Shen Wanqing blinked and took the Osmanthus Pastry from Old Madame. She took a bite and said, "Yes, it's crispy and sweet. It's delicious."
Old Madame smiled and looked very gentle. "It's delicious, isn't it? Eat more if it's delicious."
The old housekeeper was a little surprised.
Everyone in the Commander's Mansion knew that Old Madame liked Osmanthus Pastry the most. The usually amiable Madam Dowager became extremely protective of her food when faced with the Osmanthus Pastry. Even when Great Grandfather was still alive, the number of Osmanthus Pastry he ate from Old Madame could be counted on one hand!
Now, the only person in the mansion who could eat Osmanthus Pastry from Old Madame was the Second Master.
Unfortunately, the Second Master didn't like sweet things.
He was the second person after the Second Master who could make Old Madame take the initiative to give him Osmanthus Pastry.
In the hall, the white-haired and elegant Old Madame was chatting with the cute and beautiful girl beside her with kind eyes. The gramophone next to them was playing opera. This scene made people feel at ease and warm.
Shen Wanqing took the tea carefully handed to her by Old Madame and thanked her in a low voice. Shen Wanqing sipped the tea gently to moisten her throat. She listened to the "Legend of the White Snake" playing on the gramophone next to her. Shen Wanqing couldn't help but ask, "Old Madame also likes to listen to the" Legend of the White Snake "?"
"Yes, I like it." Old Madam smiled and hummed a few words to the music of the gramophone.
Shen Wanqing sat quietly and listened. When Old Madame finished singing, Shen Wanqing clapped her hands and praised, "Old Madame sang so well."
Old Madame rebuked, "You're so sweet. Don't tease me here. How can I compare with you?"
"No way. Old Madame's voice is very good. It's much better than some people! " Shen Wanqing was right. Old Madame's singing was indeed very good. It was obvious that she was a person who listened to operas all year round. She probably listened to the "Legend of the White Snake" a lot and was very familiar with it. It wasn't exquisite, but it had the flavor.
"Miss Shen, you don't look very old, do you?" Old Madam asked.
Shen Wanqing replied, "I'm not young anymore. I'm nineteen. I'll be 20 in June next year. "
"Oh, you're only nineteen!" The old madame smiled and said, "You're two years younger than us inkstone cultivators!"
The Old Madame asked curiously, "Did you grow up in an opera troupe?"
"No." Shen Wanqing shook her head. "I used to be from Xi 'an, but my family was sold to a human trafficker. But the human trafficker ran into a problem on the way. He encountered the Japanese, so he threw me to the Japanese and ran away. Fortunately, I met the army at that time and was saved. After giving me a sum of money, I came to Beiping. After many twists and turns, I met my current master, and only then did I have the current me … "
When the girl said this, her expression was calm, which made the old madam and the old butler feel even more distressed.
Old Madame held Shen Wanqing's small hand with heartache. She sighed and patted the girl's hand. "It's been hard on you, child. It's not easy!"
Shen Wanqing shook her head carelessly. "It's all in the past. Besides, I'm living quite well now."
Old Madam Gu's eyes were already a little red. Once a person got old, their emotions would be more emotional. Shen Wanqing thought that Old Madame should not be too emotional because she was old. She was afraid that it would hurt her body. She changed the topic. "Since Old Madame likes to listen to the 'Legend of the White Snake' so much, why don't Qingqing accompany Old Madame to sing a short part today?"
