Chapter 56: Where Did You Get Your Face?
After comforting himself, Qingrong asked, "Girl, what should I do with this warm jade chess piece?" ”
"Put it away." Looking at that set of chess pieces, Jiang Changxi couldn't help but itch his hands. But because his chess skills are a bit difficult to explain, Qingrong Xiutan knows what he means, and he will definitely not play a game with her, so Jiang Changxi has no choice but to give up: "Remember to remind me of this." The eldest princess gave such a valuable courtesy, she had to return the gift well. ”
Qingrong answered and took the chess pieces and put them away.
When it was time for lunch, Fukang Tang came again to invite someone over.
Aunt Jinyu cooks a good dish, and longevity noodles are a must, but it's a pity that Aunt Jinyu rarely cooks, Jiang Changxi is occasionally greedy, and she has to ask the old lady to ask Aunt Jinyu to cook it, so she goes to eat it with a shy face.
The master's family celebrates his birthday, usually he has a big banquet, and invites friends to drink and eat meat, and longevity noodles are just a form, and they are rewarded to the next people to eat.
It's different here when I arrived at Jiang Changxi, because she was born on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was a busy day for families to reunite, and she was a junior, and it was not good to be too fanfare. She doesn't like to be public, and a bowl of longevity noodles is the most suitable for her.
However, there is still no shortage of longevity noodles for the people below. It's just that it's not in Chuncheng's hometown, there are many people in the Hou Mansion, and Aunt Jinyu alone can't make so many longevity noodles.
So the longevity noodles eaten by the old lady and Jiang Changxi were all cooked by Aunt Jinyu herself, and the people who were rewarded to the Hou Mansion were all made in the Hou Mansion's kitchen.
The old lady made another master, and all those who served in the Fang Pavilion were all rewarded for a month.
The old lady thought that Jiang Changxi was young, and she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress the heavy ceremony, so she asked Aunt Jinyu to inform them that they were gone: "Zhi'en understands Xie Xie and will spend more time serving the good girl in the future." ”
Aunt Jinyu went out to convey the old lady's meaning and sent her away.
The old lady stayed in Jiang and spoke: "Today, the eldest princess also gave a courtesy, what do you think?" ”
"The eldest princess has a noble status, the granddaughter is not only a junior, but also saved the life of the eldest princess, if the eldest princess easily appreciates something, firstly, she will not show her gratitude, and secondly, she is afraid that the villain will make irresponsible remarks, so she thought of a compromise and sent it in the name of the granddaughter's birthday gift, and it is not good for others to dig deeper."
Although Jiang Changxi's statement is not complete, it is also reasonable, as for whether there are other twists and turns, Jiang Changxi pretends not to know, and the old lady also thinks she doesn't know.
"If only you could think so. Today's birthday, grandmother doesn't want to restrain you. Go play by yourself, you don't have to talk to my old woman. ”
"The granddaughter is happy to stay with her grandmother." Jiang Changxi leaned on the old lady's side, his head rested on the old lady's shoulder, his nasal voice was glutinous, full of coquettishness: "Grandmother." ”
The old lady patted her hand, and was moved by her "grandmother" shout: "I'm not a child anymore, and I can rely on my grandmother for the rest of my life." ”
Jiang Changxi: "You have to rely on it, and you can rely on it for a lifetime." ”
The old lady smiled and bent her eyes, and the rough old hand rubbed her granddaughter's delicate little hand, and said lovingly: "But grandmother always wants to find a good family for my little granddaughter, and in the future, the husband and wife will be full of children and grandchildren." ”
It was not that the old lady had never said such things before, and Jiang Changxi's heart was very calm at that time, and there was no wave, so he thought that as long as his grandmother was happy, it would be fine.
It's still the same thing, listening to Jiang Changxi's ears at this time, she couldn't help but be stunned, and there was a trace of throbbing and loss in her heart.
She lowered her eyebrows and rubbed in the old lady's arms like a cat: "Grandmother, granddaughter wants to be by your side all the time, okay?" ”
Mrs. Jiang thought she was shy, and laughed at her: "I think about it, but how can I delay your life." When a girl is older, she always has to get married. ”
I remembered that Mrs. Qin had told her a few times, and Mrs. Guo also liked Changxi very much, and I heard that her second brother had a good impression of Changxi.
Mrs. Jiang thought that next time she could explore the wind again.
What was the old lady Jiang thinking Jiang Changxi didn't know, she raised her eyebrows and secretly hid her unknown look, sat quietly with the old lady, and never went back to Yifang Pavilion.
In the evening, the four of Anhou and Jiang Wu came back from the palace banquet, and after freshening up, they came to greet the old lady.
Jiang Changxi was originally sitting next to the old lady, but when he saw the four people coming in with Anhou, he got up and walked a few steps closer, and said, "Father, mother, brother." He greeted Jiang Changyan again: "Ah Yan." ”
Sui An Hou said a cold "um", and took Jiang Wu to step forward to greet the old lady: "Mother." ”
The old lady gave them a colder glance back.
There was an embarrassment in the Fukang Hall.
Jiang Changyan coughed lightly, and quietly pushed Jiang Changchang's back, Jiang Changyan immediately understood, and after asking his grandmother obediently, he happily congratulated Jiang Changyan on his birthday: "Sister, happy birthday." ”
Jiang Changchang echoed his last note: "Sister, happy birthday." ”
Jiang Changxi smiled, not letting his father's coldness down at all: "Thank you, Ah Yan, thank you, brother." ”
The old lady glanced at the three brothers and sisters lightly, and said: "The children are lively, staying with us elders, it is inevitable to be restrained, let's go play by ourselves first, just don't go crazy and delay the dinner." ”
The old lady spoke, and the three of them naturally did not stay in Fukang Hall anymore, and invited each other to Jiang Changxi's Yifang Pavilion.
As soon as the three of them left, the old lady's cool gaze swept towards Jiang Wu's family.
Jiang Wu's heart trembled, and he understood what his mother-in-law meant: "Then the daughter-in-law will go to the kitchen first to see how well she is prepared, don't delay the evening banquet." ”
Seeing that Jiang Wu's interest was interesting, the old lady's face was slightly better: "Hmm." ”
The old lady glanced at Aunt Jinyu, and the people who were serving in the Fukang Hall all withdrew, leaving the old lady and Sui Anhou, where could Sui Anhou not know what his mother meant.
He sat up straight and said, "Does the mother have something to say to her son?" ”
The old lady picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Today is Xi'er's birthday." ”
Sui Anhou immediately said: "The child's birthday is just a child's birthday, and it is not worth remembering by the mother." ”
The old lady was not happy when she heard this, and the movement of the teacup on the table was slightly bigger, splashing hot tea: "Is the child's birthday not worth remembering, or is Xi'er's birthday not worth remembering?" Look at your face, who is showing your face! ”
"In the end, it is your daughter-in-law, and Brother Yan is generally your blood and blood, and I think you remember their birthdays clearly." Don't think that she doesn't know anything, what he prepares for the two children's birthdays every year, and what he prepares for Xi'er's birthdays, his heart is boundless.
"Xi'er's mother is also your Ming Media is marrying, you didn't treat people well when they were there, and now that people are gone, you are smashing the tablet and giving your daughter a cold face, who are you dissatisfied with!"
Many years have passed, and when Jiang Liang's family is mentioned, Sui Anhou still looks unhappy, and can't help but contradict his mother and say, "It's not that I want to marry her." ”
"Presumptuous!" The old lady slapped the table, and her voice was so loud that Aunt Jinyu, who was guarding the door, heard it: "It seems that you are dissatisfied with me!" In this case, how can I invite me back with all kinds of kind words, it is better to let our ancestors and grandchildren die in Spring City, you are pure, and I want to be pure! ”
"Mother." Sui Anhou respected his old mother in the end, and was asked by his mother like this, where could he still sit still, got up and bent down again and again to plead guilty: "Mother is angry, it is the son who has lost his words, and the mother is angry." ”
Sui Anhou confessed his guilt in a good voice, asked for tea and begged for mercy in a low voice, and did enough to do a little low.
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him fiercely: "The Liang family has been gone for so many years, and it has already turned into a handful of loess. Now that you are on good terms with the Wu family, and your three children have grown up, what else do you want? ”
"What the mother said, the son understands. It's just that Xi'er, this kid has been misbehaving since he was a child and has a bad temperament......"
Under the fierce gaze of the old lady, Sui Anhou stopped, but after a moment, he seemed to be unbearable and said: "The mother only said that the son was partial to the two sons, and it can be known that Xi'er did too much to disappoint the son, and the son is really ......."
"Enough!" The old lady was so angry that her eyes were red, and she pointed at him and said, "You...... Xi'er let you down? What a sin! Go out and hear what the people of the capital have to say about your daughter! Reincarnated as a divine doctor, good and humble! Listen to what your son says! Gentlemen, fight in the streets! ”
"Say that my son is misbehaved, where did you get your face!"
The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table again and again, Aunt Jinyu heard that it was wrong, and hurriedly came into the house to persuade: "Old lady, old lady, don't worry, Master Hou can't be angry with the old lady anymore." ”
Sui Anhou was also afraid that the old lady would be angry, so she wanted to leave according to Aunt Jinyu's words, but the old lady didn't let him go: "You let him say, let him say!" I want to see where my granddaughter offended him and made him look down on his own daughter so much! ”
"Old lady, this Chinese New Year's Eve is an auspicious day, and it is the girl's birthday, how to make a big fuss." Aunt Jinyu persuaded: "Old lady, old lady think about the girl, pity the girl." ”
Aunt Jinyu persuaded Sui Anhou to give a look, but she couldn't really make the old lady angry.
Sui Anhou is really filial, seeing that the old lady was angry with him like this, he really didn't dare to say more, taking advantage of Aunt Jinyu's stopping, and didn't care whether the old lady let him go or not, he bent down and retreated.
"The old lady is about to stop being angry, and watch her body carefully." Aunt Jinyu stroked the old lady's back and gave her a good breath, "The girl knows it, she will be sad." ”
"My poor son, how did you meet such a father." The old lady clutched her chest and fell on the chair, her heart was full of anger for her son and worry about Jiang Changxi: "You said that if I am not there one day, my son will not be tortured to death!" ”
"Bah, good luck, how can the old lady say such unfortunate words!"
"I should have seen through it a long time ago, but I still had a glimmer of hope." In the end, it is her own son, the old lady doesn't like Jiang Wu's family, but she still has expectations for her son. But now the rest is only disappointed: "Xi'er's marriage must be decided early, so that I can rest assured." ”
Aunt Jinyu looked at the old lady worriedly: "With the old lady watching, she will definitely be able to find a good son for the girl." ”
