Chapter 56 Mother and Daughter
Lan Xin sat on the carriage and waited for the carriage to drive out of the corner gate of the Fang family. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info "Phew!" took a breath lightly, pressed his temples with his hand, and leaned softly on the carriage, only feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Ziyi looked at Lan Xin's tired face, and asked distressedly: "But the second lady is embarrassed by the girl?" Thinking of the second lady's lofty appearance, Ziyi stretched out her hand to press Lan Xin's head, and pouted and complained: "The second lady is really, how can you embarrass the guests when she comes to the door?"
"Huh. Lan Xin put down his hand and let the purple clothes press it, smiling a little self-deprecatingly, a little sarcastic, and a little indifferent, "In the eyes of the second lady, we are just merchants who can't be on the stage, and we don't care about it at all, how can we care if you are embarrassed?"
"It's still the old lady who is kind. Ziyi thought for a while and said, "The slave maid thinks that Old Madam Fang is like the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Even when I see us, we are always smiling. ”
Lan Xin squinted his eyes and let the purple clothes rub it. I thought to myself: The old lady is old and refined, how can it be easy for people to see joy and anger? What's more, what kind of wind and rain has not been experienced by a lady like her, how can she take some ordinary little things in her eyes?
After a while, Lan Xin felt much better, and waved his hand to stop Ziyi. Ziyi sat next to him and asked in surprise: "Girl, they all say that it is not a family that does not enter the door." The old lady is so kind, why is the second lady like that, such a harsh person?"
"Isn't there a saying that the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people?" Lan Xin said in a light tone as the curtain shook and watched the scene outside flicker.
"Yes. Ziyi thought for a while, and said a little dejectedly, "But doesn't it mean that the bigger the family, the more important the face?
How could it be passed out? The old lady is strict in governing the family, who dares to chew the root of her tongue behind her back? Besides, even if it is spread out, what will it be? With the current status of the Fang family, not to mention that the second lady speaks harshly, she is beating people, and there are more people who stammer. As for himself, take one step at a time! The situation on the street flickered with the car curtain, Lan Xin stared at the shaking car curtain, thinking wistfully.
"Girl, the slave maid thinks that this third girl is ・・・・・・"
"Let's go to Grandma's and eat chaos. Smelling the fragrant aroma coming to his nose, Lan said happily, interrupting Ziyi's chatter.
Fang Ning hugged Lu's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, pouted, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Mother, it's all my fault, I'm worried." ”
Lu gently smoothed her hair, smiled and said, "What a stupid child! It seems that this time I came to Xuzhou to come to the right place. Speaking of this, her smile softened even more, "You don't have to think about anything, living with your grandmother with peace of mind can be regarded as filial piety for your father and mother." Things in the capital, my mother will take care of it. ”
"I know, mother. Fang Ning rubbed on Lu's shoulder like a supple cat, "However, I'm afraid that the second aunt will be unhappy." ”
"There's something upset about her. Lu Shi said in a soft voice and disapprovingly, "Don't forget that this is your grandmother's home, and your grandfather and grandmother are in charge. ”
Fang Ning frowned and said, "But if it weren't for me coming, the fifth sister wouldn't have suddenly fasted and prayed, and she wouldn't have ・・・・・・ today."
"It's not your fault!" Lu Shi interrupted her sharply, looking at her daughter's reddened eyes and emaciated cheeks, she sighed helplessly, and her tone softened a lot, "Sister Ning'er, you must know that everything has cause and effect, it is not your fault, you don't always take things on you." ”
Fang Ning sat up and retorted, "But ・・・・・・"
"No, but. Lu interrupted her, took her back into his arms, and said softly, "Blame me for protecting you too well, and I don't understand the complexity of people's hearts." Sister Qin was brought up by your second aunt, and her temperament is most similar to your second aunt. The reason why your grandmother agreed to their proposal was because she didn't want her to make something happen to you. As for today's events, you don't have to worry about it. Miss Zhou can understand what your grandmother means with just one bracelet, which can be seen to be transparent, how can she not understand what is happening today?"
"Mother, the fifth sister has always been a person who is high and low, Lan Xin is just the daughter of a merchant's family, how can she befriend her? And Lan Xin doesn't look like the kind of person who flatters and deliberately flatters!" Fang Ning raised her head, frowned, and asked suspiciously.
Listening to her words, Lu Shi couldn't help but smile, "You can figure this out, and it's not in vain that your mother has worried about you during this time." Listen to your grandmother, this is what your grandfather meant, and he asked your grandmother to take more care of Miss Zhou. ”
"Why is it Miss Zhou, not the Zhou family?" Fang Ning was still puzzled.
"Your grandmother didn't say that. However, if you get along with Miss Zhou in the future, you will feel that you can get along, so you will get along with your heart. If you don't get along, don't force it. When my mother was young, your grandmother often taught my mother not to trust one person too much, and not to despise anyone. Because you can't know if that person will give you a boost or a fatal blow in the future. Lu Shi taught earnestly.
"Well, I know, mother. Fang Ning got up from Lu's arms, lifted the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, and poured another cup for herself.
Lu Shi pursed his lips and smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him, and after taking a few sips of tea, he put down the cup and said with some regret: "Miss Zhou's character, appearance and bearing are all good, but it's a pity that she has already made a marriage." ”
"Otherwise, what are the plans of the mother?" Fang Ning asked curiously, holding the teacup.
"Several children of the Lu family have reached the age of kissing. ”
"But the cousins of several uncles' families have already married, and the cousins are still young! Mother, you ・・・・・・" After a pause, she suddenly thought, "Mother is talking about Uncle Lu Sheng's branch? Several cousins of their branch have indeed reached the age of marriage." ”
Lu nodded and said, "Yes, the Lu family's selection of daughters-in-law has always attached importance to character rather than background. Now it can only be said that it is a pity. ”
Lan Xin, the main person they were talking about, didn't know that she was being remembered, and after bathing, she was sitting by the brazier reading a book, while Ziyi wiped her hair with a cotton cloth. Qinghe lifted the curtain, revealing half of his head, and shouted in a sly voice: "Girl!"
