Chapter 70: The Old Lady's Low-key Show Off (Second Watch)
Han Yuan, there is no eagerness for brother and sister to see each other, if it is the usual old lady, how can she get up to greet her, and then care about the old lady Liu's body, the face is still needed.
But this morning, Wen Mianmian just talked about the book, which evoked the dusty memory of the old lady, and she felt even more hateful when she saw the Liu family again.
The old man sat down and drank tea, and from the moment he entered the door, he was waiting for this girl to take the initiative to speak first, and it was best to ask the family if they were doing well or something, so that what he wanted to say would be said naturally.
But the old lady only greeted everyone and only said a few words, but did not say much.
The old lady Xie of Qinghou Mansion calmly picked up the tea cup, and tasted it slowly, her eyes flashed slightly, the tea fragrance was elegant, and the entrance was sweet and sweet, she still tasted it at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Fuguo Mansion last time, and said that it was a tribute tea.
I didn't expect it to be here, and this discovery made her feel very uncomfortable.
"My aunt's tea here is really good, the fragrance is long, sweet and sweet, it is said that only the tribute tea can have such a taste."
It was Xie Yuan'er, a girl from Qinghou Mansion who spoke, Xie Yuan'er was wearing a tender green skirt, a small goose egg face was very beautiful, and her skin like snow was even more like clotted fat against the backdrop of tender green clothes.
The old lady smiled faintly, "This tea was brought by your cousin, and I didn't say where it came from, so it's not bad to drink." ”
Xie Yuan'er said with a smile: "My cousin is a minister of the imperial court, and he has the emperor's reward, and my aunt and grandmother are so blessed." ”
Saying that, a pair of eyebrows looked out, "It's hot in the afternoon at this time, but my cousin is still taking a nap?" ”
Speaking of which, they noticed that the room was very cool, and the ice in the corner was exuding a faint cool air.
The old lady smiled again, "That child is a snooze, and he will sleep for an hour after lunch." ”
Xie Yuan'er was much stronger than Liu Tianhua, who had already sunk her face, and there was no dissatisfaction on her face, and she said with a smile, "My cousin is still young, and it is the time to grow up, so I want to sleep more, and I will go to see her later." ”
In this way, the old lady felt a little more comfortable.
Old lady Liu couldn't bear it, put down the tea cup in her hand, and took the lead in opening her mouth, "Eldest sister, how are you doing lately?" ”
The old lady smiled slightly, "Thank you big brother for your concern, everything is fine." ”
Old lady Liu pretended to ask, "Why don't you see your brother-in-law?" ”
There was a hint of ridicule in Mrs. Xie's eyes, after so many years, her eldest brother-in-law is still unsightly?
The old lady glanced at her faintly, took in her expression, and immediately pretended not to care, "There are many things in the newspaper, and now I am not in the house during the day." ”
"Brother-in-law went to the newspaper?"
Seeing a few people surprised, the old lady felt inexplicably comfortable in her heart, and couldn't help showing off, "His grandson-in-law said that he was brilliant with one hand, and personally invited him to accompany the picture for the "Chaobao". ”
A few people turned a corner before they realized who the 'granddaughter' meant, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and Mrs. Liu was already sour, "The pictures in the newspaper were all made by my brother-in-law?" ”
The old lady said very implicitly, "Probably yes." ”
Who doesn't know that the portrait of Lord Wang Huan on the first issue of "Chaobao" is very expressive, and they are guessing that it must be King Annan who invited the holy hand of Danqing to paint it.
I never thought it was like this, but...
Such a mediocre person can enter the newspaper office, but what about other people?
"Eldest sister, your nephew is eighteen years old this year, and he has been studying hard all these years, and he is quite literary and talented, just when the newspaper is short of manpower, why don't you let him go in and practice?"
Old Lady Liu said and sighed, "The Liu family can only count on your nephew now." ”
The old lady was waiting for his words, and when she figured out the purpose of her mother's family's coming, she was even more desperate, and then said:
"The newspaper is recruiting, and if you want to go in, just sign up."
Old lady Liu was annoyed and continued: "That child went out to party with his classmates today, and Ben also said that he came to visit his aunt and grandmother in person, thinking that in the future, under the care of his aunt and cousin, he would go more smoothly. ”
At this time, Mrs. Xie also spoke, "Eldest sister, you also know the current situation of the Liu family, since it is a matter that should be done in one sentence, why bother with the eldest brother to say so many good things, then the newspaper recruits no one, not to mention that it is better than the second child of the Fu family." ”
The brother and sister sang and harmonized, and the old lady lost a smile on her face, "I haven't seen each other for too long, the eldest brother and the second sister don't know that I have never cared about things outside over the years, not to mention that the newspaper is still from the imperial court, and it is not something that I can do with a word from an old woman." ”
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why spend so much thought, we are all old, this person should take care of himself when he is old."
As soon as the words fell, the chief steward Wang Qing came with the little girl Qinglan beside Hua Jingyun, Qinglan carried a food box, and used an azure porcelain bowl to take advantage of a bowl of chilled bird's nest, and bowed forward and said: "Old lady Qiqi, the chef in the house has a new dessert, and the prince asked the little one to give the old lady a copy and taste one or two." ”
The color of the porcelain bowl is clear and transparent, the bird's nest is soaked in snow-white milk, and the jade pearl balls made of juice are embellished, and the spoon is wooden, and the plum blossom is carved at the end of the spoon handle, which is extremely delicate.
Such a bowl of dessert tastes excellent just by looking at it, and there are so many people sitting in the room, but only one is available.
Mama Hua presented the bowl to the old lady, and the old lady was quite useful, refreshed, "The dim sum master in the house is really extraordinary, thank you for me." ”
Qinglan didn't seem to see the other people in the room at all, and said with a smile: "As soon as this snack was made, the prince praised it with his heart, saying that such a pleasing dessert woman would use it well, so he thought about sending one to the old lady, Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen, and a bowl of it in the hot summer can also be comfortable." ”
The old lady smiled, her mood suddenly brightened, her depression disappeared, and she lowered her head and tasted two sips, feeling refreshed all over.
Qinglan bowed, "Old lady, you are slow, the little one has retired." ”
The old lady put down the bowl and wiped her mouth, and Mama Hua stepped forward to remove the snack.
This made Mrs. Liu's eyes red with envy and hatred, and Mrs. Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she also knew that this eldest sister was different now, and her waist was stiffened when her children and grandchildren were promising.
"Big sister, I see that King Annan is also very interested in the in-laws of the Chinese family, and it should not be difficult for the descendants of the Liu family to enter the newspaper hall."
"Brother, why don't you wait for Shumian to come back and ask him what he means?"
