Chapter 380: Ancestors and Grandchildren
This flower hall should also be renovated, and the floor is paved with fashionable Su Qing tiles, smooth as a mirror. The middle hall is hung with a peony picture of the former Tang dynasty, and a lotus bonsai carved from cloisonnΓ© enamel incense burner, jade and white jade is placed on the long table.
The rosewood table of the Eight Immortals is inlaid with mica and ivory for the three friends of the year, and a dozen rosewood chairs are pulled and covered with official green gold chair jackets. On the east wall are four spring, summer, autumn and winter painting screens, red sandalwood back-grained foot strips and a hundred treasure pavilion, with a whole piece of white plum vase carved from mutton fat jade and several valuable antiques. On the west side is a twelve-leaf rosewood enamel four-season flower opening screen, and on one side of the screen is a large vase of rich peony on the floor, which is different from the common one, and the peony flower is protruding on it, lifelike.
Linglong sighed secretly, not to mention that this Ruyi Xuan was built for her marriage, just the furnishings in this flower hall are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. She hadn't been to the halls used to entertain Yan Xu before, and she thought it would be more luxurious than here.
The Jin family is really rich, and the third master of Jin is also really rich. I hope he doesn't let his thief's son-in-law target him.
I remember that when I met Shi Er outside the Jin family before, he used to laugh at her for not knowing the goods and running to a nouveau riche like the Jin family to steal things.
No, no!
Linglong suddenly remembered that the first time she met Shi Er was on the roof of the Jin family's West Mansion!
This guy with the wrong mouth said that he didn't like the Jin family's things, but he himself had beaten the Jin family's idea.
He dared to say that he was here to observe the people's feelings, not to step on the spot?
Linglong thought so, distracted for a while, and didn't hear what Mrs. Jin said, Mrs. Jin was a little displeased, and asked again: "Do those two concubines in your house still know the rules?" β
This time Linglong heard it clearly, she couldn't help frowning slightly, although Shi Pingsu and Chen Feng are aunts, they have a seal, and they are both from big families. The high-ranking families in the capital are intertwined. But now the room is full of maids, and Mrs. Jin asked like this.
Linglong said: "The two younger sisters are from generations of scholars, and they are both knowledgeable and courteous, otherwise the queen mother would not point them to the prince." β
Voiceover: Those two are the ones chosen by the queen's mother. Grandmother, don't judge your old man.
Fortunately, Mrs. Jin is still the person who has been in charge of the back house for many years, she made a look, and the maids and daughters-in-law all withdrew, and she said to Aunt Mei again: "The third lady just came back, and she is a little tired." You accompany her to sit in the ear room for a while, and I have something to say to the fifth aunt and grandmother. β
Aunt Mei glanced at Linglong quickly, Linglong put away her smile and nodded to Aunt Mei, and Aunt Mei smiled and said to Liu Zhu and Qinfei: "Tired girls, let's help Mrs. to sit in the ear room." β
Linglong also said to a few maids beside her: "You guys should also step down." β
However, after a while, only Mrs. Jin and Linglong were left in the flower hall. The ancestors and grandchildren faced each other, and Mrs. Jin sighed, but her voice was cold and alienated, which was also from childhood to adulthood. Mrs. Jin's consistent tone of speaking to her granddaughter is no longer as amiable as she was just now, and Linglong feels more accustomed to it.
Mrs. Jin said: "Fifth aunt, you are too young to know the sinister hearts of people. Since the prince is not in good health, he will have to pass on the heir from the brothers in the future, and at that time, you are alone in the palace, and you don't even have a biological son under your knees. It's not going to be easy. β
Linglong was stunned, did Mrs. Jin know what she was talking about?
She said that the prince was not in good health, and said that she would have a succession among her brothers, which is not to say that the prince cannot be humane. Whether it's her, or those concubines, are they ornaments?
Oh, my God!
Your old man has finally said this, and I thought you had forgotten about it from the moment you received the decree of marriage.
Linglong grinned, and wanted to squeeze out a miserable smile to make Mrs. Jin happy. But her expression was not quite in place. Fortunately, Mrs. Jin was old and dazzled, and she couldn't really see it, and her brain automatically made up for her, which was the prelude to tears.
"Alas, there is a difference between having a mother's family and not having a mother's family, do you remember your cousin Liu's family, her mother's family is not good, and she was bullied by the son of the front room and has no place to stand, but you are a girl from the Jin family, you can't watch you being bullied by those concubines and step-sons, whether you are a princess or a princess, you must pay more attention to it, and have a heart with your mother's family.
Linglong gasped, her grandmother was going to give her a head drink, so that she didn't care about her mother's family.
"Grandmother, the prince's fief is in Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian, where it is far away from the capital, and there are often widows, although it is now not necessary to be a vassal, but who knows what the future, maybe the granddaughter will spend the rest of her life in Quanzhou, and it will be more difficult to return to the capital than to ascend to the sky at that time."
Voiceover: My prince's territory is in Fujian, and he has no real power in the capital, don't worry about it.
Mrs. Jin's heart moved, this granddaughter is really not a good stubble, she has been taught since the last time Jin Chang was in that matter, but she can't let her mind it, she has a gap with her father because of Feng's affairs, don't look at her as a princess, the Jin family is afraid that they can't count on her, and they always have to put someone who can grasp it next to her.
"But look at the meaning of long live, I'm afraid I am reluctant to send my son to the fief. Besides, there is only this one concubine under the queen's knees, although the above princes are older than him, but he is a concubine after all, and he will stay until a hundred years later."
She stopped, and looked at Linglong with a pair of piercing but still sharp eyes.
Linglong saw that the more she talked about the old man, the more unbearable she became, she didn't bother to say more: "Grandmother, the prince has been crowned king, and he has no relationship with the East Palace, grandmother still don't talk about the crown prince anymore." β
When she said these words, she accentuated her tone, she wanted to let Mrs. Jin know that some things, some words, and some people are not something that can be discussed casually.
Old lady Jin's face changed color slightly, the five girls dared to talk to her in such a tone, did she really think that she flew on the branch to be a phoenix?
She was about to reprimand, but she heard Linglong say: "Grandmother, if it is for the sake of salt, the granddaughter will ask the prince to help dredge it, Fujian produces tea, if the Jin family wants to do tea business, it is even more good, the mother's family has money, and it is not a bad thing for us." As for the matter of my back house, after all, I also have in-laws and concubines, and no matter how much my mother's family loves me, it is also different from the monarch and the minister. The grandmother is old, and the granddaughter only hopes that the grandmother will be healthy and healthy, and that she will live a long life, as for the little things in the granddaughter's back house, it should not be able to talk to her mother's family, so let the granddaughter carry it herself. β
