Chapter 7: Greetings
Nuan Wen Pavilion, after Wen Jin came back from Chunrong Hall, he went directly to the inner room. Served by bamboo leaves and bamboo green. Others can't come closer.
Although Qiushui and Yueyue, the two big maids, were given by the old lady, Wen Jin did not value the two of them more because of the old lady.
In the inner room, Wen Jin had already taken off his coat and sat on the embroidery bench with only his middle coat, and Zhu Ye and Zhu Qing stood on the side to serve.
Wen Jin instructed, "In the evening, you can copy two more copies of the dowry list that my father gave me, and we will go to the treasury early tomorrow morning to check something." ”
This dowry list is eighty-one pages long, and it will take a lot of time to copy it, so Wen Jin instructed, "You go to the outside world to copy it, and you don't need to serve here." ”
"Yes." Zhu Ye and Zhu Qing respectfully responded, and gently retreated.
Wen Jin skillfully and flexibly played with his nine consecutive rings, which were given to him by the abbot of Jingkong when he was ten years old. also said that when the time comes, the nine links will be unraveled, and everything will have to be fate.
Although Wen Jin frowned, his mind was already no longer on this nine-even jade ring.
At today's dinner table, when her father said the word dowry, although Aunt Song concealed it very well, she still keenly saw the unwillingness on her face.
She could see it, but how could her father and grandmother not notice it? Today, my father will go to Aunt Li's place, and it's because of this, right?
Without further ado, in order to ensure that the dowry could be safely in her hands, she had to speed up.
Early in the morning of the second day, before breakfast, Wen Jin went to Chunrong Hall with Qiushui.
It is not yet late autumn, but there is still a layer of hoarfrost on the ground in the early morning, and it looks very beautiful from a distance.
Wen Jin's body has been cold since he was a child, and although he was wearing fox skin, his hands and feet were still cold along the way.
Qiu Ju in the old lady's yard came out to pour water, and when she saw the eldest lady coming, she hurriedly smiled and saluted, "Hello eldest lady, eldest lady came over so early, and the old lady hasn't combed her hair yet?" ”
The copper basin in Qiu Ju's hand was steaming, and as soon as Qiu Ju spoke, white heat came out of her mouth. Looking at it from a distance, there is a feeling of smoke.
Wen Jin wanted to laugh, and he did laugh, "It's just right, I'm going to serve my grandmother to comb her hair." ”
Qiushuang inside had already opened the curtain and walked out when she heard the movement, and said with a smile, "The old lady is thinking about the eldest lady, the eldest lady come in!" If it's cold, the old lady should feel distressed. ”
Wen Jin smiled, "The old lady is distressed, isn't it my sin?" As he spoke, he quickened his pace.
The autumn breeze is cold outside, but the inner room is warm like spring. Wen Jincha walked in, and he actually felt a special sense of satisfaction.
The old lady had already combed her hair and was just waiting to put on her jewelry.
Wen Jin hurriedly said in the back, "Grandmother, granddaughter is here to make hairpin jewelry for you." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Sister Wen is really early, so come over quickly!" ”
Wen Jin stepped forward quickly, and safely picked up the jewelry on the table for the old lady to wear. The fingers touched the old lady's skin.
After wearing the hairpin ring, the old lady took Wen Jin's hand and said distressedly, "Why are your hands so cold?" How do the people around me serve, and I don't know how to warm up a soup woman. ”
Qiushui hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Wen Jin hurriedly said, "Old lady, this is not their business, it is not yet the season to gather charcoal, and I don't want to support them to go to find charcoal now, saving the trouble at home." ”
"Besides, it's not cold outside, it's just that I've been cold and weak since I was a child. And when I came, the maid put on a fox fur for me. ”
Wen Jin said, but the old lady's face became unsightly. In a stiff tone, he said, "You don't have to excuse them. In short, let the master be cold, it is not their maid. ”
As she spoke, the old lady said solemnly, "Sister Wen, you are too good-natured." Since you want to make charcoal fire, just send the maid to the public to say it, so what's the trouble and not the trouble. You are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can't you still make the charcoal fire? ”
Wen Jin Zhengse said, "What my grandmother taught is very good, and my granddaughter remembers it." Thank you grandmother for your love. ”
When the old lady saw that Wen Jin understood what she meant, she smiled lovingly. "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you come here so early? Use with grandmother. ”
The old lady said, but she was very happy. She eats by herself on weekdays, but it is too lonely.
Wen Jin smiled obediently, "My granddaughter came to my grandmother to eat, I didn't expect my grandmother to be happy?" The granddaughter came every day after that. ”
The old lady smiled and said, "If you are willing to accompany my old woman, my old woman can't ask for it?" ”
After a while, the maid put breakfast on the table. Breakfast at Xiangfu is very simple, just a small dish of porridge, plus a noodle dish such as crystal shrimp dumplings and steamed buns.
Wen Jin loved this crystal shrimp dumpling very much, and after eating two more between breakfasts, he was seen by the old lady.
After breakfast, the old lady pulled Wen Jin and talked about family life. It's nothing more than asking Wen Jin about his life in the Lin Mansion.
After chatting for half an hour, Wen Jincai said, "Grandmother, my father gave the key to the treasury and the dowry list to his granddaughter yesterday, and the granddaughter wanted to open the treasury today to check it. ”
When the old lady heard this, her face became serious, and she patiently instructed, "You just lead the maid to check it, and I'll let Mama Zhang accompany you." When the check is correct, set a good day, and let people move to Nuanwen Pavilion. ”
The old lady loved Wen Jin so much, Wen Jin was very moved in her heart, so she said with a sincere face, "Thank you for the old lady's love, and my granddaughter is grateful." ”
The old lady had a loving look on her face, "Silly boy, that's what you originally wanted." ”
"I miss your mother, when the deadline is approaching, my only last wish is to hope that you can be happy." The old lady said this, and there was a sad look on her face.
Wen Jin was also rendered in a sad atmosphere. The old lady has a very good relationship with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wen Jin knows it, and now it seems that it is really true, she can't help but be good on the surface, and she has true feelings.
Otherwise, the old lady would not love herself.
When the old lady said this, she seemed to be caught in a sad memory, "I think that back then, your mother was eight months pregnant, accidentally fell, and after a male fetus, she was riddled with diseases, and finally died. And that boy was born without breath. ”
"I've seen it, it's a white chubby boy! O my poor daughter-in-law and grandson! The more the old lady talked, the more excited she became, and in the end she was persuaded by Wen Jin.
