Chapter 31: Younger Brothers and Sisters
Jin Nanxue took the purse and opened it, there was a pink pearl bracelet inside, the pearl particles on it were not large but revealed an extremely luster, they were obviously all good beads, and it could be seen that the workmanship was meticulous, which was very suitable for young girls to wear.
"I don't come back often, it's not easy for our sisters to see each other, I'll give this to you to play with, don't dislike it, in the future, when you get married, your eldest sister will come back to add makeup to you."
This pearl bracelet was just married into the Hou Mansion, and Jiang Qi bought back the gadgets given to her from outside, and now there is no need to keep this thing, it is the most suitable for favors.
Aunt Tian's eyes lit up when she saw it on the side, she used to serve by the old lady's side and could be regarded as having seen some of the world, the pearl bracelet that the eldest girl took out looked at the color and was worth more than a dozen taels of silver, where can she afford it as an aunt, she stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Oh, the eldest girl is really bankrupt, Ling'er didn't thank your eldest sister quickly, such a good thing is very good to see in our house, and it was your eldest sister who loved you that let you go."
The Jin family has an average life, her aunt's monthly silver is only a mere one or two, and Ling'er, a concubine, is not much, seeing that her daughter is about to get married, one more good thing in the dowry is also a good thing with a long face, and the eldest girl should also add makeup to her daughter, and then it can only be better than this.
Jin Ling pouted awkwardly, and whispered "Thank you, eldest sister", and let Jin Nanxue put the bracelet on her wrist and stopped making a sound, Aunt Tian glared at her daughter with hatred, and in a blink of an eye, she said flattering words with a smile on her face.
At the beginning, because Jin Nanxue was married to the Hou Mansion, her parents were afraid that she would be looked down upon when she married, so they almost emptied the family to buy her a dowry, and the two most valuable grocery stores in An's dowry were also given to her, so the family has almost no family background now, and now it is Jin Ling's turn to marry, and the dowry that the family can prepare for her is pitiful.
Aunt Tian herself is not liked by her master, she always hopes that her daughter can live better, and in private she always compares Jin Nanxue's original dowry, feeling that her daughter has a bad life and is reincarnated as a concubine in her belly, and when she gets married, she is really wronged that she doesn't even have a better dowry.
Jin Ling followed Aunt Tian and felt pitiful, which was also the reason why Jin Ling looked down on the eldest sister extremely unpleasantly.
Finally waiting for the two to leave, An and Jin Nanxue looked at each other and smiled, An shook his head and said: "It's hard for her to love her daughter, our family is not a rich and noble family, their mother and daughter's daily food and clothing are set by the master, there is nothing else superfluous, seeing that Ling'er is about to get married, my mother-in-law can't take anything valuable to give her a dowry, and I can't help Ling'er." ”
After a pause, An Shi said again: "You take out such valuable things and press the bottom of the box for Ling'er, can your mother-in-law know?" ”
Jin Nanxue: "It's okay, my mother-in-law can't look down on this thing, even if I give it to Ling'er, she won't care." ”
An Shi sighed again and said: "It's good if you have an heir in the future, my mother has known that you have suffered a lot of grievances in recent years, and my mother can't help you if she is not by your side, you are still young, and you should be gentle and considerate to your husband on weekdays, as long as he often goes to your yard, there will always be heirs." ”
Jin Nanxue was speechless for a while, her mother's family knew very little about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and she suspected that Jiang Qi was just a silver-like pewter gun and couldn't tell her mother, so she could only say vaguely: "My daughter knows, my mother doesn't have to worry about it, none of the women in the backyard of the Hou Ye are pregnant, even if any of them give birth to an heir in front of their daughter, they will call me a mother." ”
An nodded wistfully, and the mother and daughter talked for a while, and then they heard the voice of the young man outside, and when they heard it, they knew that it was their two younger brothers who had returned.
The first to run back to the house was the second brother Jin Yunge, after coming in, he saw Jin Nanxue shouting excitedly "eldest sister", and then another teenager came in, this is the eldest brother Jin Yunjue, the two teenagers look almost identical, both are wearing cyan student robes, and the wooden hairpins tied on their heads are exactly the same, and they can't tell each other apart at first glance.
However, the difference can be seen when the two teenagers stand side by side, the eldest brother Yun Jue has a more square face, a warm temperament like jade, and is slightly shorter than Zhi Yunge, while the second brother Yun Ge is more energetic and cheerful.
Seeing the two younger brothers Jin Nanxue standing up happily, pulling them for a while, and stuffing the pastries they bought to the two younger brothers for them to eat, Yun Jue and Yun Ge were naturally very excited to see the eldest sister, and the room suddenly became lively again.
Jin Nanxue noticed that there was obvious ink on the back of Yun Ge's green shirt, and smiled unconsciously and said: "Look at your naughty appearance, you have read all the books on your back, quickly change your clothes and ask someone to wash them." ”
Yun Ge and Yun Jue were both stunned, but they didn't say anything, Yun Ge saluted his sister and said, "Let my sister laugh, my brother will go and change his clothes." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went to his yard to change his clothes, and Jin Nanxue could see that Yun Jue's face was gloomy for a flash.
An went to the kitchen to arrange dinner, and while she was leaving, Jin Nanxue asked Yun Jue: "What's the matter with Yun Ge, did you fight with people in the clan studies?" ”
Yun Jue didn't say much just now because his mother was there, and now only the eldest sister was not hiding it, frowning and saying: "Eldest sister, Yun Ge and I have been thinking about whether to persuade my father not to go to the clan school and find another academy to study, there are more than one or two good academies in the capital, but I don't know how to tell my father." ”
Jin Nanxue: "Then tell the eldest sister why you want to find another academy." ”
Yun Jue's mouth opened, and finally he smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I just think that I have been in the clan study for a long time, and I think that I can learn more by changing the place to study." ”
Seeing that he refused to speak happily, Jin Nanxue could guess a little in her heart, and deliberately said with a straight face: "You still have to hide it from the eldest sister, are the cousins in the long room bullying you again?" ”
Bofu's ethnology accommodates all the school-age children of the Jin clan to study for free, both a few noble young masters of the Bofu branch, as well as their poor children from the side branches, the atmosphere in the clan is not good, several young masters from the branch have always looked down on Yun Jue and Yun Ge, and bullied them at every turn, the two brothers are studious and hard at all times, and are often praised by Mr.
Last year, Yun Jue and Yun Ge were both admitted to Tongsheng, and they became a thorn in the side of those people, Yun Ge's temper is not as calm as Yun Jue, and he has repeatedly argued with them.
