Ming Jiazhen stiffened with a smile, "What did my sister say!" Of course, my sister didn't mean that, my sister was able to come to the Spring Festival banquet, and I was very happy for my sister. ”

"Really?"

Ming Lanying stared at her with a smile, staring at the bottom of people's hearts, and Ming Jiazhen stepped forward directly to hold one of her hands.

"My sister is a newcomer, and I definitely haven't met my sisters yet, so I'll introduce my sister one by one!"

Ming Lanying withdrew her hand without a trace, and smiled apologetically at Mrs. Zhang next to her, "Trouble Mrs. Zhang to lead the way, I'll be fine with my seventeenth sister." ”

In the past, Miss Ming and Mrs. Ye were shouting on the street, but now they have to be sisters in front of others, and Ming Lanying feels that she is not hypocritical.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded and went back to her life, only then did Ming Jiazhen find Hebai and Ning'er behind her and exclaimed.

"Sister, whose family is this child?"

"My son." Ming Lanying pushed Ning'er to her, Hebai didn't want to confront Ming Jiazhen, so she dodged sideways, "Ning'er, call your aunt." ”

"Hello aunt."

Ming Jiazhen was stunned, Ning Er had just received Hebai's hint, and had already reached out to Ming Jiazhen to ask for a meeting gift.

"When we first met, my aunt was young, beautiful and generous, right?"

Ning Er tilted her head, her clear and innocent big eyes flashed twice, reflecting the brilliance of glass, and the girls who had not come out of the pavilion were all hit by cuteness, and in an instant, maternal love was overflowing, and some offensive fairy tales were not taken care of.

No one spoke for her, Ming Jiazhen pulled the corners of her mouth, and with difficulty touched two gold leaves from her purse and handed them to him.

"Ning'er is so cute, aunt has two small leaves, give them to you."

Ning Er immediately accepted it, smiling sweetly in front of the gold, "Thank you aunt, aunt is really generous!" The emperor's uncle only gave Ning'er one ingot of gold, and his aunt directly gave two gold leaves! My aunt is richer than the emperor's uncle! ”

Ning Er's voice was crisp and loud, and the atmosphere under the corridor was like freezing for a while, Ming Jiazhen's face instantly dropped, and Ming Lanying gently covered Ning Er's mouth after realizing it.

"The child is still young, his heart is sincere, the child's words are unscrupulous, the child's words are unscrupulous, don't take the seventeenth sister seriously."

Ming Jiazhen's face changed and changed, and the eyes of the sisters behind her looked at her a little wrong. The emperor only rewarded a gold ingot, Ming Jiazhen, the daughter of an official, why did she shoot two gold leaves?

The Ming family is not in business, the second is not minerals, and the emperors of all dynasties have restricted the shops under the names of court officials, even if the Ming family is the elder of the three dynasties, and the Ming family is the prime minister of the first product, but the shops under the name of the Ming family cannot exceed twenty-five.

What's more, the treasury has not been surplus in recent years, and the emperor has only a small amount of savings in his industry, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have followed the emperor to be thrifty, even Ye Juelu, a close minister around the emperor, and the subordinates in the palace plus the nursing courtyard have not exceeded 100 people.

Ming Jiazhen's meeting gift turned out to be more generous than the emperor!?

Ming Jiazhen's slender hand under his sleeve clenched into a fist, "Sister, don't speak ill of me in front of Ning'er, these two gold leaves have been saved by my sister for many years, and when I saw Ning'er today, I felt cordial and happy, and Ning'er called me...... Auntie, I naturally have to be nice to him. ”

"What my sister said is like I slandered you in front of Ning'er." Ming Lanying covered her mouth and chuckled, "Seventeenth sister, don't think too much, although you and I are both members of the Ming family, we have only met a few times, I dare not say that we are familiar with each other, and it is not enough for me to bother to mention it often in front of Ning Er, oops!" I'm straightforward, don't take my seventeenth sister seriously. ”

Ming Lanying was naked humiliated, Hebai couldn't hold back his pop, and quickly turned around, his trembling body drove the Linlang Huanpei on his body, and collided with a crisp sound.

Ming Jiazhen's face immediately sank, and her eyebrows and eyes were pulled down in an instant, with a ruthless aura that did not match her age.

Ming Lanying was still smiling like a spring breeze, as if she didn't see that she was unhappy, and the little sisters around Ming Jiazhen were all startled by her change, but in the blink of an eye, the chilling momentum disappeared, as if it was their hallucination.

"My sister still loves to joke so much, we are a family." Ming Jiazhen took her hand affectionately and took her to the Liuyu Pavilion where Quyu flowed, "My sister has been living in Biansai all these years, and she should be very unaccustomed to participating in the Spring Festival banquet for the first time, right?" When I was at home, I listened to my aunt carefully teach my sister, so that my sister knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my sister had never seen it. ”

"Jiazhen, your sister is so powerful? Why haven't you heard it in the capital before? ”

"Yes, yes! I don't know who you married? What should we call it? ”

Ming Lanying glanced at the little girl, who looked twelve years old, innocent and tender.

The girls who mingled with Ming Jiazhen were not very old, and they were not present when Ming Lanying's scandal happened, of course the Ming family and the emperor would not publicize this kind of scandal, and occasionally a few people who knew about it did not make a sound, and their eyes wandered on Ming Lanying.

Ming Lanying pondered whether to report that her family was a little imposing, and Ming Jiazhen took the first step to speak, "My sister was given to Commander Ye by the emperor a few years ago, and now she is Commander Ye's wife. ”

The little girls who didn't know were stunned, and the side was a bitter cold place where they were degraded and exiled, and in their impression, the people who could go there were not serious people, and their status was low.

The little girls looked at Ming Lanying's eyes and immediately had some temptation and vigilance, wanting to stay away, and remembering that there was only one Commander Ye in the capital, and the elders in the family had always wanted to have a relationship with Commander Ye, so they all held back, and even looked at Ning'er without the enthusiasm they had before.

Ning Er followed closely beside Ming Lanying, frowned when she heard the words, carefully noted Ming Jiazhen's appearance, and went home to report to her father.

Hebai has not squeaked, and has been ignored by everyone, and at this moment he followed them unhurriedly, taking their demeanor into his eyes, and pouting tastelessly.

Anyway, my sister-in-law couldn't bear the loss, so Hebai hooked the Yingluo around her neck, stretched her neck, and looked for what small animals could be used nearby for Ming Lanying.

Ming Lanying grabbed Ming Jiazhen's hand and looked at her with a smile, "I am indeed Mrs. Ye Commander, but how did my sister know that I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" My mother died early, no one in the Ming family wants to take care of me, I don't even know a few big characters, let alone such things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I have never seen it! Fortunately, Xianggong doesn't dislike me, so I can be a comfortable Mrs. Ye. ”

“…… My sister is too modest, how can my aunt not take care of you? ”

Ming Jiazhen was stunned, how could this person be so shameless! Can you say this kind of thing in front of others?!

The little girls who watched the excitement were also silent, everyone had to save face, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, even if they had shortcomings, they generally would not say it, this is the first time they have seen such a faceless person, even with the face of their mother's family!

Hebai was stunned, sister-in-law, this is her own reputation, and she will drag the Ming family into the water, and she will not forget to protect her brother's reputation.

Seeing that she was about to speak again, Ming Jiazhen hurriedly wanted to break free of her, but her arm was clasped tightly, Ming Jiazhen looked at Ming Lanying in horror and said with a smile.

"What about my sister's joke? Does your aunt take care of me, my sister should know? After all, it was the third aunt who instructed him to do this! ”

Ming Jiazhen's mentality was about to explode, but she still maintained a calm and decent smile on her face, "What is my sister talking nonsense?" How could it be related to my mother? My sister must have been in the side for too long, the memory went wrong, the side is barren and bitter cold, not good for the body, I asked my mother to send some supplements to the Commander's Mansion, today is the Spring Festival, sister enjoy it. ”

After speaking, he pulled Ming Lanying into the Liuyu Pavilion, there was no table under the pavilion, only a cleverly curved closed-loop canal, a small lotus flower in the trickle, a small bamboo wine cup in the center of the flower, and a low table and soft cushions were placed on both sides of the stream.

It's just that there are a little tricks in this canal, and two small red fish are put in it, and they are happily frolicking along the current.

Ming Jiazhen couldn't help but press Ming Lanying in a position in the back, Ning Er also sat behind her, Ming Jiazhen's eyes swept into the sisters, and immediately a few people sat next to her, and sat down around Ming Lanying in turn.

Ming Jiazhen put one hand on Ming Lanying's shoulder, smiling affectionately, "Sister plays for the first time, let's play a simple, hot atmosphere, very simple, whoever stops in front of this wine cup later, who has to choose one of the poems and songs, and if it is done, push the lotus, let the next person continue, until the wine in the lotus is drunk, and if it can't be done, then drink." ”

Ming Lanying was embarrassed on her face, and looked at Ming Jiazhen with a condemning look, "Sister, isn't this embarrassing for me?" Knowing that my sister doesn't know a few big words, she still wants me to participate in this kind of game, if my sister wants to ask me for a drink, even if she comes, she doesn't have to make excuses at this spring banquet. ”

Ming Jiazhen clenched her handkerchief violently, "How come?" Sister, don't be modest, it's just a small game, everyone here is a sister, feel free to play. ”

Ming Lanying hooked her lips and smiled lightly, and glanced at her playfully, "Feel free to play?" In that case, feel free to have fun, and if I can't do it, the girls don't laugh at me. ”

Seeing her take the bait, Ming Jiazhen sat down in front with confidence, "Of course not, sister rest assured." ”

The maid who put the wine cup on the top is from the Dingguo Mansion, and is responsible for guarding the Liuyu Pavilion all the time, and at this moment I saw that all the girls were seated, and took out the wine pot on the side to show it to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the wine prepared this time is a newly brewed pear blossom white, the wine is very shallow, just add to the fun, I wish you all a good time."

The bamboo wine cup is a small one, the weight is just enough to take a sip, the maid gently pushes the lotus flower, and the lotus flower slides slowly along the flowing canal.

Originally, it was not difficult, but there were two small red fish in this canal, the fish were naughty, the tail of the fish had an effect on the current, and the lotus flower would stop in front of him, it all depended on the mood of the fish.

Ming Lanying saw that the two small fish stopped swimming in front of her, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, not surprisingly, this first-class good thing was hers.

The lotus flower slowly floated in front of her, and the two small fish happily circled in place, and the lotus flower also swirled in place along the water waves swinging along the fish's tail.

A girl beside Ming Lanying covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mrs. Ye is lucky, please ask Mrs. Ye to start." ”

Ming Lan Ying rubbed the lark whistle hanging on her chest, "I'm going to disappoint my sisters, I don't know how to write poems and songs, only a piccolo is still good in my ears, I don't know if I can be a fast brick to attract other sisters' beautiful jade?" ”

Ming Jiazhen was confident that Ming Lanying was also humiliating herself, and nodded generously in agreement, "Sister is playing for the first time, so I won't embarrass my sister, but this is opportunistic, this wine still has to be drunk, and in the second round, my sister has to make poems about whatever she says." ”

"Okay."

Hebai, who was sitting at the back of the crowd, grinned and smiled with a mouthful of big white teeth, she really didn't know what her sister-in-law's poetry and song were, but let her play the piccolo, that is, put the knife directly in her hand.

Ming Lanying pinched the wine cup and drank it all, and then felt out the lark whistle, her slender fingers flew on the whistle hole, and a beautiful minor tune sounded slowly.

Ming Jiazhen's eyes narrowed, she didn't expect that this village woman could really play the piccolo, but the timbre was average, and she couldn't taste the countryside on the table.

Ming Jiazhen can think so, of course the ladies of the family here also think so, and when Ming Lanying's song ended, no one applauded, only a few words of lukewarm scene were brought over.

The time has come for Ming Jiazhen to pretend to be generous, "Sister, this little song...... It's really ear-catching, my sister and I have two unique music scores, and I will send them to my sister when I go back. ”

Ming Lan Ying was not annoyed, the first round ended with Ming Lan Ying in a minor key, the maid added wine, Ming Lan Ying gently pushed the lotus, let it continue to flow, glanced at the small red fish in the canal, and smiled lightly.

I don't know if it's because Ming Lanying's strength is too small, or the water flow is too slow, and the lotus flower slowly stopped next to Ming Lanying in the second round, in front of the girl who was talking to her just now.

Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "The girl's luck is not bad, I threw bricks, please send out the girl Meiyu." ”

The little girl choked, and wrote a paragraph helplessly, Ming Lanying swept her eyes, she was decent, she couldn't make a mistake, Ming Jiazhen also praised her face twice, and asked the girl to push the lotus.

The lotus flower flowed down the water again, and a small red fish hid under the lotus flower, bubbled twice, and this time it stopped in front of Ming Jiazhen.

Minglan Ying sighed, "It's time for my sister to shine!" I heard that my sister is still the first talented girl in the capital? My sister's shot must be a masterpiece! ”

Ming Jiazhen was also stunned, and immediately reacted, covering her face as if shyly, covering the corners of her straight mouth, "Sister, don't make fun of me, it's just to accept the love of your sisters, it's not very good." ”

Saying that, Ming Jiazhen still wrote a poem according to the rules, with the comparison of the two ordinary bricks in the front, her poem is very powerful, and she received the praise from the audience without accident.

The lotus continues to flow, and the top spot in the second round is Ming Jiazhen.

The third round started with Ming Jiazhen, and Ming Jiazhen also took a special look at the two small red fish playing in circles in front of Ming Lanying, and retracted his gaze suspiciously.

As a result, the lotus flower in the third round went around for most of the circle, and finally stopped in front of the person in front of Ming Lanying, Ming Jiazhen was still smiling, and the handkerchief under the wide sleeves was twisted into strips.

After a few rounds in a row, Ming Lanying was very lucky not to receive the lotus, but Ming Jiazhen received more lotus flowers, and the poems and songs were done in turns, and Ming Jiazhen was going to blow up.
