Chapter 14: Sisters

"Grandmother, don't worry, the fifth sister personally agreed!" Xie Mingyuan thought that Old Madam Gu was worried about Xie Jinyi's trouble, and said busily, "The fifth sister also said that in the past few days, let the maid and wife of Qingxin Garden come over to help clean up, the scenery of Langyuan is elegant, and the poetry meeting will be held there, which is the most suitable!" ”

"Men and women don't kiss, remember, don't let a foreign man enter Qingxin Garden, insulting the Xie family's face." Old Madam Gu repeatedly instructed, "I know that you and Young Master Xu are classmates and friends, but the fifth girl is always your sister, and you can't help the abuse, and then cause trouble in vain, make people laugh!" ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, it's about the reputation of our Xie Mansion, I will be cautious." Xie Mingyuan nodded again and again, "Zhong Yuan, a person who understands etiquette, will definitely not do anything beyond the bounds." ”

"That's good!" Old Madam Gu looked at the personable young man lovingly, and said with a spring breeze on her face, "Go to the account and pay a hundred taels of silver, prepare well, don't let your classmates underestimate our Anping Bo Mansion." ”

asked her to say that none of the sons and brothers in the entire capital could compare to her grandson, dignified, modest and polite.

The more she looked, the more she liked it.

"Thank you, Grandmother!" Xie Mingyuan was overjoyed.

When Xu heard that the government was going to hold a poetry party for the girls in Langyuan, he immediately took out his own silver and took Cheng Linyu to buy jewelry and clothing.

Even if she has already arranged Cheng Linyu's marriage, she also hopes that Cheng Linyu can come out on top in front of everyone, and by the way, she can also let the Yong'an Hou Mansion take a look, Cheng Linyu is also very popular in the capital...... If he wants to marry Cheng Linyu in the future, he has to show enough sincerity.

Although she has a good relationship with her brother-in-law, she painstakingly planned to marry Xie Jinyi for her nephew.

But compared to her nephew, she is naturally closer to her daughter.

"I know that my mother is planning for me with her heart, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and I will not go out of the limelight." Cheng Linyu thoughtfully touched the pile of pink and beautiful clothes, took three pieces from them, and instructed Chi's mother, "Send the green ones to the third sister, the pink ones to the fourth sister, and the light red ones to the fifth sister. ”

"You girl......" Xu Shi was very distressed when he saw his daughter so sensible, and said angrily, "Let's just prepare ourselves, no matter what they do, they don't necessarily remember you if they have a good one." ”

The three girls are pretentious, the four girls are selfish, and the five girls are arrogant and arrogant, none of them are good.

Only her daughter is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, and thinks about others everywhere.

Now she wants to be wronged and pleases them, and she feels very uncomfortable.

"Mother, although I am not the daughter of the Xie family, the Xie family has the grace of nurturing and teaching me." Cheng Linyu said frankly, "Besides, if I can get along well with the sisters in the house, my mother's life in the house will be better, besides, it's just a few pieces of fabric, so it's okay." ”

She only needs Xu Shenxing to be good to her alone.

I don't want to be in the limelight anymore!

The Xu family has always been obedient to Cheng Linyu's words.

Very happily, I ordered Chi's mother to send the fabric to the girls.

Then Mother Chi brought back the girls' reactions to Xu's listen: "The third girl thanked her, and asked people to find a few handkerchiefs for the sixth girl, and the fourth girl and Aunt Qian were very happy, saying that the fourth girl was worried about having no new clothes to wear, only the fifth girl was there, Ziyu received the material and entered the house...... The slaves and maids didn't even see the faces of the five girls! ”

"It doesn't matter if she appreciates it or not, it's all the hearts of the six girls." Xu sighed and said quietly, "Since the fifth girl was beaten, it was like a different person, and even I refused to see it!" ”

"Madame doesn't have to be careful, the girl's family is thin-skinned, and she has lost her ugliness in front of so many people, and it is reasonable that she refuses to see people." Mother Chi said disapprenously, "How can Young Master Xu say that he is also Madame's nephew, who does not rely on Madame to rely on Madame's family business?" It's just a few days of petty temper. ”

"I hope so!" Xu sighed again, thought about it, and said, "Since the niece of the sister-in-law is coming, then let's also invite the three girls and the four girls from the Yong'an Hou Mansion to come, there are more people and more lively!" ”

"Madame is very true." Mother Chi replied with a smile.

At the end of October, the weather warmed up and the sun was shining.

The sky is cloudless and breezy.

The table under the cloister is full of fruit plates and snacks, tea and wine, the sons talk about poetry and papers in groups, enjoy music and music, comfortable and elegant, the maids serve tea and pour wine, and the comings and goings are orderly, showing the style of the high-door mansion.

Because of a few pieces of fabric, Cheng Linyu and the two concubines of the Xie family rarely got a lot closer, and the three of them went to Qingxin Garden with a smile.

Xie Jinyi didn't see anyone before, and they were all closed to each other a few times.

Fortunately, today's Langyuan Poetry Meeting was agreed by the grandmother, and the three of them dressed up in fancy clothes and entered the Qingxin Garden with confidence.

Ziyu frowned at the smell of rouge, and led the three of them into the inner room expressionlessly, served tea, and said lukewarmly: "My girl is still asleep, please wait for a while." ”

"It's okay, the cousins haven't come here yet, anyway, let's have a cup of tea and wait." Cheng Linyu smiled lightly, very understanding, "The fifth sister is unwell, but we are bothered." ”

"Knowing that we are coming, we don't get up early yet, the fifth sister is really a big shelf!" Xie Jinyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, the entrance was sweet, the tea soup was clear, this idiot really had silver, put the teacup heavily, got up and said, "Maybe the cousin girls have already arrived at the door, I'll go out to greet you, you just wait here!" ”

If it weren't for the poetry meeting in Langyuan, she would like to take the opportunity to show up, when she is willing to come to this Qingxin Garden!

I didn't see that Ziyu's dead girl's face was about to freeze!

"Why should the third sister be in a hurry, just wait a while." Cheng Linyu pulled her with a smile, "My aunt has already arranged for the maid to greet the girls at the door, so you don't have to do it yourself with the third sister." ”

Xie Jinyue sat down reluctantly.

Xie Jinru only cared about drinking tea and didn't squeak.

One of them is a long-room concubine and a second-room concubine, they can suppress her, and she only has to shut up.

After a while, I saw Ziyu holding Xie Jinyi and lifting the curtain and walking out.

The three of them hurriedly looked up at Xie Jinyi.

I haven't seen her for many days, but she is still as dark and fat as ever...... No, it's fatter than before, the belt with delicate patterns doesn't seem to be able to wrap around the round waist, and the chubby face is as soft as a freshly steamed steamed bun, really, it's really impossible to look at!

Cheng Linyu suppressed the joy in her heart, hurriedly got up to support her, and asked with concern, "Fifth sister, are you better?" ”

"Thanks to my sisters, I'm much better!" Xie Jinyi quietly pushed her away, reluctantly stuffed herself into the chair, and said with a tired look, "It's all my own sisters, you can just feel free, I'll go to the house and sleep for a while." ”

After walking a few steps, he turned around and instructed Ziyu weakly: "Ziyu, entertain the girls for me, before I wake up, no one is allowed to disturb me, and when the cousin girls come, send the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the Langyuan flower room, don't be lazy." ”

The flower room is very exquisitely designed, the windows are very large, and there are four wooden doors alone, and the light transmittance is very good.

Xie Mingyuan is the most careful.

Xie Ting had already cleaned up the flower room to make the girls' poems, and Xie Ting naturally agreed, so that the sons and girls were separated from each other and did not interfere with each other.

"Yes!" Ziyu replied, and blessed the three of them, and said lukewarmly, "Three girls, please follow me to the front hall to drink tea, our girls are frail and can't get out of bed for a long time, so it's inevitable that we will be physically exhausted, and we can come out for so long to meet the girls." ”

Today the girl has more important things to do.

How can you waste time here with them?

Xie Jinyue: "......"

Cheng Linyu: "......"

Xie Jinru: "......"

But after three or two sentences, you will be physically exhausted?

Isn't it going to be disabled?

Of course, Xie Jinyi ignored their thoughts, went back to the house, and went to the latch.

I changed my clothes, freshened up with my heart, put on a pink cloak, put on a hat, pushed the door into the sacrificial hall, raised my hand to open a secret door, behind the secret door is a road several zhang wide, the corridor is covered with a thick carpet, there is no sound when I walk, a candle is lit on the wall every ten steps, scattering a faint light, at the end of the road, I entered the secret room of the Su house, climbed the steps from the secret room, and then pushed open a secret door and entered the inner room of the Su house.

Su Fu had been waiting for half an hour.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still taken aback when he really saw Xie Jinyi who took off his hat.
