Approaching the dormitory for the female guests to rest, Linglong saw the second sister-in-law Huan's second grandmother from a distance, obviously the eldest aunt Nie came with her second daughter-in-law.

In the past, it was Yan's grandmother Chen who often served by Nie's side, maybe it was because Chen wanted to preside over the feed, or maybe it was for other reasons, Linglong hadn't seen Nie take Chen with her for a long time.

Zhang and Linglong greeted each other and whispered: "Mother was worried about causing inconvenience to the fifth aunt and grandmother, so she didn't come out to greet her, don't mind the fifth aunt and grandmother." ”

The people who come and go here are the ladies of the capital, Nie is a businessman, and she has a wide range of contacts, if she is seen coming out to greet a young woman in person, she can guess that this is Princess Rui with her toes.

Although Zhang's background is very good, after all, he is a family that has long declined, and his speech and demeanor always have a hint of cowardice, which is much worse than the calm and generous Chen.

But Linglong has a good relationship with her second cousin Jin Zihuan, and even with a little affection for this sister-in-law, she said happily to Zhang: "The second sister-in-law has been waiting here for a long time, the weather is hot, you come in quickly, don't be polite to your relatives." ”

Zhang nodded yes, lowered his eyebrows and followed Linglong into the house.

Nie had already gotten off the kang and saluted Linglong with a smile, Linglong turned sideways to avoid it, and looked around, only a few big girls around Nie's side, and did not see anyone who came to see each other.

The room was made of crystal saucers with ice and mint incense, and although the sun was scorching outside, it was refreshing here.

Linglong smiled and asked Nie Shi: "I'm late, can the eldest aunt take the second sister-in-law to worship?" “

Without waiting for Nie to speak, Zhang's face was so red that it looked like it was about to drip blood, Linglong thought it was funny, what was there to be ashamed of.

Nie's eyes swept over the second daughter-in-law who was standing by the kang to serve, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, this daughter-in-law was docile and obedient, but she was too childish.

"After worshipping, I also asked for two sachets, one for your second sister-in-law, and the other for you, you go back and hang it in the tent, and open the branches and leaves for the prince as soon as possible."

Linglong smiled and thanked her, and asked Xingyu to put away the sachet, and Nie asked about Feng's body, and said, "I went to Siping Hutong two days ago, and I saw that your mother was drawing patterns, and it was a big fat doll. ”

Linglong knew about Nie's going to Siping Hutong, and the people in Siping Hutong would come to the palace every day to report Feng's situation.

She said: "I have lived in Xiling for a while, my mother is in good spirits, I want to hold a chrysanthemum banquet in Xifu after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, and my aunt will let the two sisters-in-law go over to help me." ”

There are a bunch of mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law and big maids in Rui Wang's mansion, and there are also available housekeepers and mothers in the Jin family's West Mansion, and the so-called help is just enough to give the Nie family enough face.

The smile in Nie's eyes was a little more, and he said: "You have chosen a good day, after July and a half, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still some days before Chongyang, it is the most free time, there are many things in the palace, you just need to talk about the regulations of this chrysanthemum banquet, and let the aunt do the rest." ”

Linglong thanked me again.

At this moment, a female voice came in from outside: "Is the eldest lady of the Jin family's Dongfu here?" ”

Seeing Nie's calm face, Linglong knew that the person they were waiting for had arrived.

A maid opened the curtains, and in came a woman in her thirties, with two young young ladies, one fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other twelve or thirteen.

Nie Shi smiled and said, "It's the first time Grandma Xue has come to this Water Moon Nunnery, right?" ”

Grandma Xue said: "It's not, but the driver was lazy, so he put us at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain and left, and finally hired a sedan chair to make Mrs. Jin wait for a long time." ”

There was a bit of humility in his voice, although it was an official language, but it was difficult to hide the Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents.

Those who need to hire a car to come here are either small families or outsiders.

Nie smiled heartily: "Thanks to your late arrival, I can bring my second daughter-in-law to pay respects." ”

Hearing her talk about the second daughter-in-law, Grandma Xue looked at Linglong who was sitting on the side of the kang table with some doubts, although the Nie family was sitting in the chief, but if this was the daughter-in-law, it would be too unruly.

Nie Shi smiled and introduced: "This is our family's aunt, this is the eldest grandmother of the Xue family in Hangzhou, and those two are the two young ladies of the Xue family." The Xue family and our family have been friends for many years, but it is the first time that Grandma Xue has come to the capital, and it is rare to be close to each other. ”

only said that it was the aunt and grandmother of the Jin family, but did not say which aunt and grandmother.

Grandma Xue remembered what the old man told her when she came, and she couldn't help but feel a sudden cry in her heart, could this be the aunt and grandmother who married into the clan of the Jin family?

Nie introduced her to her daughter-in-law, Zhang.

Because it was the first time they met, Nie gave each of the two Miss Xue a piece of jade, Zhang gave each of them a pair of earrings with silver inlaid with red agate, and Linglong gave two beaded flowers.

Grandma Xue's eyes couldn't help but glance at the two beaded flowers a few more times, not showing mountains and waters, but not losing their dignity, this is undoubtedly Prince Rui and Princess Rui.

She secretly glanced at her two daughters, and saw that the eldest one had a wooden expression, and the younger one looked around curiously, she couldn't help but be annoyed, it was really embarrassing.

Linglong also looked at the three of them, Grandma Xue was wearing a lilac-colored gold armor, combing a fallen horse bun, embellished with a little emerald flowers, and a round and jade white fruit face, looking extremely rich.

And the two young ladies have no resemblance to her appearance, the big one has beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with the unique slenderness of Jiangnan women, but her expression is blank, as if all this in front of her has nothing to do with her.

The smaller one has flexible eyebrows and eyes, but the skin is slightly dark, and it doesn't look as good as her sister Peugeot.

Seeing Linglong looking at her two daughters, Grandma Xue smiled and said, "Let my aunt laugh, the two of them have grown up in the countryside since they were children and have never seen the world." ”

Linglong smiled: "Hangzhou is a splendid place, where is the countryside, Grandma Xue is too modest." ”

didn't follow Grandma Xue's words, and never mentioned the two young ladies.

Nie Shi watched coldly, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious, obviously, none of these two young ladies Linglong were in love.

She couldn't help but glance at Grandma Xue, blaming her for finding such two girls.

Not to mention Princess Rui, a person who is in the company of golden branches and jade leaves, even she can't look down on it.

Grandma Xue showed embarrassment on her face, and hurriedly talked about what she saw and heard when she entered the Shuiyue Nunnery just now, but she was also a talkative.

Linglong already felt that it was boring, maybe there were more people in the room, it was not as refreshing as just now, a little hot, she said to Xingyu: "You also bring ice, take it out and put it on it." ”

The red silk and red embroidery on the side quickly opened the enamel box, took out the ice cubes from it, and put them into the crystal saucer on the table.

Grandma Xue and the Nie clan had already talked about the Guanyin of Shuiyue Nunnery, but the little girl Xue stretched her neck to look at the enamel color box containing the ice and asked, "Won't this ice melt if you put it inside?" ”

Grandma Xue heard that she couldn't throw her out, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand, but Hongxuan had already replied: "No, it won't melt for a day." ”

The surprise on Miss Xue's face was even worse, and she was about to ask again, but Grandma Xue had already said to Nie Shi with a smile: "It's rare to come once, these two girls don't know when they will enter the city next time, and the concubine wants to take them to walk around the nunnery." ”

This is about to say goodbye, Nie Shi smiled and picked up the tea.

After the three of the Xue family's mother and daughter left, Linglong's face was already a little unhappy, this matter clearly showed that the eldest aunt wanted to have some business dealings with the Xue family, and the two families needed to marry, and the two young ladies were clearly not born to Grandma Xue, and I don't know where they came from.

She didn't care too much about what kind of wife Jin Zifeng married, but since the Nie family called her over, he fooled her like this, which made her very unhappy.
