Xiao Baoxin had a friendly personality. When the other party showed kindness, she would return the kindness. If she were to mock the hot wind coldly and insinuate at the beginning, she would let herself go and not be polite.
âEldest Lady Xiao, ignore them. They know how to make fun of me.â
Xie Wan stepped forward and introduced the three of them.
Chu Lingzi and Xie Wan were cousins, and their mothers were biological sisters. There was no need to talk about their relationship. They slept on the same bed since they were young and changed their clothes. They were extremely close. A few days ago, she fell ill with a cold, so much so that she didnât have time to celebrate Old Xie Furenâs birthday.
Wang Qiongâs mother was the eldest daughter of the Xie familyâs side branch, and she had just passed the filial period. In terms of age, he was older than Xiao Baoxin by half a year and would be sixteen at the end of the year.
Her husband was the eldest son of the Chu family, and she was the sister-in-law next door to Chu Liuniang.
âLady Xiao, you all know.â
Xie Wanâs introduction made Xiao Baoxinâs reputation resound like thunder. Wang Qiang and Chu Lingzi looked at each other and smiled.
âBig Lady Xiao is straightforward and is a role model for our generation.âChu Lingzi joined her hands and smiled. She had a lively personality and whatever she said made people find her cute and interesting.
Seeing that the three of them were getting along well, Xie Wan said to Wang and Chu,
âEldest Lady Xiaoâs thread is precious, Iâve been looking forward to the stars and the moon but it didnât come, so 1 can only be rude and leave the thread first.â
Xie Wan was half-complaining and half-teasing. Her expression was relaxed, completely different from the way she was at Old Madam Xieâs birthday banquet that day.
Xiao Baoxin hurriedly begged for mercy. Iâve wanted to invite you for a long time, but you also know that our Xiao family and I were in the limelight a while ago. Isnât it because Iâm afraid that Iâll burden you?â
âIf 1 was afraid that you would be tired, 1 wouldnât let you post to me.âXie Wanâs expression was magnanimous, and there was a noble and hard aura in her bones.
âYou are not afraid, but I have to consider it.â
Chu Lingzi clapped again.â Yes, Lady Xiao is right. Youâre not afraid, but I have to considerâ¦This is the way to make friends.â
âThis world is too harsh on women. There are many rules and regulations that restrict people. As long as they go out of line, they seem to have committed a shocking crime.â
Wang Qiong was about to get married, but her thoughts were different.
âReputation is for people to see and talk about. Lady Xiao has a straightforward personality, so she suffered a loss.â
â Itâs alright.â Xiao Baoxin smiled.â 1 beat them back when they said it to my face.â As for what he said behind his back, I donât care that much. But at least I didnât listen. Out of sight, out of mind.â
Chu Lingzi laughed out loud.
The four ladies were chatting fervently. Because the festival was usually held in the evening, the whole day was their free time. The ladies all had their own ideas, and they were having fun with one idea after another.
It was rare for Xiao Baoxin to meet a lady of the same age who was not picky and casual. In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
The sky gradually darkened. The maids placed the table in the courtyard and began to place the prepared needles, thread, fruits, and fruits on it. Another book table was placed in front of Fifteen Niang.
Xiao Baoxin was still suspicious when he saw Wang Qiang pick up the small curved knife on the table and cut down. In just a moment, the melon that was still emitting a fruity fragrance had already been carved into a long-eared rabbit in the blink of an eye.
âEh?â
Before Xiao Baoxin could be surprised, Wang Qiongâs table was already filled with little foxes, little hedgehogs, and even phoenixes with even more impressive carving skills.
âYou know why the two of them are making fun of me like this.âXie Wan saw that Xiao Baoxin was making a fuss and had not seen the world. She knew that this was a fellow fan and immediately appreciated him.
âFifteen Niang is extremely skillful, she is good at needlework and painting; As for Liuniang, she was just teasing me for no reason. She was only better than me at embroidery flowers, plants, fish, and insects.â
âStop talking nonsense. The Craft-begging Festival is your festival. Quickly pray to the heavens and reward you with a skillful hand. Otherwise, when you get married in the future, you wonât even be able to embroider a mandarin duck. How regretful will your husband be? Other peopleâs clothes, scarves, and other personal clothes are all made by the madam, but your husband is like a duck that doesnât look like anything. His mouth is longer than his feet.âZhu Liuniang shook her head.
Xie Wan was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red. She pounced on her and tore her mouth.
âHow old are you? Why donât you shut your mouth? Later, Iâll tell Auntie to quickly decide on a husband for you. This girl is really longing for love.â
Zhu Liuniang laughed as she called out. âYou donât have to worry about that. My mother is looking at me now.â
Xie Wan did not know whether to laugh at her or tease her. She pointed at Chu Lingzi and was speechless for a long time.
âYou two crazy girls.â Wang Qiong shook her head and instructed the maid to place the carved fruits on the offering table while washing her hands.
He smiled at Xiao Baoxin.â You wonât find it strange if you see more of them in the future. These two people will fight everywhere they go.â If they didnât see it, they would miss it, and if they saw it, they would fight like cockfighting, pinching it until their eyes turned black.â
âThey have a good relationship.â Xiao Baoxin said emotionally.
Xie Wan looked at him with a faint smile.â
âThatâs right, 1 heard that the Xingping County Head and the He familyâs mistress had a fight on the spot because of you, and the marriage was even canceled.âChu Lingzi widened her eyes curiously. She looked at Xiao Baoxin and then at Xie Wan.
âWhy didnât you invite her?â
Xiao Baoxin was helpless.â Please spare me. Weâre all thousand-year-old foxes. Who canât tell that thereâs some demonic aura?ââ
She did not believe that Xie Wan could not tell. Otherwise, she would not have accepted Xiao Jing âaiâs post as if she had not received it.
âAs expected.â Chu Lingzi pursed her lips. She had seen Xiao Jing âai from afar before. At that time, she had disliked Xiao Jingâ aiâs pitiful appearance. She blinked her eyes at every turn as if everyone wanted to make things difficult for her.
A few days ago, it was rumored that she could not stand the humiliation of her sisters and contradicted her future mother-in-law, resulting in the annulment of the engagement on the spot. Chu Liuniang was even secretly alarmed and thought that she had judged a book by its cover and blamed her wrongly.
In the end, it was really a slap in the face.
Wang Qiang didnât go over to join in the fun. Instead, she walked to the confession table.
Every family had their own difficulties. There were good and bad fruits on a tree, not to mention that they were not sisters who came out of the same motherâs womb.
âWifey, itâs time.â The maid came forward to remind him.
Xie Wan and the others then went forward to thread the thread.
The needle was not an ordinary needle. There were seven extremely thin holes on the needle. The darker the sky was, the more difficult it looked, let alone passing through the five-colored thread with his bare hands.
With Xiao Baoxinâs martial arts, not only was she proficient in all eighteen weapons, but she was also quite confident in her ability to see things clearly. However, she had never succeeded in this activity even after many years of doing as the locals did.
The begging for cleverness festival was over when they prayed to the moon in Jingling and the Weaver Girl. It was a light and delicate knot, but she had to change the place to make so many tricks, which made her seem clumsy.
Throw!
Xiao Baoxin threw the third broken seven-hole needle on the table..
