Chapter 101: Longtan Tiger's Den or Opportunity?

Chapter 101

"Mother is a little tired, Ah Wan, can you go back to the house first?" Wei said to He Lin in a good voice.

He Linwan got up obediently: 'Okay, mother. ‘

When He Linwan came out of Wei's room, he vaguely heard Wei say to Mama Li in an unprecedentedly cold tone: "Let Hegui come to see me and ask if you have something to explain to him." ‘

He Linwan didn't stop at the door for long, turned around and left.

From that day on, He Linwan did not hear Wei mention this matter again, as if she had forgotten it. However, He Linwan knew that this matter was not over.

He Linwan obediently stayed in the house from that day on and didn't go out, but she couldn't go out, but Chunxiao could, she asked Chunxiao to go and explain to the shopkeeper of Xiuzhuang, if anyone looked for her, let her send someone to tell her immediately.

He Lin stayed at home at night, but the aunt and grandmother who had just come to Beijing would take her daughter out to meet people every day, and at first she was accompanied by the second lady, but then somehow the second lady went less, but Yu's mother and daughter accompanied her.

Chu Heshi went out to visit friends in the first few days when he came back, and wanted to re-enter the social circle of the capital. It's just that she has been married for many years after all, even if she made a few friends when she was a girl and can now communicate with each other, it is limited after all, and she can use very little, until Yu took Chu He's family to Jingguo Mansion to visit Mrs. You once, and met some female relatives in Beijing from Mrs. You, Chu He's next entertainment began to gradually become rich and diverse.

There are not a lot of pastimes for the ladies in Beijing on weekdays, and there are youth trips in spring. In summer, there are summer flowers, in autumn there are chrysanthemum and crab feasts, in winter there are snow festivals, and there are flower viewing parties, poetry parties, and banquets of various names that can be held all year round.

Chu He's family, who was eager to take his daughter back to the social circle of female dependents in the capital, never stayed idle anymore, so He Linwan had very few opportunities to see Chu He's and Chu Rong'er, while Yu's mother and daughter got closer and closer to them, and they went in and out together every day.

On this day, Wei went to Mingshan Hall to deal with family affairs. He Linwan taught Xiaohuzi to write in the courtyard. Xiaohuzi wrote a word and glanced at the plate of pine nut candy on the table, He Linwan pretended not to see it, and did his own embroidery work on the side.

Until Xiaohuzi glanced at He Linwan, and then couldn't help but secretly take a small piece of pine nut candy on the plate. Before he could put the candy in his mouth, he destroyed the corpse. He Lin didn't raise his head at night and said, "You don't steal food." When you're done writing, the whole plate is yours, and if you steal a piece, I'll have someone take another piece out of it. This way you eat one less piece. ‘

Xiaohuzi's hand froze, he stared at the pine nut candy in his hand for a long time, and finally put the candy back.

Mama Li looked at it a little unbearable on the side, and said to He Linwan with some dissatisfaction: "Big girl, if you don't let the young master eat candy when he is practicing calligraphy, then don't put the sugar in a place where he can see it, if you let him watch it like this, and he is not allowed to eat it, and it is a shame that the young master can endure it until now." ‘

He Linwan still lowered her head and threaded the needle, and the Spring Festival Gala couldn't help but feel upset for He Linwan: "Mama, the eldest girl didn't mean to tease the young master, the eldest girl is exercising the young master...... Target...... Yes, it is the ability to concentrate on one thing. The eldest girl said that if the young master could resist the temptation of what he longed for at a young age, he would be able to resist the temptation of other things when he grew up. Am I right, girl?' Chunxiao blinked at He Linwan.

He Linwan took advantage of the effort to change the embroidery thread, raised his head and smiled at Chunxiao: "Well, that's a good point. ‘

Mama Li asked suspiciously, 'Is this useful?'

He Linwan smiled and said, "I said that I heard what Mr. Qiu said last time, and I will know if I will wait until later." ‘

Mama Li listened to He Linwan's words about the famous Mr. Qiu, and was immediately convinced, she looked at Xiaohuzi again, and found that Xiaohuzi really no longer looked at the plate of pine nut candy, but frowned and seriously competed with the pen and paper.

Mama Li couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, our little master's posture is really a bit of a scholar." ‘

Thrush interjected on the side: "The master didn't say that he wanted the little master to lead troops to fight in the future and inherit his mantle. ‘

Mama Li pursed her lips: "What's so good about leading troops to fight, ...... who don't have a home all year round" Speaking of this, Mama Li remembered that He Linwan was still here, and she was afraid that she would be unhappy when she heard it, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Our little master is still young, whether we want to be a general or a champion in the future, and then we will talk about it when we grow up." ‘

At this time, the cuckoo came in from outside: 'Big girl, someone has just sent a letter to the porter, saying that it is for you. ‘

When He Linwan heard this, she immediately raised her head, and the needle in her hand accidentally poked her index finger, and she didn't pay attention: "Bring it to me!" He Linwan thought that it might be that there was news from the person looking for Brother Jie.

But when he took the letter from the cuckoo's hand, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw the familiar and unfamiliar handwriting on the letter. That's right, if the four people have news, it should be the people from Xiuzhuang who come to report it, not send a letter to her.

Mama Li saw He Linwan's eagerness before, and couldn't help asking, "Big girl, whose letter is it?" If it's a big girl, why does a friend of the big girl only have one letter and no name post? Mama Li felt that it was a little inconsistent with the rules of everyone's ladies, so she asked more.

He Linwan opened the letter in front of everyone, and after taking a look at it, he said casually: "It's Sister Zhao, it's Mrs. Yuan's goddaughter." ‘

Mama Li had heard that Mrs. Yuan had confessed to her relatives, and the last time He Linwan met the villain, it was also the Zhao family's Zhao Gongzi who came to help, so although Mama Li didn't recognize the Zhao family, she had a very good impression of them. I was relieved to hear He Linwan say that it was Miss Zhao's letter, the Zhao family was only from a businessman's background, no wonder he didn't hand over the name post, I was afraid that he would be despised by the concierge.

'Girl, next time, let Miss Zhao hand over the name post, this is more in line with the rules, and it will not be gossiped about, the slave will go to the concierge to explain it later, if it is the name of the Zhao family, let people send it to you immediately. ‘

He Linwan responded casually, but he thought in his heart that there was any famous post. This letter was not written by Zhao Qingqing, but by Li Yu.

He Lin finished reading the letter at a glance, and Li Yu said in his heart that he had already obtained the "Xuanyuan Testament", and he would wait for her in Taibai Building tomorrow morning.

He Linwan felt a little difficult in her heart, she promised her mother last time that she would not go out for a while, I don't know if she would agree to grind with her mother.

When Mama Li saw He Linwan frowning, she asked with concern, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

That is to say, Mama Li is the old man next to Wei's side, and she grew up watching He Linwan, and no one in this courtyard dares to ask about He Linwan except her.

He Linwan also knew that Mama Li would ask more out of concern, so she didn't care: "It's nothing." There is a new female storyteller in Sister Zhao's teahouse. Ask me if I've had time to listen lately. ‘

Mama Li thought for a while, leaned over and whispered, "Girl, why don't you go back to Miss Zhao first, and then go back after a while?" But the last time you met the gangster, she was very concerned. Two nights were woken up by nightmares. When I woke up, I called the names of you and the young master, and I had to get out of bed to see you and the young master, and the slave persuaded her to stop her. ‘

He Linwan was stunned when he heard this. Did her mother have nightmares? She never heard her talk about it. And her mother gave her the impression that she was a person who was soft on the outside, but stronger on the inside, but she didn't expect that she would panic because of a nightmare.

He Linwan sighed and nodded: "I know, Mama. ‘

Mama Li was also very happy to see He Linwan listening to persuasion like this.

Xiaohuzi climbed off the stool and walked in front of He Linwan, and he didn't speak, just looked at her with a pair of round eyes.

He Linwan immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Xiaohuzi finished writing?"

Xiaohuzi nodded.

He Linwan walked to the table to check, and Xiaohuzi followed her, looking at her expression without blinking. He Linwan glanced at Xiaohuzi's words a few times, and deliberately exaggerated a look of surprise: "Ah! Is this really written by Xiaohuzi?"

Xiaohuzi's eyes were bright, and he subconsciously straightened his little chest.

He Linwan bent down and touched Xiaohuzi's head: "Xiaohuzi is really powerful, his progress is really fast, and it is much better than what he wrote yesterday." Of course, yesterday's writing was good, but today's handwriting is much better than yesterday's. ‘

He Lin didn't praise him indiscriminately when he arrived late, Xiaohuzi wrote very seriously, although it could only be regarded as neat, but he was able to show a sharp spirit from the words at a young age, which was extremely rare.

Xiaohuzi pursed his lips, He Linwan, who was already familiar with him, saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, knowing that Xiaohuzi was happy, seeing him look at the plate of pine nut candy again, He Linwan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Well, so that plate of pine nut candy belongs to you!"

When Xiaohuzi heard this, he immediately went to take the plate in his hand, and then carefully received the pine nut candy in the plate one by one into the big purse he specially used to hold snacks.

He Linwan watched his actions from the side, but also a little gloomy, Brother Jie is not much older than Xiaohuzi, and when he was at home, he was also as childish as Xiaohuzi, I don't know what happened to him now, whether he was wronged.

Just as He Linwan was thinking about Brother Jie'er, a mother-in-law hurriedly ran in, and without even breathing, she hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, big girl, go to the flower hall!"

Mama Li frowned and said, "What is it that makes our eldest girl go to the flower hall, can't you tell me?" Mama Li recognized that this mother-in-law was not from their West Garden, and she seemed to be from the old lady's yard before, so she was a little wary of her.

But the woman said: "Ouch, when is it, Mama Li, don't be picky, it's someone from the palace, the second lady asked the slave to come over and tell the eldest girl to hurry over!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and Mama Li was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "There are people in the palace? ‘

He Linwan looked at Mama Li's anxious look, and said with relief: "Mama, don't worry, it should be for the last time my mother donated grain and grass, not a bad thing." I'll wear this one, it's also a garment for visitors. ‘

When He Lin arrived at the flower hall in the evening, the old lady, the second lady, and the Wei family had already arrived, and even the Chu He family and the Yu family, who had not seen the end of the dragon these days, were actually there.

Among these people, there was a strange woman in her thirties dressed as a palace man, who was smiling and talking to Wei.

When He Linwan walked in, the palace man looked up and asked Wei, "This is the eldest girl in the house, right?" ‘

Chu He, who was sitting on the side, looked at He Linwan when he heard this, and then looked at his daughter standing beside him, smiled disappreciatively, but said in his mouth: "They all say that the girl in our family is good-looking, let's just say that my daughter, when she was at home, she was also famous in the entire state capital." ‘

The people present were silent when they heard this, and the second lady coughed lightly and said to He Linwan: "Ah Wan, come over and see Aunt Yin beside Concubine Xian." ‘

He Lin recognized who this person was when he came in late, but he still waited until the second lady mentioned it before he stepped forward to salute. Although Aunt Yin is a servant, she is a first-class palace maid in the palace of the virtuous concubine, and a female dependent like He Linwan, who has no orders, has to salute when she sees her.

Aunt Yin smiled kindly: "Today, I came to invite the third wife and Miss He to enter the palace tomorrow on the order of Niangniang. Last time, Mrs. He's righteous act made many people in Beijing praise and rushed to follow suit, and the virtuous concubine Niangniang had a few times in front of the queen's mother, and the queen's mother made a decree today to summon you to the palace to see you. ‘

When everyone present heard this, they all looked at Wei's He Linwan, and they all looked at them with envy and jealousy. You must know that it is a very long-faced thing to be summoned by the queen's mother, and generally this kind of female dependents are either from prominent families, or extremely talented or virtuous.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the harem will also summon the women who have an order in the capital, but most of them just kowtow outside the palace, and generally they can't even see the queen's face. This time, the queen and Concubine Xian specially ordered to summon Wei and He Linwan's mother and daughter, how could people not be envious and jealous.

However, He Linwan was not very excited, there were many opportunities to enter the palace when she was still Yang Weizhen, and the queen loved her very much, but what was the use? Once the family was overturned, the fate of the celebrity was not as good as that of ordinary women.

However, He Linwan thought of the pendant that appeared in the Zhao family's pawnshop, and the pendant was taken out by the people in the Xianfei Palace, but now Brother Jie has not found it, and the cousin is missing, I don't know if I can get some clues from the Xianfei Palace. She had thought of finding a way to find out some news from the palace, but she never had the opportunity.

Thinking like this, He Lin was not excluded from entering the palace when he arrived late.

Over there, Yu couldn't help but ask: 'Niangniang only summoned my third sister-in-law?'

There is only a blank code word at night.,So the update time will be later these days.,Please forgive ^_^ me.
