"Sister-in-law was stunned just now." Jian Ying ruthlessly uncovered her scars, and looked at her with meaningful eyes, "In order to wake up my sister-in-law, I have to work hard, and my sister-in-law owes me a big favor." ”

Meng Xinniang's face turned red at first, and then she understood it knowingly, wiped the water stains on her face with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "You want to blackmail me? ”

"How can it be called blackmail?" Jian Ying grinned, "I thought it would be more elegant to call it a Thanksgiving Pictorial." ”

Meng Xinniang clenched her fists and thought about it, she was also kneeling in the ancestral hall, the young one was fine, but she was a lot older but she was stunned, if people knew, maybe there would be many ugly words.

After weighing it, he reluctantly opened his mouth, "What do you want?" I have a pair of peach blossom jade bracelets there......"

"Discount." Jian Ying said dryly, "One thousand taels." ”

Meng Xinniang immediately raised her willow eyebrows in annoyance, "Brother and sister are inevitably too greedy......

"As soon as the silver is discounted, this sincerity is also discounted. Anyway, when I leave the ancestral hall in a while, I'm going to visit my mother, and my sister-in-law will look at it. After Jian Ying said this, she ignored her and returned to her brocade group to sit down.

Stuffed the soup woman and other things back into his arms one by one, and took out a piece of dim sum to nibble.

Meng Xinniang's face changed for a long time, and after all, she couldn't give up this face, especially unwilling to throw her face in front of Fang's family, and bit her teeth, "One thousand taels is one thousand taels, if my brother and sister break their word and get fat, I won't give up." ”

Jian Yingxin said, "If you are not good, you can still bite me?" Because he still had something to ask her, he didn't bother with her, and took the water bladder containing ginger soup and handed it over, "Sister-in-law, drink a little, don't catch a cold again, the fever burns your brain, and forget about it." ”

Meng Xinniang didn't want to, and felt that there were bursts of chills on her body, and she already had some symptoms of catching a cold. Since he has already torn his face with her, there is no need to hold it in front of her, not to mention that he still spent a lot of money, don't do it in vain.

So he reached out and took it, took the clean corner of the handkerchief, wiped the mouth of the sac carefully, and drank it slowly.

After a few mouthfuls of ginger soup, my body warmed up, and I was not as scared as before.

After kneeling for a long time before, his legs and feet were a little sore, so he followed Jian Ying's example, sat cross-legged boldly, and held the hot water bladder in his arms to warm his hands.

Jian Ying took the half-eaten snack in her mouth, took another piece and shook it in front of her eyes, "Eat?" ”

Meng Xinniang was angry with Fang Shi and Zhou Han, she didn't eat a few bites at the dinner, and the New Year's Eve dumplings were added with condiments, so naturally she didn't dare to eat more, she was really hungry at this time. He took it with a muffled voice and ate it in small bites.

Jian Ying saw that the heat was almost over, so she dragged the futon to her, "Sister-in-law, tell me about the old lady." She died when I was born, and I don't know what it looked like. ”

Meng Xinniang didn't know why she suddenly became interested in the old lady, and said in the ancestral hall that the dead always had some psychological burden, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the altar, "The old lady...... He's a very stylish person......"

"I don't want to listen to these falsehoods, just say when the old lady married into the Zhou family, and what she has done in the Zhou family over the years." Jian Ying interrupted her.

Meng Xinniang was unwilling to listen to her instructions, so she pretended to choke on snacks, picked up the water bladder and drank a few sips of ginger soup. He delayed for a while before he said, "I don't know much about the old lady, I only heard that the old princess was married before the old lady."

The two families somehow had a disagreement, the family affair was dragged on and on, and the old prince was over 20 years old and had not yet married. Later, he rescued the old lady with a beautiful face on the side of the Yellow River, and took the initiative to break off with that side, and then married the old lady, and not long after getting married, he had a prince.

The old prince's body has not been very good, and he died before the age of thirty, and it was the old lady who pulled the prince to grow up alone.

When the prince was a teenager, he accompanied the old concubine to Mount Tai to incense, just in time for the first emperor to sacrifice to the sky, the carriage and horse were frightened, the prince desperately saved the life of the first emperor, and was appreciated by the first emperor and recognized as a righteous son by the first emperor.

After the first emperor returned to Beijing, he issued a holy decree, named the prince as the king of Ji'an, gave this palace to the prince, and posthumously crowned the old prince.

The first emperor came to worship the heavens once every three years, and each time he had to spend several days in the palace. I came a year before I died, and I brought Prince Yong's son with me.

Because Prince Yong's son played well with his second brother, he originally planned to bring his second brother to Beijing to be his companion. Because the princess was reluctant, she gave up.

People outside say that the old lady is the lucky star of the Zhou family, if it weren't for the old lady on a whim and went to Mount Tai to incense, she would not have met the first emperor, and there would be no Ji'an palace today."

After speaking, he glanced at the offering platform again, thought about it carefully, and confirmed that he had not said anything inappropriate, and then he was relieved.

Jian Ying touched her chin with one hand and made a contemplative gesture.

Meng Xinniang felt that it was okay to speak, but once she stopped talking, she always felt hairy in her heart, so she asked without words: "Good manner, why did my brother and sister suddenly ask about the old lady?" ”

"The old lady said that we cared too little about her, so I thought about temporarily cramming and caring more about her old man." Jian Ying's mind was spinning rapidly, and it did not prevent her from talking nonsense.

Meng Xinniang remembered that she was holding the spirit card and knocking and listening before, and her face, which had just looked two points, turned pale again, and she subconsciously leaned towards her. I wondered, how could she not be scared at all?

Finally, the sky was slightly bright, and the king of Ji'an ordered the door of the ancestral hall to be opened, and the girls and mothers-in-law of the two courtyards rushed in, each surrounding their master, shouting and asking for warmth.

Meng Xinniang didn't want to let people see the joke, so she straightened her back and went out first with the help of Zhu Xian's family and a girl named Ziqiang.

Jian Ying was about to pack up her things, so she was one step slower. After leaving the ancestral hall, he sent Xueqin to Jinggu Courtyard to ask if the Fang family was awake. Hearing that Fang Shi was still asleep after taking the medicine, he went straight back to the blue courtyard.

Mother Jiang had already prepared a bath bucket in the house, "Second Young Lady, you hurry up and go in and take a dip, go to the cold, and be refreshed." ”

"No soaking, I'm going to sleep." Jian Ying yawned and was about to go to bed.

Jiang's mother was stunned, "Someone should come to the door to pay New Year's greetings in a while, do you still have time to sleep?" ”

"I want to have it." Jian Ying was already sitting on the bed as she spoke, stretched out her arms and asked Xiao Ji to help her undress, and then instructed Xue Qin, "When I fall asleep, you go to Jingguo Courtyard again, just say that I have a cold and can't get up for a while, please find another decent person to receive the New Year's guests." ”

The Fang clan will take Qiao, but she won't?

The plan set by the two of them together, as a junior, it is not a big deal for her to lose ideas. But if the Fang clan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and treat her like Meng Xinniang, it would be too underestimating her.

Xueqin didn't know that she was going to compete with the Fang family, but when she was going to be lazy, she asked "smartly": "Second Young Lady, do you want to invite a doctor to come over for a trip?" ”

"No, as soon as the doctor comes, it will be difficult to heal." Jian Ying replied vaguely, and fell asleep wrapped in the quilt.
