Chapter 116: Bait
Yan Shaoning didn't give Hua Chen a chance to be modest at all, he said with pride on his face and emotion: "And my little niece, it's really hanging by a thread......
Hua Jin shook his head helplessly.
It's just that Yan Shaoning's words brought Hua Jin back to that thrilling moment, that hard and warm embrace.
What are you thinking?
Hua Jin came back to his senses, raised his lips slightly, and showed a self-deprecating smile.
Yan Yuke, who was sitting next to her, saw Song Junming on the other side of the blue yarn cabinet looking over, and lowered her head a little shyly and smiled.
The blue and white yarn covers the human face hazy.
Hazy age, hazy heart......
"Seeing that she was about to be devoured by tongues of fire, she suddenly ......"
At this time, Mrs. Yan was helped in by Peony and Narcissus, and she shook the dragon head crutch in her hand, "Let you go to the ancestral hall, why are you still here?" As an elder, you don't have a serious appearance, and our Yan family's face has made you lose it. ”
Jiang Shi, who was following closely behind, hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Yan to sit, "Mother, this kneeling ancestral hall is kneeling for a day in the morning, and kneeling for a day in the evening, so it's better to let him kneel again tomorrow, it's rare for everyone to get together today." ”
Seeing Mrs. Song Min behind Jiang, Mrs. Yan raised her eyes and glanced at the end of the blue yarn cupboard, and saw that Yan Shaoning was already sitting there neatly, so she didn't say anything.
Although the purpose of the Min family with Song Junming was not broken, it was also tacitly understood, and the two families were afraid that they would exchange Geng posts after the year, and there was no reason for the future in-laws to see the joke.
Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the Min family entered the mansion, he had already taken Song Junming to meet the old lady, and at this time, he stepped forward to ask for peace with a smile.
It's just that when she saw Hua Hui and Hua Jin standing beside Yan Yuke, there was a touch of invisible disgust in her eyes, and she was looked at by Hua Jin at all.
What is the relationship between this Min family and her and her sister, so that she can treat her with such eyes?
At the other end of the blue yarn cupboard, the topic has changed from being in distress on the road just now to the imperial examination.
Min's face showed a touch of pride, "Our brother Ming has never let me worry about my studies since I was a child, and this time I was able to get a Xie Yuan in one fell swoop, obviously it was the result of his hard study, but he said that he was lucky!" ”
Lifting Song Junming, Mrs. Yan's face also showed a look of affection, "Brother Ming is a good boy." ”
Jiang Shi also said: "It's Brother Ming who is too modest, Xie Yuan is the first in the whole Shandong, which is obtained by luck." ”
Min's face was even more proud, and Yan Yuke lowered his head slightly.
The mother-in-law in charge quickly brought the maids to set the meal.
Needless to say, the dishes are rich, but Hua Jin's mind is on how to cast the net.
When dinner was over and everyone was sitting and drinking tea, Hua Jin took Bai Peach and Zhi Tao out of the open hall and went to the inverted room at the back of Xuanyun Ju.
At this time, Chen's mother was packing up the things she was going to bring for tomorrow's family visits, and when she saw Hua Jin coming in, she was busy, "Why did the fifth girl come here, it's good if someone comes to call the old slave if there is something." ”
Hua Jin smiled slightly, "Now that everyone is busy, it's quiet here." ”
Mother Chen knew that she had something to say, so she hurriedly swept the kang with a small broom, "The fifth girl sat down and talked. ”
White Peach and Peach hurriedly went to guard the door.
Hua Jin picked up the cute little tiger hat that Chen's mother was about to put into the baggage, "This is made by Chen's mother?" ”
Mother Chen nodded, a smile overflowing on her face, "The slave maid has three younger brothers, and the third brother's family has just added a little grandson. ”
A hint of hesitation crossed Hua Jin's face.
Mother Chen said again: "The fifth girl has something to tell the old slave, and the girl knows the old slave's ......."
"Mother Chen, I know your loyalty to us."
Hua Jin no longer hesitated, and said that he suspected that Luo had planted eyeliner in Yan's mansion.
"The fifth girl wants to dig this person out?"
"It's easy to dig up this person, and now I want to use her as bait...... But this is the Yan family. ”
Mother Chen thought for a moment and said, "Although the old slave has been away from the house for many years, there are still two old sisters here, if the fifth girl wants to ......."
Hua Jin shook his head, "This is the Yan Mansion after all. ”
"The five girls might as well tell Mrs. Jiang about this. When Mrs. died, it was the funeral of my uncle and Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang cried and fainted for her wife, this relationship will not be fake. ”
That's what Huajin wants to know.
She couldn't bear to alarm her grandmother, but this was in the Yan family, and it was always bad to do things behind her back.
If you can get the support of the wife of the Yan family, things will naturally be much easier.
Hua Jin raised his lips and smiled, "I'll go to my aunt when the guests leave." ”
But I saw that Chen's mother threw all the things on the kang that had not been completely cleaned up into the cabinet, "Tomorrow, the old slave will not go back first, stay and help the five girls." ”
Hua Jin knew that the result would be like this, so he was a little reluctant to say it at first, which made Chen's mother postpone going home to visit relatives.
"Mother Chen's ......"
"The old slave must stay and take care of the second aunt, the fourth young master and the fifth girl. The old slave promised his wife such a thing, but he had not done it yet. ”
Hua Jin was moved, "Mother Chen, you have done a good job." ”
"The old slave won't go back tomorrow." Chen's mother said stubbornly.
Hua Jin heard that people will be like children when they are old, so they no longer persuade each other, and asked instead: "Mother Chen, Mrs. Song, does she know me and my sister?" ”
At this time, Chen's mother was bending over to pick up the tiger head hat that had fallen on the ground, and when she heard Hua Jin ask, the movement of her hand paused, and the green tendons on the back of her hand jumped.
It turns out that there is really a relationship.
Hua Jin waited for Chen's mother to come to his side, sighed and said, "The old slave didn't want to talk about this matter, but the girl asked, and the old slave can't lie." ”
Hua Jin listened attentively.
"That Mrs. Song's husband, Song Xi......" Chen's mother paused.
Hua Jin had already guessed eight or nine points.
"Your mother and Song Xi have been childhood sweethearts since childhood."
Hua Jin continued: "But because my grandfather saved my grandfather, my grandfather wanted to repay the favor and marry his only daughter to the Zhang family, so he naturally broke up my mother and Master Song, the childhood sweethearts. ”
Chen's mother bowed.
The Min family is so resentful, presumably Master Song has not forgotten his mother.
This is the sadness of the inability of marriage in this era.
The Min family knew the reason, and they were still willing to come to the door to ask to marry the daughter of the Yan family, presumably because of the Yan family's solid family background.
Hua Jin had no intention of thinking about other people's affairs, so he got up, "I'll go to my aunt's place in a while." ”
Chen's mother also carried the lantern and came out.
walked to the center of the courtyard, just in time for the Xuanyun Hall to disperse.
Jiang is taking Yan Yuxi and Yan Yuke to send Min and Song Junming out.
Both Jiang and Min had different levels of smiles on their faces.
Although she doesn't like the Min family very much, Song Junming is an excellent person in terms of appearance, knowledge, and speech, and she is a good match for her cousin Yan Yuke.
Hua Jin couldn't help but raise his lips and show a blessed smile, and gave a farewell salute to the elder of the Min family.
