Chapter 119: Invitation
handed over the design drawings to the shopkeeper, paid the deposit and made an appointment to pick up the goods seven days later, and Wang Jin went to Donglin Street, where the Zhu family lived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The old man Sun who guarded the door was an old servant of the Zhu family, so he naturally recognized Wang Jin, and said with surprise and joy: "Miss Jin'er? It's been years since I've seen you, how is your mother? ”
"Grandpa Lao Sun is worried, my mother is very good, and everything is fine at home." Wang Jin smiled sweetly and said, "I came to find Sister Mingzhu, is she at home?" ”
"Yes, Miss has been at home for the past two days, I must be very happy to see you!" Old man Sun nodded again and again, welcomed Wang Jin into the door, and soon Yuzhu, who heard the news, rushed to lead her to Zhu Mingzhu's courtyard.
In the early years, when Zhu Ming was only the steward of the Cao Gang, his family lived in the Cao Gang compound, this independent courtyard was bought by him a few years ago, and Wang Jin only came once when they were happy to move. At this time, the layout of the yard seems to have not changed, but it is significantly different everywhere.
For example, the Taihu Lake stone in the patio in the front yard is weird and rugged, and it is absolutely extraordinary. There are several pots of orchids in the verandah, and the flowers and leaves are like lotus petals, which is extremely rare. Zhu Mingzhu's living room is a row of glass windows, colorful, dazzling in such a warm sun.
"Jin'er, why are you free? I was saying I'm going to see you again! Mingzhu heard the movement and walked to the door to greet her.
The look of surprise on her face seemed so sincere, but Wang Jin knew that this was just a mask.
"Last time you ran away without waiting for me, I came to ask you for my guilt!" Wang Jian pretended to be angry.
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then took her hand and took her to the table to sit down, and said apologetically: "What Jin'er said is that I am not good, my father and mother urged me tightly that day, and I really had no choice but to go first." I admit that I am wrong, it is all my fault. As she spoke, she walked to the dresser in a few steps, took out a pair of pearl earrings, and handed them to Wang Jin, "This is my apology, Jin'er, don't be angry." ”
Wang Jin glanced at the pair of earrings that were close to the size of a dragon's eye, and thought to himself: Zhu Ming has really made a fortune in the past two years, even such a big pearl earring, Mingzhu said that he would give it away, which is really generous.
"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I won't bother with you. Forget the earrings, I don't usually wear these things, you might as well give me some oil or rice! She grinned.
Mingzhu snorted and said with a smile: "You are really good at starting a family now, and you never forget firewood, rice, oil and salt!" ”
She thought for a while, put away the earrings, and said, "Well, you're going to be in time this year, and I'll give you some good things then!" ”
"That's what you said, if it's not good, I'll have to retreat!" Wang Jin said with a smile.
Mingzhu nodded her forehead and smiled: "I know, I promise to satisfy you!" ”
"By the way, where the hell did you go that night, Yuzhu couldn't find you anywhere?" She asked suddenly.
"Hmph, I'm angry when I talk about it!" Wang Jin puffed up angrily, "As soon as you left, a drunken son came over, I didn't want to be seen by him and avoided it, who knew that I got lost in the garden, and I looked for a long time before I came out." ”
Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and her tone was concerned: "I said, I was worried for a long time at that time, I was afraid that something would happen to you." That boy didn't do anything to you, did he? ”
Wang Jin shook his head: "As soon as I saw him, I avoided him, it's nothing." However, it is a little strange that this boy is drunk and there is no one to serve. ”
Mingzhu smiled for a moment, and then said, "Probably something was temporarily taken away." Jin'er, I always forgot to ask you, you were not at home during the Chinese New Year, and the neighbor said that you went to Jinling? ”
Seeing that she was weakly opening the topic, Wang Jian once again confirmed Li Mingqian's guess, and a complicated emotion surged in her heart.
She lowered her eyes slightly, not wanting to reveal her heart, nodded and said: "Well, I sent Mu'er to study at Yongxue Academy, and by the way, I played in Jinling for a few days, and the fireworks of the Lantern Festival are very beautiful!" ”
"In fact, during the Chinese New Year, my father went to Jinling to talk about business, and I was going to go together, but later I heard that it was to talk to Li Gongzi, and I was afraid that I would be disgusted by going there, so I stayed at home. I knew that Jin'er would also go, so I didn't care about Li Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi, I would definitely go, and I could still visit Jinling City with Jin'er. She lamented.
If I tell you that Li Mingqian and I have met several times, I will probably you off. She thought not without malice.
The two talked for a long time, and Wang Jian saw that it was not early and was about to leave, but before she stepped out of the room, Mrs. Zhu returned.
"Yo, what a coincidence that Jin'er is here!" Mrs. Zhu was first surprised when she saw her, and then she was extremely happy, and took her hand and said, "I was about to ask Mingzhu to see you!" ”
"Auntie, what's the matter?" Wang Jin was a little unsure of her sudden enthusiasm, so she was curious.
"The third lady of the Li family is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet in a few days, and invited many ladies and misses, I happened to be in her house today, and she specially instructed me to let Mingzhu bring a few little sisters to go with her, and make a lively scene. I thought of you, Jin'er, no, the posts were all brought back to you! As she spoke, the woman behind her handed over a post with a bluegrass pattern on a dark background.
Seeing his name clearly written on the post, Wang Jian was even more surprised.
Generally, the full name of the invitee is rarely written on the invitation note, which seems to mean that you must go by yourself.
Seeing her hesitation, Mrs. Zhu secretly glanced at Mingzhu.
Mingzhu will come to his senses, take Wang Jin's hand and persuade him: "Jin'er, you can go with me!" You know I don't get along with those ladies, and I don't know how to answer some of the things they say, but I'm relieved to have you. ”
She said what she was ridiculed at the wedding banquet that day, and Wang Jian naturally understood.
Since you want to have a good relationship with her, it seems that this banquet must go. By the way, let's see what kind of medicine Mrs. Zhu sells in the gourd.
"Alright then, you can send someone to pick me up then." She said honestly.
Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and responded with a smile: "Okay, I must have someone pick us up!" ”
When Mrs. Zhu saw her agree, she was in a better mood. Her trip to Li's Mansion today was extremely smooth, and Mrs. Li San understood the meaning of her words, accepted her suggestion without much thought, and even wrote an invitation to Wang Jin, obviously listening to her own words, to see the real person!
At this time, she felt much more pleasing to the eyes when she saw Wang Hibiscus, not only let the family carriage take her home, but also prepared a lot of snacks to eat, and even a bag of fragrant beads and round rice for her to take back.
"It's all affordable, but it's what your family needs the most. When Jin'er goes back, remember to say hello to your mother for me. She smiled kindly and said goodbye to Wang Hibiscus.
Obviously it was considerate and close, but Wang Jian heard a hint of ridicule, but she would not get along with the gift from nothing.
"Thank you, aunt!" She squinted and smiled, seemingly happy.
The carriage gradually drove away from the alley, and the smugness in Mrs. Zhu's eyes could no longer be concealed, and she took Mingzhu's hand and lowered her voice: "Girl, you and Mr. Li have an eyebrow!" (To be continued.) )
