Chapter 31: My Aunt is Still an Older Sister
There are already a few people sitting in the main hall of the Zhou family, and the two people sitting on the main seat in front of them are round and chubby, with small eyes narrowed into a slit, and a natural face, so you don't need to guess to know that it is Zhou Su.
Sitting next to her was a thin woman, her skin almost embedded in her bones, her eyes were deep-set, her skin was pale, and her cheeks were heavily blushed to hide her paleness, which looked even more unhealthy.
Before coming, Mingyue had thought about countless scenes of meeting Yin Xian, some aunts and nephews, some bitter and mean, but she never thought that Yin Xian was a woman who had run out of oil.
The woman kept covering her mouth with a handkerchief, making bellows-like gurgling and coughing sounds, and Zhou Yi on her side frowned from time to time, obviously impatient.
On the left side of Zhou Su and Yin Xian, there is a fat boy with a round face and thin eyes, which can be seen at a glance from the outline of his face, and the portrait is very similar to Zhou Sui, which should be the legendary cousin Zhengren. It turned out that Zhou Zhengren was not only not the stupid son of the rich man's family in Mingyue's imagination, but he was also very shrewd and energetic at first glance, and he was a second-class teenager.
Zhou Zhengren sat at the head of a girl in a gorgeous costume, with a tender yellow silk pleated skirt, a golden string of bells and rabbit tail white hair tied at the belt, her body moved, the golden bells rang pleasantly, and she was draped in a white rabbit fur short cloak on her shoulders, and her head was also decorated with bell decorations and a ball of rabbit hair, and her face was also round.
Zhou Susu's side snuggled up to a four-year-old little boy with big eyes, staring at a few guests standing in the center of the hall without blinking.
Zhai Shi sighed, covered his nose and walked a few steps away from Yin Xian to stand still, and said softly: "Virtuous girl, don't come out if you are not in good health, how can you be good if you are sick?" ”
Yin Xian looked at Zhai's fear of infection, but he smiled bitterly and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Mother, Lang Zhong has seen it, this is my old problem, not tuberculosis, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Zhai put down his palm, but his body unconsciously took half a step back, Yin Xian's eyes swept over, and he indifferently pointed to the two positions on the right, letting Zhai and Leng do it.
Everyone sat down, Mingyue, Mingyun and Mingxia were embarrassed, and after giving the salute, they were motionless like wooden sticks, Mingyun was the highest, standing in front, Mingxia and Mingyue were an arm's length behind her.
Mingyue was about to stand behind Leng's family, but the maid who was holding the carriage under her hand was holding the teacup, and walked in lightly, passing by Mingyue, as if she had been tripped up, leaning forward the teacup, and splashing Mingyun in front of her without reservation, Mingyue subconsciously stepped forward, and blocked the little boy not far away with her sleeve, a few drops of water splashed on Mingyue's sleeve, it was not a big deal, and the little boy smiled gratefully at Mingyue.
It's Mingyun, who was drenched and drenched in the chest, but fortunately the gown he wore was thick, otherwise it would have been spring.
When Mingxia saw it, she ran to Leng's side and said in a panic: "Mother, it's not me, it's really not me." "The eyes subconsciously saw the bright glow.
Mingyun's eyes stared at Mingyue hatefully, seeing Mingyue's light appearance, his palm was raised high, wanting to fall on Mingyue's face, Zhai Shi coughed heavily, Mingyun could put away his palm, and changed his pitiful appearance to look at Su Su.
Su Su pursed her lips and asked the other little maid beside her to take Mingyun to change her clothes.
The little maid who played the tea bowl looked at Mingyue with an angry face, anyone could see that the little maid and everyone thought that Mingyue tripped the little maid, which hurt Mingyun.
Mingyue stood quietly, with no fear in her eyes, as if nothing had happened just now.
Yin Xian calmly said: "Mingyue, you caused Mingyun to be burned." ”
Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at Yin Xian innocently: "Auntie, I saw it." ”
Yin Xian was choked speechless, this Mingyue is really a cheeky person, can't she even apologize?
Zhai said with a cold face: "The things that can't be on the table, just got off the car and went against this girl, and now you have to make up for it?" ”
Mingyue looked at Zhai in surprise and said in surprise: "Grandma, what I said is so unreasonable, who am I, grandma's granddaughter, aunt's niece, the dignified Miss Zhou Fubiao, the same identity as the master, how could I secretly stumble on the little maid?" If I want to punish my subordinates, it's good to beat and scold them openly, and my aunt won't say a 'no', right? ”
His eyes glanced at Yin Xian, revealing infinite openness and naturalness.
Zhou Zhengren, who was absent-minded, had a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Yin Mingyue twice, although the girl's words were explicit, but they were not unreasonable, reaching out to punish the subordinates, it was the "master's" business, why bother stumbling and playing tricks?
Yin Xian nodded secretly, if an ordinary girl is wronged, she will definitely make a self-protection statement, such as Yin Mingxia; The smarter ones will find out the human and physical evidence that is not their own tripper, this Yin Mingyue is so righteous and awe-inspiring is beyond her expectations, and she has the intention to embarrass her, Yin Xian said with a cold face: "However, Mingyun was spilled with tea." ”
Zhai's eyes became sharp again, and he had no enmity with the maid, it must be the bad luck of Xun Yinyun, he was scalded and disfigured, and no one would rob Yin Mingyue of a man.
Mingyue nodded thoughtfully: "This tea is so strange, it was cold before it was saluted." Fang Cai tea splashed on Mingyun's body and the ground, Mingyue found that the tea, not even a trace of white mist rose, Mingyun was not scalded to have any discomfort, it can only show that this tea has been cold when it comes up, this is something that cannot exist for making tea and entertaining guests, so there must be another hidden reason in this, Yin Xian will not know why.
Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at Yin Xian and Zhou Sui with a smile.
Yin Xian naturally knew that just like what happened at the gate of the mansion, it was just a temptation.
Yin Xian found a step down, and the matter was turned over, and he chatted with Zhai's family.
Then explained the cloud, followed the maid to a small room, took the clothes in the little maid's hand, his eyes were as wide as an old scalper, and asked the little maid curtly: "This, this is the clothes for me to change?" Your young lady doesn't have any clothes for me to change? ”
The little maid pursed her lips, what Miss said was right, these poor sours are here to fight the autumn breeze, and they still want to beat the idea of Miss's clothes, which is simply not greedy.
The little maid said indifferently: "Miss Cousin, you can't wear Miss's skirt." This one suits you. ”
Mingyue was so angry that her face changed, what do you mean, is she only worthy of wearing the clothes of a maid? Under the eaves of the Zhou family, he had to bow his head, Mingyun quickly changed into clothes, and unified his clothes with the two maids of the Zhou family, which was exactly the same.
When the clothes came out, Yin Xian had already accompanied the Zhai family to sit in the dining room and start lunch, because the male guests were going to be late, and Zhou Zheng and Zhou Zhengren were waiting for Yin Jin, Yin Yin and others to use it together.
The dishes include stewed chicken soup, steamed crucian carp, stir-fried cabbage with pork, and pickled wild vegetables, but the four dishes are already the best taste in the world for the Yin family, which has been a problem all year round.
The staggered chopsticks and chopsticks during the banquet are in response to the rule of "food is not spoken".
Zhai Shi looked embarrassed and coughed lightly: "Your aunt is not in good health, you help your aunt pick up vegetables and debon." ”
Mingyun received Zhai's hint, Fang remembered the purpose of this trip, picked up a piece of fish breast with chopsticks, carefully picked out the big thorns inside, and directly sandwiched it into Yin Xian's plate.
Yin Xian smiled and nodded in gratitude.
Mingxia received Zhai's threatening eyes, shrunk and stretched out the chopsticks to the fish plate, originally wanted to clip a piece of fish breast, suddenly remembered his status at home, even if he got a piece of fish during the New Year, it was also a fish tail, with less spines and less meat, not fresh taste, and not beautiful meat, so he reflexively clamped a piece of fish tail, trembling hands and plucked the thorns for a long time, the sweat on his forehead flowed down, soaked in the fish meat, Yin Xian couldn't help frowning, Zhai scolded "useless money goods", Mingxia's chopsticks fell to the ground with a "dang" sound, I squatted on the ground and wanted to crawl under the table to pick up chopsticks.
Mingyue helped Mingxia up, and naturally instructed the little maid behind her: "Bring two new chopsticks." ”
The little maid looked at Yin Xian, and Yin Xian nodded.
Mingyue took two chopsticks, one handed to Mingxia, and the other in her hand, unhurriedly lifted the fish face bone, picked out the tender and smooth fish face meat, and sandwiched it directly into Yin Xian's bowl, explaining: "Auntie, this piece of meat is called fish face meat, and it is the most tender and refreshing. After that, the chopsticks are elegantly placed on the side of the plate, which is counted as a public chopstick.
Although Yin Xian's face was not shocked, his heart was shocked, there are many exquisiteness in eating fish, those who know a little about eating fish will eat fish belly, and there are many small spines, and the rich and noble people who can really eat will indeed pick out the piece of fish face meat to eat, how did Mingyue know? Also, she used the new chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, instead of her own, so elegant, I'm afraid that she can only do it after seeing the great array of righteousness of the rich and noble, right?
Yin Xian nodded secretly in his heart, after sitting for a long time, his qi and blood were a little unsupplied, and his face could not be covered by rouge, so he let the little maid help him and said to Zhai: "Mother, when you come to my house, I have something to tell you." ”
......
"What, you didn't choose a daughter-in-law for Jeong-in? Is it for my uncle? So what do you do? Zhai screamed in surprise, and the messenger told Zhai that a girl from the Yin family would marry into the Zhou family, and the old lady naturally thought of Zhou Zhengren of marriageable age, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and she hinted at Yin Xian during the Chinese New Year last year, Yin Xian didn't even talk, and there was no meaning of "kissing and kissing" at all.
At first glance, I heard that things had taken a turn for the better, but it was conceivable that Zhai's mood could be described as "full of joy".
When I got here, there was such a big change, from the various tests in front of the door, to eating and talking, it turned out to be the choice of a concubine for Zhou Sui, which made the Zhai family feel like cold water had been poured on it, pouring it from beginning to end, completely cold.
Yin Xian pulled the young Jiao'er, and said in a choked voice: "Mother, I know my own body, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for long, Zhengren is older, has his own opinions, Su Su has also reached the age of marriage, and it will be just a matter of marrying a good family in the future, the only thing I can't rest assured about is Zhengde, he is still young, if I die, Zhou Sui will marry a young man in the future, and the child will still be good if it falls into her hands?" Although I am a concubine now, after I go to the university, I will be able to fill the house and take charge of the Zhou family's industry, and for the sake of my flesh and blood relatives, I will not treat Zhengde harshly. ”
Zhai Shi looked at the face that was getting more and more pale, and his heart moved, yes, the girl's body has been relying on Lai Dada for so long, and the day of the limit is only not far away, let the daughter of the Yin family take charge of the Zhou family again, how can the Yin family borrow some light.
Zhai nodded and asked: "Mingyun is a blessed person, among the brothers, your eldest brother and you are also closer, I think she is the only one." ”
Yin Xian shook his head, from Mingyun's eyes, Yin Xian obviously saw something called greed, once people let greed take root, it is difficult to get rid of it, and it is inevitable that they will have the intention of refusing to be their own in the future.
Zhai Shi groaned: "Then Mingxia, she is timid, she can listen to you, let her listen to Zhengren in the future." ”
Yin Xian shook his head again, "Mother, you are timid and weak-tempered, how can you stand alone in the future and send those little vixens outside?" Sooner or later, let the little vixen get out of the house. ”
Zhai's eyes stood up, and he said with anger in his voice: "You don't want Yin Mingyue to marry, right?" ”
The voice was so loud that it almost broke people's ears, and Zhengde, who was playing on the side, was so frightened that he nervously threw himself into the arms of his mother Yin Xian and said, "Mother, is Cousin Mingyue going to become an aunt?" Will I call her aunt or sister in the future? ”
