Chapter 26: Reminiscence
Zhang Ruoyuan paused, and praised sincerely.
"Aunt Jia's voice is very pleasant, like a tune. ”
Generally, where to start when you meet and praise people for the first time is nothing more than appearance, temperament, and conversation, but Zhang Ruoyuan avoided mentioning these, and instead praised Jia Yunshuang's beautiful voice, showing that he disliked her appearance.
If it is someone else who is so sarcastic, it may be bound to be furious, or fight back-for-tat. No matter how wide the heart is, the body will be a little unhappy. But for Jia Yunshuang, who has cultivated endurance to the home, not only will she not be angry, but she will also be happy from the bottom of her heart.
Being able to show his feelings in front of people like this fully exposes Zhang Ruoyuan's straightforward temperament and no city government. Such a person, although he has a bad temper, is the easiest to manipulate.
Zhang Ruoyuan wants to create such an illusion for Jia Yunshuang, so that she will be like her original self, relax her vigilance until there is no way back.
"Yes, no one has ever boasted like this, and I hope I can really speak. ”
Jia Yunshuang took the words with a beaming look, but the corners of his eyes inadvertently flashed with a look of inquiry, as if he was judging whether Zhang Ruoyuan's move was accidental or deliberate.
Zhang Ruoyuan smiled softly and nodded again and again.
"My mother spoke like this, and she was gentle and gentle with everyone. ”
seemed to be inadvertently mentioning his mother Shen Zhenxian quietly, the old man has passed away for many years, and the newcomer is laughing skillfully, this scene is somewhat embarrassing.
Seeing that the person who should have been left behind and should not have appeared in daily life was involved again, Jia Yunshuang subconsciously looked at Zhang Tingju's expression. Seeing that he was thinking about his wife who had been dead for many years, he was in a trance, as if he was thinking of the past that had been buried by time for a long time, and his tightly locked eyebrows inevitably revealed a little sentimentality.
She knew that Shen Zhenxian had become a scar on his heart, and whenever she saw that hideous trace, she would have a heart-wrenching pain......
But even if it was so clear, even if he had seen this situation countless times, Jia Yunshuang would still feel a faint pain with that scar. Because it is a constant reminder of its own ridiculousness and incompetence.
Jia Yunshuang suppressed the sourness in his heart, forced himself to nod, and agreed with Zhang Ruo's words against his will.
"The president's wife, Hui Zhilanxin, is blessed to be like her. ”
Now it is almost certain that Zhang Ruoyuan deliberately mentioned it, and she subconsciously didn't like herself.
But it's also reasonable, who can give a good face to the person who rushed to be his stepmother. She should be glad that such a girl is difficult to entangle, but it is not difficult to entrap.
Zhang Ruoyuan secretly looked at Jia Yunshuang's expression, and when it came to her mother, she was frank and unrestrained, as usual. That subtle resistance was hidden in the deepest part of her, so deep that no one could dig into it.
Hearing her talk about her mother, Zhang Ruoyuan pretended to be interested, and raised her lips and asked.
"Do you know my mother?"
"When the president's wife was still alive, I had the privilege of meeting a few times, but I couldn't talk about knowing each other. But her demeanor impressed me and was hard to match. ”
The corners of Zhang Ruoyuan's mouth curved upwards to outline an intriguing arc, and the end was slightly raised.
"Really?"
This may be a little more credible to others, but unfortunately, she just happened to know some unknown past of Jia Yunshuang.
More than 20 years ago, Jia Zhongping was still a little-known Jiupin foreign official in Quhe County, and it was natural that Jia Yunshuang should also stay with him in the small county of Quhe at that time and be her little jasper.
In fact, Jia Zhongping's first wife Jia Jiang and his uncle Shen Jiang were cousins of the same ancestor. After Jia Jiang's death, Jia Zhongping married the daughter of the prefect in less than a year, only to see the newcomer laughing but not the old crying. is indifferent to the concubine born by the original match, and doesn't even care if she is hungry.
Jia Jiang expected that after her death, her only daughter might be mistreated, and she would be alone when she died. Therefore, Shen Jiang has been sending people to secretly keep an eye on Jia Yunshuang, and learned that her daily life is getting worse.
After Shen Jiang's thought of the sisterhood in the past was discussed by his father-in-law and husband, he entrusted Jia Yunshuang from Quhe County to the Fuguo Mansion in the capital and raised him by his side.
Shen Jiang gave birth to three sons in a row, and she dreamed of giving birth to a caring little padded jacket, and her long-cherished wish came true, and she loved Jia Yunshuang very much. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting invited a famous master in Kyoto to teach, even if it was for his own daughter.
At that time, there were only two unmarried little girls in the huge Guogong Mansion, and because of this relationship, Shen Zhenxian, who had not left the cabinet, was very good with Jia Yunshuang, and they often chatted and played together.
At that time, Zhang Tingju and Shen Zhenxian were childhood sweethearts, the two had no guesses, the two were in love, and their family backgrounds were comparable, and the elders of both sides had already acquiesced to the marriage of the two, and they could become husband and wife as soon as the marriage period arrived.
Zhang Tingju, who couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness, often brought all kinds of rare treasures to visit the Duke of Fuguo, just to be able to say a few words to Shen Zhenxian through the screen.
It's a pity that I didn't intend to insert willows. Zhang Tingju looks like Pan An, he is better than Zijian, and he is the grandson of the old man of Zhang Ge, a young man with gold and jade, and a young man with fresh clothes and angry horses. The girl's family is the year of longing, how can she not have an idea.
What's more, Jia Yunshuang, a small family daughter who has lived in an alley since he was a child, has never seen a foreign man.
After going back and forth, Jia Yunshuang had undue thoughts about Zhang Tingju, constantly fantasizing that his doting and loving gaze on Shen Zhenxian could one day be transferred to himself.
She has become no longer as silent and silent due to low self-esteem as she was when she first arrived, but a little more lively and cheerful, and likable. She also loves to dress up, although she can't wear those expensive clothes with a stunning taste, but she finally found the most suitable dress by constantly groping. Even if it's not pretty, it's unique.
Not only that, but she also took out 120,000 points of hard work to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and ten fingers grinded out blisters, and she refused to stop.
When a woman is determined to make a difference for the person she loves, the belief of longing to match it is enough to make her persevere and persever.
A series of abnormalities soon made the discerning Shen Jiang Shi see that Jia Yunshuang was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, where was the mind and city government that were now in danger, and soon exposed his inner thoughts, crying hysterically and begging her to be fulfilled.
Shen Jiang was so shocked that she couldn't help herself, she couldn't imagine that the girl who was raised by her daughter would have such a mind. After Thunder was furious, she slowly calmed down and began to analyze the priorities.
The marriage between the two families of Zhang and Shen has been finalized for a long time, not only the two children have a soft spot, but also the interests of the two families are involved behind it, and there must be no business trip in the middle.
After just a few months of getting along, Shen Jiang knew that this child was stubborn, and leaving her to continue in the mansion would become a hidden danger.
After a night of repeated thinking, Shen Jiang finally made up his mind. Quietly instructed the mother-in-law who was waiting by Jia Yunshuang's side to feed her a bowl of soothing soup, personally packed a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and took a silver ticket that was enough for her to eat and drink for the rest of her life. arranged a few good guards to send her back to Quhe overnight without waiting for dawn.
When outsiders asked, they only said that the two girls thought about their father and went home to do their filial piety.
Although some people felt strange about Jia Yunshuang's coming and going, after all, she was just a guest in the mansion, and no one would pay too much attention to the departure of an outsider. In addition, since then, Shen Jiang's family has avoided talking about Jia Yunshuang's news, and gradually no one in the mansion has mentioned it again.
All the qiē about her disappeared, and even she seemed to have never appeared in the Guogong Mansion.
These are all things that Zhang Ruoyuan learned from Gu's mother, more than 20 years ago, Gu's mother was still a first-class maid by her mother's side.
At that time, my aunt handled the matter well, and there were few people in the house who knew that Jia Yunshuang had delusional thoughts about his father, and after those guards came back, they were also dismissed by my uncle in different names.
Coincidentally, Jia Yunshuang's mother-in-law happened to be Gu's mother and aunt, and before she was dismissed, she used the matter as a talking point after tea and dinner, and told Gu's mother in 1510.
Thinking about the consequences of saying it, Gu's mother never told her mother, and her father didn't know about it. He had never even heard the name Jia Yunshuang mentioned, and there was no way to know whether it was flat or round.
Gu's mother thought that Jia Yunshuang was just an ordinary episode in her long life, but she didn't expect that when her mother passed away and her father had been widowed for many years and was ready to continue the strings. Jia Yunshuang actually returned to her sight like a reborn and became the best candidate for his stepwife.
Gu's mother has mentioned more than once that Jia Yunshuang is not as gentle and harmless as it seems, and what is her reaction?
At that time, she always thought that her father had enough judgment power to be in his eyes, and there would be no problem with his character.
She was so well protected that she didn't understand that there was a kind of woman in the world who could change her face in front of different people, and she would not change her face without being blunt. She will be gentle and gentle in front of the people she likes, and she will pretend to be kind and considerate with ease, but she will leave no room behind her to eradicate all the obstacles that stand in her way, and Jia Yunshuang is one of them.
Although these pasts do not belong to this era, it is not difficult to reflect the slight changes in her heart from the small movements of Jia Yunshuang's hands slightly folded on her abdomen. Clearly, she was nervous.
Her nervousness just proves that she is lying.
So the modern should also coincide with the trajectory of the ancient, Jia Yunshuang and his mother have known each other for a long time!
Zhang Ruoyuan pressed forward step by step, and asked with a light smile.
"Aunt Jia, I want to take the liberty of asking, how many marriages have you had?"
Jia Yunshuang couldn't guess what the girl in front of him, who had just turned eighteen, wanted to ask and what the purpose was. That kind of perceptive gaze, as if seeing through her past and present lives, made her uncomfortable, and reluctantly replied.
"Not once. ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Ruoyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing an extremely incredible expression, as if he was smiling but not smiling.
"You are so suitable, how can no one want you? I haven't been married for many years, so I can't be waiting for anyone, right?"
