Chapter Twenty-Three: Not Only Bad, But Stupid
Su Jinyin's family has not a few sisters, although she does not have a sibling sister, but there are five sisters.
It's just that compared with the cousins of the Zheng family, the daughter of the Su family is not enough.
Su Jinyin swept over at a glance, these cousins could not be counted clearly with the fingers of two hands.
There are many people, and the mouth is mixed.
Without waiting for Su Jinyin to react, some of the Zheng girls in the group opened their mouths to inquire about her identity.
"Who are you?"
This sound is quite naΓ―ve and reckless.
There are also those who are the first to answer.
"I know. She must be my aunt's cousin!"
Su Jinyin had very few dealings with her grandfather's family in her previous life, and the most she could have a vague impression of was a few cousins who were older than herself. And these immature cousins, she almost all rely on Meng.
I wasn't sure which of these cousins belonged to my uncle, so Su Jinyin saluted and greeted them in unison.
It's just that I didn't expect that the incident of who this cousin was didn't make Su Jinyin confused for too long.
"Do you think I should call her cousin, or sister-in-law?"
"You can shout whatever you want. Anyway, I'll call my sister-in-law at most. β
The Zheng girls snickered while peeking at Su Jinyin's expression.
Su Jinyin didn't seem to hear it, and there was no change in expression on his face.
Zheng Xiuwen also noticed this. He secretly sighed in his heart: This cousin has excellent endurance. Don't be angry like that.
Actually, where is this not a sign of anger. Su Jinyin just felt that now that he was in the Zheng family, the elders of the Zheng family should be in charge of everything.
Of course, if the Zheng family completely ignores this matter, she will naturally use her own way to ask for an explanation.
Su Jinyin believes that this matter is not yet at this time.
Her gaze fell on Old Madam Zheng. Old Madam Zheng has been silent since her granddaughters came in. When she heard these two jokes, she only fell on the Buddhist scriptures copied by Su Jinyin.
Miss Zheng didn't know how to get scared in front of Su Jinyin, and asked more bluntly: "Cousin Yin, do you want to be our sister-in-law?"
Su Jinyin looked back at this apricot-eyed cousin: "Is my cousin talking about me?"
The Zheng girls were speechless in unison. They made fun of them for a long time, and the other party was talking empty words as if they were talking about themselves.
"Of course we're talking about you, cousin Yin. If not you, who are you talking about?" said a pair of Zheng girls who looked exactly the same.
Su Jinyin looked back at them and replied thoughtfully: "It turns out that my cousins still like to play housekeeping games now. Forgive my cousin's atmosphere in the capital is not as good as that in Usu, these jokes are not so serious. β
"Apologize to your cousin. Such a big person, one by one, has not yet gotten the right line. Pure said some nonsense. Old Madam Zheng finally spoke, and made a final decision on this matter.
Several Zheng girls looked at each other a few times, but in the end, no one dared to contradict.
The twins were the first to admit their mistake: "Cousin Yin, we are young and ignorant, please forgive us." β
Several other people who had made fun of Su Jinyin also came to apologize: "Cousin Yin, I was wrong." β
"Cousin Yin, we were wrong. β
Su Jinyin looked back at everyone with a smile and said, "They are all brothers and sisters, where can there be any overnight enmity between each other." Besides, it doesn't matter if you just talk about it at home. β
Su Jinyin's words were very generous, but Old Madam Zheng heard the voice.
She said to the granddaughters in front of her with a heavy face: "I don't want to hear these wordless words a second time. If you can't do it at home, don't talk nonsense outside. β
Old Madam Zheng was not small in the Zheng family, and the fear on the faces of those Zheng girls came out at once.
Su Jinyin stood next to him, as if he was an outsider.
And another person who was not involved in this matter also set his eyes on Su Jinyin.
Zheng Xiuwen felt that this cousin was really an interesting person. She is obviously not to be outdone, but she has such good endurance.
At first, my grandmother let these younger sisters in the family arrange it randomly, undoubtedly to test this cousin.
But Zheng Xiuwen was watching, and it was probably not just his grandmother who was tempting people. He believed that his cousin was also testing his grandmother at the same time, otherwise he would not have said something like that to make his grandmother stand for him.
And the people who observe Su Jinyin are actually far more than those in this hall.
In another courtyard of the Zheng family, someone was also listening to various reports about Su Jinyin.
"Mother, you still send someone to the capital to inquire, what happened to the Su family's inner house?"
Zheng Duozhi didn't wait for the people to finish, and eagerly said to his mother, the second lady of the Zheng family.
Second Mrs. Zheng didn't pay attention to her son, but urged her subordinates: "You go on, what did the old lady say later?"
Listening to these things that happened in Mrs. Zheng's courtyard, Zheng Duozhi became even more anxious. He looked at his mother worriedly and asked, "Mother, what do you mean by grandmother? She is repentant and is not ready to propose to the Su family for me?"
Second Madam Zheng did not speak, but gently tapped the table with the ring she wore on her finger.
After knocking more than a dozen times, she instructed her subordinates: "You go down first." Continue to keep an eye on everything about my cousin, and then report back to me. β
The subordinate nodded hurriedly and left.
Zheng Duozhi felt that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but his mother did not react.
"Mother, I really didn't fall in love with Su Jinyin's appearance. Although she is good-looking, I mainly heard that my uncle is now quite favored before the saint. Su Jinyin is his only daughter-in-law, if I marry her, my uncle will help me more than a nephew. Zheng Duozhi dissected his inner path.
Second Mrs. Zheng smiled and pushed a plate of peach blossom cake next to her to Zheng Duozhi. She replied, "Of course Mother understands you. It's just that the twisted melon is not sweet. If this Su Jinyin really doesn't have a mind for you, you don't have to waste too much time on her. β
Looking at her son lovingly, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Second Lady Zheng's face: "Such blind and blind people deserve to be punished. β
Zheng Duozhi heard that Second Mrs. Zheng wanted to embarrass Su Jinyin, and there was no displeasure in his heart. Instead, he asked expectantly, "Mother, what are you going to do?" That maid last night really made Cousin Yin hungry all night. Is it going to go on tonight?"
Second Lady Zheng smiled and replied, "You don't have to repeat the old trick. What her mother wants is that she and the long house are both defeated. β
Zheng Duozhi's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he offered advice to his mother: "Mother is planning to let Su Jinyin go to his aunt's side to be an eyesore, which will not only disturb his aunt's recuperation, but also let Su Jinyin learn a lesson?"
Second Mrs. Zheng shook her head, her face was unfathomable: "I won't use such a straightforward way." Wang's illness is best never healed. β
