Chapter 19: Teahouse

"I dreamt—" Jiang Si's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a trace of fear.
Mrs. Feng couldn't help holding her breath.
The three-legged incense burner on the window case exudes a scent, which is the incense used by Mrs. Feng.
Mrs. Feng pays attention to this, all year round, when to burn what incense is a custom.
But doesn't like the smell of incense at any time.
It's too rich and her nose is uncomfortable.
"I dreamed that the two golden pheasants were coming to grab my eyes, and I hurriedly avoided them. As a result, the two golden pheasants flew to my grandmother..."
"And then?" Mrs. Feng narrowed her eyes.
"Then—" Jiang Si paused, and quickly raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Feng, "I saw my grandmother avoiding her and was scratched by a golden pheasant."
Mrs. Feng's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened.
At her age, she became more and more believing in mysterious things. She was awakened by such a weird dream last night, and she felt very reluctant. She didn't expect Si Yatou to have the same dream.
"Do you remember the golden pheasant scratched which eye of the grandmother?"
"Left eye." Jiang Si said without hesitation.
Mrs. Feng was shocked.
If she was a little bit hesitant before, now she has to believe that it was her left eye that the golden pheasant scratched in her dream!
This dream is definitely not a good omen, and it will be fulfilled in all likelihood, otherwise it is unreasonable that both grandparents and grandchildren will have the same dream.
"What happened afterwards?" Mrs. Feng asked with a calm mind.
"When the golden pheasant scratched the grandmother, the granddaughter woke up in shock, there was no more after."
Mrs. Feng was silent, and it took a long time before she muttered to herself: "What does this dream imply?"
She was talking to herself under restlessness, but Jiang Si said, "The hint is obvious."
Mrs. Feng was startled, staring at her as if she had never known this granddaughter.
Jiang Si pursed his lips and smiled: "I thought of it as soon as I saw the second sister today. The second sister is the second one among the Bofu girls, and she is also a chicken, isn't she the two golden pheasants."
"Nonsense!" Madam Feng's face sank.
Jiang Si spread his hands: "The granddaughter couldn't think of it, but I only had that strange dream last night, and my second sister is here today."
"Enough." Mrs. Feng put the tea cup heavily on the coffee table, not wanting to listen to Jiang Si anymore, "You go back."
"The granddaughter retire." Jiang Si got up and bent her knees slightly to Mrs. Feng, and did not intend to continue to persuade her, so he raised his foot and walked out.
"Wait." Mrs. Feng shouted from behind.
"What do you want from grandmother?"
"I don't want to hear these nonsense from others!"
Jiang Si smiled: "Don't worry, grandmother, granddaughter knows."
In the previous life, the "nonsense" was the grandmother herself.
At this time, Mrs. Feng's left eye began to ache inexplicably, and within two days she could not see it.
How could Mrs. Feng bear the pain of blindness in one eye? After inviting a few doctors to no avail, she invited a goddess instead.
The goddess made a ritual, and finally the spear was directed at Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhanxing two, he who likes to walk the birds and tease the dog happened to buy a new pair of parrots, and all the signs seemed to match the strange dream of Mrs. Feng.
Mrs. Feng was convinced of this, and in front of Jiang Zhan, she ordered the parrot to break her neck.
Strangely enough, not long after the pair of parrots were executed, Mrs. Feng's left eyes have recovered again, and Jiang Zhan has become more and more unwelcome.
Jiang Si still remembered that after Jiang Zhan died, she came back for the funeral. Her father, who used to beat and scold her second brother, was mostly gray, but her grandmother was calm as usual.
At that time, she thought that grandmother was such a prestigious demeanor that Taishan collapsed before, and then she realized that her grandmother was not calm, but indifferent.
Feelings are so few, how can you be sad?
After Jiang Si left, Mrs. Feng was not so calm on the surface.
What Si Yatou said is not without reason.
"Mother Feng, what do you think?"
Fuzhong is the housekeeper of the second wife, Xiao family. On weekdays, Xiao family does not give sweetness to the people around Mrs. Feng, so Feng's mother naturally wants to speak for Erfang.
"It's not easy to say--"
"If you have anything to say, just say it, you have been with me for so many years, do you not know my temper?"
Mother Feng hurriedly said yes, and thoughtfully said: "The mother-in-law coldly watched that the fourth girl was not very affectionate to the second girl today. Maybe it was a little conflict between the sisters that she said so."
"How should the dream of the four girls be explained?"
"The four girls and the old lady have a related dream, which shows that this dream really indicates something, but the woman can't think of where it should be."
"I hope it's just a coincidence." Mrs. Feng murmured.
When Mrs. Feng was talking to Ms. Feng, Yaxinyuan came to a maid who was wearing a tender green pylon. She quietly asked Axi and asked her a few words and hurriedly went back to revive her second wife Xiao.
"Madam, Sister Axi said that the second aunt's grandmother was choked by the fourth girl several times today, and the old lady didn't leave the second aunt's grandmother to speak when she was annoyed. The second aunt's grandmother was not happy, so she went directly to her in-law's house..."
Xiao's face sank instantly.
Unreasonably, her housekeeper has asked herself for so many years that she has never treated her big room badly. Qian'er is also like a sister to Jiang Si. How can Jiang Si be so unsure of what is good or bad, and dare to make her daughter angry?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Xiao Clan, and said with a sullen face, "Go and call Granny Liu from the kitchen."
Jiang Si didn't know that Jiang Qian's hurried departure made Xiao pay special attention to what happened in Cixintang, even if he knew it, he didn't care.
After leaving Cixintang, she sent Ah Qiao to report to Jiang Ancheng and took Ah Man out.
On the second floor of the tea house facing the window, you can see the lively street scene, Jiang Si holding a cup of tea and drinking slowly.
Aman took a sip of tea, tasting the taste: "It's not as good as our tea."
"Eating tea is not just for taste." Jiang Si stared out the window intently, and said casually.
"What is it for?" Aman asked curiously.
Jiang Si had already seen Jiang Zhan coming from a distance.
Jiang Zhan is less than seventeen years old, and walking in the crowd is not considered tall, but he can always be seen at a glance.
The young man like a pearl and beautiful jade, like a pearl in a pile of gravel, naturally attracts people's attention.
At this time, it was not the handsome and unparalleled brother who attracted Jiang-like, but the birdcage that the brother held.
The exquisite birdcage woven with bamboo silk contains a pair of colorful feather parrots.
"Of course it is to block people!" Jiang Si explained casually, following Jiang Zhan from far and near.
Jiang Zhan hummed his little song and walked briskly, but Xiao Si Aji trot all the way to keep up.
Seeing that Jiang Zhan was about to pass by the teahouse, Jiang Si broke off a piece of refreshment and threw it down, just hitting Jiang Zhan on the shoulder.
Jiang Zhan stretched out his hand, and there was cake scum on his white palm.
Jiang Zhan was furious, raised his head and cursed: "Who is like this—"
The girl's bright face disappeared from the window.
"---Witty!" Jiang Zhan gasped and continued the previous words.
