Chapter 368: Strange Greetings
The feast of Jiafu entertaining the ladies is placed in the cold incense pavilion, here is very lively, only to see the courtyard is full of lights, the scene of flowers, the red, pink, yellow flowers and bonsai are piled up in a courtyard, the corridor is hung with fluttering ribbons, there are all kinds of small bells tied to it, the breeze blows, it jingles up, it is not lively. The courtyard is staggered, the guests are full, and there are brightly dressed girls and mothers-in-law entertaining the ladies of various provinces everywhere.
Seeing the Lin family and the others coming in the door, someone came forward and said, "But the grandmother of the Qin Mansion? ”
Lin glanced at the girl slightly, and saw that she was seventeen or eighteen years old, well-dressed, and the gold, silver and jade ornaments on her body were a few points more valuable than the grandmother in the small household, knowing that she had a face in front of Mrs. Jia, so she didn't dare to hold it up, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Miss Lao asked." ”
The girl smiled, "The slave maid is the big girl in Mrs. Jia's room, and grandma calls me Brother Parrot." ”
Lin smiled and nodded.
Brother Parrot took a group of people to the courtyard, and said as he walked: "Before the banquet starts, the lady and the sixth lady, the eldest grandmother is talking to the ladies and ladies of the various provinces in the wing room, and the eldest grandmother orders the slave maid to guard the courtyard early in the morning, and let the slave and maid take you there earlier." ”
Zhang's ability to direct Mrs. Jia's henchman and big girl to make the group turn around?
Qin Dai was slightly surprised, was it the favor of Mrs. Zhang's Jia, or was it something else?
There is no way to verify.
The group followed the girl named Parrot to the wing.
It is said to be a wing room, but after all, this is the place where Jiafu entertains guests, so the layout of the room is also extremely luxurious, the dark fragrance lingers in the room, and the ladies and dependents are wearing brightly colored clothes or sitting or standing together, and the person sitting in the middle is not Mrs. Jia?
Mrs. Jia wore a silver-red fine silk hexagram embroidered with gold all over the place. underneath wore an eight-piece Hunan skirt with dark brocade. Comb a peony bun, wear a whole set of emerald jade head, insert two ruby dotted emerald hairpins, and wear two earrings made of whole East Pearls on the ears, the two East Pearls are similar in size, similar in color, and they all exude the unique softness of new pearls, and you know that they are not ordinary at a glance.
There was a shallot-like person standing next to Mrs. Jia, twenty-eight years old, and he was born with a good appearance. Small round face, willow eyebrows, round and bright eyes. A small cherry mouth, and two shallow pear sockets when laughing.
It's not stunning, but it's also a very beautiful beauty.
Qin Dai saw it from afar, guessed that this person was Miss Jia Liu, and looked up and down. I just think that this girl's style is really incomparable to ordinary people, in the end, it is a young lady who has been carefully taught, although she is a concubine, but she can't see anything wrong, I heard that Miss Six has been extremely smart since she was a child, and she likes to read. is good at music and rhythm, no wonder people are like willows, and there is a faint arrogance of pine.
Alas. Temperament is really not something that can be cultivated in three or five days. Just like now, I don't know who said something, and the people around me laughed good-naturedly, although Miss Jia Liu was very embarrassed. But he didn't look like he was twisting, but stood there generously. There is also a polite smile on her face, but she is a girl, even if she is generous, it is impossible not to react at all in the face of other people's jokes, if you look closely, you will find that Miss Jia Liu's face is red, and her eyes are flashing with shy light.
Everyone secretly remembered Miss Jia Liu's expression in their hearts, and at the same time, some people quietly praised it.
Brother Parrot stepped forward and said, "Madam, grandma, grandma Qinfu is here with a few young ladies." ”
Zhang, who had been entertaining the ladies and dependents, also turned his head, got up and came to Lin's place, and affectionately took her arm and said, "My eyes are going to see through, unhurried." Come on, my mother wants to meet you too. ”
The Lin family was flattered, so he naturally agreed, and hurriedly followed the Zhang family to see Mrs. Jia.
Mrs. Jia nodded with a smile, asked people to help Lin away, and asked her how she was doing, why Fang Wanru didn't come, and so on.
The Lin family answered one by one, and asked the three young ladies of the Qin family to visit Mrs. Jia.
Mrs. Jia nodded with a smile, her eyes turned on Miss Qin San, and she hurriedly took it back.
The ladies have different thoughts, and Mrs. Jia likes the third lady of the Qin family, and they know more or less.
The atmosphere in the room was delicate, and everyone's attention unconsciously moved away from Miss Jia Liu and put it on Qin Daixin.
Lin noticed something was wrong, and thought badly, Miss Jia Liu is the protagonist today, no matter what the reason, she can't steal the limelight of the Jia family, she hurriedly put her eyes on Miss Jia Liu, and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Miss Six is getting more and more beautiful, I heard that you have been obsessed with practicing?" ”
Before Lin got married, she had seen Miss Jia Liu a few times in the capital, but she felt that although she was still young at that time, her temperament was very calm, and her conversation was also very extraordinary.
Miss Jia Liu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and called, "Grandma." Then he added, "It's just an occasional bullet." ”
Zhang took the opportunity to say: "Where is the occasional playing, she, stay in the piano room all day, a play is four or five hours, in addition to playing the piano, but also to take out time to read books, play chess, even the female red is reluctant to throw it down, such a busy person, how can she have time to participate in the party of our idlers!" ”
Everyone hurriedly praised a few words, and then praised: "In the end, Mrs. Jia will teach her daughter." ”
Miss Jia Liu is a concubine, her aunt has a thin life, and she died when she was three years old, Mrs. Jia has no daughter, for the sake of this child's well-behaved and pitiful sake, she raised her under her own name.
Although Mrs. Jia treats Miss Six as well as her own child, she has never treated her harshly, and even faintly hints at her.
Everyone saw it clearly and praised Mrs. Jia for her virtue.
Lin quietly glanced at the congratulatory gifts piled up on the side of the case, turned around and took the box prepared early in the morning from the girl's hand, "Today is your birthday, I have prepared a thin gift for you, and I hope that Miss Six will not dislike it." ”
Miss Jia Liu took the box and said coquettishly: "Grandma is used to saying kind words, Jingzhi has thanked grandma here." Miss Jia Liu later learned that it was a piano score, and she was so happy that she was in her heart, of course, this is a later story.
The second lady also handed over a delicate box and said, "Sixth Miss, this is my little heart, I hope you like it." Then he solemnly handed over a gorgeous and extraordinary box, "My mother is not here, otherwise why wouldn't she come to cheer when she learned about Miss Six's birthday?" Although she didn't come, she also prepared Miss Six's birthday early. She handed the box to the mother-in-law on the side and said with a smile, "I hope you like it." ”
Qin Qianxin had never said such a scene before, but today she said it very beautifully. It's just that this kind of thing shouldn't be done by the daughter-in-law?
Someone felt something wrong, and looked at Lin with a blank look.
The Zhang family was secretly angry, but she couldn't get started, after all, this is a family matter, no matter how good her relationship with the Lin family is, she can't stand up for her in this matter.
Miss Jia Liu was slightly blessed, "I also asked the second miss to thank Mrs. Qin for me." ”
Qin Daixin also took the box in Xue Qing's hand and handed it to the mother-in-law, "This is my birthday gift for Miss Six, I wish Miss Six a happy birthday." ”
"Uh, thank you." Few people would use such a blessing, although it sounded fresh, but the meaning was good, Miss Jia Liu also politely thanked her, and looked at Qin Dai's heart carefully by the way.
is really a beauty, no wonder her mother looks at her differently, not to mention that a man looks at her, even if she is a woman who sees her, she will feel a little ashamed of herself.
Miss Six shook off the strange thoughts in her head, and showed a smile that was not very comfortable, no matter how beautiful she looked, what was the use, but she was the daughter of a businessman, I heard that she had never learned any skills since she was a child, and she was not very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, such a woman, what did she compare with herself?
Miss Jia Liu probably hadn't been out and around for a long time, so she didn't know much about Miss Qin San's makeover.
At this moment, Miss Qin Si also sent a congratulatory gift that had been prepared early in the morning, but she didn't bring anyone with her, so the gift was always on herself. Miss Qin Si also said a few beautiful words, and only after getting Miss Six's response did she retreat to the Lin family.
Qin Dai felt strange, but she didn't say much.
Someone felt that Miss Six's gaze was very meaningful, and immediately asked, "Third Miss, Mrs. Jia seems to like you very much!" There was a thick sour tone in this person's tone, Qin Daixin turned her head to take a look, and recognized that this lady had three daughters to be married in her family, and she seemed to like the Jia family's relatives very much.
Where there are people, there will be trouble, and where there are women, there will be more trouble, Qin Daixin feels that this is quite normal.
"Madame's words, Mrs. Jia feels sorry for the juniors, who in the entire Taizhou City doesn't know? Mrs. Jia treats the ladies of all provinces the same, I didn't notice how special she liked me, Mrs. Jia is in doubt, it is better to ask Mrs. Jia on the spot. Qin Dai smiled, as if she didn't hear this sarcasm at all.
The man stopped talking, she just wanted to stab this Miss Qin San, who didn't know the height of the sky, with words, where would she be willing to do such a shameless thing as questioning Mrs. Jia in person? ?
The people who originally planned to watch the excitement are also honest at the moment, everyone can see that this Miss Qin San is not easy to deal with, although Mrs. Jia likes her, but in the end, the two families have not officially agreed on a family affair, some things do not need to be rushed, and it is still too late to plan carefully.
Mrs. Jia heard it clearly on the side, on the one hand, she was very satisfied with Qin Daixin's answer, at this time, the Jia and Qin families must draw a clear line, and on the other hand, she felt very melancholy, as if she had missed the most beautiful thing.
Mrs. Jia felt regretful, but she also had to recognize the facts, she was the person that Prince Rui liked, and she was the person that the eldest princess valued, and her unsuccessful son was indeed not worthy of her.
A decent housekeeper mother came out from behind and whispered in Zhang's ear.
After hearing this, Zhang nodded, then turned around and said, "Mother, the banquet is ready, do you think we will go over here?" ”
Mrs. Jia nodded, and the sixth lady on the side hurriedly helped her get up and helped to trim her clothes.
Only then did all the ladies get up and follow Mrs. Jia to the main room.
