Chapter XXXIV Quotas
The invitation of the eldest princess is not so easy to get, Lin Wanjin knows that there is also an invitation in the Lin Mansion in previous years, but after all, the eldest princess only holds one such banquet every year.
The invitation of the eldest princess will be so precious, one is because of the noble status of the eldest princess herself, she is the sister of the current majesty. When she married Liao Yingjia, the son of the Liao family of the scholarly family, after the two got married, they had a son and a daughter, and they lived a happy life, which can be described as a model couple in Beijing.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and then Liao Yingjia suddenly fell ill and died, and her eldest son died at the same time, leaving only the youngest daughter in infancy. Then the eldest princess didn't take the child long after she moved out of Liao's house and went to her princess's mansion. Just when everyone thought that there was some conflict between the eldest princess and the Liao family, they found that the Liao family and the eldest princess were still moving around, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
Perhaps because of the tragic situation of the eldest princess, His Majesty the Emperor has been even more fond of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess has been very popular in Beijing, and she is an elegant example of many nobles in Beijing.
After the eldest princess moved out of the Liao family, she did not attend banquets and walked around the capital for many years, and it was only in these years that banquets began to be held. In these years, the princess's mansion held a banquet every year, and each banquet would invite nobles from all walks of life in Beijing, especially those families with unmarried children.
And every time Her Royal Highness the eldest princess holds a banquet, the royal family will definitely have support, or a reward or the prince will go in person. Even when the eldest princess opened the door for a banquet for the first time, the emperor and the queen mother appeared, which shows the importance that His Majesty attaches to her. Gradually, it was a great honor for Jingzhong to go to the eldest princess's mansion for a banquet, and not all of them in Jingzhong could be invited, it all depended on the invitation letter given by the eldest princess.
In previous years, the Lin Mansion would also receive one, and each invitation could not bring everyone, and the nobles also had to pay attention to face or something. A big family like Lin Mansion is not very crowded in Beijing, but there are many people. There are no less than ten young masters and young ladies now, and it is impossible to go to a banquet and bring so many people with one invitation.
Therefore, every year in the Lin Mansion, the people who were taken to the Eldest Princess's Mansion for a banquet were envied and jealous. And this year is a little different, because the five rooms are back, and the number of people has increased, which makes the limited number of places even more scarce.
In previous years, Mrs. Lin didn't go, only the Li family took people to go, in principle, to bring the children of the right age marriage.
"Fifth brother and sister, why is it so late today." Before Xiao Su could sit down, Wang's voice sounded, and Lin Wanjin raised her eyes and couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Although an invitation can't bring many people over, three or four are still okay, and this year's eldest sister Lin Wanyu is getting married, so naturally she won't go again.
And the third sister Lin Wanling doesn't go out much as soon as she enters the winter, and she won't go, and the rest is only the second sister Lin Wanqiong and herself are considered concubines in the real sense, and the fourth sister Lin Wanqi and the fifth sister Lin Wanzhen are also concubines, but after all, they are concubines, and the second sister is of the right age, so she must take her this time. Wang shouldn't have to worry about it, or is it that she just doesn't like Xiao Su's eyes at all, so she has to stab her from time to time.
"It's the third sister-in-law who came early." Xiao Su replied lightly.
"Okay, you also know that the eldest princess's mansion has sent an invitation, and this time it is still the Li family who will take you there, as for the person who is going to go." Old Lady Lin spoke up to stop Wang from continuing, and her eyes swept down faintly.
Lin Wanjin still has some hopes and wants to go, after all, she is out of the Lin Mansion and comes into contact with the noble family in Beijing, which must be helpful for the things she wants to understand.
In the dream, in the end, the crown prince fell and King Jin ascended the throne, her goal was very clear, she wanted to find out what the Lin Mansion had to do with these two forces.
There were a few others who were even more nervous than Lin Wanjin, and even Lin Wanqi grabbed her hand, staring at her upper tightly, listening to her name. Lin Wanjin glanced at her, quietly reached out and patted her hand, Lin Wanqi looked up at her and smiled reluctantly.
"Mother, daughter-in-law also received invitations, so we don't need to be counted this time." Suddenly, Xiao Su said.
Others, including Lin Wanjin, looked at Xiao Su in surprise for a while, when did she receive the invitation? That's the invitation of the eldest princess, how could she receive it, how long has it been since she returned to Beijing? Wang's face was even more distorted, and he just stared at Xiao Su for a while, with indescribable surprise and jealousy in his eyes.
"I was going to tell you when I came to say hello this morning, but my daughter-in-law was also very surprised." Seeing that everyone was looking at her like this, Xiao Su pursed her lips and smiled, and handed the invitation to Mrs. Lin. Not to mention that they were surprised, but she herself was also surprised, and she couldn't understand why she would give her an invitation alone.
"Well, since I invited you, then you can take Jin'er and Yi'er with you." Mrs. Lin took the invitation, opened it, looked at it, and then handed it back to Xiao Su, smiled and nodded.
In the end, it was decided that Lin Wanqiong, Lin Wanqi, and Lin Wanzhen would go, and the Li family would take them, and the matter was settled, no matter whether anyone had objections or not, Mrs. Lin didn't have to change it when she spoke.
Out of Deshou Temple, Li called Xiao Su, "Come with us when your brother and sister arrive, I also went there in previous years, but I am familiar with it." ”
"That's the best, I'm still thinking about following you, otherwise I will be embarrassed by the Hou Mansion when the time comes." Xiao Su smiled and nodded in response.
So the two said that the time was good, and they separated, and Lin Wanjin followed Xiao Su to Qinnan Courtyard. "Mother, why did the eldest princess give you an invitation alone?"
"Well, this mother doesn't quite understand either, maybe she'll know that day." Xiao Su lowered his head and touched Lin Wanjin's head.
Now that she doesn't have to go to school, Lin Wanjin spends most of her time in her room reading books, and today she plans to go to her father's study to find some books to read. I've finished reading all the books in my hand, and she already told Lin Boyou yesterday.
However, he said that he would come back early today and let her go back later, when the time comes, to check to see if she has missed her homework recently. The so-called homework is Lin Wanjin's words, and now it is still a daily practice of words, recently because Lin Boyou is busy, Lin Wanjin's homework for practicing words has not been checked, and it is still in the listening bamboo garden.
After returning to Tingzhuyuan, Lin Wanjin did not stay, but quickly packed up her things and rushed out, she intuitively felt that it was not a wise thing for her to stay in Tingzhuyuan now.
Sure enough, when she arrived at Lin Boyou's study, Baizhu caught up and said that Lin Wanqiong and the others had gone to listen to Zhuyuan to find her, and after hearing that she was not there, they left without sitting.
