Mrs. Deng was upset for a while, and felt that the hand of the maid's massage was too strong, and she stretched out her hand to slap it: "How did you press it?" With such a heavy hand, do you want my old woman's leg to be crippled? ”

The maid was so frightened that she trembled, took two steps back and kowtowed vigorously on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Yuan Xiang'er came in just to see this scene, the corners of her mouth curled, put the sugar water in her hand on the small table on the side, and took the beauty hammer in the maid's hand and knocked Mrs. Deng's leg carefully, "Old lady, the maids can't do well, you just talk about it, no matter how bad it is, you will be punished directly, why bother with them?" They're worthless, so you can't be angry with yourself. ”

Old Mrs. Deng waved her hand, asked the maids to retreat, sighed and said: "Or Xiang'er knows that she feels sorry for me, an old woman, and she has been busy for most of the day, so she finally rested, and Anqian and Fenning don't know to come and see me." ”

"The fourth cousin and cousin are greeting guests today, there are many things, it is very hard, where it is like me, I know that I can hide behind you and have a leisure."

Mrs. Deng patted Yuan Xiang'er's hand and said, "I won't talk about the shore move, Fen Ning's first banquet, if you hadn't taught you before, where would there be today's smoothness?" ”

"Old lady, you are too polite, I just want to mention a few words, the main thing is that Cousin Fenning is delicate and thoughtful, so that she can greet the guests well, if you replace those dull ones, I can't guarantee that there will be no leaks even if I look at them from the side."

"I don't know Fenning's temperament yet? can't speak, it's the first time for Zhang Luo, if it weren't for the banquet in such a small place, and with your help, I really wouldn't dare to let her come forward. ”

Deng Fenning is timid and shy, and he is the least like Mrs. Deng among the grandsons of the Deng family, and he will not go to the old man in Su Ri, so he does not like Mrs. Deng the most. This time when she came to Yuncheng, if Deng Anqian hadn't insisted on bringing Deng Fenning, where would Mrs. Deng think of Deng Fenning?

"Old lady, I really envy you for thinking so much about Cousin Fenning. If my grandmother were still alive, she would have cherished me like this. ”

Yuan Xiang'er's grandmother is Mrs. Deng's handkerchief, known as a godsister, and the reason why Yuan Xiang'er is called Miss Cousin in the Deng family is also because of the relationship between the two old ladies.

At the mention of Old Madam Yuan, Old Madam Deng couldn't help but sigh. The Yuan family started earlier than the Deng family, but unfortunately Mrs. Yuan was a blessed woman, and she died after a few years of blessings. Yuan Xiang'er is the daughter of Mrs. Yuan's eldest son, her parents are cowardly and not favored in the Yuan Mansion, if it weren't for Yuan Xiang'er who can stand up, I'm afraid that the Yuan family would have kicked their family out of the mansion long ago.

Mrs. Deng took pity on her miserable background, and received a stay with the Deng family every now and then, and she loved her more than her clumsy and introverted granddaughter Deng Fenning.

"Good boy, it's really hard for you. You are so sensible, if your grandmother were still alive, she would love you even more. ”

"The old lady loves me so much, although my grandmother is not there, she must be very pleased to know that she is underground. Besides, there is also Uncle Deng and Aunt Deng, several cousins and cousins who care for me, I am happier in the Deng family than in my own family, if I am still not satisfied, my grandmother should not be dependent. Yuan Xiang'er said flattering words, her face was full of admiration for Mrs. Deng, Mrs. Deng was extremely useful, hugged Yuan Xiang'er into her arms, and called: "My son, it should be our ancestors and grandchildren who have a fate, otherwise why did God send you to me?" It's really more filial than my own granddaughter. ”

As Mrs. Deng spoke, she remembered Deng Fenning's various dissatisfactions, such as the wives of the official families in Yuncheng who handed over posts to visit before, and Mrs. Deng wanted to put on a show, Deng Fenning didn't care at all, and almost led people in, fortunately, Yuan Xiang'er was clever and found an excuse to prevaricate the past, otherwise, wouldn't it be a cat or a dog to come forward?

With Yuan Xiang'er as a lovely person to compare, Mrs. Deng was even more displeased with Deng Fenning, and blurted out a sigh: "If only Fenning could be half as intimate and sensible as you." ”

When Mrs. Deng said this, Deng Anqian and Deng Fenning were about to step into the hall, and Mrs. Deng's words were all heard in their ears.

Deng Fenning's footsteps suddenly hesitated: "Fourth brother, if I don't want to go in." ”

"Why not? If you don't go, I'm afraid that someone will really think that she is a serious lady of the Deng family. Deng Anqian dragged her and didn't let her go.

"It's useless to go, it's not a matter of a day or two that my grandmother doesn't like me." Deng Fenning has been hit by Mrs. Deng since she was a child, and she is a little numb.

"You always shrink back and hide, outsiders have a face better than you, what is this called? Let's go talk about it. "Deng Anqian is different from Deng Fenning, because of his talent, he is the most prominent among the four brothers, since his father loved his mother, Mrs. Deng also loved him, and nothing wronged or anything like that happened to him, so naturally he couldn't see his sister swallowing his anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Anqian took Deng Fenning's hand and entered the hall.

"Fourth cousin, cousin Fenning, you're all here." Yuan Xiang'er had sharp eyes, and hurriedly greeted the brother and sister when she saw them coming.

"Hello grandmother." Deng Fenning behaved in a proper manner, and saluted and said goodbye.

"Hmm." Old Madam Deng raised her eyes, snorted in her throat, even if she took care of her, she pulled her beloved little grandson and asked carefully, "Why don't you rest after a busy day?" There are no important people among the people I see today, you deal with it, and everyone greets them one by one. It's really hard for you. ”

"I just said hello one by one, where is it like Fenning, I personally arranged the garden yesterday, and I have been staring at the flowers today, she is working harder than me." Deng Anqian wants to lift his own sister up, so naturally he has to use himself as the bottom.

Old Madam Deng couldn't give Deng Fenning no face at all, and Deng Fenning performed well today, so she nodded in her direction: "Fenning really bothered today." ”

After receiving such an affirmation from Mrs. Deng, Deng Fenning couldn't help but be excited, and stammered a little when she answered: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, grandmother." ”

"Yes, Cousin Fenning's banquet is really no worse than those usual wives and young ladies who are used to organizing. I can't be so attentive. "Yuan Xiang'er is used to coming to things, and Mrs. Deng has expressed her position, how can she not say something good?" And the dim sum made by Cousin Fenning was really good, and I heard that many guests praised it, and I heard that the little daughter of the Song family ate it and caught several of them before leaving. ”

"Sure enough, he was born in a businessman's family, and he really has no education at all." Hearing Song Dongniang's ugly deeds, Mrs. Deng was disdainful, and she couldn't help but show disgust on her face.

Deng Fenning had just made friends with Song Xianiang, and she disagreed with Mrs. Deng's statement, and whispered: "The sisters of the Song family are very good, and their family has cooperation with Helian Gongzi, and their conduct will not be bad." ”

Mrs. Deng was not happy when she heard this, the Song family was a thorn in her eyes, where could the people around her say that they were good? With a cold face, he said: "Whether it is the Song family or Helian Chong, they are just businessmen, let's keep a distance from them, so as not to get tacky." Especially you, who are young and careless, don't let people deceive you easily. ”

Deng Fenning disagreed, but he didn't dare to say more, so he pulled Deng Anqian's sleeve for help.

Deng Anqian and Helian Chong have the meaning of Jinlan, even if Deng Fenning doesn't ask for help, he will defend his brother: "Grandmother's words are wrong. Brother Helian took good care of us before, and it is reasonable that we should not dislike his background. Besides, no matter where the hero comes from, Brother Helian is upright and decent, which is incomparable to many high-ranking officials and nobles, and it is worth handing over. ”

"Helian Chong has helped our family, and he should be courteous. It's just that everything has a degree, no matter how we say that our identity and status are here, we should pay attention or pay attention, don't make people laugh. And you're about to take the martial arts championship, don't let these trivial things affect your future. "Mrs. Deng has always had high hopes for her little grandson's career, but whenever she has the opportunity, she has to mention her life, "And the Song family, a small businessman in Yuncheng, is not worth your relationship." ”

Deng Anqian frowned, although Mrs. Deng has always cared about her background, she has not been so repulsive to Shangjia, but since she came to Yuncheng, she looks down on Shangjia in her words and deeds. can say that she doesn't look down on businessmen at all, the Song family was still invited by her, and such a contradictory behavior reveals weirdness.

"Grandmother, since you don't like the Song family, why do you want to invite them?" Deng Anqian couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, old lady, what is the relationship between our Deng family and Mrs. Ji?" Yuan Xiang'er was also curious about the relationship, and asked by the way.

Old Madam Deng didn't plan to let Deng Anqian know about the marriage contract, so she said vaguely: "Ji Cheng is an old friend of your grandfather before his death, but I haven't been in touch for many years, so I didn't expect to meet in Yuncheng." It's also a coincidence. ”

"I see. No wonder the old lady, you and Master Ji are so familiar, and it is rare to meet old acquaintances in other places, but after so many years, everyone's identity and status have changed, and the friendship has increased, but I am afraid that the other party has some bad ideas. And I don't want to have a deep friendship with Mrs. Ji. ”

Yuan Xiang'er's words were too much to Mrs. Deng's heart, and Mrs. Deng's eyes looked at her with a little more satisfaction: "Yes, I didn't expect Brother Ji to marry such an ignorant village woman, and also marry his daughter to a businessman, it's simply unreasonable." ”

"Isn't it, then Mrs. Song has worked hard to have a relationship with the ladies, but unfortunately it is not a circle that cannot be said at all. Mrs. Zhou also told me in private that it was too late to hide from her. Yuan Xiang'er covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was telling a joke.
