This morning, Mrs. Sheng was having breakfast in the house, and Fang's mother suddenly came in to report: "The master has brought the four girls to greet you." ”

"Four girls?"

The corners of the old lady's mouth raised slightly, and then she drank the bird's nest porridge in the bowl unhurriedly, and the maid removed the dishes, and then said, "Please let them in." ”

As soon as Sheng Hong entered the door with Mo Lan, he respectfully saluted the old lady and asked the maid to bring two round piers and let them sit down.

The three of them were shushing the cold and asking about the warm room, when they suddenly saw the curtain of the door flip, and a maid with a plate came in, followed by a small figure.

Sheng Hong and Mo Lan saw that it was Minglan at a glance, both of them were taken aback, the smile on Sheng Hong's face immediately stiffened half, and Mo Lan frowned unconsciously.

I saw Minglan slowly step forward, take a lotus porcelain bowl from the tray held by Xiao Fluttershy, and said respectfully: "Grandmother, this is a freshly boiled soup in the kitchen, which can clear your mind and calm your mind, you can drink it while it's hot." ”

The old lady took it and took a sip, and couldn't help but show surprise: "Why is this decoction sweet?" ”

Minglan smiled: "Mother Fang said that grandmother has always been the least fond of drinking bitter medicine, so her granddaughter mixed some apricot nectar into it. ”

"It's hard for you to have such filial piety at a young age." The old lady nodded and smiled, very pleased.

Fang's mother smiled and agreed: "It's not that I boast, the sixth girl is really intimate and filial, the old lady will beat her back when she coughs, and the old lady will hand over the tea bowl as soon as she frowns, I have served the old lady for half my life, and I am not as careful and proper as the sixth girl!" ”

The three of them knocked and struck, completely looking at the warm picture of their ancestors and grandchildren's deep love and happiness, but Sheng Hong and Mo Lan were left out in the cold, as if they had become outsiders.

Sheng Hong could still laugh twice to relieve the embarrassment, but Mo Lan was young, but she couldn't swallow this breath, and she was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched.

She served with the old lady for two or three months, and she did not hear a word of praise from the old lady. Minglan has only been here for a few days, and the old lady has been so blue-eyed with her.

The gap between people is too big!

Sheng Hong pulled out a hint of laughter, and followed the old lady's words and said: "Mother, it is naturally a good thing that Ming'er has filial piety, but she is young and doesn't know how to do things, and she doesn't know how to do things.

For example, in this decoction, in order to remove some bitterness, apricot nectar is added to it, which is very inappropriate. If honey and medicine are in conflict with each other, isn't it a good intention to do a bad thing? ”

"Father is too worried."

Minglan smiled sweetly and looked at Sheng Hong: "My cousin told me that when he was sick, his aunt and aunt fed him medicine like this, and my cousin was well in less than two months." ”

Sheng Hong was rejected, Minglan said, frowned immediately, and reprimanded: "Everyone has their own physique, how can they generalize!" You are young, it is only right to talk less and listen more, your little mother has not taught you? ”

Seeing that Minglan bowed her head aggrievedly and was silent, her eyes were slightly red, the old lady slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "My wife loves to drink sweet, Lang Zhong is not allowed to drink, I want to drink it, as long as I bring it from Ming'er, it will poison me in my stomach, and I will admit it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point, and Sheng Hong didn't expect the old lady to lose such a big temper for Minglan and was silent.

At this time, Fang's mother came out to play a round and said, "Don't worry, master, the sixth girl is thoughtful, and asked Miss Fluttershy to go to Lang Zhong early, and Lang Zhong said that it was okay, so the six girls added apricot nectar to the decoction." ”

"Since Lang Zhong said that there is nothing to do, it is naturally the best, but I am too worried."

Sheng Hong was so blocked that he had nothing to say, so he had to laugh dryly, but he came with a mission on this trip, and he would not give up easily.

Sheng Hong waved his hand and motioned to Fang's mother to take Mo Lan and Minglan out to play, and after the two daughters left, Sheng Hong raised his eyes to look at the old lady again, trying to make a sincere expression.

"My son is just afraid that Ming'er is young and ignorant, and he will be tired of your mother, so it's better to let Mo'er come. Mo'er is sensible and well-behaved, speaks and does things properly, and has served in Shou'an Hall for a few months before, isn't it also very good? ”

"Yes, that's good."

The old lady glanced at Sheng Hong deeply, and said quietly: "Her mother is an old man who has been by my side for many years, she has been exposed to it, and she also knows a lot of my hobbies and habits, and knows how to pretend to be pitiful and well-behaved to please me." But I've been through so many things over the years, and my personality has changed a lot, but now I don't like her and her mother. ”

What has the old lady experienced over the years?

Naturally, when Lin Yushuang was raised in the old lady's room, he and Sheng Hong gave and received each other privately, and the bead fetus was secretly knotted!

Sheng Hong heard what the old lady was referring to, and his face was suddenly full of embarrassment. In any case, he was the first to blame for this matter, and it was understandable that the old lady was angry.

The old lady said all this, Sheng Hong didn't have the face to say anything for Mo Lan anymore, and after staying in Shou'an Hall for a long time, he took Mo Lan to leave in ashes.

After sending the two away, the old lady asked Fang's mother to call Minglan in, and asked with a smile: "What, your cousin Chen also likes to eat apricot nectar, when you go to the school later, do you want to bring him a jar by the way?" ”

Minglan didn't seem to understand what the old lady meant, and blinked her eyes innocently.

"Grandmother, what does my cousin like to eat, he has people around him to worry about, what do you want me to deliver?"

After speaking, he paused, and added: "But if the grandmother wants to send it, it must be the grandmother's consideration, and the granddaughter obeys the order." ”

The old lady saw Minglan pretending to be calm, and glanced at her slightly reddened earlobes, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, but she didn't poke her, but just said:

"The matter of the school, I also heard some things from the old man Zhuang, your cousin does not have the remuneration of the leading students, but he works no less than Mr. Zheng, speaking of which, this matter is still our Sheng family's carelessness, and we should thank others well."

"Grandmother means ......"

"Since we want to thank you, this thank you gift has to be sent to people's hearts, gold and silver and other mundane things, presumably your cousin can't look down on them......"

The old lady tapped her finger lightly on Minglan forehead: "Aren't you your cousin when you open and close your mouth, then go and ask me, what are your cousin's preferences, come back and tell me." ”

"Don't ask, granddaughter can tell grandmother now." Minglan said confidently: "My cousin has nothing to do these days, so I love to play Go with the second brother and the third brother, so we might as well give him a chessboard!" ”

"Chessboard? That's a good idea. ”

The old lady pondered for a moment, whispered a word to Fang's mother, and Fang's mother went out of the house according to her words.

After a while, he turned back again, followed by two maids, one holding a wooden chessboard, and the other holding two bowls of clouds.

The old lady stretched out her hand and gently rubbed it on the chessboard for a moment, feeling the familiar warm feel on the surface of the chessboard, and her face couldn't help but feel a little sad about reminiscing about the past.

"This chessboard is a tribute from Fanbang, and the Son of Heaven rewarded your great-grandfather back then, and when it was given to your cousin as a thank you gift, it can be regarded as a good hand."

Minglan listened to her grandmother talk about the preciousness of this chessboard, and couldn't help but secretly speak: Such a good thing, grandmother actually said that she would send it.

Then I thought about it: In order to urge me to practice calligraphy these days, my cousin's saliva is almost dry, should I also prepare a mind?
