Chapter 48: Stirring Up a Storm
Old Man Sheng's eyes were like torches, how could he not know that those people were playing dirty and unsightly thoughts in their hearts, and he said quietly: "Old Song entrusted her to me to take care of before he died, and I promised him that as long as I was there, I would not let anyone bully her." β
It's not loud, but it's loud. As soon as Old Man Sheng's words came out, many people's hearts were shocked, and their thoughts that shouldn't have been put away obediently.
Old Man Sheng looked at Song Xixi and smiled meaningfully, "If there is no accident, it won't be long before I have good news to tell you." β
Judging from Old Man Sheng's biased attitude towards Song Xixi just now, it was not difficult for them to guess what the "good news" in his mouth meant.
If there is no accident, Song Xixi is about to marry into the Sheng family.
As for who she is going to marry...... It's not hard to guess.
Old Man Sheng's two eldest sons are already married, and although the youngest son Sheng Yanyi is single and unmarried, he was engaged to the daughter of the Zhou family early.
Therefore, the one who marries Song Xixi can only be the grandchildren, and among the grandchildren, only Sheng Tingchen has reached the marriageable age.
It turned out that Song Xixi was Sheng Tingchen's fiancΓ©e.
"Mr. Sheng has had a lot of happy events recently, congratulations. β
"I don't know how to beat around the bush when I speak, here, I wish Mr. Sheng an early realization of the long-cherished wish of four generations in the same house. β
"Yes, I wish Mr. Sheng an early hug of his great-grandson. β
......
Song Xixi secretly rolled his eyes.
Her eyes unintentionally swept over Sheng Yanyi, and saw that his eyes sank a little, and a chill shrouded his body.
His coffin face...... Could it be that which hero had the audacity to step on the tiger's tail when she didn't pay attention?
Song Xixi patiently waited for those people to say all the auspicious and festive compliments such as "early birth of a noble son" and "a hundred years of good harmony", and then slowly took out the birthday gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Grandpa Sheng, this is the "Pine Crane New Year" I painted for you personally, I hope you can like it. β
"Okay, good, you have a heart!" Old Man Sheng took the painting from Song Xixi's hand, spread it on the long table and slowly opened it, looked at it carefully for a long time, raised his head to look at Song Hope, and exclaimed: "Xixi, this "Pine Crane New Year" is really painted by you?"
"Yes. Song Xixi nodded heavily, "I don't have good painting skills, I hope Grandpa Sheng won't dislike it." β
"The sun is rising in the distance, the mountains and rivers are natural and elegant, the pine trees are straight and steep, you look carefully at these two cranes, and the emotional momentum is very vivid. The ink shows spirituality, the color is elegant, and it is indeed a rare and good painting!"
The one who spoke was an old man with slightly frosty white temples, who was about the same age as Old Man Sheng, and his name was Tang Jingyuan.
Everyone here knows that Tang Jingyuan is obsessed with calligraphy and has studied paintings, since he is full of praise, naturally no one dares to say that Song Xixi is not good at painting.
"The crane has a thousand years of longevity, and the pine cone is fruitful and blessed. The artistic conception is high, the meaning is wonderful, Miss Song's mind is ingenious!"
"It's a silk painting, right?"
"I'll see...... This is indeed a silk painting. The difficulty of silk painting is much greater than that of Chinese painting, and Miss Song is really too careful. β
"I don't know if you have noticed, Miss Song is not only superb in painting, but also good at writing. Look at this calligraphy is strong and powerful, and the rhyme is smart, and it is really like a person. β
......
Song Xixi: "......"
These people are not far behind. Song Xixi knew in her heart that the object of their flattery was not her, but the old man Sheng who had just supported her in public.
There was an endless stream of compliments around him, which sounded particularly harsh to Song Pei'er, the hands hanging down at his side were clenched into fists, and his nails were inserted into his palms but he didn't feel any pain at all.
The eyes full of jealousy were about to overflow, and when he turned sideways to see that Song Xiuming was not there, he leaned close to Dai Xueyuan's ear and said resentfully: "Mom, why didn't I know that Song Xixi, a little slut, could draw?"
Dai Xueyuan was also full of doubts, she never knew that Song Xixi could paint, and she could paint so well. Her face was very ugly, "We used to underestimate this little slut, and we hid it really deeply!"
She always thought that Song Xixi was a mud that couldn't support the wall, but who knew that this little slut was hiding and tucking, and he turned out to be a powerful character who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.
Hunting geese all day long, he was finally pecked blind by geese.
"Mom, hurry up and think of a way. I just can't see this little slut swaggering. Song Pei'er was a little anxious, tonight's Song Xixi was out of the limelight, and she seemed to be able to imagine that in the near future, Song Xixi would marry the Sheng family.
"Grandpa, I have seen this "Pine Crane New Year" at Teacher Bai Yannian before. β
In a peaceful compliment, Sheng Jiayi's slightly sharp voice was extra abrupt, like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
The implication of Sheng Jiayi's words is: "Pine Crane New Year" was bought by Song Xixi from someone else, but she lied and claimed that it was painted by herself.
Dai Xueyuan looked like watching a play, her tense face eased a lot, patted Song Pei'er on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient! someone can't wait to jump out to clean her up for us." β
Song Pei'er's clenched fists loosened, the corners of her mouth sneered, and she asked suspiciously, "When did Song Xixi provoke Sheng Jiayi?"
Speaking of arrogance and arrogance, in the celebrity circle of Sichuan City, Sheng Jiayi must be on the list, and it is the kind that firmly occupies the top three.
Relying on the family situation, the toe is outrageous. But the backstage is really strong, and many people only dare to be angry.
"From the day when Old Man Sheng forcibly asked Song Xixi to marry Sheng Tingchen, Song Xixi had already offended Sheng Yanming's family. β
Ruan Lingfang's eyes are above the top, and she has always wanted to find a woman with a family background like Zhou Yurou as her daughter-in-law to consolidate their position in the Sheng family. Our Song family is different from the past, so naturally we can't get into her eyes. But Old Man Sheng liked Song Xixi very much, and they had to swallow their anger. β
Dai Xueyuan continued to say coldly: "As long as Sheng Jiayi has evidence to prove that Song Xixi's "Pine Crane New Year" was not painted by herself, but she bought it back from someone else. After tonight, Song Xixi will become the biggest joke in Chuancheng, and he will also lose Old Man Sheng's trust and liking. β
"Pei'er, since someone has helped us teach that little slut a lesson, let's watch the show quietly. β
was questioned in public, Song Xixi was still calm and calm, his expression was unshocked, as if Mount Tai was about to top and was indifferent.
The corners of her mouth hooked up slightly, and her voice was extremely calm, "Listening to the meaning of Miss Jiayi's words, I suspect that this "Pine Crane New Year" was not painted by me, right?"
