013 The wealthy Lin family
When he re-entered the Lin Mansion, Bai Xinger gave birth to a sense of trance that had once been in the sea.
She didn't know why she felt this way, maybe it was because she used to be beautiful when she came here, but now she has to go through layers of security checks, or maybe it was because she met Lin Yunchu here for the first time, and since then she has fallen into a one-man pantomime, telling a silent confession, or more likely, just because everything has changed and there is no going back......
"Excuse me, is it Miss Bai?"
A girl in a pale green down jacket with neat short hair stood at the door and said, interrupting Bai Xing'er's thoughts.
She saw that this girl was only sixteen or seventeen, she looked ordinary, but her eyes were bright, and she was a clever and agile person at first glance, and it was estimated that she was a servant sent by Madame Lin to greet her.
"Hello, I'm Bai Xing'er. She said, bowing her head very politely.
The girl smiled back and immediately made a "please" gesture, and her well-trained appearance made people have to admire the strictness of the Lin family's family rules.
"Miss Bai, Madame ordered me to guide you, please come with me. ”
Bai Xing'er nodded and followed behind her.
……
Lin Mansion, also known as Yihai Garden, is a provincial garden of a prince in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.
The layout of the garden is modeled after the structure of the southern garden, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and cornices and corners...... It's all in one. However, the most praised thing is that it is a landscape built according to the "moon and clouds" in the forty views of the Old Summer Palace.
It's a pity that such a royal spectacle was sold to a German without being appreciated by the prince.
Later, an industrialist in China spent a lot of money to take back the garden, and when he was dying, he auctioned it off, and donated all the proceeds to the State Cultural Heritage Office.
And this royal private mansion, which was worth 200 million yuan more than ten years ago, was bought by Lin Shangrong, the master of the Lin family.
The strength and financial resources of his family are by no means comparable to ordinary rich people.
At this moment, Bai Xinger is in the garden, and there are lotus-shaped red lanterns on both sides of the stone road, which looks delicate and small. But she had no intention of appreciating the beauty around her, she just kept her duty and did not do anything against etiquette.
After walking for nearly fifteen minutes, Bai Xinger suddenly felt a trace of warmth in the air, as warm and humid as a hot spring.
Walking to the moon gate, the servant stood sideways and said, "Miss Bai, according to the rules, I can't enter the garden with you, there are other servants inside who will serve you." Have a great night. ”
"Thank you. ”
After Bai Xinger finished speaking, he looked up at the three words "Langhuayuan", feeling nervous and resistant.
She has long been not a person in this world, and if she appears on such an occasion again, no matter how cultivated the main family is, she will inevitably have a little rejection and contempt for herself in her heart.
However, she has been favored by Mrs. Lin, so naturally she can't back down for the sake of face.
……
From the time Bai Xinger appeared at the Moon Gate, Yao Rui, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and Lin Xinmei, the second daughter of the Lin family, looked at each other and chuckled.
"Sister-in-law, look. Lin Xinmei smiled brightly, but his eyes were not clear.
And Yao Rui is a famous lady, her speech and demeanor are polite and thoughtful, she first smiled faintly, and then retracted her gaze, focused on the tea in her hand, and said slowly: "See, the daughter of the Bai family." ”
Lin Xinmei glanced at Yao Rui slightly, the charm in her eyes was difficult to explain, but she converged quickly, and said, "It's really stunning." I dare to say that there are few celebrities in the circle who can compare to her. ”
Yao Rui put the teacup on the stone table, and said without being salty or light: "That's true." ”
Lin Xinmei seemed to be taken aback.
She really hates Yao Rui's pretending to be tall, and she obviously hates beautiful young women coming to her house as guests, but she pretends to be decent and generous.
"Sister-in-law, why did you say that Mom invited her here?" Lin Xinmei didn't want to stop there, and continued to ask, "The Bai family has collapsed, but it has no effect on us." ”
Yao Rui didn't speak, but she could vaguely guess one or two in her heart.
"But, I think I'm here when I come, just to see the scene, right?" Lin Xinmei suddenly smiled and looked in the direction where Bai Xinger was.
It turned out that Yao Rui's son, that is, the eldest son and grandson of the Lin family, had passed over.
"You're here. Lin Haoxi and Bai Xinger said hello, "Long time no see." ”
Dressed in a blue and white baseball jersey, a pair of jeans, and a pair of headphones around his neck, he looked like a street boy.
Bai Xinger only felt that the first person he met when he came here was Lin Haoxi, and it was a relaxed opening, so he smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, you've grown so tall." ”
Lin Haoxi laughed, interjected and said, "Let's be the same age, right? Why do you talk like an old man." ”
Bai Xinger was ridiculed, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and generously admitted: "I really don't know what to say, so I said the most intuitive thing." ”
"Okay, you're pretty good. Lin Haoxi didn't tease him anymore, and reached out to beckon a servant over, "Take off your coat quickly." Don't you feel hot?"
Bai Xing'er nodded, and said in her heart that she had already felt hot, but she didn't understand why it was so warm outside in the big winter?
Lin Haoxi saw her question, so he explained: "My dad built a hot spring in the garden in order to raise those peach blossoms. And grandma wants to learn the Western style this year and engage in garden self-help, of course, she has to choose a warm place. ”
Bai Xinger was surprised, and there was no surprise.
The world of wealthy families is full of unimaginable luxury.
She folded her coat and handed it to the servant, and asked, "Where is the elder?" Could you please take me to see him?"
Lin Haoxi hated these red tape at home, so he directly rejected Bai Xinger, saying: "My father and second brother-in-law went to Paris and won't come back today." Grandpa and grandma were still resting in their rooms, accompanied by the third uncle. There are my mother and second aunt over there, if you are willing to go, you can go by yourself, if you are not happy, just wait for my fourth uncle to come over and let him take you. ”
After saying this, he hurried away.
Bai Xinger wanted to ask Master Lin and Mrs. Lin where they were resting, but saw him running away in a hurry, and then saw Yao Rui and Lin Xinmei coming towards him.
"Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, good evening. Bai Xinger put his feet together, bent down slightly, and said respectfully.
"Xing'er, when you grow up, you're really slim. Yao Rui stepped forward and said, her tone was very gentle, "Why are you so outside? Just call me aunt and second aunt Xinmei." ”
Bai Xinger glanced at the arrogance in Lin Xinmei's eyes, and knew that she must disdain to call her so affectionately, so he said, "Mrs. Lin, you are too polite. Let Xinger observe these etiquette. ”
When Yao Rui heard this, she didn't stubbornly ask her to change her words, and Lin Xinmei smiled casually, as if she was very useful for this answer.
Bai Xing'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this difficult night had just begun.
