The little girls were very happy to get together, and they couldn't stop talking, and they went to gather around the table to talk about hip-hop, and she accompanied the ladies and grandmothers to drink refreshments in the hall, and talked about gossip topics that were of more adult concern.

The kitchens in the house are busy preparing dishes, in addition to the delicious dishes made of Dongtian materials today, Jinxiu has made several novel and unique snacks for the girls, among which the cream ice cream named "snow cheese" by Jinyun is not only very favored by the girls, but also several young grandmothers in Xufu have appreciated and praised, although the Duchess of Ningguo likes this cold and sweet taste, but she thinks it is too cold, only tasted two bites, and persuaded Tian to eat less, don't eat bad stomach is not good for children, although the two milk dolls have nurses, Tian himself also feeds milk, so he has to avoid it.
It was almost noon, someone from the front yard reported that the Hou Ye had returned to the house, and had ordered a feast to be placed, and the male guests had almost arrived, and the old lady, the old man, the second master, and the fourth master of the Guogong Mansion over there had all come!
Jinxiu asked Xiangzhi to prepare hot water and hot towels for the ladies and grandmothers to clean their hands and faces, and they could sit at the table.
Duchess Ning Guo quietly squeezed Jinxiu's hand: "Wait a little longer, someone will come later!" ”
Jinxiu said: "That's all there is to our women's seats, if there are still people coming, it is also the men's seats in the front yard, it's none of our business." ”
Duchess Ning Guo pointed in the direction of the Chengguo Mansion: "Aren't they coming?" ”
Jinxiu said: "I didn't invite them!" My mother's family has been busy since they came to the capital, and they have not had time to formally invite, today my mother came to the Hou Mansion, if I specially invited them, I am afraid that it will be difficult for both sides to meet! ”
Duchess Ning Guo sighed: "This is also true, alas! Don't pay attention to so much, you just have to persuade your mother, daughter and son-in-law, and nothing else! ”
"Well, as I said, my mother figured it out."
"That's good." Duchess Ning Guo said softly again: "Didn't Zhen'er tell you? The people of the Liu family are coming today? ”
Jinxiu paused: "He said it, I thought it was ...... Maybe I didn't hear it clearly, could it be that there are still female guests? ”
"Of course, there is!" Duchess Ning Guo stretched her sleeves: "The prince told me about the day of the Double Ninth Festival. Yesterday, Mrs. Liu San came to my house and asked me to be a big matchmaker for the two families! ”
Jinxiu was stunned for a moment: "Mrs. Co-author came today, did the Liu family invite you to come first?" ”
Duchess Ning Guo nodded: "Exactly!" ”
"Mrs. Liu San, is Liu Fu's mother?"
"It's my aunt, Liu Fu's mother, Mrs. Liu, was a famous talented woman when she was young, with a very high temperament, and rarely came out to socialize, I only knew her, and I was not familiar with her, but Mrs. Liu San often met."
Jinxiu was very sorry: "I didn't expect something like that, I thought I'd talk to you about it later, but I didn't expect it...... It's really sad that this thing is still tiring you! ”
Duchess Ning Guo said: "Silly boy, no one wants to make such an accident, even if you don't say it, I will ask, so it's just right." It's just that there is no distinction between the truth and falsehood of this family affair, and Jinyun will be somewhat wronged in the future. ”
"In the future, I can't take care of it for the time being, and if I don't want to enter the palace, I can only do this! Speaking of grievances, it was Liu Fu who was wronged, Jinyun is still young, and after three or a few years, he will discuss marrying his relatives separately, and it will not be affected too much...... It's because we're getting involved! ”
"You can't say that, he's ...... Alas, it's not our fault anyway! ”
"Now I can only think like this, Mrs. Liu just has a grudge against us."
"Don't worry about this, the century-old family of the Liu Mansion, the scholarly fragrance, the ladies who marry into the door, I don't dare to say the juniors, as far as the few Mrs. Liu I have seen, all of them are very gentle and humble."
"The Liu family...... How many ladies are there? ”
"Well, the Liu family's family rules, men are not allowed to take concubines at will, and only those who have no children can have a concubine if they are forty years old, so the population relationship of the Liu family is not complicated. The old lady is still there, Mrs. Tai has been dead for several years, there are three people, the big house and the eldest lady have two sons, Liu Fu is their second son, there is an elder brother Liu Jian, who has been married for a few years, and Grandma Liu gave birth to a girl. The second lady passed away due to illness, and the second room master has not yet renewed, and has a pair of teenage daughters. The third lady of the third room, Fei, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and now it is this Fei who is in charge of the Liu Mansion. ”
"Oh, Mrs. Liu doesn't like to take care of things?"
"That's right, this Mrs. Liu refuses to take care of housework and doesn't like to socialize, the female red needlework doesn't do anything, and she only loves to read and write poetry! She is talented, I heard that her knowledge is even higher than that of Master Liu! Well, she is the best at painting, and the calligraphy that came out, the calligraphy painted red by the nobles in Beijing, almost all of them use Mrs. Liu's! ”
Jinxiu couldn't help but be speechless, I didn't expect Liu Fu's mother to be so educated.
"This Mrs. Liu is a strange woman, and strange women usually like to do their own thing, and it is also a shame that she is married to the scholarly heirloom Liu Mansion."
"Isn't it? Counting these talented women I have seen, they are not very satisfactory after getting married, this Mrs. Liu has a good life, marries into Liu's mansion, and respects and respects Mr. Liu as a guest, and is harmonious, the most important thing is that she has a stomach, and she has two sons in one breath, and one is more smart and handsome than the other, the old lady and Mrs. Liu are also satisfied, do not demand from her, and go as she likes. When Mrs. Liu waited for her eldest son to be sixteen years old, and her second son to be thirteen or fourteen years old, she went to a mountain villa hundreds of miles outside the city to recuperate, and rarely returned to the city. ”
"She doesn't care about her family or her son, doesn't Master Liu say anything?"
"It can't be said that she doesn't care about her sons, her sons are usually in front of their grandparents and grandmothers, if they miss their mother, you can find her, it's Master Liu, and she often takes a carriage and horse to the villa to see Mrs., Mrs. Liu doesn't go back to the city if she has nothing to do!"
Duchess Ning Guo said that she also felt funny, and said: "It is also because of such a mother who is not involved in mundane affairs that the brothers of the Liu family will not get married for a long time - no one Zhang Luo!" Mrs. Liu never counted on Mrs. Liu, and before she died, she entrusted her grandson's marriage to Mrs. Liu, but unfortunately Mrs. Liu was also weak and sickly, and she died not long after, but she married Mrs. Liu before she died. Mrs. Liu's third wife, Fei, is young, and she also has two children to take care of, so she has no time to take care of Liu Fu. ”
"Speaking of which, the Liu family is not too complicated."
"Well, the Liu family is based in the old capital, there are more people over there, and this one is relatively quiet."
While the two were talking, they saw Lin Shuiqing's family come in and report: The two wives of the Liu family are here! (To be continued.) )
