Chapter 29: Look at each other
Lu is a shrewd person, and she doesn't echo Mrs. Cui's words, but just mentions, "Last time, the old lady said to pay attention to the eldest girl's family affairs, but the daughter-in-law looked at the two families coldly, I don't know what the old lady thinks?" ”
At this time, the Lu family couldn't wait to marry Jinxin. Otherwise, staying in the house, Mrs. Cui is still thinking about being her son's daughter-in-law. At that time, as long as Mrs. Cui does not die, Yan'er's main room will be Jinxin.
How could she accept An Min and Luo Youtian's daughter as her daughter-in-law?
Taking advantage of Mrs. Cui's anger, she proposed a family affair, and Mrs. Cui was the easiest to accept.
Sure enough, Mrs. Cui sat up straight, and said with a solemn face, "Jin Yatou is an unconscious person, and last time she said that her family affairs were in charge of the Luo family." The people of the Luo family are dying, and my grandmother doesn't give her a palm, how can she get married? ”
With a sigh, she stared at Lu Shi again and asked, "Which two are you looking at?" People don't care about the hard life of the Jin girl? ”
Seeing that Mrs. Cui was interested, Lu Shi hurriedly smiled back, "The old lady doesn't know, these two families are not as frivolous as those crazy families, they are serious scholars, and they are not bad at all with big girls." ”
"Originally, I wanted to give the brocade girl to Yan'er, but this girl's temperament is becoming more and more perverse, and I don't think she is worthy of Yan'er."
Cui Lao Taijun's words undoubtedly gave Lu Shi a glass of ice water in June, and he was refreshed from head to toe. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui finally relented and stopped shoehorning that little slut into her son.
She hurriedly complimented Mrs. Cui diligently, "Old lady Mingjian, the eldest girl's mind is not in our house, and she can't keep it." ”
The Lu family, who is good and well-behaved, never forgets to give Luo Jinxin eye medicine in front of Mrs. Cui.
"But no matter what Jin Yatou says, she is also talented and beautiful, but she can't be wronged." In the end, it was her grandmother, and Mrs. Cui still couldn't bear to marry Jinxin in a daze.
Lu Shi hurriedly smiled, "Old lady, you don't have to worry about this, don't you know your daughter-in-law's eyes?" ”
She said while breaking her fingers and saying carefully, "These two families are excellent, one is the uncle of Shuntianfu Yin, the wife died the year before last, and I want to renew the house, the eldest girl marries the past, and our family has become relatives with Shuntianfu." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Cui nodded slightly, Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued, "Another family, the child is an only son, there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, and there are groups of slaves and maids, but it is just ......"
When she said this, she paused and glanced at Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”
"It's just that the kid is a little weaker, and in terms of age, he is younger than the uncle of Shuntian Mansion Yin, and he is also comparable to the eldest girl."
"Well, it's not tight if you're weak, you're young, as long as you know how to study and improve."
Seeing that Mrs. Cui did not refuse, Lu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "That...... The old lady picks a day, so that the matchmaker can come and see each other? ”
Cui Lao Taijun's eyelids drooped, as if he was thinking about something, and said after a long time, "Being able to be in-laws with Shuntianfu Yin will be of great benefit to Yan'er and Brother Lan in the future, I think, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the Jin girl is also tossing blindly at home, so it's better to let people come and see each other as soon as possible, right?" ”
"Cheng, that daughter-in-law will make people talk, and if you want to come to the Yin family in Shuntian Mansion, someone will come in a short time."
Lu Shi simply quit and went to tell his mother-in-law to go and pass the word.
After noon, the wife of Shuntian Mansion Yin sent someone over, two mothers-in-law in their forties, who came to Cui Laotaijun's upper room with four-color gifts.
When Mrs. Cui saw that these two mothers-in-law were dressed differently from ordinary servants and maids, she knew that she had some heads and faces in front of Mrs. Yin of Shuntian Mansion, so she naturally didn't dare to wait slowly, and hurriedly let the pomegranate flowers serve fragrant tea and set up snacks.
The two servant women had also seen the world, and stood up with a decent smile, "Old lady, don't be busy, we just want to meet the eldest girl, so that we can wait for our wife's words." ”
When Mrs. Cui saw that the servants and women were so neat, she sighed in her heart, and hurriedly asked the girl to go to Jinluo Pavilion to call Jinxin over, and specially told the girl to let Jinxin freshen up and come back.
Jinxin, who was reading a medical book in Jinluo Pavilion, heard the girl's words, and hurriedly stood up and listened. It's just that she is very confused, why did her grandmother specially ask her to freshen up? Could it be that there is a distinguished guest in front of you?
She was busy asking the girl who was talking, but the girl didn't know the identities of the two servants. Jinxin had to comb carefully, and asked Zizhi to comb her a double bun, hairpins two white beaded flowers, and wore a moon-white lake silk gown with plum blossoms.
Because her father and mother died less than three years ago, she wore a white skirt with a raised line.
Dressed up, Zizhi praised in the mirror, "The girl's appearance is not grease and powder, and she also compares to others." ”
Jinxin glanced at her, didn't say anything, and went with Xue Ling.
When she arrived at Mrs. Cui's upper room, Pomegranate Flower was already standing outside the door waiting for her. As soon as she arrived, Pomegranate Hua hurriedly picked up the light silk soft curtain and said with a smile, "Miss Luo is here?" ”
Jinxin nodded and smiled at her and entered the house.
Old Taijun Cui sat on the carved ebony Taishi chair in the bright room, and two servant women sat below.
Jin Xin didn't know each other, just smiled and saluted Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui pointed to the two servant women and introduced, "This is from the Yin family of Shuntian Mansion, come over today to talk a few words." ”
He smiled at the two servants, "This is the granddaughter of the old man, a small family, I don't make you laugh!" ”
As soon as the two servant women heard this, they hurriedly got up and took Jinxin's hand and looked at it carefully, and a servant woman with a long face said with a smile in her mouth, "The girl is really good-looking, and I am afraid that the whole capital will not be able to find a second one." ”
Jinxin was praised by her a little inexplicably, and couldn't help lowering her head.
Mrs. Cui smiled and said humbly, "Don't torture her, how dare you compare with other girls?" ”
The other servant woman squeezed her hand carefully, and said with a smile, "The girl's hands are delicate and long, and I think they are skillful, I don't know if the girl has a ready-made handkerchief or something, and let us open our eyes." ”
When Jinxin heard this, it was very strange, good and dignified, how could he ask someone for a veil when he met?
Even if she can't use the veil, she can't give it to these people she doesn't know?
She looked up at Mrs. Cui, she really couldn't understand what these two servants meant, and counted on her grandmother to play a round, after all, the girl's things can't be passed on at will.
But what she didn't expect was that Mrs. Cui actually smiled and nodded, "Jin girl, just show these two mothers the one you are holding in your hand." ”
After instructing Jinxin, Mrs. Cui smiled at the two servant women again, "My granddaughter has no mother since she was a child, and her needlework is so-so, don't let you laugh!" ”
The two mothers-in-law hurriedly smiled and complimented, "Look at what the old lady said, people like you still point to the girl to do needlework?" It's just a scene, and don't let your in-laws pick a thorn when the time comes. ”
"That's it." Mrs. Cui nodded with a smile, and urged Jinxin again, "Why are you so grinding?" ”
Jinxin had no choice but to give the snow-white Hangzhou silk handkerchief in his hand to the two servants.
There is only a fresh and beautiful red plum embroidered on the handkerchief, although it is simple, but it is very expressive.
The two servant women praised each other, "I didn't expect the eldest girl's work to be so bright, our wife must like it." ”
With that, he tucked the handkerchief into his sleeve.
Jinxin was very puzzled: What does this veil have to do with their wives? I don't know each other well with Mrs. Yin of Shuntian Mansion at all?
