Chapter 8 Salutation

"My lady is not stupid." Banqin kowtowed and said hurriedly.

Mrs. Cheng in front of her raised her hand to stop her from speaking.

"I don't want to be a Qi Niang, I don't want to be a Qi Niang." Here Cheng Liuniang sat and knocked down the backgammon board in front of her, making a brushing sound, coupled with her shouting, the room was in chaos.

"Don't make any noise." Mrs. Cheng frowned and shouted.

Cheng Liuniang was still afraid of her mother, so she pouted and didn't dare to shout again.

The room was cleaner, and Mrs. Cheng took a breath and looked at the servant woman on the side.

"How old is the eldest lady this year?" She asked.

"I'm fourteen years old." Banqin hurriedly replied.

Mrs. Cheng glanced at her with some disgust, and the servant woman also glanced at Banqin with a little dissatisfaction.

Frizzy and untutored.

"Mrs. Hui, I will be fourteen years old after the Dragon Boat Festival." The servant woman said, "Half a year older than Si Niang and Wu Niang." ”

Mrs. Cheng has a little reminiscence.

"yes, I remember they were pregnant on their front and back feet." She said.

At that time, Zhou's pregnancy in the second room of the Cheng family, the family was relieved, and in order to pray for the child to show their generosity, Zhou's also stopped the medicine of the concubines, so after Zhou's pregnancy for half a year, the two concubines in the second room also had bodies.

I still remember the joy of the whole family at that time, Mrs. Cheng turned the book every day to count the name, but I didn't expect...

Mrs. Cheng sighed.

How happy he was at the time, how angry he was in the future, so the eldest lady in the second room was regarded as not a member of the Cheng family, and even the ranking was deliberately forgotten.

"She's nickname," she asked, thinking for a moment.

"Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang, my lady's name is Jiao Niang, and she was given by the old lady." Banqin replied happily.

Jiao Niang....

Mrs. Cheng pouted in her heart.

"Then it's still called Jiao Niang, after all, it's the old lady's heart." She said.

Cheng Liuniang breathed a sigh of relief, great, she didn't have to change her name.

"Big lady, my lady is ranked fourth in the family, so the daily name..."Banqin said hesitantly.

The children of the Cheng family are not arranged in order, as if they are not the children of the Cheng family, and it is not good to say it.

"It's called Jiao Niang Jiao Niang, don't you understand this little hoof?" Cheng Liuniang shouted.

Looking at the wanton behavior of this lady who was slightly younger than her own lady in front of Mrs. Cheng, Banqin guessed that it was unpleasant, and as soon as she entered the house, she couldn't make trouble for her mother, Banqin hurriedly bowed her head on the floor and forgave her sins repeatedly.

"What more name could a little fool have!" Cheng Liuniang snorted and said, with a little comfort.

Banqin leaned over and hesitated.

"My lady is already fine, not stupid." She said with a smile.

The people in the room were noncommittal.

"Really, eldest lady, my lady is really good." Banqin said hurriedly.

"Fools can't speak, what's good!" Cheng Liuniang cocked her nose and said with a small fan.

"Yes, yes, the lady can talk." Banqin hurriedly denied it, and looked at Mrs. Cheng again, "Mrs. Cheng, do you remember, at the door, my lady called her father." ”

Mrs. Cheng remembered in a trance, and under the lantern at the door, the woman lifted the Mi Li salute and shouted to her father.

The demeanor is dull, and the voice is wooden, like a doll pulling strings.

"You taught well, teach your lady well in the future." She said lightly and glanced at the little girl, "Are you the girl of the Zhou family?" ”

Banqin nodded and shook her head.

"The slave maid was bought by Mrs. Zhou, but she gave it to the lady, so she is not a member of the Zhou family." She said.

That's not our Cheng family, Mrs. Cheng didn't bother to say more, and looked at the servant.

"It's still the same yard, dial an old woman over, and then a little girl who sprinkles and sweeps, and the small kitchen also dials one." She said.

The servant woman replied.

"Go down, go back and serve well...... Lady. Mrs. Cheng said, looking at Banqin.

Half celery responded.

"My lady is really not stupid, Mrs. and the old man should see it." She said.

It's troublesome enough if you don't see it...

Mrs. Cheng hummed.

"She's not in good health, don't see her, take care of it." She said lightly.

Before Banqin could say anything, the servant woman glared at her impatiently and stood up first.

"Let's go." She said, hurrying Banqin to get up.

Banqin had to get up and quit.

"Pay attention in the future, no one should go to that courtyard, let me know the Tao, and send you to the Taoist Temple for cultivation!"

Mrs. Cheng's words came from the house.

Banqin was a little stupid, and when she returned home, not only could she not officially see her father, mother, uncle and aunt, but even her sisters were not allowed to approach, and she was still isolated from home.

"My lady is really not stupid." She said.

The servant woman who led her out glanced at her with her eyelids, and didn't even bother to speak.

Who is this fool for?

Banqin returned to the house, and Cheng Jianniang sat in front of the window looking at what she was thinking outside, or just in a daze.

"Lady?" Banqin shouted cautiously.

Yesterday she suddenly fell and fainted, which really frightened her, but fortunately, the lady woke up quickly, and she didn't become a fool again, but she didn't like to talk anymore.

"Tea." Cheng Jianniang said.

Banqin responded happily, knelt on the low table on the other side, and made a bowl of tea.

Cheng Jianniang's hands were not flexible, Banqin took a spoon to feed her, and after only one bite, Cheng Jianniang frowned.

"It's unpalatable, it's not tea." She said, shutting her mouth and refusing to eat.

"Lady, tea is like this." Banqin said.

The lady's picky eating problem is getting worse and worse.

"It's not." Cheng Jianniang said, simple and insistent.

Banqin is helpless.

In the previous paragraph, in order to maintain her health, Cheng Jianniang dispensed medicine for herself, did not eat tea, and only drank white water or rice wine, but now that she doesn't take the medicine, do you still want to drink only white water and wine?

"Lady, really, it's good to get used to eating." She coaxed.

Such a good tea, I couldn't eat it before.

Cheng Jianniang has never compromised on eating and drinking, Banqin gave up after two persuasions, looked at the half bowl of sencha, and drank it all in one breath in line with the principle of not wasting it.

It's just delicious.

Looking back, Cheng Jianniang was still sitting upright and looking out of the window, Banqin poured her a glass of white water and held it over, and followed to look outside.

Outside the window, the flowers and vines are entwined with trees, the emerald stone base, and half of the lotus pond can be seen through the gap, if there is no block of this vine mountain stone, it should be an excellent good scenery, of course, if it is really such a good scenery, it is impossible to keep it and wait for their master and servant to use.

"Lady, are you sad?" Banqin thought of the events of the past few days, and said a little depressed.

When I used to be a fool, others were ignorant of disgust and disgust, but now I am not stupid, and I can hear and see how embarrassing it should be.

"Sad." Cheng Jianniang replied quickly this time.

Hearing her say that she was sad, Banqin became a little nervous again.

"Lady, don't be sad, that's because you just came back, everyone is still unfamiliar, just wait to get acquainted, you are the daughter of the Cheng family, these are your relatives..."

Cheng Jianniang didn't listen to a word of half-celery chattering persuasion, she looked out the window and only felt sad.

The sour and astringent feeling has been haunting my heart since yesterday.

What's even sadder is that she doesn't know what to feel sorry for.
