Chapter 75 The Cat
The servant who was serving Mrs. Sun was at the door at this time. When she saw the little lady with a snowy face beside her, she knew that it was the seventh lady of the He family she said, and hurriedly saluted: "Sir He Qi."
He Lingjiang nodded slightly and walked into the room with Sun Rujin's company.
Perhaps because he heard that He Lingjiang was coming, Mrs. Sun, who had always been bedridden, was afraid of losing her manners, so she rarely got up and dressed up and sat at the table outside waiting for her.
"lady."
He Lingjiang crossed his hands, held each other in front of his chest, and bowed to Mrs. Sun, who was sitting upright.
Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up and she greeted her, "Sit down quickly. I have heard that the seventh lady of the He family is the most beautiful lady in our Linchuan County. Now when I see her, she is really well-known."
It is not uncommon for young ladies in the aristocratic family to be beautiful, but there are only a few who are as outstanding as He Qi. What's more, her walking and behavior are sparse and charming, which is even more rare.
I think it is only the He family, a century-old clan, who has given birth to such a beautiful lady.
She waved her hand and ordered the servant to serve refreshments.
He Lingjiang sat down opposite her and smiled: "Madam, I'm sorry!"
"My grandmother Jin has praised the Seventh Lady in front of me for a long time, but she unexpectedly invited the Seventh Lady to the door today. I have been in poor health recently and have not received any good hospitality. I hope He Qi will not blame him." Mrs. Sun said a little apologized.
She didn't know why her daughter invited He Lingjiang to the house, so she just thought that she had invited a friend to stay for a few days.
He Lingjiang took the refreshment she handed over and said with a smile: "Ling Jiang is bothering me in the evening, Madam, I won't blame me for disturbing you for resting."
Mrs. Sun coughed lightly, and said, "I am at home all day long, and even Jinniang is stuck in the mansion with me every day, and rarely go out to make friends. Now that the seventh lady is here, I am not as happy as I can, so how can I dislike it?"
"I heard from Jin Niang that Qi Niang and she met on the day of Shangyuan?"
"My Lady Jin said that she met a little soldier that day and was almost kidnapped. It was because the Seventh Lady appeared in time to save her from this disaster. I also want to thank Seventh Lady for being."
He Lingjiang looked at Sun Rujin who was sitting beside him and smiled: "Madam, be polite. Over the days, Jin Niang has sent someone to send me many thank-you gifts. If Madam thanks again, Ling Jiang will be ashamed of it."
Mrs. Sun's eyes were gentle, and this Madam He Qi was not as difficult to approach as rumored outside.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly coughed and panted. Sun Rujin quickly handed her teacup and said, "My grandma, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
As he said that, he reached behind Mrs. Sun's back and was pleased with her.
Mrs. Sun lowered her head and drank two sips of hot tea. Fang Nan said, "If you can't say a few words, you will easily cough and asthma. She made Madam He Qi laugh."
He Lingjiang shook his head and looked at her without a trace.
Today, He Lingjiang came to visit. She did not avoid being rude and even put on a layer of makeup.
However, although the makeup was heavy, it still could not hide the dullness on her face. The cream between her lips was moistened by tea and it lost its color, revealing its pale lips.
He Lingjiang asked, "Madam has been sick for a long time?"
"Yes, it's been nearly half a year." Mrs. Sun sighed.
"I wonder if my wife still remembers why she was sick at first?"
Mrs. Sun coughed lightly and recalled: "At that time, there was an autumn banquet in the suburbs of the city. Many of the ladies and ladies in the county were there, so I and Niang Jin went to join in for fun. I didn't expect that after only two days of my return, I got cold and became cold, so I delayed the illness."
After she came back, she felt dizzy and coughed even more at night, so the mansion immediately invited a doctor to see her.
The doctor said that this was a symptom of wind and cold. She didn't care about it at first, and only drank the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor. However, the disease has not been cured.
Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly: "No wonder it is said that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. Only my illness is so tired that Jin Niang stays in the mansion with me all day long, and has wasted her great time for her in vain."
She stroked Sun Rujin's long hair with a gentle expression.
Sun Rujin's eyes turned red: "Ah Mom, what are you saying? My daughter is willing to accompany her."
Mrs. Sun patted her head and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not say that anymore. Madam He Qi is still here, don't let her laugh at me."
In front of his mother, Sun Rujin rarely showed a little bit of the little daughter's posture and snorted softly: "Ling Jiang is familiar with me, what's the funny thing about it? Ling Jiang, do you think it's?"
He Lingjiang picked up the teacup and chuckled, "Of course, I have seen the way Jin Niang cried so scared that she cried bitterly. Now that she is like this, there is nothing to be surprised about."
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "My grandma Jin has always been steady and self-control, and she still has such a embarrassing time?"
"My mother!" Sun Rujin said angrily.
Mrs. Sun smiled and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her eyes. If she hadn't been sick for a long time, she wouldn't have asked Jin Niang to leave the mansion with only two maids. She was still separated in chaos and was almost kidnapped.
She gently stroked her daughter's long hair again.
He Lingjiang wanted to ask about the autumn banquet again. As soon as he spoke, he heard a "meow" sound, and a black shadow rushed over and jumped into Mrs. Sun's arms.
He Lingjiang looked closely and found that it was a cat with a shiny body with pointed ears and a round head. At this time, he was lying lazily in Mrs. Sun's arms and snoring.
Sun Rujin reached out and bounced its head: "Coal Ball, you are naughty again!"
The cat was bounced a little, but did not leave. He just opened his eyelids and looked at her lazily, then rubbed her twice at Mrs. Sun's hand, signaling her to continue to stroking her hair.
Mrs. Sun was a little funny. She bent one arm around the cat and continued to go straight for it with one hand: "Jinniang, what are you scruples with it?"
"My mother, just spoil it!" Sun Rujin said angrily, "The doctor said, "My mother is coughing and panting, she should be far away from these hairy animals. Just keep the coal balls in the house, why are you still so close to it?"
"I've told you several times, just let it stay by the side, and there will be a servant to serve it."
"Look at it, and now you still jump into your arms at any time!"
Mrs. Sun patted Maoer's head: "Why, do you still have to be jealous of the same cat? I just hug it occasionally, it's okay."
Sun Rujin was helpless and had nothing to say for a moment.
He Lingjiang looked at the cat, and the fur on his body was shiny and it seemed to be very slippery to the touch.
She said curiously: "This cat is called a coal ball? It's interesting, it's very consistent with its appearance."
Hearing He Lingjiang called its name, Maoer lazily lifted up his eyelid and glanced at her. Seeing that it was a young lady she had never seen before, he closed her eyes and continued to snore comfortably.
He Lingjiang reached out and wanted to touch it. The cat was just hanging lazily, motionless.
Unexpectedly, when He Lingjiang's hand was about to touch it, the cat's nose suddenly twitched, opened his eyes suddenly, and stretched his claws to grab He Lingjiang.
"Ling Jiang, be careful!"
Sun Rujin couldn't help but exclaim.
