Chapter 014: Lunch Storm (I)
The old lady's words caused a thousand waves. The second lady smiled earnestly, but the fourth lady was a little anxious.
Su Xue froze and didn't say a word, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Su Xue looked back, slightly stunned.
Wearing a dark pink embroidered folded branch begonia flower collar jacket and a brocade dark flower hundred butterfly skirt, Qianqian approached with fine steps, blessed the old lady and the second wife, and shouted softly: "Grandmother, mother." ”
Su Xue was stunned for a while, this woman was really as gentle as water, compared with the flamboyant and pretentious fourth lady, it was simply a difference between cloud and mud.
Su Xue originally thought that this was the young lady of the big house, but later heard from the mouths of the old lady and the second wife that she was the second daughter of the second wife, that is, the sixth lady Jiang Wanyue from the second room.
The arrival of the sixth lady Jiang Wanyue did not interrupt the old lady and the second lady's discussion of the fourth lady's marriage, the old lady paused for a while, and then said: "Chen Minghuan, the master of the Chen family, is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he has been gentle and virtuous all his life, and the eldest son of the Chen family has also reached the age of marriage......
Su Xue listened dimly, her eyes were still on Miss Six's body, I don't know if it was her delusion, when the old lady was talking about the eldest son of the Chen family, Miss Six's face seemed to change. Although it was fleeting, Su Xue still clearly noticed the strangeness of Miss Six.
Miss Six is nervous?
When the old lady finished speaking, she suddenly stopped. The whole room was a little dignified, and Lian Suxue couldn't help but slow down her breathing, quietly waiting for the old lady's next step.
"Chen Gongzi was born in the Qingliu Yawang family, he knows books and etiquette, and Sister Xuan...... It's a good match! The old lady laughed.
Hearing the old lady's words, the second lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly nodded at the old lady, ignoring the anxiety of the fourth lady.
And Su Xue also caught the panic in Miss Six's eyes again, looked down, and found that Miss Six quickly hid her hands in her sleeves, and after a closer look, her hands were actually a little shaky.
Miss Six, what are you nervous about?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a somewhat sharp voice behind me: "This happy event is really one after another, Sister Xue'er's marriage hasn't been done yet, and Sister Xuan is also anxious to get married?" ”
There was no sarcasm in this tone, Su Xue was shocked, and looking back, it was the eldest lady and the second lady who walked in.
Su Xue looked at the unhappy look on the faces of the eldest lady and the second lady, and hurriedly turned her head and took a quick look at the second wife......
After all, the eldest wife has long been in love with the son of the Chen family, and even if the second wife has the support of the old lady, it is unreasonable. How does this end?
Although the eldest lady was angry, she did not dare to forget the etiquette, and respectfully called out to the old lady for her mother, and then entered the table.
Second Miss Jiang Yanyun's face was also extremely difficult to see, and she glared at the fourth lady beside the old lady hatefully, and snorted: "Why don't I know that the fourth sister also hates to marry like this?" ”
Su Xue was secretly surprised, she didn't expect that this second miss was also an unforgiving person, and she wanted to see what the fourth lady's expression would be when she heard this, but unexpectedly, the fourth miss also glanced at her.
Su Xue was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked away, but she was a little inexplicable in her heart. This gunpowder smoke has nothing to do with her, what do these four young ladies do with her?
It was only later that she learned the deep meaning of the fourth lady's eyes, because when it comes to hating to marry, the most hated of the young ladies in the Jiang Mansion is the third miss, otherwise she would not be cheeky enough to take over the Shen family's family affairs.
The fourth miss glanced at Su Xue, and then glanced at the second miss. In fact, for the Chen family, the fourth miss was unwilling, where could she withstand such sour words from the second lady? immediately chuckled and retorted: "Sister, I originally wanted to wait for the second sister, but the second sister and Lu have been for more than two years, but there is still no movement, I can't learn from the second sister to be so unkind, delay the fifth sister and the sixth sister, let them wait together, right?" ”
The second lady was choked back by the fourth miss, so she could only snort, and then looked at the eldest lady for help.
Miss Six, who had been silent, hurriedly smiled when she heard this: "What did the fourth sister say, I and the fifth sister haven't reached the ...... yet."
The fourth lady frowned suddenly, and glanced at the sixth miss as if she hated that iron could not become steel, thinking that now the people in the big house are about to ride to the head, how can the sixth miss be the girl in the second room, and she is her biological sister of the same father and mother, how can she be so unclever? didn't help her count the big houses together, but still dismantled her table here.
The fourth lady wanted to say something, but she heard the old lady cough, so she had to stop talking and didn't say anything more.
The old lady's cough finally eliminated the anger on the dinner table, she cleared her throat and said, "If you want to say that you are in a hurry, it is indeed the second girl who should be in a hurry." After a pause, he looked at the eldest lady again and asked, "Didn't you hear you say a few days ago that you were going to take the second girl to Beijing to see each other?" Whose son? ”
Before the eldest lady could speak, the second lady sitting next to her took the old lady's hand and shook it, and said nonchalantly: "Why did grandmother forget jì?" If you want to look at Yan Yun, you are the son of the Chen family......"
The old lady suddenly came to her senses, took the second lady's hand and nodded, "I just said how could I think of Chen Gongzi, it turned out that the second girl mentioned it to me before." Hey, the old woman is getting old and useless, and her memory has deteriorated. ”
The old lady only said that she had a bad memory, and did not deny it, the second lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, got closer, pulled the corner of the old lady's clothes and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, don't say anything like that, you are in good health, where will it be useless?" Yun'er and Chen Gongzi's affairs are still waiting for grandmother to make decisions for Yun'er. ”
The second lady's face suddenly darkened, and she turned to the side in displeasure, she really couldn't stand the second lady's behavior.
Although the fourth lady had a few words with the second miss before, when she heard that the object that the second miss wanted to look at was that Chen Gongzi, she suddenly felt relaxed.
The old lady heard the second lady call her grandmother affectionately, and she also laughed: "Sister Yun is a sweet mouth." It's not like your eldest sister who has been married and has a heavy temperament and doesn't like to talk. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Hey, your eldest sister is in a hurry to get married, and she has a lot of problems with me, an old woman, so she can't get out of bed and watch the big girl get married." Later, the disease was better, but your eldest sister complained about me, saying that I was partial to the second room. In fact, the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, where can there be any eccentricity? ”
The old lady said, looked at the eldest lady, and deliberately aggravated her tone and asked, "You say, am I really eccentric to the second room?" ”
The eldest lady's face turned pale with fright, and the old lady said this, but it was for her.
