Chapter 43: Self-inflicted affection
As soon as Lin Long got up, before his hair was combed, Mama Lu stood at the door holding a bowl of soup.
"It's rare." Lilac muttered in a low voice, and there was no sarcasm in her words, "I've been on the road for half a month, but it's the first time I've seen her come to serve." ”
"She's a sensitive." Lin Long was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, put the wooden comb on the table, turned to Lilac and said, "Let her in." ”
Since Lin Dalang misunderstood Lin Long, Mama Lu changed her attitude and began to be attentive to Lin Long.
First, because of guilt in her heart, Lin Long was right for her, but she misunderstood that others hurt her; Second, I was scared in my heart. It didn't matter if she misunderstood Lin Long, but she abducted Lin Dalang to misunderstand Lin Long, which made outsiders see the joke and alienated Lin Dalang from her.
If this matter is transmitted back to the old lady's ears, she will not have good fruit to eat.
On that day, only Lin Long's master and servant, Lin Dalang and Lang Zhong were there, Lang Zhong was not from Jingshi, and he couldn't talk to the old lady. And such a humiliating thing, Lin Dalang himself will definitely not spread it.
Now the crux of the problem is Lin Long, as long as she doesn't say it, no one knows.
On this trip, she not only failed to complete the old lady's explanation, but also caused such a disaster.
Tell Mama Lu how not to be anxious.
After thinking about it, she could only please Lin Long and let her hide the matter.
Entering the room, Mama Lu had a three-point smile on her face.
She has always kept a straight face, pretending to be strict, and this is the first time she has seen her smiling.
Putting down the soup bowl, Mama Lu said diligently: "Sanniang, this is the yam pork rib soup stewed by the old slave, it started to stew before dawn, and it has been stewed for more than an hour, you can taste it." ”
Lin Long picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup, the temperature of the soup was just right, it was obvious that Mama Lu was attentive, and she was sent over until it was at the right temperature.
She tasted it, and the soup was rich, smooth and delicious.
"Not bad." Lin Long nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Mama Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and then skillfully squeezed Lilac away, robbed her of her work, and served Lin Long in person.
After serving in the near future and contacting for a long time, Mama Lu realized that the third lady was really a wonderful person.
Not to mention the appearance of the flowers, the talent is also first-class, and the temperament is gentle, a little cold, beautiful demeanor, and gentle manners, like the bright moon in the sky.
Noble and a little distant.
Mama Lu is a little afraid to climb high.
After serving for a long time, Mama Lu became more and more cautious and served more and more carefully, and she really treated Lin Long as her master.
The convoy traveled to the outskirts of Beijing, resting at noon, Lin Long looked at the sky, felt the air, and said to Lilac: "It will rain in a while, and I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Beijing today." ”
Hearing Lin Long say that it was going to rain, Lilac looked up at the clear sky, and didn't doubt her words at all, "Lady, it's better for the maid to go and talk to the eldest young gentleman, and find a place to shelter from the rain first." ”
"Not necessarily." Lin Long shook his head, "There are many other villages near the suburbs of Beijing, and when the rain comes, just find a random one to spend the night." ”
Lin Dalang is not a lilac, and he unconditionally believes in Lin Long, on such a sunny day, it is impossible for him to listen to Lin Long and delay the trip. And Lin Long was not willing to waste his lips and tongue explaining on trivial matters.
Mama Lu on the side listened to it and poked her head curiously: "Third lady, this day is so good, why is it raining?" ”
Lin Long smiled, he didn't want to explain, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Can she say that she has a keen sense and feels the humidity of the air increase, and it is strange that everyone does not think of her as a madman.
Back in the carriage, Mama Lu looked at the sky without giving up, and decided that Lin Long was talking nonsense, so she didn't take it seriously. Close the car door and lie down to sleep.
In the past two days, she put aside her prejudices and took Lin Long's soothing soup, and her sleep slowly recovered, and her spirit improved a lot. The sound of horses' hooves could not disturb her during the day.
I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly I heard the crackling sound outside, and the movement of people turning on their backs.
Mama Lu was shocked, sat up suddenly, and looked at the little girl beside her: "What's wrong?" ”
The little girl was looking out of the car window, and when she heard the words, she gave up a piece of land to Mama Lu: "Mama, it's raining outside, it's raining so much, and the eldest young gentleman is about to go to the Zhuangzi in front of him to borrow land from the master's house to avoid the rain." ”
What the little girl said later, Mama Lu didn't take it to heart, and there was only one thought in her mind, it rained, it rained, it really rained.
She suddenly shook, slammed into the window, looked at the raindrops the size of beans outside, and burst into her mind the picture of the conversation between the three ladies and the master and servant at noon. The heart seemed to be scratched by something, tight and terrifying.
How so? Could it be that the three ladies are immortals and can predict rain clouds.
Mama Lu's body fell limply and sat down, and she shivered and recalled the journey.
At first, she wanted to hold the third lady with malicious intentions, but there was a strange sound in the middle of the night, which disturbed her spirits and made her have no time to find trouble with the third lady. Later, she respected and sincerely served the third lady, and the strange voice disappeared, and even her health began to improve.
Thinking of this, Mama Lu clenched her veil tightly, her eyes were shocked and frightened.
Could it be that the three ladies are really blessed by the gods?
Otherwise, with her a woman in a small place, no matter how well she was born, no one knew how she was suddenly caught by Princess Qin.
Immediately after that, she thought of the daughter of the noble life in Zhao Xianshi's mouth.
This matter has been spread all over the capital, and the reason why Princess Qin went north is to find the daughter of the noble fortune calculated by Zhao Xianshi.
The more Mama Lu thought about it, the more sure she was that the third lady must be a beloved person from God, otherwise these bizarre things would not be explained at all.
――
Lin Dalang had reached an agreement with the owner of the other village, and Lilac held an umbrella to help Lin Long get out of the car.
In the flower hall, two women were standing at the door and watching.
The woman in pink who was one step behind, she was born with a beautiful appearance, but her expression was not very good, with a little vigilance: "Sister, why did you agree to let them in, my brother-in-law is not here, what if it is a wicked person?" ”
The woman in front of her, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, had a long face, and wore her hair in a bun, and her face was gentle.
Hearing this, she reluctantly interrupted the pink-clothed woman's words: "The rain is so heavy, there is only one other village in our family within a radius of ten miles around here, how can we turn people away." I heard Mama Hao say that there were many female dependents in the convoy, and if I refused to get caught in the rain and cold, I would be uneasy. ”
The woman in pink glanced at the woman, looking helpless and dependent: "Sister is kind." ”
After a while, a line of female dependents appeared in front of him.
The woman hurriedly instructed the maid-in-law: "Quickly hold up the umbrella and go over to greet you." ”
Lin Long was protected by Lilac Lin Shuo and Mama Lu in the middle, except for wet shoes, the side was clean and clean, and there was no rain at all.
When I arrived at the flower hall, I greeted the host's house first, and hurriedly went to the side room to change my shoes.
In the side room, Lilac glanced at Mama Lu several times, she didn't care about it outside at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she feels strange.
Mama Lu turned out to be like her and Lin Shuo, and protected her mother tightly.
When did this old guy turn sex?
Mama Lu changed her clothes first, walked to Lin Long's side, and whispered about the situation of the master's family: "This family's surname is Li, and it is a wealthy family in nearby Jing County. The wife in charge is Hu, and she looks like a kind-hearted person, but the woman in pink is a little strange. ”
"What's this strange method?" Lilac is also curious.
Although she is smart, she is young in the end, and she is not as good as Mama Lu, and her eyes are old and spicy.
Mama Lu slowly explained: "That woman looks like she is in her early 20s, and she is still combing her girl's hair in a bun, and she looks at the third lady with a hostile and defensive look." There is another point, the old slave also finds it strange. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Her appearance, the old slave felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. And judging by her appearance and figure, she behaves in a style, very much like the personal maid next to the housewife of a rich and noble family and the little lady. Mama Lu frowned, "But where have I seen it, the old slave can't remember." ”
Here, Mama Lu is struggling with her nerves, but Peng Le, the woman in pink over there, is like a frightened bird.
I didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this remote village, so far away from Jingshi.
She recognized Mama Lu.
Peng Le was originally a first-class maid beside the young lady of An Changbo Mansion, because the young lady was pregnant, she wanted to open her face to Shaolangjun. Peng Le didn't want to be a concubine, but he couldn't go against the master's will.
Unexpectedly, a few days before the official opening of her face, she accidentally got into trouble and was drowned by the master's family.
I don't know if it's her life, or if she's blessed by the gods, she wrapped herself in a broken mat and threw it into a mass grave and woke up magically.
After that, it was an adventure, and she met the kind-hearted Hu Shi, who was rescued by her and recognized as a righteous sister.
Peng Le is the girl next to the housewife of a big family, her brains and methods are very comparable, and she is very beautiful, helping the Hu family clean up a lot of disobedient concubines and helping the Hu family firmly stabilize Li Langjun's heart.
She is also a grateful person, and after some life and death, she can think about it, and she plans not to marry for life, and has always protected the Hu family.
Lin Long finished cleaning up here and went to the flower hall to give the Hu family a salute.
Hu was soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and when he saw that everyone was drenched in the rain, he specially ordered his subordinates to boil a lot of ginger soup.
When Lin Long came out, the hot ginger soup had just been boiled.
Hu Shi smiled and looked at Lin Long a few times, his eyes flashed with amazement, and he exclaimed: "I have really lived for many years, and I have never seen such a gorgeous woman as a lady, as if the bright moon is hanging high, and the pearl and jade are on the side, I feel that I am filthy."
Peng Le also looked at Lin Long secretly, his eyes darkened, and he thought about it in his heart. She has almost a lot of treasures for the big families in Beijing, and she has only heard that there are eldest ladies in the Lin Mansion, five ladies, and six ladies, and she has never heard of this third lady.
Is it a concubine?
Seeing Lin Long born so beautiful, Peng Le felt a little contempt in his heart.
The beautiful concubine was picked up by the family in the Jasper years, and there is no need to guess, she must be sent to the mansion of the powerful as a concubine by the head of the family.
Thinking like this, Peng Le treated Lin Long a little more contemptuously, and interrupted the conversation between Hu and Lin Long several times. and tested Mama Lu with words, and after finding that she didn't recognize herself, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu didn't understand why Peng Le, who had always been sensible and polite, was so strange today, but she had always been empathetic and liked to think about everything from the perspective of others.
guessed that Peng Le must be worried about her, and she was more wary of Lin Niangzi and her party.
It was Mama Lu, who was very annoyed when she saw that Peng Le was disrespectful to Lin Long.
But after all, they were guests, and it was not easy to trouble the master's family, so they turned to Lin Long and said, "The slave maid saw that the third lady had a bad complexion, but she was a little tired?" ”
Hu Shi heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and continued: "It's not the little woman, I didn't see that the lady was unwell, and someone came-" She looked at the subordinate beside her, "Take advantage of the light rain, quickly take the lady to the guest room to rest." ”
"There's Mrs. Law." Lin Long got up and returned the salute.
When she arrived at the guest room, Mama Lu playfully left the space to Lin Long's master and servant, and leaned back by herself.
While pouring tea for Lin Long, Lilac recalled that Mama Lu was maintaining her mother in the flower hall before, and couldn't help but speak: "It's still Mama Lu who is calm and knowledgeable, and found a good excuse to avoid that Peng Niangzi, but the maid was slow to react at the time, but I didn't expect it." ”
Speaking of this, Lilac couldn't help but feel annoyed and hated herself for turning her brain slowly. She used to laugh at Mama Lu, but now it seems that she is far behind Mama Lu.
Lin Long took a sip of tea, didn't care much about Lilac's self-blame, and said lightly: "You are still young, and the population of the Lin Mansion in Qi County is simple, it is normal to not know how to avoid these twists and turns, just practice for a few more years." ”
Lilac nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked at Lin Long, a little puzzled: "Lady, why did you say that Mama Lu suddenly changed her personality, looking at her like that, she seems to be a little sincere to you." ”
"Because she's smart and knows how to follow the trend."
Lilac didn't understand, and Lin Shuo also listened with his ears.
Lin Long looked down at the gently swaying water waves in the teacup, and suddenly asked, "At first, Mama Lu was hostile to me, if it were you, what would you do?" ”
"Of course it's a counterattack, no matter how faceless she is, she's just a slave." Lilac likes to slap her face, and if she has a vengeance, she will take revenge on the spot.
Speaking of this, Lilac remembered Mama Lu's maintenance of the lady just now, and her heart became entangled, "Actually, Mama Lu is not too bad, she just doesn't understand the lady." ”
"That's right." Lin Long suddenly smiled, and a proud gleam flashed in his bright eyes, "She doesn't understand you, you just let her understand, whether it's a tiger or a cat, smart people will find out." ”
Hearing this, Lilac suddenly realized: "The maid understands, at first, Mama Lu thought that the lady was just a little lady from a small place, and she was not sensible and easy to handle." Later, when she saw that the lady was smart and polite, and her heart was as clear as a mirror, she didn't dare. ”
Lilac is very smart, can understand a little, and will draw inferences: "In fact, if you want to truly conquer the other party, the most important thing is to have your own ability." Because the lady has the ability, Mama Lu is both respectful and awe-inspiring. ”
Speaking of this, Lilac paused and continued: "If it is like what the servant said before, fight back on the spot and fight against a slave and maid." Not only does it have * shares, but it lowers its own level and makes people see jokes, but it will also offend Mama Lu very much, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of fearless troubles along the way. ”
Lin Long stroked the tea bowl, nodded, and taught Lilac: "Soldier to soldier, general to general, not everyone is worthy of being our opponent, Mama Lu is just a slave, she can't be subdued, so she will be sent aside and abandoned, it's not worth it to hurt your mind for such a trivial matter." ”
Lilac's eyes lit up, as if she understood something, she looked at Lin Long adoringly, her mouth was like smeared with honey, "The lady is so powerful." ”
"Flim Flam." Lin Long snorted.
Lin Shuo was also unwilling to be lonely, and said twice: "The lady is the most powerful." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
――
Fengshan Bezhuang.
Xiao Yan was looking at the sky in Beizhuang, his good-looking brows frowned slightly, staring at the continuous rain curtain, as if he was puzzled, why did it suddenly rain in a good manner.
Since the last time Hua Niang polluted his house and insulted his eyes, Xiao Yan rebuilt Houde Hall and went to live in another village for a while.
The maid didn't bring it, and now he was disgusted when he saw a woman, and he didn't even let the cold spring be close to him.
At this time, Xiao Yiqing entered the door with a body of wind and rain and brought him a piece of news.
"Master, the future princess has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing and is sheltering from the rain, it seems that she will be able to go to Beijing tomorrow morning."
Xiao Yan leaned idly on the soft couch by the window, his posture was casual and careless, and when he heard Xiao Yiqing's words, he just raised his chin slightly, indicating that he heard it, and his eyes were not shocked.
However, Xiao Yiqing was a little talkative, and sighed to himself: "I didn't expect that Lin Niangzi, who I met in Qi County, would become the princess in the future, and the master and Lin Niangzi are really fateful, and it is estimated that it is the thread of Yue Lao." ”
The thread drawn by the old moon?
Xiao Yan really wanted to say twice, that woman had been planning for a long time.
How can there be a woman with such deep scheming and such thick skin, and after seeing him, she secretly promised to marry him.
Don't be ashamed!
He snorted and squinted at Xiao Yiqing, "Let you go and check Zhao Ji, how is the investigation?" ”
Xiao Yiqing was busy, and 1510 reported Zhao Ji's origin in detail-
