Lunch was set up in Ruyi Xuan, Prince Rui was accompanied by his father-in-law Jin San, his uncle Jin Zifeng and two famous people in Beijing. The banquet was not contracted to the big restaurants in the capital, and all of them used the Jin family's own cooks. The palm-sized pastel plates are all Jiangnan dishes.

The banquet of the ladies is in the back cover, and Xiao Seventeen and the minor Jin Xian are also here. The banquet was divided into two tables and set up in the flower hall, and there were only four people at one table: Linglong, Mrs. Jin, Feng and Xiao Seventeen; Only three of the four aunts came, and they didn't see Aunt You Yinqiu, they sat at a table with Jin Yu and Jin Xian. Aunt Mei didn't go over, just like when she was a maid, standing beside Mrs. Jin and serving.

Linglong asked Aunt Mei idly: "Why didn't you see Aunt You?" But what's wrong with your health? ”

Aunt Mei smiled and said: "Sister You has become a registered disciple of the Pure Master of Shuiyue Nunnery, and now she is a monk at home, she has to avoid such a lively and festive day as today, and speaking of which, the concubine has not seen her for a few days." ”

Linglong smiled and said: "I heard that Master Qingjing doesn't accept named disciples casually, and I think it's also Aunt You and the Bodhisattva have a fate." ”

As she spoke, she said to Xingyu, who was standing behind her: "You help me remember, and when I go back, send my string of small-leaved rosewood Buddha beads to Changshuxuan." ”

Aunt Mei said: "Fifth Aunt and Grandma really have a heart, why don't I go and invite Sister You over here and say hello to you." ”

Linglong's gaze swept lightly from Mrs. Jin's unhappy face, and said: "It's all a family, how can you use this politeness, if she wants to say thank you, let her go to Siping Hutong to kowtow to Mrs. when she has time." ”

Aunt Mei was slightly stunned, but then said with a smile: "That's as it should be, the concubine told Sister You." Ask her to kowtow to his wife in Siping Hutong. ”

Listening to the ladies talking, Xiao Seventeen was already impatient, and he said to Linglong: "Can you let Sister Seven sit over?" I asked her to sit next to me. ”

The children's voice was so soft and crunchy that everyone in the room heard it. Everyone's eyes fell on Jin Yu.

Jin Yu was so embarrassed that she hurriedly lowered her head, the seventeenth master was young and ignorant, and he didn't know that this was unruly, and his grandmother would definitely blame her. She stayed with her fifth sister for a few more days. The grandmother said that she had forgotten her identity and that she was the same as her aunt.

Unexpectedly, I heard Mrs. Jin's voice full of joy and said kindly: "Look at it, the seventeenth master is so polite. Sister Yu'er, what are you still doing in a daze, come and feed the seventeenth master. ”

There were two little eunuchs standing beside Xiao Seventeen, hunched over to feed him. Xiao Seventeen just wanted Jin Yu to sit next to him, but Mrs. Jin directly asked Jin Yu to feed him.

This is what slaves do.

Although Jin Yu is a concubine. But she is also the daughter of the five-rank life officer, and her brother is also famous.

Mrs. Kim asked her to serve people. Although there is some disobedience, the one who is served is the prince, and there is nothing.

Jin Yu stood up silently with her head down, her face swollen and red.

The mother-in-law on the side hurriedly added a chair. Putting Jin Yu's dishes and chopsticks over again, Jin Yu just sat down, and heard Xiao Seventeen point to a plate of Biluo shrimp and say to the little eunuch behind him: "Give that dish clip to Sister Seven." Her favorite dish is stir-fried with leaves. ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Jin's words to let Jin Yu feed him would be gone.

Jin Yu hurriedly stood up and saluted. Linglong smiled and said: "The seventeenth master is here as a guest, it seems that he is a guest, Sister Yu doesn't have to get up to give gifts, let's watch him play treasure." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed, and the room was filled with joy, and the wrinkles on Mrs. Jin's face were piled up, and she was beaming.

Linglong thought of Jin Wan lying alone in Chunhui Hall, and she didn't know if she was seriously injured, since she was carried into Chunhui Hall, no one in the Jin family had ever mentioned this matter, as if it hadn't happened.

After lunch, Xuanji and Linlang were accompanied by their husbands, and came to Xifu to greet Mrs. Jin.

It's strange to say, last time at Linglong's birthday banquet, Xiao Seventeen and Brother Nan had a fight, this time they met, but the two seemed to be good brothers who had been separated for a long time, you stabbed me, I stabbed you, while the ladies were chatting, the two were going out to play, Linglong was busy letting the little eunuchs go out, but found that Brother Nan'er's nurse did not come, and he was followed by a mother-in-law who was born with eyes.

Thinking about the last time the nurse knelt in public, the lobby sister Xuanji knew that such a person who couldn't suppress things and didn't care about the importance couldn't stay with Brother Nan, otherwise it would only lead him crooked.

The banquet in the front yard was not over yet, and Dong Lian and Li Yue stayed in the front yard to drink together.

There are three companions to follow Yan Xu, Linglong is not worried about his face blindness, she doesn't know her mother's relatives, she is just afraid that Yan Xu will drink too much.

Although it was the first time she returned to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she had also heard that there was a rule for her aunt to drink, otherwise she would not have invited someone to accompany her.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mrs. Jin asked about Linlang's mother-in-law's family, Linglong quietly pulled Xuanji into the ear room, and asked directly: "The prince wants Brother Nan to follow His Highness Seventeen, but after all, Brother Nan is still young, if you are reluctant, Sister Lobby, I will go back." ”

The last time Yan Xu mentioned this matter, it was also in a tone of discussion, so Linglong said so.

Xuanji was stunned, Linglong thought she was feeling sudden, but she didn't expect Xuanji to say: "It's too coincidental, last time I went back, I told Xianggong about the fight between His Highness Seventeen and Brother Nan, and Xianggong said that Brother Nan was raised too arrogant, and it was difficult to be a big responsibility when he grew up, and he also said that while His Highness Seventeen lived in the Rui Wang's Mansion, let me often take Brother Nan over, and His Highness Seventeen was so close that he knew the etiquette of the monarch and ministers since he was a child, but he was busy with the New Year's affair for a while, and I didn't take care of it, I didn't think of it together." ”

In addition to the founding nobles who were deprived of their titles, there are also those who have no descendants like the Yong'an Hou Feng family, the Jing'an Hou Mao family has held military power for many years and has been stationed in Fujian, but since the year before last was escorted back to Beijing, although there is no punishment, but it will never be the same again. Nowadays, except for the Zhenguo Gong Gu family, most of the other noble families live on the ancestral shade like Jian'anbo Mansion, and they can't afford to live well. Although their children can also get errands, only the Gan family and the Dong family are doing well.

Yan Xu, as the concubine of Emperor Jingwen, was originally cooked in oil, and the vassal king was forbidden to form a party for personal gain, and he could not make friends with courtiers.

Linglong had long heard Yan Xu say that Dong Guanqing, the prince of Linjiang, was his person, and Dong Lian and Dong Guanqing had always been close, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Rui Wangfu.

At present, one of the Dong family brothers is in Jinyiwei and the other is in Jinwuwei, although they are only five-rank military attachés, they all hold real power in the upper twelve guards.

Linglong said: "Brother-in-law is really far-sighted, then please ask the eldest sister to discuss with the in-laws and the wife after she goes back, give me a quasi-word, and I can also reply to the prince, maybe the queen will also say something." ”

Xuanji responded with a smile, but asked quietly, "Is there something wrong in the house?" When I came in just now, I saw that the fourth uncle was stopped at the weeping flower gate, saying that it was ordered by the old lady, but the fourth uncle did not obey, and the Jin Lu family went out to tell him in person. ”

One-one-one-one
