Chapter 10 Jin Xiu's visit to his mother

On this day, Master Gao called Jinyu to the study and said, "I originally wanted to help your sisters hold a ceremony together." But Shen Rong really disappointed me, and she didn't have the demeanor of a high-ranking family daughter. So I decided that on Shen Rong's birthday, Aunt Liu would preside over it for her. Your mother and aunt will take care of it for you on your birthday. Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Daddy, don't do it." My sister has always been famous, and she is the eldest daughter of my Gao family, if it is handled hastily, it will not have a good impact on my sister. In addition, it is divided into two times, and there is a lot of consumption at home, which is time-consuming and time-consuming. Or I handle it with my sister, which is also the meaning of our sisters' affection. Master Gao nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, it's up to you." It's just your birthday, and everything has to be done with you! Jinyu commanded.

At that moment, the mother-in-law who went to Qingxian County came back to resume her life, and replied to Jinyu: "My uncle's wife agreed, saying that she would definitely come over to preside over the two young ladies' ceremony." In addition, Miss Cousin heard about it and wanted to come over. Because there are many people and things, let the small ones come back first. Uncle, Mrs., they will be there soon. Jinyu was overjoyed when she heard this. Huixin, the third girl of her uncle's family, is the same year as Shen Rong, she has known each other since she was a child, and she is cool, she likes this cousin very much. So he hurriedly arranged and arranged the courtyard where the Wang family lived after he came.

Because he knew that the Wang family had always been quiet, he arranged her residence in the five rooms where Jin Xiu lived when he was at home, close to the garden and close to the Hu family. I was busy arranging here, but a daughter-in-law came over to report: "Second Miss, the eldest young master and the young grandmother are back!" Now Hancuitang is waiting for you! Jinyu was overjoyed when she heard this.

Jin Xiu is now studying in Guozijian and has been living in Yue's house in the capital. His father-in-law is a former colleague of Master Gao, and he has been an official in Beijing. Because of his admiration for Master Gao's personality, coupled with the fact that he has always been like-minded with Master Gao, and he knows the Gao family well, Master Kang married his only daughter to Gao Jinxiu. This time, Jin Xiu knew that his mother was seriously ill, so he deliberately asked for leave to take his wife back to visit his mother.

Jinyu rushed to Hancui Hall, and saw Master Gao holding a letter in his hand, and he was overjoyed to see it. Needless to say, this must be the reason why Mr. Jin Xiu greatly praised Jin Xiu in his letter. But it is also true that since his brother Jinxiu entered school, his studies have never been delayed, and his performance has always been excellent, which is the pride of Master Gao. Unlike the second brother Jinmin, he doesn't like to dance and ink, he actually likes to dance with guns and sticks, and he mixes with a group of military attachés all day long. Once he actually wanted to worship a strange person as a teacher, which made Master Gao angry enough. Now his mother is seriously ill, but he has not been seen all day, and he does not know where he is mingling. Master Gao was busy dealing with family affairs for a while, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it. Jinyu took into account her mother's body, so she didn't know what to do. Seeing the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Jinyu felt happy from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello affectionately. "Yu'er, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Sister-in-law Kang Shi also held her hand warmly.

Kang is a typical beauty, with a tall figure, a goose egg face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and ruddy lips. Unlike the delicate and meticulous Yanagi, the beauty of the Kang family is another type of atmospheric beauty. Because she is an only daughter, she has an innate arrogance. She and Jin Xiu are still very harmonious with each other. However, a few sisters-in-law, she only looked at Jinyu, the daughter born to his wife Hu, and Shen Rong and Shen Fang were just face-saving. And she doesn't like Shen Rong, who has always been the only favorite of Master Gao. Although she admires her husband Jin Xiu's talent and knowledge, she is very disdainful of Shen Rong's fame. As a woman, the most important thing is to teach her husband and children, she should learn needlework and cooking, and she is a housekeeper, but she goes to refine what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can those things be eaten as food? Naturally, she would not reveal these words in front of Master Gao, but she never avoided Shen Rong. Because of this, Shen Rong loves and hates this sister-in-law. Love is because Kang's has always been generous, every time he comes back, everyone has a generous gift, especially those fashionable clothes and jewelry in the capital, which can surprise people every time. Shen Rong liked some of the gifts she brought her, but she also resented Kang's contemptuous attitude towards her.

This time, Kang came back to visit his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Gao first had a lot of gifts, including food and clothing. These are not only the hearts of their young couple, but also the greetings that Mr. and Mrs. Kang specially let them bring back. Aunt Liu's there, Kang's also prepared a set of rouge gouache, which is famous in Beijing, because Aunt Liu is the favorite of Master Gao, so this little favor, Kang's still does it very well. As for the Jinyu brothers and sisters, Jin Min has come to love martial arts, and Kang's trustee found a sword, which is said to be sharpened like clay, secretly hidden in the cage, ready to wait to see him alone, and Jin Xiu gave it to him, on the bright side is a set of four treasures of the study, which is a gift to please Lord Gao. Jinyu is a few fine fabrics, several sets of popular dresses in the capital, plus a complete set of fine mutton fat jade heads. Even so, Kang's was still not enough, and after seeing Jinyu, he took off a pair of jade bracelets of jasper in his hands. I don't know if it's fate, Kang's likes this quiet and gentle sister-in-law for no reason. Shen Fang's gift was a pot of green peonies that Jin Xiu specially went to the famous garden in the capital to buy, as well as a set of dresses and a box of rouge. The dress and rouge are all Kang's things, but the pot of green peony was bought back by Jin Xiu who took pity on her young sister and deliberately bought it back for her at a high price. As for Shen Rong, Kang's did not allow Jin Xiu to interfere, saying that his father had always favored this sister and loved her talent, so the gifts had to be ingenious. She deliberately went to the bookstore to buy a complete set of women's rings, a set of sheep's hair, a side inkstone, and the most popular rice paper used by the scholars in the capital. It was packed in a delicate pineapple wooden box, and Jin Xiu was not allowed to look at it. Just say that everything is a high-quality product. Because it was something from his daughter's family, Jin Xiu naturally didn't want to ask more. Just when Kang's is not bound to treat this big sister whose father loves him like a treasure.

Jinyu is also very affectionate to this sister-in-law, because her personality is hearty and straightforward, although she is a little proud, but she does not have any bad intentions and scheming, and her sister-in-law has always been very happy to get along. After receiving Kang's gift, she was naturally full of gratitude. Although the Gao family is also a famous family, Master Gao is notoriously strict in the dress of his children, of course, Shen Rong has always been an exception. Jinyu's dresses have always been plain, and the patterns are also very rigid. What teenage girl doesn't like to be pretty? Kang's gift can be said to fill Jinyu's shortcomings in clothing. However, after receiving the gift, Jinyu still privately asked Green Smoke to pick out some pink and bright fabrics to send to Shen Fang. Like Jinyu, Shen Fang doesn't have many out-of-the-box clothes. That's an afterword.

Now there are only Master Gao, Jin Xiu and Jin Xiu and Jin Yu in Hancui Hall. When Master Gao saw Jinyu, he smiled and praised Jinxiu: "Yu'er is now grown up, and she will help me take care of the director." If you are a man, Yu'er may not be inferior to you! Saying that, he counted the advantages of Jinyu, what tolerance and generosity, what generosity and ability, and the Jinxiu couple who listened were stunned. Wasn't Daddy's favorite before Shen Rong? When did it change to Jinyu? And today, why haven't Shen Rong and Aunt Liu, who have always eaten well in front of their father, disappeared until now? With suspicion in their stomachs, the two of them forced a smile and listened to Master Gao praise Jinyu. Jinyu was praised by Master Gao and was very embarrassed. Master Gao was in high spirits, so naturally he didn't notice the question mark on his son's daughter-in-law's face.

Aunt Liu actually knew the news of the return of Jin Xiu and his wife for the first time. However, she was copying scriptures in Mrs. Hu's Lanxiang Pavilion at that time. And Hu Shi hasn't left yet, so of course she has no reason to go alone. Shen Rong was also very excited when she learned the news of Jin Xiu's return. Although the sister-in-law doesn't want to see her, the eldest brother has always treated her kindly. Moreover, every time she came back, her sister-in-law would bring them gifts from the capital, which were all things that Shen Rong yearned for. It's a pity that she is still grounded now, and Mother Zhao will not allow her to step out of the Lingzhi Garden. So I just feel that this yard is more depressing. As for Shen Fang, Aunt Wu and the Red Lotus Green Branch couldn't get through the water of Linglong Garden, so naturally there was no way to know the news of the return of my brother and sister-in-law.

After seeing Master Gao, the young couple went straight to Hu's Lanxiang Pavilion. Jinyu was busy arranging their quarters and the servants they had brought. Because the Kang family was pampered and brought a lot of slaves, plus their cages and other things, Jinyu's plan to arrange for them to live in the guest room was aborted. I had to vacate the place that was originally intended for my aunt to live in and give them a place for their young couple to live in. The aunt's residence was arranged by Jinyu through the Hu family in the backyard wing of the Hu family's Lanxiang Pavilion. Jinyu also offered to share a room with her third cousin. So after some planning, the accommodation of the guests who have come to the family and who are about to come are finally arranged.

Lanxiang Pavilion, after Jin Xiu and his wife gave a big gift to the Hu family, they unexpectedly found the Liu family who had been standing aside with low eyebrows. Jin Xiu still greeted the Liu family gently and politely, but the Kang family just nodded and smiled at the smiling Liu family. Liu stood there, the embarrassment in his heart can be imagined. For a long time, because of the relationship between Master Gao, she has held her head high in front of these juniors. This time, he was forced to bow his head to serve the Hu family, and he had to look at Kang's face. Hu Shi didn't do anything about Kang's performance, and he didn't pay attention to Liu's, but just kept greeting Jin Xiu, asking them about their journey along the way, whether they were tired or not, and the people who accompanied them did not serve them wholeheartedly, and asked Kang if he could get used to the weather here. When Kang saw that his mother-in-law neither praised nor criticized, he knew that he had done nothing wrong. This Liu family, relying on a bit of posture, does not give her mother-in-law any anger on weekdays. It's rare to have such a good opportunity now, my mother-in-law hurts herself, and if you don't make up for it now, when will it take time to get it back? So he happily mentioned Jinyu again, and talked about how Master Gao praised Jinyu. Hu Shimei, who listened to it, smiled and felt that this daughter-in-law was really caring. And Liu listened to it, but it was because of his troubles. has always been Shen Rong who has been praised by Master Gao, but now Shen Rong has been locked up and grounded, and she doesn't know when she can be released and continue to get the favor of Master Gao. Then I thought of my youngest daughter Shen Fang, and now she has a recurrence of her old illness, and she has the heart to visit, but she was told that the master ordered that except for the people around Jinyu and Shen Fang, no one else should enter Linglong Garden, saying that it was afraid that it would alarm the third lady. Seeing Hu smiling so brightly, Liu couldn't help but feel a little sad. Why, God is so unfair to Himself. Hu was born in a famous family, and he is a wife, and even his heirs are both children and daughters. Brother and sister Jin Xiu can get the favor of the master. He was born poor, and was sold into the Qinglou by his ruthless brother and sister-in-law since he was a child, and finally met Master Gao, and finally got the favor of Master Gao, but he only gave birth to two daughters. Shen Rong had always been a sole favor before, and she was still very comforted in her heart, but now that she is like this, she is really unwilling. In any case, she wants to fight for the best for her two daughters! In any case, she couldn't just look at Hu Shi satisfied! She wants people to know that although she is just a side house, her daughter is the best!
