Chapter 172: Showing Kindness
After Ning Jinyun sat down, Zhang Yuyao brought her a few patterns, including a picture of peach blossoms full of mountains, a picture of magpie branches, a picture of peonies, and a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She took these things and asked Ning Jinyun, "Which one do you think I should embroider, that magpie branch is a little too difficult, I may not be able to embroider well, but the others are fine." ”
Ning Jinyun thought that Zhang Yuyao hadn't gotten married yet, and it was a little inappropriate to embroider some mandarin ducks playing in the water, so she said, "The picture of the peach blossom is very good, if the second cousin likes the peach blossom flower, she can embroider that." ”
Zhang Yuyao was very happy, "Do you think this picture of the peach blossom mountain is good-looking?" Then I'll embroider this. By the way, you can help me pick the silk thread, there are three kinds of pink embroidery thread, I don't know which one is better to embroider the peach blossom. ”
Ning Jinyun took a closer look and pondered, "The one on the left is too bright, it can't embroider the elegance of the peach blossoms, and the one on the right is too shallow, if you use it, the peach blossoms will look too pale." It's better to be in the middle, and the color is just right. ”
Zhang Yuyao picked up the embroidery thread in the middle and prepared to use this.
Shen Yunxuan felt a little bored when he saw the two of them talking about the female celebrity, so he went out of the inner room of the East Chamber and came to the Ming Hall to drink tea alone.
Zhang Yuyao saw Shen Yunxuan leaving, so he asked, "By the way, Jinyun, how did you and Yunxuan meet, you are not very old, why did you get married so early, could it be that your parents ordered the matchmaker's words, you have to get married?" ”
Ning Jinyun was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and said, "It's not all my parents' orders, the two of us have known each other before." ”
She didn't want to talk about her affairs with others so carefully, and she didn't understand why her second cousin said that.
Zhang Yuyao said again, "You just got married, and you came over with Yunxuan, don't you want your mother's family?" ”
Ning Jinyun smiled: "I really want to take care of my aunt who grew up since I was a child, but this time it's all about coming out to play, and there's nothing to be homesick about." Second cousin, have you ever left home and lived in another place for a long time? ”
Zhang Yuyao shook his head, "No, I grew up in Changguo Mansion since I was a child, and I haven't gone out yet, in fact, I really want to go out to see, but I don't have any other relatives, and I have nowhere to go, and my mother doesn't want to take me out, so I can only stay at home." ”
Ning Jinyun guessed that this second cousin should be disciplined very strictly at home, after all, you grew up in Changguo Mansion, and you have to follow all kinds of rules, and the second aunt Zheng is such an eccentric and unreasonable mother, presumably Zhang Yuyao, your life may not be as beautiful as it seems.
Zhang Yuyao remembered something, and suddenly said, "Jinyun, last time my mother went to look for you, she said something ugly, I hope you don't mind." My mother is such a person, sometimes her mouth is a little poisonous, but her heart is not bad, I hope you don't get angry with her. ”
Ning Jinyun didn't think that her second aunt was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, she felt that her second aunt was a bitter person, which was why she was so unfriendly to her.
However, in front of Zhang Yuyao, Ning Jinyun couldn't say anything. She could only nod, "I know the second cousin, you don't have to take this matter to heart, let it pass." ”
Zhang Yuyao was very happy when she saw her say that she wanted to ignore her previous suspicions, she picked up the needle and thread and began to embroider the fan, what should she say after the fan was embroidered, she would give the fan to Ning Jinyun.
Ning Jinyun was a little surprised that she took the initiative to show her affection, she always felt weird, and she didn't understand why her second cousin was so kind to her.
She didn't want the fan Zhang Yuyao gave her, and she didn't want to get too close to Zhang Yuyao, she just wanted to maintain her politeness on the surface.
After sitting for a while, Ning Jinyun didn't want to stay here, she wanted to leave. But Zhang Yuyao had to pull her and continue to chat with her.
"The injury medicine that Yun Xuan gave me last time was quite useful, although Jiao'er's arm didn't heal immediately after using it, she said that it didn't hurt much anymore, and I would like to thank you two." Zhang Yuyao said while embroidering the fan.
Ning Jinyun heard what Shen Yunxuan said, he gave his second cousin a bottle of wound medicine and asked her to take it back and use it on her cousin's arm.
Thinking of Zhang Yujiao, Ning Jinyun couldn't help but be a little curious, why the attitude of the second aunt and mother was so different from that of their daughters, the eldest cousin could do anything, but the cousin had to be punished.
She asked, "Second cousin, today the eldest cousin wants to snatch her cousin's earrings, what's going on, does this happen often?" ”
Zhang Yuyao sighed helplessly, "My sister is stubborn, always working against the eldest sister, my mother has punished my sister many times for this matter, but she will make the eldest sister unhappy next time, and then she will be punished again, always like this, it has been a long time." ”
"But it's not my cousin's fault." Ning Jinyun asked tentatively, "Sometimes if the eldest cousin is wrong, will the second aunt still punish the eldest cousin?" ”
Zhang Yuyao smiled bitterly, "No, my mother prefers my eldest sister, unless it is a big mistake, she will rarely punish the eldest sister, we are all used to it." ”
Ning Jinyun was also a little helpless, what kind of thing is this, she is obviously her own daughter, but she has to have a bowl of water that is not even, favoring one over the other, which is even more excessive than Aunt Li. Even the ruthless Aunt Li knew that she was equally good to all her children, but the second aunt couldn't even do this.
Thinking of Aunt Li, she still doesn't know what happened to Aunt Li in the past two days, before she got married, Aunt Li was imprisoned for poisoning her grandmother, she thought that it was best for her grandmother not to release Aunt Li, so let Aunt Li continue to stay in the firewood room and repent of her mistakes over the years.
Zhang Yuyao asked, "Jinyun, what about you, how many sisters do you have in your family, but what brothers do you have?" ”
Ning Jinyun replied: "I am the daughter of the family, and my mother passed away early, so I don't have any sisters, but I do have a sister and a sister, both of whom were born to my father's concubine." I don't have an older brother, I only have a younger brother, but this younger brother was also born to a concubine, and we are not very close. ”
After finishing speaking, she smiled, "Actually, I envy your second cousin, you have two sisters, which is much better than me, and my sisters are not born to my mother, so there are always contradictions." ”
Zhang Yuyao said undeniably, "What about sisters, you also saw it today, sometimes the relationship between sisters is not very close, and we sisters don't get along very well." (To be continued.) )
