Linglong picked two South China Sea bead hairpins and a pair of matching earrings, the South Sea beads on them are the size of fingers, and the luster is shiny. Linglong remembers clearly that she had seen these beads and earrings in her mother's makeup box.

This is also what Linglong is proud of, perhaps due to the influence of her previous life, although she did not recover her memory until half a year ago, but she grew up, but all jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as long as she has seen them, she will not forget jì. She was only four years old when she left home, but when she saw these three things, she could still recognize them at a glance, they belonged to her mother.

Jin Yuan obviously didn't remember where the bead hairpin and earrings came from, and seeing that Linglong didn't like her, she breathed a sigh of relief and generously asked Linglong to borrow it to wear, provided that she must go tomorrow.

borrowed the jewelry, and Linglong was just about to leave Wanghe Garden, when she saw the second-class maid Huixiang beside the Song family coming over: "It just so happens that the fifth lady is also here, and the slave and maid will no longer go over to pass the word." The eldest lady of Dongfu is here, please all three young ladies come over. ”

The Jiangsu Jin family is not the only one in the capital, the third master of the Jin family, Jin Min, and the most important long house of the Jin family is also in the capital. The eldest lady of Dongfu is the wife of Jin Yu, the uncle of the Jin family. The house of the long house is the East House, and the house of the three-room Jin Min is called the West House.

Don't look at this thing, the two mansions sound like they are very close to each other, but in fact, one is in the east of the city and the other is in the west of the city, and there is very little communication between the two houses.

The Jin family was known as the living god of wealth in the previous dynasty, and it was rumored that the Jin family had a cornucopia, and the silver could not be spent no matter how it was. When Dawu Dynasty Taizu raised troops, he went to the Jin family to get silver, and the name of the head of the Jin family's generation was Jin Shilin, and he didn't know if he was forced or really voluntary, and all the wealth of the Wanguan family was handed over to Taizu. When Dawu established the dynasty, the Jin family had only one ancestral property left in the old house in Jiangsu. Taizu thanked the Jin family for his loyalty and wanted to make Jin Shilin an official, Jin Shilin politely refused, Taizu asked him what he wanted, and he said that he only needed five hundred taels of gold and the name of an imperial merchant.

The five hundred taels of gold are only a drop in the bucket compared to what Taizu "borrowed" from the Jin family, Taizu approved Jin Shilin's request, and ordered that the old rule that the merchants of the previous dynasty would not be lifted from then on, and from then on, the children of merchants could raise their ranks.

Jin Shilin is the ancestor of Linglong, and he later rebuilt the family business twenty years later with the name of the five hundred taels of gold and the imperial merchant. By now, the Jin family is one of the top businessmen in the Dawu Dynasty.

Jin Min is the eldest son of the long house, the third line, he and his second brother Jin Zheng have both entered the office, he has become the head of the household Kyoshi Langzhong, and Jin Zheng is now the prefect of Hanyang. The eldest brother Jin Yu inherited the family business and is still in business.

The Jin family is an imperial businessman, and it is inevitable to interact with the dignitaries in the palace and the capital, Jin Yu moved his family to the capital many years ago, and the house in the east mansion of the Jin family is ten years earlier than the West Mansion.

Although the two prefectures of the east and west are in the same capital, and they are the same clan and the same descendant, they have not had much contact over the years, that is, they only move around during the New Year's holidays.

Since Feng's illness and the second wife Song Xiuzhu took charge of Xifu, Nie's first time in Xifu.

She was in her forties, her eyebrows were thick, and there were already a few deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. The body is a long body gown carved with silk cross brocade, and the jet-black round bun is combed neatly, and only an ebony hairpin with a jade face is inserted.

Coming with Nie was her eldest daughter-in-law Chen and youngest daughter Jin Linlang.

Linglong remembers that when she was a child, she often went to Dongfu and met this eldest aunt, who was a cool woman who spoke quickly. When she was still in the old house in Jiangsu, she often heard people mention that the eldest lord Jin Yu was not in good health, and the Jin family's business over the years had actually relied on the Nie family to take care of it, so even her grandmother, Mrs. Jin, did not dare to provoke this eldest daughter-in-law.

Linglong has been in the old house for eight years, and she has only heard that Nie has gone back once, and that time Nie went back to her mother's house in Jiangsu to hold a funeral for her mother, and it was inconvenient to meet people with filial piety, and she also asked people to bring a box of snacks to Linglong.

Nie was sitting precariously, Song Xiuzhu was sitting under her, and when she saw Linglong, Jin Yuan, and Jin Yu coming in, Song Xiuzhu hurriedly asked them to call someone.

Nie Shi smiled informally, watching the three nieces salute her, and only bowed slightly. Her gaze swept over the three of them, and finally landed on Linglong.

"This is Miss Five, I don't dare to admit that she has grown so tall in a blink of an eye."

She beckoned to Linglong, and Jin Linlang, the fourth lady of Jin, came over and took Linglong's hand, walked up to Nie's side, and said with a smile: "But it's not, if I see this in other places, I really can't recognize this as the fifth sister." ”

Nie Shi took up his delicate little hand and looked up and down: "She really looks like your mother, and she is a beauty." ”

A trace of disgust flashed in Song Xiuzhu's eyes, she finally understood why this sister-in-law suddenly came here, it turned out to be for Linglong!

As the main room, the Nie family looks down on Song Xiuzhu as a concubine. During the New Year's holidays, I just sent my son over to greet my uncle. Today, I came to be a guest for the first time, but it turned out to be for Jin Linglong.

Song Xiuzhu sneered in her heart, the Nie family's family is also in business, and marrying into the Jin family is even more like showing up all day to take care of business, this kind of rough blank is the most shallow-eyed, and there is no trace of luxury in the whole body, who doesn't know what the identity of the five girls is, she even ran over to win over, and she was not afraid of spreading the mildew to their Dongfu.

"I said where did the incense wind blow the sister-in-law here today, it turned out that the sister-in-law heard that the fifth lady was back, so she came over. This is my mistake, I should have asked the fifth lady to ask the eldest aunt to say goodbye first, but why did I let the sister-in-law come to visit the junior in person. ”

Nie Shi was still holding Linglong's hand, and when she heard Song Xiuzhu say this, she snorted from her nose: "Aunt Song is really good at talking, didn't you go to drink the full moon wine of Li Shilang's grandson the day before yesterday, and you only had Sister Yuan by your side, why didn't you hear the news that you told the wives at the same table that Fifth Miss returned to the capital." If it weren't for the relatives from the old house, I wouldn't have known that our Miss Jin Jiayan had returned. ”

Up and down in this house, no one dared to call the second wife "Aunt Song" for a long time, but the Nie family shouted out like this, and they didn't even look at Song Xiuzhu's face.

Song Xiuzhu scolded her to death in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face: "Look at what you said, sister-in-law, the fifth lady has just come back from her hometown, and she is not used to the capital, and the concubine is also thinking about letting her go to the uncle and aunt to say goodbye after a while." ”

Nie Shi sneered, his eyes fell on the patched embroidered shoes on Linglong's feet, and said, "Then don't bother Aunt Song, I'll take the five girls to live in Dongfu for a few days." ”

Unexpectedly, the Nie family not only came to visit Jin Linglong, but she also had to pick people up.

Song Xiuzhu didn't like Linglong again, and she didn't want Nie to take Linglong away. The entire Jin family, and even the entire capital, know that Mrs. Fang of the Jin family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Linglong's little hooves are already an idea, and if she has the Nie family as a backer, I don't know how many unfortunate things will happen in the future.

She was about to stop her, but she didn't expect Linglong to shake her head: "Thank you for your kindness, Linglong wants to take care of her mother, and then go to live with your aunt in the future." ”
