Chapter 279: Grandmother's Migraine
The prince walked out so cleanly, and went to the study for a walk before leaving.
Because it was not early, Mr. had already finished teaching and left first, so after the two stepped into the study together, all they saw was Su Ziyan who was sitting behind the small desk rubbing his little arms and wrists.
I wanted to put away the books, papers, and pens on the table to end today's class, but I heard two strings of footsteps in the room, Su Ziyan looked up, and after seeing the person, his clear eyes were shining.
He first got up and walked towards the two, first respectfully greeting, and finally raised his head with a hint of joy and said, "Brother-in-law, where have you been these days?" How did you come back? β
Ling Shubai avoided talking about it, and only said lightly: "I have something to do, and I haven't dealt with it yet, I'm afraid it will be a long time before I can teach you in person; Listen to your sister more and don't let her worry, okay? β
Su Ziyan's eyes lit up and he was about to reply, but Ling Shubai added, "...... Otherwise, when I get back, I'll beat you. β
Su Ziyan: "......"
Su Nianyu almost laughed out loud when she heard it, and hurriedly pulled her younger brother to her side, "What are you doing to scare him?" Do you still look like a gentleman? β
Ling Shubai said: "Anyway, I'm not a gentleman, why do I have to look like a gentleman?" β
After a few more simple explanations, Ling Shubai's tall figure really disappeared.
And at this time, the maid dared to step forward and ask, "Big girl, little master, are you going to have dinner now?" β
Su Nianyu then remembered that the prince had just woken up and had not had dinner; I wanted to send people out and bring them back. Looking back, if the son of the world went to find his father. My father entertained himself, so he gave up.
But Su Ziyan studied all day. His physical strength was exhausted, and he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, so he heard him say pitifully: "Sister, I'm hungry." β
Su Nianyu was busy and asked people to put the dinner up, the sister and brother sat down and began to eat, Su Ziyan was small, but the speed of eating was not slow, Su Nianyu saw it and persuaded directly: "Brother Yan, you have to eat slowly." Chew the food and swallow it, but don't laugh at the time and cry out the pain in your stomach! β
Su Ziyan responded, but really slowed down; Glimpsing that he ate so many things regularly, he couldn't help but say again: "Brother Yan, when you are still growing your body, remember not to be picky eaters in order to grow strong." β
When Su Ziyan heard this, he stopped eating, and his face was a little embarrassed. He blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't it true that if I eat too much, I will be able to grow taller and stronger?" β
Su Nianyu took a chopstick of green vegetables and put them in his bowl, "Who told you?" Eating more is more likely to gain weight. β
Su Ziyan's expression collapsed, and his eyes widened. "I thought I would get stronger by eating too much, but I just gained weight."
Su Nianyu didn't correct him with a smile, but kept putting all kinds of vegetables in his bowl. Yuan Xiang, who was waiting on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and leaned into her ear and said in her ear by serving her soup: "Girl." Look at what you said scared the little young master, maybe he lost his appetite for fear of gaining weight; If that's the case. The girl's problem of wanting the little master not to be picky eaters not only can't be changed, but the gains outweigh the losses anyway! β
Su Nianyu thought about it like this, and felt that it made sense, and hurriedly smiled at the little man who was alone in melancholy, "...... However, if you don't eat much, you won't be able to grow well; You have to eat a lot and not be picky, and you have to exercise frequently to be in good health. β
Su Ziyan's eyes finally lit up, "Really? β
Su Nianyu chuckled and nodded.
Su Ziyan continued to eat with chopsticks, looking at the green vegetables piled up in the bowl, his little brows were wrinkled; But he didn't pick them out, but the movement of putting them in his mouth was a little slower, and he ate a little slower, and it took a long time to swallow a few bites.
Su Nianyu looked at it, and felt that he seemed to be in a hurry, so he couldn't necessarily get the effect by rushing the duck to the shelves, so he hurriedly sandwiched a piece of duck meat on his plate, "Picky eaters are not so easy to correct, you can eat a few bites of green vegetables today, eat more tomorrow, continue to insist on it the day after tomorrow, and it will slowly get better." β
Su Ziyan took a mouthful of green vegetables in his mouth and nodded very seriously.
Probably because both of them were hungry, after a meal, the dishes on the table were almost finished, especially Su Ziyan, whose originally thin little belly was also supported.
For this reason, Su Nianyu had to take him outside with a blushing face; When he had felt better, he sent him back to the courtyard and went back himself.
Before going to bed, she looked at the bright and clear moon hanging in the sky, and asked deliberately: "Can the prince go back?" β
Yuan Xiang helped her take off her coat and shook her head, "Not yet, it is said that the dinner of the prince and the master is also used directly in the study, from dusk to late at night, I haven't seen the two come out, and I don't know what the two have talked about." β
Naturally, it is impossible to know what they talked about, but the two were able to talk from dusk until late at night, which shows that they must be discussing something very important.
When I opened my eyes the next day, it was already dawn.
Su Nianyu went to visit her grandmother in Ningrong Courtyard as usual, and before she entered the house, she heard a string of coughing sounds, accompanied by Zhao's mother's anxious words: "...... The old lady should not take it too seriously, the girl of the Pan family is gone, and Mrs. Pan is naturally in a very bad mood, plus she is originally hot, not aimed at you. β
After asking the reason, I found out that yesterday my grandmother kindly went to Pan's Mansion to offer condolences, but she was almost driven out directly by Mrs. Pan, if it wasn't for Master Pan's timely coming out to drink, I'm afraid that the discord between Pan's Mansion and Su's Mansion would have spread all over the capital.
Su Nianyu also stepped forward to comfort: "Mother Zhao is right, now that the Pan Mansion is an extraordinary period, Mrs. Pan is just too heartbroken for a while and lost her mind, grandmother, don't worry about her." β
Mrs. Su's face was very bad, thinking of the incident of being driven away yesterday, her face was cold from beginning to end, "The girl of the Pan family died at a young age, and as a parent, she naturally can't help herself, this is not incomprehensible to the old woman." The bad is the bad. I had just met Mrs. Pan, and she pounced on her with the eyes of her enemies. As if I had lost my soul, I said that I had come to see the joke. Su Fu is not satisfied with this result, etc.; The most outrageous thing is that in front of so many maids and wives in Pan's Mansion and some old men and ladies who came to mourn, they said that his girl was killed by us...... It's so unbelievable! β
Mrs. Su was so angry that she couldn't stop wiping the tears that came out of her anger.
"Fortunately, Master Pan is a reasonable person and has said a lot of apologies, but I can't reason in someone's house at this moment, so I can only hold my breath and go home; But when I think about it, I always feel that it is not comfortable enough! Their girls are gone, and we feel sorry for them. How can you put a pot of on our heads like this? I've lived most of my life, and it's the first time I've met such a shameless person! β
Mother Zhao wanted to continue to persuade again, but was stopped by Su Nianyu.
Grandmother is still angry, and comforting her is useless, she has to make her whine and relieve her mood, so that she can barely lose her anger.
Su Nianyu sat with her grandmother like this for a while, listening to her talk from the time she entered the Pan Mansion to the time she came back from the Pan Mansion, chattering. It was the first time I had seen my grandmother who had spoken so much; I occasionally insert a sentence or two to help unravel it.
In between, Mother Zhao silently added tea four times, and Mrs. Su felt better.
"It feels so much better to talk to you like this; But you're only a fourteen-year-old girl after all. I can't really understand my grandmother's feelings. β
After slowly taking a sip of tea, he suddenly remembered the matter and said solemnly: "Speaking of which." In a few days it will be your fifteenth birthday, and you will have to celebrate it on that day. I thought about how about Zhengbin invite your grandmother? The praiser temporarily set Wang Xuan, the girl of the Wang family. and selected a few well-known ladies to come to watch the ceremony; As for the deacons, the deacons, and the musicians, I have also listed a few handsome girls. Now it's all written down on a piece of paper, you wait, I'll ask Mother Zhao to bring it to you to see. β
With that, he sent Zhao's mother to the back room.
Su Nianyu smiled: "It's up to you to decide everything, grandmother, as you said, I'm just a fourteen-year-old girl, what do I know?" β
Old Madam Su nodded, "Don't worry, it's almost inseparable, you are still the fiancΓ©e of the Marquis of Lingwei now, even if you want to invite a princess to come over for a walk, it is estimated that it will not be difficult." β
Su Nianyu smiled and didn't speak.
Mother Zhao quickly came out with a few pieces of red paper and handed them directly into Su Nianyu's hands.
Su Nianyu didn't refuse, and took it generously.
Although it was said that everything was decided by my grandmother before, I had to look at who would come and have a bottom in my heart.
Mrs. Su put the teacup on the table next to her and helped explain: "This list is only preliminarily set by me, if there is anything that is not suitable, there is still time to add and supplement." As for your grandmother as a guest, I mentioned it to her, and she was very happy, and suggested that the third girl of the Dong Mansion be a deacon, so that she could practice her hands and gain a long experience, but I did not agree immediately. I'm also afraid that if you already have a candidate in your heart, I'm making my own opinion, but I'm going to do bad things with good intentions. β
Su Nianyu pursed her lips and smiled, took the pen in Zhao's mother's hand, and put a small tick under a name on the paper, "Then it's troublesome for Cousin Qiurong." β
I also took a brief look at the ladies who watched the ceremony, and they really all had good reputations.
She put the red paper away and handed it back to Zhao's mother, "It's still grandmother who thinks about it thoroughly, and when my granddaughter looks at that list, she is really a little flattered." β
Old Madam Su had a smile on her face, and it happened that Mother Zhao presented her the list of participants who Su Nianyu had just touched the pen to, so she naturally picked it up and looked at it, "Didn't I say, which families in this capital dare to say that they are better than the girls in our Su Mansion?" You have to be good-looking, virtuous, and clear, it's gone, it's really gone, otherwise the son of the world won't be ...... at a glance"
Old Madam Su's words were very smooth, if she didn't really think so in her heart, it would be impossible to say so naturally, even Su Nianyu was a little surprised.
Isn't it himself who makes the prince fall in love at a glance?
Although I knew that my grandmother didn't want to see her because she had pimples in her heart for many years, I didn't expect that I was so good in my grandmother's heart.
Old Madam Su also seemed to realize that she was speaking too smoothly, so she pursed her lips after a pause, took the tea cup and gently brushed the tea foam with the tea lid, and drank it slowly, as if she hadn't said anything herself.
The grandfather and grandson sat and talked again, and Su Nianyu got up to say goodbye.
After going to Shuangxi Garden for a turn, she decided to go to Wang's Mansion to see Wang Xuan, and I don't know how sad she will be after learning the news that Pan Jingruo is gone; Listening to her grandmother talk like that, even if she wanted to give Pan Jingruo incense, she was afraid that it would not work, but Wang Xuan was there, and she could go and accompany her.
Su Nianyu said that he would leave, and after half an hour, he was welcomed into Wang Xuan's courtyard.
Probably because of the white affairs of Panfu, Wang Xuan, who was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, was dressed in plain clothes, and even the jewelry on his head was very simple, and he only had a plum blossom golden hairpin pinned to his bun.
The place where Wang Xuan is located is a good place, with layers of maple leaves on the top, thick shade below, and a light breeze blowing from time to time, and he doesn't feel hot.
Wang Xuan glanced at her and said, "Nianyu, you're here, come and sit here." β
Su Nian walked over and observed her close friend, except that her face was paler, her spirit was a little weaker, and her eyes were red, but she was not as grief-stricken as she imagined.
But the comforting words are just wanting, "Regarding Pan Jingruo's matter, you should mourn and change." β
Su Nianyu thought that when she mentioned her name, Wang Xuan was bound to cry hard, but she didn't want to, Wang Xuan just responded very calmly, so that Su Nianyu, who originally came to the door with a comforting mind, didn't know what to say for a while.
Wang Xuan seemed to see through what she was thinking at the moment, and said, "Do you think my reaction is too calm?" β
Su Nianyu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
I saw Wang Xuan fanning the fan in his hand, staring at a red maple leaf falling on the ground, "Jingruo didn't come over, I was naturally sad, but watching her live so painfully, forcing her to smile, feeding her whatever she wanted, no matter how tired she was, she couldn't close her eyes, I felt that she seemed to be alive but her heart was already dead; It's better to close her eyes quietly and forever like now, which is not a relief for her. β
Su Nianyu was stunned for a moment, "But I heard that she is much better behind, how can she ......?"
Wang Xuan shook his head very affirmatively, "No, I go to see her almost every day, her body is only getting worse and worse, how can I say that it is getting better?" β
Su Nianyu pursed her lips and said nothing, but her expression looked much more rigorous and solemn. (To be continued......)
