Chapter 022: Visit
The Xu family on the side didn't think much about it, since the fourth master invited her back, she was even more difficult to say as an inner house woman, so she asked casually: "When will the second master pass?" ”
The four-bedroom Yusheng Ju is adjacent to the two-bedroom Yuwu Garden, which can be reached within half an hour's walk.
"There's no hurry." Su Youlin held the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.
Seeing this scene, Jin Nian realized that the second uncle had something to say to the second aunt, so she quickly got up and said goodbye.
Su Jinxiu sent her out and looked at her with a strange expression: "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking!" ”
Where does this begin? Jin Nian is embarrassed, and the right talent is just what she feels for a while, if in the past, she would not be able to say such a thing, Mama Lin often said that she was clumsy!
As for the second uncle's illness, she was thinking about how to wake up Su Jinxiu, when she heard Su Jinxiu sigh: "My father has often gone out early and returned late recently, and he has contracted a cold and cough that has not improved. ”
If you are really sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow!
Jin Nian breathed a sigh of relief, followed Su Jinxiu's words, and asked, "Have you invited a doctor to take a look?" ”
Su Jinxiu nodded: "Doctor Lin, I'm taking medicine now!" ”
Now that she has invited a doctor, Jinnian didn't say anything, she told Su Jinxiu: "If Dr. Lin's medicine still has no effect, the second sister must invite a new doctor to try, many stubborn diseases are accumulated due to minor diseases." ”
Back then, her mother was also plagued by a minor illness, and she left their siblings behind after two years.
Thinking of this, Jin Nian felt inexplicably melancholy, and suddenly missed her mother very much.
She quit Su Jinxiu, stepped on the bluestone slab, and walked back slowly.
When passing by the four-room Yusheng Residence, she heard the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra coming from inside, and the aftermath lingered, but it added a little sadness to her heart.
It wasn't until the evening that Jin Nian's depressed mood improved, and she sent Du Juan to the office in the outer courtyard to inquire about who the fourth uncle had invited today.
If there is no accident, my father will be transferred back to Yangzhou next year, and the Yangzhou salt case will happen the year after tomorrow, and my father will be implicated and imprisoned......
I don't know if I'll be able to detect some suspicions from now on?!
The cuckoo was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much and went away.
It wasn't until late that Du Juan replied, and she pretended to be excited: "I invited Governor Yang and a few colleagues, but there is a special person, Miss, guess who it is?" ”
Even the maid next to her saw that she was in a bad mood, thinking of a way to tease her to talk, Jin Nian smiled bitterly, and cooperated with Du Juan to guess a few people: "But Lord Liang?" ”
The cuckoo shook his head with a smile, how could Lord Liang's raunchy and sloppy appearance get into the eyes of the fourth master?
"That's Lord Lu, the salt envoy! Or maybe it's the head of Guangling Academy. ”
The fourth uncle has always boasted of being elegant and disdainful of dealing with Bai Ding, except for these who have gained fame, Jin Nian really can't think of other talented people.
Looking at his young lady's pretending to be contemplative, Du Juan no longer sold Guanzi: "It's Gu Sigongzi." ”
It was Gu Yanyi!
Jin Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he always felt that this banquet was really a little strange. If it was just a vassal and elegant banquet, he would not invite the second uncle to accompany him, if it was an officialdom entertainment, why should he invite Gu Yanyi, who is still white?
Hiding her worries, she went to the study.
A few days after the banquet of the fourth master, Mrs. Yang brought Yang Ru and Lu Jingxian to Su Mansion as guests.
Liu sent the big girl and magpie next to her to Jinghua Xiaozhu, and when she saw Su Jinnian, she respectfully saluted before explaining her intention: "The eldest lady invites Miss Six to come over and take Miss Yang and Miss Lu to walk around the house." ”
Which Miss Lu? Jin Nian was puzzled, and was about to ask a question, when he heard the magpie smile and said, "It's Miss Lu from Lu Yanyun's family." ”
That girl who loves to read books!
Jin Nian was surprised and responded with a smile.
When the magpie came out of the mirror, the cuckoo exclaimed excitedly: "Miss, does the eldest lady look at you differently?" "This is the first time to take the initiative to ask my own lady to entertain guests!
Looking at the cuckoo whose little face was a little red from excitement, Su Jinnian smiled lightly, she wanted much more than this, and it was only a small step at the moment, so there was nothing to be happy about.
Xu knew that her young lady had a secret that she didn't want people to know, compared with the cuckoo, Yingge seemed much calmer, and she smiled and prepared clothes for Su Jinnian: "Miss wear this couplet-colored skirt." "The young lady has pale skin, has just recovered from a serious illness, and her load-colored clothes make her much more energetic.
Jin Nian didn't know that Yingge had to consider a lot of clothes to choose, she nodded, sat in front of the copper ytterbium and asked Yingge to comb a hanging hair for her, and wear beaded flowers, and then went to the eldest lady's Jinzhu Garden.
Seeing her coming, Mrs. Yang's eyes flashed with amazement, and she praised from the bottom of her heart: "Miss Sixth is really a rare beauty, and I don't know who has this blessing." ”
The eldest lady also quipped: "Seeing our family Jinnian, I regret that your brother is engaged early!" ”
When the two of them said this, Su Jinnian blushed, and he didn't know how to answer.
She secretly glanced behind Mrs. Yang, and saw two girls standing behind her, the older one was Yang Ru, and the smaller one Xu was Miss Lu's family?
Seeing that the little girl's family was embarrassed, Mrs. Yang didn't joke anymore, she reached out and pulled the little girl standing behind her, and said with a smile: "This is the daughter of Mrs. Lu's family, called Jingxian." ”
This time, Jin Nian looked at Lu Jingxian brightly, a very smart little girl, looking at her age, her long eyelashes were slightly curled, and her big black and white eyes flashed and flashed, which was very cute.
Seeing that Jin Nian was looking at her, Lu Jingxian showed a sweet smile to her, and said happily: "I guess you must be younger than me, you have to call me Sister Lu!."
This appearance really has nothing to do with demure!
Jin Nian also smiled and called her Sister Lu.
"Hey, that's right." Lu Jingxian nodded with satisfaction, broke away from Mrs. Yang's hand and walked to her side, "The first time we met, I was older than you, and I should give you a meeting gift." ”
As she spoke, she took off the pearl on her wrist and stuffed it into Jinnian's hand.
Jin Nian was surprised, the style of loving to give greeting gifts is really exactly the same as Mrs. Lu, is this the so-called family heirloom?
Taking a meeting gift from a girl of the same age as herself, Jin Nian was really a little embarrassed, and she didn't want to save Lu Jingxian's face, so she had to look at the Liu family as if she was helping, but the Liu family just smiled at the two of them.
As a last resort, Jin Nian had to accept Lu Jingxian's kindness with a smile.
It just so happened that Su Jintong and Su Jinxiu were here, so Liu asked their sisters to accompany the guests to walk in the garden, and he and Mrs. Yang stayed in the room to talk.
