Chapter 38: The Birthday Banquet (4)
The main hall is arranged very festively, there are several tables and chairs on both sides of the main seat facing the door, which is the position where the ladies of each family accompany the old lady to eat, and the lower sides of the head are correspondingly placed with lower tables and chairs, which are for the use of young masters and young ladies.
Lin suddenly walked into the hall, according to the arrangement of young men and women, everyone just sat down, and the ladies walked in with the old lady in their arms.
Today's birthday banquet is the old lady's ancient year, she deliberately wore a red python robe with gold silk trim, and a pair of golden phoenix hairpins were inserted in her temples, which looked graceful and luxurious.
The juniors stood up and saluted one after another, and the Qin family smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and after the eldest lady asked the old lady, they prepared to start the banquet. After a while, the maids dressed in uniform came to the table one after another with the staple food, during which the lady of the Ministry of Rites, Xue Shi, smiled: "Old lady, why don't you see the second lady on such an occasion?" ”
The second lady Gu is sleek and flexible, and has some friendship with almost every lady, and it is not strange to ask at this time, the old lady who was originally smiling said with a lighter expression: "I was infected with the wind cold a few days ago, and my body has not yet been raised, so I won't let her worry about it." ”
Xue Shi nodded, feeling puzzled, and looked at the eldest lady who was greeting the ladies without a trace, and faintly felt that things were not as simple as the old lady said.
The ladies sitting in the hall are all masters who see the wind and steer the rudder, and they treat the eldest lady a little kindly, Lin suddenly sat at the bottom of the old lady, and saw the change in the direction of the wind without a trace, and was happy for her mother from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't expect that after a while, someone began to beat her idea.
The lady of the Dingguo Mansion, Yang, glanced at Lin and said, "Suddenly now that she looks more and more watery, I don't know which kid is so blessed to marry our Suddenly Ran." "Although this Yang family and the second lady are cousins, the relationship is quite deep, and now the Gu family is locked up in Zhu'an Yuan by the old lady on the grounds of ill health, and I am afraid that I am here to seek justice this time.
The old lady still smiled faintly: "Suddenly she is still too young, I still want to keep her for a few years, but Zixuan has passed the age of Jixuan, and the family affairs can be opened." ”
"Oh? Zixuan has a person to talk to? Yang pretended to be unintentional and asked.
When Lin suddenly heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Zixuan, and sure enough, he saw that she was looking at Tang Zhiqin who was sitting in the distance with anticipation, and her little face turned red.
Unexpectedly, the old lady laughed: "The little daughter's thoughts, where does my wife understand, naturally it depends on her meaning?" This sentence is obviously a refutation of Yang's sentence that there is a person to discuss with relatives, everyone sitting in the hall is a human spirit, and when they see the old lady's reply, they all have their own guesses, and the gaze on Lin Zixuan on her face is not as enthusiastic as just now.
At this time, Lin Zixuan saw that she had lost her face in front of everyone and the person she liked, and remembered that the Gu family wanted to hold a birthday banquet for the old lady, but she rejected it with words, and cast her gaze at Lin Xuanran with a little resentment.
Lin Yuran, who was talking to Lin Ruyi, noticed Lin Zixuan's gaze, hooked her lips, and smiled disapprovingly.
At this moment, Green Willow quietly walked to her side and whispered, "Miss is not good, the young master is gone?" ”
"What's going on?" Lin suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice.
"The slave maid just went to the lotus garden to ask, and the mother-in-law there said that the young master had already left first."
Because many elders were present, Lin suddenly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said to Luliu: "Don't be quiet, today is the old lady's birthday banquet, you go to another place to look for it, I'll come over soon later." ”
Midori nodded and left.
"What did my sister say, why was she so quiet and refused to let us hear it?" A slanted voice interjected, Lin suddenly looked at it coldly, and Lin Xian'er said with a mocking smile.
Lin Ran smiled slightly, and said with a hint of apologetic smile on his face: "Just now, the maid came to report that the gift made by my grandson fell in the courtyard, I have to go back and get it quickly?" ”
"Hmph, the third sister is so insincere, she even forgot her grandmother's birthday gift." Lin Xian'er mocked lukewarmly, Lin suddenly didn't argue with her if she had something in her heart, she raised her head and met the warm eyes of the eldest lady, and her mother quietly said a few words to the old lady, and the old lady nodded and said: "Negligence is inevitable, just have this filial piety, go ahead!" ”
"Thank you, grandmother!" Lin suddenly blessed the elders, walked to a place that everyone couldn't see, and then ran all the way away.
When Lin suddenly ran to the lotus garden panting, he saw Lin Xiaoran's personal maid beside him, with red eyebrows, kneeling on the ground, crying with a sad face: "Third Miss, the slave maid lost the third young master." ”
"Didn't you let you follow the young master well? Explain what the hell is going on? Lin suddenly calmed down his anger and asked sharply.
Hongmei knelt down and said: "At first, the young master had finished painting and was ready to go out, but unexpectedly, the son of Qian Shilang came to him, and when the slave maid came with tea, the young master did not know where to go, and there was only this on the ground." She shuddered, and pulled out a shredded piece of drawing paper.
This is a picture of a thousand cranes drawn by Xiao Ran, Lin Ran's pupils suddenly contracted, it was him, it must be that Qian Shilang, he must have torn up Xiao Ran's painting.
Thinking of this, Lin suddenly rushed out desperately, and inadvertently bumped into someone, she didn't have time to say sorry and was about to continue to rush forward, but was stopped.
"Are you annoyed?" Lin suddenly raised her head anxiously, and her amber eyes crashed into her eyes, it was Gao Lian, her face was a little colder, "I don't have time to entertain you now, I'm missing." ”
On the other side, Lu Liu hurriedly ran over and said in a panic: "Miss, I've searched everywhere, and there is no one from the young master." ”
In a huge courtyard, people can't disappear out of thin air, she suppressed the sense of foreboding in her heart, and said: "Find more people to find it, remember, don't alarm the ladies in the main hall." Midori nodded and ran away.
Lin was also about to turn around and leave, but Gao Lian stopped her, and there was no joy or anger on her face: "I can help you." ”
"No, I don't." Lin Ran said coldly, thinking of the lost gold, she couldn't give this person a good look.
Gao Lian still grabbed her, which made Lin suddenly angry and yelled at him: "What the hell do you want to do, don't delay saving my brother." ”
"Calm down!" Gao Lian looked at her emotional appearance, and finally couldn't help but speak, just now sitting in the main hall, he noticed her strangeness, so he quietly followed her here, but he didn't expect her brother to be gone.
"How do you calm me down, have you ever lost a loved one?" Lin suddenly lost her patience, took off her weak disguise, and asked mockingly, "If you hadn't deducted so much money from me, I wouldn't have let my mother and younger brother stay in this ghost place?" Won't they be scared? Isn't it because of me, my brother, that I'm threatened? Hmph, how can you high-ranking princes understand the days when you don't have enough food and clothing? ”
Lin Ranran's eyes were full of ridicule in his eyes, which was extremely dazzling, he didn't know that such a beautiful woman would have such a fangs and claws, maybe he gradually understood her mood at that time.
