Chapter 38 Getting rich overnight 2
Jin Liu's delicate and naive appearance made several aunts laugh. The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and glanced at the second lady. Seeing the surprised look on her face, she felt a burst of pride in her heart.

"Liu'er!" The elder didn't speak, Madam Ru became worried about Jin Liu's recklessness, and called her nervously.

But the elder waved at her, put his big hand directly on the top of Jin Liu's head, and said with a smile: "You are greedy, so many people have given you things, and you want more, I will give you your big sister and fifth younger sister's birthdays." I didn't give them anything... But since you have already opened your mouth, then you can tell me, if you want anything, I will give it to you."

"As long as it is a gift from my father, Jin Liu likes it." Jin Liu said in a low voice.

"This is really difficult..." The elder touched his beard, thought for a while, and said, "Well, you go back and think about it, and when you think about it, just ask me for it, that's good." ?”

"Okay!" Jin Liu responded with a full mouth, smiled shyly, looked up at the old man, then hurriedly lowered his head, turned to look at Mrs. Ru behind him, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the second lady and Aunt Bao's eye contact , narrowed his gaze, and retracted it.

"Okay, master, don't tease the child anymore, go wash up and change your clothes, and we should have a banquet when you come back." Because she helped herself and the elder, the eldest lady did not surpass Jin Liu. Annoyed by Tong Xi and Jin Xingxi's behavior, they showed her a motherly smile and said, "Our youngest is going to be hungry."

"Madam said yes, then I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first." The elder nodded, and was really about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and looked around the stage, and asked, "Isn't Xiao Wu'er the most favorite play with working overtime?" , where are people?"

Jin Liu was startled, and subconsciously looked towards the eldest lady, just in time to meet the eldest lady's gaze.

"Xiao Wu'er is not feeling well, I let her rest in the room." The eldest lady looked away and said calmly.

"Is it serious? How about I go and have a look?"

"No need, I caught a little cold, I went to see her, took medicine and fell asleep." The lady said.

The old man didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, and turned around and got off the stands.

As soon as "Fengtou Hairpin" was sung, the elder also changed into casual clothes and came out. Several tables of wine and food had been prepared in the open pavilion under the stage, because no outside guests were invited, and there was no screen. Jin Liu was a birthday star. At the same table as the Elder Master, Eldest Mistress, and Second Mistress, Madam Lian Ru sat next to Jin Liu unexpectedly, and there were two other tables beside her. In addition to Aunt Bao and Aunt Mei whom I have seen before, there are two Aunt Zhao and Aunt Xiu who have not met before, and at the other table are the prominent maids and women in the mansion, Mother Zhou, Rishan's family, and Wang Gan's family. and sat in it.

Yiyi sang on the opposite stage, but it seemed a little quiet in the open room here. The servants came one by one to offer Jin Liu a drink and ate quietly, even when they spoke, they whispered. The table was even quieter, even the giggling second lady seemed to have something on her mind, she just moved her chopsticks and didn't say much, even in such an atmosphere, Jin Liu faced the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, It is also very enjoyable to eat.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the Elder finally got up after eating well. After Jin Liu accompanied the Eldest Wife, Mrs. He Er and had a bowl of tea, he also resigned and returned to Furong Garden with Mrs. Ru.

"I've been making trouble all morning, and I'm a little tired. Little Wu'er doesn't know if I have had a good meal at noon." As soon as Jin Liu left, the eldest lady also stood up holding Zhou's mother's hand, and said to the second lady: " Brother and sister sit down for a while, I'll go and see the fifth girl first, if you are tired, people have already prepared the room."

"Don't bother my sister-in-law. I like to watch "The Annunciation of the Gong". After watching this play, I should go back." The second lady got up and said with a smile.

The eldest lady nodded, "You have just come back, so I won't keep you any longer. Let me know when you leave, and I will see you off."

"Sister-in-law, you are being polite. We are all one family, and we live not far away, so I won't bother you with my sister-in-law." The second lady hurriedly said.

"That's fine." The eldest lady was obviously just talking casually, seeing that the second lady was interested, she saved herself from wasting her energy, ordered Biqiao who stayed in the stands to take good care of her, and then got off the stands.

The four aunts got up to see off the eldest lady, and Aunt Bao used the excuse that mynah was sleepy and was going to take a nap and went back to the residence. The other three aunts didn't care, and they still sat down to watch the play. It is also rare to invite a troupe back, and they are all good at this, so naturally they don't want to go back too early.

The second lady sat and watched for a quarter of an hour, then stood up.

"Is the second lady tired?" Bi Qiao hurried forward and asked.

The second lady turned her head and glanced at the three aunts, seeing that they were all engrossed in watching the play and didn't notice her, so she shook her head and said: "I drank too much wine just now."

"Your maidservant, please lead the second lady over there." Biqiao glanced at the opposite stage, she was singing at a wonderful moment.

"No need, it's not the first time to come to the mansion, it's enough to be accompanied by Lianxi." The second lady smiled and pointed to the maid behind her, and said, "I think you are also a person who likes to watch operas. Singing with Overtime is the best, you just stay here and watch the show."

Biqiao was a little embarrassed, but she also took advantage of the second lady's favor. After sending her to the steps, she didn't go down any further. She stood by the mahogany railing and watched the play with relish.

The second lady got off the stand and did not go to the toilet, but left the main courtyard from the hall next to it, and led Lianxi towards the direction of Baohezhai. He saw Jin Liu leading Jiaqin walking towards them, and before he had time to dodge, Jin Liu was already walking towards them with a smile.

"I've seen Second Aunt, where is Second Aunt going?" Jin Liu asked as soon as he approached, saluted Second Madam with a smile.

"I... I just walked around. I ate too much just now, and I walked around to digest my food." The second lady recovered quickly after the panic, and replied pretending to be relaxed.

"But Second Aunt didn't eat anything just now." Jin Liu said with a straight face, and looked up at Second Madam, "I thought Second Aunt was going to see Aunt Bao!"

"What... what do I want her for!" The second lady's face changed when Jin Liu looked at her, and she said.

"What are you doing?" Jin Liu pouted, and tilted her head to look at the second lady with a confused face, "Does the second aunt have to do something to find Aunt Bao?"

"You..." The second lady was a little confused by Jin Liu's shrewd and innocent look, she looked at her warily, and just about to find an excuse to leave, her eyes fell on her hands following Jin Liu's movements On the hairpin that was fiddled with casually, "This..."

The hairpin is a bird hairpin inlaid with gemstones of various colors. The second lady can tell at a glance that it is from Jubaozhai, and it must be worth a lot. No matter how good the eldest lady is to Jinliu, she will not give it to her Precious jewellery, where did she get this hair pin?Could it be...

"This one was given to me by Princess Bining, second aunt, do you think it looks good?" Jin Liu didn't let the second lady guess for a long time, and took the initiative to help her solve the mystery, lovingly fondling the hairpin on her head , shyly said: "I just happened to save Master Bai Liu, and Princess Bining gave me such a precious gift."

This girl saved Bai Xiaoliu?No wonder Bi Ning came here, Bai Xiaoliu is like a treasure in the Bai family, but what ability does this girl have to save Bai Xiaoliu?

"It seems that the play is about to be finished." Jin Liu didn't answer the second wife's questions any more, she tilted her head and listened, and said, "Second aunt isn't going back to listen to the play?"

The second lady was taken aback for a moment, then remembered how she came out, glanced at Jin Liu, and said, "Of course it depends on the ending." After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Jin Liu spoke again.

"Second Aunt, do you think the tea from Yin Ri Ju is good?"

The second lady paused, and looked back at Jin Liu for some unknown reason.

"Jin Liu thinks the tea in the main house is delicious. I don't know why my mother moved to live in seclusion. Could it be that someone wants to live in the main courtyard?" Jin Liu seemed to be talking to herself, and looked up. The second lady glanced at her, saw her staring at her blankly, chuckled, bent her knees and blessed her, and walked past her.

"Miss, do you think the second lady understands what you mean?" Jiaqin asked worriedly after returning to Furong Garden, "If she doesn't understand..."

"She will understand." Jin Liu was not worried at all, the Second Madam and the First Madam had been fighting for so many years, and there was a fight for the position of the court envoy. She has already said clearly just now, it is impossible for the second lady not to understand.

Jiaqin didn't know why Jinliu was so sure. Seeing her confident look, Jiaqin felt relieved. Thinking of the congratulatory gift from the General's Mansion opposite her in the yard, she was about to ask her what to do when Zhizi ran away. When she came out, she quickly stopped her and said, "You girl, if you don't count things in the yard, where are you going?"

It's okay if Jiaqin didn't ask, but when she asked Zhizi, she collapsed, pouted and said, "I'm returning the things, I just put them in our yard, and the lady sent people to move them to the main yard just now." went."

"What? Isn't that what the General's Mansion gave to our third lady?" Jiaqin asked in disbelief.

"That's not it!" The more Zhizi said, the more she felt angry and uncontrollable, "Madam said that she was afraid that Miss would spoil things when she was young, so she would store them for her first, and then take them out when Miss got married, but I just followed to see, Zhou Mom took the Rishan family and moved all those things into the wife's small storeroom, and they didn't go into the palace storehouse at all!"

"Ma'am, this is too..." Jiaqin was startled when she heard this, and looked at Jinliu with regret.

If Jin Liu's name is written on the treasury in the palace, she can take it away when Jin Liu gets married in the future; It's Madam's business, and even if it is given, it can only be regarded as a dowry added by the Da Madam, and has nothing to do with Jin Liu. Jiaqin and Zhizi understand this, and Jin Liu naturally understands it too.

But Jin Liu didn't care at all, because she had already guessed these things, no matter whether it was to take advantage of her little girl, or to vent her anger on Jin Xingxi, the eldest lady would never let her take such a big advantage all of a sudden.

"Miss, don't you care at all?" Zhi Zi also looked at Jin Liu and asked, "Those things should all be yours!"

"So what? Could it be that if I care about the eldest lady, I will return the things?" Jin Liu looked at Zhizi with a funny face, seeing her aggrieved and about to cry, she couldn't help it. Really laughed, patted her on the head and said: "Okay, at least we didn't get any of them, didn't we have a few more? Besides, what's the use of taking so much, and they can't be exchanged for money..." Said money , Jin Liu was stunned for a moment, staring straight at Zhizi, until she saw that her hairs were about to stand on end, then turned around abruptly, and ran towards her room with her skirt in hand.

Jiaqin and Zhizi didn't know what happened yet, when they came back to their senses, they could no longer see Jin Liu's figure, so they quickly chased after her with their skirts up, "Miss, wait for us..."
