The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

The woman called Bihua walked over quickly, held the hand that Mrs. Xie extended, and then gently sat down beside the bed, saying, "Aunt, I heard that you were sick, so I made your favorite health-preserving porridge. Please try it while it's hot."

Mrs. Xie showed a rare smile in the past few days, sipping the care from her mother's family. After two or three mouthfuls of porridge, Mrs. Xie raised her head and praised: "Well, the rice soup is sweet and delicious, the rice grains are moderately soft and hard, and the cooking time is just right. I know it's your cooking skills as soon as I taste it."

The woman smiled softly and said, "It's rare that your aunt likes it. I'll make it for you another day."

Mrs. Xie smiled knowingly and continued to drink her porridge. The woman beside her said softly, "I came back to visit my relatives. I just arrived home the night before yesterday. Since hearing about your illness, my father missed you very much and immediately sent me and my brother to visit you. In fact, even if my father didn't say it, I was planning to come back to visit you this time. Aunt, you have always been in good health. How did you suddenly get sick?"

Madam Xie finished her porridge and handed the bowl to Madam Zhang. She wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief and said, "I just caught a cold at night. Please tell my brother that I'm fine now and tell him not to worry. But Bihua, why did you come back all of a sudden by yourself?"

The woman's eyes dimmed slightly, and she said lightly: "I missed home very much recently, so I came back."

Mrs. Xie remained silent after hearing this. She glanced at the woman and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and Xiangyue came into the room, saying as she walked in: "I heard from the servant outside that Sister Bihua is here, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Upon hearing the voice, Madam Xie and the woman looked in Xiangyue's direction. The woman stood up and walked towards Xiangyue. She took Xiangyue's hand warmly and said, "My sister Xiangyue is getting more and more beautiful."

Xiangyue pursed her lips, blinked her eyes and said jokingly: "How can I compare to your talent and beauty, sister."

The woman scratched Xiangyue's nose with her index finger and said, "How much honey did you eat? How come your mouth is so sweet!"

After saying this, everyone in the room laughed.

Amid the laughter, my aunt came into the room and said with a smile, "It's so lively here."

The woman and Xiangyue hurriedly saluted the eldest aunt. The eldest aunt was of course not surprised by the woman's arrival. She took the initiative to approach the woman and said with a smile: "Xie Jin, long time no see!"

"Yes, aunt, long time no see. You are still so energetic." The woman replied very politely.

"Alas, it's no use now. I'm old and too lazy to manage things." There was a hint of genuine sigh hidden in the words the aunt said to the woman.

"Aunt only needs to exert 50% to 60% of her energy to achieve the same result as an ordinary person would have to put in all the effort." The woman responded quickly.

"Well, look!" The eldest aunt looked at Madam Xie, then smiled and glanced at the people around her and said, "You are really worthy of being Bihua. What you say is always so pleasant and makes people love to listen." The eldest aunt obviously felt that the woman's words were really useful. Even her eyes were full of smiles, and everyone in the room responded with smiles from the eldest aunt.

The maid at the door suddenly reported loudly: "Young Madam, please come in." These words startled everyone in the room.

As she slowly walked into the house, the laughter that could be heard outside the house just now suddenly stopped. Almost everyone in the house had an unnatural expression, which made her feel the atmosphere was subtle.

Huanhuan took the initiative to bow to Mrs. Xie and her aunt, and then she saw a strange young woman standing behind her aunt, so she stood there hesitating, not knowing how to address the other person.

At this time, Mrs. Xie reacted and said to Huanhuan, "Xunhuan, this is my niece from my mother's family - Xie Jin, who is one or two years older than you. She came to visit me today."

Huanhuan then bowed to Xie Jin again and said, "Hello, Sister Xie Jin."

Xie Jin stepped up from behind her aunt to in front of Huan Huan, returned the greeting, and then said, "You're welcome, just call me Xie Jin."

After saying this, although Xie Jin remained calm on the surface, she had already carefully looked Huanhuan up and down several times. Although her expression did not seem to be deliberate, Huanhuan still noticed the probing meaning in her eyes.

Huanhuan felt a little awkward. It would be rude not to reciprocate, so she also looked at Miss Xie Jin.

Miss Xie Jin in front of him was about the same height as Huanhuan. She was tall and slender, wearing a light pink brocade long gown with unique flowers embroidered on the edges, cuffs, and hem of the gown. The embroidery was very exquisite, and it was obvious that it was done by an experienced embroiderer. Her face was smooth, and her long eyebrows were carefully drawn, and her rouge and light makeup showed that she was dignified and beautiful.

"Sister Xie Jin is Brother Xie Shen's younger sister. We have often played together since we were young." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Xiangyue broke the silence and introduced her slowly.

She slowly recalled that when she first got married and visited the Xie family, she had heard that the Xie brothers and sisters had grown up with Xu Qu. She said, "I remember when I first got married, I heard that Uncle Xie had two playmates who grew up with my husband. Unfortunately, I only saw Mr. Xie Shen at that time. Today, I am honored to see the elegant appearance of Miss Xie Jin."

Xie Jin smiled faintly and said, "Young Madam, you are too kind. Young Madam is indeed a graceful and elegant lady. I am so busy with family matters that I cannot attend your wedding. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, the eldest aunt took the initiative to speak to Huan Huan, and she said, "Xie Jin is the consort of the only son of Prince Qing, and the future princess consort."

"Oh? That's really disrespectful." Huanhuan looked at Xie Jin and seemed to see a slight embarrassment on Xie Jin's face, but the unnaturalness only lasted for a blink of an eye. Xie Jin quickly regained his composure, making Huanhuan wonder if he had seen it wrong.

"No, no, I often came to the Xu Mansion to play when I was a child. I am familiar with the place and there is no need to be polite. Madam, you don't have to be polite to me." Xie Jin said with a faint smile.

After hearing this, Huanhuan felt that something seemed to be wrong. She was confused: who was the host and who was the guest between her and Xie Jin? However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, Huanhuan's rationality suppressed it. She smiled at Xie Jin awkwardly as a response.

Mrs. Xie was still ill, so it was inconvenient for the visitors to stay for long, and they soon returned to their respective courtyards.

On the way back to the letter garden, Xiaoyu said mysteriously to Huanhuan: "Miss, everyone in Jingyuan is weird today."

Huanhuan was still thinking about Xie Jin's smile when she said goodbye just now. She admired the elegance of this prince's wife in her heart and answered casually, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoyu said: "They were all gathered in twos and threes, talking about something. As soon as I got close to them, they stopped talking. They were not like this in the past. They would tell me everything."

"Maybe it's Jingyuan's own business and they don't want other courtyards to interfere." Huanhuan said casually without taking it to heart.

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "But I still heard a few words. It seems that some young man had been engaged to the lady in the mural."

Huanhuan stopped when she heard this and asked, "Are you sure you heard it right? We have been in the Xu Mansion for so long, and we have never heard of your husband getting engaged. Did you hear which mural depicted this lady?"

Xiaoyu pouted and said, "That's all I heard. I don't know anything else."

He said slowly: "It's okay, we can go back and ask."

After saying this, the master and servant walked quickly towards Xin Garden.
