Chapter 117: Girl
She shook the mouth of the bottle twice and said, "Why is there no water at all?" ”
Lu Jianpeng hurriedly said: "Is there no water?" I still have half a pot of hot water when I go downstairs. ”
His mother, Mrs. Lu, snorted behind him and said, "I can't wash my face with half a pot of water, and I expect others to boil water for me?" It's a dream. ”
"Hey, what is there to dream about not dreaming, the two days I am here, which day didn't I go to fetch water?" Because Lu Jianskirt has to walk around her mother more now to be lucky enough to see Zhongqing, she is completely indifferent to her mother's indifferent attitude, and she looks around while talking, "Where is the kettle?" I saw it here before, so I'll go downstairs and get some water. ”
Lu Jianpeng didn't expect the hot water in the room to run out so quickly, and remembered that the kettle was still with Miss Chen next door. But how do you say that? His mother and sister were both very suspicious people, and he lent the kettle to others for no reason, and he was sure to make them wonder, so he hesitated slightly, and was embarrassed to open his mouth when his sister was in a hurry.
At this moment, Xiu'er brought the kettle over and knocked on the door. Si Nan, the husband who was standing at the head of the door, thought it was a nurse who came in to make rounds, so he opened the door and looked at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing outside, with a half-length apricot-colored flowering robe on her upper body, and a seed-colored silk pants at the bottom, which were as tender as spring flowers in February, and said to him shyly: "Dare to ask if Mr. Lu is there?" ”
Sinan was still a little stunned, because she asked if Mr. Lu was there, thinking that only Jianpeng in the room could be called Mr. Lu. He was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly shouted into the house: "Jianpeng, there is a young lady looking for you." ”
Xiu'er has been sticking to her identity as a girl until then. I have never been called Miss by others, and now I look at the very decent person in front of me and call myself Miss. At the moment, he waved his hands in embarrassment, but he didn't know how to explain, so he had to stand in front of the door with a kettle.
In the room, Mrs. Lu and Jianskirt were extremely surprised when they heard that a young lady was looking for Jianpeng. As Jianpeng's relatives, they couldn't be more familiar with Jianpeng's familiarity, he is a child who is a little shy when talking to strangers, let alone talking to women. Because of this, he was sent to a private school so that he could get along with his friends. It's better to change the problem of being ashamed. In the past two years, I have seen some results, but I haven't heard him mention which lady he has befriended, and now people have come to the door in person.
The mother and daughter looked at Xiu'er together, seeing that she was not dressed very gorgeously, and she didn't look like a young lady but like a young lady's girl, and immediately Jianhuan asked, "Do you have anything to do with Jianpeng?" ”
She had heard from her mother that someone wanted to propose to Jianpeng, talking about the daughter of the owner of the grain and oil store. If the girl who came to the door was not as good as that one, it would be better to send it away as soon as possible. lest you be like the sister-in-law who came out of nowhere, and the family is bored by the four walls.
Lu Jianpeng also saw Xiu'er for the first time, and he didn't know her in his impression, so he wanted to ask by himself. Seeing that his sister had already done it for him, he bowed slightly to Xiu'er and said, "Are you looking for me?" ”
How did Xiu'er know if he was the Mr. Lu that Chen Fangfei said, and remembered that he was just here to return the kettle. He hurriedly raised his hand upward, exposed the kettle and said, "Just now, our cousin borrowed a pot of water from here." Thank you very much, I'm afraid you are in a hurry to ask for a kettle. So let me return it to Mr. Lu. ”
Miss Table? Mrs. Lu and her daughter and son-in-law looked at each other, and then they realized that the person in front of them was really just a girl, but they just ran an errand for their young lady. This is also reasonable, how can the daughter of a big family easily show up? It's just that since she has a girl, how can she borrow water by herself?
Their curiosity is urgently waiting for Lu Jianpeng's answer. When Lu Jianpeng saw the kettle and heard that it was Miss Biao's dispatch, he immediately thought of the beautiful woman Chen Fangfei who was crazy about him, so he took two steps and stepped forward and said politely: "Miss Lao will come in person." ”
Xiu'er smiled and handed him the kettle, looked at him a few times before saying, "I returned the things, and the young lady still has something to tell me, so I won't stay longer, thank you, you stay." ”
"Girl, walk slowly." Lu Jianpeng carried the kettle and sent Xiu'er a few steps away, and he was about to stop at the door of their ward. watched Xiu'er enter the door with great fascination, thinking to herself, but it was a pity that it was not the Miss Chen who returned the things, otherwise she should have spoken to her more.
He stood stupidly for a moment, saw that the private at the door was all looking at him, and then hurriedly turned around and returned to his mother. Mrs. Lu and Jianhua were becoming more and more suspicious because of Lu Jianpeng's departure, and when they saw him come in, they grabbed him and interrogated him as if they were interrogating prisoners: "Who is that girl just now?" When did you know a young lady, you kid really can hide it. ”
Jianskirt also said: "What does the young lady's family do, looking at the girl's style, it is not like ordinary people." If it suits, you can also be friends, please come to the house and have fun. Although we are not a rich and noble family, we will never be underestimated, so don't hide it from your family because of this. ”
Sinan listened to her mother and daughter's discussion on the side, and ignored herself completely, so she wanted to interject a sentence in order to show her different views, so she said: "What Mom and Jianskirt said is, I see that this young lady must be extraordinary, and now that the economy is in recession, there are not many people who can afford to be a girl." Moreover, the clothes that her girl was wearing were the new cloud brocade of Weida Silk Village, more than a foot of money, who was willing to be so extravagant on the girl? ”
"Yo, that's a lot of money." Jianskirt followed her husband and said, "Do you remember Mrs. Zhang, who was a guest at our house that day? The clothes she wore were not necessarily as well dressed as the girl just now, and even the artificial fabrics would cost thirty or forty yuan. A girl dressed like this, tsk, this person is really amazing. Third brother, what is this young lady's surname? ”
She smiled like a spring flower, and forgot what she had just said about finding the daughter of the grain and oil store. Lu Jianpeng was accustomed to seeing his mother and sister's inflammatory, and said helplessly: "Her surname is Chen." ”
"Surname Chen?" Lu Jianskirt twisted her waist and asked her husband, "Is there a big family surnamed Chen here in Shanghai?" ”
Sinan touched his chin, his qualifications were not enough to enter the upper class, and occasionally he only heard the names of a few leaders in Shanghai's political arena and a few bigwigs of the Youth Gang, and he didn't know much about other celebrities. Just to have face in front of his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, he perfunctorily built a skirt and said: "There must be something, otherwise how would her surname be Chen." ”
"yes." Jianhua always echoed her husband's words, so she asked her brother Jianpeng, "How did you meet?" How long have you known each other? How old is that young lady? You are not young now, and if that young lady is not young either, it is better for the two of you to discuss and decide. You don't know, now the girl's mind has become faster, and she follows others without seeing it. You're a clumsy tongue again, and if you ask someone to snatch it later, it's too late to cry. ”
She had so many questions, Jianpeng didn't know which one to answer first, so he waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Second sister, you are all told to finish alone, what can I say?" That young lady and I are just meeting each other, and we are not yet where you say we are. Again...... With someone like that, where can we climb high? ”
"What origin?" Jian Skirt hurriedly asked.
Lu Jianpeng was stunned for a long time, and then said as if depressed: "She is Miss Cousin of the Li family in Beiling, and she is next door to us." Just now I went downstairs to fetch water for my mother, and I happened to run into her to fetch water, because the water pipe in the cafeteria was broken, and I was afraid that she would use it in a hurry, so I lent her my own kettle. ”
Miss Northridge Lee's cousin?
"You mean, you mean...... Is that the Northridge Lee family of the first family? Lu Jianskirt was almost incoherent with excitement, she really had nowhere to find her iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it. She was just thinking about how to inquire about whether Zhong Qing was willing to see her, and then she met Miss Biao of the Li family in Beiling. Regardless of whether this cousin is close or sparse, she will always have a relationship with the Li family in Beiling, and it will not be easy to go anywhere. If she can be asked to say a few kind words in front of the town guard's wife, wouldn't her husband's future be more uncertain?
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and hurriedly pulled Lu Jianpeng aside and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't give up on yourself." Since the cousin is willing to tell you her name when you meet in Pingshui, she must still be a little interesting to you, you fight for some energy, get along with her well, and save you a lot of effort in your career in the future? ”
"Second sister." Lu Jianpeng's explanation was about to be worn out, but he still couldn't make Jianskirt turn around. When she meets a powerful person, she can't move her steps, that Miss Chen, she is only a one-sided relationship with her, and she doesn't know how old she is. It was rare for him to lose his temper, and at this moment, looking at her sister's appearance, he intuitively felt that Wen Yan couldn't solve it, so he stiffened his face and said: "It's impossible for me to be with that young lady, and the second sister shouldn't joke about such words, it's not to insult the reputation of the young lady." ”
Lu Jianskirt didn't beware of touching a nail, so that Jianpeng couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she had to turn her face sideways and smile at her mother: "Look, his temper has really grown in the past two years, and I, as a sister, can't say a word about him." ”
"You're not right, of course he doesn't listen." Mrs. Lu sneered, among the three children, she is now favoring her youngest child, and she is also very unaccustomed to her daughter's words, so she said, "Your third brother's marriage is not your turn to be in charge, he has his idea, don't interfere with him." Aren't you going to fetch water? Ah, the kettle is there, you can take it. (To be continued.) )
