Chapter 48: Dream Back (1)
The moon was shining, the stars were falling, the spring wind still carried the cold air through the tiny cracks into the panes, the gauze tent shook gently, and the charcoal fire in the smoker was extinguished.
Lin Zhixuan sniffed the distant cold fragrance of plum blossoms offered in the two blue and white entwined lotus pattern bottles in her boudoir, and slowly fell asleep.
In front of the eyes seems to be a warm spring flower, the courtyard rockery, flowers, green water, birds, as well as the high pavilion oblique corridor, white wall carved windows, everywhere exquisite, but the most beautiful is the ring fat swallow thin, hired curly, the wives of the famous rich clans in the south of the Yangtze River almost all brought their daughters.
The host is busy greeting the guests, and most of the guests know each other, gossiping here and drinking tea there, or introducing each other's daughters to each other, so lively.
The horse's hooves were obtained, the carriages on the alley outside the gate of the Liang Mansion lined up, two exquisite carriages came slowly, stopped at the gate of the Liang Mansion, and the mother-in-law who followed the car stepped forward to lift the curtain, it was Lin Zhixuan and her mother Mrs. Wang, and the latter car was Lin Ruoxuan and her mother Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liang greeted her with a smile, greeted her warmly, greeted Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu, held her hand and said with a smile to go in, but Mrs. Wang said, no need to send it again, they went to visit the old lady by themselves, and asked Mrs. Liang to greet the other guests at the second gate. Mrs. Liang responded with a smile and let her eldest daughter-in-law, Lu Shi, lead her inside.
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Yaxuan walked together very intimately, looking at the exquisite carved beams and paintings everywhere in the Liang family, they were very happy.
At one time, I met Mrs. Liang, everyone sat down in Tingyin Pavilion, and the good show on the stage started, Lin Zhixuan looked at it like this, and there were more than 30 ladies and grandmothers from each family with their own girls and young ladies who were suitable for marriage, all of them handsome and exquisite.
The old lady of the Liang family is old, she likes such young girls, she is very happy to see them, Lin Yaxuan is the most scheming, and several young ladies who don't know which family gathered in front of the old lady of the Liang family to talk to the old lady.
Lin Zhixuan doesn't understand this, and she doesn't like people to be noisy, and she doesn't like to watch dramas, she just thinks that the scenery of this courtyard is very good, and she wants to go out for a walk, Miss Wei Luyan and Lin Zhixuan of the Fuguo Mansion have grown up together since childhood, and they are a jumpy character, and they can't sit down, she also saw the impatience in Lin Zhixuan's eyes, but she is not as obedient as Lin Zhixuan, and she is familiar with the old lady of the Liang family, so she said to the old lady that she wants to go out to enjoy the scenery, the old lady has always liked her, so she also responded, and asked everyone, the daughters of these families, there are also those who don't like their mother's draft-like arrangement, and there are also arrogant personalities who look down on the Liang family, and there are also people who don't understand so much, so they went out in twos and threes to row boats and fish to enjoy the scenery and talk. Lin Yaxuan was the only one left, laughing with Mrs. Liang.
Wei Luyan is quite arrogant, and he doesn't like those girls and young ladies who come to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and he doesn't stay with them, but he hasn't seen Lin Zhixuan for a long time, so he pulled her to send the maid, and the two of them went to talk to each other alone.
Lin Zhixuan is the first time to come to the Liang family, looking at the rockery flowers and trees here are picturesque, Wei Luyan is often in the Liang Mansion, has already been tired of seeing the scenery here, only pulled Lin Zhixuan to a secluded rockery, where the trees are lush, move to change the scenery, gather soil into a mountain, there is a pavilion standing on it, but Lin Zhixuan and Wei Luyan are tired, really have no strength to climb up, besides, there is a nearby outer courtyard, today the Liang family also has a foreign man to feast in the outer courtyard, if you go to this rockery pavilion, it will inevitably be seen by the people in the outer courtyard, so the two of them sit and talk on the stone platform under the rockeryγ
Lin Zhixuan's clothes were newly made for her by Mrs. Wang, they were very exquisite, she couldn't bear to sit dirty, but Wei Luyan smiled and said: "You are really delicate, wouldn't it be nice to spread a handkerchief on a stone like me." β
Lin Zhixuan also smiled when she heard this, and then did so, and was laying down the handkerchief, when she heard Wei Luyan exclaim and snatched the handkerchief: "Ah, what a delicate Yutang rich, the embroidery of this handkerchief is really exquisite, this material is tribute satin? β
Lin Zhixuan snatched it over, and sat down again: "I haven't seen anything from the palace, and you, the lady of the Imperial Princess's Mansion, have seen less?"
Wei Luyan smiled and watched Lin Zhixuan put such a precious thing on her butt before saying: "I'm afraid that my aunt will go back and scold me in a while, it seems that your family is also pinning their hopes on you, hoping that you can win the old lady's favor today and marry into the Liang family." Look at the clothes, the head, the bracelets, the shoes, oh yo, my aunt really put a lot of thought into it......"
Lin Zhixuan was annoyed: "If you say it again, I won't play with you." β
Wei Luyan hurriedly smiled and pulled her: "Okay, okay, good sister, I won't laugh at you, it's just that I can still say a few words in front of the old lady, if you want to marry in, I can also help you." β
Lin Zhixuan was forced by her, "You still say, I don't want to get married!" blurted out.
Wei Luyan looked at her narrowly and said, "Oh? Why is this? You see that those girls and young ladies outside are about to break their heads, but you don't want to marry?"
Lin Zhixuan softened her expression, sat down slowly with a little loneliness, and said, "It's because there are too many robbers that I don't want to marry." β
Wei Luyan saw that she looked cold, so he stopped teasing her, and only asked: "There are too many people who rob her, doesn't it mean that the son of the Liang family is good, why don't you like it?"
Lin Zhixuan said: "It's not because the Liang family's son is good or not, I just don't like to fight for something, you see the way they are talking around the old lady of the Liang family, I won't do that, I can't learn, I don't want to learn." If they like it, let them snatch it, I don't have the ability to do it, and I don't have the mental strength to do it, so instead of bothering about that kind of thing, it's better to talk to you here and be happy. β
Wei Luyan nodded slowly and seriously: "You have a weak temperament, the old lady is afraid that she likes it very much." β
Lin Zhixuan said: "You also said that you are the most close to the water, this Liang family is like your own home, you like it, you go and grab it!"
Wei Luyan said with a smile: "That's not, I'm naturally close to the water, but the old lady thinks I'm too strong and not suitable to be the second daughter-in-law, and my mother also said that I am a material to be the head of the house." β
Lin Zhixuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled: "I'm really ashamed." β
Wei Luyan smiled and said: "It's just the two of us here, what are you ashamed of, what about you, what kind of family do you want to marry in the future?"
Lin Zhixuan glared at her, and then wrinkled her brows and said, "How old are you, two years younger than me, and you think about this all day long." β
Wei Luyan didn't allow it, pulled her arm and said coquettishly: "Oh, don't talk to me officially, and tell me in vain that you haven't thought about it." β
