Chapter 140 Beauty as Jade

The warm autumn sun slanted on the stone steps, and the corridor of the window lattice was wiped spotless and faintly shining in the sun. The originally quiet yard has a lot of busy figures. The maids seem to have a tacit understanding, trying to rub a layer of skin from the window floor and clean it over and over again.

Xin Zixuan stopped the teacup on the table, raised her eyelids, and looked at the man leaning against the window and telling her the situation in northern Sichuan vividly. I saw that he seemed to have a finely carved jade-like face, a beautiful nose, and a pair of brown eyes under his slender and thick eyelashes. The corners of his eyes seemed to smile and rose slightly, as if he were a proud son of heaven. The thin lips bent a perfect arc, like a smile or a provocation, and the blurred and flashing look in his eyes made the people who looked at him confused.

The man is tall and elegant. A moon-white cloud brocade robe is worn on him, which looks very beautiful. A crow-blue belt is tied around his waist to outline his slender posture. The curves seem to be softer than women's. The fingers are clean and slender, the smile is charming and elegant, and the hands and feet are full of **.

If it hadn't been for this person's younger brother who had seen him for more than ten years, Xin Zixuan would definitely suspect that the man in front of her was actually disguised as a woman.

Obviously, he was born to his compatriots' parents, but his younger brothers and sisters have inherited their mother's stunning appearance, especially those amber eyes. If Xin Zimo's appearance is charming, that's all. After all, she is a woman. It's understandable that she is more beautiful. However, Youning, the Langjun, also gave birth to such a evil appearance, which is better than Xin Zimo. Fortunately, he follows his father. Although his bones are thin and slender, his body is strong and weak. In fact, he is also an unrivaled bloody man.

"Hongling, let the outside sweep the floor, wipe the windows, and water the flowers all back." Xin Zixuan finally couldn't stand Youning's daliflower. Everywhere she went, she provoked the hearts of the girls. In order to secretly look at her, the maids in the whole yard became diligent. If she went on like this, her yard would be rubbed out of skin.

Hearing Xin Zixuan's instructions, Hongling also woke up from her obsession with Youning. She accidentally looked at Youning's deliberately ambiguous eyes, and her face suddenly burned like fire. He hurriedly saluted them, then rushed out and drove away all the maids outside. Xin Zixuan glanced at him angrily and seemed to be proud of it. "Don't you go back with your father and mother and come to me just to hook up with the maid in my yard?"

"No, it's their own lack of determination. The maids around the elder sisters in the past would not be like this." You Ning didn't seem to care about his sister's reprimand.

Xin Zixuan gave him a white look. Those maids had long been used to Xin Zimo and his appearance, so it was not surprising. But now, although these maids are also used to lamenting Li Sijin's elegance, compared with the gender-related beauty of Youning, it is difficult for them not to be moved. In particular, Youning deliberately shook in front of the window, making them lean on their necks and pull out the length of the ducks. No wonder after she got married, her mother refused to let Youning come to Beijing to see her. There is also a reason.

You Ning picked up a lotus flower wrapped in blue and white flowers, looked at it for a while, put it down, turned around, and almost hit the moon peacock enamel bottle on the ancient shelf beside him. Fortunately, he was bright-eyed and narrowly catch it. He carefully put back the vase, walked to Xin Zixuan and sat down, and glanced around.

"Sister, you live in such a place every day." After Youning stepped into the Li family, he didn't take a good look at the yard and was only excited to see his eldest sister again. Now when I look at it carefully, I feel that it is narrow everywhere, which is not as comfortable as the high gate and courtyard in the north of Sichuan.

"What is such a place? Isn't it good?" Xin Zixuan knows her brother very well and knows that he, like his sister, likes to ride horses. If he lives in the capital in the future and can't go out, I'm afraid he will cause trouble sooner or later.

"Have you ever been to the royal palace?" Youning didn't answer and jumped to another topic.

Xin Zixuan blinked, looked at his meditating side face and asked, "I've been there. What's wrong?" But I've only been there twice.

The first time she went with Shaohua, and the second time Shaohua refused to accompany her anyway, she had to go to the appointment, because her heart was also estranged and she couldn't like the royal palace.

The sister and brother seemed to have a sharp understanding. You Ning sighed deeply, "If the second sister is still there, she will be trapped in such a place like you." Those seductive eyes were full of sadness for a while. Compared with Xin Zixuan, You Ning and the second sister Xin Zimo were playmates from childhood to adulthood. The two are of the same age, similar in nature and in appearance, so when Xin Zimo passed by, he cried more sadly than anyone else.

You Ning turned his head awkwardly, looked out of the window, and muttered, "You can even turn around and hit your hand. What's good here? There are not many trees, and that big puddle is also called a pond. Is it to raise people or birds?

Hearing Youning's childish words, Xin Zixuan couldn't help scolding, "Youning, don't talk nonsense, be careful that there are ears across the wall." But the mood has been brought down by him. "The royal palace is much bigger and more beautiful than here. If Moer is still here, it will be much happier than me."

Youning suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly, "No matter how big and beautiful it is, it can't be compared with Baishan Mohe. The second sister would not like this kind of birdcage place. If it hadn't been for the presence of my father and mother, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to him."

Xin Zixuan was shocked, "Have you met the prince or the prince?" Looking at my brother's writing all his thoughts on his face, he whispered a warning: "You Ning, I can warn you not to come here. It's no better than North Sichuan. Put away your wild nature! Now that you want to live in Beijing, you have met a lot of people and things. You are already an adult. Don't be the same as before. Xin Zixuan was very happy to learn from You Ning that the emperor asked them to live temporarily and even prepared a house for them. However, when she saw You Ning's nature, she couldn't help worrying that there would be another tragedy like Xin Zimo.

You Ning, like Xin Zimo, had a lingering heart for this eldest sister who was as strict as her mother, and complained in a low voice, "I know, big sister! You thought I didn't grow up. I'm seventeen this year.

"What about 17? If Mo'er was here, she would be nineteen. Maybe it's the child's mother." Xin Zixuan sighed.

Knowing that the eldest sister is now pregnant, You Ning dares not replace the deceased Xin Zimo. She was afraid that she would be too sad and naughtyly pulled away her smiling face: "Okay, sister, don't think too much. If you let your mother know that I came to look for you but make you sad, she must talk to death when you go back. ." Youning turned to the topic, "I'm afraid I'm really going to stay in this trip back to Beijing. When I first came here, my father specifically asked me to tell you to protect yourself first and ignore everything else."

"What, is it that the Holy King has moved his mind?" Xin Zixuan also wiped the wet corners of her eyes and opened her eyes wide.

Youning was about to open his mouth when he heard the sound of Hongling outside, and it seemed that there were other people's footsteps. The sister and brother squeezed their lips at the same time and only heard Hongling say, "Five Lady, why are you here? Well, this dress is so beautiful, just like a fairy daughter in the sky. Wait, my young lady and Master Youning are talking. I'm going to inform you."

You Ning frowned at Xin Zixuan, saw her shaking her head slightly, and then called out, "Is it Wu Niang? Come in, there are no outsiders." Hearing the footsteps outside approaching, Youning stood up and said, "Sister, shall I go first?"

As a result, as soon as he stood up, he saw a little red figure rushing in, ignoring his existence. He rushed to Xin Zixuan and said excitedly to Xin Zixuan, "Sister-in-law, look at how I wear this skirt." Shaohua saw the surprise in Xin Zixuan's eyes and deliberately circled a few times in front of her.

You Ning fixed her eyes and said in surprise, "How can you have this skirt? Isn't this the second sister's favorite veil?" Youning's favorite person is Xin Zimo, so as soon as he saw Shaohua wearing his second sister's clothes, he immediately frowned.

Xin Zixuan saw his temper and immediately shouted, "Youning, don't be rude. This is your brother-in-law's second uncle's wife. I also gave her this skirt." Shaohua raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a little surprise in his eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth and immediately changed his poor and innocent face. Xin Zixuan didn't notice her change of face, pulled her to her side and said gently, "Wuniang, come here quickly and ignore him. This is my third brother. I grew up in northern Sichuan, and I'm rough and loose."

Shaohua obediently hid beside Xin Zixuan and secretly looked at Youning's angry face. Xin Zixuan saw him silent and said, "Youning, why don't apologize!"

You Ning stared at Shaohua unhappily and felt very disgusted with the girl who appeared inexplicably, not only enjoyed the gentleness of the eldest sister, but also occupied the second sister's favorite skirt: "Humph!"

Xin Zixuan said urgently, "You Ning!"

Shaohua sighed in his heart, and his temperament remained unchanged for a hundred years. Then he smiled sweetly at Xin Zixuan: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. I just don't know him."

Xin Zixuan was about to praise her when You Ning shouted, "Why did this girl speak? She is so presumptuous. What does it mean that she doesn't know me? I don't blame you for stealing my second sister's clothes!"

Shaohua looked at his delicate face with a smile and was completely unmoved. "Didn't your sister-in-law tell you just now that this has been given to me, so this is mine. How can it be called stealing?" Looking at Youning's expression, Shaohua turned his head and asked Xin Zixuan to spoil her. "I was anxious to show my sister-in-law what I wore, so I secretly ran behind my mother's back. Sister-in-law, do you think it's beautiful?"

"Good-looking! Wu Niang is very suitable to wear clothes of this color. Xin Zixuan didn't expect that after this skirt was small, it would make Shaohua wear a different style.

You Ning said angrily, "It's so ugly that I can't even compare with my second sister's toes." What made him even more angry was that Shaohua actually ignored his beauty, and Xin Zimo was the only one who could look better than him in the world. Even if Shaohua is not jealous, he must at least be a little stunned, but her attitude is obviously not paid attention to, which makes Youning, who has been attracting attention since she entered Beijing, a little angry.

Shaohua was almost amused by Youning's child's temper. He deliberately raised his eyebrows provocatively, then greeted the young man and brought up the food box.

"That's right, sister-in-law, I just learned to make jade bean cake, which is Aunt Zhang's unique skill. I heard that you have no appetite recently, so I specially brought it to you to have a taste. Shaohua opened the food box and put a few beautiful jade bean cakes in it, which are three colors from top to bottom. The top layer is dotted with a few black seed hemp, with light yellow in the middle, and the bottom is a light cherry color, which looks exquisite and attractive.

Xin Zixuan looked surprised, "Did you do it? It's so beautiful. Why do you want to do this?

Youhan answered as soon as he opened his mouth, but was stared at by Shaohua, "My wife, um, made it herself."

"How about tasting it, sister-in-law?" Shaohua smiled and urged Xin Zixuan to try. Xin Zixuan couldn't brush her face. She twisted a piece and put it in her mouth. Unexpectedly, she found that the taste was fresh: "Delicious, sweet but not greasy, soft and smooth, and pleasant to watch." Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was only responsible for trying her taste and didn't move a finger at all. That's great if your sister-in-law likes it.

Youning, who was about to leave, heard Shaohua say that he had made a snack for Xin Zixuan. He raised his step and stared at the box of delicious cakes. It was not until Xin Zixuan opened his mouth to praise that he withdrew his feet. Is it really that delicious? Why don't I look good? It seems that there is still a strange smell.

Shaohua smiled at his mouthful appearance, enthusiastically held the food box and handed it to him. Is that right? Why don't you try it and see if it's strange?

You Ning hesitated for a moment, looked at Shaohua's enthusiastic smile, and deliberately said, "Well, I'm reluctantly a good one." Seeing that his eyebrows trembled and his eyes lit up, Shaohua deliberately asked, "How's it going?" After Youning solved one piece, he reached out to get the second piece and didn't forget to say, "It tastes very strange. Well, I'll try one more. It seems that it's okay. I'll try again."

As a result, most of the pastries were swept into his stomach by Youning, and he had taken the initiative to take the food box and sat beside Xin Zixuan to eat happily.

Youhan was shocked by his rude behavior: "What's wrong with you..."

Xin Zixuan also felt that Youning was too rude, but Youning was a standard people who put food first. As long as there was delicious food, he could immediately put down his backbone and face. Youning, you are so rude."

Looking at the three pieces left in the food box, Youning then quit with satisfaction, changed her guard and smiled at Shaohua, "For the sake of making snacks, I don't care about you wearing my second sister's clothes. By the way, do you still have this? I'll take it back to my mother later. My mother likes to eat sweeter than me.

"Yes, I'll ask Youhan to go to the kitchen to wrap some for you, but not much. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time." Shaohua is proud that she knows much more about Youning's character than Xin Zixuan. Strictly speaking, this box of jade bean cake is specially prepared for Youning.

She can't recognize Youning, at least in her own way to express her concern for Youning.

"Sister, your sister-in-law is really good. It seems that you are living a comfortable life." Youning really treated Shaohua with new eyes, "Little girl, for the sake of our fate, please call me Brother Youning, and I will bring you some delicious food in the future."
