Aunt Zhang, who was sitting opposite, was brought in by the third old man at the beginning of this year, and she was the youngest among several aunts, she looked very young, the skin on her face was very good, and the powder was not thick, looking at it, it was quite lovely.

She seemed to be very interested in Jin Xin, and a pair of eyes kept looking at Jin Xin, and asked, "How old is Miss Fifth this year?" ”

Jin Xin said: "Twenty." ”

"Twenty?"

Aunt Zhang was slightly surprised and said, "I really can't see it!" ”

Then, he asked, "Is the marriage decided?" ”

Jin Xin's visit this time was to inquire about the news of the marriage, and she was thinking about how to lead to that topic, but Aunt Zhang helped her.

She smiled embarrassedly, shook her head, and said, "Not yet." ”

"Why, there is no suitable person for such an outstanding talent as Miss Five?"

Aunt Zhang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly turned her head to look at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady listened, her face was silent, and she only said: "The old lady is also in a hurry, let's hurry up and help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, but there are several family choices, which have not yet been decided, and are being discussed." ”

Jin Xin listened, this is not the same as what Jin Wan'er said.

She couldn't help frowning almost invisibly, Jin Wan'er wouldn't lie to her, so there was only one possibility, these two ladies had something to hide from her.

What is the purpose of hiding it like this and quietly planning her marriage?

Aunt Zhang then asked which ones there were, and the eldest lady said them one by one.

Mrs. Zhang listened, nodded, looked at Jin Xin again, and said, "The sons of several families have good character. You won't be wronged if you marry in the past. ”

Jin Xin smiled and didn't answer, but her mind was still spinning in the suspicion just now, this feeling of knowing that she was being kept in the dark and calculating, but she didn't know what others were calculating about her, it was really depressing.

People are deliberately hiding it from her, how can they give it to her?

Jin Xin returned disappointed.

On the way back, Ziqin asked her, "Miss, do you want to inquire about what Miss Eight said?" ”

Jin Xin pursed his lips, and his expression was strict, but he didn't respond.

Ziqin saw that she didn't seem to be in a good mood, so she didn't say anything more, and silently followed her behind.

The two returned to Wutong Garden.

After going back, Jin Xin didn't even bother to pretend to be sick, washed his face, changed into bedclothes, and returned to bed, neither sleeping nor lying, just holding his knees with one hand and resting his elbows on his knees with the other, thoughtfully.

Ziqin followed up, and when she saw her posture, she was a little stunned for a while, and Zhang's mother came in and saw it, and felt strange and wanted to ask, but was stopped by Ziqin.

"What's going on? How do you go out and come back like this? ”

Zhang's mother pulled Ziqin aside and asked in a low voice.

Ziqin also didn't understand, so she just shook her head: "Forget it, seeing that Miss is thinking about things like this, let's not bother." ”

Mother Zhang listened, nodded, didn't say a word, let Ziqin watch here, and went out to do her own thing.

Jin Xin sat on the bed like this and sat until the evening.

While she was having dinner, she suddenly asked, "Which one is the most powerful in the eldest lady's house?" ”

Ziqin and Zhang's mother glanced at each other, and Zhang's mother said: "If you want to say that the most powerful person next to the eldest lady, it must be the eldest maid Yuqi, she is not only responsible for the daily life of the eldest lady, but also a right-hand man to help the eldest lady manage the family." The young lady also knows that now the eldest lady is in charge of the family. If it's a small family, it's nothing, our Jin family can be big, there must be a lot of things, from top to bottom, just the maids and women in charge are too many to count, but they perform their own duties, in an orderly manner, every month to report to the eldest lady to report their own affairs, and there are also temporary owners to take ideas, will also run to ask the eldest lady, one by one where can you see it? At this time, Yuqi is indispensable, and the affairs of the people below are reported to her, she listens to the idea, and if it doesn't matter, she herself made an idea and told people to do it, and just turn around and tell the eldest lady, if she can't get the idea, let people go inside to see the eldest lady. Therefore, although she is still young, she is very relied on by the eldest lady, but she is not arrogant and approachable, and everyone only praises her. If you want to say the most powerful, she has to be. ”
