Chapter 63: It's a coincidence
Yesterday, Nie received a message brought back to the capital from Xiling Zhuangzi, and felt very surprised, when were the four girls so careful? After asking carefully, I realized that it was not Linlang who gave the message, but Linglong.
Linglong asked her to go out of the city to greet Mrs. Jin with great fanfare, and she had to make more pomp and circumstance.
When she first heard that Xifu had taken Mrs. Jin over in private, she guessed that it was Song Xiuzhu's ghost. Song Xiuzhu suffered a loss at the hands of her eldest sister-in-law and Linglong, so she instigated Mrs. Jin to come over and preside over the overall situation. She is really smart enough, knowing that in the Jin family, only Mrs. Jin is qualified to rectify her Nie family.
Nie was originally angry, and when she heard Linglong say that she should greet the old lady generously, she was a little puzzled, who was the old lady Jin, so she didn't eat this set.
But she still did what Linglong said, and mobilized everyone to pick up Mrs. Jin.
"Mother, grandmother has never been good to you, you are not afraid that she will say a few ugly words in front of so many people, and not give you face. According to the daughter, we just don't know, and the grandmother and the third uncle don't plan to sue us. β
It was the eldest daughter Xuanji who persuaded her, the eldest lady of the Jin family, Xuanji, who had already married, and her husband was currently working in Jin Wuwei and was a military attachΓ©. How harsh Nie's grandmother was back then, Xuanji knew better than her younger siblings.
"No, I want to listen to Linglong this time, I think she must have her reasons." Nie smiled, and a pair of eyes as bright as a spring pool appeared in front of him.
"But Linglong is only twelve years old, and she is still a child." Xuanji was puzzled, but she couldn't help but wonder how a wise mother could trust a twelve-year-old child for no reason.
Nie Shi smiled: "It's just a trip out of the city, even if it's wrong, it's harmless, it's better to try." β
At this time, outside the welcome pavilion, seeing the embarrassed look on Jin Min's face, Nie knew that she would not be wrong with this attempt.
The third master of the Jin family, who has always regarded himself as elegant and noble, wears official uniforms, and only brings concubines and concubines to pick up Mrs. Jin.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang saw the young man walking down from the carriage in the pavilion, and her face was happy: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, old lady, Mrs. Ding, my nephew has arrived, and the concubine is going to leave first." β
Han Yunkai stood outside the pavilion to give a salute: "Auntie, my nephew is here to pick you up, you are in a hurry, it is all to blame for the old lady, she was afraid that you would be hungry on the road, so she forced her nephew to ask for a plate of tea crisp for you at the Six Princes' Mansion, and it was too late." β
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "You little monkey, it seems that the old lady only loves me alone, and forces you, the prince of the world, to say goodbye to Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Ding, thanks to them taking care of me on the way." β
As she spoke, she asked Mrs. Jin with a smile: "Old lady, my nephew has not yet reached the crown, although he is a foreign man, but he is also a child, don't you mind." β
Mrs. Jin looked at the young man outside the pavilion, and saw that he was eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing arrow sleeves with crimson rolling gold edges, tied with colorful silk and long spike palace silk, with deerskin and blue-soled boots under his feet, a sword hanging from his waist, and his hair tied into a ponytail with a few big beads.
Mrs. Jin has seen the world, and at this time she is secretly saying that she is gone, only knowing that Mrs. Zhang's husband is a prefect from Wupin, and she is kind and has no shelf, and she thinks that her mother's family is a small family. But I didn't expect that it would have a great background, not to mention anything else, who could go to the Six Princes' Mansion to ask for snacks, and how many people were there in the entire capital.
Although Mrs. Jin sighed in her heart, she smiled more gracefully on her face: "Mrs. Zhang is polite, she is a child on the left and right, how can there be so many evasions, on a hot day, let him come in and drink a bowl of herbal tea to cool off." β
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said to the young man outside the pavilion: "Why don't you come in and greet Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Ding, and Mrs. Jin." β
While they were talking, Jin Yu and Nie also came with their children, they had arrived before Han Yunkai, but they were stopped by Jin Min and his son to say a few words, and then they came over.
Old Mrs. Jin had seen them a long time ago, and when she saw that her eldest son had made such a big battle to pick her up, she was even more proud. So she pretended not to see it, she wanted to give Nie's a dismount, no matter how proud you are, I am also your mother-in-law!
Jin Yu and Nie took their children into the pavilion to greet Mrs. Jin, at this time Han Yunkai had also seen the ceremony, Mrs. Jin saw Han Yunkai for the first time, but Song Xiuzhu knew her, just now she looked at Han Yunkai not to come in, this time Han Yunkai not only came in, but also glanced at Jin Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.
"Isn't this the son of Jian'an? Why are you here? "It was the Nie family who spoke, she had business dealings with the Han family in Jian'an Bo Mansion, and she knew Han Yunkai.
Seeing that it was the Nie family, Han Yunkai arched his hand and said: "I saw your carriage and horses from Dongfu on the road just now, but I was in a hurry to pick up my aunt, so I didn't say hello, it's not that I am lazy, don't sue me when you see my old lady." β
Nie Shi snorted heartily, but his heart was abrupt. How could it be so coincidental that Mrs. Jin was actually with Mrs. Han Jiagu, could it be that Linglong could pinch it?
Of course, this is not something that Linglong can calculate, she can guess that Jin Min took Song Xiuzhu out, but she didn't know that Mrs. Han Jiagu would also come to the capital at this time, which was a complete coincidence.
Nie is a businessman, she is not only shrewd and capable, but also retributive. If you Song Xiuzhu secretly invited Mrs. Jin to deal with me, I won't let you look good.
"Speaking of which, I really am not an outsider, thanks to the prince himself who went into the water and rescued the three girls of my family from the river, Sister Yuan, thank you for saving your life."
The welcome pavilion was still full of joy and laughter, and it suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it could be heard even if a needle dropped.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her nephew in surprise and said softly, "Is this really the case?" β
Han Yunkai has always been free and easy, and he also asked people to go to the Jin family to propose marriage, but the Jin family did not agree, then this matter will be over, I don't want you to repay for saving people, I want to be responsible for you and don't appreciate it, then let's clear the two. Besides, Miss Jin San is so calculating, she is not a good person, and he doesn't need to save face.
Hearing that his aunt asked, he told the truth: "This is true, I saved people with the cousin of the Xu family, the cousin of the Xu family had a marriage contract with the fifth miss of the Jin family, and he could not marry another, so the old lady asked someone to go to the west mansion of the Jin family to propose marriage, and asked to take Miss Jin San as a concubine, but the third master of the Jin family did not agree." β
When Mrs. Jin saw Han Yunkai just now, she thought that the Han family had such a good family background, if the Jin family could marry the Han family, it would be great. At this time, after listening to the words of Nie Shi and Han Yunkai, she was taken aback, only to feel that a stream of blood qi rushed up to her head, and she slumped and sat on the stone bench covered with plain satin and cotton cushions.
