Jin Mei and Jin Yong played two rounds, and Jin Fangcai was ready. Hongying and others were busy setting up the meal and serving, and Jinmei took a look at the table, four cold, eight hot and twelve dishes, and the aroma was overflowing, and sure enough, when you smell it, you will know that the craftsmanship is excellent. Huang Ying hurriedly scooped hot water and washed her hands with Jinfang, and Jin Mei hurriedly took two pieces of loose incense from her purse and called Yimei to take them and smoke them in her sleeves for her.

Jinfang sat down and said with a smile: "Rough craftsmanship, it is rare for Su Ri to show his hand, so he is not an outsider at Mei'er, and he offers ugliness." Jin Mei said: "If this is only called a superficial skill, then there is no one in our kitchen who is good at cooking?" And they all laughed. Jin Yong tasted the venison first, and suddenly said: "Yes, I forgot that there is still half a jar of apricot blossom spring in the room, Hongying is going to warm it up!" ”

Jin Fang was serious and said: "At this time, the day is still cold, Mei'er's body is weak, and I have to go back after a while, but I am afraid that it will not be good to drink at night." ”

Jin Yong waved his hand and said: "It's rare to be so close, how can you be so close without wine?" You'll get married in a month, and I don't know if there's a chance in the future. ”

Hearing her say this, Jinfang looked at Jinmei. Jin Mei smiled: "I don't have to worry about it, I've been in good health recently, and I've drunk several night wines, but I'm safe and sound." Since it is a good day for the second sister, we don't have to be too restrained. "Exactly!" Jin Yong clapped her hands and laughed, and then ordered Hongying to go to warm the wine quickly.

Here the maids also gave birth to a stove under the table, and the three of them chatted while eating, and in this early spring night, they felt warm. Jin Fang first removed the cover, Jin Mei sat in the innermost position, and for a while also took off the cotton coat covering her face, revealing a long and narrow jacket of light cyan. Accidentally, the jade embroidered shoes hanging around his neck fell on the placket of his coat and shook twice under the lamp.

Jin Fang, who was on the right, stretched out his hand to grab the little jade shoes: "Mei'er, this jade is chic, who has such ingenuity, carved this embroidered shoe as a pendant for you?" ”

Hearing this, Jin Yong also leaned over to take a look, pursed her lips slightly, and said: "These shoes come in pairs, and they are carved so finely, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will give them away?" Jin Mei's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant back into the collar, and said, "Where did you come from?" It's just that my eldest sister came to play with me when I was a child. Don't talk nonsense. ”

Jin Yong watched her eat and laugh, and Jin Fang reached out to pat her: "Why do you have so much thought?" What kind of person Mei'er is that others don't know, don't we know? This word will spread, but I am afraid that it will be used as a talking handle again. Jin Yong glanced at her sister, then leaned her neck to eat a glass of wine, pointed to her eyebrows and smiled: "I know that some people are very good at making these small things, but they don't allow people easily." If you like it, I'll let him make something for you, how about I? ”

Jin Mei took a sip of wine, pretending not to hear. Jinfang said, "Are you talking about Shaoying?" I don't know about other people, he loves to carve these things in private, and I've seen them. Jin Yong smiled but did not speak. Jin Fang looked at the reddened Jin Mei for a while, sighed slightly, and nodded: "If it's him, it's still reliable." These brothers in the house, Shaoying is indeed outstanding, and he is very kind, you are cousins, and it is really good to be close to each other. ”

Jin Mei put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Sister, what are these words?" If you drink and eat well, how can you get involved with other people? ”

Jinfang stretched out her hand to hold her right arm: "It's not that I'm troublesome, if it's someone else, I won't mix it up anymore." Since you are so attached to us, I don't have to worry about it, but I can't say it. I saw that in the main courtyard that day, Shaoying's expression when she looked at you was different, but you were ashamed to run away. In my opinion, it's nothing.,Isn't it common for childhood sweethearts to have no guesses? This man and woman, as long as they are affectionate and courteous, they are not afraid of it. You must not have a burden because of what happened some time ago. ”

Jin Mei stroked the cup and was silent.

Jin Yong put down the cup and sneered softly: "Sister's words are bad." Who doesn't know that the person in Shaoying's heart is Sister Nuo? The two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. Shaoying has never liked or disliked people, and treats Mei'er better, I think it's just 'love the house and Wu', because she is Sister Nuo's sister. Even if he really becomes a relative in the future, he may not forget Sister Nuo in his heart, Mei'er is just a stand-in after all. That's what it means. ”

"You're talking nonsense again!" Jinfang tapped the back of her hand with the head of chopsticks, "Even if he has Nuo'er in his heart, he doesn't necessarily like her." The two of them have been together for many years, and they always have some feelings. In the future, if you become a husband and wife, you will naturally fade, how can you remember it for the rest of your life? ”

Jin Yong sneered: "Sister is really confused! The friendship between the two of them is so deep, if they become a family, they can forget the past, so what kind of affectionate and righteous man can Shaoying be called? is so fond of the new and forgets the old, if you take a few more concubines in the future, what good will Mei'er marry him! ”

"You, you girl!" Jinfang was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her face was muffled beside her.

"Two sisters, don't be angry about these little things." Jin Mei lowered his head for a moment, raised his head and said to Jinfang: "I know that my sister is for my good, but my sister has never intended to be the third young master, and it is impossible to have anything to do with him in the future." The younger sister is from a humble background, and the third young master treats people very well, so she will come from a more suitable lady. Since ancient times, marriages have been from the 'words of the matchmaker's parents', no matter what, please don't mention this matter in the future! I have neither fate nor share with him. ”

"Mei'er!"

Jinfang complained. Jin Mei said with a smile: "Not only do I ask my sister not to compare me with him, but also to mention other men in the house in the future, but also help me avoid it." This can be regarded as a great help to my sister. ”

Seeing that her expression was calm and calm, the two sisters did not seem to be prevaricating, and looked at each other at each other, so they did not mention it.

The three of them dispersed until late at night, half of the jar of apricot blossoms was brewed to the bottom, Jin Yong was so drunk that she sang the opera, although Jin Fang was better, but there was also a faint pain in her head. Jin Mei's heart was the clearest, and it happened that Liucui also turned on the lights to urge, so she and Hongying Yimei helped Jin Yong to lie down, and sent Huang Ying to call her mother-in-law to turn on the lights and take Jin Fang back to the house, and then returned to Lujiao Xuan with the maids.

The next day, when I slept until sunrise, I remembered that most of the quilts I had promised the old lady were left, so I hurried up. During the period, Yimei was sent to the garden to greet her, and learned that Jin Yong was fine, but Jin Fang's headache intensified, and she seemed to suffer from some wind and cold, so she went to see it in person.

In this way, except for two times in the garden, he didn't go anywhere for a few days, only buried himself in embroidering quilts, and even Jinyu's embroiderers put it aside. I was afraid that others would know that there was something wrong with this embroiderer, so I didn't call others to accompany me, but I just sent Biluo to wait in front of me.

By the 19th of February, the 100 sons had been embroidered on this day. The master and servant took a closer look at the window, and saw hundreds of fat boys with different shapes on the silk satin bottom cloth, all wearing the word Fu sitting and lying and playing, one by one as if standing on the quilt and moving, Bi Luo smacked his lips and admired: "I have also seen the eldest lady's own hand of the hundred quilts, compared to this, the embroidery seems to be comparable!" ”

Jin Mei didn't say much, only smiled and folded it, took the vermilion lacquer brocade box and packed it, and called Liucui: "Go and see, what is the old lady doing now?" ”
