"I'm not the one who calls the shots, and neither are you!" Chengchun's eyes gradually turned cold, "If grandma thinks I said something wrong, why don't you go to the Fifth Master to tell the truth?"
Aunt Zhang pursed her lips tightly, snorted in the end, turned around and left. Before going out, she cursed in a voice that happened to be heard by them: "It's just an Israeli waiter, really." You’re taking yourself seriously!”
"You..." Anko was so angry that she was about to argue with her, but Chengchun held her hand.
Hongdou looked back at Chengchun, who looked downcast, and said angrily: "Madam, why are you pulling me here? I should be allowed to go out and scold this old godly woman!"
"The fifth master told me early in the morning that there are guests in the house today. If we make a fuss, it is better to prevent the fifth master from getting off the stage!" Chengchun patted Hongdou's hand, "Aunt Zhang is also a hard-working person. , there’s no need to get angry with her!”
"Why bother! Aunt Zhang, her daughter didn't want to be a little girl herself, it was Aunt Zhang who forced her to go!" Hong Dou snorted, "She bullies the lady like this. In the final analysis, she is just jealous that the lady has the fifth master. She is doted on, and that girl of hers is nothing more than a first-in-law!"
When Chengchun heard what Hongdou said, he didn't even know what to say for a moment. He just felt a little incredible. How could someone leave the good lady outside and force her daughter to be someone else's concubine? It's really confusing.
Seeing that Chengchun didn't speak, Hongdou thought that she had spoken too harshly, so she cautiously said, "Madam, I, I didn't mean that..."
Chengchun was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It doesn't matter!"
Hong Dou breathed a sigh of relief.
It has been raining gloomily these past few days. This is always the case in the rainy season in Jiangnan. It rains endlessly. Today there is a rare good weather. Chengchun wants to go out for a walk. She hesitated for a long time before He said: "Hongdou, I want to go out for a walk!"
Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chengchun with a smile: "Okay, I'll get someone to prepare the car!"
"Don't you need to tell Master Wu?" Chengchun raised his head and looked at Hongdou in surprise.
Hongdou smiled and responded: "Fifth Master has already told us that if the lady wants to go out, just go ahead and make arrangements. If she comes back late, let someone know and let the lady know what she wants!"
Chengchun was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently: "Then, let's go out for a walk today!"
Hongdou naturally agreed a hundred times.
When going out, Chengchun looked at the carriage waiting there and felt helpless: "Our yard is already in the town, why do we still need to take a carriage?"
You know, in the early years when Chengchun was a girl at home, every time she went home from Xiu Mu, if she didn't buy anything during the ten-mile journey, she would be reluctant to spend a few coins to ride in an ox cart. I walked back by myself, but now, it's just a few streets, and I still have to take a carriage back and forth.
The sound of the wheels running over the bluestone bricks was particularly clear, and Cheng Chun, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a little stunned.
"What are you thinking about, madam?" Hongdou looked at Chengchun and asked softly when he saw that she was thoughtful.
"In the past, I was working in a drug store. Whenever I heard such a sound, I knew that a wealthy family was coming. Sometimes I couldn't help but take a few glances out of curiosity. At that time, the carriages and horses were passing by, and I stood there. Standing at the door of the shop, watching eagerly!" Chengchun smiled and said softly.
"Now, the lady is sitting in the carriage, and the people outside are standing on tiptoes to watch!" Hongdou said with a smile, "The lady is a lucky person, and she will not spend her whole life watching under the carriage!"
Cheng Chun didn't say anything, she just lifted the curtain and looked out. The sunlight fell on her face, which was fair and beautiful, and she was really beautiful.
It has only been a few months, but walking down this street now feels like a lifetime ago.
Chengchun asked the carriage to stop at the corner. She wanted to get out of the car and take a walk. Naturally, the coachman didn't say anything. He just stopped the carriage obediently, put down the pedals, and let Chengchun get out of the car.
As soon as Chengchun got off the carriage, Hongdou quickly walked to her side, opened the oil-paper umbrella at hand, and raised it high above her head.
Chengchun was a little puzzled: "It's not raining, why should I hold an umbrella?"
"Young lady, you don't know that you can't be exposed to the sun like this. It can make you shiny in a short time. In just a few days, your delicate and tender little face will be sunburned, and by then you will be old."
It’s dark and ugly!” Hongdou said quickly.
"The sun can still be so powerful in spring?" Chengchun was a little surprised.
"Isn't that right? Look at those farmers who farm in spring and get tanned in just a few days!" Hongdou said with a smile, "If you want to be white and tender, you can't avoid the sun if you don't want it.
Sunbaked!"
Chengchun nodded, but his heart was full of shock.
In the past, she would always see those ladies walking on the streets. They were white and beautiful, and they looked very precious. Chengchun always thought that this was what they were born with, but now she discovered that it turned out that they were born with it.
Beauty, many times, also depends on maintenance!
Seeing that Chengchun didn't speak, Hongdou thought that she had said something wrong, so she asked cautiously: "Madam, did I say something wrong?"
Cheng Chun quickly shook his head: "No, I'm just a little surprised. I originally thought that those rich girls were born with good looks and skin as white as snow, but I didn't expect that they usually go out with umbrellas.
, the sun didn’t even shine for half a day!”
"My wife is joking. She is naturally beautiful. Before she entered the house, she was exposed to wind and rain every day. The skin on her face is still white and tender. She is very beautiful. How much?
Rich people can't even be half as good as my wife!" Hongdou said with a smile.
Hong Dou spoke from the bottom of her heart, so she seemed particularly sincere when she spoke. Chengchun's face flushed with praise, and she gently tugged Hong Dou's hand: "I understand, please keep your voice down!"
Hongdou looked at Chengchun's embarrassed look and felt more and more cute and sweet. However, seeing the shy look on her face, she stopped praising her any more.
The two of them walked side by side. Cheng Chun walked this street almost every day before entering the mansion, sometimes to deliver medicine, sometimes to buy cakes for the shopkeeper.
Cheng Chun has an upright appearance, is shy and loves to laugh, and he always smiles when he talks. All the people around him, no matter men, women, old or young, can't help but feel a little bit regretful when they talk about Cheng Chun.
Chengchun walked to a rouge stall. She lowered her head and looked at the exquisite rouge boxes. She couldn't help but pick up one of them and look at it carefully. The stall owner was a young woman in her twenties, and she quickly said with a smile:
"Madam, do you have a favorite rouge and gouache?"
