Chapter 34 (2/2)
Suixi personally cut a few chrysanthemums that are about to bloom and put them in the bamboo basket. Then he took Pingling away from the garden by another path.
When she was about to arrive at the upper room, Suixi suddenly stopped, suddenly turned back and looked at the direction of the garden coldly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The tears quickly filled her eyes, and the tears slipped down her cheek silently.
”Girl...” Ping Ling looks at her in surprise. Isn't it just good?
Suixi clenched his lips and didn't say anything until his eyes were swollen with crying. Then he wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and turned his head slowly. His face flashed a resolute and ruthless look.
She looked at the stunned Ping Ling, and her voice was hoarse and said, ”Ping Ling, whose maid are you?”
”Slave The maid is, of course, the maid's maid. ” Pingling replied in a daze.
With a smile, she looked at the maid who was no more than a few years older than herself. ”Then you have to remember that only when your master is better in this family, can you feel better. I'll go back to the old lady in a moment. What do you want to answer wisely, you know?”
Is this her timid girl who never dare to speak up? Ping Ling Leng Leng Leng to think about, but still nodded, the heart is not clear, for a while the old lady will ask her what.
Suixi pursed her lips and rubbed her eyes redder. Then she went to the room.
Ping Ling was stunned for a moment and then quickly followed up.
The old lady is talking about the old year's interesting things with the maids in the inner room. When she sees Suixi coming in, she says with a smile, ”have you gone so long to play secretly?”
Suixi lowered her head and handed the basket with chrysanthemums in her hand to Tris. She called softly, ”grandmother.”
The voice was a little suppressed, and there was no usual happiness. The old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at the past. Her head was low, her nose and eyes were red. She was still very happy when she went out here.
”What's the matter?” As soon as the old lady's voice sank, she stretched out her hand to pull her joy to her side.
He blinked his eyes, pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed, ”grandmother, I'm ok. I just got sand in my eyes in the garden.”
The old lady touched her head, and her smile was very kind. ”To tell Grandma the truth, what happened in the garden?”
The old lady asked, that is to know that father and Guo Jingjun are also there, Suixi heart cold smile, but clenched his teeth and shook his head, ”No.”
”Ping Ling, come on!” The old lady lowered her face and looked at Ping Ling.
Ping Ling was swept by the old lady's severe eyes, and her fingers trembled. She knelt down trembling, but her eyes looked at her.
He glanced at her with pleasure and buried his head lower.
”Back, back to the old lady No, nothing. ” Ping Ling whispered back, but his eyes twinkled, and he knew that he was hiding something.
The old lady put the tea cup in her hand heavily on the Kang Table. Her face was gloomy, and her voice had a kind of anger that was about to storm. ”I don't even pay attention to it!”
Ping Ling almost buried his head on the ground, and said timidly, ”I dare not, girl The girl met uncle and With Auntie Guo, they... ”
She told her story in the garden to the old lady intermittently but not openly. She said that she did not want to salute Guo Jingjun, but was scolded by the master when she was a little slower. She also explained that she could not tell the story to me, for fear that the old lady would be angry.
After listening to Pingling's words, the old lady was calm and did not speak, and her eyes fell straight on her Suixi face.
Suixi's heart beat a drum. I don't know if the old lady saw her pretending to be aggrieved and pathetic. But just Ping Ling didn't say anything wrong. She was just slightly embellished. She could still be justified.
Seeing her granddaughter pretending to smile, the old lady felt a burst of sadness. She remembered that her family was poor. She was depressed all day because of her difficult livelihood. She took no less out of her anger. Only in this way did the granddaughter's character become cowardly and timid, and even when she was wronged, she did not dare to speak out.
”Get up and take your girl back to the house to wash her face and have a rest.” The old lady suddenly waved and sighed a long sigh.
Ping Ling's eyes were happy, ”yes, old lady.”
Suixi sipped his lips and bowed his knees timidly to the old lady, ”grandmother, I'll go back to the house first.”
The old lady gently gnawed her head, and when she left with Pingling, she sat on the Kang bed with a cup of tea in her mind. It was not long before she took a sip of tea, which was already cold.
”Tris, go and invite me.”
