Chapter 247: The Devil Always Hides in the Details!
As soon as Cen Xiyan spoke, everyone in the room looked at her, and she stared straight at Cen Xifen with the kind of sharp apricot eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Cen Xifen looked at Cen Xiyan's eyes, and suddenly had a feeling that she was seeing through, which made her feel weak and very uncomfortable, she dodged Cen Xiyan's gaze, deliberately raised her face, and used a righteous voice to cover up her weakness, and said coldly: "That kind of vulgar words are really unspeakable!" I'm also a girl from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, how can I learn those words! ”
In fact, she couldn't make up those non-existent "Jingshuang insults" her words for a while, for fear that she would not be fluent enough to make it up, get stuck, and show her feet again.
Compared with Cen Xifen's bad attitude, Cen Xiyan was as calm and calm as before, her eyes moved away from Cen Xifen, and fell on Cen Xifen's eldest girl Thrush, and said in a calm voice: "Since the eighth sister can't say it, it's better to let the thrush speak." ”
When the thrush heard that he was named again, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and quickly pondered in his heart what to say to deal with it.
At this time, Cen Xifen suddenly grabbed the words again: "How can those vulgar words be learned in front of grandmother?" Cen Xiyan, you yourself are from the countryside, you don't care if you hear anything, but you don't have to dirty your grandmother's ears! ”
"Smack!" As soon as Cen Xifen's words fell, Old Lady Cen suddenly slapped the table and said sharply: "Eight girls!" What nonsense are you talking about?! ”
Cen Xifen was taken aback, her body shook, and then she looked at Mrs. Cen with a frightened face, and her eyes were suddenly filled with two bubbles of tears, but this will not let the tears fall in her eyes, biting her lip and enduring it, she was scared, aggrieved and stubborn, which is easy to make people feel sympathy and pity.
However, this time, Old Taijun Cen's eyes did not soften again, and he said in a stern voice: "Always tell others the rules, how did you learn the rules?" What came from the countryside? And who taught you to call your sister by her name?! ”
Cen Xifen was aggrieved in her heart, she was so big, Cen Lao Taijun rarely criticized her in such a harsh tone, and in front of two people she hated very much, she suddenly felt that Cen Lao Taijun was really eccentric! The tears couldn't be controlled again, and big drops rolled down.
However, many children who grew up in this kind of high-ranking and deep house are already instinctively engraved in their bones to compete for favor and please the people with the highest status in the house, so even if she is wronged and dissatisfied in her heart, she immediately made the most suitable, most redeemable and remedial response, she softly admitted her mistake to Mrs. Cen: "It's Fen'er who didn't hide her mouth and said the wrong thing, please don't be angry." ”
"Alas......" Old Lady Cen sighed, then looked at the thrush with a shocked face, and said, "Tell me, what did Jingshuang say about the eight girls?" Vulgar words can be skipped, just talk about it. ”
Seeing that Old Taijun Cen had a gentle attitude towards her, Thrush glanced at Cen Xifen, stabilized her mind again, and then said, "Jingshuang said ...... She said that our young lady has a long melon! It's not as good-looking as the other ladies in the house, and it's even worse than Miss Six! ”
When she first spoke, there was still some hesitation and apprehension in the thrush's voice, and when she finally spoke, she raised her voice and looked angry, as if she had really heard someone insulting her young lady, which made her extremely angry and tried her best to defend her master.
After saying this, the thrush peeked at Cen Xifen again, with a little excitement and merit in his eyes, but Cen Xifen's face was ugly, his eyes swept the thrush coldly, and the thrush turned pale with fright, and quickly hung his head, puzzled in his heart, why was his own young lady unhappy.
Cen Xifen can be happy to see the hell, she knows very well in her own heart, Jingshuang has never scolded her like this, this is a temporary made up by Thrush herself, but it is poking at her sore spot!
Cen Xifen is not ugly, she can be regarded as a little beauty, but her figure is a little too rounded, at her age, a little chubby is not ugly, and it will make people feel very cute, but she herself doesn't think that the Cen family is a beauty, whether it is a married or unmarried girl, they are all beautiful one by one, and the most top-notch ones at present are Cen Xiyan who just came back and Cen Xihan, the fourth lady, Cen Xifen is too ordinary compared to the girls of the Cen family. Especially Cen Xiyan, this concubine of the Cen family who has been raised outside for ten years, shouldn't she be a dirt bun that is inferior to her in appearance and temperament in all aspects? But the truth is far from what she took for granted in her heart, and even the other way around, even a country bun is better than her, how can Cen Xifen stand it? This is also the main reason why she has always looked at Cen Xiyan unpleasantly and has been troublesome to her.
Now, although the thrush is making up nonsense, what he says is the truth, and Cen Xifen is strange if she is not angry! Look at Cen Xiyan, how can she clean up the dead girl thrush!
Cen Xifen was gritting her teeth in her heart, and at this moment, Cen Xiyan's calm but sharp voice sounded again, "Grow melons?" What does that mean? ”
As soon as Cen Xiyan's question was raised, the atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed! Even Cen Xifen, who was gritting her teeth in her heart, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the thrush's face turned white with a "swish"! A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead instantly!
"Jingshuang, what does 'melon' mean?" Cen Xiyan deliberately asked Jingshuang again.
Jingshuang replied respectfully: "Miss Hui's words, the slave doesn't know. ”
"Huh?" Cen Xiqin, who had been watching the excitement, deliberately showed surprise on his face, and suddenly said, "Melon? It shouldn't be the dialect of the capital, right? If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Shu dialect, which means ugly, right? ”
"Shudu dialect?" Cen Xiyan showed a sudden look, then looked at Old Taijun Cen, bowed down and said: "Grandmother, Jingshuang is a maid who has followed me since she was a child, and has been serving her granddaughter for more than ten years, following her granddaughter from the capital to Qingyuan Town, she has never left her granddaughter's side, let alone been to Shudi, how can she speak the dialect of Shudi?" ”
Cen Xiyan has been to Shudi, and she also knows the meaning of this dialect, she deliberately forced Cen Xifen and the thrush master and servant to learn the scene and lines at that time, just to catch the loopholes, there is a saying that "the devil is always hidden in the details", sure enough, as soon as the thrush spoke, she was caught by the loophole.
At this time, Cen Xiqin answered just right, "If I'm not mistaken, Thrush's father's ancestral home is Shudu, right?" I fled to the capital back then, and then voluntarily sold myself and signed a lifetime contract with our Cen family, right? ”
