Chapter 9: Second Miss
Mother Feng was a little strange when she saw Lin Bining coming to Linlong Pavilion, and she was more embarrassed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mother Feng has been on an errand in Lin Wenliang's study in the outer courtyard, because Lin Bining often goes there to read, and she has been instructed by Lin Wenliang to serve the eldest lady, and the two are already familiar with each other.
Once when she was cleaning the study, she accidentally wet a page of the book that Lin Wenliang spread out on the table, and later learned that it was a precious lone book, and Lin Wenliang forgot to put it away when he was in a hurry to go out in the morning. Books like this are hard to buy even if you have money, and she is so anxious that she doesn't know what to do.
It happened that Lin Bining came to the study to look for books, and when she learned about it, she advised Feng's mother not to worry, she could help solve it.
It turned out that Feng's mother wiped it very carefully and only wet a few pages, which were exactly what she had memorized when she read this book before, so Lin Bining wrote down the content silently and carefully pasted it on the book. Lin Wenliang didn't blame Feng's mother afterwards, so she was very grateful to Lin Bining.
Later, Lin Bining was worried that this kind of thing would happen again, so she and Lin Wenliang proposed to copy another copy of those unique books as an archive. Lin Wenliang also praised Lin Bining for being thoughtful about this matter, and handed over the matter of copying books to her.
Lin Bining treats her subordinates kindly, and has helped herself, if she wants to go in, Feng's mother is really hard to refuse.
Mother Feng didn't wait for Lin Bining to walk in and greeted her: "Why did the eldest lady come here?" The tone was half puzzled, half persuasive.
Lin Bining smiled at her and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't worry, I know the master's orders, and I won't make it difficult for you." I didn't go into the courtyard either, I just sent some flowers to my second sister, I don't think it should be against the will of the master. Mom, do you see this makes? ”
"Make it." Mother Feng's old face turned red, it was she who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, "The eldest lady gave me the flowers, and I sent them in for the eldest lady." Seeing the flowers behind Lin Bining that looked like a cigarette bouquet, he praised them repeatedly, "This flower is really beautiful, I don't know what variety it is, it seems that I haven't seen it in the house before." ”
"Then it's a problem for Mom. The name of this flower is Dan jealous red, a kind of peony. Shangdu has not planted this flower before, but it has only started to be planted in recent years, and it is not to blame that my mother has not seen it before. Lin Bining asked Ruyan to hand over the flowers to Feng's mother, and asked her to give the box of shortbread to Feng's mother, and said, "Mom has worked hard these days. My brother sent a lot of new shortbread from the stove tea the day before yesterday, and the taste was not bad. It's just that I can't eat so much alone, so my mother doesn't dislike it, so I accept it, and I try it in my spare time. ”
"Thank you, Miss, then I'll accept it politely. Lin Bining would appreciate the maid's snacks or gadgets from time to time, and Feng's mother had received them several times before, so she accepted them happily this time.
One box of dim sum in the furnace tea restaurant costs the same money, and ten boxes of dim sum are enough for their family to live for a month. This young master is really generous to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is also very generous to her subordinates.
It is not surprising that Feng's mother would have such an exclamation.
The Lin family's business was quite successful, and even the princes and nobles vied to buy the incense products they sold, and their lives were also rich. Because Lin Wenliang experienced a poor life when he was a child, even if he was rich and noble, he was still simple, so the Zhao housekeeper was also relatively frugal, and the monthly money given to the young master and young lady was three taels a month.
However, Feng's mother guessed that Lin Wenliang doted on the brothers and sisters very much, and said that she had to give them pocket money in private. Otherwise, with the young master's lavish spending, where is the monthly money enough.
Lin Bining finished delivering the things, chatted with Feng's mother for a while, and then returned to the Mei Courtyard.
**********
Linglong Garden window kang is covered with a big red brocade mattress, Lin Biwen is sitting cross-legged on it is copying the female ring, there are only a few numbers on the smooth cedar paper, she is irritable in her heart, put down the pen and pushed it out angrily, and kept fanning with her hand: "It's hot this day, where is the pearl?" Grab a fan. ”
Jade lifted the curtain from the outside and came in, put aside the jasmine tea that Lin Biwen wanted, and replied, "Pearl has gone to the gate, it seems that Mother Feng has something to look for her." Miss is tired, I help Miss fan, relax and relax. As he spoke, he picked up the pink hibiscus flower silk fan from the high table and slowly fanned it.
The weather is still cool at the end of spring, and there are fans used there? It turned out that Lin Biwen was punished for copying the female ring, and she was annoyed and irritable, and she needed someone to fan her side to barely be able to copy a few words quietly. So the fan was taken out of the cage early.
There was a small wind blowing for a while, Lin Biwen drank a sip of fragrant tea, feeling that the irritability was slowly calmed down, and although Feng's mother's tone was not so impulsive, it was still not much better: "What can she do with looking for pearls?" Surely uneasy and well-intentioned. ”
Jade silently fanned the fan and didn't answer, Mother Feng was acting on orders, and there was nothing wrong with saying it, of course, she didn't dare to say this to the second lady. The second lady thinks that this flower is red, and if others defend that it is peach, they will be scolded.
Lin Biwen was thinking about it, when the little girl opened the curtain, and Pearl came in with a plain porcelain potbelly vase. The red peony flowers are even more delicate against the white vase, and she smiled and praised: "This peony is blooming well, bring it to me and take a look." After Pearl put the vase on the kang table, she gently stroked the dew on the petals and asked, "Where did it come from?" I remember that there was no such breed in the yard. ”
Pearl lowered her head and replied cautiously: "Mother Feng just gave it, saying that it was sent by the eldest lady herself, and it is a new variety that has become popular in Shangdu, called Dan Jealous Red." ”
"Who sent it?" Lin Biwen suspected that she had misheard and asked again.
"Mother Feng said it was the eldest lady."
Lin Biwen sneered: "Lin Bining? Would she be so kind to send me flowers? ”
There was silence in the room, and no one answered.
Lin Biwen didn't expect them to say anything, and asked, "Didn't you say that the medicine jar had a high fever and couldn't survive?" How is it that not only are you not dead these days, but you can run around? ”
Pearl closed her mouth tightly and didn't speak, and Jade replied in a low voice: "It was said that the master invited a doctor to be optimistic." ”
"Phew! I don't believe what the doctor is optimistic about. I think it's her pretending, otherwise she would be alive so quickly. It's just a little water, and there's a point where you're going to die or live. Lin Biwen gritted her teeth and said, her voice unconsciously became louder, "The master is eccentric, there is only the one who has no mother in his eyes, and he forgets that I am a serious lady in this house." ”
Although Lin Biwen had often said these words before, but now it was different from the past, and Jade hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, be quiet, if Mother Feng hears this, it will not be good for it to reach the ears of the master." ”
"I'm like this, what's so bad!" Thinking that he had been locked up in the courtyard for so many days, and that he had to copy the female ring so many times, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and when he thought that he was so harmed by Lin Bining, he hated it even more in his heart. Looking at the bright red and delicate peony in front of her, Lin Biwen grabbed it and crushed it with her hands, and the red flower juice dyed her nails with color.
"What a novelty breed I am not rare!" As he spoke, he threw the crumpled flower mud to the ground, and suddenly thought of the name of the flower, "Dan is jealous of red, Dan is jealous of red!" She's saying I'm jealous of her. Shameless thing! She's worthy of it! I said how could she be so kind to come to see me, it turned out that she wanted to do something to me, to see my jokes. ”
Pinching the flowers is even more intense, Lin Bining wants to grab the vase and throw it away. However, the body of the pot-bellied bottle was a little big, she didn't catch it with one hand for a while, she didn't expect even a bottle to be against her, so angry that she held it up with both hands and raised it above her head and fell to the ground fiercely, and with a crisp clattering sound, the fragile vase was shattered. Lin Biwen looked at the debris all over the ground, as if she had broken Lin Bining and smiled happily: "I'll let you see my jokes!" Let you see my jokes! In this way, she still couldn't understand her hatred, and when the maid didn't react, she got out of bed and put on her shoes and stepped on the splinters a few times.
Pearl and Jade were frightened to death when they saw Lin Biwen's movements, and they quickly stepped forward to stop them with a scream, and shouted worriedly: "Miss watch your feet!" ”
Lin Biwen was startled by the screams of the two maids, she was only angry just now, but now she woke up and heard the maids shouting like this, and felt some pain in her feet, and couldn't help but suspect that she had been pierced by shards, and shouted anxiously: "Are you dead!" He didn't help me sit down and check if my foot was pricked. ”
Pearl and Jade carefully helped Lin Biwen to sit down, and carefully lifted her feet to take off her shoes, but fortunately, the soles were thick and not broken.
Lin Biwen saw that she was not injured, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief and scolded in her heart.
Sure enough, it's not good to run into Lin Bining, and even if you touch her things, you will be unlucky!
