CHAPTER XVIII
On this day, Song Nanqing went to ask Mrs. Kang for peace as usual, the autumn was deep and the dew was heavy, the sun had just risen, and the dew on the bamboo leaves slipped down with a slight touch, this path was quiet and shallow, but Song Nanqing walked very slowly, and when he arrived at the door of the Jingxin Residence, he happened to see Kang Shanyao leading a girl from there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Nanqing stopped her pace, looked at her and smiled slightly, "Third sister, I came so early today, my grandmother praised your craftsmanship yesterday for being better than the girl below, go, my grandmother must be really grooming at this hour, I must be happy to see you." ”
Kang Shanyao paused, and the smile on her face became a little unnatural, but it was only a matter of a moment, and soon she stepped forward, holding Song Nanqing's hand affectionately, and said, "Sister, don't praise me, it is my duty for my granddaughter to serve her grandmother." ”
Mama An in the old lady's room came out of it at this time, and when she happened to hear this, she looked at Kang Shanyao's face with a burst of admiration.
"The third girl and the cousin are here, the old lady is praising you, but coincidentally, the third girl combed the old lady's hair yesterday, she was very satisfied, and now she doesn't let the little girls get it, I don't think they have the three girls' dexterity, just wait for the third girl to come." As she spoke, she lifted the curtain with her own hands and let Nanqing and the others in.
The afterglow in the corner of Kang Shanyao's eyes skimmed towards Song Nanqing slightly, showing a slight hint of pride, and only said, "I just tossed it out when I had nothing to do, but I can't talk about any dexterity, the weather is cold, I got two bottles of plasters there I heard that it is the most effective in treating old and cold legs, and I will let the girl send it to grandma tomorrow." ”
"Yo, that slave and maid really have to thank the third girl, how can the slave maid use such a good plaster ...... this body," Mama An smiled the folds on her face into a pattern, and looked at Kang Shanyao's eyes very differently, "No wonder the old lady said that the third girl is intimate.... ”
The two of them said, lining Song Nanqing into a background, Song Nanqing only felt funny, and rolled her eyes silently, did Kang Shanyao really think that she would go to great lengths to please everyone in this mansion like her.
When I arrived in the back room, I saw the old lady sitting on the floor, holding a jewelry box in front of her, and was letting the old lady choose, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she smiled and said, "Look at these two little monkeys who have come to trouble me so early." ”
"Grandmother, this is annoying me and my third sister, and Ah Luo doesn't follow it."
Kang Shanyao was about to step forward to salute, when she felt a gust of wind beside her, and a figure fell into the old lady's arms and sprinkled coquettishly.
Song Nanqing's voice was soft, her eyes were full of attachment, and Mrs. Kang's hand couldn't help asking, "Does the old lady dislike Ah Luo?" ”
Mrs. Kang also seemed to enjoy her granddaughter's admiration for her, and said with a smile, "Look at this girl, she usually looks like she has rules, but when she comes to me, she becomes a delicate child." ”
The mother-in-law who was waiting around saw that the old lady was happy, and she also stepped forward to joke.
For a while, the main room was happy, Kang Shanyao pulled the handkerchief in her hand, and glared at the proud Song Nanqing resentfully, just an orphaned cousin, the old lady just took her for fun, she thought so, her face finally became natural, she took the silver comb with a smile, and walked to Mrs. Kang.
Because the two girls came early, Mrs. Kang let them have breakfast here.
When the ladies in these rooms led the girls to ask for peace, Cao suddenly talked about Mrs. Zhao's birthday that day.
"If it weren't for Mrs. Zhao personally sending someone over, I wouldn't have known that my cousin had also given a birthday gift, and it was also my mistake as an uncle..."
"Oh," Mrs. Kang looked at Song Nanqing with a cold gaze, "This girl has always been careful. ”
"Alas, who doesn't know that the old man Song and the Lingguo Mansion were so friendly, the cousin girl also saw Mrs. Zhao when she was a child, the two families talked about friendship, who in the capital compared, and the young lady thought that Mrs. Zhao should also be, but my aunt still said that you did something wrong, you live in our house, from the old lady to us, we all treat you as a girl, and whatever you eat can be used to follow you first," Zhuang is a fair-faced woman, with a long face, and a pair of eyebrows are very detailed. When she put down the teacup, her fingers were slightly cocked, and her eyes drifted to Song Nanqing with a hint of accusation, and said, "Now we are the last ones to know, cousin, what do you let outsiders think of our house, we are your grandfather, in terms of intimacy, you and we are a family." ”
Old Madam Kang's face sank, "Where are there so many words, the young girl is just a child, and it must be those subordinates who make their own decisions." ”
Zhuang pulled the corners of his mouth, and stopped his mother-in-law's increasingly ugly face.
It's just that he is a little angry in the end, and his face seems to be a little mocking.
Song Nanqing lowered the corners of her eyes slightly, the girl who was smoking a strip was as tall as a tender green bamboo, there was a very beautiful beauty, and when she raised her head again, the girl's eyes were slightly red among the crowd, and her bright little face seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist, which was very moving.
"When my grandfather was here, I specially said to Ah Luo that the Zhao family and the Song family have always had a great friendship, Mrs. Zhao did her birthday, and Ah Luo had not yet passed the filial piety period, so it was not good to go, but the birthday gift was carefully selected by Ah Luo, I think if my grandfather knew about it, he would definitely be pleased, besides, Ah Luo did not hide it from his grandmother and several aunts." By the end of the sentence, her voice became smaller and smaller, and a drop of water faintly appeared in her eyes. It is the truth that he did not hide it from the people of Kangfu, and it is also true that he did not take the initiative to mention it.
It is precisely in this way that Mrs. Kang is depressed, and Song Nanqing is getting her favor these days, only thinking that this well-behaved granddaughter has been deceived by the minions below.
A room full of people was sitting in a dangerous position, as if bullying a little girl, Cao stood up and immediately grabbed Song Nanqing's hand, and said with a smile, "Look, this girl, it's strange and pitiful, as if she has been wronged by something, your second aunt is not bad, but she is a little short-tempered." ”
The Cao family is really the wife in charge, and in a few words, Song Nanqing and the Zhuang family are put together.
Zhuang's heart was secretly hateful, glanced at the pretending to be loving Cao, and saw Song Nanqing standing aside pitifully, as if she was bullying the little girl, thinking that this niece had only been in the capital for three or four months, and even her thoughts had become deeper. These things should have been arranged for you, your eldest brother often walks in Beijing, just ask him to do these things, it is more reliable than those outsiders. ”
