Chapter 7: Mutations
"Miss, hurry up. What are you still grinding? Passing through this garden, you will find Yunxin Garden on the right. ”
Looking at Lin Xiaoyou, who was walking slowly behind, Qianqian shouted funny.
She could fully feel Lin Xiaoyou's nervousness, and the mother and daughter who had been separated for more than ten years could see each other again, and that kind of excitement and complicated mood would be the same for everyone. Although Lin Xiaoyou had been asking her about Mrs. Yan before, she didn't dare to say more.
For this second lady who has just been taken home and is not favored, she actually likes it from the bottom of her heart. has been sold to the Lin Mansion as a slave since she was a child, how can she not understand the surface scenery of these official eunuchs, and the intrigue behind the scenes.
The treatment of the concubine and the concubine is always separated by clouds and mud. Like them, who are slaves and maids, who will look at them squarely, and it is good to do their duty honestly.
Maybe she was a little luckier and was arranged to serve this second lady, although she was a concubine, but after all, she was also her master. But she has never been treated as a person, and she is always called a sister and a sister. is not like the arrogant and willful man who came out, and if something goes wrong, he will take down all the people and get angry.
"Sister, do you think my mother won't know me?" Lin Xiaoyou, who stopped suddenly, asked.
Years of worrying, to now close at hand, excited, excited, anxious, even she can't figure out what kind of mood this is.
The memory of the five-year-old is too vague after all, what happened in the middle? Why she was sent away, she didn't know at all. In the days on the mountain, everything in this home was completely forgotten, and only a vague impression and concern for his mother remained.
"Yo, who is here, it turns out to be my sister who was just picked up home!"
Following the prestige, Lin Qingyue, who was dressed luxuriously and brightly, was coming from the other side with a personal maid and two old mothers, if you ignore the tone of speech and the smile full of contempt, she is really an out-and-out beauty.
Qianqian hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Lin Xiaoyou turned a deaf ear and pretended not to see it, she knew the attitude of these people towards her, although this sister said that she didn't deliberately embarrass her, but this arrogant demeanor really made her unhappy, and it was rare to deal with her.
"Sister, let's go." After speaking, he took Qianqian over from the other side.
Such disregard made Lin Qingyue's heart burn with anger. She is the eldest lady of the Lin family, from childhood to adulthood, who doesn't pet her like a star-studded moon, Lin Xiaoyou is just a lowly concubine, why dare she be so disdainful of her.
"Don't think that when you return to the Lin family, you really see yourself as a young lady, in the final analysis, she is just born to a cheap concubine, and a concubine is a concubine, no wonder you don't understand the rules at all."
A few people next to him sneered for a while, and Lin Qingyue's personal maid flattered and said: That's it, Miss, you are a dignified eldest lady, the pearl of the old lady's palm, how can it be compared to those lowly concubines. ”
A cheap concubine, lowly, and a concubine, Lin Xiaoyou unconsciously stood in place, gritting his teeth and holding back the grief and indignation in his heart.
Looking at Lin Xiaoyu who stopped, Lin Qingyue smiled with satisfaction.
"My sister is going in this direction, but to see your concubine's mother, she's"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoyou couldn't bear to say: "Shut up, even if you are a concubine, you are not qualified to slander my mother at will." Also, I'm just a concubine, where can I be qualified to be called a sister and sister with you, a delicate and expensive concubine. Please, Miss, I still have something to do, so I will not accompany you. ”
One sentence choked Lin Qingyue's face pale. The maid hurriedly comforted: "Miss, you don't have to be like her, so as not to insult your identity." ”
Listening to the maid's words, Lin Qingyue snorted: "Lin Xiaoyu, don't rely on your father's kindness to you to be so ignorant of etiquette." After all, it's a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet yet, and if you marry out in the future, you'll suffer a loss, so don't blame my sister for not reminding you when the time comes. ”
After speaking, he ignored Lin Xiaoyu's reaction and left from the opposite direction.
Hmph, joke, I don't know who it is because of my father's favor and I don't know who it is, and now I actually run to talk about her? It's even more impossible to get married, she just wants to be with her senior brother in this life, will she marry someone else besides her senior brother? Wait, someone else, someone else. A bad premonition arises spontaneously, can it be said
"No, it won't" Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyou shook her head fiercely, it shouldn't be what she thought.
"Sister, are you hiding something from me?" Still couldn't get rid of the thought that scared her, so she had to confirm it with Qianqian.
Qianqian asked inexplicably, "What did Miss say?" ”
Lin Xiaoyou thought for a while and said, "Sister, I know that you are actually very good to me, and I also ask myself if you are good." Try to understand your suffering, so I didn't ask you about things that you always avoided when I asked about them. But now, you have to tell me what I mean by that. Is there someone who comes to propose? ”
"Oh, this is someone who came to propose, but it's just a proposition for the eldest lady, so don't worry about it." Although the old lady had instructed her not to tell the second lady as much as possible, she still said it without hesitation when she looked at Lin Xiaoyou's flustered expression.
She couldn't figure it out herself, obviously it wasn't about the second lady, but she still wanted her to hide it.
"Is it?" although Qianqian's words made her look a little relaxed, she still had a bad feeling.
"Hide, Miss"
Before Lin Xiaoyou could react, he was pulled by Qianqian to hide behind the rockery in the garden.
Just as she was about to ask, Qianqian covered her mouth with her hand and motioned for her to keep quiet. Waiting for the next sound of footsteps, it was Lin Lanhai coming this way.
Waiting for him to pass by, Qianqian explained: "Miss, do you know, the master lives in the west courtyard, the other ladies live in the south courtyard, and only Mrs. Yan is alone in the north courtyard here." Every time the lord comes over, he goes to see Mrs. Yan, so we might as well wait for the lord to leave before we go! ”
Lin Xiaoyou became more and more puzzled: "Why is this?" ”
"This"
Looking at Qianqian, Lin Xiaoyou hurriedly said: "If you don't say it, I'll go by myself, I think my mother still needs to dodge like this." ”
Qianqian hurriedly stopped: "Miss No, in fact, don't you really remember, Miss?" Madame has never been out of that courtyard since she gave birth to you, she has never seen the master, and the slave and maid do not know what is going on, and the master's mind is never something that our slaves and maids can figure out. ”
What is this, since she gave birth to her, my mother has never been out of that yard, and I haven't seen my father. Why? She didn't know, and she couldn't remember what was going on? Ever since she returned, this home has kept her in good spirits.
"Miss, don't be nervous, you listen to me, Madame won't see the master, he will leave soon, it has been like this for so many years. And Madame is also very good, there is always someone to serve, you don't have to worry. The lord will branch the subordinates every time he goes, so wait for us to go over. Qianqian added comfortingly.
Too much shock has made her at a loss, no wonder she inquired about her mother's news before, but Qianqian has been refusing to say. It turns out that my mother's life is such a field, what is it that makes it like this? Why was she sent away? Why was he brought back? What is all this all about? Lin Xiaoyou's heart was in turmoil, how could she solve so many mysteries?
Lin Xiaoyu pretended to be calm, this home was weird everywhere, and there was no place for her existence. She's not stupid, she can feel it completely, she just doesn't want to think too much about it, and scares herself. She just wants to stay honest and not cause trouble, because she believes that her senior brother will definitely come back to pick her up, and he will definitely come.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyou took a deep breath and said to Qianqian: "Sister, go back, I want to go over by myself." ”
"Miss, the master hasn't left yet, you"
"It's okay"
She had to find out, she had to figure out what was going on. That's her mother, how can she not care, she has been sad because she went down the mountain to leave her senior brother, and now her heart is full of guilt and bitterness for not coming back earlier. For more than ten years, I don't know how my mother survived.
Without caring about Qianqian's stopping, Lin Xiaoyu quickly trotted towards Yunxinyuan.
"Hmph, slut, you still can't fight me after all." In the gazebo in the corner of the garden, Wu stood in the wind, and his original bright face became extremely hideous at this moment.
This location just happened to have a clear view of the place where Lin Xiaoyu and them had just now, and there were rockeries and green trees around it, and it was really not easy to find someone here if you didn't pay attention to it.
"Mother"
A call called out to the Wu family to quickly return to his former gentle face, turned his head to Lin Qingyue who came over and smiled: "Yue'er, well done!" ”
Listening to Wu's praise, Lin Qingyue was puzzled: "Mother, you have seen it, but Yue'er doesn't understand why her mother asked Yue'er to do this, didn't Dad say not to let her know about the proposal?" ”
"Silly boy, you definitely don't know your father as well as your mother, and your father has always pretended to be that slut in his heart. I'm just afraid that your father will change his mind because of that slut's repentance. Let her follow your dad to find out the truth herself, this is just to help your dad make up his mind. Mother is also for your good."
Lin Qingyue nodded as if she didn't understand: "Yes, in short, I can't let her go easily, I dare to openly seduce my prince on the street, hum." Mother, you must punish her well. ”
Wu smiled and said, "Yue'er, do you want to be a princess?" That's how my daughter is so good. Thanks to your parents, they have worked hard to cultivate you since you were a child. ”
"Mother" Lin Qingyue screamed embarrassedly.
"Okay Yue'er, let's go back and wait for good news."
Wait and see, slut, not only will you not be able to fight me, but even your daughter will never be able to compare to mine.
