Chapter Seventy-Two: The Lin Clan
Lin Huixin looked at the second picture carefully, nodded appreciatively, and said: "I like your design about dragonflies very much, the second picture is also based on dragonflies, but the effect is completely different, suitable for me to wear when performing piano skills, I like both sets very much, I hope to make the effect of the same as I am so satisfied." I don't know when I will see the finished product? After all, it is not far from the Qixi Festival, and in fact, my clothes and jewelry have already been prepared. ”
Tang Ying smiled slightly, and replied confidently: "Please rest assured Miss Lin San, what I designed is what our master can make, Liying Xiangge is a century-old shop, and the master's craftsmanship is obvious to all." After speaking, he turned to Lin Huiling and asked, "Is Miss Lin Qi satisfied with Ying'er's design, do you want to do it together?"
Lin Huiling was carefully looking at the two sets of pink clothes she had designed for herself, her face full of joy. Hearing Tang Ying's question, he nodded his head hurriedly and replied: "Of course I like hibiscus flowers the most, you must see that the jewelry on my body is the pattern of hibiscus flowers, so guess it, however, your design is very novel, I have never seen it, I like both sets very much." ”
Tang Ying nodded slightly, and promised the two: "Four sets of clothes and accessories can be delivered to your mansion within seven days." ”
"Yes! I believe you will live up to our expectations. Lin Huixin smiled and nodded.
"Liying Xiangge will definitely live up to the expectations of the two young ladies!" After speaking, Tang Ying was slightly blessed, then packed up the drawing paper and tool kit, and turned around to prepare.
After lunch, Wu and Li took Lin Huixin and Lin Huiling to say goodbye and leave. Old Madam Lin asked everyone to step back and left Lin Wan alone in the Cixin Hall to speak.
"Wan'er, I heard that you had a good conversation with the two young ladies from the Lin family's big house in Bihu Pavilion today, right?" Old Madam Lin's face was a little displeased, and her voice was low.
Lin Wan smiled slightly and replied, "Grandmother, Wan'er also knows that the patriarch did owe you and your father a little before, and the two families have not been in contact for many years. Lin Wan saw that Mrs. Lin's face was darker, and she didn't care, and continued: "However, for so many years, we have not separated from the Lin family to set up a separate door, our branch is still on the family tree, and it will eventually be enshrined in the Lin ancestral hall. After all, the Lin family is a famous family, and many clansmen are officials in the court, and some clansmen are also operating in various places. Although my father has not received the help of the Lin clan to this day, if it has always been a peaceful and prosperous era, we may not need the help of the Lin family in the future, but now that all countries have been recuperating for many years, they have long been eyeing the Great Feudal State, and the Great Feudal Country is now strong outside and internal dry, and the wind and rain are shaking. ”
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Wan in amazement, very shocked.
Lin Wan knew that her words would arouse the suspicion of Old Madam Lin, but she didn't care, and continued: "Since the patriarch took the initiative to come to the door this time to show goodwill, why don't we take this opportunity to make friends with the clansmen? If my father is willing, with his current status, it is not impossible to take over the position of patriarch after stepping down from his official position in the future. After all, a companion is like a tiger, and my father will retire in the future......"
"Bold!" Old Madam Lin shouted, stood up, and her chest rose and fell violently in anger.
Lin Wan smiled slightly, stood up, supported Mrs. Lin with one hand, slowly helped her stroke her chest with the other, followed her breath, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, don't be angry." It was Wan'er who couldn't speak, which made her grandmother angry. Wan'er wishes her father to become an official and become a knight and prosper forever!"
Old Madam Lin glanced at Lin Wan, sat down slowly, slowly adjusted her breathing, and said, "What Wan'er said today, don't say it to anyone again, some words are going to kill your head, and maybe it will affect the whole door." Moreover, the Lin family is a big family, and the position of the patriarch is not so easy to fight, how many people are staring at that position, when your grandfather was there, he also fought for that position, otherwise there would be no dislike between him and the patriarch. ”
Lin Wan nodded, changed the topic and said: "Grandmother, Wan'er thinks that Miss Lin San, who came today, has a good character and talent, and is expected to shine at the Qixi banquet, and Wan'er wants to help her." It's better to be your own sisters than to be robbed of the limelight by others, what do you say?"
Old Madam Lin pondered for a moment, nodded, and said with a long sigh: "Wan'er is now grown up, and grandmother believes that you have your own measure, but you have to remember that you have to think twice before acting." ”
Lin Wan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, Wan'er understands, follow her grandmother's teachings!"
Old Madam Lin patted Lin Wan's hand and said, "Wan'er is also tired, go back and rest, you don't have to come over for dinner." Your mother is too far away, and when you get back, it's almost time to apply, and it's all on the road. Qixi Festival is approaching, and you should also hurry up and prepare well, especially the subsequent Mid-Autumn Festival. If you don't come over to eat in the future, let Chen's mother come and talk back, understand?"
"Yes, thank you grandmother for your kindness!" Lin Wan was overjoyed and bowed to leave.
Back in the Autumn Garden, Lin Wan was indeed a little tired, took off the hairpin ring, changed clothes, and was about to take a nap.
"Miss, my subordinates have something to report. "It's the voice of the Hidden Soul.
Lin Wan turned around and sat at the table, and said softly, "Hidden Soul, come in." ”
The hidden soul flashed into the room, habitually stood in the dark, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Commander Zhao learned that Madame needs the Seven Star Grass of the Dongli Kingdom to detoxify, and has already consulted the old lady, recruited twenty secret guards, and is planning to go to the East Li Kingdom to find the Seven Star Grass." ”
Lin Wan frowned and asked, "When will you leave?"
"Tonight. The Hidden Soul replied.
Lin Wan thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Brother Jin now?"
"The sixth prince of Dongli should be in the post house now. "Hidden Soul said.
"Help me pass a letter to Uncle Qingpeng, and ask him to wait for me at Tianxianglou tonight, and discuss important matters. Lin Wan thought for a while, and then continued to instruct: "Send a message to Brother Jin and meet you at the Liying Xiang Pavilion." Let Gale and Qingtong prepare again, and go out with me immediately. ”
"Yes, miss, my subordinates will do it. Before he could finish speaking, the Hidden Soul had disappeared into the room.
"Green willows. Lin Wan called softly, and Lu Liu entered the room in response. With the help of Green Willow, Lin Wan quickly changed into men's clothes.
When Lin Wan's carriage stopped at the door of the Liying Xiang Pavilion, Shopkeeper Tang was already waiting at the door. Seeing Lin Wan get out of the carriage, the shopkeeper Tang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Miss, the person you made an appointment with has already come, in the back wing." ”
"Hmm. Lin Wan nodded and went directly to the back room.
