Only then did the two of them fall silent, and then they got off the ground and hurried to the door.

"My cousin is here? Where did the maids go, and why was no one to report it? ”

Jinfang looked at Jinmei in a panic, and counted the yellow warblers on one side. Jin Mei hurriedly said: "She was going to pass it on, but I stopped her, I wanted to tease you, but then I saw that the peach tree under the corridor had sprouted, so I went to take a look twice before coming." ”

Sister Jinfang looked at each other and said busily: "I see, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Inside the door, the Jinfang sisters were already standing side by side at the door, their faces unnatural. In the end, Jinfang is the eldest sister, she is usually calm, and at this time, she hurriedly called someone to hand over melons and fruits, and ordered someone to make a good frozen top. Here, Jin Yong had also come back to her senses, lifted the curtain, stood across the door, and scolded the maids: "Although the cousin girl spoke for you, she shouldn't have done it after all." If you have wronged the girl in the cold weather, you can feel good in front of your wife! ”

The mother-in-law was busy with the loss of whether it was scattered, and the tea was poured for a while, and the fruit was poured on the fruit, which also diluted the atmosphere of the party.

Jinfang let Jinmei sit on the edge of the kang, and took a swipe to pick up the loose sideburns. Jin Mei picked up the unfinished mandarin pillow on the kang table, looked at it carefully, and praised it sincerely: "My sister's handsome embroiderer is really worthy of the eldest lady who has been embroidered since childhood. ”

When Jinfang heard this, she turned around and smiled, but she didn't say anything. As soon as Jin Yong came in from outside the door, her face flickered, and when she heard this, she sat down next to Jinmei, and also looked at the pillow and said: "What's handsome or not, it's just a pastime for the sisters." When it comes to needlework, among our two houses, Sister Nuo is the most countdown. I heard that the clothes are being divided in each room today, and the girl Mei is not trying it out in the house, how can she have time to come? ”

Jin Mei replied with a smile: "I also watched it for a long time, but looking at that color, I feel that it is still early for this season, so I will do it later." But I remembered that day I promised my eldest sister to come to describe the magnolia branches on the silk, and I searched for a long time, but unfortunately, the silk didn't know where it fell, and I couldn't find it. So I'll come over by myself, and I'll draw a picture now. ”

When Jinfang heard this, she hurriedly came over: "What's the big deal, I'm sorry that you came in person." He also ordered Huang Ying to take a pen and paper and wait beside him. Jin Mei looked at it, thought for a moment and then put pen to paper. still gossip with them: "The eldest sister's wedding is coming, and I don't know if the wedding clothes have been prepared?" If there's anything you need my help with, just say it. My sister's embroidery is not as good as my sister's, cutting and cutting, painting patterns, but it is barely possible. ”

Jin Fangyin excused himself and said: "You are not in good health, if you don't dislike it, come and walk around more, it's good to talk to each other, how dare you bother to do it." ”

"Big sister said this," Jin Mei raised his head and smiled: "Although I am weak and sickly, somehow, since I hit Hefu, it seems that I have changed my body and bones, and it is not as useless as before." Besides, you are the daughter of the eldest lady, and I am the niece of the eldest lady, and they are good sisters who are even more different from the three girls and the four girls, how can they be separated from each other? If my wife knew, I was afraid that I would be blamed for deliberately having sex with my sisters. ”

Jin Fang was silent for a moment, and looked at Jin Yong, who was silent.

"If my sister said that, where would we dare to say anything? Naturally, I see you as a good sister. ”

After saying a word, he was silent again.

Jin Mei looked up but smiled. No one in the room spoke, and Jinfang sat down next to the pillow, thoughtfully fiddling with the corner of the pillow in her hand. Jin Yong also continued to embroider with Fang Cai's needle and thread on the side, frowning slightly between her eyebrows, and sometimes looking at the opposite side to focus on the brocade eyebrows in the pen and paper. Jin Mei lowered his head and traced the magnolia branches, and when one branch was finished, he repaired it again, and then picked up the two corners and shone it against the window. "Alright."

Jinfang suddenly came back to her senses, sat up straight and said, "Okay?" While reaching out to take it, I saw that there were two magnolia branches painted on it thinly and lightly, and three budding flowers were dotted on it, elegant and beautiful, and even the branches and knots were depicted in the subtleties, which was exactly the same as the one she saw on the silk that day. blurted out: "My sister is a good painter!" If I knew this, I really wanted to ask you for advice! ”

Jin Yong also looked at it, but Jin Mei looked at the upper embroidered in her hand, "The wedding boots embroidered by the second sister don't look like they are worn by a woman's family, and we will never have to do the wedding dress of the eldest aunt." Could it be that which young master of our family is also going to have a happy event? ”

Hearing her say this, the two sisters withdrew their gaze. Jin Yong said: "The cousin girl has a good eye. Do you know that after our eldest sister got married after the year, at the beginning of May, the eldest brother will also marry the third lady of the Xue family as Mrs. Zheng? ”

"Is it the Xue family in the three families of Ye, He, and Xue Yuxiu?" Jin Mei was a little surprised. She has seen several young ladies of the Xue family, and in her impression, this Miss Xue San seems to be knowledgeable and good-looking, and she is a good match for her family. It's just that when this family affair was decided, as the eldest wife's mother's family, she didn't know.

"Exactly. Although the girl is not out of the house, she must know about their family. Jin Fang sat down in the same place in the east seat, and picked up the unfinished embroidery and said, "That is what was decided in the winter of the old year." The eldest brother is arrogant, and he treats his younger brothers and sisters well on weekdays, but he is not sure of a thousand choices in marriage, and his wife is in a hurry, because he heard that the young lady of the Xue family is waiting for the boudoir, so he discussed with the lord and decided to marry. It's a foregone conclusion, and the big brother has to rely on it. ”

Jin Mei nodded, and looked at the boots carefully.

"So, the big brother's happy day is going to fall behind my sister?" Jin Mei suddenly thought of this. smiled: "Mrs. also hurts my sister a little, but let the eldest brother go behind." This is also a great joy for the family, and the strange lady personally led Liu Shun's family to the Xue Mansion today, presumably it can be regarded as walking around the family in the New Year. I've been here for a long time, and I've only heard about it now. ”

Jinfang tilted her head and said quietly: "My sister has lived for a long time, so these things will naturally get the news early." ”

Jin Yong stood up and stood beside her, his palm touching her shoulder, as if to comfort her. "I just said that my cousin has good eyesight, why is she sluggish now? Does marrying early hurt us? How do you know that it is not meant to get rid of the burden as soon as possible? The girl is the niece of the wife, and she is deeply valued by the wife, so she naturally thinks that this is a great lift. But although we come from humble backgrounds, we are not necessarily rare. ”

"Two girls!" Jin Fang pulled Jin Yong's sleeve anxiously. Jin Yong unwillingly pulled her hand out, but this time she only pursed her lips and did not say that she would go down.

Jin Mei was reprimanded by her and was immediately stunned. Later, when I thought about what I had just heard, I also realized that the words had touched Jinfang's sore spot, and I regretted my recklessness, and I didn't know what to say anymore.
