Chapter 16(1/2)
After Gu Fengjian woke up, Aunt Song San came again.
Looking back, Feng Jian became energetic and personally guarded the yard to stop people.
He brought the bamboo chair over. I don't know where he turned it out. It was the same simplicity as his dilapidated yard. He sat on it with his legs, signaling the servants to move everything away for him and not keep it in the way.
When Aunt Song came over and saw his posture, she couldn't help but think of the other party's extraordinary force and felt distressed. She clenched the white handkerchief in her hand, still shot her face and greeted Gu Fengjian.
Aunt Song San didn't sleep all night last night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
When Song Sanniang told her that she was going to complain to Fu Changjun, she was frightened and she was very at ease since then. She had never asked anyone for trouble and had never even said anything about the run.
She had been careful and wanted to get over this matter. However, before Gu Fengjian had time to complain, he asked Fu Changjun to run into it himself and found out what was hidden in front of him.
This is worse than Song Sanniang's complaint herself! I don't know what her husband should be tormented when he comes back.
Aunt Song San felt bitter and secretly resentful.
The conscience of heaven and earth! Those servants who went out to talk nonsense about Song Chuzhao were really not instructed by her! She just knew about this, but did not stop her, because she felt that it was not a big deal.
She has no grudge against Song Sanniang, and has no interest in it. Why bother to make things difficult for her? Even if she is not polite to Song Sanniang on weekdays, she is just to see Mrs. Song’s face.
She herself is not surnamed Song, so she can’t be careful when she lives under the eyes of the old lady? She has no choice!
As for Mrs. Song, Aunt Song felt that although she was tired of Song Chuzhao, she did not want to miss the marriage with the Gu family because of this, and there was no need to do anything unnecessary.
So, who was just looking at Song Chuzhao and implying that the servants in the mansion used some despicable means, Aunt Song was probably clear in her heart.
But she knows it, but others don’t!
Now that things are getting bigger, the initiator has no responsibility, only her husband and son are punished, and only her is the one who is evil, so how can she be balanced in her heart!
Just like now, the old lady is reluctant to do nothing, but she has to come over to find Song Chuzhao to apologize.
Their three rooms are not so humble, so why should they suffer this grievance?
Aunt Song San had already tortured and cursed those people countless times in her heart, and she had to force herself to smile and said, "Sanniang, you should keep these things for you."
Gu Fengjian also laughed, sat up and looked up at her: "Why did you say that I was given to me? I can't accept so many expensive gifts from Aunt San. Let's forget it."
Aunt Song San continued to laugh: "It's not Aunt San's things, these are gifts from He Mansion to you. They have always been there for the old lady and have not brought it to you. Last night, my son came back to remind me, and I remembered this and hurriedly took the things over. Look, what do you like?"
"Oh—" Gu Fengjian suddenly realized, "It turned out to be something from He's mansion."
He stood up.
When Aunt Song San was happy, she was about to ask someone to carry everything in, Gu Fengjian stretched out his long arms and stopped him again: "Please trouble Aunt San. Unfortunately, my yard is small and I can't put down so many things. Spring and winter."
Chun and Winter have been hiding for a long time, and happily ran out from behind the door and whispered loudly: "Chun and Winter are here!"
Gu Fengjian said: "You go and get a booklet and help me record all the gifts. I like it, bring it in, I don't like it. Then I tell my grandfather to let him see if he should take it back or let me deal with it."
Aunt Song San was stunned for a moment, and pulled the corner of her mouth stiffly and said, "Why do you need to remember it if you accept a gift?"
Gu Fengjian said strangely: "Don't remember if you accept a gift? Then how should you return the gift next time?"
Aunt Song San said: "This is a gift given to you by the elders. Mr. He cares about you and does not need to give you back."
Gu Fengjian nodded: "Yes. I have never seen my grandfather. I am very happy that he cares about me so much. But after all, it is better to explain his preferences clearly to him, so as not to send some unnecessary things next time."
Aunt Song San wanted to say again: "This gift is mainly about your intentions, you do this..."
But Gu Fengjian didn't give her the opportunity to talk, and said with care: "There are so many gifts, and before the inventory is finished, don't put them at the gate of my yard. It's inconvenient to travel. Aunt San, where did the things come from? Move back first. I'll go over and get them after the spring and winter is sorted out. What do you think?"
Aunt Song San wandered around.
She felt that Song Sanniang was not stupid, and she probably guessed that a part of the gift was missing, so she deliberately used this method to force her to return it.
Since ancient times, there has been no need to force people to accept gifts, and she is too persistent to make her embarrassment only.
She had discovered before that Song Sanniang's methods were more skillful than her and were difficult to deal with.
But why is this trouble still lies with her?
Why is it still her? Why do you have to pay her compensation!!
Aunt Song San's heart exploded. After the explosion, she returned to peace and became much more enjoyable.
She sank her face, and at that moment, she had the courage to give up.
"Then move. Your second sister and grandmother seem to have got something. I'll ask them later. Or you can ask yourself."
She took a little of it at that time, but the things were not damaged and she could return them. She didn't care about other people's affairs anymore.
Gu Fengjian witnessed the whole process of her face change with his own eyes and saw her complicated mental journey from it. It was extremely exciting. He nodded and said, "Okay. Please trouble Aunt San."
Aunt Song San walked past the hall wearing a casual dress, her eyebrows were haggard. When she walked to the corridor, she saw Song Shiwen asking her maid to come out of the room with her Qin in her arms.
When I saw Song Erniang’s carefree elegance in the past, Aunt Song San felt elegant and interesting, but yesterday it was so big that she had gone out to play the piano like nothing happened, which made Aunt Song San feel unhappy.
Do you know what you have done?
Aunt Song San deliberately made heavy steps and leaned towards Song Shiwen.
Song Shiwen smiled slightly and said, "Aunt San, morning."
Aunt Song San said: "It's not early. I haven't slept all night."
Song Shiwen said: "The third aunt should have a good rest."
"I have something to do in my mind, but I really can't rest well." said Aunt Song San, "Shi Wen, do you still remember the pairs of earrings you took from the old lady and the same hair accessories? It was actually the third girl's thing. The old lady made a mistake and gave it to you."
"Oh?" Song Shiwen said in surprise, "I don't know. I just thought it looks very good, so I accepted it. But there were too many things in my room, and I put it casually, and I didn't know where it was. When I go back tonight, I will look for it for Aunt San."
Aunt Song San said, "Let's go now. Your sister is waiting."
"Is my sister very anxious?" Song Shiwen said, "If my sister has to want that pair of earrings, I have something else there. I'll choose a few, and I'll pay her a compensation."
Aunt Song San's mouth twitched and quickly calmed down. She thought to herself that the price could be the same?! What Mr. He sent was all the best things they chose. What you sent back was something you really didn't like.
Aunt Song San said: "That was a gift from someone else, it's different. It's better to be the same."
"This is really bad." Song Shiwen raised her head and said innocently, "I'll go and talk to my grandmother and see what to do."
Aunt Song San gritted her teeth and almost bared.
She knew that Song Erniang was deeply in her mind, but she never hated her. If you want to live well in this world, who would not have to make more calculations about things? At least these people are polite to you on the surface and can make you feel comfortable.
But when you meet someone who deliberately doesn’t understand you, you really want to hit someone!
Aunt Song San naturally didn't dare to really beat Song Shiwen, so she was rejected and could only go back in disappointment and went back to find Mrs. Song.
After hearing her, Mrs. Song said angrily: "Why is Song Chuzhao so scheming? What is she going to mean? She refused to accept it last night, but she still refused to accept it today. Are you asking me to beg her?"
Aunt Song San said: "Those things that are for the third girl are supposed to go back."
Mrs. Song stood up and said with a gloomy face: "It's not that I refuse to give it to you now, it's that she refuses to ask for it! Isn't it just to embarrass me? Is it because I want the servants in the mansion to see the jokes between me and Shiwen?"
Aunt Song San was a little panicked and refused to listen and advised: "Mother, we can't stand it now. I have returned the things, please join me."
Mrs. Song brushed her sleeves and said impatiently: "I didn't say I won't return it. Can I really mislead her things? Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Aunt Song San said, "But my husband is still in General Fu's hands. He told me that yesterday! If I don't act as he said, wouldn't he punish me when he comes back?"
"Then can Fu Changjun really eat my son? He is my son, so I naturally care about him too, no need to say it!" said Mrs. Song, "It's tomorrow! I'm sending it over now, as if she can hold me. No!"
The inner courtyard of the Song Mansion was in chaos, but Gu Fengjian's place was quite quiet.
Aunt Song San finally learned to be smart and knew to bother others and not to annoy him. Unfortunately, she had poor combat power and pestered the old lady for a while. She was reasonable and pitiful, but she didn't convince anyone.
She used to looking at people's faces, was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and was worried that she would really annoy the old lady and cause trouble for herself, so she didn't make too much trouble. She planned to buy some delicious food the next day, and then came to Gu Fengjian to say something nice to him, apologize to him, and expose the matter.
Aunt Song San thought, can things get worse just one night? It would be fine to ask the old lady and the two girls of the Song family to calm down.
But she didn't know that the next day, Gu Fengjian was going to go to He's mansion.
The next morning, Gu Fengjian asked Chundong to call him up. He didn't want to run into the slave outside again, so the two walked out of the side door.
Song Chuzhao also got up early and walked to a street near He Mansion to wait.
When the two met, the rising sun rose slowly from the skyline, sprinkling a warm orange color on the top of their heads.
The three of them laughed when they met.
Song Chuzhao couldn't help but smile when he thought about what happened next, while Gu Fengjian was laughing with her. Chundong was burying his head and laughing secretly.
Gu Fengjian rarely feels like this, but when he sees Song Chuzhao, he feels like there is nothing in the world that is worth being unhappy. After laughing, his mood improves a lot.
The hawking sounds nearby became louder and louder. Song Chuzhao calmed down a little and led Gu Fengjian to He Mansion.
Chun Dong really wanted to tell Song Chuzhao about what happened in the Song Mansion in the past two days, but he was afraid that it would disturb the two of them, so he forced himself to hold it back.
When he arrived at the door of the He Mansion, Song Chuzhao frowned and whispered: "This He Mansion is not much the same as when I came before."
Gu Fengjian asked: "Where is different?"
"There are different everywhere!" Song Chuzhao pointed and said, "Have you ever seen a stone statue hanging on the door with red silk? There is no happy event."
Gu Feng Jian knew it and smiled and said, "I want to make my family look lively."
"Of course it's to welcome our girl." Chundong said, "It seems that General He really likes the girl!"
Song Chuzhao crushed the soles of his shoes on the ground: "Oh, how embarrassed are you?"
Chundong said: "Young Master, this is what Mr. He has prepared for the girl. What are you embarrassed about?"
