Zhou Zhiruo wore a red peony flower Kaiyun brocade sleeve dress, with a round face and a little powder, which is not a stunning type, but the more you look at it, the more comfortable you feel.

Her voice is clear and her movements are generous, but sometimes she unconsciously reveals a little restraint and unnaturalness.

Lin Yu'an understood her mood very well, and after she saluted, she asked Nan Yu to take the gift prepared for her.

Zhou Zhiruo looked at the Zhi'er on the side with a gloomy face, and the Zhi'er smiled and gently squeezed her hand, which made Zhou Zhiruo feel ashamed again.

Looking at the appearance of the little two people mixing oil in honey, Lin Yuan's heart let go of most of it, Nanyu walked over with a box by the red sandalwood golden cloud, Lin Yu'an smiled and called Zhou Zhiruo: "Zhiruo." ”

Nan Yu smiled and quipped: "The princess told us to keep it early, just wait to take it out today!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, and the maid Bai Peony took the box, and Lin Zhicai said: "Open it and take a look, my sister is here, you don't have to be formal, if the etiquette is small, let's let my sister add it, but we can't lose it." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of laughter in the room, and the atmosphere became much more easy-going, Lin Yuan asked people to bring a soft stool over and let the two sit down beside them.

Zhou Zhiruo is very envious of such a sweet atmosphere, and her sister is also so happy when she talks to her mother Xiao Qiao, every time she goes, the atmosphere changes suddenly, and she always feels a kind of homeless sadness.

She experienced such a comfortable atmosphere for the first time, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, and her hand that opened the box was a little trembling, and she could see that Princess Jingnan was kind to her.

When I opened the box, it turned out to be a deed paper, as well as a few deed of sale.

She looked at Lin Yu'an in astonishment, Lin Yu'an looked at her with a warm smile, her eyes were full of gentleness, she took a few pieces of paper and looked at them carefully, Lin Yu'an explained: "This, it's for you, this silver building is open on Baihu Street, if there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can get almost sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver every year, this is just a branch of the silver building under my name, and I will give it to you as a person." ”

When she heard about sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver, Zhou Zhiruo only felt that she couldn't hold it, and when she heard that it was for her to make her own silver, she was even more panicked.

But she still had to pretend to be calm on her face, she looked at her husband a little overwhelmed, Lin Zhicai was also a little surprised, his sister gave him so much silver and property, and even gave his wife such a big gift, what is this for, isn't it just for him?

His heart was a little stagnant, he looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said: "Take what my sister gives, and in the future, I will treat my sister like my sister-in-law, and I will not waste my sister's thoughts." ”

Zhou Zhiruo choked in her throat and was almost speechless, when she was in the Zhou family, she saw a lot of cousins and cousins getting married, and the bride recognized her relatives on the first day she entered the door, if it was decent, the elders gave her a set of red gold head noodles, or jewelry handed down from her ancestors, which was considered a great dignity for her daughter-in-law.

But she didn't expect that Lin Zhicai's sister, and now Princess Jingnan, who is also her sister, actually sent a shop directly to her, and it was not a small grain and rice shop, a silk shop.

There are 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver this year, and if it is placed in the Zhou family, it will be a year's expenses.

Zhou Zhiruo just nodded, speechless, Lin Yu'an's eyes were also slightly red, and it could be seen that Zhou Zhiruo's life was not easy when she was at home, if it was Yu Huazhu and them, I was afraid that they would have to mumble a few words.

After all, the Rongguo Mansion is not a small family, and Yu Huazhu and these sisters have also seen the world, and for such a shop, there is no way to satisfy them.

The two sisters-in-law secretly praised each other in their hearts, and Lin Zhicai smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, what about them?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of children laughing outside, and then Chen walked in front with Ping'an, Brother Sheng and Sister Shu walked in the middle, and Xiao Chen and Mother Xu walked at the end with Brother Jiu in her arms.

Brother Sheng was still seeing his aunt Zhou Zhiruo for the first time, and the smile on his face receded like a tide for a while, Lin Zhicai had already hugged Brother Sheng'er up, and explained to him with a smile: "This is my aunt, do you like Brother Sheng?" ”

"I like it!" Sister Shu looked at Zhou Zhiruo's face and smiled like a flower, Zhou Zhiruo was amused by her and asked the maid to come out with a meeting gift.

She stuffed a big red envelope to Sister Shu'er, Sister Shu knew that it was a good thing, and she smiled even more toothlessly, so Lin Yu'an asked her: "What should I say after receiving the red envelope?" ”

Before coming, Mother Xu had already told her how to call people, and as soon as she heard her mother say it, Sister Shu said in a glutinous voice: "Uncle! ”

Zhou Zhiruo took out a small square box and gave it to Sister Shu'er, but Sister Shu didn't hold it steady, and with a "bang", a bracelet fell out of six or seven taels.

Listening to the voice, you know that this thing is solid, good things come in pairs, it is a pair, Lin Yu'an suddenly understood what Brother Zhi'er said is a loss.

She personally bent down and picked up the bracelet, the corners of her mouth raised a gentle arc, Sister Shu took it with a smile, and made a blessing to Zhou Zhiruo, and whispered thank you to her aunt.

Zhou Zhiruo liked it so much, hugged Sister Shu'er, and pinched her little hand, Lin Yu'an couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but joke Zhou Zhiruo: "Don't worry, this is in the door, it won't be long before you have news, it doesn't matter if it's a brother or a girl, look at you like girls, give birth to a few in the future!" ”

This is terrible, Zhou Zhiruo's face was so red that she couldn't raise her head, but Mother Xu interrupted with a smile: "Don't make fun of the bride, princess, if you keep talking, no one will dare to come in the future." ”

There was another burst of laughter in the room, but the pleasant atmosphere was broken by Zhou Qiaoer's hurried footsteps.

"Princess, someone from the Zhou family has come, and she said that she recognized her relatives."

The Zhou family came to recognize their relatives, it should be the old man of the Zhou family, Xiao Qiao's family and the seventh miss of the Zhou family, the fifth young master and the sixth young master of the Zhou family.

Lin Yu'an calmed his mind slightly, "Bring people in." ”

Not long after, there was a burst of footsteps outside, the crisp impact of the pearl hairpin and jade pendant, it seems that today's Zhou family ladies are all dressed up to attend, and people have heard their voices before they see it.

The mother-in-law outside said loudly: "The master of the Zhou family, the wife, and a few young masters and young ladies are here." ”

After speaking, the bead curtain was opened, and the crisp sound made people very comfortable, and I saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing an indigo brocade robe walk in, followed by a beautiful woman in a golden-brown silk sleeve skirt, with a goose egg face and a plump body, it seemed that it was the little Qiao who had some means.

Master Zhou paused, waited until Xiao Qiao's came to his side, and then walked forward together, and a pretty girl walked in with a nervous face, the girl was wearing a vermilion apricot blossom skirt, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, delicate eyebrows, looking young, I think it was Zhou Ruhuan, the seventh lady of the Zhou family who was five years younger than Zhou Zhiruo.

The last to come in were two tall and thin sons, dressed in brocade clothes, with silver crowns and bundled hair, one looked immature, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other looked much more stable, estimated to be twenty, thinking that it was the fifth young master of the Zhou family.

Lin Yu'an thought it was gone, but the fifth young master paused, thinking about what he was waiting for, and then the curtain rang slightly, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman dressed as a woman walked in.

She entered the room and smiled lightly at the fifth young master of the Zhou family, the style of her eyebrows and eyes was infinite, Lin Yu'an's first impression of her was that this young woman's facial features were deep in life, and the bridge of her nose was extremely high, with a kind of heroic spirit, which was unforgettable.

When they came over, they all wanted to salute Lin Yu'an, the princess of Jingnan, and Lin Yu'an also accepted it generously and let people give them a seat.

It was the first time for Xiao Qiao's family to see the palace, and it was also the first time to see a royal relative like the princess, and the previous handover was also handed over to Mother Xu.

Master Zhou served in the Ministry of War, and he was a six-rank Beijing official who was not too big or small, and he usually lived in his own one-acre and three-point land, and he had never seen such a person.

But thinking that this was my aunt and grandmother, I took two deep breaths and stabilized my mind.

Several young masters and young ladies have different expressions, and Zhou Ruhuan, the fourth lady of the Zhou family, saw her sister Zhou Zhiruo, and her mood relaxed suddenly, her eyes flowed on Zhou Zhiruo's body, and her expression was complicated, with envy, disdain, fear, and mixed tastes.

Lin Yu'an silently looked at everything in his eyes, and did not make a sound, as the fourth aunt of the Zhou family, Lin Zhicai saluted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then listened to his wife's introduction and saluted several sisters-in-law and uncles one by one.

The eyebrows and eyes of the five sons of the Zhou family are more similar to those of Master Zhou, and the demeanor naturally reveals the demeanor of a well-educated rich child, which is pleasing to the eye.

After admitting his relatives, Xiao Qiao's said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Now that you are married, you can't be the same as when you were at home, you must act with restraint, and you must do your best to serve your husband and sister." ”

Zhou Zhiruo nodded respectfully and saluted Xiao Qiao's blessing, Xiao Qiao's hummed, and Master Zhou said with some displeasure: "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we return to the door, it's not too early, just stay here, we should go back." ”

Xiao Qiao's score has not been laid out enough, he pursed his lips with a calm expression, and stood up with his husband, Master Zhou explained to Lin Yuan: "Because I only took half a day off, I have to rush back, and it won't be long before a few children stay to talk to their sister, which is lively." ”

Lin Yu'an was not interested, took the tea, and asked people to send Mr. Zhou and his wife out.

When Zhou Ruhuan saw that her mother was gone, she was a little restrained, turned her head to look at her brother and sister-in-law on the side, and saw that they all looked natural, and she was a little timid in her heart.

She simply walked up to Zhou Zhiruo and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you really look good with this hair, who combed my sister's hair?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at his brother-in-law Lin Zhicai, who was in the wind of Yushu on the side.

Lin Zhicai inherited the good genes of the Lin family, and he was born with outstanding appearance, handsome eyebrows, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and because he was a young man, he had a kind of heroic arrogance that his peers did not have.

Such a man is so rare, Zhou Ruhuan saw him looking down at his sister's tenderness and silence, and his heart was a little sour.

Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said to her, "Mother Wu helped me comb it." ”

Zhou Ruhuan said: "I have been in the Zhou family for so long, I didn't know that she had such a good means, and let her comb it for me one day." ”

turned out to be a child who was jealous, Lin Zhouzhiruo was not angry, she agreed with a smile, Lin Yu'an secretly shook her head, Zhou Ruhuan is fifteen years old, not a child anymore, it is time to marry at this age, she said such a thing, which made people listen to it, and thought that she wanted to be a concubine for Zhige'er!

Did Zhou Zhiruo really not notice anything wrong with Zhou Ruhuan's words at all?

Lin Yu'an looked at the two of them without a trace.

But I heard Zhou Ruhuan continue: "My sister's hairpin has a unique style, I think it's new, right?" ”

Lin Yu'an looked over, and Zhou Zhiruo also touched the red jade bead crested hairpin that Zhou Ruhuan said, her smile was a little stiff, obviously she understood what Zhou Ruhuan was going to say next.

Sure enough, I heard Zhou Ruhuan's face change without changing color: "Sister, this hairpin is really good-looking......"

"Since it's good-looking, let your fourth sister wear it for you often."

Zhou Ruhuan's words were not finished, Lin Yu'an put aside the tea cup and looked at her meaningfully, Zhou Ruhuan was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and stood with a stiff smile.

Zhou Zhiruo breathed a long sigh of relief, if she was in the Zhou family, she would not be able to keep this hairpin, and she would definitely give it to Zhou Ruhuan.

But this hairpin was given to her by her husband, she was reluctant, if it was something else, she would give it up, and she would not make such a stingy appearance, but Lin Yuan helped her talk to relieve the siege, which surprised her.

She glanced at Lin Yu'an gratefully, and Lin Zhicai saw that his wife was uncomfortable, so he said: "Since the seventh sister likes it, let your fourth sister tell you that Yinlou will send a few unique styles to the sisters of the Zhou family to choose." ”

He looked at his wife tenderly, Zhou Zhiruo's heart was already sour, she couldn't say that feeling, her heart was stuffed, she really felt like she was a member of this family.

The maintenance of her husband and the partiality of her sister, she has an unprecedented feeling.

But then again, how could the Zhou family really take the things sent by the Lin family's aunt, otherwise it would fall into other people's ears, wouldn't it be the Zhou family taking advantage of the Lin family, and this autumn breeze will not bring such a thing.

The fifth grandmother of the Zhou family smiled and gave her sister-in-law a round: "Leave her alone, she is such a heartless child, she likes it now, and she will forget it later, no wonder her mother-in-law wants to keep her for a few more days." ”

When she said this, she covered her mouth and smiled, and the young master on Friday glanced at his wife with relief, and then shouted Zhou Ruhuan with a little anger: "Huan'er, my mother said that you are not allowed to mess around today, so come over quickly!" ”

Zhou Ruhuan saw that the fifth brother's face sank, and he had always been most afraid of this cold-faced fifth brother, so he lowered his head and walked over.
