Chapter 70: On the Dinner Table
In this way, the two complementary people, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, the happier they became, and they tacitly reached a friendship, and they were also each other's first friends in the true sense.
Many years later, recalling the first time they met, they still felt that this was God's arrangement, so that the two of them had the fate to meet, get acquainted, and join hands with each other in the vast sea of people, and go through the long road ahead.
They sat and chatted, from the interesting things in Beijing, to the affairs of the ladies of various prefectures, from the daily life of the general's mansion, to the delicious delicacies, from the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to the martial arts moves, and from the beautiful scenery of the four seas, to all living beings in the world......
They chatted casually, thinking about it and talking about it, regardless of what they wanted or what they said. Han Caishan's face was full of excitement, and she kept talking with a small mouth, immersed in boundless happiness.
Yu Zhuo always smiled, and inserted a sentence or two if he knew, and occasionally asked if he didn't understand, and discussed it carefully with interest......
In such a pleasant atmosphere, time has passed silently for a long time. They chatted happily, but they didn't feel that the time was long at all, like sitting on pins and needles, and it was the first time that Zhuo Zhuo experienced the happiness of getting along with each other like this.
"Miss......"
Xing Zi, who was standing behind Yan Zhuo, shouted softly, and Yan Zhuo and Han Caishan both turned their heads.
Xing Zi gestured into the distance, "Miss, Qingdai has been found, everything should be arranged properly, let Miss go back to dinner." ”
It's noon at the moment?
Yan Zhuo glanced at Han Caishan, a smile flashed in his eyes, they chatted too selflessly, they didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
"Caishan, it's not too early, let's all go back. Yan Zhuo stood up and also stretched out his hand to pull Han Caishan up.
Han Caishan pouted, her cute and beautiful face wrinkled, "Ah, how did time pass so quickly, just after talking for a while, this time has passed." ”
She is quite frustrated, and she also has a bit of a taste of reluctance, and Yan Zhuo also has this feeling in her heart, which is not happy.
"It's okay, it's not like we can't see each other, let's go back for the time being, you also know where my camp is, just come to me if you have nothing to do." Yan Zhuo comforted Han Caishan softly.
"Really, great, then don't bother me then......" Cai Shan's eyes were shining, and the joy in them made people happy.
You are so cute, who will be tired of you~~ Yan Zhuo thought to himself, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Then I'll go, I'll see you later~" Han Caishan winked at Yan Zhuo playfully, and her smart appearance made her happy again.
Han Caishan took her maid and servant back to her camp, and Yan Zhuo also embarked on the journey back.
"Miss, the meals are almost ready," Qing Dai walked to Yan Zhuo's left side and said, "The master said, today is not in the house, and everyone lives close, it is rare to get together, so we will eat together today." ”
Yan Zhuo's footsteps were paused, and she was quite annoyed by this decision, when she saw Yan Yun'er and her second aunt, she lost her appetite, how could she continue to eat?
Father's life is embarrassing, she sighed, just go, she will eat her own food with peace of mind, see that her father is here, what else can the second aunt and Yan Yun'er do.
She was happy because of Han Caishan, and fell to the bottom because of the upcoming meal, and then slowly calmed down.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was slightly depressing, and the family members of the Zhenguo Mansion sat at the dinner table, eating without anger and without saying a word.
Yan Zhuo's mother was sitting on top of Yan Zhuo, and from time to time she gave Yan Zhuo a few dishes that she thought were delicious, but Yan Zhuo couldn't catch them, Yan Zhuo also sat in her place and ate silently.
I thought that this meal was going to end silently like this, but I didn't expect that Yan Yun'er, who loves to be a demon, really couldn't help it.
She first glanced sideways at her father, and felt that her father was in a good mood at the moment, so she boldly said, "Sister, why didn't you go to the place where the ladies of various provinces gathered today?"
Yan Yun'er peeked at her father's face and found that her father's expression had not changed, and he did not mean to stop her, so he was even more bold. "A lot of my sisters asked me and thought you weren't here. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Yan Zhuo, her eyes widened, as if she was very curious, waiting for Yan Zhuo on the other side to give her an answer.
"Something. Yan Zhuo didn't raise his head, and replied casually.
"Sister, how can this be done? You are Miss Yan of the Guogong Mansion," Yan Yun'er deliberately bit on the three words "Miss Yan", "You represent the Guogong Mansion, how can you not go and say hello to these young ladies of the various provinces first? In this way, others don't know how rude our Guogong Mansion is." ”
Yan Yun'er pursed her lips, revealing some of her little daughter's innocence, as if there was no secret complaint or complaint in her words, but pure kindness, let her say these words.
"Ah, sister, I'm all kind, don't blame Yun'er for being talkative. Yan Yun'er paused for a while, looked at Yan Zhuo on the other side and kept his head down, and covered his mouth without saying a word, a little scared.
Yan Yun'er, your acting skills are really perfect, Yan Zhuo sighed secretly in his heart.
"It's okay, my sister is kind, how can my sister blame you? It's just that my sister has other important things to do in the morning, so I can't go to visit the ladies from other provinces at the first time. My sister didn't put herself in the shoes of other noble girls, it was really my sister's, it was my sister's inconsiderate. ”
Yan Zhuo raised his head and looked straight at Yan Yun'er opposite. Yan Yun'er looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little provocative.
"However, I am the lady of the Guogong Mansion, and this status is not bad from the perspective of the capital, and naturally I can't run to the daughter of a minister, doesn't this make our Guogong Mansion lose its share? Yan Zhuo glanced at Yan Yun'er, whose face was pale, and smiled lightly.
"Therefore, when my sister is ready to officially organize a gathering in the afternoon, I will greet these ladies one by one, so that I will not lose my share, but also take into account the feelings of the ladies of each province, I wonder if my sister thinks it is appropriate?"
"My sister is thoughtful. Yan Yun'er's face was red, she bit her lip, lowered her head, and the handkerchief in her hand became a victim again, and she rubbed it again. She hated it so much, how could she be so clever now? She was so eloquent, it seemed that she used to underestimate her.
If a counterattack is successful, it may be that the person is forced to be in a hurry, or it may be lucky, but the second time it can be overcome in the verbal confrontation, then it is not only luck, but the ability of that person.
Yan Yun'er has followed her second aunt since she was a child, and she is naturally not stupid, she clearly understands in her heart at this moment that Yan Zhuo has changed, and she is no longer the person she can easily hold in words and frame her.
This Yan Zhuo is getting more and more powerful, naturally it is not a good thing, Yan Yun'er glanced at the second aunt, and saw that the second aunt was calm, and she didn't seem to take the changes in this stinky girl in her eyes.
The second aunt naturally saw the complexity and hatred in Yan Yun'er's eyes when she looked at her. In order not to let the old man see it, she grabbed a chopstick lotus root and put it in Yan Yun'er's bowl.
"Yun'er, eat with peace of mind, have you forgotten the rule of not saying anything about food and sleeping?" The second aunt looked as usual, had a gentle attitude, and played the role of a gentle mother.
"Come, the eldest lady also eats, the eldest lady has suffered during this time, and she has lost a lot of weight on this face. Saying that, the second aunt also sandwiched vegetables and meat for Yan Zhuo, and her tone was even more indescribably intimate and caring.
If it weren't for the fact that this was under his father's nose, Yan Zhuo would really be able to doubt whether there was poison in the dishes that the second aunt sandwiched. But now, obviously she didn't dare, Yan Zhuo nodded, "Second Aunt Xie." ”
"Hey, why are the family so polite. ”
In an instant, a scene of father's filial piety and mother's virtuous family was staged, but the protagonist was the second aunt. Oh, the second aunt is really going to be in the limelight.
"Mother, you eat vegetables. Yan Zhuo no longer paid attention to this group of filthy people, sandwiched the food for his mother, and never said a word again, only eating his own food quietly.
Yan Yun'er on the side also quieted down, with her head down, with a touch of smugness in her eyes. She had just heard the clue from her mother's words, her mother, was to make her feel at ease.
Yes, she has nothing to worry about, after tomorrow, Yan Zhuo will be nothing. Thinking of tomorrow's hunting, the corners of Yan Yun'er's mouth also hooked a wicked smile, Yan Zhuo, can't you say it? When you see it, how do you explain it!
Yan Yun'er knew everything, and when she thought about it, she put aside the worries and worries in her heart, and when she raised her head again, she had a sunny smile on her face, as if nothing had happened just now, and she didn't squeak anymore, eating her own food seriously, playing the role of a cute and well-behaved child.
Zhenguo Gong Yan Zheng finished eating, and then stood up, "I've finished eating, you can eat slowly." ”
"Master, how can you eat so little, don't use a little more. ”
The second aunt quickly stood up and said with concern.
"No need. Yan Zheng had already walked to the door of the tent, leaving everyone with just an indifferent word and an indifferent back.
Mrs. Yan looked at Yan Zheng's back, and a trace of distress flashed, but she didn't say anything.
Yan Zhuo pursed his lips, except for when she was a child, her father was amiable, when she grew up, he has always been so indifferent, he doesn't care about her, it seems that he is extremely busy every day, he can't see people a few times, and he can't say a few words together.
Is this daddy still daddy? Yan Zhuo smiled miserably.
In this home, except for her mother, she really can't feel a trace of warmth.
