Chapter 59: Coming for You
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went farther and farther away in talking about Cheng Chuyang's future and marriage, leaving Cheng Xiangjin bored on the side.
Every year on the day of the winter solstice, the Cheng Mansion will give the maid a few days off, those who are close to home can go home to accompany their relatives, and those who are far away from home can go out to wander around at will and be free for a few days.
The maids around Cheng Xiangjin, except for Xiao Yuer and the Gan sisters, have relatives in the house and don't have to travel far, and the six of them are all unaccompanied.
Cheng Xiangjin eats and drinks well, and the only thing that can't be relieved is the six girls in the Yulan Courtyard.
The old lady noticed that she was absent-minded and quipped: "Does Jin'er also want to get married?" Why do you look preoccupied? ”
Cheng Xiangjin wrinkled her nose embarrassedly, "No, my granddaughter can't rest assured that Qiaohui and a few of them are there." Xiao Yu'er and the Gan sisters were reunited with their relatives, and only the six of them were lonely. It's really pitiful to say! ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the six kids!" Old Madam Cheng was thoughtful and silent for a moment, then turned her head sideways to listen to the outside, but didn't hear any sound, "Your father, they may have eaten well and left." Since you can't rest assured that those children can't be relieved, why don't you go back early. I still have a lot of food and gadgets here, let Mama Lan help you clean up some in a while, you take it back and give them a point for everything, and let them taste it with you, happy! ”
Cheng Xiangjin was overjoyed when she heard this, "Okay, then you can talk to your mother first, and Jin'er will come over to accompany you at dinner time!" ”
Old Madam Cheng waved her hand, "Then let's go!" Remember to give each of those children some pocket money, Chang'an City has been lively in the past two days, and let them go out to buy some rare things to play! ”
"Got it, grandmother!"
Cheng Xiangjin happily walked out of the house, opened the curtain and looked up, and saw several big men sitting around the table, or lying on their backs, or lying on their stomachs, in different postures, sleeping soundly.
The dishes on the table were almost all eaten, except for a pile of empty dishes that were placed haphazardly. There was a row of empty wine jars on the ground against the wall, and Cheng Xiangjin swept them, a total of eight. In other words, these five people, after drinking the six jars brought by Bai Su, opened two other jars of wine.
No wonder these people slept so deeply, they were all drunk!
She swept over the faces of several people, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the gray clothes who were leaning up against the wall.
Perhaps because he drank too much wine, Bai Su's face was a little more dizzy than before. Cheng Xiangjin glanced at it and shifted her gaze, still a little puzzled in her heart, remembering that her brother once said that Bai Su had a pill that could relieve hangover, and her father had taken it once when he was drunk. Did you drink too much today and forget it?
Mama Lan packed up a few food and gadgets and came out, and when she saw her waiting in the hall, she hurriedly stepped forward and handed it to her.
"Find two little servants and send my father back, sleep here and be careful of catching a cold. There are also a few brothers and brothers, who also wake people up. Bai Gongzi and Xie Gongzi couldn't leave, so they settled together in their brother's yard. When people are sober, when are people sent back. ”
Mama Lan got the order and went out to find someone, while Cheng Xiangjin carried her things all the way back to her yard.
In the Yulan Courtyard, in addition to Xiao Yu'er, the six Qiaohui and the Gan sisters are all there. As soon as Cheng Xiangjin entered the hospital, eight maids immediately greeted him.
Gan Lu had doubts and took the lead in opening his mouth, "Girl, why did you come back so early?" ”
Cheng Xiangjin felt that she was asking very strangely, and frowned, "Huh? You're done eating, why don't you come back? Well, my grandmother asked me to give them to you, so let's divide them in the house first. ”
Ganyu and the others saw that they were all rare things and food, and they swarmed around and took them into the house.
Ganlu saw that Ganyu and Qiaohui's eyelids were so shallow, and she was suddenly a little secretly anxious.
"No, oh girl, how can I tell you? That's the case, when we were having lunch for a few days, we overheard the little guy say that Bai Gongzi and Xie Dagongzi both came to our house with gifts today. The slave maid thought, you know both of them, maybe you will stay in the old lady's courtyard for a while, and come back after dinner! ”
Cheng Xiangjin was even more puzzled, "Whether they come or not, what does it have to do with when I will come back?" What's more, they drank too much with their father and brother, and now they are sleeping unconscious! ”
Seeing his master like this, Ganlu immediately scratched her ears and cheeks and was faintly anxious.
"Girl, those hateful rumors outside have not stopped yet, at this juncture, Bai Gongzi and Xie Dagongzi can still come to our house, what do you think it is for?"
Cheng Xiangjin felt that her question was very funny, "What else can it be?" Bai Gongzi came, it was because he had a good relationship with his father and brother, and he sent wine to fulfill his previous promise. When Mr. Xie came, it was even simpler, because of the friendship between our Cheng and Xie families. It's for the sake of my grandmother's face, that's why I came. It's as simple as that, what's the problem? ”
Manna shook her head as soon as she heard her analysis.
"That's not right! The two of them came over at this time, and it was by no means as simple as the girl thought! ”
Cheng Xiangjin curled her lips funny, "Tell me, what else can it be?" Could it be that your girl and I have a discredited reputation, and I came here to pity me? ”
Manna was completely defeated by her brain circuit, "Girl, you have such a beautiful face, can't you be more sunny?" Besides, what are the identities of those two? How could you do such a despicable thing? ”
Cheng Xiangjin looked at Ganlu's frustrated appearance and felt funny, "Then you analyze and analyze, this is not, that is not either." What else could it be? ”
Manna was completely anxious, "Girl, didn't you think about it at all, they came because they liked you?" ”
Ganlu was afraid that what she said was not strong, so she took a bronze mirror and put it in front of Cheng Xiangjin.
He pointed to the face with the white sign in the mirror, hating that iron is not steel, "Girl, look at you, you look like this, the two of them like you, isn't it normal for you to come?" ”
Cheng Xiangjin was induced by her and couldn't help but look at the face in the bronze mirror, just as Ganlu said, there is naturally no problem with her appearance.
She sensibly revisited the words of nectar in her heart. Shook his head again.
"No!"
"Why? Does the girl think she is not beautiful enough? ”
Cheng Xiangjin shook his head, "It has nothing to do with whether it is beautiful or not." ”
Ganlu didn't understand, "My Fair Lady, good gentleman!" A man likes a girl, not for her appearance, what else can she do for it? Is it temperament? However, the girl's temperament is not bad, is it? Why is it impossible for the two of them to like you and come for you because the girl is good-looking and temperamental? Maybe I'll have to stay in the house for a few more days! ”
