30, looking for plums
At dusk on the second day, the family gathered in Nanyuan, and the old lady said that she had received a letter from home yesterday, and it turned out that it was not only the Bai family who received the letter from home. Several other rooms also received it, but Aunt Wu and other aunts didn't know the content of the family letter. So when Aunt Wu heard the old lady say this at first glance, her heart was sour, and she looked at the Bai family with unkind eyes. Bai was thinking about his thoughts, so he didn't notice Aunt Wu at all.
The old lady sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, reached out and took out a handkerchief from her arms to wipe the tea on her mouth, and said casually: "The old lady can say, this time everyone has to come back, it is a matter of worshipping ancestors, and this year's banquet must not be sloppy." After speaking, he glanced in the direction of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady lowered her head and only said, "Yes." And he said no more. On the contrary, the third lady said very attentively: "I see that my sister-in-law is really hard to hold a New Year's banquet every year, so it is better to apportionment it to us, so that I can share it." ”
Sheng Xue saw that her eyes turned to the third lady, and she smiled secretly in her heart, the third aunt was still too anxious, and she wanted to be in charge of the family, and she refused to hide it. The old lady glanced at the third lady, and then provoked something else, asking about the performance of several children in the family in the family science, and Sheng Sheng covered up the matter.
Sheng Yunling and Sheng Mianyin are the older boys in the family, and they study in the academy instead of ethnicity. Therefore, the two of them told the old lady about the things in the academy in a regular manner. The old lady just wanted to change her mind so that she could suppress the third lady's thoughts, so she didn't listen carefully. Then Sheng Poria also talked about the things in the genealogy, and specially said that Sheng Xuejian was praised by the master. Sheng Xue saw that it was not good to listen to the secret way, Sheng Poria was killing two birds with one stone!
In the Sheng family, except for his mother, no one wants Sheng Xuejian to be so smart and clever, and no one wants Sheng Xuejian to be the top among all the sisters. In the previous life, the old lady rushed to kill their mother and daughter, how could she be happy that Sheng Xue was versatile in this life? Sure enough, the more Sheng Poria continued, the more bad the old lady's expression became. There is another person who also looks bad, and that is Sheng Mixiang.
When Sheng Xuejian didn't come, Sheng Mixiang was the best, and Sheng Mixiang has always been arrogant, how could she bear to be compared to others, and Sheng Xuejian, who was seven years younger than herself. Sheng Poria cocos' trick is to make the old lady and Sheng Mixiang not want to see Sheng Xue. What a poisonous ploy! But why did Poria do this? Could it be that the matter of stealing the flower paper was discovered by Sheng Poria? Sheng Xue was secretly shocked when she saw it!
But after Sheng Poria finished speaking, she didn't say anything else, the old lady stiffened her face and waved her hand to signal Sheng Poria to retreat, and she didn't look at Sheng Xuejian, let alone praise a few words. Sheng Poria returned to her original position and quietly kicked Sheng Mixiang's shoes lightly. At this time, Sheng Mixiang immediately reacted, stood up and shouted softly: "Grandmother~"
The old lady Wu is the most fond of the children in the third room, especially Sheng Mixiang, who is almost obedient to Sheng Mixiang on weekdays. Sheng Mixiang is also a smart person, and Guan will coax the old lady to be happy with sweet words. The old lady knew it, but she was willing to drink this bowl of ** soup. "Do we Xiang'er have something to say to our grandmother?" The old lady looked at Sheng Mixiang with a kind face.
Sheng Mixiang stepped forward in three or two steps, leaned on the old lady and sat down, and the third lady took advantage of the situation to coax: "Our Xiang'er is close to the old lady, and even I, the mother, will be blushing at my mother." The old lady glanced at the third lady and said, "Clean nonsense!" But the smile on her face showed that the old lady was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Grandmother, the plum blossoms of Fahua Temple are blooming well, we have always had the custom of stepping on the snow to find plums in Luzhou, and my granddaughter thought that if I could go to Fahua Temple to dance with my second sister, wouldn't it be an elegant thing?" Sheng Mixiang was coquettish with her arms around the old lady's neck at the moment, her eyes full of expectation. Where could the old lady not agree? Busy said: "Go and call the porter to take care of it, bring a few girls and mothers-in-law, the sky outside is getting more and more stunned, it's okay to go out to play, be careful not to freeze my baby granddaughter!" ”
As soon as Sheng Mixiang heard that her grandmother had agreed, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank her, where was the old lady willing to let her kneel, and hurriedly asked her aunt to help her up. He also told Sheng Poria to take good care of Sheng Honey and not make any mistakes. Sheng Poria was happy in her heart, and quickly nodded yes. Sheng Xue saw all this in his eyes. It's a big show, and everyone has a plan. Sheng Mixiang was just attracted by Sheng Poria's words and wanted to go to Fahua Temple to play. And Sheng Poria went out of the house proudly with the help of Sheng Honey Fragrance, and then met the eldest son of Changping Bofu.
As for the old lady, she didn't simply agree to Sheng Mixiang to go out to play, but because this Fahua Temple has always been a place for Luzhou people to go in the snow and look for plums. However, this Fahua Temple is not something that ordinary people can go to, and the people who can go to enjoy the plum are the dignitaries and nobles on the border of Luzhou. The old lady even Sheng Mixiang is the top of the sisters in the family, and Sheng Mixiang is already twelve years old this year, and she will be in two years. It's a good time to make a name for yourself.
After that, Sheng Mixiang said something to make the old lady happy, and then the old lady was tired, and everyone dispersed. Bai Shi led Sheng Xuejian to walk at the end, Sheng Xuejian carefully looked at Sheng Poria and Sheng Mixiang, only to see that today the two of them were dressed in a dress, Sheng Poria was wearing a Meilan jacket skirt and a magnolia hairpin, which was not elegant in temperament. The eldest prince of Changping Bofu has always loved Meilan, and it seems that Sheng Poria has put in a lot of effort.
Sheng Xue saw that she looked at Sheng Ling's happy expression carefully, and guessed that she should not have found out about the flower note, but why did she set herself up? After thinking about it, Sheng Xue still couldn't understand the reason. As he walked, the Bai family led Sheng Xue and saw that he passed by the three-room courtyard. The location of this courtyard is right in the middle of the Sheng family, which is the best place for feng shui. Sheng Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw it, the third room was the real heart of the old lady.
And Aunt Wu is probably just a tool that can be used in the old lady's heart. But this is a good thing for Sheng Xuejian, Aunt Wu's status in the old lady's heart can just be used to make a big fuss. If Aunt Wu loses the old lady's backer, then the second room can be stopped a lot.
Sheng Xue saw that she was thinking about how to make the old lady tired of Aunt Wu, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, Bai inadvertently lowered her head, and saw her daughter's appearance, thinking that her daughter didn't say a word when she was in the province this morning, so she asked, "Aman, what's wrong?" Can't you hang out with your sisters, and you're not happy? ”
