【204】Finally Meet (2nd Update)
Old Man Zheng was very surprised by the arrival of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, but after thinking about it, it should be that person's matter is very important to them so eager.
Thinking of the identity of the owner of the portrait with only half a side face that his nephew had investigated, Old Man Zheng's expression was indescribably complicated and difficult to distinguish, but the speed of rushing to the front hall was not slow, since everyone was here, what should be said still had to be said, otherwise his ginseng would not be easy to get.
He heard that Qin Shuang and Ah Chen had also been to the banker's house two days ago, and the last time they were at the auction, he had seen them with the banker's eldest young master, Zhuang Qingyun, and they seemed to know each other, since they could give him a ginseng, how could there be fewer acquaintances? If he didn't get the ginseng earlier, he was afraid that the ginseng would be returned to others after a long time.
The people in the dining room followed Mr. Zheng one after another, and after the big room was gone, the flustered Liu suddenly grabbed Zheng De's sleeve, hesitated for a moment, bit his lower lip, and said, "I'm not very good today, you see, don't you go to see the guests?" It is also avoided to be lazy and not good to the guests. ”
"Are you feeling unwell?" Zheng De frowned slightly, "If you can still insist, just persevere, you forget, those two people are the ones who opened a medicine hall, and the reason why Dad is quite polite to them is precisely because they have a rare ginseng of a very high vintage, in addition to ginseng, you can also get a lot of precious medicinal materials in the future, if you are not feeling well, you should go to see it together, and when you need it, let Dad help get some medicinal materials, maybe the ginseng can also get two more pieces." ”
Moreover, he always felt that the old man attached great importance to the two of them, not just because the other party could get precious medicinal materials or because he liked to gamble on stones and knew jade like the old man, maybe there were other important things that the old man did not mention to them.
"But......" Liu gritted her teeth, she didn't dare at all, and she didn't want to see the girl who might have been her hadn't seen for more than ten years, Qin Shuang was still young when she left, but she wasn't afraid that she would recognize herself, but what about the others? Will anyone notice that they look similar and wonder what?
If it was known that Qin Shuang was her own flesh and blood, how could she continue to stay in the Zheng family! Those concubines in the second room will inevitably fall into the well in front of her, and take the opportunity to seek a higher position! She finally gained a foothold in the Zheng family, and she didn't want to make any changes in her current life at all!
Why, why did Qin Shuang come to Liancheng, and he still wanted to have something to do with Old Man Zheng! Liu couldn't control the complaints in his heart.
Zheng De didn't find out the feelings of the people around him, and only said in a low voice: "The people in the big room have gone, if there are fewer people in our second room, I'm afraid we will be suppressed by the big house, if we let the big room and those two guests make friends, in the future, if there is a demand in this regard, the other party can go to the big house first, won't we have to suffer?" ”
Although the Zheng family's two rooms seem to be peaceful on weekdays, once interests are involved, they will inevitably compete with each other.
Liu didn't think much of Zheng De's words, although she didn't want Qin Shuang's appearance to affect her current life, but if it really came to the time when there were any interests to seek, if Qin Shuang knew her identity, would it be possible that she would help outsiders, but not towards her, her mother-in-law? It is impossible for their second room to lose to the big house this time.
"Okay, don't gossip, let's go, it's not good to go late." Saying that, Zheng De directly pulled Liu out of the dining room, not giving Liu the slightest chance to refuse.
Liu wanted to struggle several times, but in the end, he could only try to restrain his feelings and follow his husband to meet guests.
In the main hall of the Zheng family, the old man Zheng sat on the main seat, the first person on the left side was Zheng Li, the boss of the Zheng family, and on the side was his wife Wang, and the youngest daughter Zheng Peipei was sitting in his arms, and then the eldest son Zheng Xian was sitting next to him, and then there was the second room, and Zheng Yunshu, the eldest daughter of Zheng De's late main room, and Zheng Xiao, the only son of the Liu family, next to him.
The housekeeper of the Zheng family went to invite Qin Shuang and his party in, and Zheng De, Liu and Qin Shuang Achen appeared in front of the hall almost at the same time, Liu always wanted to avoid contact with Qin Shuang as much as possible, even when he arrived in the front hall, he tried to talk as little as possible, so as not to attract attention, but who would have thought that her previous friction would make her and Qin Shuang collide, and without being fully mentally prepared, she saw her daughter who had been absent for more than ten years without warning!
That's right, when she saw Qin Shuang's face, the little luck in her heart disappeared in an instant, and it was confirmed almost immediately, this was her biological flesh and blood, Qin Shuang who was left by her in Tongfu Village.
The flesh that fell off his body, even if he hadn't seen it for more than ten years, even if Qin Shuang was only one or two years old at that time, but that indescribable feeling could make Liu assert the identity of the other party, in contrast, Qin Shuang didn't have this special induction, originally she was not the real Qin Shuang, what kind of induction could she have with Liu? If this is not the case, there is no need to get Liu's portrait in advance, even if I am afraid that I will really see it, it will take some effort to find out Liu's from it, of course, if the Zheng family introduces herself, even if she can't recognize it, they will point it out to her, but now......
This step was completely omitted, Qin Shuang looked at the woman in front of her with a smile of unknown meaning on her face, and her eyes widened.
The portrait painting I got in my hand before was just a bust, only to the shoulder, mainly to identify Liu's face, and now, looking at Liu in front of him dressed as a noble lady, Qin Shuang couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, the woman who married into a big family is really different, where can you still see the vulgar atmosphere of those women in Tongfu Village on Liu's body? From the inside to the outside, she looks like the wife of a wealthy family with a good background, Mrs. Kuo.
Although there was a little shock and panic in her expression, it was difficult to hide the high shelf on her face that she had maintained for many years, the Zheng family had an extraordinary status in Liancheng, and there were usually many people who had to flatter and stutter, as the wife of the second room, the Liu family had naturally been accustomed to making a high-minded appearance
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
is used to making a high-minded posture, but this kind of appearance is inevitably a little ridiculous when placed in front of Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang has a lot of feelings about Liu's dress, on the contrary, why is Liu not like this for her? Although Liu recognized Qin Shuang at the first time, Qin Shuang's dress and demeanor also made Liu unable to believe it.
Qin Shuang was born in a poor and remote country like Tongfu Village, and grew up in front of two mean women, Qin Li and Tian Xiuhua, in Liu's opinion, she should be raised like those two women to be on the stage, but the person in front of him, where is the appearance of a vulgar village woman? With fair skin, delicate and lovely appearance, with a smile on her face, her clothes don't look too gorgeous, but it is difficult to hide the indescribable clean temperament on her body, Qin Shuang's appearance not only does not look like a girl from the countryside, but even compared to Zheng Yunshu, she is more like a rich lady from a family with excellent upbringing!
But soon, Liu remembered that his father-in-law said that Qin Shuang and her husband run a medicine hall, and they still have spare money to participate in the gambling stone and spend seven or eight thousand taels of silver to buy a piece of jade, which shows that the living conditions are very good, so thinking about it, it is reasonable to have such a good dress, as for temperament, even if Qin Shuang has developed in recent years, the habits he has developed since childhood cannot be changed, right?
After all, the Liu family didn't believe that Qin Shuang could really be as knowledgeable as a young lady from a big family in addition to the appearance, and in a way, it can also be said that she didn't believe that in addition to her good luck to become the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, could Qin Shuang also have such good luck?
The two sides looked at each other face to face, and it was only a moment of effort, nothing was delayed, only a pause, all kinds of thoughts swirled in their hearts, but in the blink of an eye, the strangeness in Qin Shuang's eyes, as well as Liu's stiff body, all recovered, no matter what thoughts he had, his face was full of harmony.
Liu's case was annoyed that he shouldn't have delayed time in the dining room before, and he ran into Qin Shuang head-on, but Zheng De thought just the opposite, he felt that this was an opportunity for their second room, compared to introducing everyone in the big room and the second room after entering, so that the other party might not be able to leave an impression on anyone, it was better to take a picture with someone first to leave an impression, and then deepen it when it was time to really introduce it, wouldn't their second room have an advantage first?
Thinking like this, Zheng De's face showed a very kind smile, and he didn't care that he should be regarded as an elder in front of Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, so he made a gesture of inviting them first, and said with a smile: "The two of you are my father's guests, right?" Please come in, my father has been waiting inside for a long time. ”
Obviously, she heard that the guests were visiting during the meal, and hurriedly came over to greet the guests, and said that after waiting for a long time, Qin Shuang naturally would not believe this kind of statement, but when people put on an attitude, she would not refute the other party's face, and besides, this is Liu's current husband, Zheng Erye Zheng De, right?
Qin Shuang threw Zheng De an intriguing smile, nodded, and walked into the hall with Ah Chen.
Zheng De was a little strange at Qin Shuang's strange glance, and always felt that she seemed to have something to say to him, but she didn't know Qin Shuang before, how could someone who didn't have any intersection have something to say to him? Maybe it's just a delusion? Zheng De shook off the strange feeling in his heart, and hurriedly followed with Liu.
As soon as Qin Shuang and Ah Chen walked into the hall, Old Man Zheng took the lead in standing up to show his attention to the guests.
Such a cautious attitude made Qin Shuang and Ah Chen silently exchange a look, Qin Shuang smiled and stepped forward and nodded slightly to Old Man Zheng, "I took the liberty to visit today, just because we waited for the news in the past few days, I really can't wait, I hope Old Man Zheng will not be surprised." ”
Old Man Zheng said: "It's okay, I originally planned to go to Lingxiu Villa later, you made a special trip, but it saved me from running this old bone, I have to thank you, sit down and say." ”
Qin Shuang and Ah Chen sat in the position on the right that was obviously specially vacated for them, and only Hehuan and Baizhu were accompanied by two people, standing behind them dutifully.
Zheng De and Liu also sat in their place between Dafang and Zheng Yunshu, and Old Man Zheng only frowned at their tardiness and didn't say anything.
"I'll introduce you to my family." Old man Zheng pointed to the big house on the left and the others began to introduce them one by one, starting from the big house, the population of the Zheng family is not worse than that of Zhao Da's family, although there are few concubines, but there are quite a lot of concubines, but today only the descendants who come to receive Qin Shuang and Ah Chen together, and only the descendants can eat with the old man Zheng, and the concubines are only twice a month on the fifteenth day of the new year, and other important days of the New Year's festival can eat with the old man Zheng, on weekdays, you only need to ask for peace every day, and when important guests come to visit, you don't need the children of the concubine to come out to receive, It can be said that the tutor is more strict than the average family, and the difference between the concubines is also very obvious, and the concubines are absolutely not allowed to exceed the slightest.
Of course, the concubine can't be disrespectful to the wife, correspondingly, the wife's words and deeds must also be attached to the identity, and the concubine can't be overly suppressed, in short, the family rules are very strict, and no one is allowed to do things like family style, the only exception is to treat grandchildren, such as Zheng Xiao, who is sweet and filial in front of the old man, even if he is a little arrogant outside, causing some trivial things, the old man Zheng will only turn a blind eye, and he will not punish Zheng Xiao for anything, which is also due to Zheng Xiao is descendant, if he is a concubine, even if he wants to be filial, really filial, a little hot, Mr. Zheng will never give such preferential treatment.
It's a bit far away, back to the topic, because all the people here are descendants, and the old man Zheng only has two sons, and the other concubines either died of illness or left Liancheng to develop elsewhere, Liancheng is just two people, only these people are introduced, the population is quite simple, and the introduction of people is completed soon, and the four of Qin Shuang also wrote down the names of these people one by one without much effort.
When introducing, they also secretly paid attention to the demeanor of these people, so as to observe the personalities of these people, the relationship with other people, etc., of course, the most important thing is Ofang and Er
12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!
It is the relationship between the big house and the second room, as well as the relationship between Liu and Zheng Yunshu, and what is the relationship between Zheng Yunshu and Zheng Xiao, etc.
Zheng Yunshu is seventeen years old this year, has been married, it is said that she will get married in two months, when Liu became Zheng De's stepfamily, Zheng Yunshu's mother passed away for two years, that is to say, Zheng Yunshu was only two years old at the time, not yet remembered, grew up beside Liu, even if she knew that Liu was not her own mother, Zheng Yunshu looked at her after Liu came in, and it could be seen that her relationship with Liu was very good, correspondingly, Zheng Xiao's half-brother was naturally okay.
can make Zheng Yunshu treat her as a real mother, obviously means that the Liu family has always been really good to Zheng Yunshu, and can raise other women for Zheng Desheng's children, Liu's mentality is quite good, or because Zheng Yunshu is a woman, sooner or later she will get married, and she doesn't have to worry about what she will fight with her son, so it will be like this? Can you also save people from talking? If Zheng Yunshu was a boy, he didn't know what he would be raised.
Anyway, the fact is that she and Zheng Yunshu have a pretty good relationship with their mother and daughter, in contrast, recalling the life of Qin Shuang, a biological flesh and blood in the Qin family, there is an indescribable irony, look, people can even raise people who have nothing to do with them as their own daughters, but they don't care about the meat that fell off their bodies, what a ruthless mother can do it?
Qin Shuang didn't keep staring at the Liu family, just wandered between Zheng Yunshu and the Liu family for a while, and in the eyes of others, they would only think that they were writing down their faces and names, and they wouldn't think much about it, but the weak-hearted Liu family chuckled inexplicably, almost didn't dare to look up at the other side, and his body froze again.
Obviously, Qin Shuang didn't say anything, and she didn't pay too much attention to her, but she just felt that even a casual look made her feel like a man's back, fidgeting, and eager to turn around and leave immediately.
After Qin Shuang got the satisfactory effect, she withdrew her gaze, and regardless of whether Liu Shi was weak or panicked by her gaze, she gestured to the acacia behind her, and the latter immediately took out the wooden box containing ginseng that she was carrying and placed it on the small table between Qin Shuang and Ah Chen.
The eyes of the people in the second room of the big room opposite involuntarily fell on the wooden box, and needless to say, they could guess what was inside.
