After everyone in the Jia family and the Xue family and their daughters had finished saluting, Jiusi and Daiyu came forward to salute and say hello.
Daiyu is the legitimate daughter, so she greets her first: "Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the censor of the Salt Patrol, has met the concubine and wants to pay her respects to the concubine!"
Then, as the eldest daughter of the concubine, Jiusi said: "Lin Jiusi, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the salt censor, has met the concubine and wants to pay her respects to the concubine!"
The concubine also knew a little about the Lin family's affairs, but they were just internal fights. It was just that the Jia family and Jia Min were not good at it, so the concubine was lucky enough to escape.
If she were in the royal family or other inner palaces where there was fierce fighting, a person like her who didn't know how to hide her strength would have died countless times.
Thoughts were flying in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She waved to Daiyu with a smile, pulled her with a kind face and said, "You and I know this. When your mother Jia Min got married, I was there too.
I sent you off. When you came to Beijing, I thought about taking you to my house for a chat, but your grandmother said that you had to observe filial piety and couldn't go out to be a guest, so that was all."
Then, he looked at Jiusi again: "You girl, although I look at you as a stranger, I have heard from others that you are a straightforward and filial girl."
Jiusi:…………
Call me filial?
Do you want to ask Lin Ruhai first? Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death by him.
"Go and get the pair of jade bracelets that my subordinates sent me a few days ago."
When someone brought the bracelets, she put them on their wrists and said: "These jade bracelets are carved from a piece of good jade that my men accidentally got. I think they are suitable for you sisters."
It’s for two of you, so let’s wear it for you to play with!”
When both of them saw that the bracelets were on their hands, it was too late even if they wanted to refuse, so they had to accept it: "The elder dare not refuse the gift, so we two sisters will accept it. Thank you, the concubine, for the reward!"
"Okay, okay, they are all good girls. They are the same age as Hua Er. Just looking at them makes people happy. The old lady is so lucky, hahaha..."
"What do you say, Princess? No matter how good the girl in my family is, she can't compare to the one in your family. She is truly rich and unparalleled!"
"Hahahaha...all good, all good."
………………
After seeing the ceremony and chatting with the concubine for a while, Jia Mu asked them to go back first, leaving herself alone to talk to the concubine. As for what was said, only the two of them knew.
Seeing Princess Nan'an, Jiusi remembered one thing, that was Princess Nan'an probing Chun Yuan for her marriage. She remembered that this matter seemed to be related to Daiyu. Although it hadn't happened yet, Jiu Si
In my mind, I have already begun to make calculations.
It seems that Princess Nan'an will just disappear if she can't see her from now on. Who knows when she will have that idea, it is always right to be on guard.
Early on the next morning, everyone followed the monks and listened to the morning lectures. After having a fast meal in the temple, they went back down the mountain.
Sitting on the carriage going back, Daiyu complained unhappily: "Oh, it's so boring. I finally got out, but I can only stay in the temple and can't go anywhere. If I had known, I wouldn't be here."
Coming."
Jiusi looked through the account book in his hand and comforted her: "If you want to go out to play, just wait until you have a rest in two days, and I will take you out to play again."
The account books haven't been processed for a few days, and they have piled up again. It seems that I am busy again.
Daiyu thought for a while and said: "It's so boring just the two of us. Why don't we invite Sister Bao and Yingchun to join us? It's more fun when there are more people!"
In fact, she wanted to ask Baoyu to come with her, but she remembered that her sister didn't like her mentioning Baoyu, so she didn't dare to mention him. She only told her sister when it was time to set off.
Although Jiusi didn't look at her, he could guess from the tone of her voice that she wanted to call not only Xue Baochai and the others, but also Jia Baoyu, but she didn't say it, so she just pretended that she didn't know.
.
At least she knows how to avoid taboos now, which means that she is developing in a good direction. It still takes a long time and she is not in a hurry.
She threw the account book beside her to her and said: "You can invite them then and see if they are willing to come out with you. Now you should help me read the account book together!"
Daiyu held the account book with a painful expression on her face: "Ah... but I don't want to read it, sister, can I not read it?"
Jiusi replied expressionlessly: "No, you have to watch it, otherwise you won't be able to play."
Daiyu:…………
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…Okay then, I will be exhausted no matter how hard it is!"
Jiusi:……(￢_￢)
Daiyu: "Okay, sister, I'll take a look right now, I won't bother you."
Jiusi: emmm......
Why do you like talking in weird ways so much?
It’s really difficult!
Although Daiyu's words are a bit eccentric, her abilities are very good. Apart from anything else, she is really not slow in handling the account books.
The two sisters came together, and there were maids nearby to help organize it. It didn't take long for them to read less than half of it.
Although the carriage was no longer bumpy, it was still not firmly on the ground. It didn't take long for the two of them to pinch their eyebrows tiredly.
It happened that the carriage stopped again, so Daiyu put the account books aside and suggested to Jiusi: "Sister, why don't we go down and go for a walk with the other sisters? It's boring to stay in the carriage all the time." Jiu Si thought that Jia Baoyu was not here anyway, so it would be good to talk with Sanchun and the others, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go down and stretch our muscles."
It is now the end of summer and early autumn, and the scenery is quite good. The air is filled with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, which makes people feel happy.
When Tanchun saw the two people coming down, he greeted them: "Come on, look at the sweet-scented osmanthus growing on the roadside here. It smells even better than the ones grown in the yard at home!" p>
Yingchun also nodded and agreed: "Yes, not only does it smell better, but the colors of the flowers are also different."
Shi Xiangyun smelled the fragrance of the flowers and couldn't help but think of the sweet and delicious osmanthus cake, so he blurted out: "I think picking some osmanthus flowers and going back to make osmanthus cakes will be more delicious than making them with osmanthus flowers at home. Why don't we pick some osmanthus flowers?"
How about going back and trying it?"
Xue Baochai smiled and nodded, and said in agreement: "This is very good. If you pick more, you can not only make osmanthus cakes, but also make osmanthus tea, osmanthus brew, and osmanthus nectar."
After hearing this, Xichun also nodded: "My sister also has this intention."
"Since you all want to try it, let's pick some. After making the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, what's left is used to make other things?"
"Very good, very good..."
After saying that, they ordered their maids to fetch small baskets and began to pick osmanthus flowers from the osmanthus trees on the roadside.
When Jia Mu saw it, she laughed and said: "These greedy monkeys, when they saw this flower, they didn't want to enjoy the scenery, but wanted to pick it back for food. It's really dumbfounding."
When the mandarin duck who was waiting at the side heard this, he handed her tea and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, this is a rare time for girls to come out, they are just a little playful."
