In the main hall, Jin Niang and the others exchanged pleasantries with the old lady, and were led to the backyard to play by the old lady's granddaughter-in-law.

The Shi family is very large, and the courtyard has five entrances, which is not much smaller than the area of Xufu. And because the Shi family prides itself on cultivating and reading heirlooms, and the children and grandchildren of the family are all scholars, the yard is very elegant, anyway, no matter from that point of view, it is a little more exquisite than the Xu family's yard.

The eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Shi family is a kind and graceful lady, with a beautiful temperament all over her body, and it is not difficult to see that she is also literate and hyphenated, rich in poetry and books.

She is about ten years older than Jin Niang, but because she has a baby face and is shy and smiling, she looks much younger than her actual age.

But even so, Jin Niang didn't dare to underestimate this eldest cousin-in-law, who could be recognized by the people of Shifu, and she was very polite when she talked to her.

The eldest cousin-in-law laughed three times, and when she talked about Mother Xu with Jinniang, her mouth was full of words of admiration. Everyone in the family said that the aunt was well-educated, and if she hadn't been born as a daughter, she would have been able to be named on the gold list. Only the aunt in the family inherited some of the old man's talents, and the rest of the children in the family were inferior to the aunt.

Jin Niang is not good at demolishing Xu's mother's platform, saying that she only knows the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and does not understand current affairs, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to the current politics and writing. If such a person participates in the scientific examination, he will not even be able to pass the children's examination.

In this way, the old lady of the Shi family can say that the elders of Mother Xu can also joke, but she, who is a daughter-in-law and a junior, can't say it.

She couldn't take this talk well, so she could only politely praise the children and grandchildren of Shifu for being good. "When I was in the boudoir, I heard of the reputation of Shifu Erlang. I heard that there are already two cousins who are talented in high school, and they are also preparing to participate in this year's autumn festival. If you can go to high school, there will be three people in my grandfather's family, which is a big thing in our Pingyang Town, but it has never been a big event, and then Shifu will become the first family in Pingyang Town. ”

Jin Niang's flattering words obviously spoke to the heart of the eldest cousin, and for a while, her smile was a little brighter, and she became more affectionate when she looked at Jin Niang.

A few people talked and laughed and went to the courtyard in the backyard to entertain female guests, and the eldest cousin-in-law handed over Jinniang to her brother-in-law because she still had to go to the old lady to entertain the new guests, and Jinniang also wanted to be called a woman of the second cousin-in-law.

This second cousin-in-law is a spicy and refreshing one, and after she answered neatly, she recruited a few little girls and asked them to play with Xu Pianpian.

Although Xu Pianpian rarely came to the rented house, she was familiar with several cousins, and she followed her without seeing anyone else.

Jin Niang was introduced into the pavilion by her second cousin, and there were several women dressed in brocade sitting in the pavilion. Listening to the introduction of the second cousin-in-law, these are all the female relatives of people who are close to Shifu, and they are all easy to contact, so let Jinniang not be restrained and talk to everyone.

The second cousin-in-law was introducing everyone to Jinniang, and saw a little lady dressed as a woman outside the pavilion walking in.

Seeing her, the second cousin's expression was unnatural for a moment. Jin Niang's face was silent, but she looked at the person in an instant.

This little lady should be about the same age as her, with pure eyebrows and eyes, weak and Qianqian, willow waist and graceful waist, and her clothes fluttering when she walks, looking weak and windy.

She was dressed in plain green clothes, dressed in pure and lovely, looking harmless and fragile, which made people feel pitiful.

Jin Niang looked at the little lady dressed as a woman, and the little lady also looked at her. It's just that unlike Jin Niang's dislike and anger, and not leaking her voice, this little lady's eyes are a little dark and resentful.

The second cousin-in-law was a little embarrassed to see the scene, and stumbled to introduce the two, and Jin Niang learned that the little lady in front of her was the fifth girl who had been married in the big house of Shifu.

The old lady of Shifu is a capable child, in addition to four sons, she also gave birth to two daughters. The girl naturally got married and had children a long time ago, and because the old lady and the old lady were both there, there was no reason to separate the family, so the four rooms lived together.

The big room has two Lang Jun and Erlang, five girls and one girl. This girl is quite literate, and because her grandfather is a lifter, her father is a showman, and the two brothers in the family are also outstanding. The girl raised in this way is pretentious, arrogant, and does not marry those who are not talented and famous.

However, the literary style in the northwest region is far less prosperous than that in Jiangnan and other places, and the ten-year-old Xiucai has never been seen here. Just like Pingyang Town, there are only three people in the town, and there are only more than ten talents. And the youngest student in the examination that year was also in his twenties, and he had already become his own son.

Therefore, this fifth girl, Shi Jingyu, wants to marry Xiucai Gong directly, it obviously doesn't work - most of the people who have already won Xiucai are married and start a business, and if they can't, they will lose their wives. Obviously not!!

So when Shi Jingyu was sixteen years old, whether she agreed or not, she was forcibly taken out by her family to look at her.

Shi Jingyu may have accepted his fate, or maybe he wanted to marry Xiucai directly, but he would marry a man who was most likely to be a talent in recent years. Therefore, the husband she chose was another second grandson in Pingyang Town. The man is not good-looking, not tall, and not very good-looking, but one thing is better, he is outstanding, no matter who he says, as long as the man ends up, he must be a talent.

Shi Jingyu got married like this.

Just a few months after she got married, it was reported that Xu Dalang died in battle, and Xu Erlang was forced to abandon Wu Congwen by Xu's father and Xu mother.

This has to be inserted into an old story.

I think that Shi Jingyu was confused by Xu Erlang's good skin, and once wanted to marry Xu Erlang as a lady. But as she got older, her vanity grew, and Shi Jingyu was influenced by her grandfather and father, and she also looked down on rude martial artists, and Xu Erlang became cold and unkind, and when she tried him several times to see if he could abandon martial arts, she refused without hesitation, and Shi Jingyu retreated a little from this relationship.

But she still couldn't bear to be obsessed with the wrong payment for many years, so until she agreed with her mother to look at her, she also gave Xu Erlang a special opinion and asked him if he had changed his mind, but Xu Erlang didn't have the heart to listen to her finish speaking, so he went to find Xu Sanlang who was in trouble.

Shi Jingyu gave up.

However, less than half a year after she got married, Xu Erlang gave up martial arts and literature, and even participated in this year's Enke.

That's really ...... Outrageous.

When Shi Jingyu heard this "good news", her hands trembled a little. Now I can only hold on to the only hope - I hope that Xu Erlang will fall off the list, her husband can not only become a showman, but also become a student, and her husband can suppress Xu Erlang everywhere. Otherwise, she really can't swallow this breath.

Shi Jingyu has a grudge against Xu Erlang, and can only be more hostile to Jinniang.

She only thinks that Jin Niang is inferior to her anywhere, although Jin Niang also has a talented father, then she has a grandfather. Her family has many children and grandchildren, and she can give Xu Erlang a lot of help, on the other hand, Jin Niang, the Lin family is very small, that is, if something happens to the Xu Mansion, can the Lin family help?

Jin Niang is not a person without perception, on the contrary, she has a sharp mind, and she feels Shi Jingyu's dislike and hostility almost immediately.

Shi Jingyu is the same age as her, and she is Xu Erlang's cousin, cousin or something, Jin Niang immediately thought that the two had some emotional entanglements, and she was unlucky to be angered by Shi Jingyu.

She never doubted that Shi Jingyu was Xu Erlang's "past", after all, Xu Erlang has a domineering and strong personality, if he has a heart, then he will marry someone into the family no matter what, and there is no such result as parting ways.

So, this girl must be unrequited love, right?

I have to say that Jin Niang inadvertently found out the truth again.
