Chapter 45: The Lin Family
In the main courtyard of the Lin Mansion, several daughters-in-law and little ladies gathered at the old lady.
"Why aren't there any people?" Second Mrs. Lin Zhou took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, a pair of red phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, and made people cool and spicy.
"It rained yesterday, and the road was not easy to walk, so it was delayed for some time." Mrs. Lin's Qu family is more anxious than Zhou's, after all, Lin Dalang is her son, and she hasn't seen her for more than a month, so how can she not worry.
However, she has excellent cultivation, and although she is worried in her heart, she does not show anything on her face.
Second Lady Lin glanced at Mrs. Lin and disdained her heart.
Hypocrisy! When she didn't know how many people she had already sent over?
Lin Liuniang sat next to her mother, Second Mrs. Lin, with a delicate little face and an unhappy look. Lin Wuniang sat a little farther away from her, trying to shrink her body as much as possible, burying her head low, hoping that others would not notice her.
But she was already so low-key, Lin Liuniang was still unwilling to let her go, turned her head and scolded: "What are you doing with your head so low, who do you want to show your mother with a grievance, you want to give your mother eye medicine in front of your grandmother, saying that your mother treats you badly?" โ
Lin Liuniang's mood was very uncomfortable, and a few days ago she went out to play with the handkerchief, and the handkerchief handed over to the family with two new cousins. When the handkerchief handed over and introduced the Lin family sisters to them, they were actually more enthusiastic about Wu Niang than her.
Later, I found out that I had made the wrong object and thought that Wu Niang was her.
I hate it, Lin Liuniang hates two people the most now, one is Lin Sanniang, who ran out inexplicably, delaying the prologue, and causing her to change from the original Lin Wuniang to Lin Liuniang.
The other is Lin Wuniang, who occupies her ranking, making others mistakenly think that she is the concubine.
She is also worthy of the lowly embryo born by the little woman.
Now that Lin Sanniang is not here, Lin Liuniang will sprinkle all her anger on Lin Wuniang, and sneer at her when she has nothing to do.
Finding that she was being targeted by Lin Liuniang again, Lin Wuniang sighed, buried her head and lowered her head, and her voice was weak and pitiful: "My sister misunderstood, my mother has always treated Wuniang very well, and it is too late for Wuniang to be grateful for filial piety, where will I complain about my mother." โ
"Then who do you show with your head down and make such a pitiful look?" Lin Liuniang did not give up.
Lin Wuniang raised her weak and delicate little face, glanced at Lin Liuniang, and then quickly lowered her eyes, and whispered: "I'm just thinking about the third sister I have never met, I don't know what a stunning appearance it is, she can be favored by Princess Qin and hired as the princess, she must be a peerless beauty with outstanding appearance." โ
Lin Liuniang is the most outstanding among the sisters of the Lin family, and she has always been proud, and now when she heard that Lin Sanniang was outstanding, her eyes were red with jealousy.
It's just a village woman from the countryside, why is she, the concubine was born a cheap woman, her father was kicked out of the Lin family, and her daughter actually came back with a face, and her face was thicker than the city wall. As soon as she came back, she delayed her prologue, and now she has to steal the best-looking title among her sisters.
Village woman!
Vulgar and vulgar things, marrying โกโก is also a shame for the Lin family.
Lin Liuniang was angry and hateful, the little girl was temperamental and narrow-minded, and in the end, she couldn't stand the grievances and fell into Zhou's arms and cried.
Old Madam Lin has always turned a blind eye to the small quarrel between their sisters, and has always turned a blind eye to the small quarrel between their sisters, basically ignoring it. But it's not possible to make trouble in the open.
Especially Lin Long's special identity.
The big families all fancy the face, no matter how dirty and dirty the inside is, but the appearance must look like a cluster of flowers and a harmonious atmosphere.
"What are you crying for no reason?" Old Madam Lin frowned, looked at Zhou's reprimand, "I can't even raise a daughter well, go down." โ
Lin Liu is her granddaughter and a descendant of the Lin family, how can there be a mistake, even if there is a mistake, it is because the Zhou family has not taught her well.
Although the Zhou family is spicy and refreshing, she is still a little restrained in front of the old lady, and she is really afraid of the old lady Lin in her heart.
Although she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Lin reprimanding her in public, making her lose face in front of her subordinates, Zhou did not dare to refute, obediently bowed her head and admitted her mistake, and then pulled Lin Liu to retreat.
Second Mrs. Lin and Lin Liu retreated, and several concubines next to them also retreated, after all, nominally, they were all daughters of the Zhou family. Mrs. Lin accused Mrs. Lin of not teaching her daughter well, but she didn't say which daughter it was, and they didn't persuade the sixth sister in time, so they were not good sisters.
Only Lin Erniang was next to the old lady, silent, her narrow eyes were slightly upturned, and when she hooked her lips to look at people, there was a kind of mockery that seemed to be laughing but not laughing.
Although she is also a second-room concubine, she has been raised by the old lady since she was a child, but she was not raised by the Zhou family, so she does not need to be involved.
was pulled out of the flower hall by the Zhou family, Lin Liuniang was still playing tricks: "I don't want to go out, I want to see the appearance of Lin San's village woman, I want to ask her, why did she seize the ranking and let me postpone my teeth." โ
"Good boy, don't be angry." Although Zhou has a strong temperament, he loves his daughter very much, and he is reluctant to let her suffer the slightest grievance, "Mother is angry with you, be good!" โ
Lin Liu paused suddenly, and looked at Zhou with bright eyes.
"Shh Zhou glanced at him reassuringly, then turned around.
Lin Siniang and Lin Wuniang, who were following her, suddenly lowered their heads in unison, without saying a word, looking very obedient.
Zhou was satisfied with the interest of the two, only glanced at it, said nothing, and turned back to talk to Lin Liu.
Back in the courtyard of the second room, Lin Siniang and Lin Wuniang both went to Lin Wuniang's room and drove the maid out. Lin Siniang lay on Lin Wuniang's ear, her eyebrows were worried, and she asked in a low voice: "Mother won't be unfavorable to the third sister, right?" โ
"Don't worry." Lin Wuniang picked up the embroidery bandage and embroidered two stitches before saying, "Although my mother is impulsive and irritable, she is not a fool, she will not do this matter of hurting the future concubine, at most she will use some small means." โ
Hearing this, Lin Siniang breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. Although she is one year older than Lin Wuniang, her face looks smaller, with a round head, round face and round eyes, all round, as simple and cute as a small animal.
"You're just fooling around." Lin Wuniang glanced at her and said meaningfully, "Look at it, this third sister is not an ordinary person." โ
Speaking of this, Lin Wuniang suddenly thought that Lin Siniang was thirteen years old, and she was still as ignorant as a child. She has been protecting her all these years and cultivating such a simple and kind character as her.
Now it's time for her to grow up.
However, Lin Wuniang didn't like to let Lin Siniang learn from her mother-in-law Zhou's ruthless methods, nor did she like the second sister's smart exposure, and she was unforgiving. Thinking about it, only this third sister is suitable.
has a high status, and can be favored by Princess Qin, there must be something extraordinary.
"Do you know how your grandmother is going to make Lin Liu angry?" Lin Wuniang suddenly came over and said mysteriously.
Her voice was very low, pretending to be suspenseful, trying to attract Lin Siniang's interest.
It's a pity that Lin Siniang's brain circuit is different from her, what she cares about is: "If you want to be called the sixth sister, how can you be inconsistent between what you look and what you are, and what you are before and after you is inconsistent." "Lin Siniang is a primary school scholar and admits death.
Lin Wuniang rolled her eyes at the sky, ignored such a boring trivial matter, and continued: "Two days ago, I saw Mother Xu in the red silk and sewing room next to my mother muttering quietly. โ
Lin Siniang blinked, and somewhat understood what Lin Wuniang meant: "You mean, mother and Mother Xu made a stumbling block for the third sister?" โ
"It should be."
"But what stumbling block can the needlework room make?" Lin Siniang was puzzled again.
Lin Wuniang rolled her eyes again, and said in her heart that her half-sister is really innocent enough, "Why can't you stumble?" The sewing room can make more trips. โ
She wanted Lin Siniang to understand the evil methods of the inner house, so she said more, "For example, a few needles fell in Lin San's bedding, or a few stitches were missing on her clothes, so that she would make a fool of herself in front of others, and even more malicious, put sharp things in the square mattress where she was kneeling......"
Before Lin Wuniang finished speaking, Lin Siniang covered her mouth and exclaimed: "God, this is too bad, isn't she afraid that the third sister will find out, and her grandmother will be angry, and then pursue it?" โ
"Fool!" Lin Wuniang was already desperate for Lin Siniang's IQ, "Mother is my grandmother's daughter-in-law, what is the third sister, just the daughter of the concubine, you, you are really stupid, and you can't tell the difference between distant and close relatives." Let me tell you, as long as the mother doesn't make a big fuss and doesn't have an accident, this kind of small fight, even if the third sister is indomitable and pursued, the final result will only be to take it lightly. โ
"And." Lin Wuniang rolled her eyes, "If the third sister is smart enough, she won't make a big deal out of it, even if she really can't swallow this breath and make trouble with her grandmother, the result is just to bring shame on herself." โ
A person has to recognize his own identity and go to other people's mothers to complain about other people's daughters-in-law, and a fool will do this kind of thing.
Lin Siniang was deeply sad, and she couldn't imagine that people's hearts could be so bad as this.
She was so uncomfortable that she took Larin Wuniang's hand, and her voice was choked: "Fifth sister, you say, you said that if you were in the position of the third sister and faced with your mother's means, what would you do?" โ
"Me?" Lin Wuniang thought for a while, and said slowly: "I will probably endure it, in fact, there is no need to make extraneous branches at this time, in a few months, the third sister will be married." At that time, not to mention the mother, even the grandmother can't climb high, that is the princess of King Qin. โ
"The third sister's life is really good." Lin Siniang sighed, "I don't know what will happen to us in the future?" โ
"It's definitely better than Lin Liu." Lin Wuniang was categorical, and when she caught a glimpse of Lin Siniang's puzzled appearance, she sneered coldly, "As far as she is disgusted, marrying a saint is also a cold palace." โ
"No nonsense." Lin Siniang reprimanded Lin Wuniang.
Lin Wuniang smiled and didn't care.
โโ
After four hours of wandering, Lin Long finally rushed to Lin's house before eating.
Mrs. Lin led the crowd to wait for Lin Long in the flower hall, from the beginning of the day to the end of the sun, waiting exhausted. Now I don't have the heart to see Lin Long, and the same is true for everyone else, and the love is so calm that I don't see half a wave.
The endless wait drained all their enthusiasm.
Entering Mrs. Lin's courtyard, Lin Long, under the guidance of the maid of the Lin family, came to the side hall, changed into clean soft shoes, and walked to the flower hall.
The people waiting in the flower hall, although their faces were calm, their hearts were full of curiosity.
They were going to be curious to death about Lin Long, the princess of Princess Qin, and the maids and servants were all staring at the door.
I don't know how the third lady was born and how her temperament is?
It should be born well, after all, she is the daughter of the Lin family, but what about her temperament? There is no need to report hope, a woman from a small place, where has she seen anything in the world, and she is also raised by a concubine, her vision and mind must be inferior.
But the three ladies are lucky. This is the unanimous idea of all the Lin family, born in a poor country, can also be found by nobles, and was hired as the prince's concubine, what shit luck this is.
The maid led Lin Long to the door of the flower hall and reported inside: "Old lady, the third lady has arrived." โ
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room suddenly turned their eyes to the door.
Qi Niang was young, and looked at the eldest mother with a delicate little face: "Is the third sister here?" I want to see the third sister. โ
Old Madam Lin looked at Qi Niang with a smile, "Your third sister is at the door, you go and bring her in." โ
"Okay." The little Lin Qi Niang immediately got up and ran to the door, "Third sister, Qi Niang is here to pick you up." โ
Out of the flower hall, turning around, Lin Qiniang saw Lin Long.
"Hmm!" Lin Qiniang's eyes widened, although she was young, she already knew aesthetics, she glared at Lin Long and said in surprise, "Is the third sister a fairy?" โ
"Is the seventh sister a little fairy?" Lin Long leaned down, and a pair of phoenix eyes bent into a crescent moon.
A person like her, when she is noble, is like the bright moon in the sky, awe-inspiring and unattainable. But if it is soft, a smile and a smile are like a spring breeze, which makes people unconsciously feel close.
When the little Lin Qiniang saw Lin Long for the first time, she was still a little cautious and didn't dare to approach, but Lin Long just smiled, and she instantly fell in love with this sister who smiled kindly and beautifully, her small and soft body snuggled into Lin Long's arms, and her tone was coquettish: "The third sister laughs at me." โ
Rubbing in Lin Long's arms, Lin Qiniang hadn't forgotten her business, took Lin Long's hand and walked into the flower hall, and said excitedly: "Grandmother, grandmother, Qi Niang brought the fairy sister back." โ
As soon as her voice fell, everyone saw Lin Long's appearance clearly, and their hearts were shocked.
Lin Erniang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Lin, had slightly dark eyes, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, and she said in her heart, she really came to a fairy sister.
Lin Long wanted to say goodbye to Mrs. Lin, but as soon as his knees were bent down, he was pulled up by Mrs. Lin's hand, held him in her arms, and said in her mouth: "My son, my son, I can be regarded as seeing it, I have really wronged you this way." โ
As she spoke, she couldn't help herself, and her eyes turned red, as if Lin Long was really her granddaughter who she hadn't seen for many years.
"There is a grandmother who is worried, Sanniang is not aggrieved, I just look forward to the drive being faster, faster, so that Sanniang can meet her grandmother as soon as possible and be happy under your knees." After saying a few words, Lin Long spoke earnestly, and his feelings were sincere and moving, which was no worse than that of Mrs. Lin.
Everyone is an acting school.
The corners of Lilac's eyes twitched, and she said in her heart, her lady is really omnipotent, playing all kinds of roles, all at her fingertips.
can be cold, cute, gentle, and arrogant, she only feels that she knows too little about the lady and is too incompetent.
Mrs. Lin and Lin Long both had red circles under their eyes, and others didn't dare not be red, and after a while, the master in the house connected the subordinates with red eye circles, and those who didn't know the inside story suddenly saw it, and thought it was crying.
"Come, sit down next to Grandmother." Old Madam Lin took Lin Long's hand.
Soon a maid added a mattress next to Mrs. Lin, Lin Long's eyes swept over the mattress, his expression remained unchanged, and when he sat down, his right hand stroked the mattress and shattered the sharp stones with internal force.
This is the calmness of the master, people rack their brains frequently, and the master only waved his hand lightly, and he leveled an obstacle.
After sitting down, Lin Long raised his head and observed Old Madam Lin for a while, and quickly dispelled the suspicions in his heart.
In his previous life, he was not qualified to contact Lin Long with the identity of Mrs. Lin, but with the words of outsiders and the memories of Mrs. Lin in Father Lin's mouth. Lin Long judged that this old lady Lin should be a wise and knowledgeable old man.
This kind of trick that can't be put on the table can't be done.
I think it must be a prank by some sister who doesn't like her.
After sitting down, Mrs. Lin introduced the rest of the Lin family to Lin Long, and Lin Long greeted them one by one, with a thoughtful manner, elegant posture, and a smile on the corner of her mouth.
The full of everyone's beautiful fan, a qiฤ table xiร n is just right, so perfect that people can't find a little mistake.
After a greeting ceremony, Mrs. Lin was considerate of Lin Long's tiredness on the road, so she asked the maid to take her down to rest.
After Lin Long left, the others also dispersed, and only Mrs. Lin's Qu remained at the old lady's place.
Everyone left, and Mrs. Lin didn't kneel anymore, straightened her legs, and let the maid hammer lightly. When you are older, your legs and feet are stiff, and it will be uncomfortable to sit on your knees for a long time.
"What do you think?"
Old Madam Lin didn't have a clue to ask, but Qu understood what she was asking, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Okay, too good." โ
"What do you want to do?" Old Madam Lin asked again.
This time, Qu Shi thought for a longer time, and his tone was slightly hesitant: "You can't judge anything when you meet once, and even if Sanniang is smart, she is younger and less experienced, there is still a way." โ
Old Madam Lin nodded, agreeing with Qu's words. She has lived to this age, what kind of person has never been seen, no matter how fine a person is, he has weaknesses, he is not afraid of her fine, he is afraid that she is not fine.
In fact, sometimes, smart people are better than stupid people.
Because she knows what is good for herself, and what is in the other person's hands.
