Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Zhixuan timidly and nodded slightly.
Lin Zhixuan said: "Sister, don't think about it, take this step first." ”
The two of them said and embroidered the veil again, Lin Zhixuan's hand flew the needle and threaded, embroidered very fast, not only did not panic in her heart, but was unprecedentedly stable, she wanted to stop Lin Yaxuan and let her lose the opportunity to go to the spring banquet, but after all, it didn't work, Lin Yaxuan still wanted to go to the spring banquet as in her previous life.
Lin Zhixuan doesn't know whether the destiny of heaven is reversible, but if it is irreversible, what is the point of her reliving a lifetime? Even if it is really irreversible, Lin Zhixuan has to try her best, so as to live up to the word "alive".
Lin Yaxuan has been walking very diligently to Mrs. Wang these days, and she is smiling all day long, but Lin Zhixuan and Lin Ruoxuan seem to have no ears to what is going on outside the window, except for getting up early to accompany Mrs. Wang to dinner, and asking for peace in the evening, they are doing needlework in the room at other times.
A few maids were also idle, and Chun Tao ran more and more frequently to the willow fragrance.
When Lin Zhixuan's first handkerchief came to an end, she was tired and her hands were a little sweaty, so she asked Qiu Ju to take water to clean her hands, and Chun Tao came back from Chen's place.
Chun Tao smiled and said, "The girl asked me to inquire about it, and I have already asked about it." ”
Lin Zhixuan took the handkerchief offered by Dongmei and wiped her hands, while listening to her with interest.
Chun Tao said: "A few days ago, Grandma Qiao of the Lou Governor's Mansion went to visit Mrs. Qi, the Governor of Shaoxing Mansion, and jokingly mentioned the relationship between the Qiao family and the second girl Qi, but Mrs. Qi seemed to politely refuse. ”
Lin Zhixuan raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
Chen's father is now an official in Beijing, and his cousin married into the Qiao family, although the Qiao family is in Hangzhou, but the Qiao family is a patrolman in Zhejiang Province, and his official position is not low, the Qiao family is also one of the best people in the Hangzhou clan, and Uncle Qiao is the eldest son, and the Qi family has no reason to refuse such a good family business.
Lin Zhixuan asked, "I remember." You told me before that Mrs. Qi stayed in Hangzhou to sell her house, but where is that house? What kind of house is it? Have you found a buyer? How long does Mrs. Qi want to stay in Hangzhou? What kind of houses has she visited these days?"
Chun Tao was also dumbfounded when she asked, and only said: "It seems that the house has not found a buyer yet, but there are several houses that are negotiating." I think it hasn't come to fruition, otherwise, after selling the house, they would have left a long time ago. ”
Lin Zhixuan's brows were furrowed, and she said to Qiu Ju: "Let Mother Gu inquire about this matter clearly." "Gu Yue, Gu's mother's family, has flowers on the outskirts of the city. The flowers are raised very well, many of the flowers planted by each family in Hangzhou are sent by his family, and now the spring is blooming, it is the time for him to go to each family diligently.
When Qiu Ju heard this, she also nodded in response and hurriedly went.
The spring rain continued, every day was as warm as a day, and the house also changed into spring clothes, and the little maids put on new clothes and became festive, and Lin Jiazhi took Montessori back to their Zhuangzi. Mrs. Wang sent a lot of nourishing medicinal herbs and sent the two of them back.
Lin Zhixuan sent Lin Jiazhi and his wife back, and she was also embarrassed in her heart, hoping that they could come out of the pain of losing their son as soon as possible.
As soon as Lin Zhixuan picked up the needle and thread, Gu's mother hurriedly came in, saying that Lin Zhixuan asked for the inquiry.
"Since Mrs. Qi brought the second girl of the Qi family to Hangzhou, she was indeed discussing the sale of the house, but she had some dealings with the Jiang family in Yongjinmen in private. If it weren't for the fact that my family was familiar with the people of each family, I really didn't know that the Jiang family in Jinmen was actually related to the Qi family. The fourth master of the Jiang family is an official in Shaoxing, and he married the eldest girl of the Qi family, and the Jiang family is also in the Qi family's in-laws, and it seems that he is holding the Jiang family to help sell the house. ”
Lin Zhixuan's brows furrowed slightly: "Where is the house, is it an excellent place?"
Gu's mother said, "Exactly." The house is in Yuhangmen, and it is said that the house is a small garden, which is very exquisite. In order to ask the selling price of the house, my family also asked my eldest man to lie and ask for the master of the house, and paid 100,000 taels of silver. But I don't want the Qi family to still not sell, and I want to sell such an expensive house, so only people like the Jiang family can find a way. ”
Lin Zhixuan coldly hooked the corners of her mouth: "Mom's words are wrong, I think her family's house, even if it is useless to give one million taels, other people's houses may not be used for sale." ”
Gu's mother was puzzled, and Lin Zhixuan continued: "Let your head help me pay more attention to the mother and daughter of the Qi family, and see what they want to do." ”
Gu's mother was very surprised but didn't say much, so she just went.
Qiu Ju poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhixuan: "Does the girl think that Mrs. Qi rejected the marriage with the Lou family, and wants to marry her second daughter into the Jiang family?"
Lin Zhixuan twisted her eyebrows and said: "If that's the case, what is she doing with this house?" ”
Qiu Ju said: "Or is it to use an excuse to stay in Hangzhou and negotiate with the Jiang family?"
Lin Zhixuan said: "There is some truth in what you say, but this is not an unsightly thing, why does she want to be so sneaky and use this disguise?"
Lin Zhixuan asked Chun Tao again: "You inquired from Liu Xiang, looking at the tone of the second sister-in-law, what are the Qiao family going to do?"
Chun Tao said: "I don't know what to do, but I don't seem to have any intention of giving up, Mrs. Qiao is optimistic about the character of the second girl Qi." ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded lightly, lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Within a few days, Lin Zhixuan's house was finished, and Mrs. Wang added a few new pieces of furniture, which also looked new. Lin Zhixuan moved back to her residence, and Lin Ruoxuan also moved over with her, as if she decided to be Lin Zhixuan's maid, Mrs. Wang did not say forgiveness, and the family did not stop her, but gradually became accustomed to it.
Xia Lan's injuries have also healed for the most part, and she no longer delayed serving in front of Lin Zhixuan, watching Lin Zhixuan and Lin Ruoxuan embroidering without sleep or food, and respectfully serving tea, Lin Ruoxuan took it and smiled at her, but Lin Zhixuan was still indifferent to her.
Xia Lan didn't dare to speak, she just stood aside to accompany her, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju were not there, the two of them were always invisible these days, but Xia Lan found that Lin Zhixuan knew more and more about things in the house and even outside the house.
Lin Zhixuan cut the silk thread, Lin Ruoxuan also finished embroidering the last stitch, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, it was in vain that after so many days, the veils of the two were also embroidered at the same time.
Lin Zhixuan smiled and took the handkerchief embroidered by Lin Ruoxuan, removed the brace for her, and looked carefully: "It's really good." ”
Lin Ruoxuan also took Lin Zhixuan's embroidered handkerchief and looked at it: "Compared with my sister, it is heaven and earth." My sister embroidered quickly and well. ”
Lin Zhixuan said: "My sister is too humble. ”
Lin Ruoxuan looked at the handkerchief for a long time, but suddenly frowned and said: "Sister, these two handkerchiefs and those two handkerchiefs are embroidered in the same pattern, but how can they seem to be different?"
