The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 36. Flattering is a technical job
The cuckoo beside Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Ruan in surprise, and Caique said softly: “Old lady, the big girl is here.”
Mrs. Jiang was still motionless, her eyes were not opened, and the dewdrops were a little disturbed, but Jiang Ruan did not say anything, still standing in place. Caique and Du Juan both stood quietly on one side, neither speaking nor greeting Jiang Ruan, but taught Jiang Ruan to stay aside.
Jiang Ruan’s eyes were dull, and he had already looked at the old lady in silence. There was a little difference between the old lady and the memory. In her opinion, the old lady was nothing more than a staid and demanding grandmother. Now she is watching, All her body was rich and glorious, and her expression was calm, but her eyes were self-contained fierceness. Obviously, the woman who recites the Buddha is not as indifferent as the Buddhist scriptures in her hands.
Time flows away quietly, and the room is very quiet, as if even a sound falling on the ground can be heard clearly. I don’t know how long it took, the old woman on the couch slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Ruan at a glance.
Jiang Ruan looked back peacefully, standing upright and respectful, Mrs. Jiang squinted her eyes and said, “Why don’t you call me when you are here? What do you do like a stone?”
“When I came in, I saw my grandmother in meditation. You must be single-minded in meditation. Otherwise, you would be insincere. Jiang Ruan didn’t dare to disturb your grandmother.” Jiang Ruan smiled and said, “But I still bother.”
Mrs. Jiang turned her sideways, Du Juan hurriedly brought the hot tea, Mrs. Jiang took a sip of the tea, and then turned her head to look at Jiang Ruan, and said: “You are quite calm.”
“It’s far worse than my grandmother.” Jiang Ruan said humblely: “I was in a hurry back home yesterday. I never saw my grandmother. It was Jiang Ruan’s.”
Mrs. Jiang said indifferently: “The quarrel about your return to the mansion has caused a lot of noise in Beijing, and I must have dealt with the sleepiness yesterday. It is right that I am not here.”
The tone of this statement is unclear, but the attitude of the old lady is not clear. Jiang Ruan thought briefly: “No matter what, grandmothers are grandmothers, both the old lady of Jiang’s mansion, and Jiang Ruan’s relatives.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan would say this. Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised, she sipped her tea, and said: “I haven’t seen you in a few years, come forward, let me see clearly.”
Jiang Ruan stepped forward, Caique and Du Juan stood aside, and followed Jiang Ruan’s eyes. The two of them served the old lady personally, knowing the old lady’s temperament, and knowing what might happen today, but they didn’t expect it to be the current situation. There is no disgust and vulgarity, but very calm. The attitude of the elder girl is unexpectedly generous, and there is no timidity at all.
Look at the girl a few steps forward, her body is weak, her back is straight, the sun shines on her smooth face, and her skin is as white as jade, her brows are affectionate, a pair of moist and glamorous eyes revealing a plain smile, there is a Kind of gentle and firm taste. The most important thing is that she stood in the room, without the timidity and jerky of a young girl, but only a kind of sedimentary stability, so she leached the bright and flying appearance with a kind of noble demeanor.
Caique and Dujuan looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. This big girl went to the country village for a few years, how did she become so different, she looked like a noble person who was raised carefully in the palace.
Not only the cuckoo and the colorful bird, but Mrs. Jiang’s gaze is also stagnant, her sharp gaze is close to Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan’s expression is not moving at all, still smiling slightly and looking at her. Old Mrs. Jiang removed her eyes and said lightly: “A few years older, she has grown a little bit longer.” She looked cold and suppressed a trace of surprise in her heart. She has lived for most of her life, and she can be considered accurate by people. Today’s Jiang Ruan and the past are like two people, and Jiang Susu lost the victory just because of that calmness. But I don’t know what kind of opportunities Jiang Ruan has in Zhuangzi. At such a young age, his momentum is already pressing.
“You come today, I’m afraid you will not just come to see my grandmother, what else?” Mrs. Jiang said. As early as before Jiang Ruan arrived, there was already a maidservant who had come to inform about what happened outside the gate of Yanhua Court. Jiang Ruan proposed to find her to solve the matter. Mrs. Jiang was also very surprised, and immediately understood it, such as This big girl didn’t like Jiang Quan at all, and the stepmother was not a kind person. Thinking of relying on her grandmother was the only way out, but if she wanted to please her and help Grandma Zhou, she was unwilling.
Before Jiang Ruan spoke, he heard a maid report from outside: “Madam is here.” Then, a crisp voice rang: “Grandma!”
Jiang Ruan didn’t look back, he saw a figure in white running by his side, and climbed up to Mrs. Jiang’s couch familiarly. She snuggled up next to Mrs. Jiang like a cat, and said with joy: “Grandma, look, I brought your favorite. Almond cake to eat.” After finishing speaking, he put the small straw basket in his hand on the table like offering a treasure.
“Su Niang, depending on what you look like, what should I do if I disturb my grandmother?” Xia Yan’s voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Susu curled his lips: “What does it matter? Grandma won’t blame me.”
“Skin monkey.” Mrs. Jiang scolded, but there was a smile on her face: “This way I don’t understand the rules, and I won’t make people laugh out of my teeth if I get married in the future.”
“What did grandmother say?” Jiang Susu blushed and turned his head as if he had just spotted Jiang Ruan, and said in surprise: “Big sister is here too.”
Jiang Ruan nodded with a smile.
Jiang Susu looked at Mrs. Jiang, then looked at Jiang Ruan, and suddenly said, “Grandma, did you and your big sister whisper something behind Susu? Susu also wants to listen, big sister, what did you do just now? “She blinked, her eyes as hazy as clouds and affectionate, her teary moles resembling small flowers, her posture was innocent and innocent, like a fairy who fell into the world, and pitiful.
Mrs. Jiang didn’t say a word, she just turned her gaze to Jiang Ruan indifferently.
Caique glanced at Jiang Ruan with some worry. The room was lively, but the girl seemed to be alone, deserted, and there was no one who could help to say something.
Xia Yan smiled: “Su Niang, don’t talk nonsense, your big sister…”
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Ruan sighed slightly, his voice was light and soft, and slowly said: “Su Niang made a mistake. I’m here today, just to see my grandmother. You know Su Niang too. I have stayed on Zhuangzi for five years, and I haven’t seen my grandmother for five years. The Buddhist scriptures emphasize perfection. I think the most perfect thing in the world is family reunion. Enjoying this kind of consummation, for me, today’s meeting is the most consummate moment in five years. My grandmother and I didn’t whisper anything, I… just wanted to see my relatives.”
