Chapter 51: The Invitation

As soon as Zhang Huilan entered the door, she had the idea of leaving quickly. There was already cigarette smoke in this room, and Song Yan was still insufficient, so she poured spoonfuls of spices into the incense burner.

"Sister, it's choking to put too much incense." This fragrant smell is really uncomfortable, Zhang Huilan subconsciously covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, wanting to tell Song Yan not to add more. But the other party seemed to be deaf, and Li didn't pay attention to her.

The mother-in-law guarding the door did not allow anyone other than Zhang Huilan to come in, this room was dark and claustrophobic, and Zhang Huilan couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"It's hard for my sister-in-law to come to see me." Song Yan almost poured half a box of incense powder into it, and she sat back on the embroidery stool. Although the Lin family let people detain her, they didn't shorten her food and clothing. Although Song Yan's complexion looks a little sluggish, her body has not been reduced, and her nails are getting longer and longer, but they are a little yellow, and there is no such clear feeling of green onions.

Zhang Huilan felt a little disgusted when she saw it, so she looked away.

"Why is my sister so polite, it should be." In fact, to be honest, Zhang Huilan didn't want to come to see her, but she was afraid of Song Jian and had to take care of one or two.

After Song Jian learned that Song Yan was detained and promised to the Qian family in Shandong, he was unexpectedly calm, but he just sent a letter asking Zhang Huilan to take care of him, and did not say anything else.

There is a good thing about marrying Song Jian, that is, he is away all the year round, and the Lin family is a housemother who is not very careful, in the days when Song Jian is not there, Zhang Huilan is a person who can be at ease.

If it is serious, Zhang Huilan would rather get along with Song Zhi a lot, at least it is not so difficult to speak, and she has to coax her sister-in-law everywhere.

'It's fine. Zhang Huilan thought a little lucky, "Song Yan is going to marry far away." In the future, I will add another child, give Song Jian a few concubines, and guard the child by myself. ”

"It seems to be very lively outside these days, and the mother-in-law guarding the door has added a soup dumpling snack, what happened?" Song Yan was playing with a jadeite gold-filled ring and asked casually.

"Oh, I just found out a few days ago, and Le Xiangzhai's one has been pregnant for more than three months." As soon as Zhang Huilan said this, she regretted it a little. Although she didn't know what Song Yan had committed to being detained in Lengqiu Courtyard until she got married.

But this 'poisons the mother-in-law and mutilates the siblings.' Zhang Huilan is still clear about the benefits and disadvantages of the eight words.

Her fifth sister was just a little more angry, and after suing her father a few times, her aunt was directly sent to Zhuangzi and detained under the palm of her mother-in-law, who wanted her to live and die if she died. Even if the fifth sister is married now, she will still be willing to return to her parents' house.

The ring in Song Yan's hand fell, slamming on the floor with a crisp sound, dripping and spinning, making a creepy scratching sound.

When Zhang Huilan heard this, goosebumps were dense from her arms to her neck, and she bent down to pick up the ring and put it back on the table.

"She actually has the good fortune of this old clam and pearl." Song Yan said faintly, Zhang Huilan didn't look at her, but leaned over to look at the door, for fear that Song Yan's ridicule would be heard by the mother-in-law at the door.

Her cautious appearance made Song Yan's heart angry, but these days, she could only rely on Zhang Huilan to find out the news outside, so she couldn't offend her for a while, so she swallowed this anger alive, and her internal organs burned.

"Sister, don't say anything like that." Zhang Huilan wanted to persuade a few words, but when she saw that Song Yan's expression was not good-looking, she obediently shut up.

"You don't need to be so frightened, my brother will never let me marry a merchant who sells salt in Shandong so casually." Song Yan said firmly.

Zhang Huilan didn't answer, she actually felt that the family chosen by the Lin family was very good, except for marrying far away, there was nothing wrong with anything else, asking for money and money, and power, the Lin family can really be said to be very kind.

"However, the military affairs in the west are busy, and he may not be able to come back in time to help his sister." Zhang Huilan's eyes didn't dare to fall on Song Yan's face, so she could only stare at the lipstick on the edge of the teacup. Obviously she was detained, but Song Yan was still in the mood to lipstick, but she really couldn't understand her.

"Can that sister-in-law help me?" Song Yan suddenly held Zhang Huilan's hand, Zhang Huilan was startled, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.

"What does my sister want to do? Think again! "Zhang Huilan is very scared, Song Yan is bolder than the sky, but she wants to live a good life!

"Sister-in-law is so timid, my brother will split up in the future, how will you be the housewife of the family!?" Song Yan said disdainfully.

Zhang Huilan lowered her eyes, not daring to refute.

"I miss Xuan'er, you go and bring it to me." Song Yan's words changed, which made Zhang Huilan a little embarrassed.

It stands to reason that she is her aunt, and it is natural to see her nephew, but in her current situation, Zhang Huilan really didn't dare to hug Song Yuanxuan over.

……

"See Xuan'er?" When the Lin family heard Song Yan's name, they felt a little unhappy. "What are you doing when you see Xuan'er?"

Song Zhi was holding the tongs to pinching the pecans for Lin's, and she was clever enough to avoid crushing the flesh. Therefore, the flesh she peeled out was all whole.

She grabbed a handful of peeled pecans and put them in the small dish in front of Lin, "Mother, don't worry about these trivial matters." ”

She turned her head to Zhang Huilan and said, "If my sister wants to see her, let her see it." You should also take the nurse with you, lest your sister live in seclusion for a long time, and her mind is treacherous and unpredictable, and suddenly something happens to her, and it is not good. ”

The meaning of these words almost didn't directly say that Song Yan was a madman. Zhang Huilan didn't know if she heard it, but nodded respectfully and withdrew.

As soon as Zhang Huilan went out, she walked in month by month and handed a post to Song Zhi.

"What is this?" Song Zhi took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, picked up the post and looked at it, and said to the Lin family: "It's the post of the princess's mansion." ”

Lin Shi immediately showed a look of displeasure, "What does she want!?" ”

"Mother, don't worry, this is said that the princess's mansion held a banquet and invited many famous ladies to go with me, not just me." Song Zhi looked at the words with thin flashes on the post, and saw that it was written with gold dust in ink, such a luxurious style is no longer popular in this dynasty. Song Zhi had only seen such a method in books, but today it was the first time he had seen it.

"Are you going or not?" The Lin family was reluctant to go to Song Zhi in his heart, but he offended the eldest princess, and he didn't know what kind of turmoil she would have.

Song Zhi pondered for a moment, "Month by month, you ask people to go to Jiang's Mansion and Zeng's Mansion to make a trip, and ask Miss Jiang and Miss Zeng if they have received the post, and if so, ask them if they are going?" ”

"Yes."

As soon as he heard Song Zhi mention Zeng Yunyi, Lin's mind became lively again, and said, "I thought your brother was a woodman, and he would also make girls happy." Mrs. Xie told me that he borrowed your horse a few days before he left and took Miss Zeng to go on a trip. He hid it so well, I didn't even know it. ”

Song Zhi hooked his lips and only smiled silently. Lin looked at her reserved appearance and said with a smile: "I forgot, your horse was still given to you by Jingyu!" ”

has children and daughters, after joking about this and that, Lin is in a good mood. Lin's nostalgia this time is very different, except for loving to sleep in the first three months, there is nothing else uncomfortable. In the following days, he became more and more gluttonous.

Mrs. Lin knew about this, and called another mother Wu, who was a first-class eater, to come over, and she changed her tricks to get food for the Lin family every day, and even took Song Zhi to enjoy the blessings.

The little maid who was sent to ask questions month by month was still fast, and she replied to her about a stick of incense, and the young ladies of the two families were almost the same, and they both felt that since they invited the famous ladies in the city, they would follow suit. There is no need to offend a favored princess in these little things.

When they came back and forth month by month, Song Zhi and Lin were eating Wu's mother's newly made mint cake, which was cool and sweet. Hearing what Zhu Yue said, Lin nodded, and allowed Song Zhi to go.

"Actually, regardless of the eldest princess's style of acting for the time being, it is really good to Jing Yu." Lin spoke, with a feeling that he wanted to tell a story. "Jing Yu's food and clothing when she was young, she was more concerned than the Cui family, and what the emperor gave her, she sent to Jing Yu Mansion as soon as she turned a corner. If it weren't for the fact that the daughter of her eldest son with the protector was two years older than Jingyu, and the zodiac was mutually restrictive, I think she would definitely have the idea of getting married. ”

"In the end, it's my aunt, so it's naturally different from others." Song Zhi used chopsticks to skim off the red and green silk on the fragrant cake, and then used chopsticks to divide it into small pieces and send the fragrant cake to his mouth.

"Actually, it's not a relative." Lin whispered quickly in Song Zhi's ear, and Song Zhi looked up at her in surprise, only to see her winking playfully with a cunning expression.

"Really? So why do you say it's a relative? Song Zhi asked curiously.

"The eldest princess's mother is a maid beside the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is a small love, in the early years, the protector had a very good relationship with the Queen Mother, and later received the Dragon Grace by mistake. It's just that the luck is not good, and when the princess is growing, she is meeting the weak queen mother, and she is not carefully taken care of. She desperately gave birth to the child and went by herself. The queen mother took pity on her, so she raised the eldest princess under her own name. ”

'No wonder. Song Zhi thought to himself, "This matter is not a royal secret, those powerful families know it." The eldest princess is not from a high background, even if she is quite valued by the emperor, she still lacks three points of respect. ’

"You can't talk nonsense about this outside!" Lin instructed.

"Got it. Does my daughter look like such a stupid person? Song Zhi wrinkled his nose and made an unhappy look, making Lin laugh.
