Chapter 4: Sisters
Lin Baiyu opened her eyes, and the tent that rained over the azure sky, unlike the tent made by Lin Baishu with soft smoke, it looked like smoke from a distance, and the tent in her room was made of ordinary linen yarn, which looked very rough, not even as good as the mosquito net she hung in modern times. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing movement in the room, Liu Yue walked in with toiletries, first waited for Lin Baiyu to get dressed and then served her to finish grooming, Lin Baiyu sat in front of the dresser, Liu Yue quickly helped her comb her hair and pull a bun. Liu Yue took one of her golden hairpins and stuck it on Lin Baiyu's head, but was stopped by Lin Baiyu.
"Don't plug it, it's weird, just put a silk flower on it. Lin Baiyu said.
"But it's too plain......"
"I just feel comfortable. β
ββ¦β¦ Be. "Having followed Lin Baiyu since she was a child, Liu Yue understands Lin Baiyu's character, three years ago, her own miss didn't know what she had encountered, and her personality suddenly changed, and now she says the same, although she still looks soft and weak, but she just doesn't dare to disobey the current lady.
The little maid walked in happily with a food box, and happily said to the two: "Second Miss, Steward Zhao brought a few people to help us build a stove in our yard, and we will have hot food in our yard in the future." β
Liu Yue stretched out her finger and poked her forehead playing chess: "You girl just wants to eat." β
Yi Qi covered his forehead and puffed out his face and said, "I'm not thinking about eating it myself, I'm happy for the second lady." Always eat cold food, which is not good for the stomach of the second lady. β
"You little girl also knows that eating cold food is bad for your stomach. There is progress!" Liu Yue said with a smile.
Yi Qi snorted arrogantly: "Of course, I will take over my sister's class in the future, and when you get married, I will serve Miss, how can I not make progress?"
"Stinky girl, what are you talking about? See if I don't tear your mouth. Liu Yue's face flushed, and she rushed over to pull her mouth. Yiqi hurriedly dodged, and the two made a fuss in the room.
Lin Baiyu watched them play with a smile, although the game of chess was not in the circle defined by Lin Baiyu, but it had been inspected by Lin Baiyu for a whole year, Lin Baiyu was still satisfied with her, and she was close to the dividing line.
Lin Baiyu sat down at the table in the aisle, Liu Yue and Yiqi stopped playing after seeing it, and immediately came over and opened the food box to put it on the plate. The meal was still cold, the cold meat buns tasted unpalatable, Lin Baiyu only ate a silver silk roll and drank a bowl of porridge before putting down the chopsticks. Liu Yue quickly ate breakfast and accompanied Lin Baiyu out of the yard.
The Hou Mansion invited female gentlemen, professors and young ladies to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, "Four Books of Women" and needlework and so on. The professor's location is located in Tubi Villa, which is far away from Lin Baiyu's courtyard. She also named her yard Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the courtyard of the third and fourth ladies named Qiushuangzhai and Lotus Lotus Champs, and named the courtyard of the eldest young master Yihong Courtyard, and the courtyard of the second young master was named Zilingzhou, and some other courtyards were also installed with names such as Daoxiang Village, Cave Jingxi Pavilion, Tubi Villa, Nuan Xiangwu, Luxue Garden, Jinlou, Hongxiangpu, Qinfang Pavilion, Dicui Pavilion and other names. When Lin Baiyu first heard it, she thought that her yard had become a grand view garden.
"Second sister came so early, it seems to be in good spirits, it seems that Aunt Zhou's affairs have not affected you. As soon as Lin Baiyu entered the Tubi Villa, she heard the strange words of yin and yang, and it was Lin Baijuan, the fourth lady of the Lin family, who spoke. Lin Baiyu raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Lin Baijuan staring at her, her face full of jealousy and hatred, just think about it. Aunt Zhou was kicked out of the house, but she was not affected at all, and she was allowed to set up a small kitchen in her small courtyard, Lin Baijuan was jealous.
glanced around and found that the eldest lady Lin Baishu had not yet arrived. Lin Baiyu said with some embarrassment: "Aunt Zhou did something wrong, what does my father and mother have to do with me driving her out of the house?
Lin Baijuan called out: "That's your mother!"
Lin Baiyu's tone was light: "My mother is a lady. β
"What a sycophant, in order to please his wife, he even denied his own mother. That's right, I don't usually see how you are filial to Aunt Zhou, just like a white-eyed wolf. Lin Baijuan said disdainfully, "No matter how much you deny it, Aunt Zhou is the mother who gave birth to you after all, hehe, second sister, you are now the child of a cheap concubine who made a mistake, and your status is lower than before, and you can't compare with us." You'd better retreat when you see me later. β
"Nonsense, it's all the father's daughter, what's the difference between high and low. It was not Lin Baiyu who said this, but Lin Baishu, who had just entered the door. She frowned, her face full of anger. After knowing her true identity, Lin Baijuan's words poked at her sore spot.
"Fourth sister, if you don't respect the eldest sister, you will be punished for not eating snacks at noon today. Lin Baishu glared at Lin Baijuan. Aunt Zhou is Lin Baishu's mother, even though the "daughter of a cheap concubine" in Lin Baijuan's mouth is Lin Baiyu, but she is weak in her heart, and she always feels that Lin Baijuan is sarcastic about herself.
"Why?" Lin Baijuan was not convinced. Why did Lin Baishu actually defend Lin Baiyu, a cheap girl, and punish herself? The ancients only ate two meals a day, morning and evening, and ate dim sum to cushion her stomach when she was hungry, Lin Baishu withheld her dim sum, didn't she want her to starve?
"Just because I am the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion or the eldest lady of the concubine, I naturally have the right to deal with a sister who made a mistake. Lin Baishu said coldly.
"I'm not wrong, Lin Baiyu is the daughter of a cheap concubine!" Lin Baijuan shouted angrily.
"Call the eldest sister's name, disrespect the eldest sister, tomorrow's dim sum will be deducted. β
"It's not fair, you can't do this to me!" Lin Baijuan roared angrily.
"If you think it's unfair, then go to your mother and father and see if they think you're right or I'm right. Lin Baishu suggested with malicious malice. If Lin Baijuan really ran to find Lin Junhao and Mrs. Lin so whitely, Lin Baishu dared to guarantee that with the mood of the two of them at this time, Lin Baijuan would definitely be unlucky.
"I, I'm ......" Lin Baijuan also knew that on the side of Mrs. Lin Houyue, her status could not be compared with Lin Baishu at all, so she puffed up at Lin Baishu for a while, and finally sat down indignantly.
The third Lin Baichan shrank her head, and originally planned to trouble Lin Baiyu, but seeing that Lin Baijuan got the result, she shrank decisively. If you want to find trouble with Lin Baiyu, you don't have to be at this time, wait for Lin Baishu to be there, and then bully Lin Baiyu.
Lin Baishu took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Baiyu with a complicated face, and said to her: "Second sister, in two days, the plum banquet held by the eldest princess of Wen'an, will you go with me?"
As soon as the words came out, Lin Baichan and Lin Baijuan were envious, jealous and hateful of Lin Baiyu.
The banquet of the eldest princess of Wen'an is not something that anyone can go to, only the daughters and sons-in-law of officials above the fourth rank are eligible to participate, and the concubines and concubines are not eligible to participate at all.
"Thank you, big sister, no need. Lin Baiyu directly rejected this suggestion to pull hatred for herself. It's also thanks to Lin Baishu that she can figure out that letting a concubine go to the plum banquet that only her concubines can participate in, is it a special target for ridicule?
"If you don't go, forget it. Lin Baishu felt that Lin Baiyu didn't know what to do, because she felt a little guilty, she wanted to help her, and pulled her into the circle of nobles in the capital, but she didn't expect her to refuse herself, was she resentful of herself for robbing her identity? Although I don't think that such a shallow ancient concubine has any ability to deal with herself, but it is mentioned in the house fighting article that many methods of the back house cannot be guarded against, maybe an inconspicuous pawn can also secretly plot against the protagonist, so it is better to be careful.
Hearing that Lin Baiyu rejected Lin Baishu, Lin Baichan and Lin Baijuan both breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought that Lin Baishu would invite Lin Baiyu instead of inviting the two of them, these two people vomited, seeing that Lin Baishu and Lin Baiyu both had bayonets in their eyes.
The female gentleman walked in, this female gentleman's name is Feng Xichun, she was originally a female official in the palace, and after leaving the palace, she didn't want to wronged herself to marry a man who was inferior to herself everywhere, so she combed her hair and became a female gentleman who taught the daughter of the boudoir. Feng Xichun himself is very talented, he knows all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he has some talent before entering the palace, teaching the four members of the Hou Mansion, ah, no, three daughters are more than enough - Lin Baishu can't be counted, people can compose poems at the age of three, and the poems they make are praised by Confucianism, in this regard, Mr. Feng is not qualified to guide Lin Baishu at all. Fortunately, there are other aspects that can teach Lin Baishu. In addition to learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from Mr. Feng, the four of them also learned some rules in the palace from him, so they were prepared. Especially Lin Baishu, the Lin family thought that Lin Baishu's excellence was only worthy of royal people.
Mr. Feng glanced at Lin Baichan and Lin Baijuan, who had disgruntled faces, and then looked at Lin Baishu, who was a little dissatisfied, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Baiyu, who looked indifferent, and sighed in his heart. It's a pity that Lin Baiyu is only a concubine like an outstanding girl, and she has to hide it in order to reduce trouble. Yes, among the four sisters, Mr. Feng is more optimistic about Lin Baiyu. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Baishu is the most outstanding among the women in the capital, and the poems and lyrics are all masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, and the eyes of Mr. Feng, who gets along with the four sisters of the Lin family every day to teach them knowledge, are brighter, she found that Lin Baishu is indeed a poet who is against the sky, but what makes her feel strange is that these poems written by Lin Baishu herself, she herself has some incomprehensible meanings, so that Mr. Feng wonders if someone is ghostwriting for Lin Baishu, so he secretly observed for a year, and found that it was really Lin Baishu who wrote it himself before putting down the matterγ In addition to composing poems and filling in lyrics, Lin Baishu is not particularly good at other aspects, books are not as good as Lin Baichan, paintings are not as good as Lin Baijuan, and the piano is not much different from the two, but Lin Baishu can make some novel and beautiful tunes, which is naturally better than the sisters.
