Chapter 177: Cousin Qianqian
"Wan'er, a filial piety word is bigger than the sky. My mother made me eat food, so how could I not go? ”
Song Ling has been riddled with trivial matters recently, and she lacks skills, and many things have been pressed on Zhou Jie. He led his subordinates outside for a day today, and he was already tired.
I came out of my mother and cousin's pansi hole just now, and now I have to coax Jiang Changwan with good words, I am really tired.
"I didn't say anything, if you want to eat, you can eat." Jiang Changwan said without raising his head, only picked up a pen and wrote a small word 'foolish' on rice paper.
Ya'er timidly raised her head and glanced at her father, then turned her head to look at Jiang Changwan's side face, and said, "Don't be angry." ”
"Mother is not angry." Jiang Changwan said expressionlessly.
Although Ya'er was young, she was extremely sensitive to the undercurrents between adults, and she twisted her body in Jiang Changwan's arms, got out from under her arm, and trotted to Zhou Jie's leg like a small potato.
Jiang Changwan put down her pen, got up and went to the inner room.
Zhou Jue picked up Ya'er with one hand, and the hazy and soft smoke pink curtain in the past looked very unsightly in Zhou Jie's eyes at this time, he swept the curtain open with a wave of his hand, but ripped the curtain off because of too much force.
Zhou Jue was a little unexpected, and stood a little embarrassed holding a ball of curtains.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Changwan was standing on the edge of the tea table, pouring tea for herself, and when she saw Zhou Jue tearing off the curtain, Jiang Changwan thought that he was looking at her face, and she was even more unhappy.
She put the teapot on the table, and said dissatisfiedly, "What kind of character do you want to show me?" ”
Zhou Jue was very speechless, he threw the curtain on the ground in some frustration, and said, "You are angry now, I won't argue with you." ”
"Do you not want to argue with me, or do you not want to talk to me at all?" Jiang Changwan said a little unrelentingly.
The sound of the dispute between the two of them vaguely drifted into the ears of Ruomei and Ruoquan outside the door, Ruoquan took a step forward and said lightly: "Madame has become more and more unable to suppress her temperament these days, I don't know if it has anything to do with what Dr. Wu said?" I saw that the older the young lady was, the more irritable the lady's temperament became. ”
"I think nine times out of ten it is related, sister, when will you find an excuse to go out and grab all the medicine, let's coax Mrs. to drink it." Madame's temperament is so impatient, if she loses the affection of the envoy, how can it be good? When Ruomei spoke, she pressed tightly to Ruoquan's ear, for fear of being listened to by others.
Ruoquan frowned and nodded, "The day after tomorrow, it will be my turn to rest, so I will find a reason to buy and go out to get this thing done." ”
"Sister, be careful, the old lady on the side door also has a nail, you might as well walk out from the main gate generously and be less suspicious." Ruomei went out last month to get Jiang Changwan's jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion, and she was lazy and went to the wrong door, but Jiang Changwan was called by her mother-in-law to beat her on the second day, saying that she didn't know how to spend money in moderation.
"Okay, I got it." Although it is just a medicine to regulate the body, but Mrs. Zhou's temperament is like a spring, they can be considered to be clear, this old woman loves to add oil and vinegar the most, if she knows that Jiang Changwan is taking medicine, maybe she will say something.
After Ruoquan and Ruomei finished talking, they stood back in their original places with their eyes, noses, noses, and hearts.
After a while, I saw a little maid hurrying over, "Sister, the old lady has sent someone to deliver medicine." ”
She was like a cat, quickly delivering the news, and then lightly disappeared.
Ruomei and Ruoquan glanced at the door in unison, and the voices inside gradually stopped,
"You go and block Mother Liu." Ruoquan said, Ruomei answered, and walked down the steps quickly.
Ruoquan knocked on the door in a hurry, and heard Zhou Jue say bluntly: "What's the matter?" ”
Ruoquan was afraid that the voice was too high for Mother Liu outside to hear, and he was afraid that the voice was too low for Zhou Jue to hear clearly, so he had to stick to the door tightly and said, "The old lady sent Mother Liu to send a decoction to fix the fetus." ”
Ruoquan said this, only to hear Jiang Changwan in the room say something, and then Zhou Jue said loudly: "If you don't like to drink, you don't have to drink!" Why bother yourself and me? ”
Ruoquan was anxious, but he couldn't rush in, and when he was in a dilemma, he saw that Ruomei and Liu's mother had already entered the courtyard. And the delicate woman next to Liu's mother made Ruoquan feel even more disgusted.
That woman is Zhou Jie's cousin, Sun Qianqian.
Although Ruoquan felt uncomfortable in his heart, he smiled slightly, blessed Liu's mother, and did not see a trace of abnormality on his face, and said: "Mother Liu and Miss Biao are here, and Mrs. is talking to the envoy." The slave and maid will make a noise. ”
"Why bother, the girl has a good voice, are you worried that the masters can't hear it?" In fact, Ruoquan didn't deliberately raise her voice, but this Mother Liu deliberately used words to mean her, and her own bright and piercing voice was called shaving people's ears.
Ruoquan just wanted to reply, but saw that the door was pushed open by Zhou Jie, and Zhou Jue glanced at Liu's mother with a cold face.
Liu's mother trembled in her heart and felt bad.
"Mother Liu is always yelling so much in my yard? In front of outsiders, he is not afraid of being laughed at. Zhou Jue said impatiently, and spread all the anger he had just suffered from Jiang Changwan on Liu's mother.
When Sun Qianqian heard the word 'foreigner', her eyes turned red.
As soon as Liu's mother wanted to open her mouth to argue, Zhou Jue said to Ruoquan, "Bring the medicine in." ”
Ruoquan was immediately blessed, and walked down the steps quickly, ready to take the medicine from Sun Qianqian's hand.
But Sun Qianqian didn't let go, and glanced at Liu's mother, as if waiting for her to say something to stop her.
"Young master," as soon as Mother Liu spoke, she said in the tone of an old servant, "The old lady cherishes the young lady, and the old slave wants to watch her drink it, so that she can feel at ease." ”
Zhou Jue turned around and looked at Mother Liu without saying a word. He was no longer the little son, but a tall adult man.
"Are you talking about this young lady? When I heard it, I thought it was a prisoner! Zhou Jie's tone was not salty or light, but his words were powerful.
Zhou Jue has always respected his mother, and today he was also angry with Jiang Changwan, which became powerful.
"Cousin, I have been here for so long, and I have not entered the courtyard of the young lady, nor have I spoken to her, and I really want to be close to her. Today, I heard my mother say that she was going to send tonic medicine to my sister-in-law, so I followed. This tonic is also my aunt's intention, she has to go to the small kitchen every day to watch the maids decoct the medicine, how can she refuse so much? ”
Sun Qianqian did not mention a word of filial piety, but Zhou Jue felt that her mouth was full of filial piety, and she used this word of filial piety to press herself.
Madame coaxed Ya'er to sleep and left the medicine behind. She is a quiet person, and if you want to visit, you need to inform in advance, don't come rashly. Zhou Jue said that, and didn't give anyone a chance to reply, so he hurried back to the house, as if he had fled back.
Ruoquan took advantage of the fact that everyone was stunned by Zhou Jie's words, snatched the medicine from Sun Qianqian's hand, blessed Liu's mother casually, and followed Zhou Du into the house.
Mother Liu endured a breath of air, and didn't scold viciously until she got out of the yard: "It's really a good means, I was still respectful in the old lady's courtyard, and as soon as I returned to my daughter-in-law, my heart was biased after a while." What kind of lady is this! This is a vixen at all! ”
Sun Qianqian tugged at a handkerchief in her hand, thinking carefully about the few times she and Jiang Changwan had met.
Jiang Changwan's father and brother have always been used in the court, and they have grown up with thousands of pets, and they are all in the style of a concubine. At a glance, there is always a feeling that I don't take myself seriously.
Sun Qianqian inexplicably had a feeling that if she wasn't her aunt's cronies, Jiang Changwan would be able to tolerate herself.
She is the concubine of the family, and she is just a cousin with no blood connection with Zhou Jue. It's only because her mother-in-law's daughter married early, and she has no available people in her hands, so it's Sun Qianqian's turn.
Picking Sun Qianqian also has appearance considerations, Jiang Changwan is soft, gentle and lovely, and Sun Qianqian's appearance is also the same kind of charm, not inferior to her, but she is slightly thinner, and her waist is thin like willow branches.
"Why doesn't the girl speak? But was scared by the young master? Mother Liu looked at Sun Qianqian's silent side face and said.
"No," Sun Qianqian didn't want to leave an impression of success for Liu's mother, and said busily: "I just think that my cousin really loves Madame, I, I'm afraid that I can't follow the old lady's path, even if I am forced to go over, if Madame also gives me a drink of avoidance soup, how can this be good?" ”
"How?! She's just because she knew our young master earlier, so she has some affection. But how can this thing last for a long time? You need to come up with that water grinding effort, and naturally there will be times when you come out. When the young master accepts the girl, are you still worried that our old lady will not support you? Liu's mother said quite firmly, which made Sun Qianqian's heart loose and tight.
As soon as the two of them left, Zhou Du poured all the bowl of tonic into a potted plant in the corner of the house.
Jiang Changwan had been in the house just now, listening to the wit coming and going outside the house, and at this time, seeing Zhou Jie's approach, it could be said that she was protecting herself everywhere, and her expression softened.
Jiang Changwan was just about to step forward to say a few words, when she heard Zhou Jue throw out a sentence behind her back, "I still have official business to deal with, let the small kitchen send the noodles to the study." Then he left.
Ruoquan didn't want to interject, but saw Jiang Changwan soften on the couch after Zhou Du left, and began to cry.
Ya'er had already let the nurse take her away, and Ruoquan persuaded softly: "Madame, don't cry, don't you know the nature of the envoy?" It's a soft and not hard, you talk to him well, and it's okay to talk about it. ”
"He's annoyed with me, he's complained about me!" Jiang Changwan cried and said.
"No, it won't. You are the only one in your heart, otherwise how can you protect you like this? Don't cry, just coax it. You can't keep this pimple until tomorrow! Ruoquan spoke bitterly, and finally coaxed Jiang Changwan to stop crying.
