The time soon came to the day of the lotus appreciation banquet held in Yunfu.

It happened to be a cloudy day. From time to time, there is a real breeze blowing outside, and it is unusually cool.

Going out in this kind of weather is much more comfortable than going out in the sun. Jin Niang's resistance to going out also disappeared at this time.

After finishing breakfast early in the morning, Jin Niang didn't rush to Yunfu, but waited for Aunt Shen and Ke Ke in the mansion.

Valin did things safely, and then knew that Uncle Shen's family was also temporarily living in Lin Mansion, so he made up a post and sent it over, inviting Aunt Shen to take her daughter-in-law and daughter over to play for a day.

This is the first post that Aunt Shen received after she came to the capital. Especially the one who gave her a post, she was still a lady of fate. But Aunt Shen was excited, I heard that she had been busy dressing up on the day of the lotus banquet for the past few days, and she didn't stop for a few days.

Because to go to Yunfu, you have to pass through the alley in front of Xu's house, so Jinniang communicated with Aunt Shen in advance, saying that she would go over together when the time came. They walked to the entrance of Xufu Hutong and asked people to come over to inform them, and she took Changle and Xiaoyuer over to them.

It is rare for Jin Niang to go out as a guest, so she naturally wants to bring Changle of the right age. Changle has also reached the year of cardamom, and it is time to look at each other. Although Jin Niang 1,100 don't want to marry a "girl", she should first release the news that there is a school-age girl in the family, so that people can remember it. If you can't meet the right one, then you can wait. It's not good to wait until the age of sixteen or seventeen to take the girl out to socialize, at that time the good boys are all set, so where can Changle go.

Changle goes, Xiaoyuer and Changqi also go. Jin Niang didn't want to favor one over the other, so she decided to bring the two sisters with her. As for Cheung Chau and Changhui, they can only stay at home. After all, the banquet is full of female dependents, what are they doing with these boys? It's still serious to study at home.

Jin Niang waited in the house for a while, and Changle, who had cleaned up, came over with her two younger sisters.

Xiao Yu'er is also rare to go out as a guest, and when she saw Jinniang, she asked her if she was dressed properly and decently cleaned? Jin Niang looked at it, and naturally responded "okay" again and again. This girl looks like her, and she has a good look. In addition, Jin Niang's pet daughter, the clothes and jewelry prepared for the little girls are the best, so the girls raised in the rich nest are delicate and beautiful, and they really look good in a sack, not to mention that they can be cleaned up deliberately.

The mother and daughter talked in the house for a while, and someone came to spread the word that Aunt Shen's carriage was almost at the mouth of the alley. Jin Niang and the others hurriedly went out and got into their carriage and met Aunt Shen at the entrance of the alley.

Jin Niang is cautious, she wants Xuanxuan to make a stunning appearance today, give Valin enough face, and brush up her favorability in advance. So as soon as she saw the carriage that Ke Ke and Xuanxuan were sitting in, she stopped her carriage and walked over to get into the car of the two.

Ke Ke and Xuanxuan pulled Jin Niang in the carriage, and Ke Ke also smiled and said, "Why didn't my sister bring Changle over too?" Their little girl's house is bored sitting in the carriage, so it is better to call over and talk to us. I haven't seen them for a few days, and I miss them. ”

Jin Niang said, "When you go back, send them to Lin Mansion to live for a few days, and you can be as rare as you like." A few little girls can also make a fuss, and I am unstable all day long, so if you like it, stay in the house and let them be your company. ”

Ke Ke immediately covered his mouth and laughed, "Of course it's good, I can't ask for it, I'm afraid that my sister will dislike what she says, and I won't be willing to give it up when the time comes." ”

Jin Niang will not be reluctant, and she is indeed thinking about letting a few children go to the Lin Mansion to live for a while. Because Xuanxuan's family affairs have settled, Qing'er and Ke Ke are like glue, and my father and aunt have nothing to worry about, I am afraid that they will return to Pingyang after a while.

Pingyang also has a private school run by the Lin government, and the private school was handed over to a few Xiucai to take care of temporarily during his stay in Beijing. Although it must be stable, it is normal for Father Lin to be worried about the students inside.

After all, if it is just an enlightened boy, there is no obstacle to let a few Xiucai gentlemen teach, but there are two of them who are studying in private schools, and their daily homework is taught by Lin's father. Father Lin delayed their studies for a few months for Qing'er's family affairs, and he was already very guilty, if he was allowed to stay in the capital all the time, ignoring the two students who were studying, Father Lin would definitely not be able to do it.

Besides, Father Lin has been staying in Beijing for a long time this time, and it has been more than three months since he went to Beijing. It will take half a month to go back, which will be delayed for a quarter, and Father Lin is now afraid that he would like to go back to Pingyang earlier.

Jin Niang had this thought in her heart, but she didn't say it. She looked at Xuanxuan with a scrutinizing gaze, and her eyes became more and more amazing.

Xuanxuan cleaned up more properly today than on the day of the marriage, she was wearing an aqua blue coat and a long skirt with the same fabric, the fabric was a bit like a fog shadow veil, particularly light and elegant, plus some subtle red flowers on the fabric, which was a special match with the set of jewelry sent by Jin Niang.

Xuanxuan is dressed in a new way, and the makeup on her face is personally started by her sister-in-law who is proficient in this way, and this one is cleaned up, lining Xuanxuan's skin is white and jade, her eyebrows and eyes are plump, her lips and teeth are bright, and she is very shy. It's really a picture of a beauty, and when you look at it, you can't help but clap your hands and sigh, "Today's makeup is so good." Okay now, I was going to personally take care of Xuanxuan's two strokes, but now it seems that I should rest. I'm not as skilled as Koco. ”

Hearing Jin Niang's words, both Ke Ke and Xuan Xuan had red lights on their faces. Xuanxuan was purely ashamed, and Ke Ke was also a little embarrassed. But in the end, she is a daughter-in-law, and her face is thicker, so she joked to Jinniang, "I knew that my sister was going to do it herself, so I wouldn't be ugly, my craftsmanship is far worse than my sister." ”

The two exchanged humbles, and the sound of laughter came from the carriage. Aunt Shen and Aunt Shen, who were sitting in the carriage in front of them, heard this, and their expressions immediately became different.

Aunt Shen is full of gratification, the family house is peaceful, the children are harmonious, and the children are filial, which is really a good thing that can not be asked for in a lifetime. Now that everything is in order at home, she really has no more dissatisfaction.

As for Aunt Shen, listening to the hearty laughter, she felt a little jealous in her heart. As soon as she was jealous of the Lin family's life, her children became more and more excited, not only did Jinniang and Qing'er have a good future, but she was the least optimistic, and Xuanxuan, who was brought to the Lin family by her sister-in-law, also had a good husband.

This made Aunt Shen extremely jealous.

Why didn't her jewel meet such a wishful man?

Why can't her pearl and orb get along so well?

Baozhu is better, knowing that Sister Qianrang is a pearl, she is really strong everywhere, and her head hurts every time.

But every time she wants to preach, Mingzhu is still crooked. Didn't it mean that she was spoiled because she was pampered, just that her temper didn't look like her? Speaking of which, it's all about her mother, but she's very innocent.

and Shen Cheng's wife, Liao, and Mingzhu are also a little bit uneasy. Although the two would not fight under the nose of Uncle Shen, the relationship was very stiff in private. Aunt Shen had a few seizures of her daughter-in-law because of this, but the more she had seizures, the more stiff the relationship between Mingzhu and the Liao family became.

Counting on the harmony between the daughter and the daughter-in-law...... It's impossible in their house anyway.

When Aunt Shen thought of this, she became more and more jealous, so she said to Aunt Shen in a weird way, "My sister-in-law is really lucky, Jinniang is filial to you, Qing'er treats you as a biological mother, and even the daughter-in-law who marries into the door really respects you." Now that Xuanxuan also has a wishful son-in-law, her sister-in-law is worth it in this life. Alas, think about how you were forced to get away with no way out, and went back to your parents' house with Xuanxuan in your arms, at that time, your eldest brother and I were still worried about how you lived the rest of your life, and now look at it...... Fortunately, I married you to your brother-in-law to fill the house, otherwise there would be such a good life there. ”

Aunt Shen's face turned red and white when she heard this.

For a while, I was embarrassed and helpless.

She is her brother-in-law's filler, there is no doubt about it. But after so many years, few people talk about it now.

Aunt Shen is not afraid of people, after all, she and her brother-in-law had nothing to do with each other earlier. She was still desperate, and her brother-in-law was looking for someone to help take care of Jinniang and Qing'er, so she had her eldest brother take charge and marry her.

There's nothing to hide, but the sister-in-law's tone of voice is quite yin and yang, anyway, no matter how she listens, she doesn't like it, she has fire in her heart for no reason, but she doesn't know how to vent it for a while.

Aunt Shen grabbed the handkerchief and stopped talking, and the two were silent until Yunfu.

There are already a few guests in the Yun Mansion, and they are all Valin's maiden sisters. She was born as a concubine and married Yun Shaoqing, also because Yun Shaoqing was still a poor student with no merit earlier, so she married smoothly.

Her mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, but she has always done her duty when she was in the boudoir, so she didn't suffer any trouble when she got married.

And because Yun Shaoqing rose to prominence after getting married, her mother's family had the heart to ease the relationship, so she and her mother's family have been doing well over the years.

The key is because after Zhaowu was slandered, she was always "teased" when she went out, and her sisters helped her out, or simply sent the people who were looking for trouble back, and after coming and going, Valin received their kindness, and the two sides became more harmonious.

It was Valin's sisters and two sisters-in-law who had already arrived, and those people were now sitting in the flower hall, and Valin heard that the people from the Lin Mansion and the Xu Mansion had arrived, and happily went out to greet them in person.

Her sister-in-law is also a good person, so she said directly, "I'll go with you, which also shows that we value this family business more." ”

Valin's eldest daughter-in-law, Gu Shi, also said, "I will also go with my mother." Last time, the second brother was married, my mother and father went together, so I was left at home, I haven't seen my future brother and sister yet, but I have to go over to recognize my face. ”

When Valin heard this, he pointed to his eldest daughter-in-law and said, "It's not that you have a big reaction and vomit all day long." You can't take care of yourself anymore, and I can still keep you busy. ”

Gu was pregnant, and the reaction during pregnancy was particularly serious, that is, she had to vomit when she drank saliva, so that in the third month of pregnancy, her whole body was thin and out of shape. Fortunately, a few days ago, she was three months pregnant, and the pregnancy reaction slowly disappeared, and she was able to take a few more bites of food, which looked good to the naked eye, and even the meat on her cheeks seemed to be more.

The three of them laughed and laughed as they walked quickly to the gate to greet the distinguished guests.

Aunt Shen and Aunt Shen got out of the carriage first, both of them were very restrained, but fortunately, Valin was hearty and atmospheric, her sister-in-law could speak well, and even the Gu family was thoughtful and considerate, and Aunt Shen and Aunt Shen were not so nervous after three or two sentences.

Jin Niang and a few people got out of the carriage and walked over, Gu Shi looked at Jin Niang first, and her eyes were amazing, but when she saw Jin Niang's lady hair bun, she realized that this should not be her younger brother and sister.

Gu is also a well-thought-out person, and in an instant, he thought of who Jin Niang might be. But that's too young, doesn't it mean that they already have five children? The eldest daughter is about to see each other, and she is still so young and beautiful, she looks like a woman in her twenties, so it is no wonder that Lord Xu has always guarded his wife.

Envy crossed Gu Shi's heart, and then looked at the other two people beside Jin Niang. One is Ke Ke from the Fifth Princess's Mansion, she naturally recognizes it, after all, the Fifth Princess also brought her daughter to the Mansion as a guest. As for the other woman with clear eyebrows, beautiful and gentle, who seems to be two or three points similar to Mrs. Xu...... If nothing goes wrong, it's time for the future brother-in-law.

It's really good-looking.

The key is that the little girl's eyebrows are clear and translucent, and she is simple-minded at first glance.

Seeing this, Gu Shi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the future concubine looked easy to get along with, which made the stone she was carrying in her heart fall to the ground abruptly. I can't help but sigh that my uncle is so blessed, he has been married so far, and he thought that he could only reluctantly find a noble girl to settle down, clinker...... It's really a marriage, and a good couple is a natural match.

The group exchanged a few words outside the door and were welcomed in.

When they arrived at the flower hall, they made another introduction, and then they began to talk.

Soon, new guests arrived. Valin went out to greet the guests with a red face, and as for the rest of the guests, her sister-in-law and sisters took care of them.

There were more and more guests, and later the fifth princess also came to the door.

Ke Ke saw his mother who came in, and walked over with brisk steps, "Mother, you don't say a word when you come over, and I can go to the door to greet you." ”

The fifth princess patted her daughter's hand, looked at the red fluttering cheeks, and said with a smile, "I'm not seventy or eighty years old and can't move, so you ran over to meet me in person." I wasn't going to come, but your brother was punished by your father for causing trouble yesterday and kneeling in the ancestral hall, and my mother was going to watch the two of them at home. As a result, today is a good day, and my mother temporarily decided to come and go around. ”

Valin walked to the side, and smiled when he heard the words, "No, your mother is not easy to invite, I made two posts, and your mother said that she might not come." But the sky is beautiful, it's cool today, and the princess can't come out if she doesn't want to. ”

The people next to him laughed when they heard the words, and for a while they greeted each other again, and the lively greetings made the flower hall very happy.
