The old lady spoke, and most of the people around stopped the original topic and made a deaf look. Miss Shen Er said playfully: "The old ancestor was very good at medical skills back then, and he and Jiuxuan Zhenren naturally discussed the way of medicine. ”

As he spoke, he casually held the tea cup that the old lady had placed on the table, handed it to the old lady with both hands, and said with a smile: "If the old ancestor left some secret recipes or something, the old lady will definitely love me, just go back and copy a copy to me." "The eyes flow between the words, and the half-truths and half-truths are all coquettish.

The old lady laughed twice: "You monkey! Now I want to ask for a dowry at the bottom of the box. There is no secret recipe of the ancestors, just go back and find a suitable man's recuperation recipe for you. ”

After all, Miss Shen Er is an unmarried girl, and she was teased by the old lady for a few words, and she blushed unconsciously, and pulled the old lady's arm and didn't care about it.

Lin Hui looked at Miss Shen Er's face, this young lady was really thin, and there was a pale blue color under her eyes, which could not be covered by powder, and the disease of palace cold was not a day. Don't say anything that is suitable for men and not for men, whether you can have children in the future is a big question. It seems that the old lady is not exactly joking, and she is probably a little worried about Miss Shen Er's body.

"Sister, don't rub the old lady, be careful of being rude in front of people." Suddenly, someone reminded him, his voice was neither high nor low, and he could only hear it from a few people around.

It turned out that Miss Shen came in. It seems that the guests are almost here, and there is no need to guard outside. When Lin Hui raised her eyes, sure enough, the young grandmother who was originally at the door also entered the house, and was pulled by the purple pearl, not knowing what she was talking about.

Miss Shinji sat up straight. His face turned cold for two minutes, and then he laughed again, stood up and gave up his position to Miss Shen: "Sister has worked hard, come over here and talk to the old lady." ”

As he spoke, he consciously took two steps back, and said to the maid who was following Miss Shen: "Picturesque, can you help the eldest lady cook refreshingly with everything outside?" You used to follow me, if you messed around like Qinglian, even my face would be lost to you. ”

At first glance, this is just a mention of a little girl, but when you think about it, it is a big article.

What do you mean by "helping the eldest lady to cook refreshingly"? Could it be that the outside things are done well, in fact, it is not the credit of Miss Shen. But this maid who originally followed the second lady did it?

There is also "messing around with Qinglian". Who is Qinglian? The person who has followed the eldest lady since childhood. And now? Follow the second lady. There's got to be a reason for it, isn't it? Qinglian has also messed around? What's going on?

Wow, there are a lot of eyes on me, some curious, some inquisitive. There are those who despise it. There are contemptuous. There are those who disdain, and there are those who do not reveal it...... Tacit ...... It seems to be quite a few.

The most uncomfortable thing was probably Qinglian, I saw that her face was blue and red, and she was inexplicably sad and angry. knelt down suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Old lady, it's all slaves and maids who are careless, and they have nothing to do with the eldest lady!" There is no greed in slaves and maidservants......"

The old lady brushed her face down, raised her right hand and pressed it, signaling Qinglian not to continue, and said coldly: "Qinglian and Ruhua go down." ”

Don't listen, don't explain.

Is this the time to explain family affairs? No matter how you deal with it, it will make outsiders see the joke, and it is serious to quickly take people away.

Qinglian was already satisfied with what she said, knowing that the old lady would definitely ask carefully today, she kowtowed fiercely, stood up and retreated immediately.

Ruhua was a little unwilling, and opened her mouth, after all, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to retreat.

Miss Shen Er was glared at by the old lady, but she was much more honest and quietly retreated to the side.

As if she hadn't seen it, Miss Shen just sat down beside the old lady unceremoniously, and gave a brief introduction to today's visitors in an orderly manner. As he spoke, he took a fragrant orange from the fruit plate. The slender jade fingers tossed and turned on the orange and yellow fruit, peeled off the peel, separated the flesh petals, and put it in a small saucer and placed it in front of the old lady.

The old lady twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, and nodded lightly while tasting it, not knowing whether she was appreciating the filial piety of the eldest lady or appreciating the good taste of this orange.

Most of the old lady's reluctance to make more trouble played a role, and now the room is full of spring, a happy scene.

After a while, the eldest and youngest grandmother also came over and said with a smile: "Please show the old lady." Seeing that it was almost noon, most of the banquets in Xiangfang Pavilion were about to be put on the table, so it was better for the old lady to move around, disperse with the big guys, and prepare to go over to the banquet. ”

The old lady looked up at the window and snorted.

Miss Shen hurriedly stood up, ready to help the old lady get up. Miss Shen Er also appeared on the other side of the old lady again out of nowhere, and squeezed the young grandmother aside.

So the people came into the courtyard in a great way.

Now the courtyard is a different story. The things that had been placed under the big tree before, after some tidying up, all the chairs were gone, and there seemed to be a few more long tables, which were arranged in a row, and all kinds of gifts were spread out in unison, which looked quite spectacular.

Lin Hui secretly paid attention to everyone's expressions, and no one was surprised, it seemed that the Shen family's arrangement was Shangyi's custom.

The eldest young grandmother walked beside Lin Hui intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile at this time: "Miss Lin, this is the rule of "sunbathing", I heard that it started a few years ago when the lord of the nine counties was on his birthday. I wonder if it's the same in the south?

Lin Hui smiled and shook her head: "I rarely go out, I really don't know." I thought to myself, the Lord of the Nine Counties who came up with such rules didn't know who it was, and he was really shrewd. Putting everyone's gifts in one place is clearly to encourage each other to compare, how to get the worse ones? Under the coaxing, it is naturally the person who receives the gift to benefit.

I saw that before each gift, there were various open gift lists. It's clear what kind of gifts were given.

When Lin Hui looked at it carefully, in addition to herself, there were three or two copies that also had no gift list, and another red and black list was placed in front of the gift box, thinking that it was made by the Shen family. The words on it are decent and have two points of skill, and if you think that the girl is picturesque, she may not be able to write it, most of them are the handwriting of Miss Shen.

It's all here, and it's good to see other people's gifts. Lin Hui carefully read a few copies, and once again regretted that she had forgotten the gift list.

The so-called people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and this gift also depends on the packaging. Some gifts are very extraordinary just on the gift list, the delicate dark paper is faintly fragrant with plum blossoms, and the words on it are bronzing! There is also a gift list made of extremely thin beige boxwood, and the characters on it are written elegantly and extraordinarily, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a calligraphy work.

"Sister Lin, I'm really sorry." Miss Shen Er came out again, and apologized as soon as she opened her mouth: "It's all my bad tuning, I really can't see the words of this girl, and I really don't match it when I put it in front of my sister's gift." ”

Miss Shen Er seemed to show that the back-up gift list was actually written picturesquely. (To be continued.) )
