Chapter 38 Snob
038 Snobbish

Hearing Xue Jiangwan's words, Xue Twelve was very satisfied.

But the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

The room was strangely quiet, Xue Dongshu hurriedly ordered the maids to serve tea and snacks, and then invited everyone to have tea.

"Did sister Jiang Wan go north by boat?" Seeing Xue Jiangwan's embarrassment, Xue Dongshu started talking to her, hoping that the atmosphere in the room could be more lively.

Someone started, and Dong Yuan also interjected: "I grew up so big, I have never been out of Shengjing. Sister Jiang Wan went all the way north, it must be very interesting, tell us some interesting stories, let us also learn a lot. "

The fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, was still drinking tea lightly, with a distant and proud smile.

Although Xue Donglin, the twelfth girl, is still arrogant and disdainful, and the fifth girl is indifferent, but both the ninth girl and the eleventh girl are deliberately looking for topics to talk about. Xue Jiangwan didn't dare to make a fuss, and said with a smile: "What's the fun? I followed my uncle. The official ship of my colleague Mr. Gan went north. He was very seasick and fainted every day. It took seven or eight days to get better. The wind and waves along the way made it more difficult to go north. We should have arrived in two months, but we arrived Three and a half months. The nurse forbids me to go out to see, and I stay in the cabin every day, and only dare to look at the lights on the far shore at night..."

This is how a lady should behave.

Xue Donglin, the twelve girl, said, "That's too boring!"

Xue Jiangwan smiled softly, disappeared the embarrassment just now, and said with a smile: "Yes, the journey was quite monotonous. When we arrived in Jiangning, Mr. Gan had to stop the boat. I, Guanshi Chen, and the wet nurse hired a carriage to go north. Okay. Uncle wrote to Lord Hou, thinking that I must have arrived at Tianjin Port by water all the way, and asked Lord Hou to send someone to pick him up at Tianjin Port. I didn’t know that I came by land, so I missed it.”

"No wonder!" Dong Yuan also interjected, "Still thinking about how to come at this time..."

"This time is just right, tomorrow will be my ninth sister Jiji!" Xue Dongshu laughed.

Xue Jiangwan yelled: "It turns out that tomorrow is the day when the ninth sister will come down. Congratulations to my sister."

Dong Yuan smiled and said thank you.

Sitting drinking tea and eating snacks, the fifth girl Xue Dongrong felt an inexplicable alienation from Xue Jiangwan, which made Dong Yuan a little strange.

My own sister, Dong Yuan, knows it well.Miss Wu usually treats people a little more coldly, but she never looks at others, let alone deliberately neglecting anyone.If it was normal, she should have said a few perfunctory words to Xue Jiangwan with a smile on her face.

But Xue Dongrong didn't say a word, just smiled lightly.

The eleventh girl Xue Dongshu is always polite, the twelve girl is still arrogant and self-willed, only Xue Dongrong is abnormal.

After a cup of tea, the topic gradually shifted to Jiji's etiquette. Xue Dongshu held up his enthusiasm, and Xue Jiangwan interjected.

The three sisters Dong Yuan, Dong Rong and Dong Lin listened more silently.

Baolu over there came to invite them, saying that the old lady had woken up, and asked the girls to sit down.

Xue Dongshu breathed a sigh of relief, she was almost at the end of words.

Several people hurriedly got up and went to the Xici room where the old lady usually lived and had a banquet. The second lady also came and was sitting and talking with the old lady.

It was still snowing heavily outside, and there was nowhere to go, so the old lady asked the second lady and others to accompany her to draw cards.

"Grandmother, I don't know how to do it either, so I went back first. Yesterday, I had a half-posted big character, and I haven't finished it yet." Twelve girls were very restrained in front of the old lady, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous. She wanted to slip away when she saw the right opportunity.

The old lady didn't force her, she smiled and said, "Ask Jin Qiu to support you, don't fall. The road is slippery, remember to wear clogs!"

In the end, the word "clogs" is biting a little tight.

Xue Donglin hurriedly said yes, turned around and supported the maid, and left Rongde Pavilion.

Dong Yuan felt warm in his heart.The old lady heard that Xue Donglin kicked Jinqiu with wooden clogs at the gate of Shicui Pavilion that day, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and called Dongyuan, right?
What the old lady said today is more or less teaching the twelve girls a lesson.

It's a pity that the twelve girls left in a hurry and didn't understand.

The second lady glanced at Dong Yuan, her pupils flickering indistinctly.In the past, the most proud person in front of the old lady was her daughter, Xue Dongting, who was ranked fourth.Ever since Xue Dongting got married, the old lady loved Dong Yuan. Compared to Xue Dongting before, the old lady loved Dong Yuan even more.

If it was in the past, the old lady would not have taught the girl next to her secretly in order to seek justice for the fourth lady, she would not have done such a thing that was out of balance on the surface!
It's a pity, judging from the expressions and movements of the twelve girls, she didn't understand at all, and the old lady wasted her thoughts in vain.

But Dong Yuan understood. She who never liked to watch poker games leaned close to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I also want to learn how to play poker. I'll sit with you."

"Okay, okay!" The old lady laughed.

Xue Jiang's late Qing Zhan eyes lingered on Dong Yuan for a moment.

She thought that Miss Eleven, who was slick and slick, lived in the old lady's warm pavilion, was the most favored.It turned out that she was wrong, it was the quiet and elegant Miss Nine who was most liked by the old lady.

Thinking of it this way, Xue Jiangwan's enthusiasm for Miss Eleven was reduced by two points.

The fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, saw Xue Jiangwan's demeanor, and her proud expression froze slightly, a little hazy.

Mother Zhan asked someone to set up a poker table, Dong Yuan and the old lady sat at a table, the second lady took a seat, Mother Zhan sat with Xue Jiangwan, and the fifth girl and the eleventh girl sat at a table.

It wasn't until Mrs. Wan Xi Shizi came to pay her respects that the game ended.

The old lady introduced Xue Jiangwan to Mrs. Shizi, and said to Mrs. Shizi with a smile: "You help Wan'er arrange a place to live, and pick four servant girls from my room for her."

Then he said to Xue Jiangwan, "My good boy, you feel aggrieved for the time being. A new building will be built in the spring of next year, and you and your eleventh sister will move in again!"

Xue Jiangwan hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Ancestor, madam, don't worry, I can live anywhere I want!" Then he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Sister Eleven is resting here with my ancestor, I am I don't want to disturb you; I don't dare to disturb Fifth Sister, if Ninth Sister's place is spacious, I'll settle down first, and then go with Eleventh Sister after the new building is built, so I won't bother Furen to rearrange the place."

Dong Yuan was taken aback.

Mrs. Shizi was noncommittal, but just looked at Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan felt uncomfortable in her heart, her yard was all hers.On weekdays, she is very comfortable in Shicui Pavilion, but if someone suddenly moves in, she will feel inconvenient.

She didn't speak, but looked at the old lady with a faint smile.

Seeing that Dong Yuan was not enthusiastic, the old lady knew she didn't like it, so she smiled and said to Xue Jiangwan: "You have a heart! Although you have come from a long way, you will be a member of our family in the future, how can you be wronged and follow sister Yuan?" squeeze?"

Seeing the old lady's statement, Mrs. Shizi smiled and said: "In the past, the Cuiping Building where the imperial concubine lived at home, I have been asking people to clean it. The place is spacious and comfortable, and the maids and women are ready-made. Sister Shu I've been squeezing my mother here all the time, why not take this opportunity to move to Cuiping Building with Miss Wan'er, and then move the place after a new building is built."

After hearing this, the old lady nodded slightly: "Alright, just do as you say!"

The eleventh girl Xue Dongshu hurriedly got up and saluted to thank her, and Xue Jiangwan followed suit.

The eleventh girl had already paid attention to what Xue Jiangwan said just now, and lamented this woman's snobbish eyes, and wanted to climb up when she saw a high place.Xue Dongshu's heart towards Xue Jiangwan had already cooled down by eighty-nine points, but on the surface, she did not leak a little bit, and she was still polite and affectionate.
