Chapter 35: Détente (2)
Shen, who was in a good mood, led Gu Wanning, Gu Jinyan and Shen Qinglan to Zhenghe Hall with a smile on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As usual, they salute and then sit down and talk.
Shen Qinglan whispered to Gu Guanning from time to time, Gu Wanning's expression was not very warm, and he responded to a sentence or two from time to time.
Mrs. Tai was so shrewd and keen, she quickly saw the clues.
It's strange that Sister Ning still said in front of her that night that she didn't like Shen Qinglan. It's only been a few days, why did you change your attitude and be willing to deal with Shen Qinglan?
Mrs. Tai thought secretly in her heart, but she didn't say anything through her mouth, she only asked with a smile: "Sister Lan'er entered the women's school on the first day yesterday, can you still adapt to it?"
"Thank you for your concern. Shen Qinglan replied obediently: "When I was in Xijing before, I always studied with my father. The curriculum in the girls' school is easier than usual, and I can understand it. ”
Shen Qinglan is by no means an embroidered pillow with a belly of straw. Shen Qian is quite strict with her teaching, and her talent is also excellent. In all fairness, it is better than several young ladies of the Gu family.
Mrs. Tai asked a few words, and then she understood.
However, no matter how smart and clever Shen Qinglan is, Mrs. Tai can't feel much pity for her. didn't say anything else, just because the Shen family was more concerned about Shen Qinglan than Gu Wanning, Mrs. Tai was not happy from the bottom of her heart.
No matter how good Shen Qinglan is, she is also a member of the Shen family. Shen is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and she treats her niece better than her own daughter, she is simply confused!
"Sister Lan is indeed very intelligent, no wonder you like her so much. Even when I looked at her, I thought she was a likable. ”
Mrs. Tai looked at Shen with a smile and said pointedly: "Sister Ning has been a tough temper since she was a child, and even I feel a headache when she twists her jaws. However, she was born out of your belly. You, as a mother, can be more tolerant and tolerant. ”
Shen's heart sank.
Mrs. Tai is praising Shen Qinglan here, she is obviously beating her not to favor one over the other!
"The mother-in-law said this, and the daughter-in-law was really ashamed. ”
Shen is also a master of acting, and immediately showed a guilty look: "In the past, my daughter-in-law was busy taking care of the trivial affairs in the house, and she relied on her mother-in-law to take care of Guanning, and she was negligent in taking care of her food, clothing, and daily life in the past. ”
"I owe a lot to Wanning. Every time I think about this, I don't feel good about it. From now on, I will definitely make up for Wanning. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Wanning with loving eyes: "Guanning, you have always been sensible, you won't blame your mother!"
What an apologetic Shen!
What a mother who is bent on compensating her daughter!
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly responded with a smile: "Mother, what's wrong with today? ”
"We are mothers and daughters, the closest people in the world. Even if my mother neglected me a little, no matter how good she was to Cousin Qinglan, she must still love me the most in her heart. ”
No matter how thick-skinned Shen is, he is a little weak when he hears such words.
Speaking of which, she really didn't feel pity for Gu Wanning. In her heart, Shen Qinglan is her real daughter......
"Mother, why don't you speak?" Gu Wanning asked with a smile, without the condensation and sharpness of the past, the lines of his bright face softened a lot.
Shen came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "It's nothing. I'm just feeling that you have really grown up, both sensible and understanding. ”
Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
Shen Qinglan smiled on her face, but an inexplicable trace of jealousy quickly flashed in her heart.
It was as if something that originally belonged to her was snatched away by Gu Wanning.
Reason told her that it was not right. The Shen family is Gu Guanning's mother-in-law, and it is natural to be good to Gu Guanning. She, as a niece, shouldn't have competed with Gu Wanning for her aunt.
The indescribable unwillingness and resentment are irrepressibly surging in my heart.
……
Mrs. Tai looked at this scene and was very relieved.
No matter how much she loves Sister Ning, she can't replace the Shen family after all.
Besides, she is already more than half a hundred and half years old. Maybe I'll die at some point. At that time, only the Shen family would have to take care of Sister Ning.
Wu covered his mouth and smiled: "Which play did the second brother and sister play in front of us today? This mother-daughter love is deep, does Cheng Xin make us look hot? My goosebumps are about to fall to the ground." ”
At first glance, this sounds like nothing, but when you touch it carefully, it is a little unpleasant.
It is clearly a metaphor for Shen's hypocrisy towards Gu Wanning.
…… Although this is a fact!
Gu Guanning didn't react yet, and Shen had already fought back with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to see that I have a deep relationship with Wanning's mother and daughter?"
Wu was choked for a moment, and said with a stiff face and a smile: "How can this be." The second brother and sister, don't get me wrong. Home and everything is prosperous, I only hope that the whole house is harmonious and beautiful. ”
Shen doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, but this does not mean that she is a master to be messed with. Wen Yan smiled faintly: "It turns out that my sister-in-law has been looking forward to the harmony and friendship of our second room, it seems that I have misunderstood my sister-in-law before." I thought that my sister-in-law wished that I and Wanning would make trouble all day long, and then there would be excitement to see!"
Wu: "......"
That's too harsh!
Mrs. Tai smiled and glanced at Wu with a faint expression.
Wu's back was cold, and he reflexively accompanied the smiling face: "Second brother and sister, don't laugh." We've been concubines for many years, don't you know what kind of character I am? I'm not the villain who waits for the seedlings. ”
In a hurry, he pulled Fang's help again: "Third brother and sister, did you say?"
Fang's family has always been a good old man with mud, and immediately echoed: "Yes, sister-in-law is just joking, and she has no other intentions. ”
The Shen clan cleaned up the Wu clan without much effort, and the sullen breath in his heart quietly dissipated.
……
After saying goodbye, the girls went to the girls' school together.
Shen Qinglan, who was snubbed and excluded by everyone yesterday, spoke and acted extremely cautiously today.
Along the way, Shen Qinglan and Gu Wanning maintained a distance of not far and not close, and before occasionally opening their mouths to talk, they would always carefully watch how Gu Wanning looked.
Fortunately, Gu Wanning didn't sneer anymore, and occasionally responded.
Gu Wanning's attitude changed subtly, and everyone also saw it, and they were all secretly surprised.
While resting, Gu Guanqi quietly came to Gu Guanning's side and whispered in her ear: "Second sister, didn't you say yesterday morning that you didn't want to ignore Cousin Shen? Why did you change your mind today? Did the second aunt count you?"
Gu Guanning didn't want to explain more, so he simply kept silent, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
She did this, of course, for her own purposes.
