Chapter 53: Mid-Autumn Festival (I)

"That's all for today. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mama Xu smiled with satisfaction, and when she came back, in order to show her gratitude, she taught Lin Bining some palace rules and palace etiquette every day, although this was contrary to Mrs. Zhao's advice that day, but at least she was worthy of her heart.

"There's Mama Lao. Like smoke, send Mama for me. ”

Lin Bining wiped the thin sweat on her face, although Mama Xu is gentle, she is very strict in teaching etiquette, she is also a strong character, every time she kneels and salutes, she strives to be perfect, but she is tired of sweating. She didn't know that Mama Xu suddenly began to teach her the rules again, was it the meaning of the Zhao family or the meaning of Mama herself? Although she can't use the palace rules and rituals that Mama said, she doesn't have to press her body with more skills, and it doesn't hurt to learn more.

Ruwu lifted the amber brocade curtain, came in and handed a peach carved wooden box to Lin Bining, and said, "Miss, Songyu Yuan sent someone to send another box of gifts." ”

Lin Bining opened it and saw that there were some gadgets for beads, bracelets, hairpins, picks up a string of agate and twists it, and said lightly: "Have you asked if this is a single gift for me, or is there also a second lady?" ”

"I asked Song'er, and I said that it was only in Luomei Courtyard." Ruwu responded that Song'er was originally doing chores in the flower hall, and was later sent to Songyu Courtyard to serve Zhao Yicheng. Once she broke an antique on an errand, it was Lin Bining who helped her intercede to avoid punishment, so she would tell Luomei Courtyard any news.

Lin Bining threw the agate back into the box, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully, closed the wooden box, pushed it out, and ordered: "Go back." ”

"Miss has returned the young master's gift several times, will it not be good?" Every time Zhao Yicheng sent something, it would be locked and thrown at the bottom of the box, if it was sent to Luomei Courtyard, Miss always returned, Ruwu was worried that her actions would be too bad for Zhao Yicheng's face, and it would attract the other party to complain.

Lin Bining shook his head and said, "That's better than receiving it privately." ”

In his previous life, Zhao Yicheng took the initiative to propose marriage to his father, didn't he mean that he and he were in love, and they had already exchanged tokens and made a private decision for life? When her father came to her and asked her if she had done so, she did receive many gifts, but she could not argue with them. Although Zhao Yicheng has often comforted herself since her brother's disappearance, she also has a good impression of him, but she regards him more as an older brother. Later, she asked Zhao Yicheng why he wronged him for a private life with him, and he defended that his father would not marry his baby daughter to him, saying that he really liked him. hated that she didn't see through Zhao Yicheng's true face at that time, thinking that it was better to marry a familiar person than to marry a stranger, and this person still liked herself, so she agreed to this family business.

Ruwu saw her resolute attitude, so he sent the gift back to Songyu Temple.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the Lin family worships the moon as usual and the whole family enjoys the moon and eats a reunion dinner together. Lin Bining deliberately wore a silver-red embroidered small gold flower placket, a concubine-colored silver-thread embroidered moire horse-faced skirt, a moon-white Ruyi palace silk tied around her waist, combed a fairy bun, and the vermilion ribbon hung on both sides, only a drop-shaped white jade bead with a color like congealed fat fell between her forehead, and bright red tassel earrings hung down from her ears, which were bright and moving, but not rich and vulgar.

Lin Biwen looked at her, looked at the red brocade armor and the eight-piece embroidered skirt of the same color she was wearing, stroked the red gold peony hairpin on her head, and felt that the other party was not as gorgeous as herself, so she snorted with satisfaction and walked slowly past her, proudly like a peacock with an open screen.

She affectionately held Mrs. Ning's hand, looked at Lin Bining with her eyes, and said with a coquettish smile: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, when I worship the moon, my granddaughter will definitely pray to heaven to bless my grandmother with good health and youth." ”

Old Mrs. Ning smiled a chrysanthemum on her face, patted her hand and praised: "Okay, good, what a filial child." ”

Lin Bining knew that Lin Biwen deliberately showed off the old lady's love for her in front of her, because she wanted to see her sad, but she was afraid that she would be disappointed. For the old lady Lin Bining, she has long been unable to expect anything, so she will naturally not be disappointed. She saluted Mrs. Ning in a proper manner, and no matter how cold the other party's attitude was, she just stood quietly beside her, smiling and listening to them.

When Lin Changru arrived, he saw the old lady, the Zhao family and Lin Biwen talking affectionately in one place, and Lin Bining was squeezed out alone, feeling very uncomfortable, and after meeting them, he stood beside her and smiled: "My sister looks so good today!" But you've always been afraid of the cold, and it's cold at night, so you're really thinly dressed. ”

Lin Bining pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, Ruwu took the cloak, but I don't think it's hot." If you feel cold, put it on again. ”

Lin Changru approached her and wanted to say something, but when Zhao saw Zhao Yicheng coming, he said: "Everyone has arrived, and the master is not here today, so Changru will lead everyone to worship the moon and incense on the head." He swallowed what he wanted to say, walked out in a few steps, and led the people to stand towards the incense case.

There are incense burners, moon cakes and some seasonal fruits on the incense table in the courtyard, Lin Changru worshiped first, and then Mrs. Ning, Zhao, Lin Biwen, Lin Bining, and Zhao Yicheng worshiped the moon god in turn. After the ceremony, Zhao asked the old lady what she meant, and said with a smile: "The old lady is gracious, there is no need to divide the table for the family banquet tonight, they are all a family, and everyone has a reunion dinner together." ”

After thanking everyone, they went to the hall and sat down. Mrs. Ning sat on the upper seat, Xia Yang respected the left, Zhao sat on the left hand side of the old lady, Lin Biwen sat on the right hand side of the old lady before Lin Changru, Lin Changru sat next to Lin Biwen, Zhao Yicheng sat down next to Zhao, and then Lin Bining was sandwiched between Lin Changru and Zhao Yicheng.

Lin Bining, who ate this meal, was very painful, and she was careful throughout the whole process, trying her best to avoid touching Zhao Yicheng, and finally the old lady put down her chopsticks and announced the end of the dinner, she quickly stood up and was about to leave, Zhao Yicheng called out to her: "Cousin Ning." ”

Lin Bining had no choice but to stop, turned to look at him, and saw that the other party was full of smiles, as if he was not affected by the events at the table, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, don't you like the gifts I gave?" I don't know what my cousin likes, but my cousin found it for you. ”

Lin Bining said lightly: "No need, I don't have to do anything, I deserve your gift." ”

"Cousin, why are you ......" Zhao Yicheng wanted to ask Lin Bining why he was so cold to himself, but was interrupted by Lin Changru.

"Is Cousin Zhao looking for my sister?" Lin Changru smiled harmlessly, "I'm looking for her for something." ”

Such an obvious eviction made Zhao Yicheng unable to hear it, and the question he wanted to ask was not good in front of others, so he maintained his usual demeanor, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go first, and I'll ask my cousin for advice next time." ”

Lin Changru looked at his back and asked, "What can he ask his sister for?" ”

"Who knows." Lin Bining responded casually, "You said you had something to look for me, what is the matter?" ”

Lin Changru immediately put Zhao Yicheng's matter behind, squeezed his eyes at her and smiled: "Sister didn't eat enough at night, Master and I have prepared wine and food, do you want to come and enjoy the moon together?" ”

Lin Bining couldn't beg for it, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
