It is said that on the afternoon after Aunt Ding left such a "difficult choice" to Jia Min, Mai Chen, the wife of the prefect of Yangzhou, suddenly sent a letter of worship, saying that she hoped to come to the Lin Mansion tomorrow and "visit" Jia Min.

Jia Min took the post, and said suddenly.

- Speaking of which, Jia Min's impression of this prefect's wife is actually quite good: at the beginning, it was before Brother Chen'er was born, that is, before she gave birth to a son.

Those days were the darkest in the first half of her life.

Not to mention anything else, when how many people openly and secretly laughed at her for being a "hen that doesn't lay eggs", as one of the few people who had never said such gossip, Mai Chen, could Jia Min not remember the other party's goodness?

Later, there was another incident where someone outside bribed the nurse to poison Brother Chen, and the husband was angry and fought back to rectify it, Jia Min clapped her hands and said that she also guessed that no one would use the so-called "friendship" to plead with her.

Unexpectedly, the few people who could talk to her didn't move much until the end. For such an informed and interesting person, her good impression naturally increased a little more.

In addition, her husband had nothing to say about her contact with those people, including Mai Chen's, which made her more relieved.

- Thinking of this, Jia Min was a little ashamed.

She has been out with her husband for so many years, not to mention finding three or two handkerchiefs, and even the communication between the eunuchs and the ladies...... I'm so tired!

Just like the Lin family's affairs at the beginning, no matter how Jia Min thinks about it now, she can't remember why she would make such a big mistake! Helplessly, she has to blame it on "being careless."

Fortunately, this matter is different from the clan incident, and the nature is different. The latter is facing being taken home by Hugh! The former is only being broken by outsiders, and she is just out of place.

...... The official rank of her husband is rarely suppressed in the territory of Yangzhou City, and it is normal to be "unsociable".

- It's just that in the future, she will have to pick it up again. Jia Min secretly wondered. And this prefect's wife, Mai Chen, is also one of her "breakthroughs".

Therefore, from the time the baby son knew about the situation of the eldest girl, to the discovery that the identity of the girl was in doubt, she would personally go to the door to "say hello" to Mai Chen, and ask him to remind the prefect that he must strictly investigate - first, she really pities the eldest girl, and second, to open up the situation - whether the prefect's wife is true or false, in short, she must start to have contacts in order to communicate with each other and maintain feelings.

Speaking of big girls...... This Mai Chen's sudden visit, isn't it because of the progress made by the eldest girl?! Jia Min counts the days, and it will only be seven or eight days to leave her...... What can you discover in a few days?

Puzzled, Jia Min didn't continue to speculate, but only ordered someone to reply to the post.

The next day, as Jia Min expected, Mai Chen's family really brought the eldest girl to the Lin Mansion.

Welcoming people into the flower hall and sitting down, Jia Min said, "If there is something to make the mother-in-law come over and say something, why do you need to come over?"

Mai Chen replied: "My sister has heard about the fragrance of tea at my sister's house, I didn't have a chance in the past, but now I have it, even if I look at my face, my sister has to come and taste it!"

When Jia Min heard this, he smiled and said to Yueliu: "Can you hear it, why don't you hurry up and hand the boiling tea to our prefect's wife?"

After the maid brought the hot tea, Mai Chen really took a sip and sighed: "It's really fragrant." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Min even laughed.

Then Jia Min and Mai Chen exchanged a few more words, and the former took the hand of the big girl who had been staying by Mai Chen's side, smiling and not humming, and praised him:

"Is this our eldest girl? Or does my sister know how to raise people, it's only been a few days, and this baby is getting more and more lovely. ”

- Jia Min's words are really not all polite words.

The eldest girl is already very good-looking, but she has not been damaged by all kinds of trials and tribulations in the past year, let alone after being pampered for so many days?

In addition, I don't know if I left the tiger wolf's den, or if I knew that I had the opportunity to find the relationship between my biological parents, and the eldest girl's mood changed slightly. Although it is not obvious, others look at it and feel that this girl is obviously full of energy.

In addition, the eldest girl was led into the prefect's mansion by Mai Chen's family and lived, and overnight she changed from a poor baby who was abducted to a delicate guest of the prefect's family.

This kind of sudden wealth and wealth, if it is an adult, may be dazzled, let alone such a young child.

Unexpectedly, the eldest girl is still neither humble nor arrogant, well-behaved and obedient, as if the current environment is no different from the past.

- How can such a child not let Jia Min look at it a few points?

Mai Chen heard Jia Min praise the eldest girl, as if he was happier than hearing others praise him. She said:

"Where is the credit of my sister? It's because our eldest girl was born well-sister, you know, the two demon kings in my sister's family, they tease chickens and dogs every day, so that there is no moment of peace in the family! My sister has always wanted a girl, but unfortunately the belly is not angry-now that there is a big girl, my sister can be regarded as getting what she wants. ”

After speaking, Mai Chen also touched the braids on the big girl's head, which made the latter blush and lower his head.

Jia Min didn't care whether this was true or not, and just smiled and echoed and joked on the side.

"Speaking of which," Mai Chen suddenly said as if he remembered something, "Big girl, this kid, knows a lot of words—like the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", and now they can still be memorized. ”

"That's amazing. Jia Min narrowed his eyes when he heard this, praising him on his lips, but his heart was like a mirror.

She could see that the meaning of Mai Chen's words was not as simple as "the big girl is literate".

- This literacy is not difficult for people like them, but it is not easy for the poor.

She had heard that in ordinary poor families, the family did their best to provide for the son who had the best chance to take the imperial examination...... People like this, how can they have the margin to call the girl a classmate?

- So, from this point alone, it can be confirmed that the eldest girl, this child, is at least not the daughter of a poor family. Even, with the appearance and demeanor of the eldest girl, it is not too much to say which official family it is from. ——

No matter how much speculation Jia Min had in his heart, his face was still not half visible. She turned to the topic on the side, and after gossiping for a while, she saw Mak Chen's glance at her. So, as if she suddenly noticed that something was wrong, she looked at the eldest girl apologetically and said:

"Look at me, patronizing myself - you kid is here to listen to us talk about this, you must be bored. ”

The eldest girl hurriedly shook her head and denied it, but Jia Min ignored it and said to herself: "You kid, why are you so polite......? Now that your brothers and sisters are gathered together, go with them and play with them. ”

- It is said that "men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven", but the eldest girl looks only six years old, and the eldest child of the Lin family is only in his early three years, so there is no obstacle to playing together. ——

When the eldest girl heard Jia Min say this, she asked, "...... Is the little brother there?"

Jia Min was stunned before he realized who the child in front of him was asking. She smiled lightly and said, "Your great-brother is also here—he just asked me about you a while ago." ”

The eldest girl heard that the relatively familiar people were also there, and she was obviously more moved. However, she didn't agree immediately, but looked at the prefect's wife first, and when she saw that the other party nodded, Fang shyly agreed.

Seeing this, Jia Min hurriedly summoned the second-class maid Liushu and asked him to take the eldest girl to Lin Xuan's side, and pointed out a little maid to report first.

Don't mention how to lead people over after Liushu received his life. It was only said that the little maid walked quickly to the wing where Lin Xuan was, and at this time Lin Xuan and his younger siblings gathered together to play, and their respective nurses and maids were sitting or standing in a room.

Hearing the little maid say that a little guest was coming to see Lin Xuan, everyone in the room immediately reacted differently.

And before the others could figure out how to speak, they saw Yuemian, who was now demoted to the second class, pretending to be inadvertent, glanced at Liuyun who was sitting opposite her, and deliberately said to Lin Xuan's nurse:

"Speaking of which, Sister Liuyun should be a good sister who hasn't seen her in the past for a long time - it just so happens that this time Sister Liushu comes over, Mama Wang, you can raise your hand, so that the two sisters can kiss each other. ”

Liuyun didn't seem to hear the hidden edge in Yuemian's words, she just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, his face sank suddenly.

It's Mama Wang Chunxue, and I don't know if I really didn't notice the sparks between the maids, or if I didn't care about it. She even seriously considered the "Jianyì" of Yuemian, then nodded, and said to the big and small maids in the house:

"That's fine. Uncle Hengzhu and they just stay in the house, and they don't need so many people to serve at once, so it's okay for a few of you to go away. It's just that you can't go far—or you won't be able to call someone later, so be careful of your skins!"

The maids, including Liuyun, were all happy after hearing this. Only Yuemian, with a tense face, didn't know what to think.

- How about Mama's maid's side, Lin Xuan's side is completely unbothered.

He has a system, and he has been secretly paying attention to it as early as when the prefect's wife came over with the eldest girl.

- Speaking of the big girl, in fact, he has been thinking about the day when he can see each other again.

Ahem, of course! It's definitely not because of "love at first sight" or anything like that!

...... The little sister is only a few years old, he is a serious person, but he is not one of those Lo Li Kong!
