Chapter 20: Irony

Early the next morning, Wen Jin got up and went to Chunrong Hall. I haven't been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a month, and I haven't done my filial piety by the old lady's side.

At first, Wen Jin did his filial piety by the old lady's side, indeed for himself. It's just that in the end, the old lady's kindness to her also made her more sincere.

The ginkgo leaves in the courtyard of Chuneido seem to be a little more golden, and when the breeze blows, the fan-shaped ginkgo leaves sway down like butterflies.

Today, Wen Jin wore a set of pink Luo skirts, the old people always like the juniors to wear more festive, and Wen Jin is also happy to do what he likes.

The bamboo leaves opened the curtain of Fushou embroidery, and Wen Jin walked into the inner room and felt a burst of warmth accompanied by the fragrant breeze. Wen Jin came just in time when the old lady had just finished dressing up.

Seeing Wen Jin coming, a smile immediately bloomed on the old lady's face, "Sister Wen, why did you come here so early?" ”

Wen Jin looked at the old lady's apricot-colored clothes and said with a smile, "My granddaughter was worried about Grandmother's breakfast here, so she came over early." ”

The old lady laughed a little when she heard this, and then instructed Mama Zhang to pass the meal.

After the meal, the old lady said tentatively to Wen Jin, "Sister Wen, there is no serious hostess in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and it will be difficult for the girl and Lu to talk about family affairs at that time, I don't know what you think in your heart?" ”

Wen Jin's face was well-behaved and calm, "The granddaughter listens to her grandmother for everything." ”

Although Wen Jin said this, he also knew that Aunt Song was no longer destined to be the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion. At first, she went back to her house in order to straighten Aunt Song. Now that the old lady is asking like this, it is obvious that she has no intention of correcting Aunt Song.

Wen Jin couldn't help but feel ironic for Aunt Song in his heart, thinking that Aunt Song had exhausted all her efforts to kill her mother and younger brother in her womb, but now the benefits are about to be handed over to her.

Wen Jin doesn't need to think about it to know, how can Aunt Song be willing? If the stepmother enters the door in the future, she will have to fight with Aunt Song openly and secretly.

When the old lady saw that Wen Jin was distracted, she didn't study it carefully, but said, "Grandmother is going to the palace today to meet the Queen Mother, and Sister Wen will also go back to her own courtyard to practice female red!" ”

Wen Jin realized the purpose of the old lady's dress today, so he saluted obediently, "Yes, the granddaughter will retire first." ”

Warm Pavilion, when it was close to noon, the autumn sun was also hot. Wen Jin sat comfortably on the swing in the courtyard.

Zhu Ye whispered back on the side, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss is walking towards Nuanwen Pavilion, and she will come over soon." ”

Wen Jin nodded slightly, signaling that he knew.

After a while, Yujin's voice came from the courtyard, "Eldest sister." ”

Wen Jin also raised his eyes and smiled, "Second sister is here." However, Wen Jin did not get up from the swing.

Although Yujin was annoyed in his heart and Wen Jin disdained to ignore himself, he did not forget his business. asked in a light tone, "Grandmother entered the palace today to meet the Queen Mother, does the eldest sister know what happened?" ”

Wen Jin smiled and replied, "I don't know what happened to my grandmother entering the palace. ”

Yujin looked incredulous, "You really don't know?" ”

Wen Jin continued, "Naturally, I don't know. ”

Yujin suddenly became annoyed, "Didn't you go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to point out a marriage for your father?" ”

"You're so scheming! knew that his father had the heart to correct Aunt Song, so he went to encourage his grandmother to remarry his father's stepfamily. ”

Wen Jin heard this, but suddenly laughed. She really didn't know, it turned out that Yujin was still so stupid?

Yujin saw Wen Jin laughing, and his anger was even more overflowing. "How dare you laugh?"

Wen Jin glared at Yujin coldly, and said, "I'm laughing at my sister's whimsical ability, isn't it good?" Not to mention whether I instigated my grandmother to remarry my father, and whether my father had the heart to correct Aunt Song. ”

"It's just that Fang Cai's sister's words, is it really my own wishful thinking? My sister has no evidence, can she speak to the eldest sister and question her just by her own delusions? ”

"Don't say I haven't done those things, even if I did? What did I do wrong? My sister is aggressive here now, but it's really easy to educate? ”

Yujin was speechless by Wen Jin for a while, only barely supporting his dignity, and threatened hatefully, "Let's see, you won't be complacent for too long." ”

Wen Jin showed a look of pity and sighed, "Alas! I don't have the heart to do evil, why does my sister have to do this? Is it what my sister wants to push the friendship between our sisters to a dead end? ”

Yujin looked annoyed and disgusted, "Now that there are no outsiders, why do you have to pretend like this?" The gap between you and me must be clear to you. ”

Wen Jin nodded in agreement, "What my sister said is that as soon as my sister returns home, my sister can't wait to steal my sister's dowry." Is the gap between us really deep? ”

Wen Jin suddenly stared at Yu Jin coldly, his eyes were as fierce and vicious as a poisoned knife.

Yu Jin couldn't help but be frightened by such a fierce look and took a step back. She didn't know why Wen Jin had such a terrible look. But she clearly realized that Wen Jin's hatred for her was almost to the point of dying.

The fierce look was fleeting, as if it hadn't happened. But Yujin understood it very well in his heart.

Wen Jin had already put on a smile on his face at this time, "If my sister has nothing else to do, let's go to Luoxue Yuan to comfort Aunt Song!" Aunt Song has been thinking about the position of the housewife for a long time, and now that she is giving it up, Aunt Song must feel uncomfortable. My sister must be comforted and comforted, so as not to let Aunt Song worry too much and hurt her younger brother in the womb. ”

Wen Jin's words were obviously said with a smile, and they were obviously light and fluttering without a trace of weight, but they made Yu Jin feel unprecedented pressure.

If Yujin heard correctly, then Wen Jin meant to let herself tell Aunt Song to protect the child in her womb and not let her succeed.

Yujin's face was panicked and depressed, she didn't know where Wen Jin got the courage to dare to say such a thing to herself.

Yujin came in a hurry, and also left in a hurry. She really didn't know what else she could say to such a Wen Jin.

A breeze blew, and the leaves of the hibiscus trees in the Nuan Wen Pavilion were blown off by the wind. A few leaves flew into Wen Jin's palm, Wen Jin looked at it quietly for a moment, then clenched his fists and crushed some dry leaves.

"Mother, brother, I will avenge you." This is the oath and obsession in Wen Jin's heart.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wen Jin always carries a protective shell on her body, and only in the Wenguo Mansion can she really be a little girl.

"Eldest sisterβ€”" Yun Jin called out loud.

Wen Jin came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly, "Why did my sister come over?" With that, Wen Jin stood up from the swing.

Yun Jin's face was serious, "Grandmother entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, presumably the eldest sister also knows." ”

Wen Jin nodded indifferently, "I do know about my grandmother's entry into the palace, but I don't know what it is." ”

Yun Jin's face was relaxed, "In short, it's not a bad thing for us." ”

Wen Jin smiled, "Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't necessarily happen now, let's wait and see!" ”

At lunchtime, the old lady still did not return. Wen Jin knew that the old lady must have been left by the Queen Mother for dinner.

The lunch in the Xiangfu is still the same dish, not extravagant and rich enough. It's just that after lunch, Zhu Ye brought a cup of medicinal food from the kitchen.

This was specially ordered by the old lady, and the eldest lady was cold and weak, so she specially opened up a small kitchen for daily medicinal nourishment.

Inside the plain white porcelain bowl, there is a medicinal meal that has just been poured out of the cup, Wen Jin does not know what is inside, but he knows that there are angelica, ginseng, wolfberry, and ejiao in it.

Holding his breath, Wen Jin drank the medicinal food that was not very tasty.

In the evening, the old lady finally returned from the palace. The family rushed to Chunrong Hall together.

The autumn wind blew, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees in the courtyard of Chuneido were rolled up, and after the wind passed, they fell to the ground in pieces.

The old lady sat on the chair, with a calm and relaxed look, drinking a cup of tea slowly, letting the people sitting below be in a hurry.

After all, the old lady still spoke, "Today I went into the palace to meet the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother for a reward." ”

The people below looked eager, waiting for the old lady's next words.

"Xiangye is here." Outside, there are maids preaching.

Everyone put their eyes on the door again, and after a while, Xiangye walked in with his hands behind his back and bowed to the old lady to say goodbye, "Say hello to my mother." ”

The old lady looked happy, "You came just in time, I have something to tell you?" ”

Xiangye sat down and said respectfully, "What does Mother command?" ”

The old lady laughed "hehe", and said, "Today I entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother for a favor, and when my Prime Minister chooses the candidate for the housewife, the Queen Mother will issue a decree to give marriage." ”

"The Queen Mother's decree is to give me dignity in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you have a favorite candidate, you can return it to the Queen Mother. ”

Hearing this, Su Jinyu couldn't help but think for a moment before saying, "It's all up to my mother." ”

The old lady smiled with relief, "If it's up to me to decide, I don't know if you will like it?" Now I'm just going to discuss with you, and it's up to you to decide what to do. ”

Su Jinyu said in a flat tone, "Does my mother have a favorite candidate?" ”

Of the people present, only Aunt Song looked nervous. If it is really up to the old lady to make the decision, then how can the housewife still have her share?

I hope that Xiangye will not agree, Aunt Song begged silently. As long as she gives birth to the eldest son of the Prime Minister seven months later, won't the position of the master mother be captured?
