Chapter 5, Young Master Cousin
Zhong Jinxiu only glanced at her and didn't reply.
She put her own things in one place, and she definitely didn't embarrass Zhong Jinxin, but she didn't pay much attention to her.
Because Zhong Jinxiu's brain was pumped and she wanted to stay in front of the old lady and wait, everyone in the room thought that the eldest lady had some conspiracy, and they came to see the excitement on the second day.
The second lady took her daughter Zhong Jinling, and the third lady saw him, Zhong Jinyi, Zhong Jinwan, and sat in front of the old lady's hall together.
The adults spoke, and their group of little girls sat in front of the door and talked about embroidery.
The second lady Yang looked at Zhong Jinxiu gathered around the female doll, and couldn't tell how she felt.
I only asked the old lady, "Mother, what kind of medicine did the eldest lady take?" ”
The old lady also felt that Zhong Jinxiu came to Ci'en Hall to be a bit of a cat, but this day, she was quiet, and every time she saw her, she was embroidering with embroidery, absolutely unambiguous.
She had come early in the morning to say goodbye, and she had the heart to hang her. She was not annoyed, she waited obediently, and waited for her more than the second miss.
Talking about the embroidery in her hand... It's not that you can't take it out, it's just that it's not outstanding.
"This kid is sensible now, but he has gradually picked up the style of the eldest sister."
Yang sneered when he heard this: "I'm afraid it's a whim of our eldest lady." ”
The third lady Sun said: "If the eldest lady can really change her mind, it will be good for us." ”
Sun thought for a while and said, "Mother, is our eldest lady's marriage an eyebrow?"
Speaking of this, the two ladies complained in their hearts.
The eldest young master and the second young master followed the expedition of the grandfather of the country, so the marriage of the two young masters was delayed, but when they delayed, the following was left.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer young talents of the appropriate age, they are not in a hurry.
"I heard that our eldest lady has taken a fancy to the prince born to Concubine Lian, and she will go to the palace tomorrow, can my mother mention it?"
The old lady frowned, broke her mind and said:
"Bastard, that's a child of heaven, how can you promise us to pick?"
The second lady nodded in agreement, then glanced at the eldest lady sitting at the door and smiled: "I'm afraid that our eldest lady is not interesting, so we have to catch up, and when the time comes, we will lose someone, so how can the women of our Zhong family deal with themselves?" ”
The little girls who were working at the door were all listening with their ears pricked up.
Zhong Jinxin did not shy away from suspicion, pouting slightly, with disdain and worry in his heart.
Zhong Jinling is secretly shameless in his heart, but he can do face-saving work.
"What congratulatory gift is the eldest sister going to give to Concubine Tong?"
Zhong Jinxiu didn't raise his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
Zhong Jinling sneered: "The eldest sister snatched the head of others some time ago, didn't she give that head face?" ”
Zhong Jinxiu raised his head slightly and said, "Rob? A few days ago, someone from the Wang family came to thank me for saving my life, doesn't the second sister know? I fell into the water because of this incident, and my second sister never visited, and I never listened to my personal explanation, how can I carry this matter at will? ”
Zhong Jinxiu has always been strong, and in his previous life, he was the queen's honor, and his majesty and momentum were all in one go, just a slight glance, and the oppressed people did not dare to look at each other.
"I said that I saved her from falling into the water, but the Wang family's response to the outside world was the same, so I saved her. And not the snatching that the second sister said? ”
Zhong Jinling couldn't stand such oppression, and cried.
Zhong Jinwan wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Zhong Jinyi.
Zhong Jinxiu didn't care, but the noise here provoked the movement of the people inside.
The second lady came out, and when she saw her delicate daughter crying pear blossoms with rain, she was distressed and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Zhong Jinling is very beautiful, only twelve years old, and he is already slender and tall, and he is beautiful and beautiful.
Her second aunt loves this girl very much, and even the old lady loves this young lady very much.
When the second lady saw her daughter's eyes red, she hurriedly stepped forward and screamed coquettishly.
"Miss, are you bullying your sister again?"
"As the eldest sister, you don't have the demeanor of the eldest sister, bully your sister, disrespect your elders, and you still want to marry into the royal family? How could the royal family want a daughter-in-law like yours? ”
Zhong Jinxiu glanced at Zhong Jinling, who suddenly lay in her mother's arms and cried, without saying a word, she was still like this, using crying to achieve all means. She is beautiful, and just one aggrieved look can make a man feel comfortable.
In her last life, she suffered a lot of losses.
Looking at her silent crying, I suddenly felt irritable in my heart, but it was not obvious on my face.
"The second sister is delicate, and it is common for her to cry three or four times, five or six times a day. Before you wronged me, you should ask the second sister, what happened just now? ”
"But you shouldn't talk nonsense, when did I say I wanted to marry into the royal family?"
"It seems that the second sister has some heredity and the second aunt, so she likes to make something out of nothing and ruin the reputation of the women in the family?"
The second lady looked at her sentence by sentence, and said with a cautious smile: "What the eldest lady can do is not yet able to be said." ”
"Naturally, I can't."
It was Shen Ruju who had just come in from outside, and Zhong Jinxiu turned slightly sideways to let her in.
Shen said: "Her second aunt, the child is not sensible, why are you still blindly involved?" ”
At first, when Shen Ruju first married in, the second aunt supervised the new daughter-in-law of the big house every day, as long as her aunt was not satisfied with her, she would shout painlessly, and her aunt wanted to correct her, and she didn't have the fighting spirit to stir up the second aunt.
"Sister-in-law, I know that you love your stepdaughter more than your own daughter, but you have to be reasonable in everything. Look at you, what did our eldest lady let you look like, not to mention disobeying the elders, and bullying the younger sister. If you talk about your in-laws' family in the future, who would dare to ask for it? ”
The second lady just likes the situation where she is disturbed by the long house, the stepdaughter is not harmonious, and the daughter is not close.
The big house is chaotic, and the second room can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Xiao Shen replied: "The second lady cries at every turn, I don't know if she will be disliked by her in-laws in the future, she is too childish." ”
"Shen Ruju, you are incompetent, the way you educate the eldest lady now, are you worthy of your sister?"
"Yang Luping, when you say this, don't you feel a chill in your back?"
......
The old lady saw the two daughters-in-law arguing like this, and she didn't take her seriously, and suddenly became angry.
"What's the noise? I'm not dead yet. ”
A few daughters-in-law were busy.
The old lady glanced at them, and was angry and unwilling to deal with them.
Zhong Jinxiu knew that the old lady was angry that her two daughters-in-law were incompetent, and they only knew that they were in the nest.
She sneered in her heart:
"Grandmother, it's Jinxiu's fault for causing you to worry, and I hope that grandmother, you take care of your body, don't be angry with us."
Jinxiu was the first to admit her mistake, but it caused the old lady to look at her differently.
But the second lady didn't give up and said, "Eldest lady, this is admitting the fact of bullying my sister?" ”
At this time, Zhong Jinling was so frightened by the old lady that she didn't dare to cry, her eyes were red and cute.
"Second aunt, I admit that I am ignorant, but I don't have the third sister who was raised by my grandmother's side, and I am deeply ashamed to make my grandmother angry. It's not the bullying second sister you said. ”
Zhong Jinxin heard her say this, and glanced up at her slightly.
This sentence not only made her grandmother happy, but also praised her, and made her own mother smile, and even the third lady looked at her in surprise.
Except that the second lady was speechless in anger, after all, no matter what she said, she would offend the old lady, after all, she was unwilling to put the child in front of the old lady to raise.
Zhong Jinxin took a step forward and said: "Grandmother, just now the second sister accused the eldest sister of stealing other people's things, and the eldest sister said that she didn't care about sisterhood and accused the sisters of being arrogant. ”
"Grandmother, granddaughter felt that the second sister's words were a little unserious, she didn't know that if she said this like this, it would damage not only the reputation of the eldest sister, but also the reputation of the sisters in the house. And the Wang family has already said that it was their young lady who fell into the water, and our eldest lady saved her, if it is rumored otherwise, our house will be charged with bullying. ”
"Maybe I will be impeached by the officials, my father is not in the capital, and the second uncle and third uncle are still in the court, I am afraid that they will be implicated."
In each room, the most taboo is the future of their own officials, and women are still dependent on men.
I forgot to say that her third sister is a wise and foolish person, and in this inner courtyard, she sees everyone very thoroughly, especially the old lady.
But what she didn't know was that the old lady hated her eldest son, because she was the son of that woman, the woman who made her the laughing stock of the whole capital.
The woman was dead, but his son was still there.
If he can't control his son, then she can control his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
With such a daughter who doesn't know the height of the sky, the Zhong family will eventually fall one day.
This step by step, the old lady has nothing to miss.
Zhong Jinling is smart, as long as she slanders her mother, the old lady will be very happy.
However, the old lady also liked her to tell the truth everywhere.
The old lady looked at the two unsuccessful ones, and her heart was depressed.
However, the peacemaker of the third family said: "Sister-in-law, I heard that someone came to your yard just now, I don't know whose relatives came?" ”
Shen Ruju smiled: "Look at what made you interrupt." ”
She turned to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, my nephew is here, and I will bring him over to greet you." ”
"What about people?"
"Wait outside."
"It's all a family, why are you still so polite, please invite him in."
When Zhong Jinxiu heard that her cousin was coming, she was slightly stunned.
In the previous life, this cousin gave up literature and turned to business, and he was very motivated in business.
I don't blame my cousin for being in business.
There are more than a dozen women in the family to be married, and each woman is to be married, which is a rich dowry to be given, because the grandfather Shen family has been poor for several generations, and they will not be able to operate for several generations, and they have fallen into some ruins.
Therefore, every woman who marries a man's wife and gives a dowry is borrowed from the treasury, so she owes a lot of money.
When the prince was in charge of the household department, after the investigation, he found that the household department was missing and the treasury was vacant, so he naturally asked for silver from the person who borrowed the silver.
The one in charge of asking for the silver is the three princes who don't know the world.
Because of the lack of silver, the Shen family has become an empty shell.
Without money, it is even more difficult to survive in this capital, let alone plan a good family for your children.
But in his impression, this cousin seems to have a beloved, who is a singer in the Qinglou, and the elders in the family objected and sent the woman away, and then the cousin never married a wife.
In my memory, my cousin will take the exam this year, and he will win in one fell swoop. was a political material, but in the end he gave up. Because the treasury was empty, and because the Chengen family owed a lot of money to the treasury, the only heir of the Chengen family had to go to the sea to do business. Zhong Jinxiu was sorry that Shen Mingze had already come in. I saw that he was handsome, his face was like a carving, his facial features were distinct, his angular face, his nose was high, and his red lips were moderately thick and thin, but at this time, he was smiling gently. Because he is often immersed in the scroll, he exudes elegance all over his body. Just as he was watching him, he just looked over, and his eyes were shining with a sharp light, but the next second he blinked slightly, as if he saw some interesting prey, and suddenly bloomed into a hot gaze. She frowned slightly. Fortunately, he quickly withdrew his gaze.
