Solitary pet

Chapter 9

After the second mistress left, the eldest grandma dared to show a sad expression. Thinking of what happened to He Sheng, she felt a little troubled for a while.

Originally, she thought that the girl sent by Wangjing must be someone who is valued by the big mansion, otherwise she would not have put so much effort in advance, sending brocade clothes, satin and jewellery.Originally, it didn't matter to her to support one more person. It's normal for relatives to borrow this kind of thing. After receiving so many gifts, it's a great thing to be able to form a favor.

But when she saw He Sheng, things were different.

This girl is too plain, she is outrageously plain, even Madam Liu in the mansion is better dressed than her.Moreover, there was only one maid, and the luggage was only two bags. People who didn't know saw it and thought it was a poor relative.

In this way, Grandma would not be able to guess the meaning of Wangjing, and she would not be able to decide what attitude to take towards Hesheng.

After much deliberation, Grandma couldn't come up with a solution, so she decided to discuss it with the Grand Master when he came back. Before the Grand Master came back, it would be better to make offerings to her first.

What the grandma vacated was a small yard with one entrance and one exit, which was exactly the same size as the yard Hesheng lived in before he got married.A few trees were planted at the gate of the courtyard. Coincidentally, they were all peach trees, just like the ones in her home.

Pink flowers, three or four are connected in a row, in clusters, very delicate.He Sheng felt very kind when he saw it, and said with a smile, "Our family also has this."

Wei Lin used to be courteous and insisted on holding He Sheng's bundle, but now seeing her smile, he immediately threw the bundle to the maids, told them to go into the house to tidy up, and took He Sheng's small stone bench under the tree to sit down.

When he first entered the mansion, He Sheng didn't dare to stare at people, thinking it was impolite, now that Wei Lin was sitting opposite her, he happened to take a closer look.

Wei Lin was one year younger than her, and his cheeks were chubby, a bit like buns.A pair of eyes are watery, if they are a bit slender, she must be a great beauty.

From entering the mansion to now, Wei Lin has not stopped, talking many things in her ear.This reminded Hesheng of his neighbor's little sister, Yan Jiu, who used to chatter like this.

"Originally, my mother wanted you and me to live in the same yard, my cousin. Maybe I was afraid that I would disturb you, so I specially set aside this small yard for you to live in. I live in the west, not far from here, just two steps away. , I will often come to play with you in the future."

He Sheng nodded, thanking Wei Lin for his kindness.The Wei mansion is not comparable to the Wangjing mansion. The mansion that Wei Youguang earned is not too big or small. The courtyard where He Sheng lives is next to the back wall, past the wall is Yong'an Street, and the next door is the house of Befu. It is said to have been idle for a long time.

Grandma didn't buy another maid, firstly because their family didn't have so many rules, and secondly because she thought Wangjing would send her over.Although there is only one emerald jade now, it is almost the same as the cost of the master of Weifu's main residence.This is Shenghu, not Wangjing. You have to do as the Romans do in everything.

He Sheng was happy and at ease. She was not used to being served by many people. She and Cuiyu were alone in a small courtyard, just doing what they liked, which relieved the restraint in her heart.

She will live here until Wangjing gives the order.To be honest, she doesn't know how long she will live here, maybe as long as the Wei family agrees, she may live here for a lifetime.

They come, the security.He Sheng looked at Wei Lin and said, "Maybe I'm going to live in your house for a while, if I disturb or offend something in the future, just tell me and I'll definitely change it."

Living in other people's homes for no reason, if you don't do it well, it will disturb the living habits of other people's homes.As a guest, she should put the master's preferences first.

Wei Lin rolled his round eyes and said with a smile: "There are no rules in our family, you can do as you please, there is nothing you can't change." Although she said so, what she thought in her heart was: Well, this cousin He is a polite person, much better than the cousin who came from the second grandma's house.

It's past the time for breakfast, the grandma sent someone to bring some pickled vegetables and lotus root porridge, and some special snacks of Shenghu, so that He Sheng could rest first and get together again at lunch time.

Hesheng loves spicy food, and the dishes at Piansheng Shenghu Lake are mainly light. Among the dishes delivered, only the few plates of spicy cabbage are a bit strong. Chewing spicy pickled vegetables and drinking lotus root porridge will fill up your stomach quickly.

Not long after, people from the kitchen came to say hello, and asked about Hesheng's taste and taboos.

He Sheng hesitated for a moment, originally wanted to say "whatever you want" and didn't want to cause trouble to others.The words came to my lips, but I couldn't speak them again.

"Fish is the best, steamed or braised in soy sauce is fine. The taste is both salty and light, but if it is spicy, it is better. There is no special taboo, but the ones I don't like include celery, coriander and animal offal, and nothing else. "

After finishing speaking in one breath, He Sheng was a little embarrassed.But food is the most important thing for the people, and "eating" is a very important thing, so it is better to tell the truth.

She took a bunch of money from Cuiyu and stuffed it to the cook, who was very happy.She also came to ask the guests who came to stay here before.Speaking from experience, most people who say they are casual are often difficult to serve. If they don’t say what they want to eat, their kitchen doesn’t know what to cook, and the guests don’t eat it. their kitchen?

It's better to say what you want so clearly.The cook took the money and flattered her a little.When it was lunch time, the grandma sent someone to invite him. He Sheng changed his clothes and went to the east room.

As soon as I stepped into the stone arch, I heard someone talking under the wall: "I heard people say that she is dressed in shabby clothes, and she doesn't look like the young lady from Wangjing at all. Is she replaced by someone? You have to talk to your aunt about it." , lest our family be eaten and drank by others!"

A delicate voice answered: "You don't need to remind me of this, I know it naturally. You can ask her at the dinner table to check it out. If there is a problem, I will tell my mother."
