Once again, when she had the opportunity to enter the Chu family's mansion, Lin Qiantan felt a lot of emotion. The houses and corridors that are not too familiar but not very unfamiliar become more and more open as you go inside. The layers of scenery spread out in front of Lin Qiantan. Rockeries and stones, pavilions and pavilions, there is not only the beauty of natural carving, but also the artificial modification of the meteorological water and stone leisure.

Entering from the front steps of the door, first going around the shadow wall, entering the hanging flower gate, and then passing through countless moon gates and corner gates, the majesty of the Chu family's famous door is also quietly demonstrated in the subtle depth of the house.

Compared with the exquisiteness of the mansion, the people of the Chu family are not prosperous, and there are only a few masters in the family. In Chu Jiang's generation, there is only Chu Jiang who can inherit the family business.

It's no wonder that Jiang Ningniang tried to entrap private goods, and was so concerned about her son's marriage candidate, she didn't hesitate to have an estranged relationship with her husband, and she also sent her niece to her son's bed. As long as this marriage is promoted, the huge family business of the Chu family will be controlled by her surname Jiang.

Lin Qiantan followed Chu Jiang in, and before she reached the main house where Chu Jian and his wife lived, Jiang Ningniang had already come to the door to greet her in person, supported by a little girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Thinking that it was Chu Shen, who had just taken a quick step to inform him, he told Jiang Ningniang about the situation in front of the mansion gate, and Jiang Ningniang came out to make up for her face.

Lin Qiantan glanced at Jinhe, the hero who had a long face for her in this round of fighting, and thought to herself Why didn't she find out in her previous life that this girl's poisonous tongue was so easy to use.

Jin He was ignorant and unconscious, and he didn't know that he was secretly praised by his master in his heart.

She was looking at the middle-aged woman who was slowly welcoming in front of her.

Jiang Ningniang is thirty and seven, and she is not embarrassed to be in the gray area between the prime of life and old age, and in the past two years, the imperial doctor also said that she seems to have arrived in menopause early, and her temper is inevitably uncontrollable.

If it weren't for this, Chu Yan and Chu Jiang's father and son would not turn a blind eye to her sometimes ridiculous and rude behavior.

At this time, Jinhe saw that she was already standing in front of her, smiling at Lin Qiantan, although she was smiling on her face, but in fact, the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. But even so, she is well-maintained, and she is born with a goose egg face and willow eyebrows, which can really be regarded as ruthless and moving.

As for the little girl next to her who was intimate with her, needless to say, it was also Jiang Zhiyue, a cousin from the Jiang family.

Seeing that Jiang Ningniang hadn't spoken yet, Jiang Zhiyue opened her mouth first, facing in the direction of Lin Qiantan, but what she said was to her aunt and second cousin: "My aunt was still talking about why the sister of the Lin family didn't come just now, no, this is here."

said to Lin Qiantan again: "My aunt was still talking about you just now."

Lin Qiantan only didn't notice that when she spoke, her eyes drifted towards Chu Jiang from time to time with affection, the other party was polite and polite, and she was not good at splashing skin, so she followed the other party's words and said something perfunctory at will.

In fact, Jiang Zhiyue grabbed the door in front of the elders, which was an inappropriate and rude thing in itself, but Jiang Ningniang, an elder, was willing to connive, and no one would be so ignorant, so she had to say it.

But with Lin Qiantan, there is no such treatment.

Lin Qiantan replied to Jiang Zhiyue's words, and she didn't care about greeting Jiang Ningniang for a while, Jiang Ningniang's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she didn't like it in her heart, thinking that the Lin family had no tutor, and the girl who taught her didn't even know how to say hello first when she saw the elders she hadn't seen for a long time.

But she didn't remember what kind of elders she looked like when she instigated the slave to sweep Lin Qiantan's face.

She still doesn't like Lin Qiantan, as long as she sees Lin Qiantan's face that looks more and more like her sister-in-law, she will inevitably think of the losses she suffered from her sister-in-law when she was young.

But no matter how much she pretended to be stupid and connived at the slave to put on Lin Qiantan's small shoes, she wouldn't even do superficial work after meeting. It was not a problem for a group of people to stand at the door and talk, so she made the decision and invited Lin Qiantan to enter.

Chu gradually did not come back for the time being, and Jiang Ningniang and Lin Qiantan had nothing to say, but after a quarter of an hour's work, Jiang Ningniang looked impatient, and wanted to serve tea to the guests, but she was afraid of the face of her relatives, so she had to gossip with Lin Qiantan there.

Lin Qiantan could see her aunt's impatience, but out of some mischievous mentality, she deliberately stayed in Jiang Ningniang's house for half an hour before following the slave maid of the Chu family, accompanied by Chu Ling, the second lady of the Chu family, to the courtyard where she temporarily lived and lived in Yanran.

Chu Jiang also wanted to go with her to see her off, but it was Jiang Ningniang who opened her mouth to keep someone: "Brother Jiang'er, you just keep it, I have something to tell you."

Chu Jiang had no choice but to mean it, and watched Lin Qiantan walk out a few steps slightly, and then turned back to his mother.

said that there was something to say, but the mother and son actually tacitly knew it, it was just an excuse that Jiang Ningniang deliberately made to create opportunities for Jiang Zhiyue.

Chu Jiang did not have the slightest affection for this cousin of the Jiang family beyond the friendship of cousins and sisters, but he had that meaning for Lin Qiantan, but the other party regarded himself more as an elder brother.

Lin Qiantan has gone out all the way, and he is still looking outside from time to time, which directly makes Jiang Zhiyue very unhappy, but she likes to maintain her gentle and lovely image in front of Chu Jiang, and she is never willing to show negative emotions such as jealousy and anger.

Jiang Ningniang left Chu Jiang, but it was just to create an opportunity for her niece, so of course she wouldn't say more, and after a while, she handed over the home field to the young man: "Brother Jiang'er, you said you were going to pick up your sister Lin, and I will let you go." But Sister Yue has been waiting for you here for a long time, and you have to accompany her this afternoon. ”

Jiang Zhiyue heard her aunt's words, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up.

Chu Jiang followed his mother's words, glanced at Jiang Zhiyue, and happened to see Jiang Zhiyue's smile. And Jiang Zhiyue also happened to look at it, and Chu Jiang looked at each other.

Over there, Chu Jiang smiled bitterly and dealt with her mother, and here Lin Qiantan had already walked through the corridor and the cave wall with Chu Ling with laughter, and walked to the place where Yan Ran lived. When Lin Qiantan was a guest at the Chu family in the past, she always lived in another courtyard, and she was puzzled.

Chu Ling knew her thoughts. Without her asking, she couldn't help but compare her mouth in the direction of the main house: "Oh, didn't Zhi Yuefei say that the courtyard was good, and she lived in it before you came?" You also know that my mother loves her the most, and it is impossible not to agree. ”

Lin Qiantan couldn't laugh, she was not as angry as Chu Ling imagined, Chu Ling saw that she was not angry, she was relieved, and finally couldn't help but say again: "The scenery over there is the best in the whole mansion......
