Chapter 010: Sortie (II)

kept her eyes open until dawn, and when Zhou Mingshan got up to freshen up, two thick black shadows under her eyelids made her feel a little irritable.

I sent the second-class girl to pile incense and told her mother that she would sleep a little longer and come back later.

After breakfast, Zhou Mingshan sat under the window and watched Hongyun play with the little girls under the eaves.

Turning over the flower rope for a while, kicking the shuttlecock for a while, throwing sandbags for a while, the white heat from the mouth and nose reflects their red faces, there is a different kind of beauty!

Looking at it, her mood is also better.

Frangipani returned to the west room after dinner, and saw the four girls leaning on the big kang near the window, looking out of the carved glass window and smiling, and the breath she was carrying in her heart slowly let go!

The fourth girl didn't know what was going on in the past two days, since she decided not to tell the third grandmother, she had to be careful, otherwise, if something happened, she wouldn't be able to make up for it even if she was beaten to death by the big board!

It didn't take long for a little girl to pass the word, saying that the third grandmother invited the girl to come over, and a guest came!

Zhou Mingshen took the mirror and looked at the mirror.

The black blue under the eyelids has faded after the hot compress of Frangipani in the morning, at least you can see people!

She continued to look at the man in the mirror.

The skin is like coagulation, the eyebrows are like green daisy, the goose egg face, the willow eyebrows, and the delicate and bright appearance in the memory!

I heard from my uncle that she looked like the grandmother who went first, and they were all the same beautiful!

When I was a child, my uncle often held her, sat in the room where my grandmother used to live, quietly looked at my grandmother's portrait, and sat all day!

Thinking of the eldest uncle who was far away at the border, Zhou Mingshan curled the corners of her mouth slightly!

Looking at the woman in the mirror again, she is also smiling, and her black and white eyes are no longer like stagnant water, but as bright as spring flowers blooming!

"Smack!"

The palm-sized carved diamond mirror is buckled upside down on the dressing table!

Zhou Mingshan was in a trance for a moment, she didn't know what she was angry about.

It's just that the experience of her previous life told her that it's not a good thing for girls to be too beautiful!

He shook his head slightly, driving away the gloom that welled up in his heart.

She was served with incense and smoke to freshen up, and then changed into a goose-yellow madder dark pattern gown, and took Frangipani to her mother.

On the way, Zhou Mingshan secretly guessed that it was probably someone from the Xianguo Mansion!

As soon as she arrived at the door of Tingxian Residence, she heard a familiar voice, and as she expected, it was Mama Chen who brought someone to greet her.

Seeing Zhou Mingshan, Mama Chen, who was originally sitting, stood up from the small embroidery pier with a "poof", and the smile on her originally smiling face was even worse, even the folds were deeper, and she saluted Zhou Mingshan excitedly: "I haven't seen you for less than a day, and the four girls are beautiful again!"

"Mom is too awarded! You are the elder in front of Mrs. Tai, don't be so polite!" Zhou Mingshan grabbed her, pressed her to sit on the embroidery pier, and sat down on the side herself.

"Okay, good ......" Mama Chen pulled Zhou Mingshan with a smile, obviously very happy with her actions, and her reserve at first sight was swept away.

"Mom, I don't know if Mrs. Tai is good or not?" Zhou Mingshan asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Good, good, very good!" Speaking of Mrs. Tai, Mama Chen was obviously in a better mood, and said a few good words in a row, "After taking Master Yin's medicine, Mrs. Tai woke up last night and asked about the girl! I came back to thank her! Mrs. Tai also said that when she is well, she will come over in person!"

After saying that, he got up again and gave Zhou Mingshan a big salute.

"Don't, don't, get up quickly!" Zhou Mingshan didn't expect her to be like this suddenly, so she hurriedly held on.

Yuan, who was sitting on the side, also hurriedly helped dissuade her: "This is really torturous for her, how can the children afford it?"

Mama Chen was unmoved, and solemnly finished the ceremony, and then said solemnly: "As the saying goes, 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring', and the girl can say that it is a life-saving grace to Mrs. Tai, just a salute, why can't you afford it!"

Zhou Mingshan was helpless, and glanced at Yuan, so she had to let her do it.

Thinking that she had already gone to ask her grandmother to say goodbye, Mama Chen didn't mention going to see her wife, but just chatted with Yuan about the recent situation over the years.

The Yuan family is not familiar with her, even Mrs. Tai has heard Zhou Mingshan talk about it, these people are similar to strangers to her, of course, they only say some polite words.

Zhou Mingshan was very happy, Mama Chen was just a subordinate, since she talked about this topic, it must not be her idea, it should have been instructed by Mrs. Tai.

Whatever the reason why my grandmother didn't keep in touch with Mrs. Tai at the beginning, it is a good sign that Mrs. Tai is now taking the initiative to care about them.

Zhou Mingshan's mood brightened up in an instant, and Fang Cai's innocence was swept away!

Mama Chen was a good chat partner, and after talking for a while, Yuan began to disarm and surrender, looking at the excitement on her face, Zhou Mingshen secretly laughed.

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Yuan's diligent stay, but Mama Chen refused on the grounds that she had been out for too long and was afraid that Mrs. Tai would call people!

Before leaving, Mama Chen was so enthusiastic that she invited them to come and sit down often.

It's about going on!

Holding back the excitement in their hearts, Zhou Mingshan and Yuan reluctantly sent Mama Chen away.

Returning to Tingxianju, looking at the big red gilt gift list on the table of the Eight Immortals, Zhou Mingshan picked it up and opened it.

The long list of names made her almost scream!

Embroidery, feathers, silk, leather, jade toys, goldware, precious medicinal herbs, etc., and even some treasures that she had only heard of but had never seen!

That's really ...... It's so precious!

Zhou Mingshan turned her head to look at Yuan stiffly, she shook her head, obviously not understanding why.

It's like a cold day, suddenly a basin of cold water was broken, Zhou Mingshan was cold from head to toe all of a sudden, and the good mood just now instantly fell to the bottom!

Why is that?

Looking at Mama Chen's attitude just now, it obviously means that Mrs. Tai wants to accept them and continue to communicate, but why did she give such a valuable gift?

According to common sense, even if Zhou Mingshan is kind to Mrs. Tai, she will not give such a valuable gift at once, which will make it difficult for the other party to grasp when returning the gift.

This kind of action is more like trying to embarrass them with a gift!

Why is that?

Could it be that Mama Chen is just pretending?

No, no!

Zhou Mingshan shook her head, "poof", and threw the gift slip in her hand to the ground, she would never accept such a result!

Since her rebirth, she has endured such suffering, and finally got off to a good start!

Now she's suing her and she's messed up!

No, it's not! Something must be wrong!

Zhou Mingshan covered her eyes and crooked herself in her chair tiredly and dejectedly, trying to recall her time in the Temple of Mercy and Grace!

From the time she found out that Mrs. Xianguo came to worship the Buddha, and then went to the eldest aunt to discuss, and after the eldest aunt sent a post and got a reply, they went to say goodbye, although Mrs. Tai's attitude towards them was not full of enthusiasm, but it was also gentle and polite!

Later, when she and Mrs. Tai were talking speculatively, Mrs. Tai suddenly fell ill, and she learned to save Mrs. Tai because she had seen monks in the temple treat patients like this before. It worked at the time, and Master Grace of the Temple of Mercy and Grace also said that her approach was right and timely!

Among them, the only accident was the attitude of the prince of Xianguo! She saved his grandmother, but the other party didn't even say the word "thanks"! At that time, she thought that it might be the reason why the prince of Xianguo was arrogant, but in this situation, could it be his actions?

But if it is the actions of the prince of Xianguo, what is he for, they are just female dependents, even if they owe a little favor, what can hinder him?
