The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 64 Because of Xia Jin, everything is different

"Xia Jin, you are so brave!" Qu Linglong screamed, the image of a lady she had just maintained was gone.

"Miss Qu praised me, in fact, I am very timid. I am afraid of grasshoppers and caterpillars. How can Miss Qu be as bold as Miss Qu? At the old lady's birthday banquet, I was like a shrew, with my hands on my hips looking for scolding Fight." Xia Jin looked humble.

"You!" Qu Linglong was so angry that her lips trembled and her eyes were red.

"This is grandma's banquet. I don't allow anyone to make trouble. Miss Qu, please sit back in your seat!" Lin Ziyi said coldly.

Seeing that Lin Ziyi had said so, Qu Linglong stomped her feet, and reluctantly returned to her seat.

Lin Ziyi picked up the wine glass, covered the smile on the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself, this girl has a sharp mouth, she's good at it!
He had disliked Qu Linglong a long time ago, but because of the old lady's liking and Prime Minister Qu's face, he has been following her in and out of the general's mansion freely.

Turning to look at Xia Jin, Lin Ziyi's eyes softened.

I saw that Xia Jin flushed Qu Linglong's cheeks with anger, while she savored the snacks on the plate as if nothing had happened.

The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and there was a pampering in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.

And this gaze happened to be seen by Mrs. Sun!

The more Qu Linglong thought about it, the more angry she became. Seeing that many wives and ladies were presenting presents, she looked at Xia Jin who was sitting there eating snacks, and said through gritted teeth:
"Miss Xia, everyone has given gifts, what have you prepared for the old lady?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Jin again.

Xia Jin was eating snacks. Seeing everyone looking at her, Xia Jin swallowed the snacks and said, "My gift has already been given to the old lady!"

Qu Linglong mocked.

"Why didn't Miss Ben see it!"

Seeing Qu Linglong being aggressive, the old matriarch frowned.

"Jin'er sent a gift as soon as she entered the door!"

The old lady picked up a transparent glass bottle, which was full of orange peel mints wrapped in colored paper.

When Xia Jin came in, the old matriarch coughed, she grabbed a handful of mints, and put the bottle on the old matriarch's table by the way.

The old lady liked it very much, so she carefully put it in the box at the back.

But now that Qu Linglong is so aggressive, the old lady can only show it, and at the same time, her flesh hurts.

"A glazed bottle filled with some candy, what kind of gift is it?" Qu Linglong said indifferently.

"It's true that I can't get on the stage, and I'm sending the children away." Some wives also joined in.

"The candies sold by street vendors cost less than a tael of silver in a small jar. What are these candies worth? Could it be that the old lady was tricked into treating her like a child?"

Seeing that people around were discussing and even slandering Xia Jin, the old lady said unconvinced:
"Try it, ladies, how delicious this candy is!"

These words are full of anger.

In her eyes, those silks and satins that can be bought for a little money, and some expensive pills that are useless but not as good as the orange peel mints that Xia Jin gave!
This candy is not only delicious, but also relieves her cough symptoms, which is more effective than the medicines she took.

Madam, cherish it very much!

Even when Mrs. Sun was watching eagerly, she was not willing to give her one.

But now that the words have been spoken, it is useless to regret.

The old lady could only ask Mrs. Sun to open the bottle cap and give each of them a bottle.

Seeing that the candies in the bottle were running out little by little, the old lady swallowed, and shouted in her heart to give less, give less, and save more for me!

Seeing that all the candies in the jar were finished, the old lady sat down on the chair in pain, her heart was bleeding!
Lin Ziyi also got a candy, and the candy was covered with a layer of oiled paper. On the outer layer of the oiled paper were painted yellow faces, some stuck out their tongues, some blinked their eyes, and they felt happy just looking at them.

Opening the package, there is a crystal clear candy inside, slightly orange-yellow, which looks like amber and freshly fired glass.

Putting it into the mouth, the first thing I tasted was the bitter taste of orange peel, followed by a touch of coolness, and then, the sweetness filled the mouth. After swallowing, the whole nose and throat seemed to be ventilated, whizzing Catch a cold.

"This candy is too delicious!" A lady exclaimed!
"It's the first time I've eaten it since I've grown up. What kind of candy is this!"

"I feel that my throat is so comfortable and my nose is ventilated!"

Everyone talked to each other, and finally all their eyes fell on Xia Jin.

From the disdain before, to the desire now.

"Miss Xia, do you have any candies?"

Seeing this, the old matriarch snorted and said, "Now, you have nothing to say! How could the gift from Jin'er be so bad!"

Seeing the old lady turn her head away angrily, it really hurts my own sugar!

Old and young, the older the younger, the old lady lost her temper just like a little girl who was robbed of candy.

However, Xia Jin could feel that the old matriarch was kind to her, so she wouldn't let the old matriarch suffer.

Xia Jin stood up, walked up to the old matriarch, and conjured another jar of candy like a magic trick.

"I wish the old lady good luck, smile often, life is sweeter than this honey~"

The old lady took the candy bottle from Xia Jin with both hands, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, the corners of her mouth couldn't be closed no matter what.

"Okay, okay!" She said three good words in a row.

Those who have tasted the taste of candy all looked at the sugar bowl in the old matriarch's hand, and the old matriarch hid it in the box next to the seat like a food protector.

"Old Madam, can you give me another one?" An old minister said cheekily.

His throat was coughing up phlegm all the year round, and he couldn't swallow it or cough it out, but just after eating a piece of candy, it miraculously cleared up!
That's why I had the cheek to ask for it!
The old lady looked at him warily, clutching the box like a calf.

"This is Jin'er's birthday gift to me. Didn't you all look down on me just now? Why have you changed your face now?"

This made the old minister embarrassed, but remembering that his wife had also joined the team belittling Xia Jin just now, he couldn't speak anymore.

The old lady is a straightforward person, she can say what she likes and likes on her face.

Now she feels at ease in her heart, and she can't stop smiling at the corner of her mouth. If you look closely, you can still see the smug look in her eyebrows and eyes.

Looking at the appearance of the old matriarch, Lin Ziyi felt relieved.

Ever since his father passed away, the old matriarch had sent off the white-haired man to the black-haired man, and the old matriarch had been depressed and frightened.

When he was away on an expedition, the old lady would burn incense and worship Buddha all day long, praying for safety and fear all day long.

But now, everything seems to be different!

He seemed to be able to see a gap in the dark clouds covering the general's mansion, and a ray of light was shining down through the gap.

And all of this is because of Xia Jin's arrival.

Turning to look at Xia Jin, I saw that she was still eating snacks heartlessly.

Her candy has already conquered, and she doesn't care about these ministers who are talking and intriguing in the court.

Just at this moment, the voice of the announcement came.

"National teacher arrives~"

"The Eighth Prince is here~"
