Chapter 24: Don't deceive me, be beautiful, soft-hearted, and good-tempered
Zhenzhi quickly inserted the short sword back into the scabbard and sat down as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, Zhen Bei raised her collar high to cover the knife marks on Jin.
"Waiting? Belle, voila! Daddy bought the spicy roast frog meat you like! This is Zhi'er's favorite osmanthus cake! Guchang changed his serious and rigid appearance in the past, and put out the oiled paper bags in his hands one by one for them to see.
It was the first time Zhenzhi had seen her father, who was as excited as a child, and no matter how hard she worked in the past, he just nodded and said "not bad".
Sure enough, Belle is Daddy's greatest hope!
Thinking of this, her eyes darkened, and her hands, which clenched the hilt of her sword, trembled pale from too much force.
The carriage stopped again, and the lights in front of the ancient house were bright, and people were standing in anticipation.
Zhenbei was the last to get out of the car, and before he could stand still, he was hugged tightly.
Then his whole body was lifted up in the air, and the man's strength was so great that he was so angry that he couldn't breathe.
"Grandmother's hearty liver, my good grandson! You're finally getting better! An old voice of joy said overhead.
"Mother, mother, you used too much force, carefully hurt Bei'er!"
It was the anxious voice of the second lady of the ancient family.
As soon as the strength on her body disappeared, Zhenbei was firmly placed on the ground, and she took a few quick breaths, and her breathing finally became smooth.
Only then did Zhen Bei see that the other party was a very tall old woman, her thick gray hair was pulled into a bun, her head was tied with a black gold plate forehead band, she was wearing a lotus blue and gold silk cardigan coat, and the golden yellow corset was erected around her waist, which made her look particularly energetic.
At this time, she was staring at herself with tears in her old eyes, ecstatic.
Zhen Bei didn't think about it, and knelt down to her and bowed: "Bei'er greets grandmother!" Let my grandmother remember! ”
This young man has bright eyes and bright teeth, gentle and elegant, where is there still a little stupid?
The old lady carefully took him in her arms, held his face and looked at it carefully, and said straightly: "Good! Good! My good Belle! You've finally figured it out! ”
Lei Shi was uncontrollable in excitement on one side, and cried a little more fiercely than the old lady.
Even the eldest lady and Zhenzhi had to shed a few tears with them.
The strange behavior of the people of the ancient family attracted passers-by to look sideways.
Gu Chang felt that his face was a little unbearable, so he had to step forward and persuade him in person: "Old lady, it's not decent to cry on the street, let's go into the courtyard and talk slowly." ”
The old lady realized that she had lost her temper in front of others, and she was a widow at a young age, selling pork on the street to support the mother and son, and to provide for her son to go to school.
Until his son won the fame, he gave up the pork stall and went around with him.
In the past few years, Guchang was promoted to the criminal department and was transferred to the imperial city, and the family moved with him, so he finally settled down and lived a stable life.
Because of her early experience, this old lady didn't care much about her face, but she knew that her son would pay attention to these things in the court, so she also paid attention to it, for fear of causing him chaos and causing him to be unable to raise his head in front of his colleagues.
At the banquet that night, the dishes were all the favorite flavors of the former owner, what rouge button meat, sugar-colored steamed goose, honey duck wings......
In short, it's all the type of sweet and greasy hair!
"Belle, come and taste this honey elbow ......"
"Be careful with your liver, try the candied venison that your grandmother specially asked the kitchen to make for you, candied venison......"
Zhenbei looked at the mountains of food piled up on the plate, and wanted to cry without tears, the most hated thing in his life was sweets!
"Grandmother, Daddy, I'm full! Let's go back to the room and rest! After a while, Zhenzhi got up and said.
"Go ahead." The Old Lady said.
Zhenzhi's thoughts, she can see clearly and understand, the palms and backs of her hands are meat, and she likes both grandchildren, but Bei'er is the only son of the Gu family, and his previous situation is special, which is even more pitiful, and she will inevitably favor him more.
Gu Chang said softly: "Zhi'er, go back and sleep well, don't think too much!" ”
Zhenzhi didn't look up, only answered softly "um", lightly blessed her body, and left with You'er.
Mrs. Liu, the eldest lady of the ancient family, is a standard official wife, with delicate eyebrows and eyes but not foxy, and gentle eyes with fortitude.
Seeing her daughter Yu Yu leaving, she was really worried in her heart, and she was too lazy to continue to stay here, pretending to be a good wife and a loving mother and filial son.
She put the dishes and chopsticks down and said gently: "Mother, you use it slowly!" The daughter-in-law still has some important things to do, so let's go first! ”
The old lady knew her thoughts, and said with her chin bowed, "Get busy! Zhi'er didn't eat much tonight, so pick a few dishes she likes and send them over! ”
Liu replied "yes".
A maid had already brought a food box, and Liu took two dishes that had not been touched and put them in: "The daughter-in-law left first!" ”
Before she left her seat, she heard the voice of disgust, and came as scheduled: "Oh, what a majesty, deal with important matters!" Today, we Bei'er, not only solved a big case to glorify our ancestors; Being able to enter Hanmen Academy again and again can be described as a happy event, double happiness is coming! I don't know if my sister has anything important to deal with at this time? ”
Liu Shi took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger that came out, and said with a smile: "Bei'er has a chance, I am naturally happy for him!" But what does this have to do with me handling family matters? You can't meet a happy event, even the guys are thrown away! I'm tired and thankless! It's not like some people who only know it all day long, and they can't even read the account book, and they can still please people! ”
"Who are you referring to Sang scolding Huai?" Lei stood up and screamed as he slapped the table.
"Oh, why is my sister still in a hurry! I, of course, mean those foxes who only eat but don't dry, scratching their heads everywhere! Ah! My sister can't think of herself, right? Liu covered her mouth and smiled disdainfully, seeing Lei's fried hair, she suddenly felt better.
However, her mocking look completely ignited Lei's fiery temper.
Lei Shi pushed away the brocade chair, took a few deep breaths, stepped in front of the other party in three or two steps, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed to the other party's nose with the other, "What qualifications do you Liu Yuying have to teach me!" Anyway, the son of the Gu family got up from my belly, which onion are you? Oh, I see! It must be that Bei'er's illness has been cured, and today you are comparing Zhenzhi to Zhenzhi, you are not convinced and find fault, and you want to vent for your precious daughter, don't you? Hum! surnamed Liu, I advise you to clamp your tail and be a good person! Don't deceive me, I am soft-hearted and good-tempered, if you really provoke me, I have to let the master lock you up in the backyard firewood room to settle accounts! ”
She poured beans and said in one breath.
"Lei Yueqin, what nonsense are you talking about! If it weren't for Mrs. Ben's measurements, you would still have a chance to jump up to now? Liu Shi stuffed the food box into the hand of the maid beside him, and took half a step forward without being left behind, and replied.
The same scene, Zhen Bei's memory is innumerable, but it was the first time to watch the battle on the spot, and he looked at the two people standing in the smoke of gunpowder dumbfounded.
On the other hand, the old lady looked like they were not surprised.
