Chapter 8 What good things can Xie Yanli say with that mouth?
Xie Yanli wore a moon-white brocade robe, his posture upright like a pine tree.
His face was cold and stern, with sharp, chiseled features, sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards towards his temples, and deep, dark eyes like a cold pool. His temperament was aloof and detached, like snow-capped mountains.
Qin Jiuwei knew long ago that Xie Yanli was handsome.
But every time I see him, I'm still amazed by his appearance.
No wonder Xie Yanli is so famous in the capital.
With looks like that, it's really hard not to become famous.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly at him and called out softly, "Husband."
The clear, melodious voice of a nightingale rang in her ears again. Xie Yanli gave a cold "hmm" and sat down beside her.
When Xie Jue saw his father arrive, he grinned at him.
Xie Yanli watched this and suddenly recalled the scene from earlier that morning when Qin Jiuwei pinched his cheeks...
For some reason, I felt like pinching it myself.
But in the end I endured it.
That's incredibly frivolous.
Soon after, the other two children arrived.
The two bowed and greeted Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli one by one.
The dishes were quickly served by the maids.
Qin Jiuwei also placed Xie Jue on a chair to the side, telling him to eat by himself later.
Although she likes children, she doesn't spoil them.
Some habits need to be formed from childhood.
Xie Jue was somewhat unwilling and hummed softly twice.
However, he also knows that he is no longer a three-year-old child and can feed himself.
Xie Jue sighed.
Sigh, I wish I didn't grow up so fast.
But after sitting down, her little body still unconsciously moved a few more inches closer to Qin Jiuwei.
Soon, everyone noticed that Xie Jue was acting very strangely today.
Xie Jingchun raised an eyebrow. In the past, his third brother would be busy eating, but in the end, he hadn't even finished half a bowl of rice.
But today I ate so much, like a piglet just released from the pen.
Xie Yanli naturally noticed Xie Jue's completely different behavior from usual.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jiuwei resolved this matter so easily?
Xie Yanli's gaze fell on Qin Jiuwei, and his eyes immediately froze for a moment.
Qin Jiuwei had excellent table manners, and her movements when picking up her chopsticks were gentle and elegant.
She chews her food gently, her lips moving slightly without making a sound.
Xie Yanli looked at her with a hint of curiosity.
He had seen ordinary officials' daughters eat, but none of them had such proper etiquette.
The last time I saw people eating like this was at a palace banquet, when I saw the imperial concubines dining.
But... Qin Jiuwei's demeanor was more pleasing to the eye than theirs.
Xie Yanli lowered his eyes and pursed his thin lips.
It's just a meal; what does it matter how beautiful it looks?
He lowered his head and drank the black chicken soup in his bowl.
But after a short while, he couldn't help but look up at her again.
Qin Jiuwei naturally noticed Xie Yanli's gaze as well.
Why are you staring at her instead of eating properly?
Qin Jiuwei was speechless, but she still pretended to be very gentle.
"What's wrong, my husband? Is the food not to your liking?"
Xie Yanli's voice was indifferent as ice, "It's nothing."
Qin Jiuwei was speechless at his cold attitude.
...She shouldn't have asked.
What good things can Xie Yanli say with that mouth of his?
afternoon.
Zhang, the old lady's maid, arrived, bringing with her a lot of fine fabrics, medicinal herbs, and spices.
Qin Jiuwei knew, of course, that the reason why Old Madam Xie treated her so well was because of Xie Yanli.
This is the benefit of choosing to marry into the family and become the eldest grandson's wife.
Everything in the entire Marquis's mansion will revolve around Qinglan Courtyard, which is much more comfortable than when they were in the palace and had to be mindful of the Imperial Household Department's wishes.
When I first entered the palace, life was really tough.
When Granny Zhang was about to leave, Qin Jiuwei didn't forget to instruct Xiaohe to give her some reward money.
"Thank you for making this trip, Granny Zhang."
Zhang Mama was a trusted confidante of Madam Xie, so naturally we had to cultivate a good relationship with her.
One sentence from her is more effective than a hundred sentences from others.
Granny Zhang weighed the purse in her hand, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"Young Madam, you flatter me. This old servant still needs to return to Yi'an Courtyard to report, so I'll take my leave now."
Qin Jiu nodded slightly and instructed Xiao He to escort Zhang Mama out properly.
She turned and instructed, "Call the children over here and measure their foot size."
The worst thing you can do when raising children is to treat them all unfairly. I mentioned before that I would make new shoes for Xie Jingchun, so naturally the other two children should have new shoes too.
"Good girl." Qin Jiuwei picked up a piece of fabric. "Do you like it? How about I make you some new shoes?"
Xie Jue was nestled in Qin Jiuwei's arms. His originally dark, grape-like eyes were now veiled with a thin layer of mist, and his little head was nodding.
He mumbled to himself, "I like it, I like sleeping..."
As he spoke, his eyes slowly closed.
Qin Jiuwei was both amused and exasperated, so she ordered Xie Jue to be placed on the couch next to her, took off his shoes, and measured the size of his feet.
Xie Jingchun arrived quickly.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to my mother."
Qin Jiu nodded with a smile, "Come here quickly, let me measure your foot size."
Xie Jingchun is not old, but he has already grown very tall.
The tall young boy had red ears and tightly pursed lips, looking very nervous.
Xie Jingchun slowly took off his shoes.
The embroiderer half-squatted down, took out a soft measuring tape, first measured the length of his foot, and then carefully measured the width of his foot and the size of his ankle.
While measuring, he instructed the maid beside him to write it down.
Xie Jingchun felt a little embarrassed. Even before he came to the Marquis's residence, no one had ever measured his feet so carefully.
After Qin Jiuwei finished taking measurements, she continued, "Let's choose the fabric for the shoes next."
Xie Jingchun nodded slightly, his usually leopard-like eyes softening unconsciously.
He pursed his lips and said softly, "Thank you, Mother." She's been so kind to him.
Qin Jiuwei slightly curved her lips.
At that moment, a maid's voice rang out from the doorway, "Young Master Jing."
Xie Jing slowly walked into the house and respectfully bowed, "Mother."
Qin Jiuwei immediately said gently, "Jing-ge'er, you're here. Come over quickly and let the embroiderer take your measurements."
"Thank you, Mother." Xie Jing said respectfully and gently.
But his demeanor was too mature and composed, unlike Xie Jingchun's earlier.
