17. Chapter 14
Huo Shijiu leaned lazily on the back of the chair, propped up with one hand, there was no joy or anger on his white face, and he looked at Jiang Yan with a noble face, "Just salute like this?" Didn't Grandma Sun teach you the rules, where did you learn? ”
His voice was low, warm and soft, and there was not the slightest hint of anger to be heard. However, it is this indistinguishable emotion, coupled with the momentum he inadvertently exudes, that makes people chill.
Mama Sun was most afraid of Huo Nineteen, and knelt down in a bluff, "My lord is angry, the slave and maid have been taught!" It's just ......" I wanted to blame Jiang Yu for all the mistakes, but I was afraid that she was the person at the top of Huo Shijiu's heart and offended him, so I swallowed the words later.
Cao Yu also hung his head on the side and pursed his lips.
Jiang Yu didn't seem to feel the oppression he exerted, couldn't see the sharpness in his eyes, and said slowly in a soft and crisp voice: "If adults like to see that, there should already be thirteen people in the house, so why bother with one more me?" ”
"Really? The three girls should not forget why they are standing here today. Gently reminded her of her intentions.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan stared at Huo Shijiu for a moment, and suddenly smiled, shining brightly: "Isn't it because adults like it?" ”
The fist hit the cotton, and it was useless to intimidate.
The tone that is neither soft nor hard, the unrespectful but also playful answer, is this feeling of about to fall below the bottom line but not broken, which makes people feel depressed and panicked, and she can't catch the mistake if she wants to send it......
It's tough.
Huo Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her carefully for the first time. He was indeed born beautiful, but he had seen a lot of beautiful women, but he had never seen her like this. She has a special pair of eyes, which may not be inappropriate when they are placed on the general who fought on the battlefield, and rests on her little girl...... Well, I don't think it's inappropriate. The picturesque plum has added strong branches to have wind bones, otherwise it is just a few ordinary reds.
"Jiang Shishi gave birth to a good daughter. If you are a man, I will take you under my command, and you will be a good son after a few years. ”
Is it ironic that she doesn't have the beautiful temperament of a woman nowadays?
Jiang Yu didn't hear it, and said with a generous smile: "Thank you for your appreciation." ”
Huo Shijiu asked leisurely: "What do you do on weekdays?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs."
"Don't adults know that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented?"
"In this way, you are more 'virtuous' than Miss Jiang?" Huo Nineteen sneered.
Jiang Yu said disappreliantly: "Thanks to the praise of the adults, my virtue has moved the adults." ”
Huo Nineteen's words were suffocated. "That's it, since these are not fine, it should always be good to feed the female red?"
"There is a shortage of cooks and needlework daughters-in-law in the adult's house?"
"It seems that the three girls really don't have many hobbies."
Jiang Yu said with a smile: "My lord's words are wrong, I also have things I like to do for entertainment, such as eating melon seeds." ”
Huo Nineteen was silent. Cao Yu and Grandma Sun's eyes widened.
The former's eyes flickered and he couldn't see joy or anger, while the latter two lowered their heads and endured the hard work of smiling.
"You don't seem to be afraid of me at all."
Jiang Yuqi said: "Do adults like to make people afraid of you?" ”
Huo Jiu suddenly felt that it was useless to quarrel with her, got up, walked to the door leisurely, and said lazily: "That's it, you have to learn the rules, you learn slowly, and your father has a few more scars." ”
When the words fell, he had already walked into the courtyard with Cao Yu one after the other.
Jiang Wei looked at his back, and only turned around for a long time and told Grandma Sun: "Go on." ”
"Yes!" Mama Sun continued the topic of Fang Cai.
And Huo Shijiu just left the courtyard door and smiled.
Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, his nervous mood finally relaxed, and he quipped softly: "Do adults enjoy the feeling of wanting to beat people but can't?" ”
"Do you mean her or me?"
"How dare I say my lordship."
Huo Jiu smiled: "Didn't you also mistake Grandma Sun's ability?" ”
Cao Yu's face turned red. It turned out that the adult had already known that he deliberately chose a difficult grandmother to teach Jiang Yu the rules.
At this moment, the two of them saw the figure of a girl disappear around the corner in a flash.
Huo Nineteen said: "That seems to be from the Miao family's house?" ”
"Yes, Aunt Miao should have seen the third girl just now. Xu has suffered some grievances, do you want to go and see it? ”
Huo Shijiu walked to the study and said lightly: "If that's the case, even if it's a grievance, there will be more grievances in the future." ”
Cao Yu was silent and kept up with Huo Shijiu's pace.
After Jiang Yu learned about some things in the house, she studied according to what Grandma Sun said. In her previous life, she had been trained in etiquette for going in and out of some occasions, and because of her training as a secret agent, she had mastered some shorthand skills, and she almost never forgot it. It was because of those cumbersome etiquette and trivial things in the house, and Grandma Sun said it once, and she knew it by heart.
However, if she wants to embarrass her to do it repeatedly, Jiang Yu will never do it.
It was Mama Sun who was happy for a while, thinking that she could finally take care of her, but after all, she was disappointed.
Lunch is four dishes and one soup. These days, because of my father's affairs at home, not only is the money tight, but I don't even have the heart to do the work on Sister Yin's stove, Jiang Yu is a lover of food, and I want it to be Huo Ying's family's things.
Originally, I couldn't sleep during the nap time, so I walked around in the Cuizhu Garden to enjoy the coolness.
When it was so leisurely, Cailian in the back house also went back to Aunt Miao's words.
“…… The adult went to see Miss Jiang San, and said something about the tea kung fu, and the adult seemed to be in a very good mood when he left. ”
Aunt Miao was playing cards with Aunt Zheng, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang at this time, and when she heard that she had no intention of playing, she sighed.
Aunt Zheng simply pushed the card and said angrily: "Then where is Jiang Sanniang?" I heard that she was a rude woman through and through, and I'm afraid that the servants in your house are better than her. It's not over the door yet, it's so charming...... Adults too, don't take care of our sisters, so you have to take care of Sister Miao, right? ”
Aunt Zheng's third uncle is Huo Nineteen's righteous son, although she is a concubine, she has a gorgeous appearance, and the family attaches great importance to it, the Huo family has never been short of them, and the Zheng family often hands over some silver money. Aunt Zheng is generous, and she has gained some prestige in the concubine's room after coming and going, and she is more bold in speaking.
Aunt Miao shook her head and said nothing.
Aunt Zhou was born as a dancing girl, and Aunt Wang's distant cousin is Huo Shijiu's righteous son, and the two are not as good as Aunt Zheng and inferior in status to Aunt Miao, so of course they echo it.
The originally lively card table became Jiang Wei's criticism meeting.
However, where does Jiang Yu care what people say about her? She did so for several days. Chen Zheng came, and Youchu returned home. She enjoyed the days of "relaxing", but it hurt Grandma Sun.
originally wanted to teach Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan caught her by her every day to set rules, and the fat on her stomach was boiled off.
Seeing that the sky was getting hot, when Jiang Yan was enjoying the cool and eating melon seeds under the eaves of the porch, Grandma Sun slipped out of the room on the pretext of going to the bucket and went straight to Huo Shijiu's study.
