Some days later, Meng took Jiang Nuan and Jiang Qing to visit Zong's family.
As a scheming person like her, of course she must seize the powerful connections in the Zong family.
Mrs. Zong talked with Meng and asked his second young lady to take Jiang Nuan and Jiang Qing to the yard over there to have tea and fruits, so as not to be restrained in front of the elders.
"Yuwei, take your two younger sisters to sit in your room. Take out the food and toys that your eldest sister sent yesterday and see if An Nuan and the others like it. Then ask the kitchen to send our newly made snacks. Don't neglect it." Mrs. Zong warned.
"I understand, mother." Zong Yuwei responded with a smile, "Although I am not a considerate master, my two sisters are not picky."
"Madam, you are really good at educating people. Needless to say, the eldest lady in your family is also very courteous and courteous. Ah Nuan and Ah Qing, you guys should follow me and learn from me." Meng smiled brightly and did her best to show off her face.
Jiang Nuan and Jiang Qing followed Zong Yuwei to her yard.
The second young lady of the Zong family wrote very well, so Jiang Qing asked someone to give her some advice.
"Sister Yuwei, your handwriting in small regular script with hairpin flowers is really good. I have been writing for several years, but my writing skills are always insufficient." Jiang Qing said distressedly.
"I'm still far behind. It looks okay from a distance, but if you look closely, it's all flaws." Zong Yuwei was generous and took out the copybook he usually used to practice calligraphy for Jiang Qing to copy.
Jiang Nuan was annoyed by these things the most. After drinking a few sips of tea, he felt bored, so he wanted to hang out in the yard.
"Ah Nuan, the wintersweet flowers on the east side of the yard are in bloom. You can go and admire them. Be sure to wear thicker clothes so as not to catch the cold." Zong Yuwei prefers to be quiet and not move, and would rather practice calligraphy with Jiang Qing.
"I'll be right here in the yard. I won't go far. I'll be back after a short walk." Jiang Nuan responded with a smile.
The courtyard where Zong Yuwei lives is not small, not to mention that the eldest daughter Zong Yuxiang has already gotten married, and the adjacent courtyard is also idle.
Zong Yuwei asked the two maids to follow Jiang Nuan and go to the yard to enjoy the flowers together with the bells.
"We haven't been here for only two days, but the flowers are already blooming so well." Seeing the plum blossoms in full bloom, the two maids of the Zong family wanted to take a few plum blossoms back and offer them to them.
But because I have to stay with Jiang Nuan, it’s not easy to leave.
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "I won't be far away from here. My two sisters don't have to worry about me. My second sister and my younger sister both like writing and painting. Maybe after seeing this plum blossom, I will write poems again."
When the two maids heard what she said, one of them folded the plum blossoms and the other went to find the bottle.
Zong Tianbao happened to be at home that day. When he heard that Jiang Nuan had come to the house, he immediately got dressed and ran out.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at my mother's side, I only saw two adults talking.
"Why did you come here so recklessly? You didn't even say hello to the guests." Madam Zong said with a hint of love in her anger. She only had a son like Zong Tianbao, how could she not feel sorry for him?
"How's Aunt Jiang?" Zong Tianbao immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Meng replied repeatedly as if she had seen a living baby, "We haven't seen him for a few days, and he has grown taller again. This child is very popular, and he is smart and sensible."
"He's naughty. You're really flattering him. This kid always seems like he won't grow up. He is often so angry that it gives me a headache." Madam Zong said.
"Brother, I am still young after all. Your family has strict upbringing. Even if you are a little naughty, you will not make big mistakes. You will definitely be successful when you grow up." Meng's flattery came out of his mouth, and he said it naturally. , and does not show any deliberate flattery.
"Then let me borrow Mrs. Jiang's good words," Mrs. Zong said with a smile, "God forbid, I haven't thanked your aunt yet."
Zong Tianbao came out from his mother's house and went to his second sister's yard. He knew that if Jiang Nuan was not in his mother's house, he must be at his second sister's house.
Jiang Nuan was admiring the flowers with Ling Dang when he heard footsteps behind him.
Hearing the noise, it was not a woman. When he turned around, he saw Zong Tianbao running towards him like a gust of wind wearing an azure gray rat cloak and thick-soled boots.
When Jiang Nuan saw him, she couldn't help but frown.
This Zong Tianbao really likes to make fun of people, and he is so talkative and mean-spirited that he is really annoying.
This is the first time the two of them have met since Jiang Nuan pushed him into the water last time.
There was a gap of half a year, but one felt that time went too fast, while the other felt that the days were long.
"Bell, let's go back to the house!" Jiang Nuan said and was about to leave.
Zong Tianbao quickly opened his hands to stop her. He was out of breath and anxious, and he couldn't help but feel a little rude.
Jiang Nuan didn't look at him at all and turned sideways, trying to go around.
"Please stay!" Zong Tianbao stopped her and said with a slight hesitation, "I...I will never laugh at you again."
Jiang Nuan was a little surprised when he heard what he said. She quickly raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her head.
Thinking of how much trouble he had caused himself, he still felt resentful in his heart, so he said, "You'd better keep your word."
"I won't lie to you," Zong Tianbao said hurriedly, "in fact, I didn't mean to humiliate you before..."
Jiang Nuan didn't want to say more, so he just said: "I am not at odds with you. As long as you don't provoke me, nothing will happen."
She is not a fussy person, and besides, even if she doesn't care about Zong Tianbao's face, she still has to care about Uncle Zong and Aunt Zong's.
Unexpectedly, when she said this, Zong Tianbao became anxious.
"What does it mean that water from a well does not interfere with water from a river?" Zong Tianbao asked, holding his neck, "Does it mean that if I die, the world will be at peace?"
"What are you talking about? Which of my curses will kill you? I can't afford to offend you, so why can't I hide from you?" Jiang Nuan felt confused.
Of course Zong Tianbao knew that she did not curse him, but what Jiang Nuan said made him extremely upset.
"It turns out that you hate me so much." Zong Tianbao was filled with frustration, "I didn't mean to tease you, I just..."
"I didn't take those things to heart in the past," Jiang Nuan saw the regret on his face and said, "If you don't talk nonsense in the future, I will treat you with courtesy."
Hearing what she said, Zong Tianbao immediately became happy and said: "I will never do it again, and I will make amends to you for what happened in the past!"
"No need, I've already said that I won't take it to heart." Jiang Nuan is always a generous person, not to mention that the two families are family friends, "If nothing happens, just get out of the way."
But Zong Tianbao didn't want her to go, he just wanted to see her a few more times.
Ginger Nuan grows bright and cute, like a fresh peach growing on an autumn branch.
Zong Tianbao didn't know why, but he couldn't walk when he saw Jiang Nuan.
Although most of the disciples who hang out with her all day long think that Cen Yunchu is beautiful and charming, he is not moved and only thinks that Jiang Nuan is the most beautiful one.
And he couldn't help but think back to the moment when Jiang Nuan ran into his arms. She was so sweet and soft, and he really wanted to hold her in his arms for the rest of his life.
