Chapter 217: Temptation
The Chen family didn't want Concubine Chen to interfere in Chen Feng's family affairs, but Chen Feng fell into the eyes of the queen.
Linglong didn't care, she was the twentieth birthday of the twentieth month of the lunar month. Her birthday is at the bottom of the year, whether it is a large family or a small family, it is the busiest time. According to the rules of the Jin family, the junior's birthday after the first birthday will not be carried out in a big way, but those who have mothers will also celebrate their children, at least there are longevity noodles and red eggs.
Feng is so sick that he doesn't know anyone, so he won't give Linglong a birthday. However, the maids in her house were collecting money early in the morning to celebrate the birthday of Miss Five, and even Mother Bear also made up a part.
Linglong didn't want to celebrate her birthday, but seeing that the maids were so enthusiastic, she didn't want to ruin their good intentions, so she added five taels of silver, a total of eight taels, and asked Xingyu to take it to the kitchen to order a banquet.
Since Mrs. Jin came, each house and courtyard of the Jin family have customized, three meals a day are sent from the kitchen, if you want to pass the meal in your own small kitchen, you will fold the silver, from the big kitchen to receive the ingredients, but they are also customized, if each courtyard wants to add their own dishes, they have to count the silver.
Linglong simply wanted to let Mrs. Jin know that she was close to Haitang, and asked Xi'er to invite Juying and Haitang to Chunhui Hall, and to Zhilanxuan to invite Coral and Jin Yu, as for the other three, Jin Yuan, Jin Wan and Jin Xian, she didn't invite any of them.
Mrs. Jin heard the maids whispering behind the curtain, so she asked what was the matter, and Ju Ying replied with a smile: "Today, the fifth lady is on her birthday, please me and Haitang over, but there are only little maids by your side, and we are not at ease." ”
Old Lady Jin frowned: "When did you two get so good with the five girls?" ”
She asked Juying again, who Linglong had invited.
Juying has always done things safely, and when Xi'er came to invite her, she asked carefully, and immediately told Mrs. Jin about inviting Miss Seven and Miss Nine, as well as her and Begonia.
"Haitang and I are both stained with the light of the old lady, and Miss Fifth called the two of us up, because our sisters are from Chunhui Hall."
Old Lady Jin snorted and said, "Let you go, I have a bunch of people here." Neither is it worse than the two of you. ”
When Juying came back in the evening, Mrs. Jin asked her in detail who had gone and who had sent something.
Ju Ying said: "Miss Seven and Miss Nine have always been friends with Miss Five. They had already arrived, Miss Seven gave two pairs of winter socks, and Miss Nine gave a small clay figurine Zhang, a set of seven. Even the personal maids of the two of them gave Miss Five a handkerchief purse. Sister Haitang gave Miss Five a handkerchief, and I gave two boxes of tea. Sister Begonia may not be prepared. I was blushing at the time. Fortunately, Miss Five didn't seem to care. ”
Mrs. Jin was displeased, Ju Ying and Begonia were both taught by her, these two people are measured in their work, why does Begonia seem to be reckless and unprepared. Since the five girls have been favored by the Zhenguo Mansion, they will be the identity of the prince in the future, and Haitang is the big girl of Chunhui Hall, and it is not as generous as the maid next to Jin Yu, and her actions this time are too undignified.
"Is it just you, and no one else?" Mrs. Jin asked.
Ju Ying hesitated, thought for a while, and said, "It's strange. I asked Xi'er, and Xi'er really didn't send an invitation to Changshuxuan, but the three of them all sent things over. Aunt Zhao sent a set of silver heads, estimated to be twenty taels, Aunt You sent a box of lake pens, and Aunt Li sent the twelve-colored silk thread of Cailan Pavilion. This lake pen and silk thread are not cheap, and the handwriting of the three aunts is not small. ”
Mrs. Jin sneered when she heard this: "I'll just say, these three are not fuel-efficient lamps, take advantage of this time to tie up the five girls, and the Song family is gone." They just want to take the lead. What about the room in Moliuju, did she send something over? ”
Ju Ying shook her head: "Miss Lixiang didn't send anyone over, speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a while, since Aunt Song left." Miss Lixiang doesn't seem to have stayed in the ink. ”
Two days later, when Linglong came to Chunhui Hall to greet Mrs. Jin, she suddenly talked about Begonia: "Grandmother, my yard is full of little girls, a few days ago I celebrated my birthday, and invited Juying and Begonia two sisters to come over. I think that there is really a lack of someone in my house who can handle it, Sister Juying, I don't dare to think about it, if my grandmother is willing, can I let Sister Begonia go to me and help me adjust the tune and help me adjust the tunes. ”
Mrs. Jin sneered in her heart, this five girls really can't hold her. As soon as Song and Jiao left, her young lady was revealed, not only did the little girls make up their own part to celebrate her birthday, but even the three aunts had to slap her. It's that Begonia gave the gift thinly, and didn't put her in her eyes, and the five girls said that they were not annoyed, but they must have a grudge in their hearts, so they wanted to get Begonia over to rectify it.
Little hoof, you are still a little tender, I really think that the people I have taught by my old man are soft eggs, and they can be kneaded by you, but you reminded me that I should have put someone next to you a long time ago.
Just begonias
"It's really not okay for you to have little girls in the house, and when the New Year is over, I'll let Silver Leaf pass." Yinye is also a second-class maid in Chunhui Hall, but she can't say a word of official words, and she rarely walks out of Chunhui Hall after arriving in the capital.
Linglong saw that Mrs. Jin never mentioned Begonia, so she knew that what she guessed in advance was true, and Mrs. Jin wanted to give Begonia to the third or fourth master.
She had an agreement with Begonia, she just mentioned this matter, and as for Mrs. Jin asking Begonia to follow her, it was up to Begonia to figure it out by herself.
Linglong smiled and thanked her grandmother, then left Chunhui Hall and went to Dongfu.
Now it is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and she thought that Chen Feng had returned to the New Year, but she didn't expect Chen Feng to be in Fangzhai.
"Fifth Sister Jin, I thought you weren't coming, and I wanted to send someone to Xifu to see you."
Linglong was confused, Chen Feng seemed to be waiting for her. Although she and Chen Feng are more familiar than before, Chen Feng has a bit of the arrogance of a woman in the family, and she is older than her, although she seems to be approachable, she always has a slight alienation, and she has never been so affectionate as she is now.
"Grandmother was in the hall, and I sat down a little longer when I went to say goodbye. But Sister Chen waited for a long time. ”
She originally thought that even if Chen Feng had something to do with her, she would be polite as usual, but she didn't expect Chen Feng to get straight to the point, thinking that she was a child, and there was no need to go around in circles with her.
"I heard that Fifth Sister Jin just had her birthday a few days ago, and I knew that you were so young, and you had just turned twelve years old, it was rare that you were so sensible, no wonder the Seventh Princess also invited you over during the birthday banquet. By the way, how could Fifth Sister Jin know the Seventh Imperial Princess? ”
Linglong's mind was like a white horse, thinking of the rumors that Xingyu heard, since people treat her as a child, then she is simply young and ignorant, and she has no words.
"When I first came to the capital, how could I know the Seventh Imperial Princess, it was Miss Gu Qi from the Zhenguo Mansion who asked me to go, and she and the Seventh Imperial Concubine are sisters."
"Miss Gu Qi? Gu Yanran? I didn't expect that Jin Wu's sister actually knew her. ”
Snorting, Linglong seemed to smell a sour smell.
