Chapter 26

Early the next morning, Mrs. Ru came to Jin Liu's house early, helped her dress up and escorted her out of the yard herself.

When Jin Liu arrived at the main courtyard, the eldest lady was having breakfast, and when she heard that Jin Liu had arrived, she smiled lightly, "It's positive."

"It's a great thing for Mrs. Ru that the eldest lady can take the third lady out." Zhou's mother agreed, and handed the chopsticks in her hand to Tourmaline, walked to the door and opened the curtain by herself. As soon as it was light, he led her into the door and said to the eldest lady with a smile: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes. First look at the eldest lady, the third lady's dress looks like a little fairy in the sky."

"Jin Liu pays respects to mother." Jin Liu bowed his head in salute.

The eldest lady looked up, her eyes turned around Jin Liu's body, her eyes changed, and she said with a smile: "Mother Zhou is really right, that's what our young ladies in Jin's mansion should be like... raise your head and I will Look."

Jin Liu raised her head obediently, and moved her eyes away as soon as she met the eldest lady, but she could see clearly the resentment in the eldest lady's eyes... The third young lady and Mrs. Ru are really more and more similar...today What Jiaqin said the other morning is still in my ears, it seems that Da Furen has also found the shadow of Madam Ru in her.

"You look pretty good, can you eat early?" The Da Furen said lightly, she stopped looking at Jin Liu, and lowered her head to drink the porridge in front of her.

Jin Liu was startled, now is not the time for her to be disgusted by the eldest lady, the corner of her mouth raised, "Mother Lao is thinking about it, I have already used it." As he spoke, he stepped forward and stood beside Tourmaline, motioning to give her the chopsticks.

Tourmaline glanced at Zhou's mother, saw her nodding, and then handed the chopsticks to Jin Liu's hands.

Jin Liu glanced around the dining table, picked up a crystal dumpling and put it on the plate in front of the lady, "This morning the big kitchen also gave Jin Liu a crystal dumpling, Jin Liu tasted one, and there was Corn, cloud legs, fungus, water chestnuts, fresh shrimp, and meat are delicious, Jin Liu accidentally ate the rest, mother should try it too!"

The eldest lady glanced at the steaming crystal dumpling on the snow-white porcelain plate, it was crystal clear, and the stuffing inside could be vaguely seen, this was something she could eat often, and she didn't find it unusual, but Jin Liu regarded it as something rare , and put them on her plate like offering treasures, the most important thing is that what Jin Liu gave her was her favorite... The smile on the lady's face became more sincere, and she looked at Jin Liu lovingly. With a glance, he said: "Silly boy, this is just an ordinary thing. If you like to eat it, you can let the big kitchen cook it often."

"Really?" Jin Liu exclaimed in surprise, then lowered her head in embarrassment, "I thought it was so rare!"

The sense of superiority made by the comparison made the lady feel better. She touched the red coral headdress on her gilt hair, and sincerely boasted: "Your red coral headdress really suits you, and I am happy to wear it today."

Jin Liu lowered her head in embarrassment, and was trying to figure out what to do next, when she heard the voice of the little maid outside—the third miss, Jin Xingxi, is here.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" The eldest lady glanced at Jin Xingxi who rushed in, raised her eyebrows, and asked, putting down the porridge bowl in her hand, and didn't touch the crystal dumplings on the porcelain plate.

"Aren't you going to celebrate the second sister of the Lin family's birthday..." Jin Xingxi glanced at Jin Liu beside the eldest lady, frowned, walked over and knocked her away, and leaned beside the eldest lady, "Mother, help me see What do you think of this dress? Can I wear it like this?"

"Didn't you say you're not going?" The eldest lady kindly helped Jin Xingxi tidy up her clothes, and said teasingly.

Jin Xingxi pouted, and glanced at Jin Liu, "If I don't go, won't it be cheaper for others?"

"She is your third sister, why is she someone else!" said the eldest lady, but her tone was not too harsh.

Jin Xingxi stopped talking, and his expression was extremely disdainful.

Jin Liu stood aside, pretending that she didn't hear, she wasn't afraid of someone like Jin Xingxi who didn't have a straight mind, but the eldest lady... Jin Liu looked up at the eldest lady, saw her calm face, and thought about what she had just said. Her performance has already comforted her, so she is at ease.

After the eldest lady had finished her meal, the carriage outside was ready, and the three of them walked towards the second gate with the maid and mother-in-law.

At the bottom of the second door steps, three carriages lined up. In front of a carriage with a dark blue silk shed and a glazed lamp, a footstool had already been placed under it. The woman who was waiting to board the carriage stood by the carriage and saluted the three of them as soon as they arrived.

"Mother, she and we also want to ride in a carriage?" Jin Xingxi glanced at the two carriages behind. The small carriage in the gray shed was obviously for the servants to ride in, and the one behind was full of congratulatory gifts. Obviously, Jin Liu was going to follow her. They rode together in a carriage.

"Five children!" The eldest lady scolded Jin Xingxi.

Being scolded before going out, Jin Xingxi turned her head away angrily, but she didn't dare to do it again. She knew the character of the eldest lady, and it was easy to talk about it in the room, but it couldn't be done outside.

Jin Liu looked innocently at the eldest lady, then lowered her head silently.

"Little San'er, don't pay attention to her, she has such a temper, get in the carriage with me." The eldest lady ignored Jin Xingxi who was sullen, and led Jin Liu into the carriage, seeing that Jin Xingxi outside was stubbornly unwilling to get into the carriage , raised his voice and shouted: "If you don't come up, forget it, let's go!"

"Don't!" Jin Xingxi was startled, stomped his foot and walked onto the carriage. The woman who was waiting to get on the carriage rushed over to serve, but she was thrown away by her, "Go away, I can get on by myself!" After finishing speaking, she glared at the The mother-in-law took one look, raised the door curtain and got into the carriage, without even looking at Jin Liu who was sitting next to her, she sat down next to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady gave Jin Xingxi a funny look, and said loudly, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" The coachman agreed, blew his whip, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

It was the first time for Jin Liu to ride a horse-drawn carriage. As a child, she had never even pulled a sheep-drawn cart in the park. She looked a little excited. She looked left and right curiously. If it wasn't for the presence of the eldest lady, she would have opened the curtains and looked outside. .

Seeing her like this, Jin Xingxi showed a look of disdain again, tugged at the lady's sleeve, and winked at her.

The eldest lady had noticed Jin Liu a long time ago, and she was very tolerant of her inexperienced appearance, so she pulled Jin Xingxi and said, "Today, the Shangshu Mansion has invited a lot of people, and the left and right deputy capitals and the Imperial Envoy's Mansion will probably also accept them. When I got the invitation, I know that you have always been at odds with the lady in their house, you can't be so self-willed today, if you make your aunt embarrass, I will not forgive you!"

"Mother, don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as them." Jin Xingxi pouted.

Seeing this, the eldest lady was obviously a little worried, but she didn't say anything more. She glanced at Jinliu again, feeling dark in her heart. Looking at what happened at that time, I felt that such a girl was not enough, so I closed my eyes and rested in peace.

Jin Liu withdrew her gaze from the window. It turned out that the eldest lady not only had the father of a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, but also a sister of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. With such a background, she was much better than Mrs. Ru in terms of hardware. No wonder As the wife of the main house who entered the door early, she will be seized by the flat wife who entered the door later. This is not only decided in terms of knowledge, world and means, but also the elder Jin Zhijiu's side.

Moreover, the eldest lady's superficial skills are so good, I am afraid that everyone in the entire Jin Mansion knows how embarrassing their mother and daughter's situation is, and other people in the capital also think that their Jin Mansion is in harmony!No wonder the eldest lady has been firmly suppressing Mrs. Ru for so many years, allowing their mother and daughter to live such a hard life. It is really not surprising that there are such good means!
Jin Liu turned her head away, a mocking smile hidden in the shadows.

The Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and the Councilor's Mansion are in the south of the city, only two streets away. The carriage moved slowly and arrived in a short while.

The door of Shangshu's mansion was wide open, and there were already several women and daughters-in-law standing at the door, all of them smiling, wearing brand-new clothes, speaking and behaving well, as soon as they saw the carriage of the envoy's mansion approaching, they greeted Come up, invite guests to get off the carriage, lead the carriage to the back door, and enter the mansion to look for the master. They look busy, but they are not chaotic at all. No, quickly come out from the door and greet her.

"I thought we lived close, and you would be the first one to come. I didn't expect you to arrive until almost everyone came!"

When Jin Liu got out of the carriage, she saw a middle-aged woman who was seven points like the eldest lady came out of the gate, followed by five or six women and maids, all of whom were smiling.Although the tone of the middle-aged woman was full of blame, it also showed that the relationship between her and the eldest lady was extraordinary.

Jin Liu knew that the woman in front of him should be the elder sister of the Da Furen, Madam Liu, the mistress of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion.

"Auntie, Xingxi has seen Auntie!" Jin Xingxi behaved very well in front of the elders, and greeted Mrs. Liu before she walked down the steps, and bowed politely.

"Hey, our Xingxi is really getting more and more beautiful, and his lips are sweet." Mrs. Liu touched Jin Xingxi's face and said to the eldest lady with a smile.

"She has a sweet tongue outside, and she can't wait to piss me off with a few words at home." The eldest lady looked at Jin Xingxi dotingly and said.

"I just like things like Xingxi, unlike our Liuli, who know how to embroider without making a sound." Mrs. Liu smiled, glanced behind them, and said strangely: "Why didn't the elder sister come together?" ?”

"My eldest sister will also come?" Hearing that her eldest daughter is also coming, the eldest lady's eyes lit up.

"I watched the elder sister grow up. My second sister liked her as a cousin since she was a child. The second sister celebrated her birthday. Naturally, I invited her to come. I thought you came with her when you came late." " Mrs. Liu said with obvious disappointment.

"Great, big sister is coming too, I haven't seen big sister for a long time!" Jin Xingxi exclaimed happily.

"No rules!" The eldest lady cast a glance at Jin Xingxi. "I don't know if your eldest sister is busy, can you come over? You're just blah blah blah here, with no rules at all!"

"They're all my own children, what are you doing holding her down!" Mrs. Liu glared at her sister, then smiled and winked at Jin Xingxi, raised her head and looked at Jin Liu, and looked at the eldest lady suspiciously: "What is this?" The child is..."

"My third girl." The eldest lady said to Jin Liu with a smile, "Little San'er, I haven't seen Mrs. Liu yet."

Jin Liu glanced at Mrs. Liu, and took a step forward, "Jin Liu has seen Mrs. Liu."
