Chapter Ninety-Nine: Breakfast
Mrs. Jin was not there two days ago, so during breakfast today, together with Jin Min, who usually eats in Moliuzhai, also came, except for Jin Yuan, who was grounded, the masters of the West Mansion came.
Everyone sat down according to the rules, Mrs. Jin sat at one table with Jin Min, Jiao's, Jin Zifeng and Linglong, and Song Xiuzhu and the three aunts sat at the other table with Jin Xian and Jin Yu.
Among the three biological sons, Mrs. Jin is the most beloved by Jin Min, but none of Jin Min's children can look down on her. In the eyes of Mrs. Jin, her outstanding son Jin Min is because he married Feng Wanrong, a mourning star, and even a few children are not as good as the other rooms.
Jin Zifeng only came back from Zhuangzi yesterday, and he also came to Chunhui Hall to greet Mrs. Jin in the evening, and was blocked from the door like everyone else.
As soon as he sat down, he stood up and said to Mrs. Jin: "The schoolwork of Shude Academy is coming to an end, and the master here has given the four of us ten days off, originally I wanted to stay in the academy and ask the master for some knowledge. Yesterday, my grandmother was not in the house, so my children and grandchildren can say hello to your old man. ”
Last night, Mrs. Jin had sent Haitang to ask who had come to ask for peace, and the news of Jin Zifeng's return was naturally known, and when she saw Jin Zifeng today, she was too lazy to agree, but she heard him mention the prince of Zhenguo, and her heart moved, Mrs. Jin has been in Jiangsu for many years, but she has also heard of Zhenguogong.
"You kid, you don't let people bring a word in advance when you come back from the Zhuangzi, if it weren't for those girls who said that you also came to say hello last night, my grandmother wouldn't know that my good grandson has returned. The prince of Zhenguo you said is the Gu family? ”
Jin Zifeng nodded: "Exactly." ”
Linglong was secretly happy in her heart, her brother really knew how to figure out his thoughts, just the five words "Zhenguo Gongshizi" made the old lady impressed.
She peeked at her father again, only to see that Master Jin San was stunned and asked, "You mean that the two people who came with you yesterday are from the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”
He had dinner out with his colleagues yesterday and came back late, and he only heard from the waiter that the third master and two friends came back together, and the two friends sat down for a while and left. At that time, he only thought that he was the other two seniors who traveled with Jin Zifeng. If it weren't for Jin Zifeng talking about it now, I really didn't expect that one of the people who came would be the prince of Zhenguo.
"What my father said is exactly what I said, the person who came yesterday was Gu Shizi from the Zhenguo Mansion. Because his grandmother and father were not in the house yesterday, the son only chatted with Gu Shizi about some poetry and articles, and did not leave him for dinner. ”
Jin Min showed displeasure on his face: "Although the Duke of Zhenguo is a powerful minister today, after all, he is from a martial arts background, I heard that Gu Shizi is the one who dislikes poetry and books the most, since you have made friends with him, you must not learn his style of squirming." I remember that the next time he comes to the house again, you will let people go to the yamen to inform me, how can there be a reason for a guest to come and not see the master's family. ”
Jin Zifeng hurriedly lowered his hand and said, "My son knows." ”
Jin Min snorted and said, "Sit down and eat." ”
Mrs. Jin scolded Jin Minlai with a smile: "You are a father, as soon as you meet, you will reprimand your son, the Gu family is not only the head of the nobles, but also the relatives of the emperor, the son of their family, even if it is not good at poetry and books, what does it matter, not to mention the title of the ancestors, that is, his brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law, any one is not an ordinary person, a person like him, I don't know how many children of the family want to make friends with him, he can come to our Jin family as a guest, since he has a high look at the Jin family, Brother Feng can make friends with him, you should be happy, how can there be any reason to complain." “
Jin Min said again and again that the maids had already put breakfast together at this time, and the family did not say anything more.
Linglong couldn't help but let herself laugh, she found that her laughter in this life was very low, and she wanted to laugh at every turn, maybe it was because she was still young.
In short, she just wants to laugh very much now, her brother is still very powerful, but just when she moves out of Gu Jinzhi, her grandmother and father's attitudes have all changed.
One is still a Taoist tone, disgusted that people don't like poetry and books, but he wants to meet this gentleman in person; The other one is much more straightforward, and directly writes joy on his face, and can catch up with Gu Shizi, which is not in vain You are a descendant of the Jin family.
Linglong Jue was funny, worried that she would laugh, so she had to eat with her head down, but she heard Mrs. Jin say to Jin Min with disgust: "Look at Sister Long, it's like she hasn't eaten in a few lifetimes, so people can see it, and they think we are harsh on her." ”
Hearing this, Linglong simply put down the chopsticks, looked at the glutinous rice siu mai that he had bitten into the plate in a daze, and Jiao Shi on the side saw it and asked, "Sister Long, why don't you eat it?" ”
Linglong was pitiful: "My niece is afraid that if she eats it again, she will lose her grandmother's face." ”
Although her voice was not high, the words were clear, and Mrs. Jin could hear it clearly, and immediately pointed at her and said to Jin Min: "Listen, you listen, I just said a few words, and she gave me a face, and she really is the same as her mother." ”
Jin Min frowned and reprimanded: "Sister Long, don't make your grandmother angry, don't make it easier to compensate." ”
Linglong stood up and said to Mrs. Jin: "It's the granddaughter's mistake, the granddaughter is cooking." ”
Mrs. Jin was about to punish Linglong for starving, but before she could speak, she heard Jin Zifeng say: "Grandmother, father, when the child came back, the son of the Xu family also asked me to ask about Sister Long's illness. Because that Dr. Li once said that the lack of qi and blood in the girl's family can be big or small. ”
Old Lady Jin frowned when she heard this, and said: "That Xu family is too, it should have been a long time ago to come to the door to propose, but after such a long delay, and it has to wait until around the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know what they think." ”
Speaking of which, the hall was quiet for a while, what else could the Xu family think, it wasn't because of the incident that Jin Yuan made during the Dragon Boat Festival, which scared the Xu family, for fear that they would really come to propose, and the Jin family forced a concubine to pass over, so when the matter calmed down, it was officially proposed.
Mrs. Jin glanced at Linglong a few times and said, "Let's continue to eat, so as not to let the Xu family talk in the future, thinking that your mother's family is harsh on you, so that you lack qi and blood and make a body full of disasters and diseases." ”
Linglong thanked her, sat down and continued to eat, she was not pretending, but now is the time for her to grow her body, and she has to secretly practice every day, and the amount of exercise is large, and the amount of food is also large.
