On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Zifeng, who came back from Taishan Academy for the New Year, took his younger brother Jin Xian to Rui Wang's Mansion to pick up his aunt and grandmother and return to his parents' house.

Yan Xu asked the two uncles to sit in the Wisteria Courtyard first, waiting for Linglong to deal with the trivial matters in the house.

When Yan Xu was still Shi Er, he knew that Xiaoqiu's father doted on his aunt, and his brother didn't care about their mother and daughter, so he had a preconceived idea of Jin Zifeng. Later, when he learned that Jin Zifeng and Gu Jinzhi were very close, he was even more displeased with this brother-in-law, but was closer to Jin Ziyan and Jin Zihuan in Dongfu.

In the first year of marriage, according to the customs of the capital, the daughter and son-in-law return to the door on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the mother-in-law's uncle wants to pick up the person at the mother-in-law's house, and the mother-in-law will also give gifts to the uncle.

What Yan Xu gave to Jin Zifeng and Jin Xian was a box of lake pens, one side of the inkstone, two pairs of champions and the first golden bun.

Linglong's in-laws are too tall and upright, and they have long been ungrounded, and these things are all prepared by Linglong herself.

Linglong sat in the hall, Huancui came in, and said: "Princess, the second lady's maiden family is here, and it is the second lady's younger brother and a mother-in-law of the Shi family, and the mother-in-law is the companion of the Shi family's wife, saying that she was instructed by her wife to kowtow to the princess." ”

Linglong said: "Let's just say that I'm going to leave the house at this time, you go over, just let her kowtow to me in the weeping flower gate, and then give her a five-dollar red seal." ”

Huancui answered, and turned around and went out with a little maid.

When she went out, Xi'er was coming in from outside and said to Linglong: "Princess, Sister Fuliu beside Grandma Yan is here, she has already promised someone at this time, it is Ma Ming's family." Grandma Yan left early this morning to return to Zhending, and asked her to bring you a message when she left, thank you for your kindness, but the elders over there in Zhending let the third lady live in the mansion with peace of mind. ”

This means that the Chen family will not let Chen Feng return to his parents' home.

If it was usual, Grandma Yan's Chen family could pick up her sister out, but today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and she also has to go back to her parents' house, and her brother and sister-in-law have already left the capital, and no one has come to pick up Chen Feng out of the house.

Linglong sighed and said to Xi'er, "You lead Ma Ming's family to Luyin Xuan." Let her tell the third lady these words to her face. ”

Xi'er took the order to go out. Little Seventeen came in with Fusu, little seventeen was wearing a cotton robe sprinkled with gold flowers and wind hair, and the pigtails were decorated with two finger-sized Nanzhu, although they were still very thin. But the face is red in protein. It's no longer the blue and white when I first came.

See him. Linglong thought of Yan Xu, Yan Xu was also like this when he was a child, and asked Huadiao. Did he also comb his braids?

"Aunt Fusu, say it quickly, the imperial sister-in-law is leaving, say it quickly." Little Seventeen urged Fusu, and his little face was on fire.

Linglong smiled and asked, "What's the matter, you don't say it yourself, you have to let Aunt Fusu say it." ”

Fu Su said: "The seventeenth master has not been a relative, and he wants to follow the royal brother and sister-in-law to go to relatives, and he is embarrassed to say it, so let me be a slave." ”

Xiao Seventeen was a little shy, raised a silk bag in his hand, and said to Linglong: "Sister-in-law, I have prepared all the New Year's gifts."

The flower carving on the side smiled and said: "Seventeenth master, how can there be a little uncle who follows his sister-in-law back to his parents' house, you are obediently in the house today, and let the little eunuchs accompany you to fly kites." ”

"No, sister-in-law, take me." As he spoke, Xiao Seventeen ran up two steps and put the satin bag on Linglong's knee, just like when he stuffed sugar lotus seeds into Linglong's hand in Yonghua Palace.

Linglong opened the satin packet and saw that it was a bunch of powdered plum slices snowflake candy, this thing is similar to modern white sugar, but with the addition of borneol, it is more precious, Xiao Seventeen had a little cold a while ago, he hated the bitterness of the medicine, and Linglong sent him a jar.

Seeing the New Year's gift he prepared, Linglong smiled and said, "Transfer the items I gave you to my mother's house, and the seventeenth master will really save money." ”

Xiao Seventeen was not shy anymore, he climbed up to the kang with a smile, and his feet in black calfskin boots were shaking.

"Why don't you send the bird that Brother Twelve gave me, but I can't bear it."

It was as if he hadn't said it, and the whole room was amused.

Linglong said to Xingyu: "You go and prepare a four-color gift for the seventeenth master, let's go out, and the seventeenth master will go together." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Seventeen cheered, didn't hug him with Fusu, jumped off the kang himself, but pulled Fusu's skirt again: "Auntie, you can go with me." ”

Fu Su touched his pigtails lovingly, and said softly: "My aunt makes eight-treasure rice cakes in the house, and the seventeenth master can eat them when he comes back." ”

Seeing that the seventeenth prince was going with him, Jin Zifeng was taken aback, he also heard that the seventeenth prince lived in the Rui Wangfu, and he also inquired in private, knowing that the seventeenth biological mother Cheng Concubine was the cousin of the queen's mother, and now seeing that the seventeenth was going to the Jin family together, Prince Rui only smiled and did not object. Jin Zifeng is the best at these, and immediately walked over with a smile and said to Xiao Seventeen: "Seventeen Master, you can get into the student's carriage, the student lifted the curtain to show you the street scene." ”

Xiao Seventeen had sat in the carriage of the imperial brother and sister-in-law, and they did not let him lift the curtain, and when he saw Jin Zifeng say this, he immediately happily got into Jin Zifeng's carriage.

Linglong is noncommittal, his brother is really clever, even this kind of gimmick can be thought of immediately, but unfortunately this cleverness is not used in reading, if he is willing to be as down-to-earth as the lobby brother and the second cousin, maybe he is also a good businessman, but unfortunately he is "ambitious", he can't look down on his business background, and always wants to get ahead.

Princess Rui was accompanied by the prince, and took the seventeen princes out of the main gate of the palace, and was taken back to her mother's house by the two uncles.

The second lady, Shi Pingsu, also sat in a green cloth sedan chair, followed her maiden brother, went out from the back door of the palace, and returned to her parents' house.

Only the third lady, Chen Feng, sat on the kang in a daze after Ma Ming's family left.

Her mother's family didn't come to pick her up, and she didn't even plan to let her go back to her parents' house in the future.

Although my sister Da Chen felt sorry for her sister-in-law, she couldn't convince her mother's family, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Jin family, so it was very difficult for her to be caught in the middle. At this time, all she could do was to send Ma Ming's family, who was married to her, to bring a message to Chen Feng, and let Ma Ming's family quietly stuff a few gold bracelets to Mama Miao.

When there is not enough money on hand, the gold bracelet can be hinged as money.

"Is the one on the west gone?" Chen Feng asked lightly.

Zi Tao couldn't bear it, and brought a plate of silk candy over: "This nest of silk candy is very delicious, you can taste it." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Feng, who was still in a daze, had the spirit at this moment, and with a sweep of his sleeves, the nest candy in the pastel plate fell from the kang table to the ground, falling to pieces.

Mama Miao wanted to go over to persuade her, but Chen Feng hissed and shouted, "Get out for me, get out!" ”

Miao Mama sighed, and was worried about being heard by others, so she hurriedly pulled the purple pottery out, closed the mahogany carved wooden door tightly, and heard the sound of breaking things inside, she hurriedly put down the half-rolled emerald cotton curtains, looked around vigilantly, and saw that only two little maids who had just left their heads were throwing sandbags under the west porch, and she was relieved.

One-one-one-one
