Chapter 9: Madame's Scheming

The West Garden, far away from the East Garden of Linlang, is just south of the Splendid Garden of the year, and the Furong Garden of the third aunt is separated by a winding stream.

The eldest lady took Liu's hand, sat on the bed and said with a smile: "Sister Jinghe, you and I will be called sisters in the future, don't always call me as the eldest lady and the eldest lady, and I won't call you Liu's Liu!" That's a lot of life! ”

The eldest lady's sudden overture flattered Liu, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet the eldest lady's gaze. On the contrary, the boy on the side was lively and cheerful, and said with a smile: "Then can I call you mother in the future?" ”

"Ange! Don't be rude! Liu hurriedly scolded. I saw An Ge sticking out his tongue mischievously and no longer speaking.

The eldest lady pursed her lips and chuckled, "An Ge? But the An Song in "Nine Songs: Donghuang Taiyi": The An Song in 'The Song of the Slow Festival'? Seeing Liu's nod, the eldest lady praised again and again, "Good name, good name!" In the future, you two will call my mother, come, come and let her have a good look! Have you ever had a surname? ”

"Mrs. Hui, the two children have never had a surname. The big one is called An Ge, and the small one is called An Wu. Liu looked at her children, their faces full of happiness, and introduced them one by one.

The eldest lady raised her head and thought about it carefully, "According to the ranking of Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, reason, wisdom, and faith, the next generation of the Jin family is ranked in the Zhizi generation. The child of the curtain bead is called Jin Zhiqian, and his nickname is a rui character. Since my sister has given her milk name, then I will give my brother and sister a good name! ”

In the Golden Mansion, the East Garden and the West Garden are far away, and you can cross the koi fish pond and look at a corner of the Splendid Garden.

He arranged for me here, and he must have listened to the advice of the eldest lady in private.

The East Garden is just south of Jinxiao Garden, what is the secret in it? Is it just to get closer to the eldest lady, what is easy to discover?

Linlang shook her head silently, she still couldn't think of what the eldest lady had in mind. According to the eldest lady's style of acting, vaguely, Linlang felt that this matter was not so simple.

Gradually, the Golden Mansion became lively.

Listening to the chatter of the maids, Linlang was silent. Yes, every courtyard is inhabited, and the Golden Mansion has regained its former glory! Only the splendid garden where my mother lived has been barren, is it? Linlang instantly realized, with the heart of the eldest lady, she would definitely arrange for someone to live in the Splendid Garden again, disgusting herself, who could it be?

Looking at the direction of the Splendid Garden, Linlang took a deep breath, and the cool fragrance of flowers poured into her lungs, but she couldn't smell it anymore.

While they were pondering, two girls in the room quietly walked to the door with small steps.

"Miss, we were arranged by the master to serve you."

The girl who spoke was wearing a peach-colored long skirt, with wide cuffs revealing slender white hands, which were placed on her lower abdomen and nervously around the skirt.

"I just heard what Aunt Xiang said, come in!" Linlang smiled and beckoned, "Which of you is Qiao Yu?" Which is Yanxiang? ”

Linlang looked at the maid who spoke before, and saw that she didn't apply powder but her cheeks were red and her lips were transparent, and her clever big eyes were full of joy. "Miss, my name is Yanxiang."

"My name is Qiao Yu." The sound of a faint mosquito came from the bowed head. Compared with Yan Xiang, this girl named Qiao Yu looks much thicker.

Linlang also knew that the two girls were selected by Aunt Xiang, one was eccentric and the other was honest and honest. Without the eyeliner of the eldest lady, it will definitely be much quieter these days.

It's just, will the next days be the same as Linlang thinks?

"Ange, do you remember what your name is?" In the West Garden, the eldest lady touched An Ge's soft hair, pinched his face, and asked with a smile.

An Ge was eighteen years old, and at this time, he was caressed like a child by the eldest lady, his face couldn't help but blush, and he lowered his head and said angrily: "My name is Jin Zhiyang, I am a child of a big family, I don't need to be modest!" ”

"Yes!" The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at An Wu, "What about you?" ”

An Wu blinked her big eyes, although the clothes on her body were shabby, she couldn't stop the handsomeness who was very similar to her brother. "Mother, my name is Kim Ji-sook, I am a child of a big family, and I want to be a fair lady."

"Good! Very good! An imperceptible sneer flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, "Remember, you are all children of big families, and you can't lose the face of the Jin family at any time!" ”

After the eldest lady finished speaking, the words changed, "Since Sister Jinghe is back, she is the fourth aunt, and I will arrange a few maids to come over to serve every month in the future." Seeing that Liu's eyes were panicked, the eldest lady smiled slightly, "From now on, you will be your aunt, and An Ge will not be able to live in another piece when he is older." The Splendid Garden in the north happens to be empty, only separated by a wall from the West Garden, and after a few days, An Ge will move there. ”

When Liu heard the three words of Splendid Garden, he was suddenly clever. At that time, the young lady she was waiting for lived in Jinxiu Garden, Mrs. Lin, and the status of Jinxiao Garden was indistinguishable. Since being kicked out of the Kim family, I heard that less than six years later, it happened......

Liu Shi was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Madam, this West Garden is already big enough, and there are still a few empty rooms, just let An Ge find one to live in." ”

"Oh, sister, what are you doing, hurry up!" The eldest lady held her stomach and struggled to help Liu up, "An Ge is big, he should have his own yard." This is a rule set by my ancestors, and I dare not disobey it! Besides, the house is empty now, and when the maids come, it would be nice to have a few rooms left to put some sundries! ”

"That ......"

Liu's heavy wheezing sound reached the ears of the eldest lady. She laughed, how could she not know what the other party was thinking. "You see, Dongyuan was inhabited by Linlang's girl, and now only the Splendid Garden is left empty. Although this splendid garden has been empty for more than ten years, it is very chic inside, and it is as good as new! ”

After speaking, the eldest lady glanced around the room, several shabby chairs sat on them and made a "creaking" sound, a wooden box full of hair was stacked on the bed, and the thin bedding was brought from home by Liu.

"Sister Jinghe, it's decided! When I go back, I asked Aunt Xiang to prepare well here, and if you lack anything, just ask! ”

The eldest lady's figure writhed awkwardly, and the glow of the mother's halo that should have been warm was gone. Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Liu's heart became more and more uneasy. Three years ago, she did ask someone to intercede, but she didn't expect to get permission today. It has been eighteen years since he stepped into the Jin family again, and what has happened in the past eighteen years has cast an indescribable shadow on this originally harmonious family.

The news of living in the Jin family quickly spread throughout Jincheng, and the focus of attention, the Jin Mansion, was shocked by another news.

"Jin Zhiyang wants to live in Splendid Garden?"

The first person to get the news was not Linlang, but Aunt Xiang. She lives in the West Chamber, separated from the West Garden of the fourth aunt Liu's West Garden.

Aunt Xiang and Liu Jinghe came to the Jin family with Mrs. Lin, and their relationship was naturally extraordinary. Besides, Aunt Xiang was the only outsider who knew the truth of the matter back then, that night, Liu Jinghe ran to complain crying, she knew that the fate of this girl stopped here.

"Jin Zhiyang wants to live in Splendid Garden?"

When Linlang heard the news, her face was suddenly clouded. She stared at Ling Shan in disbelief, and saw helplessness in that affirmative gaze.

It's just an instant, Linlang's hazy eyes were replaced by a faint smile, since the eldest lady is determined to disgust herself, why not give her this opportunity! Who will really swallow this fly at that time, let's wait and see!

"Yan Xiang, Qiao Yu, you two accompany me to the Splendid Garden for a walk!"
