Chapter 160: Wu Niang asks for help
It turns out that this Miss Chen Simin is from this family.
"My sister is the third lady of the Wang family?" Chen Simin looked at Sanniang in surprise when he heard this, of course, the focus was on her face.
Now that the times have changed, Sanniang is naturally not afraid of their scrutiny, so she stood there without a red face and a heartbeat for Mama Xu and Chen Simin to take a good look.
"I also heard my grandmother mention my sister last time, and at that time I said that the rash on my face was very serious and could ruin my ......" Chen Simin paused: "I don't want to, but it's all right?" Look, there's not a trace left. ”
Mama Xu had seen Sanniang's face at the beginning and remembered it deeply, so it was naturally a little surprising to see Sanniang's smooth and delicate face today.
Yuan Niang saw the two staring at Sanniang's face unscrupulously, a little unhappy, she had heard Sanniang and them lightly mention the poisonous gas on her face when she was in Feicheng, and at that time, she saw that there were no traces on Sanniang's face, so she felt that it might not be too serious. Listening to these two today, I realized that Sanniang's face at that time must have been very shocking.
Therefore, Yuan Niang felt very pity for this cousin in her heart, thinking that she had no mother, and no one cared about such things as a serious illness, so that she could be discovered by outsiders, and her eldest sister's sense of responsibility came out again.
"What's so strange about that? There are many things that are easy to cause poisonous gas in summer, and the third sister of that day is just a symptom caused by water and soil adaptation, and this symptom comes and goes quickly, so naturally the poisonous gas will disperse after leaving the place. Well, we've been standing here for a long time. A few sisters haven't sat down to have a cup of tea yet, don't let people blame us for not knowing etiquette, third sister, let's go sit over there with the sisters. Yuan Niang didn't want Sanniang to let them look at them here anymore, so she led a few people to the side hall.
Mama Xu was just surprised just now. Seeing that Yuan Niang said this, she naturally smiled and saluted, and retreated. And that's how the laughing episode passed.
A few people sat on the side, Yuan Niang beckoned the little maids to bring tea up, and then casually looked around the hall and suddenly frowned: "Huh? What about the five sisters? ”
Sanniang also looked around the room when she heard this. Seeing that Erniang was chatting and laughing with two strange little guests, although Siniang and Liuniang were standing among the cousins, the two would bite their ears from time to time to exchange a few words. I'll take a few more looks. They were looking at the sixth cousin Wang Qi.
Only Wu Niang is nowhere to be seen.
"Did you see where Miss Fifth went?" Yuan Niang asked a maid who had been waiting in the hall with a tea tray. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
"Back to the eldest miss, the fifth miss just walked out alone, just when you and the third miss entertained a few young ladies." The maid replied.
"She doesn't entertain guests, why do you go out?" Yuan Niang looked at Sanniang and wondered.
"The slave saw a maid come over and handed something to the fifth lady." The maid tilted her head and thought for a while: "But that maid and slave look at it, it doesn't look like it is in our house." ”
Sanniang groaned secretly when she heard this.
"Okay, I got it. Go down. Yuan Niang waved the maid away, turned her head and whispered to Sanniang: "I sent someone to find the fifth sister, she has always been playful." Don't run out to play on such a critical day, if people see it and tell your grandmother, she will definitely not have good fruit to eat. ”
Sanniang smiled: "Although the fifth sister is naughty on weekdays. But it's not an ignorant person, big sister, why do you manage her so tightly? I think it may be that my aunt sent someone to call her out, presumably for the sake of the birthday gift, big sister, you don't have to worry. ”
Yuan Niang shook her head and laughed when she heard this: "What you said is also true, I am worrying nonsense." That's it, and if she hasn't come back later, I'll find someone to look for her. ”
Sanniang nodded, but said seriously: "Big sister has always cared about taking care of her younger sisters, how can she be careless?" The younger sisters all know their sister's kindness in their hearts. ”
Yuan Niang smiled when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed.
It's just that this time Wu Niang went out for a long time and didn't come back, and when Yuan Niang once again proposed to send someone out to find it, San Niang didn't stop it again. It's just that the girl next to Yuan Niang came back in less than a moment, and it was no one else who came in behind her, but a little maid next to Wu Niang, who seemed to be called a clove.
The maid followed Yuan Niang's maid over, and Yuan Niang had also seen her, so she frowned and said, "Where is your young lady?" Why have you been out for so long and haven't come back? But what happened? ”
The little maid looked at Yuan Niang and looked at Sanniang, and said, "My aunt just sent someone to ask her to go to the garden, for the birthday gift." ”
Yuan Niang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "It's enough to find someone to find the birthday ceremony, let your young lady come over to entertain the guests quickly." There are a lot of people outside, and there may be some male guests who are close to the family. ”
The little maid hesitated for a moment when she heard this, but she looked at Sanniang and said, "Our young lady sent me to find Third Miss, saying that there is something to discuss with Third Miss." ”
Yuan Niang looked at Sanniang when she heard this, and Sanniang pondered for a while and said, "If your young lady has something to ask me to go out, you can tell me in detail." Because there are many guests in the house today, my grandmother told me to entertain them well, if all the people in our family run out one by one, who will entertain the guests? Others will say that scanning doesn't understand etiquette. ”
Sanniang faintly brought some of her sister's style and said in a tone of lesson, as if she suspected that Wuniang was just calling her away for some unimportant reasons, and she was a little reproachful.
When the maid saw Sanniang say this, she was a little at a loss, she couldn't say a specific reason for a long time, so even the Yuan Niang on the side thought that Wu Niang was naughty and playful, and wanted to call Sanniang out to play with her.
So Yuan Niang said helplessly to Sanniang: "I said she was playful, right?" You're going to speak for her. There is a way that the country is easy, and it is difficult to change the nature. This little monkey can't be quiet for a moment, and stay well. ”
Saying that, Yuan Niang said to the little girl with a straight face: "When you go back to your young lady, you will say that I don't allow the third lady to find her." You tell her to come back and help greet the guests, or I'll tell my grandmother about her laziness and slippery behavior later." ”
What Yuan Niang said was naturally a joke, but she also had some majesty when she put on a straight face, the maid was just a newly raised little maid, and she didn't know much about the temper of several young ladies other than Wu Niang, so she took it seriously when she heard this, and immediately begged urgently: "Miss, don't tell the old lady, the slave will go and call the young lady back." So saying, he hurriedly saluted and ran away.
She made Yuan Niang stunned like this, and turned her head to Sanniang and said puzzledly: "Why is this girl so reckless?" Or am I too strict on weekdays, so that the little maids are scared when they see it? ”
Sanniang smiled: "Wu Niang must be playful, her maid is weak-hearted." The big sister is the most generous person on weekdays, and this maid doesn't know if she doesn't get along with the big sister more. Thinking about it, the fifth sister sent the big girls who started to follow her to look for the birthday gift, so she only brought the little maid with her. ”
Yuan Niang smiled and shook her head, very helpless.
The two sisters chatted with a few young ladies for a while, and it didn't take long to see Wu Niang coming back from outside, she looked around in the hall, and saw that San Niang and Yuan Niang were here, so she walked straight over.
As soon as Yuan Niang saw her, she pulled her aside with a straight face and whispered: "Fifth sister, don't you know what day it is?" It's okay if you're greedy for fun on weekdays, why are you still so ignorant today! ”
Wu Niang didn't respond with a smile like in the past, grimacing behind her back, but reluctantly smiled: "Big sister, you will teach me a lesson later, I came to find the third sister to have something." ”
Yuan Niang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What's so urgent?" ”
Wu Niang bit her lip: "It's a birthday ceremony, I want to discuss it with the third sister." Saying that, Wu Niang begged Yuan Niang and said, "Big sister, I know it's inappropriate for me to call the third sister out, can you help me cover it up?" This matter is really urgent. ”
Yuan Niang has always been generous, and there are not too many twists and turns. Therefore, seeing that Wu Niang wanted to discuss with Sanniang without telling her, she didn't feel anything uncomfortable, she just thought that Wu Niang thought that this was a matter of their third room, and didn't want to trouble her, the eldest sister of the second room.
Therefore, seeing that the anxiety in Wu Niang's eyes was not pretended, he believed her.
Wu Niang hurriedly pulled Sanniang over: "Third sister, you come out with me." ”
Sanniang glanced around, and saw that Chen Simin and Wang Qi were looking over with some curiosity, so she frowned and said, "There are so many guests, why are you so reckless to make people laugh at us?" ”
When Wu Niang heard this, she put down her sleeves and adjusted the expression on her face to make herself look more natural.
"Third sister, you come out with me, I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, Yuan Niang also said: "The fifth sister is so anxious, the third sister, you go and ask what the matter is, and I still have to entertain the guests." If my grandmother sends someone, I'll cover it up for you. ”
"Yes, yes, just for a while, and not far, right in front of my grandmother's yard. Third sister, please. Wu Niang prayed.
Sanniang looked at Wu Niang and Yuan Niang's eyes a little helpless, she knew Wu Niang's temperament, and she was the most able to stalk, if she didn't go out with her today, she could always spend it with her. Moreover, Sanniang looked at the eyes of a few people over there...... It will also make people think that she is unkind and too indifferent to her siblings.
Sanniang only nodded to Yuan Niang and followed Wu Niang out.
When she walked to Erniang's side, Sanniang stopped, and said to Erniang helplessly: "The fifth sister is afraid of grandmother's blame, so she has to drag me and my eldest sister to find a birthday gift for her." We can't resist her, the eldest sister greets the guests again, second sister, will you go with us? (To be continued)
