When I arrived at the corridor of Ronghua Hall, I heard a lot of laughter inside, mixed with the sound of jokes that were high and low. The maids in each room all stood outside the door with their hands down, and some of them were bolder, so they stretched out their hands to tease the starlings standing on the shelf. Seeing that Jinmei and Biluo Liucui arrived together, someone was busy carrying their skirts into the house to spread the news that "the cousin girl is also here", and even heard a slightly childish female voice happily said, "Sister Mei'er has also arrived, let's prepare to go into the garden!" It was the fourth girl, Jinhua, who came out to open the curtain in person while she was talking, and took her eyebrows in.

Jin Mei was not very familiar with the fourth girl "before her death", but she felt that this little girl always seemed to like to look at her from afar, but now for some reason, she actually fell in love with herself like this, and she felt happy in her heart.

Liucui followed behind and quipped: "It's rare that the four girls are relieved and come out to greet them in person, our girls are really blessed!" ”

Jinhua smiled and turned around, but did not speak.

The room was really crowded with people, just didn't know what fun was being said, Mrs. He sat on the top with a smile, the eldest lady also smiled and leaned crookedly on the couch, and the third lady deliberately changed into a bright pink long and narrow jacket today, and her face was also smeared with some rouge, which looked more beautiful than in the past.

Several aunts stood or sat at the bottom. Aunt Li stood behind the eldest lady with a handkerchief, with a smile on her face; Aunt Liu in the second room is the biological mother of the fourth young master, and because she is fat, she sits on the lower right. Next to her are the three girls. On the left side-by-side two chairs sit the eldest girl and the second girl.

Aunt Luo, the biological mother of the fifth young master in the second room, was nowhere to be seen, and Aunt Qi, the mother of the sixth young master in the third room, was busy adding tea to everyone present with three or four mothers-in-law.

There were also two people standing behind the three girls, one was Aunt Ning from the long house, and the other didn't recognize her, only to see a melon seed face, slender eyebrows and eyes, about eighteen or nineteen years old. The two leaned together and talked softly, not knowing what to say, but after a closer look, their faces were just as dissatisfied. Jin Mei greeted the wives, took the birthday gift, and then gave a salute to the aunts. When he came to these two, he bent down slightly because he didn't know his surname.

"My cousin was born well." The aunt glanced at her and smiled, "It's just that the girl's body is too thin, but this purple velvet jacket can't afford it." Our three girls also have one of the same color, but our girls are in good shape, and they are more elegant than you when they wear them. Sister Ning, do you say yes or no? ”

When she spoke, her voice was neither high nor low, but it drew the attention of everyone present. The corners of Aunt Ning's lips were slightly raised, and she couldn't tell whether it was good or not. Jinyu squinted her eyes and glanced at Jinmei, her nose snorted slightly, and her face turned away again. Jin Mei was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Auntie's words are not unreasonable, the three girls are very beautiful, and ordinary people are difficult to reach, how dare Mei'er compare with them." It's just that because today is the birthday of the third wife, I don't have a generous gift, so I have to add two points of joy to my clothes to be not rude, even if I can't set off this style, I can't take care of it. I think that the three girls who don't like to wear bright clothes, but today they boldly wore the most difficult tanuki coat, which is also the same as her sister. ”

She smiled and looked at Jinyu as she spoke, Jinyu's hand stopped knocking melon seeds, her face was slightly red, but she couldn't bear to look this way. Although Jin Mei doesn't know what the relationship between this aunt and the third girl is, since she wants to protect her, she might as well pull her into the water.

After listening to this, the aunt stared at Jinmei without smiling: "The girl is very eloquent." ”

Aunt Ning smiled slowly: "There is a big lady who is carefully trained on weekdays, and the cousin will not be inferior." ”

The girls began to stop talking. Jinhua was eating plum fruit next to the third wife, and when she saw it, she came over, took Jinmei's arm and said: "The third sister is dressed with the style of the third sister, and the sister Mei is dressed with the temperament of the sister Mei. If you want to please the third sister, you can do it privately on weekdays, and you are not afraid that the eldest lady will be annoyed. ”

The aunt was choked by this, made a gesture to clear her throat, and turned her head sideways to look at the eldest lady. The eldest lady picked up the handkerchief and printed her lips, still saying kindly: "Hua'er, sit down and eat the fruit, your Aunt Su and Sister Mei are laughing, your two sisters are not serious, you are serious." Today is your mother's birthday, and no one is allowed to mess with me. Do you hear that? ”

"I hear you." Jinhua stuck out her tongue and still snuggled back into her mother's arms.

This is not just for Jinhua alone, the three girls are even favored by the old lady for all to see, but they don't know the severity of their momentary anger, Jinmei also knew that he was reckless at this time, so he stepped back and took a seat. Thinking about the talented person again, it turns out that this long-eyed woman is Aunt Su who sprinkled in the second girl's Jinyong room that day. She unconsciously raised her eyes and looked at it again, and felt that she really looked like such a difficult person.

When Aunt Su saw the steps, there was no reason, and she was busy and smiled: "What Mrs. said is exact, because I just saw that my cousin was so proficient, so I took her as my own family member and told a joke." Or the wife has a big belly and doesn't care about us. ”

The eldest lady just didn't hear it, and still talked about the tea with the old lady who was silent.

Someone here poured tea for Jinmei, lowered his head and thought, and suddenly someone next to him reached out and handed over the almonds, and when he saw it, it was the eldest girl Jinfang. Jin Fang smiled and motioned her to take it, but the second girl Jin Yong, who was sitting on her right hand, frowned slightly, looking at her with elegant eyes. Jin Mei stretched out her hand to take it, smiling and greeting, and Jin Fang slowly turned her head over again, and listened to the wives discuss the banquet in the garden with Jin Yong.

Before the discussion was raised, someone from the door said: "Aunt Sanfang Chun is here." Liuli, who was waiting for the old lady, got up and went to open the curtain, and saw a pretty woman with a slightly convex belly coming in with a melancholy face. Seeing this, the third lady hurriedly greeted her: "I told you to lie down and not move, why did you come back?" What if the tire gas is activated again? Aunt Chun smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. has a good day, how can I not come?" Besides, Dr. Zhao had already diagnosed the pulse yesterday and prescribed medicine, saying that he could get out of bed and walk around a little. It's okay. ”

The third lady complained all the way, and helped her all the way to sit down. Jin Mei remembered that she had heard the mother-in-law talk about it that day, this Aunt Chun actually got up at night and was alarmed under the corridor, and it seems that the child was saved, but people suffered a lot. After thinking about it again, Aunt Chun wanted to salute the old lady, and the old lady was busy saying: "You are heavy, but don't be restrained, you don't have to see the ceremony today, just a room of ladies happy and happy." If you feel uncomfortable, you can call someone to accompany you back to the room, your wife's birthday is important, but it is also more important than the child in the womb! ”

Aunt Chun thanked her in every way. Next to Liuli quipped: "The old lady forgot her daughter-in-law when she saw her grandson, she is really an eccentric ancestor!" And they all burst out laughing.
