Chapter 3: Sincerity and Falsehood

"In the past, my granddaughter was not good, and after listening to people's words, I always felt that my grandmother loved my second sister and third sister more than me, and I was too sad, so I ......" Shu Manyao saw the surprise on the old lady's face, and hurriedly explained with a smile, and was a little embarrassed, so he didn't say the rest, paused and continued: "But this disease, lying on the bed and unable to move, I remembered the previous things, the granddaughter was born without a mother, if it wasn't for the old lady to take care of it, I'm afraid it would be ......"

Shu Manyao's eyes turned red, but the old lady didn't speak, only reached out and took the teacup on the kang table.

"I remember that when I was five years old, somehow I fell into a pond, and my grandmother was so angry that she sent someone to fill in the pond and stayed by my side all night, waiting for me to wake up the next day before going back to rest. And when I was seven years old, because I was ignorant, I led the maid to be naughty in the garden, and I was frightened by the wild cats that came out, and it was my grandmother who held me and shouted for a day......"

The old lady who said also sighed, she was also from a famous family, how could she not know the twists and turns in this? If it weren't for the fact that this granddaughter had had too many accidents, how could she have brought people to her yard?

"Grandmother, granddaughter knows it's wrong, and she won't do it again." Shu Manyao's eyes were red, he reached out and hugged the old lady's neck, and buried his head on the old lady's back.

Shu Manyao really regretted it, the old lady was the most serious in the past, and rarely smiled, but when facing the eldest young master, she was the most kind, and she often smiled from ear to ear. Shu Manyao felt that the old lady was biased to the point of squeaking, and she valued the children born to the woman the most, and she was just dispensable.

However, just when she went against her father's wishes and eloped with the beast, but Zuihou was caught by the clan and wanted to dip in the pig cage, it was her grandmother who went to the ancestral shrine tremblingly and saved her life with all her own marriage.

When she was forced to leave the country due to the pressure of the clan, it was her grandmother who took out the only remaining private house and sent the most useful maid by her side to escort her to Jiangnan.

In her last life, how could she feel that her grandmother didn't love her?

After crying for a while, the old lady sighed and stretched out her hand to pull Shu Manyao in front of her: "You kid, why do you have so many tears?" Have you been wronged by anything today? ”

Shu Manyao shook her head and covered her face a little embarrassed: "Grandmother, your clothes are wet, and your granddaughter is waiting for you to change doctors?" I remember that my grandmother had an autumn-colored dress, which was very beautiful, and my grandmother was very imposing when she wore it. ”

The old lady nodded, helped Shu Manyao's hand to get up, Jin Ling hurried over, and wanted to squeeze Shu Manyao away quietly, but Shu Manyao held the old lady's arm, and her body was attached to the old lady.

Jin Ling didn't dare to do it too obviously, so she had to help the old lady's other hand: "Big girl, you just tell the slave to do such things." ”

Shu Manyao glanced at her, shook his head with a smile, and said jokingly: "How can you tell others to do this kind of filial piety?" Sister Jin Ling, I will honor my grandmother well in the future, I have to start with small things, and I will definitely have to rob Sister Jin Ling of more errands in the future, and I hope that Sister Jin Ling will be convenient. ”

The old lady smiled and did not speak.

When she arrived at the inner room, Jin Ling hurriedly found out the autumn-colored clothes, saw that Shu Manyao stretched out her hand, and hurriedly smiled: "Big girl, let's let the slave come, your filial piety, the old lady must know, this dress is more cumbersome to wear, and it is not the same as your clothes, I am afraid you will not be used to it." ”

The old lady's clothes are mostly the kind of buckle clothes, while the clothes of young girls like Shu Manyao are mostly oblique, with ties inside, or the kind with belts on the outside.

Shu Manyao smiled and shook her head, her face was slightly red, she was very embarrassed, and her voice became a little lower: "I'm not afraid of grandmother's jokes, although my granddaughter was very sad before, my grandmother didn't love her granddaughter the most, but my granddaughter secretly was still very eager to serve her grandmother, so she carried people behind her back and secretly practiced how to serve her grandmother, and her granddaughter would also wear this clothes." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, and motioned for Jin Ling to hand the clothes to Shu Manyao: "Then you can try it today." ”

Shu Manyao happily put his clothes aside, half-knelt in front of the old lady, and reached out to unbutton the old lady's clothes. She said that she had practiced before, which is true, but these were all practiced in her previous life.

After she followed the beast to Jiangnan, the beast tried his best to cheat all the money in her hand, the man was a person who could only spend money and not make money, and it didn't take long for the two to be poor.

Shu Manyao had no choice but to become a female celebrity to support her family, but she didn't have embroidery threads, so she had to find another way. Fortunately, she has a good hand, and there are some similarities with the disc buckle, and after the plate is finished, it is natural to tie it up and untie it and check it again, and this job is practiced at that time.

After changing the clothes on the old lady's body in three or two times, Shu Manyao took the clean clothes again and put them on for the old lady, the movements of his hands were gentle and very fast: "Grandmother, hurry up with your granddaughter, you won't be afraid of catching a cold." ”

The old lady's eyes flashed with relief, and she touched Shu Manyao's hair: "You girl, you have a heart." If you want to be filial in the future, just come generously and be practiced in private, you are the eldest daughter of my Shu family, and you must be fair and honest in everything you do. ”

Shu Manyao's eyebrows were crooked, and she leaned next to the old lady and nodded: "Yes, I listen to my grandmother, so will I stay and serve my grandmother for lunch today?" ”

In the past, Shu Manyao was timid and shy, even if she ate in front of the old lady, she was also trembling, and she didn't even dare to clip the dishes, the old lady didn't like it, and she was afraid that she would be hungry, so she simply let her use it in her own yard.

Hearing Shu Manyao put it forward at this time, the old lady hesitated a little, and Shu Manyao hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly: "Grandmother, granddaughter knows that it is wrong, so let your granddaughter stay and serve you." ”

The old lady looked at Shu Manyao's still a little pale face, and finally couldn't bear to refuse, so she responded: "That's good, it's just that if you don't have a good appetite, you still have to go back and rest as soon as possible." ”

Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly, helped the old lady to the outer room, and sat down on the couch again. The old lady took out the album from before. Shu Manyao didn't see it too clearly just now, but now he saw it, it was a biography of a daughter.

"Grandmother, granddaughter thumping your back?" Seeing that the old lady was going to read a book again, Shu Manyao hurriedly asked: "My granddaughter secretly learned the massage method before, and my grandmother must be very tired after reading a book for so long, so my granddaughter will give you a beating?" ”

The old lady nodded, Shu Manyao knelt behind the old lady and was busy, kneading and pinching, and beating twice, the old lady pursed her lips, although it was a little uncomfortable at first, this hammer has been done many times, and the strength is really good.

Jin Ling looked at the grandparents and grandchildren on the soft couch, although the two of them did not speak, and they did not even make eye contact, but they looked a little warm. The old lady is so serious on weekdays, and the expression on her face has softened a lot now.

After standing for a while, Jin Ling went out and called a little maid over: "Go, tell the small kitchen, the big girl's lunch will be delivered to the old lady today." After a pause, he lowered his voice: "Go to Changchun Hall and say it." ”

The little girl looked smartly left and right, nodded, and jumped to the back.

Jin Ling frowned slightly, and looked indoors again. I don't know what the eldest girl is talking about, the old lady frowned slightly at this time, listened sideways, listened for a while, smiled and raised her hand to poke the eldest girl's forehead. The old lady laughs a lot these days.

The big girl is very different from the past today, is it possible, is it really enlightened?

Thinking about it, Jin Ling's heart shrank a little, she had just offended the eldest girl this morning, not to mention, it was not that she had not done these things before, if the eldest girl really changed her temperament, even if she didn't please the old lady, the old lady would never let people abuse the big girl.

Jin Ling stepped back, stuck to the door, listened to it for a long time, and didn't hear the eldest girl's complaint, and the anxiety in her heart was less.

Even if the big girl sues, she is not unreasonable.

comforted herself a few words, and Jin Ling's little weakness and apprehension completely dissipated.

After waiting for a while, I saw that Mrs. Xu led the second girl and the third girl over, so I hurriedly greeted her: "Say hello to Mrs., the second girl is good, the third girl is good, the old lady is in a good mood at this time, reading a book in the house, the slave will go and report to you?" ”

Xu's gaze turned to Jin Ling and nodded slightly.

Jin Ling hurriedly went in, and it didn't take long for her to lift the curtain herself: "The old lady invites the lady and the two girls to go in, and the slave maid goes to pour tea for the lady and the two girls." Does Madame still want Golden Eyebrow tea? Do the second and third girls want to taste osmanthus nectar? This year's new one, flushing water can be sweet to people's hearts. ”

Xu nodded slightly, and the third girl, Shu Manyu, said with a smile: "Thank you Sister Jin Ling for your kindness, my second sister and I like to drink honey water the most, and I'm tired of Sister Jin Ling." ”

Jin Ling said that she didn't dare, but lowered the curtain and went to the pantry to make tea in person. When she brought the tray into the house, she saw the eldest girl Shu Manyao glance at her, and then leaned against the old lady and coquettishly: "Grandmother, you can give your granddaughter a sip of water to drink, her granddaughter has been here for so long, and Sister Jin Ling hasn't brought her granddaughter a cup of tea." ”

Jin Ling's expression froze, her pretty face turned white in an instant, and she smiled forcefully: "The eldest girl has wronged the slave, the slave knows that the eldest girl likes to drink rose dew the most, and she sent someone to fetch it just now, and she will bring it to the eldest girl later." ”

"Really?" Shu Manyao smiled, leaned against the old lady and didn't speak, it had been nearly half an hour since she entered the door, and this rose dew was not a rare thing, not only in her own yard, but also in the old lady's place, even if she took two steps back, she would have already taken it.

Sure enough, the old lady frowned and glared at Jin Ling: "Call Jin Huan and Jin Zhu to come in and serve, and punish you for three months, you should step back first." ”

Jin Zhu didn't dare to refute, put down the tray, and withdrew from the door with his head down. Shu Manyao got up and carried the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea: "Grandmother, don't be angry, you love your granddaughter, so give this cup of tea to your granddaughter, right?" Speaking of which, the granddaughter is still stained, and her grandmother's Yunfeng tea is much more expensive than rose dew gold. ”
