The reason is very simple, going out to other houses as guests represents the dignity of the two families, how can there be a reason to call concubines and aunts to go to other people's houses as guests?

So Lian had to think of Jin Nanxue, the daughter-in-law.

It's been almost a month since the last incident, maybe that person has already left the capital, right? Besides, even if you haven't left yet, where can you meet you when you go out so coincidentally in such a big place as Beijing? So it was decided.

Seeing Jin Nanxue standing in front of him at this moment, Lian's heart was very complicated, and he had to cheer up and admonish: "That Jin Anbo Mansion has some status in Beijing, and there are only a lot of nobles who went to the wedding banquet today, the first time you go out on behalf of the Hou Mansion, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds in front of people, and carefully consider what you should say and do, and don't fall into the dignity of the Hou Mansion." ”

Jin Nanxue: "Yes, daughter-in-law remember." ”

Lian's face softened slightly, and she looked at Jin Nanxue's clothes again, they were all clothes and jewelry that she asked someone to send yesterday, which was not satisfactory.

However, thinking of the mean and picky face of the old lady of Jin Anbo, after thinking about it, Lian still beckoned the girl Bai Su to come into the room and take out a small jewelry box, and selected a pair of Bai Ziyu bracelets for her to wear.

"Don't say that I, who is a mother-in-law, haven't rewarded you with any good things, this pair of bracelets was left to me by the old marquis, and now I give it to you, you will not lose your identity if you take it out for entertainment, and you can save just a few pieces of jewelry back and forth, and those who don't know think that our Hou Mansion took you with you."

Jin Nanxue listened respectfully to Lian's teachings on the surface, and didn't care in her heart, there were not a few precious jewelry in the original owner's dressing box at all, and she had let the girl secretly take it out as a part because of the lack of money, and now the only few pieces of jewelry naturally come and go with the façade, which is also a helpless thing, she is poor, so what Lian said should not be heard.

After thanking, he took the bracelet and put it in his hand, not to mention that good things are not ordinary, this bracelet belt feels heavy on the wrist not only full of weight, but also extremely warm to the touch, and it is a high-grade jade at a glance.

Lian's heart was a little satisfied when he saw that Jin Nanxue always lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, although this Jin family was not angry with a small family on weekdays, fortunately, he was obedient and sensible, and never dared to disobey her for half a point, let her go to see the old woman in Jin Anbo's Mansion, and the other party would not embarrass a junior if she wanted to.

Lian Shi said again: "I have already asked someone to put the congratulatory gift on the carriage, go early and return early, I don't expect you to help the Hou Mansion expand your contacts after you go out, don't let people criticize and embarrass the Hou Mansion." ”

Jin Nanxue: "Isn't Master Hou going?" ”

This kind of thing is said to be Jiang Qi going to the door too.

Lian's: "Qi'er naturally wants to go, but he still has to go to the government today, and he will go over with his colleagues at noon, and he will go in a different way than you, and he only went to the male guests in the outer courtyard to socialize, and the people who went to see the old lady of Jin Anbo are the female relatives of various families, by the way, your eldest sister will also go today, and you can follow her then." ”

Jin Nanxue nodded: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

Aunt Lian almost couldn't help but get up and snatch the pair of bracelets from the side, she glared at Jin Nanxue fiercely, turned her head to Lian's coquettishly and said: "Mother is willing to give such valuable jewelry to my sister, it can be seen that my mother loves my sister more in her heart, and Yueru is jealous." ”

The old lady lovingly raised her finger and poked her forehead and said, "What a conscienceless, is there still less treasure I give you on weekdays?" It's all my daughter-in-law, so naturally I won't be biased. ”

Aunt Lian reached out and touched a pair of shiny magnolia pattern Dongzhu earrings on her ears, and then smiled again: "Yueru naturally knows that my mother feels sorry for us, but my sister may not have such valuable jewelry in her makeup, and I am afraid that my sister will be panicked because of this." ”

Jin Nanxue didn't hear her provocation, and said to Lian's family: "Thank you mother for the reward, if it's okay, my daughter-in-law will go out." ”

One sentence successfully made the provocative smile on Aunt Lian's face collapse again.

Jin Nanxue said and turned to leave.

Aunt Lian gritted her teeth even more when she saw that she was directly ignored, and Jiang Wei, who was sitting on the other side watching the play silently, couldn't help lowering her head, so that people couldn't see her face clearly at the moment.

Mama Li sent Jin Nanxue and Agarwood to the outer courtyard, the carriage prepared by the Hou Mansion was already waiting there, Mama Li watched the pair of master and servant get into the car, and explained a few words to the coachman Lao Jiang before turning around and going back to his life.

Soon arrived at the street of Jin Anbo's house, far away from the sound of sheng flute and drum music, lift the curtain and see a piece of lights in the eyes full of joy, it seems that there are really a lot of people who come to participate in the old lady's birthday banquet today.

They waited in the carriage for a while before it was their turn to move forward. After the female guests came in, they sat in the small sedan chair arranged by the Bofu and were carried by the people directly to the inner courtyard.

Jin Nanxue sat in the sedan chair and felt that she had walked a long way, and it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at the place where the female guests were entertained.

Jin Nanxue followed the servant woman who led the way inside, and soon entered the courtyard where the female guests were entertained, there were already many ladies of the family who had arrived, and there were some young ladies who had not yet left the pavilion.

Jin Nanxue walked into the main hall and looked up, and in the middle sat an old lady who was about fifty years old and dressed luxuriously, and she was also full of beads and emerald silk and Luo Jia, looking rich and glorious, sitting there with a smile on her face and laughing with a group of noble ladies around her, thinking that it was undoubtedly the old lady of Bofu.

There was also a middle-aged lady next to her who was busy entertaining female guests who were constantly coming in and out, who should be a daughter-in-law of the old lady.

"It is the old lady of our uncle's mansion who is seated, and it is the eldest lady who is standing in front of her to greet the guests."

The servant woman who led the way whispered.

Jin Nanxue nodded and walked in.

The main hall was already full of noblewomen from various provinces who came to pay their respects at this time, although everyone didn't speak after Jin Nanxue came in, they all looked at her secretly, this young Mrs. Yongchenghou was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was born very well, but she rarely appeared in front of people, so many people saw her for the first time.

It is rumored that this has always been disliked by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and there is a cousin who grew up with her husband's childhood sweetheart as a concubine in the inner house.

These rumors are not groundless, it can be seen from the fact that she has been married into the mansion for three years and has not been ordained.

In a princely family like them, the serious Mrs. Hou is generally newly married, and the decree of the imperial court will come down soon, but the one in front of him has been married for three years and has not yet made a decree, and there are some contemptuous and disdainful in the eyes of everyone present, some secretly observed, and some are amazing and curious.
