The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 38 Cousin
Song Jinyue nodded slightly before entering the mansion.

Mrs. Liu welcomed them to the second gate, and Song Jinyue asked Mrs. Liu to go back to rest first, and took Qiu Yun to her grandmother's yard by herself.

The maid in the old lady's courtyard saw Second Miss Song come back, and smiled and called "Second Miss Song".

Song Jinyue was walking down the corridor, and heard the laughter of her grandmother and aunt Xie from the main room. It seemed that there were others?That silvery bell-like laughter sounded somewhat familiar.

Song Jinyue couldn't help thinking of Cousin Zhi whom she hadn't seen for many years.

The maid guarding the door was opening the bamboo curtain for Second Miss Song, Song Jinyue stopped, looked at the maid, and asked, "But Cousin Zhi is back?"

The servant girl nodded with a smile on her face, and replied, "Go back to Second Miss Song, and it's only a cup of tea for Third Miss to come back."

In the previous life, Cousin Zhi didn't return home until ten days later.

A strange look flashed across Song Jinyue's expression. How many things are there in this life that are different from the previous life?
Thinking about this in her heart, she didn't even realize that behind the black lacquer and green gauze screen, there was a girl in a green dress trotting towards her with her skirt lifted.

"Yue'er", a hurried cheer brought Song Jinyue's thoughts back.

Her eyes were tightly wrapped in a touch of emerald green, and Cousin Zhi wrapped her in her arms. The warm breath made Song Jinyue feel warm from the bottom of her heart.

The girl in front of her had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyes were as clear and bright as the stars.

With every frown and smile, there is a heroic and heroic spirit.

And she is the only lady in the Zhang Mansion, the third Miss Zhang Dingzhi.

"Yue'er, you've grown taller, and you look more and more pretty..." Zhang Dingzhi let go of the girl with a soft figure in his arms, took her by the arm, turned it around several times, and sized her up carefully.

This is the final judgment.

"Cousin Zhi, you look more and more pretty!" Song Jinyue replied with a smile.

In a word, it made the two girls of similar age look at each other, forgetting all the rules and etiquette for a moment, and the two laughed loudly.

"What are the two leather monkeys doing at the door, why don't you hurry up and talk!" the old lady cursed with a smile.

Song Jinyue and Cousin Zhi looked at each other, said "yes", and then walked towards the old lady, holding each other's arms.

Meals have already been set on the black lacquered round table in the house, and a woman has already come down to bring the soup that is still hot on the stove.

Right now, there is a lot of push from the women and maids in the house.

"Come and sit down!" The old lady specially left an empty chair on the left and right. Seeing her granddaughter and granddaughter walking in together, she hurriedly beckoned them to sit beside her.

Zhang Dingzhi sat down next to his mother Xie, with grandmother on one side and mother on the other.

Song Jinyue sat on the vacant side of the grandmother.

After she sat down, the old lady took Song Jinyue's hand and asked, "What were you laughing at with your cousin just now?"

The old lady looked inquiring, like a child who likes to ask questions.

"Cousin Zhi said that I have grown taller, and I praised her for being taller and more beautiful." Song Jinyue raised her head and smiled innocently.

The old lady turned her head and cast a reproachful glance at her granddaughter.

On the contrary, Zhang Dingzhi refused, pursed his lips, and muttered: "As soon as my cousin comes back, look at your heart, grandma, it's all gone!"

After finishing speaking, he deliberately gave Song Jinyue a glance.

This expression fell into the eyes of the old lady, but it made the old lady laugh. She raised her hand and patted her granddaughter on the back lightly, "You monkey, you are becoming more and more unruly now! Let your mother take you more tomorrow!" Go out and walk around, see if you still say that grandma is partial!"

"Grandmother!" The smile on Zhang Dingzhi's face disappeared immediately, and he pouted and shook his grandmother's arm, "I don't want it!"

She has always disliked family banquets, even the banquets in the palace, she would not go if she could.

Although all of them were full of smiles and looked kind and friendly, there were invisible and intangible sharp needles hidden in those soft words.

Moreover, the Zhang family has reached its current status, so why do they need descendants to curry favor with others?

It is necessary to make the emperor sleepless, worrying about his relatives seizing power.

Therefore, grandma has always let her and her brothers mess around in the capital.

As long as the children and grandchildren concentrate on eating and drinking, and do not have such great ambitions to be seen by others, they can protect the safety of the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family.

The old lady smiled and nodded her granddaughter's forehead, and then ordered: "Eat quickly, the food is going to be cold, your cousin is weak, so it is not suitable to eat cold food."

"Yes, yes, yes! The granddaughter listens to her grandma!" Only then did Zhang Dingzhi show a bit of shyness that belonged to a girl again.

Xie looked at her own daughter, and thought of those two "rebellious sons", and felt that no one had a temperament like her!
On the contrary, it was her niece's temper, which was the same as her childhood temper at home, which made her cherish her a little more.

The old lady moved her chopsticks, Xie then signaled her daughter to eat with her niece.

During the dinner, the old lady was eating Dongmanlou's roast chicken, and she couldn't help asking Song Jinyue why she thought of going to Dongmanlou.

She then mentioned that during these years in Yunquan Villa, she wanted to eat Dongmanlou's roast chicken from time to time, but today she was free, so she eagerly looked for it.

The old lady glanced at her granddaughter with deep eyes, smiled and said "Yes", and didn't ask any more questions.

But she still sensed something was wrong. She had lived for so long without any storms.

The good-natured little grandson even made a fuss and went to Dingzhou, and her granddaughter's behavior also made her suspicious, but since they don't want to talk about it, let them go!
She is also old, and if she can live for a day, she can shelter them from the wind and rain for a day!
As for their thoughts, if they don't want to say it, then don't say it!

After dinner, a few people sat with the old lady again, chatting about family affairs, the maid in the room added new oil lamps, and the old lady's eyelids drooped.

Xie took her daughter and niece to get up and leave.

The old lady waved her hand, signaling them to go down and rest too.

After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Zhang Dingzhi said goodbye to his mother, and dragged Song Jinyue to the Cuizhu Pavilion.

Zhang Dingzhi had already made up his mind tonight, he wanted to stay with his cousin, and asked his maid to go to his courtyard to pick up a change of clothes and bring some food.

I haven't seen her for many years, and she has a lot to ask her cousin.

Seeing her young lady coming back, Yuan Nanny hurriedly asked Jiaoming and Sanming to prepare hot water for the two masters to wash up.

Song Jinyue watched helplessly as Cousin Zhi was busy, and after the two finished washing, she asked Qiu Yun to go down early to rest tonight.

In the room, only an oil lamp was lit on the black lacquered stool beside the bed.

Zhang Dingzhi carefully looked at his cousin from left to right, and saw that she looked fine, so he took her hand, and the two of them lay down side by side.

Looking at the green gauze on the top of the tent, Zhang Dingzhi sighed faintly.

"What's wrong?" Song Jinyue turned sideways, looked at Cousin Zhi and asked.

Zhang Dingzhi turned sideways, met his cousin's eyes, and then said: "Yue'er, what do you mean by grandma today, but you want to see her for me?"
