30, respect for the elder (1)
Mrs. Su was married from Nanchu, and when she was young, she was also a beauty with superb skills, and she didn't agree with a word, and she beat half of Lindu, and finally it was the son of the Su family at that time who picked this delicate flower with thorns. After being widowed, Old Madam Su still didn't like to call her servants to subordinates, and most of the close things were left to the birds and beasts she raised herself.
Seeing that Su Jinyao was far away, and only sent the plate with snacks, Old Madam Su's face tightened, and she lowered her head to the gray-brown beast at her feet and said, "Ah Sheng, go and take it." ”
Ah Sheng staggered to his feet, taller than an adult man. With a mouth, I wanted to stretch my waist, but Su Jinyao was so frightened that she stepped back with an "ah", her feet slipped, and she saw that the plate of dim sum was about to fall to the ground.
Chu Ning stretched out his hand and stabilized Su Jinyao's arm: "Big sister, don't be afraid, Ah Sheng just wants to play with you." She had already seen that this Ah Sheng looked a little similar to the one in the aisle of the palace, and it must be of similar species.
She secretly glanced at Mrs. Su, took a piece of snack, shook it in front of Ah Sheng a few times, and hid it from her left hand into her right hand like a child, and finally threw it into its mouth. As soon as Ah Sheng's tongue rolled, the snack went into his stomach.
Su Jinyao was not happy: "What are you doing?" This is made for grandmother to eat, how can you just throw it to a livestock? "Among the young ladies from the family, many people have such thoughts as her, they like spirit pets, but they only like bright and good-looking coats, and they disdain this kind of bulky and vulgar.
Chu Ning replied quietly: "My grandmother asked Ah Sheng to pick it up, and it tasted it for my grandmother by the way, it's nothing." Ah Sheng is still a child, how can a child not be greedy. When she entered the door, she had carefully observed, Mrs. Su was very fond of Ah Sheng, and when she talked to everyone, her face was always cold and indifferent, but from time to time she reached out and touched Ah Sheng's head. Ah Sheng's coat is shiny, and his face is still with delicate fluff, presumably just because he is naturally big, and his real age is not very big.
Su Jinyao's eyes widened, and what else to say, Mrs. Su had already spoken: "I don't know what dim sum is so expensive, Ah Sheng can't bear to taste a piece, then he doesn't have to take it to the old woman's eyes, he can't afford it." ”
The meaning of Mrs. Su's words was obviously angry. Su Jinyao's eyes immediately turned red: "Grandmother, I didn't mean that......"
Princess Ankang's eyes were eager to turn into knives and gouge out Chu Ning's eyes that were always faintly smiling. But in front of this stern mother-in-law, she didn't dare to show anything, so she had to smile and say, "Yao'er is not sensible......"
Old Madam Su snorted coldly from her nose, turned her head to look at Chu Ning, but didn't recognize who she was for a while. Chu Ning obediently knelt down: "Chu Ning asked how her grandmother was okay." ”
"Chu Ning ......" Old Madam Su read the name, her eyes looked out of the window a little blankly, "Your mother must still resent me and her father, and insisted on sending her to the palace of the royal capital back then." Something like that happened, her whole life was ruined, and she returned to Lindu for more than ten years, just like she had never had a mother like me. ”
Chu Ning raised her head and looked up at Mrs. Su just right: "I don't know what my mother thinks in her heart, she rarely talks to me, but sometimes in the dead of night, I see her looking in the direction of Fulan Garden." ”
Su Tianxin has a cold temperament, and he talks too much, but it is easy to make the old lady suspicious. The way she looked up made Mrs. Su feel that this was still her favorite daughter and had high hopes for back then.
"That's it," the old lady sighed, "you are here today, but what do you have to tell the old woman?" ”
Chu Ning listened to her tone, still on guard. Mrs. Su went straight for half her life, and when she was old, she had to fight with her children and grandchildren. The selection of the Lingque Terrace is about to begin, and she is like a mirror in her heart, these people get together, and they are sending snacks and making clothes, just to get some good things out of her hands, so as to increase the certainty of passing smoothly when the Lingque Terrace is selected.
Among the dowries she brought from Nanchu, there were several mysterious treasures that were rare in the Central Plains, and she had nothing to do in her later years, and she also accumulated a lot of good things.
"Yes," Chu Ning continued casually, "there is something I want to tell my grandmother today. I'm over fifteen years old, and I should participate in the selection of the Spirit Bird Terrace this year, but I haven't chosen the right spirit beast and spirit weapon yet, and I'm very worried about this matter. ”
Old Madam Su's face was originally slightly softened when she talked about Su Tianxin, but at this moment, it suddenly became cloudy: "So what? What do you want to say to the old woman, don't go around in circles. ”
Her hand on the edge of the table was already pinched, and it was obvious that she was trying to suppress the anger in her heart. And Ah Sheng, who was at her feet, seemed to feel the mood fluctuations of his master, and his eyes like copper bells turned blood-red.
Princess Ankang showed a sneer, and said, if you go on, you have angered the old lady, and no one can save you.
