Xu Nuo was about to refuse, but when he was about to speak, he found a silence in the room and swallowed his words again. 【Read full text】
An old woman walked past her and sat on the chair in the flower hall. The old woman has a straight back, majestic facial features, and unusually clear and sharp eyes. She is obviously Mrs. Wang, the head of the Wang family.
After a brief silence, which was better than the previous noise, a group of juniors paid their respects to Mrs. Wang.
Wang Muyu went to Mrs. Wang's side with a promise: "Grandma, this is Xu Liuniang who painted the portrait during the tea show."
"Oh? It's a good idea to paint portraits. If you have some free time today, let me take a look at it." Mrs. Wang showed a smile on her lips and looked at Wang Muyu with loving eyes. The only granddaughter of the Wang family is naturally very loved.
When Xu Nuo stood closer, he realized that Wang Muyu and Mrs. Wang's faces were somewhat similar, and Wang Muyu's ability and confidence were obviously learned from Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Zhang sat next to Mrs. Wang, and took Xu Nuo's hand, with a smile on her face: "This girl was injured a few days ago, and all her past memories are gone. I never thought she was a good student of tea ceremony. I learned how to order tea in half a month, and the tea play was so exquisite that people were amazed. What was painful was that there were a lot of rumors outside, saying bad things about this child. I couldn't sleep with worry in those days, and tried my best not to let her go out, for fear of her. I’m sad to hear that…Fortunately, everything is over.”
Mrs. Zhang said very sadly, and moved her other hand on her chest a few times. Mrs. Wang could not help but comfort her with a few words, and during this period, Xu Nuo's hand was always held by Mrs. Zhang.
Madam Wang lowered her eyes and saw Xu Nuo's skirt embroidered with willow branches. Her eyes lit up and she praised her for a few words. Mrs. Zhang said: "Liu Niang is very playful. There is a maid in the house who likes to tinker with these things. Now she actually It's worn out. I didn't notice it before, otherwise I wouldn't have let her wear it out, it would be too eye-catching."
"No, this is just the right thing to wear for your young age." As Mrs. Wang spoke, her eyes turned around Xu Nuo twice more, nodding in admiration.
Mrs. Zhang also smiled proudly, then let go of Xu Nuo's hand and let her leave.
Xu Nuo felt that her world view had been subverted. Zhang had never treated her so affectionately in the Xu family, let alone held her hand. She didn't expect that she would be used as a source of bragging here!
He raised his head with lingering fear, and when he saw Zhang's loving gaze, he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
Could it be that Xu Qian's habit of doing one thing in front of others and doing another behind her back was learned from Zhang!
After exhaling, she quietly exited. Chuntang was waiting for her outside.
Seeing Xu Nuo come out, Chuntang hurriedly came up to greet her: "Madam, today... I have made you suffer today." Chuntang's eyes had long since lost tears, but she looked apologetic.
Xunuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know what grandma said just now?"
Chuntang shook her head. She was far away and didn't hear it.
"She complimented me on my talent for learning tea art and complimented me on the pretty skirt I wore." As she spoke, she walked towards a side door and laughed wildly a few times when no one was around.
Chuntang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and then a look of disdain appeared on his face, which he hurriedly covered up. How could the old lady be such a duplicitous person?
Go out from the side door and walk through the corridor. After entering, you enter the yard and then go out, and you will see a few pear trees.
There is a pavilion in the middle of the pear trees, and behind the pavilion is a patch of snow. As Wang Muyu said, there are countless pear trees in the pear garden.
"Cousin!" Xu Nuo suddenly heard a familiar voice, Xu Erniang!
"Second cousin." Ding Mo's voice was very gentle, but mixed with a little helplessness.
"You really don't like me? You give me gifts every birthday. Could it be..." Xu Erniang has a domineering temperament, so Xu Nuo is not surprised when she asks such a question. However, Chun Tang on the side is frightened and turns to leave. For the maidservant , some words cannot be heard, and some things cannot be seen.
Xu Nuo ignored her, lowered his body slightly and raised his ears.
"Second cousin, I also give birthday gifts to my eldest cousin and third cousin every year." Through the snow-white pear blossoms, Xu Nuo vaguely saw Ding Mo wearing a blue cloud-patterned bat brocade robe.
Xu Qian started sobbing, her voice was very low, but Xu Nuo had good ears and could hear clearly.
"Cousin, didn't you give them gifts just to give me something? Could I have made a mistake? Mom doesn't allow me to see you, but I'm not willing to give in. I want to ask clearly."
It turns out that Mrs. Ding has given up on her marriage to Ding Mo, and Xu Erniang did this entirely on her own initiative! It's so stupid. Ding Mo has a bright future, so how could he fall in love with a merchant's daughter, even his cousin.
Xunuo was listening in interest when she heard footsteps behind her. She thought it was Chuntang calling her, so she hurriedly pressed down twice with her hand, signaling her to step softer and come over and squat.
Then someone called beside her: "Sixth Lady."
Although the voice was not loud, it was not quiet either. Xunuo was startled, and after confirming that there was no response from Ding Mo, he turned his head and lowered his voice and asked, "Ji Langjun, why are you here?"
Ji Xuan was wearing a white cloth robe as always, his hair was tied up with a green belt, and his eyes were as clean and translucent as the crystal clear spring water.
He smiled awkwardly and pointed behind Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo turned around and saw Zhu Shang standing not far away. He squinted his eyes, with a smile on his lips. He wore a moon-white straight-fronted robe, and a piece of black jade hung around his waist. The shape was rough, but extremely simple.
Seeing Xu Nuo looking over, his smile widened and he bowed over: "Sixth lady, it's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."
Xu Nuo looked away from him and wondered what are you doing.
In the woods, Xu Erniang suddenly raised her voice and asked crying: "Cousin, do you have someone you like? That's why you rejected me so cruelly?" Fortunately, Xu Erniang was pampered since she was a child. Her father is the eldest son and her mother is the legitimate daughter, so she won't say "I" in her mouth. If you are willing to be your concubine, otherwise your reputation will be ruined.
From the gap between the flowers, you can see Ding Mo taking a few steps back: "Second cousin, I don't have anyone I like, and I am just a Gongsheng student now. My father said that he would consider marriage for me after I become a Jinshi. You can't wait. .”
He could pass the Jinshi examination next year at the earliest, and Xu Erniang would be almost eighteen by then, so she really couldn't wait.
And he went out for a month after the Qingming tea fight, which was exactly what his grandfather wanted. His grandfather told his aunt and second cousin what they wanted, and asked him to go away for a month to avoid a tense situation at home. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by his second cousin when he came back.
Age is the most heartbreaking thing for Xu Erniang. She is two months younger than Ding Mo. They are both sixteen this year. Because they are close in age, they often played together when they were young. She has always wanted to marry Ding Mo, but Ding Mo never Never had such an idea.
