As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lin understood. This little girl wanted her to scold Zhou Jiamin for not giving face to her friends.
The old lady banged the faucet crutch: "That's enough. Jiamin, I usually see that you are a well-educated and reasonable girl. Why are you so unruly today? I only have two sons under my knees, and they only gave birth to me." You have a precious granddaughter, what nonsense do you mean by the word grandmother?”
What the old lady said made Zhou Jiamin feel cold in her heart.
Who in Shengjing City knows that the Lin family has three houses in total.
The eldest son is the daughter of the Lin clan's wife from the previous generation, the current old lady. There are only three in the younger generation, namely Lin Qingping, Lin Qingyan and Lin Qishu.
The remaining two wives and the second wife were the concubine of a noble family in her hometown. She was unlucky and died after giving birth to the second wife. Although the second husband was in the name of the old lady, he was actually raised by his mother-in-law. Normally, the old lady Although I don't like him, I won't be too distant.
As for the third aunt, the great aunt who is still alive now is a thorn in the old lady's heart.
Although Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin are not in love, they can be said to be a harmonious couple and respect each other as guests.
But it happened that Mrs. Lin had a sunset love affair when she was getting old, forcing Mrs. Lin to marry a woman from Lefang.
As a top-level noble family in Qian'an, even if the concubine adopted by the clan leader was not from a good family, it was really humiliating to have a concubine from a lowly family.
Because of this incident at that time, the Lin family and Mrs. Lin's natal family were ridiculed for a long time, causing a storm in the city. To this day, some people still use this incident to wake up the direct descendants of the family from time to time.
As a result, the old lady never looks good when she looks at the people in the third room, including her sister, the granddaughter-in-law of the third room.
She racked her brains to serve her, even serving her night incense, so that the old lady, who looked at her from side to side and didn't like her, started to treat her differently.
As soon as she heard the old lady's scolding, she immediately became worried. Could it be that after pretending for so long, she would fail today?
She hasn't persuaded the old lady to hand over the Pinghe County Salt Farm to her brother-in-law!
Her eyes flashed, and she immediately knelt down and saluted: "Old lady, please calm down. Jiamin has never had such a desire to distance herself. She just said the wrong thing because she felt uncomfortable seeing Miss Xie being favored by the old lady today."
Her words of retreat made Xie Fengyue glance at her.
You are worthy of someone who can sit next to Lin Qishu. You speak really well. If you want others to believe what you say, it is never to be honest and sincere, nor to talk nonsense, but to be like Zhou Jiamin this time. , half true and half false.
Lin Qishu rolled her eyes at her without any scruples, and pretended that the matter had been revealed. She couldn't really point her nose in front of so many girls and scold her for her clever words and fickleness.
"Grandma, where is Liu Ying?"
The old lady was getting older, and she already had a sleepy look on her face. She had finished drinking the ginseng tea in her cup, but she still managed to stay strong and said with a smile: "Want to play with her? Then my grandmother sent someone to pick her up." Find it for you.”
After finishing speaking, Xie Fengyue said casually: "This room is a little stuffy. Why don't I take Sister Shu and the other girls to another hall to chat, and the old lady has a rest first."
What Xie Fengyue said was a bit rash, but she knew that the old lady liked such bold and bold girls.
There were not ten but eight girls running towards her all day long. None of them were favored by the old lady. They were really showing their filial piety in the wrong place.
Everyone is timid and cautious in their words and deeds for fear of offending others. Who would want to be unable to hear clearly and have a bunch of girls talking in front of you with low and timid voices? The old lady smiled happily: "Okay, you can take them to the small hall."
After all the girls in the room bowed, they followed Aunt Gui to the small hall, including the girls who were pretending to be laughing and reading in the corridor.
After all, if you stay outside in the sun for a long time, your body will feel uncomfortable.
There was a large group of colorful girls in the small hall, and Lin Qishu naturally pulled Xie Fengyue to sit on the main seat.
She was tired of this kind of collective greeting day. Fortunately, she had Xie Fengyue to accompany her today, otherwise she would have turned away people with a dark face, and at worst, she would have been criticized by her mother.
Xie Fengyue then remembered Liu Ying mentioned by Lin Qishu before, and she asked curiously: "Are you friends with that girl named Liu Ying?"
Lin Qishu almost forgot about this, and felt a little embarrassed when she was suddenly mentioned. She took a sip of water before speaking: "That's the orphan girl my eldest brother brought back."
While she was talking, Biyu had already brought someone in. She was sitting far away at the last seat. Xie Fengyue couldn't see clearly, but she could only see that she had a good figure.
Lin Qishu nodded to Biyu, and she brought him over to sit down.
But Liu Ying had never seen such a big scene, surrounded by bejeweled girls. She didn't dare to sit too far forward, so she sat down on the edge of the food table not far away.
Lin Qishu wrinkled in displeasure, glanced at Xie Fengyue and then said, "Do you think she looks like the same person?"
Xie Fengyue glanced at Liu Ying, who was sitting two seats away, from the corner of her eye. She felt that she couldn't see clearly, so she just looked at her seriously.
Liu Ying had just finished observing her surroundings when she turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful girl looking at her. She remembered that when she first met the Lin family girl, she said she looked like a Xie family girl.
Liu Ying was very confident about her appearance. When she was in her hometown, she was sought after by the young masters from aristocratic families because of her good looks. And because she had seen a lot of the world in Shengjing, she was not as good as the girls from the Lin family. It is indeed very beautiful.
In the past few days, I have also scoffed at people occasionally saying that I look like Miss Xie.
I saw the legendary Miss Xie for the first time today, and I was stunned for a moment.
When I saw this Xie family girl who I had only heard of from other people at such a close distance, I saw that she still had skin as smooth as gel, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her red lips and her teeth were so delicate that they seemed to be able to pinch water. She obviously had a particularly enchanting appearance, but her enchanting aura was resolved by those eyes that were filled with mist and were as clear as glass.
Liu Ying felt dwarfed for a moment, and she didn't even dare to look directly into those beautiful eyes.
Xie Fengyue only took a serious look and then turned to Lin Qishu and said, "Who does she look like? I can't tell, she's just a beauty."
Liu Ying could probably guess what the two girls were talking about, and her face was even more burning like fire. She didn't know how high the world was before, but Miss Xie only looked like that.
Lin Qishu squeezed Xie Fengyue's hand and turned to look at Liu Ying several times: "Hey, it's strange. When you were not around before, I always felt that you two were similar. Why are you not the same today?"

She didn't stop saying this, and the girl next to her who heard the words echoed, "Who does it look like? What does it look like?"
