Jin Mei looked at her fixedly, and the old lady scolded with a smile: "Our Yu'er's mouth is clever!" ”

"Old lady!" Jinyu leaned on the old lady with a smile. The old lady smiled and hugged her in her arms, and said angrily: "In front of the guests, don't be naughty!" "The old lady is eccentric! Fang Cai also said that Miss Mei should not treat herself as a guest, but now Yu'er has just seen a sister, and she is just close, so she made a joke, why bother others! ”

The old lady smiled and stroked the back of her hand and said, "You girl, who in the house doesn't know that I am most partial to you among my granddaughters?" Even your four sisters have to step aside! Still playing tricks here! ”

The grandparents and grandchildren laughed together, and Jinhua made a ghost to Jinyu. While Liuli handed the old lady a decoction, she walked to Jinmei's side and touched Jinmei's arm, and whispered: "Sister, don't be angry, the third sister has always been like this!" We didn't pay attention to her. ”

Jin Mei smiled and shook her head to show that it was okay.

The hall was getting darker, and suddenly a mother-in-law lit five or six candles up, and everyone felt that the sky outside the door was dark, and I don't know when the snowflakes fell again, and there were layers of ice flowers on the window lattices. Bi Luo took over the stove and gave it to Jin Mei, and Liuli led the girls to start setting up the table for dinner. The old lady said to Jin Mei: "I don't have strict rules here, I have instructed each room in the early years, if there are no guests of high status or age here, there is no need for the daughter-in-law to serve in front of you, I only think you are your own family, and you don't need them to come today, you can be more casual." ”

Jin Mei nodded: "Mrs. Xie is kind." ”

The rules of the dinner table in Hefu are slightly different from those in Yefu, and Mrs. Ye was quite interested in health preservation, so she asked her daughter to drink soup before meals to be easy to absorb. However, Jinmei saw that eight meat and four vegetarian dishes were served on the dinner table today, and a cordyceps keel soup was warmed by a small copper charcoal stove, and it was only to be eaten after the meal.

Because the old lady likes to be more lively, so she specially ordered someone to invite the eldest girl and the second girl to come, but unexpectedly the eldest girl because of the wind injury when she went out today, she drank the soothing soup early and lay down, and the second girl didn't know what to do, and there was no movement for a long time, until the dishes were all on the table, and the girl ring who went to invite him turned around, and said a few words in Liuli's ear, and Liuli told the old lady to listen, only to see the old lady's face gradually pull down, and said: "The beasts that don't stop, let them go!" "That's it.

On the spot, the old lady was at the top, Jinyu sat next to her, Jinmei sat in the guest seat, and Jinhua was on the left. Liuli and several other big girls are waiting for the dishes, and a small cup of plum blossom stuffing is specially heated to help the fun.

When I was about to sit down and start the meal, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then someone shouted: "The grandson is in a hurry, the old lady has opened the meal, and she can get a share of the grandchild!" ”

Everyone just laughed when they heard this, and Liuli even smiled outside: "Today, there is a distinguished guest in the old lady's house, but I haven't prepared your meal, go back to the wife's house quickly!" Although he said this, he turned his head and hurriedly called for others to prepare dishes and chopsticks.

Jin Mei's heart shook when she heard this voice, and only then did she feel in a trance, the curtain was raised, and with a small north wind, a gentle young man with a golden unicorn crown came in. "In the morning, when I went out, it was only cloudy, but now it was snowing, and I saw that the two plums in front of the door were blooming well, and I was afraid that I would bend the branches tomorrow, but I happened to break two branches, and quickly took them and plugged them in. - Oh, grandson, please old lady Ann. ”

The young man shouted at the entrance of the road all the way in, and he was holding two and a half red plums in his arms, which were blooming gorgeously. It seemed that this flower was so precious, until I saw the old lady smiling and looking over, that I remembered to bow down and get up. Liuli hurriedly took the flowers: "The third young master was polite today, and even brought flowers to the ancestors." In the past, there were a lot of rubbing food here with us, and I didn't see any gifts. You guys take it and plug it in, but be careful, don't touch it, and then plant it in the spring next year, it seems that everyone knows the filial piety of the third young master! Everyone knew that he was deliberately joking, and they all laughed.

"Liuli's mouth is unforgiving again." The young man asked the old lady to be safe, smiled slightly and sat down next to her, "You always love to blame me for being greedy, this is no wonder to me, who called the old lady The cook here is first-class good, and the maids are first-class and clever." It's not just me, but the eldest brother, the second brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother, all of whom are also thinking about the good here!"

When the old lady and the others heard this, there was no doubt that there was another burst of laughter. Jinhua drank a glass of wine, got up to hold the pot and said to the young man: "The third brother went to the Lin Commander's Mansion to watch the play today, and he must have played chess with the eldest son of the Xue family again, and he didn't even touch a glass of wine." Now that it's here, let's make up for it here! After finishing speaking, Jinyu also said: "I heard that Uncle Xue is not the sister-in-law of the eldest master of the Xue family, but the concubine born to his aunt, although he is the eldest son and has no wife, he has already had three or four concubines on his side, and he is constantly raising fans outside, and his reputation is the most unbearable, how can the third brother always play with those people?" There is no loss of identity. ”

The third young master smiled and said nothing, and went to pick up the warm-up soup handed by Liuli.

Since the arrival of this young master, the banquet has been lively, and everyone has different words, and the atmosphere has been swept away. Jin Mei didn't want to be noticed by the boy immediately, so she became more and more silent, only bowed her head to eat, her teeth slightly extended, and only leaned into the plate in front of her. The old lady was always smiling silently, listening to the laughter of her grandchildren, and then suddenly said: "Yes, you went out early this morning, and you haven't greeted your guests, come and see your cousin!" ”

The young man looked at Jinmei, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, I just went to see my mother, and I heard Holly say that the second sister of my grandfather's mansion is here, because you live in the mansion all the year round, and you have not walked around the house for several years. ”

Jin Mei's fingers twisted his palms in the sleeve cage, and he got up and gave a blessing: "The third young master is serious." Mei'er has seen the third young master. ”

The young man looked at her eyebrows for a while, suddenly turned his head, and said to the old lady: "It's strange, I think this sister Mei'er looks a little similar to Nuo'er." She treats me so seriously every time she sees me, and when she gets angry. A few days ago, I heard the bad news about my sister, and I always felt as if Nuo'er was still around. ”

"Nonsense!" The old lady said angrily: "Your two sisters are sisters, and it is normal for them to be somewhat alike." Besides, you have been playing with Nuo'er since you were a child, and when you heard that she had an accident, you didn't believe it for a while. I'm old, and I'm the most unpleasant to hear about these dead and alive, so don't talk about these depressing words! ”

The boy stopped talking, glanced at Jinmei again, and lowered his brow again.
