The news of the Lin family's golden house was spread along with the gossip between the women.

There was no movement from Mrs. Zang, but Mrs. Qiao came to the door in advance for the sake of her nephew of the same clan.

The ancestral home of the Qiao family is Shandong, and there are two Jinshi before and after, Mrs. Qiao's second uncle is one of them, the current Rizhao prefect, Mrs. Qiao mentioned that the nephew is the second son of the Qiao prefect, but in any case, this family affair is considered a high marriage, Lin Mei is a little not optimistic, one is that Shandong is too far away, and the second is that the foundation of the Lin family is too shallow, and Xi'er is that weak character, if he is wronged, he has to swallow it in his stomach.

"I don't really advocate that the marriage should be arranged by the parents, how can I take a look at each other to see if there is an eye relationship, otherwise there is a pair of resentful couples in the family, it is easy to make trouble and not talk about it, and it is easy to make trouble with the chickens and dogs, so Xi'er's family affairs, I want her to pick her own, she is satisfied, there is nothing to fail on my side."

When the people outside the door heard this, they didn't dare to make a sound, and all four pairs of eyes were fixed on the cracks in the window lattice.

Mrs. Qiao was okay, and said with a smile: "That's right, but it can't be too outrageous, men should get married, women should get married, since ancient times, marriage should be due to the order of parents, matchmakers, although your family is in a special situation, but the eldest sister is like a mother, and your sister's family affairs have to be the nod of your eldest sister." ”

"Even if I nod my head, my aunt will arrange the arrangement and let me meet me first."

Mrs. Qiao was a little uneasy in her heart, her nephew was the second son of the next room, far away in Shandong, I was afraid that it would be difficult to arrange it for a while, even if she praised him to the sky, she had to see Lin Mei's tough attitude. couldn't help but pout, if it weren't for the lobby sister-in-law's letter to complain, saying that she was worrying about Brother Xin's marriage, that is, she couldn't cross the eldest daughter-in-law too high, and she couldn't have a shabby family background to make people mistakenly think that she was harsh Brother Xin, and after thinking about it, she felt that there would be more places to use the lobby sister-in-law in the future, otherwise she would not be willing to wade into this muddy water.

But in the whole Luoyang City, Mrs. Qiao was not very satisfied, and it happened that Lin Xi was good at the Lin family's banquet, not only was he beautiful, although his family background was not high, but he had a brother who was a jinshi and a brother-in-law who was a general, and judging from the specifications of the Lin family's daughter-in-law, the dowry for marrying a daughter in the future would not be too low. No matter who the backer is behind it, Mrs. Zang always thinks that if she can match her nephew, it should be feasible to match Brother Xin.

Mrs. Qiao is also a person with a daughter, and she was quickly relieved of the Lin family's request, and said with a smile: "On the fifth day of the first month of next month, my old lady will celebrate her birthday, and my mother's family will also send her to celebrate her birthday. ”

The man under the window lattice felt that he had almost heard it, and sneaked into the back yard on tiptoe.

Lin Mei felt that no matter whether this thing was successful or not, she would look at each other first, and then talk about it, in case the two of them looked at the mung beans and saw the right eye, they responded with a smile, and personally sent people to the gate, so they went to the restaurant.

Peaches didn't go back to the house, she went directly to the next room, gave Xi'er a look, and said to Jixiang who was splitting the embroidery thread: "I'm a little thirsty, you go to the kitchen and ask for two bowls of mung bean soup." ”

Ji Xiang answered yes and went to the kitchen.

Xi'er was startled, hurriedly stopped the embroidery work in her hand, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong, you have to branch the girl to talk?" ”

Peach poured a cup of tea, sat on the embroidery stool next to her and drank a few sips slowly, and then she suffocated her stomach before she said leisurely like the eldest sister: "Mrs. Qiao just came to propose marriage to the eldest sister, and she was talking about a nephew of the same clan of Mrs. Qiao's mother's family. ”

It turned out to be for this matter, but the eldest sister had mentioned it before, but Xi'er didn't think about it so much, and said softly: "Just mention it, you want to get married, it's just a matter of time or time, isn't everyone like this?" I don't have any opinion on the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, as long as my father and eldest sister agree, I will marry. ”

Momoko immediately understood what she meant, her eyes lit up, and she whispered: "I heard the eldest sister say, I don't advocate that the marriage should be arranged by the parents, why should I take a look at each other, Mrs. Qiao said that next month, Mrs. Qi will have a birthday, and she will give a post to our family, let the eldest sister take us there, do you say that we will see that Qiao Gongzi by then?" ”

Xi'er was blushing at the scene, and seeing that she had to laugh heartlessly, she couldn't help but reach out to scratch her squeaky nest, and Peaches giggled and hid to the side.

The two sisters laughed and played for a while, and they didn't stop until Jixiang came with two bowls of mung bean soup.

At this time, Sheng Minghui's Yahuan Begonia came to invite the two sisters to go shopping together.

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, but they responded happily.

But before he went out, he didn't have a pillar of incense, and the peach folded back angrily.

Even Sheng Minghui and Lin Xi in the back with a handful of maids-in-law's faces were not good-looking.

Sheng Minghui is older than the two of them, and she is a sister-in-law, so she acts safer than the two of them, and the first thing she did when she returned home was to close the door, and she recruited the begonias around her to send her to inquire on the street to see who the rumors were spreading.

"It's better not to let the eldest sister know about this, otherwise the eldest sister will be so sad!" Xi'er was a little scared.

Thinking that the Feng family was full of turmoil in the city when they retreated from their relatives, Xi'er also became the object of criticism from others, so much so that she didn't even go out of the door, for fear of being recognized, and she shrank like a quail in the back room of the Lin family for a long time.

Sheng Minghui didn't think so, but she was afraid that she would say too much and cause disgust to her sisters, so she wouldn't say anything to her in the future.

Peaches said angrily: "Even if you don't say it today, won't others say it?" The eldest sister has to go out to take care of the restaurant all day long, what is the place where the restaurant is, the most crowded place, the eldest sister will know sooner or later, instead of making a lot of noise in the city, it is better to tell the eldest sister directly now, maybe you can come up with a way to deal with it. ”

Sheng Minghui gave her a thumbs up in her heart, but she didn't expect that although Peaches was impatient, her wit was not lost to children of the same age. simply followed her words to appease Xi'er and said: "In my opinion, Peaches is right, people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky, we can't blindly avoid it, and our Lin family is also made of dough and let them knead it." When the eldest sister came back with my brother, I felt that something was wrong, and I was afraid that people would gossip, but then I thought about it, as long as our family members have no opinions, we can't get in the way of others. If someone really provokes trouble with this, let your eldest brother come forward when the time comes, just say that this child is the adopted son of Brother Shan, and it will be good after a few days. ”

Peach's face was pale.

Xi'er couldn't believe her ears, it turned out that her sister-in-law not only expected it a long time ago, but also had already thought of countermeasures, and then thought about when she would become as timid as a mouse, even a peach was not as good. After entering the Lin family, it doesn't seem right; It seems that after entering the door from the Zhou family, I am afraid that my stepmother will not like it, just like the stepmother scolded a wild girl in the mountains, and she also wants to be a serious daughter...... It seems that from that time on, Xi'er prefers to do embroidery work in the boudoir, and subtly regards herself as the Lin family's embroidery girl to repay the Lin family's nurturing kindness......

The thought flashed, and Xi'er was stunned.

She, she used to put herself so humble, so humble that she lived up to the kindness of the Lin family, so humble that she only knew how to blindly avoid it when she encountered trouble! Even her own family affairs, the eldest sister has to let herself look at each other, isn't this the respect that she really gives as if she were her own sister?

Xi'er's introspection soon made her realize that it was like removing a layer of fog that shrouded her eyes, making her heart mirror more transparent.
