Chapter 238

The second wife held the shawl and refused to put it down. She was busy responding to her liking, and asked someone to make tea for Jinniang, her face was much more enthusiastic than when Jinniang just entered the room.

After drinking tea for a while, the second wife asked with a smile: "Did you send something specially for me today? It's so cold, why don't you just send it by yourself, and come here by yourself." , not afraid of freezing."

Jinniang knew that she was trying to find out her true intentions, so she smiled and said: "Oh, I really have something else I want to tell Second Aunt, I am really embarrassed and feel sorry for Second Aunt. "

What Jinniang said was nonsensical, and the second wife went through the events of the past few days in her heart, but she didn't find that Jinniang had done anything to offend her. It's just that I heard that Aunt Liu She was beaten and locked in a dark room. Naturally, this matter has nothing to do with Jinniang. Therefore, when she saw Jinniang coming, she raised her guard a little bit. Now she came to give something , I apologized again, and my heart became even more upset. Could it be that I did something that I didn't know to hurt myself.

Then he smiled and said, "We're all a family, so there's nothing wrong with what you say or do."

After hearing this, Jinniang thanked her and said: "I know that Second Aunt is the most polite person, but Jinniang is also sorry, it's better to explain this matter to Second Aunt earlier, one is to apologize, the other is , but also to prepare Second Aunt."

The second wife stopped laughing and looked at Jinniang seriously. Jinniang took a sip of tea and took a sip slowly, looking a little anxious, as if mustering up her courage, she said: "It's not a big deal at all. , that is my eldest sister, who sent a few people to the third uncle a few days ago, and begged the third uncle to take a share in the shop in the east of the city. Alas, you saw it yesterday, my eldest sister is not doing well at her husband’s house. Shu Xin, her mother-in-law and brother-in-law don't like her very much, so it's no wonder she's not a good-natured person herself, but in that case, money will be tight, and she's used to spending a lot of money, so, That's why I thought about it." At this point, Jinniang stopped to take a sip of tea, and cast a glance at the second wife.

Sure enough, seeing her serious face and sharper eyes, Jinniang's expression became more apprehensive, and she continued: "She was begging me to come, and I have only been in the mansion for a long time, but I don't have the ability to let her To participate in the stock market, I also persuaded her not to use such thoughts, the shop in the east of the city is connected to many noble households.

But she just didn't listen, and even thought of a way to persuade the third uncle. Yesterday, the third uncle went to Jinniang's room to talk, and Jinniang knew that the third uncle really got her [-]% of the shares..., but... ...This share is in the hands of your uncle. This... what is this? I hurriedly told my third uncle not to do that, but you know his temper. Two beauties for him... and someone invited him to play in Dicui Tower for two days, naturally..."

She didn't need Jinniang to say more about the following words, the second wife naturally understood, her face turned green when she only listened to half of it, and her hands trembled a little while serving the tea, but she was always calm, even though her complexion was very Not good, but it was just a curse: "The third bastard, he is always out of tune. I heard this morning that he insisted on changing the accountant. You are the same, Jinniang. You should also mess with him in these matters. Hehe, once you are fooled by him, you also follow him to speak for him, see, the little money your eldest sister put in may be used up by him within a few months."

Jinniang lowered her eyebrows and looked like she was listening to the training. She was aggrieved but also very guilty. The expression made the second wife want to scold but couldn't go on scolding. She apologized as soon as she opened her mouth, and even sent something. As the saying goes , I can’t blame others for being soft-spoken and short-handed, besides, it’s no fault of Jinniang. It's useless, it's rare that you have the heart to give you such a good thing, I have to give you a backup in return."

As she said that, she went into the back room by herself, and Jin Niang hurriedly said from behind: "Second Aunt, you don't have to be polite, there is no need to return the gift, I am a junior, so I should be filial to you, Auntie."

The second aunt turned her head and gave her a sharp look and said, "I'm only happy for you to be filial, but not for me to love you." Then she closed the curtain.

Jinniang wondered, how could the second aunt be so kind and wanted to give something to herself?

Just thinking about it, the second wife came out from the back room, holding a powder box in her hand, walked to Jinniang and sat down, opened the powder box and showed it to Jinniang. When the box was opened, a fresh fragrance was refreshing, and Jinniang couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but took a deep breath, it was refreshing with mint, the fragrance of lotus, and the fragrance of mulberry leaves, which made people feel refreshed, and Jinniang fell in love with it when she saw it.

The second wife picked up a piece of incense and said to Jinniang: "This is from the palace. It is called Sanglian Mint. It is made in secret. It is the most refreshing and refreshing. It can also repel insects. Order a piece and put it in the back room. It is the most delicious." Comfortable. I got four boxes a while ago, and I gave one box to Meier, so I’ll give this box to you, and don’t let you go back empty-handed.”

After hearing this, Jinniang took it with a smile, thanked the second wife, and asked, "Where is Brother Xuan, why didn't you see him? But you're going to school again?"

The second wife's face sank again when she heard this, and she said, "Who knows what he's up to, he didn't know where he went early in the morning, and now he's hiding in the study room by himself as soon as he comes back. I'm willing to see you, oh, I really can't help my mother."

Jinniang paid attention when she heard this. It seems that Leng Huating probably didn't go to other courtyards, but went back to the mansion directly. It's just that... I don't know where his study is, and I can't ask the second wife. I don't know if he has found anything, but his feet are still not healed, whether he can walk or not, he was worried for a while, so he said a few more words to the second wife, and then left.

The second wife sent her out, insisting on sending her further away, Jinniang hurriedly said: "Second aunt, please stop, it's cold outside, I'll just go back by myself."

The second wife didn't insist, she sent her out of the hall and entered the house.

Jinniang saw Yan'er wiping household belongings in the hallway with sharp eyes, and asked with a smile, "Yan'er is the son of a family in the East Mansion?"

Yan'er was grateful to Jin Niang, and hurriedly stopped what she was doing and replied: "Yes, the servant is born in the family, and there are my mother and elder brother at home, my mother is in charge of the second wife's small kitchen, and my elder brother is at the second door. As an errand, Second Young Mistress, are you leaving now? This servant will give you a lift."
