Chapter 109
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, I didn't say I wouldn't take it."
As soon as Chen Jiuying heard that there was food, she quickly stopped Li Yuezhu, picked up the basket in her hand and ran forward.
Li Yuezhu followed from behind with his younger brother.
When they arrived at the gate of the Chen Mansion, three or four carriages were already parked at the door. Mrs. Chen had just come out of the courtyard. When she saw Chen Jiuying bringing Li Yuezhu and her little brother, she quickly greeted her with a smile.
"Yue Zhu, come on, come on, you little ones will take this car."
"Hey, thank you, Mrs. Chen." Li Yuezhu also bowed to Mrs. Chen.
Standing next to Mrs. Chen was a voluptuous and beautiful woman with rosy eyes and cherry lips. She was dressed in a fancy dress, showing off all her advantages to the fullest.
Li Yuezhu guessed that this should be the third aunt that Chen Jiuying mentioned.
There is also a teenage girl standing next to this beautiful woman. She is almost carved out of the same mold as this beautiful woman. They are not that outstanding in appearance, but they understand their own advantages and highlight them more clearly.
"This is Third Aunt. Yuezhu, just call her Third Aunt." Mrs. Chen introduced her with a smile, not being unfair to one or the other.
"Third Aunt, Yuezhu is so polite." Li Yuezhu also bowed to her.
"She is really a pretty girl. She looks so pretty at her young age." The beautiful woman's voice was sharp and harsh, which made Li Yuezhu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Linglong, go and sit in a carriage with your ninth sister." The third aunt pushed Chen Linglong and asked her to sit in a carriage with Chen Jiuying.
"Mom, no, I haven't finished yesterday's story yet. Linglong hasn't heard enough yet. Let's continue telling it today."
The little girl named Linglong shook the third aunt's hand and said coquettishly.
In fact, this little girl doesn't want to hear stories. She has looked down on this ninth sister since she was a child. Not only is she careless, but she is also causing trouble all the time. She laughs like a donkey every day. How can any girl walk like that?
Yes, she doesn’t look like a lady.
Besides, she also heard that Sister Ninth had made a friend, and that friend actually came from the country. He sent her some rare things a few days ago, and her father praised her greatly.
Chen Linglong had never enjoyed this kind of treatment. She had longed for her father's love since she was a child, and her biological mother was also a useless person. After living for so long, she was just a third aunt, which made her gnash her teeth with hatred.
"Since Linglong doesn't want to go, then just sit with your mother in the second carriage." How could Mrs. Chen not know how charming this little girl is?
"Thank you, mother."
Li Yuezhu and Chen Jiuying naturally didn't care about the girl. They carried the basket and happily got into the last car.
Not long after getting in the car, it started. Chen Jiuying, who was sitting in the car, was naturally excited. She talked non-stop along the way, and Xiao An and Li Yuezhu also had a sense of expectation.
The car staggered through the downtown area of the county town, walked out of the city gate, and headed south. After driving for less than an hour, you could feel a burst of moisture.
Li Yuezhu opened the curtains, and there was indeed a large lake in the distance.
It was also the first time for Xiao An to come back here. He had lived in Lijia Village since he was a child. At most, he had only seen the Xingfu River. He excitedly pointed at the birds chirping by the lake and tugged at the corner of Li Yuezhu's clothes.
The happy look on his face is self-evident.
After driving along the lake for a while, several similar carriages stopped in front of us.
"The people we went out to play with today are all my mother's close friends. The third aunt got the news from somewhere and insisted on following her. Isn't this a disappointment!"
Chen Jiuying obviously didn't like seeing the third aunt very much either.
"Okay, when the time comes, we can play our own games, so don't complain. You will be happy to finally come out."
Chen Jiuying heard that what Li Yuezhu said was quite reasonable, so she put San Yiniang behind.
Li Yuezhu pulled Xiao An out of the car. There was a large cruise ship parked in front of him. Naturally, the few baskets the servant asked him to bring were put on the ship.
Chen Jiuying pulled Li Yuezhu and ran to the side of the boat. She said excitedly to Li Yuezhu: "Look, I said, there are a lot of lotus leaves here. Let's pick more and go back."
Xiao An was also very excited, but since the people standing next to him were all unknown nobles, he didn't show it and just stood obediently next to Li Yuezhu.
This is a large ship about tens of meters long, and even the deck must be five or six meters long. A small shed was built in the middle of the ship, and the windows were decorated with pink gauze to be very clean. You can tell at a glance
, this is a boat for the female relatives of a wealthy family.
After a group of more than a dozen people got on the boat, the boat began to slowly swim toward the center of the lake.
The kids on the boat were also very excited, and even Linglong, who was pretending to be serious, was full of smiles.
"It seems that we really should go out for a walk more often to see the summer scenery and the fresh air. It is better than being suffocated in the house."
Mrs. Chen was sitting in the small shed of the boat with a smile on her face. If it hadn't been for the fun of drinking and drinking these past few days, she would not have thought of inviting a few friends to go boating together.
"This is really thanks to Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu keeps asking me to come out to play every day. I also think she is too wild and doesn't look like a girl. I have been tortured by her for several days and I can't stand her.
After getting entangled, I invited some sisters to come out together."
When one of the wealthy women heard what Mrs. Chen said, she burst out laughing: "It seems that it's all thanks to Xiaojiu. I think this girl is quite nice. Don't hold her captive all day long."
"Oh, Sister Liu was joking. Only after seeing your family's quietness did I realize what ladies are like. My child is like a wild boy who can't even be locked up." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
"Sister Chen and Sister Liu, don't talk about it. I'm so greedy when I look at the eldest daughter of your two families. I can't even get a daughter if I want one. Sister Chen, why are you so picky from here?"
.Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really don’t know how many people are envious of me.”
The ladies were sitting in the shed talking and laughing, and there was nothing wrong with the third aunt.
This third aunt was originally from Yihongyuan, so she naturally did not have the cultivation and upbringing of these official wives. If it weren't for Linglong, I don't know where I heard that today's lady was preparing to go boating, and she was clamoring to come. How could she not know how to do it?
Asking for grievance.
"Linglong, I haven't met your sister Wenjing soon, I want to learn more from your sister Wenjing." The third aunt looked at Liu Wenjing who was sitting quietly aside, and pushed Linglong to her side.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? Wen Jing naturally has some shortcomings. Sister Linglong is so well-behaved and sensible, why do you need to learn from me?" Liu Wenjing's voice was gentle and pleasant, which made people feel happy after hearing it.
The third aunt didn't want her daughter to learn from other girls. If it weren't for the fact that Governor Liu had a transcendent status here and Linglong was about to get hairpins, she would have more contacts with such people, otherwise she would not let her daughter go out.
Pushing.
"Sister Wenjing, let me be by your side." Linglong still had a very good impression of Wenjing, mainly because her father was the governor-general, and for such a big official, she had to fawn a lot.
Linglong said, and took out an embroidered purse from her arms: "Sister, look, this is the mandarin duck purse I have embroidered in the past few days. See if it can still catch your eye."
As soon as Liu Wenjing took the beautifully embroidered purse, there was a noise outside.
"Yue Zhu, just show me. I'll just take a look. What good things have you brought?"
"You haven't even answered my question, why should I show it to you?"
"The key is what kind of riddle is that? I've guessed several answers and I can't get it right. You don't give me any hints. Where can I guess?"
"You can't guess it yourself, so don't blame me."
Chen Jiuying muttered, feeling very aggrieved: "Okay, okay, okay, you say it again and I will make a serious guess."
"Listen up, this is the last time," Li Yuezhu's voice revealed a hint of helplessness: "Tall buildings are built with single logs, without tiles or bricks. People walk under water, and water flows up people. How about it, remember?
?”
"..."
Chen Jiuying was scratching her head here, extremely curious, but she couldn't figure it out. Just when she was about to ask again, a crisp voice sounded in the room.
