On weekdays, the breakfast in the Jin Mansion is used in their respective balls, but today is different, Mrs. Jin sent someone to report early in the morning, and today they all went to Mrs. Jin's hibiscus garden to eat.

This morning banquet was held in the garden of the Hibiscus Garden, and it was May, and the flowers in the garden were blooming in clusters, taking up the spring color.

A brocade tablecloth is laid on a stone table in the middle of the garden, and a circle of stone benches around it is also covered with cushions.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jin sat next to each other, smiling faces.

When the jade qilin walked in, he secretly glanced at Mrs. Jiang, but saw that she couldn't see anything abnormal, and she was uneasy.

"Let's go!" The gold ingot nudged her slightly.

The jade unicorn had no choice but to follow along, and Mrs. Jiang left a vacant seat at the head, which was obviously reserved for the jade unicorn. Seeing this, Jin Yuan Bao sat down directly next to Mrs. Jin and vacated the position.

The jade qilin had no choice but to sit down.

Mrs. Jiang looked left and right and said with a smile: "What about the girl who danced yesterday?" Why don't you call? ”

Hearing this, Aunt Gu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Hui, that's a friend of the dog, and her identity is incomparable, so it's not easy to serve at the table." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang frowned, a trace of anger crossed her eyes, and then smiled slightly: "It's okay, I see that girl dances very well, and she has a lot of eye contact with me, why don't you call it together...... After a pause, she continued: "Call Gongzi Ling too." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Gu glanced at Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin nodded, and she retreated happily.

A moment later, Gu Changfeng and Jiang Xiaoxuan arrived together. Due to identity problems, the two did not serve the table, and only dined with Liu Wenzhao and Liu Qianqian at the small table on the side.

Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan were both pale. The two frequently looked at each other.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at it silently and smiled: "Although Xiaoxuan is not my biological child, I have always regarded this daughter as my own, she has been good at everything since she was a child, but she likes to pretend to be a ghost and scare adults." Once the prefect's wife came to my house, I couldn't see it. So she put on her wide robe, ran to me, and said, 'Mother, who do you think I am?' ’。 Xiaoxuan, do you remember how your mother answered you at that time? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Jin looked at the jade unicorn with great interest and waited for an answer.

A smile flashed across the corner of the gold ingot's mouth, but he didn't expect it. into the eyes. But it was the nervous appearance of the jade unicorn...... He couldn't help but frown slowly.

And Liu Wenzhao, who was sitting on the side, had a smile on his face, as if he was listening to Mrs. Jiang's jokes, but in fact, he secretly took in the eye interaction between Jiang Xiaoxuan and Yu Qilin.

On the side, Gu Changfeng lost his soul and lowered his head to eat vegetables, occasionally raised his head and secretly glanced at Jiang Xiaoxuan, and immediately blushed and continued to bow his head to eat, grinning at the plate from time to time.

Liu Qianqian saw that her cousin was just staring at the jade unicorn, and she was unaware of her bold gaze. was bitter in his heart, and viciously clamped the food in front of him into small pieces with chopsticks.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the jade unicorn lovingly. The wind swept over Jiang Xiaoxuan again, and the two of them turned pale. The jade unicorn opened its mouth, speechless, and sweating.

Mrs. Jiang patted her hand affectionately, shook it, smiled, and said, "The child doesn't like to listen when he's older, but don't blame my mother for exposing your shortcomings in front of your husband's family!" However, his eyes were looking at Jiang Xiaoxuan.

When people heard this, their faces turned pale in an instant, waiting for fate to be pronounced.

Mrs. Jiang didn't see it, and said with a smile: "As a mother, I always can't forget what my children looked like when they were young...... I said, 'Dead girl! You think you're wearing the court clothes of the three grades, and I don't recognize who you are! What kind of virtue you wear is my Jiang family's Xuan girl! If you dare to learn to be naughty with outsiders, I will peel off your skin carefully! Mrs. Jiang smiled on her face, but her voice was quite sharp at the end.

The crowd was stunned, and there was silence in the room for a while.

Mrs. Jiang didn't realize it, but just looked at the jade unicorn with a smile, firmly grasped her hand, and pinched her delicately groomed long nails into the jade unicorn's flesh.

The jade unicorn was in pain, and couldn't help but pull back her hand, Mrs. Jiang grabbed it quickly, held her hand in her hand again, and looked at the jade unicorn with a smile, her eyes were cold: "Xiaoxuan, tell me, did my mother say that at the time?" ”

The jade qilin was pale, but he opened his mouth but was speechless.

Everyone saw this strange scene of mother and daughter, embarrassed and silent. Jiang Xiaoxuan's face was colorless, and she leaned on the support of a chair to keep her from falling.

Mrs. Jiang asked again with a cold look in her eyes: "Xiaoxuan, did my mother tell you that at that time!" ”

Looking at Mrs. Jiang's attitude towards the jade unicorn, the heart of the gold ingot's short-term protection paused, and she immediately frowned, put down the wine glass and stood up.

Mrs. Jin also knew that Mrs. Jiang was Jiang Xiaoxuan's stepmother, after all, this was a family matter, and the Jin family was not easy to interfere with, so she shouted solemnly: "Yuanbao, sit down!" ”

Jin Yuan Bao sat down helplessly, and when Mrs. Jiang saw his attitude, she slowly put away the coldness in her eyes, and replaced them with kind eyes, then laughed, and let go of the jade unicorn's hand as if nothing happened......

The jade qilin couldn't help but look down, and there was already faint blood oozing from one of his hands.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at her with a warning look, turned her head and talked to Mrs. Jin with a spring breeze on her face: "Xiaoxuan has been too thoughtful since she was a child, a girl's family, if she has too much idea, it is inevitable that she doesn't know how high the sky is...... If she doesn't worry about her own accident, she is afraid that one of them will misbehave and bring trouble to our two governments. The position of the young lady of the Jin Mansion is not so easy to sit in. Alas...... Fate sometimes has to happen, and there is no time to force it, I'm just afraid that the daughter of our Jiang family will not be blessed! ”

When the jade qilin heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, his heart was crossed, and he stood up and was about to confess: "I'm not-"

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang frowned, reached out and pressed the jade qilin's hand with a smile, pulled her to sit down, and said angrily: "Such a big person, is his face still so thin?" Say a few words to your mother, and everyone here is your own family, so you can't hold your breath? ”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang would instantly put on a motherly face, and the jade unicorn couldn't help herself, so she had to sit down, only to feel that Mrs. Jiang played with her emotions and felt deeply humiliated.

At this time, the voice of the gold ingots sounded: "Mother-in-law, the ingots toast you with a glass of wine." May you be in good health and have the best of luck. ”

The gold ingots stood upright, politely holding up the wine glass. Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly smiled and drank a glass.

After drinking, Jin Yuan Bao didn't sit down, just looked at Mrs. Jiang and smiled, and then said slowly: "Mother-in-law's desire for Xiaoxuan to become a talent is exactly the same as my mother's discipline for me. It's just that since Xiaoxuan has married into the Jin Mansion, her mother-in-law doesn't have to worry too much. After all. Whether my lady is a qualified young lady of the Golden Mansion or not, it is up to me to judge the most suitable, do you say yes? ”

The smile on his lips deepened slightly. He also said: "My mother-in-law loves Chong Xiaoxuan so much, and her son-in-law is moved by the love of licking the calf, but although the Jiang Mansion is strictly governed, the family rules of my Jin Mansion are not bad." Mother-in-law doesn't have to worry at all. ”

Mrs. Jiang glanced deeply at the gold ingot. Half a sound, pursed his lips and smiled, and slowly spoke: "What the virtuous son-in-law said is that I am too worried." Then he turned his head and looked at the jade qilin affectionately: "Husband values you, and you can be regarded as someone to support you, so I can rest assured!" ”

The gold ingots smiled, as if acquiescing to Mrs. Jiang's words, and sat down quietly.

Mrs. Jin hurriedly smiled and persuaded her: "It's a good thing for you and me to be a little couple." As parents, don't we just hope that the juniors can support each other? I also want to thank my mother-in-law. Raising such a good daughter, since Xiaoxuan entered the house, I don't know how much worry I have saved, it is really satisfying beyond my words! Speaking of this, she quietly changed the topic and sighed softly: "It's just that we are satisfied, and some people are dissatisfied...... Yesterday, His Royal Highness suddenly came to the door, and there is something to think about about this matter. You also know that our Jin family has always been a family of princes, and His Royal Highness's desire to compete for the throne has already appeared, and he has no contact with my Jin Mansion, how can he come to celebrate his birthday? I don't know what undercurrents are surging behind this...... Fortunately, Xiaoxuan and Yuanbao cooperated well, and a birthday banquet was decent, and there was no handle for him. ”

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were deep, and she carefully pondered Mrs. Jin's words, and nodded in agreement, "This move of His Royal Highness Second Highness seems to be a favor, but in fact it is like a demonstration. ”

"Not bad. The Jin Mansion has always been a thorn in the eye of the Second Highness, and I am afraid that since the marriage of our Jinjiang and the Two Mansions, the Second Highness has been sleepless at night, and I can't wait for this marriage to go wrong. Mrs. Jin's face was solemn, "Therefore, Madame, you have just reprimanded Xiaoxuan, and you are right, this marriage really can't tolerate a little mistake!" ”

Mrs. Jiang nodded awe-inspiringly: "Yes, the marriage of Jinjiang is the old man Yucheng of the Queen Mother, if there is any mistake, we can't explain it to the prince and ourselves." ”

Mrs. Jiang looked at the jade unicorn and looked at it carefully, but she didn't say a word. The heart that the jade unicorn had just put down brought up again.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes slowly swept over Jiang Xiaoxuan, and then turned on Jin Yuanbao's face, pondered, spoke, and spoke in a soft and stern tone: "Originally, I was worried, I was afraid that you would lack discipline since you were a child, be rude, and not please your mother-in-law and husband, but now I see that you are quite knowledgeable, I am relieved a lot......" Immediately, he looked at Jiang Xiaoxuan and said: "Your little sister since childhood can be in the same place with you, it is also fate, you must take care of her ......", as if joking, there was something to say: "You two are two grasshoppers on a rope when you are young, If something happens, you can't run away and you can't run her. ”

After that, Mrs. Jin looked at the jade qilin and said solemnly: "Xiaoxuan, after I go back, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, serve your mother-in-law and husband well, and don't lose the face of my Jiang Mansion." Otherwise, don't think that I can't control you in Jiankang! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang's tone was stern, Jin Yuanbao was dissatisfied again, and frowned and was about to speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jin hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay!" Mrs. in-laws, the training girl is the training girl, look at you, Xiaoxuan's frightened face turned white! You don't have to worry about it, I think she's fine! Are you still afraid that something will happen to Xiaoxuan in our Golden Mansion? ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang regained her face: "It's a joke to call the in-laws' wife, I'm worried that my daughter will not know how to restrain herself when she gets used to being pampered at home, and it's not for her...... Come on, come on, I toast the host's family with a glass of wine! ”

Everyone raised their glasses, and the atmosphere was re-enlivened.

The jade unicorn knew that this level had passed, and he relaxed, only to feel that he was sweating all over, and his underwear seemed to be soaked. She and Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at each other and put their minds at ease.

The gold ingots raised their glasses and drank without saying a word, put down the cup and glared at the jade unicorn. The jade unicorn seemed to have just experienced life and death at this time, and was in no mood to pay attention to the gold ingots, so he didn't realize it. (To be continued......)
