Chapter 21: Hot Potato

"Why is it so late, where are you going to play?"

Duchess Guo glanced at Nan Jinyu's men's clothes and looked displeased. I don't know, I think the Guogong Mansion can't afford to provide her with a single coat!

"Mother is angry, the fourth sister must have been deceived to delay some time on the road, not intentionally neglected." Nan Jinning, who was on the side, immediately answered with a flattering smile.

What a scam!

Nan Jinyu sneered in her heart, and spoke weakly: "I got lost in the courtyard just now, but fortunately I met the fourth sister to lead the way, if Mrs. wants to blame, blame me." ”

"Nonsense! Where did she get lost, it was clearly a deliberate ......"

"Second sister," Nan Jinse interrupted her, a little naΓ―ve appeared on her delicate face, "Sister Jinyu only returned home today, and it's normal to not find the way." ”

Nan Jinyu raised her eyebrows, didn't she want to scold her in disguise for not seeing the world in the countryside?

"What the third sister said is very true, but if it weren't for the war between His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Marquis of Yongning later, it would not have been delayed until this moment."

Nan Jinxi smiled innocently, and easily made Nan Jinning restless.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is also here?" The teacup in the Duchess Guo's hand shook and glanced at Nan Jinyu, "Jinyu knows what is going on?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, I don't know."

Nan Jinyu shook her head, her low eyebrows looked timid, and she didn't seem to be suitable for such an occasion.

Duchess Guo's eyes were slightly condensed, and she smiled when she turned her mind, "Just now we were still thinking about how to let the children meet, I don't want them to meet by chance, what does Mrs. Hou think?" ”

Nan Jinyu's eyelids jumped.

Didn't Nan Jinchen say that the Hou Shizi of Yongning had already refused? How can it be reciprocated?

"The child is older, even if I, a mother, want to be the master of him, I can only ask for a cold face, Ling Feng's child has an idea, if the Duchess asks me, I think that the eldest girl of the Nan family is beautiful and virtuous, and she is worthy of the housewife."

Mrs. Yongning Hou wore a celadon summer dress, and her voice was gentle like water, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Poof! Isn't what my sister-in-law said unwillingly? Why bother with such a twist and turn! ”

A spicy female voice interjected, and a woman in a rose-colored floral summer dress came over, warmly grabbed Nan Jinyu's hand, and said, "This girl looks like a well-behaved and good child, the prince doesn't like to be untight, marry our family Ling Yu!" ”

Different from the joy on the surface, the voice of disgust immediately came into Nan Jinyu's ears.

"The Nan family wants to marry the Ji family, who is not good to marry, but they chose such a hot potato. Although Nan Jinyu is the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, compared to the Nan family's daughters Nan Guanxuan and Nan Jinse, who have been raised seriously for more than ten years, this Nan Jinyu is only worthy of marrying a concubine, Mrs. Hou is unwilling to brush the face of the Nan family, so she will be the villain! ”

Nan Jinyu withdrew her hand vigorously, like a frightened little sheep, "This lady don't joke nonsense, how can marriage be such a child's play?" ”

"Mrs. Shangshu just said that, this girl is actually annoyed?"

Mrs. Yongning Hou covered her mouth and smiled, and beckoned to Nan Jinyu, "Girl, come here." ”

Nan Jinyu was speechless and choked, there is really a mother who must have a son, her son refuses to marry and has an uneasy conscience and wants to comfort her, does this old lady also feel uneasy in her conscience when she refuses to marry?

complained and complained, Nan Jinyu still moved to her, "What did Mrs. Hou call me for?" ”

"It's like ......"

Mrs. Yongning Hou looked at Nan Jinyu carefully, and a little sadness appeared in her eyebrows.
