Chapter 11: Teasing You
For the first time, sister Jin Yuan came to visit Linglong in the small cross courtyard, and since Linglong came back, Jin Yuan came for the first time.
Jin Yuan was wearing a red makeup gown, a moon-white skirt, combed a single bun, and inserted two gold-inlaid jade hairpins, she did not inherit the delicate and delicate Song family, and was born a little stout, Feng once said that Jin Yuan looked like her grandmother.
Today, Jin Yuan was obviously carefully dressed, standing in a simple hall, looking out of place.
Although Jin Yuan is the eldest sister, she is different, and Linglong only bows slightly to her, and Jin Yuan's face is a little unbearable.
"Fifth sister, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I heard that the twelve princes had a lottery, and our Jin family also invested in a boat, so let's go and see it together."
The Dawu Dynasty has a developed water system, and dragon boat racing has a long history, but it is only limited to the south. After the first emperor inspected the south of the Yangtze River, he regretted that there was no custom of dragon boat racing near the capital. Therefore, in order to cater to the dignitaries and scholars, they held a dragon boat race in the Anding River outside the city during the Dragon Boat Festival in the coming year. The first emperor Longyan Dayue, this custom has been handed down in the capital since then, until now, the annual Dragon Boat Festival, this dragon boat race is a grand event.
Linglong grew up in Jiangsu, and it is not uncommon for dragon boat racing, but what is rare for her is that Jin Yuan invited her to go with her.
She has not been in the capital all these years, and in the eyes of others, Jin Yuan is the Miss Jin family, and there is no distinction between concubines and concubines. But now Jin Yuan is pulling her along, so she is suing everyone, and the Miss Jin Wu next to her is Miss Chang, and Miss Jin San is just a concubine.
This kind of thing of moving stones to shoot herself in the foot, not only Jin Yuan will not do it, but the second wife Song Xiuzhu will not let her do it.
Linglong was a little reserved, she smiled and shook her head: "Thank you for the kindness of the third sister, I still won't go." ”
Jin Yuan didn't expect Linglong to refuse to go, in her mind, Linglong is now eager to show up in front of the world, tell everyone that she is the daughter of the Jin family, why is she Jin Linglong unwilling to go in such a limelight?
"Fifth sister, you must be afraid that there are too many people there, in addition to the dragon boat, there is also a painting boat, just watch it on the painting boat, those who can go on the painting boat are all famous ladies in the capital, and it is good for everyone to sit together and chat."
Linglong still shook her head, her face was a little more shy, and Jin Yuan frowned slightly, she heard her mother say that Jin Linglong had an idea, why didn't she look like it at all today, she was clearly a little girl who had just come down from the countryside in Jiangsu and had never seen the world, and she couldn't compare with a young lady like Beijing.
"Good sister, you're about to die of your sister, what else don't you want to go, such a fun place, there is only one chance a year."
Jin Yuan is two years older than Linglong, and she has not yet reached her age, so she has something hidden in her heart, although her face is natural and normal, her eyes still betray her when she speaks.
Linglong no longer looked at Jin Yuan's eyes, but lowered her eyes, with a hint of grievance, and squeaked after a while: "I don't have head jewelry, I'm afraid of making people laugh."
Jin Yuan sneered secretly, it turned out that she wanted to take the opportunity to raise conditions, but she couldn't see that you had so many ghost eyes when you were only twelve years old, but it was a pity that you were still too tender.
"Ouch, why didn't the fifth sister say it earlier, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's too late to make jewelry at this time. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I'll use my sister's mine, it's all right? ”
Linglong's face was full of ignorance: "Is the third sister really willing?" Aren't you afraid that I will accidentally break it and lose it? ”
Jin Yuan is now in a hurry to get her to agree to see the dragon boat, how can she take care of so much, so she pretended to smile generously: "Then how can it be, the fifth sister is a careful person at first glance, I will let someone bring a few pieces to you." ”
Linglong shook her head: "I want to go to the third sister's room to pick and choose, okay?" ”
This Jin Linglong is really excessive, she even wants to pick it herself, and she doesn't want to see what she is!
Jin Yuanqiao's face stiffened, and she said unhappily: "The fifth sister can't trust my sister, I'm worried that my sister will give you some undecent goods." ”
Linglong saw that Jin Yuan was angry, her body arched slightly, she shrank a little, and her voice trembled: "If the third sister doesn't want to, forget it, this kind of occasion is not something I can go to, I'm still doing needlework at home, what's new, just tell me when the third sister comes back." ”
Seeing that she changed her mind again, Jin Yuan was anxious, and just wanted to have a seizure, but Mulan, a first-class girl next to her, gently gave her a look, suggesting that she should not be impatient.
Mulan was originally a confidant of the Song family, and she was very safe in her work, and Jin Yuan trusted her very much.
Seeing Mulan give her a look, Jin Yuan forcibly suppressed her anger and said to Linglong: "Then the fifth sister will go back with me and pick it herself." But let's talk about it, the fifth sister is not allowed to regret it after picking something, and she must go tomorrow. ”
Linglong didn't show off, nodded vigorously, her head seemed to be about to break, Jin Yuan was very satisfied with her virtue, Jin Linglong should be this kind of small family.
Jin Yuan and Jin Yu live in Wanghe Garden. The garden is not big, but the scenery is superb. The wall on one side of the garden is hollowed out, and outside the wall is the rippling lotus pond, standing on the embroidery floor, you can take in the lotus flowers in the pond. The garden is full of lotus fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
When Linglong was a child, she liked to go to the pool to see lotus flowers. At that time, Feng said in front of several concubines that when Linglong was a little older, he would give her this lotus to live, and Feng also smiled and said that the young lady who grew up watching the lotus flower would also be more smart.
Thinking of this, Song Xiuzhu must have kept in mind what her mother said, so she let her two daughters live in Wanghe Garden.
Whether it is true that living here is more and more spiritual, Linglong doesn't know, but she knows how unwilling Song Xiuzhu is. is unwilling to only be a concubine Teng, unwilling to rely on the Feng family, and unwilling to let her children just concubines.
Things that can't be changed in terms of identity must also be changed in other aspects, such as letting her two daughters live in the garden that Feng chose for her own daughter, which should also be a very popular thing for her.
Jin Yuan's two second-class maids, Shisu and Mo Ju, took out a mahogany gold-painted chest, opened the small brass lock on it, and inside was Miss Jin San's head.
Linglong glanced at Jin Yuan with the rest of her eyes, and saw that she was staring closely at one of the eight treasures and holding beads, Linglong simply made a joke.
She picked up the golden step in her trembling hands, and her eyes lit up as if she had never seen anything so good.
"Third sister, this me"
As soon as she spoke, Jin Yuan had already snatched the golden step shaker: "This is what my mother just called me, and I just asked me to wear it when I watched the dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival, and I can't lend it to you." ”
Cut, I'm not rare, just to tease you.
