Chapter 15: Murder by Rumors (I)
Back in the house, Nangu hurried to find medicine.
"Nangu, go and call Lin Bai over." The hot pain on his face was overshadowed, and Lin Zhuyu naturally wanted to find out the truth of the matter.
"Miss, let's take the medicine first, the master really went to the hand, I'm afraid this redness and swelling won't go away in a few days." Nangu said as if she was about to cry.
"I'm fine, won't I just slap me in the face? But this person who dares to make trouble behind his back, I will definitely find him out! "Otherwise, my slap will be in vain!
Nangu couldn't resist her master, so she hurriedly went out to find Lin Bai's little beggar.
After a while, he returned.
As soon as Lin Bai entered the door, he saw that half of his young lady's face was red, and he remembered what Nangu said on the road, and he was also very angry for a while. Miss is a good person, she even protected herself in order to save herself at that time, and judging from the past two days, although Miss Mo Xiu said that she would flirt and make trouble, she had no selfish feelings, and the person who spread the rumors was too dark-hearted.
"Lin Bai, you go out to this Jiangnan City to inquire, and see where this rumor came from in the first place?"
Lin Bai knew that Miss Guan was well-known at this time, don't look at him thin, but his heart and eyes are clever.
"Miss, I know where to find the source of the rumors, we are beggars, but we have to watch and listen to all directions, and we are very clear about some major events in the city, so I will inquire!"
After getting the will of the young lady, he went out thinking about it.
Besides, Lin Xiangye, when he woke up, he heard Xuanqing tell him the ins and outs, and he also felt that this rumor was strange. He knows a little bit about his daughter's temperament, if he wants to say which son-in-law he has fallen in love with, he wants to decide whether to elope with others, he will not be able to see face in his life, and her self-esteem will not allow it.
Therefore, Lin Xiangye is even more afraid that this rumor is intentional, but she is a deep boudoir woman, and she has no grudges and hatreds, it seems... It seems that this rumor wants to seriously hurt himself, and he is his own Lin family's daughter-in-law, representing the Lin family and his own face! So Lin Xiang began to think about the few people who have always opposed him in the officialdom, of course, these are all later words.
At noon, a father-in-law came, and the decree of the saint said: "The city lord of Jiangnan and the county guard have invited a group of exotic singers and dancers from the Western Qin State to dance, and the emperor invites all the adults to watch together." After announcing the will, he said: "The emperor heard that Lin Xiang's daughter is chasing after him for thousands of miles, and he will have a small gathering in the royal palace tonight, and he will also come and watch it together." After saying the decree, the father-in-law also asked Lin Xiang with a smile on his face to remember.
The emperor actually learned that his son was coming? When Lin Xiang heard what his father-in-law said, he was a little confused for a while. When he came to his senses, he laughed and said to his father-in-law that it was troublesome, and he looked flattering!
Sending away the father-in-law, Lin Xiang didn't think deeply, it seems that the fact that the child was killed by rumors is really an official act, otherwise how can a woman in the boudoir have great ability to send the news to the emperor's ears!
Lin Xiang felt that he didn't ask the reason for the incident in the morning, and beat his daughter in black and white, and felt very guilty, so after sending off his father-in-law, he prepared for the dinner party in the evening.
Lin Zhiyu learned that the emperor had also heard the rumors, and he panicked for a while, the person behind this has such a great ability, and he can actually send the news to the emperor's ears, he must be a role that cannot be underestimated, and it is also aimed at himself, thinking about it, I feel that tonight's dinner is afraid of the Longtan tiger's den, but I don't know if the person behind it will appear.
In the evening, Nangu was in the house to freshen up Lin Zhuyu.
"Miss, I'm afraid this face will have to be compressed with thick powder, otherwise the red and swollen marks will really not go away!"
Lin Zhiyu didn't care much about this face, but when he thought of it, he was afraid that the person behind the curtain would also appear tonight, and seeing his appearance, he didn't mean the person behind the scenes, so he followed Nangu.
"Miss, look at these sets of clothes sent by the master, which one should you wear tonight?" Nan Gu asked, pointing to the clothes in the brocade box.
"How's this pink one? The lady who lined it by all means is more beautiful than a flower. ”
Looking at the red and pink colored clothes in the brocade box, the emperor clearly does not want to see himself, I don't know what my father means by preparing this dazzling clothes? It's better to pick a plain one, and it's better to be out of the limelight.
"Nangu, take out the yellow one and I'll take a look!" Lin Zhuyu had no choice but to choose one of the red, pink and purple ones that didn't look very ostentatious.
I saw Nan Gu spread out this yellow gauze skirt brocade robe, the pale yellow brocade robe was lightly embroidered with a few magnolias, the placket robe was embroidered with auspicious cloud jade brocade edges, and the outside was covered with a skirt with pinched teeth and trim, which didn't look very out of place!
"Nangu, that's it!" After all, it is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it is too pure, it will make people look down, this looks just right!
"Have you gone to see Miss?" My father and brother were already in front of the door and ready to go.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a shy little daughter walking out of the inner room.
Dressed in a light yellow brocade dress, coupled with a layer of light yarn outside, the waterfall-like hair is curled with a chic flying cloud oblique bun, and there is a little emerald jade inserted in the light and slow cloud temples, which is refreshing and pleasant.
The small face with a big palm, the skin is like condensed fat, with a faint red powder, if it weren't for the fact that the left side of the face was still swollen and did not subside, there would never be any traces, and this slightly swollen cheek made Lin Xiang feel a little guilty in his heart! A pair of eyes like a clear water, although young there are thousands of indescribable styles, hazy like a woman walking out of the painting!
Lin Zhiyu naturally knew that his father was staring at his cheek, in order not to show signs of being beaten on this cheek, Lin Zhiyu took a lot of thought, but he thought that he had been beaten by his father in the morning, and he didn't say anything for a while.
Nangu is not a waiter in grooming and dressing, and naturally she has no superb skills, plus the ancient fat powder, which is thick and shoddy, if you use such fat powder to plop directly on your face, even if you have good skin, you probably can't stand it, let alone your red and swollen cheeks.
But fortunately, I learned a little makeup skills, melted the fat powder and made a base, filtered the fine powder to take out the very fine powder, and dipped it in a handkerchief to pounce on my face, but there was no floating powder. After grinding the red powder finely, closing the fat powder will become a natural blush, and it will be finely pounced.
After all the outfits were completed, the first one was to look at Nangu stunned, the young lady's face seemed to be without powder, but it looked like it was delicate and crystalline, beautiful and shiny.
It's also for this makeup that it's too late. Xiangye wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw his little daughter dressed like this, he was just relaxed.
"Since the little sister is here, let's go!" Lin Xuanqing was also amazed when he saw his beautiful little sister.
In the royal garden, the emperor and the concubine have not yet arrived, and the officials are seated in twos and threes, the father is also in the second position on the left in front of the table, and the brother is not at the table.
Lin Zhiyu was led by the palace people to sit in a very low-key position on the left seat of the farthest lower head from the emperor, but this time the emperor's trip to Jiangnan, not many concubines and princesses came, and the official's wife and miss were not one, so Lin Zhuyu's appearance at the banquet attracted the attention of the princes and officials present.
In the banquet, a middle-aged man in a crow-blue robe, with a long and sassy and heroic body, took the lead in getting up from his seat, and seemed to question his father in a low voice. The middle-aged man saw that his father was angry, and returned to his seat without saying much.
Lin Zhuyu retracted his gaze, and Nangu, who was kneeling behind him, asked in a low voice, "Miss, my uncle is also here, do you want to go over and ask for peace?" ”
Uncle, it turns out that this is the uncle he has never met, and he looks like a dignified man!
Lin Zhiyu got up, walked up to his uncle and said uncle.
When the man saw Lin Zhuyu coming, he was kind and pleasant: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I have grown taller and become a big girl!" ”
Lin Zhuyu replied with a smile, but he was very puzzled in his heart, he hadn't seen his uncle for a few years? Lin Zhiyu didn't see Xiang Ye's already blue face at this time.
"Yo, this is Zuo Shangshu's niece? Lin Xiang's mansion is really a fairy-like person. A sharp-beaked monkey gills approached next to him, and the man with the roe deer's head rat said.
The uncle didn't want to pay attention to it, and the man continued: "I heard that Miss Xiangfu eloped with someone, and it's a pity to see this fairy-like appearance today."
Seeing that Lin Xiangye was also coming over here, a very blessed middle-aged man next to him said: "That is, Lin Xiangye has a wide heart, if my Jiao'er did such a shameless thing, a white silk would have gone a long time ago, and I, as a father, would probably be embarrassed to come out!" ”
The others in the hall saw these two waiters sneering, and they also muttered and muttered at the bottom.
"Wu Shilang, Lin Shilang, if you have leisure, you might as well do your own errands, this is long to short, but it is only the work of long-tongued women!" Uncle maintained.
"What are you talking about? Tell me about it? A man's voice came from far and near at the door of the hall, and Lin Yuyu looked at it subconsciously.
A white robe was raised by the falling wind, as if it was a fairy who fell from the sky! The hair is pinned by the black hosta, a few strands of green silk half block the phoenix eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight, and there is no solemnity of the eagle's hooked nose, only soft. The skin is snow-white, warm and delicate like jade. His appearance is extraordinary, handsome and chic, accompanied by the lanterns and moonlight, he walked towards Lin Zhiyu step by step, and his heart was pounding......
If there is no next sentence, Lin Zhuyu will definitely fall in love at first sight.
"Seventeen Princes" everyone greets.
"This is Lin Xiang's daughter? Elopement woman? These words were asking his father, Lin Zhuyu felt a cold sweat behind his back, and looked at him with a cold gaze.
"It's the little girl, it's just that the rumors are not credible, and I hope the seventeenth prince will find out."
didn't care about Lin Xiang's confession, for him, Lin Zhuyu was just a passerby.
"If the woman is not stayed, the husband should also consider the marriage of his children!" The wind was light, and with a dissolute smile on his evil and handsome face, he passed through everyone, and the seventeenth prince sat down as if nothing had happened.
