The little girl who was guarding under the curtain was named Rui'er, and when she heard the call, she hurriedly greeted her: "Who is looking for it?" ”

Jin Nuo - no, it should be "Jin Mei" now. Jin Mei has also brushed his clothes and stood up, but he saw a pretty girl wearing a crimson dress in the curtain moving, and when he saw Jin Mei inside, he smiled and said: "My cousin girl is sleeping well!" Jin Mei recognized that this was the person in front of the old lady, who was very powerful, but she forgot about it, and said with a smile: "Sister, please take a seat." Rui'er said on the side: "This is Sister Liuli in the old lady's house." ”

Jin Mei saw it again. Liuli Xiang said: "I came to have nothing else to do, the old lady just woke up, only to feel that the body is much lighter, because I am worried about the arrival of distinguished guests today, I am afraid of losing my courtesy, so I was busy sending me to invite." If the girl has nothing important, please go over and sit down for a while, now the eldest wife, the third wife, the third girl, the fourth girl are all in it! ”

How dare Jin Mei slack off, it just so happened that Biluo Liucui had come back from the houses, and was busy helping to dress and change clothes. And he took off the silver satin jacket in the morning, changed into a narrow jacket of white plum embroidered with water blue, and put a mutton fat jade bracelet on his wrist, still lightly applied fat powder, and when he was to clean up, he took the prepared table gift and went to the main room on the left side of the main courtyard with the glass.

The old lady lives in the house also has a name, called "Rong'an Hall", a small a dozen or so large courtyards, close to the back garden, quiet and chic, the courtyard is planted with two begonias and two plums, there are three thrush frames hanging under the verandah, two or three people wearing the same clothes with the glass are teasing the birds, seeing that someone is coming at the door, busy said: "Dare to love is the cousin girl is coming, go and report the old lady!" ”

The girls entered the house and opened the curtains. When I reached the threshold, I could hear the laughter and noise in the house, and there were many people.

Liuli walked quickly to the hall first, and Jin Mei led Biluo to wait outside the door. First, I heard the laughter in the house gradually stopped, and after being quiet for a while, an old and energetic voice said: "I have heard that the second lady of the in-laws house has a deficiency disease, you little hooves, in this cold weather, why don't you invite people into the house quickly?" No, it froze and broke people's bones. Then I heard Liuli smile: "What the old lady said is that it is our fault." ”

In the blink of an eye, Liuli smiled outwards and said, "Cousin, please come in, the old lady is invited." ”

Jin Mei said thank you, and met an old lady with crooked eyebrows and silver hair on the couch, wearing a wipe on her forehead, and she already knew that this was the mother of the three old men of He Mansion, Mrs. He. The old lady has three wooden chairs side by side on the left and right, one color of mahogany and scarlet pillows, on the left is the top sitting Mrs. He, on the right sitting a woman over thirty years old in a stone blue jacket, with a silk golden phoenix Ruyi hairpin on her head, and a three-point smile floating on the face of the melon seed, it is the third wife Qin Shi is undoubted.

The second on the left sat a young lady of about twenty-eight, with a pink face and peach cheeks, a slightly plump figure, and her eyes looked at the place where the brocade eyebrows came from, except for a little curiosity, there were two other points between the eyebrows. This is the third girl Jinyu in the second old man's house, the sister born to He Shaohuang's mother.

Behind Jinyu, there was a beautiful woman in pink clothes, slightly younger than Jinyu, about twelve or thirteen years old, like a third wife, also with a melon seed face, and a red mole the size of a grain of rice on her chin, which looked playful and cute, and her eyes were full of curiosity. It is the daughter born to the third wife, the fourth girl Jinhua.

Then there were seven or eight maid servants serving around the place, and colorful clothes flew everywhere, until the main hall was full of happy harmony.

"This must be Sister Nuo's sister!"

After Jinhua finished looking, he swept away his shyness, and immediately clapped his hands to meet him, and there was no intention of twisting Nirvana in his lively demeanor. Liuli introduced, "This is the fourth girl", Jinmei made a sisterhood ceremony, and then walked straight to the center, and said a blessing upright: "The little girl of Yefu, Jinmei, please be an old lady." ”

"Hurry up!" The old lady smiled and said, "Blame the poor child, such a delicate child, it is rare to be as generous and polite as your sister." ”

Mrs. He stood up with a smile, pointed to the third wife, and said, "This is the third wife, I've seen it soon." Jin Mei saw it again, the third lady stood up busily, took her hand and said with a smile: "It's strange that there are all the beauties in the Ye Mansion, it was amazing to have an aunt to be our daughter-in-law, and then there was a fairy-like Nuo'er, and now I see this second lady again, and there is an aura inside and out!" ”

"I just came back, and you brought up Nuo'er again to provoke me!" Mrs. He pretended to pat the back of the third wife's hand, the two smiled together, the third lady sat down on the first chair, and the old lady let the head sit with Jinmei. Jin Mei refused, and the old lady said, "You are the guest of the eldest lady, so it should be so." "That's how we sat down.

After the girl served the tea, Jin Mei took the box in Biluo's hand and handed it to the couch in person: "The old lady is old, and there is no gift at home, this is the two old ginseng given by the saint that year. ”

"This can't be helped!" The old lady said: "This is the kindness given to you by the royal family, how can the old body afford it!" I think that among the three royal embroideries in the capital back then, your Ye family ranked first with one hand to cover the world's 'Tianluo needle method', and no one could surpass it for more than a hundred years, and it was the remaining He Xue family, and they could only be slightly equal to it in terms of color and materials. The prestige of 'Tianyi Embroidery Village' is no less than that of ordinary princes, and now you are willing to come to live in our mansion, which is the honor of our Ye Mansion, which is not only a family, but why do you need to see the outside like this? In the future, just treat this as your own home, your aunt is your own mother, don't be restrained. ”

The third lady also smiled humbly: "Exactly, your mother is also too cautious. ”

Mrs. He smiled silently.

Jin Mei said: "The old lady and the third wife are polite, I want the old lady to live a long life now, naturally I have seen everything in the world, a little gift is not a respect, please look at the face of the eldest lady, accept it." ”

Seeing her sincerity, the old lady didn't say anything, just thought about it, and asked Liuli to go to the warehouse to get a clear jade bracelet, and said: "You are not strong enough blood, your complexion is pale, and the mutton fat jade white bracelet is very unenergetic. This bracelet was also a thing in the palace back then, so I gave it to you to wear and play! ”

Jin Mei was busy refusing to accept it, and Liuli smiled and said, "The old lady is scattered today, and if she doesn't collect it, she will lose it" while saying that she put the bracelet on her wrist and helped her sit back in place. The old lady pointed and scolded Liuli for "splashing monkey hooves", causing a room of laughter, and Jin Mei thanked him.

The banquet was nothing more than talking about some short things in the parents, because I knew many people in this courtyard earlier, who and everything had a place in their hearts, and Jin Mei held the tea and listened silently, but he didn't feel bored. At one moment, there was something in front of me, so I asked Mrs. He to go, and the third wife also said goodbye together. Because the old lady kept the meal, Jin Mei sat down. The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that the one in Huang'er's house was playing tricks just now?" actually made trouble at the door, and it was not an outsider who bumped into it today, otherwise it would have swept away the family's reputation. The discipline of our government is not strict, and the cousin girl is not surprised. ”

Jin Mei hurriedly said: "The old lady is serious, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and each family has its own difficulties. ”

"Miss Mei's tone is like the daughter-in-law of a family." The third girl, Jinyu, didn't speak for a long time, always looked at Jinmei intentionally or unintentionally, but then she pursed her lips and smiled. "People say that everyone is authentic and beautiful, never caring about the parents, nor close to the neighbors, the truth in the mouth of the girl Mei, but like a deep understanding of the world. Like we don't understand, the girl has a lot of knowledge, and I will definitely ask you more for advice another day! ”
