Chapter VIII
"This is the eldest daughter of our second master's family......" He Shi didn't seem to see Meng Ruoyao's fake expression, she introduced two sentences with a very light smile, but turned her head and beckoned to Acacia: "That's the second girl of their family, don't look at the young age, this appearance is also the first in our family." ”
Acacia stiffened, so much that she didn't expect her aunt to pick her up by the way, but she had the reputation of being a spicy and poisonous woman in her previous life, so she was cowardly, so she quickly adjusted, stood up and walked over.
The etiquette of her previous life was specially found to be straight, even when she entered the palace, she was not scared, and she also specially asked Mama Zhang for guidance these days, which can be regarded as adding an excuse to what she learned in her previous life, so she walked all the way, and she didn't hide anything at all, and her every move almost instantly compared the twisted eldest sister to the corner.
When He saw it, he was very surprised by Acacia, but he became more and more satisfied in his heart, and even his smile was a lot more sincere, after all, no one wanted to have another uneducated relative.
Meng Ruoyang was secretly happy that she had taken advantage, but when He Shi talked about her appearance as not as good as lovesickness, the joy in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she was not good at this time, so she buried this jealousy in her heart, just stood beside He Shi and lowered her head and did not speak.
"No, look at it, it's a lovely girl."
"How old is the second girl this year? I like girls, but unfortunately there are several debt collectors in the family! ”
The people who came to the banquet this time were not outsiders, and they were even closer to He's, and most of the people present were human spirits, even if they didn't ask, they could see that He didn't like the big girl, but wanted to lift up the second girl, but when they saw the comparison between the two sisters, their hearts were more mirror-like, and they naturally said good things.
"Our second sister is really well-behaved, what do you do at home on weekdays?" Seeing that Acacia was surrounded by so many noble ladies and didn't see Timidity, He couldn't help but ask a few more questions, which could be regarded as satisfying the curiosity in her heart.
Acacia eyes drooped slightly, neither arrogantly to look at the eyes of the elders, nor too low to look timid, she smiled slightly and said clearly: "I am the most unbearable at home, if it is not for Mama Zhang by my side, I am afraid that the eldest aunt will only see a wild monkey this time." ”
The playful words are so frank that they amuse the women.
He Shi glanced at Mama Zhang with his spare eyes, and only felt familiar, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized, isn't this the housekeeper lady who used to be quite face-saving next to Mrs. Yongchang Hou, and it is no wonder that the second girl is completely different from the person in the second room. In the three-character scripture, it is said that the sex is similar, and the habits are far away, even if an ancestor comes out, isn't there still crooked melons and cracked dates and glorious ancestors, and the master of his own family and the little uncle in the second room are the best proof.
Thinking about it like this, and then looking at the brother and daughter-in-law who was fanning in the corner with a sad face, He's heart softened, and he felt that the second girl was really a pity.
Meng Ruoyao was left aside, she couldn't leave if she wanted to, and she didn't dare to shake the past of Acacia in front of her elders, and she didn't say whether others believed it or not, even if she said bad things about her family to her face, her aunt would not be happy, so she had to endure it, mocking the hypocrisy of Acacia in her heart and suppressing the urge to expose Acacia.
"Auntie, what are you talking about?"
With a timid sentence, Meng Guizhi got into the crowd, she was not stupid, and she was still holding the youngest daughter of the big house, Meng Chen, as if the two had a good relationship and came to the He family together.
Acacia took a step back very wisely, basically ignoring the embarrassment on Meng Chen's face.
He Shi could see at a glance that it was greasy, as well as the reluctance on the face of the youngest daughter, she was unhappy in her heart, and she hated these concubines even more, so the smiles on her face immediately dissipated, and she only said firmly: "It's not too early, we should also go to the front." ”
It's just a sentence, the guests who were still around have stepped aside, the hours of Sanqi are all calculated, when to cry and when to leave home, it is a big deal to miss it.
Meng Guizhi was a little cautious, but in the end she was a little girl, she was treated so coldly, the whole person was wronged, and she was not as thick-skinned as Meng Ruozhi, even if she was rejected, she could still stand there and keep smiling. That burst of tears welled up in his eyes, Meng Guizhi couldn't help it, let go of Meng Chenxi and went straight to his aunt.
The guests didn't care, everyone here was in the main room of the family, and they all knew a lot about the second room of the Meng family, especially the third girl of Yongchang Hou who was full of ideas and didn't know what to pretend, that was a well-known little white flower in the boudoir, what was a shameful fight for true love, what almost eloped with someone, if it wasn't for the girl of the powerful family, she would have been killed, maybe the family would have to follow the bad luck.
Acacia politely said goodbye to everyone, but she did not stick to He like the eldest sister, but returned to her mother, said a few words softly, and then held her arm and slowly approached her grandmother.
The guests only felt that the bamboo shoots were good, and they not only had more tolerance but also a little more sympathy for Acacia.
Acacia hooked her lips, if these people knew what they said to their mother, I am afraid that none of them would think that she was a good girl.
Guan was supported by Acacia, and her internal organs were about to be burned with anger, she knew that her mother-in-law didn't like her, but on such an occasion, if her mother-in-law really followed Acacia and introduced Aunt Mei to people everywhere as the most favored woman in the family, then what was her status? What is her true affection for her husband? She will never let people destroy the relationship between herself and her husband, and she will never believe that the Xiang Guild has changed her mind. She still believes what Xianggong said to her, the reason why he married Aunt Mei is entirely because this woman seduced him and flattered her mother-in-law, Xianggong let this woman enter the door is just an expedient measure, and she has no feelings for Aunt Mei at all, Aunt Mei is just a fertility tool in this family!
Acacia has no heart to lie at all, and with her mother's brain burned by love, I am afraid she can't think of a loophole in this lie. For this woman, what else to say in this case, even if it is about her and her eldest sister, is not as useful as her father's pampering, and if she wants to manipulate her mother, it is most effective to use the name of true love. Otherwise, how did my father make my mother betray her relatives in so many years?
changed a handkerchief from his sleeve, and as soon as Acacia walked into the mourning hall, the tears flowed down as if he didn't want money.
She knelt on the ground, tears seeping down the corners of her mouth and into her lips, and the taste was a little salty. This feeling of abundant tear glands is already a little unfamiliar to her, probably because she was too strong in her previous life, even when her grandmother died, her parents-in-law passed away, and even her husband passed away, she didn't shed a single tear, otherwise how could people outside say that she was cold-blooded? Why is it that when someone says that she is having an affair with her brother-in-law, no one in the clan suspects it?
The heart suddenly stopped for a moment, and the last thing she wanted to think about after her rebirth was the man who pulled her when she was at her craziest and taught her many things to enjoy in this world...... I don't know what happened to that man after she died?
Wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief, a strange smell washed her tears more, she looked at her hand stupidly and thought sluggishly, since she was only nine years old, then the man is probably only in his early tens, and I don't know if he is a bad boy who climbs trees with snot and mischief!
Just thinking about the man's rebellion and stupidity, Acacia almost couldn't cry, but at the same time, there was a faint regret, if she was reborn before the age of five, she would definitely give it a fight, and did her best to keep the man's father and mother from dying so early, so ...... Maybe that man can also be like his eldest brother, be a squinting and idle gentleman, instead of living a lonely and painful life early, and press a qiē in the bottom of his heart.
Kneeling and crying, Rao is lovesick heart is firm and can't support it in the end, she is not the woman in her early twenties in her previous life, she is only nine years old now, and she is still a female doll who has just drawn strips.
The old lady is an elder, and after a few symbolic tears, she was personally supported by the uncle to rest. Acacia's father has to pick the main beam today, so even if he wants to sneak away, he has to stay in the mourning hall to wear linen and filial piety, and he is such a person who can drill the camp, in this kind of situation where he is a powerful person, even if he is tired, his heart is always excited.
When Guan knelt on the mourning hall and was shaky, he still retained a trace of sobriety, his eyes cried like rotten peaches, and he didn't know whether he was really sad for the old uncle, or if he remembered something sad.
Acacia secretly moved his neck, and the afterglow saw the impatient expression of his eldest brother Meng Gaopeng, and Meng Guizhi hid in the corner even more because of his concubine, and he didn't even kneel and spread it on the ground, almost drowsy.
Looking at my own sister, I don't know when she ran to the side of Meng Xintong, the eldest daughter of the eldest house, she whispered with a flattering smile, but Meng Xintong has always been faint, talking without a match, and taking care of the little sister Meng Chenxi next to her from time to time.
Acacia pouted, she had become a loner.
Crying for a while, Acacia felt that the veil was almost tasteless, the side door behind the mourning hall came out at this time two people, Acacia looked at the face but was by no means an outsider, these two teenagers were wearing the same filial piety clothes, with a white filial piety belt on their heads, but the taller person who came in first was also thin, and then followed by the one who was short and fat, and looked rich.
The tall young man's expression was very gentle, he first walked to Meng Xintong and Meng Ruoyu and said something, and touched Meng Chenxi's little head, and then quickly walked to Acacia and Guan's here, knelt down in the robe and said to Guan's: "Auntie, is she not in good health, do you want to go in and rest for a while, my mother specially asked me to come over and take a look." The second sister is young and not easy to kneel, so it's better to leave it to us men here. ”
Acacia only felt funny, this child didn't even have a hair, so he called himself a man, but she also remembered the identity of these two teenagers, he was the eldest grandson of Ding Anbo, and the one who dragged him was the second grandson of Ding Anbo, both of them are still very advanced in the future, and they are often the children of other people's families that the elders talk about.
"Is Sister Si'er tired?"
Facing the concerned eyes of the eldest brother of the big house, the lovesick person shook it, this is really not due to tiredness, but this sentence is probably the first person she asked from the previous life to this life.
Is she tired or not?
She is really tired, so tired that she has no hatred or love for everyone in this family, and she just thinks about the future days to be more comfortable, to have a good reputation in the future to marry a reliable man, and then to have her beloved child. She had lived too intensely in her previous life, like a fire that had burned out and then became empty and empty, as if she couldn't lift up anything, the only thing left was the desire that rose from the depths of her soul, she longed for a safe life and a smooth life, she wanted to be lazy and enjoy her hard-won rebirth with little effort.
The heart is vast and empty, but the tears of lovesickness are very faithful and fall in the heart.
Meng Huoran had never seen a little girl cry so beautifully, and she cried so heartbreakingly, he didn't think about it, he stood up and hugged the lovesickness that didn't react for a while.
"Duanfang, you help your aunt to go to the back to rest. Sister Si'er was afraid that she was tired of crying, and she was stunned, so I took her inside to rest for a while, and then I looked at Mama. After speaking, without waiting for Meng Duanfang to reply, he directly hugged Acacia and ran to the side door when he came.
Acacia is so tired that he closes his eyes, but his eyes seem to be connected with his heart for a while, and those in his previous life can't shed tears, and at this time they all rush to flow out.
There was no crying, but his shoulders were already wet with tears, Meng Huoran patted Acacia's back with a heart, and always felt that his little sister had never made him feel so distressed.
Meng Xintong saw her eldest brother leaving with her lovesickness, she turned her head and whispered to Meng Chen: "If you can't stand it, you will go out with Mama later, and go back to rest." ”
Meng Chenxi blinked his eyes widely, looking at Meng Huoran's back a little pantothenic, but looking at Acacia's delicate appearance, he always felt uneasy, so he quietly asked, "Can I go to see Cousin Si in a while?" ”
Meng Xintong said indifferently: "You asked your mother first." ”
Listening to the conversation of the sisters in her ears, Meng Ruoyu gritted her teeth and moved her sour thighs, she saw that Guan was helped out by Meng Duanfang again, she couldn't help it, she squeezed out a smile at Meng Xintong and said: "My mother is afraid that her body will not be able to hold on, I'll take a look, I'm sorry Sister Xintong." ”
Meng Xintong gave her the first straight look today, but then she still said indifferently: "You are already guests, just come and go." ”
Meng Ruoyu only felt that today's work was in vain, and she was secretly ruthless in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend Meng Xintong, so she had to reluctantly nod, and she forced herself to get up and chase after Guan Shi.
Meng Gaopeng saw that the eldest sister was gone, and the irritable nerve in his head was broken all of a sudden, he secretly retreated, and ran out along the wall when he saw that his father was not paying attention. He ran away, how could Meng Guizhi still stay? There was almost no pause, and the girl got up and ran along.
At this time, only the eldest and second masters of the Meng family were left in the mourning hall, as well as some relatives of the Meng family, as well as Meng Xintong and Meng Chenxi, who knelt straight on the mourning hall.
