Chapter 154: Exaggerated acting
After being far away from the back garden, Zhang Suyi's fluttering heart quieted down a bit.
That old lady is really too suspicious, if it is an old lady with hair and cultivation, why is she wearing crimson clothes? The old ladies who practice in the temple are all dressed in gray or ochre yellow. And the old man next to her, looking at her eyes full of scrutiny, this is not like the look of people who meet in Pingshui.
The old lady in red obviously has someone around her, why do you need her to help?
Is it that as soon as she gets closer, she will be subdued?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she walked faster and faster, and went straight back to the Buddhist hall in front of her.
The queen mother was talking to the owner of the nunnery with a smile, and when she saw Zhang Suyi's footsteps hurriedly walking in, she hurriedly got up and asked.
Hey? Could it be that I didn't see Mrs. Qiu in the back garden? Or is Mrs. Qiu too serious and scared the girl back?
"Niangniang, there are villains in the back garden, please move back to the palace." Zhang Suyi blessed □ son and bowed deeply.
"What? Gangsters? Where did you know? "But the emperor and queen are not afraid of intrigues and tricks, but they are afraid of assassins who directly carry out assassination. When the strategy and soldiers came to flood the water, the Assassins could only defeat the weak with the strong.
Zhang Suyi told her about meeting two suspicious old ladies in the backyard, her words were full of caution, she had heard all kinds of stories since she was a child, and she had heard a lot about assassins, so it was natural that the analysis was reasonable, and if anyone involved listened, they had to go back to the palace quickly.
But when the queen and the owner of the nunnery heard half of it, they couldn't help laughing, at first they still smiled, then they turned into chuckles, and then their shoulders shook a little.
"!" Zhang Suyi said with a disapproving expression, "Even if you think my speculation is wrong, you shouldn't be so lax!" Your phoenix body is at ...... stake"
"Su Niang, I know that you mean well." Zhang Shaoguang touched the little girl's head, because she was in filial piety, so her hair was tied up with only a white hairband.
"That's one of my elders, and the one who came with her today is not a suspicious person. Maybe she likes you very much, so she wants to take the opportunity to talk to you. The expression on the corner of Zhang Shaoguang's mouth was very relaxed, "She is a guest I invited, you go to accompany her for your aunt, okay?" ”
Zhang Suyi blinked inexplicably.
Is there anything else she doesn't know about her elders? Her aunt's relatives are her family.
Oh yes, it must be an elder under His Majesty the Emperor.
The queen mother has been ill for a long time, and it is impossible to leave the palace, that is a certain concubine?
The concubine followed the queen out of the palace to worship the Buddha, did the queen mother and the emperor know the way? I guess I know the way.
"Su Niang obeys the will of Niang Niang." Zhang Suyi had no choice but to get up and return to the back garden.
In the backyard, Gu Qingzheng was frustrated by the medicine woman's pulse, and after learning that there was nothing wrong, the medicine woman gave her a few "Qi Regulating Pills" and left.
"Mama Hua, do you think I'm too scary?" Gu Qing covered her face and said uneasily, "Why did that little girl from the Zhang family run away as soon as she saw me?" ”
“…… I think the young lady saw that you were faking your illness. Mama Hua hesitated to speak.
After all, the old lady's acting skills are too exaggerated.
"I finally came out for a trip, and I bothered His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress to take care of it, but there was no one, should I sit in this garden all morning? What's the difference between that and me sitting in the house! Gu Qing was so frustrated that she even lowered her shoulders.
Zhang Suyi had actually arrived in the garden, and happened to hear Gu Qing's frustrated words in his ears. But for polite reasons, she was not far behind them, and did not make a bold noise.
When he heard Gu Qing's words, Zhang Suyi had an epiphany.
It turned out that this concubine was too lonely in the palace, and life in the palace was boring, so she got the permission of the emperor and queen to go out of the palace for a walk. As a result, because of the queen's arrival, there was no one to be seen inside or outside the entire nunnery, so the concubine was so depressed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Suyi sympathized with the old lady, quietly walked around from behind, and walked in front of the two old ladies with the girls.
"Two old people, just a little woman is rude, and I have come to make amends." Zhang Suyi saluted sincerely, "The little woman didn't know that the two were the guests of the queen's mother, so she regarded the two as suspicious people, sorry." ”
After speaking, he lowered his body.
"It's okay, it's okay, the little girl is very vigilant, that's a good thing." Gu Qing was already overjoyed to see her coming back again, who still cared what she thought of them just now.
Gu Qing picked up Zhang Suyi and said with a smile: "The girl accompanies me to walk around the garden?" ”
"Okay."
"What is the old lady called?" Zhang Suyi and Gu Qing walked side by side, asking with a natural attitude.
There are not many dignitaries and dignitaries in Da Chu's surname Qiu, Gu Qing did not report his surname, but said: "You call me Mrs. Li." ”
Mrs. Qiu's husband's surname is Li, and it is not wrong to call Mrs. Li.
There are several concubines surnamed Li in the harem, and Zhang Suyi doesn't recognize all of them, so she nodded kindly. "The little woman's surname is Zhang, and Mrs. Li just calls me Su Niang."
"You don't have to be a little girl to come to the little girl, I don't call myself old, and you don't call yourself a little girl, let's just match you and me?"
Gu Qing burst into tears when she heard the "little woman". A few years ago, she was also the age when she could call herself a "little woman", but now she can only call "old body".
Zhang Suyi was originally ordered by the queen to accompany this concubine, and she is an elder, so naturally she should do whatever the elders say.
After a few small talks, Gu Qing also got to know this little girl a little. Probably because the two of them are still unfamiliar, this little girl doesn't talk much, and she won't deliberately find something to make the atmosphere of the two more lively, Gu Qing likes such a steady little girl very much, and her tone is much more enthusiastic when talking to her.
"What do you do at home on weekdays?" Gu Qing asked her curiously.
"Help my mother with housekeeping, read books, and occasionally play the piano for recreation." Zhang Suyi paused for a while, and then said: "I can also do a little bit of needlework, but I don't learn well." ”
In fact, most of the time she spent at home was helping her mother settle accounts and read account books, her mother had a miscarriage for a year, and the small moon was not done, and then she was dizzy after reading books and numbers for a long time, so after that, she was to calculate the accounts and check the numbers. But it's not easy for an unmarried woman to bury her head in numbers, so she hides it.
Naturally, not to mention that all the books he reads are miscellaneous books, and playing the piano is also playing some strange tunes he hummed for the second uncle.
But last time, the water tune song head was still very good.
"You're a housekeeper, that's good." Gu Qing's mouth opened with a grin.
Great, Xiaopang will have someone to take care of in the future, and I won't need her to help anymore!
"That is, I can read a little bit of an account book and calculate some accounts or something."
"That's pretty remarkable." Gu Qing is sincerely admired, she has been studying for almost a year, and now she still has a headache about this knowledge. Her family has such a simple population and few accounts, what kind of family is the Zhang family? can help the housekeeper, this little girl is so capable.
"Do you like music?" Gu Qing was a little anxious. Her grandson has a weak foundation and doesn't know any musical instruments. Should she urge Chubby to learn some musical instrument? Playing the flute? ?
Don't let my daughter-in-law play the piano, he fell asleep.
"It's just a pastime."
It's really a pastime, but it's just a pastime for the second uncle to listen to the piano music she plays.
Gu Qing felt that this little girl's thing was at least E or above after passing many "no traces" visual inspection, given that there was no such thing as the kind of thing that modern women all wear, Gu Qing was very worried that Zhang Suyi, who had been wearing a belly pocket, would sag in the future.
But she really couldn't vaguely remind her to take care of that area, and she was anxious for her grandson.
There are few girls with such a figure in this era, not to mention that this plain dress is only fifteen years old, and there is more room for the future. She opened her mouth a few times, but she really felt that she didn't have the old face to remind her to pay attention to the problem of sagging, so she had to silently take a few more glances at the chest that was about to come out, and consider whether to make a batch of inner and inner out, draw an album or something for Li Rui to keep.
Zhang Suniang is not sluggish, this old lady Li always peeked at the part under her neck, and stopped talking several times, so she naturally noticed it.
She didn't know what she was for, and she looked different from other girls since she was a child.
When she was not yet grown, she was praised as "beautiful and graceful" among many girls in the world, but as she grew up day by day, her figure became more and more frivolous. Her mother said that this was not a bad thing, but she could also feel the strange eyes of others when she interacted with other people of the same generation.
Later, her second uncle told her some secret recipes, saying that she could lose weight, so she did it every day, but other places were slimmed down, only there, not only did she not get smaller, but she didn't look like a woman from a good family anymore.
She didn't dare to imagine what would have become of her if her second uncle hadn't told her how to lose weight. Is it possible to live in a wide robe and big sleeves every day?
In winter, it's okay, the clothes are worn a lot, and the looser ones are not obvious. It's really a shame in the summer, the clothes are light, and it's useless to wear more. This makes her like to wear black clothes the most, at least the black clothes are not plump.
Now even a strange old lady wants to talk about her figure, and it seems that she is really going to hide it.
There's no way to get hot, so let's wrap some strips of cloth and wear a coat in the future.
I don't know if Gu Qing wants to know that Lu Dao's own scrutiny will have such an impact on Zhang Suyi, and whether she will look at her "without a trace". Anyway, Gu Qing is 120,000 points satisfied with Zhang Suyi.
If you rate this girl, if you score ten out of ten points, Gu Qing's score is as follows:
The demeanor is very ten, the appearance is very ten, the figure is twelve points, the conversation is nine points (a little stuffy), the hobby is nine points (my grandson does not know the rhythm), about the inner beauty, because she really has no mind reading skills, and she has not invested in the ability to see the inside from the outside, so she can only regret it - she firmly believes that each other is born from the heart!
This girl must be very generous!
Gu Qing was very satisfied with Zhang Suyi, and in Zhang Suyi's opinion, this old lady had a familiar smile on her face from beginning to end, and she was also funny and polite, and she spoke very straightforwardly.
She inexplicably felt that she could get along well with this old lady. It's a pity that she is a concubine and can't leave the palace often.
Well, then again, this concubine and the second uncle have similar smiles......
Could it be that this concubine is lonely in the palace, and she is also a little hysterical?
Both parties have a good impression of each other, and a small garden is also talked and laughed at. Zhang Suyi has rarely gone out since she was twelve years old, and now she is in the filial piety period, and there are even fewer times when she can go out.
She cherishes every opportunity to go out, especially when she can meet some new people and see some new things.
When it came time to separate, Gu Qing was a little reluctant. But it was almost noon, and she had to go home.
Before leaving, Gu Qing took off the agarwood bracelet on his wrist and gave it to Zhang Suyi.
She came out to dress modestly and didn't wear any jewelry, and this bracelet was kept because it didn't make eyes. This was given to her by Li Rui after he came back from Liangzhou, saying that it could calm her nerves, she always carried it, and now she gave it to Zhang Suyi, which can be regarded as making the two children have some connection invisibly.
"This agarwood looks like it's not a short year, it's so valuable......" Zhang Suyi has been used to seeing this kind of rare thing since she was a child, but this old lady is such a valuable bracelet at hand, she is really embarrassed to accept it.
"It's okay, you take it, this thing was also given to me by someone else, it didn't cost anything." As soon as Gu Qing said this, Mama Hua rolled her eyes and coughed on the side.
People say that the old and the young, their wives are like children, once they get acquainted with people, people will go crazy, and they are very unstable when they talk.
How can there be a reason to give something to someone else, saying that it is someone else's gift?
Zhang Suyi didn't think that it was rude for this "Mrs. Li" to transfer things from others to her, in fact, in large families, good things have never been bought by themselves, most of them are filial piety from below or from above, or the accumulation of generations in the family.
Buying expensive things on a large scale will only end up with a reputation for extravagance and extravagance, and it is easy to be called a nouveau riche.
She saw that Mrs. Li was embarrassed to hold the bracelet, so she simply took the bracelet generously and put it on her wrist.
"Thank you old lady, I will take good care of it."
Gu Qing also grinned a bright smile.
On the way back, Gu Qing was happy, not only smiling, but also humming a messy tune in his mouth.
"You are the most beautiful cloud in the sky, let me ...... you with my chest"
Well, if you're not paying attention, you seem to have sung it wrong.
"Let me keep you with my heart......"
"Mrs. Tai seems to be very satisfied with this Miss Zhang?" Mama Hua was also relieved to see Mrs. Qiu laughing and laughing along the way.
The last time I saw Miss Lu came back, the old lady didn't sleep well for a few nights, and she was worried about Young Master Rui.
"I think this girl is very good, much better than Lu Jun, whether it is her appearance, figure or conversation." Gu Qing made no secret of his good impression of her, "What do you think, Mama Hua?" ”
"Zhang Suyi is very careful, friendly but vigilant. The main thing is that she is a good listener and can understand other people's ideas. There are too many people in this world who can observe words and feelings, but there are few people who know how to be quiet after observing words and feelings. ”
Mama Hua also thinks that this family business is good. Whether it is appearance, background or personality, Zhang Suyi is worthy of the identity of the daughter of the Zhang family. "If I see it right, this is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, just the opposite of Lu Jun."
"What do you mean by that? I think Lu Jun is also quite gentle on the outside, and if he can say those words to me, although he is a little reckless and rude, he can be regarded as strong in his heart, right? Gu Qing was curious about the meaning of Mama Hua's words.
"In the past, I saw all kinds of women in the palace, and I understood these little girls even better. Mrs. Tai, as long as she is confident, will not care about other people's opinions, nor will she always talk about her family and background. A person with a strong heart does not look at others, but only at himself. Although the young lady of the Lu family kept saying that it was for the future of the family, she actually cared about external factors. ”
She actually has a faint inferiority complex, so she wants to stand out more and more. This is not soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, but wide on the outside and taboo on the inside. It's not a good thing that the daughter's family has such a character. ”
"In my opinion, Sun Yanniang of the Squire of the Military Department, as well as the county lord of Wanning, because they are really generous and open-minded, will have a happy life in the future. And this girl from the Lu family, even she doesn't know what she wants, and she will naturally not be happy. ”
Gu Qing braved the stars to look at Mama Hua who said a lot of truth, and couldn't help but speak:
"Mama Hua, if the Fang family gave birth to a daughter this time, will I let her recognize you as a godgrandmother? I'll let her die for you, and you won't have to raise the child. ”
"How does this make me just a maid from a palace......
"You are much better than all the women in this world, not only can you do everything, but you are much better than me in understanding the world. I have limited vision, and I can't raise girls as casually as boys. It's a pity if you don't pass on your knowledge, I'm a bad old woman, half of it is called the soil, and it's good to be able to learn half of you. But your martial arts and other skills can be passed on to my granddaughter. You have a great kindness to my family, why can't my granddaughter be your godgranddaughter? ”
Mama Hua was also a little moved when she heard it. She is older than Mrs. Qiu, although her body is much tougher than Mrs. Qiu because of her martial arts, but if Mrs. Qiu dies in the future, she will become very embarrassed in the Xinguo Mansion.
After all, she has no deed, and she is not a servant, she is the old lady's guest, if the old lady goes before her, even if Li Guogong leaves her in the mansion to be raised, she will not have the face to stay.
But if she wanted to listen to Fang's instructions and continue to take care of the house, she really didn't want to give a hand to a housewife like Fang's.
Mama Hua pondered for a moment and left a sentence, "Let's talk about it in the future, it depends on whether the Duchess is a man or a woman in her belly." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it meant that I agreed. Gu Qing smiled faster, and even the air was fragrant to breathe.
The so-called righteous relatives, in ancient times, it is not as casual as in modern times, after getting married, in fact, it is no different from biological parents, especially if Mama Hua has no children, this relationship is even more intimate.
If the Fang clan really had a daughter and taught Mama Hua to upbring, even if she died the next moment, she could rest assured.
***
Fenzhou.
Outside Lingyuan City, in the newly built tent of the Qiang people, Li Jun met the biggest crisis in his history.
He looked around, and all his colleagues and officials had already fallen to the ground, and there was no one who could help.
Lord Zuo Shaoqing, who had a very poisonous mouth, was already pale, his eyes were closed, and he didn't move.
Several of the translators and Sibin, who looked very strong, were even more unknown.
Although there was also a fall on the other side, there were still many people standing on their side. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and it is not easy for him to hold on alone until now.
Li Jun cautiously looked at the group of people opposite, each of them looking at him with malicious eyes, ready to let him fall at any moment.
There is also a preliminary woman with eyes like lightning, and her eyes are becoming more and more ruthless when she looks at him.
Although he knew that the status of the women of the Dao Dao was very high, he did not know that the Dao was high enough to come out to meet outsiders. If he knew that there was a woman here who was going to fight with him, he would not have followed Lord Zuo Shaoqing with high spirits.
This...... How can this be?
Why don't you beg for mercy and stop in both sides? Someone has to bring back this corpse-strewn companion, right?
Thinking of this, Li Jun couldn't care about face, he put down the things in his hand, and said with some begging for mercy: "I am really grateful to be treated by you today. It's just that we've all drunk a little too much, why don't we drink another day? ”
The girl looked at him and lifted her lips lightly.
“*&*&(&&*…&……*&…………#… ¥%#%¥#! ~" (Why did you put the wine bowl down?) It would be a faux pas for us not to get drunk when we arrived at the place of the Karma! )
Li Junqian had been learning the language for less than two months, and the people he knew, such as Suluk and Lu Mo, were already drunk at his feet. He tried to listen, but all he heard was that the girl was talking about "drunk" or "wine bowl" or something.
This language barrier is really terrible.
Did she mean that you couldn't go back without drinking these people?
But he has drunk it for so long, and his stomach has swelled so badly, and he must go out to make it easier.
"Since the girl insists on asking me to accompany the wine, then I can only be respectful and obey my fate. It's just a convenience to go down to the next must, and come back later, okay? Li Jun's face was red, if it weren't for a girl here, he would have made a "shhhhh
He walked out with slightly drunken steps, but suddenly heard a burst of words behind him, and then someone pressed his shoulder.
“**&……&¥#%#!” (This big tent is for you to rest, how can you leave if you are not drunk!) )
Li Jun looked back, and suddenly his soul was gone, the rash crawled from his forehead to his neck, and the itching followed.
"Girl, please respect yourself!"
“*&*&*&……%¥!” (Oops!) Monster! )
The author has something to say: Li Jun's poor spring is coming.
Small Theatre:
Zhang Ying: I'm in a bad mood today, niece, play me a tune.
Su Niang: Second uncle, which song do you want to listen to?
Zhang Ying: Come on, I'm a banana, banana banana banana!
Su Niang (Huiqin): Second uncle, you have hysteria again.
