Satin'er said embarrassedly: "It's really hard to say." Although she learned a few words from the big girl Yunjin, she really didn't know how to describe Ji Cheng if she wanted to use words to describe Ji Cheng.

"Then what kind of flower do you say Miss Ji looks like? Lotus? Juan'er asked reluctantly.

"Like, not like." Sain said, "Miss Ji has a little bit of lotus purity, but she is a little more enchanting." ”

"What's enchanting?" Juan'er didn't understand, "Miss Ji doesn't seem to be a frivolous person. ”

"Oops, where did I say that Miss Ji was frivolous, I said her, oops, I can't say it well, I just think that this Miss Ji makes you want to see it, and I can't help but want to peek at her." Satin.

"Yes, yes, yes." Juan'er seemed to have found a soulmate, "I kept peeking at her just now." ”

At the end of the discussion, the two girls didn't use any flowers to compare Ji Cheng with the consensus on the above, in the end, she seemed to be more vivid than flowers, and no flower could sum her up.

Let's say that Ji Cheng sat in the side hall for a while, inadvertently looked at the surrounding furnishings, and drank up the almond dew, indeed as the little girl said, it was very sweet and delicious, and the entrance was smooth and smooth, it was the hibiscus cake, she also tasted it, and the flowers were in the breast, which was very fragrant.

The best thing is that these things are very exquisite, unlike the Ji family, which only stays in the pursuit of taste, just be delicious, just look good, just look good, anyway, they all have to be imported.

At the end, Ji Cheng picked up the teacup and swept around, and the little girl Juan'er came over with a carved lacquer spoon, Ji Cheng thanked him, rinsed his mouth with tea, spit it out into the carved lacquer bowl next to him, and took a small piece of mint incense pill from his sleeve purse and put it in his mouth.

As soon as she finished doing these things, the spring cicada girl walked in, "Miss Ji, the old lady has asked about you, please come with me." ”

When Ji Cheng entered the main hall of Rui Yingtang, there were already people sitting or standing in half of the room, and on a short couch in the middle sat an old lady wearing an embroidered robe of the Eight Immortals on the red ground, wearing a sauce-colored dark pattern on her forehead, and a piece of Hetian jade with a thumb in the middle, and silver threads had already appeared in her hair, but her spirit was very strong. Old Madam Shen had a silver moon face, which was both kind and kind.

There was also an old lady sitting next to Mrs. Shen, wearing a robe with a five-grain harvest pattern that had only emerged in the south in the past two years, and she was about the same old lady who came to Suzhou in the south, and she was almost full of silver threads.

Ji Lan was sitting on the third chair on the left hand of the old lady at this time, and in front of her was a round-faced lady in her forties, born white and fat, very blessed, and at first glance she was a pampered figure, wearing a purple ground three-pattern brocade robe, embroidered with bats, longevity peaches and coins, so it was called three-patterned. With a jade ring on his hand, Ji Cheng could see at a glance that the color of the jadeite was very rare, and it was difficult to find such a good texture of jadeite in the past ten years.

Ji Cheng thought about it, this is probably the second lady Huang who was born in Ji Lan's mouth. The last time Ji Cheng came to live in the Shen Mansion, this Mrs. Huang was sick, and she didn't see it.

There were also people sitting on the right hand side of Old Madam Shen, all of whom were girls of the younger generation, and Shen Cui was among them.

And the first person on the right is a very petite and delicate woman, but she was born so bright and beautiful, so that people can't take their eyes off when they see it, and sigh that there are such beautiful women in the world.

Of course, these people Ji Cheng just swept with his afterglow, and he didn't have much time to look at them.

"The third family, this is your niece's daughter, called Cheng girl, right?" Old Lady Shen smiled and said to Ji Cheng: "Come closer and let me see, the old woman is old and her eyes are spent." ”

Ji Cheng took a few steps forward in response, and the old lady took her hand, stood beside the old lady, and said, "Ah Cheng asks the ancestor for peace." ”

"Okay, okay." The old lady patted the back of Ji Cheng's hand, her eyes crooked with a smile. Mrs. Shen was very strict with her three sons when she was young, but when she was old, she loved her grandchildren very much, especially girls, whether they were her own or not.

"Just now the old ancestor also said that he is old and can't remember things, I see that your old man's memory is better than our young people, Ah Cheng came back three years ago, and I saw your old man, it's hard for you to remember the name of this girl." Ji Lan said with a smile.

The old lady smiled: "I can't remember anything else, but this girl is really good, I remember it at a glance." At that time, I thought that this girl didn't know how neat she should be when she grew up, but now that I see it, it's better than I imagined, look at how delicate this look, if it weren't for the length of her body, she would be more like a southerner than us southerners. At that time, I asked you, why didn't you see Cheng girl come to my house again, but you said that she went back to Jindi, and I sighed for a while. ”

"Not really. This time Ah Cheng came to celebrate your old man's birthday, I specially left her to live for a long time, the ancestor you want to see as long as you want, who in the family does not know that your old man likes beautiful little girls the most? Ji Lan smiled.

"Yes, yes, the old lady just can't wait to bring all the beautiful little girls in the capital to live in our house." Huang also replied, and everyone laughed.

"Is it a decades-old mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or do you know me." The old lady herself laughed, "When I saw them, I remembered when I was young, and there were times when I was like this." ”

Everyone laughed.

At this time, a girl had already put the futon in front of the old lady, Ji Cheng took two steps, slightly lifted the skirt and knelt down, and said: "Ji Cheng pays birthday to the ancestors, and wishes the ancestors blessings such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, always open a smile, and enjoy the family forever." ”

"Okay, okay." Yun Jin, the big girl next to the old lady who looked like she was about twenty, handed a red envelope to the old lady, and the old lady handed it to Ji Cheng herself.

Ji Cheng thanked her, and the old lady took her hand and asked two or three more words, and asked her to go and salute the old lady Su who came from the south.

Mrs. Su gave Ji Cheng a box of twelve glass hairpins as a meeting gift, and then took her hand and said to Mrs. Shen next to her: "It's really good, it's better to compare our sister Yun." "What Mrs. Su said is also the truth, until now, she has only seen that Ji Cheng's appearance can be compared with Su Yun, but Su Yun's body is not as tall as Ji Cheng, and she looks exquisite, but on the whole, she is not as eye-catching as Ji Cheng.

"I think both of them are fine." The old lady laughed.

Next, Ji Cheng greeted Huang again.

"Since you will be a permanent resident in the future, our ancestors and grandchildren will also have time to talk in the future, so you can get to know your sisters first, and you will be close in the future. Juniors, don't stay here, let's go to the back and hug the building. The old lady said.

Ji Cheng answered, Su Yun on the right, and several girls from the Shen family all stood up and went to Baoxia together.

The eldest of the girls in the Shen family who has not yet married is the third girl, Shen Qian (Yuan), she is the concubine of Uncle Zhongyi, she is sixteen years old this year, and the family affairs have been decided, and she will be out of the cabinet next year.

Shen Qian was the oldest among everyone, so she naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of her sisters, first asking everyone to sit down, and then introducing Su Yun and the sisters in the family to Ji Cheng, the newcomer.

"This is Su Yun's sister, you have seen it before, it is the granddaughter of your cousin, you seem to be the same age, but I don't know who is older and who is younger." Shen Qian said to Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng reported to Su Yun the year of his birth, and it was very coincidental that Su Yun was only one day older than her, so one became Sister Yun, and the other became Sister Cheng.

The fourth girl, Shen Wei, is also fifteen this year, but she is a few months younger than Su Yun and Ji Cheng, she is the daughter of Princess Anhe, and she was named the county lord at birth.

And the sixth and seventh girls of the Shen family have already died.

As for the eighth girl, Shen Zhi is too young, she is only eight years old this year, she is not in Rui Yingtang at this time, and after saying goodbye in the morning, she was taken back to the yard by the nurse to play.

After the introduction for a while, somehow it suddenly became cold.

Su Yun smiled, "Sister Qian, I often hear my grandmother talk about the female school in your house in Suzhou, and the female gentlemen invited are the most knowledgeable in our Daqin." Now when I see all my sisters and sisters, they are all people with poems and books, and they have a noble bearing, which makes people forget the vulgar at first sight, and it is indeed a rumor. ”

Su Yun's compliments are to the point, the people of the Shen family are beautiful, if they are praised for their neat appearance, they are used to hearing it, so several girls like others to see the connotation and upbringing under their skins through their beauty.

And the Shen family in the raising of girls, also really took a lot of painstaking work, the Shen family's girls in the capital has an excellent reputation, usually a family with a hundred families to beg, is the second girl in front, although it is a concubine, but the people who come to ask for relatives are about to break the threshold.

Shen Qian smiled and said: "Sister Yun has praised it falsely, the knowledge of several gentlemen is indeed profound and broad, and their conduct is also good, but even if they come by themselves, they don't dare to be the most learned people in Daqin." I heard my cousin say just now, this time you plan to live in Beijing for a while, if my sister is interested, tell my ancestors, but you can be a companion with us in the school. ”

"That's not what you want." Su Yun smiled, her smile was very bright, her teeth were white, and her smile was so bright and moving that she couldn't open her eyes.

The fourth girl on the side said happily: "That's great, some time ago, there were only three of us sisters in the school, and the eighth sister was not with us when she was young, so she was not sad." If Sister Yun comes, let's have fun in one place. ”

Shen Qian smiled and said: "You know how to play all day long, before Sister He was out of the cabinet, your boss helped you do the homework assigned by the master, and now seeing that your sister Yun is here, is it wishful thinking again?" ”

"No, no, absolutely not." Shen Wei shook his hands anxiously, "I don't dare anymore, I was known by the second brother last time, he trained me half to death, and the elders in the family always had to say something when they saw me, and my ears were calloused, but I didn't dare anymore." ”

"Does the second brother also train? I heard that when he was a child, he often asked his eldest brother to help him with his homework. Shen Cui said.

"Who said it wasn't, he just allowed the governor to set fire to the people and didn't allow the people to light the lamp, and he could hide those things from my mother, hum, see if I don't sue him next time." Shen Wei said angrily.

"You dare to sue the second brother?" Shen Qian pursed her lips and smiled, obviously not believing it.

Shen Wei immediately deflated, "I'll just say it." ”

Su Yun said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a matter of finding someone to do homework, sometimes Mr. assigns too much homework, and you can only stay up late to finish it, which hurts your eyes and your spirit." There are times when I can't finish it. ”

"Does my sister go to school in the south?" Shen Wei immediately asked excitedly, "Oh, look at what I asked, your Su family will definitely invite a gentleman for a girl, the ancestor used to talk about her when she was a child." What should you do if you can't finish your homework, Sister Yun? ”

Su Yun said: "I told the master the truth, and she didn't punish me, knowing that I was doing it with my heart." ”

Shen Wei stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully: "I don't dare, my sister is really courageous." If you can't finish your homework, your husband will tell us to go back and come back when we're done, and I can't afford to lose that face. ”

Under Su Yun's intentional entertainment, Shen Qian, Shen Wei and her, there were almost endless words, laughing and trembling, Shen Cui occasionally interjected, but if he couldn't say two sentences, the three of them became a mess of their own again.

Shen Cui didn't like it very much in her heart, she didn't like Su Yun's beauty originally, but now she felt that she was looking down on herself, and she only met Shen Qian and Shen Wei one by one. are all girls from the Shen family, isn't it because their father is not angry, and their mother is from a businessman?

In fact, it was really Shen Cui who drilled the horns of the bull himself. Even if Su Yun really had the heart of welcoming and discriminating, she would not be so obvious, not to mention that they were all girls from the Shen family, if she looked down on Shen Cui, Shen Qian and Shen Wei might not feel happy, but would look down on her temperament.

It's just that Shen Cui has some inferiority complex, so that her self-esteem is extremely strong, and the few words she inserted were all for Shen Qian and Shen Wei, and she didn't take the initiative to talk to Su Yun, just waiting for Su Yun to slap her.

But Su Yun is also from a famous girl, and seeing that Shen Cui has a cold face towards her, she is naturally unwilling to come to her aggrievedly, which is why there is such a misunderstanding.

Shen Cui felt that Su Yun looked down on her anyway, and then looked at Ji Cheng, she almost didn't say a word, but she obviously listened very carefully, sometimes smiling, sometimes nodding, and didn't seem to realize that she was being snubbed and despised at all.

Shen Cui thought to himself, this can't be a stupid hat, right? I couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for Ji Cheng, feeling that she was in the same camp as herself, so she said: "Sister Cheng, I heard my mother say this morning that you want to live in my parents, and you will also go to the school to be my companion, right?" ”

When she arrived at Shen Cui, Ji Cheng became a companion for her.

"Yes, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to study with Mr. Lian again." Ji Cheng said.

"How do you know about Mr. Lian?" Shen Cui said in surprise: "My mother sued you? Hey, no, what do you mean by following Mr. Lian again? ”
