Chapter 140: Qingyang
"Qingyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Xue Ying was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and there were only these two words on the paper. The two words were sharp and restrained, vigorous and powerful, which made her raise her eyebrows and say to herself: "It seems that this kid is indeed a lot calmer." ”
Qiao Ya was already looking at it on the side: "Miss, I'll let you help me see how about this name, what are you muttering?" ”
'Good.' Qingyang' means spring, meaning germination and hope, which is very suitable for you. Xue Ying glanced at her, "Xiang Yun gave you the name?" ”
Qiaoya nodded vigorously, carefully put away the paper, and asked a little awkwardly, "Miss, can I give this name?" ”
"Of course you can, as long as you like." Xue Ying glanced at the hairpin on her head and sighed, "Time flies so fast, you are out of time in the blink of an eye." ”
Early this morning, Aunt He'an held a lively and warm ceremony for Qiaoya at her home, and the people of the entire Jiuquan Village participated, which was very lively for a while. At the ceremony, Aunt He'an announced that Qiaoya would be named "Qingyang" and handed the paper to Qiaoya, but Xue Ying could see at a glance that the word came from Xiang Yun.
actually agreed to let Xiang Yun name Qiaoya, it seems that Aunt He'an is much more confident in the future of Xiang Yun and Qiaoya than her, and her previous worries seem to be superfluous.
Qiaoya's expression suddenly moved, and she listened attentively: "It's the bell that Zhao Hu is ringing, someone is coming." With that, he went out to find out.
Because the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are separated, in order to facilitate communication, Zhao Hu used a bell to contact Qiaoya, so that Qiaoya could communicate internal and external information for Xue Ying - of course, it is not used under normal circumstances, after all, Xue Ying is not the kind of eldest lady who stays at home, only in "special" circumstances, Zhao Hu will use this method.
Most likely, it is someone from Jian'anhou Mansion.
After a while, Qiaoya reported a little angrily: "There is a person who hates it even more than Aunt Wang, saying that there is a letter from my aunt and grandmother to hand it over to Miss in person." ”
Aunt Wang? Xue Ying's heart moved. Aunt Wang was the one who came to pick her up when she went back to Jian'an Hou's Mansion last time, although she didn't tear her face directly, but to be honest, the experience of getting along was not very pleasant.
But what made her even more strange was: Auntie's letter? If her memory is correct, she hasn't received any information about her aunt and grandmother over the years, right? It's certainly not a good thing to write a letter suddenly for no reason.
Sure enough, after reading the letter, the corners of Xue Ying's mouth almost couldn't help twitching.
The letter first expressed her aunt's pity and miss for her with a large amount of text, with gorgeous rhetoric and condescending words, which made Xue Ying, who had passed the level of ancient Chinese, barely understand it with her eyes. Finally, the theme of the roll call: In a few days is her aunt's birthday, she hopes that her children and grandchildren can gather together for a reunion dinner, so she "hopes" that Xue Ying must go back - immediately pack her things and go with the person who sent the letter.
With the third lady back then, Aunt Wang suddenly came to pick up people, isn't this a family that doesn't enter the door?
However, although the letter did not say it, Xue Ying could also guess it. It is estimated that my aunt's request has been mentioned to the third lady many times, but the third lady has shirked it by four or two thousand pounds, so the aunt and grandmother can't help but take her own shot, bypassing the third master and the third lady and taking her back directly.
If she really goes back, it will be to slap the third master and the third lady in the face; But if she disobeys the order, it will be completely unfilial. It's really a disaster from the sky, who does she provoke, can't these people let her live quietly in Jiuquan Beizhuang for the rest of her life?
The messenger was a mother-in-law, whose hair was gray, but meticulously combed, and whose face was inevitably frowning, but whose skin was smooth, apparently well-maintained. Sitting under the living room, with a straight spine, drinking tea uprightly, looking at Xue Ying with a direct and arrogant gaze, and because Xue Ying had read the content of the letter several times, her face showed disapproval and contempt, as if she saw Xue Ying's embarrassment in understanding those difficult words.
Aunt Wang is still pretending to be a slave, but this Granny Du is too lazy to pretend, but she puts up a shelf.
Xue Ying rolled her eyes in her heart, and then made a weak appearance with her hands on her forehead: "Qiaoya, why is it black in front of my eyes?" ”
"Oh, miss, are you alright?" Qiaoya made an anxious look very cooperatively, "I'll call Aunt Sun over!" As he spoke, he ran out, and after a while, he came in with Aunt Sun.
"Ouch, I'm dizzy." Xue Ying is still acting.
Aunt Sun took Xue Ying's pulse with an indifferent expression, and then said expressionlessly and very solemnly: "Miss, I have warned you a long time ago that you are not in good health, you have to stay in bed for the next few days, you have to get up, this time it's good, this time it's not good to lie down for ten days and half a month." ”
Xue Ying was angry: "My aunt and grandmother sent someone to visit me, I was happy, of course I wanted to come out to see." ”
Aunt Sun seemed to notice the existence of Granny Du, and hurriedly made a watertight salute and said, "Granny Du, it's rude." Miss is not in good health, I need to take her back to the room for a good diagnosis, this is not far away. ”
"Wait." After all, Granny Du is an experienced old man, how can she not see that they are pretending to be garlic, obviously she was fine just now, but when she heard that her aunt and grandmother were going to take her home, she pretended to be sick and weak. But Xue Ying still has the name of a master, and she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she has to say, "Grandma asked me to pick up the third miss and go home, the third miss is not feeling well today, then I will stay for a few more days, and wait for the third miss to get better before going on the road." ”
Qiaoya wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and when she looked up, her eyes were red, and she said to Granny Du: "Third Miss has not been in good health since she suffered a heavy blow last time, and it is very difficult to even get out of bed and move around, and she hasn't even been out of the gate much over the years, which is really pitiful." He cried and was very sad.
Granny Du was speechless for a while, and after a pause, she said: "The third miss has become like this, because we are the ones who don't take good care of it. Third Miss, if you don't dislike my mother-in-law, I am old and frail, why don't you let me stay and take care of you for a few days, which can be regarded as a show of my aunt's pity for you. ”
She's just going to stay here anyway.
But how can that be? It's inconvenient for Fang to say that there are still the past and the broken in this courtyard, what should I do if the stuffing is exposed?
Granny Du can't stay here, she must leave Jiuquan Bezhuang today.
"Okay." Xue Ying said weakly to Qiaoya, "Clean up the east wing and let Granny Du live." ”
Qiaoya readily agreed: "Okay, the nest of snakes I found a few days ago has been removed, but there is still a nest of wasps on the beams of the house, so I will go and burn it." ”
Granny Du's face suddenly turned pale: "Snake? Hornet? ”
