The second lady Li Shi looked very young, slender and had very white skin, gently pulled Lin Wan's hand, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, the second aunt doesn't have anything good, this jade pendant was opened by Master Lingyin, and it will be given to you to keep you safe." ”

Lin Wan curtsied and thanked Li Shi.

After Lin Wan finished greeting with the elders, Mrs. Lin raised her hand, stretched out her hand to Lin Wan, and said, "Wan'er, come to grandmother." ”

Lin Wan walked to Mrs. Lin's side, put her hand in Mrs. Lin's hand, and sat on the brocade stool next to the main seat, bowing her head and lowering her eyes, very obedient.

Mrs. Lin patted Lin Wan's hand and said lovingly: "Wan'er, your two sisters have also received invitations for the Qixi Festival, so you can sit together and take care of them when the time comes." ”

"Great, grandmother, Wan'er has a companion now. After speaking, Lin Wan smiled and looked at Lin Huixin and Lin Huiling friendly, and the other party also nodded and smiled back.

The ancestral house of the Lin family is in Qizhou, and the current patriarch is Lin Yaozu of Dafang, that is, Lin Zhihuai's uncle. Lin Yaozu's eldest son Lin Zhiying and second son Lin Zhijie are also officials in the capital now, but because the Lin clan did not take care of the orphans and widows in the third room after the death of the third old lady, even if Lin Zhihuai is now the prime minister, the Lin clan has not come to the door to express their closeness.

But this time, he boarded the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion for the Qixi banquet, and the big house chose these two beautiful daughters to come, which is estimated to be a big picture.

Lin Wan didn't care, because she didn't take the Qixi banquet to heart, her purpose was just to make the clothes of the Liying Xiangge shine at the Qixi banquet. With these two beauties helping to be a model, she can't ask for it.

Lin Wan said with a smile: "Grandmother, I'll take the two sisters out for a walk, so that we can get to know each other." ”

Wu and Li didn't expect Lin Wan to be so easy to talk to, so they hurriedly responded happily and explained that their two daughters were close to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan led Lin Huixin and Lin Huiling all the way to Bihu Pavilion. Green willow and Qingtong followed by Lin Wan, and Lin Huixin was supported by two little girls and followed behind, smiling and walking cautiously. Lin Huiling walked at the end with her head down, and the two maids around her followed silently, and the three masters and servants seemed to be preoccupied.

Lin Wan didn't take them to the lake to enjoy the fish, and walked directly into the Bihu Pavilion. Luliu had already arranged for Yahuan to prepare tea in advance, and when the three of them walked into the Bihu Pavilion, the three bowls of tea on the stone table had already been placed.

"Two sisters, please be seated. Lin Wan first invited Lin Huixin and Lin Huiling to sit down, and then sat on the remaining vacant seats, and then said: "I don't know what tea the two sisters like to drink, so I prepared flower tea according to my own preferences, if the two sisters don't like it, I can let the green willow brew it again." ”

Lin Huixin was dignified and generous, mature and beautiful, smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "No need, Sister Wan'er has a heart." "The voice is gentle, the speed of speech is moderate, cordial and polite, and the typical demeanor of a lady.

Lin Huiling also nodded in agreement.

Lin Wan was no longer polite, and asked with a smile: "Sister Huixin, Sister Huiling, do you know that the Qixi Festival is to select suitable people to make peace with Linguo?"

Lin Hui's face did not change, smiled slightly, and nodded.

Lin Huiling frowned her delicate willow eyebrows, looked at Lin Huixin, and then looked at Lin Wan, did not nod, did not shake her head, her face was even more sad, she was stirring the handkerchief in her hand, and she wanted to stop talking.

Lin Wan then asked, "Then, are the two sisters willing?" After speaking, he paid attention to Lin Huixin's expression.

Lin Huixin lowered her eyes, and a trace of bitterness crossed her eyes. And Lin Huiling looked at Lin Huixin anxiously, her eyes flashing with crystal.

Lin Wan had a headache, she didn't like to beat around the bush and waste time, seeing that neither of them spoke, she simply picked up the tea bowl and drank it slowly.

Lin Huixin saw that Lin Wan didn't seem to plan to take care of this matter anymore, for fear that what she wanted today would not be able to achieve her goal, and seeing that there were only three of them in the pavilion, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and she said frankly: "Sister Wan'er, a woman from a family like ours, where can she tolerate her family affairs if she is willing or not? I have known our family affairs since I was a child, and it is entirely for the interests of the family, and it depends on luck whether we marry well or not." Although I never thought of marrying in a foreign country, it doesn't really make a difference, I'm fifteen years old this year, and I haven't been engaged yet, and my father is waiting for this opportunity. ”

Lin Wan admired Lin Huixin's honesty and calmness, nodded slightly, and said: "It is impossible for the Lin family to produce two princesses who are close to each other, the patriarch asked you to come, of course, because he knows that I will not go to kiss, so you two, who am I going to help?"

Lin Huixin turned to look at Lin Huiling, took her hand, nodded to her, and encouraged her to express her wishes.

Lin Huiling lowered her head, her little face was slightly red, and she said in a voice that was almost inaudible: "I already have a sweetheart, and I don't want to marry someone else." ”

Lin Wanxin said that this was indeed the case, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I understand." Lin Wan thought for a while and asked, "Does Sister Huixin have any special skills?"

Lin Huiling said what was on her mind, she became relaxed and lively, and when she heard Lin Wan ask about Lin Huixin's expertise, she hurriedly replied: "The third sister is proficient in poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially dance skills, and it is too much to say that she is the first in the capital." The eldest aunt has invited many masters to teach a few sisters, and the third sister is the most talented and diligent. The eldest aunt originally wanted the third sister to participate in the prince's selection of concubines, but the grandfather said that it was unlikely that she would become the crown princess, and if she was just a concubine, it would be better to be crowned a princess, and her status would be more valuable. After Lin Huiling finished speaking, she felt as if she had said something she shouldn't have said, and she was secretly annoyed, and saw that Lin Huixin didn't mean to blame her, so she put her mind at ease.

Lin Huixin watched Lin Wan's reaction with a smile on her face, and let Lin Huiling say the family's plan without any intention of hindering it.

Lin Wan likes these two Lin clan sisters a little in her heart, one is smart and calm, the other is simple and cute, which makes her feel easier to get close to than her own half-sisters.

Lin Wan smiled slightly, took Lin Huixin's hand and said, "Sister Huixin, the patriarch is right, the crown prince is indeed not a good choice. If you decide to fight for the identity of the princess, I am willing to help you. ”

Lin Huixin had some doubts in her heart, she didn't know why Lin Wan said that the prince was not a good choice, could it be that as her grandfather said, Lin Wan was going to become the crown princess, so she didn't want me to marry into the prince's mansion?

Lin Wan saw Lin Huixin's doubts, but she just shook her head gently, no matter whether Lin Huixin understood it or not, she didn't want to explain more.

Of course, Lin Huixin didn't know why, but she secretly felt that it might not be like that, but she wouldn't ask anything more.

Green Willow walked in and said, "Miss, Miss Tang is here." ”

Lin Wan turned his head to look and saw Tang Ying wearing a light green dress with narrow sleeves, holding a large roll of drawing paper, and a light green cloth bag with a novel style hanging on her wrist, standing quietly outside the Bihu Pavilion like a jade lotus.
