487 Confession
Feng Qiao pinched his palm, feeling a little sweaty, listening to Shao Sitong's comfort, his heart actually didn't slow down much.
In the last life, she had a weak kinship, and there were only people in the third room of the Feng family around her, although Dafang and Mrs. Feng had always lived, they were only full of resentment towards her, and she had never had relatives next to her except for drawing a little guilt and warmth from Feng Changyi.
In this life, the Feng family has fallen, but my father is still there, and I have found someone from the Weng family again.
Weng Shiwei and Shao Sitong treated her very well, and the old man Weng's previous letters were also full of concern, but she didn't know what the rest of the Weng family thought of her, after all, although she and Feng Qizhou had a blood relationship with the Weng family, they hadn't seen each other for decades, and the Weng family had a big business, so it was hard to guarantee that no one would dislike her.
Before she arrived, she didn't feel that she was nervous, but now that she was about to arrive at the door of the mansion, she felt nervous.
When Feng Qiao was nervous, he habitually pulled the Buddha beads on his wrist.
Lingyue and Qu'er obviously felt the rare nervousness of their young lady, and the two of them couldn't help but sit up straight.
……
When the carriage stopped outside the door of Weng's house, Shao Sitong got out of the carriage first, Feng Qiao asked Lingyue to cut her hair and straighten her clothes, and then she went down, thinking that it was quiet outside, and maybe there would be a porter or a person in charge to pick it up, but who would have thought that as soon as she landed, she was taken aback by the scene outside.
I saw that in the open space outside the carriage, there were several young men and women, the eldest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one was still three or four years old, among which there were two young women with women's buns, and a group of people were all looking at Feng Qiao who got off the carriage with bright eyes.
Feng Qiao was wearing a peach-colored full-breasted skirt, with her hair combed on her head, a small lock of hair hooked in the hairband and falling on the side of her face, and her slightly round little face was as white and clear as a shelled lychee.
As if frightened by this scene, her lips opened slightly, and she looked at the large group of people in front of the door a little stupidly, and subconsciously took half a step back.
And the group of young men and women in front of the door surrounded them with bright eyes.
"This is Qingqing?"
"It's so good-looking. ”
"My cousin looks so small, doesn't she say she's twelve?"
"What twelve, that's a virtual age, besides, how can a girl in Beijing be as wild as you, look at Qingqing, she looks so well-behaved, her face is powdery, like glutinous rice dumplings..."
After the group of young men and women came up, they surrounded Feng Qiao in the middle very familiarly, seeing Feng Qiao as if he was frightened, his big black and white eyes widened, Shao Sitong unceremoniously stepped forward a few steps and gave the leading few people a burst chestnut, and then protected Feng Qiao behind him and reprimanded: "What are you guys doing, be careful to scare Qingqing." ”
After speaking, she turned her head to Feng Qiao and said, "Qingqing, don't be afraid, they are the children of your cousins and uncles." ”
Seeing Feng Qiao's appearance, the leading young man was afraid that he would really scare her, so he hurriedly took half a step back and said with a smile on his face: "Third aunt, don't be angry, we just knew that my cousin was coming today, so we came to pick her up." ”
After speaking, the young man tilted his body and crossed Shao Sitong, showing his head and grinning at Feng Qiao and giving a big smile: "Cousin, don't be afraid, I am your eighth cousin, and my name is Shao Jun." ”
"I, I, I, I'm the ninth cousin, my name is Shao Ran. ”
"I am the tenth cousin, and my name is Shao Wen. ”
"And me, my name is Yu Jiaojiao, and I am also my cousin. ”
Feng Qiao listened to their respective introductions, her face was full of confusion, although she had long known that the Weng family had many heirs, and unlike ordinary patriarchs, the Weng family has always been ranked in the same ranking, such as Shao Jinxingqi, in fact, there are only two elder brothers above, the other four are all sisters, and there are three younger brothers and sisters below, but now when she heard a group of people rushing to introduce her, she was still blindfolded.
Before she could think about how to answer a few people, she noticed that her sleeve was being pulled, she hurriedly lowered her head, and saw the little radish who had been standing beside Shao Jun before, grabbing her sleeve, and said in a milky voice: "Little aunt, my name is Shao Xiaobao, baby's treasure." ”
Feng Qiao's fingers were grabbed, and her back stiffened a little, but after seeing that a few people looked at her with blank eyes after being introduced, the corners of Feng Qiao's mouth twitched, and she shouted in a low voice: "Eighth brother, ninth brother, tenth sister, Jiaojiao sister......"
When she finished shouting, Shao Xiaobao, who was ignored, pulled her hand dissatisfiedly, and looked at her with watery eyes: "Little aunt, and me." ”
Feng Qiao couldn't resist the little guy's look, so he had to add another sentence: "Xiaobao is good." ”
When Shao Sitong was in the capital earlier, he had seen Feng Qiao's smart and calm appearance, and he had seen her and Feng Qizhou's shrewdness when calculating people together, but he had never seen her so embarrassed, and he couldn't help laughing on the side.
Seeing that Feng Qiao couldn't resist, he stepped forward to push Shao Jun away: "A few of you, I don't know what it looks like to let Qingqing enter the door and stop her out of the door like this." ”
After speaking, she smiled at Feng Qiao and said: "Qingqing, don't be scared by them, they are like this, after knowing about you and your father in Beijing earlier, they wanted to see your little cousin, and now they will look like this." ”
The two young women who had been standing not far away came over with a smile, and said with a smile when they heard Shao Sitong's words: "Yes, Qingqing don't mind, they are used to being like this, and they always want to be close to the people they like." ”
As she spoke, the apricot-eyed woman with gentle eyebrows reached out and hugged Shao Xiaobao, and said with a chuckle: "I am the second cousin-in-law, my name is Lin Xinyue, and I am Xiaobao's mother. After speaking, she pointed to the woman next to her who was wearing a blue dress and smiled generously, looking at most seventeen or eighteen years old, and said, "She is your sixth cousin-in-law, Yu Ling." ”
After Lin Xinyue's words were finished, Yu Ling stepped forward directly and reached out to hug Feng Qiao.
It doesn't make her uncomfortable, but it warms her.
"Welcome back, Qingqing. We're all happy to have you back. ”
Feng Qiao felt the sincerity in Yu Ling's words, and looked at the closeness of the few people around her without concealing it, while Shao Xiaobao smiled at her and showed a mouthful of milk teeth, she only felt that her eyes were a little astringent, and all the tension and worry before dissipated.
Not everyone in this world is like the Feng family, and not all relatives are so weak.
In the past, she didn't understand why Shao Jin was so sure, she would definitely like the Weng family, but now she knows that it is really difficult for people not to get close to such a family.
Seeing that Feng Qiao's eyes were red and there were some water stains on them, Yu Ling smiled and climbed on her shoulder and said: "Okay, little eight, little nine, little ten, and Jiaojiao, grandparents and grandmothers are still waiting for Qingqing, this time Qingqing will stay for a long time, and there is time for a few of you to get close." ”
"Now go first and meet them, lest they be in a hurry." ”
A group of people surrounded Feng Qiao inside, chattering with Feng Qiao on the side, and Shao Xiaobao seemed to like this little aunt very much, and kept kicking her calves to get down, Baba opened her hands to Feng Qiao to hug her, and was finally slapped on the butt by Lin Xinyue, so she lay on her shoulder and pretended to cry.
"Xiaobao, you cry so fakely. Yu Jiaojiao poked Shao Xiaobao's buttocks.
Shao Xiaobao raised his head and glared at her with his cheeks, then turned his head and plunged into Lin Xinyue's arms: "Aunt Jiaojiao is a bad person, Xiaobao don't like you anymore." ”
Several people next to him were laughing, and even Feng Qiao couldn't help laughing.
……
The Weng family occupies an extremely wide area, and the money accumulated by the Weng family merchants over the years is far from being worse than those major business houses in Beijing, and even far surpasses them in some aspects, Feng Qiao originally saw a few cousins and cousins who were approachable, and earlier saw Weng Shiwei and Shao Sitong dressed plainly, and thought that the mansion was probably the same as them, but after entering the Weng Mansion, she was directly shocked by the arrogance that rushed towards her.
Pavilions, pavilions, plants and trees, the precious flowers and plants that are rare to see in Beijing seem to be seen everywhere as if they don't want money, the table downstairs of the corridor is a stone jade table, and all the plaques hanging everywhere are lacquered gold, and when they arrive in front of the main hall, they raise a few pigeons in the bird cage hanging under the pillar on the side, and the cage is actually made of molten silver, and there are several huge gems inlaid at the bottom of the face.
The corners of Feng Qiao's eyes twitched a little, looking at the Weng family's house, she couldn't wait to engrave the two big words "rich" on the door, this is not the same thing as the simple rich and noble family she thought of before, okay?
Yu Ling looked at Feng Qiao's appearance and leaned over and asked, "What does Qingqing think of our house?"
Feng Qiao choked, and after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any words to describe his temperament at this time, so he could only say dryly: "Hmm...... Very good......"
Yu Ling suddenly laughed out loud, thinking that when she first married into the Weng family, she was almost dazzled by the Weng family's house, always thinking about whether anyone would think about robbing it, and then it took several months to gradually get used to it, but every time she saw other people being shocked, she was always happy, as if she saw her own embarrassment.
Feng Qiao was taken by a few people and walked towards the inner hall for a while, and then went directly to the inner hall, where there were already many people.
The old lady of the Weng family and the old man Weng sat among them, Weng Shiwei and a few other middle-aged men and women sat on both sides, and then there were a few juniors, hearing the sound of laughter outside, the old man Weng wanted to get up, but was pulled by the old lady of the Weng family, he coughed lightly and then sat down steadily, just looked at the sight outside the door with more joy, and the others next to him also looked at the door.
When Feng Qiao entered, he only felt that everyone's eyes fell on him.
If it hadn't been for the experience outside, she might have really felt uncomfortable, but after experiencing the laughter just now, she was completely relaxed at this time.
Feng Qiao smiled obediently at the people inside, and then followed Shao Sitong and them directly into the hall.
"Grandfather, grandmother, and cousin Qingqing are here. ”
Shao Jun is the most out-of-the-box, and he said directly as soon as he entered.
Weng Yanhuai, the fifth elder of the Weng family over there, glared at his son, while the old man Weng who was sitting at the top said, "The third daughter-in-law is back." ”
"Father. ”
Shao Sitong saw that although Weng Jiashu was talking to her, his eyes were looking at Feng Qiao with a blank look, and he obviously wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would lose the demeanor of an elder if he was too excited, so he almost couldn't help laughing.
She also knew how much Old Man Weng was looking forward to this niece, and seeing that Old Madam Weng kept giving her a look, she chuckled and took Feng Qiao forward and said, "Father, mother, this is Qingqing, the child left by my aunt's lineage back then." ”
Feng Qiao stepped forward, bowed to the second elder in the hall in a dignified manner, and then kowtowed before raising his head and saying, "Qingqing has seen my uncle and aunt." ”
Old Mrs. Weng was still holding Old Man Weng, but after seeing Feng Qiao this time, she fell in love with this sweet and good-looking little girl at a glance, seeing Feng Qiao kneeling down and kowtowing, she suddenly couldn't hold it in distress, and quickly got up and pulled Feng Qiao up: "Get up quickly, hurry up, why are you still kowtowing, don't touch your head, it's cold on the ground, don't hurt your knees..."
Feng Qiao was held by the old lady and smiled sweetly: "Qingqing doesn't hurt, thank you uncle." ”
"Good boy. ”
Old Mrs. Weng suddenly smiled and lost her eyebrows, and Feng Qiao felt the aggrieved gaze of the old man next to him, and turned his head to see him looking at him with blank eyes, Feng Qiao hurriedly gave him a sweet smile, and said obediently: "Uncle, Daddy said that I would say hello to you for him, and said that after the affairs in Beijing are dealt with, he will personally come to Hefu County to meet you two elders." ”
"Okay, we all know that your father is busy, and we will come back when he is done. Old man Weng was particularly ironed by an uncle's call, and his old face smiled and said, "Qingqing, come, come to my uncle." ”
Feng Qiao hurriedly walked over, and saw Old Man Weng picking up a box from the table next to him with a smile on his face and handing it to her.
Feng Qiao also knew that this was a meeting gift for the elders, and if she refused, it would only ruin the atmosphere, not to mention that she also liked the two old people very much, so she prepared a gift for them early, so she directly reached out and took the box, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle and aunt." ”
When Old Man Weng saw Feng Qiao receiving the greeting gift, he suddenly had a smile on his face.
And Mrs. Weng also likes this delicate but straightforward little girl even more.
After waiting to meet the two old men, Feng Qiao followed the introduction of the old lady and met a few people sitting in the hall.
Wearing a dark green brocade robe with a somewhat serious face is the second cousin Weng Demin, wearing a navy blue robe with a smile on the face of the fifth cousin Weng Yanhuai, sitting next to the two are the two of their wives Li and Wang, and then down is the eldest cousin Weng Yue who rushed back, and the sixth cousin Shao Rui.
And the eldest cousin Weng Xinwei and the second cousin Shaoming have not come back from going out to run errands.
There are not a lot of people in the Weng family, just remembering people's names can make people's brains dizzy, but Feng Qiao is very serious about writing down all the people, and then the room is full of only her sweet voice and salutes everyone one by one.
After the complicated etiquette of recognizing relatives was over, Feng Qiao received a lot of meeting gifts, and the most of them were the closed brocade boxes.
After talking to a few people for a while, Mrs. Weng called for food and Feng Qiao, and then drove Feng Qiao back to the Spring Snow Curie that had been prepared for her a long time ago.
