Within a few years, two wives died one after another, and Jin Youcai fell into the reputation of a wife. But since then, he has begun to take concubines on a large scale, probably thinking that his wife can't give birth to a son, and if the concubine can give birth, he also promised that as long as there is a concubine who can give birth to a son, he will straighten her up.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and Jin Youcai has accepted nine concubines until now, but no one can give birth to a son, and only has three concubines.

And Jin Youcai's son Jin Dashun was originally a scholar, and he was weak since he was a child, but he still studied very hard, dragging down his body, and he was gone in his prime, leaving only Jin Mengyu and Jin Zehou two children.

Originally, if Jin Dashun was still alive, Jin Youcai still had some hope, at least his son was still young, and he might give birth to a grandson in the future, but after Jin Dashun died, Jin Youcai panicked, just this one grandson, it was difficult to support the children in ancient times, in case there was a three-long and two-short, wouldn't their Jin family be desperate, who was he leaving such a big family business for.

These annuities have wealth and ask people to see a doctor and see feng shui, anyway, all the methods that can be used have been used, but not long ago, a fortune teller from Youfang pointed him out, saying that this Li Qingxiu girl of the Li family is a blessed person, and after marrying home, it will drive the prosperity of the descendants of the Jin family, so there is a matter of the Jin family and the Lin family conspiring to buy Li Qingxiu.

After hearing this, everyone in the room sighed for a while, it turned out that there was such an inside story. At first, Ruoyun thought that Jin Youcai was the bully who bullied men and women, but he didn't expect that there was actually a reason for it.

Jin Mengyu and Jin Zehou's two children's backgrounds are also quite pitiful. Fucheng inquired that although Jin Youcai is more shrewd and more profitable, he really hasn't done anything too bad in a piece, at most, he is short of catties when buying and selling grain, and some tenant farmers are deducted, but this is what most businessmen will do, otherwise there is a saying that businessmen are heavy profits.

Knowing the situation of the Jin family, Ruoyun summed it up, and felt that this person who has money still has to be used depending on the situation, and he can still get things done if he uses it well. As for the two sisters and brothers of the Jin family, they are relatively pure children, they should be well educated by their mothers, it is said that their mother is a young lady of the Xiucai family, and they can be regarded as a small family jasper, and the family education is okay, but they can socialize.

After learning about the Jin family, Ruoyun had a bottom in his heart, so he put him aside.

Originally, Ruoyun thought that the next few days would be very idle, because the Chinese New Year was the time to go to relatives, but they didn't have any relatives to go, and Mama Liu didn't let Li Manshan go to pay New Year's greetings, so she could only be idle at home.

But I didn't expect that from the third to the fifth day of the junior high school, there will be people who have made good friends in the village to visit the New Year, including Li Da and his family, after coming to pay a New Year's visit, they will stay directly in Fuyuan, Ruoyun gave Li Da a few days off, except for the second day of junior high school, they will go to Hu Shaomei's mother's house, and the rest have been doing things in Fuyuan, and wait until the evening when the two of them go back to their own home, Ruoyun saw that they were enjoying themselves, and did not stop them.

Li Manshan also came to pay New Year's greetings and brought Li Qingmu to come, but he didn't bring the Lin family, thinking that Li Manshan was still angry with Li Dacheng on the day he got married. Tian and his daughter-in-law Ma also came with a little calf and a cow, Li Manshu and his grandson also came, and there were some people in the village who had intersections with Fuyuan.

However, these people did not leave food, but after they came, they said a few auspicious words and left, Ruoyun asked them to prepare pastries for them to take back, which was regarded as a souvenir.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the people of Fuyuan are busy, today is the day when the masters go to Sufu to participate in the plum blossom banquet, the banquet starts at noon, because the road is relatively far, so Ruoyun and others have to go earlier.

said that he would take Li Qingxiu over this time, because when he took her to Suzhou last time, Su Yan and Li Qingxiu also had a good conversation, so he also invited her this time, and Li Qingxiu returned to Fuyuan on the fifth night of the new year.

There are also a lot of people who are going to Su Mansion this time, leaving Li Da and his wife and Xiaobai three to watch the house, and the rest of the masters of Fuyuan will go. Originally, Yin Zhen didn't want to go, but they specially invited Yin Zhen, and Su Xing was still injured, so Yin Zhen also planned to go and see, so he followed.

After everyone was ready, as soon as Niu Bo opened the door, he saw two figures rushing in. Everyone looked at it and it turned out to be Lin and her daughter He Qian.

Since He Qian was frightened by the night departure last time, she didn't dare to go to the door of Fuyuan for so long, why did she come over suddenly today, and it was so early, everyone was a little puzzled.

Ruoyun looked over and found that He Qian had obviously dressed up today, wearing a beige pleated Ruyi skirt, tying a wide rose-red belt, and applying fat powder to her face, but it should be of poor quality, and it was miserably white on her face, giving people a fake feeling, and the beige dress was even more uncomfortable.

This dress looks a little light, and the winter has come like this, He Qian is already shivering a little from the cold, but in order to be able to participate in the banquet of the Su family, what is it to suffer this hardship.

It turned out that when the Lin family saw that Li Qingxiu returned to live in Fuyuan last night, they were a little puzzled, didn't they say that they would live until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? She asked Li Qingxiu, Li Qingxiu didn't pay attention to him, then she was even more curious, so she poured some wine on Li Manshan at night, coaxed Li Manshan to ask what was going on, Li Manshan was a little drunk, but he didn't think it was a big deal, so he told the Lin family, Li Qingxiu was going to attend the banquet in Su Mansion and left early tomorrow morning, so he went back to Fuyuan to live.

When the Lin family heard that she was going to attend the banquet of the Su family, she was very jealous at first, that stinky girl can actually participate in the banquet of the Su Mansion now, but after thinking about it, an idea immediately came to mind, this is a good opportunity.

After thinking about it, they went to He Qian's house to discuss, and the two had the same idea, that is, He Qian must follow him to the banquet in Su Mansion this time, so that they can contact Su Gongzi again, and then they can further fly up the branches.

He Qian saw Su Che at the wedding banquet of Li Dacheng's relatives that day, and the Lin family also thought that Su Gongzi was obviously interested in his daughter, but at that time, many people in the house were disturbed by those people, and they couldn't miss the opportunity to be sent to them this time.

The two got up early in the morning and began to dress up He Qian, for fear of missing the time, they even got up in the middle of the night and began to prepare, He Qian didn't sleep much because she was too excited last night, and she got up early, so her face was not very good, Lin rubbed her thick foundation to hide her face, so she made Ruoyun look miserable and white, and after dressing up, the two ran to the gate of Fuyuan and waited, and as soon as the door was opened, the two rushed in.

Ruoyun and the others were originally going to go out, but they were startled by these two rushing in. Li Da said angrily, "What are you two doing?" "He hates that the Lin family came to Fuyuan under his banner to point fingers, although the girl and the young master are good to him, but he knows his own duty.

Lin and He Qian ignored Li Da, because they looked at Li Qingxiu at this time, and their eyes almost burst into flames.

Today, Li Qingxiu in order not to be too uneasy when she goes out, she also took off her usual simple dress, wore a water-red skirt, crossed the neckline on the chest, exposed a slender neck, and a circle of blue piping on the clothes, one is a wide crimson belt, and a few circles of blue thin straps are attached to the outside, because the weather is cold, and a moon-white cloak is added, the hair is combed into a high bun, and the rest of the long hair is draped over the shoulders, and a jade hairpin is placed on the bun (sent by Ruoyun), Standing there and living like a lady.

Look at He Qian again, although she is also carefully dressed, but she doesn't know, she is shocked, they think that this is already very beautiful, and He Qian herself feels very beautiful today. But now compared with Li Qingxiu, He Qian's clothes are too inferior, the color is not bright enough, the fat powder is not transparent enough, and there is only a silver hairpin on her head, so it is worse than the maid next to Ruoyun.

He Qian looked at Li Qingxiu's dress, and then looked down at the dress on her body, and suddenly a wave of anger surged up, why, why did that village girl actually dress better than me, absolutely not, then wouldn't she be compared, she didn't dare to compare with Ruoyun, because she knew that she couldn't compare to Ruoyun, but Li Qingxiu, who was usually inferior to her (He Qian herself felt so), was so much better than her today, so how did she swallow this breath, stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Qingxiu and said loudly to the Lin family, "Mother, I'm going to get her to change clothes with me! ”

Lin also thinks so, her daughter He Qian's outfit was purchased by her for several taels of silver a few years ago, and she used the best materials in the town, I thought it was already the most beautiful, but I didn't expect to be compared to Li Qingxiu at this time, how can this work, if Qian'er goes to the banquet in Su Mansion like this today, how can she attract the attention of Su Gongzi.

"Hehe, Xiu'er, you are a sister, since your sister likes your clothes, you can change with her, Qian'er's clothes are also very beautiful, I see that your complexion is also white, it is more suitable for wearing beige clothes, but this body on your body is not suitable for you." Lin flickered, because ordinary women would have doubts about their own dress when they heard such words. And she still wanted Li Qingxiu to take He Qian to the Su family's banquet for a while, so she didn't dare to say anything unpleasant now, so she could only use coaxing.

Looking at the sincerity of Lin's face and the reasonableness of his words, if ordinary people might really believe her, but since Lin arrived at the Li family, she has been fooling Li Qingxiu like this all day long, and she has also suffered a lot of losses and already knew the essence of Lin, so at this time, she will not fall for Lin at all, but just said indifferently, "No need, I am taller than He Qian, and her clothes are not suitable for her." We've got something to do now, what are you doing here? ”RS
