Chapter 185: Unexpected
Everyone in the room was amazed, the bamboo bird's eyes were inlaid with two small rubies, and when it flew like this, its wings spread up and down, almost no different from the real bird, and Mrs. Ying asked, "Who did this?" It's really clever. ”
Jin Yi pointed to Qiao Wei behind her, "This girl used to follow me in Shangxiutang, and she couldn't do other skills, but she was still good at skill, and she made some jewelry for me on weekdays." Turning her head sideways, she asked her to look at the purple hosta flower on her head, "This is still the warm smoke purple jade sent by the old lady last time, and it was also made by her." ”
When everyone saw her mention Shang Xiutang by herself, she was frank and did not have a trace of embarrassment, and saw the concubine sitting on the top and looking at her with a smile, without a little mustard, they couldn't help but sigh a little in their hearts, when they first saw Jinyi, many people inevitably had some disdain for her Shang Xiutang's background, and felt that although she was the daughter of the Houmen, it was still inappropriate to marry her and be the wife of the concubine. Who knew that in just a few months, she would become the most noble princess of Chuchen among the ladies of the family, and it was really unpredictable.
Mrs. Ying glanced at Qiao Wei a few times, and saw her following behind Jin Yi before, her face was a little yellow, and she looked inconspicuous, so she smiled and said: "The princess has superb medical skills, and is good at planting flowers, and there is such a capable and ingenious girl by her side, which is really enviable." It's no wonder that many people in the city now want to learn these female official skills, and I want to learn how to grow flowers. ”
Mrs. Lin said: "I heard our Xiangye say that the emperor has decreed that the hard labor in Shangxiu Hall will be exempted, and there will be more people who will come out of it in the future, and I will open a hall in the city to teach art, and I will also let the girls in the family go to learn, don't say it, just learn embroidery is also good." ”
She looked at Jin Yi and said with a smile: "The Buddha picture that the princess subscribed for last time was embroidered in a month, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to take a look." ”
Mrs. Lian of the Fu family, the servant of the ministry, said: "When I went out with Minzhi a few days ago, I passed by Shanxi Pavilion, but I saw that Buddha picture, which was really exquisite. ”
Shanxi Pavilion is a trading house that auctions valuable donations in Yishantang, and Mrs. Lin listened to it and asked, "Have you sold it?" If it hasn't been sold yet, I'll check it out another day. ”
Mrs. Lian said: "I heard that the shopkeeper said that he would take it to Jiangnan for auction, so if you want to see it, go early, and ship it away later." ”
Everyone talked about next month, and the semi-annual preparatory meeting of Yishan Hall was about to open again, and Mrs. Fen of the Zhenguo Gonghuan family smiled at the concubine, "The concubine has not been to the preparatory meeting for several years, and our family has to donate a lot of money every year. ”
Everyone laughed when they said that, and the concubine pointed at Yunhui and Jinyi and smiled: "With the two of them here this year, I don't have to go." After a pause, he said: "In the first two years, my health was not very good, and there were few people in my family, so I was too lazy to go out to participate in the banquet. These days, thanks to Sister Yi'er's medicinal diet, the illness is much better, and Yunhui is a lively person, I think about holding a banquet at home in a few days, and then invite you to come and be lively for two days. ”
Everyone applauded, Jinru pulled Jinyi and whispered: "Auntie has been deserted here for so many years, and finally it will be lively again." ”
At noon, a few tables of banquets were held, and at the banquet, Jinyi thanked several women who assisted in the marriage, especially Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Ying.
The two of them sat together, Mrs. Ying watched everyone toast to Jinyi, remembering that when she first returned to Beijing, she was embarrassed by her stepmother and sister-in-law everywhere, and now one of the two died inexplicably, and the other was afraid that there would never be a good day left, and she couldn't help but sigh and said to Mrs. Lin beside her:
"Originally, I thought that Sister Yi was a creative person, but now everyone respects her, and the Miss Qin San who married into the Ma family has a much more difficult life."
Mrs. Lin nodded, and said in a low voice: "I heard the news that the original lady of Qingronghou, who was the biological mother of Sister Yi'er, was forced to commit suicide by her stepmother, and now it seems that the retribution is really unhappy." ”
Mrs. Ying was stunned, she knew about Xu's death, but she didn't expect Jinyi's mother Jiang to be killed by her back then, thinking that Xu's monopoly had given birth to Jiang's private property for many years, but she ended up with a secret after death, and she really suffered retribution.
After lunch, the guests gradually dispersed, and the concubine asked Yunhui to go to the front to see off the guests, left Jinyi to speak, and took her hand and said, "Now that we are really a family, you don't have to take those words I said to you last time." I didn't know that your stepmother had done so many foolish things, but I blamed you wrong. Qin Zhiwu's matter, your uncle also sued me,...... Sister Yi, if it weren't for you, the Qin family really didn't know what kind of land they would fall to. ”
Jin Yi didn't expect her to talk about this to herself, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mother, Jin Yi is young and ignorant, if there is anything inappropriate, I need more guidance from you." ”
The concubine sighed, "You are a clear-minded person, and I will be relieved that you will take care of Yulou in the future." ”
Jin Yi seemed to have another meaning when she heard her words, and she didn't want to ask much for a while, so she had to nod lightly, "Mother don't worry." ”
The concubine talked about Yunhui again, "She suffered a lot when she was young, and when she came to me, she inevitably spoiled her a little more." When she comes back this time, I'm afraid she will have to live in the house for a few days,...... She is too reckless and a little paranoid, but when you get along with her for a long time in the future, you will know that she is actually a very simple person and has no bad intentions. ”
Jin Yi smiled bitterly in her heart, she had already arranged for two beautiful maids to be by Sima Yulou's side before she passed the door, where did she look like a simple-minded person? However, it can also be seen that Yun Hui cares about the concubine very much, and when she is in front of her, she never shows the slightest discord with herself, so she can't embarrass the concubine.
"The county lord has a straightforward and bright temperament, and when she comes back, the house is lively, my mother is happy, and I am naturally happy."
The concubine smiled and nodded, "The male guest should have dispersed over there, turn around and let Yulou take you around the house, although there are few people in our family, but the place is still big enough, Lingxi Lou has just been reorganized, and you need to take care of it." You go back first, you don't have to come after dinner. We don't have that many rules at home, just come and see me in the morning. ”
Jin Yi responded, talked for a while with him, and retreated with Qiao Wei Qianmo.
As soon as I came out of the courtyard gate of Qinxin Building, I happened to see Sima Yulou walking towards him, "Why did it take so long to come out?" I was about to go in and pick you up. ”
Jin Yi saw that he hadn't seen him for only one morning, so she was in a hurry to come to find herself, and she couldn't help but feel some inexplicable joy in her heart, this feeling of being remembered from time to time was really good, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I talked to my mother for a while." ”
The two walked forward side by side, Sima Yulou took her hand and laughed softly: "If you are not tired, I will take you to the garden for a walk." (To be continued.) )
