Spring is always easy to drizzle, and it is easy to meet good weather, and the city has gone out to enjoy the spring light. The three girls of the dealer invited Daiyu Qingyun, so the two of them dressed neatly on this day, took the carriage to the dealer first, and then went out of the city together.

There is a ten-mile slope outside the city, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery in spring.

Every spring, the peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees planted all over the hillside are all blooming, the mountains are very lively, there are green mountains lying in the distance, there are mulberry Mo fertile fields nearby, there is a Taoist temple not far away, and the incense is also prosperous. The dealer sent someone to arrive a little earlier, and found a good place to lay out things, and when the girls' carriage arrived, they could drink hot tea to quench their thirst and rest.

Lin Qingyun got out of the car and was greeted by a sea of pink and white flowers, and he didn't feel relaxed.

"It's true: fight for flowers and don't wait for leaves, and there is no way to embellish them." Daiyu couldn't help but think of the poems of her predecessors when she saw such a beautiful scenery, and walked to the bottom of a peach tree with Zijuan's hand, just a few pink and white peach blossoms blown down by the wind and stuck to the corners of her hair and clothes, and she was wearing a white silk skirt today, which was more and more lined with peach blossom red, white skirt, and then matched with a jade beauty, it was really a painting.

It was Lin Qingyun who praised with a smile: "The dynasty is looking forward to the immortals, and the peach blossoms are smiling in the spring breeze every day." Suddenly, when I heard that the fairy trail had arrived, the peach blossom people's faces were extremely red. ”

As soon as he finished reading, he closed his mouth suddenly, and inadvertently read the poem inscribed on the silk handkerchief.

That day, I suddenly saw a peach blossom on the table in front of the window pressing an inscribed silk handkerchief, I didn't care at first, but when I saw the poem on the handkerchief, I guessed a few points. The handwriting on the handkerchief is clear and elegant, but the edge of the pen is hidden between the edges, which is very skillful, and it is definitely not from the hand of a woman. The number of men who have intersections with him is really limited, even if she is not self-inflicted, she can't help but think of vain.

In the end, he is the prince of the emperor's entitlement, and he is the only concubine of the queen, how can he have no means.

She didn't think that Tu Yan sent peach blossoms and poems to convey love, and then tried the girls in the room, and after no one was abnormal, she understood what the other party meant. This thing never appears out of thin air, but the person who sent it seems to be invisible, or the other party has been hiding in the dark and watching her.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyun was inevitably disgusted, but he was suspicious of Tu Yanken's confession. If he doesn't say, who knows? What if you guessed it? said it, but it was easy to disgust her.

Now that the marriage between the two has not been officially decreed, Daiyu does not know, so Qingyun did not say anything about it.

"What does my sister think?" Daiyu called twice.

"Oh, nothing, it's just fascinated by the flowers." Lin Qingyun casually said a few perfunctory words, and walked with her to the girls of the banker's house.

When young girls go out for spring, in addition to appreciating □□, they are composing poems. It was bustling, and suddenly someone raised his voice and asked, "Whose carriage is this?" It's in the way, get out of the way! ”

A few people raised their eyes to look, and Zhuang Shiyu's maid Chunxing frowned and said, "Girl, it's our car." Our carriages are parked on the side of the road, and the road is so wide that it will not block the cars coming from behind. Who is sitting in that car, so domineering! ”

Lin Qingyun also saw it, indeed, although it is in the countryside, perhaps it is for the convenience of shipping every year in spring or after the fruits are ripe, the roads are renovated every year, and two cars can go side by side. As long as the new carriage in the back moves slowly, even if it doesn't move, it won't get in the way, but looking at the way they make trouble, I'm afraid they won't be happy.

Zhuang Shiyu said: "It's all out of the city, it's not good to make a fuss, since others say that our car is in the way, just move it, it's not a big deal." ”

Although Chun Xing was not happy, she still took the order to talk to the nursing home who escorted her.

As soon as the banker's carriage moved, there were originally many carriages that also moved, but Chunxing saw more clearly, there were still a few cars that had not moved, and the other party was not only annoyed, but also accompanied the smile and carefully miscared over. Chun Xing was even more annoyed when she inquired about which ones they were and knew the identities of the people in the car.

Chun Xing ran back and said angrily: "But I can really watch people get off the dishes, our car is blocked, why don't you say that the cars of Princess Yongjia, Lord Hui'an, Luo University's family, and Liu Shangshu's family will be moved?" ”

Lin Qingyun was slightly stunned when she heard the name of Princess Yongjia.

The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the middle palace and the eldest sister of Tu Yan's compatriots, ten years older than her, and has been married for thirteen or four years. The eldest princess married the eldest grandson of the head of the Zhongyi Mansion, the younger brother of the Empress Taishang, the uncle of the abolished prince, fifteen years ago, the entire Zhongyi Mansion had been robbed of the title with the prince's rebellion, and the adult males were all executed, leaving the women and children exiled to Lingnan. However, the emperor remembered the old love, only imprisoned the prince, and released it on the grounds that the eldest grandson of the Zhongyi Mansion had a marriage contract with the eldest princess who was only the county lord at the time, and personally gave the two to complete the marriage, but unfortunately the eldest horse injured the foundation in prison, and was worried about the family exiled in Lingnan, and died of illness within a few years. Fortunately, the eldest princess has a pair of children, and now the princess's eldest son is thirteen years old, and her daughter is also ten years old.

"Why are you still so hot-tempered, just at home, just cause less trouble outside." Although Zhuang Shiyu said so, he didn't really criticize him. Although Chunxing is a little anxious, it is rare to do things neatly and meticulously, and loyalty and diligence are also the first part, and it is a love that has grown up with a place since childhood, so she naturally treats it differently from the maid next to her.

Zhuang Shixiang asked curiously: "Chunxing, whose carriage is that?" ”

When Chun Xing saw this, she lowered her voice: "I inquired, and it was the car of the Zhao family in the left capital, and the car was the eldest girl in the Zhao family's room." ”

Daiyu nodded: "I have also heard of the Zhao family, Zhao Yushi has two sons, both rooms are men, Zhao Da girl is the only girl in three generations, and she has been smart since she was a child, her poetry and books are outstanding, and she is very loved by Zhao Yushi." The Zhao family has some dealings with the Rongguo Mansion, but I haven't met that Zhao girl. ”

Lin Qingyun noticed that several girls from the Zhuang family exchanged glances with each other, obviously knowing the Zhao family, but it was not necessarily a good reputation. Also, the official that Master Zhuang is now doing is the imperial envoy of Zuo Yudu, and Zhao Yushi is his direct subordinate Shangfeng, how can he not inquire about the personnel of the Zhao family.

Zhuang Shixiang couldn't hide her words, so she ran to Qingyun and Daiyu and whispered: "I only tell you this once, if you meet that Miss Zhao, remember to dodge, her eldest lady's temper is unbearable for ordinary people, as if everyone should revolve around her." ”

Daiyu frowned and said, "Isn't this Zhao girl a little arrogant?" She is the only girl in her family, and she must have been spoiled since she was a child. ”

"When Sister Qingyun didn't come, you were the only one in your family, why didn't Uncle Lin Shi spoil you, how could you not have raised those problems." Zhuang Shixiang disagreed very much, and was afraid that they would encounter a real loss, so she said: "You should know from what happened just now that she is not such a trouble-free person, but if her family background is not as good as hers, she doesn't pay attention to it, that is, her family background is higher than her, and she will also follow the opportunity to suppress others, many other girls don't like to associate with her, and her reputation outside is not good, otherwise she will not be nineteen years old and have not said goodbye." ”

"Nineteen?" Lin Qingyun was secretly surprised, and intuitively felt that there was something wrong here. You must know that the Zhao family's family background is not thin, and there is only one girl, that is, no matter how bad the girl's temperament is, for the sake of the Zhao family's family background, there must be many people who ask to marry, how can it be delayed until the age of nineteen?

"Don't listen to the nonsense of the fifth sister, how can we outsiders know about the affairs of the Zhao family, not to mention that such things about the length of the person will definitely cause trouble if it is spread out." Zhuang Shiyu stopped the topic and was about to propose to continue composing poems for fun, but saw a group of people walking over to this side, and the person at the head was the girl of the Zhao family they just talked about, Zhao Yunshuang!

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Zhuang Shiyu secretly gave Zhuang Shixiang a warning look, asking her to be more restrained in her words.

Because the fathers of the two families were colleagues and often moved around each other, the girls of the two families had met. Zhuang Shiyu took the lead to greet her: "Miss Zhao is also coming to Qingqing?" It can be seen that the spring is good today, and we all want to go together. ”

Zhao Yunshuang's facial features are bright, her complexion is white and greasy, and she is a well-deserved beauty. At the age of nineteen, he is in full bloom, wearing a scarlet dress, standing in the peach blossom forest, and can compete with the peach blossoms.

"These two are ......" Zhao Yunshuang's gaze fell on Lin Qingyun, and she just glanced at Lin Daiyu, making Lin Qingyun feel that the other party was coming at her.

"These are the two girls from Lord Lin's family, the older one is Lin Qingyun, the righteous daughter of Lord Lin, and the two years younger is Lin Daiyu, the girl born by Lord Lin." Zhuang Shiyu made an introduction, and also found that Zhao Yunshuang's eyes were not quite right.

"It turns out that this is the righteous daughter of the Lin family, it's really better to meet than to be famous, but that's it." Zhao Yunshuang raised her chin slightly, her face was undisguised arrogance, looking at Lin Qingyun as if she was looking at an object, implying picky disgust, as well as a trace of hidden deep jealousy and resentment.

Lin Qingyun hasn't done anything yet, Daiyu was annoyed first: "I often hear people praise the girl of the Zhao family for knowing poetry and etiquette, and she has never asked for advice in poetry and books, and she doesn't dare to say anything, but something else, it can be seen that it is a false rumor." It's really as Miss Zhao just said, 'It's better to meet than to be famous, but that's it's"! ”

"You're so bold!" Zhao Yunshuang's face changed and she habitually reprimanded.

Daiyu looked back with a smile and said, "Miss Zhao doesn't make sense of what she said, I don't know where I am bold?" Zeng Zi said: I am three times a day, and I am self-conscious. I don't dare to compare with it, but I am willing to learn from it, if Miss Zhao thinks that what I am doing is wrong, please point it out, and I will change it. ”

Zhao Yunshuang's face turned red when she was squeezed, and she wanted to fight as soon as her temper came up. Everyone present changed their faces, Lin Qingyun took Daiyu behind him, and shouted coldly: "You dare!" ”

In fact, Zhao Yunshuang's hand stopped when it was raised in mid-air, because she suddenly remembered that Lin Daiyu's father was a household secretary, a member of the first grade, and a person whose grandfather had repeatedly mentioned Jian Zai's heart, and their Zhao family could not afford to provoke them. If it weren't for Zhao Yunshuang's hesitation, Daiyu would have flashed fast, and the slap also fell on Lin Qingyun, who was protecting Daiyu.

How did Zhao Yunshuang see this Lin Qingyun, her heart was angry, not only did she refuse to stop, but fanned her more vigorously.

"Stop!" I don't know who shouted, but it was too late.

The speed of raising his hand to hit people is extremely fast, but no matter how fast the egret moves, he can't stop it, and his face is so frightened that his face turns white. However, the scene that everyone thought did not appear, and Zhao Yunshuang's falling hand was stopped.

Lin Qingyun grabbed the other party's wrist, the force in his hand was not stingy, and in the other party's surprise, he shook it away. Zhao Yunshuang was unexpected, and was skewed a few steps by the force, but it happened that the ground in the forest was uneven, and she stepped on the air with one foot, screaming and dragging the maid to the ground, and fell very wolf.

"Girl!" The maids of the Zhao family all changed their faces and went to help, but they were chaotic.

Lin Qingyun's face was full of anger, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but twist her face and snicker.

"Sister, are you alright? Are there any injuries? Daiyu didn't have the heart to watch the excitement, she asked urgently with a white face, and carefully checked her face, so frightened that tears came out.

"Sister Qingyun/Sister/Big Girl!" Everyone was frightened and rushed to catch up with concern.

Lin Qingyun saw that they were all asking nonsense around her, and they all looked frightened and angry, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, I'm not beaten." ”

"This Zhao Yunshuang is too much! He actually started beating people! Zhuang Shixiang has never seen such a girl, no worse than the shrews rumored outside, she was really shocked, angry and angry, she only felt that there was a fire in her chest, but there was nowhere to go.

Zhuang Shiyu obviously didn't expect it, and he didn't stop Zhuang Shixiang's words.

Lin Qingyun suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes, and happened to see a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman standing a few steps away, followed by a beautiful little girl. Lin Qingyun pushed aside everyone and walked over, and Ying Ying gave a salute: "Thank you for this lady's righteous words." ”

The woman smiled and said, "I didn't help anything, it was the girl who helped herself." The girl is very courageous, not afraid of power, not chaotic in the face of danger, and impressive. ”

Lin Qingyun chuckled and said, "Madame, where does Qingyun deserve it." At that time, it was just a momentary urgency, just to save myself, after all, it was really embarrassing to get a slap on the face, and it was not easy to go out in the future. ”

"You're honest."

Lin Qingyun smiled and said, "Thank you Madame again, I won't disturb Madame and Miss to enjoy the flowers and spring, and say goodbye." ”

When Lin Qingyun walked away, the woman led her daughter away.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Mother, is that the wife of my uncle?" I see that it is really different from the girls of today's families. ”

The woman smiled and said, "It's the difference that made your uncle choose." ”

The little girl also smiled: "I like it." ”

When Lin Qingyun returned, Zhao Yunshuang was no longer there, and she made such a fuss, not only did she not get cheap, but she got fishy, where was there still a face left, and immediately the flowers were not appreciated, and she went back to the city directly. There are girls and sons from all over the place who come to enjoy the spring outing, and the things here will spread all over the capital in less than a day, and Zhao Yunshuang's reputation will be even louder.

"Sister Qingyun, do you know Princess Yongjia?" Zhuang Shiyu asked suddenly.

Lin Qingyun was slightly stunned: "The one just now is the eldest princess?" ”

"It's her, don't you know?" Zhuang Shiyu saw that she didn't seem to be a fake, and she also realized: "It's because I think it's wrong, Princess Yongjia doesn't often socialize outside, and many people have never seen her, and I guessed it when I saw the county lord of Anle following her." ”

Lin Qingyun had guessed from the woman's speech and dress earlier that the other party's identity was extraordinary, but she didn't expect it to be the eldest princess. So he said: "The eldest princess just spoke up, I'll go and thank you." The eldest princess is such a noble person, I don't go out much on weekdays, so I don't have any friendship. ”

Zhuang Shiyu smiled: "This is a good thing." With the eldest princess and the county lord of Anle as witnesses, then Zhao Yunshuang can't reverse black and white and ruin your reputation, she will suffer the loss this time. also complained that she did it herself, but she really couldn't complain about others. Zhuang Shiyu sighed again: "I heard my mother say that Zhao Yunshuang was not such a disgusting and hateful character in the past, although she was arrogant in the past, but it was not too much, she was born well, she has a poetic talent, and her family background is also good, I don't know how many people like it." I have never seen Zhao Yunshuang like that, if it weren't for my mother talking about it herself, I really thought it was two people. ”

"Maybe something happened." There are many people who have changed their temperament due to great changes, but Lin Qingjun doesn't care too much about this matter, and Zhao Yunshuang is just a passerby to her.

At the beginning of April, Lin Qingjun finally turned over half of Lawrence's book list, and according to the content agreed by each other, she handed over the translation to Lawrence, and Lawrence made a note to provide her with three years of Western painting tools, paints and other materials free of charge.

This flipbook seems to be unique, and the remuneration is considerable to ordinary people, but for Lin Qingyun, who already has a book building with a good income, it is nothing, but it is better to change it to what he needs. This request was not a trivial matter for Lawrence, who had to make several trips back and forth to sea every year anyway, and brought things with him. Now Lawrence doesn't know Lin Qingyun's true identity, but he is not short of money and moves quite freely, she must be the noble daughter of a big family, and Lawrence wants to be more friendly.

As for the lack of demand now, it is waiting for the critical time, and Lawrence is very shrewd as a businessman.

Lin Qingyun gave out five copies, and now there is another one on the table that is halfway translated, and it is left open. When Daiyu came to talk to her, she saw it, picked it up and read a few pages, and was dizzy: "Sister is really amazing, I was dizzy just looking at it, and I really couldn't read a few sentences." ”

Daiyu also learned a little Western with her, although Daiyu is smart, but Lin Qingyun is not a good teacher, Daiyu from last winter to this spring, it is amazing to be able to read a few simple sentences.

"Look at what it does, you all know the story, it's just for foreigners. Take a look at this! Lin Qingyun pulled her to the easel, took off the cloth on it, and a one-foot-high oil painting appeared in front of her.

"Qingwen!" Daiyu recognized it at a glance, admiring the vividness of this painting, and on the other hand, she was puzzled: "My sister is hiding and not showing me these days, just painting her?" Why did my sister remember to draw Qingwen? ”

"What's this, I drew it when inspiration came. Didn't you just say that the Jia family sent someone to send something to ask for a gift in return? Just right, help me bring this painting to Qingwen. Although Lin Qingyun pitied Qingwen's fate, she was not pitiful to any woman in this world, and Qingwen was a slave of the Jia family, so she couldn't control it. What's more, Qingwen is now dead set on the Jia family, thinking that she has followed Baoyu all her life, even if someone really wants her to go, she will not will.

"Since my sister likes her, I will find an opportunity to talk to Baoyu, and when I come to our house again, I will take Qingwen with her, and my sister will drink Qingwen to talk. Although Qingwen has a hot temper, she has a spirituality that others can't match, I like her too, and the rest of the girls in Baoyu's house are the only ones who can be looked at. Daiyu said this very politely, of course, the girl in her cousin's house shouldn't talk nonsense, this is just in private.

Lin Qingyun laughed when she heard this, but she also remembered something: "Zijuan follows you, so her deed can be in your hands?" ”

Daiyu and Zijuan were both stunned, and Daiyu said thoughtfully: "My sister reminded me that I have to ask for Zijuan's deed." Zijuan has served for several years, and I can't do my best, and I can't leave her. ”

Then they will come as a family, so that they will not be separated. It's just that you have to say it well, don't let Mrs. Jia worry too much. Lin Qingyun reminded.

Daiyu nodded, holding the painting and preparing to leave.

Just as a little girl outside came in, she shouted: "Girl, big girl, I just heard the eldest lady in the kitchen say that the girl of the Zhao Yushi family is married today, but the next one is an inconspicuous little official of the Hanlin Academy, surnamed Zhang, as if his ancestral home is Jinling." ”

Because of the events of the day of the trip, everyone in the house knew about the Zhao family, and Lin Ruhai said it in person by Qingyun. It's not that he complained about grievances, but just told Lin Ruhai briefly and let Lin Ruhai know, in case the Zhao family made trouble for Lin Ruhai. The subordinates naturally also look at their own young lady, and usually pay more attention to the affairs of the Zhao family, and now they will come to spread the news as soon as they get the news.

Daiyu looked back at Lin Qingyun worriedly, but saw her thoughtfully: "Sister? ”

Lin Qingyun smiled: "It must be the Zhang family." It's all in the past, and I'm just relieved to finally understand where Miss Zhao's hostility towards me comes from. ”

Daiyu is not as optimistic as her: "I don't think it's so easy to pass." My sister's marriage with the Zhang family was broken early, and it stands to reason that my sister has nothing to do with the Zhang family, so why is Miss Zhao still looking for trouble with her sister after many months? I guess, I'm just afraid that the Zhang family will say something, or Miss Zhao will listen to the words of others, so she will be hostile to her sister. ”

"What's the use, I don't usually meet her together." Lin Qingyun didn't feel that things were strict, and urged her to prepare a return gift, and thought about finding an opportunity to tell her about the matter.

At this time, Jia Yu, who went to Fireworks Lane to drink a little wine, met a generous young master, and the two chatted casually, they were like-minded, and they became confidants after a few times, and they made an appointment to have fun together.

After knowing each other for a long time, Jia Yu occasionally complained a few words in the house, even if the words were vague and limited, it was enough to make people guess constantly. This young master is the person arranged by Sun He, who deliberately approached Jia Yu, and now as soon as he is happy, he will give him advice according to the plan.

Jia Yuyuan just felt that this person was mysterious, and he always refused to say where his hometown was or who his parents were, but he knew everything about the families in Beijing, so he had the heart to make friends. Now that I have listened to the other party's words, I am like an initiation, and I am very excited.

"Good! Good! Brother Sun really has a brilliant plan! If my wish is fulfilled in the future, I will definitely thank Brother Sun generously for his kindness. "Jia Yucai doesn't care who the other party is, as long as he can be the master of the house again in Rongguo Mansion and drive out the second room, he won't suffer!
