Zheng went out to pack some things for his aunt's wife, Luo Qiu sat close to her mother, chattering non-stop, she took Lin Ke and Lin Yao back to her parents' house today, one is to visit her parents and relatives during the holidays, and the other is to complain to Mrs. Luo: the eldest daughter Lin Jue is not worried about it, her son Lin Ke studies hard, and the younger daughter Lin Yao is even more sick for several days because of her cousin Luo Fang's family relationship, and she is so thin that she can't look good, and the family spends a lot of silver to ask for her to take medicine for her, and many medicinal materials can't be bought if you want to...... I was not good in my own right, and if I tossed up and down like this, I was almost tired and sick!

Mrs. Luo felt sorry for her daughter, so naturally she would not really make her daughter tired and sick, so she immediately called the Jin family to come to her and said: "You have two or three pharmacies in your hand, all kinds of medicinal materials are complete, and the business has always been excellent. Yao'er's illness is also for Fang'er, you should have taken care of it more-you instructed the pharmacy shopkeeper, Mrs. Ming'er to go over and bring medicinal materials, just pick the best and take it out, don't slack off! ”

Jin paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Mother thinks she forgot?" There are also a lot of delicious medicinal materials in the warehouse in the house, which I put into the warehouse by hand, and now the account books are all in the sister-in-law's place. I remember having ginseng and reishi for decades...... There are also a lot of supplements, and there are also blood swallows! I don't eat it, I'm afraid it will get wet after a long time, so why don't I use it for Mrs. Gu and Yao'er to make up for my body first, right? Oh, a lot of coarse grains brought back from Chizhou a few years ago, saying that Dongshan rice grains are very nourishing to the body, but I can eat too much, my mother is tired of the mouth, and I replaced it with polished rice that I was used to eating in the past, why don't I send some to my aunt? There are still a few catties of dried lion's mane mushrooms, and the prince doesn't eat much now, isn't it ......?"

Old Madam Luo glanced at the Jin family: "What is in the warehouse in the house, I know it in my heart!" Even if you came in by hand, it also took a lot of silver for kilometers! The old and the young in the family, and you have to keep it for some emergencies in the future, you have it in the pharmacy, let Mrs. Gu take it first! ”

"Mother is right, daughter-in-law knows!"

Jin lowered her head and agreed, secretly hating in her heart, and wanted to persuade Luo Qiu to go to get the medicine tomorrow, and after a while, she would send someone to the pharmacy to inform the shopkeeper: hide the expensive and good medicinal materials in advance! Sister-in-law for many years, she knows this aunt deeply, she is insatiable, and she is never soft on people! Mrs. Fang Gu entered the pharmacy and let her choose her own medicinal materials, which was not enough for her to catch!

Luo Qiu was satisfied, his face was proud, and he didn't care about eating the main meal, so when the Zheng family came back and said that the things for Mrs. Gu had been packed and sent to the carriage, he coaxed Mrs. Luo a few words with kind words, and took Lin Yao to say goodbye and go back.

Mrs. Luo understood that her daughter wanted to bring back the zongzi, so that the eldest daughter could save face at her mother-in-law's place, so she didn't keep it much, but only told the mother and daughter to return to the mansion when they were free.

Lin Ke just followed his grandfather and a few cousins to the outer courtyard, and sent someone over to tell him to wait at the second gate.

Seeing Luo Qiu leaving in a hurry, the Jin family secretly said that it was not good, worried that Luo Qiu would run to his own pharmacy today to search indiscriminately, and wanted to send a grandmother out of the house, but the old lady Luo only had to talk to her, and the Jin family couldn't get out, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Jinxiu is not interested in the interaction between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, and there is really nothing to pass the time, so she just sits aside and listens to Ma's discussion of parenting, which can also relieve boredom.

Luo Shu sat aside, and from time to time he also interjected two sentences, asking curiously, Ma's patient answer, but Jinxiu pretended not to understand, only listened and did not squeak, let alone take Luo Shu's tone.

As soon as Lin Yao left, Luo Yan came to Luo Shu's side, she just didn't hear it, but Jinxiu could always feel that there were two poisonous snake-like malicious gazes, waiting for an opportunity to attack her.

This malice naturally came from Luo Yan's side, Luo Yan was already hostile to Jinxiu, a while ago for the people who wanted to get close to the Nan'an County Palace, listened to the Jin family's persuasion and reluctantly Jinxiu set almost, but now the good thing has not been done, but let the rival Jia Hui rob the Nan'an County Palace princess concubine, Luo Yan can be said to be full of hatred and anger at the moment, full of resentment, secretly rubbing and aiming at Jinxiu, eager to turn anger into a sharp arrow, shoot Jinxiu into a sieve!

Fortunately, there is no need to sit with the two sisters for a long time, Luo Qiu's mother and son said goodbye for a while, and another guest entered the house, this time it was a girl who had never seen Jinxiu, Zheng's maiden niece, Zheng Liu's girl, Luo Fang's fiancée!

After receiving the report, the Zheng family was very happy and wanted to go to the second gate in person to greet them, and Mrs. Luo was also very face-saving, so that the Jin family led the Ma family and Jinxiu, Luo Shu and Luo Yan to welcome the second hall together!

Miss Zheng Liu is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, dignified and beautiful, her facial features are a little like Zheng's, her round face has not faded and her baby fat has not faded, she is wearing a goose yellow embroidered shirt, and a jade-colored eight-piece Luo skirt, which looks like a group of harmony, like the old people often say, it is very blessed.

Miss Zheng Liu smiled when she saw people, gentle and soft, and likable, and it was even more rare that she was born with a clever mouth and a crisp and sweet voice, which made Mrs. Luo laugh in a few words, and she only hugged her in her arms and was reluctant to let go.

The nephew came, and the old lady was so pleased, Zheng's mood was not ordinarily good, and he also went closer to join in the fun, the aunt and nephew sang and harmonized, and said cross talk, which made Mrs. Luo very happy and extremely happy.

Jinxiu saw that Luo Shu and Luo Yan reacted calmly, and she was not indifferent to the future second young grandmother, and guessed in her heart that maybe the friendship between this Zheng Liu girl and their sisters was far less close than that of the cousins of the Lin family and the Jin family.

Looking around, he found that the Jin family was not in the hall, and asked the Ma family casually: "Miss Zheng Liu can be regarded as a coquettish guest, the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, the old lady and the eldest lady are so happy, why do the third wife avoid it?" ”

Ma Shi smiled: "Look at what you said, how can there be such a thing? Mrs. is under the porch outside, and she will say a few words to her grandmother, and she will come soon! ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I saw Jin walking in from outside the hall door, with a smile on his face, as if relieved.

Jinxiu thought of Jin's expression when Luo Qiu left just now, her heart moved, she excused herself to change her clothes, walked out of the hall, beckoned Jiang Yan who was standing under the corridor, and whispered a few words in her ear, Jiang Yan took the order and left.

Jinxiu pursed the corners of her lips: Although he was a little hindsight, he only remembered to tell Luo Song at this time, but didn't he Luo Song have a secret guard? Isn't the Dark Guard very capable? He wanted to find more than ten or twenty bottles of jade snow cream for Aunt Ye, and it was not good to rob his wife's pharmacy, but now that Mrs. Gu was the pioneer, Luo Song could send a secret guard to fish in the water, and when the medicine shop found that there was so much less jade snow ointment, he would only think that Mrs. Gu took it!

In this way, the Jin family will face up to Mrs. Gu, and in the future, if they find out about Aunt Ye's eccentricity, they will also shift the target and fire at Luo Song and Aunt Ye!

It is up to several of them to go to dog-eat-dog and pull each other's skin, no matter how lively and playful it is, it's none of their business, just don't see Luo Song's dead skin and face to find themselves to make jade snow cream, just do it!

Walking back to the hall, Miss Zheng Liu was distributing gifts, and there was another list of gifts for the house, here were additional small gifts for the old lady, the two wives, the young grandmother, and the girls!

Everyone else received the gifts, and when Miss Zheng Liu saw Jinxiu coming in, she took a small brocade box and offered it with both hands, smiling shyly and generous, and her tone was very sincere: "This pair of Pisces Peiyu is a special trip to choose, and I also asked the senior monk of Yukunshan Temple to recite the blessing scriptures and bless them, and send them to the three grandmothers, may the three grandmothers be healthy and happy, and smile often!" ”

Jinxiu said politely: "Why are you embarrassed to ask for a girl's gift?" ”

Miss Zheng Liu insisted on giving: "I went to my grandmother's house in Suzhou with my mother some time ago, and I haven't returned until now, and I'm worried that I'm estranged from my sisters!" There is a jade Kunshan in Suzhou, and my mother said that the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple on the mountain are extremely effective, so I specially brought back these small jade pieces that were consecrated in front of the Buddha by the high monks for the sisters, which can keep the peace and bring blessings to the third grandmother...... It's my heart! ”

Zheng also came over to help speak: "The real daughter-in-law will take it, it will become a family in the future, and the days of getting along will be long!" ”

Jinxiu didn't shirk anymore, thanked him, took the brocade box and handed it to Xiangcha, thinking that one day he would take advantage of her birthday or something, just send a gift back.

With the well-spoken and well-behaved Miss Zheng Liu, the attention of Mrs. Luo and the Zheng family was on her, and the laughter in the hall continued, and time passed quite quickly.

Finally when it was time to pass the meal, Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked forward to finishing the meal, so as to hurry back to the Baoding Marquis Mansion, I always felt uncomfortable staying in the Guogong Mansion, bored, and I was not in the mood to walk around in the house, and she didn't even go to see the Chengfeng Courtyard where she lived during the New Year.

However, the caretaker took care of the yard, and Mother Sun brought a few servants to kowtow to her, and let the fragrant tea be rewarded one by one.

The banquet for the family reunion is still set up in the big flower hall, divided into male and female seats, separated by open-carved five blessings auspicious partitions, and the concubines also have a table, but they must first stand beside their own mothers to serve, and get permission before they can go back to the banquet and eat.

There are several men in the Chengguo Mansion, except for Chengguo Gong, Luo Zhen and Luo Rong, who have no concubines, the other three have them, Luo Song has a noble concubine, Luo Duan has two good concubines, each has children, Luo Fang's Jiang concubine never shows up, it is said that she is disgusted by the Jin family and is not allowed to come out, but she actually came tonight!

Ma was probably impatient to take care of the children born to the two concubines, and only let them take care of the children themselves, and they didn't have to wait for her; Jin's was silent, and Ye stood behind her to make vegetables and soup, and Ye's cloth was filled with soup, she didn't move, her own little girl took it, and then the big girl who was close to her made another dish before she ate it!

Concubine Jiang should have been instructed by someone to come over to serve Miss Zheng Liu, but she was stopped by the mother-in-law next to the Zheng family and told her to sit honestly on her own table!

Concubine Jiang's face was pale, she bit her lip, and her complaining and mournful gaze looked through the screen and looked straight at the men's seat outside.

Miss Zheng Liu also quietly looked at the men's seat from the corner of her eyes, her face was a little nervous, Zheng patted her hand comfortingly, and whispered something, Miss Zheng Liu blushed, lowered her head and snickered.

The men in the men's seat were behaving very well at the moment, not squinting and not looking at the women's seat.

This house also pays attention to food and sleep, but the meaning should be different from that of the Shili House: the younger generation is good to say, maintaining an elegant and calm eating appearance, the grandfather of the country will not dare to compliment, the wind will drive the remnants of the clouds to fill the stomach first, and then come slowly, tastefully taste a few small wines!

Luo Song drank two glasses of wine, and was persuaded by Luo Duan: "Father should take care of your body, you are not well at this time, and the imperial doctor said that it is not appropriate to drink more!" ”

Grandpa Guo said: "I don't know about other wines, but this wine is very different!" Didn't you say that the lion's mane mushroom can relieve pain and how effective it is? To be honest, I neither like the smell of lion's mane mushrooms nor feel its benefits! But this wine, the special secret brew of Zhen'er's filial piety, I have drunk it many times, and the dark wounds hidden in my body for most of my life, the swelling and soreness that occur every cloudy day, seem to be all good! Song'er, didn't you get a jar last time? You might as well drink a small cup a day and drink it slowly, it should be better than Lion's Mane mushroom! ”

Grandpa Guo's voice was loud and full of energy, and the people in the entire hall could hear it clearly, and when the words fell, all the men and women looked at Luo Zhen and Jinxiu, as if they had that kind of wine hidden on them!

Luo Zhen was calm as usual, and his hand in the splendid vegetables paused, and he was very speechless: This old man Luo, are you eating and drinking? So many mouths! Come on, I'll give you something usual, a hundred fruit wine or something, don't even think about it!

Luo Song coughed, turned his head through the partition, and saw that other concubines could sit down and eat, and the Ye family still had to stand behind the Jin family to make rules, and he didn't know what it would be like to be hungry!

He didn't have a reason to catch fire, he didn't want to say it, but he simply vomited it quickly: "Back to my father, Zhen'er sent that jar of wine, and my son knew that it was a rare wine, which could soothe muscles and bones, nourish and nourish the body, so he sent someone to send it to Ye's mother's house to honor the elders!" ”

Grandpa Guo: "......"

The corners of Ye's lips curled, her smile was light but full of sweetness, she quickly turned her face sideways and sent a passionate glance at Luo Song!

Luo Shu and Luo Yan on the other side looked at it, one had a cold look, and the other had a pair of eyes that breathed fire, and she couldn't wait to stare out her eyes!

Kim raised a silk handkerchief to wipe her lips to cover her distorted face, but her clenched hands trembled slightly, and her gloomy and reddened eyes revealed the pain and hatred in her heart.

The Ye family is just a concubine, what kind of elder is the Ye family? He is the head of the lady, his mother's family is his father-in-law's family, and he should be a filial elder! Why, he actually ...... Such a merciless slap in the face, Luo Song, what the hell does he want to do? For a lowly concubine, do you want to break with her husband and wife?

Jin lowered his head and blinked, a few tears fell, and Chu Chu shouted pitifully to Mrs. Luo: "Mother! ”

Mrs. Luo didn't get the benefits of the Jin family on weekdays, and at this time she also felt that her son was too much, and she was going to say something for the Jin family, but she raised her eyes and saw that the Ye family was still standing there, and saw her son with a black face, and her eyes frequently swept over to this side.

"You, too, are the mother of several children, this arrogant temper has to be changed, don't end up being a jealous woman, like what? Song'er has been married to you for many years, how he loves you, I watch! You shouldn't think about him, it was Xuelian before, the best person in front of me, you can't tolerate it, what do you and Song'er say about you? Now that the Ye family is a noble concubine, it was Grandpa Guo who personally pointed it out to Song'er, serving her closely, and also teaching Song'er to recover as soon as possible, isn't this for your good? Don't you know what to do, you should treat the Ye family well! (To be continued.) )
