300 Before there is a wolf, and after that there is a tiger
Xiangye stomped her feet, but in the end she still listened to Wen Qin's words, and even sent the box to the old lady next door.
Mama Zhong chose a celadon plate, put the jujube paste yam cake on the porcelain plate, and rested it next to Mrs. Wen's hand.
"This is from the Ning family?" Old Madam Wen said leisurely.
Mama Zhong nodded, "The old lady is wise, isn't it a return gift from the Ning family." β
"This young lady of the Ning family is generous, and five pieces of mung bean cake actually returned eight pieces of jujube paste yam cake." Mrs. Wen pinched a piece of snacks, slowly put it in her mouth, and wiped the corners of her mouth at the end of the piece, "This jujube paste yam cake tastes good." β
Mama Zhong also smiled and said, "Mrs. Ning is generous, I guess Miss Qin is going to be in a hurry." β
Old Madam Wen was also happy when she thought of this stubble, "You narrow ghost! Let's watch Qin girl busy with her work, isn't it not very kind? β
Mama Zhong handed a hot handkerchief to Mrs. Wen, "Caiyi entertains relatives, and I am happy to want to come to Miss Qin." β
Mrs. Wen raised her eyebrows, the master and servant of forty or fifty years, how could Mrs. Wen not hear the meaning of my Mama Zhong's words, "Miss Qin is looking for you?" β
"The old slave knows that he can't hide anything from the old lady. Mama Zhong hung the veil on the shelf.
Old Madam Wen didn't continue, and the master and servant overcame this stubble.
Over there, Wen Qin couldn't wait for Xiangye to come back, and had already found a few books from the wooden box she was used to, all of which were her own drawings. These patterns were all painted by Wen Qin himself when he was in the ancestral house, and if they were left outside to sell, they would be worth a lot of silver.
Wen Qin didn't think about it, he rolled up all these books in one go, and went to the stern of the boat with a small baggage.
Sun Yasi was so angry that her teeth itched, and when she saw Wen Qin going to Ning's house again, she didn't pause when she passed her house, was she afraid that she would stop her? "Humph! What's the big deal, the dignified official lady actually wants to be close to the farmer, shame! β
Shen Tuantuan looked at Wen Qin who went and returned in surprise, is this a dim sum? Not enough? "Miss Wenβ"
Before he could even take back the table on the deck, Sun Yashi came again.
"Mrs. Ning-" Wen Qin's forehead was oozing with thin sweat, she ran over in a hurry when she looked for something, which Cheng thought, she didn't even think about how to speak.
Although Aunt Xiao was surprised that Wen Qin was here again, she was happy that someone could practice Shen Tuantuan, learn to greet people, and learn to talk about the scene.
Wen Qin: ...... I don't want to be trained at all!
Aunt Xiao: I don't listen, I don't listen.
Aunt Xiao happily served hot tea and snacks. Thinking of the cold scene before, Aunt Xiao didn't care if there was a difference between master and servant, and helped Shen Tuantuan greet Wen Qin. "Miss Wen can come to talk to my young lady, my young lady is happy."
A thin layer of red flashed on Wen Qin's face, "I'll definitely come to disturb when I'm free next time." β
Shen Tuantuan blinked, he didn't know what to say, could it be that I don't welcome you here? Actually, I'm also busy? Facing Wen Qin's red little face, a pair of eyes were looking at her sincerely and apologetically, Shen Tuantuan could only nod.
Wen Qin saw Shen Tuantuan nodding, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. "With Mrs. Ning's good things, I really can't get my hands on those few pieces of dim sum, I just feel panicked. I wondered if the young lady might be able to use these tricks......"
Wen Qin spread out the cloth bag as he spoke, pushed a few books with patterns in front of Shen Tuantuan, and then introduced them one by one, "This is a man's, this is a woman's, this is an older one, and they are all painted by me in my spare time." β
"Hey, Miss Wen, you're really capable!" Shen Tuantuan sincerely admired! She has been practicing for many years, but she can barely write a hand, but she will be able to read it. Looking at these patterns, the twists and turns, and all kinds of flowers and birds, Shen Tuantuan admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Wen Qin was embarrassed to be praised, she was not a fool, she could hear that Shen Tuantuan was sincerely praising her. "If Mrs. Ning likes it, then I'll give you all these tricks."
Shen Tuantuan hurriedly waved his hand, "How can this be!" You have three tricks, I don't know how long it took you to draw them, how can I open my mouth and get your good things. That's not kind. β
Wen Qin's face was a little strange, before, Sun Yashi saw her tricks, and opened his mouth to leave......
Shen Tuantuan thought that because she rejected Wen Qin's good things, Wen Qin's face changed. I lamented in my heart, today's little lady, it's really not as good as their little lady at that time, I think she stepped on Niu Hongmei's face to the ground, Niu Hongmei still looks as usual, what should be. Now, she just refused to take other people's good things, and the face of the little lady of the Wen family changed and changed.
Shen Tuantuan licked his lips, secretly wondering if he should take back his previous words? "Actually, it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I'm not good at needlework, and if I were asked to sew and mend, it would be worse than killing me."
Wen Qin didn't expect Shen Tuantuan to be so straightforward, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he was stunned for a long time before he comforted Shen Tuantuan. "Actually, I'm not good at needlework, but now the ready-to-wear in the shop outside is really good, I heard the little lady of the Sun family say that the dresses in the ready-to-wear shops in the capital are even more trendy. Maybe compared with the ones in the capital, my tricks won't be in the stream, Mrs. Ning, don't shirk, I don't have anything else I can do. β
Wen Qin's words were sincere, so that Shen Tuantuan couldn't bear to shirk anymore. "Then I'll take it? If you don't dislike it, you can call me Tuan Tuan, my family calls me like this. β
Wen Qin responded obediently, "The young lady is a few years older than me, then I will call the young lady Tuantuan sister." My maiden name is a Qin character, Sister Tuan Tuan calls me Qin'er. β
"Qin'er."
"Sister Tuantuan!"
The two called each other out, looked at each other and smiled.
opened the conversation, and the two talked eloquently.
is a slow-burning temperament, and Wen Qin has been left in the old house all the year round, and he treats people and things after planning, that is, he has to think about it several times before he does it.
Wen Qin poured a pot of hot tea in Ning's house, and saw that it was already noon before he got up to say goodbye.
This time, Shen Tuantuan didn't stop him.
Since getting on the boat, Wen Qin feels that it is rare to be comfortable today, Shen Tuantuan is casual, and he speaks straightforwardly, which is much easier to guess than the little lady and little woman of the official eunuch next to him, Wen Qin is rare not to think about those crooked, he is happy and relaxed.
As for the matter of asking for a little pickle, Wen Qin didn't think of it until he returned to his house, and in the face of Xiangye's helplessness, Wen Qin smiled rarely, "Good Xiangye, I was wrong." As for pickles, I'm lucky to get it, I'm lucky to get it, and I'm lucky to lose my life. Grandmother's place, it's a different way. β
Xiangye looked at her young lady's sleeves stained with ink, "Miss clean up first, I'll go and get a basin of water." β
It's just that as soon as Xiangye went out, he hurriedly ran back. "Miss, miss, do you know who I saw?"
Without waiting for Wen Qin to ask, Xiangye said directly: "Miss must not have guessed, I saw the mother-in-law of the Ning family, surnamed Xiao." was going to the old lady's house, and Mama Zhong politely invited people in. β
After waiting for a long time, Xiangye saw Aunt Xiao leave.
As soon as Aunt Xiao left, Wen Qin was summoned by Mrs. Wen.
Old Madam Wen pointed to the side, "These things were just sent by the Ning family, I heard that you just went to the Ning family, and you asked the young lady of the Ning family to talk?" β
Wen Qin didn't understand what Mrs. Wen meant by asking this, and after a little hesitation, she nodded.
"The young lady of the Ning family is kind-hearted, if you have free time, go to the Ning family to play more, as for the rules, I am naturally relieved of you, your mother is also from a famous family, and her daughter will naturally not be bad."
Wen Qin lowered her head, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly didn't let the tears fall, she wasn't sure if the old lady liked her granddaughter who could cry. Her mother has been gone for many years, and even she has been forgotten in the old mansion, and today I heard the old lady mention her mother again, does this mean that the old lady will take care of her in the future?
Old Madam Wen sighed, "When your mother was sick in bed, she entrusted you to me, but I, the old woman, have always been unwell, and I am sorry for your mother's ......entrustment."
"The old lady is a good grandmother, and I can't bear my mother, so I want to live in the old mansion for a while longer, thinking that I can hide from my mother for a while......"
Old Madam Wen took the opportunity to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Good boy! In the future, if your grandmother is there, you will definitely not be deceived by people. In a blink of an eye, our family's Qin'er is also a big girl, we have returned to Beijing, but some of them are busy. β
Old Madam Wen said plausibly, causing Wen Qin to blush. Mrs. Wen asked in detail about Wen Qin's time with the young lady of the Ning family, and when Mama Zhong put the meal, Mrs. Wen also deliberately left Wen Qin to eat together. "When people are old, they want to be lively, and in the future, the girl will eat with me. Looking at the little lady's delicate and pretty, my wife can still eat half a bowl of rice. β
Wen Qin looked carefully today, and the Ning family sent a lot of pickles, as well as some meat sausages, even a large piece of pork. It's a big deal.
Wen Qin served the old lady crookedly after stepping on the rest, and then went back to his room lightly, lying on the bed, thinking that the old lady Wen personally received a mother-in-law of the Ning family today, and asked carefully about the process of getting along.
After Wen Qin left, Mrs. Wen opened her eyes. "Listening to what Qin Yatou said, the young lady of the Ning family seems to be a good-natured person, a cool little woman."
"The old lady of the Ning family is straightforward, maybe she also likes the granddaughter-in-law of this character, right?"
Old Madam Wen shook her head, "If it is really straightforward, this Ning family's return to Beijing is tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth." Old lady Ning is straightforward, but she is not confused, otherwise she would not have brazenly taken the opportunity to blackmail back a daughter-in-law for her son......"
"Xu is because Mrs. Ning is sick in bed, and the Ning family has to go back to Beijing? And isn't there still the Mu family? β
Old Madam Wen smiled, "Also, isn't there still the Mu family." Now, today's saints have a lot of trust in the Mu family, and the south and west have changed their cronies, and only the Mu family has a heavy army and lingers in Beijing. A well-deserved first celebrity before the saint. β
