"Qingqian." I interrupted her.

"The Chen family started out as a businessman, and the silver bank is the pillar industry of Tianshui Villa. Cousin Luo naturally has carefully considered what he did. Besides, I have been with Cousin Luo for many years. Can you see that he feels sorry for me?"

It's okay to say these words lightly, after all, few people have seen Chen Luo embarrassing me.

Sure enough, Qingqian thought about it, and then she spoke again, and her hostility towards Chen Luo was much less: "This is true. In the past, no matter what the lady wanted, the uncle would respond to everything. Today, today, maybe the silver bank is really serious. What happened to the..."

I pinched my Qingqian and delicate cheeks: "Okay, serve me to drink the medicine, or you will have to fry a bowl again."

"Yes."

"Miss, this servant has specially prepared Yao Ji's candied fruit."

"..."

I drank all the medicine in one gulp, and Qingqian peeled off the shiny and crystal-clear candied fruit from the kit bag I carried with me and put it on my lips.

Well, Yaoji's candied fruit really deserves its reputation, next time I will buy some for Mancao as well.

"Tomorrow's meeting ceremony for all the aunts, are you ready?"

"It has been prepared according to your instructions."

I nodded: "Then let's arrange it, I have to get up early tomorrow."

The Qianhong curtain was put down, and I nestled in the quilt, watching Qingqian blow out the flickering dragon and phoenix candles.

***

Early the next morning, I took Qingqian and a group of maids and servants to my grandmother's Xishantang.

Different from the Albizia julibrissin in Baoxin Garden and the willows in Qingwu Garden, there is a large area of ​​green bamboo planted around Xishan Hall. This green bamboo is a treasure transplanted from the south, and it remains green and pleasant even in this harsh winter. attitude.

I led Qingqian through the path hidden among green bamboos, and I vaguely remembered the few years when I first arrived in Chen's house.

I had just turned ten years old that year, and my uncle took me from the Su family in Licheng to live in Tianshui Mountain Villa. I was settled in my grandmother’s Xishan Hall, and I lived in Xishan Hall together, and now it has become the entire Tianshui Mountain Villa. The taboo, Chen Qi, the eldest lady of the Chen family.

In Xishantang, I spent the most carefree three years in my life.

It wasn't until two years ago, after I was married to Ji, that I moved out of Xi Shan Tang and lived in Bao Xin Yuan.

After the sheep intestine path is a lotus pond. At this time, the lotus has been wiped out, and only withered lotus stalks are left there. Above the lotus pond is a classical stone bridge. On the other side of the stone bridge is a hanging flower gate. , behind the weeping flower gate is a winding veranda, with wisteria and weeping willows planted on both sides of the veranda.

A courtyard appeared at the end of the veranda, which was the Xishan Hall where my grandmother lived.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard familiar laughter from the back room.

I was a little surprised. Since the incident four years ago, I have rarely seen my grandmother show her beauty. What made her so happy?

A few steps away from the back room, I gave the hand-warming Mrs. Tang to Qingqian behind me.

I gathered the fox-fur cloak that Madam Gu had wrapped for me before going out, and walked in.

Chapter 6

"Tongtong is here."

When I stepped into the back room, I heard my grandma's joyful voice, and when I looked up, my grand grandma on the main seat was smiling kindly at me, and I smiled back.

But people other than my grandmother are not so friendly to me. Although they are all smiling because of affection, they don't reach the bottom of their hearts.Especially Chen Luo's stepmother, my nominal mother-in-law Mu Shi, I always knew that she was not against me, but it was the first time I saw her showing such obvious dislike and ridicule.

Speaking of which, the Mu family's hostility towards me seems to have started from the day I first entered Tianshui Villa, it came out of nowhere, and it has deepened day by day, I am also very confused about it.

Chen Jinyue, who was beside Mu, still had the same aloof and arrogant look, her gaze was as indifferent as before, no, this time it was a little different, and there seemed to be some faint dissatisfaction, I secretly thought about the past few days. I have offended her before, after much deliberation, only those two maids who were rude to me by Qingqian who took a lesson yesterday, actually defended her shortcomings so far? Or, maybe she thinks that I challenged her face.The latter is more likely.

As for the other relatives of the Chen family present here, they all showed pity for the weak, so much so that I was wondering if I should cooperate and act like a little daughter-in-law who was neglected by the husband.Think about it or forget it, I haven't practiced it, if the expression is not in place, and other emotions are deduced, it will be bad.

I walked up to my grandmother, knelt down, took the prepared tea from the little maid beside me, and held it up to my forehead: "Grandma, please use tea."

"Good boy, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Grandma, who should be called grandma now, after receiving the tea, she asked Nanny Chu to help me up, held my hand, and said with a look of relief: "Luo'er doesn't know in which life he got the blessing to marry such a good girl like me, Tongtong. She still doesn't know how to cherish it. When he comes back, grandma will teach him a good lesson for you and let you out."

I smiled shyly: "Don't worry, Cousin Luo is doing it for business matters. The private relationship between children is not as good as the family business of the ancestors. This is the performance of Mr. Lang knowing how to make progress. If grandma punishes Cousin Luo because of this matter, Tongtong does not follow."

Grandma tapped my forehead with her fingers, glared at me and said, "It's really a girl who is extroverted, so I feel sorry for you so soon?" Grandma laughed after she finished speaking, and everyone in the room also laughed, and the atmosphere was pretty good for a while.

After serving tea to my grandmother, it was Mu's turn. In front of everyone, she didn't make things difficult for me. After drinking tea, she ordered the maid beside me to hand me a red envelope, and said a few words to encourage us as husband and wife The words got me up.

Next, my grandmother introduced me to the relatives of the Chen family, and I changed my words one by one and made a salute. I thanked and accepted all kinds of jewelry and hairpins sent by the elders.

There are also a few people who are younger than me, they salute me, and I give the gift of meeting.

"Sister-in-law."

I smiled and responded to Chen Jinyue's sister-in-law, and asked Qingqian to take out the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum I was going to give her: "I know my sister-in-law likes to take care of medicinal herbs, but I don't know if this hundred-year-old Ganoderma can suit my sister-in-law?"

Due to congenital deficiencies, Chen Jinyue has always been in poor health. Her complexion and hair look dull and yellow, and her face can be covered with powder, but this hair color is helpless. Nowadays, snow skin and black hair are considered beautiful, so although Chen Jinyue's facial features are actually She is very beautiful, but she is still not very conspicuous among the ladies of Ye □ □ Yuan.Because of the great business of the Chen family and Chen Jinyue's poetic talent, no one dared to say anything in front of her, but rumors behind her back were indispensable.

For example, Duan Xiqiao, a close friend of my former boudoir, called Chen Jinyue in front of me as "the heart is higher than the sky, but it's a pity that the appearance is like nothing." She has an arrogant style, but because of her family background and other reasons, she has to make concessions in front of her.I don't know how they got together now.

Chen Jinyue's eyes flashed obvious surprise: "Thank you sister-in-law."

"Yeah." I nodded.The century-old Ganoderma lucidum has always been priceless. It is not only useful for life extension in times of crisis, but also a holy product for beauty and beauty.Su Yufu happened to get one and dedicated it to me, so I gave it to Chen Jinyue as I liked.It's not to please her, but since Chen Luo rewarded me so generously, I always have to reciprocate, and I have to do some superficial work properly.

The meeting gifts of other juniors in the clan are not as precious as Chen Jinyue's, but they are also worth a lot of money. When I think of the thousands of taels of silver I just gave, I feel distressed.

On the way back, I clutched the purse tied around my waist and said bitterly: "No, I have to ask Chen Luo for subsidies."
