After saying goodbye, Jinfang personally sent Jinmei to the corner door, and stopped talking, and took her hand before leaving: "The second girl is too straight, and her words collide with you, so please take care of it, don't take it to heart." She has a good heart, and she has no intention of offending you. Mrs., please help cover it up. Jin Mei put her hand on the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "The second sister is affectionate and sexual, and she is innocent, I can't admire it yet, where will I hold a grudge?" Just ......"

Jin Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard these two words, she hurriedly raised her heart again: "Just what?" ”

Jin Mei smiled: "It's nothing, if my sister doesn't treat me as an outsider, I will have a few straight words to say to my sister." Jin Fangyin nodded: "You just have to say." ”

Jin Mei helped the bamboo next to him, and scratched the bamboo knot with his fingernails and said: "The second sister is dedicated to protecting my aunt and the eldest sister's heart, I can't respect it more." It's just that in the end, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and they always have to keep themselves safe and sound before they can protect others, right? Seeing that the eldest sister got married, I heard that the Liu family background is very good, and the eldest sister went over there to see her identity rise, if there is a chance, why not quickly find a good family for the second sister who really cares for her? ”

After hearing this, Jinfang was stunned for a while, and suddenly pulled Jinmei's hand and asked, "Good sister, what have you heard?" How do I not understand? ”

"Where does my sister want to go?" Jin Mei smiled, "I'm just saying a few nasty nonsense." These should not be said by me, if my sister cherishes my sister and me, then forget about it after listening to it, and don't talk to others. ”

At this point, he smiled, took Liucui, and said goodbye to Linglong Garden.

It was Jinfang who held on to the door frame and sent them away for a long time with a worried look.

That day, when she heard that the old lady was going to let Jin Yong go as soon as possible, Jin Meiyuan decided to remind the two sisters. It's just that I don't know what the use of reminding is that the eldest girl's family can't never marry for life, and she can't choose someone else to marry! I just heard the two of them talk about Jinfang's family affairs in private, so they temporarily said it, so it was also a matter of concern.

When I arrived at the foot of the bridge, I suddenly saw Yimei coming from a distance, and saw the two of them: "Girl, my wife is back, please come over." Jin Mei was surprised, so he changed his mind and went to the main room: "Didn't you go to Xue Mansion to listen to the play, and said that you would not come back until dinner?" Yi Mei said: "That's the case, I heard Sister Qiu Cheng say, and someone suddenly came to the palace and invited our eldest master to face the saint, and the wife resigned from Mrs. Xue and passed the counter." After a while, the old man left the palace, talked for a while, and then returned to the house. ”

Jin Mei listened all the way, and went all the way to the main room. Because the weather was so sunny, the curtain was open in the ear room, the eldest lady was sitting on the kang on the right, and Holly was on the side, holding a bowl of fragrant soup and handing it over.

The little girl ring standing under the porch said first, "The cousin girl is here", and let Jin Mei in first. The eldest lady raised her head and hummed, and drank two sips, then put down the bowl, pointed to the empty space beside her and asked Jinmei to sit down, her expression was relaxed, and she looked at her and said, "Have you gone to the eldest girl?" Jin Mei nodded: "The eldest sister asked me for a pattern, and because I lost it, I went to draw it with her." ”

The eldest lady nodded, smiled appreciatively, supported the kang table with her elbows, turned her face to look at the ground, and said, "The eldest girl has a good temperament, like her mother, she is an honest embryo." Every time I see her being affected by the second girl's troubles, I look pitiful. After a pause, he said to himself: "It's just that in terms of smart courage, the second girl is much stronger." It's a pity that I was born in the belly of the side room, if not, it would be Miss Jingui. If a person is reborn in the wrong place, no matter how strong his temperament is, no matter how delicate his body is, he will suffer enough. Do you say yes and no? ”

Jin Mei raised the corners of his lips slightly and lowered his head.

The eldest lady smiled again: "I went to Xue Mansion to listen to the play today, but I bumped into a joke. The eldest son of Master Xue was originally married, but he died not long after he passed the house, and there were many concubines in the room. There are many concubines, and it is inevitable that there will be many rights and wrongs, and Uncle Xue doesn't pay attention to them on weekdays. Today, I don't know where the interest came from, but I actually called all four or five aunts to listen to the play and sat in a circle. I took a closer look, there was still the daughter of Lin Shilang who was investigated for her crime in the past, thinking that the girl was a proud and noble lady back then, and now she splashed it on the spot in order to ask Uncle Xue to pour a glass of wine to drink! Uncle Xue immediately took her back to the room. Isn't it funny that this is still in front of my guests? ”

Jin Mei knew that this was the last sentence of Fang Cai, so he smiled without being salty or light, and kneaded the Luo yarn silk in his hand.

The eldest lady laughed and sighed, looked down at the soup cup in her hand, and said unhurriedly: "In the past, we only said that there were some irregularities in our house, but now that I have seen other people's mansions with my own eyes, I know that Uncle Xue's room is called an unorthodox person." is a good declining daughter, and after all, he is also a literate person, but he is also treated as an ordinary maidservant, but the young grandmother who died early has heard that she has an ordinary appearance. He doesn't know who will go in again to be his wife, and he doesn't have any powerful means, but I'm afraid he won't be able to control it. ”

At this point, the eldest lady seemed to have finished speaking, picked up the soup cup and drank it all. Finally, he handed it to Holly: "Go down and keep watch, and call you again." Holly retreated together with Liucui Yimei, and the maid-in-law who was called in the main room.

Jin Mei knew that she had something to say at this time, so she sat up straight and listened.

Sure enough, the eldest lady's face gradually became solemn, and she asked, "In the past two days, has your mother ever visited your father in prison?" ”

Jin Mei was silent, thought for a while, and replied: "The Tianzi Prison is heavily guarded, and the Holy Lord has issued a decree that no one is allowed to visit the prison. The mother sent a letter to say, although people went to inquire every once in a while, but still have not been able to enter. Now I can only go to the Criminal Department regularly to ask about the situation of daily residence, and nothing else can be. ”

The eldest lady's face was sad, and she propped up her forehead with her left hand, and said, "After all, I have to think of seeing each other in the next two days...... Do you know that the He Xue family has now become a family, originally I asked the Xue Mansion to return after dinner today, but the saint suddenly summoned your uncle to the palace to ask, what is the matter with you? It's because of your father. ”

When Jin Mei heard this, he immediately sat up straight.

The eldest lady took her hand and choked up: "After all, the Holy Lord cannot forgive your father for the crime of dereliction of duty and deceitful king, because of the holy decree, at the end of this month, he will be sent to the frontier...... Pity your father, a scribe, who has only known business for a long time, how can he ever suffer like this? Now that he is locked up in a prison, he will be sent to a place where he will not see the light of day...... This time, I don't know if there will be a day to meet! ”

Jinmei is like a thunderbolt from the sky: "Distribution?!" Isn't it already an edict of sin? Why don't you let us go! ”

"The prince's wedding, what a big deal! Don't say that it is the most important ceremony, that is, if there is something wrong in the ordinary corner, no matter how big or small the official position, you must also be questioned. What's more, we are not ministers with meritorious service to the country, even if we want to spare it, we can't spare it! The eldest lady also stood up, and spoke in a deep and fast manner. When the will to undertake the wedding dress was sent to your family, there were 1,000 taels of gold and 500 pearls from the Holy Lord, and 500 brocades of various colors from the Queen Mother and the Queen, and countless head jewelry. ”

Jinmei's chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he couldn't afford the consequences at all. Now it doesn't matter to her that the money is set and rewarded, the important thing is her father! How could she allow him to wander to the frontier and suffer from that inhuman slavery!

"Ma'am!" Suddenly, she lifted her skirt and knelt down towards the eldest lady, first kowtowed three times, and then raised her red and swollen forehead, and said with red eyes: "You are now the only relative and backer of the Ye family!" Daddy and your mother, Mei'er now has no other way but to beg your old man to save him! As long as he can keep him from going to that inhuman place, Mei'er will be a cow and a horse in this life to repay your kindness! ”

"Hurry up!" The eldest lady also cried, and reached out to pull her, but she couldn't. So he had no choice but to hold her shoulders and weep to himself: "You say I'm not in a hurry? You say I don't want to save it? I think my mother gave birth to me and his two siblings, we have never blushed since we were children, and we are concerned about each other in everything! I shed more tears than anyone else when something so big happened! It's just that it's inconvenient to be in the husband's house!

"Why do you say that I chant the Sutra day and night? It's not all about praying for your father! Your uncle and your brothers have said good things in front of the saint for your father, and the saint is impatient now, and many things have actually made the Xue family cheaper. Today, your uncle knelt down and begged again, and the Holy One actually blasted your uncle out! We don't complain about these, who let our two families rely on each other? But if I had the slightest idea, I wouldn't be able to sit here and cry now! At present, it is impossible to beg for mercy in front of the saint, and now the plan is to see if there is a chance to visit the prison, bring some money to your father, and take it with you on the road to defend yourself...... In this way, it is all you and me! ”

Jin Mei sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul, unable to speak again.

I thought that with the Ye family's prestige in the palace, things would eventually develop in a better direction, but I didn't want it to get worse and worse. What is the Holy One thinking? Why did you refuse to let them go after all this time? Could it be that he is really a companion like a tiger...... She really couldn't figure it out.

The eldest lady pulled her up and said, "I know that you are grieving in your heart, but there is nothing else to do at the moment. You and I have limited strength, it is better to wait here with peace of mind, when the son is benevolent today, maybe there will still be a day of snow in the future. Right now, I'll send someone to pick up your mother as soon as possible and discuss the way together. Don't be too anxious, your body is important after all. ”
