On the second day, Jin Xuan got up early in the morning and went to the Jingshe to see Sima Yulou. Seeing that he was refreshed, he was stepping out of the hospital door.

When Sima Yulou saw him, he laughed, "I was drunk last night and bothered you." ”

Jin Xuan hurriedly said that it was okay, and looked at him intently, not as depressed as yesterday afternoon, so he put his mind at ease.

Sima Yulou said goodbye to him, "I spent a whole day in your house yesterday, and I will leave first." If you have time in two days, let's go to Zhongshan to have fun. ”

Jin Xuan saw that he was about to leave, knowing that he had always come and gone casually, and he didn't mind, so he sent him out of the house with a smile.

Turning around, he came to Jinru's lingering Bixuan.

As soon as I entered, I saw Jin Ruzheng and Jin Yi having breakfast. Jinru smiled when she saw him: "Why don't you accompany your cousin?" So saying, he took him and sat down with him.

"My cousin went back early in the morning." Jin Xuan sat down and shook his head with a puzzled expression, "When he came yesterday, he looked excited. In the afternoon, he was sullen and drunk. When I saw him this morning, I was overjoyed, and I was weird and strange......"

Jin Yi on the side listened to it, and secretly laughed in her heart, took a crystal winter melon dumpling into the bowl, and ate it silently.

After the meal, the three of them sat and drank tea.

Qin Shun came in and handed over the list of gifts to various mansions at the end of the year for Jin Xuan to see.

In the coming year, it is a common practice for families in the city to give each other New Year's gifts, and there is no one in the Changfeng Marquis Mansion now, and these things are all taken care of by the housekeeper Qin Shun himself.

Jin Yi was listening to his brother and sister pondering the gift list to their relatives, and the thirty quintals of New Year's goods from his aunt, Princess Chuchen, were all pigs, sheep, poultry and fish, game, rice, dried and fresh fruits, and high-quality silver frost charcoal sent from Zhuangzi. The other twenty taels are for the wearing of brocade and silk. A Lantian jade lotus Goddess of Mercy, a pair of enamel color pine age Zhishou double bottles...... etc.

There are all kinds of things, and then look at the grandfather's family, there are many heirs of the Zuo Xiang Fan family, and the gift list is more than twice as much, and there is a long list, which makes people dizzy.

Jin Yi remembered the Baozhu camellia that she had promised Mrs. Ying, so she mentioned it to Jin Ru.

"Yes, the second aunt loves to plant flowers and grass the most, and giving her this is the most to her liking." Jinru said with a smile, and discussed with her to visit Fan's Mansion today, and ordered someone to bring the New Year's gift with her, which was more heartfelt.

Jin Yi nodded, and said to Jin Xuan: "I only have Qiao Wei around me now, and there are maids in Brother Jin Xuan's mansion who are familiar with the situation of the family in the city, dial one for me to use." lest there be a joke about wearing the wrong family crest next time. ”

Jin Ru nodded frequently after hearing this, and Jin Xuan also said: "I also heard about the last time, but you are still witty, and you almost fell into other people's calculations." ”

Jin Xuan heard Jin Ru tell the events of that day in detail, and knew that the Xu family had bad intentions, so he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. Thinking about Jinyi's calmness, I felt very relieved, and I was much more relieved to her than before.

Jin Xuan thought for a long time and said, "There are a few older people in my house, who are calm and capable, but they don't look good when they go out with you." He lowered his head and thought hard, and suddenly clapped his palms and smiled: "There is one who is very suitable, and the age is just right, I will also ask her to come out to show you." ”

After a while, four or five men came and stood in the courtyard for the three of them to choose.

The first few are about 30 years old, and they are all dressed as stewards. Only the last one, seventeen or eighteen years old, was tall, with a disc face and a pair of round almond eyes.

Jin Xuan pointed at her and said to Jin Yi: "This girl has been in Yishan Hall when she was a child, and she has excellent abacus and is good at taking care of accounts. Yishantang has always been familiar with the families in the city, and knows a lot of rules, do you think it is appropriate? ”

When Jin Yi heard it, he knew that it was the person Xiao Lou said. After a few more careful looks, I saw that her eyes were smart, but her face was calm and her demeanor was downright and generous. Jin Yi noticed that her ten fingers were long, but they were not white and tender, and she thought she had learned some kung fu.

He nodded happily, "Yes, that's her." ”

Jin Xuan nodded in response, waved his hand and let the others go down, leaving only the girl to come and salute.

"Qian Mo has seen Miss." She knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Your name is Qian Mo?" Jin Yi asked her.

"The maid is called the desert, the care, the desert of the desert. Hou Ye heard that it was too lonely, so he changed to Qianqian Mo's white Qianmo. ”

Jin Yi listened, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Qianqian is white, and the fragrance is fragrant." Yes, the name is excellent. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Jin Xuan and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Jin Xuan." ”

Jin Xuan nodded and smiled gently, "You and Ru'er should go and get busy." I'm going back to the Ministry of Works. ”

At the right time, the two of them took a car out of the house, followed by more than a dozen carts loaded with New Year's goods, and went to Qingxifang, another big noble family in the east of the city.

Entering the inner mansion through the side door, after passing the shadow wall, Mrs. Ying, who had received the letter early in the morning, had already waited here with everyone for a long time.

As soon as she saw the two of them, Mrs. Ying stepped forward with a smile and greeted, "Sister Ru'er is really diligent, she came to deliver the New Year's goods in person, the ancestor is happy to hear it, come in with me, a big room of people is waiting for you." ”

He pulled Jin Yi and said, "You are here, I still want Ru'er to invite you to play." ”

The three of them walked forward with a smile and a smile, and a large group of maids and women were surrounded by them, which was very lively.

Fan Qiyao, the left minister, is over 50 years old, has a wide range of heirs, and has given birth to five sons and three daughters. The eldest son, second son, and eldest daughter were all born to Mrs. Fan, and the eldest daughter was Jinru's mother.

Mrs. Fan is only in her forties this year, but her eldest grandson is already an adult and married, and she is respected as an old lady in the family. Because of the large number of children and grandchildren, every day when the ladies of the Rineifu accompany the old lady to dinner, they have to set up two large tables.

Jin Yi followed Mrs. Ying into the house, and when she saw the people in that room, she was suddenly a little dizzy.

Jin Ru was already pulled into the crowd, "eldest aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt ......" called one by one, Jin Yi secretly said to herself, she has a good memory, otherwise where can she tell the difference between these many noble ladies in gorgeous clothes.

There are more than a dozen sisters and sisters.

Jinru called all the people, and half an hour had passed. Only then did he sit next to Mrs. Fan, tilt her head on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Ru'er has come to see you." ”

Fan Xiang's ancestral home is Luoyang, and the heirs of the Fan family all have some hearty northern scholar habits, and the daughters-in-law who married back are also bright and generous, and they are fast-talking.

The rules of the Fan family's inner mansion are not very strict, so Jin Rucai was dragged by the aunts and uncles to talk in a car, and then came up to meet her grandmother.

Mrs. Fan was full of black hair without a trace of silver frost, her skin was delicate and fair, her eyebrows and eyes were bright, and she did not show a trace of old age, she held Jinru in her arms, and poked her smooth forehead with a smile, "You bad hooves, don't kowtow to your grandmother first." ”

said, smiled at Jinyi, "This is the cousin you often talk about, right?" ”

Jin Yi smiled lightly, stepped forward to give a dignified salute, and said, "Jin Yi has seen Mrs. Fan. ”
