Chapter 63: Grandmother's Birthday
Du Rongzhi felt that her understanding of Song Zixun in the past may be too one-sided. Look at ΞΞ Shokaku.γ kanβshuβ
It's a shame that she thought he was not a good woman for two lifetimes...... Now that they have only been married, he has learned all kinds of messy methods, and he actually ...... last night
She felt weak in her legs now.
So much so that when Song Lan came to play with her, she could obviously feel that her sister-in-law was a little absent-minded today.
She is still young, so she naturally doesn't understand what Du Rongzhi's lazy charm between her eyebrows and her delicate face like a flower moistened by rain and dew mean, and she feels that she is a little different from what she has seen in the past.
While brushing the fur of the little white dog in her arms, she sighed, "Sister-in-law is so good-looking today...... that pretending to be old-fashioned tone made it easy for Mama An to hold back her laughter.
Du Rongzhi was also amused by her, and said coquettishly, "Look at your sweet mouth." Then he asked her where the dog in her arms came from.
"It," Song Lan hugged the puppy forward, "It's called Xueqiu, and it was given to me by my father yesterday." β
Du Rongzhi has always known that the husband and wife of the three-room family are harmonious, and the father is kind and filial to the son. Especially Song Lan, although she was born by her aunt, because of the early death of her biological mother, she has been raised under the knees of the third lady, and she is deeply favored by the couple, so she covered her lips and smiled, "The third uncle really loves you." Then I saw that the snowball was snow-white, and it was exactly the same as its name.
Song Lan saw Du Rongzhi staring at the snowball, thinking that she also loved these little animals as much as herself, so she hugged the snowball in front of Du Rongzhi's eyes and said generously, "Sister-in-law, do you want to hug it?" β
Du Rongzhi was so frightened that her whole body shrank back, and she thanked Bumin and said, "I've been afraid of these fluffy things since I was a child, let alone hugging them, but I'm so scared if I accidentally touch them......"
Song Lan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It turns out that sister-in-law also has something to be afraid of!" He explained, "Snowball is very good, and she is very timid, so you don't need to be afraid if she doesn't bite." β
Du Rongzhi waved her hand, "No matter how good I am, I'm afraid...... Just spare me. β
It seems that this hobby cannot be shared with my sister-in-law...... Song Lan pursed her lips a little disappointed, casually handed the snowball to the girl Ruoshui behind her, and remembered the purpose of coming today, "Sister-in-law, it will be your grandmother's birthday in half a month, have you thought about what you want to give?" β
Du Rongzhi smiled helplessly, "I originally planned to embroider a screen of hundreds of sons and grandchildren as a birthday gift, but I was diagnosed with a pregnancy halfway, and I couldn't get a needle and thread for three months, so I had to give up...... I have asked your eldest brother to find the embroidery screen of the Jiangnan Zhenpin Bureau, and it is estimated that it will be there in the next few days. β
Song Lan nodded, and couldn't help but be distressed, "Then what should I send?" My sister-in-law helped me come up with ideas. β
Du Rongzhi thought for a while, "Why don't you give your grandmother the handkerchief you embroidered?" β
Song Lan shook her head, "This was sent the year before last." β
Du Rongzhi smiled, "It's okay. Your embroidery is much better now than it was the year before, and my grandmother was delighted to see it. β
"It's still not good," Song Lan said with a frown, "I want to send one that I haven't sent before." β
Du Rongzhi pondered slightly, "By the way, didn't grandmother praise you for your great improvement in handwriting a few days ago?" Why don't you just write a picture of 100 years of life to your grandmother, do you think it's good? β
Song Lan nodded happily, "This is good, this is good." Since she received her grandmother's praise, she has become more and more attentive to her calligraphy, and even her husband is full of praise for her, and she is confident that this grandmother will like it very much.
After setting up a congratulatory gift, Song Lan's heart suddenly had a bottom, and she talked to Du Rongzhi about Mrs. Song's birthday with great interest.
Because Mrs. Song happened to be the birthday of the Lotus Festival, so every year to her birthday, in addition to the ordinary feast, everyone will also enjoy the lotus, especially at night, but also in the pool full of lotus lanterns, the lanterns drift with the waves, the light and water shadow, amazing abnormal.
Du Rongzhi also followed her grandmother to the old lady's birthday banquet when she was young, but she didn't feel much novelty, but frowned almost invisibly when she heard Song Lan speak.
The little girl didn't notice the strangeness of her sister-in-law, she was only immersed in her own world, and she talked about herself, "Cousin Qinghan said, those ordinary people outside, every year on this day, they hollow out the lotus canopy, and then light candles to make small lamps for the children at home to play...... I've never seen it before. Song Lan paused, and said with a look of yearning and shyness on his little face, "He promised to make me a lamp this time, I don't know if he ......will remember it."
"Cousin Qinghan......" Du Rongzhi pursed her lips, "You're talking about the cousin of the eldest uncle's family?" β
Song Lan hurriedly nodded, "That's him." Does my sister-in-law recognize him too? After speaking, I couldn't help but think about it, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that my aunt was sick when my sister-in-law recognized her last time, otherwise he would have followed." β
Du Rongzhi smiled, "Although I haven't met me, I've heard of the name." β
The first time she heard about Shen Qinghan was from Song Ziche's mouth. The two are of the same age, and they are uncles and cousins, so it stands to reason that they should be very close. It's just that Song Ziche doesn't like Shen Qinghan very much, and secretly complained to her in the past, saying that his cousin, who looks steady and generous on the outside, is the most two-faced master behind his back, and he doesn't know how much he has suffered in his hands - obviously everything is done by him, but in the end, he can always blame others for the East Window incident, and he insists on pretending to be aware of righteousness.
Later, she married into the Song family, although she also had a few encounters with Shen Qinghan, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is just that they know who the other party is when they meet.
When I heard this name again, it was a few years later when Song Lan said goodbye. At that time, she rarely went out, only Ri vaguely heard people chewing their tongues, saying that Song Lan had a big fight with her parents for her own family affairs, which seemed to involve Shen Qinghan......
At that time, although Shen Qinghan had not yet married, he had secretly bought a private house outside and set up an outer room, and when the Shen family found out, the lady's belly was six months old...... The Shen family wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and quickly set up a family affair to cover up the ugly thing, but somehow hit Song Lan with the idea......
Song Lan is the pearl of the third room, and it is naturally impossible for the third uncle and three aunts to agree to marry their daughter to such a family, but Song Lan followed the devil...... If it weren't for the vigilance of the girl who was waiting, she would have almost made a fuss that would have made the Song family lose face......
Du Rongzhi fiddled with the tassels on the jade pendant and said casually, "You seem to be very familiar with Cousin Qinghan?" β
"No, no," Song Lan hurriedly waved her hand, "It's just that sometimes the eldest aunt invited him to stay at home with Cousin Xinyan and played together a few times...... It's not very familiar either. He said that he was not familiar, but his face turned red inexplicably.
Du Rongzhi's heart moved.
