Concubine Ming saw that Lin Jinyan's words were sincere and didn't seem to be fake. She also saw Lin Jinyan calling Feng Siyao by his first name. Feng Siyao accepted it happily, and she knew that the two of them were already close to each other.
I heard from Chu Chengping before that Feng Siyao had made friends, and Concubine Ming was afraid that the Grand Tutor's granddaughter was scheming and had plans for Feng Siyao, but now that she looked more closely, she didn't look like that.
Thinking that Chu Cheng usually mentioned the two ladies of the Lin family, Concubine Ming asked in a soft tone:
"I heard that Siyao and the two young ladies in the house have a close friendship. Is the other one coming today?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanrong stood up and saluted with lowered eyes, facing the gaze of everyone. Although her voice was small, her tone was calm.
"Why is such a beautiful girl lowering her head?"
Lin Wanrong forced herself to raise her head and look at Concubine Ming who was speaking. The watery eyes were black and white, clean and clear, flashing with nervousness.
Feng Siyao: "Aunt, Wanrong is timid and doesn't like to stand out in front of others. You are elegant and unsophisticated. She will inevitably be nervous when she sees you."
Concubine Ming laughed and said: "You kid, how can I be in trouble for such a cute little girl? What's more, I'm your friend, so you need your sweet words to coax me?"
Crown Princess: "These two ladies from the Lin family are indeed very popular, and the queen mother often praises them."
Seeing that everyone was surrounding Sister Lin Jinyan and praising her, Zhou Yuexue put herself aside and deliberately wiped her tears with a loud gesture.
After Concubine Ming saw it, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. After sitting down a few people, she asked with a smile:
"Miss Zhou was moved to tears when she heard about Siyao's life experience. Do you think she has a close relationship with Siyao?"
Zhou Yuexue: "Returning to your Majesty, I shed tears not only because I feel sorry for Miss Feng, but also because my biological mother also died of illness early, and I feel a little closer to Miss Feng. I feel a little closer to Miss Feng." The young lady felt the pain with her, so she couldn't help but acted rudely."
Concubine Ming: "He is also a poor child. Come forward and let me take a look."
Zhou Yuexue stepped forward. Concubine Ming took off the jade bracelet from her wrist with a smile and handed it to Zhou Yuexue.
"This bracelet looks better when worn by a little girl. Now that you can stay at the Taifu's house, it is considered a good thing. This is a good thing. Wipe your tears quickly."
Zhou Yuexue said some sweet words, thanked her and took a seat.
After concubine Ming chatted with other official ladies, she left a few familiar ladies to talk.
The other women and ladies bowed and left the hall.
As soon as Lin Jinyan and the others found a quiet place to sit down, a playful and smart daughter came forward and said hello with a smile:
"Are you the daughter of Lin Shanchang?"
Lin Jinyan stood up and said with a smile: "Exactly. I wonder what I call you, Miss?"
"My name is Wang Huizhao. My father is Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Every time my mother mentions you, she praises you so much that it makes my ears grow calluses. Now that I see you, it is true."
"It turns out that she is the daughter of Minister Wang. This is my cousin Lin Wanrong, and this is my cousin Zhou Yuexue."
After several people sat down, Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"When I was young, the shopkeeper at my family's shop embezzled money. It was Mrs. Wang who informed me, so that the evil shopkeeper didn't cause even greater trouble. I didn't thank Mrs. Wang properly back then."
Wang Huizhao: "You asked the new shopkeeper to send you a lot of apology gifts, how can you thank me?"
Lin Jinyan: "They are all small gadgets. It's rare that you and Madam don't dislike them. Why haven't you seen Mrs. Wang?"
