Chapter 176: The Flower Room
Mrs. Zuo of Linjiang Marquis is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu, super first-class fate, in her early forties, with a round complexion, wearing dark green gold sleeves, combing peony buns, and inserting two sheep fat jade peony tangled branch hairpins; The wife of the prince, Gan, is the second daughter of Jiang Ninghou, in her early twenties, with a goose egg face, a pear vortex on the left, and a little playful when she speaks.
When Linglong, Coral and Jin Yu came in, Mrs. Jin was talking to them about family life, and when she saw the three sisters coming in, she said: "This is the fifth miss of our family, the seventh miss and the ninth miss, they are all children, and they have never seen the world. β
The three of them respectfully performed the blessing ceremony, and Mrs. Gan said with a smile: "I only knew that the third brother and sister and the fourth lady of the in-laws were all born beautiful, but now I came to Xifu, and then I know that the fifth miss, the seventh miss and the ninth miss are also beautiful billets. β
Mrs. Jin couldn't suppress a smile on her lips, and said modestly: "Growing up in the countryside since childhood, it is rare that the eldest lady and the prince do not think they have no rules. β
Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Shizi both let the maid take the meeting gift, and Mrs. Zuo gave one or two golden buns with rich flowers; The prince gave each person a crested hairpin with red gold and beads.
After thanking the three of them, they stood aside, and a maid took the embroidered pestle, and then they sat down.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Zuo said to Xuanji: "Although there are East Mansion and West Mansion, they are both Jin family, and my nephew and daughter-in-law finally came back once." Just go out with your sisters, and don't stay with us. β
Xuanji smiled: "It's only been a while, you dislike me, to put it mildly, you just spoil the lobby sister-in-law, take her everywhere you go, and finally take me out, which will away." β
Mrs. Zuo said to Mrs. Jin: "Lao Anren, listen quickly, your granddaughter is still picky, she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus within a year of entering the door." Her mother-in-law put her on the tip of her heart. It's my fault that I didn't bring her out. β
Mrs. Jin has been in the capital for a few months, and she has seen several big wives, but it is the first time for Mrs. Zuo to be like this. At this time, I saw Mrs. Zuo praising Xuanji in disguise. There is light on the face. Overjoyed.
"Alright. Don't be poor with your uncle and mother-in-law, my aunt and grandmother have finally come back, so let's go and get close to my sisters. β
Xuanji also knew that Mrs. Zuo must have something to say to Mrs. Jin. took the three of them out with Linglong.
They didn't go far, they sat in the flower room not far from Chunhui Hall. Half of this flower house is underground, half of it is on the ground, and it is surrounded by glass, and it is late autumn, but it is full of spring inside. Seeing that the four young ladies were coming, the housekeeper of the flower room came out in person, and Linglong said: "Grandma is here, let's sit here for a while, my maid will go back to get the tea, you take her to make it and bring it up." β
The mother-in-law hurriedly picked up a half-old red lacquer table of eight immortals, placed an embroidered pier, Xi'er brought tea, and after a while, she brought hot tea and served it.
Xuanji took a sip: "The black tea is added with osmanthus, which is a little special." β
Coral smiled: "Sister Lobby is only half right, and she also added honey." β
Xuanji tasted it again: "It's not, no wonder the fourth sister always says that she is ingenious, just look at the tea she drinks, this will be a lot of toss." β
Linglong smiled and asked, "Why did the hall sister and the two ladies of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion come suddenly, and they didn't say anything in advance, and the mansion was not prepared." β
The corners of Xuanji's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something, she glanced at Coral and Jin Yu who were sitting next to her, and then said with a smile: "Today, my mother-in-law and I are playing leaf cards with my aunt and sister-in-law in the Hou Mansion, and I said that our old lady is also in the capital at this time, and it happens that the eldest aunt went to Jiangsu with the Hou Ye when she was young, and when she talked about the customs of Jiangsu, on a whim, she went to visit the old lady. β
Linglong saw that her face was different, knowing that what she said was not the truth, and she didn't ask too much, so she talked about the clothes and heads of the two ladies, and Coral interjected: "The gold-inlaid Baibaoqing Yunyong Fu hairpin on Mrs. Zuo's head matches her bearing, and that hairpin can't be suppressed by ordinary people." β
Xuanji smiled and said: "You are a visionary, Mrs. Zuo is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu, and Mrs. Linjiang Hou, this identity is not comparable to the entire Dawu Dynasty, her temperament is unique, where can the wives of ordinary big families compare." β
Hearing that Mrs. Zuo's maiden home was the Duke of Chu's mansion, Linglong's heart moved and asked, "Is her stepmother the concubine of Jing'an Hou, Mao Qinghuan?" β
"Hey, the fifth sister only came to the capital this year, how can it be so clear?" Xuanji was surprised, but she didn't delve into it, after all, this is not a secret, "You only see the eldest aunt and think that she has an extraordinary bearing, if you see that Mrs. Jing'anhou, you will know that there are really beautiful people in this world." β
As she spoke, she looked at Linglong: "Don't say it, in a few years, the fifth lady of our family will be a few years younger, and Mrs. Mao will be more than ten years younger, I'm afraid she will be able to compete." β
Linglong's face was slightly red by her, and she said angrily: "I'm talking about Mrs. Mao, why did the lobby sister pull it on my head, you can tell me what that Mrs. Mao is like." β
Linlang said: "Speaking of which, this Mrs. Mao is younger than the eldest aunt, and she is only in her early thirties this year. β
Coral stuck out her tongue: "Mrs. Zuo is forty, then the Duke of Chu is at least fifty or sixty years old, isn't Mrs. Mao married an old man." β
Xuanji nodded slightly: "Mrs. Mao and the Duke of Chu were given marriage by Long Live to say it, and it really responded to the sentence of the red face and thin life, Mrs. Mao guarded the widow for three years before making a continuation for the Duke of Chu. Fortunately, her mother-in-law's family is benevolent and righteous, and she has a paperwork, so that she can match her with a good relationship, otherwise she doesn't know how long it will take. β
This past incident Linglong once heard Nie Lin mention, Mao Qinghuan's fiancΓ© Jun fell from a horse and died in the Autumn Siege, and was only married by the emperor three years later, and Mao Qinghuan married the Duke of Chu as a stepmother.
"I have only seen this surname in hundreds of families, and it is the first time I have seen this surname." Linglong led the topic to the Mao family, and Nie Lin didn't tell her about the Mao family again, and she wanted to inquire.
Xuanji sighed: "The Mao family has been guarding Fujian for all these years, and long live once praised them as the Haishi of Fujian Town, but it's a pity"
Seeing Xuanji's regretful face, Linglong couldn't help but think of Shi Er, and the dead soldiers on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Jin Yiwei went to Fujian, what happened to the Mao family, and what is the relationship between the Mao family and Shi Er?
One-one-one-one
