Chapter XVII. Preparation
"Brother! Brother! ”
Ruwu heard Lin Bining's panicked shouts outside, and hurriedly went in to lift the curtain to take a look, and found that she was sweating profusely, knowing that it was a nightmare, and hurriedly shouted in her ear: "Wake up, Miss!" Wake up, Miss! ”
Lin Bining's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, sweating all over, her head was dizzy and uncomfortably tight, and she wanted to press it hard with her hands, but she found that her whole body was weak like collapse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ruwu turned around and went to the clean room to get a handkerchief, gently wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, and said worriedly: "Miss, but you have a nightmare again?" Shouting and screaming, did you dream of something terrible? ”
Hearing this, Lin Bining's body stiffened, and her head was dizzy and couldn't remember what she dreamed, but she didn't shout anything that shouldn't be shouted, she said casually: "Then what did I shout?" I can't remember what I dreamed about. ”
Ruwu asked the maid to bring a basin of warm water, just threw the handkerchief into it, and didn't notice Lin Bining's strange appearance, and replied: "I only heard the shouts of your brother and brother, miss, didn't you dream that something happened to the young master?" ”
"Maybe, what he said yesterday really scared me, I didn't even know he would have such thoughts." Lin Bining breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't call Zhao Yicheng or anything. It may be that yesterday's conversation with Lin Changru caused unrestlessness, so he thought about it day and night, just in case it was better to light the dream incense at night.
Ruwu comforted: "Miss, don't worry too much, don't you say that dreams are the opposite." Besides, the young master is just confused for a while, didn't the young lady also convince the young master? ”
Having said that, Lin Bining's heart is restless, she should prepare with both hands, Lin Changru should pay attention to it, and Zhao Yicheng should also be prepared, in the end, Zhao Yicheng is the real source of the disaster.
In fact, she has always been unable to understand Zhao Yicheng's hatred and revenge against the Lin family.
According to the situation, the Zhao family is Zhao Yicheng's aunt and the only elder he has left in the world, so why don't you want the Lin family to be good; Reasoning says that the Lin family took him in and raised him, and recruited him as a son-in-law to entrust him with important responsibilities, and was as kind to him as a mountain, why should he hate the Lin family.
Could it be that the Lin and Zhao families have a feud? No, if you really have a grudge, the Zhao family will not marry Lin Wenliang.
There are so many doubts!
Lin Bining waved her hand, signaling that Ruwu didn't need to be wiped, and ordered: "If you sweat, you don't need to wipe it, you go to the clean room to prepare the hot water, I want to bathe." ”
Sending the little girl away, Lin Bining beckoned Ruwu to sit on the edge of the bed and asked, "I remember if you and Ruyan have a brother?" ”
Ruwu only sat on half of his buttocks, and replied: "It's like smoke has an older brother, and my family only has a younger brother." ”
"What kind of man and what is his temperament? Can you be trusted? "This matter can only be inquired about by someone who is honest and reliable, and it is better to be older.
"I've seen it from afar, and I think it's a loyal one. His family originally signed a contract to be a house slave, but the old man was kind-hearted, and seeing that her brother was diligent and capable, he asked him to be an apprentice in the Lin family's incense shop. Like smoke is the first class maid of the young lady, their family has always been good friends with the Luomei Pavilion, and they think it is reliable. Why does Miss have something to do for him? ”
"I've got something I want to find someone to go on a long trip. Forget it, now is not the right time either. But you usually keep an eye on me, and you also inquire if there are any errands in the store. Lin Bining wanted to send someone to Zhao Yicheng's hometown to inquire about the news, it would definitely take two or three months to go south and north, how could no one doubt it, this had to be planned carefully.
"Yes, miss." Ruwu found that since Lin Bining woke up from falling into the water, she has become mysterious and secretive, but she believes that the young lady must have a deep meaning in doing things, and she only needs to do it as a maid, anyway, she will definitely know in the future.
**********
The sky has just revealed a few rays of light, the early birds are still sleeping, Zhao has finished washing, the moon white Hangzhou silk long jacket and royal blue silver silk dark embroidered Fu word horse face skirt, combed neat and neat bun, only two pairs of white hostas, the face is lightly powdered, looking particularly dignified and generous.
Today is the first day of the fourth lunar month, Lin Wenliang attaches great importance to the matter of worshipping ancestors, and repeatedly tells the Zhao family to be prepared properly and not to make any mistakes.
After hastily having breakfast, Zhao called Wan's mother over and instructed carefully: "You go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it, the sacrificial offerings must not be sloppy, especially the fresh fruits sent yesterday, you must carefully check it again, and only pick the one that has not been bumped." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Mother Wan was about to leave after answering, but Zhao called out to her again: "You wait, let the waiter go with you, the sky is not yet dawn, and many people have more eyes, and they can see more clearly." She was afraid that Mother Wan and the mother-in-law in the kitchen would be dizzy, and the bookkeeper had always been meticulous in her work, so she could rest assured that she would follow.
After Wan's mother left with the book, Zhao also took the chess and other maids to the ancestral hall, the table outside the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors has been set up, the incense and candles have been prepared, and everyone is busy in an orderly manner.
A smile appeared on Zhao's face.
Opening an ancestral hall to worship ancestors is a major event, and Lin Biwen was also authorized by Lin Wenliang to participate. Thinking of this daughter, Zhao had a headache. At such an important time today, Lin Biwen can't make any more mistakes. Zhao Shi didn't feel at ease about what he thought, so he decided to go to Linglong Pavilion in person and give him a good advice.
This time, Feng's mother was instructed and did not stop her, when Zhao and his party went in, Lin Biwen had just finished dressing up, and when she saw that her mother was coming, she happily ran forward and hugged Zhao's hand, half coquettish and half aggrieved and shouted: "Mother, why did you come to see me, my daughter is having such a hard time these days!" ”
The Zhao family should have been happy not to see their daughter for a long time, but after seeing Lin Biwen's outfit clearly, her smiling face immediately froze, pulled her out of her arms, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what day it is?" Who chose this dress and headdress for you? ”
Lin Biwen didn't understand why her mother changed her face, she mentioned her dress, her eyebrows were flying, and she turned around proudly: "I chose this body myself, it's good-looking!" I don't like the color of the clothes that Jade chose for me before, but this one is still good-looking. I haven't been out for so long, and of course I have to dress up well on such an important day as opening an ancestral shrine to worship my ancestors, but I can't let that medicine jar steal the limelight. I originally wanted to wear a double phoenix hairpin, but I didn't find it, so I had to wear this pair of butterfly hairpins......"
The more Zhao listened, the more angry his heart became, and he shouted: "Shut up!" What a fool, you still know that today is the day to worship your ancestors, so you are dressed like this! It's not a bride to worship your ancestors, which red you wear and which flower you wear! ”
Then he instructed Jade and Pearl, "Why don't you hurry up and change the young lady into plain clothes, take off all those flowers and hairpins, and only wear two silver hairpins." ”
Lin Biwen was scolded by the Zhao family for the first time, and she was more aggrieved than frightened, and sobbed quietly: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Zhao Shi closed his eyes fiercely and did not answer, his chest was still rising and falling, which showed that he was very angry. She prides herself on being a smart person, but how can she give birth to a daughter who is so confused and stupid. She asked herself if she also taught Lin Biwen with her heart, how could she not be as good as the one who had no one to support her.
Seeing this, the waiter had to pull Lin Biwen into the clean room, wiped her face with a handkerchief and persuaded her: "Miss, don't blame Mrs., Mrs. hates iron but not steel, so she will speak more heavily." ”
"What is my mother for? She had never scolded me before. Lin Biwen felt very aggrieved.
"Miss, worshipping ancestors is a solemn and solemn thing, and Miss's bright dress will look disrespectful to the ancestors. Besides, the young lady is still grounded, and she is dressed up softly, and the old man is very fond of it, and it is unknown whether she will be exempted from punishment. ”
Lin Biwen felt that the words of the chess servant were very reasonable, so she didn't make any more trouble and obediently changed her outfit. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, it was not too early to toss like this, it was not good to say anything more, but solemnly told Lin Biwen to talk less and say more wrong.
