Section 038 Snobbery

Hearing Xue Jiangwan's words, Xue Twelve was very satisfied.

But the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

The room was a little strangely quiet, and Xue Dongshu hurriedly instructed the maids to serve tea and snacks, and then invited everyone to eat tea.

"Did Sister Jiang Wan go north by boat?" Xue Dongshu saw Xue Jiangwan's embarrassment, so he talked to her, hoping that the atmosphere in the room would be lively.

Someone started, and Dong Ying also said: "I have grown so big, I have never been out of Shengjing." Sister Jiang Wan went all the way north, it must be very interesting, tell us any interesting stories, let us also have a long experience. ”

The fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, still tasted tea lightly, and her smile was alienated and arrogant.

Although the twelfth girl Xue Donglin is still arrogant and disdainful, and the fifth girl is indifferent and sparse, but the ninth girl and the eleventh girl are deliberately looking for a topic, Xue Jiangwan didn't dare to take it big, and said with a smile: "What's the interesting news?" I followed my uncle's colleague Gan's official ship north, and I was so seasick that I was drowsy every day. It took seven or eight days to get better. There are strong winds and waves along the way, and the further north you go, the more difficult it is. What was supposed to be two months has been three and a half months. The nurse did not allow me to go out to see, and I was in the cabin every day, and I dared to look at the lights on the distant shore at night......"

This is the behavior that everyone should be.

The twelfth girl, Xue Donglin, said: "That's too boring!" ”

Xue Jiangwan smiled softly, lost the embarrassment just now, and said with a smile: "Yes, it was quite monotonous and boring along the way." When we arrived in Jiangning, Lord Gan stopped the boat, so I hired a carriage with Steward Chen and the nurse to go north. My uncle wrote to Hou Ye, thinking that I must have gone all the way to Tianjin Port by water, and asked Hou Ye to send someone to Tianjin Port to pick me up. Where did I know that I came by land and missed it. ”

"No wonder!" Dong Yu also said, "I'm still thinking about how to come to ...... at this time."

"It's just right to come at this time, tomorrow is my ninth sister and Lu!" Xue Dongshu said with a smile.

Xue Jiangwan sighed: "It turns out that tomorrow is the day when the ninth sister descends, congratulations to my sister." ”

Dong Yu smiled and said thank you.

Sitting and drinking tea and eating snacks, the fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, had an inexplicable alienation from Xue Jiangwan, which made Dongyu a little strange.

's own sister, Dong Ying is clear. The fifth girl treats people coldly on weekdays, but she never gives people a look, and she will not deliberately snub anyone. If it was normal, she should have said a few perfunctory words to Xue Jiangwan with a smile.

But Xue Dongrong didn't say a word, just smiled indifferently.

The eleventh girl Xue Dongshu has always been polite, the twelfth girl is still arrogant and willful, only Xue Dongrong is abnormal.

After a cup of tea, the topic gradually shifted to the etiquette of Ji Xuan, Xue Dongshu supported twelve points of enthusiasm, Xue Jiang spoke in the evening, and the two sang and harmonized, but they did not get cold again.

Sister Dongyu, Dongrong and Sister Donglin listened more silently.

Over there, Bao Lu came to invite them, saying that the old lady had woken up, and asked the girls to sit down.

Xue Dongshu breathed a sigh of relief, she was almost out of words.

Several people hurriedly got up and went to the west room where the old lady usually lived and rested, and the second lady also came and was sitting and talking to the old lady.

There was still goose feathers and snow outside, and there was nowhere to go, so the old lady said to let the second lady and others accompany her to touch the cards.

"Grandmother, I won't either, so I'll go back first, I came to half a post yesterday, and I haven't finished writing it yet." The twelve girls were very restrained in front of the old lady, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous, she wanted to slip away when she found the opportunity.

The old lady didn't force her, and said with a smile: "Tell Jinqiu to support you, don't fall." The road is slippery, remember to wear clogs! ”

Finally, the word clogs are bitten a little tightly.

Xue Donglin hurriedly said yes, turned around and helped the maid, and walked out of Rongde Pavilion.

Dongyu is warm. The old lady heard that Xue Donglin kicked Jinqiu with clogs at the door of the Shicui Pavilion that day, and pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said Dongyu, right?

The old lady's words today are more or less teaching the twelve girls.

It's a pity that the twelve girls left in a hurry and didn't understand.

The second lady glanced at Dongyu, and her eyes flickered inexplicably. In the past, the most proud of the old lady was her daughter, Xue Dongting, who ranked fourth. Since Xue Dongting got married, the old lady has loved Dongting, and the old lady has doted on Dongting more than she did to Xue Dongting.

If it was in the past, the old lady would not have secretly taught the girl next to her in order to seek justice for the fourth lady, and would not have done such a thing that was unbalanced on the surface!

It's a pity that judging from the expressions and movements of the twelve girls, she didn't understand it at all, and the old lady wasted her thoughts.

But Dongyu understood, she never liked to watch playing cards, she snuggled up to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I also want to learn to play cards, I'll sit with you." ”

"Good, good!" The old lady laughed.

Xue Jiang's late Qing Zhan eyes stayed on Dong Yu for a moment.

She also thought that this eleventh lady, who was delicate and lived in the old lady's warm pavilion, was the most favored. It turned out that she was wrong, it was the quiet and elegant Miss Nine who was most liked by the old lady.

Thinking like this, Xue Jiangwan's enthusiasm for the eleventh girl decreased by two points.

The fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, looked at Xue Jiangwan's demeanor in her eyes, and her arrogant expression was slightly stagnant, a little gloomy.

Zhan's mother asked someone to set up a card table, Dong Ying and the old lady sat at one seat, the second lady sat at a seat, Zhan's mother and Xue Jiangwan had a seat, and the fifth girl and eleven girls had a seat.

It wasn't until Mrs. Shizi came to say goodbye that the game was dismissed.

The old lady introduced Xue Jiangwan to Mrs. Shizi, and said to Mrs. Shizi with a smile: "You help Wan'er arrange a place to live, and pick four maids from my house for her." ”

Then he said to Xue Jiangwan, "Good boy, you are temporarily wronged." At the beginning of spring next year, we will rebuild a building, and you and your eleventh sister will move in again! ”

Xue Jiangwan hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Ancestor, madam, don't bother, I can live wherever I want!" Then he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "The eleventh sister is resting here with the ancestor, and it is inconvenient for me to disturb it; I don't dare to disturb the fifth sister, if the ninth sister is spacious, I will settle down first, and then go with the eleventh sister when the new building is built, and I will save the trouble of rearranging the place for Mrs. ”

Dong Yu was stunned.

Mrs. Shizi was noncommittal, and just looked at Dongyu.

Dong Yu felt uncomfortable in her heart, her yard was full of her people. On weekdays, she is very comfortable in the Shicui Pavilion, but she will feel inconvenient when she suddenly moves someone in.

She didn't speak, but looked at the old lady with a faint smile.

When the old lady saw that Dongyu was not enthusiastic, she knew that she didn't like it, and said to Xue Jiangwan with a smile: "You have a heart!" Although you came from afar, you will also be a member of our family in the future, where can you be wronged and squeezed with Sister Yuan? ”

When Mrs. Shizi saw the old lady's statement, she smiled and said: "In the past, I have been asking people to clean the Cuiping Building where the concubine lived at home, and the places are spacious and comfortable. Sister Shu has been squeezing her mother here, so it is better to take this opportunity to move to Cuiping Building with the late girl, and then move the place when the new building is built. ”

When the old lady heard this, she bowed slightly: "It's okay, just do as you say!" ”

The eleventh girl, Xue Dongshu, hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked her, and Xue Jiangwan followed to thank her.

Xue Jiangwan's words just now, the eleventh girl had already secretly paid attention, sighed at this woman's snobbery, and wanted to climb up when she saw a high place. Xue Dongshu's heart for Xue Jiangwan had already cooled down for eight or nine minutes, but on the surface, he didn't miss a little, and he was still polite and affectionate.
