There has been chatting in the room for a while.
Mrs. Cheng is sitting in the upper seat, Mrs. Ning is sitting on the left side, and below Mrs. Ning is Cheng Chiren's daughter-in-law, Mrs. He.
Sitting on the right side is Su Xing'er.
After not seeing each other for six years, Mrs. Cheng, who was thin at the time, has gained a little weight and has some frost on her temples, but she is in excellent spirits. Even though she has just recovered from the illness, her eyes are still shining.
Mr. He has always been a mild-mannered person, and his mind can really be used as a weight. No, as soon as she saw Fu Zhen come in, her white and tender oval face shone brightly, and she stood up: "The Fu family's sister is really beautiful!"
When Mr. He and Cheng Chiren got married, Liang Ning followed Liang Qin to send congratulations to the newlyweds. This nephew's wife kowtowed to Liang Ning too much. Now things have changed and Liang Ning has changed her shell. What she calls "sister"!
Having said that, the young mistress of the General's Mansion is so sincere that she only sees her younger sister without seeing anyone else!
Fu Zhen bowed to them one by one without saying a word.
Mrs. Cheng's voice was like a bell: "Quickly excuse yourself! Hurry up and sit down!"
This disease looks really good!
I just don’t know when I can taste her folk dishes again...
"This girl is so elegant and generous, I like her as soon as I see her!"
Mrs. Cheng seemed to have a good rapport with Mrs. Ning, and the two of them started talking warmly about Fu Zhen.
Su Xing'er pulled Fu Zhen to sit next to her: "I just heard from Mrs. Ning that Miss Fu has a deficiency syndrome. Grandma He specially asked someone to prepare ginger and jujube tea. Try it later and see if it suits your taste."
The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, whom they haven't seen for six years, are handkerchiefs and kisses. She is thinner and darker than six years ago. Just by looking at her face, you can imagine that in the past few years when Liang Chen was away from Beijing, she took care of the affairs at home and abroad. What a blessing it would be to have to single-handedly discipline that little devil Liang Xuan!
Su Xing'er's temperament was completely different from Liang Ning's, but she was Liang Ning's best sister. She used to be gentle and beautiful, but after they got married, Liang Chen and Liang Xuan became like this!
Thinking of this, she asked: "I wonder if the general's wife has received the things that young general Liang Zhi sent me this morning?"
Su Xing'er was ordered by her husband to have a good contact with this Miss Fu today, and she was still thinking about how to open up the conversation. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to mention Liang Zhi!
This made her pause for a moment before she responded: "I got it, thank you Miss Fu for your concern! The second child in our family is careless and careless. I didn't expect to become friends with Miss Fu..."
Fu Zhen knew that she was testing, so he smiled, took a cup of fragrant health tea from the maid, then opened the small jar next to it, picked out a few brown sugar with a small silver spoon and dropped it into the tea cup.
Then he said: "General Liang has a warm heart. I believe everyone will be willing to be friends with him."
Su Xing'er stared at her movements without blinking. Seeing her pick out three brown sugars and put them into the tea cup, and then drink tea from the cup with great skill, she raised her eyes in surprise: "Ms. Fu Do you also need to add brown sugar when drinking health tea?"
Fu Zhen responded calmly: "Yes, no more, no less, exactly three."
Su Xing'er's expression gradually stagnated: "What a coincidence."
Fu Zhen said: "Has the general's wife seen anyone else having such a habit of drinking tea as a civilian girl?"
Su Xing'er nodded slowly: "I have seen it before."
After saying that, she looked towards Fu Zhen again.
Fu Zhen paid attention out of the corner of his eye, pretending not to care, and drank tea slowly.
On the side, Mr. He suggested: "Why sit here? The tea has been brewed in the garden. Why don't we take advantage of the fine weather to walk around and enjoy the flowers and have tea."
"That's right!" Mrs. Cheng gave a high-five, "Although I am a sick waste, I am still better. I have long been tired of staying in the house! Let's go, I will lead the way for you!"
After saying that, she stood up, supported by He, and called everyone to the door.
Su Xing'er seemed to have just come back to her senses, stretched out her hand to hold Fuzhen, and walked at the end of the team.
I went out onto the verandah and entered the garden not far away.
After entering the garden gate, Fu Zhen looked at the scenery along the way with great interest. When she saw the parrot hanging on the corridor, she even puckered her lips to tease it.
Su Xing'er's thoughts were focused on her, and her pace slowed down as she walked.
"Miss Fu's temperament is really unexpected."
Fu Zhen stopped: "What do you say, madam?"
Su Xing'er said: "You are more free and easy than all the ladies I have ever seen."
Fu Zhen heard the words and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, madam, I am actually good at martial arts. The delicate young lady, that is the misunderstanding of me by outsiders. Not long ago, I personally carried Mrs. Du San down the mountain for a long time. Mountain road.”
Su Xing'er was moved: "I have also heard about this matter. It also includes... some family affairs rumors in your house. Of course, the rumors are quite outrageous, so naturally I won't take them seriously."
"If it's about my father doting on his concubine and killing his wife, then the rumors are all true." Fu Zhen looked at her deeply, "My mother has endured the humiliation for many years, and it was my appearance that promoted this result."
Su Xing'er was stunned for a moment: "Your appearance? What do you mean?"
Fu Zhen said slowly: "That is to say, the Fu Zhen in the past is different from the Fu Zhen now. The Fu Zhen in the past was indeed a delicate little girl. More than a month ago, I became the me you see now. .”
Su Xing'er could hardly control her expression: "You mean, what happened more than a month ago that changed you?"
"Exactly." Fu Zhen nodded deeply, and then smiled at her astonished face: "We are falling behind, let's catch up first."
After saying that, she naturally stretched out her right hand, put it on Su Xing'er's right shoulder, and protected her as she walked down the stone steps.
Su Xing'er injured her right leg when she was learning to ride a horse when she was a child. She can walk quickly when walking on flat roads, but when walking uphill or downhill or on stairs, the old injury will feel uncomfortable.
So every time he walked with her, Liang Ning would hold her shoulders like this and let her lend a little strength.
Fu Zhen knew that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Drinking tea just now had already affected her thoughts. Now that there was a lot of talk, she had better let her digest it first.
When Su Xing'er hugged Fu Zhen's shoulders, she involuntarily tensed up her upper body and turned her head to look at her...
This movement and gesture made Su Xing'er's whole body tingle!
There are only two people in the world who would protect her while walking like this!
One is her husband Liang Chen!
The other one is her husband’s aunt, who is also her handkerchief to Liang Ning!
"How did you..."
As an outsider who had just met, and a person of unequal status, it was absolutely disrespectful for her to hug the general's wife like him so intimately!
Of course, Su Xing'er definitely didn't care about this, but Fu Zhen not only did this, but he also did it so confidently, so skillfully!
It was like she had done the same thing countless times before!
But how did she know the difficulty in her legs when she went down the stairs? !
