The eldest lady then came in, and at a glance she saw Jin Xin standing up, her eyes were deep and a little awe-inspiring.

The old lady said, "Here we are." ”

The eldest lady said: "Yes, I heard that the five girls are back, so I came over to take a look." ”

The old lady nodded: "Well, sit down." ”

The Grand Lady sat down on the side.

Jin Xin looked at the eldest lady, walked over, and blessed her body: "Auntie." ”

The eldest lady looked at her, there was no warmth in her eyes, but the old lady was here, and she couldn't put on any face, so she said, "Hmm"

sounded, and asked again: "On the road, a qiē is still smooth, right?" ”

"It's all right. The General's Mansion specially sent someone to send us over, and there were no twists and turns on the way. ”

"That's good. Shanyuan told me everything about your affairs in the General's Mansion in the letter, and I also knew that since things have developed to this point, don't think about him anymore, and then, fortunately, I still have a few better people left, and when the time comes, I will consider it and help you choose a suitable family. ”

"What's the tone of your voice!"

Before the eldest lady's words fell, the old lady first scolded unhappily.

"Mother's ......"

"What is your mother, you listened to what I told you, do you still treat me as a mother!"

The old lady's good mood just now disappeared because of the eldest lady's words, and she stared at the eldest lady with a straight face: "Do you think that when I am old and useless, I really don't know anything?" Why did he want to give Yu Shangqi a concubine in the general's mansion, no one knows how many women have been selected in the past two years, but a general's mansion is like the emperor's draft, and there are thousands of choices! This was originally someone else's business, and I, an old woman, didn't bother to bother to pay attention to it, but now the problem is that people chose my granddaughter. If the others are fine, they are still a little famous outside, but what is the matter with the five girls? A few people know him, how could he think of my five girls here in the General's Mansion in Kyoto, stretch out his hand so long, and come here to ask for five girls? Others don't know, what's the matter, don't you know that you, the eldest aunt, don't you know! ”

The old lady's tone was stern, and her words were forceful, and the eldest lady's face changed and she was a little at a loss.

The eldest lady lowered her head, and secretly regretted it in her heart, she actually received a letter from Jin Shanyuan from Kyoto only two days ago, mainly because she understood what Jin Xin was doing over there, but she didn't expect her to have the means to disrupt their painstaking plan, and she was so angry in her heart.

The old lady glared at her, and then said: "This matter, the dignified general's mansion, even if it is for others, dare to treat our Jin family, why, they are military generals, they are amazing, so they don't take our Jin family seriously?" Where are we inferior to them? Dare to look at us like this, married one of my granddaughters, that was also the first time they took the initiative to beg to marry away, now because Shanyuan has not conceived a child, they can't look down on people, and they want to find someone to add Ding, looking for our Jin family's girl, who took a fancy to someone and sent it, now, as soon as I know that I may not be able to have children, I don't want it again! What does he think of our Jin family, the girl of the Jin family is at his disposal, don't you want it! ”

When the old lady mentioned this, she became more and more angry.

The eldest lady listened to it there, her heart jumped, Yuecheng was so far away, she only knew the inside story through the letter of Guò Jin Shanyuan two days ago, where did this old lady know?

I always thought that the old lady didn't care about things now, and she didn't know many things, but I didn't expect that this old lady's ears were better than any of them!

Jin Xin was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the old lady to know.

So, does this also mean that the old lady also knows about her starting a business in Moon City?

The old lady didn't care about their surprise, and looked at the eldest lady again: "You too, the eldest lady of the dignified Jin family, the entire Jin family is under your control, you should be more stable and know how to measure than others, look at what you have done!" This is for his own selfish interests, losing the face of the entire Golden Mansion! ”

The last sentence can be said to be eloquent.

The eldest lady woke up and hurriedly lowered her head.

"I didn't agree to let the five girls marry at the time, what about you, blindly have to marry people, now it's good, people don't want her, you don't say that other people are not, but blame the five girls, you look at what you said, what is called not to do more to think about him, what is called just a few better ones left at hand, what is it called to pick and choose to see that it is more suitable to marry? Heh, does this mean that you want to deal with people casually and send them out? ”

"Mother, no......"

"I'm not dead yet!"

The old lady raised her tone and stood up, her expression was very excited, her body was trembling, and she pointed to the eldest lady tremblingly: "You obviously know that I feel the most sorry for the five girls, she has no father and no mother's love since she was a child, and she has no brothers and sisters, how pitiful, you are the eldest aunt, it doesn't matter if you don't save a few more points, you still treat her like this, can you get by on conscience!" You're deliberately mad at me, you! ”

Jin Xin watched the old lady become more and more excited, his heart tightened, he hurriedly went up and held on, "Grandmother, grandmother, calm down......"

Jin Wan'er on the side also hurriedly held the old lady's other hand: "Yes, grandmother, don't be too angry......"

Luan Ming hurriedly helped the old lady in the back.

However, the old lady was really too excited, and before she could say anything, she felt something buzzing straight to her head, and with a stumbling footstep, the whole person fell backwards uncontrollably.

"Grandmother!"

Jin Xin exclaimed, and hurriedly helped with a few other people.

The eldest lady was below, and she was stunned.

A room full of maids and daughters-in-law were all in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Jin Xin was still relatively calm, and while letting people help the old lady lie down, he instructed his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and call the doctor!" ”

Immediately, a maid ran to inform the little maid outside, and when the little maid heard this, she hurriedly ran to find the doctor.

* The old lady is the highest ranking person in the entire Jin Mansion, and her illness immediately affected the hearts of the whole Mansion, and the eldest lady rushed back from outside for the first time, and several sons also heard the news and returned home.

The best doctor in Jiangnan was invited over and checked the old lady's pulse inside.

The doctor said: "The old lady is in a hurry, her liver is too hot, and she didn't have a mouthful of phlegm at that time, so she fainted." ”

Uncle Jin Kexing had already heard the ins and outs of the matter, listened to the doctor's words, turned his head, and slapped the eldest lady with a reproachful gaze.

The eldest lady stood there, feeling her husband's gaze, and she didn't feel very good in her heart.

Since marrying into the Jin family, she has been asking herself for many years, but she didn't expect that at this juncture today, there would be such a mistake.

Why didn't you control your feelings at that time?

The eldest lady also regretted not being at the beginning.

The doctor prescribed the medicine, gave a few words, and left.

Jin Kexing asked the little guy to follow the doctor and go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

Jin Kexing said: "Okay, the old lady is okay for the time being, everyone should not gather here to affect her rest, everyone should go back." ”

Jin Xin said: "Uncle, I stayed here to take care of my grandmother. ”

Jin Buxing said: "Didn't you just come back from a long journey outside? Just have a good rest, the old lady has Luan Ming to take care of, and she will be fine. ”

On one side, the eldest lady said, "I'll take care of the old lady." ”

Jin Kexing glanced at her.

"The reason why the old lady fell ill this time is also because of me, so let me take care of her."

Luan Ming said: "Big lady, it's better to let me take care of the old lady." The old lady is angry this time, and I don't know if she has eased up, if she wakes up and sees you, she hasn't lost her anger yet, and she will be angry again or something, it's not good, right? ”

Luan Ming is a talker, but when he says this, he listens to it, and it is strange that it embarrasses the eldest lady, but it is a fact, and it is not easy to refute.

To be honest, Luan Ming has already said it very tactfully.

Jin Kexing said: "Okay, just according to what Luan Ming said, everyone should go back for the time being, and let Luan Ming take care of the old lady." ”

When the eldest man spoke, everyone naturally didn't say anything more, and went back obediently.

Jin Xin and Jin Wan'er went back together.

Jin Wan'er said: "Growing up so big, grandmother has always been amiable in my impression, it's the first time I've seen her so angry, fifth sister, it seems that grandmother really loves you." ”

Jin Xin didn't speak, in fact, the old lady seemed to be angry with her, it must be Cheng Dù, it's not that the eldest lady has gone too far.

This time it is indeed strange and ugly, after all, it is related to the face of the Jin family, if it accidentally reaches the ears of outsiders, which one of them is more talkative and more vinegary, the face of the entire Jin family outside will not be able to hang up.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, it is no wonder that the old lady is angry.

"Fifth sister, is what my grandmother said true? Is Mrs. Rain in the General's Mansion playing this abacus? ”

"You're still young, what do you want to do with these things."

Jin Wan'er was stunned.

"What's the matter, looking at me like that?"

"Fifth sister, it's the first time you've spoken to me like a big sister."

"Really?"

Jin Xin was unexpected.

However, think about it, Jin Xin's personality in the past seemed to be very cowardly, and she was also very inferior, and she almost didn't have the courage to raise her head and speak with her chest up, even if she was the same concubine with Jin Wan'er, no matter how good the relationship was, after all, the situation was still worse than Jin Wan'er, and in the face of such a person, the psychological gap probably wouldn't give her the courage to claim to be a big sister, right?

When I think of this, I am relieved.

She looked at Jin Wan'er: "Well, I went to Moon City, I grew up." ”

Jin Wan'er smiled: "Really? Anyway, that's good. ”

* The old lady was sick for several days, and on the fifth day, she got better.

During her illness, the eldest lady went the most often, mainly because she was sorry, she was the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, and her mother-in-law fell ill because of her anger, which was a great sin.

What's more, Jin Kexing also blamed her for not giving her a good face in the past two days.

Either way, she was on the wrong side, and she only begged the old lady to forgive her.

The old lady sat on the bed and drank the medicine, and the eldest lady stood there, watched, and said: "Mother, this time the incident is that I was dizzy, did something wrong, and made my mother so angry that she fell ill, which is really excessive, and I hope that my mother will punish me." ”

For the first time in a few days, the old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at her, but did not speak.

The eldest lady continued: "Mother, I have thought about the matter of the five girls, she is also strange and pitiful, as her eldest aunt, no matter what, she should be treated as her own daughter, and then, I must find a good in-law for her, and when the time comes, I will bring the favored family to my mother first, and my mother thinks it is okay, so I can." ”

The old lady raised her head and drank all the medicine, took the towel handed over by Luan Ming, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "You don't care about the affairs of the five girls." ”

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, "Is my mother worried that I am not satisfied?" ”

"You don't dare to be unreasonable in the future."

The old lady leaned on the bed and looked at her: "I've thought about it these days, the five girls are not ordinary girls, she is old enough now, and many things have been able to make her own decisions. ”

"Mother—"

The eldest lady was taken aback, and wanted to say something, but was forced to swallow back by the old lady's look.

The old lady said, "This is also what the five girls themselves meant. She has her own plans, although the girl's family, in the end, she still has to find a good home, and living a stable and smooth life is the most important thing, but I don't think the five girls are like those soft and weak ordinary women, more manly, very have their own ideas, I am old, young people's things, may not do the right thing, simply let her go. Those of you who are elders, don't interfere with her too much, just back her up, and if there is anything bad in the future, you will help her in the back, and don't let her suffer. ”

When the eldest lady listened to the old lady's words, she always felt that there was something else in her words, and she was about to ask carefully, but the old lady suddenly waved her hand: "Okay, I'm also tired, you can go back first." ”

Seeing this, the eldest lady had no choice but to take her leave.

Anyway, the old lady is finally willing to talk to her, which can be regarded as forgiving her, isn't it?

As for Jin Xin, the eldest lady's eyes were shining, and she was secretive.

* A few days later, Jin Xin came to see the old lady.

The old lady leaned on the big pillow on the side, looked at Jin Xin who was sitting in front of her, and said, "Did you mean that you said that you would be a businessman like your father?" ”

"Yes, grandmother."

"Even if everyone stops you, you're going to do it?"

"Yes. Grandmother. ”

Jin Xin nodded and looked at the old lady: "I really like it, and when I was not sensible, I didn't have a father, I never saw my father, and I don't know what kind of person my father is, this time I went to Yuecheng, visited the shop opened by my father, and I also heard a lot of stories about my father directly and indirectly, I didn't expect my father to be such an outstanding person in everyone's eyes, grandmother, those businesses are the only things my father left me, with them, I feel as if my father is by my side." I don't want to put them in a wooden box, as if they were preserved like antiquities, and I want to really feel them. ”

"So, you want to do business."

"Yes."

The old lady did not speak.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jin Xin suddenly got up from her seat and knelt down: "Grandmother, grandmother has always hurt me, this time, can't you hurt me too?" ”

"You're a girl."

"Who says girls can't do what boys do? Since ancient times, there have been many daughters who have done things that only men can do well, and they are even better than men, aren't they? is like our Yueyin's first female general, Yu Ku Nu, isn't she just a daughter's family? However, she joined the army, and the woman did not let her become a general, and then look at what she did, how many men can reach it? There are also doctors, you see that in this world, which female doctor is not despised, but, in history, there are not many outstanding female doctors? Their medical skills are almost unmatched. ”

Jin Xin's words were earnest, and the sparkle in his eyes was shining, hiding the surging desire.

The old lady looked at her for a long time, and her heart was a little shaken.

The old lady said, "You look like your father now." ”

"My dad?"

"Back then, when the second master wanted to abandon literature and engage in business, the old lady disagreed, so he knelt in front of the old lady and said something similar to what you just said, he cited many people who did not follow the official career but could also help the society through the ages. He thinks he can do it too, and I hope we can embrace his ideas and support him. ”

Jin Xin was stunned.

"In the end, grandfather agreed?"

"Hehe, how could such a stubborn person agree? He decided that the second master was talking nonsense, and he didn't bother to listen to it at all. ”

The old lady laughed twice.

Jin Xin was stunned, and then smiled: "Despite this, Dad still did what he wanted." ”

"yes."

The old lady nodded with emotion: "In the end, I still did what I wanted, just like he said at the time, even if everyone blocked him, he would still do it if he wanted to, and he would definitely do it." As it turned out, he did it all, and he did it. ”

The old lady looked at Jin Xin: "So, since you are the daughter of the second master, and you said almost exactly the same thing as him, think about it, you will do it like the second master, right?" ”

Jin Xin smiled: "Grandmother turned out to be prescient. ”

Seeing her confident answer, the old lady was stunned and said, "If it were the past, you would never be able to say such a thing." ”

"Grandmother, I'm not what I used to be."

After a pause, Jin Xin continued: "This Jin Xin is not Jin Xin. ”

The old lady looked at her, her eyebrows were crooked, and she smiled: "Yes, it's not what it used to be." ”

"So, Grandmother, you agreed, okay?"

"Does it matter if I agree or not? Doesn't it mean that you will do it whether you agree or not? ”

The old lady said.

Jin Xin blinked his eyes, and then laughed happily and kowtowed: "Thank you, grandmother!" ”

The old lady looked at her thoughtfully: "If you want to thank the second master, to be honest, I came from you for the sake of his face." Because you are so similar to him, if you were someone else, don't even think about it. ”

"Grandmother, I'll do it well!"

"Hmm. Do it well. But promise me one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"After three years, you have to get married."

After three years, do I have to get married?

Jin Xin knows that this is the old lady's condition, counting, it is already the old lady's biggest concession, in such an era, her idea is very unbelievable in the eyes of the world, and even feels a little crazy, but the old lady actually agreed, connived, this is already a lot of difficulty, if the old lady is unwilling, then, it is likely that she Jin Xin can not do anything.

That's why she came to tell the old lady about it very consciously.

Everyone has given in so much, how can she get another inch?

Besides, in three years, who knows what will be?

Maybe at that time, she would have returned to modern times, or, if she didn't go back, in three years, maybe she would have full wings and could have autonomy.

She is willing to think optimistically, and she is confident to move in an optimistic direction.

So, after thinking about it, she agreed.

When she went back, she told Ziqin about it, and Ziqin was surprised: "Agreed!" No, the old lady would agree! ”

"yes, I'm a little surprised. Either way, it's good to agree. ”

Jin Xin said with a smile.

Ziqin's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say.

Jin Xin smiled: "It's the first time I've seen you like this." ”

Yes, Ziqin on weekdays, how stable she is, I have never seen it like today.

Jin Xin said again: "Okay, that's the way it is, so, starting tomorrow, we will be very busy." ”

Ziqin was pulled back to her senses by her words, since she was in Yueyin, after following Jin Xin to deal with some things, Ziqin gradually became addicted, and felt that these things were quite interesting to do, at least, it was much more interesting than always being a female celebrity in the house on weekdays.

After coming back, life gradually returned to its original state, and it was still very unaccustomed to it for a while, Ziqin didn't say it on the face, but secretly missed the busy days in Moon City several times in private.

Therefore, now that she heard Jin Xin say that she was going to be busy next, after comprehending it, she was eager to try a little excited, and she asked with a smile: "Then, miss, where are you going to start?" ”

"Although Dad's business is mainly distributed in Yuecheng and our Jiangnan area, Yuecheng has handled it almost well, and now with Brother Liu to help us watch, there will be no problem, I think, in the next year or two, we will concentrate on the business in this area of Jiangnan."

"So, how?"

"First of all, we have to go for a walk, look at the situation, understand the current situation, and grasp the overall situation, so that we can analyze the specific problems in detail. Before that, though, there's a more important question. ”

"What's the problem?"

"We've got to get a couple of men's clothes ready first. There will be a lot of inconvenience for my daughter's family to go out to do business, and in the future, when we go out, we will all dress up as men, and as for the name, we will say that we are doing things for the fifth lady of the Jin family. ”
