Ding's complexion is not good, and now he is black and blue that cannot be covered by fat powder, but as the housewife of the Xu family, he has to do some things. Reluctantly pulled out a smile, pointed to the two people on the side and introduced Xu Nuo: "Liuniang, this is Mrs. Du, this is the eldest lady of the Du family." β
Promising to say hello to the two, Mrs. Du gave her a delicately carved gold grate, she did not shirk, thanked her, and accepted the gift generously.
Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, and he didn't know why the old man didn't let her sue the Du family of Liuniang and the end of the grounding of Siniang, so she had to see Liuniang's reaction, and said it to him carefully when she went back.
Isn't that normal?
"You kids go play, today's class is on hold for a day. Old lady Xu opened his mouth and said, the Du family has a big business, their housewife came with her daughter-in-law, Aunt Du's status is low and she can't face customers, but she has to let Xu Qian, who has some relationship with the Du family, come out to entertain guests.
The three of them left, and as soon as they left the Yuanyuan Hall, Aunt Du grabbed Xu Qian's arm and said affectionately: "Siniang, what gift are you going to give on the birthday of the old lady of the Ding family?" Everyone doesn't want to miss the birthday of the old lady of the Ding family, or it is an opportunity, if you can come up with a brilliant gift, there will naturally be many benefits in the future.
Her mother was going to bring her over in a few days, but Xu Qian came with a letter, and they came earlier. said that he could move around a few more households, and at the end of the letter, he mentioned that Ding Shilang would come to Suzhou a few days in advance.
She had already heard of Ding Shilang's virtuous name, admired and admired him, and she couldn't wait to come to Suzhou City immediately when she knew the news. When my mother heard this, she packed her belongings on the same day, and hurried in a carriage the next day.
Xu Qian showed a faint smile and a soft voice: "I'm just a junior, how can I have the face to present a gift on Old Lady Ding's birthday." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the promise on the side.
Xu Promise tilted his head to look at a cluster of spring flowers on the side of the road, not noticing Xu Qian's gaze. But I was thinking in my heart that Xu Qian practiced the song "Picking Mulberries" day and night, but she was embarrassed to say that she was not prepared.
Open your eyes and tell nonsense.
When Aunt Du heard this, her face was full of smiles, and her voice was a little more intimate: "Let's go to you, you play a tune for me." Xu Qian's piano was taught by her mother Lu, I don't know what Cheng DΓΉ has come to now, but since she is not ready to give a gift, no matter how good she plays, she doesn't need to care, just compliment a few words.
"Okay, you can play a song too, and we'll just point each other out. Xu Qian looked at Aunt Du, who was three years younger than herself, and what she thought was completely on her face, but she didn't show any disdain on her face, but smiled brightly.
"Where can I compare with you, or don't be ugly. Aunt Du replied with a smile, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
The two talked and laughed and walked towards Lianyi Pavilion.
Promise to be a few steps behind them, and when he reached the fork in the road, he turned his steps and prepared to return to his courtyard.
As soon as he turned around, before he raised his feet, Xu Qian's soft and glutinous voice came into his ears: "Liuniang, come too, you and I may not have been together for a long time." β
Xu Yu couldn't help but be angry when he heard Xu Qian's voice, he didn't call early or late, but when he decided to go back, the timing was too coincidental.
Then she sighed secretly, she made Xu Qian suffer a loss a few days ago, and now she calls herself, I'm afraid she doesn't have any good intentions.
Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Aunt Du whisper: "Siniang, what do you tell her to do, doesn't she be able to tear off the strings as soon as she touches the piano with her hand?
Xu was surprised, all this news got out?
It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.
The day before yesterday, she used medicine to poison her dumb mother, I don't know what it will become, presumably in the eyes of the world she is the kind of person who is stupid and stupid, and not filial piety.
No wonder the mother and daughter of the Du family looked at themselves with that kind of eyes.
The mind was racing, but the refusal that came to his lips was not spoken, he turned around and replied lightly: "I can only listen to the fourth sister's piano music from a distance these days, and if I can watch it up close today, it will naturally be excellent." β
Winning too much can sometimes lead to framing, and unlike in modern times, a person who is not careful can lose his life.
She was a straightforward person in her previous life, and after crossing over, she blindly suppressed her character in order to save her life, and a little bit of her brain was only revealed in front of July.
However, her easily irritated temperament can't be suppressed, whether it is Xu Erniang's ridicule last time or this time.
The smile on Xu Qian's face faded, but she also persuaded Aunt Du in a kind way, and the three of them went to Lianyi Pavilion together.
Xu Qian's yard is neat and clean, and the decoration is also very chic.
After entering the house, she first asked one of the maidservants to make tea, and then asked the other to fetch the piano.
Aunt Du didn't like to make promises, not to mention hearing the rumors about promises and unfilial piety, and as soon as she entered the house, she sat in the farthest position from the promise.
Xu didn't care, looking at the interior decoration.
The yellow flowers and wood on the couch are carved with a few entangled plum figures, the blue and white porcelain vases are placed on two low tables, and the Luohan bed is covered with a good blanket, and every part of the room is exquisite.
Xu Promise witnessed how his father and mother treated Xu Qian as a concubine.
Xu Qian saw Xu Yue looking at the things in the room with admiration, the corners of her mouth curled, and she pointed to the tea cup on the table: "This is the tea cup that my mother asked Mama Li to send a few days ago, Jianyao tea cup." β
Xu promised to pick it up and look at it: "Mother brought me two sets of tea cups that day, and I asked for the set of rabbit cups, but I didn't look at this set, but I didn't expect to give it to you." β
"Good things are naturally picked by you first, and which one I use, sister, is the same. Xu Qian's face did not change, she sat behind the piano with her skirt and pressed her hand on the strings: "This guqin was given to me by my father on my seventh birthday. β
Mrs. Du's family is solid, and she also has a lot of antiques from the Tang Dynasty in her house, so she is not curious about the porcelain vase in Xu Qian's mouth, but just silently looks at the piano score.
Xu promised not to give Xu Qian a cheer, nor did he speak, pretending to be stupid and looking out the window.
For a while, it was cold.
Xu Qian gritted her teeth, she said that after saying it for so long, the two of them didn't react at all, and Aunt Du didn't forget it, wouldn't she be jealous of her father's mother's love for her?
I think I was jealous of her jealousy back then, and sometimes I couldn't even eat food, why did she look like she was calm now!
