Solitary pet

Chapter 20

It was the first time for Hesheng to lie on his stomach like this, raised his head slightly, lowered the corners of his eyes, and replied in a soft voice: "Hesheng has met Mrs. Wei, and the old lady is blessed and healthy."

Mrs. Wei puffed up her chest when she heard the "Old Mrs. Wei", as if she was really a first-class lady, and began to hold her breath: "Stop kneeling, you young lady from Wangjing, what if you kneel?" It's broken, I can't afford to pay for this old bone!"

He Sheng was stunned when he heard the tone, full of cynicism and sarcasm.The old lady of the Wei family seems to have misunderstood her?
She stood up as she said, just in time to catch a glimpse of Wei Xi smiling complacently.

That's right, if Wei Xi doesn't like her, he must have nothing nice to say to Mrs. Wei.Just a few words of embellishment and embellishment are enough to disgust a person who has never met.

People say what they say, and everyone in the world is like this.

Mrs. Wei seldom received guests, thinking of the rich and noble families in the drama, she asked He Sheng a few words carefully.He Sheng replied one by one, with a humble attitude.

Mrs. Wei sized her up again. On the way, Wei Xi said that the little girl from Wangjing was thin and ugly. She just came here to show off, but she wanted to pretend to be a young lady, which made Wei Xi angry several times.

Mrs. Wei hates such people the most, only the servant girl wants to miss her heart.

But after all, he is from Wangjing, so we still have to find out.Mrs. Wei pulled the grandma closer and asked in a low voice, "How much money does this girl give us every month?"

Grandma was stunned for a moment, she never thought that Mrs. Wei would be so straightforward. Anyway, they are also people with a little face now, and if they ask such words, others can be more stingy for them.

"Mother, don't worry, it's enough for her to live in our house."

"It doesn't look like much..." Mrs. Wei muttered, but luckily she didn't take advantage of their family.

She beckoned, motioned Hesheng to sit beside her, and taught in an elders' tone: "Since you have come to our house, you will be a family from now on, and you should treat your two uncles and sisters-in-law as filial as parents, and treat your two cousins ​​with respect." My younger sister is loved as my own younger sister, especially Xi'er, she has been weak and sick since she was a child, you must take good care of her and never do anything inappropriate!"

Her admonition like this is really inappropriate.Grandma wanted to speak out several times to stop her, but because of Mrs. Wei's status as an elder, she had no choice but to keep silent.

He Sheng responded: "What the old lady said is true." He was generous and sincere.

The old lady Wei felt a little relieved, and asked her servants to present the special coconut fruit they brought back, put some on the table for each of them, and happily talked about what she had seen and heard outside these days.

Coconut fruit needs to be cut open with a knife, the pulp is discarded, and the core of the fruit in the middle is eaten. No one has ever told Mrs. Wei how to eat coconut fruit, so she has always smashed it with the corner of the table. , together with the pulp.

This way of eating seemed unbearably rude, everyone was taken aback for a moment, the grandma worried that Mrs. Wei would lose her temper again because of this, so she couldn't help but sighed again.

He Sheng was the first to react. Without hesitation, she picked up the coconut fruit on the table, smashed the coconut fruit according to Mrs. Wei's eating method, and ate it.

Mrs. Wei was a little ashamed at first, thinking that she was eating in the wrong way, but now seeing that He Sheng was eating in the same way as herself, she immediately felt relieved and invited everyone to eat together as usual.

The eldest grandma breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at He Sheng with a little more approval.

Originally, Wei Xi was amused by the old lady Wei's eating, but when he saw He Sheng's behavior, he stopped laughing immediately.

Mrs. Wei glanced at Hesheng, "You eat well."

He Sheng removed the flesh and gnawed on it, then smiled slightly: "Thanks to the old lady's teaching, do as the Romans do."

The old lady Wei nodded, and ordered the servants to share more with He Sheng, thinking: This little girl's movies are not as annoying as Wei Xi said.

After leaving the back room, everyone dispersed, and the eldest grandma followed, picked up He Sheng's hand, and carefully massaged the red and swollen areas: "Our old lady likes to mess around, don't take what she says to heart, it's hard for you to be so sensible Follow her will."

He Sheng smiled and said: "The old lady is also concerned about me, but she knocked down the tables and chairs in the house. I'm working hard on my side. I don't know if I broke it?"

Her tone was humorous, and the grandma was amused. She sent her all the way back to the yard, and ordered the servants to send a few bottles of cream for cleaning hands.

After the grandma left, Cuiyu muttered: "The old lady of the Wei family is too tricky, how can she talk to guests like that?"

He Sheng waved his hand: "It's normal for people to be angry under the eaves. I don't complain, what are you complaining about? Live our lives well and don't think about other things."

Cuiyu pursed her lips.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard the sound of jingling from the back wall, not too loud, but just enough to disturb people's mood.

Cuiyu felt sorry for Hesheng who had just been made things difficult in the back room, and now that she was back in the room, she couldn't be quiet, she served tea and water, rubbed her shoulders and beat her back, hoping that her mood would improve.

"What's with the back wall?"

Cuiyu replied: "It's not the back wall, it's the next door. In the morning, Grandma sent someone to tell her that the house next door has just been bought and is currently being renovated, so it might be a bit noisy."

"That's it..." He Sheng sighed helplessly, leaning on the recliner, staring at the hanging branches and new leaves in a daze.

Cuiyu volunteered, "Second Lady, why don't I sing to you, just to cover up the noise."

The corner of He Sheng's mouth turned up: "Okay."

"The reeds are tall, the reeds are long, and the reed flowers are like snow and snow..." Cuiyu clapped her hands and sang Wangjing's ballad. Her voice was a little rough, and she sang out of tune. Hesheng couldn't help laughing several times.

After the song was over, she looked at He Sheng with a smile, "Does it sound good?"

He Sheng blinked his eyes: "It sounds good."

"Then I'll play another song."

"No need..." He Sheng looked at Cuiyu who was full of joy, couldn't bear to hit her, and smiled reluctantly: "Why don't I sing by myself."

Her voice is clear and soft, like flowing water and wind blowing willows. The beauty of the young girl's cardamom years seems to be mixed into this voice, drifting away with the wind, drilling into the ears, and living in the heart.

Shen Hao stood under the wall, even breathing carefully.

Pei Liang looked at his master who was about to touch the wall, shrugged helplessly, pointed to the craftsmen who were working not far away, and asked, "My lord, do you want to continue the construction?"
