Chapter 26 (1/2)
Mrs. Meng is a real Jiangnan woman with delicate body and features. She always takes a gentle and gentle attitude with her every move. She is about the same age as an. Even an, who also pays attention to maintenance, looks older than her.
”Mrs. Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time.” An Shi greets to come forward to smile a way.
With a gentle smile on Mrs. Meng's face, she quickly looked at Su Jingwen who was standing beside an's side and looked at her behind her. But at one glance, Mrs. Meng took back her sight.
”Yes, Mrs. su. I heard that the old lady was going to come back some time ago, and she had been preparing for it in her house until it was too late.”
”We know Mrs. Meng's filial piety to the old lady better than anyone else. When you think of old man Meng's illness, Mrs. Meng can't help but stay in bed for three days and three nights.”
After a while of greetings and compliments, an Shi met Mrs. Meng in person and entered the mansion.
Just walked into the main hall and sat down, an Shi touched Su Jingwen secretly. Just outside the door, Su Jingwen should salute Mrs. Meng, but the child seemed to be possessed and stood still!
Su Jingwen did not see Meng Xiuwen, some lost, but she soon raised a decent smile.
”Say hello to Mrs. Meng.”
Su Jingwen's body is slightly blessed. The ceremony is very standard. Mrs. Meng's eyes are on her again.
”It's the second miss's birthday today. You don't have to be so polite.”
An Shi frowned at Mrs. Meng's bland attitude. She had mentioned the marriage between the Su family and the Meng family to Mrs. Meng in a very obscure way before. Although Mrs. Meng didn't show her approval at that time, she seemed to have some intention. What's the meaning of this attitude today?
Mrs. Meng also casually said two sentences to Su Jingwen, asking people to take the birthday gift and then moved the topic away from Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen is not stupid. She can't feel the cold attitude of Mrs. Meng. For a while, she can't hang on her face.
Ann pinched her in secret.
”You don't have to be here with us. Go and greet the ladies who will celebrate your birthday.”
”Yes.”
Su Jingwen led a group of young ladies to the garden.
As soon as she arrived at the garden, three or two girls surrounded Su Jingwen.
”Sister Jingwen, you are so beautiful today.” Speaking of a little girl with a round face, Hu Le, the daughter of the next county magistrate in Shunyang mansion, looks older than Su Jingwen.
”Look at what sister Hu said, as if sister Jingwen was not beautiful before.” A little girl with a melon face took the conversation and took a provocative look at Hu le. Their fathers were all subordinates of Su Lun. When Su Lun arrived at Shunyang mansion, she knew that Su Jingwen was a favored girl, and would always bow to her.
”You!”
”What are you arguing about? Are you bored?” Su Jingwen can't bear to tear off the flowers in the garden and throw them to the ground, which makes them close their mouths.
”It's said that the elder sister above my sister is seriously ill and has been sent to Chuang Tzu to recuperate. In this way, it's better not to get in the way of sister Jingwen's eyes.” Hu Le knows that Su Jingwen hates Su Muge most. Whenever he belittles Su Muge, he is right.
Sure enough, Su Jingwen's face sneered with pride as soon as someone belittled Su Muge.
”Hum, if you go to Chuang Tzu to get sick, it's clear that you're running away with a wild man!”
Several people listened, all surprised stare round eyes.
”What sister Jingwen said is true?”
Miss Guan ran away with a man. It's light if you catch it and soak it in a pigsty!
”What do I lie to you? Or is my mother good enough to cover for her, otherwise, where can I send her to Chuang Tzu to cure her? ”
”My God, Miss Su's courage is too much!”
The face of an Shi standing at the entrance of the garden is very ugly. She wants to raise her smile and pretend that she didn't hear anything, but these people are not deaf. Su Jingwen's voice is not small, but they can hear every word clearly!
Mrs. Meng, who was standing aside, looked at an's face in a dim and unclear way. An could only choke her teeth and sob: ”really, I really let all the ladies see the joke. This is the domestic clown. No one expected that the child Muge would do such a thing. Since she was a child, she followed her elder sister. It's also a good thing to look at her everyday......”
Apart from Mrs. Meng, most of the people who came to visit the garden with an's family were the wives in charge of Shunyang mansion. There were not many people who knew about the capital at that time. They thought that only Mrs. Meng knew who an's wife was talking about.
”Mrs. Su's mind is relaxed. Don't worry about those little girls. If they are not serious masters, how can they compare with Mrs. Su? If you look at the second miss, she is dignified and virtuous, you will know that she is very well-educated.”
”That's it.”
An Shi listened to these words, the smile of the corner of the mouth almost did not suppress.
Xiaoniang, Zhao Shi, do you hear me!
”Look at the day is getting bigger. Don't sit in the room.” Mrs. Meng suddenly opened her mouth, and an thought that she was trying to get rid of her encirclement, so she led all the ladies away.However, Su Muge's elopement with men soon spread to the Su mansion.
……
Meng's carriage slowly drove into the gate.
After entering the city, the carriage did not go in the direction of the Meng mansion, but all the way to the door of the Su mansion.
When the carriage stopped, they happened to be at the theatre.
