Chapter 206: The Kim Family
Lin Jiu shook his head at her with a smile, signaling that he was okay, and then raised the things in his hand, Huang Ke let go of his hand and let Lin Jiu come forward to celebrate his birthday.
The people who can lead the family into the door are all distinguished guests, and these ladies who are clustered in front of Mrs. Huang still don't have this treatment, so their eyes all fall on Lin Jiu's body with scrutiny.
I thought it was what kind of character it was, but after looking her up and down, she was just a country woman, but there was a trace of disdain in every gaze for a while.
Lin Jiu didn't care much about their changes, and walked up to Mrs. Huang without squinting with jade skin cream: "Today, Lin Jiu came to celebrate Mrs. Huang's birthday, knowing that the Huang family is rich and on the first side, if those yellow and white things are given to Mrs. Huang's birthday, it will be a break, so Lin Jiu thought for a long time before he thought that it was appropriate to give the time to the old lady." ”
After speaking, she handed the jade skin cream in her hand to the maid behind Mrs. Huang, and the women next to her listened to it, and immediately laughed at her with shame.
"Where did the ignorant girl come from, she still thinks she is a fairy, look at what kind of stupid thing this is."
Before Lin Jiu could answer, Wei Wenshu, who had been sitting next to Old Madam Huang, also spoke: "If Miss Lin is shy in her pocket, for the sake of Brother Chu's face, you just need to inform Wen Shu, and Wen Shu will help you prepare a decent birthday gift, why be so grandiose?" ”
With the words of the prefect's daughter, the ladies next to them chewed their tongues even more fearlessly, and the noise here became louder and louder, and even the Huang family's daughter-in-law Jiang, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard to entertain guests, that is, Huang Ke's mother, also came over.
She frowned, and listened to the little maid who had been waiting here explain the matter clearly, so she was also dissatisfied with Lin Jiu, and immediately stepped forward and said to Lin Jiu: "Miss Lin has finished her birthday, and she is tired of standing for so long, the Huang family has prepared a resting place for the distinguished guests, the girl may wish to go and rest for a while, and then invite the girl to come over after the banquet." ”
Lin Jiu glanced back at her lightly, and that gaze seemed to be mixed with a sword, which made Jiang's heart sink, but today is the home of her Huang family, so naturally she can't be afraid of a country girl.
So Jiang gritted his teeth, settled down, and regained his calm and self-control, Lin Jiu naturally knew what Jiang meant, but he was afraid that he would hurt the face of the Huang family, but she hadn't finished giving this birthday gift yet, how could she leave now.
So Lin Jiu smiled faintly, turned around and looked at Mrs. Huang again: "After this experience, Lin Jiu is indeed a little tired, but before going to rest, I also asked Mrs. Huang to watch the birthday gift first." ”
Old Madam Huang hadn't spoken before, but after hearing this, the hand that had been resting on the soft pillow raised her fingers slightly, and the grandmother behind her stepped forward and came to the maid who had just taken over Lin Jiuyu's muscle cream.
Mama opened the package, revealing the delicate little jade jar inside, although this jade seed is full of water and crystal clear, but it is not a rare thing.
So Old Madam Huang turned her gaze to Lin Jiu again, and Lin Jiu stepped forward to pick up the small jade jar held by the maid and put it in the palm of her hand.
"This is the jade skin cream specially made by Lin Jiu for the old lady in the first two days, and it can make people's skin fade and age and return to a youthful state when applied all year round, which is what Lin Jiu said before, give time to the old lady."
As she said this, she had already opened the lid of the jade skin cream, and a faint fragrance of roses emanated, and all the ladies present smelled it.
The fragrance of the flowers is light but refreshing, and it will not disperse for a long time, and then listening to Lin Jiu's words, they are obviously moved, but they are all in the way of their previous face, and they don't believe that this thing can really have such a magical effect.
So all the ladies held back the desire in their hearts and once again spoke out sarcastically, especially Wei Wenshu.
"Miss Lin, forget it, there is Wen Shu here today to call the shots for Miss Lin, and no one will dare to bully you, so don't make up such words anymore." Saying that, Wei Wenshu looked at the girl holding the jade skin cream again, "You go down first." ”
The girl took the order and left, and the Huang family's daughter-in-law, Jiang, took this opportunity to take Lin Jiu away from here, but before she could make a move, a lady standing behind the right side of Mrs. Huang suddenly exclaimed: "Are you that Lin Jiu from Blackwater Town?" ”
The sharpness of her voice made everyone have to pay attention, and it was quiet for a while, and Lin Jiu bowed like that lady.
"Exactly, I wonder where Madame knew me?" Lin Jiu looked at the lady for a while without a trace, and asked without any impression.
The lady was overjoyed, and walked out of the crowd in a few steps: "My daughter-in-law is from Heishui Town, and she once bought jade skin cream twice in the Zeng family's fat powder shop, and it was very good to use, but then she couldn't buy it. ”
"Just smell the smell to know that there is no such jar of purity as Mrs. Huang today, I heard that Miss Lin and the Zeng family in Heishui Town fell out, our Jin family has a fat powder shop, if Miss Lin doesn't dislike it, can you cooperate with our Jin family?"
This Mrs. Jin is a smart person, and as soon as the conversation turned, she praised Lin Jiu in front of Old Madam Huang again, and seeing this, Lin Jiu was not easy to refuse, so she smiled and talked to her.
This astonishing reversal shocked Wei Wenshu a little panicked, her eyes swept around the courtyard, and finally settled on the Huang family's daughter-in-law Jiang.
was stared at by Wei Wenshu, and the soldier also recovered from the shock, and immediately stepped forward to stop the two who were chatting happily: "Mrs. Jin, Miss Lin, today is the birthday of my ancestor, please take a break from this kind of business." ”
But as soon as she said this, Mrs. Huang scolded angrily: "We are all businessmen, don't you let people talk about business, don't you cut off people's wealth, what have you learned in the Huang family for so many years." ”
"It's okay, today is Lin Jiu's abruptness, and Mrs. Jin's business, Lin Jiu will find another time to discuss with Mrs. Jin, if you offend Mrs. Huang, Lin Jiu will compensate Mrs. Huang here."
Jiang's face, who was reprimanded by Mrs. Huang, was a little unbearable, although Lin Jiu opened her mouth to relieve her, she didn't admit it in her heart.
In fact, Mrs. Jin had already had some opinions about the Jiang family, but since Lin Jiu had already said so, she couldn't be harsh anymore, so she had to turn the matter over smoothly.
In front of everyone, Mrs. Huang instructed the girl to put the jade skin cream sent by Lin Jiu on her dresser, giving Lin Jiu a lot of face.
After that, she moved a chair to her own left side of the house: "Miss Lin, today is the Huang family's neglect, if you are not angry, it is better to sit here and talk to the old man." ”
Seeing this scene, Wei Wenshu was already so angry that her face turned blue at this time, what a high honor it was to be able to sit next to Mrs. Huang, if it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of the prefect, even she would not be qualified.
Now Lin Jiu, a village woman, is about to sit on an equal footing with herself, but she has just shown a close relationship with Lin Jiu, and it is not easy to have a seizure at this time, so she can only grit her teeth and sit in place without saying a word.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Jiu refused: "Back to the old lady, Lin Jiu is from a humble background, so he shouldn't sit in that position, so please ask Mrs. Huang to find another place for me to rest." ”
Jiang, who was named again, thought that Lin Jiu was sarcastic about her, and when she looked at Lin Jiu again, her eyes were already full of resentment.
But Lin Jiu is so innocent, she is telling the truth, being watched by so many young ladies, she is also very tired, he will be embarrassed.
"Go and rest in my room, and I will invite you myself to the feast in a while." Seeing that his mother didn't speak for a long time, afraid that Lin Jiu would make a fool of himself, Huang Ke immediately stepped forward to hold Lin Jiu's arm.
Saluted to Mrs. Huang, Lin Jiu didn't refuse, and left with Huang Ke, on the way Huang Ke apologized to Lin Jiu: "Sister Lin, I really don't know this is the case today, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you here." ”
"You don't have to blame yourself, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Mrs. Jin today, this should be fate."
Being coaxed by her like this, Huang Ke felt a little more comfortable, left Lin Jiu in her room, and left in a hurry, she had to go to the front yard to help the Jiang family entertain guests.
Sitting in Huang Ke's boudoir, Lin Jiu looked at the dresser she had set up, sure enough, the Huang family was wealthy, and at the birthday banquet later, Wei Wenshu and the other ladies didn't make any more trouble, and Lin Jiu was also happy.
At the end of the birthday banquet, Mrs. Huang left Lin Jiu alone and apologized to her in person again.
