Chapter 16: The Gift
As the heavy curtains rose and fell in the room, the beating light reflected Lin Wanwan's side face flickering, and her misty eyes had an uncalm light.
"Silly boy, my grandmother has followed your wishes, how can she still be such a poor cat." When Mrs. Chen saw her granddaughter who was still standing there, she beckoned to her, and her tone was full of pity and pampering.
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she opened her mouth, but before she could speak, tears fell. blurred the face of the kind old man in front of him.
"What to cry about! Now that I've done it and seen it clearly, it's not worth crying about it. Old Madam Chen's voice was raised a little, and she was sitting in the Taishi chair, with a sense of majesty.
After hearing this, Lin Wanwan, who was blurry in front of her, couldn't suppress her tears, and stepped forward and fell into Mrs. Chen's arms.
She didn't know what to cry about, she had obviously bought time, but when she saw her father brushing his sleeves away, she still couldn't suppress her sadness.
Lin Wanwan didn't know why she was sad, but Old Madam Chen did.
No matter how Lin Wanwan resisted returning to Shangshu Mansion, seeing that her biological father really treated her differently from being a daughter, how could she not taste it.
At this moment, Mrs. Chen also blamed herself, thinking about whether the estrangement between their father and son and father and daughter was also related to her.
Reaching out and patting her granddaughter's back, Mrs. Chen's voice was a little dumb: "Good child, don't cry." Whether he gives you favor or not, you are the concubine of Shangshu Mansion and the serious granddaughter of Zhenguo General's Mansion, which they can't fight for. ”
"In the past, my grandmother always thought that you were still young, and there were some things that you would understand when you grew up, and I didn't want to blink an eye, but my obedient girl understood everything. You did a good job today, but next time, my grandmother hopes that you don't choose to retreat and plan. They don't have that right to make you retreat! ”
When Mrs. Chen said the last sentence, her eyes were instantly covered with coldness and fierceness. This emotion infected Lin Wanwan from her words, making her slammed, and her crying suddenly disappeared.
Faced with her granddaughter's obvious or frightened reaction, Old Madam Chen sighed and softened her voice again: "Does Wanwan like to live in the General's Mansion?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Wanwan subconsciously replied.
Old Madam Chen smiled a little grimly, and gently stroked her hair: "Who does Wanwan like the most in the General's Mansion." ”
Who's your favorite?
Grandmother, of course, why is this question a little strange?
Lin Wanwan raised her head and looked at her grandmother with doubt.
Old Madam Chen looked at her granddaughter's ignorant appearance, but she sneered, and hugged her in her arms again: "My Wanwan really hurts." You like to live in the General's Mansion, so you have been in the General's Mansion all along, and you are not going anywhere. ”
Hearing Mrs. Chen's words, Lin Wanwan became sad again.
Isn't she going back to Shangshu Mansion in early March, how could she not go anywhere? This must be Mrs. Chen's heart, otherwise how could Fang Cai say with her without retreating.
Although her heart was not calm, Lin Wanwan still promised her that she would not go anywhere, only accompany her grandmother.
Old Madam Chen didn't notice her little emotions, hugged her and talked for a while, and at the same time secretly decided that there was no need to delay some things.
Things also calmed down as Lin Hongzhi and his party left.
There were still a group of distinguished guests behind the courtyard, and after Mrs. Chen talked to Lin Wanwan again, she also planned to go back to the stage. and then there is a daughter-in-law pressing the field, and she, the protagonist, has not been absent for so long.
Lin Wanwan's mood is also much better, no matter what, her first step is a success. Thinking like this, he also recovered his spirits, and was ready to act according to his own plan again, so as to find out the cause of the accident in Shangshufu in a limited time.
had been all focused on planning before, and at the moment when Lin Wanwan helped Mrs. Chen stand up, she suddenly remembered something, and with an 'ouch' sound, she pressed Mrs. Chen back into the chair and turned her head and ran out of the house.
was shocked by her granddaughter's strong hand, and Mrs. Chen's waist hurt, and she couldn't sit down well crying and laughing, to see what kind of trouble she made with this monkey.
Old Madam Chen sat in the Taishi's chair, only to hear Lin Wanwan whispering something outside the house, and then saw that the navy blue curtain was lifted.
However, only the bright light and cold wind penetrated the room, and there was not half a figure in sight.
Just when Mrs. Chen was puzzled, Lin Wanwan's crisp voice came in, and the pleasing pink figure came.
"Babbling - Shou is better than the pine and cypress trees of Nanshan, and the blessing is as long as the East China Sea." The singing sound like Lin Laiquan's rhyme sounded in the house, and Lin Wanwan also threw her sleeves and twisted her waist, and performed the song of the Eight Immortals' birthday that Old Man Chen had just watched. Mrs. Chen was so happy that she even forgot to close her mouth, staring at her granddaughter's dancing figure with relief and feelings.
"Your house celebrates its birthday today, and it is good to play and sing and dance. Come and look at the Shoutang, the lights and candles are brilliant and joyful..."
Seeing Mrs. Chen's smile, Lin Wanwan sang harder, and the girl's sweet voice drank a song of Eight Immortals' birthday Although there is no strong sound, it has a unique kind of pleasant and intoxicating. Mrs. Chen was also fascinated when she heard it.
Just when the loud singing voice of the girl in the house came out, Lin Haoqi went and returned. From a distance, I saw the maid guarding the porch pointing to the house with her finger.
His footsteps stopped suddenly, and he also heard the girl's beautiful singing voice, and his eyes flashed with joy and helplessness, so he had to turn around and look at the visitor apologetically. "Let Mrs. Wusu Hou, the prince and the second master laugh. The little sister is stubborn, and I don't know how to think of this to make my grandmother happy. ”
The one who came was a noble lady and two young men, who were members of the Marquis of Wusu who were good with the general's mansion.
The arrival of a few people did not let the people inside notice, and the girl's babbling and singing sound was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, which was so crisp that it hit people's hearts.
Wusu Hou's wife Xia Shi also heard the singing, pinched the handkerchief and covered her mouth and smiled, and said softly: "Miss Lin is really filial, but it is the wrong time for us to come, we will enter later, we can't destroy Miss Lin's carefully prepared birthday gift." ”
Xia has a delicate and small melon seed face, he is over thirty years old but well-maintained, his smile is natural and he speaks kindly, and his words are even more considerate and polite. caused Lin Haoqi to have a good impression of him, and he apologized again.
"This is Second Master Lin's sister-in-law, Miss Lin San? What a wonderful person. Su Zhaoyu, the second son of the Marquis of Wusu, looked directly at the curtain with his eyes, as if he wanted to see inside.
It should have been a well-intentioned compliment, but his non-scurry expression disgusted Lin Haoqi, and his sword eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily. Xia Shi hurriedly glanced at his second son, and Su Zhaoyu immediately reacted, retracting his gaze and smiling awkwardly.
Su Zhaoheng, the prince of Wusu, kept his eyes slightly down, his face was calm and condensed, like a jade tree standing against the wind, and his momentum was extraordinary.
The other party expressed his apology, Lin Haoqi is not a petty person, and nodded generously and said that he is his sister-in-law.
Lin Wanwan's crisp singing stopped after half an hour, and when Mrs. Chen saw the embroidered picture she had finally offered, a joyful laugh also came out.
Hearing the movement, Lin Haoqi saluted the three of them, and it was rude to go straight before he went to lift the curtain.
"Grandmother, your distinguished guest has come to the door, and Mrs. Wusu Hou is here to congratulate you on your birthday."
The voice of the young Qingyue came, and Lin Wanwan, who was held in the arms of Mrs. Chen, hurriedly got up and smoothed her clothes, and then she saw a mermaid coming in after she finished dressing.
The soft lady smiled kindly, and the two young men in brocade clothes behind her were elegant and handsome.
The originally sweet smile on Lin Wanwan's face stiffened at this moment, her face was pale and gray, and even her lips trembled......
PS: It seems that Xiao Wu's name likes polyphonic words, and the pronunciation of Su Zhaoheng in the text is héng. By the way, sell a cute roll, ask for a recommendation ticket, all kinds of rolling ~~meow~~~
