Chapter 5: Thoughts
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, o(n_n)o
------------------
Ling Jingxian's tenderness was interrupted abruptly, and her smile suddenly became a little embarrassed and stiff.
I didn't know how to say what was going to happen next.
Seeing her reaction like this, Ling Jingshu was even more sure of what she thought in her heart, and she only felt that Ling Jingxian was selfish and ridiculous. didn't bother to go around in circles with her, and said bluntly: "It's just the two of us here, just say anything straight!" ”
Ling Jingxian's face flushed with some embarrassment.
Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling Jingxian with a smile.
With her understanding of Ling Jingxian, since she came, the words she had calculated in her heart would be said no matter what.
As expected, Ling Jingxian held back for a long time, and finally brazenly said her request: "Cousin Shu, I like Cousin Hong wholeheartedly, and when my grandmother's birthday is over, I will beg my mother to secretly mention the family matter to my aunt, don't you rob Cousin Hong with me, okay?" ”
There are many sisters in the Ling family, and the most beautiful one is Miss Ling Jiu, the concubine of the fifth room. Those who have good deeds gave Ling Jingshu the title of the first beauty in Dingzhou behind her back.
Ling Jingxian and Ling Jingshu are of similar age, and they are often compared. The most commonly heard is: "The eighth lady of your mansion is born with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance, but Miss Nine is even better"
"I heard that Miss Nine is good at planting peonies, and most of the famous peonies in the Ling family's peony garden are planted by Miss Nine."
"I really don't know who is lucky enough to marry Miss Ling Jiu"
Ling Jingshu! Ling Jingshu! It's always Ling Jingshu!
As long as there is Ling Jingshu, she Ling Jingxian will become an inconspicuous green leaf. She was jealous and unwilling in her heart, but she was helpless. On weekdays, he was full of energy, always thinking about finding an opportunity to overpower Ling Jingshu.
This time, the Lu family came to visit, and she fell in love with Lu Hong at first sight, and secretly vowed not to marry Lu Hong. Although she didn't want to admit it, she also knew very well that once Ling Jingshu showed up, she was afraid that Lu Hong's attention would be attracted by Ling Jingshu, and after thinking about it, she finally came up with this method.
She wants to show her heart first!
Ling Jingshu knew her intentions, so she naturally wanted to distance herself from Lu Hong
And so it was.
Ling Jingshu didn't laugh angrily: "Cousin Xian said these words are too ridiculous. I've been staying in Qiushui Pavilion for the past few days, and I haven't seen that cousin of the Lu family at all. Where does the word 'rob' come from? Besides, it's your business who you like and who you want to marry, and what does it have to do with me. If that's what you're looking for here, it's ridiculous. ”
Every sentence is sharp and merciless.
Ling Jingxian was choked and speechless.
This cousin has always been gentle and submissive, and she occasionally eats some stuffy losses and doesn't say anything, so she came cheekily and made such an unreasonable request, but she didn't expect Ling Jingshu to react so hard and coldly.
Ling Jingshu said coldly: "If Cousin Xian has nothing else to do, please take care of yourself!" "Unceremoniously open your mouth.
Ling Jingxian didn't care about any face, took Ling Jingshu's hand, and pleaded softly: "Just now I was not good, and I spoke inappropriately, which made you unhappy." I'll give you a company, don't be angry, okay? ”
"However, I didn't lie to you just now, and what I said was from the bottom of my heart. We two sisters have been in it for so many years, and I have never asked you for anything, so you can promise me this time! As long as you stay away from Cousin Hong and ignore him, you can help me."
Self-talking, self-righteous.
Why did she think she would accede to such a selfish request?
Ling Jingshu pulled the corners of her lips sarcastically, and was about to refuse mercilessly and categorically, when a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
In this life and this life, she no longer wants to have the slightest involvement with Lu Hong! That being the case, why not help Ling Jingxian "one hand"?
No, that's not right!
Even though the relationship between the two is not harmonious, they are still cousins in the end, and there is no deep hatred. Knowing that the Lu family was a fire pit, she just sat back and watched Ling Jingxian jump in, always unbearable
With this hesitation, Ling Jingxian seized the opportunity.
Ling Jingxian's eyes flashed with joy and relief, and she clenched Ling Jingshu's hand: "Cousin Shu, if you don't speak, I will just say yes." ”
Ling Jingshu frowned: "When will I agree?"
"If I get my wish in the future, I will not forget your kindness today." Ling Jingxian ignored Ling Jingshu's words, and quickly said, "I've been here for so long, it's time to go back, Cousin Shu has a good rest." I'll come to you tomorrow morning and go with you to say hello to my grandmother. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly got up and left.
Ling Jingshu: ""
After Ling Jingxian left, Bai Yu quickly walked in. When she saw Ling Jingshu's unhappy face, Bai Yu immediately asked with concern, "What did Eighth Miss say to you?" ”
Ling Jingshu couldn't help but snort: "I don't know what to say, I'm too lazy to pay attention to her!" ”
Bai Yu was confused when he heard it.
Ling Jingshu explained in concise words: "Cousin Xian fell in love with the Lu family's cousin at first sight, and came to beg me today to stay away from the Lu family's cousin in the future. ”
Bai Yu: ""
An angry look appeared on Bai Yu's pretty face: "How can Eighth Miss say that, it's too much." ”
There is no such truth in the world.
Not to mention that the young lady has not seen the young master of the Lu family, there is no way to talk about it. Even if they met, the young master of the Lu family fell in love with his own young lady, did he want to give it to Miss Eight? Or is it okay to blame the young lady for this?
Ling Jingshu was a little annoyed, looking at Bai Yu, who was angry with her, the trace of anger quickly dissipated: "It's just a little thing, it's really not worth being angry about." ”
After a pause, he said lightly: "Actually, even if she doesn't say it, I will stay away from that Young Master Lu." ”
I only wish that in this life and this life, I will never be stranger.
Ling Jingshu lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding all the emotions under her eyes
In the early morning of the second day, Ling Jingxian really came early.
As soon as they met, they called out to Cousin Shu affectionately, and then took the initiative to choose clothes and jewelry for Ling Jingshu.
"Cousin Shu, come, try this blue dress. There is also this set of red gold and ruby head jewelry. Ling Jingxian raised a bright and bright smile, and was very enthusiastic.
Bai Yu watched from the sidelines, really sulking.
This kind of lotus color is a little dark, not bright enough, when picking fabrics that day, it is a few ladies in the house to pick the leftover. The young lady didn't care about taking it back, and she never wore it after making it into a dress.
There is also the set of red gold and ruby head jewelry, which was given by Mrs. Ling when she was in the New Year. Although the workmanship is exquisite, it also looks a little old-fashioned.
Ling Jingxian picked these, and she didn't have a good heart at all.
Bai Yu coughed, opened his mouth euphemistically and said, "Miss Eight, let's pick another one"
"Cousin Xian's vision is naturally good." Ling Jingshu interrupted Bai Yu with a smile: "Just wear this." Bai Yu, come and wait for me to change my clothes and makeup. ”
Bai Yu replied helplessly, gritting his teeth secretly in his heart. When she took the dress from Ling Jingxian's hand, she couldn't help but sneer: "Miss Eight is really a good eye. Our young lady is dressed like this today, and I think it will definitely leave a 'deep' impression on the big guys. ”
Bai Yu deliberately bit the word profound.
No matter how much Ling Jingxian thought about it, she hadn't cultivated to the realm of being thick and silent, and she suddenly became embarrassed.
Ling Jingshu quietly glanced at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu had to keep her mouth shut, and quickly waited for Ling Jingshu to change her clothes and make up.
When the newly cleaned Ling Jingshu appeared in front of her, Ling Jingxian's eyes widened in surprise.
The not-so-flattering blue color is surprisingly good-looking on Ling Jingshu's body. The cheeks, which are as white as jade, are reflected in a faint pink. Ruyun's hair was pulled into a beautiful Lingyun bun, and a complete set of red gold and ruby head jewelry was worn neatly, showing a dignified and calm that was far superior to that of girls of the same age.
Although it is not as stunning as it used to be, it is becoming more and more durable, and people can't take their eyes off it
obviously deliberately picked a dull dress and old-fashioned jewelry, but Ling Jingshu still wore it on her body, and she was still glamorous.
Ling Jingxian was jealous and hateful in her heart, and her eyes were about to pop out.
Bai Yu looked at Ling Jingxian's somewhat distorted pretty face, and her heart that had been suffocated for a long time suddenly calmed down. Deliberately smiled and asked, "Please take a good look at Miss Eight, our young lady is dressed like this, and she won't be rude in front of your guests!" ”
Ling Jingxian squeezed out a smile: "Cousin Shu is beautiful and outstanding, how can she be rude." ”
Bai Yu pretended to be relieved: "That's fine." It's not in vain that Miss Eight bothered to pick out dresses and jewelry. ”
Ling Jingxian: ""
Bai Yu was so protective of her shortcomings, which made Ling Jingshu feel heartwarming and funny. connived at Bai Yu to taunt Ling Jingxian for a few words, and then smiled faintly: "It's not too early, we should also go to Yonghetang." ”
Ling Jingxian's interest when she came had been dispelled for the most part, and she responded with a wistful expression
The two sisters held hands and soon arrived at Yonghetang.
At this time, there were already many people in the inner hall of Yonghetang.
Old Lady Ling was still sitting on the top. However, it was not her son and daughter-in-law who were sitting next to Mrs. Ling today, but her daughter Ling, who had returned from afar.
Ling is twenty-eight years old this year, pampered and well-maintained, looking younger than his actual age, and his complexion is ruddy. The appearance is not particularly beautiful, but there is the moving charm of a mature woman between the eyebrows and eyes.
The slightly raised eyebrows and the occasional light between the eye waves were the same as Old Lady Ling.
But the ruthless and ruthless methods are beyond the reach of Mrs. Ling.
For the sake of his own status, he did not hesitate to push his in-laws' maiden niece into the fire pit, and used the child's life to blackmail her into submission. A few years later, he personally strangled her with three zhang white silk
"This is the fifth brother's daughter, Sister Shu!" Ling smiled kindly, and his eyes were very kind: "Come over quickly, let my aunt take a good look." ”
