The face on the painting was slightly longer, Yingge looked left and right, and his little face was wrinkled into a piece, so he said uncertainly: "This... The slave and maid were not sure, and they looked like it but not like it. ”

Is that like or not? Su Jinnian stroked his forehead, and finally decided to find a time to see each other in person.

It happened that the cuckoo was ready for the meal, the jade shrimp were served in a white porcelain dish with gold edge, and the bean kernels were emerald green and the shrimp balls were pink, red and green with bright colors, and Su Jinnian's depressed heart was relieved a lot.

She took a deep breath and waved her hand to let the cuckoo and the warbler go down, and then she moved, and ate without a bite.

Here, Yingge was also very depressed, things were not done, and she felt that she was entrusted by Miss Negative, so she sighed a little when she got out of the room.

"Hey, what's wrong?" The cuckoo tugged at the corner of her coat behind her and looked at her with a worried expression.

Yingge shook her head: "It's okay." ”

Does that dejected look like it's fine? The cuckoo glanced at Yingge: "You just use this to lie to Mama Lin, can't even I say anything?" ”

"Don't ask." Without Miss's consent, she couldn't tell anyone about these things, including her mother, Mama Lin.

Sure enough, something! Du Juan persevered: "You followed Miss to the second Miss just now, but what happened over there?!" ”

It's none of Miss Er's business! Yingge thought about it, and still said, "Miss is worried about what to give to the eldest young master." ”

The young lady didn't seem to be familiar with the eldest young master, so Du Juan casually asked, "Why do you want to give a gift to the eldest young master?" ”

Looking at the cuckoo frame, he is going to break the casserole and ask to the end! Yingge replied a little angrily: "Miss's matter, should we ask?" ”

"Okay!" The cuckoo was a little aggrieved, but he didn't ask any more, Yingge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two went back to the lower room where they sat down.

The next day, Mr. Ling took a break.

The sky was a little gloomy, and after Jin Nian asked the old lady to say goodbye, he thought that there was no progress in the search for people, so in the name of sending an incense, he went to the two-room Yuwuyuan and the four-room Yusheng Residence.

None of the results were as she had hoped, and she did not see the murderer among the servants of the right age.

However, when she was in Wuyuan, the second lady Xu warmly invited her to have lunch together: "Sister Nian rarely comes to the second aunt's place, and today it happens that Jinxiu is also there, and the third brother and sister are not in the house, so they will stay and have lunch with us." ”

Xu is a typical Jiangnan woman, medium height, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a soft voice, which is easy to make people feel good.

Somehow, looking at Xu's family, Jin Nian remembered her mother, she didn't make too many excuses, and responded with a smile: "Then I'll bother the second aunt." ”

During the meal, Xu personally put a lot of dishes in her bowl, Jin Nian was flattered, except for the family banquet, she had never eaten at the same table with this second aunt, and she didn't know that Xu liked to give the junior cloth vegetables, which made Su Jinxiu look at her sadly on the side, as if Jin Nian had robbed her mother.

Because of this little episode, Jinnian's depressed mood was soothed a lot.

When drinking tea after dinner, Xu sighed: "Auntie is not angry, she failed to add a brother to Sister Xiu'er, and Sister Nian will come often in the future." ”

Jin Nian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it turned out that Xu's left her to eat, because she had such a thought.

The Xu family only has one biological child of Su Jinxiu, and the second young master Su Zihui is a concubine, who was raised under her name when he was older, and he doesn't seem to be close on weekdays.

She sighed silently in her heart, remembering that in her previous life, her mother also worried a lot about her.

She responded with a smile obediently: "I'm afraid that if I come often, I will please the second sister." She already likes Su Jinxiu's hearty temperament, even if there is no Xu family, she will get close to Su Jinxiu.

When Su Jinxiu heard this, she knew that Jinnian meant to pick up vegetables, and she was a little embarrassed to chase Jinnian.

Jin Nian smiled narrowly and avoided it.

Xu Shi looked at his daughter helplessly and shook his head, but his eyes were full of doting.

While the cousins were talking and laughing, a tall figure came in.

Su Jinnian raised his head, and the person who came was the second master, Su Youlin. He was wearing a gray robe, his face was a little thin, and he was slightly surprised to see that there was an extra girl half the size in the room.

Jin Nian was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Second uncle is well." ”

Su Youlin said "um", squinted slightly, and said, "It's Sister Nian who is here." ”

The voice was hoarse, and Jin Nian carefully looked at his face, which was a little pale in addition to being thin. She remembered that in her previous life, the second uncle went to Beijing to seek medical treatment because of his poor health, and his condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and by the year she was strangled to death, the second uncle was still alive, but he was already sick all day long.

Jin Nian sighed secretly, she still couldn't bear it in the end, she said softly: "Listening to the second uncle's hoarse voice, but he is not feeling well, although it is spring, it is still cold in the morning and evening, and the second uncle often works hard outside, if you are unwell, please ask for medical medicine in time, so as not to worry about the second aunt and the second sister." ”

After saying this for a long time, Jin Nian felt a little weak and awkward in her heart, when did she say such a long and considerate word?

Standing beside her, Su Jinxiu looked at her with wide eyes and a hellish expression.

The second lady was also surprised, she didn't expect that this niece would say such ambiguous words, she was younger than her own daughters, and she was not close to their second room in the past.

As a big man, Su Youlin was a little moved: "Sister Nian has a heart." ”

His face was calm, his voice was still hoarse, but there was a slight fluctuation in his heart. Since he got married at the age of eighteen, he has taken over the management of the general affairs in the Su Mansion, the grange of Yiling and Shao Bo in Jiangdu, the dyeing workshops in the Gaoyou area, and the silk and satin villages all over the Great Zhou. Over the years, the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother have all earned funds in the ups and downs of the sea, but few people have told him about his hard work and told him to take care of his health.

It seems that everyone has gotten used to it, and the second master of Yangzhou Sufu is a powerful character.

I never thought that these thoughtful words would come out of the mouth of my half-grown little niece!

He curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, glanced at the niece of the third room lightly, and asked softly, "But I disturbed you talking?" ”

"Nothing." Jinnian is embarrassed, she is messing with Su Jinxiu, this is not the behavior that everyone should have, where do you dare to say that the second uncle disturbed them?

Su Youlin smiled, "It's good if you don't have it." With that, he sat straight at his desk.

Xu Shi hurriedly instructed the maid to serve him tea, and asked softly, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

The second master frowned: "The fourth brother is having a banquet in the mansion, and I heard that Governor Yang's mansion is also here, so he asked me to come back early to say hello." ”

Jin Nian was puzzled, the fourth uncle was just a judge of the ninth grade, and the prefect of Yang, who was the fourth rank of the official rank, deigned to go to the banquet?

Although the Su family of Yangzhou is a family, but the Yang Governor's Mansion respects it on weekdays, and it is not so condescending to the ordinary banquet that it is also degraded and degraded, is it because he wants to marry the eldest uncle through the fourth uncle?
