Chapter 157

A street in the west of the capital is the most prosperous, with many shops, among which Jinyu Pavilion is the most popular among women.

The Jinyu Pavilion is magnificent, and all the jewelry and rouge from the daughter's family are displayed inside. The second floor has silk satin and some exquisite dresses, and the third floor has some small weapons, such as daggers and the like.

On the West Street, a beautiful woman was looking at the woman beside her, and said helplessly: "Qinghe and beautiful, why do you have to cover your face with green gauze?"

Xia Qinghe wore green clothes, and a pair of moist eyes appeared on the face covered by the green veil, "Aunt Ying, the sun on the left and right is also poisonous, wearing a veil is completely used as a sunshade."

Yan Ying smiled and followed her.

The two came to the Jinyu Pavilion together.

Lu Cheng, the owner of Jinyu Pavilion, obviously knew many noble people, and greeted Yan Ying as soon as he saw him, with a warm smile on his face: "Madam Lin is here."

Yan Ying nodded.

Lu Cheng's eyes fell on Xia Qinghe, he was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and smiled: "I'm afraid this is Miss Yan, I see that the charm of the whole body is very extraordinary, like a family of Yan."

When someone praised her niece, Yan Ying was naturally amused, and said with a smile, "Where is it, shopkeeper Lu is joking."

Lu Cheng also laughed, and praised a few more without showing any trace.

After laughing, Yan Ying looked at Xia Qinghe, "The things in the Jinyu Pavilion are all very good, Qinghe, you can see if there is anything you like, if you like it, let Guanshi Lu wrap it up, since we have the most in the Mansion of the Marquis of the Righteousness" It is the spirit stone."

Yan Ying's words are very gentle, and her words are also cautious. In fact, not only Yan Ying, but the entire Yan family have treated Xia Qinghe with a very gentle attitude in the past few days. They thought that Xia Qinghe had been away alone for many years, so maybe they were not used to it. This kind of life, they are all cautious, for fear of hurting the little girl's self-esteem.

In contrast, Xia Qinghe was both helpless and moved.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng secretly clicked his tongue, it seems that the rumors are true, the Yan family loves this lady very much.

"Miss Yan, please come this way." Lu Cheng pointed to a place on the right, where the best jewelry in the Jinyu Pavilion was placed.

Xia Qinghe looked up, and saw a jade light shining in his eyes, the five-phoenix wreath ring in the sun, the pink glass hairpin with fine diamond tassels, the golden emerald-colored hairpin imitating butterfly wings...the designs are all exquisite and beautiful.

Xia Qinghe glanced over one by one, and landed on a dark blue stone.

The jasper is oval in shape, and its whole body is as dark as ink. The light of the night pearl above the Jinyu Pavilion hits it, as if it has been swallowed, the color is dark and gloomy, and it is unreasonably frightening.

Xia Qinghe's eyes flickered, thinking of Gu Junhua's black jade-like eyes, with a smile on his lips, he pointed to the black green stone: "That's it."

Junhua likes black and red the most, this piece of black green stone is like ink, and its shape is like an oval. It is most suitable to be used as a jade belt around the waist.

Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Miss Yan, a woman, didn't fancy jewelry, but a piece of blue stone.

"Okay, Miss Yan has good eyesight. That piece of blue stone is called Moyan Stone. It is flawless and the most beautiful, even though it is hard to see in the whole cloud." It is most suitable for... men to wear.

Although Lu Cheng was surprised in his heart, he still praised with a smile, and he could see the mellowness of the boss of Jinyu Pavilion at a glance.

Yan Ying stood aside, looking at the green stone that Xia Qinghe had chosen, and murmured in her heart, this green stone looks good, but after all, it doesn't look like something her daughter would wear. Could it be... Qinghe bought it for her father?
Thinking about it, Yan Ying asked, "Did you buy this for your father?"

Xia Qinghe shook his head, "No." Although this green stone is good, it is still a bit aggressive and not suitable for grandpa.

If you didn't buy it for your father, who would it be?Suddenly, Yan Ying's heart trembled, could it be that she bought it for another man?
Yan Ying took a closer look at Xia Qinghe again, and found that Xia Qinghe's Qingrunrun eyes had a few hints of smiles, like peach blossoms falling in dew in March, revealing a hint of girlishness.

Yan Ying's heart rang alarm bells instantly. How could she and her father forget this? Qinghe is in the prime of her life, and she is beautiful again. What if some brat catches her eye...

Xia Qinghe turned sideways, and what he saw was his aunt's rather anxious look, and raised his eyebrows: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Ying looked around, "It's nothing."

The girl's skin is thin, and the Jinyu Pavilion is not a place to talk, so I'd better wait until I get back to the mansion to question it carefully.

After Lu Cheng finished installing the green stone, Yan Ying picked out a few more items, and after they were all selected, Yan Ying led Xia Qinghe up to the second floor.

At this time, several women came in from the Jinyu Pavilion. The two women at the head, one was wearing a pleated skirt of water mist and green grass, looking delicate and charming, and the other was wearing a satin dress with red embroidered hibiscus makeup, with beautiful eyes. The room is charming and natural.

Lu Cheng greeted them with a smile. These were distinguished guests. The woman in the green dress at the head was Bailixue, the youngest daughter of the Holy Majesty, and the woman in red beside her was the eldest daughter of Duke Zhenguo, Yu Shengrao.

As soon as Bailixue came in, she saw Yan Ying, her eyes lit up, and she walked up to Yan Ying, "Aunt Lin..."

Bailixue is a princess, so it stands to reason that she doesn't have to take the initiative to greet Yan Ying, but Bailixue secretly agrees with Lin Jiafang, so every time Bailixue sees Yan Ying, she always goes up to say hello to Yan Ying.

Seeing Bailixue, Yan Ying smiled softly, "Princess also wants to pick out some jewelry?"

Bailixue nodded, glanced at Xia Qinghe at the side, her expression changed slightly, because of Lin Jia, she would pay special attention to the young women around Yan Ying, she hadn't paid attention to it for a few days, and she didn't expect that there would be a girl next to Yan Ying. woman.

Bai Lixue secretly looked at the woman in front of her, although she covered her face with a green gauze, but she was tall and her slender waist was tied with a piece of green silk. When she held it tightly, the exposed skin between her forehead was fair and delicate, and her eyes were radiant and clear. .

beauty.

This was the result of Bailixue's achievement in an instant.

Bailixue couldn't help showing a trace of hostility in her eyes, "Aunt Lin, who is this?"

"This is my niece, her name is..." Xia Qinghe touched Yan Ying, Yan Ying immediately reacted, and the words on her lips changed, "Just call her Miss Yan for now."

Xia Qinghe's biological father's surname was Chu, but the Yan family was unwilling to change Xia Qinghe's surname to "Chu", so Xia Qinghe's name was not changed. Now that Xia Qinghe lives in Yan's family, it is not an exaggeration to call her Miss Yan.

Bailixue didn't notice Yan Ying's strangeness, but only heard that Xia Qinghe was Yan Ying's niece, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the hostility in her eyes dissipated.

It's not as good as grabbing brother Jia with her.

Behind them, Yu Shengrao led a group of noble ladies to them. These noble ladies first greeted Yan Ying one by one, and then asked about Xia Qinghe's identity appropriately.

Yan Ying introduced with a smile, Qinghe has a cold temper, and she can integrate into this circle as soon as possible, and it would be great to find a few handkerchiefs to hand over.

Knowing Xia Qinghe's identity, those noble ladies twitched their lips and smiled politely, showing neither cold nor indifferent.

They all grew up in the capital since they were young. They learned the etiquette of noble girls and practiced family exercises. To be honest, they didn't have any affection for Xia Qinghe, who was living outside and his parents eloped, and even looked down upon them.

If it wasn't for Yan Ying being here today, because of her identities as Mrs. Lin and Miss Hou Fu, they probably wouldn't give Xia Qinghe any favors.

For an orphan girl, if she associates with her, wouldn't it be worthless.

Although Yan Ying had a gentle personality, she was sensitive and transparent. Feeling the attitudes of the noble ladies, her face turned cold. She said a few words and led Xia Qinghe up to the second floor.

In the same place, Yu Shengrao looked at Xia Qinghe's back, narrowing her amorous and charming eyes. She always felt that this Miss Yan looked like a person.

On the second floor, Yan Ying took Xia Qinghe's hand, "Qinghe, those noble girls..." Yan Ying raised her eyes to look at Xia Qinghe, and spoke carefully.

"I don't care." Xia Qinghe's eyes were calm, and his eyebrows were light.

"That's good." Yan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Qinghe would feel uncomfortable with the attitude of those people.

*
Two hours later, Yan Ying finally left the Jinyu Pavilion with the dress and jewelry she bought for Xia Qinghe.

The two were walking on the street, and a line of red armored soldiers in front of them was crossing the street, looking serious, as if they were looking for someone.

On the side of the road, several passers-by whispered to each other: "I've been searching for this for a few days, but I still haven't found those two bold people?"

"No, it's an evil sect, and the capital is not big, so many forces have been mobilized together, but there is no sign of those two people."

"This is strange, could it be that those two people grew wings and flew out of the capital?" One of them joked.

Xia Qinghe, who was walking by the roadside, had calm eyes and a calm demeanor, showing his deep hidden achievements and fame.

*
The two returned to Yanfu.

After dinner, Xia Qinghe came to Yanyi's study room, and as soon as he opened the door, Xia Qinghe was stunned.

The study is spacious and tidy, and there are three people sitting in front of them: Yan Yi, Yan Ling, and Yan Ying.

"Girl Qinghe, you are here, sit down quickly." Yanyi pointed to a chair below.

Xia Qinghe was seated, a little confused, her grandfather suddenly called her here, could it be something wrong?
Seeing Xia Qinghe seated, Yanyi winked at Yan Ying, Yan Ying smiled softly, and asked Xia Qinghe a few irrelevant questions.

Afterwards, Yanyi also interjected, asking nonsense, and even the taciturn Yan Ling asked Xia Qinghe a question or two.

Xia Qinghe became more and more puzzled, not knowing what happened to these three people today.

After rambling on for half an hour, Yanyi picked up the teacup, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Qinghe, do you have...someone you like these years?"

After finishing speaking, Yanyi took a sip of tea, with a calm expression, as if he was just asking casually.

Xia Qinghe was taken aback, glanced at Yan Ling and Yan Ying, and looked at the people who seemed to be indifferent but actually had their ears pricked up, and couldn't help but smile. After talking so much, it turned out that he wanted to ask this.

Xia Qinghe was speechless for a moment, Yanyi blinked, just in time to see the smile on Xia Qinghe's face, and the alarm bell went off in his heart. Could it be that Qinghe girl really likes someone with this appearance?
"Girl Qinghe?" Yan Yi raised his beard, his back was slightly stiff, and his casual tone was slightly anxious.

The beautiful and delicate granddaughter of my family has only been here for a few days, so I can't let other brats harm her.

Xia Qinghe smiled, looked at his grandfather's rather anxious appearance, fell silent, and mercilessly abandoned someone who was thousands of miles away: "Grandpa, don't worry, Qinghe has no one he likes for the time being. "

Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, leaned back on his stiff back, cleared his throat, "Well, my grandfather is just asking casually, don't take it to heart."

Seeing this, Xia Qinghe lowered his eyelashes and smiled helplessly.

Someone thousands of miles away was holding a vermilion pen to make a review. Big bright red characters fell on the paper, showing a bit of domineering arrogance. smile.

He had no idea that he had been "cruelly" abandoned by the person he cared about.

*
A day has passed in the blink of an eye, and Xia Qinghe has also learned a lot of news about the capital these days.

For example, although Yunyao is now the royal family, the power under it is intricate. Among them, Xiao Fengci is extremely powerful and ranks first among all the officials. He is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is the hottest dignitary in the capital.

In addition, the Hengwang Mansion, the Yu family, the Yan family, and the Lin family are equally powerful. Among them, the Yan family and Lin Jia have a close relationship because of their in-laws. close.

There is a faint potential for confrontation between the two sides.

Xia Qinghe sat on the desk and tapped his jade finger lightly. Although the Yan family was powerful on the surface, the biggest problem was that the Yan family did not have many children.

The grandfather's branch is the direct branch, with three children under his knees, the oldest is his uncle Yanling, the second is Aunt Ying, and the third is his mother Yanluo.

Now that her mother is missing, Aunt Ying has married into the Lin family again. Although she helps out occasionally, it is only a meager effort in the end.

Uncle Yanling, although talented, is now able to enter the Lingzong, and it is still difficult to protect the Yiyonghou Mansion.

As for... my grandfather, Xia Qinghe frowned. My grandfather's cultivation was at the seventh rank of the Lingzong. Over the years, because of his mother, he had been worrying too much, his body was not as good as before, and it was difficult for him to improve his cultivation.

The direct line is like this, and the collateral line is even more messy, embarrassing to use.

All in all, the Yiyonghou Mansion looks beautiful today, but if one day there is a storm, the Yiyonghou Mansion may be in jeopardy.

"Miss." A female voice came from outside the door.

Putting down the information in his hand, he stepped out of the room, "What's the matter?"

There was a maid standing in the courtyard, and when she saw Xia Qinghe coming out, she bent over, "Miss Ying is going back to the Lin Mansion today, Master Hou sent me to ask if she would like to see her."

Xia Qinghe nodded, and walked to the main hall of the front yard.

In the main hall, as soon as Yan Ying saw Xia Qinghe, she smiled and said, "Qinghe, my aunt is going back to Lin's mansion today, how many days do you want to stay?"

Xia Qinghe shook his head, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go."

Yan Ying didn't force her when she heard the words, "Alright then, Auntie will come to see you some other day."

"it is good."

After sending Yan Ying away, Xia Qinghe said, "Grandpa, I want to take a long trip tomorrow."

"Going out, where are you going?"

"The Forest of Glowing Clouds."

Yanyi frowned, Yunyao Forest is a distance away from the capital, and there are many dangers inside, how could a little girl like her go to such a place.

"Girl Qinghe, the Yunyao Forest is too far away from here, and you don't feel at ease going to your grandfather alone. Why don't you go to the Yunyao Forest with your grandfather when the Royal Hunting Festival arrives in a few days?"
