Song Jianing woke up before dawn, woke up hungry...
Lying on his back, Song Jianing clutched his deflated belly, staring at the pitch-black ceiling in a daze.
When the mother was alive in the last life, the Song family was in a downturn, but the two of them lived a very nourishing life with their mother's generous dowry. The little sisters from the neighbors came to visit and praised her for her beautiful clothes and envied the beauty on her head. jewelry. Song Jianing sat in the well and looked at the sky, and thought that the daily diet of a wealthy and noble family was about the same as his own.
Liang Shao's county government was not much stronger than the Song family. After entering Beijing with Guo Xiao, Song Jianing only understood what real wealth was when he saw Guo Xiao prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation for her. People's style. Not to mention, the Guo family pays special attention to the upbringing of girls, eat less and eat more meals, and eat as much as the maids at the dinner table give you, no one will ask you to add rice. Although there are many styles of dishes, the dishes on the plate are so pitiful that she is too embarrassed to take a third bite.
A total of five meals were eaten at the Guogong Mansion, but Song Jianing was not full. He waited eagerly until he could eat pastries. As a result, the pastry served by the maid also had a set rule. Five pieces of cakes with different tastes were placed on the elegant and beautiful porcelain plate. It looked like a lot, but in fact each piece was only the size of a cherry blossom. Song Jianing ate them all, even the walnut cakes she didn't like. After a while, she was still hungry.
Song Jianing understands that the women of this dynasty regarded thinness as beauty, and the figure of the girl's family was almost as important as the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, appearance and morality. The thin girl was more likely to be liked by the elders of the man's family than the fat girl, and she appeared to be educated. There is nothing wrong with the eating arrangement, you can tell from the eldest girl Tingfang, she is graceful and slender, even Song Jianing thinks it is beautiful.
But she doesn't want to be a skinny beauty, she would rather not marry and have a full stomach!
The more he thought about it, the more hungry he became, his stomach rumbling for a while, Song Jianing was about to cry aggrievedly, what kind of day is this called? The poor are hungry because the family has no money, the state government... No, she alone has 100 taels of private house money, and she has nowhere to spend it, so she has to be hungry? Who was the first to praise a woman for being thin and beautiful? Is it more important to be praised for being beautiful than to have a full stomach
After being aggrieved for a while, Song Jianing recognized it. She didn't blame others, but her appetite. Why didn't Sister Tingfang feel hungry? There are still three pieces of pastry left in the five pieces, and she took a lot of effort to control her eyes, not greedy for her sister's snacks.
He was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, and finally got up until it was slightly dawn. Song Jianing got up and asked for tea from thirst.
The maids served the four girls in an orderly manner.
Song Jianing now lives in the Changxin Garden of Mrs. Tai, and the eldest girl Tingfang lives next door. Mrs. Tan, the former wife of the Duke, passed away early, and Guo Boyan was away from home for months after month. Mrs. Tai loved her granddaughter and kept her by her side. There were three granddaughters in the house, and Mrs. Tai also preferred Tingfang the most.
Tingfang also woke up. After washing up, she came to look for her sister.
Song Jianing was hungry for several meals, and she didn't feel very energetic. Tingfang misunderstood that her sister was in a hurry to see her mother. She took her little hand and smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to my grandmother first, and go to my father's place after seeing my grandmother." Yesterday The late grandmother said that the three brothers and sisters would come with their father and mother to serve tea this morning.
Song Jianing nodded quickly.
Mrs. Tai got up late, was combing her hair, and let the sisters go after a few words of kindness.
It was cold in the twelfth lunar month, and Tingfang wore a plum-red cloak and held a small copper stove in her hands. Song Jianing's cloak was pink, and she also held a delicate hand stove in her hand. The two sisters walked slowly side by side, just like a pair of sisters. When I walked to the front yard, I bumped into Guo Xiao at the door, wearing a jade-colored round neck robe, tall and straight, handsome and luxurious.
Seeing the two younger sisters, Guo Xiao stopped.
"Brother." Tingfang called softly, very affectionate.
Guo Xiao nodded, his eyes moved to the new sister's face. The little girl's face is chubby, and the snow-white fox fur on the edge of the hood makes it as white and clear as a peeled lychee. The tip of her delicate nose is red, and the small mouth below is as pink as a flower, and it is beautiful everywhere. But Guo Xiao wanted to see her eyes the most, because eyes would reveal what a person was thinking.
"Can Jia Ning recognize me?" Guo Xiao took a few steps towards his two younger sisters, and asked lightly as he glanced at his father's yard.
Song Jianing nodded with drooping eyelids, and said obediently, "Big Brother."
There was a sarcasm in Guo Xiao's eyes, his own sister called him brother, this girl obviously heard him and called him "eldest brother", making it clear that he wanted to leave the relationship. disgusted.
"Why don't you dare to look at me?" Compared with just now, Guo Xiao's voice became colder.
Song Jianing shrank her shoulders, subconsciously wanting to be obedient, but remembering the reason why Guo Xiao robbed her in her previous life, not only did she not look at it, but her head dropped even lower. The 10-year-old and the 16- or 17-year-old her body have changed, but her eyes have not changed much. What if Guo Xiao thinks that she is trying to seduce again
Guo Xiao frowned, and was about to lift her chin to take a closer look at the sister who refused to look directly at him, when Tingfang suddenly pulled Song Jianing into her arms, patted her sister's head as if she was short, and then whispered to her brother: "Brother, Jia Ning has just entered the manor, and I am not familiar with it, you are sullen all day, who dares to look at you?"
She is also afraid of her, the younger sister can't see it at a young age, but she knows that the elder brother does not like the stepmother and the younger sister.
Guo Xiao gave his younger sister face, gave Song Jianing a cold look, turned and walked towards the courtyard, only to take a step, and suddenly there was a grunting sound behind him. Guo Xiao practiced martial arts at the age of six. He had sharp ears and eyes. He immediately turned around to see his timid new sister with red cheeks, long eyelashes fluttering uneasily, and a chubby hand covering her stomach.
Tingfang laughed and touched her sister's head: "Jianing, don't worry, we'll have dinner in a while."
Song Jianing secretly pouted, who are you coaxing? After seeing her mother, she has to serve tea, and breakfast today will definitely be later than the previous two days.
Guo Xiao noticed her pouting little mouth, and her mood improved inexplicably. She was so fat, she must be able to eat, so let her go hungry.
The young and vigorous Shizi raised his lips slightly, and took the lead in the inner courtyard. The three brothers and sisters waited in the main room together.
In the backyard, Lin's two maids, Chun Bi and Xing Yu, stood guard outside the door on two sides, with their heads lowered, each with their own concerns. In the inner room, a tall and majestic man put his petite and weak wife against the wardrobe, put one hand on the back of her head and the other around her slender waist, eating her rosy mouth again and again.
Lin was not used to doing this in the daytime. At first, he wanted to hide, but the more he avoided him, the more frustrating the kiss became. Lin softened and waited for him to eat enough.
But his lips hurt, and he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Lin Shi was afraid of delaying the serving of tea, so he took advantage of the gap when his thin lips left a little, and hurriedly said: "Guo..."
Before he could finish speaking, he stopped his mouth again. Lin shi frowned. She didn't want to go against his will, but today was the first time she saw the people of the Duke's Mansion. If she was late for such an occasion, Mrs. Tai would not think it was his son who was making fun of her, and would only think she was this The daughter-in-law is not serious, and the hooking makes the man lose his sense.
Unable to push him away, Lin Shi was helpless, and when his big tongue came closer, he took a bite in a panic.
Guo Boyan took a breath and finally let go of her soft lips, staring at her with black eyes.
Lin Shi glanced at him, lowered his eyes immediately, and explained in a low voice, "Master Guo, it's time to serve tea, it's not good to be late."
She tried to maintain a calm tone, but her cheeks had long since been reddened by the man's lingering kiss, charming and charming. Guo Boyan touched her slender face, and said hoarsely, "I know, I can't move my feet just by seeing you." How could there be such a beautiful and painful woman
Lin Shi pursed his lips.
Guo Boyan chuckled lightly, kissed him at last, and said, "Come back and continue."
Lin Shi didn't say a word, and quickly went to the mirror to sort out her dress. Fortunately, Guo Boyan just kissed her for a while and didn't pull her clothes.
After a cup of tea, the newlyweds came to the front yard one after the other.
"Father, mother." Brother and sister Guo Xiao saluted at the same time, Tingfang glanced at her stepmother quickly, but Guo Xiao didn't even look at her.
Guo Boyan glanced at Song Jianing, who was stupid there, and first introduced his two children to Mrs. Lin: "This is Pingzhang, my temper follows me, and I don't like to laugh. This is Tingfang, who has been by Mrs. Tai's side since childhood, gentle and reasonable, If you don't understand anything in this mansion and you're embarrassed to ask others, you can ask Tingfang."
Lin Shi nodded, took the two meeting gifts she had prepared in advance from the maid Qiuyue, and handed them to the Guo Xiao brothers and sisters, and said softly: "We will be a family in the future. If you have any needs, just tell me."
The brothers and sisters said in unison, "Thank you, mother."
Lin Shi then looked at her precious daughter, and saw her daughter standing there pitifully, as if she would cry at any time. Lin Shi was shocked. Could it be that her daughter has suffered any grievances here
Guo Boyan also found out what was wrong with Song Jianing, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that if Song Jianing was really wronged, it was mostly related to his children. One side is the children and the other is the Lin family, no one's heart is suitable for Han.
"An An, come here to meet your father." The ceremony was the best, Lin Shi suppressed the doubts in his heart and called with a smile.
Song Jianing walked up to her mother and called out to Guo Boyan's father obediently, but her voice was weak, like a mosquito, and then she almost lost her strength to look up at the man, and she was dizzy with hunger. Just after recognizing her relatives, her stomach growled again. Song Jianing was so uncomfortable, she looked at her mother for help, she was really going to lose her footing.
Lin Shi knew her daughter a lot, and she understood it all at once, she reluctantly hugged the daughter she was holding onto her arms, and said to Guo Boy in a low voice, "Grandpa Guo, An An can't help but be hungry when she is young, let's wait for her to eat something. Go ahead, or I'm afraid she will make a joke on Mrs. Tai's side." There was a bit of embarrassment in the words.
Song Jianing was so embarrassed that he plunged into his mother's arms, and no one was embarrassed to look at it.
Guo Boyan, who knew the reason, laughed loudly, rubbed the little girl's head, and loudly ordered the girl to serve the cakes.
