is it just good-looking?" Mrs. Yan was both angry and amused as she playfully slapped her daughter on the back, Fourth Miss glanced over and said, "Little piggy foot! How did I not notice where the fun is?"
"Sixth Brother also said that to me!" Li Xia glanced at Li Wenlan, who pursed his lips tightly, knowing he was annoyed, and hastily added a sentence.
"I didnt say pig trotters, I said pig hands!" Li Wenlan hastily corrected. In fact, he wanted to express that he was being kind, but the fourth sisters words were clearly not well-intentioned. Pig hands are hands, and pig trotters are hooves - can they be the same?
Mrs. Yan burst out laughing, and the maid beside her also laughed together. Li Wenlans face turned red.
"Fang Jie, youre a sister, how can you say that to Jiu Jie? Hurry up and give your Ninth Sister a gift!" Madam Yans laughter had barely faded when she lightly scolded Fourth Miss. Fourth Miss immediately shrank her shoulders and bent her knees to apologize to Li Xia, "It was my fault, Ninth Sister, dont hold it against me."
"Hmm, then Fourth Sister still has to praise me a couple more times!" Li Xia pretended to be silly and foolish to ease the awkwardness. She was determined to get along well with Eldest Uncles family, best if no one would offend anyone.
Mrs. Yan had just lifted her cup to drink tea, but her hand softened with laughter, and all the tea spilled out.
Seventh girl laughed with one hand constantly pounding her chest, "Oh my! Ninth sister... Ninth sister... too cute! Youre so adorable! Laughing to death!"
The fourth daughter also laughed with her shoulders shaking.
Li Wenlan didnt find Li Xias words funny, he was already used to Li Xia often asking him to praise her for this matter, pouting and looking around at the crowd in a daze. Mrs. Yan looked at his silly appearance and couldnt stop laughing. The third child was so stubborn and hateful, but the children they raised were all so good! It seemed that the third childs wife was truly a hidden gem.
"Jiū mèi mei yòu piào liàng yòu kě ài! Jiū mèi mei yòu cōng míng yòu dà dù!" Sì gū niáng xiào de jī hū shuō bù chū huà, kě duì zhe yī zhí yǎn ba ba kàn zhe tā děng kuā jiǎng de Lǐ Xià, gǎn tiē kuā jiǎng, zhè xiǎo guān tou dèn shì mǎn kě ài!
"What about the new clothes for Liu Ge and Jiu Yaotou? Bring them over to see if they fit, I was so busy chatting that I completely forgot. Madame Yan instructed, Da Yatou Yingtao hastily gestured to Xiao Yatou to bring over two large red lacquered trays, smiling with a hint of meaning: "Our things havent been sorted out yet, and finding the jade pendant took some effort, madam take a look at what Ive paired first, if its not good, Ill go exchange them right away."
Originally, Mrs. Yan only ordered one set of new clothes for each person. However, when she saw that the two were well-mannered and courteous, she was very pleased with them. At this moment, seeing that the gift of one set of new clothes per person might be a bit too simple, she hastily added a jade pendant and a forbidden step to the two sets of clothes.
Mrs. Yan glanced at the multicolored jade pendant and the crimson gold forbidden step, smiling: "Indeed not well chosen, first take the clothes to let them try on, you go find that yellow flower pear wood box with auspicious flowers blooming, take out four crimson gold long life hundred years necklaces, bring back one for each of their siblings, then go to that joyful swallow noisy spring box and pick a fine sheep fat jade pendant for Sixth Brother, also bring over the ruby bangle and the butterfly forbidden step.
Yingtao hastily agreed and left, while the maid servant helped Li Xia and Li Wenlan change into new clothes. Li Wenlan looked down at her own brand-new pale blue satin cheongsam and couldnt stop smiling - this dress was even more beautiful than Fifth Brothers!
Li Xia wore a bright red pomegranate skirt, paired with a light gray embroidered short shirt. She was lively and generous, Li Xia happily spun around in a circle, curtsied and thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie! Youre so nice! I love this outfit! Its so beautiful! This is the most beautiful skirt Ive ever worn!"
"I like it too! Thank you, Auntie!" Li Wenlan bowed deeply in gratitude.
"Ah Nang, Jiu Mie Mie is too cute!" Qi Nang Zi pinched Li Xias face, she really liked this little sister.
The fourth girl couldnt help but pull Li Xia, this little nine is really something! Just thank you, and say whats the most beautiful clothes that have been worn through! This sentence is too embarrassing to say! Besides, being so happy with just one piece of clothing is also too petty!
Yan Furens gaze lingered on the few fingers that Si Gu Niang had grasped Li Xias hand with, before moving away with a smile: "Rarely is it such a good fit!"
As they spoke, Cherry had already brought the things over. Mrs. Yan took the jade pendant and first put it on Li Wenlans neck, then took the ruby bracelet and put it on Li Xias hand. Cherry quickly squatted down to tie the delicate and lively ruby butterfly buckle for Li Xia.
"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Cherry sister." Li Xia happily thanked.
"Huh? How did you know my name is Cherry?" Cherry was surprised, and Auntie also looked at Xia with suspicion. Xias heart tightened, she had let her guard down! "I heard someone call you Cherry just now!" Xia replied awkwardly.
Mrs. Yans heart moved slightly, and she pulled Li Xia into her arms, smiling: "This girl is really meticulous! Come on, Auntie will tell you, this is Dan Li, this is Dong Kui, this is..." Mrs. Yan spoke quickly, almost in one breath introducing all the maidservants standing by in the house, and after finishing, she smiled brightly at Li Xia.
"This is elder sister Dan Li, this is elder sister Dong Kui."
Dan Bi and Dong Kui hastily rushed to Li Xia Qus side, kneeling down to pay their respects. As they did so, Dong Kui smiled and said, "I dont dare accept such formality, just call me Dong Kui, Ninth Young Mistress."
