Chapter 155: Going to the Banquet

On the second day, it was the full moon wine of Ren Shijia's newborn.

Old Man Ren and Old Lady Ren led the children and grandchildren of the Ren family to the Lin Mansion, and the Liu family, who came all the way on behalf of the Fang family, took their sons with them.

On the carriage, Xiangqin said with great interest the full moon gift that Mrs. Ren prepared for her little grandson: "...... A pair of red gold unicorn bracelets, a pair of red gold longevity and wealth locks, a pair of Hetian jade double beast longevity locks, six large boxes of clothes, hats, shoes and socks, and a big red seal, I heard that the old lady originally disliked these things and wanted to prepare more Han Qi was persuaded by the old lady, so the old lady's red envelope was afraid that it would be at least this number. Parsley stretched out her finger and counted it.

Ren Yaohua glanced at her: "Are you in a panic all day?" ”

Xiangqin shrunk her neck, leaned over to Ren Yaoqi, and said with some grievances on her face: "The slave just thought, when we came out, my wife only prepared a collar, a gold abacus, and six hundred taels of silver, is it a little less?" In case the other rooms look at the old lady's love for her grandson and give too much, then our three rooms are not ......"

Ren Yaohua snorted lightly: "Who do you think is stupid?" ”

Parsley smiled and said, "Naturally, only slaves and maids are stupid." ”

Ren Yaohua said casually: "This kind of gift list has been discussed by everyone in advance, and each room is not much different. "Ren Yaohua has recently followed Mama Zhou to study affairs, including these personal contacts.

For example, the situation of the Lin family's full moon wine, the people of the Ren family had already discussed it when they left Baihe Town, or the family had a rough standard for this kind of human interaction, and every time they met this kind of red and white happy event, they would follow the conventions set by the family, and they would not make mistakes. So Ren Yaohua was not worried that her mother would upset Mrs. Ren in this matter.

Parsley touched her nose and didn't dare to croak. Immediately, the carriage was much quieter.

The full moon wine that the Lin family held for Lin Cen this time was quite grand, and when the Ren family's carriage arrived at the Lin Mansion, they saw that several carriages had been parked at the door, and the people of the Ren family came early.

The ancestral house of the Lin family is very large, and the old lady Ren and the men of the Ren family were greeted away by their aunt Lin Kun, who was waiting at the door after getting the news, and when the female dependents got off the car, there were already mothers-in-law and maids waiting in front of the door.

Ren Yaoqi and the sisters of the Ren family followed behind the old lady Ren and were welcomed into the second gate. went directly to Ren Shijia's yard.

Originally, Mrs. Ren politely said that she wanted to meet Mrs. Lin first, but she was told by the Lin family's mother-in-law that Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin had already gone to Mrs. Lin's courtyard, and the sixth Mrs. Lin family was referring to Ren Shijia, and her aunt Lin Kun walked according to the row of the Lin family's room.

Ren Shijia and Lin Kun's yard is very spacious in the Lin family, and it is also very close to Mrs. Lin's yard, because Lin Kun grew up with Mrs. Lin when she was young.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ren's aunt, Mrs. Lin, was sitting on the south kang by the window in Ren Shijia's house and holding Xiao Lin Cen funny, Ren Shijia sat next to her, Mrs. Lin and several other ladies of the Lin family were also sitting on the side, and the spacious bright room and the next room were very lively.

As soon as the old lady entered the house. Mrs. Lin took the fifth wife, Lin, who came back to her parents' house first, and got up first to greet her: "Yo, my in-laws are here, hurry up and take a seat, take a seat." ”

Mrs. Lin's enthusiastic and non-disgusting voice sounded in the room, and for a while, the younger ones in the room stood up than Mrs. Lin, and followed Mrs. Lin to greet people, although Mrs. Lin had some friction with Mrs. Ren a while ago, but under the constant hints of her mother, she still stepped forward to salute the old lady first, and then obediently held Mrs. Ren's hand.

Ren Shijia, who was sitting on the kang, was also very happy to see his mother's family coming. The maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to put on her shoes. Mrs. Lin, who was sitting opposite her, still held the child and didn't let go, and said to Mrs. Ren who came in with a smile: "Why did you come here at this time?" We've been waiting for Brother Cen for a long time, aren't we, Brother Cen ? The latter sentence is the child who is only full moon in her hand, and her tone is very doting and intimate.

The Lin family is a big family. There were more than a dozen female dependents who followed Mrs. Lin to meet her, and Ren Shijia also stepped forward to support Mrs. Ren's other arm after getting off the kang, and the sounds of greeting each other around were constant, and the people in the room were very close.

With the support of Ren Shijia and the Lin family, Mrs. Ren stepped forward to salute Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin is Mrs. Ren's aunt, and she deserves to be treated by Mrs. Ren. However, she still handed over the child in her hand to the nurse and helped the old lady Ren. smiled: "Okay, you're old, what are you tossing!" ”

Ren Yaoqi also followed a few sisters to greet them, Mrs. Lin's eyes swept over their faces one by one, and she pulled Mrs. Ren to sit on the kang and asked with a smile: "Look at this one by one, they look like shallots, which one is the five girls in your family?" ”

Mrs. Lin is more than ten years older than Mrs. Ren, but she is very well maintained, although the forehead decorated with emeralds and gemstones shows some silver threads, it still does not make her look old, because the eyebrow bones are higher, the eyebrows are slightly thinner, and she looks a little majestic, but now the smiling appearance makes her look very amiable.

Ren Yaoqi raised her head when she heard that she was being named, and Old Lady Lin's eyes immediately stopped on her face: "Are you a fifth girl?" ”

Ren Yao was blessed and said in a low voice: "Yes, Grandma Gu." ”

There were a lot of people in the room, and suddenly many eyes looked at Ren Yaoqi.

Old Mrs. Lin didn't say anything more, just praised Ren Yaoqi a few words, and then asked Ren Yaoyin and Ren Yaohua.

However, a lively girl from the Lin family pulled Ren Yaoyu's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Cousin, this is the fifth sister of your family who has a good personal relationship with the county lord and swam the inner city river together on a painting boat?" ”

Although her voice was not loud, it was not a whisper, many people present heard it, and several other ladies of the Lin family also looked at Ren Yaoqi curiously.

Xiao Jinglin didn't have any friends in Yunyang City, and she didn't even have close contacts with several young ladies of her grandmother's maiden family, the Yun family, as for other young ladies of the family who wanted to be close to the county lord, Xiao Jinglin had always been unreasonable, because she really couldn't talk about going together.

But as the only daughter of the king and princess of Yanbei, Xiao Jinglin is still very concerned in Yanbei, so Xiao Jinglin and the fifth miss of the Ren family have heard of the fact that the ladies and ladies in Yunyang City have heard of it. Not to mention the fact that the county lord of Duanyang Festival invited Ren Yaoqi to visit the Neicheng River, the county lord and Wu Yiyu had a big fight, and the Neicheng River in Yunyang City basically did not sail a private boat, from this point of view, among the ladies of the family in Yanbei, Ren Yaoqi can also be regarded as the first one.

Ren Yaoyu has returned to her grandmother's house in the past few days, her spirit has improved a lot, and she has regained some of her former liveliness, but she is still a little afraid of Mrs. Ren now, and she only pouted slightly when she heard the words, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Mrs. Ren.

However, the fifth wife, Lin, smiled and said to her nieces: "The friendship between the five girls of our family and the county lord is really good, and the county lord went to Baihe Town to find the five girls a while ago." Wait for the next time the county master goes rowing, and let the five girls also call you to go with you. ”

The fifth wife suffered a big loss a while ago, but recently she is living a happy life because of the reunion with the fifth master. She is plain and good at saving face, and she likes to be majestic in front of her mother's sisters-in-law and sisters, and she said this originally to make herself shine in front of her mother's family, and she thought that this was also to earn face for her mother-in-law's family, so as not to make her mother-in-law unhappy.

I didn't want her to make such a promise casually to make the little girl who had just asked me remember, so she stepped forward and grabbed Ren Yaoqi's arm and shook it and asked, "Fifth cousin, is it really?" I haven't been on a painting boat yet. ”

Ren Yaochi was very unhappy with Mrs. Five's self-talk, but she was not good at attacking, and was about to say a few words to reveal the topic, but it was Mrs. Lin's mother who took the initiative to stand up and relieve Ren Yaoqi.

She patted the little girl's head lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Your aunt is joking with you, and the painting boat is not your fifth cousin's, where do you say that you can invite guests?" And the inner city river does not allow boats, I heard that the last time the county lord went back, he was lectured by the princess. ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her nose at Mrs. Five: "Auntie just likes to tease us." The innocent and lively appearance made everyone laugh.

Mrs. Lin smiled at Ren Yaoqi, and there was some reassurance in her loving smile.

I have to say that compared to Mrs. Lin's shrewdness and ability to behave, the daughter she gave birth to is really ...... Ren Yaoqi could only shake his head mentally.

This matter has been revealed, and Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Lin really sat on the kang and talked intimately, and they didn't seem to have an idea of the episode here.

One after another, many female dependents of people close to the Lin family came, and from this time, it could be seen that the courtyard given by the Lin family to Ren Shijia was extremely spacious, and so many people would not make people feel crowded.

Several young ladies of the Lin family are very enthusiastic about Ren Yaoqi, and the girl who said before that she had never sat on the painting boat was especially curious about the relationship between Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, but the little girl's frank and curious and fast-talking appearance made people embarrassed and really hated her. This little girl is Lin Baoling, the young lady of the third room of the Lin family.

Lin Baoling's generation of the Lin family only has four girls, two of whom are still concubines, compared to a dozen men, they can be regarded as real yang and yin, and things are scarce and expensive, so the young lady of the Lin family is more favored than the young master.

Ren Yaoqi was socializing with the sisters of the Ren family with the three young ladies of the Lin family, and the mother-in-law came in to report that "the old lady from the Aquarius Hutong" had come.

This report made the room quiet, and the original laughter and greetings seemed to have been suddenly cut off, which was very weird.

Ren Yaoqi was also slightly stunned, she knew that the title of "the old lady in the treasure bottle alley" actually referred to her grandmother's abolition of Concubine Wang Zheng. Because of her embarrassing identity, the ladies in Yunyang City called her "the old lady in the Aquarius Hutong". (To be continued.) )
