Chapter 10: Talking about Marriage
As soon as the sky was bright, the door was opened from the outside, and a beautiful and generous middle-aged woman walked directly to the bed.
Without hesitation, she lifted the quilt for the two people on the bed.
"Oh, who! Disturb Miss Ben's sleep! Lemon, who was sleeping soundly, felt a chill on her body, and she sat up from the bed angrily, and opened her eyes with anxiety, she wanted to see who had lifted her quilt.
Shen Mange also complained, then probed the quilt down with his hand, and when he touched the quilt, he grabbed the quilt and covered his body, and muttered: "I'll sleep for five more minutes..."
Lime, who was still full of resentment, was completely stunned when she saw the person standing next to the bed, and saw that her mother was staring at her with a cold face at this time, she hurriedly picked up a smile and said, "Mother, why are you here?" Hey, you woke up early enough today, have you had breakfast? ”
Qingmu glared at her daughter again, and then looked at the inner bunk.
Shen Mange exhaled again as if he was a nobody.
Lime hurriedly kicked Shen Mange inside with her foot.
"Five more minutes of sleep..."
Qingmu sighed a little helplessly, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Don't sleep, you two get dressed and get out of bed, your father is waiting for you two in the lobby, hurry up." ”
When Lime heard this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked: "Mother, it's not dawn yet, what is my father looking for the two of us..."
"I'm embarrassed to ask, tell me about you, why did you and Xiaoge come back so late yesterday? Do you know that you are still two girls who have not left the cabinet? Day by day, you make me and your father worry about it. The young mother stretched out her finger and poked her daughter's head without pity at all.
Lime covered her head and felt pain, she pouted, "Okay, okay, okay, I know my mother, and Mange and I will arrive later." ”
"Hey." Qingmu sighed and shook her head, turned and left.
"I didn't hear my dad waiting for the two of us, you're still sleeping! Hurry up! ”
Seeing that Shen Mange hadn't gotten up yet, Lime kicked her quilt again angrily and urged.
"Ahhh Shen Mange howled a few times irritably, and then reluctantly got up from the bed.
In the main hall of the Liu family, Liu Zhengde and Qingmu were sitting on the main seat, and the servants next to them were pouring tea for the old man and the old lady.
I saw that outside, Shen Mange and Lime were already dressed and walked towards the main hall.
"Xiaoge to Uncle De, Aunt Qing greets."
"Daughter to Dad, Mother, greetings."
The two of them first behaved and said goodbye.
Liu Zhengde tasted the tea slowly and methodically, and was not in a hurry to speak.
Qingmu was not in a hurry, and also drank tea by herself.
The servants also sensed that something was not quite right in the morning atmosphere, and they stood with their heads bowed and did not squeak.
Lime cautiously raised her head and looked at her father and mother, hesitated for a while and made a weak voice: "Dad, what did you call me and Mange so early..."
"Humph!" Liu Zhengde snorted in displeasure.
Lime felt weak and lowered her head again.
"I'm embarrassed to ask something, you two tell me, what did the old man tell you to do in the morning!" Liu Zhengde glared angrily at the two children in front of him.
Qing's mother also knew that the two children had indeed made a big mistake this time, so she didn't come out to protect her shortcomings, and let her wife teach her a lesson.
Lime was so frightened that she couldn't help but lean over to Mange's side, "Dad, my daughter is wrong..."
"Uncle De, I was wrong too..."Shen Mange also consciously admitted his mistake.
"Hmph, you talk about the two of you, and you have learned to go home late, right, if something happens, you tell me, you let me and your mother, what should you do with Aunt Qing? What's more, you two are still girls! It's even more dangerous to come home late! Liu Zhengde reprimanded the two people, with a serious face.
"Daddy... I'm sorry, but it was a bit special last night, so I forgot to send someone back to report it. ”
When Liu Zhengde heard this, he was even more angry, "What? Are you justified in saying that?! ”
"My daughter doesn't dare..."
Liu Zhengde eased his tone a little and asked, "Tell me, what happened yesterday?" Why did you come back so late. ”
Lime squirmed twice, then closed her lips and said nothing.
"Why, you can't even say it's a father, right, when you grow up, you start to learn not to listen to your father, right?"
"It's not... Dad, anyway, Mange and I didn't do anything bad, but we were delayed because of a little thing, so we came back late. ”
Seeing that his daughter was reluctant to speak, Liu Zhengde shifted the target to Shen Mange, and he asked, "Xiaoge, come on, what did you do yesterday except for a trip to the General's Mansion?" ”
Shen Mange was also a little embarrassed, yesterday the general specifically instructed the two of them not to reveal the news of his return to Beijing, but he couldn't say that he and Lime stayed in the general's mansion for dinner, that was not reasonable.
She thought about it, so she had to make up a reason and said: "Uncle De, it was a little late to calculate the accounts yesterday, and it took some time, and then Xiao Jiao and I happened to be hungry, so we found a restaurant on the street to eat... I happened to meet a few friends, so we chatted together, and then I lost track of time. ”
When Qingmu heard this, she thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be like this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she hurriedly opened her mouth and said slowly: "Isn't it just that I've been eating with a few friends for a long time, it's nothing, Ling'er, what dare you not say?" ”
Lime admired Mange's confidence in her heart, and she grinned at her mother: "Mother, mainly... I drank some wine with Mange and them, isn't it because I'm afraid that you and my father will be angry, so my daughter doesn't dare to say it..."
Hearing this, Liu Zhengde patted the table and stood up: "What! Drink! The two of you are getting more and more talkative, how can you drink without your elders accompanying you?! What if you drink too much and something happens! ”
Shen Mange and Lime were shocked at the same time.
Qingmu hurriedly got up to comfort her wife: "Oh, look at you, what do you do with such an atmosphere, it scares the child, besides, don't the two children go home safely, Xiaoge is a child who knows measure, so he naturally knows the degree." ”
Liu Zhengde saw that his wife began to protect the children again, and said with a kind of hatred: "You know how to protect these two children, look at it!" It's all spoiled by you, these two children are not boys, boys drink some wine, forget it, the problem is that these two children are girls! ”
"Okay, okay, the two children don't already know that they are wrong, they will definitely not dare next time, you, don't be angry."
Shen Mange glared at the lime below, obviously it had already been made up, but she came to drink a word, which made Uncle De directly angry.
Lime was aggrieved, otherwise what should she do, could it be said that in order to be able to look at the general a few more times, so her brain was hot, so she agreed to stay for the banquet? She still needs face.
