Entering the dining room, Zhang Caixia has been standing diligently behind the old lady.

Indeed, as Aunt Mei said, she is much more enchanting now.

A large-sleeved flag suit in purple silk, with a lilac-colored gown embroidered with gold embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern on the outside, slightly revealing the soft brocade shoes with a curled head inside.

The black hair is still curled into two heads, but there is an extra silk butterfly-shaped golden step on it, and the face is coated with grease powder, with ruby earrings the size of rice grains, which looks more and more charming and charming.

In contrast, Sizhen, who was sitting next to the old lady, although she was wearing a real red brocade jacket, was still beautiful, but she looked like she belonged to the kind of rich and dignified, and she did not have the bewitching aura that Zhang Caixia seemed to be dignified.

If you want to hook people, Zhang Caixia will hook men more, and Sizhen looks too serious.

When the people were serving their meals, a little girl reported in front of the hall door, "The master is here." ”

With these words, Sun Yanling walked in in a dashing manner, and casually handed the stone blue cloak he was wearing to a maid.

He went out to visit the old acquaintance of the Ding Domain, dressed more formally, an official uniform embroidered with cranes embroidered on a purple-red moire patch, and an official hat with red tassels and ruby top beads, with peacock feathers on the hat, and the indescribable wealth was compelling.

In addition, he is tall and handsome, Kong Meng is powerful, and he actually wears a first-class civil official uniform with a heroic and extraordinary temperament.

After coming in, Sun Yanling saluted the old lady first, his eyes fell on Sizhen, and after smiling at her, he asked Brother Ze'er, "Are you well-behaved here, have you made trouble with grandmother?" ”

Brother Ze has seen Sun Yanling little in the past two years, but listening to his gentle tone, and then remembering the little wooden horse he brought to him two days ago, he nodded with his fingers in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to ask Sun Yanling to hug him.

Sizhen touched Cheng Ze's hair with a smile, and said gently: "Brother Ze wants to be hugged by his father, so he wants to open his mouth." ”

Ze Ge'er didn't speak, only stretched out his hand. Sun Yanling held him in his arms and said with a smile: "When he wants to speak, he will naturally speak." ”

Sizhen was a little worried, Ze Ge'er was almost two years old, he seemed to be dumb on weekdays, and he refused to say a word, when other people's children were so old, they could say a lot of words, and they invited the doctor to see it, and they all said that it was no problem, and the doctor laughed and said that it was "the noble man was late", but they all understood that this was just a comfort.

If I hadn't heard him babble at the parrot under the porch, I would have thought he was dumb.

After holding his son, Sun Yanling asked him again: "Are you good today?" ”

Seeing Brother Ze nestled in Sun Yanling's arms, his eyes rolling darkly, Sizhen held one of his arms and said in his place: "We are so well-behaved, grandmother also gave us Brother Ze candy to eat." ”

Aunt Mei saw that since Sun Yanling came in, Zhang Caixia's expression had obviously become reserved, but her eyes always looked at Sun Yanling involuntarily, so she secretly pouted The old lady took Zhang Caixia's hand and said with a smile, "...... There are guests at home, and I don't know how to say hello? ”

Sun Yanling was a little stunned, although he had only been back for a few days, and Zhang Caixia was not common, but he knew that she had been accompanying the old lady, and the food and clothing were also provided by their house, so she had the posture of staying for a long time, how could she become a guest?

But he didn't care much about it, and greeted Zhang Caixia as usual, and said with a smile: "Grandmother has Cousin Lao with her these days, and it's been hard work." ”

Zhang Caixia's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she lowered her head and bowed in salute.

Previously, she maintained her young and beautiful appearance, thinking that although she was a widow, she would marry a house or steproom if she had a good family background, and she would be a decent lady, but in the past two years, no one who wanted to marry her could compare to Sun Yanling's current wealth.

heard that Sun Yanling became a concubine and a general in Guangxi, and she was even more concerned about the old lady's proposal to marry into the Sun family as a concubine.

Perhaps because she has been used to being a superior over the years, she faintly feels that her cousin, who used to be just outstanding, is a little different from before, not only has a good skin, but also has a kind of prestige that makes her feel intoxicated.

Aunt Yu and Aunt Mei glanced at each other, and both quietly remembered Zhang Caixia's every move in their hearts.

Sizhen didn't care, smiled and helped Ze Ge'er put a braised small yellow croaker in the bowl, carefully picked the thorns, and told her, "Be careful when eating, spit it out if you feel a thorn, don't eat it with rice, lest the thorn can't be found." ”

Brother Ze ate fish, Sizhen looked at him, and Sun Yanling looked at their mother and son, with a slight smile in his eyes.

The old lady and Sun Yanling said: "It's all your own family, you don't have to avoid it, let's eat here tonight, it just so happens that I have something to tell you." ”

Sun Yanling glanced at Zhang Caixia, he was a man after all, and it was not appropriate for a female guest to stay here.

He frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, I have eaten at the Admiral's Mansion, you use it first, I will go back to the room to change clothes, and then come over to accompany you after you finish eating." ”

When he said this, the old lady couldn't stop him, so she only instructed again and again: "After lunch, you must come over." ”

Sun Yanling smiled and nodded, "Of course, I will definitely come over." ”

Aunt Mei suddenly stood up and said, "Lord, wait a minute." ”

She bypassed the table and hurriedly walked over to Sun Yanling.

When she left, she passed by Zhang Caixia, and it seemed that because she was walking too quickly, she didn't care about looking at the road, so she stepped on Zhang Caixia hard.

This kick is very heavy.

"Ahh Zhang Caixia suffered this kick, and her waist bent down in pain.

Aunt Mei hurriedly stopped her feet and turned around to apologize: "Cousin, I'm sorry-"

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Caixia pushed her: "You, you stepped on me again!" ”

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

If it weren't for Sun Yanling in front of her, Zhang Caixia would have wanted to jump wildly with her feet in her hands.

Aunt Mei looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't notice you next to me, you suddenly shouted, I stepped on you again, I'm really sorry-"

didn't wait for Zhang Caixia to say anything, she was already like a child who did something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by adults, with tears in her eyes.

"Cousin Caixia, I'm really sorry, I really accidentally stepped on you......"

The words were full of guilt.

"Aunt Mei, don't be too careful, you didn't mean it, my cousin has a good temperament, and I won't worry about you." Sizhen said lightly.

Aunt Mei's kick, whether intentionally or not, stepped on it so well! At least Zhang Caixia understands that in this house, she is not so easy to enter.

The rest of the room had different expressions on their faces.

The old lady was a little unhappy, but Sizhen, the housewife, had already opened her mouth, so it was not good for her to reprimand Aunt Mei again.

Not to mention that Aunt Mei has already made repeated reparations, that is, Sizhen's identity is there, she definitely can't wipe Sizhen's face in front of everyone, so she has to say with a straight face: "Don't be so reckless next time." ”

Aunt Mei bowed her head in shame and agreed.

Zhang Caixia, the little girl who was waiting on the side, helped her master to sit down on the chair next to her, listened to the old lady's words, and muttered: "Aunt Mei is obviously deliberate, how can she step on someone's feet twice?" ”

The old lady's face changed and she looked at Aunt Mei.

If it's deliberate, then she won't be taken seriously, no matter what Sizhen says, she must be disciplined.

Hearing the little girl's accusation, Aunt Mei looked up blankly, with an innocent face: "I really patronized and talked to the grandfather, and I didn't pay attention to my cousin standing there, on weekdays, the people who wait for my grandmother's meal are all standing on the right hand......"

Aunt Yu also persuaded softly: "Yes, if my cousin hadn't stood in the wrong position, Aunt Mei wouldn't have been able to step on her no matter how she walked, and Aunt Mei and her cousin had no grudges, how could they deliberately step on her?" ”

"Old lady, don't blame Aunt Mei." Zhang Caixia endured the pain and said.

She took the opportunity to twist the little girl's head: "Hurry up and give Aunt Mei a compensation, no up or down, how do I teach you the rules on weekdays, the master of this house, is it your turn to speak?" ”

Aunt Mei listened to her, but just let the little girl accuse herself of making amends, and did not deny that the little girl said that she had deliberately stepped on her, and her face was slightly cold.

"My cousin doesn't have to let her and me pay for it, as long as my cousin is not like her, and thinks I deliberately stepped on you."

When she spoke, Aunt Mei's face was soft and quiet, and she didn't seem to have any emotion, but her tone was cold, obviously unhappy because she had been wronged.

Sun Yanling, who had not spoken, said: "Mei Lan, you have to be stable in the future, my cousin is my own person who doesn't care about you, you have to go outside, you are so frizzy and frizzy will cause people to misunderstand." ”

Zhang Caixia heard it, okay, no one thought that Aunt Mei deliberately stepped on her, but after hearing Sun Yanling say that she was her own person, she felt a lot better.

She couldn't find out why Aunt Mei did this, after all, the old lady hadn't told Sun Yanling yet, and she couldn't say that Aunt Mei did it on purpose because she didn't want her to marry into her as an aunt.

After thinking about it, Zhang Caixia knew that her two feet were in vain, and she was also a person who could bend and stretch, so she smiled and said: "Cousin, don't blame Aunt Mei, she is anxious when she sees you leaving." ”

"I'll arrange for someone to come over and show my cousin." Sun Yanling smiled apologetically at her.

Zhang Caixia's heart was sweet, and her smile became more and more gentle: "Thank you, cousin!" ”

Sun Yanling scolded Aunt Mei in a low voice, "Don't you have something to say to me, don't you say it yet?" ”

"The concubine has nothing to say at this time." Aunt Mei felt that she had been wronged, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Sun Yanling scolding herself, rubbing her eyes, and sulking.

"Then you wait for your grandmother to eat first, and then you can talk about it after eating." There was no emotion in Sun Yanling's voice.

If he hadn't seen Sizhen's smile at Aunt Mei, he would have scolded Aunt Mei a long time ago, how could he have time to go back and listen to her!

Aunt Mei stepped on someone, Sizhen didn't blame it at all, there must be something strange in this, he wanted to hear Aunt Mei say why.

Again, he felt a little strange that the old lady had just introduced Zhang Caixia.

Zhang Caixia didn't expect that Aunt Mei's two feet had already made Sun Yanling wary of her.

After Sun Yanling left, Aunt Yu and Aunt Mei glanced at each other, waiting beside the old lady, talking and laughing, coaxing the old lady to be happy, and did not leave any place for Zhang Caixia.
