Chapter 16: The Concubine
Mama Zhao's voice gradually drifted away, and the big and small maids in the room were silent, but Cheng Jin ate several dim sum fruits one after another as if nothing happened, and saw that the mother-in-law in the kitchen happened to deliver food, so he ordered, "Let people set the meal, I'm hungry." ”
Cheng Jin was born with divine power and a large amount of food, Qingping had long been used to it, so she neatly withdrew the snacks and filled the table with the meals sent from the kitchen.
Mrs. Cheng is in charge of the house, so naturally she will not treat her children badly, Cheng Jin and their meals are the best in the house, that is, compared with the old lady, they are not bad, especially Cheng Jin here, although it is not very fine, but the fish and meat are enough, and the taste is also very much to her liking.
She is really hungry easily, and eats very quickly, as usual, a table of dishes quickly entered her stomach, but she no longer eats like the fool at the beginning, although the speed is fast, but there is a little more preciousness.
Qingping handed over coarse tea, served her to rinse her mouth, and gave her a cup of clear tea to eliminate food.
She stroked her lower abdomen, obviously ate a table of food, but it was still as flat as ever, and she didn't know where the things she had just eaten went, could it be all in this strength.
After drinking a cup of tea slowly, she only felt sleepy, and was about to rest, but she didn't wait for Hongxuan, but waited for her fourth sister Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi's biological mother, Aunt Hu, was Mrs. Cheng's dowry maid, and later carried her to the room, and after she became pregnant with Cheng Zhi, she was raised as an aunt, but because Aunt Hu was ordinary, she only gave birth to a daughter, Cheng Ping treated her only mediocre, and after having Aunt Liu, she never stepped into her yard for half a step.
Aunt Hu felt that it was hopeless to work Cheng Ping, so she devoted herself to living with Mrs. Cheng Zhiba, flattering Mrs. Cheng everywhere, not to mention Cheng Cheng and them, even Cheng Jin never slacked off when he was stupid.
Cheng Zhi went to study in the clan school early in the morning, and heard that Cheng Jin suddenly got better, and he didn't even have time to eat, so he was sent by Aunt Hu to see Cheng Jin.
"Has the fourth sister ever eaten?" Cheng Jin is not surprised, Cheng Zhi usually comes to sit with her, although the two have nothing to say, but they can stay for half a day in a daze.
Although Cheng Zhi was two years older than her, he had a cramped look of flattery, and smiled at her cautiously, obviously very curious about her, but he tried to suppress it, not daring to reveal anything, "It's already used." ”
"Then let's eat some snacks and fruits," Cheng Jin pushed the fruit box that was placed aside in front of her, and took another piece of peanut candy and put it in his mouth.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat these snacks just after lunch." Cheng Zhi subconsciously refused, looking at Cheng Jin stuffing sugar in his mouth, and took another piece with his hand, only then did he react, "Ah Jin, I didn't mean you ......"
Looking at Cheng Zhi's annoyed appearance that he was about to bite off his tongue, Cheng Jin laughed, "I know, I have a lot of strength and eat too much, but I didn't think about it, Qingping, give the fourth sister a chrysanthemum Pu'er to eat." ”
"Don't bother Sister Qingping," Cheng Zhi hurriedly waved her hand, she was used to inferiority, not to mention Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Jin, but she was very respectful to the henchmen and slaves who served them.
Qingping served the tea neatly with her hands and feet, and brought a small plate of dim sum.
"Fourth sister, these hawthorn cakes are all consumed, you can taste them."
Cheng Zhi smiled crampedly at her, she had been studying all morning, and her stomach was already empty, where did she dare to eat hawthorn cake, even chrysanthemum Pu'er tea was just taken to moisturize her lips.
But now Cheng Jin is warm and thoughtful, which makes her a little confused.
It's better to get along with the stupid and stupid Cheng Jin, at least she only needs to sit with her for an hour, even if she doesn't say a word, she can go back to deal with her aunt.
Cheng Zhi put down the teacup, took out a purse and a pair of shoes and socks with an embarrassed face, and said as if reading from the book, "You are well now, this is a great joy, and I have nothing to give you, just this hand-made purse, don't dislike it, these shoes and socks are made by my aunt, she entrusted me to give them to you, so you can try it." ”
"The fourth sister and Aunt Hu's needlework has always been excellent, you don't have to try it to know that it must be suitable, and I bother Aunt Hu to make shoes and socks for us every month, which is really unpleasant." Cheng Jin smiled and thanked him, "I don't have any good things here, but it's just some tea snacks, you can bring some back to Aunt Hu to taste." ”
Qingping got her instructions, neatly packed up the food box, wrapped half a catty of tea and handed it to Cheng Zhi's personal maid.
"I can't help it, I can't do it......" Cheng Zhi was flattered and refused, she was forced to come over by her aunt, and it was a mistake to be able to sit in the courtyard for an hour or two, if she brought something back from Cheng Jin, wouldn't it become an autumn breeze, usually if her aunt knew that she had eaten Cheng Jin's snacks here, she would have to say something, and if she really wanted to bring something back, she would be beaten again.
Cheng Jin looked at her anxious appearance, and deliberately teased her, "The eldest sister used to ask you to bring some snacks and needlework back, but I didn't see you refusing, why did you be polite when you came to me, but you saw me outside?" ”
"No, no, no......" Cheng Zhi was stupid, and she didn't know how to tell her, so she waved her hand in a hurry.
"Fourth sister, don't panic, Aunt Hu won't blame you." Looking at Cheng Zhi's pale little face, Cheng Jin probably understood her situation, Aunt Hu was not favored, so she could only make every effort to please Mrs. Cheng, and Cheng Zhi was her tool to please their children, and Cheng Zhi was such a cowardly and reticent character, I am afraid that she would be tortured by her mother.
is obviously a biological mother and daughter, everything Aunt Hu does is also for Cheng Zhi, but she is the one who hurts Cheng Zhi the most.
"Qingping, you can send the things directly to the fourth sister's yard later, say hello to Aunt Hu for me, say thank you, and say that these are the thank you gifts I gave her, thank her and the fourth sister for taking care of me all these years."
Qingping is Cheng Jin's personal maid, and she personally sent things over, so it can be seen that Cheng Jin treats Cheng Zhi kindly, Cheng Jin has received the love of their mother and daughter, and will naturally say a few kind words for them in front of Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Zhi also thought of this section, his face slowed slightly, and he glanced at Cheng Jin gratefully, snorting and not knowing what to say.
"Now that I'm good, I want to go to the clan school with everyone to study, my foundation is shallow, is the fourth sister willing to teach me every day?" Looking at the thin and thin Cheng Zhi, Cheng Jin thought of the little junior brother in his previous life, who was always so timid, and couldn't help but feel pity.
