Geng Xingshuang said to Ruan, while he stepped forward and touched Hong Fu's head comfortingly. Hong Fu's head was rubbed by the hostess's white and tender hands. He was so comfortable that even his screams changed the tone, and there were bursts of "" from deep in his throat. "Gurgulu" sound, very happy.
Ruan had already opened a package, and the top of the package was an envelope. But as soon as she saw the iron-painted silver hook-like font on the envelope, Ruan handed the letter to her daughter.
"It's a letter from Mukuro."
Ruan was very considerate. Her daughter and Yang Qingmo had been engaged since childhood. Although they had not yet gotten married, it would be a matter of time. She was happy to see the two of them communicating frequently all year round and never objected.
Although her husband will complain about this from time to time, but so what, she just needs to support her. If her husband can't even comfort his son, then he shouldn't interfere with his daughter's affairs.
Geng Xingshuang sometimes felt that her mother was really a smart, open-minded and independent mother.
Except for the small shortcomings of being unable to stop embroidery every time and forgetting to take care of herself, her mother is perfect.
While Geng Xingshuang was praising her mother in her heart, she was digging through the baggage from which Ruan had just taken out the letter.
"Read the letter first, you won't be able to rummage through it as soon as you get it."
Ruan had already dug out the letter written by Geng Shuhuai from another baggage. Seeing the wilder and rougher font on the envelope, Ruan finally felt more at ease.
In fact, Geng Shuhuai's handwriting is not ugly, but since he said he would abandon literature and join martial arts eight years ago, his handwriting has become more and more trendy.
The Ruan family will not speak of a son for this matter, and since they are not preparing for the imperial examination, they can just use the word as they wish. Maybe they will form their own style.
As for Geng Wen, he wanted to say it, but he had no chance to say it. Even if he found a chance, it would be in vain.
"I'm not looking through anything, I'm looking through a book!"
Geng Xingshuang replied with a somewhat disappointed tone. There were a lot of things in the baggage, including banknotes, new designs from Pingcheng, and new jewelry, but there was nothing she wanted.
Hualiand Jinbao both knew that their girl must be looking for a storybook. They stared at Geng Xingshuang's hand, hoping to see the storybook in her hand.
After the girls read the storybook, they loved to tell them the stories in it when they had nothing to do. Their voices were full of emotion, and their intonations followed the plot of the story. They thought it was better than what the storytellers in the teahouse outside told them.
Hua Lian thought about the last time he went to Mingshang Pavilion, Banjuan still regretted that he could no longer listen to the girl's stories. Fortunately, the girl agreed to lend her the storybook she had read, and then he felt that there was hope.
"Really do not have!"
Reluctantly, Geng Xingshuang searched for it again, and once again confirmed that there was still no script this time, she opened the envelope with some composure.
Mrs. Ruan read her son's letter carefully. His handwriting was wild and wild. She still needed to read it carefully and carefully before she could read every word accurately. For the time being, she could not control her daughter's pickyness. .
Geng Xingshuang quickly read Yang Qingmo's letter. Most of what he said in the letter was the same as before. He first said that he had received her letter and was surprised by what happened in the uncle's house. In fact, Geng Xingshuang I don't think he was surprised at all. It was just because he wrote this part of the story and people didn't respond to it, so he gave her a little reaction and then greeted her and her parents.
Turning to the next page, I saw it said: "The hundred taels of silver I send with this letter can be used to buy delicious food, clothing, and facial cream and hair ointment. I hope it can alleviate your worries a little. This is what I hope. In addition, in a few days Two women are about to arrive in Ningdu. These two women have practiced martial arts since they were young. They can accompany you and wait for orders to protect your safety.
Although I am burdened with spring flowers, when I return, we can enjoy the autumn moon together! "
Geng Xingshuang was originally excited about the two women practicing martial arts mentioned in Yang Qingmo's letter. She had written to ask her second brother about this, but she didn't expect that it was Yang Qingmo who sent them, and she didn't know that it was them. The two discussed who to find together. The second brother entrusted the matter to Yang Qingmo, his future sister-in-law, and went away. He was about to go to his mother to see how the second brother's letter was written. Come to the last line.
There were only twelve words, but when she read it... she felt her face getting hotter and hotter. Needless to say, she was definitely blushing.
Her shameless face was really wasting her strong and strong heart.
In order to relieve the heat on her face, Geng Xingshuang quickly folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope. She looked at the letter in Ruan's hand and asked, "Mom, what did second brother say in the letter?"
Ruan had already finished reading it. Even though the letter looked long, it actually didn't have many words, just because Geng Shuhuai's "crazy grass" took up a lot of space.
"It's still the same as before. I report good news but not bad news. I bought jewelry for me and a new fabric from Lucheng called Liuzhuluo for you. It's said to be particularly suitable for summer clothes."
After Geng Xingshuang heard this, she went to look through Geng Shuhuai's baggage. As expected, there were three pieces of cloth as smooth as rolling beads, one crimson, one sky-blue, and one moon-white.
Although the fabric was smooth and thin, it was not too light for three pieces. Geng Xingshuang touched Hong Fu's head again.
"I'll reward you with ten river fish, big ones."
Hong Fuli happily pecked her palm several times, and kept saying "Quack" happily.
"Why does this bird look like it's smiling?"
Mrs. Ruan was originally still sad that her son was away and did not mention anything about the return date in the letter. When she heard Hongfu's changed tone, her attention was immediately diverted.
Geng Xingshuang also felt that Hongfu's voice was a bit more unpleasant than a duck's quacking.
"Girl, Hongfu seems to be laughing." Jinbao said.
"Okay, stop yelling. Dad will come back later and he will be angry again when he finds out that he was not mentioned in the second brother's letter and the gift is not for him."
Geng Xingshuang read her second brother's letter and then what he sent back, and said helplessly.
"Yes! Even if it's his, I won't give it to him. It's not the best."
Normally, Mrs. Ruan is very gentle, but when it comes to matters between Geng Wen, Geng Shuhuai and his son, Mrs. Ruan is like an old mother who protects her calf.
What about the husband? Even though he knew that his son's wife had been taken over by his second wife, he still couldn't get the money back and let his son go for eight years. For this matter, let alone Geng Shuhuai's eight-year absence. Treat Geng Cheng, even if you ignore him for eighteen years, Ruan will not say anything.
Eight years ago, Geng Xingshuang was still very young. At first, she didn't understand why her second brother left home in a rage even if he couldn't go to Licai Academy to study.
But gradually, she grew up, saw and listened to more, and gained a new understanding of her second brother's will and actions.
The second brother was only a teenager at the time. He first started his education with the gentleman invited by his family. At that time, the situation in the uncle's house was not good, and the gentleman he hired was just an old scholar who had never passed the exam. Later, when he got older, Some of them went to a nearby school to study. The reason why Geng Wen and Ruan saved money to send him to Lizai Academy was because the school teacher said that his second brother was talented and hard-working. If he wanted to take the imperial examination in the future, he would Make plans early to avoid wasting the opportunity.
Therefore, Geng Wen and Ruan had the idea of sending him to study at Lizai Academy. For this reason, the family lived frugally, but in the end, they ended up making wedding clothes for others.
Anger is naturally one thing. Geng Shuhuai was most disappointed with his father's attitude in handling the matter. At that time, Geng Wen did not fight hard for his son and chose to take a step back.
In the eyes of the young and energetic Geng Shuhuai, his father was too cowardly.
That's why I walked away out of anger.
But up to now, Geng Shuhuai still ignored his father. Geng Xingshuang thought that it was not that he was still angry, but that there was a gap between father and son, and they were in trouble.
