After a long time, she sneered: "It's really like I'm a half-old, and I use this old-fashioned color to block me." With that, he threw the two pieces of cloth a few meters away, slapped his palms heavily on the desk, his fingers squeaked on the desk, his eyes widened angrily, and his expression was terrible.

The room was so silent that the maids did not dare to squeak, but bowed their heads and trembled with fear.

"Mother Wen, isn't there a lack of two curtains in the toilet? I think these two pieces of cloth are just right. ”

"Yes, the slave woman will send someone to cut it tomorrow." Mother Wen responded, picked up the cloth on the ground and put it in an inconspicuous corner.

Qilanxuan, the residence of Mrs. Sima.

At this time, it was already the end of the day, and the old lady finished dinner, half leaned on the soft couch, and did what she had to do every day - listening to Liang's mother chanting Buddhist scriptures.

As soon as Sima Guansheng entered the door, he said in a somewhat jumping and playful voice: "Grandmother, it's okay!" ”

When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly stopped playing with her rosary, sat up, and said urgently: "Is it a sheng girl?" When did you come back? Come to your grandmother, grandmother misses your suffering! ”

Sima Guansheng stepped forward quickly, walked to the soft couch, sat down next to the old lady, and grabbed the old lady's wrinkled hands tightly, "I arrived this evening, and Guansheng also misses you, grandmother!" With that, she rubbed her head into the old lady's arms, feeling the tenderness she had not seen for a long time.

At this moment, she is like a tired little lamb, lying in the arms of the mother sheep greedily enjoying the warmth of her mother.

"You girl, once you go, you won't return for dozens of days, and you don't send a letter to report your safety, which is really worrying." The old lady said in a reproachful tone as she pulled out her hand and stroked Sima Wansheng's cheek.

"It's Guan Sheng's ignorance that worries my grandmother. Next time, Guan Sheng must remember to write to report safety. ”

"And next time? Next time, I don't worry about letting you run around alone, this time I regret that my heart and liver are hurting. Hey! I haven't seen you for dozens of days, and your girl is still growing meat. The old lady's serious face suddenly flashed with a smile.

Sima Guansheng pinched his little face and muttered, "Did you grow meat?" How can I not feel it? ”

"It's normal for you to call it a 'government fan', and you can't feel it."

Sima Guansheng smiled without saying a word, beckoned Ling's mother to come to him, took a brocade box from Ling's mother's hand, took out a string of jade prayer beads from the brocade box, put it in the palm of the old lady's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, guess, what is this?" ”

The cold jade rosary, in the hand at this time, still feels a little chilly.

The old lady touched it lightly with her hand and said confidently: "The jade rosary, is it for me?" ”

"Wow! Grandmother, you're so smart. ”

"You girl, you actually made fun of me." The tone seemed to be displeased, but there was a happy smile on his face.

"Hey, hey! This is Guan Sheng went to the Great Ci'en Temple to ask for his grandmother, grandmother, you try, can you still get it? Seeing that it was about to enter summer, although the prayer beads of the Bodhi son were good, they were easy to sweat, so Guan Sheng asked for this string of jade prayer beads for his grandmother. ”

"Liang Kite, take this and put it away." The old lady handed the somewhat discolored Bodhi Zi prayer beads to Liang's mother, and began to rotate the jade prayer beads neatly.

"Grandmother, are you still handy?"

"Sheng girl personally selected, can it not be easy? You girl came back from a trip to Yongzhou, and her temperament was much more lively and cheerful. ”

"It's good to go! In the future, Guan Sheng has always been smiling like this, but does grandmother like it? ”

"Yes, of course I do." The old lady smiled from ear to ear.

"Mother Liang, there are still some ambergris and bright medicinal herbs here, you can take them alive. I'll go to the doctor another day, and you'll use it for my grandmother according to the doctor's amount. ”

Liang's mother responded, took the large bags of things from Ling's mother's hands, and put them on the table next to her.

When the old lady heard this, she frowned and said, "My body is rotten bones, and with these precious medicinal materials, isn't it a tyrannical thing." Sheng girl, don't spend all this unjust money for me in the future. Seeing that you are about to get married, spend more money on yourself, cut a few more new clothes for yourself, and make more hairpins to wear. This person, after all, is a mortal who judges people by his appearance, although you are not a golden jade outside, but you can't be a golden jade inside and outside, so that people look flat, right? Grandmother hopes that you will find a good husband and a happy life. ”

Sima Guansheng responded very reluctantly, but she disagreed with the old lady's words in every way.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, and from the old lady's mouth, she learned about Sima Daiyuan's marriage.

Coming out of Qilanxuan, the childlike innocent smile on her face was put away, and it was replaced by a melancholy face.

The trip to Yongzhou made her almost forget the most important thing. In her previous life, Sima Daiyuan dragged her to marry into the palace and treated her like a chess piece until she was destroyed.

Since she experienced it once, she must not repeat it. This matter is imminent, and she can only postpone the search for Cui's mother for the time being.

After returning to Lichun Pavilion, she has been sitting in front of the window in a daze, racking her brains to think of a complete response.

She couldn't understand why Sima Qu was also the governor of Luoyang City, so he could promise to let his two daughters serve a husband in his previous life. Sometimes, she really suspects that the words of those maids and wives behind their backs are true, she is really not Sima Qu's biological child, and Sima Qu hopes that she will have a bad time.

Lu Shi took the letter given by Liu Yuwan and did not open it privately, after all, Liu Yuwan just asked her to hand it over.

Two days later, Sima Qu returned from a business trip and was overjoyed to read the contents of the letter. But considering that Sima Guansheng is the old lady's favorite person, Sima Qu has always put filial piety first, so he didn't forget to consult the old lady first.

Qi Lan Xuan, the old lady's residence.

Sima Qu and the old lady sat opposite each other, and the two drank tea and talked at the same time.

"Mother, if Guan Sheng can climb this family business, it can be regarded as a glorious lintel." Sima Qu said, and put the teacup in his hand on the desk.

The old lady didn't respond immediately, she drank carefully with the teacup, she was blind, Liang's mother deliberately filtered the tea, removed the tea residue, and left the soup to serve her. At this moment, she looked thoughtful.

After a long time, she put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "The glorious lintel is self-wanting, but the other party's character and temperament should also be considered." Women are no better than men, if they marry a man who is a man of the world, even if the family is rich and the family is illustrious, there will be suffering. ”

"The mother said very well, the son first asked the Lu family to pay homage, and went to visit the Feng Mansion with gifts, thanking them for escorting Guan Sheng back to Luoyang. Then, he made another invitation and invited the county lord's mother and son to come to a gathering and let the mother try him. ”

"That's fine!" With that, the mother and son continued to drink hot tea.

After a while, the old lady suddenly said to Liang's mother who was waiting beside her: "Liang Yuan, you go and find me the sheng girl." ”

Liang's mother withdrew from the room in response and walked towards Lichun Pavilion.

Sima Qu and the old lady chatted for a while, and before Sima Guansheng came, he bowed to the old lady and returned to Tingxue Pavilion.

At the same time, Sima Daiyuan was heading to Lichun Pavilion with delicious pastries.

As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and asked Jade to put the pastry on the table, "Second sister, I made this for you with my own hands, try it quickly, but it still tastes good." ”

Sima Wansheng smiled awkwardly, picked up the pastries on the table and put them in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Sima Daiyuan couldn't wait to ask.

"Delicious! Delicious! Sima Guansheng nodded again and again.

When Sima Daiyuan heard this, she put away her smile and said sharply to the servants in the room: "You all go out and wait!" My second sister and I have some private things to say between sisters. ”

The maids and ladies who were waiting in the house bowed down and exited the room when they heard the words, and closed the door gently.

After the door was closed, Sima Daiyuan took out a sachet from her wide sleeves, which was embroidered by Sima Daiyuan according to the embroidery pattern she had taken from Sima Guansheng before.

She put the sachet on the table, and said with an innocent smile: "Second sister, look at the sachet I embroidered is still beautiful, I plan to give it to Brother Liyue." ”

Sima Guansheng's eyes moved to the sachet, and when he heard the words, he swallowed the pastry in his mouth in a panic, choking half to death.

"Ahem......" her cheeks flushed.

Seeing this, Sima Daiyuan hurriedly served tea and waited, and kept patting her back to soothe her.

"Second sister, are you okay?" Sima Daiyuan looked nervous and hurriedly cared about her safety. The action of patting his back in his hand has not stopped, trying to help him alleviate his symptoms.

After a while, Sima Guansheng relieved himself, patted his chest, and gasped.

"Second sister, are you better? Do you want to send someone to ask the doctor to take a look? Sima Daiyuan looked at Sima Wansheng with affectionate eyes.

Sima Guansheng avoided her gaze as much as possible, although her eyes were gentle like water, Sima Guansheng always felt a little crazy.

"It's just that I accidentally choked, it's not serious enough to ask a doctor, Sister Lao is worried."

"That's good, second sister, help me take a look, can this embroiderer still be delivered?" Sima Daiyuan returned to her seat, picked up the sachet, and handed it to Sima Wansheng.

Sima Guansheng looked at the sachet, smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a long time, and didn't stretch out his hand to take a closer look, "It's good!" In the end, she could only be so perfunctory.

"Since the second sister said that it was very good, presumably Brother Liyue would not dislike it." After that, she stuffed the sachet back into her wide sleeve, grabbed Sima Guansheng's hand and said, "Second sister, I still have something to ask for, please ask the second sister to agree." ”

Sima Guansheng looked at her eyes that were almost pleading, bit his lip, and said in a low voice: "Big sister, let's listen to it first, and see if Guansheng has the ability to help." ”

"Yes, as long as you want to, you can. You know, I only have Brother Liyue in my heart, but my father and they chose another family for me. That day, in order not to marry the Yu family, I played a trick on the son of the Yu family, if I really married the Yu family, there would definitely be no good fruit for me to eat. ”

When she said this, she paused, lowered her voice and continued: "Second sister, the son of the Yu family is a talent, and he is also full of scriptures, and he is still a jinshi in this year's Spring Palace Examination. If it weren't for the fact that I was already happy with Brother Liyue, this person could be regarded as someone who could be trusted. Second sister, why don't you marry the Yu family for me? ”
