readx;
The carriage entered from the corner gate of the Foshou Lake Courtyard and stopped directly in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, Chen Xu held Linghui in his arms and greeted them, and there was a Ruan Dehong standing next to him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiusun herself also got out of the car, and helped the old lady to get out of the car, and Xiuguan and Xiuzhi also got out of the carriage in the back carriage, and everyone greeted each other and walked to the courtyard together.
The old lady asked Shen's mother about Xiupeng's situation on the way, and Shen's mother said with a smile, "The thirteenth young master woke up, and the nurse was playing in the house, and it was too cold outside, so I didn't let her take it out." ”
Everyone entered the old lady's banquet room, the old lady ordered someone to serve tea, Chen Xu held Linghui with one hand and dusted off the snow foam on the cloak, Xiuzhi saw it and stepped forward to take Linghui in her arms, Linghui subconsciously dodged, and her hands tightly grasped Chen Xu's placket and did not let go, "Daddy." She is also coquettish with a milky voice, and she looks like a nymphomaniac who looks like her father in her heart, comparable to her own mother.
Xiusun looked helpless next to her, this child, who has been super clingy to her father recently, refuses to leave her father's arms for a moment, and when she sees someone approaching, she just holds her father's clothes and doesn't let go.
Xiusun has also been rejected so ruthlessly many times, but she knows that this little girl has no conscience and will not dig a big hole for herself in front of so many people.
Xiuzhi is the first time to meet her, in her impression, Linghui still likes her, every time she sees new clothes, new shoes, she will smile sweetly at her and let her hug, she originally wanted to show her intimacy with Linghui in front of everyone, so that the grandmother will be willing to call the shots for her.
Unexpectedly, Linghui seemed to hate her very much today, Xiuzhi's heart chuckled, thinking that Linghui knew her careful thoughts and didn't want to see her? I have heard that children's eyes are the most poisonous, and others can tell at a glance whether they are sincere or false to her.
Thinking of this, the outstretched hands stiffened in mid-air, with embarrassment on the face and a void in the bottom of the heart.
The old lady also saw it, but pretended not to see it, although Xiuzhi was not her favorite granddaughter, she didn't want her to make a fool of herself, so she only gave Xiaoyan a look.
Xiaoyan hurriedly approached Chen Xu, helped him take off his cloak, and handed it to the little maid next to him.
This kind of thing, Xiuzhi is not good to do as a boudoir lady, so she had to turn around and sit back in her circle chair.
Xiuguan took a sip of tea elegantly beside him, lowered his eyes to hide the smile that accidentally overflowed, Xiuzhi, who only fills wood on weekdays, also has such a day, which is really interesting.
Ruan Dehong also sat on the side, as if he didn't care about all this, but he didn't completely isolate himself, and when the old lady chatted with Chen Xu, he interjected from time to time, which was appropriate and decent, and cordial and warm.
In just half a day, Chen Xu seemed to look at him differently, no matter how much he hated him, Chen Xu was still Chen Xu, no matter how brain-dead he was in front of Ke Min, he still didn't suffer a loss in the court.
Such a person can treat Ruan Dehong like this, which shows that this cousin is indeed extraordinary.
Xiusun sat on the side and drank tea, not mixing with each other, but secretly wondered why Ruan Dehong hadn't returned to Jiangpu's old mansion yet, but, then again, Ruan Dehong was her cousin, and it was more reasonable that she should stay in the Foshou Lake Courtyard during the Chinese New Year.
It's just that this person, who seems to be silent, can make so many powerful people look at him differently in a short period of time, which is a terrifying strength in itself.
Xiusun grew up in the palace in her previous life, and she knows that this kind of person can't see the depth, so it's best to avoid it.
When night fell, the old lady set her dinner on the stone boat, the two-string branch windows of the stone boat were closed, and the red lanterns were hung under the eaves, and you could see the fine snow like salt grains reflected pink by the lights, and it fell quietly into the dark pool and could not be found.
The charcoal fire was burning in the stone boat, and the felt curtains on both sides were slightly open and slit, so as not to smoke the charcoal.
There were two tables of sumptuous wine and food, Chen Xu and Ruan Dehong at one table, the old lady with a few granddaughters at one table, Linghui still didn't let go of her father, she still nestled in her father's arms, and she didn't even look at the nurse.
She can talk a lot now, sitting on her father's lap and ordering food with great power, her father's chopsticks are about to pout when they beat slowly.
Chen Xu felt very helpless, but he couldn't bear to snub his daughter at all, so he simply rolled the cuffs twice to keep up with the speed of his daughter's fingers and eyes.
The old lady laughed when she watched from the side, but Xiusun was faintly worried, how good would it be if this child developed a high-flying and domineering character, if Ke Min was here, would he be so obedient to his daughter.
After a little distraction, he heard Linghui's wail, and Xiusun was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his head to look.
The little girl sat in her father's arms, with a flat mouth, her white and fat little face wrinkled into an eighteen-fold dog ignoring the bun, her eyes were red, and the moisture seemed to be moist & wet her long eyelashes.
And what about her father?
The slender white fingers held a small wine cup, looked at the baby daughter in his arms with an innocent face, and said with a smile, "You can't blame me, it's you who want to taste it, and if you don't give it to you, you'll cry." ”
The old lady had already patted Xiusun's shoulder beside her and smiled backwards, and Xiusun felt that her thick shoulders were being patted and trembled.
It's worthy of Chen Xu, a guy with a black belly, don't look at it as his own daughter, he is not soft at all.
But looking at such a picture, Xiusun's anger in her heart seemed to dissipate in an instant, she remembered Chen Xu's crying, and saw Chen Xu's intimacy with Linghui now, and sighed deeply in her heart.
Regardless of whether this person is worthy of Ke Min or not, it is Ke Min's business, her friend in her previous life is not qualified to fight for her, and she found that Chen Xu is still very attentive to Linghui, after all, she is her own daughter.
The Xiusun sisters also drank a small glass of fruit wine with the permission of the old lady, and Linghui fell asleep with her father's clothes at some point.
Chen Xu was afraid that Linghui would catch a cold, so he said goodbye to the old lady, took the snow-white fox fur held by the maid and wrapped Linghui tightly around herself, and then put on the cloak herself, and the maid's daughter-in-law held an oil-paper umbrella and held an air death lantern, and cautiously went to the guest house where she was temporarily staying.
The round Linghui was kicked in his arms by his father, and he couldn't see it really, but the figure in the distance that was one big and one small looked very warm, Xiusun stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched from afar, his expression couldn't tell whether he was melancholy or relieved.
Ruan Dehong stood beside her, and he couldn't read Xiusun's expression.
There was a light snow in the sky, there was no moonlight, the lanterns under the eaves reflected a thin layer of snow in the courtyard, a thin layer of ice floe on the surface of the pond, the white faint light was weak and shallow, her white face looked a little dull during the day, and her eyes were still shining.
"Cousin, don't seem to be very happy?" Ruan Dehong couldn't hold back and asked softly. (To be continued.) )
