Chapter 23 023
"Our four girls are really a beauty."
In the east warm pavilion of Changxinyuan, Madam Cen circled around Song Jianing and found a treasure and exclaimed. Madam Cen was over fifty years old and was originally a tutor in the palace. Because she had some connection with Madam, she defected to Madam after leaving the palace and helped Madam guide the manners and behaviors of the three legitimate girls of the Guo family. In terms of the beauties she had seen, it can be said that the emperors in the palace were not as good as Madam Cen.
But in Madam Cen's heart, Song Jianing was the most exquisite girl she had ever seen. She couldn't tell any shortcomings except for being fat.
Song Jianing's hair is black and shiny, thick and soft. Song Jianing's forehead is round and smooth, and her cheeks are white and greasy. Song Jianing's eyes are bright and clear, and her red lips are full and moist. Song Jianing's bones are slender and her skin is firm. Song Jianing's palms are soft, and his fingers are slender and white, and he can't let go of it when touched. What's even more rare is that Song Jianing also has a good voice, and his voice is sweet and clear as water. He whispered "Madam" and called her heart, making people involuntarily want to hurt this little girl more.
The only shortcoming is that Song Jianing's words and deeds are not generous and decent enough.
Madam Cen trained Song Jianing's sitting and walking posture in three days. The Song family is well-off, and Song Jianing has a good foundation. She learned this movement and posture very quickly. She sat there with a beautiful and elegant manner and could be praised as gentle and generous. Unfortunately, Madam Cen observed for many days and finally found that Song Jianing's biggest problem was that she lacked confidence and could even sit alone. Once someone came to chat with her, she could not say three words, Madam Song Jianing would habitually lower her head and lower her eyes, not daring to look directly at others, and suddenly she looked petty.
Madam Cen discussed countermeasures with the grandmother.
The grandma turned around the Buddhist beads on her wrist and said helplessly: "This child has lost his biological father early and is an orphan and widowed mother. He may have suffered some grievances in the Song family, and it is reasonable to be more timid. Now that we have come to our mansion, we have been exposed to it, and we will definitely become like her sisters in time. However, we still have to think of a quick way to help her correct it earlier, so as not to leave people with the impression of the fourth girl being timid. If it is too much, it is difficult to recover."
Madam Cen nodded: "That's the reason, don't worry, I'll think about it carefully tonight."
Madam Cen thought about it all night, and the next day she thought of a way to ask the maids around the lady to take turns to talk with Song Jianing, saying whatever they want, but everyone had to say enough for two quarters of an hour, either standing, sitting, or leaving. Song Jianing talked to them, and Madam Cen stared at the side, reminding Song Jianing not to bow his head at any time.
The lady applauded and gave Madam Cen ten taels of silver.
But Song Jianing suffered a lot. After one day, she said that she was dry and dry. Madam Cen summarized her experience for a day and decided to adjust it. She changed it to Song Jianing's behavior that would be learned for two quarters of a minute after one round to prevent her throat from being bad. Of course, Song Jianing's pastry snacks are full recently and will never let her go hungry.
On that day, Song Jianing was chatting and exercising with the wife of the Grandmaster. Suddenly, the maids greeted her. They called the three young men of the Guo family. The weather was cold and the ground was cold. Song Jianing and Tingfang were sitting with the Grandmaster on the warm couch. When the brothers came, Song Jianing subconsciously wanted to get up and put his shoes on the floor.
"We are all our brothers, so there is no need to be so particular." The lady said kindly.
Tingfang echoed: "That's right, An An is still there." She had already seen that her sister kissed her, and in front of the three brothers, especially the elder brother, the younger sister would become particularly restrained, like a rabbit and a wolf, and was very afraid of her elder brother.
Song Jianing had no choice but to sit back.
The little maid raised the door curtain, and Guo Xiao took the lead in, wearing a blue-colored round-necked brocade robe with a blue-colored plain face and jade-like black eyes. Behind him, twin sons Guo Fu and Guo Shu were wearing the same color brocade robe, with only the collar made of distinction. The second son Guo Fu embroidered with orchid leaves on the collar, and the third son Guo Shu embroidered with bamboo leaves on the neckline, and the same handsome face and the same bright smile. There is no wonder that everyone envies the second wife for giving birth.
"Grandma, what are you talking about?" After seeing the ceremony, Guo Shu stood in front of the couch, his smile fell on Song Jianing's face: "Are you forcing An An to speak again?"
Song Jianing smiled. Because she was teasing her, she wanted to bow her head in habit. Suddenly, she heard Madam Cen coughing lightly. Song Jianing quickly straightened her chin and tried to look at Guo Shu generously, and said in a low voice: "The third brother said nonsense again, grandmother is for my own good, I wish my grandmother would chat with me for a few more words."
"So, come here, my third brother will accompany you and let my grandmother rest for a while." Guo Shu moved to the side and said warmly.
The grandma thought it was very good. The little granddaughter stayed with them every day, and almost everything she could talk about was talked about. The topic of the young man was fresher, so she pointed to the other two grandchildren and smiled and said, "I will leave the errands to chat with An An this morning to your three brothers. The third brother will come first, and then the second brother, and Pingzhang will last."
Guo Xiao had just sat down and looked at Song Jianing when he heard this. Song Jianing happened to glance at him, with his eyes facing each other, Guo Xiao's expressionless face. Song Jianing was guilty and was panicked. According to Mama Cen's request, no matter who she talked to, she had to keep looking at the other party's eyes. It doesn't matter to others, but Guo Xiao...
She spent seven years with Guo Xiao in her previous life, but never dared to look Guo Xiao in the eyes unless she was forced by him, or in other words, her "little family" anger that was despised by her elders was mainly because of Guo Xiao. Is it blamed her? She also wanted to be confident, but as a concubine who was snatched from her distant cousin, she had no face to see others and just wanted to hide in Guo Xiao's farm.
But that was the previous life, and everything changed in this life. For these relatives who cared about her and to live a life of the fourth girl of the Duke's Mansion with her head held high, Song Jianing sincerely wanted to get rid of all the problems he had in addition to...eating, anyway, greed is just a little fatter, which is not a shameful flaw, and the wife would not indulge her.
After figured it out, Song Jianing moved to the opposite side of Guo Shu with a smile, and the brother and sister started chatting face to face.
Guo Shu was not serious, touched his chin and looked at Song Jianing, and said suspiciously: "Why do I think An An seems to be getting more and more beautiful?"
Song Jianing couldn't resist bullying or praise, and was forced out of his true form by Guo Shu's words. He had a red face and wanted to lower his head. Before Madam Cen coughed, Guo Shu quickly pressed his sister's head with a quick eye and hand, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't bow your head. The fourth sister is beautiful. There will only be more and more people who praise you in the future. You have to learn more about the third sister. The more others praise her, the more proud they will be, and their chin will be raised to the sky."
Song Jianing burst into laughter. The third girl Yun Fang was indeed a bit stinky.
After being corrected several times, Song Jianing gradually got used to Guo Shu's various praises.
After resting for two quarters, drinking a bowl of sweet osmanthus tea to moisten your throat, and changing it to the second young master Guo Fu. The praises were said by his younger brother, Guo Fu pretended to be a black face, and he pinched his throat and learned Princess Duanhui's tone, deliberately saying harsh words: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is your cousin getting fatter and fatter? Heehehe..."
It was sarcastic, let alone Song Jianing, the Grandma and other female family members, even Guo Xiao, who had just picked up the tea bowl, put down the tea bowl, pursed his lips and stopped drinking, for fear of choking. The Grandma smiled first, and then scolded his grandson: "Don't make a fuss, it will be passed to your cousin's ears, and see how she dealt with you."
"Am I afraid of her?" Guo Fu raised his neck and said, very disdainful.
Song Jianing secretly envied that this was the real Guo family. Because of blood relationship, she knew that Concubine Shu and her daughter would not really be angry with them, so she would feel much more relaxed when they got along. Song Jianing could learn from the generousness of the Guo girl, but she was destined to not be able to learn the fear brought by this bloodline. Of course, she would no longer be afraid of being like that.
After Guo Fu's "bullying" ended, it was Guo Xiao's turn. In addition to Song Jianing, the grandmother and others looked at Guo Xiao expectantly, curious about what the prince, who was talking less, was about to talk to her sister. Song Jianing appeared calm, but in fact, his palms were sweating nervously. His big almond eyes looked at Guo Xiao's eyes with difficulty. As the distance between the two became shorter and shorter, Song Jianing's long eyelashes blinked faster and faster, and his eyes moved around in panic.
Why can't Guo Xiao see how scared his step-sister is for him? Taking this opportunity, he asked lightly: "The fourth sister seems to be afraid of me?"
Song Jianing tried hard to keep his chin still, blushing and lied: "No."
Her eyes were facing him, but her eyes were already distracted, and all kinds of messy thoughts quickly flashed through her mind. Guo Xiao had seen such eyes. When the master taught, his two cousins often looked at the master as if he was listening carefully. In fact, he had already gone out of the world. He became more and more strange in his heart. Guo Xiao simply stopped asking and looked at his step-sister coldly.
A chatting errand gradually seemed to have become a play among young children, and whoever blinked first would lose.
Song Jianing lost. After watching for a long time, she opened her eyes sore, and suddenly came back to her senses. In the blink of an eye, she actually burst into tears.
Brother Guo Fu laughed.
The lady was so amused and cried that she looked at her two children in surprise: "Where are you brothers and sisters playing?"
Song Jianing wiped his eyes to cover up his embarrassment.
Guo Xiao returned to his seat and tasted tea in Yiran. Yu Guang swept over Song Jianing several times. Yes, when his step-sister first entered the mansion, he bullied her several times, but he also protected her twice and gave her the pastries she liked. Why is the little girl so afraid of him? That kind of fear seems to be deeply imprinted in her bones.
With laughter and joy, Lin suddenly sent Qiuyue over to pass the message, saying that the Tan family's aunt was here, and she accompanied her first and asked the grandma if she wanted to meet.
The lady's smile slightly stopped and her eyes moved to Changsun.
That was Guo Xiao's biological aunt. Knowing that the grandmother didn't like her aunt, Guo Xiao stood up and said, "Grandma is busy teaching the fourth sister, and I have no time to clone her. I'll go and see."
The lady thought about it and said to Song Jianing, Tingfang: "Grandma is tired, go back to the house to sleep for a while, and you two go over and take a look."
One is the re-string and the other is the original wife's family. As long as the eldest grandson is there, the two gangs are destined to deal with it. It depends on how Lin's response.
