Chapter 137: Breaking the Back Road
The next day, Lin Qingge slept until the third pole of the sun.
The chilled lotus leaf and lotus seed porridge was served by the honeymoon, Lin Qingge tasted it, it was sweet and delicious, cool and pleasant, and it was indeed a summer taste. Although there are not many bamboo trees planted in the west corner of the courtyard, the green color is indeed beautiful enough, so that although the sun is scorching outside, there is always a sense of comfort in the courtyard.
The honeymoon was cold, and she took all the embroidery work in the house, and Lin Qingge didn't talk about her.
Gao Yue stood in the courtyard like an ornament, and he didn't ask himself why he came back by himself without missing last night. Although Lin Qingge was puzzled, he always left Gao Yue first last night, and it was not easy to ask again at this time.
Gao Yue stayed by her side as a maid, but it was impossible to pay attention to these things such as serving people, so she simply asked Gao Yue not to do anything, just pay attention to the news.
The room was cooler, but the sun outside was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already afternoon, and after lunch, Lin Qingge was also a little sleepy. Just as I was thinking about getting up and taking a nap on the couch, someone came to the courtyard.
The person who came was the grandmother next to the old lady, and Mingkui welcomed the grandmother into the door and asked, "Grandma, why are you here?"
Mama smiled and said: "Mrs. Li came to see the old lady and sent two horses of Jiangnan Yanyu Silk and asked the slave maid to send one to the girl." ”
After entering the door, the grandmother saluted Lin Qingge: "The eldest lady is well." ”
Lin Qingge said with a smile: "Mama has worked hard all the way, so there is no need to be polite." Mingkui, pour a cup of tea for Mama. ”
Mama looked at Lin Qingge with a smile, now no one in the Lin Mansion dares to underestimate this eldest lady, although Lin Qingge was a fat man in the past, his temperament was cowardly, and his talent was not as good as that of the second miss, so he thought that it would be impossible to turn over again in this life. Who knew that now the eldest lady has become a popular figure in Beijing, and even the old lady has paid attention to her.
Some time ago, the eldest lady also won the first place in the sports meeting, but there is no first place, and now the eldest lady's appearance and temperament will definitely be extraordinary in the future, and who dares to underestimate it. Therefore, things that are high and low are really everywhere in this world.
Mama said: "There are only two horses in total, and the old lady said that she is old, so it will look good to leave it to the two girls at such a good age." If you are in terms of status, you and the second lady are well-deserved. ”
Lin Qingge almost laughed in his heart, if it weren't for his dieting and exercise to lose weight, and winning the championship in the sports meeting, so that the Lin family could see their own use value, how could this old lady of Jiangnan Yanyusi give it to herself.
No matter what she thought in her heart, Lin Qingge ordered Ming Kui to take the Jiangnan smoke and rain silk, and said to Mama: "In this way, then I will bother Mama to go back and thank my grandmother for me." Lin Qingge remembers his grandmother very much. ”
Mama hurriedly smiled and excused herself: "The eldest girl is going to torture the slave." The slave maid went back to Zidang and the old lady to convey the eldest lady's filial piety. She looked at Lin Qingge's smiling appearance, and she was even more embarrassed in her heart.
It is said that Lin Qingge is not very conspicuous on weekdays, but now as long as she stops there and sweeps it over with a fluttering glance, it makes people feel heavy in their hearts. It seems to be a demeanor that only the nobles in the palace have.
After Mama left, Lin Qingge asked Ming Kui and Honeymoon to open the Jiangnan smoke and rain brought by Mama. Jiangnan smoke and rain silk from Hangzhou, rare very, it is said that dozens of top embroidery girls embroider for more than half a year to get such a horse, wear the body texture silky, such as Jiangnan smoke and rain as refreshing, so named Jiangnan smoke and rain silk, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth 100 gold. Sure enough, as soon as Ming Kui and the honeymoon opened, the honeymoon exclaimed.
The silk threads are as white as jade, and they seem to exude a faint luster of pearls, which makes people happy to look at. If you embroider such a flower on your clothes, you can ...... it. It's really going to be a good show among the nobles in the capital.
The honeymoon took the Jiangnan Yanyu silk and said very excitedly: "This silk thread is so beautiful, why don't you let me embroider a peony, no, no, it's too vulgar, it's so vulgar and glamorous, it's not as good as embroidering Xuemei, it matches the temperament of the lady very well, and it will be amazing to wear it." ”
Ming Kui stretched out his hand and gently stroked the silk thread, and said, "Honeymoon, you are lighter." Don't break the thread. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ming Kui leaning over and sniffing something on the silk thread.
Lin Qingge looked at her thoughtfully, and after a while, Ming Kui stood up straight, reached out and put the Jiangnan smoke and rain silk back into the box and put it aside, and frowned silently.
Lin Qingge felt that things might not be simple. looked at her and said loudly: "Mingkui, what's wrong with this fabric?"
"Jiangnan Yanyu Silk itself is fine," Ming Kui frowned: "But the taste of this material seems to be a little strange, the fabric in the house will generally be smoked with incense before it is given to the young ladies, but this Jiangnan Yanyu Silk is not the usual spice taste of our Lin Mansion." ”
Lin Qingge frowned, "You go to Gao Yue and ask him to bring a reliable doctor to the courtyard." ”
After a while, Gao Yue led an old man who was over half a hundred years old into the courtyard.
"Miss, someone has added a special spice to this Jiangnan smoke and rain silk, and it will have a special effect when it is with this silk thread."
Lin Qingge was puzzled: "What is the effect?"
"If a pregnant person smells this incense, he will have a miscarriage within half a month. If it is a girl who has not left the cabinet, she will hurt her body if she smells too much, and she will not be able to conceive a child. The doctor frowned.
"What?" the honeymoon was startled, and almost rushed up in anger and tore the silk thread to pieces: "How can this be?
The doctor stretched out his hand and touched the silk thread and said, "The spices on it seem to be very new, I think they should have been soaked and dried overnight." ”
"It's not grandmother, it's Lin Yinyu. Lin Qingge smiled slightly. Although Lin Qingge is no longer in the mansion when he has moved to another courtyard, Lin Qingge's reputation is getting better and better, and Lin Yinyu is afraid that his position will be threatened.
Even if it is something sent by the old lady, it naturally has to pass through the hands of many people. What Lin Yinyu wants to do can be said to be easy.
As early as when Mama said that this silk thread was only given to her and Lin Yinyu, she felt that something was wrong. Lin Yinyu really didn't let her down, and she didn't want to stop for a day.
"What does she want to do? It stands to reason that our young lady is the eldest daughter, a fellow mother, and she actually murdered the young lady like this!" Ming Kui was also angry.
"It's because I'm the eldest daughter that she can't tolerate me. She didn't want me to die once, she was afraid that I would get in her way. If my eldest daughter is injured and unable to have children, then I can't fight with her for anything. Lin Qingge said lightly.
killing two birds with one stone, not only in addition to the possibility of Lin Qingge's high marriage in the future, but also made Lin Qingge lose his reputation. No matter how beautiful and outstanding she is, the reputation of infertility is pressed on her body, and there is no place for her in the circle of nobles in Beijing.
Lin Yinyu played a good abacus, which is really breathtaking.
Lin Qingge smiled slightly, after waiting for so long, he finally waited for the soft turtle to stretch out his limbs, since he moved, it depends on who will make the cut.
Gao Yue groaned: "Miss, will your subordinates exchange this silk thread with Lin Yinyu's silk thread?" Lin Qingge nodded and acquiesced in Gao Yue's actions.
Lin Yinyu, since you have to send it to the door, don't blame me for cutting you back.
