Chapter 91

Third Sister You didn't have a good impression of Jia Zhen because of the books she had read in her previous life and the various news she had found out from He Wangsheng in this life. At this moment, I saw that his eyes were staring at Second Sister You'er's body with squinting eyes, and his heart became more and more crooked. It's just that in front of the whole family and the eldest girl, it's not good to show that you don't like it. I had to hook the corners of my mouth indifferently, and said casually: "It's just for the big sister." Please forgive Uncle Jane. ”

"Hey, the third sister is too polite." Jia Zhen squinted her eyes and smiled: "We are all a family, and you and your second sister only call me brother-in-law." Why be so unfamiliar. ”

Before a word fell, Old Lady You and You Ziyu were busy laughing on the side and seconded the proposal, because they said again: "Uncle is really an approachable temperament. That being said, you two sisters should not see each other. ”

Seeing this, Second Sister You and Third Sister You had no choice but to call their brother-in-law and salute Jia Zhen again. Jia Zhen took advantage of the second sister You to give him a gift, and squinted her eyes and swept the second sister You to show her delicate figure, turned around and asked You Ziyu with a smile: "I don't know how old the second sister is this year, but is it okay?" ”

When You Ziyu heard Jia Zhen mention this matter, the smile on his face faded and faded, and he said in his mouth: "It's a promise to others." but when it was an infancy, it was a marriage on the belly. ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she had to ask Xu whose family it was and what the other party's character and knowledge were. Because he smiled again: "It's not that I'm making a bold statement." It's just that the noble family in Chang'an City, our Jia family dare not say that they all have dealings, but they are also familiar with each other. The father-in-law might as well talk about it, and also call it to palm the eyes of the second sister in the next place. ”

When You Ziyu heard this, he had to say with a smile: "It's not a big family. It's just a head of the village who used to manage the emperor's village for the saint. Because he angered the people in the palace a few days ago, he suffered a lawsuit. Now I don't even have any errands. However, he tossed around with Zizhang and earned some credit. It is said that after the Chinese New Year, he also figured out GuΓ² Zizhang's door activities and donated a seven-grade official to be released. ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she unconsciously let out a thoughtful "oh", and then glanced at the second sister with regret, shook her head and sighed: "It's a pity." ”

When a sentence fell, everyone in the hall did not answer. Even the eldest girl looked at Second Sister You with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and she was a little at a loss.

Chen didn't want to hear Jia Zhen talk about this, so he couldn't help but smile and ask about other topics. When Jia Zhen asked, she had to answer them one by one. At the end, I still wanted to invite the second sister and the third sister, and I only said, "If you have to be free, you will go to the house for a walk, and I will accompany your big sister." In addition, we also have a few girls in Jiafu, who are also literate and literate. Presumably, you can all fall in love with each other. ”

Mrs. You and You Ziyu were overjoyed when they heard this, and they had to thank Jia Zhen for their two sisters. Jia Zhen waved her hand disapprovingly, and subconsciously glanced at Second Sister You again, before smiling at the eldest girl: "This time, our family has a happy event, and the Jinling Zhen family has a few Xingong Shu brocade as congratulatory gifts." I remember that one of them was a big red silk and a lotus lotus flower, which matched the complexion and charm of the two younger sisters. Later, when we go to our house, you can ask someone to find out and give it to your two sisters. ”

Before a word fell, Jia Zhen glanced at Second Sister You again, and then smiled meaningfully: "It's also my brother-in-law...... Just a little bit of heart for the two sisters.。 ”

When the eldest girl heard this, she didn't feel anything wrong, and still smiled and said, "Master, what I said is with me." I saw those congratulatory gifts yesterday, and I only felt that they were all rare and beautiful. Especially those few Shu brocades, the end is gorgeous and matchless, as bright as a streamer, no wonder the world praises it. Such a good thing is also worthy of the character and appearance of the second sister and the third sister. Since the lord also said so, then I will borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and be generous to the lord. ”

The eldest girl has been with Chen's mother and daughter for so many years, in addition to learning the knowledge of the housekeeper director, she has also learned some of the neat mouth of the third sister. After such flattery, Jia Zhen was really very comfortable. Deng Shi smiled and said, "Mrs. Duyi, Mrs. Duyi." ”

After that, he still hinted at a few words, and asked the eldest girl to take the two sisters to sit down, "It is also the meaning of accompanying you to relieve your boredom." ”

When the eldest girl heard such gentle and considerate words, she was a little shy, but she was embarrassed, lowered her head and only fiddled with her clothes.

Chen never thought that Jia Zhen's status would be so diligent. For a while, he felt more and more light on his face, and hurriedly got up and smiled: "Let's not just talk about small talk, it's this hour, I think everyone is hungry." According to the old lady, where should we put our lunch? ”

When Mrs. You heard this, she first looked at Jia Zhen with an inquiring attitude, and Jia Zhen naturally smiled and asked Mrs. You to make the decision. Mrs. You ordered the Chen family to put the meal in the main hall of the upper room.

When Chen heard this, he had to go out to Zhang Luo. At one time, the tables and chairs were set up, the cups and plates were listed, and the little girls had already entered with vegetables and fish, and Chen's one by one held the rice and entered the soup, and Mrs. You was supported by the eldest girl to sit on the front, and the rest You Ziyu and Jia Zhen sat down, the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl all accompanied Mrs. You to sit in the next order, and Chen served beside Mrs. You.

After the meal was finished, and I ate tea and fruits. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Jia Zhen said goodbye to Mrs. You, You Ziyu and Chen, intending to take the narcissistic eldest girl to the car.

Before leaving, Chen smiled at the eldest girl and said, "I have prepared some things for you, come with me, and I will explain a few words to you before leaving." ”

When the eldest girl heard this, she had to follow Chen back to the main house. Seeing this, Jia Zhen had to sit in the upper room and continue to wait. Fortunately, Mrs. You and You Ziyu were talking with them, and the second sister and the third sister also sat quietly on the side, and they didn't feel lonely for a while.

On the other hand, after the Chen family returned to the room, he ordered Chunlan Qiuju to bring back to Ningguo's mansion the silver plate that had been handed over to the eldest girl's personal maid who had made some good things first. He took the eldest girl's hand and explained how to use it and so on. and told the Wu family about the marriage, and ordered the eldest girl to take it to heart.

When the eldest girl heard Chen's words, she was naturally ashamed, ashamed and grateful. However, he disagreed with the latter words of Chen's advice. But he also knew that Chen's advice was also for his own good. If not, I'm afraid that if someone else changes, I wish she would have no contact with her relatives and relatives.

It's one thing to understand intellectually, but it's another thing to be emotionally reluctant. Since the eldest girl went to her biological mother, she has been in the You family for so many years, although she is a concubine, she is not even as good as a concubine. The reason for this is that it is one thing for his biological mother not to be valued by the old lady, and the main reason why the Wu family came to the door to make trouble because of the dowry after Wu's death. It was because of this incident that Mrs. You and You Ziyu hated the Wu family very much, and by the way, they didn't want to see her, the granddaughter of her in-laws.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and when the eldest girl was suffering, the Chen family entered the door of the You family, and since then, she has clearly distinguished her concubines and relatives, and the eldest girl is stained with the blessings of the Chen family, so she can be regarded as living a good life.

During this period, the Wu family still had no news, as if someone had pinched it to death. Now that they have married into the Guogong Mansion and become the Duchess of the Kingdom, they don't know which corner they came out of, and they still want to use this to get married......

The eldest girl sneered in her heart, and only took Chen's hand and persuaded: "Mother, why should you pay attention to those people who are only disgusting and disgusting. Besides, I didn't think they were any relatives. In my heart, you are my mother, and the Chen family is my foreign family. I don't know anything about the rest of them......

When the eldest girl said this, she couldn't help but say movingly: "Since I made a scandal for a few taels of stinky silver, I didn't get along with each other. Why should this son come up in the name of his closest relatives? If they really bite to death and never see each other for the rest of their lives, I will also admire it. What's going on now? Is it just because I'm a fool that I don't understand anything? ”

Chen looked at the eldest girl's face with excitement, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but sigh. The reason why she agreed to the Wu family's request was because she was selfish. But looking at the big girl's reaction at this time, she also sighed. You must know that the eldest girl was only thirteen years old when her mother died, and the little girl who was so big had no mother for a while, and the foreign family was so unbearable, and then she was forgotten by her grandmother and father, and was tortured by her aunt and concubine in the back house...... It's not easy to endure all these years.

It's no wonder that she has been disgusted with the Wu family since then - this is the eldest girl's gentle and gentle temperament, and she can't make a big fuss. If you change to someone else, you don't know how to toss.

But fortunately, the Chen family did not intend to excuse the Wu family, and seriously resolved the resentment in the eldest girl's heart. The reason why she mentioned the big girl so much was just because she was afraid that the Wu family would use three indiscriminate tricks to force the eldest girl with etiquette β–‘β–‘. Therefore, Chen only mentioned a few words: "It's not that you accept them from the bottom of your heart and forgive them, but just to give you a reminder, so as not to fall into their way and be passive." ”

Chen paused, and then said: "Actually, on the day you put on your makeup, I didn't want to take care of their familyβ€”the old lady also meant this, and I couldn't wait for me to tie them up and send them to the deep mountains and old forests to feed the wolves." It's just that if I do this, I can get angry for a while, but what should you do? It was your big day, I didn't press them, could it be that they would find a handle and go to Ningguofu? When the time comes, how will you see people in front of the relatives of the Jia family? So I can only use this procrastination trick - I am not saying this to you, not for anything else, but to make you think about it for a while. After all, my legs are long on them, and I can stop them for a while, but I can't stop them for a lifetime. If they get bored of me one day and go directly to Ning Guofu, you should also think about how to deal with it. ”

The eldest girl listened to Chen's words, and originally planned to have the idea of not getting along with each other for old age. At this moment, I don't feel that my heart is numb. Hurriedly holding Chen's hand, he asked, "Mother is very right." What do you think I should do? ”

The words fell, and I only heard the voice of the little girl talking outside the window, but it turned out that Jia Zhen was a little impatient in front of her, and sent someone to urge the eldest girl.

Chen read a few books back then, and he also knew the truth of intimacy. She never thought of getting involved in the affairs of the eldest girl and the Wu family. lest the mutton not be eaten when it is timed, but it will cause a commotion.

Hearing this, he smiled happily and said, "This is not mine, I actually told my uncle to wait." Let's get out of here. ”

As soon as the words fell, the eldest girl said jokingly: "...... In the end, it is a young couple, so affectionate, and they can't be separated for a moment......"

The eldest girl who said it blushed and hung her head in a heartbeat. Only shyly and timidly followed behind Chen, like a little quail.

Seeing this, Chen laughed even more.

After entering the upper room for a while, Mrs. You smiled and said, "I don't know if you two have anything to say." It's only coming sooner or later. My uncle was in a hurry. ”

When Chen heard this, he still smiled and quipped: "The old lady has wronged me this time." As a mother, I naturally have a lot of things to tell my daughter, and this is human nature. Where did you think that my uncle was so inseparable from the eldest girl, and he only had a few cups of tea, so he came to urge? ”

Jia Zhen also felt embarrassed. I couldn't help but glance at Chen.

Chen is now in his thirties, because of proper maintenance and smooth life, standing at the front of the person is slender, coquettish, glamorous, bright and compelling. For a while, Jia Zhen was stunned, but she really didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so charming.

Because of the smile and the way Chen smiled, Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's all mine." It disturbed the gossip between my mother-in-law and my wife. ”

When her mother-in-law said it, Jia Zhen felt more and more unsightly in her heart. At the moment, he coughed twice with a weak heart, got up and said to everyone: "It's not early, don't wait until it's dark for a while to go out, it's unlucky." Shall we go? ”

The last sentence was naturally said to the eldest girl.

Although the eldest girl is a new daughter-in-law who has just come out of the cabinet, she still knows these old customs. Hearing this, the busy bow should be.

Everyone in the You family looked at the sky outside and didn't stay long. Old Mrs. You ordered You Ziyu to send Jia Zhen and her party to the door in person, and saw that Ning Guofu's carriage turned around the alley, and was no longer visible, so she turned around.

Here is not to mention how the You mother and son are publicized. It was only said that early the next morning, when everyone was about to have breakfast, someone from Ning Guofu came to visit, only saying that they were ordered by the old lady to send Shu brocade to the two sisters of the You family.

When Mrs. You heard this, she was overjoyed and praised, only saying that Jia Zhen really took their family to heart. Only Third Sister You frowned when she heard this. I only felt that the attitude of the people from Ningfu was frivolous, and it didn't look like a serious exchange of relatives and courtesies.

Third Sister You thought about it, and quietly called Chen's personal girl Chunlan and her own girl Zhen'er to her side, and gave a few words like this. Zhen'er nodded yes, and went away for a while.

The actions of the third sister and the servant of the third sister You were not paid attention to except for the second sister on the side. Old Mrs. You still ordered someone to come in with a smile on her face, and ordered the Chen family to prepare a first-class Feng'er to reward people. Chen naturally smiled.

At one moment, a little girl from the class at the door brought people from Ning Mansion into the hall. They looked closely, but they saw that they were four women, all of them in their forties, and they were dressed in things that were no different from their masters. walked to the front, first greeted the old lady, the Chen family and the girls, and then presented a salute according to the rules-

Although the people from Ning Mansion kept saying that they were ordered to send Shu brocade to the two girls. However, when the eldest girl makes some gifts, she must not only send things to the second sister and the third sister according to Jia Zhen's words, but at least prepare some things for the old lady, the old man, the Chen family and the four girls, and send them together, so that it is in line with the rules.

Sure enough, Old Lady You saw that the gifts given by Ning Mansion were so rich, and the smile on her face grew. When he boarded, he called auspicious Ruyi to take the gift held by everyone, and read it slightly, and then ordered someone to receive it first.

For he made them sit down and talk, and commanded that tea be offered.

When the four women heard this, they all took their seats and sat down. Mrs. You smiled and said some words of housework, and asked the old lady of the Rong Mansion if she was good, the ladies and gentlemen of the two mansions were good, and the girls and young masters were good.

The four women all smiled and replied.

After a while, the four of them were about to leave. Third Sister You stopped everyone. Because he said with a smile: "My sister went back to my uncle's house a few days ago, because my uncle had just come back from the palace, and he brought back a few bottles of perfume. I heard that it was a new tribute, and the saint rewarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a few bottles, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewarded my uncle with a few bottles. My uncle knew that I was a big fan of these things, so he gave me two bottles. I shared a bottle and tasted it with the old lady, the old lady and the sisters, and the taste was much sweeter than what we sold in the shop. This time, thanks to Uncle Zhen and his eldest sister, they gave us these good things. I don't have anything to give back, only this bottle of dew, which is considered a blessing, and some rouge powder from our shop, which is better than what is sold in the ordinary market. I'm sorry for you to go, and I'll give it to my sister a little. ”

As soon as Third Sister You said something, everyone in the hall looked at it. Mrs. You and the Chen family knew that Chen Qi had sent two bottles of dew to the third sister - because of Chen Qi's proud scenery in front of the saint and the prince, and because he held real power in the household department, there were already first-class people in the court who praised the high and stepped on the low heat stove and began to flatter Chen Qi in all directions. Because Third Sister You had tossed out all kinds of flowers and fruit cakes and fragrant dew drinks with fresh flowers and fruits in the early years, the local officials who made zuΓ² fragrant dew to pay tribute took this as an excuse and sent a lot of fragrant dew to the Chen Mansion, just saying that everyone in the Chen family could taste it, and it was good to point them out.

In addition, even when other local officials enter Beijing to renew their posts, they will also deliberately send some filial piety to Chen Qi.

Therefore, the Chen family is not short of fragrances, and even other precious things. Even at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last month, Chen Jue specially sent a few bottles of perfume to everyone in the You family to try - they were all filial piety by the officials in those places - only the two bottles of perfume that were given to the third sister You the day before yesterday were personally rewarded by the prince to Chen Jue, and Chen Jue gave two bottles to the third sister. In Chen Qi's words: "I also let you taste the difference between the fragrant dew that comes out of the palace and the one outside." ”

Chen Qi is so concerned about spoiling the third sister You, even for his own biological children. In the eyes of Mrs. You and others, this move naturally felt envious. Even Chen's occasionally has pantothenic acid. But everyone also knows that the reason why Chen Jue spoils Third Sister You is also because Third Sister You is talented and resourceful.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that Third Sister You'er's two bottles of fragrance were not hot, so they actually divided a bottle with the eldest girl, and asked the four women from Ning Mansion to bring it back-

Seeing this, everyone couldn't figure out for a while what kind of tendon You San'er had smoked, so they had to look at each other.

Only Mo Ruomu, the daughter of the Chen family, guessed a little in her heart. I don't think it's secretly funny, and I don't know who Third Sister You has such a strong temperament with. However, she is also a little tired of being crooked, although the people in Ning Mansion are polite, they still have a condescending attitude in their words and demeanor-

In Chen's view, although Ning Guofu is a meritorious family, Jia Zhen is also a hereditary third-grade title, which is very remarkable. But their Chen family is not bad. Her brother Chen Qi is still a saint and a celebrity in front of His Royal Highness the Prince!

Although at this moment, it is not as good as Ningrong and the Jingzhong family to have a close relationship, and they have a lot of connections. But it's not the poor people who wait to come to the door to pump the abundance.

Therefore, the Chen family was also happy to watch Third Sister You take out the incense dew rewarded by the prince to deter and deter Ning Guofu - so that Ning Fu knew that their Chen family also had the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind them.

Sure enough, when Third Sister You proposed that this bottle of perfume was personally appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone did not refute it, the four women from Ning Mansion did not feel solemn and respectful on their faces. With the power and wealth of the Ning Mansion, it is natural that others must not be filial piety. But like these good things that are personally appreciated by saints or princes and grandchildren, Ning Guofu can rarely catch them. After all, although they are meritorious families, their ancestors have the merit of following the dragon, but since the death of the two princes, the masters of the two mansions have no great talents, and now they are gradually leaving the court. As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, and today's saints are on top of everything, and they can't see the two princes in person, where can they be thought of on weekdays. What's more, the Ning Guofu at this time is not the Rongguo Mansion with the concubine and the queen, and these decent graces are naturally not there.

Several women in Ning Guofu secretly sighed a few times in their hearts, and quite solemnly took a small bottle of perfume in Zhen'er's hand, and looked at it without a trace, and couldn't help but smile a few words of flattery, and their attitude was much more attentive.

Third Sister You was too lazy to take care of these Jia family servants with "two decent eyes and a rich heart", so she just dealt with it a few words, and then asked everyone to go back.

For a while, everyone returned to their homes to resume their lives, and in front of the You family, they couldn't help but be full of praise - they didn't mention how the You family was, only that the Chen family, the You family's foreign family, was really unusual.

When You Shi heard this, he didn't feel that there was light on his face, and he also said that he had worked hard, and ordered someone to reward people with a superior seal.

When the four women saw this, they were full of gratitude and flattery. But I don't know this courteous attitude, but it annoys another person-

This person is the grandson of the head of Ningguo Mansion, the son of Jia Zhen, who was only twelve years old at the time, Jia Rong.

And the reason why the four gift-giving women in Ning Guofu were so arrogant and reckless when they came to the door was also under the orders of this young master.

As the grandson of the eldest family of Ning Guofu, Jia Rong prides himself on his noble status, and he naturally looks down on You's stepmother. So I hate the house and Wu, and I also want to give the You family a little color.

didn't expect that he was going to show off, but he didn't expect that the four women were so useless, but they were sent back by Third Sister You with a bottle of perfume in a few words.
