She said this without any intention, but she told Jiang Susu's face to froze under the veil, and Xia Yan also pinched her palm. Jiang Dan said timidly: "I, I brewed a bottle of honey myself."

"The sisters' gifts are so good," Jiang Ruan's voice was slightly lowered: "But I'm not ready for anything."

"Silly kid," Xia Yan patted her head lovingly: "How could I forget you? I knew you might have forgotten this morning, so I made a new basket of snacks in the kitchen. If it was very cold today, it would be possible to keep them for a few days. The snacks were so delicate that they would not lose their etiquette."

Jiang Ruan was a little surprised, and then said to Xia Yan: "Mom has troubled. I am ashamed of Ruan Niang for being thoughtful and thoughtful."

"You and I are mother and daughter, so how could you mind those?" Xia Yan smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. When you meet your grandparents, remember to take the gift up yourself."

Jiang Ruan nodded. Seeing her like this, Xia Yan felt relieved. Jiang Susu raised her lips and smiled calmly. Jiang Li was impatient with their conversation and had already turned her head aside and closed her eyes to rest. Jiang Dan looked at Xia Yan's face and felt thoughtful.

Xiahou Mansion is far away from Jiang Mansion, and the road is slippery on rainy days and the sky is gloomy. When I arrived outside the Xiahou Mansion, it was actually only evening, but the sky was dark and clouds were heavy, as if it was getting late.

The old lady at the door greeted several people and said as she walked, "Miss, I'm back. The master and his wife have already been waiting in the hall."

Xia Yan smiled and said that when he arrived at the hall of Xiahou Mansion, he was indeed rich and noble. A man and a woman sat in the front. The man was over 60 years old and had a round face with a gentle face. The corners of his mouth were always raised, looking like a Maitreya Buddha. The woman looked only in her early forties, with a rosy complexion, and she looked very friendly.

Two pairs of men and women stood on the side. The slightly older man looked ordinary and looked not Yan Gouxia, but the woman beside him was as beautiful as a flower. It was Xia Tianyi, the eldest son of the Xia family, and his wife Shen Rou. The other couple was a little younger, with a handsome face and a romantic look. The woman beside him was not as beautiful as Shen Rou. Although she was quite pretty, she had long faces and thin lips, and looked a little mean. This was Yu Ya, the second son of the Xia family, Xia Tiancai, the second son of the Xia family.

There was a pair of boys and girls standing between the two pairs, both of whom were only thirteen or fourteen years old. The girl was beautiful in a sky blue phoenix-patterned smoky gauze and flower soft satin dress, looking soft and charming. The boy's skin was a little dark, and he was handsome, but his expression was exactly the same as that of Master Xia.

This girl is Xia Jiaojiao, who is from the Xia family's big house. The young man is named Xia Jun, who is from the Xia family's second house.

At this moment, everyone in the room was standing in the hall, and Mrs. Xia called out first: "Yan'er."

Xia Yan smiled and replied: "Mom." Then he pushed Jiang Chao and Jiang Susu: "Isn't call me grandmother yet?"

Mrs. Xia waved and said with a smile: "Chaoer, Su'er, come forward and let your grandmother take a good look."

Jiang Susu and Jiang Chao stepped forward as they said, and Mrs. Xia touched their heads. When she saw Jiang Susu's veil and Jiang Chao's right hand wrapped in gauze, her eyes became dim again.

"My sister-in-law is back. My mother has been nagging these days." Shen Rou, the eldest grandmother of the Xia family, said first: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Su'er has become beautiful again."

As soon as she said this, Xia Yan's expression froze. Jiang Susu's hand in her sleeve was tightly held. Xia Tianyi glared at Shen Rou, but Xia Jiaojiao's eyes were a little gloating.

Mrs. Xia ignored her, but Xia Tian said, "How many days will my sister be here to stay this time? I'll just stay for a few more days."

"Just bring Su'er Chao'er back to meet her parents." Xia Yan said with a smile.

Mr. Xiahou, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Are you here too? Which one is the big girl?"

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Ruan'er, haven't you come to see your grandfather yet."

Jiang Ruan, who had been standing in the shadow, then said softly: "Yes." He walked up slowly.

In order to deliberately give some advice to the other daughters of the Jiang family, the Xia family deliberately ignored the others and only talked to Xia Yan and the others. At this moment, a gentle answer was heard, and a girl in red walked out from behind Xia Yan and slowly raised her head.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the eyes are lingering. Although they are young, their eyebrows and eyes are gentle and charming, without any cowardice or childishness. Like wine that has been preserved for a long time, it is rich when it opens.

Xia Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was smiling, there was already an invisible pressure coming. The girl in front of him had not moved and still smiled slightly, as if no one could shake her straight back.

Xia Cheng was surprised. Now that he is in a high position, his every move is oppressive. Although he will not reach the depth, ordinary girls will at least be afraid when they see it. But Jiang Ruan is fine. Does she not understand or is she scheming so deeply that she is terrible?

Thinking of the words in Xia Yan's letter, he had a deep understanding of Jiang Ruan, and suddenly laughed and said, "It turns out that he is a big girl, and he has compared Jiaojiao in our mansion."

When Xia Jiaojiao saw Jiang Ruan's appearance, she felt a little depressed. She was originally a beauty of perseverance, but Jiang Susu was already taller than her. After all, Jiang Susu was ruined, she saw that Jiang Ruan's appearance was not inferior to Jiang Susu. She thought that even if the daughter raised in a mountain village was good, she was vulgar, but now she looked like a noble person, which made her look look overshadowed.

Xia Tiancai smiled slightly: "Sister, it turns out that there is such a fairy-like figure in your house."

This was a bit frivolous. Lian Qiao frowned slightly, but Jiang Ruan seemed to have not heard it, without any shame. This scene fell into the eyes of everyone in the Xia family, so naturally she thought about it again.

After saying a moment, Xia Yan asked the maid to send the prepared gifts. Jiang Susu's handkerchief naturally received everyone's joy, and Jiang Dan and Jiang Li's gifts were also praised. Jiang Ruan handed the snack box prepared by Xia Yan for her to Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia ordered her servants to collect it. Suddenly, something happened: "Since you are back today, the ancestral hall in the mansion was repaired last month, you came to put in incense sticks for the ancestors of the Xia family. The master invited a few days ago said that the Xia family had a great disaster this year, and it took people born in April to pray sincerely for one night to escape danger. I heard Yaner say that Ruaner was born on the seventh day of the fourth lunar month. I wonder if Ruaner could help his grandmother and pray for one night at the Xia family."

Lian Qiao opened her mouth and wanted to stop her. Jiang Ruan was not allowed to be the Xia family, and even if the Xia family really had a great disaster, what would it have to do with her? Besides, going to the ancestral hall to kneel and pray for a night. As cold as today, it was a cold place, and she could hear her suggestion. Jiang Ruan had not been well in the village in the early years. She would have been seriously ill if she didn't kneel like this for a night. But before Lian Qiao could speak, she heard Jiang Ruan say, "If you can help, Ruan'er must do her best."

Mrs. Xia smiled with satisfaction: "Ruan'er is such a sensible child."
