Chapter 93: Uninvited Guest
As the words of the annunciation girl fell, a woman in her thirties dressed gorgeously and beautifully looked walked into the room with two girls.
"I heard that the eldest sister has a guest here, so let's have a fun time." Before the beautiful woman could stand still, she smiled and said, by the way, her eyes had already turned to Yuan Dongchu's side.
The two girls behind her, one was about the same age as Zhuo Jinglan, and the other looked a year or two younger, both of them were well-dressed and beautiful.
The two of them first saluted Mrs. Fang, and then met with Xu and Zhuo Jinglan, said a few words, and sat under Zhuo Jinglan together, looking very familiar.
Mrs. Fang didn't plan to introduce them to Yuan Dongchu, and when the beautiful woman sat down, she said to Xu, "Isn't there something to be busy?" I'll talk to your aunt and two sisters, and you and Jinglan will accompany Miss Yuan to get busy. ”
Xu Shi responded, and was just about to hand over Xiao Jin'er to the nurse, when the beautiful woman called her aunt turned her eyes, and saw the agate bracelet in Yuan Dongchu's hand with sharp eyes, and immediately said: "Which girl is this old friend?" The eldest sister likes these two bracelets so tightly, but the eldest sister gave them to this girl. ”
Yuan Dongchu lowered his eyebrows and did not say anything.
Listening to the title, this beautiful woman should be Mrs. Fang's sister, and it is unseemly to be so rude to her sister's guests in front of her sister.
It's just that people are close relatives, and she has no position to question the etiquette as an outsider.
It's just that this bracelet is worn, but it's really awkward.
The one who was called Miss Biao, seeing that Yuan Dongchu had no reaction, muttered in a low voice: "It's so thick-skinned, it's been said like this, and you still don't let go of other people's things." Look at the garment you wear, and you don't see if you are worthy. ”
Her muttering voice was not high, but Yuan Dongchu heard it clearly.
Not only Yuan Dongchu heard it, but Zhuo Jinglan also heard it, and immediately changed color and asked, "Qingyao, what did you say?!" ”
Miss Biao, who was called Qingyao, probably didn't expect that Zhuo Jinglan would treat her like this for an outsider in shabby clothes.
was stunned at first, then pouted unwillingly, and said, "I'm not wrong, look at her clothes, how can she be worthy of that pair of bracelets?" At first glance, it's just to fight the autumn wind. It was okay to take some food and wear back, and coaxed such a beautiful bracelet, she didn't have a matching identity, and she had to sell it in the end. I just pity the exquisiteness of this bracelet, and it doesn't mean anything else. ”
The beautiful woman should be Qingyao's mother, in addition to not scolding her daughter's rudeness, she echoed: "Yes, eldest sister." ”
As he spoke, he deliberately looked Yuan Dongchu up and down before continuing: "With her status, it is more practical to receive some rice and noodles and clean up some clothes that the children don't wear." ”
Mrs. Fang's face flashed with anger and embarrassment alternately, and finally suppressed her emotions, lowered her eyelids, and said lightly: "This girl is a distinguished guest invited by the master, and it is not something that people can say casually. If this is what you have come to say, it is better to be cautious. ”
Feeling the change in the atmosphere in the room, Xiao Jin'er in Xu's arms sobbed and cried out "wow".
Xu hurriedly hugged and comforted, but faced his mother-in-law's sister, but he was a little helpless.
The beautiful woman probably didn't expect that Mrs. Fang would actually show her face, and her face was not good-looking at the moment, so she sneered: "It turned out that my brother-in-law invited me, and sure enough, people can't look good, it turns out that we have lost our eyes." My sister too, didn't tell us earlier, so we were surprised! ”
Mrs. Fang was still angry when she saw her face, and then turned to Yuan Dongchu, looked up and down again, and asked in a tone of voice: "I don't know where the girl is?" It doesn't look like a long-term residence in Tongzhou. To be so valued by the head of the Zhuo family, I think the girl's family background is very unusual, right? ”
She didn't believe it, what a great family affair could it be for her daughter to dress so coldly!
Yuan Dongchu was looked at by her like this, but she didn't show the slightest discomfort, "It's disappointing to this wife, the little girl has no family background, just running a boat on the river." ”
"Run...... Running a boat? The beautiful woman, the third lady and the young lady who came with her were all shocked, and they all looked at Yuan Dongchu and looked up and down again.
Yuan Dongchu didn't notice anything, and slowly took off the bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Aunt Liu behind him.
Aunt Liu was super sensible, took it very carefully, and stuffed it into the package she was holding in her hand, until she felt safe, and then regained her previous restrained and wooden demeanor.
This action, in the eyes of the beautiful woman, is even more vulgar and contemptible, and ridiculed: "My sister is rich now, this is looking down on our mother and daughter!" For the sake of a pariah who ran away with a boat, he actually scolded our mother and daughter like this. ”
"Shouning, don't talk like that." Mrs. Fang's face was forbearing.
Zhuo Jinglan was about to laugh angrily: "Auntie, Miss Yuan is our invited guest. My aunt and cousin were so rude, what position did they put my mother in? ”
"That's it!" Mrs. Fang stopped her daughter. It's shameful enough, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for the guests to argue about the right and wrong housework in front of the young man whom her husband likes?
She apologized to Yuan Dongchu and said: "We originally invited Miss Yuan to come over to guide Jinglan, but we made the girl feel wronged, and we were not considerate. ”
The cousin Qing Yao's eyes flashed, and she said to herself, "Guidance? The suspicious gaze looked at Yuan Dongchu repeatedly.
Yuan Dongchu is also fed up, and good things actually make these nonsense. The mother and daughter are clearly like whether they are good at fighting the autumn wind, and they are the kind that fight the autumn wind for a long time.
"Or," Yuan Dongchu said up, "that's it for today?" Let's talk about the clerical matter at another time. ”
"Is the girl's surname Yuan? Miss Yuan actually came to write the paperwork? Qing Yao grasped the key again.
Zhuo Jinglan didn't sort out Qingyao, and stood up with Yuan Dongchu: "No, let's go." Isn't it in a hurry? There's no need to delay work because of this kind of thing. ”
Xu was still holding Xiao Jin'er, but he also got up.
Those few were a little dumbfounded, especially the beautiful women, and they stared at Aunt Liu, who was holding the package, and tried to change the topic: "Do you want to write papers?" Is it a business matter that is inconvenient for me and Qingyao to know? What about the third lady? The third miss is also a sister of the Zhuo family, and she is very good at reading, so is it okay to let the third miss help? ”
The third young lady, who didn't speak much, heard this, and her eyes flashed with expectation.
"No need, Miss Yuan's identity is not worthy of the third sister. Only my sister-in-law and I can help to fight, so we won't be wronged by the third sister. Zhuo Jinglan couldn't say anything, and pulled Yuan Dongchu away.
Now she, regardless of whether they met for the first time or not, whether they were familiar with each other or not, took Yuan Zhongchu's hand by herself, walked out of Mrs. Fang's courtyard as quickly as the wind, and walked away.
The only ones who can follow the two of them closely are Zhuo Jinglan's two maids, and Aunt Liu, who is walking like a fly.
Even Xu, who followed suit, could only cry and laugh and watch the backs of the two go away.
