The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Jin Nian put down the teapot in his hand.

It's time to show weakness, this can't be difficult for her, she was already weak in her previous life.

Jin Nian lowered his head and began to work hard to brew feelings.

After a while, he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "The fifth sister said this to make my sister sad, so I naturally prepared a better one for my grandmother." ”

The old lady looked at Jin Nian and saw that there were tears in her eyes.

Although he didn't like it, his heart softened a little in the end, so he asked, "Six girls, how can you say this?" ”

Jin Nian sobbed lightly twice before he collected his tears, and said in a low voice: "Every year in February, the second dragon raises its head, and Master Huineng of the Kongxiang Temple in Huai'an Mansion will have Guanyin jade pendant, which was opened by him personally, and before my mother left, I told my mother to ask for a piece for my grandmother." ”

She expected that Su Jintong would not give up easily, and after waking up, she sent Mama Lin to send a letter to Huai'an, just for this matter.

The old lady sighed when she heard this: "How can Master Huineng's jade pendant be easy to ask for, even if the two quasi-political envoys don't have their turn, how can it be your mother's turn!" ”

Jin Nian didn't know that there was another reason, she shook her head and said suspiciously: "My grandfather and Master Huineng have been friends for decades, and it is not difficult to think about it. ”

With a "poof", the old lady suddenly stood up, her voice trembling and said, "Sixth girl, what you said is true?" ”

Jin Nian was taken aback and hurried to be.

She knew that the old lady believed in Buddhism, but she didn't expect that the old lady would be so excited when she mentioned that it was Master Huineng who opened the light.

As soon as the old lady was happy, she didn't notice Su Jintong's ugly face, "The six girls have done a good job, as for the gourd tourmaline, keep it for your mother, five girls, grandmother will find you again in the future." ”

When the dust settled, Su Jintong glanced at Su Jinnian fiercely, his eyes were full of unwillingness and warning!

In this regard, Jin Nian turned a deaf ear, and she smiled at Su Jintong with apology on her face, which attracted Su Jintong's eyes.

Jin Nian sneered in his heart, this is just the beginning, and I am afraid that there will be no less time when the two of them will fight each other in the future.

After a while, the eldest lady Liu came with the two young ladies of the big house, Su Jinyan and Su Jinxin saw that Su Jinnian was also there, so the two came over to ask about her body, and Jinnian answered them one by one.

Then the second lady Xu took Su Jinxiu, the fourth lady Cui took the second son Xuan Ge'er, everyone gathered in Ronghua Hall to greet the old lady, and for a while, Ronghua Hall became lively.

Jin Nian retreated to the corner, quietly listening to everyone's laughter, and it didn't take long for her to feel a gaze looking at her from time to time, she looked back, but saw Su Jinru smiling apologetically at her.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled back.

Unexpectedly, Su Jinxiu turned her head and looked away.

Here, the eldest lady Liu talked about the eldest young master in this year's spring: "I'm ready to go down, and I don't know how well I am preparing for the exam, and I don't have an adult to mention it, so I'm always not at ease." ”

The eldest young master, Su Ziang, is the son of the Liu family and the eldest grandson of Su Mansion, eighteen years old this year, and is a famous young man in Yangzhou Mansion last year.

Jin Nian remembered that this Ke Su Ziang did not have the title of the gold list, he was a second-class jinshi in the thirty-second year of Yonghe.

She remembered clearly, it was because the thirty-second year Tanhualang of Yonghe was Gu Yanyi, and the rumor was her cousin Xie Qian.

The old lady glanced at the Liu family lightly, and said with some displeasure: "What's not to worry about, he is living in the Gu University Scholar's Mansion, Gu Yanyi didn't end up this year, and Brother Ang just happened to be able to get Gu University's guidance from Shi Wen." ”

Su Mansion has several very close relatives in the capital, the one that is far away is the old lady's maiden home Ningfu, and the most recent one is the Ningyuan Houfu where the eldest lady Su Jinxi married.

However, Su Gu and the two mansions have been in close contact since Mrs. Su, and taking into account the fact that the university scholar has entered the cabinet, and has unique insights in current politics, the old lady thought that the building near the water would get the moon first, so she let Su Ziang live in the Gu Mansion.

The Liu family understands these truths, but being subdued by the old lady in front of so many juniors, after all, he said a little stupidly: "What my mother said is that I am too worried." ”

The old lady hummed lukewarmly, and said: "The fourth brother of the Gu family has just come to Yangzhou, and he is not familiar with the place, and Brother Ang is not here, so you can send people to take more care of him on weekdays." ”

The fourth brother of the Gu family refers to Gu Yanyi.

Suddenly hearing the old lady's advance, Jin Nian's heart jumped suddenly, and then he remembered that from this year, Gu Yanyi would study at Guangling Academy in Yangzhou until next year.

quietly raised her eyes to look at Su Jintong, but saw her eyes shining.

In her previous life, Su Jintong fell in love with Gu Yanyi and asked her to withdraw from the marriage, but the decree of marriage has been issued, where is it so easy to withdraw?

Pressing the waves in his heart, Jin Nian continued to listen to the conversation between the two expressionlessly.

Liu Shi responded, and asked about going to the temple to offer incense on the eighth day of the second lunar month: "Mother, in a few days, Ang'er will be over, and the daughter-in-law wants to go to the incense to pray for him, do you think you should go to Wenchang Pavilion or Guanyin Mountain?" ”

After Liu finished speaking, she glanced at the old lady with a little weakness, she knew that the old lady believed in Buddhism, but she heard that Wen Changjun was the patron saint of the imperial examination, and most of the family members of Yangzhou Mansion worshiped Wen Changjun, thinking about her son's future, so she also had this idea.

Sure enough, the old lady frowned slightly when she heard this, and then she became cold: "Don't bother with anything, the second master is sincere, our family has always worshiped the Bodhisattva, so naturally we still go to Guanyin Mountain to ask for Manjushri Bodhisattva." ”

Liu was a little disappointed and a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't refute the old lady's words, so he stood aside silently and didn't speak.

The room suddenly became a little depressed, the fourth lady Cui's eyes flashed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she still walked out, and said with a smile: "I think it's also spring, so it's better to let the young ladies in the family go with them, and pray for the eldest young master." ”

Before the old lady squeaked, no one dared to answer.

The fourth lady was not embarrassed, she naturally squatted down and gently beat the old lady's knees, and said softly: "Mother, you will send a bodhisattva heart to the young ladies, they have been locked up for a whole winter!" As she spoke, she raised her head and looked around, "Second sister-in-law, Jintong, you said yes?" ”

The fourth lady Cui is the little daughter-in-law, among the four sons, the old lady loves the youngest son the most, loves Wu and Wu, plus Cui is the daughter of the old lady's handkerchief, and gave birth to two sons, the old lady has more love for the fourth daughter-in-law, and it is always easy for Cui to be coquettish in front of the old lady.

When the second lady Xu heard Cui mention her, she smiled softly and said, "I listen to my mother's arrangement." ”

Su Jintong lay on the old lady's knee, shook the old lady's hand, and stared at the old lady without blinking.

Seeing Su Jintong's pitiful appearance, the old lady's heart immediately softened, and she sighed and said: "Look at you one by one, I don't know how harsh I am, okay, the ladies and young masters in the eighth mansion in the first month of February will all go together, the second and fourth are busy, so let's get rid of it!" ”

The old lady has four biological sons, and only the second and fourth masters stay by her side to fulfill their filial piety.

The eldest lord Su Youlin is currently the political envoy of Hu Guangbu in Jingzhou, the second lord Su Yousong has no achievements in the industry, so he stays in Yangzhou to manage the affairs of the government, the third lord Su Youhua is in Huai'an Tongzhi, and the fourth lord Su Youbai donated a general sentence in the Yangzhou Mansion.

After the old lady finished speaking, she doted on Su Jintong's forehead again: "Now you are satisfied!" He turned his head and said to Liu: "Yuan Tian, you have to arrange it!" ”

Yuan Tian is Liu's nickname, and seeing that the old lady is no longer angry, she hurriedly responded.

After talking for a while, when the old lady went to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures, everyone dispersed.
