Chapter 118: Autumn Pear (Second Watch)
Linglong's heart moved slightly, Nie Lin's second son is sixteen years old this year, and if the birth goes smoothly, Miss Mao's child will also be sixteen years old. The Jing'an Hou Mansion, which has been neglected for a long time, regained its favor more than ten years ago.
"Was it at that time that the Holy Lord reused the impostor?" Linglong asked.
Nie Lin thought for a moment and shook his head affirmatively: "Not then, I remember clearly, my man still gave the eldest lady the money at that time. There are court officials and noble children who come to borrow money to turn around. Some of them were not able to turn around for a while, and some of them spent all the monthly silver given by the government after eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, so they came to borrow money from Yinzi. Although the impostor's strength is weak, there are still some family backgrounds, and the children of the impostor family have also come to borrow it, and they will definitely return it in less than three months.
The last time to repay the money, the current Hou Ye Mao Daming just took the title, he took the post of Fujian Commander to Fuzhou to take office, this often come to borrow silver of the Mao family is the nephew of the Hou Ye, the uncle took him to the post, the future has a good future, since there is no need to borrow money to turn around. On the day he came to repay the money, it was the fourth birthday of my second child, and I was looking forward to his father's return at home. ”
Linglong asked: "What about the young lady of the Mao family who was sent to Wuyi'an, you often have contacts with the eldest aunt and the prefectures in Beijing, do you know who she is?" Was there any news of her later? ”
"Ever since I heard about it, my daughter-in-law has really paid attention to it. At that time, there were only four young ladies who lived in the Hou Mansion and were at the age of marriage, and two of them were the daughters of the former Hou Ye, that is, the current Hou Ye's sister-in-law, Mao Minyi, the fourth aunt's wife, and Mao Jingyi, the fifth aunt's wife. There is also one is the daughter of the brother of the first Hou Ye, the sixth aunt Mao Xueyi, and the fourth is the eldest daughter of the current Hou Ye, the eldest lady Mao Qinghuan. ”
Linglong's curiosity had been aroused by this incident, and she asked, "Did these four impostor ladies all marry in Jingzhong later?" ”
Xingyu poured tea for Nie Lin's with her own hands, Nie Lin's thanked her with a smile, and then continued: "Fourth Aunt Mao Minyi gave it to the Zhending Chen family, which is the maiden family of our grandmother in Dongfu, and in terms of it, it should be the aunt of the grandmother." The Chen family is really a big family. Although it is a family, it is separated by a few rooms. The fifth aunt's wife, Mao Jingyi, married in Beijing, her husband is a student from a poor family, and he only became a jinshi a few years ago; The sixth aunt's wife, Mao Xueyi, promised to the Hou Shizi of Jiangning. The Marquis of Jiangning should be strong and strong. Mao Xueyi is still Mrs. Shizi. It's the eldest lady of the current Hou Ye."
At this point, she suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "The eldest lady Mao Qinghuan's family affair is quite unsmooth. It was originally the young son of the old man who was promised to be married to the old man of the Ministry of Shangshu Shen Ge, but he had not yet married. Long live the autumn siege, Shen Gongzi was also fortunate to participate, but he fell off the horse and lasted for three days and three nights, still dying. The eldest lady guarded the widow, three years later, Shen Ge Lao took the initiative to issue a document, let Miss Mao choose a good fate again, or by the long live to marry, Miss Mao married Chu Guogong to do a continuation, Chu Guogong's first wife only had three daughters, and Miss Mao gave birth to a son after passing the door. “
Seeing that there was a bit of interest in Nie Lin's eyes, he smiled and asked Huancui to take two boxes of dim sum and reward them to Nie Lin.
Huancui smiled and said, "This is made by the fifth lady of our family, Sister-in-law Nie will go back and taste it." ”
Nie Lin hurriedly gave a salute: "Fifth Miss did it, how dare the daughter-in-law be?" ”
Huancui said: "Since it is rewarded by the fifth miss, sister-in-law Nie accept it quickly, you will often come to chat with the fifth miss in the future, and talk, then it will be fine." ”
Nie Lin took it over, and Linglong asked her to continue to pay attention to the affairs of the impostor, so she asked Huancui to send her out.
Huancui accompanied Nie Lin and her maid Baojuan on the black locust road leading to the back door, and no one noticed that Jin Yuan and the two maids were standing in front of the rockery not far away.
She hadn't seen Nie Lin's family, but when she saw that she was accompanied by Huancui, she said to the new maid Ning Xiang: "You go and inquire, who is that woman, and what is she doing here to find Linglong?" ”
When it was time for dinner, Ning Xiang came back and said to Jin Yuan: "That daughter-in-law is the Nie Lin clan next to the eldest lady of Dongfu, I heard that this Nie Lin clan is now calling the fifth lady." ”
Jin Yuan's face changed greatly, when she saw Nie Lin's family, she saw that Nie Lin's family was well-dressed, generous and decent, and thought that it was someone's wife, but it turned out to be a slave next to the eldest aunt. The slave who followed the Nie Lin clan to do business had a much higher status than the housekeeper of the Xifu, but this was okay, what surprised her the most was that the eldest aunt actually called such a person to Linglong.
Jin Yuan hurriedly came to Bitong Courtyard, she wanted to tell her mother about it, Xifu is so big, if she hadn't met her today, no one might know that Linglong still has such a person in her hands, and her mother shouldn't know either. If she knew, she would have pulled out this thorn in her eye a long time ago.
There were two mothers-in-law guarding the gate of Bitong Courtyard, but they didn't let Jin Yuan in anyway: "Third Miss, Mrs. Song is also for you, there are so many relatives in this mansion, if you always run here, it will reach the ears of your relatives, and it will affect your future." ”
Jin Yuan was so angry that she stomped her feet, so she had to let the little girl go to Rongyuan to stare at it to see what Linglong was doing.
Linglong has a person like Nie Lin in her hands, if she will still do her duty, she won't believe it if she is killed.
As soon as she returned to Wanghe Garden, the little girl who had been watching her before came back, saying that the fifth lady had gone out and left for Dongfu.
"What is she doing in Dongfu, does the old lady know?"
The little girl said: "The maid has asked, this matter is approved by the old lady and the third master, and in the future, the fifth lady will go to Dongfu every day to learn the way of running a house and the etiquette of women with the grandmother of Dongfu." ”
Jin Yuan only felt that her head was buzzing, of course she knew what the sister-in-law Chen of the East Mansion was, it was the daughter of the Zhending Chen family. Before she was grounded, every time she met the daughters of those big families, she often heard people say enviously: You have a cousin-in-law from the Zhending Chen family, you are really blessed.
But the relationship between the East Mansion and the West Mansion has never been harmonious, before Linglong returned to the capital, the eldest aunt had not even been to the West Mansion for many years, and she had only seen the sister-in-law of the lobby when the lobby brother got married, and only remembered that it was a woman with a quiet temperament.
But now Linglong can be with her!
The eldest aunt has always been partial, but why does the father do the same?
Father's love for her eldest daughter, Linglong is nothing, but she is the daughter of a crazy woman!
There is also the Xu family, they know that Linglong is by the Chen family's side, I am afraid that they will also be happy.
The more Jin Yuan thought about it, the more angry she became, she stretched out her hand to smash something, Mama Yang made a look, and several little girls hurriedly surrounded her, this one told jokes, that one handed candy, so angry that she had to throw her sleeves, sit on the big kang, and pull the handkerchief in her hand to sulk.
Jin Yu heard the maid say that the third sister was back, jumped in, and held a plate of chopped autumn pears on the kang table: "Third sister, this pear was brought by the fourth cousin, and the grandmother rewarded a basket in each house, and the fifth sister said that the autumn pear is the most moisturizing and clearing the fire, you can taste it, but it is sweet." ”
Fifth sister, it's Linglong again!
Jin Yuan flicked it casually, and the crystal plate containing the pears fell off the kang table, shattered into several pieces with a snap, and the pears cut into pieces were sprinkled on the ground.
Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, then cried, turned around and ran out.
Jin Yuan was still angry, and asked all the people around Jin Yu to come over, and scolded: "You who are not long-eyed, if you dare to let Miss Seven and Linglong be together, I will tell my mother and let the tooth take you all away!" ”
