291 - Write this hastily, pray for forgiveness
Yinyu quickly wrote a letter, ordered someone to send it to the Marhan Mansion, and advised, "Be sure to hand it over to Miss Zhaojia, otherwise it will also be handed over to the maid hanging toad beside her." ¥ ♀ Eight ¥ ♀ Eight ¥ ♀ Read ¥ ♀ Book, 2≠3o ◆"
As usual, the letters of the voice are naturally free to move in and out of the house, and there is no evasion. But just now there was something about Yinxi, and seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Malhan had to tell everyone in the family to be cautious, and let him know everything about Miss Seven.
So the letter Yinyu gave to Niansheng was handed to the hanging toad on the front foot, and the news on the back foot was reported to Marhan's study.
"Go and ask the young lady to come over." After dinner, when Marhan heard about it in his study, he said without looking up. "Wait......"
The steward was about to go out, but Malhan stopped him again. "Master, what else do you command?" The butler hesitated and turned around and bowed to ask.
Marhan groaned slightly, "Forget it." Just because I don't know about it. After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the housekeeper to retreat.
After about half an hour, the butler stepped into Marhan's study again, "Master, the seventh lady has already written a reply to the fourteenth master. After ordering the old slave to present it to the master, he arranged for someone to send it out. After speaking, he respectfully put Niansheng's reply and Yinyu's letter on his master's bookcase.
Malhan put down the manuscript of the newspaper in his hand, only picked up Niansheng's reply that had not yet been put into the envelope, looked at it hastily, and handed it to the butler. "You go and seal it, and arrange for a safe person to send it out."
The butler didn't dare to ask more, so he took the letter but didn't go out, but glanced at the letter from the fourteenth elder brother on Malhan's desk.
Malhan's fingers scratched a few times on the envelope containing Yinyu's handwritten letter, intentionally or unintentionally, and finally knocked twice, as if he had made up his mind, "Let Miss take this letter back herself." ”
"Yes." The housekeeper got the answer, and then he went without touching the ground.
After a while, the voice appeared outside his Amma's study.
Malhan turned his head to look at the chiming clock on the Bogu shelf beside him, and at this hour, his daughter must have left before receiving his letter. "Come in."
"Daughter greets Amma." Nian Sheng is rarely so quiet and dignified in the house, and he walked into the study with small steps, and was blessed steadily, then stood with his head down, and did not say much.
Malhan sorted out the documents in his hand, and said "um" as a promise, waiting for his daughter's little mouth to babble by himself as usual. But who knew that after waiting for a while, the study was still quiet, and he could only hear the reactionary sound of the paper in his hand, which made Malhan feel a little strange, he looked up at his daughter standing still in front of the bookcase, "Why are you standing still?" I didn't call you to come to the punishment station. Are you still waiting for Amma to get up and give you your seat? ”
Nian Sheng bowed his head and replied: "My daughter doesn't dare." I chose the chair near the bookcase and sat down.
Malhan didn't say anything more, but buried himself in tidying up his things, until he heard the sound of the soles of his shoes gently scratching the floor tiles, and then a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he raised his head again.
Nian Sheng patiently did not see himself Ama open his mouth for a long time, and he lowered his head in boredom to pass the time by rubbing his toes against the lines of the floor tiles, and he didn't notice that he was looking at him.
"Can't sit still for a while?" Marhan asked coldly.
"You do this, sit and try, keep ......" Nian Sheng muttered smoothly and continued, "Uh......" Halfway through the words, he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly covered his mouth, put on a deferential appearance and buried his head again, and said in a soft voice before changing, "No." Amma is busy with official business, and she can't be idle when she goes home, and her daughter has nothing to do, so it's okay to wait for a while. ”
Looking at his daughter's supple style that everyone should have, Marhan couldn't cry or laugh for a while. If his baby daughter was like this, he might still be a little happy, but what kind of virtue she is Marhan knows very well in his heart, looking at Niansheng pretending like this, Malhan can't help but feel a little chill behind his back.
"Niansheng, do you have something to ask Amma?" Malhan decided to speak first, if this little ancestor really asked for something, he quickly satisfied her, and saved her from playing tricks on herself here.
Marhan's words made Nian Sheng stunned, "Amma, my daughter doesn't have any requirements." Nian Sheng replied earnestly.
Malhan thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "What objects in your aunt's house have you taken a fancy to again?" Or do you think there is something in the dowry that is not enough? ”
The voice shook his head strangely.
"Or do you want to see the thirteenth elder brother again before the wedding?" Malhan felt that this was the most likely, and continued, "Although this is a bit impolite, Amma is an open person, and it is nothing for you to meet each other in small contacts. It's just that I can't be in our house, I'll ask your aunt and Concubine De to open your mouth and let you ......"
Nian Sheng finally faintly sensed that something was wrong, got up and took two steps closer to the bookcase, looked at himself Ama and asked, "Amma, are you uncomfortable?" Why are you talking nonsense? ”
"Huh?" Marhan was stunned, "No." Amma: I'm fine. ”
"So what's wrong with you? For a while, Zhang Luo gave things, and for a while, he asked me to meet Yinxiang, which is different from your usual times. Nian Sheng held the bookcase with both hands, and his face was about to poke in front of his Amma face, "Oh~ I know, are you going home to welcome your new aunt again?" I'm afraid that my mother will be unhappy, so I'll ambush me first? Amma, I'm not talking about you, you're also at your age, there are some things, you still have to restrain yourself a little ......"
The more Malhan listened, the more stunned he became, and finally reacted, and he stopped his thoughts, "Bastard!" What are you talking about?! Did you talk to yourself like that? ”
Nian Sheng grinned, sat back in the chair before, but he was completely free of the formality and dignity just now, leaned on the chair and said in a non-formal manner, "Amma, I have grown so big, you are very good to me, and I must have been in front of my mother." ”
Mar sat up straight, pointed at his daughter and scolded with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that you were wrong as soon as you entered the door just now, would you be able to do this?" Look at what you just did, those two steps, huh? It's like there is a teaching and learning grandmother in the palace, and the tone of speech is like those short-sighted mothers-in-law who are children in the deep courtyard of the house. ”
Nian Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he almost fell off the chair with laughter, and while laughing, he said breathlessly, "It turned out that it was for this." And I am still careful to accompany the mistakes. ”
"What are you doing with you?" Thinking about the description of the father and daughter just now, Marhan couldn't help but laugh.
Nian Sheng rubbed his stomach, straightened his expression slightly, and said, "The matter of the eighth elder brother has not been finished yet, and the letter from the fourteenth elder brother has been handed to the family. I just got a lesson from you a few days ago, who knows if you're cloudy or sunny here? I just want to be small and low, maybe Amma, you look at your daughter pitiful, so you won't pursue it so much. I sent a letter here, and I was afraid that you would misunderstand, so I hurried over. ”
Marhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You! It's not that kind of person at all, just pretend to be outside, what are you doing in your own home? ”
"Amma, E-Niang told me today. It is said that after getting married, there are many people in Baylor's house, and if you want your daughter to be in front of someone else at any time, she can't easily relax and lose the majesty of the housewife. Nian Sheng rolled his eyes and recited the lessons of his mother's day, but he frowned first as he spoke.
Marhan waved his hand absently, "Ama doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house. But as long as you are acting in our family, my father is not worried that someone will bully you. Your own house, how can you live comfortably behind closed doors, as long as Lord Belle doesn't say anything to you, you care about them. ”
Such remarks came out of the mouth of Amma, who has always been strict, and the voice was really strange.
However, Marhan did not give his daughter a chance to say more, but went straight to it. "I've read the reply letter to your fourteenth elder brother, Amma, the wording is appropriate, it's not rude, it's very good. It's just ......," Malhan picked up the letter from Yinyu on the desk, "although Ama hasn't read this letter, he already knows the contents of it from your reply. Amma just wants to ask you, have you thought about it? ”
Nian Sheng's face was completely devoid of the playful look just now, and he glanced at the letter in his arma's hand, "What's so good about this?" It's inappropriate to do things that are both emotional and reasonable, so why bother with more entanglements? ”
Yinyu asked Niansheng to talk about it in person in the letter, probably because he was afraid that she would refuse, and deliberately said at the end: Qingyan said that you and I are the gift of our friends, and it is appropriate to have this etiquette, but I will say it briefly, please don't refuse.
This made Niansheng think about it for a long time before replying to the letter, but in the end he politely declined Yinyu's request, and only said: The chores are tedious, and I am too busy to leave. I hope to be sympathetic to one or two, and let me know more about it in the future. Write this hastily, and pray for forgiveness.
Malhan nodded, "Although you say it appropriately, anyone knows that it is a pretext. Even if you push away the present, what about the future? As a brother and sister-in-law, even if you don't have to meet on weekdays, there will inevitably be a time to meet in the palace during the New Year's Festival. But do you want to hide all the time? ”
"Naturally, I won't hide." Nian Sheng raised his chin slightly, "In the future, my daughter will definitely find an opportunity to explain this public case clearly to the fourteenth elder brother in front of Yinxiang." Even though I said we were still friends, we still needed to avoid suspicion. Even if this is not the daughter's intention, they still have to take care of their own decency. ”
Malhan finally nodded with satisfaction, "The current situation is unclear, if you can think like this, Amma will be relieved." ”
