Chapter 131: Thoughtful
Jing Yan was silent in his heart, after Ji's death, not only Wang Song, but even Wang Jing seemed to have changed as a person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chu Yingman is the person sent in by the Ji family by default, Wang Jing, who has not been seen for a long time, is present at the moment, and she can understand it to some extent, but only she knows what she feels in her heart.
Jing Yan smiled and nodded at her, then sat down on the chair next to her, always smiling properly.
After a while, there was still no shadow of Ma Xiangyun, and the old lady frowned and asked Ruihong beside her: "What about the second young lady?" ”
Rui Hong replied in a low voice: "Old lady, the second young lady and the second young master are all in the house. Forgive the slave and maid for daring to say, today is the new lady's tea, it is better to be quiet. ”
Old Taijun Gao glanced at her with slanted eyes, thinking that she would be angry, but she didn't expect that Old Taijun's eyes instantly returned to peace, nodded and said, "It's okay, then don't invite them." ”
Wang Luan, who has had his legs amputated, has not had a day of peace since he returned to the palace. Mrs. Gao originally planned to let him move to the palace to live, but recently Ma Xiangyun had a big quarrel with the other side, so he didn't care about them.
Gao frowned, obviously having a headache about this matter. Jing Yan watched from the side, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandmother, a while ago, my husband came back with some medicine from the Western Jin Dynasty, and Yan'er will give it to the second brother and sister later." ”
Gao sighed and said slowly: "It's okay, you go and see them, or go and unravel, after all, everyone is a family." "If you can, don't cause trouble in the house. The old lady didn't say anything later, but she thought so in her heart.
This one was talking, but the other end had already heard the sound of squirming footsteps, and Chu Yingman, who had just recovered from a serious illness, finally slowly walked into Fulongxuan with the support of Mei Xing and Qiu Yue.
Her delicate duck egg face was smeared with a little heavy blush, but because of her youth, it looked very natural, which made her very cute when she was still sick. The honey-colored tooth pinching edging on her body is as good as she wishes, and the jade brocade sleeve cotton dress fits her figure properly, which looks noble and exquisite.
On weekdays, she combed her hair in a hanging bun and changed a single screw bun today, and the colorful tourmaline hairpin wrapped with gold and silver thread was inserted into three pairs between the hairs.
Just at a glance, Jing Yan could see that the tourmaline was unusual, such a color and texture, I am afraid that ordinary people would not be able to take it. And the second prince has done his duty to send her to the palace, and it is impossible to put blood on her, something like this that really presses the bottom of the box, I am afraid that when the Chu family was at its peak, Chu Guifei brought it out of the palace.
In this way, Chu Yingman's mentality is clearly revealed, a woman's concern for her appearance often reveals her heart, although Chu Yingman looks like a weak woman, but in her heart, she is stronger than Ji's.
Jing Yan's gaze slowly withdrew from her meticulous dress and looked at Wang Jing on the side. She has always been curious about Wang Jing's attitude towards this stepmother. After being warned by himself for a few words last time in the mourning hall, he didn't make a lot of noise now, and seemed to have opened his mind.
Wang Jing's eyes were always faint, and even looked at Chu Yingman's gaze, trembling a little.
"Old lady, please drink tea." With a smile on her face, Chu Yingman walked up to the old lady with a cup of tea in her hand, knelt down on her knees, and respectfully raised her glass.
Mrs. Gao is a high-spirited person, but she doesn't hate people who respect her at all. At that time, Ji Yun aggressively wanted to send Chu Yingman, who was already pregnant, in, and she didn't like this indecent daughter-in-law in her heart, thinking that she, like Ji Guizhi, was a woman with higher eyes.
But now, she is still sick, and in this winter, she kneels on the ground without any cotton pads so respectfully, the old lady's condensed face also has a hint of gentleness, and she takes the red glazed colored porcelain Wanfu Tongzi tea bowl in her hand with both hands.
The tea is slightly warm, and there is a comfortable warm flow into the heart when held in the hand. The old lady opened the tea lid, thinking that it was some rare tea, but what she didn't want to meet was the red dates and stewed white lotus seeds, and a pool of fragrant red soup with a fine sweet taste drilled into the tip of the nose, so that the inner room was also warm.
Chu Yingman, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled, as if she was a little embarrassed, two red clouds flew up on her cheeks, and she whispered: "The old lady must have drunk a lot of precious tea, Yingman came from a humble background, and he couldn't take out anything decent, so he thought he could be more ingenious." The old lady's wish is to have more children and grandchildren under his knees, Yingman thought, this red date lotus seed tea is suitable. ”
Chu Yingman's voice is not loud, with just the right amount of softness and shyness, but not too pretentious, portraying the image of a new daughter-in-law who has just entered the door and wants to please her mother-in-law, and even Jing Yan on the side looks at it, and feels that she seems to have believed her.
Sure enough, the last trace of seriousness on the old lady's face disappeared in an instant, and she said repeatedly: "Good, good!" ”
Immediately glanced at Ruihong beside him, the other party immediately understood, took out two bulging red envelopes and stuffed them into Chu Yingman's hands, and then helped her up with both hands, and said softly: "Madam, get up quickly, the ground is cold." ”
Chu Yingman got up slowly, and Lianbu walked lightly to the chair on the side, not full, and looked very respectful sideways.
The old lady liked it more and more, and felt that it was not enough, so she asked Ruihong to take out a pair of Chaoyang five phoenix hanging bead hairpins from her jewelry box, one to Chu Yingman, and one to Jing Yan.
"This pair of hairpins was married to me when I married to the Zheng Guo Mansion, you can take it."
Jing Yan's heart moved, but Chu Yingman on the other side moved faster, he had already knelt down, and said in fear: "How can Yingman have such a valuable gift under his hands, please take it back from the old lady!" ”
Jing Yan raised her eyes to look at the old lady, a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she slowly spoke: "Grandmother is such a valuable gift, Yan'er shouldn't have accepted it." But grandmother has already taken it out, Yan'er didn't accept it anymore, but brushed off her grandmother's kindness, this is embarrassing or make it for Yan'er! ”
Mrs. Gao was amused by her, and it was rare that she didn't have such a happy smile: "Look, Yingman, this girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, in the future, you will discipline me well!" ”
Chu Yingman was still kneeling on the ground, neither standing, nor continuing to kneel, so she could only laugh awkwardly with her. Although she knew that she had to be soft to deal with Mrs. Gao, she didn't know that excessive weakness would make the strong look down on her, and at this point, she obviously underestimated Jing Yan, who had been with Mrs. Gao for nearly a year.
However, Chu Yingman had made sufficient preparations in advance, and now asked Mei Xing to bring a food box up. The food box is not a mountain delicacy, but some exquisite street and alley snacks, walnut crisp, honey crispy peanuts, hibiscus cakes, fried sprinkles, etc., a piece of gold, and steaming, just looking at it makes people very appetizing.
Mrs. Gao smiled, picked up a mung bean cake and tasted it, and immediately nodded: "This tastes good." ”
She turned her face, looked at Jing Yan and sighed: "When I was a child, I also followed my mother to buy mung bean cake on the street, which is such a taste, and now I can eat it again, as if the scene at that time was right in front of me." ”
Although Gao Lao Taijun's mother is the wife of Jixing Hou, but when the old Jixing Marquis had accompanied the emperor to fight outside, he had no time to take care of their mother and daughter.
Of course, Jing Yan also knew about such a thing from the prince of Huai Wang, as for why Chu Yingman was able to coincidentally send mung bean cake to the Gao family under such circumstances, the meaning of it is worth figuring out.
"Silkworm, did you make all this yourself?"
Chu Yingman smiled shyly: "Yes." ”
Mei Xing, who was beside her, immediately said: "Old lady, my wife got up at dawn in order to do this......
"Mei Xing, don't talk too much." Chu Yingman reprimanded softly, and turned her head again, "It's just some ordinary food, which can't compare to the delicacies of the mountains and seas that the old lady has eaten." ”
"No matter how much you eat from the mountains and seas, you will know that home-cooked food is the best." Gao sighed, "Yingman, you are a sensible child, I will rest assured that the affairs of the house will be handed over to you in the future, okay, Yan Er Jing'er, you have officially met your mother." ”
Jing Yan stood up and owed slightly, and was helped up by Chu Yingman with a smile and gave a pair of jade pendants, while Wang Jing on the other side had a flat face, seeing Chu Yingman's kind smile, she didn't feel cold at all, but she was blessed, took a jasper comb as a meeting gift, and left ahead of time under the pretext of being unwell.
"There is also a string of Yingluo here, which is for Shu'er, and next time I will personally send it to Tingsonglou to her."
Jing Yan smiled in her heart after hearing this, this Chu Yingman took care of her concubine and concubine very properly.
When leaving, Wang Jing was helped down by a face-to-face mother. The mother was tall and big, with a long face, and very majestic.
"Who's that?" Jing Yan asked Chu Qing in a low voice.
"It was Mother Lu who was brought over by the new lady, who took care of the second lady."
Jing Yan watched the tall and tall Mother Lu gradually walk away with Wang Jing, and suddenly had an idea in her heart.
"I really haven't eaten anything from my mother's food here, I wonder if I can bring some back?"
Chu Yingman was obviously a little surprised, she looked at the old lady's face, and then smiled softly: "That's natural, I'll make more for you what Yan'er wants to eat!" ”
"No need, I can't eat so much alone, Ruihong, take the rest back to the young lady." Gao said with a smile.
Although Chu Yingman didn't know what Jing Yan was going to do, she still agreed with a smile.
Just when the old lady was about to go back to rest, Chu Yingman suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and rested on the table with a crisp voice.
"Old lady, my daughter-in-law has a reluctant request."
