Chapter Seventy-Five: Cats
The servant woman who was waiting in front of Mrs. Sun was waiting by the door at this time, and when she saw the little lady with a face like snow beside her own lady, she knew that it was the seventh lady of the He family that she was talking about, and hurriedly saluted: "He Qi Niangzi." ”
He Ling Jiang bowed slightly, and walked into the room accompanied by Sun Rujin.
Xu heard that He Lingjiang was coming, and Mrs. Sun, who had always been bedridden, was afraid of losing her etiquette, so she got up and dressed up and sat at the table outside waiting for her.
"Ma'am."
He Lingjiang crossed his hands, clasped each other in front of his chest, and saluted Mrs. Sun, who was sitting upright.
Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up, and she beckoned her, "Sit down quickly." I have long heard that the seventh lady of the He family is the best-looking little lady in our Linchuan County, and now when I see it, it really deserves its name. ”
It is not uncommon for a little lady with a beautiful appearance in the family, but there are still a few who stand out like He Qi Niangzi, not to mention, between her walking demeanor, her charm is sparse, and it is even more rare.
Come to think of it, only the hundred-year-old family of the He family can give birth to such a young lady like Zhong Minyuxiu.
With a wave of her hand, she ordered the servant to serve refreshments.
He Lingjiang sat down opposite her and smiled: "Madame is wrong!" ”
"Jin Niang has praised the Seventh Lady in front of me for a long time, but she didn't think that she invited the Seventh Lady to come to the door today. I've been in poor health lately, and I'm not well entertained, so I hope that He Qiniang won't blame him. Mrs. Sun was a little apologetic.
She didn't know the reason why her daughter invited He Lingjiang to come to the door, but she just invited a friend to stay for a few days.
He Lingjiang took the refreshments she handed over, and said with a light smile: "Ling Jiang is disturbed at night, Madame doesn't blame me for disturbing your rest." ”
Mrs. Sun coughed lightly on the side of her head, and said: "I am at home all day, and even with Jinniang, I am bored in the house every day to accompany me, and I rarely go out to make friends." Now that the Seven Ladies have come to the door, I am not too happy to be happy, how can I dislike it. ”
"I heard Jin Niang say, did the Seventh Lady and her meet on the day of Shangyuan?"
Jin Niang said that she met a little traitor that day and was almost abducted, but it was the seventh lady who appeared in time to save her from this catastrophe. I also want to thank the Seventh Lady. ”
He Lingjiang glanced at Sun Rujin, who was sitting on the side, and smiled: "Madame is polite." These days, Jin Niang has sent a lot of thank-you gifts to me, if Mrs. thank you again, Jiang will be deserved. ”
Mrs. Sun's eyes were soft, this He Qi Lady was not as unapproachable as the rumors outside.
She was about to speak, but suddenly coughed and wheezing, Sun Rujin hurriedly handed her the teacup: "Auntie, drink some tea to moisten your throat." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand behind Mrs. Sun to comfort her.
Mrs. Sun lowered her head and drank two sips of hot tea, and Fang Yu said: "If you can't say two words, you will cough and wheezing, but it will make He Qi Niangzi laugh." ”
He Lingjiang shook his head and looked at her without a trace.
Today, He Lingjiang came to visit, and she deliberately put on a layer of makeup before she avoided being rude.
However, although the makeup was heavy, it still couldn't hide the gloomy color on her face. The lip grease between the lips was moistened by the tea, and it lost its color a little, revealing pale lips.
He Lingjiang opened his mouth and asked, "Madame has been sick for a long time?" ”
"yes, it's been nearly half a year." Mrs. Sun sighed.
"I wonder if Madame remembers why she was sick in the first place?"
Mrs. Sun coughed lightly and recalled: "At that time, there was an autumn banquet on the outskirts of the city, and many ladies and ladies in the county were there, so Jin Niang and I went to have a good time. Na Cheng thought, only two days after coming back, he contracted a cold, and he couldn't afford to get sick for a long time. ”
When she returned, she felt dizzy and had a cough at night, so she immediately invited a doctor to come and see her.
The doctor said that this was a symptom of wind and cold, and she did not take it to heart for a hundred years, and only grabbed the medicine according to the doctor's prescription to drink. However, the disease has not been cured.
Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly: "No wonder they all say that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." Only my illness made Jin Niang stay in the house with me all day long, and wasted the good time of many little ladies. ”
She stroked Sun Rujin's long hair with a soft expression.
Sun Rujin's eyes turned red: "A-Niang, what are you talking about, my daughter is willing to accompany A-Niang." ”
Mrs. Sun patted her head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." He Qi Niangzi is still there, don't let her see jokes. ”
In front of her mother, Sun Rujin rarely showed a little bit of a little daughter's posture, and snorted lightly: "Ling Jiang and I are familiar with each other, what is there to joke about." Ling Jiang, you say? ”
He Lingjiang picked up the teacup and chuckled, "Naturally." I have seen the way Jin Niang was scared and cried at the beginning. Now, there's nothing surprising about it. ”
Mrs. Sun couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Jin Niang has always been steady and self-controlled, but there is still such an embarrassing time? ”
"Auntie!" Sun Rujin said angrily.
Mrs. Sun smiled and smiled, her eyes couldn't help but show a little distress, if she hadn't been sick for a long time, she wouldn't have asked Jin Niang to leave the house with only two maids, and she was still separated in the chaos and was almost abducted.
She gently stroked her daughter's long hair again.
He Lingjiang also wanted to ask about the autumn banquet again, but as soon as the words came out, he heard a "meow", and a black shadow rushed over and jumped into Mrs. Sun's arms.
He Lingjiang looked at it, and it turned out to be a black cat with pointed ears and a round head, which was lazily nestled in Mrs. Sun's arms and snoring.
Sun Rujin stretched out his hand and flicked its head: "Briquette, you are naughty again!" ”
The cat was bounced, and did not leave, only lifted its eyelids and glanced at her lazily, and then rubbed it twice on Mrs. Sun's hand, signaling her to continue stroke.
Mrs. Sun was a little funny, bent one arm around the cat, and continued to smooth her hair with one hand: "Jin Niang, what are you talking about it?" ”
"Auntie, you just pet it!" Sun Rujin said angrily, "The doctor said that A-Niang has a cough and wheezing, you should stay away from these hairy animals, you just put the briquettes in the house and raise them, why are you still so close to it?" ”
"I've told you several times, just let it stay by the side, and its own servants will serve it."
"Look at it, it's still jumping into your arms at every turn!"
Mrs. Sun patted the cat's head: "What's the matter, you still have to be jealous with the same cat?" I just cuddle it once in a while, and that's fine. ”
Sun Rujin was helpless, and he didn't have anything to say for a while.
He Lingjiang looked at this cat, the fur on his body was black and shiny, and it was very slippery to the touch.
She was curious: "This cat is called a briquette?" The name is also interesting, and it matches its appearance very well. ”
Hearing He Lingjiang call its name, the cat lazily lifted one eyelid and glanced at her, seeing that it was a little lady she had never seen, she closed her eyes again, and continued to snore comfortably.
He Lingjiang reached out and wanted to touch it. The cat was also just lazy and motionless.
Unexpectedly, He Lingjiang's hand was just about to touch it, but the cat's nose twitched suddenly, opened its eyes suddenly, and stretched out its claws to grab He Lingjiang.
"Ling Jiang, be careful!"
Sun Rujin couldn't help but exclaim.
