******************
Just thinking about it, she heard a jingling sound, and then Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Wanying, Xu's Huo and others in, and saw the two children sitting next to the old lady, and couldn't help but be stunned. Mrs. Jiang didn't understand who this was, but Jiang Wanying was already taken aback, and her eyes only turned slightly in the crowd, and she saw Fu Qiuning, and her face couldn't help but change.
"Grandma wanted to meet the two siblings, Zang Feng and Zang Jiao, so she asked people to invite her. Mother hasn't seen your two grandsons yet, has she? Jin Fengju stepped forward, and Mrs. Jin let go of the hands of the two children, and he took them up and sent them to Fu Qiuning. So the three of them met Mrs. Jiang again.
It can be seen that this middle-aged woman does not have any good impression of herself and others because of the cuteness and sensibility of the two children like the old lady, Fu Qiuning can even clearly feel the cold aura emanating from Mrs. Jiang, but she is not panicked, and after giving the salute, she still pulls the two children to the side, at this time, Jin Zhenxuan, Jin Zhenyi, Jin Xiuzhen and other brothers and sisters already knew what they should do, and they all rushed to the old lady's side, grabbing the corners of her clothes and hands and calling grandma affectionately, In an instant, the empty space around the old lady was filled.
The room suddenly became lively. Jin Fengju glanced at Fu Qiuning and Jin Zangfeng Jin Zangjiao, and saw that Fu Qiuning was looking down and didn't know what to think, while the two brothers and sisters were mysteriously talking to each other, and no one seemed to feel uncomfortable because of the hostility of Mrs. Jiang and the others. Looking at Jiang Wanying, Xu's Huo and even Mrs. Jiang, although they were talking and laughing on the surface, the corners of their eyes were all glancing at the mother and son, as if they could probably burn with a flint. He smiled slightly, turned his head to the other party's wife and said, "Second uncle is still in the yamen?" Why haven't you seen it at this time? ”
Mrs. Fang pulled him over to sit down, and said with a smile: "Your second uncle is such a person, he came back from the yamen, but he asked someone to ask the old lady to say goodbye, and he will not enter this inner house again." But your father and your brother, are they okay as officials in other places? When can I return to Beijing? Is there any news? Tell me that the days outside are still hard, and you, who are sons and younger brothers, often walk in front of the emperor, should also speak for them. ”
Jin Fengju smiled bitterly and said, "What else does the second aunt not know?" It is precisely because I often walk in front of the palace that this is not easy to say, I think that the second uncle is probably already outside to greet guests at this time, I can't sit here for a long time, the eldest brother has not come back, and now there are two male hosts left in the house, me and the second uncle, how can I make him tired? The eldest brother he said is Jin Luanfeng, Jin Shi's son, who takes care of the Jin family's business and industry all the year round, only his wife and children are in the house, but he is a perennial dragon.
"Also, go quickly, your second uncle is stubborn, I'm afraid that those rich and noble sons are looking for you everywhere at this time." After Fang finished speaking with a smile, Jin Fengju didn't stand up before he heard someone outside the door: "Back to the old lady, Prince Rong sent the housekeeper to send a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
Mrs. Jin hurriedly said, "Let him come in." As the words fell, the children around them also stood up and craned their necks to look. Prince Rong Jin Yanqiu is a meticulous and proper person, every time she gives gifts, she is exhaustive, and even their little ones will not be left behind, so everyone is looking forward to it.
The housekeeper bowed in, first saw Jin Lao Taijun and Mrs. Jiang Jin Fengju and others, and bowed one by one, then unfolded a long gift list, and read aloud: "Prince Rong and Princess Rong worship the old lady Jun jade Ruyi two pairs, jade cabbage pairs, and five pairs of good jade jade bracelets...... " Reading like this, I read it for half an hour, and it was really exhaustive, and the unique Fu family and Jin Zangfeng Jin Zangjiao were not on the list.
Jin Fengju listened lightly, and regretted it a little in his heart, secretly saying that he might really be wrong, he shouldn't let the children come over with the Fu family at this time, they are still young, and when they hear that everyone has gifts, they even have other children, but they don't, what will they think? If I feel inferior everywhere because of this, isn't it because of my fault? Because I thought of this, I went to see the Jin Zangfeng brothers and sisters, but I saw that they didn't know what to say, their faces were full of smiles, and they couldn't see the slightest loss. No way, when I was seven or eight years old, I was still fighting with my eldest brother for toys.
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but look at Fu Qiuning, but she just looked at the children with a smile, and seemed to be very happy and proud of the two brothers and sisters. His heart warmed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to get up and leave again, but he heard Jiang Wanying smile and said, "Since the princess's gifts have been sent, I think we will all offer the gifts." Although it is the Dragon Boat Festival, not the birthday of the ancestors, I have carefully prepared this gift, so I naturally dare not compare with the princess, I only hope that the old lady will look at the heart of his granddaughter-in-law. After speaking, he ordered someone to carry an embroidered screen, and said with a smile: "This is a lotus picture that took two months to embroider, and now it is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the lotus flowers are beginning to appear, and they are placed in the ancestral room just in time." ”
Mrs. Jin said with a smile: "It's hard for you to think about it, in fact, there are a few pots of flowers and plants that I sent the day before yesterday, I already like it very much, why do you want to get this again at this time?" After speaking, his eyes glanced at Fu Qiuning.
Jiang Wanying couldn't help but be very embarrassed when she heard Old Taijun Jin say this, the flowers and plants were obviously forced from Fu Qiuning's room. coughed and laughed: "What is a few pots of flowers and plants?" It is sold everywhere, if the ancestors like it, I will buy a few good pots for you another day, and ask for some flowering azalea peony and peony, and put it in this room, a little red in the green, wouldn't it be more beautiful? After speaking, he heard the old lady smile lightly: "Really? It's good to listen to, but I like these green-leaved plants, although they are not as delicate as peony and peony, they are rare but simple, easy to feed, and they make people feel comfortable when they look at them.
Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Wanying and the others were "chuckling" in their hearts, and secretly said how could they sound like they had words? Because they all looked at Jin Fengju quietly. But when he stood up, he smiled and said, "If you want to give a gift to your grandmother, how can your grandson be left behind?" It just so happened that I got a picture of Wu Changchun's Guanyin before, and my grandson knew that my grandmother liked Wu Changchun's paintings, so she should naturally be filial. After speaking, he looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "But I don't know what my mother and second aunt gave to grandma?" ”
Mrs. Jiang scolded with a smile: "Our gift has been given a long time ago, and today is just to let you juniors do your best, I want to see what you give me when I go back." After speaking, he saw that the wives and concubines of the Xu family and Jin Luanfeng also came forward and presented their gifts one after another.
