"Take her to the little hall, and I'll take a look." Jin Qing instructed Song's sister-in-law.
Meng Jun stood up: "I'll accompany you?" ”
Jin Qing shook her head and said with a smile: "Can she still be a three-headed and six-armed figure?" I don't make glass, and it shatters when I touch it.
Meng Jun laughed, "That's not to worry, your old man is brave, in order to snatch the marriage book, he knocked people down and beat them on the ground, what is this move called?" Vicious dogs pounce on ......"
Jin Qing's face was ashamed and annoyed, and he directly grabbed Meng Jun's ears, now that he is getting married, he is getting more and more excessive, every time he speaks, he doesn't feel happy if he doesn't entertain himself a few words, and threatens fiercely: "If you talk nonsense again, I will strip off your clothes in the middle of the night and throw you naked on the street!" ”
Meng Jun's face instantly made a frightened look in response to the situation.
Only then did Jin Qing put down the hand that was holding Meng Jun's ears with satisfaction, glanced at him, sorted out the somewhat messy clothes that were rubbed by Meng Jun, turned around and walked away with his head held high.
Shujuan followed Jin Qing, and the two of them entered the small hall one after another, and after Shujuan raised her eyes and saw the people sitting in the hall, she leaned into Jin Qing's ear and said in surprise: "Madam, it's really the eldest lady." ”
Yuan Jinxiu had now combed the woman's hairstyle, and sat there a little cramped, hearing Jin Qing's footsteps, she looked up and saw Jin Qing standing up with a quick smile.
Jinqing looked at Yuan Jinxiu quietly, the whole body was new, but the clothes were not very good, there were two bright golden hairpins inserted in the bun, and the most important thing was that Yuan Jinxiu's lower abdomen was bulging, and when she stood up, she held her waist with her hands, and it was estimated that she was pregnant for four or five months depending on the size of her belly.
Yuan Jinxiu wanted to salute Jinqing, but Jinqing hurriedly stopped her, made her sit down, and said with a smile: "Sister didn't go home with her father, why did she suddenly come to the capital?" ”
If it was before, Yuan Jinxiu would definitely jump up and point at Jinqing's nose and scold: Which one is cheap, who caused his father to lose his official position? Caused us to leave the capital?
However, the current Yuan Jinxiu is obviously not the arrogant little girl before, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "I went to the capital with your brother-in-law, thinking that we are our own sisters after all, we haven't seen each other for so long, and I don't know how you are now, I heard that you are married to General Meng, so I inquired all the way and took the liberty to come to the door." ”
Jin Qing waved her hand, "Sister, don't be so polite. But sister, when did you get married? ”
"That is, half a year ago, my father made the decision and promised me to your brother-in-law." Yuan Jinxiu replied.
I don't know if it's because I married someone else and became someone else's wife, or because I was pregnant with a child and wanted to be a mother, Yuan Jinxiu no longer saw the arrogant and violent temper of the eldest lady, and the whole person exuded an aura of peace and love, and from time to time touched her bulging belly with a happy smile.
Even if Jinqing doesn't like Yuan Jinxiu in her heart, she has to admit that when Yuan Jinxiu doesn't lose her temper, she is still a beautiful woman who is very good-looking and pleasing to the eye. And her sister seems to be marrying well, Yuan Yingquan is now deprived of her official position, she is a commoner, Yuan Jinxiu has become a concubine by herself, and she can marry an official who went to Beijing to take office, I have to say that luck is really good.
"Why didn't my brother-in-law bring him with him? It's good to recognize relatives. Jin Qing said politely.
Yuan Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand, "He is just a five-grade petty official, and he is old-fashioned on weekdays, and he is afraid that he will come to the door plainly, and he will be said to want to climb his relatives and high branches, and he is also afraid that his brother-in-law will not like him and make people unhappy." ”
What a low posture you put yourself in!
After a few more pleasantries, Jin Qing asked reluctantly: "Now, .................. father" After thinking for a long time, Jin Qing couldn't think of anything to ask Yuan Yingquan, so he said indiscriminately: "How is his health?" ”
Yuan Jinxiu smiled kindly, it seemed that Jinqing caused Yuan Yingquan to lose his official position and go home at all, "My father's health is still good, he raises huā grass at home every day, and occasionally goes out with a few friends to write poems and essays, and his life is very leisurely." ”
Jinqing nodded slightly, she couldn't sit still, if Yuan Jinxiu was the same as before, yelling at her, she had a way to deal with it, but Yuan Jinxiu now seemed to have grown up overnight, speaking kindly and behaving politely, she looked at Yuan Jinxiu's face, obviously very familiar, now it is like she doesn't know each other, let herself and Yuan Jinxiu be so affectionate, she can't do it, and her heart is very awkward.
"After going through so many things, I can understand a lot of truth now." Yuan Jinxiu sighed, "If you want to talk about it, we can't live with my sister, my sister must not have any pimples in her heart, I was not sensible back then, I didn't look like a sister, and I gave my sister a lot of grievances, which really shouldn't be." ”
Yuan Jinxiu said sincerely, stood up with his stomach and waist, and wanted to apologize to Jinqing. Jin Qing saw that her situation was terrifying, and hurriedly grabbed her, and said with a smile: "They are all sisters, what grievances are there and not grievances, tongues and teeth when fighting!" Now that my sister has a body, take care of her body! "What's more, there must be no problems with her, otherwise she will be full of mouths and can't say clearly.
Yuan Jinxiu sat down cautiously, her face glowed with love, touched her stomach and smiled: "That's natural, how long has my sister been married?" I don't want anyone to say anything, so I can add makeup to my sister. ”
Jin Qing smiled: "August." "Who knows where you were then? Even if she knew, she wouldn't have said it.
When Yuan Jinxiu heard this, she became interested, and asked in a low voice, "Is that pregnant?" ”
Jin Qing's smile became dry, "Not yet." ”
Yuan Jinxiu knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly said: "This is not in a hurry, you and your brother-in-law are in good health, you are young, relax your mind, and there will be soon." "This is the tone of a passer-by... It's very empathetic.
Yuan Jinxiu also talked about the recent situation of some family members, and intimately inquired about Jinzhi's studies, but couldn't find any fault.
Jinqing wanted to keep Yuan Jinxiu for dinner, Yuan Jinxiu hurriedly excused herself, and apologized with a smile, saying that they had just arrived in the capital this afternoon, and they hadn't had time to pack up anything, so they would bring their husbands to visit again another day.
Jin Qing didn't keep her much... asked Sister-in-law Song to arrange a carriage to send her back.
After Yuan Jinxiu left, Shujuan was surprised and sighed: "Madam, this eldest lady has changed so much, if it weren't for her appearance, I really couldn't believe it was her!" ”
Jin Qing said that she was very ashamed, you look at people, a year ago she was still a tsundere lady who only knew how to lose her temper... Now whether she is pretending to be or real, Yuan Jinxiu is so sensible and knows so much about advance and retreat, on the other hand, she is still rampage in doing things for a year, and she only has meat on her body but not brains, which is really embarrassing!
Back in the room... Jinqing told him about Yuan Jinxiu, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect her to be quite lucky, Yuan Yingquan felt sorry for his daughter, and found her a good family." ”
Meng Jun disagreed: "I'll go and inquire tomorrow to see what this brother-in-law of yours is." ”
Not long after, Song's sister-in-law who sent Yuan Jinxiu home came back and said to Jinqing: "Sending Mrs. Yuan home, it's in a place in Toumi Lane in the east of the city... It should be the house they just rented. The slave and maid looked at the commotion in the house... The adults were busy packing their luggage, as well as the elderly and children, there were more than a dozen of them, and it was a mess! ”
Jin Qing was surprised... shook his head with Meng Jun and said, "Look at it, how can anyone go to Beijing to take their parents, brothers and sisters with them?" Really, I don't know how expensive it is to rent a house in Beijing! ”
As soon as Meng Jun came back the next day, he showed Jin Qing a famous post.
"Yan Mingli." Jin Qing read out the name on the famous post: "Who is this?" ”
"It's Miss Yuan's husband." Meng Jun said, "The observer of Wupin has just been transferred to the capital. ”
Jin Qing showed a clear look, but Meng Jun added another sentence: "He is fifty-two years old this year." ”
At this time, Jin Qing was really shocked, and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure?" Make no mistake! "Yuan Yingquan is only in his early forties, and his son-in-law is nearly ten years older than himself, how terrible!
Well, Yuan Jinxiu is also pregnant with a child, although Lord Yan is old, he is still not old, Jinqing can't help but want to be crooked.
Meng Jun smiled and sneered, "That's not wrong at all, I glanced at him through the curtain in the ministry in the afternoon, his beard is white, your sister is his newly married house, and the grandsons of this strict name will run all over the ground, and there are a bunch of concubines and concubines." ”
Jin Qing understands, the old man that Sister-in-law Song saw yesterday should be Yan Mingli, those crazy children are Yan Mingli's grandchildren, and the adults who are busy packing their luggage are Yan Mingli's sons.
"Wei loves her daughter so much, why did she agree to let Yuan Jinxiu go to fill the old man's house? Yan Mingli's daughter is a few years older than Yuan Jinxiu. Jin Qing shook his head and sighed, I don't know what Wei felt when he recalled when he kidnapped Jin Qing to fill the house for Old Man Cao.
"Yuan Jinxiu is a concubine and the daughter of a criminal official, and it is not easy to marry a Wupin Jingguan to fill the house." Meng Jun's rational analysis, "That Yan Mingli is probably also gambling, he is already in his fifties, no one will promote him, and in two years he will retire from the position of this five-grade observation envoy, no matter what, you are Yuan Jinxiu's sister, if you can climb this relationship, he is still very beneficial." ”
Jin Qing felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, when she had no money and no power, these people either wanted to pretend that she didn't have her or sold her to get some benefits, but now that she has some money and status, all the people who can't beat her want to climb some relationships and get some benefits.
"I don't have a good relationship with them, I won't give them anything." Jin Qing said in a low voice. Think about Yuan Jinxiu, as soon as he arrived in the capital on a cold day, he came here with his stomach to accompany him and pull the relationship, I don't know if it is pitiful or hateful.
"They don't think so." Meng Jun sighed, "What is a blood relative, that is, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, you can quarrel with Yuan Jinxiu and fight fiercely, but she is going to fall on the street, can you not care?" ”
Jin Qing pursed her mouth, she remembered Old Man Meng, no matter how much she and Meng Jun hated him, they couldn't do anything to him, and when they saw him, they had to call him father respectfully.
