Old Madam Helan was playing with a raccoon dog in the courtyard.
"Xiao Wang, didn't you say you were going out to buy ingredients for dinner? Why did you come back?"
Madam Helan looks about seven or eight parts like Madam Ju, but compared to Madam Ju, Madam Helan is younger and more energetic.
This mold shows just how stunningly beautiful Madam Helan was in her youth.
"Madam, a young comrade who claims to be Sheng Qian has arrived. She says she has some things sent from a county town under Xuan City. Would you like to see her?" Wang Qing said in a low voice.
Old Madam Helan paused in stroking the cat. "Things sent from Xuan City?"
"yes."
"Let her in," said Madam Helan, placing the cat on the ground before washing her hands and sitting in the shade of a tree in the courtyard.
When Sheng Qian walked in, she saw an elegant old lady sitting there pouring tea. Looking at her, Sheng Qian immediately thought of Old Lady Ju.
The other person has a bit of the old lady Ju's vibe.
Without a doubt, the two are related.
As for what kind of relationship they had, Grandma Ju didn't say, nor did she ask.
"Old Madam Helan".
Sheng Qian placed the things she was holding on the table.
Old Madam Helan looked up and sized up Sheng Qian as she entered.
When she saw Sheng Qian, Madam Helan was stunned.
picture.
They look so alike!
"Old Madam Helan?" Sheng Qian called out.
Madam Helan snapped out of her daze and spilled the tea in her hand. She quickly grabbed a clean cotton cloth from the side to wipe it up.
Unable to conceal her lapse in composure, Old Madam Helan looked at Sheng Qian and asked, "Which family's daughter are you from?"
The Helan family has always been low-key and rarely goes out.
Therefore, he didn't care much about these things in the capital.
I've never heard of such a person.
"I am from Wutong Village, which is under Xuan City. My name is Sheng Qian," Sheng Qian said, maintaining proper etiquette when facing the old man.
"You're also from Xuan City?" Old Madam Helan asked, somewhat surprised.
“It’s from Xuan City.” Sheng Qian pushed the unopened box on the table. “This is something that Grandma Ju asked me to bring for you. Now that it has arrived, I’ll take my leave.”
With that, Sheng Qian prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else, Madam Helan?"
"Are you her granddaughter?" Old Madam Helan asked with some surprise.
Sheng Qian knew who she was referring to, "I am not Grandma Ju's granddaughter, and Grandma Ju has not remarried."
"No?" But they look so alike.
"no."
Madam Helan was even more surprised and suspicious: "Then what about your parents? Did they also come to the capital?"
Sheng Qian didn't know why the other person suddenly asked about her parents, but she still answered truthfully: "My parents are farmers in Wutong Village and did not come to the capital with me."
"I see," Madam Helan couldn't help but look at Sheng Qian a few more times and said, "Young comrade, thank you for making this trip."
"That's how it should be."
"I feel a sense of kinship when I see you, young comrade. Over the years, I have been walking around this courtyard alone, without anyone to talk to. I wonder if you will be able to visit this old woman more often in the future?" Madam Helan continued, "Although it is too abrupt to say this, this old woman likes liveliness and can't help it. Please don't mind, young comrade."
The other person was an elder, and spoke to me in this manner.
Sheng Qian naturally didn't mind.
Sheng Qian also felt a strange sense of familiarity with this old lady Helan.
Wang Qing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but glance at Old Madam Helan.
Having worked for the Helan family for so long, I've never heard of the old lady liking lively gatherings.
However, she couldn't say these words aloud.
"I will come if I have the chance."
Sheng Qian's words were just a perfunctory response.
After all, she had only met Madam Helan once, and it would be inappropriate for her to suddenly get close to her.
Helan is a prominent family.
If she were to approach, who knows what the people outside would guess.
Madam Helan's eyes darkened. "You young people are always so good at giving perfunctory answers. Fine, fine, let this old woman suffocate here."
Wang Qing: "..."
Sheng Qian found it somewhat amusing.
This old lady looks quite serious; I never expected her to have this side to her.
"Since I have said that, I will make time to come over."
"I just feel a connection with you, old lady. I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone else. So, come over tomorrow and keep this old woman company. I hope it won't interfere with your schedule?"
Sheng Qian thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything planned for tomorrow. I'll make time to visit Madam Helan tomorrow."
“Then it’s settled,” said Madam Helan, asking Wang Qing to bring paper and pen. “Tell me your phone number.”
Sheng Qian couldn't help but smile, and still gave him her home phone number.
Even after leaving Helan's house, Sheng Qian still felt a little confused.
Wang Qing handed Sheng Qian a can of top-quality Longjing tea, saying, "This is a thank-you gift that the old lady instructed me to give to Miss Sheng, to thank you for bringing these things over on her behalf."
"It was nothing, no need for thanks."
"The old lady instructed me to take it, Miss Sheng, otherwise the old lady will scold me later," Wang Qing handed the fine Longjing tea to Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian had no choice but to accept.
"Please thank the old lady for me."
Wang Qing watched Sheng Qian get into the car and leave, concealing her surprise, and turned back.
“Madam, the things have been taken away by Miss Sheng,” Wang Qing said in a low voice. “This Miss Sheng is beautiful and can drive. These days, there are few men who can drive. I didn’t expect Miss Sheng to be able to drive at such a young age.”
