An Shi nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, that recipe works, I obviously don't have swelling on my body for a while, and it's not difficult to make some ordinary ingredients for medicinal food, so I asked the cook to eat it a few times, don't say, I feel a lot more relaxed and in good spirits these days." ”

Jin Changqing also nodded: "Yes, your mother uses it, and she listens to her daughter." ”

Seeing that her parents no longer refused, Jin Nanxue's deliberately stiffened little face showed a smile again, picked up the two sets of study room treasures on the table and said to the two younger brothers: "Yun Jue, Yun Ge, these two sets of pen and ink inkstones were specially given to the two of you by the eldest sister, let's see if you like it?" ”

The two teenagers had been silently looking at the pen and ink on the table for a long time, and at this moment they heard the eldest sister say that their faces could not hide their joy, although the two of them went to school in the clan study, although they did not need to be tied, the other expenses were to be prepared by themselves, among which the most expensive was the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, knowing that the family economy was not rich, so the two of them were usually very frugal, and the ones used were the cheapest.

But in the end, he is only a half-grown boy, and now he is naturally curious in the face of the pen and ink that looks extremely valuable.

"Thank you, eldest sister."

The two teenagers picked up the things they gave them and saluted Jin Nanxue, and at the same time secretly swore in their hearts that they must study hard and never disappoint their eldest sister.

Jin Nanxue smiled and pointed to the two pots of marigolds she brought and told her two younger brothers: "Go to Bofu in a while, you two bring these two pots of marigolds, it is your birthday gift, this year is your grandmother's birthday, this birthday gift is still better, you can't write a word like in previous years and send it to the matter, lest your grandmother say that you are perfunctory when you get it." ”

Every year, the old lady of Bofu celebrates her birthday, and as the grandchildren of the concubine, they also have to give the old lady a birthday gift, but Yun Jue and Yun Ge don't want to spend more money at home, so they copy the scriptures themselves every year and send them, and this year is the same, one person copied a whole book.

Seeing that the eldest sister was even worried about this, the two teenagers were even more grateful, and said to the eldest sister: "Listen to the eldest sister." ”

An Shi looked at the two pots of flowers that were blooming vigorously and said: "These two pots of flowers are well delivered, the price is not expensive, and they can be fresh and festive, I think the old lady will not blame them for not being careful, or Ah Xue is thoughtful." However, I don't dare to buy so many valuable things when I come back in the future, it's too wasteful, I'm afraid your mother-in-law won't like it. ”

Jin Nanxue: "Mother rest assured that her daughter understands." ”

The family talked affectionately for a long time, and seeing that they could not delay any longer, they took the congratulatory gift for the old lady of Bofu and set off for the Wenxuan Bofu Mansion located on Meridian Street.

The area around Meridian Street is mostly the mansions of the noble families, which are not as good as the real nobles, but they are more than one level higher than Xizheng Street. It's just that it's a little far from the Jin family's side, and the Jin family doesn't have a carriage, so they simply don't go to Agarwood and Shang Lu, and the family huddles in Jin Nanxue's carriage and goes over together.

Fortunately, the carriage of the Hou Mansion was spacious enough, Jin Nanxue, her father, and Yun Jue were not crowded at all when they sat in, Yun Ge had a jumpy temperament, but sat on the frame outside and squeezed together with Lao Jiang, who was driving the car, and the family set off happily.

Arrived at the entrance of Wenxuanbo Mansion, far away to see the gate of people coming and going is very busy, today is a good day for Wenxuanbo Mansion to hold the 60th birthday of the old lady He, in addition to relatives and friends, they are separated from the family of the concubines, side branches also have a lot of them, there are close side branches early in the morning to help.

Wenxuanbo's Mansion is a four-entry mansion, or the mansion given by the imperial court when the first generation of Wenxuanbo was enthroned, but unfortunately it is now the last generation of lords, and so on the current uncle Jin Changwei, that is, Jin Changqing's eldest brother, after the death of Wenxuanbo's mansion, Wenxuanbo's mansion will be reduced to an ordinary family, and this imperial house will also be taken back by the imperial court.

Therefore, in recent years, the master of Bofu has worked hard to continue the prestige of the family, and this time he has been planning to hold a birthday banquet for the old lady, and publicized that His Royal Highness King Chen will personally come to the door to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and use the prestige of King Chen to improve the status of Bofu in front of people.

Jin Nanxue's carriage arrived at the door and happened to meet the third master's family, the third master Jin Changqi and the second brother Jin Changqing are both concubines of the Hou Mansion, the difference is that Jin Changqi has no official status, after the family went out, the uncle Jin Changwei saw that this cousin was honest and honest, so he asked him to help the uncle take care of the shops and granges outside, and he could also have a good reputation for taking care of his brothers. Therefore, Sanfang has been working for the saddle of the Bofu like a housekeeper in the past few years.

Today, the third old man, Jin Changqi, came over early to help, and at this time he came out to pick up his wife Qin and their two daughters who had just arrived at the door.

The people in the two rooms met and said a few hellos to each other and hurried in, and when they arrived at the courtyard where the old lady He was, they waited outside for a while, and the servant woman who went in to report came out to lead them in.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a burst of laughter from the ladies in the main hall, presumably the people in the big room and the fourth room were here.

Since the death of the first uncle of Wenxuanbofu, the He family took charge of the two concubines and moved out of the uncle's mansion directly, their aunt has long been gone, and the He family has his own son under his knees, and he is simply blind to these two concubines and out of mind.

Now living in the Bofu are the two sons of the He family, Jin Changwei, the eldest lady Zhang, the fourth master of the fourth room, Jin Changli and the fourth lady Liu, and the children born in these two rooms.

Jin Changwei, the current uncle of Bofu, has two sons and two daughters with the eldest lady Zhang, and several concubines, and gave birth to two concubines and three concubines, the youngest concubine is only two years old this year, and he is being held in the arms of the nurse at this moment. The long house has an advantage over the other brothers in terms of children.

The fourth room Jin Changli and the fourth wife Liu also gave birth to two sons and a daughter, although the fourth old man's backyard also has two beautiful and favored aunts, but the fourth wife Liu's means are spicy, so far there is only one concubine in the fourth room, and there is still no aunt.

When everyone entered, they saw that there were almost a room of people sitting in the main hall, almost all the people in the long room and the fourth room, and at this moment they were talking lively around the He family who was sitting on the soft couch in front of them.

Jin Nanxue followed behind An's, and when she looked up, she saw that He was dressed in a lilac-colored silk shirt embroidered with colorful rich and noble flowers, and on her head was a complete set of red gold inlaid with emerald gemstones, and an indigo brocade on her forehead was wiped with a huge emerald gemstone on her forehead, which made her graceful and luxurious.

He is on the thin side, with prominent cheekbones on his face, and his hands folded on a cashmere-upholstered couch in the middle, which at first glance gives people a mean and difficult feeling.

Seeing the people of the third and fourth rooms coming in together, the voices in the room were much quieter, and everyone looked at them.
