Xu Tingshen is fifteen years old, wearing a straight shirt of stone blue Hangzhou silk, his black hair is tied up with a green hosta, his eyebrows are delicate, with immaturity, but he already has an elegant color.

Xu Tingshen is the same as Linglong imagined, the son of a scholarly family, elegant and elegant. With modern memories, she scoffed at this kind of doll kissing, but this family affair was set for her by her mother, and she was happy to accept it in an era when women could not choose their own husband's family.

Don't think that people with modern memories are necessarily feminists, that mostly didn't end well in ancient times. Have you ever heard that being a thief doesn't kill you? Don't die, then go to be a killer. Linglong cherishes her life like gold, so she will not do anything that deviates from the mainstream.

Linglong gave a salute to his father and a salute to his brother, but Jin Zifeng still sat and didn't move, just nodded lightly, which can be regarded as having seen.

Linglong was a little disappointed, she didn't expect her brother to be so cold to her. My brother is three years older than her, and I have forgotten a lot of things when I was a child, but I still remember that once my cousin of the second uncle's family snatched her doll, she cried, and my brother fought with his cousin and took the doll back and returned it to her.

However, Sister Jin Yuan was very enthusiastic about her, holding her hand and asking long and short questions, which made Linglong feel very weird.

After meeting her brother, the second wife, Song Xiuzhu, said to Jin Min: "Sister Long is filial and has to serve the eldest lady every day, so let her go back first." ”

Jin Min nodded, although Xu Tingshen has a marriage contract with the Jin family, he has not yet been officially married, and he is still a foreign man, and Linglong is really inconvenient here.

Linglong and Xingyu walked out of the banquet and looked back, but they didn't see Jin Yuan and Jin Yu coming out, and she all understood.

This time Xu Tingshen came by himself, obviously it was not the intention of the Xu family, but the young man was curious, and took the opportunity to come to the Jin family to see each other with Jin Zifeng, but he didn't expect to give Linglong the opportunity to return to the capital.

Maybe his father still wanted to marry Linglong into the Xu family according to the original plan, but it was obvious that the Song family had other ideas.

It is likely that the Song family didn't take this matter to heart at first, otherwise Linglong would not have come back from Jiangsu Shunlì, but when he saw Xu Tingshen, the Song family suddenly made up his mind and called his eldest daughter Jin Yuan over. Xu Tingshen wants to see each other, so the three daughters will watch it together, Jin Yu is just a foil when she is young, and Linglong will send it out when she sees it, leaving Jin Yuan for Xu Tingshen to take a good look at.

Linglong thought about this qiē clearly, but it was relaxed. She didn't have many illusions about this family business, and now she simply didn't look forward to it anymore, but it was a pity for her mother's thoughts.

It's just that she never thought that her brother Jin Zifeng would be so cold to her, like a passerby. She originally looked forward to her brother's return and discussed with him how to take her mother away, but now it seems that her brother can do this to her, and her mother may be the same as the rest of the Jin family.

Linglong took off the hairpin ring on her head and put it in the jewelry box, which the Song family borrowed her to wear, and she had to send it back.

Xingyu took the box and went to Bitong Courtyard to deliver jewelry. The Jin family is a native of Jiangsu, and the construction of the house also refers to the Jiangnan garden, with the corridor and the zigzag corridor to connect all the places together, as far as the eye can see, are dense trees and flowers, Xingyu has only been to Bitong Courtyard once with Linglong, through the two corridors on a cobblestone path, along the bamboo forest out of a long distance, suddenly look up, but find that it turned back to the original place.

Xingyu knew that she was lost, and she was very anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't find the way, she walked around like a headless fly, thinking that it would be good to meet someone to inquire.

But it was early afternoon, and there was no one in sight in the garden. A thin layer of sweat oozed from Xingyu's forehead, she looked around, and suddenly saw a figure in the bamboo forest walking towards her.

Xingyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked into the bamboo forest to greet him, and when he got closer, Xingyu saw the person clearly.

She was taken aback, this person was not a descendant of the Jin Mansion, but the son of the Xu family she had just met in the morning!

She hurriedly bent down and saluted, but she didn't expect Xu Tingshen to know her too.

"Hey, aren't you serving Miss Five? How is it here? ”

The Song family thought that they had done a decent job, so they asked Linglong to change into new clothes and lend her jewelry, but they forgot that Xu Tingshen was the son of an official eunuch, and he looked at people carefully.

He glanced at Linglong when he entered the door, and when Linglong was in the hall, he secretly glanced at it several times, not only saw a pair of old shoes inadvertently exposed under Linglong's new skirt, but also saw the outfit of the maid next to Linglong. The third lady Jin Yuan, her maid wears a short gown with carved silk entwined branches and a red gold bracelet, which is the outfit of a first-class maid from a large family. As the eldest daughter, Linglong, her personal maid only wears a half-new and old bean green bijia, and she has no jewelry, and she is clearly not even a third-class maid.

Yes, he has an impression of this maid of Linglong, and he recognizes it at a glance.

Knowing that this was someone who had a marriage contract with the young lady, Xingyu didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "The fifth lady asked the maid to go to Bitong Courtyard to return the jewelry to the second wife, but the maid just came back from Jiangnan and was trapped here and lost." ”

Xu Tingshen frowned slightly, he had already guessed that Miss Jin Wu would not have a good time in the Jin family, but he didn't expect that even the jewelry that came out to meet the guests would have to be lent out by a concubine. The Jin family in Jiangnan is one of the richest in the Dawu Dynasty, and Jin Min's branch has entered the office, and the most important thing for the Jin family is money, but the eldest daughter of the dignified concubine does not even have the head to meet guests.

"The layout here is somewhat similar to my home, you pass through this bamboo forest, and you will not walk far to the banquet place, there are more people there, you can inquire over there." Xu Tingshen said.

Xingyu hurriedly thanked her, took the jewelry box and walked away quickly.

Xu Tingshen also just came out of the banquet, he has the habit of taking a walk after eating, but he didn't expect to meet Xingyu here, and he was a little unhappy.

During the Chinese New Year this year, his parents said to him: "Although the marriage contract between you and the Jin family has been made since childhood, the eldest wife of the Jin family has such an illness, and it is always not good to say it." If you don't want this family business, then that's it, and we won't be embarrassed by you. ”

Xu Tingshen only said that he thought about it again, and this thought was a few months, until more than a month ago, he decided to come to the Jin family with his classmate Jin Zifeng, called to meet his friends and elders, in fact, everyone understands that he wants to meet his future wife.

Although it was only in a hurry, he had a good impression of Linglong. A petite girl, like her name, is delicate and clear, and if there is anything wrong with her, it is that she was born so well that he feels a little unworthy.

He has been a pragmatic person since he was a child, and he never thought that he could marry a peerless beauty as a wife.

This Jin Linglong is young, but she already has an indescribable brilliance, which is not the same as the wife he imagined, but for some reason, his heart is itchy, and he hopes to see her again, even if it is far away, it is good to only see her figure.
