Chapter 17: The Bitterness of the Red Face [5]

Xu Suzhen raised her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead a little stiffly, and the wrinkles on her face were all overflowing with a smile, "Cheng, mother, this is fine." ”

The mother and daughter were about to enter the house, but a group of people came outside.

Zhu Yan raised his hand to cover the strong sunlight, looked at the brightly dressed people outside the courtyard wall fixedly, and whispered, "It's another group of uninvited guests." ”

"Most of them belong to the Zhou family." Xu Suzhen pulled up her cuffs, calmly picked up a bucket of well water, and washed the mud on her hands.

The group stopped outside the courtyard, and a woman led by her looked inside, "Is Sister-in-law Xu at home?" ”

"Here, come in and sit down." Xu Suzhen turned around and entered the house, took a bench and came out, and saw Zhu Yan stunned beside her, looking embarrassed, and smiled quietly, "Yanzi, don't worry, it's probably their young lady who went back to Beijing, and now she has come to leave." ”

The woman slowly moved in, and instead of saying hello first, she looked around at the scenery in the courtyard and said with a flattering smile: "My sister-in-law's house is so refreshing, and these trees are growing well, so I think I can bear a few more fruits this year." ”

"Mei Niang has always been so polite, sit down and talk." Xu Suzhen smiled and pulled Mei Niang to look very affectionate.

Zhu Yan couldn't get used to their pretending appearance, so she went into the house and poured a bowl of tea, walked out quickly and took a pestle to Mei Niang's side, and said stiffly: "Auntie drink saliva and moisten your throat." ”

Mei Niang naturally heard her unfriendliness, the smile on her face paused, and then she grabbed Zhu Yan's white and tender little hands and rubbed them a few times, making Zhu Yan a little afraid of whether she would get skinned, "Yanzi is really good-looking, and she is also very virtuous in doing things, no wonder Mrs. Zhou fell in love with it at a glance, the old man just has eyesight." ”

Zhu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, sure enough, he came for the Zhou family.

Mei Niang said, squeezed her eyes at Xu Suzhen, and slowly sipped the tea brought out by Zhu Yan, while waiting for her to answer.

Xu Silk Zhen guessed right, after the Qingming Festival, Zhou hurriedly returned to the capital, Zhou Yi's mother Han didn't look down on Zhu Yan, and changed the way to coax the old lady to withdraw from her family, the old lady is old, although she likes Zhu Yan's personality and appearance, she can't stand the daughter-in-law three days and two heads to say that Zhu Yan is a Kefu life, so she promised to delay it first.

Han got this sentence, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, so he immediately found Mei Niang to withdraw from his family, and when the old lady remembered this matter later, the tokens had been withdrawn at that time, so naturally there was nothing to be done.

Mei Niang and Xu Suzhen are quite familiar with each other, and after saying this, she waited for Xu Suzhen to say that Zhu Yan's status was low and she couldn't climb this family business, so she naturally proposed to withdraw from her family.

The sun-dried peilan flavor is light and distant, giving people a sense of stability, and Mei Niang slowly squinted her eyes, enjoying the warm spring light.

But after a while, a bowl of tea was drunk to the bottom, but Xu Suzhen just looked at her and smiled, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Something seems to be wrong......

Mei Niang's good mood suddenly disappeared, and her thin eyebrows frowned, but thinking that after all, it was the Zhou family who was at a loss, so she had to laugh again, but compared with the calm smile just now, it was much stiffer.

"Cough, sister-in-law Xu, I think Yanzi is really a good girl, even if she marries into the Zhou family, she can be regarded as wronged her."

"Huh." Zhu Yan hooked her lips and sneered slightly, what a "marrying into the Zhou family is also wronged"!

Mei Niang was slightly worried by her laughter, but when she thought that she was just a sick girl, she laughed wantonly again, "Yanzi, look, your aunt said the central thing......"

Zhu Yan had a cold face, but he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Auntie said very much." ”

Mei Niang was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect this girl to become so strong, she coughed lightly and snorted, "Originally, it was also a good marriage for you to marry the Zhou family, but it's a pity that ......"

She subconsciously raised her head and saw that Xu Suzhen was still smiling with an angry face, while Zhu Yan hooked the corners of her mouth, with a look of "the show is about to start, I have been waiting for a long time".

"Before Master Zhou went out, he happened to order a family affair for the young master, the girl is from an official eunuch's family, if you still plan to marry Yanzi, you have to condescend to ......"

"So, it's better to quit this family business." Zhu Yan's smile became brighter and brighter, but the extremely beautiful smile contained a trace of horror and weirdness in the sun, "Aunt Mei, you say, Zhu Yan's plan is still in line with your heart?" Does it fit Mrs. Zhou's mind? ”

Mei Niang also noticed that she was very different from the past, and hurriedly pounded the garlic and nodded, "Yanzi is really knowledgeable, and she can understand it at a glance, sister-in-law Xu, Zhu Siye will be happy if she knows everything!" ”

"Aunt Mei is quite interesting." Zhu Yan suddenly bent down and leaned in front of her, smiling like a blooming peach blossom.

Mei Niang only saw her pair of black and white eyes flickering in front of her, as if she could capture people's souls, and there was a beautiful and gloomy voice in her ears, "Auntie probably doesn't know, I was sick to death before, but I really saw my father, he said that I was with my mother, orphans and widows, I want to be stronger, I can't let my mother be bullied anymore, you say, isn't this like the truth?" ”

Xu Suzhen saw that she was deliberately scaring Mei Niang, and frowned at first, feeling that it was inappropriate, but when she heard her later mention Zhu Siye's instructions, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and looked at the distance in a daze.

Mei Niang was so frightened by her that her teeth trembled, and it took a while before she relieved herself, "That'...... Did Swallow agree to quit his family? Sister-in-law, you see? ”

As soon as his hand was cold, Zhu Yan had already stuffed a round bracelet in, but in front of him, he saw Zhu Yan's two slender fingers holding the small ring, swaying one after another.

"Auntie, let's take it, the same is given by the old lady, the same is given by the young lady of the Zhou family, a person with a low face, holding these things, will discount their value." Zhu Yan put down this sentence and entered the stove room without looking back.

Xu Suzhen still smiled, "Mei Niang, please go back, our mother and daughter haven't drunk porridge yet." ”

Mei Niang was stunned for a while, and finally came to her senses, spit hatefully under the tree, and scolded: "Isn't it just a little beautiful?" I think I'm really a noble lady, the more I look at it, the more evil it becomes, maybe it's a female monster turned into a fox spirit! ”

Inside the house, Zhu Yan silently drank the cold lotus leaf porridge, and didn't even eat pickles.

"Swallow, what are you doing with this kind of person? If you drink cold porridge, your body is not good, your illness is just right, 'three points of treatment and seven points of nourishment'. ”

Zhu Yan had finished drinking, picked up the bowl and sneered, "Mother, we don't have to be angry with them in the future, when our daughter earns a family business, let's move somewhere else." ”
