Chapter 290: Greetings

There were so many people coming today that the gate of the Shen family was almost uncrowded. When I arrived at the door, I found that the daughter-in-law was dressed in the uniform costume of the Shen family's servants, and there was a slip at the gate to greet the female guests.

Fortunately, the Shen family was managed in an orderly manner, and although there were many cars, they arrived after waiting for a while. As soon as the carriage came to a halt at the door, a sturdy servant woman came and pulled up a green cloth curtain more than a man high, so that the female guests who got out of the carriage would not be seen by outsiders.

The daughter-in-law in the car jumped out of the car first, set up the stool and helped Lin Hui get out of the car. Two more daughters-in-law came and stood with their hands hanging on either side, waiting for the way.

Lin Hui raised his eyes and looked around, although the ancestral house of the Shen family was in Qiongtai, the mansion here was also quite large, except that there were no overly high pavilions, it was estimated that it was not much different from the officials.

After entering the gate, a small sedan chair was carried over, which fully took care of the problems that the female guests might have.

The small sedan car has no windows, but the sedan curtain is made of two layers of light yarn, which can not only block the wind and keep warm to a certain extent, but also see the scenery outside. All the way away, I saw the corridor tactfully turned pines and cypresses, which was quite interesting. Many large trees hugged by two people are hidden in front of the porch and behind the house, showing the heritage of the family.

There are several similar sedan chairs along the way, and the maids with the sedan chair look at each other, evaluating each other's identities from details such as clothes and jewelry. There was a sedan chair that was originally behind Lin Hui's sedan chair, but the maid with the sedan chair took two steps and talked with Xiao Keer.

"Are you holding a birthday gift in your hand?" The maid grinned and pointed to the long brocade box that Xiao Ke'er was holding.

When I came to someone's house to celebrate my birthday, of course, what I was holding was a birthday gift. Little Kerr is not slow to react. It immediately occurred to me that I might have to ask what was in the box next.

"Hello sister!" Xiao Keer was specially taught by Lin Hui, there is naturally no shortage of etiquette, and she is young, so she can also sell cute and pretend to be stupid: "What my sister is holding in her hand is also a birthday gift, right?" What's inside? Will it be delicious? ”

As she spoke, Xiao Ke'er also stretched out a finger like a shallot, and nodded on her red little mouth, as if she wanted to taste it.

The maid was much older than Xiao Ke'er, always fifteen or sixteen years old, so she hurriedly hugged the brocade box in her hand tightly, and said with a smile: "How can it be food, it's too much to handle." If my sister is hungry. When you turn around, you must have longevity peaches and longevity noodles to eat. ”

After all, I didn't say what a birthday gift was. I was just asked by Xiao Keer first. But it's not good to ask Xiao Keer about what he has in his hand. The maid's eyes flashed, she took two steps back, put away her smile, and followed her master's palanquin step by step.

The sedan chair skirts the frozen lotus pond and the somewhat withered garden in winter. There were a number of rolling houses in front of me. Suddenly it was lively.

Xu is for the sake of his birthday. The houses are all freshly painted. Snow-white walls, transparent glazed tiles, red lanterns under the eaves, and many flower pots that look like they have just been moved out of the conservatory bring the yard to life.

The daughter-in-law who lifted the sedan curtain helped Lin Hui get off the sedan chair and introduced: "This is the old lady's Cixi Hall. The old lady has always loved to be lively. Therefore, all the ladies of the day are gathered here. Oh, the one over there is the young grandmother of the big house. ”

Lin Hui raised her eyes and saw a young woman in her twenties, smiling and welcoming guests at the door, thinking that she was the eldest and youngest grandmother in charge of the family.

The appearance of the young grandmother is only middle and upper, wearing a red Hunan embroidered horse-faced skirt, a silver ratskin gown on the upper body, the waist is pinched very thin, and there are several pairs of gold and silver jade bracelets on the wrist, which is very charming. The most special thing is a pair of eyes, each greeting a person, is the eyes slightly fixed to look at the two eyes, and then the eyes seem to be able to speak, revealing or admiration or admiration or envy or glory all kinds of looks, the future visitors are greeted very iron.

Behind the grandmother stood an older daughter-in-law in her thirties, helping to say hello.

A young woman came down from the sedan chair in front of Lin Hui, wearing a rose-purple jacket, and a pair of gold silk and red gems on her neck were very eye-catching. The young woman and the eldest young grandmother were about the same age, obviously very familiar with the eldest and youngest grandmother before, and when they got off the sedan chair, the two of them clasped their hands, whispered hello and laughed loudly, very happy.

The eldest grandmother naturally couldn't patronize and make love with her best friend, and when she saw that there was a sedan chair coming behind her, she hurriedly patted Rose Purple on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You go in for tea, and go to live in my yard at night, let's talk again." ”

Rose Ziqi said, "Is there any empty room in your yard?" Isn't there a two-room aunt living in the wing? I can't live in the middle of the house. ”

The eldest young grandmother smiled: "Who dares to give you a partial house to live in." Now the wing room is empty, you can choose it. ”

Rose Purple tacitly gave a thumbs up to the young grandmother, turned around and followed the maid who led the way.

The smile of the young grandmother did not change, she left it directly on her face, turned to Lin Hui, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is a noodle student." is such a beautiful person, why wasn't he born in our family. ”

The daughter-in-law next to Lin Hui hurriedly made fun of her: "This is Miss Hui, the younger sister of Doctor Xiaolin." When the slave maid first saw it, she was not stunned. ”

People are praising themselves for their beauty, but Lin Hui can't say anything, she just smiles and says hello.

At this time, the older daughter-in-law, who was originally behind the eldest young grandmother, stepped forward lightly and whispered a few words in the ear of the eldest young grandmother, and the eldest and young grandmother did not notice that her expression changed slightly, her eyes widened a little, and she became more and more enthusiastic about Lin Hui.

Stretched out his hand and took Lin Hui's hand, and said with a smile: "Although it is the first time to see you, this sister is really eye-catching!" As he spoke, he took off a red gold bracelet on his wrist, turned around and put it on Lin Hui's wrist, and said, "This will be regarded as a meeting gift." ”

Lin Hui was caught off guard, and after a few pushbacks, the eldest and young grandmother was willing to take it back, so she just smiled and apologized, saying that she couldn't leave, and beckoned a big girl to come over and let Lin Hui inside.

Lin Hui probably knew it in her heart, it seemed that the eldest daughter-in-law was specially mentioning the eldest and younger grandmothers. After all, there are many people who come today, and no matter how delicate the grandmother is, it is not easy to remember that there are many relationships between these many people, so there is a special person to help. It is estimated that the daughter-in-law either said the importance of "Xiaolin Divine Doctor", or pointed out that she was the person Shen Deyuan wanted to see, and she would hopefully become a concubine with her grandmother in the future.

Lin Hui checked the bracelet, it shouldn't be solid, and if you accept it, you will accept it. Lin Hui glanced at the wrist of the young grandmother, estimating that she wore so much, most of them were used for similar purposes.

Lin Hui walked inside and heard the young grandmother behind her greeting a "Miss Nine of the Min Family". My heart moved, this Miss Jiu, I don't know what it has to do with Min Zhiyi. When I looked sideways, I only saw that the woman's red dress was embroidered with very complicated patterns, and the patterns were not surprising, but the strange thing was that it was embroidered with gold thread, and I saw only a piece of golden light, and it was dazzling. (To be continued.) )
