Chapter 013: Beautiful Cousins
An elderly grandmother beside Mrs. Cheng stepped forward and introduced three wives from other houses to Cheng Song with a smile, and Cheng Song officially gave the junior salute one by one.
At the end, the grandmother walked around to Mrs. Cheng again, and the two girls sitting on the couch had already gotten up, hanging their heads and looking shy.
"This is Miss Huo San in Mrs. Qingu's mansion. Mama motioned to the old lady Cheng on her left hand side who was wearing a small sleeved gown embroidered with red and white plums, a white pleated skirt sprinkled with flowers, a hanging hair and a small bun, and only decorated with pearl combs, and said, "The second master is half a year old, and the third girl is half a year old, so she should be called cousin." ”
"Cousin Huo. Cheng Song bowed.
"Cousin Song. Miss Huo San returned the salute sideways, and after getting up, she pinched the handkerchief to block her face and peeked at Cheng Song, and was blushing by the handsome appearance of the young man.
Mama gestured to the girl in yellow who had just been stopped by Mrs. Cheng and said, "This is the eldest girl of Mrs. Luan's mother's family, the eldest girl of the palace, who is also a few months younger than the second master, and is also the cousin of the second master. ”
"Cousin Gong. Cheng Song saluted.
The palace girl had a pair of smart apricot eyes, and looked generously at the prince of Lu Guo and Cheng Erye, who had fascinated many noble girls in Beijing after only half a year of returning.
Sure enough, he is a beautiful man! Not only is he good-looking, but his posture is even more upright! The heroic air in his gestures is a temperament that those high-ranking families or the children of official eunuchs in Beijing do not have.
"Second Brother Cheng is good. The eldest girl of the palace returned the salute, "My name is Gong Jing, if the second brother doesn't dislike calling me Jing'er, my cousin and cousin are estranged." ”
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Luan Si both laughed when they heard this, and Mrs. Luan Si even raised her hand and nodded at Gong Jing and scolded with a smile: "This girl is not quiet when she beats a child, my sister-in-law doesn't know how many gray hairs she has lost in order to make her more demure." ”
"What's wrong with this, this little lady is only interesting when she gets together with quiet and moving. Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "If they are all demure and sit in one place without talking, what does it mean?
The four wives present all smiled and said "yes", but the smile on Aunt Qin's face was a little far-fetched.
Cheng Song did not lose a smile on his lips, but he ignored the bold and hot eyes of the palace girl, but walked to his mother Lan and stood still.
Twenty years ago, the Lan family went to the capital of Great Wei with the tribute of Nanshuo, and was subsequently married to Cheng Yuan, the son of the Duke of Lu. Twenty years have passed, and she is still as simple and beautiful as she was when she was treated well by her husband's family and loved by her husband and son, and at first glance her appearance is no different from that of a woman in her twenties, and she can't tell that she is already a thirty-six-year-old woman.
Lan looked at her son with disgust, she didn't like Cheng Song to run to the barracks like Mrs. Cheng. But when her son was ten years old, he secretly followed his father to join the army, and seven years have passed, and Cheng Song is no longer a child that she and Mrs. Cheng can manage.
Seeing Cheng Song's perfunctory attitude towards the two cousins, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
If this man is too good-looking, it's really not a good thing! Look at the beautiful scenery of Lan and Cheng Song, the mother and son in one place, and the other ladies in the house are lined with gray and colorless!
I don't know what kind of peerless woman can be worthy of her grandson.
There were female dependents, and it was inconvenient for Cheng Song to stay in the inner hall for a long time, so he retired and left after standing for a while.
When he returned to his yard, Cheng Song couldn't help but think of the little woman who ran into the carriage today.
is accustomed to seeing the amazing expressions of men and women when they first see his appearance, but it is the first time that Cheng Song has encountered someone who looks disgusted at the first sight of him, which is strangely interesting.
As soon as the novel thought flashed, Cheng Song left it behind, and even forgot the promise he made to the little woman that he would "repay the favor" in the future.

Xie Fuya took two girls with her when she went back to her parents' house, and when she came back, she only brought one like a poem, which inevitably made people think too much. It's just that no one can ask others why the personal girl is missing, and there are only many speculations in private.
Cai Sanye Cai Chengchuan walked around the backyard garden for two days in a row when he lent the opportunity to the old lady Chen's greetings, but he couldn't meet the picturesque girl who was a little strange.
If it was usual, the picturesque girl had been waiting for him somewhere in the garden, and when she saw her face calling "Third Master" with a delicate face, she twisted her small body and her eyes fluttered like a streamer hook, which tickled Cai Chengchuan's heart.
Although Cai Chengchuan is a good color, he also cares about the picturesque sister-in-law's personal girl, if he is contaminated, he is afraid that he will be in trouble, but he is worried about it in his heart. I was thinking about further holding my little hand, kissing my little mouth, and gently teasing a few times, looking for an opportunity to take people down...... The picturesque girl didn't appear again!
Cai Chengchuan is a gentleman in the outer courtyard, and it is not easy to inquire about the girl in the inner courtyard, so he asked his personal servant to find a familiar inner courtyard girl to inquire.
In Sheng Shiyuan, the girl Ruxue had just reported something to her master's grandmother, and she hung her head nervously at this time.
When Xie Fuya got married, she brought four girls to accompany the marriage, and several people in the house did not wait in the house, but took care of her dowry outside. Uncle Chengyi's Mansion also assigned two girls to the courtyard, Xie Fuya changed her name to Ruxue and Ruyu, and they were responsible for some trivial chores on weekdays, or serving Cai Chengshan.
Fang Cai Ruxue was ordered to go to the big kitchen to ask for white fungus soup, and when she came back, she looked uneasy. Rushi saw that her expression was wrong, so she called over to ask, only to know that Cai Sanye's little servant Shengzi blocked her outside the kitchen and asked some things about the picturesque.
As soon as Rushi heard this, she brought Ruxue to her second grandmother, Xie Fuya, and asked her to repeat the matter.
Xie Fuya was not surprised that Cai Sanye would ask about the picturesque, after all, the meat hanging from his mouth had not been eaten, how could he not be worried in his heart?
Katsuko pestered the slave and maid to ask questions, and the slave and maid thought that marrying a man was not something that could not be said, so they told him everything. Ruxue whispered.
"You're doing a great job. Xie Fuya nodded and praised, "You're right, like you, who have served the master faithfully for many years, it's a happy event to be able to marry out and be the head lady of the family, there is nothing to say." Like a poem, I appreciated the pair of plum blossom bracelets in my jewelry box like snow. ”
"Grandma, the slave doesn't dare to accept ......it! This is what the slave should do, how can she afford this expensive reward from her grandmother!" Ruxue was so panicked that she almost knelt down.
Rushi picked out the pair of silver handpieces from the box and came to Ruxue, took Ruxue's hands and comforted: "Look at your panic, grandma will take it when she rewards something,"
Ruxue took the things, and after thanking Xie Fuya, Fu Shen retreated.
Xie Fuya picked up the scripture she had just read and continued to read, and twisted the agate beads in her hand one by one.
