Chapter 141: Feng Shui Rotates
Although Dai Sang said that he didn't need to clean up, because everything here was not his own, and if he took it out, it would only make people laugh.
But at noon, when Lin Wanbai and Dai Sang were about to get into the carriage and go to Lin's house, Cao Ye suddenly appeared, with a respectful face and no dissatisfaction.
In fact, in King Qi's Mansion, except for the people in Concubine Li's courtyard, they were all pretty good to her. A master with a good personality who doesn't like to enslave others has no reason to be annoying.
For the servants and maids of the palace, it is just to live in the vast world, as long as they can live better and more easily, then it is enough.
"Miss Wan, please stay."
Cao Ye stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and then looked at her and said, "The princess ordered, let this car accompany you to the Lin family." β
Lin Wanbai stood beside the carriage, withdrew her hand and saluted Cao Ye in return, since she knew that Cao Ye and Su Mu had a relationship, she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, and she also subconsciously dodged and resisted Cao Ye.
It seems that as long as it is someone or something related to Su Mu, she just wants to avoid it.
"Master Cao, what does this mean?"
Lin Wanbai looked at Cao Ye, and the carriage behind him, an innocent carriage, in addition to the coachman, there were also two guards, and there was nothing special.
"The princess has instructed, our palace, there can be no neglect, Miss Wan is a person from our palace, and when she goes to the Lin family, she naturally wants to let them know where the prestige of the palace is."
Cao Ye said quietly, and Lin Wanbai noticed a detail, that is, he said to Lin Wanbai that he was going to Lin's house, not going back to Lin's house; It seems that everyone here does not regard Lin Wanbai as an outsider.
"Then please Cao Ye and thank the princess on your behalf."
Lin Wanbai said, bending down again, in fact, she never thought of going to the Lin family to show off her might. To be honest, the Lin family is not worthy.
But if she had the opportunity, why didn't she use it.
After Cao Ye nodded, he took a step forward. There was only one step away from Lin Wanbai, and then he leaned his head forward slightly, and said in a somewhat serious tone: "There is a sentence that may not be right, but I still have to ask Miss Wan, you will be tomorrow." Will you sit in a sedan chair as promised? β
Lin Wanbai raised his head suddenly, looking at Cao Ye in front of him, an old man who was already fifty-six years old, but his eyes were bright and should not be underestimated. Such a man can achieve a career wherever he is placed, and he doesn't have to be a housekeeper slave from others at all.
As soon as she thought of the connection between Cao Ye and Su Mu, she felt a burst of resistance in her heart.
"What do you mean by Cao Ye?"
Her tone became a little aggressive, and the resentment in her heart was getting bigger and bigger, and this was her life. But now it seems that Su Mu is all responsible for it.
Didn't you let it go in twos and twos, and now let Cao Ye come here to say these words, what does it mean?
"Miss Wan, this is just ......"
"Is Su Mu a very arrogant person, arrogant enough to make people feel disgusting?"
Lin Wanbai interrupted him, even if Cao Ye had a lot of status here in the palace, there was no way to stop her anger.
"Did Su Mu really think that I would run away from marriage for someone like him? It's ridiculous. In King Qi's mansion, I am the princess, I have what I want, a lifetime of brocade clothes and food, and a maid. That's the best for a woman. If Cao Ye could see Su Mu, he would say to him, what good is he to let me give up all this for him? β
Lin Wanbai said, not caring about Cao Ye's face, just as Mama Shao said. This is a big family, and it is a relative of the emperor, and there are too many rules. What to say and what not to say is not something that can be clearly expressed in one or two sentences.
And what Lin Wanbai said just now is very clear, that is, it is in the category that should not be said.
It's just that it doesn't matter to Lin Wanbai or not, since Cao Ye dares to say such a thing, does she still have to face it with a hippie smile?
After that, she looked at Cao Ye's not good-looking face, and added: "If Cao Ye can have the opportunity to meet Su Mu, please pass on these words on your behalf." β
As she spoke, she ignored Cao Ye's face and lowered her head and got into the carriage.
Dai Sang also followed in, and saw that Lin Wanbai's face was not good, so he sat aside and didn't speak.
The more Lin Wanbai thought about it, the more angry she became, the handkerchief in her hand was clenched tightly, if Su Mu was in front of her, she couldn't wait to pounce on it directly and bite it.
She must be too kind to let Su Mu bully him again and again, anyway, now that the overall situation has been decided, she doesn't need to use Su Mu for anything at all.
There is already Hongshu to use, and such a ruthless man has no value for her to use, so she doesn't need to appear in front of her again.
Thinking of this, her face was gloomy and terrifying.
The distance between King Qi's mansion and the Lin family was not far, according to the footsteps of the carriage, it would not take long to arrive, she heard the horseman call, and then stopped in front of the gate of the Lin family.
She was supported by Dai Sang, got out of the carriage, and raised her head to see that the gate of the Lin family was open, quite outside.
Generally speaking, the door of the house is used as a faΓ§ade decoration, the number of times the door is opened in a year, five fingers are counted, and it is some major events to open the door to greet, which is regarded as a high-level etiquette.
Generally speaking, the entry and exit are at the side gate, that is, next to the gate, a simple side gate is built, and the entry and exit are all here.
Lin Wanbai couldn't imagine that he could enjoy the treatment of opening the door once in the Lin family. It seems that the identity of this Qi Wangfu is really not low.
She is a person who understands current affairs, and tries not to quarrel if she can, because it is not good for herself.
"Wan'er has seen her father, aunt."
She stepped forward and saluted Lin Hongan and Lin Chen, lowered her eyebrows, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and looked like a little white lotus, even if she wanted to be angry with her, she couldn't get up.
Before Lin Hongan could speak, Lin Chen on the side had already spoken.
"Yo, Sister Wan'er, this is a noble person, we have been waiting here for a long time before you appeared."
This kind of heavy gift of opening the door, Lin Chen's heart has long had many complaints, but the Lin family is in charge of Lin Hongan, he can do whatever he wants, even if it is Lin Chen's, there is no way to say no.
Only, at the time of meeting. Just say a few more words that should be spoken.
Lin Wanbai is not angry, these capable dogs are very restrained and don't bark, only those dogs who don't have the ability will keep barking.
"I've kept my aunt waiting."
She smiled. Then he turned around and ignored her, and said directly to Lin Hongan: "Dad, when my daughter came back, the princess asked her to prepare some thin gifts and let her daughter bring her back." β
Dai Sang stood aside and was very sensible. Walk to the carriage and ask the servant to carry the contents down.
Top silk, tea, ceramics, some jade ruyi, and even an ink painting with an inscription written by the emperor himself.
This kind of royal unique thing is not something that money can buy, and for people like Lin Hongan who even dream of squeezing into the top, it is undoubtedly more scarce than a treasure.
He held an ink painting with an inscription written by the emperor in his hand, and he loved to rub it with his hands. There was a greedy look in his eyes.
But he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and he is not too ugly in the end, so he came back to his senses and hurriedly said to Lin Wanbai: "Wan'er, let's go to the house first." β
Lin Wan bowed her head and looked at Lin Manlu, who was standing on the side, like a passerby, not long ago, Lin Manlu was sneering in front of her, but now she could only lower her head and say nothing.
It seems that Feng Shui takes turns with this sentence. It's true.
Lin Wanbai strode in, and then stepped into the threshold, not squinting along the way, disdainful of the people beside him.
What kind of look those people used to give her. What kind of face will she return back, the so-called ignorance of better people, not her style.
When he came to the hall, Lin Hongan treated her like a guest and invited her to sit down.
Lin Wanbai didn't shirk either, and didn't wait for Lin Chen to sit down. She sat down first, which made Lin Chen's face ugly for a while, but Lin Hongan didn't care.
"Wan'er, when you come back, what did the princess and the princess say?"
Lin Hongan had just sat down, and he couldn't wait to ask, if he couldn't even get a little oil and water, it would be too much of a failure to climb such a fat business.
How could she say anything, when she left, someone was ready for everything, but the princess and the prince really didn't say anything to her. If you really want to say this, there is only Cao Ye's heart-stopping words.
However, how could Lin Wanbai tell the truth.
"Yes, when I came back, the prince and the princess came out to see each other, which flattered my daughter."
She lowered her head and said shyly, Dai Sang stood aside, blinked, knowing that her master was about to talk nonsense again.
"yes, what did they say?"
Lin Hongan's face was overjoyed, and he almost couldn't hold back and said, "Is there anything about Xu'er?" β
Hearing Xu'er, Lin Chen looked at the old man a little strangely, and then looked at Lin Wanbai, what the hell is going on, why did it involve her Xu'er?
"Dad, don't worry, this matter can't be rushed."
Although she has to talk some nonsense to bluff the people of the Lin family, it can't be too outrageous, and there is no way to step down in the future.
"What's wrong with my Xu'er, master?"
Lin Chen asked anxiously, but Lin Hongan didn't pay attention to her at all, the wife who used to think that everything was good, but now she feels that nothing is good, and even saying a word more is a headache.
"I didn't ask you."
Lin Hongan said very impatiently, and then continued to look at Lin Wanbai here, whoever has value has status, this is so realistic here.
"Yes, don't be in a hurry, if this happens, Wan'er, you are the benefactor of our family."
Lin Hongan wants to be an official even if he is dreaming, although this hereditary title sounds very good, but he has no real power at all; If Lin Tianxu can be an official and have real power, then he will go out in the future, and his waist will be straight.
Lin Tianxu, who was sitting on the side, heard everyone talking about him, raised his head and listened, but did not speak.
As the eldest son, he does not have Lin Manlu's arrogance, nor Lin Chen's domineering, nor Lin Hongan's hypocrisy, which makes Lin Wanbai feel very surprised, so he wants to help.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't even look at it.
After a period of greetings, everyone dispersed, and Lin Wanbai also rubbed her neck, after coming back, she had a smile on her face, although it was just a hypocritical smile, but she would also feel tired.
My own courtyard has not been repaired, what it looked like when I left, what it looked like when I came back, just replaced with some new bedding.
She sneered in her heart, and she didn't care, this is good for a person, it is reflected in the details, not superficial work.
Since Lin Hongan came back from her, he has shown great concern everywhere and treated her as a guest; But as soon as she returned to her small courtyard and saw all these rags, she knew that all this was just a pretense.
It's easy to do on the surface, but the deep concern in the heart can't be pretended at all.
"Miss Wan, look, the dust here is at least a foot thick."
Dai Sang put down his things and looked around, except for the room, the rest of the place was as if it had not been cleaned, dirty and dusty.
The maids in the backyard of the Lin family are all under the control of the Lin Chen family, so even if Lin Hongan gives an order to clean it well, it must be approved by the Lin Chen family.
How could she really be willing to be good to Lin Wanbai.
"Out of the way, just for one night."
Lin Wanbai didn't bother to look at it at all, no matter how dirty and messy it was, he had seen it, what was this.
"But ......"
Dai Sang was still not satisfied, how could her master live in such a place, so dirty, so messy, so bad.
"These external objects, what's the use of care, they don't have me in their hearts, so they don't accept it, as long as they are convinced, even if they don't make trouble, they will give me the best."
She chuckled under her breath, then walked out of the small courtyard and walked towards Aunt Zhao's courtyard.
If it weren't for Aunt Zhao, she wouldn't have come back here at all, even if she wanted to get married, she could just find an inn to marry.
This glory is not deserved by the Lin family.
Aunt Zhao had been waiting for a day, and before Lin Wanbai walked in, she rushed out and took Lin Wanbai's hand, with tears in her eyes.
"Wan'er, you're back."
As soon as Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she choked up a little, in her mind, she had always felt guilty, if she was stronger, maybe her daughter would not need to marry a fool.
"Wan'er, if your mother is a little more capable, you don't need to wronged yourself like this, it's all bad for your mother."
For the past few months, she has been alone in the house, blaming herself every day and taking all the responsibility on her shoulders.
Lin Wanbai had a smile on her face, and she kept shaking her head gently, she never felt how difficult it was for her to live.
"Is that little fool okay with you, and Princess Qi and Prince Qi, are they good to you, I heard that Concubine Li is very strong and fierce, do you embarrass you."
Aunt Zhao has been talking non-stop, whether Lin Wanbai is doing well or not is something she has always been worried about.
"It's all good, no one can bully me."
She said, slying a smile. (To be continued.) )
