Chapter 141: Spreading Falsehood
Since Youning became a frequent visitor to the Li family, Shaohua also went to Xuyuan every now and then, each time carrying a basket full of snacks, and then came back empty-handed. Youning, who sneered at Shaohua at first, completely changed her opinion of her after discovering that Shaohua could come up with a snack that made him salivate every time. spoke politely to her, and even was ridiculed by his eldest sister for his attempt to make a sycophant, he didn't care, who let Shaohua grasp his taste very accurately, and even the details of his eating coriander and only eating leaves and not stems were known to her.
The only thing that made him depressed was that he didn't even call his brother, and he never even called his name Shaohua. Obviously, he is three years older than her, but in front of Shaohua, it is more like Shaohua is three years older than him.
Xin Zixuan was surprised by Shaohua and Youning's way of getting along, and slowly looked away. On the one hand, she is the dearest brother, and on the other hand, she is the sister-in-law she likes, and the two can get along well, and she is also happy and relaxed as the middleman. It's just that she is as curious as You Ning is that Shaohua seems to know Yu Ning's hobbies well, and she is too clever in the details. actually knew that when dealing with a person like Youning who didn't eat hard and soft, as long as he caught his appetite, it was equivalent to grasping his weakness, which made Youning feel aggrieved and didn't put his face on it.
Shaohua naturally doesn't care about You Ning as her brother, obviously she is her younger brother who has been ridiculed and bullied by herself for more than ten years, how can she shout. For Youning, maybe she is a ghostly and flexible little girl, but for Shaohua, she is just a different pair of skins, her eyes are still those eyes, her soul is still that soul, and it is simply commonplace for her to grasp Youning's weaknesses.
Acknowledging relatives is too fantastical for her, and she would rather choose to enjoy this once familiar warmth and small happiness silently in their surprise.
It's just that her comfort is not the same to outsiders.
Zhou Yan finally caught Shaohua, who rarely didn't run to Xuyuan, looked her up and down, and said coldly: "I heard that you have been going to Xuyuan recently, I thought you had gone to the big house." ”
One of the ladies of Aunt Pang's family was taken away by the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and the other was taken away by Zhou Yan's sister-in-law's family, because both places were rich and noble families, which made Aunt Pang proud for a long time, and she deliberately showed off to go to the Tao Garden, and the road to Zhou Yan's house was narrow. Pang Zi was still in the dark, and he didn't know that Zhuang Xiuniang had become Zhou Yan's brother's concubine, but he was just happy that his sister was willing to come to her to confess to her. But within a few days, news came from the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion that a maid climbed onto Lang Jun's bed and was beaten to death, and the aunt was almost sent to the Pure Heart Nunnery. The other was transferred to the eighth uncle as a step-room, and it is said that the eighth uncle is sixty-three years old this year.
When Aunt Pang heard this, she was so angry that she came to Zhou Yan to settle the account, but Zhou Yan said that she didn't know. Aunt Pang pointed at Pang and scolded Zhou Yan, saying that she was not right-minded and ruined the two flower-like ladies in her family.
Zhou Yan sneered when she heard this, and asked Aunt Pang, if she really felt sorry for her two ladies, as long as she was willing to return the gift money, Zhou Yan would find a way to help her redeem the two ladies.
Aunt Pang naturally refused, and even if she did, she couldn't find it. It is rare for someone to come to the door and hire her two concubines as aunts with generous gift money, Aunt Pang is like a daughter, and she sends them out in tears. I also thought that when they got a firm foothold, they would find a way to let their husband's family carry them, but they didn't know that the two ended up like this, and asked someone to come back and send a letter saying that they wanted to leave, but Aunt Pang had the confidence to speak.
If you hire someone to be an aunt, it's not like you who marries to be a concubine, even if it's a noble concubine, then you have to nod your mother and let her go, and then her mother will return all the original gift money before she can leave. But if she becomes an aunt, the family will still want to bring her back, even if she marries again, she will no longer be able to hire a good family.
Aunt Pang suffered a loss here, so she could only use Pang to vent her anger, but she didn't expect Zhou Yan to be so good at talking this time. Although Pang Zi felt uncomfortable, after listening to Li Sinian's persuasion, he also chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and after sending Aunt Pang away, even Zhou Yan's morning and dusk provinces were exempted.
Zhou Yan was bored in Taoyuan, but Wanhua got married, but Shaohua was nowhere to be found, and she was angry.
Shaohua rolled her eyes and took back the sandbag that was about to be crumpled from her hand: "I'm going to see my sister-in-law, not to Bohm's courtyard." ”
"Is there a difference? I ran to Xuyuan two times in three days, and I heard that the kitchen was tossed to the back, and there were delicious foods rushed to Xuyuan, why didn't your aunt count you. Zhou Yan counted down, her face slowly became dissatisfied, and her tone was full of sourness.
Shaohua cleverly sniffed a clue, looked at her puffed face, and teased: "Second sister-in-law, is she jealous?" Otherwise, you can get pregnant too, and I promise to come to you once a day to say goodbye. His eyes fell from Zhou Yan's face to her lower abdomen, and Zhou Yan also looked down curiously following her gaze.
When she reacted, Zhou Yan's face was hot, she swept her sly and playful face, and sighed, "Go, go, who asked you to say goodbye, I mean you won't go to see your sister-in-law when you go to Xuyuan." ”
The two sisters-in-law frolicked for a while, and the atmosphere eased, Zhou Yan deliberately leaned over and said in Shaohua's ear: "I heard that the younger brother of the sister-in-law, Lang Jun of General Dingxi's family, also often comes to the door. I don't know anything else, but I heard that this Lang Jun is extremely beautiful, even the so-called four gentlemen in Beijing can't compare. You won't give up on your family, General Yan, and fall in love with Xin Langjun. ”
Although she stayed at home, Youning's "good name" did spread in the capital, so that everyone sighed with emotion, if the princess was still there, what a picture of the beauty of the capital.
Hearing this, Shaohua blurted out without thinking: "Just kidding! How could I fall in love with him, he is ...... "my brother."
Suddenly, Shaohua felt a cold sweat, but fortunately he could hold back his words, otherwise it would be troublesome to explain, and he would have to depict it more and more black.
Zhou Yan seemed to smell the smell of gossip and said excitedly: "But what? ”
Shaohua said angrily: "He is the younger brother of my sister-in-law." It's also her brother, Shaohua silently added a sentence in her heart.
Zhou Yan shrugged her shoulders and said disapprerovingly: "It's not uncommon for a sister-in-law to become a younger sister, isn't it good to kiss and kiss." ”
Shaohua saw that Zhou Yan didn't seem to intend to let her go, so he deliberately reached out and put it on her lower abdomen, touched it, shook his head and sighed with emotion. "Second sister-in-law, I think you are too bored at home, so you have to ask your second brother to work harder and raise a child early to pass the time."
Sure enough, Zhou Yan was provoked by her, and immediately jumped up and hid from her. "You are still a little lady who hasn't gone out, why are you not serious, where did you go to school?" Although it has been a few months since she passed the door, Zhou Yan is still very shy and sensitive about the boudoir. "I'm kind enough to take care of my sister-in-law's lifelong affairs, but you're kidding me. Forget it, kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and I still go back. ”
As he spoke, he got up, Shaohua immediately changed his face and pulled her sleeve, "Second sister-in-law!" Am I wrong? You know it's him I like, and you make fun of me. ”
Zhou Yan deliberately stepped on her, looking at her aggrieved expression, she felt better. "But I don't know who you like now, you look at the number of times you go to Xuyuan, even my mother-in-law, who doesn't go out, came to ask me, are you eye-catching with my sister-in-law's Langjun."
Shaohua lowered his eyes and asked, "How could it be, who spread it?" ”
Zhou Yan replied: "Do you still need to pass on this, you don't hide or hide, everyone else watches everything, and the second aunt doesn't stop it, isn't it clear that you acquiesce." ”
Shaohua was taken aback, "I just talked to him, I didn't treat him as a man at all, just his face, if you saw it, you would never think it was a man." Not to mention the actual relationship between her and Youning, even if there is no relationship, she will not like Youning's arrogant and narcissistic foodie, she is just a daffodil, and she must not be smoked to death at home.
Hearing Shaohua's exaggerated statement, Zhou Yan was taken aback and asked curiously: "Is it really so beautiful?" ”
Shaohua nodded solemnly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and take a look." She was used to seeing her face at the beginning, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with a man looking like this. It's just that when she gets used to what she looks like now, she looks back and looks at Youning, who is eighty percent similar to her former self. Only then did I find that as a man, Youning's face was a little too beautiful.
In fact, Zhou Yan had already been moved, and wanted to see this beautiful face known as northern Sichuan, "Your second brother doesn't allow me to go, saying that it is not etiquette." ”
Shaohua felt funny, and couldn't help but tease, "Second brother, isn't he afraid that you will empathize and don't fall in love after you meet Youning?" ”
"I see that you were really spoiled by that Youning, and I will tell Lanzhi when I go back that you have empathy for her brother and let Yan Kaizhi find another lady." Zhou Yan stretched out her hand to rub Shaohua's face, shouted angrily, and strode away decisively.
Shaohua was startled, immediately jumped up and chased out. "Don't, second sister-in-law, I was wrong, second sister-in-law, wait for me!"
