What does it feel like to be ignored? Humiliation, anger and self-shame? So what should we do? Is it righteous indignation or hidden hatred? The answer given by Chungui was as if nothing had happened, and there were indeed no surging and complicated emotions in her chest, only the word "sure enough" resurfaced - this is in the old lady's territory, since she is regarded as Mrs. Shen's "same party", it is too normal to be ignored and despised by the characters who appear in the old lady's territory, and it is not worth making a fuss.
But the other party can ignore Chungui, but Chungui can't ignore the other party, so although the person doesn't even bother to glance at the corner of his eye, Chungui still persistently and enthusiastically "looks up" at that person.
A pine-colored thin jacket with a half-high collar auspicious cloud new, with a daylily embroidered horse-faced skirt of the same color underneath, covered with a pine-green jacket, and only embroidered with a daylily pattern at the edge collar. The black hair is knotted and the ponytail falls, and the gold wire is twisted around the yellow flowers. The eyebrows are trimmed to be slender, and only a slight depiction of snails is used to add color, and the fat powder is applied evenly, and the blush is not strong and thickened.
High cheekbones, shallow eye sockets, like a stern appearance that does not smile.
Although it was said that during the long journey from Fenyang to the capital, the itinerary was empty, and Chun Hui humbly asked Lan Ting for a lot of skills about physiognomy, but at the moment, she really did not have the ability to integrate the qi, bones, gods, appearance, etc., and "admired" the woman for a long time, and she could not summarize her mental character, but she could only deduce her identity from her dress and age.
Sure enough, I saw Lan Tingli and said, "Second aunt." ”
Chun Gui was also busy with the ceremony, she lowered her eyes, but she felt that she was finally no longer ignored by the second aunt, but she felt that two yin winds blew coldly from her forehead, and she knew that it should be her unscrupulous look earlier that angered her, and this time the disgust was deeper.
He hurriedly raised the harmless smiling faces of humans and animals, and responded to the gloom with brightness -
At this moment, from the mouths of Mrs. Shen and Lan Ting, Chun Gui has a general understanding of the personnel of the Taishi Mansion, and knows that the old lady Zhao has two sons, the eldest Zhao Jiangcheng is the father of Lan Ting, and the second Zhao Zhoucheng marries his wife Peng, and his mother is the old lady's best friend.
The person in front of him should be the second lady Peng, who is undoubtedly the second lady.
Although the second lady is just an aunt, Chungui only needs to be respectful, and there is no need to be as obedient as her mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, but who makes the ancestors of the family the most popular among so many daughters-in-law is Peng's, now the eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Shen is far away in Fenyang, and the housework is handed over to the second aunt to be responsible for management, no matter how picky the second aunt is, it is always good to take the initiative to show favor in Chungui, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, especially when meeting for the first time, as a junior, how can he be arrogant and rude in front of the elders.
However, although Chungui's smiling face was sincere, Aunt Peng's expression was still not gentle, but seemed to be disgusted by this smiling face, and she was more and more unwilling to see her, the orphan daughter and nephew of the down-and-out family, in the hot weather, her face seemed to be frozen, even if she spoke to Lan Ting, she was "nourishing" and bubbling out cold: "Brother Ting'er came to the grandmother's courtyard to worship him when he arrived at home, which is a filial piety and obedience. Still don't forget to explain that if Brother Ting arrives home, don't let you wait here, you have been working hard all the way, go back to the courtyard to clean up and rest, and come over to accompany her old man to eat at night. ”
"Grandmother Jade is unwell?" Lan Ting asked.
The second lady let out a long sigh, and her cold gaze swept back again, intentionally or unintentionally: "No, since I received the letter from Brother Ting from Fenzhou, although I know that my uncle's health has finally improved, the old lady recites 'Amitabha Buddha', but I heard that your life's major event is such a hasty and hasty decision, how can the old lady not be worried?" Since that day, she has not thought about tea and dinner, and the old lady can understand that her sister-in-law is worried about her uncle's well-being, and she only grieves that Brother Ting has been wronged. ”
In order to persuade Lan Ting to marry the spring return of Zheng Zheng and filial piety in Fenyang, Mrs. Shen was also deliberate, under the guise of "Chongxi" for Zhao Jiangcheng, who could not afford to be ill, and insisted that it was the method of relieving misfortune pointed out by the abbot of Longling Temple, and this set of rhetoric would of course be explained to the old lady as it was, but the old lady had already made up her mind to marry the granddaughter of the Duke of Jin for Lan Ting.
As the old lady's most powerful daughter-in-law, Peng's naturally will not be of the same heart as Mrs. Shen's concubine, although she is not good at directly reprimanding her sister-in-law's ill intentions, but it is necessary to snub the spring return, on the one hand, it is to show favor to the old lady, on the other hand, she is also convinced that Lan Ting was forced to marry an orphan girl from a broken household, of course, she will resent her stepmother for her insidious and cunning, and she lost a good relationship with the Jin State Mansion.
How did Lan Ting say: "Even if this is the case, I don't know if I have asked Imperial Doctor Gao to diagnose my grandmother's pulse?" What did Doctor Gao say? ”
This is a heart disease, what is the use of Doctor Gao?
Peng choked up before he thought about how to phrase it: "Although Imperial Doctor Gao is close friends with our family, but now after all, he is in the important position of the hospital envoy, and the old lady also said that although she is unwell, it is not a critical symptom, and she does not want to bother Imperial Doctor Gao to come to consult ......"
Before she finished speaking, Lan Ting said again: "Fortunately, Azhuang also returned to the capital with me, so I will send someone to call him over to diagnose my grandmother." ”
Peng's heart was irritable, like a few puffs of smoke in the body, and secretly wondered that our uncle has always been a scheming city, why can't he hear the meaning of my words today? Where is the old lady sick, she just wants to give Gu a slap in the face, and even bring Shen Shi a big-eared scraper to pull back a game.
Her face became even more cold: "Brother Ting'er, don't be busy with these things, anyway, I and my two younger sisters-in-law are at home to comfort and caress the old lady to recuperate, although it is not completely recovered after these days, it has eased a lot, there is no big problem, you just listen to the old lady, go back to the hospital to rest quickly, and come back to ask later." ”
Lan Ting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "My father and wife are far away in Fenzhou, and a few uncles and aunts have taken care of the affairs of the family, so Ting will obey the kindness of the elders and only come to ask my grandmother about her health at dinner." He first saluted the second lady, and at the same time signaled Chungui to follow suit.
He also said that although Chungui said nothing on the side, he also understood what the second lady meant, and obviously wanted to send Lan Ting back to the courtyard to rest and leave her here to wait and ask. Unexpectedly, after a few words of nonsense, Lan Ting's son motioned for her to smear oil under her feet and slip away, Chun Gui hesitated a little and decided to accept Lan Ting's kindness.
As soon as the second lady saw that Chungui really had the courage to slip away, the dark fire in her heart suddenly burned: "Brother Ting's children's courtyard has its own Mother Cao and Herou to serve and take care of it, and there is no need to work Gu Niangzi for a while, but the old lady is in front of her, and Gu Niangzi is a junior, so she should serve and serve her duty." ”
Chungui sighed secretly, and almost couldn't resist the small action of touching the bridge of her nose, she knew that she was not so easy to fool.
It's just that the second lady actually called her "Gu Niangzi", as if she didn't treat her as a nephew and daughter-in-law, could it be that this marriage that the Ming media is marrying is still changing here with the old lady? Things are in trouble, showing flattery should not work, maybe there will be a tough battle to bear.
Chun Gui was already bowing her eyebrows and preparing to accept the teachings, but Lan Ting was in front of her again: "Grandmother and the second aunt can understand the tiredness of Lan Ting's travel, so why should they use the etiquette to find fault with Chun Gui?" Since my grandmother was resting for a while, it was inconvenient to disturb her, so she bathed and changed her clothes before returning from spring, and then came to serve and serve her duty. ”
actually expressed the meaning of maintenance so strongly, and once again made Chungui stunned.
"Brother Ting?!" What was even more shocked was the second lady, only then did she look at Chun Gui with her eyes, and the corners of her lips were a little curvature, but what was revealed was cold and snarky: "It's me who has something to tell Gu Niangzi, after all, although Gu Niangzi is a newcomer, the rules in the Taishi's Mansion should be understood." ”
"I don't have to worry about the second aunt." Lan Ting still didn't give an inch: "The personnel rules of the family have their nephew to inform the spring return." ”
Spring Return: ......
After only a slight hesitation, he decided to still follow Lan Ting's footsteps and leave.
But when she turned around, she saw that Qu Chu had been standing in the courtyard at some point, and one person, one soul and two pairs of eyes met, and they both understood each other's meaning.
The spring return and the canal passed by, and they didn't look back.
