How to catch the best husband [MTL] ✔

Chapter 97 Changes

In the side room in the east wing of Yilan Garden, several people talked in low voices.

"These two children look like her mother, look at those rosy mouths and big eyes." "Let me see, they are indeed half of the Xu family."

This is the first time that Chen Xi has been "in the cold" at the Xu family. She looked at her uncle, aunt, and grandmother who surrounded the crib, and laughed.

"Come closer if you want to see it." Chen Xi said looking at Xia He poking his head beside him with a look of eagerness. Hearing this, Xia He happily took two or three steps forward and stood on tiptoe, but he was still unable to break through the "encirclement" of the Xu family.

Chen Xi is not a real child, so naturally she won't feel lost because everyone loves the newly born younger brothers. Seeing that the younger brothers are not short of manpower, she goes out to the small kitchen to find Mammy Bai to see the soup for her mother.

She walked to the door of the small kitchen. Maybe all the maids and ladies went to the front to receive the reward, and the white mammy sat on the small tumbler by the stove and watched the fire. Mammy Bai has always been strong, but her back is always straight, but at some point she stooped a little.

Inexplicably, Chen Xi's eyes were a little sore. Mammy Bai was the one who accompanied her mother to the end in her previous life. Although she could not go to her mother's funeral, she saw Mammy Bai for the last time.

It was Mammy Bai who came to Xue's house to inform Chen Xi of this information. Maybe she knew that if she went directly to the door, she would be stopped by the people of Bai's family, but she bought the old lady in the backyard to sneak into Xue's house.

When Chen Xi saw her, she was already ill. Hearing the news of her mother's death, she was so saddened that she coughed up blood.

She still remembered the expression on the face of Mammy Bai at that time, there was no expression at all, she was numb, and it seemed that all the sorrow was hidden in the corner of her eyes and brows, turning into deep wrinkles.

Chen Xi asked Mammy Bai, "Xiao He, are you okay?" Mammy Bai twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard the words: "Before Mrs. left, she pointed out the marriage to the child, who is the nephew of Zhou Ye of the academy. I've seen it, and it's reliable."

That's good, that's good.

"The madam sold her dowry shop before her death, and after the medicines and household expenses that were used, there is still what's left." Mammy Bai took out a cloth bag from her bosom. The bag opened: "Miss, you've had a hard time in it. With these arrangements, it's somewhat better."

Inside were some shards of silver and a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry. Chen Xi recognized one of the plum blossom silver hairpins as an accessory that Mammy Bai never left her body.

At that meeting, the two of them didn't shed a single tear, but Chen Xi's heart was riddled with holes and immersed in the most bitter Huanglian.

"Miss? Why are you standing here without making a sound." Mammy Bai stood up and found Chen Xi standing quietly outside.

Chen Xi stared at the familiar plum blossom silver hairpin stuck in Mammy Bai's hair, holding back the tears in her eyes: "Mammy, I'm thinking, you've been carrying this hairpin for many years, when you return to Yunzhou I'll ask my mother to give you another shot."

Mammy Bai was delighted when she heard it: "Miss, I will be satisfied if you have this heart, but this hairpin cannot be changed. This is what my mother put on for me when I was married, and this is the only one in the world."

This is the first time Chen Xi has heard the origin of this hairpin from Mammy Bai. When Chen Xi was young, she always thought that Mammy Bai was stern and stern. How could she chat so easily, let alone know a slightly shabby hairpin? 

"I originally thought about wearing it into the soil, but now..." Bai Mammy touched the hairpin on top of her head, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Wait for that girl Xia He and the hairpin, if she doesn't dislike it, this hairpin will be given to her. already."

Chen Xi felt as if a ball of cotton was blocked in his heart, and felt suffocated. She forced a smile: "Mammy, what are you stewing? It's delicious."

Mammy Bai remembered that there was still soup in the pot, and she hurriedly turned around to check the heat: "It's the tofu and crucian carp soup ordered by the old lady. This crucian carp has been raised in the kitchen for a few days, and it's just waiting to be cooked."

Chen Xi approached, the milky white soup, the snow-white tofu loomed, and the fragrance was tempting.

"Miss, you can taste the salty and bland food." Mammy Bai found a bowl and said she wanted Chen Xi to taste it, but she beat a big bowl. Chen Xi took the bowl of fish soup, took a big sip, and warmly pressed his stomach and heart: "Delicious."

Water-like cloth, children's clothing and utensils were delivered to Yilan Garden. Chen Xi's house was piled with miscellaneous things.

"Why is this here with me?" Chen Xi pointed to the swaying little wooden horse in the middle of the room, Xia He smiled and said, "Uncle just brought this here, saying that the warehouse is far away, so let's leave our convenience here first. Young masters play."

This little Trojan obviously has to be a few years old to play. Chen Xi put down his pen helplessly: "Take this to the warehouse after receiving it, and take it with you when you leave."

When it comes to leaving, Xia He is excited: "Miss, when will we meet in Yunzhou. I asked someone to buy some Jiangzhou gadgets and plan to bring them to Sister Chuntang and Zhizhi."

Chen Xi stopped the pen, picked up the drawing paper and dried the ink: "It will take another month, wait until the mother is out of confinement before she can go far."

Xia He nodded, and Chen Xi saw that she was a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "Why, do you miss Chuntang Zhizhi? Or... do you miss someone else?"

Xia He's little face suddenly turned red: "Miss, what are you talking about!" Chen Xi raised her eyebrows, and she asked casually if there was really a situation.

Let her think about it, besides Chen Shouren, there are three men in the family, one in winter, one in spring, and one in Chen Jingyu. Chen Jingyu ruled it out first. He spent less time in Chen's house than Chunsheng who worked in the academy, and Xia He had nothing to do with him at all. Said a few words.

Is that one of the Zheng family's two children? Chen Xi looked at Xia He meaningfully, and asked her to explore the bottom: "Oh, my little Xia He is so young, so her heart is sprouting?"

"Miss! Whoever has a budding heart, don't talk nonsense." Xia He was rarely annoyed once, and Chen Xi smiled and shook his head: "That child is good..."

"Miss, I really don't have any! Brother Chunsheng is a few years older than me, and he often takes care of the food I buy for me. The gifts are still exchanged. Should I return the gifts?" Xia He said.

It turned out to be Chunsheng, and Chen Xi said with a smile, "Yes, yes." Chunsheng was a few years older than Xia He, and he was calm and steady. Now that he is doing a good job in the academy, if he wants to, it is not impossible for him to be a scholar in the future.

Xia He will be a talented lady by then, and the more Chen Xi thinks about it, the more silly she becomes. What a childhood sweetheart, how wonderful, Chen Xi has already made up his mind.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Xia He asked curiously when she saw Chen Xi looking silly at the picture she just drew. Chen Xi shook his head: "You can't say it, you can't say it."

However, this girl Chuntang has already passed the age of Jijiao, so do you have to find a suitable one for her first? It's not good if you keep procrastinating.

When I go back, I will pay attention to whether there is any suitable one, Chen Xi thought to himself, completely immersed in the happiness of a little mandarin duck, completely forgetting his current lonely and widowed situation.
