Eleven Niang glanced at the pearl bracelet in Sister Zhen'er's hand out of the corner of her eyes, only to feel sour in her heart, and then looked at Sister Zhen looking at herself with a red face, her eyes were a little timid, cute and distressing, and her heart was soft, so she stepped forward and took Sister Zhen'er's hand: "It's beautiful!" ”

Sister Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, her expression was much more relaxed than just now.

"However, this beaded flower is a bit ordinary to wear. I have a kind of red gold chrysanthemum hairpin there, and I will find it for you to wear. ”

Sister Zhen looked at Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai bowed her head slightly and said, "Since your mother rewarded you, you can take it." ”

Sister Zhen thanked Eleven Niang in a low voice, looking ashamed.

Brother Zhen looked at it and called Sister Zhen: "...... Where to go? ”

Shi Niang smiled and bent down to touch his head: "I have something to do with my sister, you accompany your grandmother." ”

Brother Zhen pouted on the side: "I'm going too!" ”

"I'll take you next time." Eleven Niang smiled and saluted Mrs. Tai, took Sister Zhen to her house, and found the pair of red chrysanthemum hairpins the size of wine glasses to put on for her, and the whole person was a lot brighter.

Only then did Eleven Niang find out that Sister Zhen did not have pierced her ears. smiled: "I pierced my ears when I passed Laba!" Another small red gold earring came out, "It will be healed in a month at most." In the spring, when we go out, we can wear earrings. ”

Sister Zhen blushed and muttered that she didn't know what to say.

Eleven Niang pulled her to the east room.

"We'll entertain Mrs. Lin here. You just need to follow me when the time comes, watch us adults talk, and smile at Sister Hui when she is bored. It's okay to have a chance to say a couple of words, but don't interject when an adult is talking. ”

Sister Zhen nodded solemnly: "I remember!" ”

"When you speak, you have to pick up what the other party is interested in. Don't just talk about yourself. In this way, others will be interested in continuing to talk......" Eleven Niang explained some small details in bits and pieces, and Xiulan came in: "Madam, the carriage of the Lin Mansion has arrived at the gate. ”

Eleven Niang brought Sister Zhen to greet her in the main hall.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin took a little girl who was about the same age as Sister Zhen. The red multicolored carved silk jacket, the royal blue floor-length skirt, the snow-white little face is tight, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are solemn, and it can be seen that he is not very happy.

I think it's Sister Hui of the Lin family.

Eleven Niang glanced at Sister Zhen'er.

Sister Zhen'er's expression was shocked, as if she was frightened by Sister Hui'er's appearance.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile slightly.

The women around her are all low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, probably never thought that someone would have such an expression!

Eleven Niang smiled and greeted Mrs. Lin and Lin Da*, and introduced Sister Zhen and Sister Hui to each other.

Sister Hui'er's face was slightly gloomy, and she greeted Sister Zhen generously.

Although Sister Zhen looks a little shy, she also behaves elegantly and has a degree of advance and retreat.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin looked very fond of it, one gave a jade plate of mutton fat jade to Sister Zhen as a meeting gift, and the other gave a pair of Nanzhu beads as a meeting gift. Of course, Eleven Niang couldn't be stingy, and sent a jade jade cicada to Sister Hui'er.

Everyone moved to the ear room next to the main hall to drink tea, and then went to Mrs. Tai's side to greet Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Lin stayed at Mrs. Tai's place, and Da * Grandma and Sister Hui went to the upper room where Eleven Niang lived, and sat on the big kang near the window in the east room, and Sister Hui and Sister Zhen each sat on the brocade beside their mother.

The maids brought tea and snacks. Lin Da* and Eleven Niang chatted for a few words, and then got to the point: "...... I want you to help me point out the embroidery. He also said to Sister Hui'er, "Mrs. Yongping Hou has obtained the true inheritance of the Immortal Silk Pavilion, you have to follow and learn well." ”

When Lin Da*'s grandmother spoke, Eleven Niang kept observing Sister Hui'er's expression, and saw that impatience flashed in her eyes, knowing that she didn't think so. smiled at Sister Hui: "It is small to say that learning embroidery is small, mainly because our two families live next door, but you and our sister Zhen don't know each other...... Just find a chance for you to meet. ”

Sister Hui was stunned when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Sister Zhen.

Sister Zhen'er blushed slightly and smiled at her.

Sister Hui'er's face softened a lot.

When Grandma Lin heard Eleven Niang say this, anxiety flashed on her face. Eleven Niang took advantage of Sister Hui'er to look at Sister Zhen'er and glanced at Lin Da*'s grandmother.

What his daughter thinks in her heart, Lin Da*'s milk is naturally clear. But she can't do this for a reason, she has to be beaten and scolded, and she has to learn more or less. Otherwise, if you marry into your in-law's family, you will only be looked down upon. can become a grandmother, there is no one who is not a clever person, seeing Shi Niang looking at herself, she swallowed the words to her mouth immediately, and saw that her daughter's attitude was not as blunt as just now, knowing that Shi Niang's words worked, so she nodded slightly towards Shi Niang and said no more.

Eleven Niang smiled and said, "What kind of pastime does Sister Hui have on weekdays?" ”

Sister Hui'er's eyes showed vigilance. He got up politely and said respectfully: "I like to read books the most, especially historical records." ”

Eleven Niang was very surprised, but also curious, and said with a smile: "What are the most impressive?" ”

"Tongjian." Sister Hui'er's eyes suddenly brightened, "What happened in thousands of years is right in front of you, what an interesting thing......"

Lin Da*'s grandmother coughed lightly when she listened, and Sister Hui suddenly felt bored, but she still changed the topic and asked Sister Zhen with a smile: "What pastime does my sister have on weekdays?" ”

Sister Zhen glanced at Eleven Niang quickly, and saw that she had been looking at herself with a smile, so she smiled and said, "I like to play the piano." ”

Sister Hui immediately smiled: "It's a pity that I don't have a piano, otherwise I can listen to my sister's Yayin." He added, "I like pipa, and I like Xiao." Both instruments can be carried with you for your convenience. I knew that my sister liked to play the piano, so I should have brought Xiao Lai to make a song with my sister. ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Another day, Sister Hui brought Xiao to come again!" ”

Sister Hui said generously: "I will definitely come again!" ”

Eleven Niang chatted with her for a few words, not mentioning a word about embroidery, and she gradually relaxed. After saying it for a long time, Shi Niang took a sip of the tea in her hand, and then took a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Sister Hui couldn't help but glance at her handkerchief.

The base of the white silk is embroidered with green vines around it, and the vines are interspersed with blooming peony flowers. This peony flower is different from the general embroidery method, it only embroiders an outline, and then the petals in it are cut into wisps, which looks different.

This is what Eleven Niang specially found out from the bottom of the box.

But she only glanced at it, and immediately looked away, as if the veil was some kind of poison, and looked like she was not in a hurry.

Eleven Niang secretly thought it was funny.

Sister Hui is really a very smart girl.

Everyone said a few more words, Mother Du is here, please go to Mrs. Tai's side for dinner.

Lin Da * Milk and Eleven Niang walked in front, Sister Hui and Sister Zhen stood side by side, and the group went to Mrs. Tai.

Eleven Niang stepped forward quickly with Lin Da's grandmother's hand and threw the two small ones away for a distance. Only then did he say in a low voice: "This matter is not urgent, you can only take your time." ”

Lin Da * smiled bitterly: "I don't know." It's just that she does everything smoothly, and she can't get started, and she is annoyed by herself, and she has no patience to learn. When you come and go, you naturally have a headache when you look at it. ”

It's like a decathlon student who can't cook. It's not that I don't have food, but I feel that it's a waste of energy, and I am even more unwilling to spend energy on doing this, and if it's not true, I can't do it well.

Eleven Niang said in a low voice: "Big * milk must be more patient." ”

Sister Zhen and Sister Hui in the back spoke: "Do you spend a lot of energy studying on weekdays? ”

Sister Hui nodded: "That's nature." There's nothing more fun than reading a book. ”

Sister Zhen smiled: "I used to spend a lot of energy playing the piano. I used to practice in the Shaohua Courtyard where my second aunt lived, and in the back garden, I wouldn't make noise with others. Later, the fifth aunt raised the fetus in the back garden, so she didn't play it too much. ”

"Your second aunt, is that the one who wrote "Eight Essences"?" Sister Hui said curiously, "Everyone said that she was a widow at a young age. I think it's good that she's doing this way, and she can devote herself to her studies. ”

Sister Zhen interrupted her: "The second aunt is an elder, and it is inconvenient for us to discuss her affairs as a junior." ”

Sister Hui saw that she was honest and unpretentious, and she was much more comfortable than being with several aunts in the family, so she became friends. Immediately apologized: "It's me who didn't think it through." ”

Sister Zhen saw that she was generous and upright, and she also liked it very much. He smiled at her, forgiving her for her unintentional words.

Sister Hui smiled and said: "Your back garden is so big, if you want to practice the piano, if she is in the east, you will go to the west, and if she is in the west, you will go to the east." Because you don't practice like this, you're being too careful. ”

Sister Zhen thought about it and said with a smile: "What my sister said is reasonable. I've never thought about it. In fact, because Brother Zhen was with her, she didn't dare to go into the garden. If there is a case, I am afraid that I and Aunt Wen will not survive!

Sister Hui smiled and said, "Why don't you come to our house tomorrow to play?" I live alone in a courtyard, and it's very empty, so you can come and practice. ”

Sister Zhen was quite moved.

She grew so old that she only went out once in her memory - when she was nine years old, she followed Mrs. Tai to Huguo Temple to offer incense.

But when I think of Brother Zhen...... Her heart went cold again. Wanyan refused: "This requires mother's consent!" ”

Sister Hui winked at her: "Look at me!" ”

Sister Zhen was shocked, afraid that she would say something to misunderstand Eleven Niang, and was about to say something, Sister Hui said: "Don't worry, I know she is your stepmother and will not embarrass you." I'll give you a post tomorrow, and she'll agree to let you go to our house for the sake of face. ”

"She's been very nice to me." Sister Zhen hurriedly said, "Don't embarrass her. ”

Sister Hui'er's eyes widened when she heard this, and she felt that Sister Zhen was kind at heart and very pitiful-no matter how good her stepmother was, she was not her biological mother after all. Although she is straightforward, she was also born in the family of the secretary of state, and she knows the importance of it.

"Don't worry!" Sister Hui smiled, "I won't embarrass you." In my heart, I feel that Sister Zhen is a real and honest person, much better than the people around her.

The adults and children went to Mrs. Tai's place.

Brother Zhen saw Sister Hui'er's eyes wide open, and he kept looking at her curiously.

Everyone met the ceremony, had a meal, Mrs. Tai entertained Mrs. Lin to rest in her warm pavilion, and Eleven Niang and Lin Da * Grandma took the two little girls to go to Eleven Niang's residence.

Brother Zhen pulled the corner of Sister Zhen'er's clothes, Mrs. Tai persuaded a few words, but it had no effect at all, in front of the Lin family, it was naturally not easy to train the child, Eleven Niang smiled: "Let him go with us, you can also have a good rest." ”

Mrs. Tai reluctantly agreed, but asked all the people in front of Brother Zhen to come over to serve.
