At the end of July, Liu mentioned to the old lady about Su Jinyan and Lu Li.

Liu said: "...... The daughter-in-law wanted to invite Mrs. Huang as a guest. ”

The Huang family is also a well-known Qing noble family in Yangzhou, and the old lady Huang just took up the post of waiter from the Ministry of Rites the year before last.

The old lady bowed, "That old guy from the Huang family is indeed a suitable candidate, the second grade's fate, Fu Lu Shuangquan, you can mention it to her another day." ”

Liu Shi responded, and said with a smile: "As for the praiser, originally Sister Xi was the most suitable candidate, but now Sister Xi is far away in the capital, and I am afraid that I have to choose one of the sisters." ”

"What's so hard about that!" The old lady thought about it, "I think it's very appropriate to let Sister Tong'er be the praiser!" "If Sister Tong can show her face in front of Old Madam Huang, it will not be bad for her family affairs in the future.

"Sister Tong is also good." How could the Liu family not know the old lady's plans, she smiled and said, "However, my daughter-in-law thinks that it is most suitable to let Sister Nian be the praiser, this child, I am calm and calm, and she just saved Yan'er's life a few months ago, I always feel that she is Yan'er's lucky star." ”

You've planned everything, and you're still asking me what I think? The old lady frowned, but she also felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was reasonable, and she always deliberately ignored the six girls before, so let her show her face this time, as for Sister Tong'er, as long as she is still there, there will be more opportunities in the future!

Thinking so, the old lady nodded, "Then Sister Nian will be the praiser!" ”

After the words fell, she glanced at Liu Shi with satisfaction, "You are planning for Sister Nian, you are much more attentive than her mother-in-law, I hope Sister Nian can miss you well in the future!" ”

In the eyes of the old lady, this eldest daughter-in-law has always been shrewd, and she only chooses what is most beneficial to herself.

Liu's suddenly felt uncomfortable being peeped into, and she sneered: "I'm her eldest aunt, I always have to think about her, not to mention that Sister Nian also saved Sister Yan'er's life!" ”

Since Jin Nian saved Su Jinyan, the Liu family has regarded Jin Nian as their own in their hearts, and always wants to pull her more!

When Jin Nian learned the news, she was stunned for a while before she reacted, and asked in disbelief: "The eldest aunt wants me to be the praiser of the second sister's ceremony?" ”

She is the youngest of the Jinzi generation in Sufu, but the Liu family wants her to be a praiser?

Jin Nian's surprised appearance pleased the Liu family, and she nodded with a smile, "The people who came to watch the ceremony that day were all the ladies of the various prefectures, as well as uncles and grandmothers, you have to behave well!" ”

It turned out that the eldest aunt chose her as the praiser because she had the intention of pulling her along!

Jin Nian was moved in his heart, "The eldest aunt is good to Jin Nian, and Jin Nian remembers it in my heart." She said, respectfully saluting the Liu.

Seeing Jin Nian like this, Liu Shi was even more satisfied with her decision, she reached out to help Jin Nian, and said repeatedly: "What a good boy!" ”

Soon arrived at Su Jinyan's ceremony.

Early in the morning, Jin Nian went to the Qianyue Xuan where Su Jinyan was, Su Jinyan had finished bathing, and at this moment, the maids were hurriedly changing her clothes and shoes.

Seeing Jin Nian come in, she sat up straight, smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked, "Sixth sister, do the clothes look good?" ”

"Beautiful!" Jin Nian nodded and looked at Su Jinyan, the pure color clothes she was wearing, although she still retained the beauty of a girl, but there were elegant skirts, deep clothes, and Zhai clothes on the desk, all of which were dignified and graceful.

As soon as the hour passed, Jin Nian accompanied Su Jinyan to Jinzhu Garden.

The ceremony was held in the four-sided hall on the east side of Jinzhu Garden, and there was still half an hour before the auspicious time, and the guests had already begun to sit down.

Among the people she knew, there were her uncle and grandmother, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang, and even more who she didn't know, and sat in several rows in unison.

When Lu Jingxian saw her looking over, she immediately smiled and beckoned to her.

Jin Nian's originally calm heart suddenly became a little nervous, this was the first time she appeared under the gaze of so many people, and her whole body collapsed tightly, afraid that she would accidentally do something wrong.

At three o'clock, Liu announced the opening of the ceremony.

Su Jinyan came out to salute the guests who watched the ceremony, Jinnian stepped forward to comb Su Jinyan's hair according to Yousi's prompts, her hand holding the comb trembled a little, fortunately, Yousi reminded her that she symbolically combed it and retreated.

When she retreated, Mrs. Zhengbin Huang stepped forward and chanted loudly: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Jiayuan is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

Because of this solemn eulogy, Jin Nian's heart gradually calmed down.

After Mrs. Huang finished adding the flute, she stepped forward symbolically to correct Su Jinyan, and after the guests congratulated Su Jinyan, she took the skirt and accompanied Su Jinyan to the room to change clothes.

In this way, three plus three prostrations, listening to the training, until the ceremony is completed, the whole prayer lasts for nearly two hours.

Seeing that Jin Nian was finally free, Lu Jingxian immediately stepped forward to hold her hand, and said with a bitter face: "This is the third time I've watched other people's salutes, if I hadn't thought that I hadn't seen you for a long time, I wouldn't have come!" ”

Isn't it Mrs. Lu who escorted her to attend the future sister-in-law's ceremony! Jin Nian didn't believe Lu Jingxian's words, she didn't poke it, and asked Lu Jingxian with a smile, "Do you want to go to my place to sit?" ”

Lu Jingxian was begging for it, and when she heard this, she immediately nodded happily, "Sister Ru was dragged by your sister to go shopping in the garden, and my mother accompanied Mrs. Huang to talk to your old lady, I don't even have anyone to talk to!" ”

She complained, and then said, "When did your sister get so close to Sister Ru?" The two of them are mysterious, and they don't know what they're talking about! ”

Jin Nian had been following Su Jinyan just now, and what Lu Jingxian didn't know, she couldn't even know: "Maybe it's my sister who got some precious flowers!" She remembered that Yang Ru seemed to like flowers and plants very much.

"Forget it, leave them alone!" Lu Jingxian was no longer entangled, her eyes rolled, and she thought of something fun again, "Do you go out to admire the moon in your house during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Can you bring me with you this year? It's been nearly a year since I came to Yangzhou from the capital, and I haven't seen it on the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges! ”

Because of the assassination of the eldest prince, the old lady has ordered to restrain the people in the palace, and I don't think they will be let out of the house during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

But seeing Lu Jingxian's expectant look, Jin Nian didn't say it too absolutely, "In previous years, I went out, but this year, I don't know how my grandmother will arrange it, otherwise, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you leave the house, I will give you a letter?" ”

"Jinnian, you're so nice!" Lu Jingxian said, grinning and holding Jin Nian's arm, "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was waiting for your news in the house!" ”

Jin Nian shook her head with a smile, Lu Jingxian's personality is really like a child who hasn't grown up!
