Chapter 25 Looking
Cheng Liuniang pulled Cheng Qiniang out of the nurse's arms.
"What the hell do you see? What did she do? She asked.
At this time, they were already standing outside the courtyard gate, frightened.
"That's not right, I entered the door just now and at my aunt's place, it doesn't look like there's anything to be afraid of?" Cheng Siniang stroked her chest and said.
It's just beautiful...
"Are they all pretending to be in front of people? When there is no one, it is just like what Liuniang saw at the beginning, with eyes like this, and mouth like this" Cheng Wuniang gestured with a little horror.
Everyone thought of the last time this stupid lady secretly went to see Cheng Liuniang's description after entering the door.
All eyes fell on Cheng Qi Niang.
"Say it." Cheng Liuniang shook Cheng Qiniang and urged.
Cheng Qiniang was a little palpitating.
"She, she, sleeps with her eyes open." She said.
Everyone present was stunned.
Sleep with your eyes open...
That's horrible...
Cheng Liuniang stomped her foot and reached out to push Cheng Qiniang.
"Are you stupid?" She said angrily, "If you open your eyes, you haven't slept!" ”
Yes?
That's right!
Everyone present reacted, and they were immediately angry, wanted to laugh, and were inexplicably ashamed.
"You're really, why are you so daring!" Cheng Siniang and Wu Niang couldn't help but complain.
"Cowardly?" Cheng Liuniang was even more straightforward, and snorted and said, "It's not cowardly, it's stupid!" So, it's your sister. ”
Cheng Qiniang pouted and looked aggrieved.
"I, I, the maidservant said she slept," she argued.
"Sleep is not dead. Can't you wake up? Cheng Liuniang said. Reached out and poked Cheng Qi Niang's forehead. "It's scary to wake up and close your eyes, okay?"
Cheng Qiniang was poked and covered her head.
"Oh, don't poke me." She shouted.
Cheng Liuniang looked at the gate of the courtyard and stretched out her hand to push her away.
"Get out of the way, it's useless." She said, taking a deep breath, straightening her clothes, and walking inside.
Cheng Qiniang pouted aggrievedly and raised her heels.
Cheng Siniang and Cheng Wuniang hesitated and hurriedly followed.
The door had been opened, and a maidservant girl was walking by with a tray.
Cheng Liuniang walked indoors. I looked left and right, and then I saw a woman sitting in front of a few cases by the window.
A woman of her own age sat upright, her legs covered by a floral skirt, and her long shawl hair and blue satin blouse poured down on the ground.
The slender and white hand was taking the water handed by the maidservant, and when he heard the movement here, he looked up slightly, his eyes were upright but a little relaxed and casual.
Cheng Siniang, Wu Niang, Qi Niang and others also walked next to each other, looking at each other, and there was a strange silence in the room.
It's obviously my own house, and nothing has changed. Just this morning she had embroidered a handkerchief in the house, and the needlework and bandage had not yet been confiscated. There were a few cases by the window, why did I suddenly feel so strange, as if I had come to someone else's room.
Cheng Qiniang took a step forward, as if to prove her identity as the owner, and stretched out her hand to point to a few cases.
"Hey, it's just, let you rest here for a while, you, don't touch my things." She said.
Cheng Jianniang glanced at her, and her gaze was upright.
"Okay." She said, putting down the water bowl, looking at the four women standing in the room, and stretched out her hand, "Sit." ”
Cheng Liuniang and the four of them subconsciously bowed down and returned the salute, sat down shortly, and sat halfway before coming back to their senses.
Just kidding, they are the daughters of this family, and they have lived for a long time, why did this foreign woman who was less than a day old put the Lord's money in front of them?
"You, really?" Cheng Liuniang shook off her clothes vigorously, sat up straight and looked at Cheng Jianniang and asked.
"How much is this?" Cheng Qiniang stretched out her hand and asked.
Before Cheng Jianniang could answer, Cheng Liuniang slapped her hand.
"My aunt has already asked." She whispered.
Regarding the rudeness of these ladies, Cheng Jianniang just smiled slightly.
"The last time I came back, it was fine." Cheng Jianniang said, "Otherwise, do you think a fool can return to Jiangzhou from Bingzhou by himself?" ”
If you think a fool can do that, then you are a fool.
Cheng Liuniang nodded, and immediately came back to her senses.
"That's your servant girl who has the money to hire someone to deliver it." She said, glancing at the servant girl Banqin on the side.
"The lady has lifted the slave and the maid." Banqin Shili said with a smile.
Cheng Jianniang obviously didn't intend to waste her tongue on this matter, so she didn't answer, picked up a comb and combed her hair, and Banqin hurriedly got up to pull her sideburns.
Looking at the two masters and servants who described themselves at ease, Cheng Liuniang and the others sitting in the hall were a little overwhelmed.
"How do you prove that a fool is not a fool?" She asked in a low voice.
Cheng Siniang and Wu Niang all looked embarrassed.
"Do you still need a card?" They whispered, while looking at Cheng Jianniang who was dressing up, her hair was pulled up, and her forehead was full, her eyes were black and bright, and there was obviously no ornament, but it made people feel dazzling.
If such a person is a fool, I am afraid that all women in the world are willing to be fools....
"It doesn't matter if she's a fool or not, it's because of her parents." Cheng Liuniang snorted and said, turned her head to look at Cheng Qiniang on the side, and raised her chin, "For example, Qiniang is not good-looking, and it's not her fault." ”
"What's wrong with me?" Cheng Qiniang shouted.
"I just mean what if."
"If you're not good-looking."
"You're not good-looking, and the child's family really doesn't make sense."
Cheng Qiniang's cry sounded in the house, and the servants outside the door also rushed in to comfort her.
There was a lot of noise here, and Cheng Jiaoniang's master and servant over there were still idly holding their sideburns, taking off their blouses, and changing into outer robes.
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble..."Cheng Liuniang said, stretching out her hand to push Cheng Qiniang, "She's gone, she's gone." ”
Everyone looked up and saw Cheng Jianniang walking past them.
"Hey." Cheng Liuniang shouted.
Cheng Jianniang stopped to look at her, condescending.
"What?" She asked.
"You, why are you going?" Cheng Liuniang asked.
"I'm going to see the man in the house." Cheng Jianniang said.
The man in this house?
"It's Master Cheng." Banqin added on the side.
Cheng Jianniang nodded, raised her feet and walked out.
Seeing her walk out of the house, Cheng Liuniang and the others came back to their senses and got up in a hurry.
"Anyway, I think she, she's just a fool, weird." Cheng Liuniang said.
Cheng Siniang and Wu Niang also nodded, looking at the back of the woman outside.
"I don't know if I'm stupid, but it's a little weird." They said.
"But, she's good-looking." Cheng Qiniang said, while raising her hand to wipe her tears, "With such a sister, if you go out, it must be very beautiful." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the voice of Mrs. Cheng Er outside the door.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Jiao Niang, why did you come out? …… Qi Niang, Qi Niang, are you arguing that your sister is resting? Didn't you say that you wouldn't be allowed to quarrel with your sister? See that I don't punish you! ”
Cheng Qiniang's face suddenly pulled down again.
"I don't want my sister anymore!" She stamped her foot and shouted.
Second Mrs. Cheng grabbed Cheng Jianniang.
"Where are you going?" She asked in surprise.
"Go see Master Cheng." Cheng Jianniang said.
"Don't be in a hurry to see you, you can rest for one night first, and wait for tomorrow's old lady, old man, let's see you together." Second Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.
"I'm going to ask him for something." Cheng Jianniang said.
Want something?
Second Mrs. Cheng's eyes lit up, and she didn't need to use force to hold Cheng Jianniang's hand.
Sure enough, the Zhou family sent her back for a purpose...
It's still a good means of the Zhou family, no wonder they have been silent, asking people to leave, and then teaching them, dressing up, and pushing a glamorous and good person in front of people.
It's a good person, not a fool, so everyone can listen to what you say, but it's not what you say.
"Jiao Niang, you come with me first, I'll tell you something." Second Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"Jiao Niang, what about me, although I am your stepmother, but I am dedicated to your good..."Second Mrs. Cheng said.
Cheng Jianniang and Banqin both looked at her.
"You, Yixin, for my good?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
Although Mrs. Cheng was hairy, her expression remained unchanged on her face, and she sighed.
"I know you don't believe it." She said, gently wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I am your stepmother after all..."
Cheng Jianniang nodded and interrupted her.
"I believe it." She said.
It's true? Second Mrs. Cheng was a little surprised and raised her eyes to look at her.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her and smiled slightly.
"Nature is true." She said, "If you believe it, I will believe it." ”
