Chapter 140: Congratulatory Gifts
Ziqi interjected with a smile on the side: "Miss Eight doesn't know, now Sister Ziqin is our Miss's most indispensable right hand, my young lady is busy, does she still have a reason to be idle?" Don't say it's Miss Eight, even me and Mother Zhang, we often can't see her. ”
Jin Wan'er said: "I think so." ”
Ziqin moved the pastries in front of Jin Wan'er and said with a smile: "Miss Eight, these pastries are made according to our Miss's own secret recipe, how about you taste them?" ”
When Jin Wan'er heard this, she picked up a piece and tasted it, her eyes lit up, and she smiled and said that it was delicious.
Jin Xin smiled silently and silently added tea to her.
Jin Wan'er slowly ate the whole pastry, drank two sips of tea before saying, "Fifth sister, I have something to discuss with you today. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Your family's chess is the most well-known, I guess you heard it just now, the second sister was born."
Jin Xin nodded and said, "Yes." I was talking about it just now. Eighth sister, what you want to discuss has something to do with the second sister? ”
"The second sister has been married for many years, and it is rare to return home to save relatives, and she also gave birth to a child on our side, so I thought about how to give a beautiful congratulatory gift. But I don't know what to send, so I thought about discussing it with the fifth sister, or the two of us will send a copy together to express our hearts, how about the fifth sister? ”
Jin Xin looked at Jin Wan'er quietly and said with a smile: "The eighth sister's mention is naturally good, there is a set of longevity locks in the gold store under my name, which is just made and unique, I think it is just right to give it to the second sister's child." ”
"The longevity lock in the gold shop of the fifth sister......"
Jin Wan'er muttered, although she rarely goes out and doesn't understand business matters, but she listens to what those aunts and subordinates say on weekdays, and she also knows how big Jin Xin's business is now. Fifth sister, I'm afraid I won't have that much money on hand......"
Jin Xin smiled: "What are you worried about? The two of us send it together, you don't have to give more, the big share is mine. ”
"How can this work?"
Jin Wan'er was a little embarrassed.
"What's that? It's always a heart, and it doesn't look at how much money there is. I should be more responsible for being a sister. What's more, where you and I are sisters, do I still have to worry about so much money with you? ”
Jin Wan'er wanted to say something, but Jin Xin directly interrupted: "Okay, don't think about it, the matter is settled." ”
"That'...... Well, then thank you Fifth Sister. ”
Jin Xin smiled and said, "However, let's look at this gift and give it after a while." ”
"Why?"
"When the child is full moon, wouldn't it be better for us to send it when we hold a full moon banquet?"
"Full Moon Banquet, they should go back to the General's Mansion to do it, right?"
Jin Wan'er asked.
Jin Xin said: "That's not necessarily. After all, the second brother-in-law is still seriously injured in bed, unconscious, and I don't know when he will wake up. In addition, the second sister has just given birth to a child, and her body is also weak, and the road to Kyoto is a long way. Come to think of it, the eldest aunt will not let them go back at this time. It's a must, this full moon banquet is going to be held here with us, it's really not good, they will go back to the general's mansion in the future, and the Yu family will make up for it themselves. ”
Jin Wan'er shook her head when she heard this, and said, "Fifth sister, what you said makes sense, then, let's wait for the full moon banquet to send it." ”
After the matter was discussed, Jin Xin sat with Jin Wan'er for a while, and chatted about something else during the period, estimating that it was time for someone to get up and say goodbye, but he saw that Jin Wan'er kept looking at herself with an expression that wanted to say nothing.
After waiting for a while and not seeing the other party speak, Jin Xin simply asked directly: "What's the matter, is there anything else you want to tell me?" ”
When Jin Wan'er saw her ask, she smiled awkwardly before she cautiously responded: "There is just something, I'm curious." ”
"What's the matter?"
Jin Wan'er hesitated for a moment before she said: "There has been a rumor in the house before, saying that the second brother-in-law intends to marry the fifth sister as a flat wife, and even did not hesitate to divorce the second sister for this reason, and there was a lot of uproar for a while." But slowly, some of them didn't come to an end, and they simply didn't mention it to the second brother-in-law. Right now, the second brother-in-law is seriously injured, and the second sister has also given birth to a child, I'm thinking, fifth sister, ...... you"
"You want to know what I think?"
"The fifth sister has also heard that whether it is in the house or outside, many people are spreading this matter, and there are many ugly words. I know that the fifth sister is a human being, so naturally I won't believe it. Just ......"
Jin Wan'er said that she was gradually silent.
Jin Xin listened to her disappearing end note, looked at her slightly lowered face and looked apologetic, smiled loudly, and said, "That matter has nothing to do with me. I never thought of marrying my second brother-in-law, let alone ruining the relationship between him and my second sister. What do you say about the ones that are spread out there? Although it is not made out of nothing, it is mostly speculation. Therefore, no matter how the situation between the two of them develops, it will not have any effect on me. ”
Jin Wan'er raised her head, her eyes widened and she watched Jin Xin calmly finish saying that, her mouth opened slightly, as if she was a little surprised, and then smiled: "Really?" I see! It's good that the fifth sister is not affected. ”
Jin Xin smiled: "It's unfounded. Don't worry, I'm not interested in marriage for the time being, and I won't be tied up by these things. ”
Jin Wan'er blinked her eyes and asked, "Fifth sister, don't you really want to find two people to marry at all?" Grandmother is very interested in your marriage. ”
Jin Xin sighed helplessly: "It's really a bit ashamed of my grandmother." I really don't want to think about these things yet, though. Now, I have more important things to do. ”
Jin Xin said, turned his head to look at the sky outside, and said, "It's not too early, eighth sister, do you want to go back first, if it's too late, I'm afraid your mother will be worried." ”
Jin Wan'er followed and looked at the sky outside, only to realize that she had been sitting here for a long time, and hurriedly got up and said, "Oh, it's time to go back." Fifth sister, then I'll go back first. ”
Jin Xin nodded, got up to send him off, and asked Ziqin to help take a lamp to send people to the gate of the courtyard.
Jin Wan'er left, and Jin Xin sat alone at the table again.
Ziqin was sorting out the teacup, and when she saw Jin Xin's appearance, she said: "Although Miss Eighth is a good intention, I'm afraid that Miss Second will not be happy to receive the so-called congratulatory gift." ”
Jin Xin smiled: "Isn't it?" The point is that she can't show that unhappiness yet. I really can't imagine what her expression will be like then. ”
* However, the next day - "Miss, you know what? The second lady's child is dead! ”
