Chapter 70: Sisters (2)
Zhenjiao's smile is sweet, maybe it's the relationship between the eyes, and the curved crescent moon always makes people feel kind when they look at it.
Zhen Xuan saw it in her eyes, and was about to nod her head in agreement, when she caught a glimpse of Old Lady Li's slightly pursed lips, she hurriedly said: "If I learn well, I will naturally teach you, if I don't learn well, won't I even be burdened by you." If you want to learn, of course the tea set of the fourth uncle and grandmother will be given to you, where can I receive it. ”
Seeing Zhen Xuan say this, Zhen Xuan's smile did not decrease, but she stopped talking.
Zhen has just come back, and there is no need to go to the clan study.
Zhen Xuan went alone, Zhen Lin Zhenqi saw her, and asked: "Qing'an Hall used to only live in your family, and there were not many things, but this time the second room was temporarily lived, and my grandmother said that if there are not enough things, just speak." ”
"There's nothing that doesn't come cheap." Zhen Xuan answered, she thought about Mrs. Li's pursed lips in her mind, but she couldn't think of a reason.
When he came back from the clan study, Zhen Xuan found that Zhen Xuan was not there, and asked Tao Aya to know that he had gone to the long room.
"Miss Nine stewed soup in the kitchen in the morning, filled some and took it to Qingrong Hall, saying that it was going to be sent to the sixteenth master and wife."
Zhen Xuan's soup is indeed well stewed, and Zhen Xuan drank a bowl at noon, which is an excellent warm-up soup in this early winter.
For the next few days, there was a bowl of soup at noon every day.
Zhen Xuan was curious to go into the kitchen to look, only to find that there was more than one pot prepared there. Zhen Jue's cheeks were slightly red from his busy work, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his sideburns.
"So much?" Zhen Xuan was surprised, "We have few people here, but it's hard for you to be busy with this and that alone, where did the cook go, why didn't she help you?" ”
Seeing her coming, Zhen Jue smiled and said, "She has to prepare a lunch meal." I'll make a soup and let her go to the small room to handle the ingredients first. These soups. It was the first time I sent soup to my lord and wife, and I happened to meet my aunt. My aunt said it smelled good, so I gave her some. My aunt told me the next day that my aunt and uncle liked the soup very much, and I thought that I would always stew it, so I would just stew more for my grandmothers, aunts, and sisters. ”
Zhen Jue was also stunned when she heard this, and when Zhen Jue called the other elders in the family, she was no different from a few sisters, but when she mentioned her father and mother-in-law. It was the lord and the wife who shouted, so it can be seen that they are not close to them.
"That's right, Seventh Sister." Zhen Xuan didn't notice Zhen Xuan's distraction, and said. "I went to Qingrong Hall yesterday. I heard Aunt Li say that half a month younger will be the tenth birthday of the sixth sister. ”
Zhen Xuan blinked and responded. Although their sisters were close before, she never asked about their birthdays, these days Mo Yan doesn't know what to say, but Xiao Zhenxuan should know, she went to ask, but it seemed weird.
Now that Zhen has brought it up. Zhen Xuan followed: "Have you seen the sixth sister?" She had been sick some time ago, and she didn't go with us when she went to the palace as a guest. I've been to see her a few times. I just look a lot thinner than before. ”
Zhenjiao's smile deepened, and she said, "I don't know the way to Qingfutang, I haven't seen her." Seventh sister, when are you free, take me once. In addition to meeting the sixth sister, I also met with other elders, so as not to neglect the etiquette. ”
Thinking of the elders in Qingfu Hall, Zhen Xuan sighed secretly in her heart, the sixth master and the Zhou family are cordial, although the Liu family doesn't love the council, but it is always okay to invite a person in the past, but the third old lady and the old lady Jia, Zhen Xuan himself is not willing to go.
"Uncle Sixth is very busy on weekdays, and I rarely see him when I go to Qingfutang. The sixth aunt and the sixth sister are all there, but the sixth sister has a cold temperament and doesn't talk much, but her heart is very good. The third aunt is happy, we will leave after we ask for peace. Zhen Xuan paused here before she said, "The third uncle and grandmother have been in a bad mood recently, so let's not make her angry." ”
After Zhen Xuan finished speaking, she glanced at Zhen Yao cautiously, worried that she would ask, and saw that Zhen Yao just smiled and responded, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Sixth Sister is about to have her birthday, I don't know what to prepare for Lu Dao?" ”
"I think it's still important to have a heart, it's my own sisters in the end, and it's distant, when it's well prepared." Zhen said.
"Just like you said." Zhen Xuan also thought the same way, looked at Zhen Xuan, and then asked, "When is the birthday of the ninth sister?" ”
Zhen Jue listened to Zhen Xuan's words, her smile darkened, she turned her head, but her voice was a little sad: "I don't like birthdays, I ......" Zhen Jue's words rushed out of her mouth and swallowed them back, half loud, before she said in a muffled voice, "She just didn't have that day." ”
Zhen Xuan already knew that she had said the wrong thing, Zhen Xuan lowered her head, and she couldn't see her face, but just by listening to the voice, she knew that she was sad. The most worrying thing is that for the woman who gave birth to her, she can't call her mother, nor her aunt, she can only be "her".
Thinking of this, Zhen Xuan couldn't help but feel sad: "Ninth sister, it's my fault, I'm sorry." ”
"Look at what you said, that's what it is, what does it have to do with you."
Although Zhen Xuan was smiling, Zhen Xuan always felt that the smile was very reluctant, and her heart was even more uneasy.
"It's the seventh sister, has the sixth sister been sick for a long time? I want to stew some tonic soup for her, but I don't know what she's suitable for. ”
Zhen Xuan started another topic, which made Zhen Xuan feel a little relieved, and followed her words, "I've been sick for almost a month." At first, it got hot, and then it subsided, but he kept coughing, and he was afraid that he would give others his illness too much, so he kept raising it. ”
"No matter how cold you are, it's boring to stay alone for a long time. What's more, several sisters went out as guests, leaving her alone. Zhen Jue gently flicked the charcoal fire in the stove and said casually.
"yes." Zhen Xuan was just about to open her mouth to mention the affairs of the palace, but a thought crossed her mind, so fast that she couldn't grasp it, she tilted her head sideways and thought about it carefully, there was something vaguely wrong, but the conversation just now was so natural, there were doubts in her heart, and she naturally didn't mention it, "I hope it will be fine when it comes to her birthday." ”
Zhen Jue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, and her smile was just right, revealing a bit of gentleness and submissiveness: "If that's the case, it's great." ”
Zhen Xuan had something in mind, so she found an excuse to retreat from the kitchen, and when she used the soup at noon, she couldn't taste a taste.
Maybe it's because I'm too careful, so natural conversation. It was normal to go around to the palace after the last round, but when I remembered the old lady Li's tightly pursed lips that day. Zhen Xuan is a little unsteady.
On the second day, in the genealogy, I happened to hear Zhen Lin mention Zhen Jue.
"The ninth sister brings soup every day, and we are all a little embarrassed. Grandmother and mother like her very much, but it's just ......" Zhen Lin sighed, "It's the sixteenth uncle, I heard the maids say that every time the ninth sister passes, there are always a few cold words." ”
Zhenqi also knew about this, and said, "Our awkward tenth sister. When she looked at her ninth sister, she was also kind. Uncle Sixteen treated us very well, but when I saw the ninth sister, I stretched my face. ”
"There's no way around that. No matter how generous the sixteenth uncle is. The ninth sister is always a thorn in her heart, even if she speaks coldly, it is also common sense. "There's no way the Zhang family likes Zhenjiao. No matter how careful and intimate Zhen Xuan is, it is useless, thinking of this, Zhen Xuan is also a little unbearable, the child who lacks his mother is compensated by others. is always lonely, "Fortunately, the fourth uncle and grandmother really feel sorry for her." ”
Talking here. Zhenhuan hurriedly ran over, with trepidation and uneasiness on his face, looking at his sisters crampedly.
Zhen Qi was about to laugh a few words when she opened her mouth, but was stopped by Zhen Lin.
Zhen Lin knew that this sister-in-law, if something happened to her, Zhen Huan would not have shown such an expression anyway, and she was not close to them on weekdays, so she was in such a hurry to find them, it must be a matter of urgency: "Tenth sister, what's wrong?" Don't rush yet, speak slowly. ”
Zhenhuan opened her mouth, she wanted to say but didn't know what to say, her face turned white, she pinched herself hard, her eyes were red, and said: "The eleventh brother and the thirteenth brother fell and were injured, it seems to be very bad." After saying that, he burst into tears.
Zhen Xuan panicked when she heard this, she stood up suddenly, pressed Zhen Huan's shoulder, and said hurriedly: "Tenth sister, what's the matter?" "It's about Zhen Heng, who is the only male in their five rooms, thinking of her well-behaved brother, she is so anxious that tears are about to fall.
Zhenhuan was pressed by Zhen Xuan, and he was also a little stupid, crying and saying at the same time, and finally made it clear.
Mr. had something to do today, the boys' classes ended earlier than usual, Zhen Heng wanted to go to see Zhen Xun, so he followed a few brothers to Qingrong Hall.
Zhende and Zhenhui wanted to sneak out of the city to play, but they happened to be bumped into by Zhen Heng and Zhen Xun who were playing in the garden, and they wanted to follow. Zhen Heng and Zhen Xun chased after him, and one was careless, and he fell down from the rockery one after another.
As if a bucket of ice water was poured from her head, Zhen Xuan felt chills all over her body, and fell down the rockery, and the two children who were so young fell not lightly.
Zhen Xuan staggered two steps, pushed away the Zhen ring and was about to run out.
Zhen Lin saw that her face was wrong, and hurriedly stopped: "We have a car, let's take the car back now, it's not faster than you." After saying that, he didn't pack his things, called the maid to prepare the car, and the four sisters got into the car and rushed all the way to Qingrong Hall.
Zhen Xuan's face turned white, her whole body trembled a little, and the sound of the car was like thunder, shocking her heart.
Zhen Lin hugged her, and she didn't know what to comfort, but her eyes were red, and she secretly scolded Zhende and Zhenhui in her heart, so uneasy.
After a while, Zhen Xuan slowly settled down a little, and asked Zhen Huan, "Do my grandmother and mother know the way?" ”
Zhenhuan's tears were like beads, they didn't stop, and they couldn't catch their breath until now, and when they heard Zhen Xuan's words, they said slowly, word by word: "I also came to tell me from the maid, there should be someone in the fifth room who passed the word in the past, and I don't know the specifics." I don't know how Lu Dao can be like this, the eighth brother and the ninth brother are naughty, but they haven't been like this, and, moreover, it's ......"
What is Zhenhuan anxious about, Zhen Xuan is very clear, this matter is caused by Zhende and Zhenhui, but it can be punished, it must be the worst Zhenhui, just because Zhende is a son-in-law, and Zhenhui is an elder brother. Aunt Chen was grounded, and I don't know when Lu Dao will come out, if Zhenhui is punished again, Zhenhuan will really be alone.
Zhen Xuan didn't have the extra energy to take care of Zhen Huan's mood, her mind was on Zhen Heng, if Zhen Heng had anything to do, she couldn't imagine it.
The carriage stopped, and Zhen Xuan didn't have time to wait for her mother-in-law to put her feet, so she lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.
