117 Silent admonition
This happened, everyone ended unhappily, and the emperor didn't care much about Leng Zixi's arrival, but hurriedly took the minister back to the imperial study to discuss matters.
And Leng Zixi also took advantage of the fact that there was still a sick mother to take care of at home, and found an opportunity to leave with Yafu.
When Leng Zixi returned to Leng Mansion with Yafu, as soon as she stepped into the outside of Zixi Garden, she heard a low whimper, she quickened her pace and walked in, and saw that Hua Xia was lying on the table crying so sadly.
Leng Zixi walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Painting Xia?" What's wrong, what's wrong? ”
Hua Xia looked up at her young lady blankly, and then cried with a "wow......" sound.
Leng Zixi was helpless, so she had to pat Hua Xia's shoulder and comforted, "What's wrong?" What the hell is going on? ”
She looked at her young lady with tears: "Miss! How did you come back? I thought ......" Leng Zixi nodded and motioned for her to continue. She cried: "I thought Miss was gone, I was the only one ......" After speaking, she hugged Leng Zixi and didn't let go.
Leng Zixi swallowed her saliva, if she didn't know that this girl was really worried about her, she would have thought she was murdering. "Alas, that, painting Xia, or you let me go first, or you will murder your young lady with your own hands!"
"Huh? Woo, I'm sorry, miss. It's all my fault, are you okay? ”
Leng Zixi nodded and sighed: "It's okay, it's okay!" "Alas, it's actually quite sad to be small.
"Okay, why do you think so?" This girl's idea is really ...... Is this a lack of security?
Hua Xia looked at Leng Zixi with a sob, "Miss." You came back so late today, I thought something had happened to you, the palace is a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, not to mention that no one has taken care of you, so you have to rely on yourself. Hua Xia was worried, but he didn't dare to go out to find you, so he waited for you here alone. However, I couldn't wait for Miss after waiting for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so. So...... Just ......"
"That's why you're crying like this?" Leng Zixi asked.
Painting Xia's face suddenly became popular.
Leng Zixi looked at her with a pretended puzzlement: "Draw Xia." What happened to you? Why is your face so red? Are you sick? ”
"Oh, it's all young lady, it's obviously older than you, but why are you so embarrassed every time!" said. I also twisted the handkerchief.
Truly. It's true that Huaxia is two years older than her.
"Hmm. This is a question well worth considering. Leng Zixi tilted her head, pretending to be incomprehensible.
"Alas, Mademoiselle. You're bullying people again! ”
Leng Zixi looked Hua Xia up and down, then looked at his small body, and flattened his mouth even more innocently: "Is there one?" The meaning is unclear. Can our little body bully you? Is it possible?
"Miss!" Hua Xia shouted angrily and ashamedly.
"Hey, okay, no more fuss...... However, Huaxia, you have to remember that no matter when, Miss I will never leave you alone! So, don't worry about these things next time, you know? Leng Zixi said bitterly to the painting Xia. It seems that when do you have to tell the painting Xia something, otherwise, I don't know what this little girl is thinking in her head?
"Miss......" said and was about to cry again. Hey, being a woman, this is the highest state. See? Tears, soft tears, tender tears that are pitiful. She can't do it in her life! Fortunately, she is not a man, otherwise she would have indulged in it until she drowned.
The three of them quarreled for a while, and after a while, they realized that it was time for dinner, and the three of them were discussing dinner in Zixiyuan, when they saw a subordinate come over and say that the master had ordered them to come over and have dinner as a family.
Leng Zixi asked a few times, and the man did say: "The master just said to let the eldest lady and the fourth lady go over together, but the eldest lady has already taken a seat, just waiting for the fourth young lady to you." ”
At this time, she really believed that her father was asking her to go too, and she was a little worried, not knowing whether the past would be a good thing or a bad thing.
Leng Zixi ordered to go down, and then asked Yafu to paint Xia to dress up and clean up for her, and then rushed to the main courtyard.
When they arrived, Leng Changfeng, the eldest lady, several aunts, and several sisters had already taken their seats, and the dishes had been prepared one by one.
However, Leng Changfeng raised his eyes and saw Leng Zixi coming, but he rarely showed a smiling face, and said, "Don't be late next time, sit down." ”
When Aunt Zou heard this, she also echoed two sentences diligently, but Leng Ziyan only smiled silently, and anyone could see that the smile was not in their eyes.
Leng Zixi sat down next to the eldest lady Ji, and waited for Leng Changfeng to speak before picking up the dishes and chopsticks and eating gracefully.
The family ate silently, but Leng Ziyan felt more and more that this atmosphere made her uncomfortable, where would she be like a stranger today when she eats with her mother in her Ziyan Garden, if it is different from usual today, there is more Leng Zixi, she raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of Leng Zixi bowing her head and saying nothing, and she really felt that Leng Zixi was bored with the whole family.
But today she was just reprimanded by her father, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she had to please her father first, and when she thought of it, she took the chopsticks at hand and gave Leng Changfeng a spoonful of vegetables, and said, "Daddy, Yan'er knows that you like to eat crispy bamboo shoots the most." ”
If it were usual, Leng Changfeng would definitely be happy with his daughter's filial piety, but today just because Leng Ziyan was bold and spying on the guests, he broke the rules and made him lose face in front of the other party, and now he sees Leng Ziyan's move, thinking that he is also spoiled on weekdays, Leng Ziyan will be like this, so he half blames himself and half is depressed, and said: "Yan'er, the etiquette of eating at the dinner table is not spoken, you have to study hard after today." ”
After he said this, he looked at Leng Zixi and the eldest lady again, and saw that they were all as usual, and they were generous, and they became more and more pleasing to the eye, although this Leng Zixi has many things that are wrong on weekdays, but this upbringing is really much better than Leng Ziyan. In the end, it was the child she gave birth to. Leng Changfeng's heart flashed the name of the eldest lady, and his mood became more and more gloomy.
Aunt Zou observed the words and looks, and saw that Leng Changfeng's face was a little uneasy, so she gently kicked Leng Changfeng with her foot before he came back to his senses.
Leng Changfeng glanced at Aunt Zou, thinking that she had worked hard to take care of this mansion all these years, and she had not complained, but she still had to suffer from the rumors and rumors about her outside, and the disrespect for her, in the end, it was a little difficult for her, and it was understandable that she neglected Leng Ziyan's teaching. It's just that everything has to be done slowly.
Leng Ziyan was told by Leng Changfeng, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, so she ate with her head bored and did not speak again.
After all the meals were finished, Leng Zixi was about to retire, when he saw Leng Changfeng let her come to her and say a few words to her before letting her leave. (To be continued.) )
