Shi Ge'er was not really hungry, he just didn't want his mother and aunt to talk.
Song Yu pretended not to see Shi Ge'er's rejection of her, bent over and approached him, speaking softly to him, "Auntie has some delicious food, Shi Ge'er, do you want to go over?"
The child hugged Song Luan's neck, turned away, and was indifferent to Song Yu's kind smile, "I want to eat the cakes made by my mother."
Song Luan pursed her lips and chuckled, then returned to normal. She always maintained a certain level of pride in front of the Song family. "Fourth sister, if you have nothing to do, go back. Don't bother yourself here."
This is not a nice thing to say, but it is something the original owner could say.
Song Yu just thought that the temper of this third sister had improved a little compared to before, but now she no longer thinks so. Her mouth is still as sharp as before, and her sarcastic and mean personality is really annoying!
She suppressed her anger and swallowed it down even if she had to grit her teeth. She had suffered a lot from Song Luan before. This sister was not only harsh with her words, but also would grab her hair and slap her when she was really angry. She was very difficult to deal with.
If it wasn't for the purpose of finding out, Song Yu would not have been willing to come to her. Every time I saw her, I was always humble.
She smiled stiffly, "Then I won't bother you any more."
After Song Yu left, Song Luan carried Shi Ge'er to Aunt Lin's place. On the way, she said, "Shi Ge'er, I'll make you some cakes after we get home, okay?"
If she cooked in front of Aunt Lin or other people in the Song family, they would probably be scared to death, thinking that she had something wrong with her brain or was possessed by a ghost.
Shi Ge'er was very well behaved at this moment. He responded to whatever she said, "Okay."
Aunt Lin had just returned from the kitchen, having cooked lotus seed soup herself. Just as she was about to bring it to her, she came over. Aunt Lin also saw Shi Ge'er on her shoulder.
"Oh, Shibao is awake. Come here, grandma just cooked this, it's so delicious and sweet."
Aunt Lin treated Shi Ge'er neither well nor badly. She didn't pay too much attention to him nor treated him harshly. The child looked more like his father, didn't talk much, and was well-behaved and obedient. She seldom sees this grandson because she only cares about her daughter and has no time to take care of this grandson.
The daughter is a member of our family, but the grandson's surname is Zhao.
Shi Ge'er got down from the ground, climbed onto the table, said thank you politely, then picked up the bowl and spoon and took a bite.
Very sweet, very sweet.
Song Luan sat down next to him and took a bite. She almost spit it out, it was so sweet! Doesn’t sugar cost money?
Aunt Lin looked at her expectantly and asked, "Luanbao, is it delicious?"
Luanbao is Song Luan's nickname. Aunt Lin liked to call her that when she was very young. After she grew up, she stopped letting Aunt Lin call her that. But it still calls once or twice occasionally.
Song Luan swallowed the soup in his mouth with difficulty and said with a guilty conscience, "It tastes good."
The original owner likes sweet food, but she doesn’t like it.
Aunt Lin smiled happily and said with satisfaction: "I knew you would like it. No one in the Zhao family can make this taste. Drink more. There is plenty in the kitchen."
"Mom, I understand."
Song Luan almost swallowed the bowl of lotus seed soup with one swallow. Her mouth was filled with a greasy sweet taste that made her head ache. She quickly drank a glass of water to relieve the greasy taste.
Shi Ge'er also finished a whole bowl and didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all. Song Luan was a little curious and asked him, "Do you like it? Is it delicious?"
He nodded, "It's delicious."
Shi Ge'er would not lie to her. He would only say that if he really liked it and thought it tasted good.
Song Luan laughed dryly, "Are you still hungry?"
He shook his head, "I'm full."
Song Luan was afraid that he would get sick from eating so she quickly took the wrist away from him and said, "It's okay as long as you are full."
Zhao Nanyu was talking to his father-in-law.
The reason why Song Lian was so popular in the court was that he was "honest" enough. Of course, half of this honesty was pretended by him. He was the backbone of the Song family and he had the final say.
He was not satisfied with Zhao Nanyu, his son-in-law.
Officials are more or less snobbish. Based on his many years of experience as an official in the court, he judged that Zhao Nanyu would not make much achievements in the future. After all, he is his son-in-law. Even if he is not satisfied, he will not fail to make suggestions. Besides, he has been ridiculed a lot because of his daughter over the years, so he can take it as a kind of compensation.
Zhao Nanyu handed over the birthday gift that he had prepared in advance. It was received by the butler standing next to Song Lian. His father-in-law didn't even bother to look at it, probably because he thought that he couldn't give anything rare.
"I've also heard about the stupid things Aluan did. You should be more tolerant of her and don't bother with her." Song Lian was talking about the secret meeting between Song Luan and a man two months ago.
Zhao Nanyu twitched the corner of his mouth, "I know."
Song Lian also felt that he was easy to bully because of his temper. No matter what inappropriate things Song Luan did, he didn't think it was her fault.
"I feel relieved when you do this. It's good for the family to be harmonious and happy."
Zhao Nanyu stood with his hands behind his back. He looked thin and his drooping eyelids completely blocked the emotions in his eyes. The slanting sunlight shone on his delicate eyebrows, making him look exceptionally gentle.
"yes."
Song Lian didn't say much to him. He just asked a few questions as usual and then sent him away.
Zhao Nanyu bowed and walked out of the main hall. He saw many familiar faces in the yard, including many colleagues from the Dali Temple. After greeting each of them, he went to the backyard.
The day passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Nanyu and Song Luan were about to leave after dinner at the Song family. This time, Song Luan did not quarrel with the other sisters for the first time. She was very well-behaved and finished the meal quietly without saying anything sarcastic or deliberately looking for trouble with others.
In the past few years, Song Luan couldn't help but use sarcastic words to sting them every year. The original owner felt that their smiles were annoying and were mocking her, so when she saw her sister or younger sister smiling at her, she would use sharp words to mock them back, and would not stop until both sides were hurt.
They were leaving, and the only person who was reluctant to let her go was probably Aunt Lin. She cried non-stop and sent her to the carriage, whimpering and whimpering. She ignored Zhao Nanyu beside her and wiped her tears and said, "Aluan, if you are not happy in the Zhao family, then come back to your mother. You can wrong anyone, but never wrong yourself."
Song Luan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, please go back."
After she made all kinds of promises, she sent Aunt Lin away. Song Luan finally had time to care about Zhao Nanyu. She turned to look at him, unable to suppress her curiosity, and asked, "What did my father tell you?"
Zhao Nanyu replied: "I asked some common questions and nothing else."
The expression on his face was distant and indifferent.
Song Luan felt relieved a little, "Oh."
The carriage suddenly stopped halfway through its journey. Song Luan lifted the curtain and looked out curiously. It turned out that there was also a carriage in front of them, which happened to block their way.
Song Luan looked for a while and was about to lower the curtain when a man walked out of the gorgeous carriage opposite. She looked carefully and saw clearly that the man was Zhao Chao. That is, the uncle who is close to the brother.
Zhao Chao walked straight towards their carriage and whispered outside, "Second brother."
Zhao Nanyu got off the carriage and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Chao smiled, and his handsome face suddenly became lively. He was wearing a crescent-colored straight-leg dress today, which made him look very elegant. He replied, "I came out to drink with A Yan, and who knew that by such a coincidence, I would run into my second brother."
Zhao Nanyu frowned, his handsome face full of disapproval. He whispered, "Don't take him drinking next time. He's still young."
Zhao Wenyan is seventeen years old this year, which is actually not considered young. Although they are not from the same mother, Zhao Nanyu is still strict with him.
Zhao Chao seemed to have guessed what he would say, and smiled vaguely, "You can't always lock someone up at home to study, what if he becomes stupid?" He changed the subject and said, "Second brother, go too. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
Zhao Nanyu turned sideways and said in a deep voice, "There is someone else in the carriage."
Zhao Chao pretended to understand something, "She's here too?"
When there was no one else around, he wouldn't even call her sister-in-law.
Zhao Nanyu nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
Zhao Chao just remembered that today was the birthday of his second brother's father-in-law. No wonder they were riding in the same carriage.
He smiled and said indifferently, "Then take her with you."
Zhao Chao also heard that his second brother's relationship with her seemed to be different these days, and there were even days when they went out together.
Zhao Nanyu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
He lifted the curtain and said to Song Luan, who was leaning on his head in a daze, "Come down."
Song Luan listened to his words in a daze, and only realized what he was going to do after getting off the carriage.
Ever since he got drunk last time, Song Luan swore never to drink in front of him again, but this time Zhao Nanyu didn't give him any chance to refuse.
He promptly ordered the coachman and the servant to send Shi Ge'er home first, and then took her wrist and went to a restaurant.
Zhao Chao booked a private room in advance and sat by the window. When he opened the window, he could see the deep lake not far away. On the deep blue lake water were floating colorful river lanterns released by the girls.
When they went to the restaurant, several men looked at her. She had put on bright makeup and her clothes were bright enough. Her overly beautiful facial features were made even more beautiful by the delicate makeup.
It's no wonder that men can't help but stare at her.
Zhao Wenyan sat by the window with a stern face. When he saw Song Luan coming in behind Zhao Nanyu, he snorted twice, quite dissatisfied, and almost asked, why is she here too? ? !
Song Luan's head really hurts. Compared to Zhao Chao, the scheming and smiling tiger, she doesn't want to see Zhao Wenyan even more. Just think that she is just wishful thinking. What if this man is the same as described in the original book and falls in love with her to death in the future? That would be bad!
As soon as Song Luan sat down, Zhao Chao pushed a glass of wine over to her, looking at her with a smile, as cunning as a fox, and said, "Second sister-in-law, I toast you a glass."
Zhao Nanyu suddenly took the cup from her hand and said, "Eat something first to fill your stomach."
After saying this, he raised his head and drank the glass of wine for her.
Song Luan was flattered and lowered her head to start eating the cake.
The smile on Zhao Chao's lips suddenly became meaningful, as if the relationship between his second brother and his wife had really improved.
Could it be that my second brother has started to like her? This thought was suppressed as soon as it came up. Zhao Chao laughed. Although he couldn't see through his second brother, he didn't think that he would fall in love with Song Luan.
Moreover, Zhao Chao felt that Song Luan might not live long.
