Chapter 121 Two copies
Chiang's house? Which Chiang Mansion? The in-laws of the Northwest aunt and grandmother? Why did someone come so far away all of a sudden? Just for the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Lin Yuan went to the house full of questions, originally she thought that she would meet Mama Lin, but who knew that it was a woman with a raw face.
"Miss, are you back? This is Mama Jiang from Jiang's house, who gave a gift to her aunt and grandmother, but she was delayed on the way, and she just arrived today. Xianghe spoke, and glanced at Lin Yuan, "Look at your sweat, the slaves and maids all advise you not to go to the garden." ”
Lin Yuan heard the sound and knew the elegance, and when she saw the fun beside Mama Jiang, she smiled and said, "When I came back from my wife, I saw that lunch was not ready yet, so I went to visit the garden." ”
Qu'er said jokingly, "It's not good to be bored in the house all the time." ”
Mama Jiang also said, "Our old lady also likes to go to the garden before and after dinner. ”
The matter of sneaking away to the outer courtyard was not revealed, Lin Yuan looked at Mama Jiang and said, "Mama must be tired from the long journey, just have a meal." ”
Mama Jiang hurriedly waved her hand, "No, the old slave will go to Mrs. Lin later, I came here to bring you something on the order of our old lady." As soon as the words fell, she handed over a four-foot-long box at her hand.
Lin Yuan felt that the weight was not light, and asked Qiao Yihuan to take it with a smile, "Auntie and grandmother really love me." ”
Mama Jiang's smiling face was like a flower, "It's also the fourth lady who is intimate and well-behaved." Not only our old lady often talks about you, but even Young Master Xin often looks forward to your letter. ”
Lin Yuan was stunned, it was because of Lin Xin that her aunt and grandmother specially gave her a heavy gift?
"Although Xin Xin and I are different in generation, they are of the same age, so they can get along, and the relationship between the fifth sister and the sixth sister is also very good." Lin Yuan replied quietly.
Mama Jiang's smile did not change, "It also depends on fate." With that, she got up, "The things have been delivered, the old slave won't bother you, let's go to the Ci'an Courtyard to meet Mrs. Lin." ”
"Then I won't keep you, Xianghe, send Mama." Lin Yuan replied.
After sending Mama Jiang away, Lin Yuan opened the box with a full weight.
"Dig, this is for Miss?" Xianglan leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Lin Yuan frowned and looked at the things in the box, it was a guqin, she had studied the piano for a long time, and she also knew that the piano in this box was a good piano.
"This gift is too valuable." Lin Yuan muttered softly. Thousands of miles to send goose feathers is light and affectionate, not to mention thousands of miles to send a precious piano.
"Miss, there's still a letter here." San'er pointed to the edge of the piano and said.
Lin Yuan picked up the letter, and a few pages were sprinkled in it, which was written by Lin Xin, and what he said was nothing more than what Lin Xin saw and heard every day in Jiang's mansion, and more about missing his relatives.
Lin Yuan sighed, because Lin Yan had been avoiding, Lin Xin regarded her as an emotional sustenance.
"Wu'er, I'll ask when Mama Jiang will go back, and I'll write a letter to her to bring it to Lin Xin when I get back." Lin Yuan ordered, "Okay, you're all still hungry, let's eat." ”
It was already late for dinner, and a few maids cleaned up and set up the meal with their hands and feet.
But who knew that Lin Yuan had just sat down to eat, and he heard another person coming from the courtyard.
"The slave maid welcomes the spring and has seen the fourth lady." A girl about seventeen or eighteen years old with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in.
Lin Yuan looked at each other in confusion, she hadn't seen each other in the Lin Mansion.
"The slave maid came to the Lin Mansion with Mama Jiang, and the slave maid has a gift for you." Yingchun explained with a smile, reaching out and handing over a box that was more than a foot wide.
Another box? But it looks like it's a little lighter.
Lin Yuan's eyelids jumped, and she made a look for Xianghe to take it. She was just about to open her mouth to ask a few more words, but it was the blessing of the Spring Festival, "Mama Jiang is still waiting for the slave maid, and the slave and maid have retired." When the words fell, the man had already raised his feet and was ready to leave.
Lin Yuan looked at the girl who was in a hurry depressedly, but it was not easy to stop the other party.
Until Yingchun left the yard, Lin Yuan was still depressed, she didn't understand what her aunt and grandmother were doing. It was enough to use the previous piano as a gift, she understood what the old aunt and grandmother meant, and she just wanted her to exchange more letters with Lin Xin, so that she could unravel the other party. But what does the gift bring to the Spring Festival mean? Isn't the two gifts, one after the other, a snake in the picture?
"Miss, open it and take a look." Xianghe also frowned and was puzzled, but she was more worried in her heart, the Lin Mansion with a lot of wealth was already a mess of troubled waters, and the high-ranking Jiang Mansion was even more of a fire pit, and it should be as far away as it could be.
When Lin Yuan heard this, he opened the box, and inside was a palm-sized jade carved cat. The cat was carved very expressively, in a walking posture, on three limbs, one limb raised, ears and tail raised high, but the eyes were half-squinted, and the whole cat's demeanor was both leisurely and as if alert to something.
There is also a bag of things next to the jade carved cat, and I don't know what it is. There was also a letter, lying quietly on the satin cushion.
The puzzled Lin Yuan picked up the letter, and there was only one page, which was diametrically opposed to Lin Xin's letter before.
She read it, but her heart skipped a beat. This is Ji Zongyu's letter to her, so you don't have to think about this box that Ji Zongyu asked Yingchun to send it.
And the Xianghe on the side naturally didn't look at the master's letter, but Lin Yuan still looked at the people around him with a weak heart. When she realized that no one was paying attention to the letter in her hand, she quietly folded it, picked up the bulging bag and opened it.
"This is the osmanthus flower, and this is the plum blossom." Xianglan was the most open-mouthed, and she babbled when she saw it.
Lin Yuan frowned and looked at the bags of sun-dried petals, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
She hurriedly shook her head and suppressed the strangeness in her heart, "Xianghe, put everything into the room, let's eat." ”
Several maids glanced at Lin Yuan strangely, but they were all interested and didn't ask too much about the letter.
After lunch, Lin Yuan lay down on the bed as usual and prepared to take a nap, but a letter under the pillow seemed to be hot, so hot that her head on the pillow was not right.
Tossing and turning, she sat up in anger and reached out to take out the letter.
But subconsciously, she looked out of the door, the surroundings were very quiet, the sunlight outside was just right, spilling in through the window screen, spreading all over the ground.
Lin Yuan pricked up his ears and listened again, before he opened the letter.
"Lin Xiaosi, this cat is like you, I sent you. These petals were made by the maid in my house when she was bored, and I didn't like to use them, so I gave them to you. Don't thank me. Also, Siqi won't trouble you anymore, I'll fix it. ”
In just a few words, Lin Yuan frowned, as if Ji Zongyu was smirking and shouting "Lin Xiaosi" in front of her.
"Hmph." Lin Yuan lost her temper and dropped the letter, but then picked up the letter and carefully put it under the pillow.
After doing all this, she lay down again, and this time, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
