401 Mrs. Xun's invitation
In the bright and spacious embroidery room, Lin Meiyi listened to Qi Tian tell what happened in the mine while weaving, and always kept a light smile on her face.
"Qinglan saw you, he didn't tell me, right?"
Qi Tian turned over the roasted sweet potatoes on the stove and shook his head, "He didn't dare." ”
"Did you borrow the money that Zhen Huaimin and Wang Taishou borrowed?" Lin Meiyi asked curiously.
Qi Tian flipped another sweet potato, as if he only had sweet potatoes in his eyes, "I borrowed it." ”
As she spoke, a fragrance wafted over, Lin Meiyi glanced at the stove, and she was also greedy, stopped what she was doing, got up and walked out of the inner room.
As if he was afraid that she would come and grab it, Qi Tian hurriedly picked up the two baked sweet potatoes in front of him, put them on his knees, and pointed to the remaining one that was about to be ripe, indicating that it was hers.
Lin Meiyi was silent, took a deep breath, and then suppressed this depression, hooked a bench with her legs and sat down opposite Qi Tian, while roasting her own sweet potatoes, while watching him eat sweet potatoes.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Meiyi asked.
The man immersed in the soft and sweet taste of sweet potatoes didn't raise his head and hummed.
Yes, the uncle is going to become a foodie too.
Lin Meiyi shook her head helplessly, turned her head and looked into the courtyard boringly, Wang Sheng was wearing civilian clothes, his hair was still unruly and scattered, and he was leading Erya and Dogan to mix cement slurry in the corner of the yard.
Xiao Hei, Ah Da, and Lin Youcai are playing the ground, and their movements are a little rusty, but thinking about it, it is the first time that everyone has used cement to pave the ground, so they have done a good job.
Wang Niangzi, Liu, and Xiangping squatted under the eaves and watched the men busy, and gave language guidance while watching, full of participation.
Grandma Zhang sat in front of the hall door, holding a handful of peanuts brought back by Lin Meiyi from Fucheng, chewing while enjoying the excitement of the family.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Youcai, who was busy, looked up and saw a person dressed as a family member standing outside the door, and there was a horse behind him, looking like he had just come from out of town.
"May I ask if this is the mansion of the brave general Lin Shijun?" The family member stood outside the door and asked, his eyes skimming to the busy people in the courtyard, and he couldn't help but show a curious look.
However, he understood the rules and didn't ask anything, just looked at the people in the courtyard, waiting for them to answer.
Lin Youcai nodded, walked forward with a body full of mud, and asked politely: "Lin Shijun is my son, he is not at home now, little brother, what is the matter with you?" You can tell me first, and I'll tell him later. ”
When the family heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Lin, I am the family of the palace, and five days later it will be the ninetieth birthday of our old lady, and my housewife specially ordered me to invite the lady and young lady of your mansion to the banquet." ”
As he spoke, he took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to Lin Youcai, "This is the invitation, Master Lin, you take it, and the little one will leave first." ”
After speaking, he bowed, turned around and got on his horse and left.
"Looking in that direction, it seems to be going to the barracks." Lin Meiyi didn't know when she appeared behind her, and suddenly made a sound, startling Lin Youcai.
But the people came just in time.
"Oh, I gave you and your mother an invitation, saying that the old lady of the Wang family is celebrating her ninetieth birthday, and I invite you to the banquet." Lin Youcai handed the invitation to Lin Meiyi, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Who is the old lady Wang? Ninety birthdays, this is really an old birthday star. ”
Liu and Wang Niangzi also came over now, and when they heard Lin Youcai's inquiry, Wang Niangzi recalled the clothes of the family just now, and said with emotion:
"It's Mrs. Lu, the grandmother of our county guard, this old lady grew up in front of Her Majesty, and I heard that she was also a female official of Your Majesty."
"Huh? Isn't this the grandmother of Mrs. Wang's family? Liu looked at Lin Meiyi in surprise and asked excitedly: "Yiyi, is it Qingqing's maternal great-grandmother?" Is it? ”
Lin Youcai urged, "Hurry up and open the invitation to see if it's true." ”
Lin Mei bowed her head and calmly opened the invitation, sure enough, it was the old lady from the Lu family, Qingqing's maternal great-grandmother.
However, what was written on the invitation was Wang Xun, the wife of the county guard.
"Huh?" Lin Youcai felt that something was wrong, took the invitation over, pointed to the payment and said suspiciously: "This is written Wang Xun's family, is Mrs. Taishou also surnamed Xun?" ”
"Mrs. Xun?" Liu Shi looked up at his daughter in surprise, "Mrs. Xun is Mrs. Taishou?" ”
Lin Mei bowed her head, "It should be." ”
Before she met Wang Ruomaru's sister and brother, she actually knew the identity of Wang Ruomaru's mother and daughter, so she was not surprised when she saw the payment on the invitation.
If there is, it is a little surprising that Mrs. Xun would invite her family to the banquet.
According to the identity of the Wang family, under normal circumstances, the family members of the young generals who come up from a small family will not be invited.
Not long ago, the people of Baixiao Pavilion told her that Taishou had taken a fancy to Zhen Huaimin and was ready to marry his daughter to him, but was later rejected by Zhen Huaimin.
If the Wang family really gave up on Zhen Huaimin, then Mrs. Xun's move today would be a bit interesting.
There is no mother who does not love her children, Wang Ruowan's intentions for the eldest brother are now afraid that only the eldest brother himself does not know, but as a mother, how could Mrs. Xun not know her daughter's careful thoughts?
Since Zhen Huaimin has no play, then the young talents under him can also be considered.
Wang Ruomaru is not the eldest daughter after all, and from Yang Qingqing's description, it can be known that as long as the Wang family has an old lady, the juniors still have a certain right to choose their own marriage.
The Wang family has already married an eldest daughter, and the power is enough, and no matter how much it is, it is just icing on the cake.
If she is Mrs. Xun, in the current situation that there is no better candidate, a young general like her eldest brother is also worth investing in.
Thinking of this, Lin Meiyi raised her eyebrows, it seems that she has to prepare well for this banquet.
She wants to let the Wang family and his wife know that choosing their Lin family will not be worse than Zhen Huaimin!
However, the premise of all this depends on the eldest brother's own wishes.
So, when Lin Dalang returned home that night, he was called to the embroidery room by Lin Meiyi.
Lin Dalang came excitedly, thinking that the eldest sister was going to discuss with him about going to the Wang family for a banquet.
The general also received an invitation from Taishou today, and the general spoke, and by the way, he brought them, the young generals in the army, to meet the world, and everyone was happy.
Lin Dalang entered the embroidery room with a smile, saw Lin Meiyi sitting in front of the stove, and sat down opposite her with a smile, "Big sister, you are looking for me, what's the matter?" ”
Lin Dalang thought that his sister would talk about the birthday ceremony, but he didn't expect that the other party asked ......
"Big brother, what do you think of Miss Wakamaru?"
Lin Meiyi raised her head and asked with a smile.
For a moment, Lin Dalang felt that the girl's face in front of him and his mother's face completely coincided, the same gossip!
