Chapter 39: A Heart
Sikong Chenxi is in a dilemma, on the one hand, as a daughter, she should chase her out immediately, her mother has been so wronged, how can she not comfort her?
But according to the current situation, my father is still here, and that sunset is not useful to their gang at all, if she doesn't stay and pretend to compliment the second aunt, I'm afraid that my father will have a worse impression of their mother and daughter.
So, just like that, Sikong Liang, the second aunt, Dawn and Sunset got together for a meal very happily, and Chenxi was restless and chewing wax, Jiang was so angry that he turned back to Liufuju and fell to the ground.
After eating, everyone gathered in the small flower hall, and Sikong Chenxi sat far away, the farthest place from Sikong Liang and the second aunt.
Squinted at the past, I saw that the family was very happy, especially Sikong Xiaoxiao, and the smile on his face was very proud.
"Auntie, you see, your father is really kind to you. This priceless jade ruyi, coral agate screen. The crystal gemstone bead curtain and the peacock treasure fan inlaid with jade were all specially ordered by my father to be taken out of the treasury and given to my aunt. Dawn said with a smile, his face undisguised with elation.
These all prove that the general attaches great importance to the second aunt, and it will also relatively improve the status of their mother and daughter in the general's mansion.
Sikong Liang only found out after resting at the second aunt in the past few days, and now Tingyuxuan is no longer comparable to the past. Deserted, the objects inside, where is there a little bit of the residence of his favorite woman? People who don't know about it read it, and they really think it's the family nunnery of the Sikong family.
In a fit of rage, Sikong Liang reprimanded the group of stewards below the housekeeper, and now sent these to the second aunt, saying that it was to celebrate her birthday, but in fact, it was to make her residence look better again.
Hearing Dawn's words, Dawn finally held back the jealousy in her heart, still with a decent smile on her face, and asked, "Dawn." So what gift did you give to your aunt? ”
Dawn first made a gourd to cover his mouth, and exclaimed: "Ouch, I really haven't prepared any good gifts for my aunt." ”
Immediately afterward, he asked again: "Eldest sister." What about you, what gifts do you have for your aunt? ”
It is impossible for her not to give a gift at all, but the piano score has been given to the second prince by borrowing flowers and offering Buddha, and she doesn't know if the second prince will make any moves today, even if there is. That wasn't a gift she took out.
Dawn himself, in fact, he also prepared a small thing, but he didn't go to the elegant hall, and he had already given it to the second aunt in advance last night, so he didn't want to take it out here to show his ugliness.
This question is just to divert everyone's attention. She believes that with the virtuous name of the eldest lady Chenxi, even if she is reluctant to come here today, she will definitely prepare a gift for everyone to praise her filial piety.
Really. After Dawn asked, Chenxi showed a shy smile on her face, first went to the right seat to greet Sikong Liang and ask how the second aunt was doing, and then asked Yahuan to present the gift she had carefully prepared.
This gift is simple and simple, it is just a treasure of Kannon embroidery, but the unusual thing is that this Kannon embroidery is a double-sided embroidery, which is the use of the popular needle, and the needle, the needle, and the combination of different formations such as gold, flat gold, panjin, and gold foil, which were once lost. It took three years to embroider, and it is solemn and beautiful.
Because such things are precious, they can be said to be hard to find, and sometimes they take a lot of money to pass. People don't necessarily want to sell yet. The fact that the eldest lady was able to find such a gift for the second aunt shows her good intentions.
Sikong Liang's complexion softened a lot, touched his beard that was not too long, and said with a smile: "Chenxi, you are different from your mother, you are a person with a heart." ”
Chenxi was glad in her heart, but fortunately she didn't follow her mother and left like that. It wouldn't be good if her father had an opinion on her.
Two red clouds flew on his face, making a coquettish appearance, Chenxi lowered her head and smiled shyly: "I know that my aunt has always liked Guanyin, and I eat fasting and chanting Buddha every day to worship Guanyin Niangniang, so I specially found such an embroidery, I hope my aunt will like it." ”
I worked hard to please my aunt and a word of praise from my father, and I was happy to be like this. Thinking that she is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, she is at home on weekdays, but she is doing this at home, and then comparing the second lady's flying and domineering, if someone sees it, they will naturally have many different thoughts in their hearts.
Especially the dawn, she sneered in her heart, what did the words of the morning light mean just now, the second aunt has always prayed in front of Guanyin Niangniang in the day of fasting and reciting Buddha, in this case, such a person outside the world should no longer be keen on the affairs of men and women, her words are reminding the second aunt, you should no longer pester my father,
Dawn understands this, how can Bai Lan, who is smart and not exposed, not understand? It's just that she saw that Sikong Liang was still smiling and completely unaware, and she also smiled, very pleased: "Oh, eldest lady, I'm just a slave, how dare I bother you to break the bank?" ”
Pretending to be confused and retreating is the best way to deal with some people.
When Sikong Liang heard the words of the second aunt, he was not happy, glared at her, but there was still a smile on his face, and he scolded: "What are you talking about, you are originally her elder, how can you call yourself a slave in front of her?" ”
The second aunt said disrespectfully, but she still accepted the embroidery, and glanced at Chenxi quickly when she lowered her head.
At that glance, she almost couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply pinched into her palms, it was this pain that reminded her that there was a knife on her head, but sometimes she had to learn to be patient.
Endure it again and again, endure it if you can't bear it, and endure it again from the beginning!
But I was very angry in my heart, this mother and daughter have such a powerful mouth, no wonder the mother was angry with them just now. Since she woke up in a coma at dawn, she and her mother have suffered at her hands several times.
Dawn hated it so much, and she wrote down this hatred in her heart, almost going to be out of the sky with Dawn.
She forgot that it was actually because of Sikong Liang's partiality just now that Jiang Shi was so angry and left the table angrily. But he was bent on calculating this account on the heads of the dawn mother and daughter, some people are just so strange, they just remember what they want to remember, and they don't care what the facts are.
Immediately after, Xizhao also gave a gift, he was just a boy and underage and ignorant, so he asked the little guy to buy good rouge gouache outside to count. No one blamed him, but felt that the child had a heart.
This is the effect of Xizhao, after all, he is only a teenager in reality, and he is a sister-in-law, so there is no need to please an aunt on the bright side.
So, Dawn asked Dawn again about Dawn's gift, and everyone gave it, and Dawn didn't take out her gift again, and it really didn't matter.
Dawn laughed again and again without answering, but Chenxi asked relentlessly, the voice was a little sharp, where is the appearance of a famous daughter and a lady?
provoked Sikong Liang to look at her strangely, and Chenxi restrained a little at this time, the smile on his face was a little awkward, and even speaking became much more unnatural.
Chenxi smiled dryly and explained to everyone: "My sister has always been well-behaved and sensible, and she is extremely filial to her aunt, so I am curious about what gift she gave to her aunt." ”
To say that Dawn is well-behaved and sensible and filial to his aunt, this is a big joke in the world, not to mention the reputation of the evil girl who broke the dawn, not to mention the general's mansion, even in the whole of Kyoto, how many people don't know?
But the others didn't care, they only thought that Dawn deliberately said this in order to please Daybreak's mother and daughter. Only Dawn noticed it, and the smile that the corners of Chenxi's eyes and eyebrows couldn't hide.
She's proud?
Of course Chenxi is proud, her gift is worth a thousand gold, but Dawn, as the biological daughter of the second aunt, it seems a little difficult to give that little gadget.
She is the daughter of the Jiang family, and many of the Jiang family's methods are not deceived from her, so many movements in the dawn garden are also known.
For example, she knew that in fact, the gift given by Dawn was really unreachable, and it was even more clumsy against the backdrop of the general's precious jewels and her treasures embroidered on both sides, and the reason why she was so eager was just waiting, wanting to see Dawn make a fool of herself.
"I'm old, and I live in the backyard all the year round and don't see the sun, the second lady knows that I have a leg disease, so she specially sent me a pair of leg warmers." The second aunt smiled faintly and relieved the siege for the dawn.
In front of people, she also knows the rules, and she will not call the second lady by her name.
"Oh, it's a leg warmer." was so troubled by the morning light, everyone was curious, and after Sikong Liang heard the words of the second aunt, he said yes, and there was no other meaning.
Chenxi also said: "It turns out that it is a leg warmer." ”
Covering his mouth with a handkerchief, the standard movements of everyone's girlfriends, but Chenxi's real performance is not like this.
The uplifted tone, the smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, but it was clearly written sarcasm, you are a biological daughter, but you are so stingy, you gave such a gift?
Warm your legs? How much is it worth? In addition to Chenxi, it is estimated that many people present think so. The eyes of those maids, mothers, and little maids looking at the second lady changed a lot.
Chenxi was even more secretly proud in her heart, her mother really didn't calm down, isn't there a saying that the last laugh is the best?
Rong Mama didn't think so in her heart, last night, the second lady personally sent that thing to Tingyuxuan, which she embroidered by herself, and it was a real representative, her heart for the second aunt. (To be continued.) )
