Chapter 23 Bergamot Pastry
The Wei Hall where his grandmother Wu lived was very spacious, and there was a hugging tree in the yard, with lush branches and leaves, so that Yu Xiaoling had to guess that this tree might have been cultivated into a tree spirit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, speculation is speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence, so when her second aunt Feng Shi stood under the porch and greeted her, she abandoned the tree and ran over with a grin.
"Are you my second aunt? Ling'er hurt her head, don't remember? Yu Xiaoling said with a small face.
Feng's eyes were red, and he hugged her hard, unable to speak.
"This kid ......" Cheng walked over: "Second sister-in-law, don't cry for her, although she has suffered a crime, her little head is getting brighter and brighter, and she speaks more neatly." ”
When Feng Shi heard this, he also felt that this was the case, stopped crying, looked carefully at Xiao Linglai, and saw that her little face was ruddy, her eyes were attentive, and she sighed.
"Auntie." Yu Xiaoling didn't see it, and a pair of sisters came here to bow to Cheng's family.
"Hui'er, Yi'er, hurry up. I haven't seen my aunt for a few months, and she's grown taller. Cheng hurriedly picked up the sister flowers, and greeted Yu Xiaoling again: "Come and see your two cousins." ”
Yu Xiaoling knew that this should be a pair of daughters of the Feng family. At a glance, sure enough, the mother and daughter all had long faces, delicate eyebrows, and the hair on the forehead of the cousin, who was only tall, was naturally curled up, which was very feminine.
That is Cheng Mohui. She is the eldest daughter of the Feng family, nine years old this year, as far as the Cheng family in Muxiang Hutong is concerned, she is also the eldest granddaughter of this serious child. Cheng Moyi is the third in the clan, and she has the only granddaughter on Nancheng's side, and she is also a concubine, Cheng Moen. Further down, the fourth line is Cheng Moyou, who is from Uncle Yu Xiaoling's house, and is not in Beijing.
These four Cheng girls are all sisters to Yu Xiaoling, she thinks that these four are not too easy to say, if there are seven or eight, I am afraid that she will have fainted a long time ago.
The sisters had a good time meeting with each other. Before the heat got up, the maids urged them to go to see Yu Xiaoling's grandmother.
Maternal grandmother Wu and Cheng are really mother and daughter, and they look very similar, but she is white and fat, more like a Buddha.
Yu Xiaoling liked her very much, and leaned on her, eating Huang Chengcheng's bergamot cake.
"This child just loves to eat bergamot, but he forgot about it, but his love has not changed. It's okay, it's okay, it's a blessed one. Grandmother coaxed her to eat a few more pieces, which were crispy and delicious, and Yu Xiaoling did not refuse.
The grandmother, mother, and second aunt talked about the family's shortcomings, and Sister Cheng Mohui also pulled Yu Xiaoling to ask in a whisper. Only the eldest cousin talked less, but the six-year-old third cousin chatted with her energetically.
"Does my sister dance at home? I love that one the most, but it's a pity that the eldest sister always learns this and that, and the second sister in the south doesn't come, and the fourth sister is not there, so I can only play with the little girl. They're not interesting. Cheng said silently.
Although she is the same age as Yu Xiaofei, she is tall, her complexion is not so white, and she has a healthy ruddy in it, and she often runs out to play at first glance.
Yu Xiaoling felt that she didn't know how much better she was than her cousin, and the two of them chattered about this and that, and it was a deed.
After a while, Cheng Moyi pulled her: "I'm getting more and more greedy, let's ask grandmother, let's go out and play!" ”
Yu Xiaoling laughed, feeling that although she thought well, she might not be able to make the trip, Cheng brought him here, I'm afraid there are some side things.
Sure enough, Cheng Moyi pulled the hem of Wu's clothes, and when she said that she was going out to play, she smiled and shook her head.
"The guests will be here in a moment, and when the guests are gone, let's go out again. Haha. ”
As soon as the words fell, a maid came over to report: "Madame, second wife, fourth aunt, and eldest aunt are here." ”
Yu Xiaoling couldn't turn the corner for a while.
Who is this aunt and grandmother? Could it be someone from the south side? As far as she knows, she doesn't have a cousin's aunt, probably her aunt. Is this aunt a guest of the Wu family?
The group got up to greet them, and after a while, they saw a woman in fine clothes come with a girl of eleven or twelve years old and a boy of three or four years old.
After another meeting, Yu Xiaoling was also prompted to call the woman's aunt and the girl's cousin Peng.
Last name Peng? Yu Xiaoling thought about it and felt that his head was pasted into a pulp, and he couldn't figure it out.
The children of the family began to talk in a short way again, Yu Xiaoling listened attentively, and suddenly understood which family the three Peng family members had just arrived.
Isn't it the one that Yu Bingzu said that let Yu Ji go to the Venerable family in two months? It turns out that it is an in-law relationship, and it is such an in-law relationship.
Yu Xiaoling sorted out the relationship, and then looked at the three of them, and felt that they were indeed not from ordinary people.
According to what she heard from the Cheng family, her eldest aunt's father-in-law was the elder of the court and the secretary of the criminal department, and he was really high and powerful.
So what are they doing at this time? Is it for Yu Ji's schooling?
But didn't Yu Bingzu say that they had all been discussed? Or is Cheng not at ease?
Yu Xiaoling listened with her ears open for a while, only to hear the eldest aunt simply say a few words that reassured Cheng, and then told Wu how her three-year-old son couldn't eat and sleep.
“…… Auntie doesn't know, just for this to collect debts, I've really tried all kinds of methods. The imperial doctor looked at several of them, and all of them said that there was nothing wrong, and it was not that he didn't look at it, but he couldn't see it. My father-in-law never believed in the demon subjugation, he only said that it was all witchcraft and could not be touched. I really can't help it......" said the eldest aunt, her tears falling down, and she lay on Wu like a child and cried.
Wu patted her: "My son, you have been offended." Your mother went early, and no one taught you these things, and you got married early, alas...... Now that we know, let's try a few side ways to keep them from knowing. ”
Cheng also went over to persuade her: "Eldest sister, hurry up and put away her tears, Mrs. Fu is also coming soon, let her show the children first." ”
The eldest aunt gradually collected her tears after listening to the persuasion, and asked Cheng again: "Is Ling'er not good like that?" Didn't my sister say it was all right before? ”
Cheng sighed and shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know if she's good or not." If it's not good, the villain's family can eat and sleep, and the little head is also very bright. But if you say it, Duanyang had a headache again that day, it was very dangerous, and he fainted, and the doctor also saw it, but he didn't say anything. My mother said that she had just invited Mrs. Fu, so she asked me to come with Ling'er. ”
After Cheng finished speaking, everyone sighed, but Yu Xiaoling's small face was a little weird, laughing or not, crying or not.
Yu Xiaoling couldn't cry or laugh. She didn't expect that she was actually taken by the Cheng family to see the god's mother-in-law coming.
