Chapter 318: Washing Three
Two days later, good news came from the Jin family's East Mansion that Yan's grandmother Chen gave birth to a young lady, who was only five catties.
Chen's due date was last month, but there has been no movement, a month late, the eldest aunt Nie was worried about something, and invited a few doctors and Wen Po to wait in the house, but I didn't expect that Chen's sudden attack last night, the little lady landed at dawn, and it was smooth sailing.
Although the child has lost some weight, fortunately, the mother and daughter are safe, Linglong was very happy to hear the news, and immediately asked people to send a letter to Chen Feng of Luyin Xuan, and took the silver, and asked Chang'an to go to Jinyulou to redeem a few "longevity and 100-year-old" golden buns for the three ceremonies.
It's all ready, she hesitated a little, Chen Feng is the sister of the lobby sister-in-law, it stands to reason that Chen Feng is going to go when the three rites are baptized, but if she takes Chen Feng over, the lobby sister-in-law is the future grandmother, and it will inevitably make relatives laugh.
She was young, and she had just presided over the back house, so she was a little embarrassed when she encountered such a thing, so she simply wrote a letter to her sister-in-law in the lobby and asked Shuangxi to send it to Dongfu.
She sighed, she didn't have a mother-in-law, and she didn't have a capable daughter-in-law by her side, which was really inconvenient. Double Happiness is ten years old this year, and he can still walk around in the back house, and he won't be able to leave him in the back house for another year or two.
It was only an hour, and Double Happiness came back, which was similar to Linglong's guess, and the lobby sister-in-law Chen didn't let Chen Feng go over
Although it was expected, Linglong still felt uncomfortable.
On the day of washing, Yan Xu accompanied her to the Jin family's East Mansion. When they arrived in Dongfu, Xuanji's husband Dong Lian and Linlang's husband Li Yue had already arrived, Jin Ziyan personally entertained the three guests, and the male guests went to the banquet place. Since Linglong married into the palace. Let Shuangxi often go to the east and west to send things and send letters, this child has always been clever, and the relatives of the Jin family know each other.
Linglong saw the eldest aunt Nie, so she went to Ziyunyuan to visit the Chen family. As soon as she entered the inner room, she was pulled by the arm: "Little ghost, I won't show up when I get married, I finally caught you today." ”
It was her fourth cousin Linlang who grabbed her. The sisters were all there. Knowing that their sisters had always been good friends, they all laughed at this time.
Linglong was a little embarrassed: "There are no elders in the house, and I just entered the door." There are a lot of trivial things, and I have long thought of it to breathe. ”
Chen leaned on the pillow, beckoned to her, and took off her shoes and went to the kang. Sitting down next to Chen, the nurse brought her little niece over to show Linglong. Skinny and small, like a kitten.
Chen looked at her with apologies in his eyes: "Fifth sister, you have been wronged." ”
Linglong knew it in her heart. What Chen said about being wronged meant that she was going to take a concubine to her husband as soon as she got married, and one of the concubines was still her own sister-in-law.
Linglong disagreed. It has always been the princess who has to take a concubine to the prince one month after her wedding, but this concubine happens to be Chen Feng. That's a lot of embarrassment. In fact, even if it wasn't Chen Feng, it would be someone else, and Linglong really didn't feel guilty about the lobby sister-in-law.
"How can I be wronged, you see I'm fat."
As soon as she said this, Linlang reached out and pinched her face, she was still wearing baby fat, and her little face was pinched up with a piece of meat.
Everyone laughed again, the curtain was raised, and someone came in from outside, but it turned out to be Jin Wan and Jin Xian.
Jin Yu was not there, Jin Wan and Jin Xian were the youngest in this room, they saluted their sisters-in-law and sisters, did not go to the kang, sat on the pestle, and listened to the gossip of several married aunts and sisters-in-law.
When Linlang saw them, the corners of her mouth moved, but she didn't say anything, and asked about Linglong in the palace again.
Jin Wan looked at Linglong on the side, and saw that she was combing the woman's hair bun and inserting a multi-treasure peony hairpin, which was woven into a peony flower with gold silk, the petals were stacked, blooming wantonly, and the core of the flower was a ruby the size of a fingernail.
Jin Wan gritted her teeth and looked away.
Chen was still in confinement and couldn't be too tired, so the sisters talked to her, then withdrew and sat in the small warm pavilion of Ziyun Garden.
Linglong poked Linlang and motioned for her to go outside to talk. The two sisters followed each other to a small hall not far from the warm pavilion, where the mother-in-law usually used to do their work.
Seeing that the two aunts and grandmothers were coming, several mothers-in-law served tea and brought a few plates of dried fruits, and then withdrew.
Linglong asked, "What did the fourth sister want to say just now?" ”
Linlang smiled: "You clever ghost, this is all for you to see." ”
Linglong smiled without saying a word, took a small hammer, and smashed the walnuts.
Linlang said, "The second sister is back." ”
The little hammer in his hand paused in the air, Linglong put the little hammer down, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and asked, "Jin Chang?" How did she come back? ”
There was such a big thing before going, the Linjiang Marquis Mansion retired again, Jin Chang was hastily married to Zhou Xiucai of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and the Jin family also took a dowry of 500 taels of silver and 200 acres of terraced fields.
Linlang lowered her voice: "In this matter, the elders in the family are afraid that they don't know that Zhou Xiu is a famous filial son, and the maid is filial piety, and the Zhou family originally had some family business, but there are few orphans and widows left." In order to provide for his two younger brothers to study at Shude Academy in the suburbs of Beijing, he sold the last bit of his belongings. After the second sister passed the door, the family of three lived on one hundred taels of silver a year from Zhou Xiucai's house, and the Zhou family had no descendants, and the two maids she married in the past had to do the housework of the whole family. The second sister has been waiting for her mother's family since she was a child, where can she stand this grievance, she quarrels with Zhou Xiucai, the mother-in-law of the Zhou family is young and widowed, and she pulls her three sons with one hand and one foot, of course, it will not be a good stubble. It didn't take long for the second sister to use the dowry to subsidize the expenses of the two uncles in the capital, but the second sister didn't comply, so she took the soft and the maids back to the capital. “
It turned out that Jin Chang came back like this, Linglong was taken aback, Jin Chang was really dead. "She wants to run away from home, why don't she go back to Jiangsu and come to the capital to do something?" She asked.
The fourth aunt Jiao has been sent back to the old house in Jiangsu, although the fourth uncle Jin Chun is still in the capital, but he has nothing to do, and he is idle all day, just because he is afraid that he will go back to Jiangsu to make trouble, Jin Yu and Jin Min forced him to stay.
When Jin Chang returned to the capital, Jin Chun not only couldn't support her, but maybe she had to calculate the dowry in her hand.
Jin Chang has already offended the people in the East and the West, and her grandmother, Mrs. Jin, will not care about her. For the sake of the dignity of the Jin family, Jin Yu and Jin Min may immediately send her back to Shanxi.
Linlang shook her head: "It's really true that you say that, what is she doing when she goes back to the capital?" “
Linglong asked, "Fourth sister, how do you know that she has returned to the capital?" “
Linlang sneered: "She is really thick-skinned, bullying the eldest sister with a soft face, she ran to join the eldest sister, the eldest sister's in-laws are relatives of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, how dare she speak out about this, she knows that I have a small house in Changle Lane that has not been rented out, so she will discuss with me, and Jin Chang will live with me at this time." “
Linglong remembered the scene when Jin Wan looked at her, and it seemed that Jin Wan knew.
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized, and said to Linlang: "Fourth sister, you have to make plans quickly, Jin Chang will return to the capital, I am afraid that the people who came to find her uncle may also want to find her cousin." “
Linlang's face changed, Jin Chang was taken away from the mansion by her cousin Jiao Changxing and sent to Tianxiang Hutong, although this matter is secret, but it is related to the Linjiang Hou Mansion, Xuanji and Linlang both know.
It's really possible to say that Jin Chang ran back from her in-law's house and didn't go to Jiangsu to join Jiao's family, but ran back to the capital at risk, which is too strange.
Linlang was so angry that she stomped her feet: "Why is the eldest sister so confused, stuffing such a mourning star to me, how can I send her away?" “
Linglong didn't speak, this is really not a big deal, she is not the little girl who was bullied by Jin Chang back then.
