Ding's complexion is not good, and her eyes are dark and blue that cannot be covered up by makeup or makeup, but as the mistress of the Xu family, she has to do some things. [Read the latest chapter] He forced a smile, pointed to the two people on the side and introduced Xu Nuo: "Liu Niang, this is Mrs. Du, this is the eldest wife of the Du family."
Xu Nuo said hello to the two of them, and Mrs. Du gave her an exquisitely carved gold comb. She did not refuse, thanked her, and accepted the gift generously.
Lu was relieved when she saw it. She didn't know why the master didn't let her tell Liu Niang that the Du family had arrived and that Ren Ren and Siniang had ended their confinement. He insisted that she see Liu Niang's reaction and tell him in detail when she got back. .
Isn't this a normal reaction?
"You kids, go play. Today's class will be suspended for one day." Old Mrs. Xu said. The Du family has a great business, and their mistress has come with her daughter. Aunt Du is of low status and cannot meet guests, but why? Xu Qian, who has some relationship with the Du family, must also be allowed to come out to entertain guests.
The three of them saluted and left. As soon as they left Langyuan Hall, Aunt Du took Xu Qian's arm and said affectionately: "Siniang, what gift are you going to give to the old man of the Ding family for his birthday?" Everyone is celebrating the birthday of the old man of the Ding family. I don’t want to miss it, or it’s an opportunity. If I can come up with a brilliant gift, it will naturally bring a lot of benefits in the future.
Her mother was planning to bring her over in a few days, but Xu Qian sent a letter suggesting that they come earlier. He said that he could visit a few more houses. At the end of the letter, he mentioned that Ding Shiro would come to Suzhou a few days in advance.
She had already heard of Ding Silang's virtuous reputation, admired him and admired him. After hearing the news, she could not wait to come to Suzhou City immediately. After hearing this, my mother packed her luggage that day and hurried over in a carriage the next day.
Xu Qian showed a faint smile and said in a soft voice: "I am just a junior, how can I have the face to present a gift to Mr. Ding on his birthday." After speaking, she glanced at Xu Nuo who was standing aside.
Xu Nuo was tilting his head to look at a cluster of winter jasmine flowers on the roadside, and didn't notice Xu Qian's gaze. But in her heart, she was thinking that Xu Qian had been practicing the song "Picking Mulberries" day and night, but she had the nerve to say that she was not prepared.
Open your eyes and tell lies.
Aunt Du immediately smiled when she heard this, and her voice became a little more intimate: "Let's go to your place, and you play a piece of music for me." Xu Qian's piano was taught by her mother, Lu, and I don't know what it is now. However, since she wasn't going to give a gift, she didn't need to care about how well she played, just a few compliments.
"Okay, you can play a song too, and we can give each other some pointers." Xu Qian looked at Aunt Du, who was three years younger than her, and all her thoughts were reflected on her face. She felt contempt but did not show it on her face. Smile brightly.
"How can I compare with you? I'd better not show my shame." Aunt Du replied with a smile, feeling a little proud in her heart.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they headed towards Lianyi Pavilion.
Xu Nuo was a few steps behind them. When they reached the fork in the road, they turned around and prepared to go back to their own courtyard.
As soon as she turned around and before she even raised her feet, Xu Qian's soft voice came into her ears: "Liu Niang, come too. Maybe you and I haven't gotten together for a long time."
When Xu Nuo heard Xu Qian's voice, she couldn't help but feel angry. She didn't scream sooner or later, but when she decided to go back, the timing was too good.
Then she secretly sighed. She had suffered a loss from Xu Qian a few days ago, so she probably didn't have any good intentions when calling her now.
Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Aunt Du whisper: "Siniang, what did you ask her to do? Can't she break the strings as soon as she touches the piano? Your piano is so good, how dare you let her touch it?"
Xu Nuo was surprised. Has this matter spread?
It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
As for the news that spread out the day before yesterday that she poisoned her mother with drugs to mute her mother, I don't know how it will be spread again. She must be regarded by the world as the kind of person who is stupid, stupid, and unfilial and unkind.
No wonder the Du family's mother and daughter looked at her like that.
His mind was spinning, but he refused to say it out loud. Xu Nuo turned around and replied calmly: "In the past few days, I have only been able to listen to the sound of Fourth Sister's piano from a distance. If I can get a closer look today, it will naturally be extremely exciting." OK."
Being too sharp can sometimes lead to being framed. This place is different from modern times. If you are not careful, your life will be hard to save.
She was a straightforward person in her previous life. After time travel, she blindly suppressed her personality in order to save her life. She only showed her little brains in front of Qi Qi.
However, her easily provoked temper could not be suppressed, whether it was Xu Erniang's ridicule last time or this time.
The smile on Xu Qian's face faded a little, but she persuaded Aunt Du obediently, and the three of them went to Lianyi Pavilion together.
Xu Qian's yard is neat and clean, and the decoration is very unique.
After entering the house, she first asked one maid to make tea, and then asked another to fetch the piano.
Aunt Du didn't like Xu Nuo, let alone hearing rumors about Xu Nuo's unfilial piety. As soon as she entered the room, she sat at the farthest seat from Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo didn't care and looked at the interior decoration.
The yellow flowers and trees on the couch are carved with pictures of plum trees, blue and white porcelain vases are placed on two low tables, and the Arhat bed is covered with fine blankets. Everywhere in the house is exquisite.
Only then did Xu Nuo witness with his own eyes how his father and mother treated Xu Qian as their legitimate daughter.
Xu Qian saw Xu Nuo looking at the things in the room with admiration. The corners of her mouth raised and she pointed at the tea cup on the table: "This is the Jian Kiln tea cup that my mother asked Grandma Li to send a few days ago."
Xu Nuo picked it up and looked at it: "My mother brought me two sets of tea cups that day. I asked for the set of rabbit hair cups. I didn't like this set, so I gave it to you."
"Of course you pick the good stuff first. Sister, no matter what I use, it's the same." Xu Qian's face didn't change, she held up her skirt and sat behind the piano, pressing her hands on the strings: "This guqin was made by my father on his seventh birthday. As a gift to me, I played the song "Die Lian Hua" at that time. My father was very happy and went to an antique shop to find a pair of porcelain vases from the early Tang Dynasty. This thing is so precious that I can't bear to put it outside."
Aunt Du's family was well off, and there were many antiques from the Tang Dynasty in her house, so she was not curious about the porcelain vase Xu Qian was talking about, and just silently flipped through the music scores.
Xu Nuo would not give Xu Qian any compliments, and said nothing, pretending to be stupid and looking out the window.
It was quiet for a while.
Xu Qian gritted her teeth. After talking for so long, the two people in front of her didn't react at all. Aunt Du just let it go. Isn't Xu Nuo jealous of her father and mother's love for her?
I thought back then that I was so jealous of her that sometimes I couldn't even eat her food. Why did she look so calm now!
