sent his wife to Ronghua Hall, and Jin Mei led Liucui to Lujiao Xuan.

At the end of the corridor, there were two pretty girls with ingots, talking and laughing under the sun, like two birds out of the cage.

Liucui's eyes were sharp, and he pointed ahead and said, "Isn't that the yellow warbler cuckoo of Linglong Garden?" Where are you going with these two baskets of things? Jin Mei put her hands on the pergola on her forehead and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the two girls in front of Jinfang. He stopped at the local area and waited for the two to approach.

Huang Ying saw the two of them first, smiled, and said, "Hello cousin." Fang just called Lujiaoxuan, and said that the girl came to the main courtyard. ”

Jin Mei smiled, "How are you girls?" ”

Huang Ying nodded: "The cousin girl cares, our girl was already well the day before yesterday." After breakfast today, I watched us dig winter bamboo shoots in Jiyun Zhai. Girl, you see—these two baskets of bamboo shoots were all dug up. The bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest of the second girl are fat, and at this time the weather is cold, and the whole cat is underground, and it tastes crispy and refreshing. The eldest girl kept a basket for herself, and then asked us to send a basket to Mrs. and Aunt Ning. ”

When Liucui heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and picked up one in his hand, and sure enough, the bamboo shoot shell was tightly wrapped, fat and tender. Jin Mei glanced at it and said, "It's rare that you girls have a heart, but the wife just went to the old lady to have a fasting feast, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see her at this time." ”

Huang Ying smiled: "It's okay, I'll give it to Sister Qiu Cheng." It's just Aunt Ning's share, she has been happy recently, and she still likes to cook and eat this winter bamboo shoot, and our girl specially instructed her to hand it over to her aunt to receive it in person. We are in a hurry here, so we won't talk much to the girl, and the girl will be free, so she will go into the garden to play! ”

Jin Meimu sent the two into the hospital, and then walked back to the house.

Liucui muttered: "The eldest girl is also careful, Aunt Li is only not being sent by the Ning family as a maid now, and she still remembers what people like to eat!" That is, she is used to being obedient, if she is replaced by a second girl, she will go to someone's house early? - Hey, yes! How can the second girl be so quiet there, it stands to reason that this son should come to find Ning's bad luck, why is there no movement at all? Didn't you really let the old lady be honest? ”

Jin Mei glared at her angrily: "What are these words?" Are you a subordinate who chews the tongue of your masters like this? It wasn't enough to dare to be punished by his wife before, but he forgot the pain after the scar? ”

Liucui hurriedly stuck out her tongue: "Good girl, I will also talk to you, I will never dare to go to other places." ”

Jin Mei knew that she was not an inch person, so she glared at her twice as if she was warning at the moment, and it was okay.

Not everyone has the tradition of believing in Buddhism in Yefu, like Jinnuo's mother, Mrs. Ye, who is not very focused. Even with Jinnuo, he didn't pay much attention to it. Except for a festival sacrifice every year, he has not always been visited. Duyun Niang is extremely pious, except for the New Year's Festival, every fifteenth day of the first month and the Buddha's birthday, all into the incense and offering, not sloppy at all. Therefore, it is not surprising that the eldest lady would meet her in Qinglu Temple.

After lunch, Jin Mei took out the letter and read it twice, and the familiar handwriting made her feel sick for her father. The relationship between the father and daughter of the Ye family is very deep, and it is because Father Ye made an exception to give Jinnuo the embroidery of heavenly clothes, and only then did everyone make an appointment to hide the news of Jinnuo's death from Father Ye. In his letter, he told the two sisters to choose that small family to marry, thinking that they were afraid that their identities would not be what they used to be, and if they entered a wealthy family and were excluded and bullied, it would be equivalent to throwing themselves into dire misery in this life.

I really don't know what Daddy will be sad if he knows that his No'er is no longer alive!

Sitting alone in the room until the evening, Jin Mei barely suppressed her mood and carefully put away the letter.

"Girl, my wife asked someone to bring chicken soup."

Just wiped her tears, and Yimei called outside the curtain. Jin Mei took a steady breath and got up to go out.

There is a white porcelain cup on the table, the lid of the cup is slightly open, and the fragrance of the heart and spleen is revealed in the heart. The maid in the wife's room stood brightly with her hands hanging to the side. Seeing Jinmei appear, he took two steps forward with a smile: "The girl is sleeping, and the wife asked the slave to send the soup, but I'm afraid of disturbing the girl?" Jin Mei hurriedly said: "Where to say, I was sitting empty inside, but I bothered you." ”

While calling Bi Luo in, he took some money as a reward, and sat down at the table and opened the lid of the soup cup. Yimei scooped a small bowl of soup with a silver spoon and handed it to Jinmei, and said, "Girl, be careful, don't look at the soup without a trace of heat, but let the oil cover it." She took a sip carefully and praised: "It's really good soup, thank you for me, Mrs." ”

Here Bright did not leave, and said with a smile: "Mrs. also let the word go, saying that the old lady explained during lunch, and the girl will have her own old lady here to take care of it in the future, which is a blessing for the girl, and it also gives the wife face." In the future, the girl needs anything, but she only tells her wife, don't say that it is a bowl or two of chicken soup, that is, dragon meat and phoenix marrow, but if there is, she will also get it for the girl! ”

When Bi Luo Liucui heard this, he looked at each other and pursed his lips.

The corners of Jinmei's lips smiled, and said: "I really deserve the grace given by the old lady." When you go back and tell your wife, you will say that you have thanked your wife for her kindness. ”

Bright gave a few more flattery and left. Liucui came up and said: "This Guanyin Bodhisattva thinks that it is a manifestation, and the old lady is so merciful that she treats us and the three girls together." I'm afraid that as soon as the third girl gets the letter, it will be unquiet under our ears again! Bi Luo said slowly: "Whatever about her!" This is not something we stole and robbed, it was the old lady herself who said that she wanted this, but she didn't have to worry about her going! ”

Jin Mei lowered her head and drank the soup, the spoon fiddled in the bowl, and listened to the two talk silently.

When Bright returned to the main courtyard, he met the cook who was going to the side courtyard, so he stood under the plane tree and brushed the dust on his sleeves, and greeted him casually: "Zhao Erniang, do you want to send the soup?" The cook sighed: "It's a bright girl!" Listening to his wife's instructions, two chickens of such a big size were only boiled into a thick pot of soup, and there was no need to make up for it after giving it to my aunt! Isn't it just to send it while it's hot? ”

When Bright heard this, he leaned on the trunk of the tree and raised his chin towards the courtyard: "Then you go quickly!" It's about the time there's dinner. ”

Saying goodbye to her, Zhao Erniang carefully walked into the threshold of the side courtyard with the food box. Seeing that there was no one at the gate of the courtyard, he looked left and right, and saw that the first few rooms on the right were quiet and silent, and the doors and windows of the first row of three wings on the left were all newly pasted with smoke and veil, and there were two Tsing Yi girls standing at the door, and from time to time someone came in and out with melons and fruits.

When they arrived at the door, the two Yahuan asked at the same time, "Where did you come from?" ”

"The cook, at the order of his wife, came to deliver the soup."
