Chapter 15: The Quick-Tongued (2)
The sky gradually warmed up, and it rained again during the night.
The fragrance of the earth can be vaguely smelled outside the window, and the fog is heavy in the morning.
Rare good interest, the hookah sat up from the kang early, and slept soundly yesterday, thinking that the osmanthus incense sent by my aunt and uncle earlier had an effect.
Settled on the kang, Fang eased her mind, looking at the wisps of cigarettes still rising in the gilded relief floral pattern incense burner on a few sons, she smiled as if she had no lips, and her heart produced a kind of steadfastness that she had never had.
I only put my hand on Hao's wrist, but I felt that there was an extra object on my wrist that was empty, my heart tightened, and I looked down, only to know that it was the bracelet that Mrs. Bai gave her yesterday.
I don't know if the Bai family went to the Shen family.
She traced the polished bracelet carefully with her eyes, and sighed in her heart.
After a while, the curtain outside was lifted, and the slightest wisp of cool breeze hit, and the hookah couldn't help but shiver.
"Why did the girl wake up, it's still early, and I'll sleep again." It's the voice of the jade.
The voice was very soft, and the hookah hurriedly came back to her senses, and a shallow smile appeared on her face, and when she saw her tiptoe in, she took her things and was about to go out: "I don't have to ask for peace, the girl is asleep in peace, and the maid will call you later." β
"No, I can't sleep, just wake up early." The hookah had a smile in his eyes, and he didn't wait for the jade to reply, and then he was about to get up.
Seeing this, Jade Yu hurriedly put aside her belongings and went to help her.
When she was sitting in front of the makeup, Yu Yu only looked at her sideways, and saw that her face was ruddy, and she slept soundly last night, thinking that she was unconsciously happy in her heart, and took a grate and combed it carefully with her.
The green silk was scattered over her shoulders, covering her face a little smaller.
The hookah only looked at himself quietly in the mirror, and lowered his eyes and picked a few suitable hairpins.
Seeing this, Yu Yu was a little puzzled, and looked at her in the mirror with her eyes: "The girl is rarely interested, but now she is still forbidden to ......."
When the hookah heard this, he only held his cheeks and snorted lightly: "Dressing up is not to please others." β
After speaking, he picked a slightly lighter hair and handed it to the jade, pursed his lips, and was silent.
Now, only she knows that her elaborate dress is for her stepmother, and her stepmother loves to be refreshing and quiet, so she dresses up like this, just to see her happy.
But now she can't hold the Bai family's thoughts, so she can only think that the Shen family will come with the attitude of giving it a try.
Thinking about it, her heart was beating fast unconsciously, she was only calm on her face, and she had already estimated the time in her heart.
Yu Yu couldn't see through the girl's thoughts, so she only pursed her lips and smiled, took Huadian and compared it on the hookah butt, and put the hairpin left and right.
I don't know when this hosta came in, and when I saw the hookah sitting, my face was shocked, and then there was a sweet smile: "I just thought about how there was a movement in the room today, and the girl woke up." β
When the hookah saw her coming, he only glanced at her, hooked the corners of his lips, put his hand on the bun, and asked a little playfully: "Is the bun that is just rolled today, is it good-looking?" β
The hosta smiled, turned around to fold the brocade quilt on the kang, and waited for the curtain to close, before going to look at the hookah, and saw that she was wearing a bun with the clouds, leaving a few pearls to embellish, and she was slightly playful in her grace.
only gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good-looking, our girl is naturally beautiful, even if she combs her grandmother's bun, she looks good." β
This hosta is a stupid mouth, and now it's better not to say it, but I saw that the hosta laughed, and was a little annoyed: "What are you talking about, are you so boastful!" β
After that, he stepped forward and nodded the hosta's forehead, the hosta was a little painful, only frowning and rubbing his forehead, muttering a little unconvinced.
Seeing the naΓ―ve state of the two girls, the hookah covered her lips and smiled, only looking at them funny.
Unconsciously, there was a slight smile on the other side of the screen, and when I looked at it, I saw Wei's mother walking in, grinning at the corners of her mouth, and looking at the people in the house with bright eyes: "Oh, the house is so lively, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, you might as well talk to my mother-in-law." β
Seeing Wei's mother coming, the atmosphere in the room was quiet, and the hosta was stunned, took her hand, and saluted her.
The hookah was also helped up, and Chaowei's mother was blessed with respect.
Wei's mother smiled sluggishly, and she was busy saluting the hookah, and then looked her up and down with straight eyes, and when she saw her rare spirit, she continued to smile: "The girl is in good spirits today!" β
Shisha only smiled faintly and raised his eyes to look at her: "What is the matter with Mom?" β
"Not for the sake of the side, the eldest lady told the girl to clean up, just go over and know." Mother Wei seemed to have something hidden in her heart and said with a smile.
The hookah's eyes flashed dimly, and he only nodded lightly, turned his head and signaled the two hostas, and only went out with Wei's mother.
ββ
Following Wei's mother all the way, the hookah came to a courtyard, looked up, only to know that this was not the side, it was the front hall, her eyes couldn't help flashing, and a guess flashed in her heart.
Only according to the previous etiquette rules, he stood still in the hall, waiting for Wei's mother to go in and report.
A gentle voice came from inside: "Sister come in." β
The hookah took a deep breath, only lowered his eyes, and pressed the lotus step in.
I only felt that it was as warm as spring, and the dark fragrance was floating.
When he walked to the hall and stood still, he saluted with Wang Wei's blessing: "Uncle Shu'an." Then he realized that there was a man sitting next to her.
I seemed to have a number in my heart, but I still didn't dare to look up.
Just waiting for some of the people in the hall to sit still, they said in a trembling voice: "Yan'er? β
There was an indescribable bitterness in the hookah's heart, and then he gently raised his eyes to look at the man.
This lady is wrapped in a large peony emerald smoke and blue xia gown, with a plain trimmed pleated skirt, her skin is like clotted fat, her hands are like a home, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her earlobes are like jade, wearing a carnelian pendant, looking at it from a distance, she is as beautiful as a person in a painting.
It's just that the red of the peony flowers on this person's clothes is particularly eye-catching.
As expected, this is the Shen family's continued lady, the stepmother of the hookah, Sun.
The hookah endured the chill in her eyes, and only wanted to bow down, and a maid came up early to spread a puff mat and helped her kneel.
"Yan'er has seen Ah Ji, Ah Ji Yi'an."
The voice was soft and soft, and Sun saw a happy smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal her to get up.
The hookah was helped up by the jade on the side, and only sat on the big Luohan chair below, looking at Sun with obedient eyes, and his heart had already eased up.
Seeing that Wang Wei's face in the hall had always been stiff, and when he saw the hookah bowing down to her, he was unhappy, so he only glanced at Yan Yan and said: "I don't know what kind of wind it is, but I actually blew my sister-in-law here, and I am also a rare guest." β
Sun took a sip of tea, and when he heard this, his heart was stunned, his expression was slightly stiff, and he said lightly: "Isn't this my sister Yan'er, if I don't come, it won't be like words." β
"Oh, I don't know where to report God, my sister-in-law is very well-informed." Wang Weishi snorted slightly, his tone was not good, and he didn't look at her properly.
This "sister-in-law" was like a spike, screaming straight at Sun's heart, as if she deliberately mocked her and looked down on her, making her feel unhappy to listen to.
"Where is that? After all, how can you not care about your children? "Sun is not salty or indifferent.
"I don't understand this, I keep saying that it is for the child, so I will leave her alone in the old mansion and ignore it, this is also for the sake of the child? If you want me to see that this mother is just a nominal person, it doesn't matter! β
Wang Weishi glanced at Sun, snorted coldly, and finally landed on his ring, fiddling with it between his fingers, and his tone was cold.
Sun's brows frowned slightly, a little unhappy, and he also said calmly: "Since the uncle and the lady said this, then I don't need to save face for you, Sister Hengzhuyan is my Shen family, you are at most an outside relative, so hiding a child and not talking to her family, but you really think about the child!" β
When Wang Weishi heard this, he slapped the case violently, and was about to drink loudly, but the hookah in the hall cleared his throat first.
The hookah saw that the atmosphere was low, and the two people in the hall were also embarrassed for themselves, they should save some face, thinking that it was not good to stay any longer, their chests rose and fell, and they pretended to cough a few times in a hurry, their faces were a little pale, and they only covered their chests with their handkerchiefs, and their eyes were full of tears.
Seeing this, Wang Weishi suddenly swallowed his saliva, and his tone became soft: "Sister Yan'er turned to the side and rested." β
After saying that, the hookah turned around and looked down on the hosta, only whispered in response, and raised his hand to help them out.
Seeing the hookah leave, Wang Wei opened his mouth fiercely: "It's really a big joke, if you want to say that relatives are not relatives, then everyone up and down in the hall is here today, and I will explain it to Mrs. Sun, don't be embarrassed!" β
"If you want my Wang family to recognize you, you are the decent sister-in-law of my Wang family, if my Wang family does not recognize you, then my sister-in-law will return to the West early, which kind of relative are you? Fang didn't open his eyes before entering the door, this door was written on the Wang family, not your Shen family! β
As soon as these words fell, it was obvious that Wang Wei's monopolized Li'er, and Sun's was at a loss, but he didn't want to swallow this evil breath hard, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly wanted to come to another trick, so he smiled softly and said: "Uncle and lady, let's get rid of my anger, it's just for the sake of the child, and I know that you have a headache in your heart, Sister Yan?" Who can be comfortable in my heart, but the ancestors in the family thought about it tightly and asked me to pick it up, how can I shirk it? β
"Now you know how to hurt your child? changed the old lady's rhetoric again, and asked you to take it back like this, how can my family rest assured? Abandoning the child in Qingzhou is also a human doing? Who knows that if you take it back, you will be very confused by your family! Wang Wei said lightly.
"That's not because Sister Yan'er's child is not in good health, there should be bumps in the carriage, so I thought about leaving her in the old house in Qingzhou and then picking it up."
"Does this seem like my family is nosy and raising children with yours? Now that I've got to this point, I have to ask, can I afford to drag it out if I'm not in good health? It's so hard to get your hands on just a few pairs of medicine money? If her uncle doesn't let me go, when will your Shen family be ready to leave your sister behind? Wang Wei was a quick-tempered person, she only pinched the veil, and her eyes were red.
Seeing this, Sun was about to say something, but he only heard a commotion outside, followed by very fast footsteps.
And the curtain was lifted.
