Chapter 189: Coral
Leaving Chunhui Hall, Linglong took Xi'er to Zhilanxuan. Jin Yu is also here, and is doing needlework with Coral in the wing room, when she heard that Linglong is coming, and the two of them put on their shoes and greeted the door.
"Fifth sister, you can come back, the two of us are about to suffocate to death." It was coral who was shouting, and Jin Yu had a flat mouth, her little face was broken, and she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
Linglong took the two of them in her arms one by one, and asked: "I went back to the house after the lobby sister left yesterday, and today I was busy celebrating my birthday early this morning, you live close to Chunhui Hall, tell me, what happened?" ”
Coral and Jin Ziye live in Zhilanxuan, and Zhilanxuan and Chunhui Hall are only separated by a green bamboo sandwich road. Jin Yu originally lived in Wanghe Garden with Jin Yuan, and after Jin Yuan and Jin Wan moved into Chunhui Hall, she slept here here for the past few days.
Coral was about to speak, and her nurse said, "Miss Nine, don't you always embroider the wings of this bird badly, and when Miss Fifth is here, you just need to ask for advice." ”
She can ask for advice about embroidery at any time, and she is not in a hurry for this moment, obviously she doesn't want Coral to talk nonsense.
Linglong didn't care, Coral is a person in the second room, just a temporary residence in the capital, there is no need to wade into this muddy water, when the nurse followed Coral, the second aunt must have told her.
Coral was not happy, she was only seven years old, and she was the only daughter under her parents' knees, and she had always been pampered. The little face stiffened and said, "The fifth cousin must not have eaten enough at the birthday banquet, my mother went to cook a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and the fifth cousin praised you for cooking the best noodles last time." ”
What else did the nurse want to say, but Linglong smiled at her and said, "I'm really embarrassed to eat more at the birthday banquet." I'm really hungry at this time, I have Lao Mom, it's best to have chives, sprinkle a little more, Xi'er, you go and help. ”
The nurse didn't want to talk more, so she had to take the smiling Xi'er to the small kitchen, and when Coral and the maid next to Jin Yu saw it, they all withdrew under the pretext of helping together.
Coral then said, "Fifth sister." Something is wrong! The second cousin brought back a man. It's locked up in the upper court. The fourth brother went to see a few cousins, and when he came back, he didn't tell me anything, so I went to Liu An beside him and scared him. If he doesn't tell me the truth. I asked my mother to marry his sister to an old bachelor in the Shanxi mining kiln. His sister is the girl on my stove, and the fried pork she makes is delicious, so I am reluctant to let my mother marry her to Shanxi. I just scared Liu An. ”
Linglong's eyes were full of smiles, pinched her nose, and said with a smile: "Clever ghost, what did Liu An say later?" ”
Seeing Linglong so intimate with coral, Jin Yu's eyes were a little more envious. The third sister always disciplined her, although the fifth sister was very kind, but it was always like a layer away from her, if only she could be treated like the ninth sister. She knew that her aunt and the third sister were not on the same page as the fifth sister, but she liked the fifth sister, and the fifth sister would never treat her like the third sister as a maid, nor would she take all the good things like the third sister, and she was not allowed to touch them.
Sango's voice was lowered: "Liu An said that he only heard a few words, the Linjiang Hou Mansion is going to marry our family, and he asked the second cousin to be his aunt to his second master, and he also said that the second cousin has done something unseemly." My grandmother and uncle agreed, but the third uncle didn't agree, and asked the fourth brother to also go over to express his position, although my father was not there, but the fourth brother was the eldest son, and he came to express his position on behalf of our little second room. Fifth sister, you know, my fourth brother is only thirteen years old, he hasn't tied his hair yet, how dare he take his father's position in front of the elders, just pretend that he has a stomachache and is still lying in the house at this time, dinner is still the red bean cake I asked Liu An to secretly bring to him, and he eats it in the tent. ”
Linglong smiled bitterly, no wonder after the two ladies of the Linjiang Hou Mansion left yesterday, there was a rumor in the house, it turned out to be Jin Chang's business.
I really didn't expect that the nurse Han Li would have such a great ability, and let Jin Chang and the Linjiang Marquis Mansion get together. It's just that I don't know what's going on in the middle, the person brought back by the second cousin is the Sun Wang who went to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to complain.
Linglong thought about it, and asked Coral again: "In addition to the eldest uncle, the eldest cousin and the second cousin, has anyone else been here in the East Mansion?" ”
Coral shook her head: "No, definitely not." I'm worried that the fourth brother will be involved again, so I've been paying attention to the maid. Not only did the eldest aunt and sister-in-law not come, but neither did the two cousins. Yesterday, the eldest sister and uncle came over, but then the eldest uncle asked him to go back first, and said that there were many things in Jin Wuwei, so he should not come back these days. ”
There is such a humiliating thing, of course, you can't let your son-in-law participate, Linjiang Houfu is still a close relative of the eldest aunt Dong Lian.
Linglong comforted Coral: "It's okay, it's okay, if my father asks the fourth cousin to go over to express his position, just let him keep pretending to be sick, my father knows it in his heart and won't embarrass him." ”
Coral breathed a sigh of relief, although he had followed his father in office since he was a child and learned to read words and feelings, he was still a child after all. The worries were gone, and he was immediately elated, pulling Linglong to ask about the birthday banquet of the Seven Imperial Princesses, which royal relatives and relatives were there, whether they had seen the people in the palace, and what fashionable clothes the ladies were wearing. Linglong took the trouble to come one by one, and talked about Xiao Yanqiu's play, Coral twisted her body and coquettishly: "There are so many fun things in the capital, I haven't seen it yet, and when the Chinese New Year comes, my mother is here, and she will take me back, how good that little Yanqiu sings, I can't hear it." ”
Jin Yu has been listening very carefully beside her, the corners of her mouth are pursed, and her eyes are full of envy.
Linglong knows that no matter how her father maintains it, Song Xiuzhu's good life is over, Jin Yuan has already reached the end of her life, as long as she doesn't die, her father will set up a family affair for her as soon as possible and marry away; Jin Xian is a man, but it will not be difficult, but it is hard for Jin Yu, she is not yet eight years old, and she has to stay up in the house for seven or eight years, Linglong remembered the days she lived in the old house, and couldn't help but hold Jin Yu's hand: "Sister Yu, don't look back at the lotus garden these days, or the coral can't be squeezed here, just come to live with me." Aunt Song, don't go again. ”
Jin Yu lowered her head, looked at her little hand, and after a while, she said: "The third sister scolded me, saying that I don't care about my mother, she said that she is not free now, let me go to my father to intercede for my mother's aunt, but my father is busy, I dare not go"
Linglong patted her hand: "If you don't dare to go, then don't go, if my father feels sorry for my aunt, he doesn't need others to intercede, he will also defend it, if he doesn't have this heart, it's useless for anyone to plead." ”
It's just ridiculous that Jin Yuan still doesn't understand until now, how can Song Xiuzhu have such a big thing, how can her father maintain it?
The son does not teach the father's fault, and the woman does not teach the mother's fault, Song Xiuzhu has exhausted the calculations, but she has not taught Jin Yuan how to behave in a person, and without Song Xiuzhu's protection in the future, Jin Yuan will only make more and more mistakes and go farther and farther.
