Chapter 30: Drinking Tea
"Thank you for your second uncle's concern, the scenery on the village is open and the scenery is pleasant, but it is different from Jinling, and it is not interesting. So it's kind of fun. Tong Jiayan smiled slightly, "I just arrived home today." ”
"Oh, is it? Then next time, I'll go to live in Bezhuang. Second Master Tong turned his head with a smile and raised his eyebrows at the second wife, "Just take you to take a walk together, just the two of us." ”
The second wife's face flashed shyly, and she glared at him with disgust: "In front of the child, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Second Master Tong glanced at Tong Jiayan, she had already turned her head to look away, and she didn't seem to pay attention to what they were just saying.
The second master Tong and the second wife Luo are childhood sweethearts and sisters, and they have been married for several years, but their relationship has always been like honey blending oil, and they can't tolerate others intimately.
At this moment, the voices of the maids asking the old lady and the old lady in unison suddenly came from outside.
Whether it was the eldest lady and the eldest young grandmother who were greeting the table in the Ming Hall, or the second master Tong and others who were waiting in the east room, they all moved when they heard the sound, stood up, and went to the door of the flower hall to greet them.
Tong Jiayan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, standing at the back of the crowd, looking at the real person in charge of the Tong family who was walking in the door - her grandfather and grandmother.
The maids came in with food boxes, and the old lady Tong sat down in the main seat first, and the old lady Tong sat next to him, and then he looked up at the crowd: "Sit down." ”
One by one, everyone took their seats.
After seeing that there were still two vacant seats, Mrs. Tong frowned and asked the eldest lady: "Who else hasn't come?" ”
The eldest lady hurriedly stood up and replied: "It's Jia Yao and Jia Jing, Jia Yao's bun was a little loose on the way here, so she was dressing up again." You know, she has always been the most well-behaved, paying attention to dignification, and she is afraid that her hair will be rude in front of her elders if she has her hair in an untidy bun, so it is a little late. He added casually, "Jia Jing is accompanying her." ”
Tong Jiayan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the eldest lady.
Although this sentence is to explain the tardiness of the two children, the focus is all on Tong Jiayao.
The second wife, Luo Shi, was about to speak, and a maid came to the door to report: "Second Miss, Sixth Miss is here." ”
The eyes of everyone in the room looked at the door at the same time.
I saw two little girls combing their hair in the same bun, holding each other's arms, and walking in in unison.
After greeting the elders, Tong Jiayao happily walked up to Mrs. Tong, her eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Grandmother, are the newly combed buns of my sixth sister and I look good?" ”
If you want to ask Mrs. Tong who her favorite son is, it must be Tong Changning, the second master of Tong.
Love the house and Wu, the pair of children born by the second master Tong are naturally quite loved by Mrs. Tong.
Sure enough, Mrs. Tong nodded and smiled: "Good looking is good-looking, why do I see, you two have the same hair?" ”
Tong Jiayao glanced back at Tong Jiajing and said with a smile: "Grandmother is really as wise as a torch, she can see it at a glance." This is the same as my sixth sister and I, thinking of surprise my grandmother. ”
Mrs. Tong was coaxed by her and laughed.
Roche smiled and said, "Come and sit down to eat, and let you keep talking like this, your grandmother will be coaxed by you." Why is my mother with you every day, and I don't see how you coax me? After speaking, he pretended to complain to Mrs. Tong, "What else do you say that my daughter is a little padded jacket that is intimate to my mother, I see that this girl in my family didn't make me a little padded jacket, but I want to be a little padded jacket for my mother!" ”
Mrs. Tong protected Tong Jiayao and said, "What? You are a mother, and you even want to eat my vinegar? ”
Luo Shi smiled and said: "How dare my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law wishes she would do her best for me in front of my mother." ”
As soon as the call was finished, Mrs. Tong asked the maid to set up a place beside her for Tong Jiayao to sit.
Luo Zhi saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't hide his smile.
Tong Jiajing sat down next to Tong Jiaqi, Tong Jiaqi twisted her body, sat farther away from her, and glanced at Tong Jiayao, who was serving vegetables to Mrs. Tong, and glanced at the corners of her mouth disdainfully.
After a while, he accidentally bumped into Tong Jiayan.
Tong Jiaqi was stunned.
Tong Jiayan smiled at her, she glared at her, and then turned her face away.
Tong Jiayan smiled lightly, not looking at her, but concentrating on lowering his head to eat.
After the meal, Mrs. Tong left her alone to speak.
"In a few days, your father and they will be back."
Tong Jiayan pretended to hear about this for the first time, and raised his head in surprise: "Really? Father, they're coming back? ”
Old lady Tong looked at her.
If he said that among the ladies of the Tong family, he had always thought that Tong Jiaxin, born to Aunt Luo in the third room, was the best-looking, but now that he looked closely, he felt that the little seventh in front of him seemed to grow better than Tong Jiaxin.
Especially her elegant temperament.
It's rare to see it in a child.
"Well, your father has already sent a letter, and will be home soon. He didn't know about your previous mistake and being punished to Zhuangzi. I discussed with your grandmother that I don't need to tell him about it. Your father was the most just and strict man, and if he knew that you were doing something with your sister, he would have punished you. The matter has passed, and you have learned a lesson, so you should be more careful yourself, so that you and your grandmother and I don't help you hide it from him in front of him, but you leak it yourself. Old lady Tong said with a look of advice.
Tong Jiayan lowered his head, looked at the square inch under his feet, and sneered in his heart.
Are they helping her hide it, or are they trying to help hide it themselves?
Some people tell lies, but they really don't blush.
She replied in a low voice, "Granddaughter knows." ”
Only then did the old lady Tong wave her hand and let her go back.
After Tong Jiayan left, Mrs. Tong went to deal with Mrs. Tong with satisfaction.
"It's all explained, she knows everything, she shouldn't say anything, you can rest assured."
Old Lady Tong snorted: "I have something to worry about." ”
Old lady Tong leaned over funny: "Aren't you afraid that the third child will blame you?" ”
Mrs. Tong sneered: "I'm his mother, he dares to blame me?" ”
Old lady Tong sat down on the side, put her chin on her hand and said, "He really dares, the third child is not close to us." ”
Speaking of this old lady Tong, a nameless fire burned in her heart: "It's not all your old immortal mother-in-law!" ”
"Hey, hey, okay, okay, why did you start scolding your mother again." Old lady Tong waved her hands and sat up, "What is old and immortal, isn't she dead for several years......" After speaking, he slapped his mouth again, "Tsk, blame me for owing it, it's okay to mention what she does!" ”
Glancing at Mrs. Tong, she felt that she couldn't get rid of her anger for a while, and Mrs. Tong hurriedly ran out.
"I'm going out to walk the birds, and I'll come back in the evening to bring you pig's trotters."
The black figure quickly disappeared into the main room.
Angry, Mrs. Tong slapped the table and knocked over a cup of tea.
