Chapter 107 Looking at 2
Another girl wears a lotus-colored dress with silver thread and lotus-rimmed skirts. Her long hair is combed into a concentric bun often combed by young women. A few bead flowers and a jade tassel are inserted, but the jade tassel is special. The top is made of red jade to make a small carp with a The skin is very white, the eyebrows are bent, the willow eyes are, and the expression is light. It is not very beautiful, but it is also dignified and generous. It can be seen that it has been carefully dressed.
Miss Sun gently answered Tao Fengxiang's praise: "At my age, the third girl embroiders better than me."
Mrs. Sun looked back at her sister-in-law's temperature and expression, but said seriously, "Well, let's go in first to meet Mrs. Tao, so don't delay the third girl."
The girl also said goodbye to Tao Fengxiang and followed her sister-in-law into the hall.
Tao Fengxiang turned around and said, "Arong, have you seen it clearly? What do you think? Have you seen her tassel hairpin? The red jade carp on top is very special, isn't it? Her name is Red Carp."
With this pin that is clearly specially made, other girls' makeup may not be poor. At the very least, Lin Yizhi is also worthy.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help smiling: "It looks pretty good, just like Mrs. Sun's temperament is a little strict." However, at a glance, I can't really see it clearly. Many people look good at it at first glance, but it may not be the case when they actually come into contact with them. But what can it do? Unless it's a well-known family friend or relative, it's like a big luck. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Tao Fengxiang whispered, "You're right. The Sun family is not very prosperous. The old lady passed away very early. As soon as the young lady entered the door, she became a housekeeper and took care of her father-in-law, aunt and uncle's family. There were a lot of things to do at a young age. Do you He is really nice, but he is two years older than Lin Yizhi, and his parents died early. The eldest sister-in-law is in charge. It is not a good match in the eyes of many people.
If you want to set her down, even if she is rich in makeup, I'm afraid that Tao will be criticized a lot, which is really a little difficult.
It doesn't matter. Anyway, don't let Fan into the door." Let's talk about it again.
After tossing around a few more times, I finally heard that Tao Fengxiang said that the Fan family was coming. Mrs. Fan was a bloated woman in her forties. She was wearing a golden clay shirt and a blue skirt, and a crown. She smiled like Maitreya Buddha, leading a half-hanging her head and wearing a pink and green shirt The head lady gathered around. Without waiting for Tao Fengxiang to speak, Mrs. Fan had already smiled and said, "Third girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become a big girl." Her tone was familiar and kind, and she glanced on Lin Jinrong's body without a trace, and even gave Lin Jinrong a kind smile.
Lin Jinrong replied to Mrs. Fan with a smile. Her eyes fell on Fan Bing behind her. At this moment, Fan has not yet fully grown. He is a little thin. His hair is combed with a double bun, and two ordinary small golden hairpins and beads are inserted on the bun. Although the pink-green dress is clustered new, the face is not powdery. The eyebrows are clear, the expression is silent and obedient, and there is a little shyness behind Mrs. Fan, and she almost doesn't squint. He looks honest, obedient and simple.
What a little girl who can pretend. Lin Jinrong sneered slightly, winned at Tao Fengxiang, and followed up to see the fun.
A large group of women in the room were talking lively. Some of them knew the Tao family and were pulling the Tao family to talk about the past. The rest who did not know them were also introduced to the Tao family by the Wu family. While talking to Tongren, Tao's eyes sneaked to Sun's aunt and sister-in-law from time to time.
Sun's aunt and sister-in-law are also greeting people they know each other. Two young daughters-in-law are pulling Sun Hongli to take her skirt, praising her girl's red, and praising the elegant and special jade tassel hairpin on her head. Sun Hongli smiled faintly and answered everyone's words gently and politely. He looked quite popular. Mrs. Cut still looks like she doesn't smile. While talking to people, she is also secretly looking at Dow.
Although it was not clear, they were still waiting and watching, they were also a little counted in each other's hearts. The two people's eyes inadvertently met, and they were a little embarrassed for a moment. Mrs. Sun looked straight at Tao. Tao was a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded to her politely and smiled. Mrs. Sun also smiled, but her eyes did not withdraw from Tao's, and she naturally looked up and down carefully.
Dow thought, it's my family's daughter-in-law, but it's not your family's choice. What do you want to do by looking back and forth like this? There is some unhappiness at the moment. But her attention was soon attracted by the mother and daughter of the Fan family who had just come in. Mrs. Fan was not the object of her attention, but Miss Fan beside Mrs. Fan. Seeing that Miss Fan did not raise her head, did not squint, was honest and obedient, shy and timid, silent, and did not do anything, she was a little satisfied. The concubine's daughter and the concubine's son, that's right.
Lin Jinrong looked at Tao's eyes, and he was a little panicked. She knows Dow's psychology, or the general psychology of most of the main rooms. I think that the son of a concubine should be matched with a concubine's daughter. It's better to have a good family background, but I can't be favored. An honest concubine can't afford to turn over the waves.
Look at these two candidates. Sun Hongli is the legitimate daughter, and her family is also prosperous. Look at the appearance of her sister-in-law. She is also a strong-minded person. If it hadn't been for the loss of both parents, old and the eldest son, and being disliked, it would have been impossible to marry a concubine who has no future to be angry. And Miss Fan, who has been making a living under her stepmother for a long time, looks at this cowardly, silent,
I have to say that Mrs. Fan felt the same way. She was very accurate about Tao's psychology of picking his daughter-in-law for the concubine. After looking at the Tao family, she pretended not to know her. She watched the girl of the Tao family serve tea and sat still. Miss Fan got up and took it with her own hands, I took a sip leisurely. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but sympathize with Miss Fan. At the age of marriage, they brought it out for the first time, but it was such a situation. But she saw that Miss Fan looked as usual. After Mrs. Fan finished drinking tea, she came forward to pick it up and put it away. She didn't sit down, so she stood quietly beside Mrs. Fan. It was not until Mrs. Fan opened her mouth that she sat next to Mrs. Fan in a regular manner, advancing and retreating as usual, and with good manners.
Seeing this, even if everyone slandered Mrs. Fan as fierce as a tigressor, they had to admire her strict and correct rules. They had no choice but to think that if the people in their own room and the sons and daughters of concubines were so obedient, wouldn't it save a lot of worry?
Lin Jinrong looked at the Tao family again. He saw that the Tao family was a little more willing in his eyes. He didn't even look at other aunts and sisters-in-law. He couldn't help sighing secretly. No wonder the aunt Zhou Shi chose this Fan family in those years. The old lady agreed without thinking My daughter-in-law is at peace. Fight to the death. Now it seems that Miss Fan, regardless of her family background and identity, is more suitable for Lin Yizhi than cutting red carp. But this person is determined not to enter the Lin family. The gloomy and sinister nature is enough for people to drink a pot. Lin Jinrong thought hard about how to destroy this marriage naturally. She doesn't want to make a big deal, as long as Tao doesn't like Miss Fan.
In a short time, the guests arrived, and the Wu family led everyone out to the building to watch the play. Except for Tao Fengqing, who was still idle, everyone took their seats. Wu deliberately arranged for Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Tao to sit at the next table with Mrs. Sun's aunt and Mrs. Lin Jinrong and Miss Fan.
Lin Jinrong pricked up his ears and listened. Mrs. Fan naturally talked to Mr. Dow and flattered Mr. Dow without a trace. In the words that Mr. Dow liked, Mr. Dow was made to laugh by her and even said that she was interesting.
As the two of them spoke, their heads came to one place, and their eyes floated to Miss Fan several times.
Sun's aunt and sister-in-law seemed to understand something. Sun Hongli's face was covered with powder, and her eyes were hanging down, and she couldn't see anything strange. There was a trace of shame in her wife's eyes. She looked at Dow's eyes a little unhappy, but for some reason, she swallowed it and star Fan's mother and daughter glanced at it and hit the melon seeds angrily.
Miss Fan's seat was just next to Lin Jinrong. She half lowered her eyes and didn't eat much, but she didn't look like she was fascinated by the play.
Just pretend to be bony and honest! I can't eat anything. Are you afraid that the marriage will not work? Lin Jinrong held his chin and thought for a moment. He picked up the plate full of longan in front of him and smiled and handed it to Aunt Sun Hongli: "Mrs. Sun and Miss Sun eat fruit." The sleeve inadvertently knocked over the teacup in front of him. The teacup gurgling twice, and finally fell down. The tea sprinkled on Miss Fan.
Miss Fan's muffled face finally showed a trace of panic. She got up in a hurry and shook the tea. The woman behind her quickly took out a veil to wipe her dress, but the material was so pink that it was soaked in tea in an instant, and she couldn't wear it.
Tao Fengxiang also turned his finger at Lin Jinrong not far away, indicating that she had gone bad. Lin Jinrong ignored Tao Fengxiang, with a stunned look on his face. After a while, he sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to. It's all mine. Can I compensate you for a dress? As he spoke, he took his own handkerchief to wipe it for Miss Fan, but his eyes were looking at the Sun's sister-in-law.
But seeing a trace of laughter flashed in Mrs. Cut's eyes, she looked up elsewhere with slight disdain. Don't look down on the red carp, ask the girl for a handkerchief, silently wipe the tea flowing across the table, and cooperate with the girl to clean up the table.
Miss Fan stared at the tea stains on her new clothes, and her eyes were a little red. She looked at Mrs. Fan timidly and said dryly, "It's okay."
Over there, Mrs. Fan and Tao have noticed the little ** here. Mrs. Fan's face was full of harmony and could not see anything, but Tao stared at Lin Jinrong with warning. Lin Jinrong, with an innocent face, took Miss Fan to get up and laughed with Tao and said, "Mom, I'm clumsy. I stained this sister's dress. We are about the same size. It happens that I have a new dress that I haven't worn. Can I pay this sister for it?"
