Chapter 114: Neighbors (2nd Watch)

Mrs. Jin lives in Xifu, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, relatives have come to Mrs. Jin one after another to give gifts and say goodbye.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jin Ziye, the eldest son of the second master Jin Zheng, the fourth master of the Jin family, arrived with his sister Miss Nine Coral.

Mrs. Jin hadn't seen Jin Ziye for two years, so she was very happy and asked her to pack up Zhilanxuan and give them a temporary stay. Zhilanxuan is close to Chunhui Hall, and the courtyard of the three entrances is only separated from Chunhui Hall by a bamboo path.

Jin Ziye is one year older than Linglong. When Linglong saw him two years ago, he was only up to Linglong's shoulders, and now he is half a head taller than her.

Jin Coral is seven years old, the same year as Jin Yu, two months younger than Jin Yu, and this year he just made a marriage with Qin Lu, the youngest son of Qin Chongfang, Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

In the afternoon, Jiao's three daughters also arrived, which made Mrs. Jin a little unhappy.

The reason is that Jiao once mentioned to Mrs. Jin that she wanted to find her in-laws in the capital for her three daughters, but Mrs. Jin was a little reluctant in her heart, so she never proposed to take her three granddaughters over.

Jin Chun and Jiao's position clearly wanted to take advantage of Jin Min's relationship in the capital. Jin Chun is a concubine, and Mrs. Jin originally rewarded him with a mouthful of food, but because of the relationship between Jiao's mother's brother, she gave them seven or eight shops, and now she wants to marry her daughters to the capital.

At this time, Jin Chun and Jiao took advantage of the opportunity of the festival to send their three daughters over without even saying hello, and the luggage was two or three cars, which was clearly ready to stay for a long time.

The Jin Lu family was very embarrassed, and cautiously asked Mrs. Jin: "Place the second, sixth, and eighth ladies in Chunhui Hall." The maid saw that there was also a cross-courtyard that was empty. ”

"They deserve it too!" Mrs. Jin squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

Jin Lu's family is even more difficult, if they are allowed to live in Zhilanxuan, Jin Ziye is already thirteen years old, and the second lady Jin Chang and the sixth miss Jin Wan are not young, so it is inappropriate to let them live in one place.

She had no choice but to go out to discuss with Song Xiuzhu, and Song Xiuzhu asked her to clean up another cross-courtyard in Rongyuan and let their sisters live.

Before the people who cleaned up the yard passed, this matter reached Jiao's ears, and she was so angry that she scolded in the house, so frightened that the maid Xiaochuan hurriedly closed the window. Although the West Mansion is not as grand as the old mansion of the Jin family and the East Mansion. But there are also seven or eight courtyards. There are three empty at the moment. Mrs. Jin let the children of the second room live in Zhilanxuan, but sent her daughters to Rongyuan.

What kind of place is Rong Yuan, where a madman has lived, and Jin Ziwei, the fifth master of the Jin family, died there.

Jiao immediately went to find Mrs. Jin: "Mother." It is said in this house. The maids and women in Rong Yuan also had that madness. Dead and crazy, three sisters live in, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Old Lady Jin snorted coldly: "The five girls haven't been living there all the time. I think she is not only fine, but also in good spirits, and the people in her yard are also tough, you listen to what those people are talking nonsense, the five girls are fine, but your child is in trouble. ”

Jiao came out of the old lady's house, returned to his room, and scolded. scared the personal maid Xiao Chuan so much that he hurriedly closed the window.

"Fourth wife, let's not be angry, it's not worth it, just endure it and pass, and when my sister marries into a high-ranking family in the future, see who dares to slack off." You didn't see that Miss Wu didn't even have a head to see people, I heard that the Xu family came to officially propose marriage after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you look at these days, sewing clothes and adding jewelry, and even the incense powder money has risen to ten taels. Our second miss is not better than her, in any case, she is also the eldest daughter of the fourth master of the Jin family, and the third miss still wants to rob the fifth miss of her family, compared with our second miss, she is a little girl. ”

Jiao's then relented and let her youngest daughter Jin Xian live with her in Chunhui Hall, and Jin Chang and Jin Wan lived in the cross-courtyard arranged by Song Xiuzhu. She didn't believe it, and let Jin Xian live in the same room with her, and Mrs. Jin still had to blast out a seven-year-old granddaughter.

Rong Garden was the largest garden in Xifu before the Bitong Courtyard was still covered and expanded. With four cross-courtyards, Linglong lived in the largest of them, there was only one moon gate in the past, after Feng went crazy, this moon gate was blocked, but the other three cross-courtyards still have a moon gate leading directly to Feng's big courtyard, go out and come in, you have to go through the gate of Rong Garden.

Linglong was embroidering a screen for her second cousin, Xingyu came in with a smile, and told the two young ladies in the fourth room that they were going to live in Rongyuan.

Linglong couldn't help laughing, Jin Chang and Jin Wan bullied her a lot, she didn't expect to come to the capital and become neighbors.

"Miss, or I'll pretend to be a ghost at night to scare them." When Jin Chang and Jin Wan bullied Linglong, Xingyu would protect Linglong, and as a result, she would be unlucky with Linglong every time.

Linglong said with a smile: "You don't need to pretend to be ghosts, they all say that the people who live in Rongyuan are crazy if they don't die, they are afraid that they will be scared half to death a long time ago, so why don't you have to pretend to be hard." ”

She said again: "You let the two mothers-in-law go over, help the second sister and the sixth sister clean up, and when it is cleaned up, I will go over and take a look, there are finally neighbors in Rongyuan, and we must do our best to be the landlord." ”

Xingyu took the two rough mothers-in-law over, and came back after a while, smiling and clutching her stomach.

"The second lady crossed her waist and was standing there scolding, the sixth miss refused to go over, and was pulled in by several of the second miss's maids, she pulled the door frame hard, and broke her nails."

The second lady Jin Chang is sixteen years old, and she has long passed the age of engagement, but she has always been high or low, firstly, because her father Jin Chun is not the father of the Jin family, and secondly, their mother and daughter are very high-spirited, and they always want to marry into the official eunuch family like other daughters of the Jin family.

Sixth Miss Jin Wan and Linglong are in the same year, only one month younger than Linglong. Linglong was only four years old when she first arrived at the old mansion, and Jin Wan asked Jin Chang: "The fifth sister's embroidered shoes are inlaid with pearls, why don't we have embroidered shoes?" ”

Jin Chang didn't believe it, so Jin Wan took her to look at it, and saw that not only were the delicate embroidered shoes inlaid with Linglong, but also the hairpin used was either gold or pearl-inlayed.

So they cried and went to their mothers, and they wanted those things. Jiao's has always spoiled his daughter, and he knew about Feng's affairs, so he went to Mrs. Jin and said that he would hand over Linglong to her to raise him.

Mrs. Jin felt sorry for the newborn grandson who was killed by Feng, and saw that Linglong's appearance was all like Feng's, she was angry, and saw that Jiao's own request to raise Linglong, although she also guessed that Jiao's wanted to ask for favors in front of Jin Min and get some benefits, but she didn't refuse, and handed over the four-year-old Linglong to Jiao's, and never cared about it.

Jiao saw that Linglong only had a five-year-old Xingyu, and there was not even a sensible mother-in-law by his side, so he simply didn't do anything and took all the exquisite things, including Jin Chang and Jin Wan's greedy pearl-inlaid embroidered shoes and the pile of hairpins.

Jin Wan and Linglong are the same age, Linglong's embroidered shoes she wore just right, and the next day she wore Linglong's embroidered shoes everywhere, Xingyu saw and told Linglong, the master and servant were four years old and five years old, hand in hand to find Jin Wan to ask for shoes, Jin Chang and Jin Wan took several cousins and cousins from other rooms of the Jin family, and beat Linglong and Xingyu to the point that their noses bleed.

After Jiao Shi knew about this, he pretended not to know, and only let his mother-in-law in the house take some medicine, and told no one to tell him about it.

That was the first time Jin Chang and Jin Wan bullied Linglong, and they were originally scared, but their mother not only did not scold them, but also allowed them to go to the housekeeper to show off Linglong's objects everywhere.

With the first time, there is also a second and third time, Linglong and Xingyu are like meat on the knife board in their eyes, and they can bully as much as they want.

Later, when they learned from the adults that the third aunt was a madman, they were even more excited, and when they saw Linglong from afar, they encouraged the other children to shout at the little madman and throw stones at Linglong.

Linglong has been bullied by them for eight years in the old mansion, and even a serious illness a year ago is due to their sisters. That time, Linglong was very sick and was about to die, so they were afraid and told Jiao that night that Linglong was locked out of the gate and drenched in the rain all night.

As soon as Jiao Shi heard this, she immediately made an excuse and changed all the people who knew that night, and she helped Mrs. Jin take care of the old house, and it was easy to replace a few people.

No one expected that Linglong not only did not die, but also was blessed by misfortune, which made her remember the events of her previous life.

Now Jin Chang and Jin Wan have come all the way from Jiangsu to the capital, and they have become neighbors with Linglong, which is really fateful.

Linglong was very happy that day, ate three bowls of rice, and stunned Huancui and Xi'er, who were waiting on the side.
