Chapter 10: The Sudden Snake
Chen Zhuzhu sneered at the so-called women of the family who kept screaming, they were so frightened that their faces were discolored, and their original delicate makeup became embarrassed.
An Lingyu looked vigilant, took half a step back, and secretly made eagle claws with both hands, ready to give the snake a blow when it pounced. She took a closer look at the viper, which was usually triangular in cross-section and had a pointed tail.
But this head is oval, and the neck is not clearly distinguished, and this snake is smooth, only the poisonous fangs in the mouth are looming. Moreover, Mrs. Chen's house is in the villa area in the center of the city, and there are servants cleaning every day, how did the poisonous snake appear?
Squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile that seemed to be nothing, so that's what happened.
"Miss Red Tears, be careful, this snake is the closest to you." Chen Zhuzhu held her head high and stood in front of a bunch of strong servants, just to prevent them from helping An Lingyu.
While Chen Zhuzhu was speaking, the snake flashed like lightning less than a meter away from Chen Zhuzhu, and then was grabbed by someone seven inches.
Chen Zhuzhu was frightened into a cold sweat, "Ah! After screaming, he sat on the ground for a long time and couldn't speak, just now, if it wasn't for this girl's quick hands and quick eyes just now, I was afraid that it would be her who bites.
"Zhuzhu! Zhuzhu, are you alright? ”
When the snake was not five meters away from An Lingyu, Mrs. Chen couldn't find it at all, and when she saw that her baby daughter was almost bitten, she pounced like crazy, groping up and down to see if Chen Zhuzhu was intact.
Su Yu snorted disdainfully, threw the vegetable green snake he had pinched to the ground, clapped his hands, and retreated behind An Lingyu and stood silently.
An Lingyu glanced at her appreciatively, she didn't expect this little girl to be so good, it seems that it is very correct to take her by her side.
"It's just an ordinary green snake, it's not very poisonous, it doesn't hurt much, you don't have to. There is a snake soup in the Manchu and Han banquets, which is made of chicken bones, phoenix-pickled civets, snake bones, etc., stewed into a broth, and then thickened with egg whites and starch, and finally made by adding shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded turtle fish belly, and shredded fungus. ”
An Lingyu looked at Chen Zhuzhu and Mrs. Chen with a smile in her mouth, Chen was too embarrassed, and helped Chen Zhuzhu up from the ground and said a little unkindly: "I did prepare snake soup and civet cats today, thank you Miss Red Tears for your maid today." ”
"No need to say thank you, I just hope that next time Mrs. Chen can put away all the snakes and stop coming out to scare people, otherwise everyone will not dare to come to Mrs. Chen's house, hehe."
An Lingyu said this jokingly, Mrs. Chen's face was very ugly, is this a sarcasm for the poor security at her home? It's not her turn to be a dancer to speak!
"This doesn't bother Miss Red Tears, Zhuzhu was frightened in order to protect you, I'll send her back to the room, Mother Li, you see what you need, let the third aunt prepare for everyone."
Mrs. Chen didn't pay attention to An Lingyu at all, although several ladies of the family hated the appearance of snakes in Mrs. Chen's house, but seeing An Lingyu, who was in the limelight, became disgraced, they all laughed secretly.
Seeing that a servant was about to take away the dead snake, An Lingyu kindly reminded: "Be careful not to touch its teeth, this poisonous tooth has not been pulled out." ”
The face of the young lady of the family changed all of a sudden, among them, Jiang Sisi of the Jiang family was quite old, and after tidying up her appearance, she stopped Mrs. Chen, who was about to leave, and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Chen, should you give us an explanation?" How can there be a vegetable green snake in the kitchen in the back garden? Although it was just an ordinary snake that was not very venomous, its fangs were not pulled out. ”
"It's because of the snake that it was delivered, and the snake soup that Miss Red Tears just said must be made of fresh snakes, so the snake is not dead and has not had time to deal with it. The ladies were frightened, they were old and didn't take care of them. ”
Mrs. Chen didn't know when she arrived, and her head was replaced with a gold inlaid cat's eye gemstone, and the cat's eye was more transparent against the black satin. Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth when she saw the forehead, which was made by the second aunt for Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen is threatening her.
Jiang Sisi smiled and said: "The old lady Grandma Chen is serious, everyone is fine, but Zhuzhu was scared, and Mrs. Chen said that she would take her back to the room to rest." ”
Chen Zhuzhu also saw the wiping of her forehead, and she stood up straight: "I'm fine, my mother doesn't have to snub the distinguished guest for me." Also, thank you, Miss Red Tears. ”
Biting her lip, she knew that the snake was not something she could play with at will, if it weren't for the agile maid, it is estimated that she would have died under the mouth of the poisonous snake.
"Miss Chen doesn't need to say thank you, she should be." An Lingyu smiled and blessed her body and returned the gift to Chen Zhuzhu. Gentle and generous, the people around changed their views on An Lingyu.
I thought that Chen Zhuzhu would be sarcastic about her like that, but I didn't expect to forgive her like this, and they all looked at each other for a while and didn't react.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, Mrs. Chen straightened her clothes, coughed lightly, and said, "Since Zhuzhu is fine, everyone will follow me to see an ancient painting collected by my master recently, right?" It is said to be Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu". ”
"Really? Tang Bohu's paintings are extremely rare, and Master Chen is really amazing! The little girl in the pink dress in front of her was discussing in a whisper, An Lingyu also heard it, her heart moved slightly, she also wanted to see Tang Bohu's real works.
Soon everyone was in the living room, and the girls were chattering louder and louder. Mrs. Chen was slightly unhappy, but this was also to cover up the incident, so she had to greet her with a smile.
Mrs. Chen gathered the shawl on her body, asked the servants to take care of the young ladies, and then put on gloves and took out the painting.
With a length of 122.8 centimeters and a width of 57.2 centimeters, Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduantu" is very precious. Mrs. Chen opened it carefully, and everyone gathered around and discussed it in a whisper. An Lingyu also watched carefully, and couldn't help touching it.
This drawing paper...... Wrong!
"Huh? What are you doing? Haven't seen it? Don't mess around, you know what you know. The little girl in the pink dress before came over and squeezed An Lingyu away, inadvertently saw the tourmaline bracelet in her hand, and glanced at it several times with envy.
"This painting is a fake."
Mrs. Chen raised her head suddenly, looked at An Lingyu with an undoubted unkind face, and said coldly: "What does Miss Red Tears mean?" Listening to this, it is as if you have watched Tang Bohu paint with your own eyes. ”
