Chapter 078 [6000 Words]
Gu Nancy sneered: "Grandpa, dare you make fun of your grandson?" Snatch? Could it be that I'm still an object? ”
"Objects?" Old Man Gu stared at him, and the old god snorted coldly on the ground: "You kid is not a thing!" ”
Here, Gu Nancy's face suddenly darkened, but Ji Xinyao couldn't hold back a smile on her lips, trying to keep quiet, and she was playing the air very seriously.
"Ouch, Dad, didn't you ask Xiaoqing to accompany you to play chess on the second floor, you haven't eaten yet, why are you coming down now......" He Jiezhen's voice suddenly came from behind the door that was pushed open in the corner of the hall, until she saw them blocked in front of the door, and suddenly smiled with joy in her eyes: "Xin Yao is here!" 弼"
"Mom." Finally there was a person who treated her with a good face, Xin Yao turned her head, nodded respectfully to He Jiezhen, who came over there, and sent the gift box in her hand: "This is the tonic I bought for my grandfather......
"Yo, this kid, it's all a family, what kind of gifts do you bring?" As soon as He Jiezhen came out, she saw the situation in front of her, hurriedly walked over to play the round, happily took the exquisite gift box, looked down and looked at it and said in surprise: "It's still first-class deer antlers, Dad, just give you wine to drink!" Look at how much heart we have! ”
Old man Gu was teaching his grandson a lesson at this time, when his daughter-in-law suddenly came out to play a round, his face couldn't hold his face, he didn't go to pick up the gift box, and the crutches in his hand were heavy on the ground, and he said coldly: "Our Gu family still lacks this box of deer antlers?" An outsider is needed to deliver it! ”
"Grandpa......" Wen Qing immediately gently tugged at the sleeve of the old man's shirt: "After all, Sister Xin Yao came to our house for the first time, and if you say this, I won't dare to give you deer antler velvet in the future." ”
"Why don't you dare to send it?" The old man snorted.
"There is the deer antler given by Sister Xin Yao, where will you use the things I bought for you......" Wen Qing lowered her eyes.
"Even if it's soaking wine, the old man, I only use the deer antler velvet that Wen Qing bought to soak it, and I'm afraid of poisoning myself to death for outsiders' things!"
As he spoke, the old man turned around and walked away with an angry face: "Xiaoqing, come with grandpa." ”
"Grandpa, you go slowly, be careful with your legs and ......feet" Wen Qing hurriedly helped the old man carefully, raised her head before turning around, reluctantly glanced at Gu Nancy, who was expressionless, and then turned around and followed the old man inside.
"Hmph, I can't die! Nancy's unfilial grandson didn't make me angry to death, what are you afraid of when you take these two steps! Before Grandpa saw you marry Nancy, even if black and white impermanence came to hook the soul, I could also raise the barrel of a gun and drive away those ghosts who wanted my life! Ahem...... cough ......" As he spoke, the old man's temperament became bigger and bigger, and he was in a hurry, coughing again and again.
Wen Qing took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his mouth while helping the old man with his hand.
The old man smacked his lips in satisfaction.
Seeing Wen Qing helping the old man upstairs, He Jiezhen glanced at Wang Ma, who came out later: "Wang Ma, come here." ”
Wang Ma's eyes were quite sharp, and as soon as she saw her wife's eyes, she hurriedly walked over and took the initiative to take Ji Xinyao's bag and another gift box in Gu Nancy's hand.
Gu Nancy glanced back at Ji Xinyao, and she also raised her eyes to look at him.
"The old man seems to really dislike me......" she whispered, "I'm here, is he comfortable with this Mid-Autumn Festival?" Otherwise, I'd better go! ”
Before Gu Nancy could speak, He Jiezhen suddenly interjected: "Xin Yao, don't be careful, the old man has this problem, he has carried Wen Qing into the house more than 20 years ago, in his heart, the status of the whole family is not as important as Wen Qinglai, not to mention that Nancy grew up next to his crutches since she was a child, even Yufei, her own granddaughter, the old man doesn't hurt much!" ”
Hearing He Jiezhen say this, Ji Xinyao didn't know if she was comforting herself, so she couldn't help but look sideways at Gu Nancy, wanting to get confirmation from him, and then she got the answer in Gu Nancy's eyes.
It seems that no one can really do anything about this partiality of the old man.
But she was also a little relieved because of this, and hurriedly said to He Jiezhen: "Mom, I didn't care too much, this marriage was too hasty, and it was inevitable that grandpa would be unhappy." ”
"Yes, this marriage is indeed too hasty, but it has already been concluded, and my mother only hopes that you two will have a good time, as for Xiaoqing, I hope she can think about it sooner." He Jiezhen was not biased towards anyone, and said something sincerely, and then motioned for them to go in: "Come in and sit, don't be at the door like this, the old man just bluffed you, Xin Yao, you are now the daughter-in-law of our Gu family after all, and no one can turn you away!" ”
"Where's Dad?" Gu Nancy and Xin Yao walked to the sandalwood bench in the middle of the living room, which was full of Chinese-style folk charm, and turned around and asked casually.
He Jiezhen said: "It rained too much last night, Xiaoqing was afraid of thunder, so I went to her side to accompany her for a night, and was coaxed back by Xiaoqing this morning, and I didn't see your father when I came back." I heard Xiaoqing say, your father has been busy in the military region these days, and he just called back and said that he was on his way back, and he should be there in an hour. ”
Gu Nancy nodded lightly, and lowered her eyes to see Ji Xinyao sitting on the chair with a restrained face: "Your face has been so bad all day, if you are not feeling well, let Wang Ma take you to my room to lie down." ”
"No, I'm fine." Ji Xinyao said busily, that is, the cold last night didn't seem to be good, and now her head is starting to feel a little dizzy, but she won't go to rest when she first arrives, how can she be so pampered.
But Gu Nancy suddenly reached out and put it on her forehead, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she asked in a voice that only she could hear, "Do you really have a fever?" ”
Ji Xinyao rolled her eyes at him, raised her hand and slapped his hand hard, and said in a low voice: "It's not that you are cursed by nonsense!" That's how you got the crow's mouth! ”
Gu Nancy immediately smiled.
Suddenly, catching a glimpse of He Jiezhen, who was looking at them with a smile over there, Ji Xinyao suddenly had a small flush on her face, and found that the two of them seemed to be really a little too intimate at this moment, so she lowered her head and stopped squeaking.
Although she was in Gu Mansion and the old man's dismissal just now, she was a little nervous, but seeing the natural care in Gu Nancy's eyes and the smile in He Jiezhen's eyes, she also relaxed a little.
"You sit down first, I'll go see grandpa. If you don't feel well, let Wang Ma take you to rest. Gu Nancy whispered, and when Ji Xinyao nodded, she turned around and went upstairs.
He Jiezhen seems to really like to soak in the kitchen, even if she is really not busy, but when a maid is cooking dinner, her eyes still glance at the kitchen from time to time, as if she is afraid of missing something, and finally she can't hold on, and she turns around and runs into the kitchen.
About two minutes later, Wang Ma made tea and came over, gently put it on the wooden coffee table in front of Ji Xinyao, and said with a kind smile: "Young lady, this is the Tieguanyin that General Gu and the old man like to drink the most, and I haven't had time to prepare other weak tea at home except for this tea, if you can't get used to it, I will ask someone to buy some weak tea tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, Mom Wang, I'm not used to drinking tea, don't bother too much, I usually only drink plain water." Ji Xinyao nodded politely at the round-looking but kind-looking Wang Ma.
Wang Ma looked at her with a smile: "The young lady is too polite." ”
Ji Xinyao smiled at her: "I see that you are an elder in the Gu family for many years, I am a junior after all, and you should be polite." ”
Wang Ma suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and when she heard someone calling her in the compartment, she smiled kindly at Xin Yao again, and turned around to get busy.
Looking at Wang Ma's figure, Ji Xinyao couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
There was once a servant in the Ji family who was called Wang Ma, she had taken care of them outside for a few years, and since her mother committed suicide, Wang Ma sent her and Xiu Li to the Ji family, and then worked as a maid in the Ji family, she was very protective of them, but when Ji Xinyao was ten years old, she had a serious illness and died like this.
So as soon as Ji Xinyao saw this Wang Ma, she felt very cordial in her heart.
She raised her head, looked at the ground under her feet, looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite, and looked at the room full of exquisite ornaments and vases and porcelain with excellent workmanship.
She was thinking, she and Gu Nancy were originally in the sky and on the ground, and there was also a difference between her and Wen Qing, the original marriage was just a measure of rights and interests, but if the old man forced her, she must let Gu Nancy marry Wen Qing, so what should she do......
Divorced?
Still is......
Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps on the other side of the stairs, and she subconsciously turned her head, only to see Wen Qing, who was going and returning, standing on the stairs and looking at her.
Ji Xinyao was stunned, and inexplicably felt that Wen Qing's bright eyes seemed to have a lot of things to say, and she couldn't help but stare at her like this.
"Suddenly come to Gu's house, are you still used to it?" It seems that this is Wen Qing's posture in the Gu family on weekdays, just walking down step by step gracefully, with a simple smile on her face, looking at the doubts in her eyes, and walking towards her.
The warmth in front of him is different from the warmth and sunshine that is faintly and deliberately saying those words.
So in the eyes of the Gu family, the one in front of him is the real Wen Qing, right?
If so, then she has to admire the simple and innocent little girl in front of her, who seems to be very innocent, He Jiezhen once comforted Wen Qing with her eyes for those blatant provocations, Gu Nancy also explained to her because of what Wen Qing said, he also said that Wen Qing's gap in her heart is too big now, so she has these actions.
Wen Qing is Gu Nancy's younger sister who grew up watching her, no matter how willful she is, she naturally doesn't think of her too complicated, but from Ji Xinyao's point of view, even if she doesn't want to compete with Wen Qing for anything, but from her "simple" eyes, she still can't ignore those bright hostilities like that.
There has never been true harmony between women and women, especially between rivals in love, not to mention that none of them are fools, they all know how to control and let go freely, and they have never faced each other head-to-head for so long.
At this time, Gu Nancy went upstairs to see the old man, Wen Qing suddenly came downstairs and walked down as the owner of a family, Ji Xinyao thought, this "little princess" with Gu Nancy's childhood sweetheart in Ji Chengcheng's mouth really began to sit still.
"That's the favorite Tieguanyin of grandpa and godfather, it is a century-old tea house in Fujian that sends the best Tieguanyin every year, grandpa is old, can't drink too strong tea, but every day like an old child let me carry my family to help him get more tea." As she spoke, Wen Qing had already walked over, and her eyes fell on the cup of tea beside Ji Xinyao.
"It can be seen that the old man likes you very much." Ji Xinyao smiled sincerely and looked directly into Wen Qing's eyes: "Having you by his side to recuperate for the rest of his life must be the happiest thing for the old man." ”
The smile in Wen Qing's eyes couldn't help but add a little pride, and she glanced at the two ink paintings at the bottom of the stairs: "Those two paintings were specially learned by me when I was in high school, and they were given to him by my grandfather on his seventy-fifth birthday, and they have been framed there since then, and they have been framed there for so many years...... Looking at it now, it's naïve, don't laugh when you see it~"
Ji Xinyao looked at the two paintings quietly: "It turned out that you painted it?" I don't know much about it, but I can only say it's really good-looking. ”
Seeing her deprecating herself like this, with no edge at all, Wen Qing couldn't help but glance at her, and looked at her like this for a long time before saying, "Godfather will wait for a while to come back, Nancy is talking to grandpa, do you want to go out for a walk with me?" ”
"Well, I'm just thinking it's boring to sit here alone."
Wen Qing bent her lips, as if she had restrained herself a little because she found the softness and lack of sharpness in Ji Xinyao's words, and turned around and walked towards the door.
Ji Xinyao may have learned the most over the years is to know how to observe words and colors, she doesn't look down on Wen Qing's words, in order to show her importance in the Gu family, and her status in the Gu family, she is also a soft nail, but she Ji Xinyao is pretending to be stupid, and the soft nail can't get a response, Wen Qing naturally no longer uses words to force each other.
If she guessed correctly, now Wen Qing is about to retreat and talk to her about her heart-to-heart......
This Wen Qing is much smarter than she imagined, at least in the Gu family, she knows how to restrain her temperament, and her advance and retreat are breathtaking.
"I grew up in my family, and for as long as I can remember, there was only one boy like Nancy."
The two of them walked along the cobblestone path, through the scattered bamboo forests on both sides, and slowly paced by a natural swimming pool in the front yard of the Gu Mansion that had not been polished too much.
Listening to Wen Qing's words, Ji Xinyao didn't say anything, and quietly looked at the natural stones around the pool, and the corners of some stones were still very sharp, which showed that few people came to use this pool, but it was just pretended to be a pair of stone surrounding pools.
"Nancy loves me very much, since I was a child, no matter if I was crying or making trouble, as long as he was by my side to hug me, wipe my tears for me, push Yufei who always bullied me aside, and protect me behind me again and again, when I was very young, I thought, when I grow up, I will marry him......"
"Xin Yao, in fact, I can understand that you are also a victim of that incident, this marriage, in fact, even you are reluctant, right?" Wen Qing suddenly turned her head to look at her.
Ji Xinyao raised her eyes suddenly, met her eyes full of inquiry, and couldn't answer for a while, she could only stiffly look at the tears in her eyes that were as moving as Lin Daiyu, and only felt a little messy in the wind.
If she guessed so accurately, I really talked to her heart-to-heart!
"Before you got married, Nancy promised grandpa that after the Spring Festival next year, he would find a good day to fulfill his wish, and we should have taken wedding photos in recent months and started trying on wedding dresses, but the news more than two months ago turned all the happiness we had conceived into nothing." Wen Qing said with a wry smile: "Actually, Nancy is also very disappointed, but in order to calm the public opinion, he also took the responsibility of that piece of news, and he had to marry you, I know that the marriage between the two of you is not happy." ”
"Actually, Xin Yao, if this marriage gives you too many constraints, you should leave."
"Miss Wen, you may have misunderstood." Ji Xinyao finally couldn't help it, this TNND is too whimsical pediatric!
Since you want to be Lin Daiyu, then the old lady should naturally let you use Xue Baochai's methods, you think that this sympathetic drama is useful to others, but it may not be effective in my Ji Xinyao!
It seems that although this girl is smart, she is more or less used to being used to by Old Man Gu or is still a little naïve, doesn't she know that there has never been a real sympathy between women and women, and it is already the limit to be able to get by on the surface, and now in this world, anyone who can really talk to you is a fool who has never done anything in the world.
She Wen Qing is not a stupid fork, and she Ji Xinyao is even more not!
"The decision of this marriage has never been up to me, whether you want to comfort me or sympathize with my misfortune, I think I can only thank you spiritually Miss Wen for your heart, as for the relationship between me and Gu Nancy, it seems that no one can say anything. As for what you say about marriage being my bondage, this is completely non-existent! ”
Wen Qing looked at her for a while, and smiled softly: "After all, you just don't want to let go, do you?" ”
"My own husband, why should I let go?" Ji Xinyao's clear eyes looked at her like this, there was no hostility in her eyes, and there was no half-point demonstration or weakness, she was just stating a fact.
Since Gu Nancy didn't treat this marriage as a child's play, and would keep a proper distance when Wen Qing wanted to get closer, what reason did she have to back down?
"Your husband?" The smile in Wen Qing's eyes finally added a touch of arrogance: "In addition to the marriage certificate, there are a small number of people who have read the news who can prove your relationship, who else knows that Nancy is married?" Are you engaged? Have you ever had a wedding? Have you ever seen each other's relatives? Have you ever taken a wedding photo? And rings, do you have them? Seeing that you get along so politely and strangely, he must have been not interested in touching you from beginning to end, right? ”
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and took out a white gold necklace with a diamond ring hanging from between her collar, and the bottom of the ring seemed to be engraved with the letters WQ.
"This is the wedding ring that my grandfather asked Nancy and me to customize last year, the rings are a pair, one engraved with my initials, and the other with Nancy's initials, that ring should still be with Nancy, haven't you seen it?"
Wen Qing's little face exuded a trace of softness and firmness in the moonlight, as if she believed that Nancy had always loved her, so she looked at her for a moment: "Ji Xinyao, apart from the fact that you are his wife in law, what are you?" ”
