But he said that in the afternoon of the same day, Qin was looking at Lin Dong's embroidery in the house, and heard a report outside: "The old lady brought her two sisters and got off the car outside the door." Hearing this, the Qin family hurriedly cleaned up, sent someone to invite Lin Jinlou and Lin Jinxuan, brought Lin Dongxiu and Tan Luhua to the front to greet them, and brought people in.

The Qin clan immediately ordered the seat to catch the wind, and sent people to put the luggage in Mengfang Courtyard. This Mengfang Courtyard was originally Lin Changmin's residence in the capital, and Lin Jinxuan now lives in the Kang Shou Residence is symmetrical, there are about five or six rooms, the front hall and the back house are complete, and another door leads to the street, and the corner door of the back house has a road leading directly to the inner house of the Lin Mansion, which is very close to the Rongshou Hall where the Qin family lives. The Qin family ordered people to clean it up overnight yesterday, and all the things used were available, and a few rough mothers-in-law and small servants were specially allocated, which was obviously a warm hospitality.

After entering the hall, everyone sat down, the maid served tea, and Jiang's mother offered all the gifts and gifts of human favors and local objects, and then smiled: "At my age, I am already quite a spring and autumn person, the younger son can't come back in Fujian, and the eldest son wants to go to Zhejiang, so it is inevitable to be bothered in the house, which is really not like words." ”

Qin smiled with a spring breeze on his face, and said: "They are all relatives of the family, and they come and go diligently on weekdays, and the old lady will see the outside when she says this." He ordered Tan Luhua and Lin Dongxiu to salute Jiang's mother, and Jiang's mother also ordered the two girls of the Jiang family to salute the Qin family, the two girls are Jiang's mother's granddaughters, one is called Jiang Danyun, the other is called Jiang Xiyun, the two are from different aunts, and the age difference is one year. Jiang Danyun was born slender and slender, with a melon seed face, thin eyebrows and handsome eyes, and elegant Wencai; Jiang Xiyun has a slight body, picturesque eyebrows, a skin as bright as snow, and a pair of small dimples on her goose egg face, which is indescribably beautiful. Both of them are difficult to find beauties, but Jiang Danyun and Jiang Xiyun stand together, so they are inferior.

Qin's family held a girl in one hand, couldn't help but look at it carefully, and said to Jiang's mother with joy: "It's only been a year or two, and the two girls have seen each other again, they really look like fairy daughters, the old lady is really blessed, my girls are all down!" ”

Mother Jiang smiled and said: "Who said that the embroidered girl is a rare beauty embryo, your second daughter-in-law is also one in a hundred, and her eyebrows and eyes are angry, you will coax people with a clever mouth." After a pause, he said, "Originally, I said that I would only bring Miss Xi over, but Dan Girl was filial piety, and she wanted to serve me and come with her." ”

Qin said with a smile: "It's good if there are more people, their little sisters' families, it's good to have a companion when they get together." Let Jiang Danyun and Jiang Xiyun sit separately, and said, "It's the same here as your own home, don't be restrained, there are your sisters-in-law and sisters here, although they are clumsy, they can be accompanied by one place to relieve boredom, if you suffer any grievances, just come and sue me, and your cousin and aunt will give you anger." He asked her carefully what books they both read and what they did on weekdays.

Jiang's mother said: "When the girls were young, they all followed the boys to enlighten and recognize a few words, Dan girl and her eldest sister Feiyun were from the same draft, and they knew how to write poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Qin Shi smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that your family Feiyun is a famous talented woman, especially a good Danqing, even the nobles in the palace praise her." Looking at Jiang Danyun, he said with a smile, "This kid has such talent, and he deserves to come out of the university scholar's mansion." ”

Jiang Danyun raised his eyebrows and said modestly: "My cousin and aunt praised it falsely, my eldest sister is good at Danqing, I have been playing the piano since I was a child, and I was instructed by a famous teacher, and now I can listen to one or two, so as not to fall into the reputation of the master." ”

Qin smiled slightly and praised twice, Jiang Danyun wanted to say more, but saw that Qin had turned his head and asked Jiang Xiyun: "Do you also learn some poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays?" ”

Jiang Xiyun's mellow face said with a smile: "My sisters are all extremely powerful, only I can't write or write, I can't learn and learn, poetry and song are all half-, and I am barely strong in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so don't mention it." ”

Jiang's mother said with a smile: "Poetry and songs are all made by men to make a living, Xi Yatou is good at making articles, and she can also use a good needlework, I use the forehead, hand tube, knee pads, shoes and socks for the four seasons, all of which are made by her, and the patterns are interesting and bright." ”

At this time, I saw a group of maids supporting Wei and holding a son in, that person was about twenty years old, with a satin blue scarf on his head, and a gold embroidered crane and deer with spring on his body, with a pale face, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and sickly cheeks. Jiang Danyun and Jiang Xiyun got up to see each other, and Qin smiled and said, "He is Brother Xuan, your second cousin." Dan and Xi called out one after another: "Second cousin." ”

Lin Jinxuan was not used to seeing guests, he only smiled shyly on his face, bowed, Tan Luhua helped him sit on the chair, and hurriedly took the cushion, led the pillow and other cushions behind Lin Jinxuan, and personally presented Lin Jinxuan with a bowl of tea.

Mother Jiang looked at Lin Jinxuan carefully and said to the Qin family: "I see that Brother Xuan'er is in good spirits, and he is much stronger than before. ”

Qin said with a smile: "No, it's all his daughter-in-law who serves him well." ”

Tan Luhua got this sentence, felt comfortable, and said with a smile: "Mother praised me indiscriminately, how can I have any credit." ”

Everyone gossiped a few words, and the maid had changed the tea fruit again, and Qin asked again, "Where is Brother Lou?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

There was a serving daughter-in-law in Qin's room, called Qiaohui, who came in from outside the door and said, "I just went to invite, there is a guest in front of the uncle, and I will come back later." Qin smiled at Jiang's mother and said, "Look at this child, you know that you are busy all day long." Everyone said again, and Qiao Hui came in and replied: "Uncle Fang Cai sent someone from the second gate, saying that he is busy with affairs, and he will come again tomorrow to greet the elders." ”

Qin's face sank, and he said lightly: "What a big thing, I even refused to come over, let him come over immediately." ”

Mother Jiang hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Lou is in a high position, naturally he is entangled in official duties, see him today and tomorrow is the same, why bother him on business." ”

Qin said: "When the elders come, they naturally have to be good at giving birth to courtesy, these are okay, I know it in my heart." He smiled at Jiang Danyun and Jiang Xiyun again: "Your eldest cousin, you met ten years ago, and you used to play together, I don't know if you remember?" He has been in the army all the year round, first he read some sage books, I am afraid that these years have long been idle to eat, mixed with rough speech, and your family of those gentle, well-read and thoughtful brothers, you don't see his temper is a little reckless, but people are excellent, willing to control, can take responsibility, and are willing to pay hardships, big and small things have not missed a little, whether it is the elders of the family, brothers and sisters, has always been extremely maintained. As he spoke, he seemed to look at Jiang Xiyun with his eyes.

Jiang Danyun said with a smile: "The eldest cousin has become a third-grade official at such an age, and our family has never had one." ”

Jiang Xiyun said: "I have long heard the elders in the family say that the eldest cousin has military merits at a young age, and he is extremely capable. ”

Before he could say a word, he only heard a sound of footsteps outside, and Qiaohui opened the curtain and smiled: "Uncle is here." At this time, Lin Jinlou had already walked to him, raised his hand and opened the curtain and came in, except for Jiang Mu and Qin, the rest stood up. Dan and Xi saw that the comer was born very tall and straight, with a dark gauze crown on his head, wearing a brocade and hemp embroidered Xinshao Ruyi shirt, a jade and woven gold belt around his waist, and green satin boots on his feet, with sword eyebrows and a straight nose, and he was extremely heroic. As soon as he came in, everyone in the room held their breath, and Dan and Xi felt that they had never seen such a domineering, calm and calm person.

Seeing this, the Qin family smiled and said, "But here, don't you see the old lady and your cousins soon." Lin Jinlou was busy with the three of them, and when he sat down, he looked at Jiang Mu twice, and then went to see two cousins, only to see one tall and one short, one slender and one plump, and the plump body was more beautiful than thinner, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, only to see her head with a bun on the side, three lotus agate hairpins, wearing a rose two-color gold armor, snow-colored underwear, and a lotus-colored thread skirt under her knees, her eyes were like paint, bright and clear, seeing Lin Jinlou looking at her, she couldn't help but bloom a sweet smile slightly, faintly revealing two pear blossom vortices, Immediately, the house was full of pearls and emeralds, as if they had lost their color in an instant.

Lin Jinlou was stunned, and the Qin family had already identified: "This is your Jiang family's fourth cousin Danyun, this is your fifth cousin Xiyun, when she was a child, several of their sisters came to our house to play, and Xiyun is still a little fat girl." ”

Lin Jinlou said with a smile: "I remember, my fifth cousin was very young, chased after me, and asked me to go to the pool to help her fish and fight butterflies." ”

Jiang Xiyun lowered her head and blushed, Jiang's mother had already nodded at Jiang Xiyun and said with a smile: "Since she was a child, she said that she was no longer allowed to go to the pool, and she always didn't listen. ”

Jiang Xiyun stretched out her hand and hooked Jiang's mother's sleeve, straightened the skirt for her, looked at him left and right, and said, "Old lady, the dress you are wearing today looks good." A group of children are delicate, and their appearance is as pleasing as a milk cat called by Mimi, which caused everyone to laugh.

Mother Jiang's eyes were loving, and she grabbed Jiang Xiyun and said, "You little monkey." ”

Jiang Danyun didn't speak just now, and when he saw this, he hurriedly interjected, went to pull Jiang Xiyun's hand, and whispered: "You have this mouth, it's strange that the old lady loves you the most, I don't follow, and the old lady also hugs me." Saying that, Yu Guang went to Lin Jinlou, but he didn't dare to take a closer look, and his face turned red first.

Mother Jiang coughed and said: "Reasoning, I shouldn't have said such a thing when I came here today, but now I have to be cheeky and ask my nephew for a thing" Mother Jiang cherished her face all her life, rarely asked for help, and before she finished speaking, her face was embarrassed.

This was mentioned by Jiang's mother in the letter to the Qin family beforehand, and when the Qin family saw this description, they took the words and said to Lin Jinlou with a smile: "Your Jiang family's second cousin Jing Pei is the deputy commander of the seventh grade in the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division in Kyoto, and he is very martial arts, but your uncle is now going to Zhejiang, he is very filial piety, and he wants to serve with him, but there is no familiar person in the Zhejiang army, so he can't find any decent errands. ”

Jiang Xiyun was relieved, and looked at Lin Jinlou intently, this Jiang Jingpei was the elder brother of her Yun family, and she was really concerned in her heart. At this time, the red note came out with a tray painted red with gold and red to offer tea for fruits, Jiang Xiyun hurriedly stepped forward, personally took a bowl of tea, served it to Lin Jinlou, and said with a smile: "Big cousin, eat tea." Seeing a few more plates of tea and fruit on the tray, he picked the best plate, served it to Lin Jinlou attentively, and said with a smile, "Big cousin, this plate has the most red fruit, you eat this plate." "If others do this, they will definitely seem to be unladylike, but this Jiang Xiyun is born plump and petite, although she is fifteen years old, she still has a delicate childishness, and her face is extremely beautiful and generous, which makes people feel particularly clever and pleasing.

Qin couldn't help but laugh and pointed, "Look at her, just like when she was a child." When I was a child, I wanted to eat more snacks, so I knew how to run to my lap and be coquettish, and praised vigorously, "Uncle Cousin, you look so good", "Uncle Cousin, your dress is so beautiful."

Before he could say a word, the room full of people couldn't help but laugh. Lin Jinxuan laughed a few times and couldn't help coughing, Tan Luhua hurriedly stroked his chest, brought a cup of tea with his own hands, served Lin Jinxuan to drink to moisten his throat, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Jiang Danyun covered her mouth and chuckled: "The fifth sister only recognizes the eldest cousin for the sake of the second brother, and now she only knows the eldest cousin, and she doesn't know how to change the tea for her grandmother and cousin." This is obviously a joke, but secretly it is a run. Mother Jiang frowned slightly.

Jiang Xiyun looked coquettish as if he didn't understand, because everyone joked, and there was some sneering, a little face turned red, and he was busy changing tea for Jiang's mother and Qin's family, and peeled two fruits with his own hands, and held them in front of Jiang's mother and Qin's with a handkerchief and said: "The fruit I peeled with my own hands, my eldest cousin doesn't have it, I have honey in my hands, and the peeled ones are very sweet, elders, taste them." ”

The corners of Qin's mouth immediately raised, and a smile bloomed on his face.

Jiang's mother scolded with a smile: "This little slippery head, beating a child is like this, it is really not loved, nor is it hated." ”

Lin Jinlou raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this Jiang Xiyun is really a person with eyebrows and eyes, such a look, and the women who will come to things are usually in the Qinglou, and the daughters are all pampered and self-conscious, they can be so generous and can laugh, they seem to be coquettish, but they are actually shrewd people, it is really rare, and I see her smiling, she is really cute. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "After drinking the tea of my fifth cousin, I naturally have to do things for others, this is easy to say, let my cousin come tomorrow, and after asking him what he means, I will write a letter to Yang Zhaolin, the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command, and he will arrange it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the three members of the Jiang family couldn't help but be overjoyed, Jiang Xiyun immediately held the handkerchief to Lin Jinlou, and said with a flattering and courteous smile: "Big cousin has worked hard, come and eat the fruit." ”

Everyone laughed again, and Lin Jinlou couldn't hold back his laughter, and reached out to take one. Jiang Xiyun's little face was flushed, Qin looked at Lin Jinlou, and then at Jiang Xiyun, with a satisfied look on his face, and slowly bowed his head. Jiang Danyun's eyes were already red, and when he looked up, he bumped into Lin Dongxiu's disdainful face, and both of them were stunned, and then they changed their eyes in understanding, and each lowered his head.

At this time, Shuran stood outside the window and shrank his head, Lin Jinlou remembered that there were guests in front of him, and he must have been impatient to wait, so he urged Shuran to come and visit, so he stood up and said: "The younger generation still has a business trip, so I will stay for a while, and I will go to my aunt and old lady to say goodbye when I have leisure in two days." ”

Mother Jiang hurriedly said: "You just have to go, the gentlemen are all businessmen, not better than our daughters to spend time together." ”

Lin Jinlou got up and saluted and said goodbye, walked to the door, paused suddenly, turned around and said with a smile: "I almost forgot something, my mother borrowed someone from me this afternoon, and I haven't paid it back, and now I have returned it to my house." ”

Qin's face smiled, in the afternoon Lin Dongxiu in her room to show her the dowry embroidered by hand, she saw that the patterns were not fresh, said Xianglan would draw a lot of fresh patterns, so she called someone to her room, just came to the person, this busy left Xianglan in the house, I knew that she should have sent her back earlier, just wanted to say that Xianglan was not there, this Lin Dongxiu suddenly said: "Xianglan is in the room, I will call her." He didn't look at Qin's face, and walked back to the inner room by himself.

Xianglan was drawing patterns in front of the kang table, and Lin Dongxiu came in and pulled her arm and said, "Let's go, the eldest brother is calling you in front." ”

Xianglan heard the laughter from time to time in front of her, and knew that it was the Jiang family who had arrived, so she hesitated: "This is not good." The fourth girl said that I was not there, and I would go back when the guests left. ”

Lin Dongxiu glared and said, "Why wait for them to leave before you go out, you can't see anyone." ”

Xianglan was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lin Dongxiu gritted his teeth and said: "You don't know that there are two girls from the Jiang family, there is one named Xiyun who is so hateful, stealing the limelight everywhere to show her ability, I know which tail of the fox spirit it is at a glance, hum, what are they running to, Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, you want to go out here." Saying that, he looked Xianglan up and down, and saw that she was dressed plainly, so he took scissors and went to cut the orchid in the flower pot on the side, and said: "I knew that you should dress brightly today, first cut this pot of flowers on your hairpin, and then let someone send a pot." ”

Xianglan hurriedly stopped, and said with a solemn face: "Don't make trouble, I won't be hairpin if you cut it!" ”

Lin Dongxiu glared at Xianglan as if she was angry, and said, "I am for you, and I am kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

Xianglan looked at Lin Dongxiu, since she entered Beijing, Lin Dongxiu has been much warmer with her, and she can see that she really wants to make friends with her, but she has not reached the point where she can stand up for her. Xianglan knew Lin Dongxiu's temperament, this person thought very highly of himself, and was good at jealousy, thinking that Jiang Xiyun must be very outstanding, and he pointed at Miss Lin Si's tendon.

Lin Dongxiu pulled her out. Xianglan couldn't help but get up, straightened her clothes, followed behind Lin Dongxiu, and walked out with her head down, she could only hear the sound of buzzing outside, but as she walked out of the door of the inner room, the hall suddenly fell silent.
