Chapter 5 Together
Mrs. Situ pulled her daughter and talked for a while, for fear that she would have to ask every bit clearly if she had not had a good time outside all these years, if it weren't for Situ Ningbing's brain, she would have been confused by her sooner. The mother and daughter asked and answered, Mrs. Situ had to send two sentences of emotion from time to time, crying a few times "Poor son...", before she knew it, it was already sunset, and Mrs. Situ was reminded by Mama Jin that she suddenly remembered that her daughter should be hungry after saying it for so long, and hurriedly instructed her subordinates to set the meal.
When the meal was set, everyone sat down and listened to the report from the mother-in-law outside: "The master and the eldest young master are back." ”
Situ Ningbing raised his eyes and looked at the door when he heard this, and there was a faint expectation in his heart, he hadn't seen him for ten years, and he didn't know if his father had added a touch of wind and frost?
After a while, two almost tall figures walked in one after the other, walking in front of a middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard, with a tall and steady foot, although it was a Sven appearance, it exuded a killing aura that could not be concealed, and a pair of starry eyes became deeper and deeper after years of precipitation, and the whole body was full of the unique charm of a man of this age. Situ Ningbing thought evilly: "Father is a little older, but his charm has increased unabated compared to back then, and I don't know if there are still wild bees and butterflies chasing after thousands of miles now?"
Situ Xin hadn't seen his daughter for ten years, and he was originally happy and nervous, but now when he saw that she was still a child, he couldn't help but ask with a straight face: "Ghost girl, what are you laughing at?"
Situ Ningbing was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was calling herself, and she was busy tidying up her mind, revealing a naughty smile, and said coquettishly: "My daughter saw that her father's demeanor was better than that back then, so she thought about whether the threshold of the family would be broken by the girl from Mobei?" Situ Xin was a first-class beautiful man when he was young, and he had been stationed in Mobei for a period of time. At that time, Situ Ningbing was still young and didn't remember much, but he was deeply impressed by his father's troubles.
"Ahem... You dead girl!" Situ Xin coughed awkwardly when he heard this, and he didn't forget to sneak a glance at Mrs. Situ twice, looking like he was afraid of the roar of the lion in Hedong, and the wind of a battle-hardened general was gone.
As the eldest son in the family, at this time, of course Situ Jihua has to stand up for his father to relieve the siege, "My sister is still so naughty, she just came home and teased her father, beware that your father will send you to the border like he did with Qiming!"
Although Situ Ningbing had been talking to his father, he had already noticed the heroic young man behind him, wearing an inky black dark cloud pattern brocade robe, which made his face more and more handsome and extraordinary, Situ Ningbing thought proudly, this is her eldest brother.
"Big brother, don't bluff me, my father is reluctant. Situ Ningbing was not ashamed to continue to be coquettish.
Situ Xin listened to his daughter's sweet and glutinous voice, and suddenly lost his anger, and the tension of reuniting after a long absence was replaced by the spoiling in his heart. I couldn't pull it off for a while, so I had to cough heavily and said with a hard face: "Such a big person, he is still like a child, and he is not afraid of your aunt and cousin's jokes!"
Yang Shi smiled when he mentioned himself and joked: "My niece is so close to the general, it's too late to envy me, where can I laugh?" glanced at Duguxiu intentionally or unintentionally, and complained: "My daughter is good at everything, but she is too regular, and she never knows how to be a coquettish mother with me." A joke made Duguxiu a little at a loss, Situ Ningbing only felt that the relationship between the mother and daughter was indescribably weird.
Mrs. Situ listened to them and put vegetables in Situ Ningbing's bowl, and when she lowered her head by chance, Situ Ningbing was stunned to find that her bowl was full of chickens, ducks, fish, and all kinds of things she didn't eat.
"What are you staring at the bowl, kid?" Madame Situ couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that she was just staring.
"Reply to Mrs...."Without waiting for the master to open his mouth, he consciously explained for her: "Miss is a perennial vegetarian and does not touch meat. ”
Mrs. Situ has been immersed in the joy of her daughter's "lost and regained", and she didn't notice much pity, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Situ's eyes suddenly fell on her. A beautiful and delicate girl, with picturesque eyebrows, high breasts and thin waist, although not as beautiful as her niece, she is also superior. Look at her down-and-out and generous, her demeanor is much stronger than that of some daughters of the family!
Seeing that Mrs. Situ was looking at her a little uncomfortably, she looked at Situ Ningbing as if asking for help.
"Mother" Situ Ningbing knew Mrs. Situ's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "Her name is Jianlian is my personal maid, and she has taken care of my daily life over the years, and she is a very clever girl." "Seeing the pity and appearance, if you are born in the family of the eunuch and the powerful, you must be a star-studded person, and being a maid is indeed wronged, no wonder my mother is worried that she can't control it.
Listening to the master's introduction to Mrs. Situ, he saw that he was busy and stepped forward to salute respectfully, "The slave has seen Madame." After following Situ Ningbing for so many years, she naturally saw that Mrs. Situ was wary of herself, and she could not take others to heart, but this was Miss's mother, how dare she be contemptuous?
Seeing that she was thoughtful and respectful, Mrs. Situ was not embarrassed, so she only said "um" and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”
Seeing that he heard this, he slowly got up and retreated behind Situ Ningbing, standing with his hands down.
A small episode did not affect the family to talk about the family, and Mrs. Situ's attention returned to her daughter, although she muttered, "What kind of vegetarian do you eat well, this child?" she still ordered the kitchen to make a table of exquisite vegetarian food, and then persevered in serving her daughter's vegetables, as if she had not eaten in ten years outside. Situ Ningbing had a very good attitude and didn't refuse, but her eating speed was so slow that it was outrageous, and when everyone couldn't eat anymore and looked at her, she used up the small half bowl of rice, and then took the tea cup handed over by Jianlian and rinsed her mouth, rubbed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief on one wall and looked at everyone on the other side and smiled elegantly: "I have eaten it, you can use it slowly." ”
Situ Xin looked at the flawless elegant smile on his daughter's face, and didn't know whether to be sad or happy, this girl had not cultivated to become an immortal but had become a fox after following the master's cultivation over the years!
Because this meal was very long, everything that should be said had already been said at the dinner table, and after the plate was removed, Situ Ningbing took the opportunity to leave with his brother. When Mrs. Situ saw that she was leaving, she pointed to the two pretty maids beside her and said, "You just came back and there are no useful people around you, they have served by my side for a few years, they are all smart and capable, and they will serve by your side in the future." As he spoke, he raised his head at the two maids, and the two maids looked at each other and stepped forward to salute Situ Ningbing, "Slave Yuhe and slave Suyun have seen Miss." ”
Situ Ningbing looked them up and down through the light, the one on the left with a red narrow sleeve skirt had a beautiful face and a graceful body, and the maid on the right with a water-green dark coat was slightly thin but also had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was a beauty. Mrs. Situ explained on the side: "The one in the red clothes is Yuhe, and the one in the green clothes is called Su Yun, and she is the daughter of your nurse Mama Xue. ”
"Since you are the person next to your mother, don't you have no one to serve me? "These two maids are really good and are used to serving Mrs. Situ by their side, Situ Ningbing prefers them to stay with their mother.
"What stupid things are you talking about, this kid! How can there be a young lady of the family who has only one maid to serve? Besides, there are so many people in the mother's yard, and there are two people who are missing, and there are two big maids left in your Pearl Garden, how can you serve them all these years? Let Yuhe Suyun follow and help Mama Xue to train the maids below, so as to save the slave who is not long-eyed from watching you be so good-natured, sneaking and playing tricks!" "No matter what Situ Ningbing is like in her bones, in the eyes of Mrs. Situ, she will always be the child who is docile and well-behaved, and anyone can bully."
"Your mother is right. Yang also echoed on the side, "You have been outside for a long time, and you don't know that the minions in this family are used to seeing the wind and making the rudder bully, and you are a young lady who naturally doesn't understand the actions of the minions, and there are a few maids around you who can be used to remind you from time to time not to be deceived by the minions below." ”
"My aunt is right, it's Allure's lack of thought. "I can't shirk it left and right, and Situ Ningbing no longer wastes his tongue, so he simply accepts it," the daughter thanked her mother for the reward. ”
Mrs. Situ nodded with satisfaction and waved her son and daughter to go back to rest, and Yang and Duguxiu also got up to say goodbye. Out of the Tianxiang Pavilion, Situ Jihua said goodbye to his sister, aunt and cousin and went to the outer courtyard alone. Situ Ningbing's Pearl Garden is on a different road from the Yang mother and daughter to the east of the Tianxiang Pavilion, and she also broke up with the Yang mother and daughter as soon as her brother left.
Returning to the Pearl Garden, which had been away for ten years, Situ Ningbing had no heart to miss the past, and rested after bathing and changing clothes under the service of Mama Xue and the maids. It's just that before going to sleep, she specially called the ice slave and ordered directly: "Go and find out what is the relationship between Duguxiu and the Yang family?
