Chapter 9: Weddings (3)
Sitting upright on the edge of the bed, Qu Ning had not had time to completely sort out her chaotic thoughts, she had already heard the footsteps outside the door from far and near, mixed with the woman's crisp laughter and conversation.
Someone's coming. The voice sounded like a very young girl. Who will it be?
The footsteps had stopped outside the door by this time, and the sound of laughter was slightly interrupted, and then someone reached out and pushed open the hidden door.
Qu Ning looked up at the right time and saw three girls holding hands. After just looking at it, she was vaguely relieved in her heart: it should be the ladies of the Tang family, not some aunts and wives.
At a quick glance, the three girls who came in arm in arm were only teenagers, and at first glance, their appearances were somewhat similar to each other, showing their blood relationship.
Standing on the far left, Fang was the first to reach out and push the door open, and the girl who was retracting her hand at this time had a particularly gorgeous appearance, a plump and round figure, which was the kind of beauty that symbolized *. Her bumpy beauty was probably the type that men preferred, and likewise she was the deepest and most striking of the three. Xu knows her own advantages, and the clothes on her body are also made to be close-fitting, revealing her curves at a glance.
And at this moment, standing in the middle, looking down at her toes, the girl who was caught between left and right only raised her head timidly when she entered the door. She has a small face with a pointed chin and a big palm, and in terms of temperament, she is very cute. But she always lowered her eyelids and didn't look at people, but she was a little cringe, if it weren't for the face that had four or five points of imagination with Tang Zhong, she almost didn't look like a young lady born in a military family at all. Qu Ning imagined Tang Zhong's serious face that had been stiff all day showing such a timid expression, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips slightly: It's too terrifying.
Compared with these two, the girl on the right who has been smiling and moaning since she entered the door, and the girl with a deep smile at the corner of her mouth looks extraordinarily calm, although her complexion is not the most outstanding, but the bookish atmosphere on her body has a kind of lady style of the old times. Every move and gesture looks as if they have been specially practiced.
The three girls have their own characteristics, although they all wear goose yellow dresses, but at a glance, they are definitely not happy that they will recognize the wrong person.
Glancing at the bride sitting on the edge of the bed, the girl on the left smiled and opened her mouth, and her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler: "I've seen my sister-in-law." I'm busy now, and I'm afraid that it will take a while for my brother to come back. The eldest brother was busy greeting guests, but he was worried that his sister-in-law would be bored sitting here alone, so he asked the three sisters to talk to his sister-in-law. This string of words is not hiccuped at all, and it is obviously very neat.
She paused slightly, pulled the sleeve of the girl in the middle who was tightly pursed and didn't open her mouth, smiled and blessed, and pointed to herself: "I am the fourth child in the family, and my maiden name is Xiangqin." This is my third sister, with a single name and a key word. β
The girl on the far right heard that she had finished her introduction, so she saluted Qu Ning: "The fourth sister has a lively temperament, she is a self-acquaintance, she has always talked a lot, sister-in-law, don't be scared by her." I am their second sister Yirou. β
After listening to their introduction, Qu Ning nodded with a smile, beckoned Su Qin and Bao Qin to bring a small gift that she had prepared a long time ago, and stuffed one into one person's hand: "You have to take care of it." Three sisters, let's get along well in the future. β
The three of them looked at each other and took what she had handed them. The calm Miss Tang Er took it and put it in her sleeve and said xiexie, Tang Jian took it and held it silently, while Miss Tang Si carefully pinched the red seal, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly. These three ...... It is worthy of being a lady in the house, and she is very scheming.
Qu Ning narrowed her eyes slightly: As she thought before, the Tang family's back house doesn't look simple.
The girl on the left is ranked fourth, and her name is a double character, called Tang Xiangqin, and the one on the right who walks the style of a mature and sensible lady is called Tang Yirou, which is also a double character. Both of them are lively and outgoing and likable, they can talk and get into trouble, and they are afraid that they are very favored. This can be seen from the fact that Tang Xiangqin is the youngest next year, but he spoke first and pushed the door first. On weekdays, I'm afraid that the top-notch is very strong. And was sandwiched between the two, with very few words, and even seemed to be a little autistic, but the girl was a single name, called Tang Key, from the moment she entered the door to now, she only dared to secretly look at her timidly from under the curtains, but she didn't say a word. This temperament is by no means a day's work, and she is just sandwiched between her sisters, if her shy and silent temperament is not pretended, then I am afraid that she is usually not very valued, so that even the introduction, you have to be cheerful and lively and pleasing sister to do it.
These two are introverts, and the introverted one is about to suffer a loss.
But things are not supposed to be this way. After all, it is very particular about choosing a name in a big family.
The single word is ε«‘, and the double word is εΊΆ, which is a continuation of the saying that the single name is noble and the double name is cheap in ancient times, that is to say, the Tang key who has the most no sense of existence is the one who should be the most noble and favored among the three of them, and it is also the one who should never develop this kind of timid nature.
Tang Zhong's real name is Tang Xi, and when he later rebelled, he changed his name to a final character, which represents the end of the old era. But no matter how you change it, it's still a one-word name.
Judging by the single and double names as a benchmark, this girl called Tang Key should be the serious descendant of the Tang family and the biological sister of Tang Zhong.
How did this supposed noble and favored concubine get raised crookedly and become like this?
What about Young Marshal Tang, does he know about this? Could it be that the man who is resolute and resolute in his external temperament and decisive in killing can't protect his biological sister? No matter how powerful a man is outside, if he can't even protect his relatives, it's useless! Don't say that men don't understand the affairs of the back house, 'self-cultivation Qi family governs the country and equalizes the world', if you can't even do the two words Qi family, then how can you talk about pacifying the world?
If that's the case, then she really should reevaluate this man.
In addition, did he let them accompany her, was he really afraid that she would be lonely and boring, or did he want her to see his three younger sisters first, so as to prepare for the situation of the Tang family?
Qu Ning's heart had already turned seventeen or eighteen thoughts in an instant, but his face didn't show much, he only smiled and took the hands of a few girls: "Since it's our sister-in-law who is talking, then my sister-in-law won't see a few sisters." I haven't been out of the palace since I was born, and I'm not more knowledgeable than my sisters, so I don't know what pastimes you do on weekdays? β
As she spoke, she turned to Tang Yirou and blinked: "Why don't you start with the second sister?" β
Tang Yirou's modest answer was not too unexpected for her: "Actually, we don't have much pastime, I just embroider with my sisters on weekdays, read books, nothing special." This answer is very in line with her old-fashioned ladylike temperament, but Tang Yirou quickly added, "But it's the third sister, who has always liked to play the Western piano, if there is anything special in our family, the first one is this piano sound." Has my sister-in-law ever heard the piano? β
Piano? These few sentences are a bit informative. I don't know if this Tang Yirou is intentional or unintentional - however, a deep house woman can touch the piano, and it must be approved by men. And the person who is most likely to help Tang Jian receive an education in playing the piano is Tang Shaoshuai, who once stayed abroad. In this way, at least in Tang Shaoshuai's heart, his own sister is still very important.
"Piano?" Qu Ning turned to Tang Jian and smiled with interest, "I don't know how many years the third sister has been studying piano?" My sister-in-law has never heard anyone play the piano, but I have heard that it is the emperor of Western musical instruments. If the third sister has time and doesn't dislike her sister-in-law, will her sister-in-law listen to her sister another day? β
Maybe it was because of the piano that Tang Key's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Since entering the door, she opened her mouth for the first time, looked squarely into Qu Ning's eyes, tilted her head slightly and asked, "Sister-in-law is interested in the piano?" But in an instant, her breath fell, her eyelids lowered again, and she flicked her slender fingers, "But I ...... I didn't play very well. β
is still willing to speak, it seems that it is not completely autistic, I am afraid that there is some "social phobia".
The smile on the corner of Qu Ning's mouth deepened: "Third sister, don't be modest, then it's decided, in a few days, when the weather is fine, I'll go to you to listen to you play the piano, I can't say it, I have to ask the third sister for advice, even if I can play a little bit." β
didn't give her any more time to be humble, Qu Ning immediately set the next 'date', and immediately chatted with them for a while, then heard heavy footsteps outside the door.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the man's steady steps.
Outside the window, the night was already late.
The hustle and bustle of the front yard has gradually quieted down at this time, as if the guests in the front yard have already left.
Tang Yirou got up with a smile and said goodbye: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid my brother is back." Our sisters' tasks are completed, so we won't delay my sister-in-law's rest here. β
After that, he took his two younger sisters and prepared to leave.
She opened the door, and sure enough, she saw Young Marshal Tang at the door preparing to come in. Seeing his three younger sisters at this moment, he nodded, and then stuffed a handful of candy into each of them.
The man's magnetic and pleasant voice sounded in a low voice: "It's hard for you to accompany your sister-in-law, go back to rest early, and be more careful on the road." β
The girl's crisp voice: "Brother is polite." β
The sound of chirping was far away, and Young Marshal Tang stepped into the door, waved away the two maids who were about to come up to change his clothes, and closed the door with his backhand.
About a lot of drinking, far away, Qu Ning can still smell the smell of wine on his body, but he is probably the kind of person who can't drink on his face, at first glance, except for bloodshot eyes, his face is not the slightest red, and his steps are quite steady.
Seeing that the bride dressed in red was about to come over to help him, Tang finally rubbed the corners of his forehead: "Wait for me for a while, I'll wash it first." β
After saying that, he shook slightly and walked into the clean room.
