On the ground, although the snow that had fallen for a few days had already melted, it could not hide the cold, and the pedestrians on the street were not as lively as before.

At this moment, all the rooms were gathered in Jingde Courtyard, and Mrs. Su was wearing an eggplant purple satin gown, sitting in the middle, and she couldn't hide the joy between her eyebrows. Fu Yinghua and Shen Manxin sat on both sides, next to Mrs. Su, while the maids stood neatly on the side and waited. Jin Zhao sat next to Fu, she took a closer look at her mother, different from the past, a little powder, and the clothes were also selected with a brighter color, Jin Zhao understood that this is because his father is coming back today, so he dressed up, but it is extremely delicate and proper, no wonder, with his mother's appearance.

Jin Zhao glanced at the other side lightly, compared to his mother, Shen Manxin can be said to be carefully dressed, not to mention that the clothes are new styles, and he wears a few more jewelry than usual. As for Su Jinling, Jin Zhao couldn't understand it anymore, on such an important day today, how could Su Jinling be willing to be left behind and be that low-key person. The upper body is a pink cloud brocade, and the lower body is a jade sprinkled flower pleated skirt, which is indeed the most festive one among the people.

At this time, I accidentally touched Fu's gaze, and I seemed a little helpless, but I didn't blame her, probably because I thought she was dressed too elegantly today.

If it was in her previous life, she would have dressed herself up in a fancy way, she thought it would be good-looking.

However, Jin Zhao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her dress, because she knew that today's protagonist was her father, and she just wanted to sit quietly in the corner and be the least noticeable one, so she didn't want to go out of her way to attract attention.

Su Jinling said at this moment: "By the way, the last time my grandmother asked Liu's mother to send the fabric, my grandson liked it very much."

After speaking, Mrs. Su squinted her eyes and said with a kind gaze: "If you like it, those fabrics are all selected by Mother Liu herself." As she spoke, she paused, carefully looked at Su Jinling's clothes, and said, "Isn't your dress made of the fabric you sent last time?" ”

Mrs. Su is also a sixty-year-old person, and she still looks so energetic, and her memory is as good as ever. Moreover, she had also seen those fabrics in person, so she naturally remembered some of them.

Su Jinling looked down at the clothes on her body, nodded with a smile and said, "Grandmother, this new dress on Jinling's body is made of the fabrics sent by Liu's mother, and the grandson hasn't thanked his grandmother yet."

Old Madam Su smiled and waved her hand: "You kid, what do you say thank you for, I should choose a few pieces of fabric for my granddaughter, I'm afraid you don't like it, just like it."

People are like this, they always hope that what they send out, others will like it, and it will not be in vain to choose before.

Su Jinling responded: "I like everything my grandmother gave, but it's just ......" As she spoke, the conversation suddenly changed, "I thought that my eldest sister would wear new clothes like me to welcome my father back, but I was wrong."

The voice was not loud, but Jin Zhao heard every word.

It seems that she didn't mean to say it, but in fact, she was the most scheming, why did she look away at the beginning, and thought that Su Jinling was really well-behaved on the surface. Hmph, it's really a set in front of people and a set in the back.

Listening to Su Jinling's words, everyone's eyes looked at Jin Zhao for a while. Even her mother looked at her a little differently.

Old Madam Su said loudly: "Doesn't Jin Zhao like the fabric I sent?"

Fabric, not only Su Jinling has it, but also Jinzhao and his younger brother. It's just that the fabric sent by my grandmother is still in Mu Jinyuan, and it hasn't been touched at all.

At this time, Fu Shi also asked: "Are you stumped by other things, and you haven't had time to make clothes yet."

Fu Shi said that he was asking her, but he was actually worried that she would not explain well and chill the old man's heart.

Jin Zhao did not follow her mother's wishes, she explained: "It is precisely because my grandmother gave me that I am reluctant to make clothes, and it is better to keep them by my side, if I make clothes, there will always be an old day when I wear them." What's more, I still have enough clothes to wear, and I am not in a hurry to use them for clothes. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Su couldn't hide a smile on her face, and said: "What stupid things are you kidding, as the saying goes, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, I thought you didn't like those fabrics."

Shen Manxin on the side joked: "When did the eldest lady start to be thrifty, this is not like you on weekdays."

This sounds like no problem, but when you listen carefully, it has a deep meaning. The implication is that she doesn't usually pay attention to frugality.

Before she could speak, the mother on the side listened, her face was not very good for a while, and she said in a rather unhappy tone: "Is it? I don't know what our Jin Zhao'er is like in your eyes on weekdays. As he spoke, his eyes turned to Mrs. Su, "Mother doesn't know, Jin Zhao'er has been sensible and filial recently, and she specially cooked for me before, and the meals she cooked were also quite delicious and attractive, Jin Zhao knew that the general was back today, and she was personally responsible for this banquet." The daughter-in-law was worried that she wouldn't be able to take care of her, so she wanted Feng's mother to help her, but she didn't expect to be refused, saying that she would cook in person to show sincerity. This kid is really getting more sensible. ”

After hearing this, Old Madam Su looked at Jin Zhao's eyes with approval, she smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I don't even know when Jin Zhao learned to be a good cook."

Jin Zhao originally wanted to sit quietly and listen to them, but she didn't want her mother to praise her cooking skills, so she had to reply: "Back to grandmother, my grandson is just drawing gourds according to books, and he can't get on the table."

Who knows, Mrs. Su waved her hand and said: "Yinghua praises your cooking skills, I don't think it's too bad, don't be modest with you, this kid, grandmother will have a good taste of your craftsmanship later."

At this time, Shen Manxin also echoed: "What the old lady said is that the eldest lady's craftsmanship, we should taste it well."

Jin Zhao glanced at her and said, "I heard that my aunt has always paid attention to food on weekdays, so I'm afraid that what Jin Zhao does is not to your taste."

The corners of Shen Manxin's mouth stiffened, and finally said with an embarrassed face: "How could it be, the eldest lady said with a smile."

Jin Zhao only smiled and did not speak.

While speaking, a small Si hurriedly ran in, and after saluting everyone first, he replied: "Old lady, the general is back, and the people have already entered the mansion."

Old Madam Su squinted, and said with a smile on her face, "It's finally back."

With that, everyone craned their necks and looked at the door, their eyes full of anticipation.
