Chapter 7

The first month came out in the blink of an eye, and the oncoming cold wind brought some vague warmth.

On the day the dragon raised its head on the second day of February, Zhou Bohai took Hongxiao's room away.Hongxiao is a child of the family, although she didn't use the big red sedan chair to carry her through the side door, the second wife took the initiative to organize six banquets for her in the west courtyard, and invited her mother, wife and brothers to have a drink.Although she couldn't go beyond wearing a red wedding dress, she was specially allowed to enter the bridal chamber with a red hijab and red embroidered shoes, which gave her great face and made the other aunts feel evil.

But Hongxiao didn't know how to restrain herself, and tried to find a way to hook up with Zhou Bohai and slept in her room for several nights, even taking up the second wife's life.All the aunts were waiting to see the second madam go crazy, but the second madam seemed like a normal person, not only didn't let Hongxiao drink the Bizi soup, but also rewarded a lot of things one after another.Jewelry, fabrics, and decorations are all available. Looking at it like that, I can't wait to put all the good things in her house in the red silk room.

Everyone's teeth were itchy with hatred, and they didn't dare to say anything more.The day after who made the red silk consummate the house, that idiot Zhou Jinxi woke up, and it was a living proof that the red silk can bring Zhou Bohai good luck.Even if they are fools, they don't dare to make irresponsible remarks and hit the muzzle of the gun at this moment.

When Jinxi woke up, Mrs. Zhou and Mama Ai were the happiest people in the mansion.The old lady went to Xuefeng Pavilion to visit Jinxi in person, touched her thin face and sighed for a long time, and when she heard Jinxi yelling from grandmother to grandmother, her eyes turned red.Turning her face away, she ordered Nanny Zhou to go back and bring a large box of bird's nest, and asked Mama Ai to cook porridge for Jin Xi to nourish her body.

After Mrs. Zhou left, Jin Xi hugged the big box of bird's nest and looked left and right, drooling.Life was hard in the previous life, although I made a lot of money, I have only seen this kind of precious thing but never eaten it. I never thought that I could enjoy my mouth here.

"It's all cooked, let's eat this at noon!" Jin Xi decided to be bold, which made Ai's mother laugh, "This food needs to be soaked for ten hours before it can be eaten, and now it can be eaten until tomorrow night. And such a big bag can't be eaten all at once, you have to cook the porridge slowly to replenish your body, the girl can't be in a hurry."

Jinxi didn't have the slightest embarrassment of being a turkey, put his arms around the bird's nest and asked Ai's mother, "Then what shall we have for lunch?"

Without waiting for Ai's mother to speak, Qing Xing, who was half kneeling on the ground cleaning the dressing table, rushed to laugh and said: "The regular dish in the big kitchen, there should be stewed squab with wolfberries today. The slaves and servants should queue up early to ensure that the girl will have a hot meal."

"Don't wipe it, you go to line up now, remember to order more soup and rice!" Jin Xi's eyes lit up, the all-natural and pollution-free pigeon soup is great,
Qing Xing couldn't wait for this sentence, and was afraid that Mama Ai would stop her, so she threw the rag into the basin, and ran away with the basin in her hand.Jin Xi hurriedly told her, "Remember to put more soup and rice!"

Qing Xing responded repeatedly and made a face at Mama Ai before leaving the house. Mama Ai was full of helplessness. It was a good thing that the girl woke up, but why did she become a foodie?When it comes to eating, her eyes light up and her saliva ticks away. She doesn't look like a lady, and she has to laugh out loud if she wants to let outsiders know about it.

"Is Miss Six awake? Our girl is here to see Miss Six!" As soon as Ai's mother put away the bird's nest, she heard someone talking in the yard.Immediately after the curtain of the blue cotton door was raised, three girls in squirrel soft damask capes walked in one by one,

The leader with icy skin and snow skin, a beautiful nose and phoenix eyes, slender shoulders, slender waist and a slim waist like a swallow in the wind is one of the four beauties in the capital, Zhou Jinjue, the eldest daughter of the house of Zhou.Followed by the third girl, Zhou Jinyue, who was half a head shorter than her, had a gentle expression and a peaceful smile.At the end is Zhou Jinling, the fifth girl who is about the same age as Jinxi and has a shrewd look.Behind them were four or five maidservants wearing Qingjiang cloth paddy field long bijia.

The three of them wore the same clothes, the ice-blue smoked skirt jacket, plain and elegant, only a light beige winter jasmine was embroidered on the corner of the skirt, and the same moon-blue Four Seasons Ruyi gourd sachet was placed on the skirt. , hanging a rose-colored Pisces pendant.Wearing the same hanging cloud bun.

The eldest lady was born in a family, so naturally she would not act harshly to a concubine on the surface.Dressed in the same clothes as the concubine's daughter, it is dignified and magnanimous to anyone who talks about it.However, Jin Xi's eyes are sharp, and she can tell at a glance that the color and style of the clothes are the most suitable for Jin Jue, and it sets off the icy beauty of her whole body.Moreover, in the seemingly identical dresses of the three sisters, there is an unspeakable difference that can only be understood.

Zhou Jinling put on a peach-red half-worn cotton jacket, the two colors clashed, a bit nondescript.In the middle of Zhou Jinyue's bun, a silver comb in the shape of tortoiseshell lotus petals was pressed, and the silver was a little black with age, as if it had been stained.Maybe it was afraid of being too clean when visiting patients, so I inserted a somewhat faded honey-colored pomegranate silk flower beside it.From head to toe, there was an uncontrollable sadness.The cautious appearance of not daring to say a wrong word and not daring to take a wrong step is depressing to watch.

Unlike the two concubine sisters who were poor and timid, Zhou Jinjue had a long purple jade hairpin carved with clouds and exquisite carvings on his head.A row of slender and long chains on the head of the hairpin hangs down to the forehead, and under each chain is a bean-sized amethyst cut into a star shape. .

Eyebrows are like distant mountains, eyes are like spring water, and facial features are exquisite and picturesque.Standing there indifferently, like a proud plum blossom in the flying snow all over the sky, it is peerless.At any angle, every subtle line is perfect and just right, and no flaws can be picked out.The beauty is just beautiful, but the expression between the eyebrows and eyes is extremely indifferent and arrogant. The whole person seems to be carved out of ice that has not melted for thousands of years. Dare to get close.

Although they are all girls from the big house, the three of them are quite different in comparison.No wonder Jin Jue was listed as the first of the four beauties, and the title of ice beauty is by no means a vain name.

Jin Xi looked at the person's kung fu, and the three sisters in the Changfang also looked at Jin Xi.He saw Jin Xi's hair twisted into two buns indiscriminately, and tied with a two-finger-wide snow-blue silk belt.The upper body is a green bamboo and green cotton jacket with buttons, and the skirt is not worn on the lower part of the wide-leg trousers. During the day, he is half lying on the bed while holding the quilt.Staring at them in a daze, he didn't get up to salute them, nor told the little maids to give up their seats. Zhou Jinjue frowned slightly like smoke from distant mountains, and the chill on his body became heavier.

Zhou Jinyue was also taken aback, didn't she say Miss Six is ​​all right?No matter how you look at it, it's still a bit silly.Looking at her face that was only the size of a palm, her face was blue and yellow, her chin was pointed, and her lips were dry and peeled, Jinyue felt a sense of sadness in her heart. fool.

Facing Shang Jinxi's gaze, it was as clear as the dew in the morning sun, without any impurities.For some reason, Jinyue passed Jinjue as if she had been bewitched, and was the first to speak, "Sister Six hasn't got up yet, isn't she feeling well?"

"Thank you, Third Sister, for your concern. Hello, Big Sister, Third Sister, and Fifth Sister!" Jin Xi returned to her senses, sighing secretly that Jinyue is a kind person who has never had any contact with her but is willing to help her out.Smiling, she got off the bed and saluted Jin Jue and the others one by one.In the past few days of pretending to be dead, she has been secretly practicing how to salute, and she already looks good.

There was nothing wrong with Jin Xi's demeanor, Jin Yue and Jin Ling had no choice but to return the salute, but Jin Jue just nodded slightly and didn't return the salute at all.Zhou Jinjue's appearance with eyes on the top of his head made Jinxi think of the boy who ate wontons with her on a snowy night. How is that guy now?

"Sister Six is ​​still confused, and doesn't invite us to sit?" Jin Ling was changing her teeth, and her words leaked out, but it didn't affect her reasoning at all. "You are confused, the waiters in the room are also dumbfounded, and none of them are smart. Why don't you rush to give up your seat and pour tea when you see the eldest sister coming?"

Jin Xi's favorable impression of her dissipated in an instant, and before she could speak, the door curtain was raised with a clatter, Gu Mama rushed in and said with a smile: "The fifth girl said yes, girls, please sit down." After finishing speaking, she ordered Ai Mama , "Take out the Dahongpao that the old lady didn't drink when she came yesterday, hurry up!"

He behaved as if she was the master of Xuefeng Pavilion, and Jinxi was just a decoration.Looking down at the half-worn padded jacket she was wearing, and then at the brand-new copper-colored Lu silk squirrel coat with sleeves on Gu Mama, Jin Xi also felt that she was not like her master.

"Which fragrant wind brought the eldest girl here? If you have anything to say, just ask the old slave to go over and give instructions. How can I trouble you to go there yourself. The road is full of mud, so what if your shoes are dirty?" Gu Mama looked obsequious and smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming all over her face. She pushed Mama Ai, who was holding the tea, to the side with her shoulders, and brought the tea to Jinjue with her own hands.

Jin Jue frowned slightly, and Xue Song, the big maid next to her, immediately took the teacup, wiped the rim of the cyan noodle tea cup with a white silk handkerchief a few times, then handed it to Jin Jue, and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss will Just take a sip, anyway, it's Miss Liu's wish."

You dare to dislike the tea offered by the old lady, is this considered unfilial?
Jin Xi secretly remembered the black account, but looked at Zhou Jinjue with a stupid and apologetic smile on his face.

Jin Jue didn't even lift her eyelids, "I'm not thirsty!"

As soon as these words came out, the tea that Jinyue and Jinling held in their hands felt a little embarrassed, and they didn't want to drink it or not, but they had already picked it up.Drink it, it's like singing against Jin Jue again.Jin Ling quickly put the tea back on the table, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and put on a look of disgust.

Jin Yue glanced at the embarrassed and ashamed Mama Ai, took a sip, and then put down the glass.Again, as if he had done something sorry, he lowered his head and dared not look at Jin Xi.

Looking at the three sisters with very different behaviors in Dafang, Jinxi turned around in her heart and said, "Weasel is not good at giving the chicken New Year's greetings!"No, this scolded myself too.It should be a night owl entering the house, no good intentions!

Jin Xi sat on the side, lost in thought, and the three sisters had no intention of leaving.Jin Ling smiled and asked long and short questions, especially what happened the day Jin Xi disappeared, and how she has been recuperating these days, as if she cared about her very much.On the side, Mama Gu knew everything she wanted to say, and she didn't even mention the matter of Mama Ai's visit to Changchun to see and invite talismans.

"It's strange to say that Mother Ai invites a talisman on the front foot, and Aunt Ten enters the door on the back foot. When Miss Six wakes up, she doesn't know whose blessings she has dragged. Mom, take another look out of the corner of your eye at Jin Jue who is sitting upright on the head, and Mama Gu took the opportunity to provoke.

Hearing this, Jinjue suddenly raised his head and glanced at Mama Ai's face. Mama Ai, who had cold eyes, had countless goosebumps on her body, and boldly interjected to explain, "The old slave has been to Changchun Temple, but... The old slave is useless, I didn't bring enough money, and I didn't ask for the safety talisman."

Jin Jue ignored Mama Ai, but frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe Mama Ai's words, but she didn't ask any more questions.She didn't speak, and of course the two sisters in Dafang didn't dare to speak either.The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Jin Xi didn't feel conscious of being the host. Seeing that everyone didn't talk about it, she simply lay down on the table with one hand resting on her chin, and stretched out the other hand to play with the lid of the teacup.

Seeing her bored appearance, Jin Jue's face gradually became gloomy, and he got up without saying goodbye.Gu Mama was busy laughing to persuade her to stay, and then asked Ai Mama to take out the high-quality golden bird's nest that Mrs. Zhou had rewarded in the morning, divide it into three parts and wrap it up on her own initiative, and handed it over to Jin Jue and the others.

Jin Jue initially dismissed it, but nodded slightly when he saw the quality of the bird's nest.Mei Yu, the maid who followed her, then reached out to take the paper bag handed over by Mama Gu. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the bag in her hand was more than that of Jin Yue and Jin Ling, and she had a more sensible smile on her face.

Mama Gu looked smug, and threw the box containing the bird's nest to Mama Ai, "The things that the old lady rewarded the girl, it's better to keep them, and be less careful with your skin!"

A large box full of high-quality bird's nests was filled with only a few dregs, and Ai's mother was sweating from anxiety, but she didn't dare to stop Gu's mother.Qing Xing couldn't see it and muttered, "This is the old lady's to support the girl, and it's not Gu Mama's. How can you just give it away?"

There was a crisp "slap", five red fingerprints appeared on Qing Xing's face, before she recovered, Mama Gu slapped her backhandedly.Looking at the red and swollen cheeks of Qing Xing, Mama Gu still couldn't let go of her hatred, and spat on her face again, "Little bitch, how can you talk? The big girl came to see the girl, if the girl doesn't return the courtesy , do you want to save face?"

Jin Jue stared at Jin Xi without blinking.Jin Ling took the paper bag from the maid, weighed it, looked at Jin Xi and said with a smile, "Is this from Sixth Sister sincerely?"

Mama Gu immediately turned her smile, but only looked at Jin Jue, and said, "Miss Six sincerely gave it to her! Miss Six thanked the eldest girl for coming to see her! It's nothing, the eldest girl should not be disgusted!"

Jin Ling's face was flushed with embarrassment, and just about to have a seizure, Jin Xi, who had been sitting stupidly watching the excitement, suddenly interjected, "This gift is too thin to count, I want to treat my sisters to dinner!"

 Sorry for being late again, the last chapter will make up for it!whee:)
