The return of the first daughter

It is not difficult to inquire about the small banquets before and after the holidays of the ladies in the capital. It took a while for Shui'er to find out the matter clearly. The Lin family really has a youngest daughter, Miss Lin Si, who is not big or small. The banquet time is exactly this afternoon.

Hearing this news, Han Jiangxue even asked Shui'er to prepare a generous gift, and planned to visit the Lin Mansion in the afternoon.

"Miss, are you going to the Lin Mansion in person?" Seeing Shui'er spread out presents, Ziyue asked, "Should I send a name sticker to the fourth lady of the Lin family to say hello in advance? "

Ziyue knew that the Lin family did not invite her own lady, so she thought that the reason why the lady went here in person was Lin Xiaoxiao, the concubine of the Lin family whom the young master liked, otherwise it would be impossible to attend these unrelated small banquets, especially This kind of gathering of ordinary official ladies.

"No need, just go directly at that time. Anyway, I'm not here to make trouble. The Lin family shouldn't care about my uninvited arrival." Han Jiangxue shook her head, and then said to Shui'er who was busy with her work "Shui'er, first help me pick out some more expensive jewelry, preferably hairpins, step shakers, etc. After picking it out, just bring it to me."

When Shui'er heard this, he responded naturally, put down the presents that he was going to prepare for the scene at hand, and went to pick out the things that the eldest lady specified.

"Ziyue, how is Han Yajing's situation these days? Didn't you say that she always went to the second and third aunts a few days ago?" After learning the piano these days, Ziyue was reporting to her There is always this relatively similar situation.The meeting was free anyway, so Han Jiangxue asked casually.

"Yes. It's still the same these days, but when I go to the second lady's place, I often just sit down and say a few words before leaving. It's much different to the third lady's side. I stay for a long time, and it looks like The relationship between the third lady is getting hotter." Ziyue said: "But what they said was all gossip, and there was nothing special about it. Since the day before yesterday, she asked the third lady to teach her a new embroidery method that is becoming popular recently. , I stayed for a long time, and I don’t know what kind of tricks this is.”

Hearing this, Han Jiangxue didn't say much.He just hummed to say he knew.

Seeing this, Ziyue said again: "Miss, I always feel that Han Yajing's always running to the third lady is not learning new embroidery techniques, it's so simple to pass the time by chatting, sometimes they whispered in private Not sure about anything, how about I go find the third lady and ask secretly for you?"

"No need. You don't have to worry about this matter, just let them go, just remember to let people keep watching, pay more attention every day, and report any special circumstances at any time." Han Jiangxue rejected Ziyue's proposal, It didn't appear to be anything to worry about.On the contrary, there was a smile on his face, as if there was something fun to do.

in this way.Naturally, Ziyue didn't say anything more, as long as Miss Lai knew it well.

After a while, Shui'er sent an extremely valuable jade hairpin that had been picked out to Han Jiangxue for his review.Han Jiangxue couldn't even remember when she got this jade hairpin.After all, the status of the eldest daughter is here, no matter what the outsiders think of her before, it will not affect the number of various expensive gifts.She has saved a lot of such good things over the years, and she doesn't like to wear any accessories on weekdays, so she keeps them there for various uses.

"It looks really good. That's it." After looking at it for a while, Han Jiangxue was very satisfied with Shui'er's eyes.He didn't put it back into the brocade box, but put it directly on his head and wore it.

"Shui'er, go and prepare two more exquisite and expensive gifts, and send them to the second wife and the third wife respectively." Han Jiangxue asked Shui'er to prepare two more in one breath: "The second uncle and the third uncle have been waiting for you for a long time. Not at home, it's almost Chinese New Year, but I can't wait for the two good aunts."

Hearing this order, Shui'er reminded: "Miss, the New Year's gift has been given to the second wife and the third wife two days ago, and it has doubled compared to before, which is already very heavy."

"It was given by me, the representative of the Han family, who is in charge. This will allow you to prepare for my niece, who is filial to them. Just prepare it. It doesn't need to be too much, as long as it is fine and fresh." Han Jiangxue added A reminder: "Remember to step on the middle point when delivering it. It is best to follow Han Yajing into the door, deliver it in front of her, and have a sweeter mouth. Say a few more nice words in public and pass on to the two of you for me. If Auntie needs anything, just speak out, it’s all family members who are welcome.”

"Yes!" Shui'er naturally understood the intention of the eldest lady now, and happily agreed, and then went to work on her affairs.

Han Jiangxue's grandfather had a total of five children, except for Han Feng, the only legitimate son, the others were all from concubines.Not counting the two married aunts, the father's own lineage also has two concubine younger brothers who are just over 30 years old.They have already married and established businesses, with their own wives and children. Although the two families also live in the Han family mansion, they have always been very contented, and never like to stir up wind and rain like the best brothers in other big families.

Although Han Jiangxue's second uncle is young, he has been appointed as the governor of Huaizhou. He has been serving as an official for the past two years and is very busy, so he rarely comes back.However, the letters from home must come every month, not only to the wife and children in the mansion, but also to her father's correspondence quite often, the brotherhood is very good.

The third uncle is neither an official nor does he like to do business. He likes to travel around the world and spends very few days in the Han family in a year. When he came back last year, he brought his son who was less than ten years old with him. Go out and follow the tour.When Han Jiangxue’s grandfather was still alive, he said that the youngest son was unreliable. Several times he made up his mind to change the temperament of the third son, and let him follow his two elder brothers or do some serious business as an official or a businessman, but every time he failed. I don't force it anymore.

The two uncles have not been in the mansion for many years. Fortunately, the two aunts are both knowledgeable, polite, and virtuous. In addition, when the Liu family was in charge of the family, they did a good job in appearance, so they each Getting along is considered harmonious and harmonious, and nothing unpleasant has happened.

Compared with the temperament of the two aunts Han Jiangxue, it is normal for Han Yajing to get closer to the third aunt now.The third aunt has a low face, and has always been a very talkative person, no matter whether she likes it or not, she is the kind who is not very good at rejecting people.In comparison, Second Aunt is much more principled and better at thinking about herself.

However, the two aunts are generally considered good people, with good temperaments, and they don't care too much. This is also an important reason why the Han family does not have as many disputes as other families.

Han Jiangxue had to say that her grandfather's vision and positioning in choosing his daughter-in-law were very good. The three daughter-in-laws were all of the kind to live in peace. It's a pity that the old man still didn't guard against the shady one in the palace. Not to mention losing a good daughter-in-law for no reason, but also creating such a disaster as the Liu family and secretly hurting the vitality of the Han family.

In the afternoon, Han Jiangxue left Shui'er at home to continue to deal with the things she had explained earlier, while she took Ziyue out to visit Lin's house.

Han Jiangxue's arrival really surprised the Lin family. Although there was no invitation card, Miss Han's famous post was more influential than the invitation card.

When everyone saw Han Jiangxue's sudden uninvited arrival, everyone was very surprised, not to mention the ladies who were invited, even Miss Lin Si, the host of the small banquet this time, was shocked. mouth.Lin Xiaoxiao, who was beside Miss Lin Si, also never thought that Han Jiangxue would come to Lin's house in person.

Except for Lin Xiaoxiao, everyone present saw Han Jiangxue for the first time, but they had long been familiar with this famous young lady from a family.When I saw it today, I couldn't help but my eyes lit up, and whispers started between the left and right.

It has to be said that the Han Jiangxue they saw with their own eyes is different from the first barbaric, unruly and disgusting dandy image, and at the same time different from the fierce and deep-minded sinister person in popular legends recently. On the contrary, it gives people a refreshing posture of knowing the book, being courteous, and being generous.

Miss Han not only said that it would be disrespectful not to invite herself without saying hello in advance, but also personally sent a generous gift and sincerely asked Miss Lin Si, the host of today, to forgive her.All kinds of words, deeds, and behaviors are humble and friendly, without the slightest airs, completely unlike the sense of distance that cannot be approached by the young ladies of the rich and powerful families.

As Han Jiangxue, she would take the initiative to attend such a small banquet in the Lin family. For Miss Lin, this was a great surprise, not to mention that the young lady of the Han family gave her so much face by letting her take part in these small banquets. Among the partners, a lot of face has grown.Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Fourth Miss Lin to have any dissatisfaction with Han Jiangxue who came suddenly. On the contrary, she greeted Han Jiangxue very warmly and happily, and even invited him to sit at the main seat.

However, Han Jiangxue didn't do anything special. She said that she was a guest, how could she occupy the main position, and she naturally pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to sit next to the future sister-in-law while talking and joking.

And Miss Lin Si's head is also very flexible, knowing that Han Jiangxue will come to Lin's family to attend a small banquet of their level today, it must be because of her sister-in-law's relationship, so she asked her sister-in-law to help and entertain Han Jiangxue. .

Han Jiangxue could also see that the relationship between the Lin family's concubine sisters was not bad, so she didn't rush to get straight to the point, but first chatted with Miss Lin for a while, which can be regarded as giving the fourth lady enough affection .
