"I see that Juan Niang has grown up and is quite impressive. Not only is she more handsome than you when you were young, she is also smarter than you.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Juan Niang is better than me, and when the time comes, she will also be better off than me! " Lin Jia pretended to be angry, but how could the mother be angry with her own daughter? Although she pretended to be angry, she could not hide the smile on her face.
"Of course!" With that, the Grand Madam was overjoyed as he instructed the Nanny Chen to take out the gift he had prepared earlier. It was a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with sapphire, and an Eight Treasures Pinch a golden lock. However, when the Grand Madam took this item out of the red lacquer box, the room immediately became silent.
Although everyone knew that the Grand Madam had a lot of good things in his hands, no one expected Lady Wang to be so generous. The sapphire inlaid on the bracelets were all the size of a small fingernail, sparkling and translucent.
Not only had the golden lock been lit, it was actually densely covered with buddhist scriptures, said that it had been personally carved by the master of the Dafu Temple. This was not a person who could be moved just because he had money.
Now that Lin Jia has already begun to host the First Princess Pingning Palace and is starting to feed it, naturally, she was able to tell that the things that the Grand Madam had given him were all good things with a single glance. Furthermore, she noticed that the Second Madam and Lin Qian by her side were having a bad expression, and rejected the offer without even thinking: "Grandmother, this thing is too precious.
"Why would it ruin her good fortune? When Juan Niang was just born, I used the words' birth date 'to request for the host of Dafu Temple to calculate, and said that Juan Niang was indeed a rich person, in the future, she will definitely be open-minded, and everything will go smoothly. You are afraid of ruining your daughter's fortune, how can I, a great-grandmother, not be afraid? " Grand Madam was genuinely fond of the Juan Niang in front of her, to the point of faintly surpassing her great-granddaughter Sister Pearl.
Actually, just thinking about it made her understand. The last time she had seen Juan Niang, she had seen him in her infancy. It was only because Juan Niang was now like her most beloved granddaughter, that she felt a bit more pain.
At that time, Lin Jia spent the entire night with her, little girl. She couldn't even hold her feet down to the ground, but she stretched out her sleeves to wipe her tears, and only said, "Grandmother, don't cry, Sister Jia is still here, Sister Jia will protect Grandmother."
Even though she was old, she was not an idiot. Lin Lian treated her dutifully, but the remaining five were true feelings, and the rest were fawning on her. The way the rest of her granddaughters and grandsons treated her was not even comparable to Lin Lian's.
Other than Nanny Chen, no one knew what she was thinking in her heart. Lin Jia only felt grateful, after all, no matter how much good stuff her grandmother had, it would have nothing to do with her.
Moreover, she still had her younger brother and sister that hadn't gotten married yet. Whether it was as a betrothal gift for her future sister-in-law or as a dowry for her little sisters, that pair of bracelets was still a matter of great honor!
Lin Qian had been to the Grand Madam's warehouse a few times, but she had never seen such a pair of bangles before. Just now, he had liked her very much, his big sister was the dignified First Princess Pingning's eldest daughter, what kind of treasures did he have, to actually be able to go back to her mother's house to fight over them?
Fortunately, during this period of time, she had been depressed over her marriage with Duke Andong Palace. No one had connected her unhappiness to this matter.
Lin Hui even went over to touch the bracelet, and said while clicking her tongue: "Grandmother really has a lot of good things here!"
Lin Jia held his sister's hand and ridiculed: "Do you regret it now? If you have nothing else to do in the future, you can just get Green Pine Academy to honor your grandmother. In the future, your grandmother will leave more good things for you all. "
Lin Hui only giggled as she said.
"Now that you're all grown up, I don't know what you all like to write, but there's no shortage of bracelets and jewelry." Now that you're all grown up, I don't know what you all like to write, there's no shortage of bracelets and jewelry. "I brought a lot of ink and paper back from the Forin for my brothers, and brought some high-quality jasmine tea for all of you, as well as some other nourishing items for the abalones. Although there are some of them in the capital as well, but even if those stores are not good enough, I would not have been able to catch up with them, and if not for that, I wouldn't have brought them back."
Following that, her gaze landed on Lin Shu who was at the back of the group deliberately, and waved at her with a smile, saying: "You are Sister Shu right? "It's been so many years since we last met, but you look much more beautiful now. I thought you were born well since you were young, but I didn't expect you to be so good-looking after so many years. Come quickly and let me have a good look at you!"
Lin Shu was a little stunned. Why would Lin Jia think so highly of her? Even if it wasn't Lin Hui and Lin Qian, it should be Lin Lian who was raised by the Grand Madam.
However, she still went forward and called out, "Big Sis."
Lin Jia did not feel depressed or proud like the First Madam. Due to the warm smile on her face at all times, her entire body emitted a sense of tranquility.
Now, she was even holding Lin Shu's hand. Looking at him carefully for a moment, she finally understood why Princess Changze recommended Lin Shu to First Princess Pingning. Lin Shu was not considered the prettiest, but she was like a melilotus flower. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she looked, to the point that she even suppressed all the girls in the room.
Such a good girl, what a pity …
Lin Hui took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on for Lin Shu without any explanation. Then, she smiled and said, "When I originally married, you were young, so I didn't see you much when I came back, and it had been many years since I last saw you at the Forin … I usually bring this bracelet with me, if you don't mind, then bring it along! "
Lin Shu looked down and saw that the jade bracelet was clear and bright, it could not be considered to be ordinary.
She felt even more shocked, the fact that the First Princess Pingning brought his family back to the capital was already different from how it was in her previous life. And for what? "Thank you, big sister. The things you give me are naturally excellent. How could I dislike them?"
Lin Qian wanted to cry out in grievance.
She was the one who was going to get married, alright? It was as if they had all forgotten about her.
Now that the Grand Madam was very happy, he slowly patted the Juan Niang's back. "Tell me, why don't you leave today, you guys stay at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion together for a few days."
"Forget it, since Big Brother is accompanying Big Master and drank a few cups of wine, it's time for Big Brother to return. Right now, the First Princess is the only one here, I'm afraid there are too many places to clean up, it's not good to leave the First Princess alone in the palace, it's better for Big Master to go back!" Lin Jia's smile was a bit forced.
Seeing that, how could the Grand Madam not understand? He only ordered the Nanny Chen to go forward and prepare food.
Lin Jia only smiled as she talked about what happened in the Forin. When the rainy season arrived, the Forin would create a lot of water, and many times, she had even brought Juan Niang to the courtyard to fish, and when the weather was good, she would bring him to the Litchi tree. She had asked the servant girl to pick some Litchi branches from the Juan Niang …
Lin Hui who had always been a good Litchi, almost drooled when she heard this.
But Grand Madam and First Madam only heard this with tears in their eyes. Which one of the women in the capital didn't rely on the flowers to enjoy the fragrance every day? Just with Sister Jia being so pitiful, the Eldest Young Master had already rushed over at such a young age …
After the meal was finished, Grand Madam left Lin Jia alone. I have always felt that you are the smartest, but what intentions do First Princess Pingning have that no one knows better than you? Why did you think so highly of Sister Shu in front of everyone just now? What should we do if someone looks at us? "
Not many people knew about this matter today, and even the First Madam was hiding it from them.
Lin Jia heaved a long sigh, and said: "Even though my relationship with Sister Shu wasn't that deep, she is still my cousin after all. She comes from such a great family, and looking at First Princess's attitude now, I'm afraid she won't let go … Grandmother, I have tried to persuade her as much as I could, and even though I have said what I had to say, First Princess still refused to let go!
"I know, I know! If you had agreed to it that day, why would it be First Princess Pingning who wrote to us? At that time, I had already guessed a thing or two. Silly girl, why don't you go against First Princess Pingning's words when doing something like that, why not? Exactly what decision you make in the end is far from something that you can decide! " The Grand Madam looked at her lovingly, his eyes revealing genuine concern. "Speaking of this matter, it's not something I can decide. Now, you still have to test the attitude of the First Princess Pingning …"
Saying that, even the Grand Madam started to feel suspicious, "There are so many girls in the capital, it's just fine. Why would the First Princess Pingning want to go to the Sister Shu?"
Lin Jia shook her head, and said: "Ever since Second Uncle died, First Princess Pingning's mind has been in a trance, let alone knowing about Sister Shu, even Juan Niang does not like him, it's really hard to fathom this kind of personality. When I asked her about the news of the Sister Shu, she already felt that something was wrong. But who knew that the First Princess Pingning would say something like that in the end, Grandmother, do you agree or not agree to it? I didn't think that he would agree to it so easily. What's the attitude of Fifth Uncle Uncle and Fifth Aunt? "
