Chapter 4: Sowing Discord
The breeze blows and rushes to bring the fresh fragrance into the house.
The third aunt carefully dressed up and waited for Linlang to dance a graceful yarn dance. yes, I haven't seen Linlang for a few days, and I really miss this girl!
The flowers outside the window were blooming, and the third aunt was thinking about it, but she saw Tian Xing walking in alone with two brown boxes. She bit her lip and was preoccupied. Seeing the hesitant look, the third aunt was suddenly extremely disappointed.
"Third aunt, Linlang ...... her"
Tian Xing gently knocked on the door, picked up the thin pink veil and walked into the inner room. Seeing the third aunt's disappointed expression, she quickly lowered her head and said with a little panic: "Third aunt, just forgive Linlang!" She also has something unspeakable. ”
Seeing Tian Xing interceding for Linlang, the third aunt was even more suspicious. Her eyes were gloomy, her closed eyes shaking. Xu thought clearly, the third aunt took a deep breath, looked out the window with phoenix eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Why didn't Linlang come?" ”
She said......"
Tian Xing was still hesitating, at this time, she hadn't figured out whether the third aunt had forgiven Linlang, and she didn't know if she would buy it for Linlang next? Or is it just bad for her?
The third aunt saw Tian Xing talking in a slurred manner, raised the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Look at you are so scared, how can you learn Cui'er." Say, what's wrong with Linlang? Is there still a shadow in my heart about the Golden Mansion? ”
"Hehe, the third aunt still understands it." Tian Xing hurriedly came to the third aunt's side, and after helping her to take a seat, she quickly pinched her shoulders and said: "At that time, Xing'er didn't understand in her heart, how could Linlang say such a thing, it turned out that she had always had an opinion on the Jin Mansion. ”
"Oh? What did Linlang say? The third aunt tilted her head slightly, changed her posture and asked Tian Xing to give her a thump on the shoulder.
Linlang said that she was already disappointed in Jinfu! There is intrigue all day long, and the wives fight even if they don't let go of a maid. I really regret that I entered the Jin family in the first place, and it is better to look for my mother alone! ”
Although Tian Xing's words pointed the finger directly at the eldest lady, the second half of the sentence really hurt the third aunt's heart.
At the beginning, the third aunt saw Linlang's pity, so she had the heart to take it in. Moreover, the two of them went out of Tanglin together, which can be regarded as a fate of meeting in a foreign country.
It's just that I didn't expect the eldest lady to be too vicious, and Linlang poisoned her as soon as she entered the Jin Mansion. If it weren't for the wit of this girl, I am afraid that she would have been persecuted by Li Zhidi at this time.
"Hey! Since Linlang regrets it at the beginning, I won't be reluctant. The third aunt thought a lot, from the laughter and laughter brought by Linlang when she entered the house, to the tears in her eyes when she was bullied. Every look of her passed through the third aunt's mind.
That's it, that's it!
"Didn't the third aunt say just now, Linlang has a shadow on the Jin Mansion, why are you talking about such things now!" Tian Xing turned around and came to the third aunt, looked at her sad appearance, pursed her mouth, and persuaded: "Linlang also asked me to send you two boxes of high-quality roses, one for bathing and one for tea." You see, she still has you in her heart! ”
"Really?" The third aunt felt much more comfortable when she heard this, and her sad eyes were also shining with excitement. She reached out and took the box handed over by Tian Xing, opened it and took a look.
Just this glance, the heart that had just been excited was instantly poured cold.
The ordinary box is filled with roses, which are large but slightly darker in color. It is no different from the petals bought in the shop, and it is clear that they are not freshly picked. Look at the flower bones used for cooking tea, this is fresh, each one is the size of a fingernail, just right in it.
"Take them down." The third aunt tilted her head and rubbed the corners of her forehead, sighed and said, "Xing'er, if the master summons me today, it will say that I am tired." ”
"Yes." Tian Xing lowered her head and slowly retreated, came to the outer compartment, put down the powder gauze curtain before turning to leave.
Jinxiao Garden.
The courtyard that was once full of clouds is now full of laughter. From time to time, a few maids came out of the courtyard with smiles on their faces, dancing excitedly.
Since the eldest lady became pregnant, the whole person seems to have changed, and she is no longer so mean to her subordinates, as if she has the dignity of the eldest lady.
Tian Xing held two delicate wooden boxes, and deliberately turned around and passed by the carp pond. She proudly glanced at the laundry maid who was still feeding the fish, especially Fu Miao, and gave full play to the contempt in her eyes. Under the envious gaze of the women, she held her head high and walked briskly along the winding corridor towards Jinxiao Garden.
"Madame, Apricot has already done as you tell you. Here are two boxes of high-quality roses that Linlang gave to the third aunt, one for bathing and one for cooking tea. ”
Tian Xing knelt respectfully in front of the eldest lady. This morning, the family trustee brought the letter, and had already received the silver sent by the eldest lady, and went to the Jin family pharmacy to grab the medicine, which saved most of the silver.
Thinking of this, Tian Xing was even more grateful to the eldest lady, she lowered her head and whispered with red eyes: "Eldest lady, Xing'er thank you for your great kindness on behalf of her parents!" ”
"Get up, just a little thing you can." The eldest lady had a smile on her face, she turned to look at Mrs. Chi on the side, and smiled knowingly: "Sister may wish to bring some when she leaves, this high-quality rose can't be bought with money." ”
"Then my sister will thank you sister. Giggle......"
In the evening, a crescent moon poked its head out early. Tian Xing gently knocked on the door of the third aunt's house and whispered: "Third aunt, the water is ready, Xing'er will wait for you to bathe." ”
Roses overflow from the barrels, with a beautiful red and white glow, and a seductive fragrance. The third aunt tested the temperature of the water and slowly sank into the bathtub. In an instant, countless rose petals seemed to scramble to cover the tender skin like clotted cream.
The third aunt closed her eyes comfortably, forgot all her worries, and carefully experienced the moisture brought by the soft water.
A scoop of rose rain dew flowed diagonally along the smooth arms, across the bechanting neck, and hung on the waterfall-like green silk.
The next day, Tian Xing took advantage of the fact that the third aunt was not awake and came to Jinxiao Garden early.
"Big lady, the third aunt has already bathed with the rose petals given by Mrs. Chi, but it doesn't have any effect? Is there less apricots? ”
Tian Xing lowered her head and frowned in contemplation, carefully recalling the events of last night. She deliberately mixed some special petals, thinking that she would complete the task assigned by the eldest lady as soon as possible, so that she could invite credit in advance, maybe the eldest lady would be happy, and she would also reward some fine silver!
The eldest lady nodded slightly with a smile, Li'er was smart, took out a heavy silk brocade bag from the back compartment and stuffed it into Tian Xing's hand, blinked and signaled to listen carefully to the eldest lady's words.
"What's the panic, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I have to calm down in everything, and I can succeed step by step. It's called boiling a frog in warm water! ”
A trace of vicious resentment flashed from the eyes of the eldest lady, and she looked in the direction of Furong Garden, sneering in her heart.
Hibiscus Garden, Hibiscus Garden! Out of the water hibiscus, looking like Liping. The master loves you, doesn't he just have a beautiful face! Since you are beginning to doubt the child in my womb, then I will let you mess up in advance!
Yu curtain beads, let's see!
"Go, go back and serve the third aunt for a good life, and tell her more stories about Linlang. Aren't the two like sisters? Sisters still have time to tear their faces! ”
