Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 171 Miss Wang Family
At that time, Luo Jinxiu had no idea that her man was being targeted by some inexplicable people.

The day before the small year, Luo Jinxiu was busy at 'Jinxiuyuan' all day long, taking care of everything that needed to be done. From 23rd to 28th, there will be a total of six days to sell New Year's suits. On 29th, the store will officially close. It will open on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and the New Year's suits will naturally not continue to be sold after that, so the first few days of the new year will be very busy, and if you don't want to be stuck here every day, you have to arrange everything in advance.

On the day of the 23rd, under the leadership of the old Duke, the people of the Duke's Mansion worshiped the Stove King early in the morning, and then received several groups of people who came to give New Year's gifts.

This is the case with these dignitaries in the capital. Although there is still about a week before the real Chinese New Year, some people from official families who are not so close but have to go through the motions will give New Year gifts, coming and going The flow of people continued almost from morning to evening, and it was completely obvious how many people wanted to make friends with the Duke's Mansion.

Generally, those who come to pay New Year’s greetings and give gifts are received by the main family. The elders of the Duke’s Mansion, headed by the son and his wife who are currently in charge of the general reception, are happy to introduce her and Yun Jinghao to more people. , The conversation was full of pride, but the guests who came for several consecutive days from this day, except for a few who would specially bring them along, did not ask to see them.

From this, they can also judge which of the people who come to the door are people who the Duke's Mansion is more optimistic about and have some interest in dealing with. For the rest, if the other party comes to give gifts, but they don't want to accept them, can they still be kicked out?It can only be calculated by sending similar gifts in return afterwards.

From 24 to 29, there are many customs among the people, such as cleaning the house, grinding tofu, cutting New Year’s meat, slaughtering New Year’s chickens to go to the market, steaming steamed buns, etc., but these are done by ordinary people. The government, at least the masters It is impossible to do these things by yourself, mainly the stewardesses in the mansion lead the servants below to do it.

By the 29th, the people who came to pay New Year's greetings have been replaced by people who are close to the Duke's Mansion. Today's Duke's Mansion is particularly lively, and there are also many guests. In addition to other high-ranking officials who have a good relationship with the old Duke, Or the Zhou family, Wu family and other natal families, as well as the Zhang family who have inherited Luo Jinxiu's favor, the Wei family, the queen's natal Jiang family, and the current first and second rank officials in the court, these people don't care about He Guo Whether the relationship between the government and the government is good or not, you must do enough superficial work.

People who are close to the house will stay at the house for an extra half an hour, and the rest of the people will leave after giving the New Year gifts and greetings.

But among these people, there is clearly one more exception.

"Is our family very close to this Zuodu Censor Wang's family?" Luo Jinxiu asked Yan Jingshu next to her in a low voice, looking at Mrs. Wang who was very enthusiastically joking with her eldest aunt and wife, always feeling strange.

Yan Jingshu was also confused, "I haven't heard of it. I used to send New Year's gifts, but like other people, I left after a few words. Why did my attitude suddenly become so strange this year..."

A sentence popped up in Luo Jinxiu's mind involuntarily - to be courteous for nothing, to rape or steal!
Could it be that the royal family has something to ask the Duke's Mansion for help?

The third lady looked at her daughter and Luo Jinxiu muttering there, shook her head helplessly, but didn't remind them anything, because she happened to be sitting next to each other and could hear what they were saying, why didn't she feel puzzled?

Mrs. Wang's attitude is indeed extraordinary. As a female family member of the Duke's Mansion, and she was born in an official family, she can guess the hidden purpose of some wives' behaviors and behaviors, and she can have a seven or seven. Eighty-eight.

Her guess and Luo Jinxiu's guess at this time were a little different. From Mrs. Wang's casual mention of her daughter Miss Wang's family a few times during her conversation, she guessed that the other party was probably trying to marry their family, right?

Who else is an unmarried man of the right age in the family?Isn't there only one Jing Cheng, and Jing Cheng is the son of his sister-in-law, no wonder Mrs. Wang's attitude is so eager.

But... the third lady frowned. The Duke's Mansion has always allowed the juniors in the family to freely choose their sweethearts. Unless they have no intention of pursuing feelings and explicitly asked the elders in the family to help find someone with a suitable family background, it would be possible to deliberately choose a sweetheart. Choose from some ladies from aristocratic families with good reviews.

The dignitaries in the capital and even ordinary people know this, so basically no one will come to ask for marriage. What's going on today?

The third lady always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of the key point for a while, so she could only let go of the doubts in her heart for the time being, and continue to entertain Mrs. Wang together with her sister-in-law.

After the two parties talked for a while, Miss Wang suddenly blushed and said something in Madam Wang's ear, then bowed to them and left, no one was surprised at all.

Luo Jinxiu took one more look at Miss Wang's family. When she left, she gave him a half-hearted look. That look seemed to be provocative, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows. What's wrong with this woman?Why do you feel hostile towards her?She doesn't know anyone from the Wang family at all.

After a while, Miss Wang's family still hadn't come back, and Luo Jinxiu and the juniors were not interested in the conversation between the elders, so the third lady asked them to go down to play too.

Luo Jinxiu couldn't wish for it, and she was the most impatient with these entertainments. Isn't she experienced enough in modern times?It's so easy to come here and live as you want, but during the New Year's Eve, you have to deal with people who obviously don't have much relationship with the relatives of the Duke's Mansion, so why bother.

But only she and Yan Jingshu came out. The Zhou family and the Wu family are both married daughters-in-law. At this time, it is natural to stay and learn how to deal with the guests who come to the door in the future. As for the two of them, one is an unmarried girl, and the other is The granddaughter-in-law who has a special status in the Duke's Mansion and cannot be generalized with other daughter-in-laws can still get some special treatment and be pampered by the elders in the family.

As soon as she came out, Yan Jingshu pulled her arm with a smile and said, "Cousin, you said that Miss Wang's family just went to the bathroom, why is she so slow, could it be that she lost her way?"

Luo Jinxiu poked her forehead speechlessly, "What are you talking about? You, a little girl, can say such things casually." Just open your mouth and go to the toilet... Let others be scared to death when they hear it. The lady of the Duke's mansion actually kept such words on her lips.

Although...she was also very surprised that the other party disappeared for almost a quarter of an hour after only going to the toilet. After such a long time, she could have sat through the latrine.

Could it be that the other party didn't go to the toilet, but for some other purpose?

Thinking of Miss Wang's look at her before she left, Luo Jinxiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, grabbed Yan Jingshu who was walking forward, and asked, "Jing Hao and the others should be in the front yard now?"

Yan Jingshu didn't know why she would suddenly ask this question, but she replied honestly: "Should they have already returned to the hospital? Grandfather is impatient to receive ordinary people, and Mr. Wang's official position is not too high. It doesn't matter, uncle usually doesn't let the juniors accompany him when he sees the guests, and he will leave after saying hello."

Luo Jinxiu's eyelids twitched, feeling more and more that something was wrong, "Let's go to Lanyue Residence together, I'm afraid that Miss Wang family has no good intentions."

"Huh?" Yan Jingshu was suddenly dragged by her and hurried to Lanyue Residence. She didn't quite understand what she meant for a while, until she figured it out halfway, and exclaimed: "Ah! What should she do?" Could it be because he fell in love with Cousin Jing Hao?"

Luo Jinxiu didn't stop, she walked faster and faster, and said with a sneer: "Nine times out of ten, if that's the case, huh, this lady from the official family is really nothing more than that." Even married men are worried about it. It's impossible to be a concubine because of her status, and the rules of the Duke's Mansion are also there, so maybe she even has the idea of ​​kicking her out and replacing her!
On the other side, Miss Wang, who didn't know that Luo Jinxiu was on her way, did, as she expected, secretly bring her maid to Lanyue Residence to wait for the rabbit.

Miss Wang's way of striking up a conversation is not very clever, it is nothing more than a chance meeting first, let Yun Jinghao be amazed by her well-dressed self first, and then make some ambiguous gestures and some verbal hints, according to her estimation, It was time for Yun Jinghao to be fascinated by himself, and go back to discuss the matter of marrying her with the elders of the Duke's Mansion.

If it doesn't go so smoothly, leave a good impression first, and then find a way to create chance encounters in the future, and get along with each other, what is Luo Jinxiu?
When Yun Jinghao returned to the yard, Miss Wang's family was confidently thinking about it. When she saw his tall and straight figure, her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously covered her chest. stand up.

When Yun Jinghao got closer and saw that he was about to enter the hospital, Miss Wang quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and rushed out at the right time.

Yun Jinghao had already noticed that someone was hiding in the corner not far away, but he didn't know what the other party's intention was, at least he didn't feel any murderous intent, it shouldn't be that someone sneaked into the Duke's mansion with the intention of committing crimes, if not, Miss Wang's family As soon as he came out, he would definitely use thunderous means to take him down and throw him to the guards in the mansion.

Even so, when he saw the other party bumping straight in front of him, he still lowered his face and moved to the side extremely quickly.

Miss Wang's family swears that the other party will definitely not refuse the embrace of a beautiful woman, who would have thought that the other party would actually avoid it!She rushed so fast that she didn't have time to stop, and a small stone that came out of nowhere in front of her tripped her, and she didn't even have a chance to stagger to stabilize her figure, and she fell face-to-face on the ground Had a big somersault!

The straight bridge of the nose was placed on the hard stone surface, and the pain caused her to burst into tears, and she couldn't help crying out in pain, "Ah—"

"Oh my God! Miss—!" The maid beside Miss Wang's family was also confused by this unexpected result. She stared dumbfounded for a while, and seeing that her own lady was still lying on the ground, she hurried over to try to help her up.
