In the spring before the first wife's return to the hall

Chapter 8
Jin Jingyi promised Mu Jin'er to meet her parents, which seemed reasonable to him, especially if there was a misunderstanding about some things, he would not only go but also make a good apology.

Now he is less and less convinced of those rumors, because Jin'er has always been very confident, and she speaks with confidence: If she really eloped with someone, why did she come back?
This is also the reason why he wanted to hit someone after seeing Jin'er, but finally stopped.To put it bluntly, it was just one sentence, he was still willing to trust Mu Jin'er in his heart.

Now the situation in the mansion is a bit complicated. Of course Jin'er's parents are his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but what about Qiuyin's parents?There is also his mother's attitude towards Jin'er, which requires him to think carefully about how to deal with it.

"Mother, Jin'er has endured a lot of hardships, and she came back after a long journey; I just heard that she slept outside our gate last night-let her go to rest and change clothes. We will talk about it later if we have anything to do. OK?"

He just wanted to give everyone more time, so that everyone could calm down and think about it, and he could also have a good talk with his mother, to hear why her mother decided that Jin'er was a fake.

In addition, he also wanted to give Qiuyin an explanation, to have a good talk with Qiuyin; although he could not come up with a good solution now, it was wrong to escape.

I'm sorry for Jin'er and Qiuyin, it's better to talk to Kaicheng Bugong; Jin'er and Qiuyin are good women, I believe they can be considerate, maybe they can find some way to solve the embarrassment.

Jin'er nodded immediately, she had no reason to object; now she has just entered the gate, not considered entering the mansion at all, because she has not entered any room in the Chi mansion.

Only when she enters the house can she be regarded as entering the Chi Mansion, and she must go to the house; she must maintain and remind Jin Jingyi of her identity as the first wife.

Entering the mansion, she just took a step.

"Okay, it's up to you." Facing Jin Jingyi, she nodded with a smile: "It's just for me to eat something, but now I'm very hungry."

Jin Jingyi remembered what Jin'er said just now: "What about eating, why are you so slow?" He didn't listen to his mother's words at all, and still believed that the person in front of him was Jin'er.

Mrs. Jin Tai had to cough twice: "It's okay to eat, here it is; we are a family of accumulating charity and can't watch people starve to death, but our Jin family is kind but will not be deceived-do you still have a certificate?"

She emphasized her tone: "if not, I think you'd better leave."

Tan Qiuyin kept her head down and did not speak. Jin Jingyi admitted that Mu Jiner's father was her father-in-law, and her heart ached when she answered so bluntly: her father is her father-in-law, so what about her own father?
Jin Jingyi's father-in-law is of course only one, and the concubine's room, even the parents of a noble concubine, cannot be called father-in-law and mother-in-law, they are just ordinary relatives in the family.

Besides, as the head of the family, Jin Jingyi doesn't need to salute the elders of the concubine's room, because the concubine's room is half a house slave, so there is a reason for the master to salute the slaves.

It was Mrs. Jin's words that reminded her and comforted her: no matter what Mu Jin'er and Jin Jingyi said now, as long as Mu Jin'er can't prove that she is Jin Mu's, then that father-in-law is just a joke.

Tan Qiuyin thought it was right for her to keep silent, so she raised her head to look at Jin Jingyi. She didn't lower her head again until Jin Jing looked over and saw the sadness and grievance in her eyes.

It would be annoying to talk too much, it would be better to swallow all the grievances and keep silent; Jin Jingyi's personality is there, so he will only feel guilty.

Jin Jingyi really felt ashamed in his heart, and he agreed to Jin'er happily, but if he gave the gift of son-in-law to Jin'er's parents, what would that mean to Qiuyin's parents?

Fortunately, Qiuyin didn't open her mouth, let alone criticize him. He gained face, but his conscience couldn't be settled.

Mu Jin'er looked at Mrs. Jin Tai: "It's too real to be fake, it's this—" She looked at Tan Qiuyin, her voice dragged on for a long time, and finally spit out from her mouth: "It's what this lady just said, Mrs. Why are you in such a hurry, madam?"

"It's good to let me puff my stomach before talking. You know, I only ate a cornbread yesterday, and by this time I really have my heart attached to my back."

Just as Mrs. Jin was about to speak, Tan Qiuyin gently shook her head to signal her mother-in-law not to stop her: "Let her eat something, how can she talk when she is hungry."

She opened her mouth, and the girls who came with the things were relieved, put the things on the table and carried them to Mu Jiner.

After Tan Qiuyin finished speaking, she raised her head to look at Jin Jingyi again, and let Jin Jingyi understand without opening her mouth: I did this because of you, just because you didn't want her to be hungry, and I didn't want you to be sad so I let her eat.

The things were well prepared, and the chairs were carried over and set up.

Jin Jingyi's eyes did not leave Tan Qiuyin for a long time this time, because he is not hard-hearted; Tan Qiuyin can let Jin'er eat breakfast at this time, which really touched him and made him feel guilty.

Tan Qiuyin has already looked away, but she knows that her husband's gaze is still on her, and she knows that she is using the right method; of course, she doesn't really want to fill Jin'er's stomach.

Doing so is also a kind of temptation: Although Mu Jin'er is not from a family background, she has been married to the Jin Mansion longer than her, and her every move may make people tell the truth of the person in front of her.

She very much hoped that the person in front of her was a fake, or that she had forgotten too many things in the past five years, such as eating etiquette: no matter what the facts were, it could always be evidence that Mu Jiner was fake.

Jin'er glanced at Tan Qiuyin, nodded slightly as a thank you, then sat down calmly, took the cotton towels handed over by the maids to wipe her hands, wiped three wet cotton towels in a row, and then wiped her hands with dry ones , just took a cup of tea.

This tea is very fragrant, and after taking a long sip, it is the aroma that she has never smelled in these years; Jin'er sighed softly: "It's really a pity to use such a good thing to rinse your mouth; I don't know To cherish things is not to cherish blessings."

She waved her hand: "Just give me a cup of rough tea or a cup of white water to rinse my mouth."

The girl was at a loss and raised her head to look at Mrs. Jin Tai and Jin Jingyi. Among the masters present, these two were naturally the most important.

Jin Jing nodded: "Jin'er is right, change the tea; from now on, the government will not use this kind of fragrant tea when rinsing mouth, cherish blessings, and leave more blessings for future generations."

Mrs. Jin Tai didn't speak. After watching Jin'er rinsed her mouth, she picked up a cotton towel and put it on her lap. She narrowed her eyes: "Sure enough, it's not bad at all. It really is Mu Jin'er."

She knew that she would not be wrong, that face often appeared in her mind, how could she admit to being wrong; but, Jin'er, you came at a bad time, if you came a year earlier...

Glancing at Tan Qiuyin beside her, she sighed slightly and lowered her eyelids, at least let Jin'er have a good meal.She can deny Jin'er against her conscience, but if she can do something for Jin'er, she is really willing to do it.

Jin'er used her eyes to signal the girl to fetch the food, chewed slowly, and ate in full view without any embarrassment; she ate very quickly, probably because she was very hungry, but she didn't leave a vulgar look. impression.

This appearance did not happen overnight, and the person in front of him was undoubtedly Mu Jin'er.

Not only Mrs. Tai was sighing in her heart, Tan Qiuyin's last hope was also shattered; and both she and Mrs. Tai saw self-respect and self-respect on Mu Jiner's face - how could a elopement person have such confidence?

So Tan Qiuyin's heart sank, she lowered her eyelids and looked at the corner of her skirt, waiting for her mother-in-law to speak.

Even if it is true, but there is no evidence to prove it, the Jin Mansion is a place she cannot enter; Tan Qiuyin sighed and said something in her heart: Don't worry, I will treat your children well.

She just couldn't let Mu Jiner enter the mansion, no matter what; even if Mu Jiner had a great reason, even if Mu Jiner had suffered a lot, she couldn't let him enter the mansion.

There is no way out.

If she took a step back now, what would she do next?If Mu Jin'er is to be regarded as a sister and mother, will she be willing to be a concubine?It's okay for her to be humble, but what about her parents and brothers, and what about her future children?
If she took a step back, she would be ignoring her relatives, and she would make her future children a head shorter before they came into the world.

Mu Jiner didn't eat slowly, and soon one-third of the food on the table went down. She gently put down her chopsticks: "Although I'm not full, but the way to keep in good health is seven points; I won't be hungry again in the future." If you have a full meal, you still have to cherish your blessings and don’t eat too much.”

She took the wet cotton towel handed over by the girl and wiped her mouth, then cleaned her hands, and finally rinsed her mouth before standing up and apologizing to Madam Tai: "Madam Tai has been waiting for a long time."

Even though Mrs. Tai is not pleasing to the eye, but her elder status is there, she still abides by the rules.

Jin Jingyi's gaze was no longer on Tan Qiuyin, looking at Jin'er full of pain: "Didn't you have enough food all these years?"

Mu Jin'er smiled: "It's all over. I don't have any objections to reminiscing about the old days, and I really want to talk about my five years and your five years, but I'm afraid Mrs. Tai won't agree."

Mrs. Tai snorted: "Now take out the voucher, if you can't get it out, you will either leave or send you to the government."

She wanted Mu Jin'er to force her to leave, but she didn't really want to send him to the government.

Mu Jin'er's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and said softly, "Certificate? It's not that there are no certificates, but I don't know if this is a certificate in the eyes of Mrs. Tai."

What she took out from her sleeve was a small purse, very small: "Do you still know this thing?"

The person Jin Er asked was Jin Jingyi.

The small purse she held in her hand was a little worn out, and there were still some stains on it, but even so, it was not difficult to see that the purse was made extremely exquisitely.

Although the materials are not the best, but the workmanship is extremely fine, even if there are stains on the small orchids, it still seems to be able to reveal a delicate fragrance.
