321 Dark Tide II
It is almost noon, and all kinds of delicacies, fruit cakes and cakes have already been placed in the big flower hall, and the hall is full of flowers, and a stage has been set up in the courtyard, and the little drama of the Qingyun class is babbling and singing.
Mrs. Lin was sitting on the big arhat bed in the hall, picking up a few of her favorite silver vegetables and delicate snacks, and putting them on a small plate with pink and white gold and placing them on the small kang table. Mrs. Lin ate and drank at will, leaned on the pillow to listen to the play, and detained Jiang Xiyun by her side, letting her sit on the stool beside her to serve, Jiang Xiyun was naturally pleasing everywhere, and gave Mrs. Lin snacks for a while, added tea for a while, rubbed her legs for a while, was busy and attentive to ten points. She was born delicate, and today she deliberately cleaned up, with a set of red gold and emerald heads, wearing a lotus lotus wisp gold peony embroidered satin jacket, colorful skirts, thin grease powder, a pretty face with powder, and a twelve-point well-behaved lover, a clever mouth and very good at coaxing people, Mrs. Lin smiled and groaned, obviously very useful.
The Qin family and the Wang family sat at the high table on the ground, and further on, the three sisters Lin Dongjun, Lin Dongqi, and Lin Dongxiu sit. Lin Changzheng's concubine, Aunt Bao, sat under the porch to eat and drink. Li Miaozhi stood on the Wang side, Xianglan stood behind the Qin family, Su Meiru couldn't see the figure, Mrs. Lin didn't ask, and the Wang family was naturally happy to be out of sight.
Xianglan unconsciously looked at Jiang Xiyun, only to feel as if there was a thorn in her heart, which pierced her so that she couldn't sit still. Thanks to this seemingly delicate and sweet girl, she may not be able to be a mother in the future! And this person fled with a wolf, and now he can enter the house so calmly, as if everything was just a dream, without any guilt, just coquettish and obedient, smiling again and again. Xianglan thought that she had forgotten and relieved, but now every time she looks at Jiang Xiyun, or sees her pleasing and obedient, or sees her smiling like a flower, or sees her diligent and pleasing to people, the evil waves in her heart will come in waves, full of hatred and hatred, and she can't suppress her desires, and she wants to drag her to the abyss.
Jiang Xiyun only felt that someone was looking at her, she knew that it was Xianglan, but she didn't want to look at it and didn't dare to look at it, she only glanced at the afterglow and immediately retracted it, and her heart went up and down. If she said that she didn't feel guilty in her heart, it was false, but she immediately thought that if there was no such thing, she might have married into the Lin family, Xianglan was the tiger who slept soundly on her couch day and night, and she would suffer day and night, and Chen Xianglan would fight each other, which was to make herself uncomfortable for a lifetime, her grandmother once said, "Live innocently, how many people can do it." "To be a woman for herself, she has to be ruthless to others, the so-called "dead friends are not dead and poor", she doesn't have the strength to sympathize with others, how can she ever do wrong? She didn't want to come to the Lin family this time, but she had to come. Now that the Jiang family has been in decline because of the matter of the second prince, Jiang Danyun just found a slightly decent small landlord to marry, and when she came here, it became more and more embarrassing and difficult to find, she had to come this time to please Mrs. Lin, and earn her face before and after the others, so as to solve the current problem.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyun straightened her waist again, didn't look at Xianglan anymore, and concentrated on peeling the meat and serving it to Mrs. Lin.
Xianglan turned her head and said silently three times in her heart: "Hatred is poisonous wine, don't hate, forgive, hate hurts yourself." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Qin Shi turn his head and wave to her, and walked over only to hear Qin Shi whisper: "After the play is finished, there are storytellers and hundreds of plays, but I'm afraid that it won't be finished for a while, don't stand here, you go inside to rest first, eat and drink some to cushion your stomach." ”
Xianglan smiled reluctantly: "Don't get in the way, just stand for a while." Looking up and seeing Lin Dongxiu and her eyes, Xianglan sued and came out with Lin Dongxiu, but saw the winding path, the slender window, the dark cage embroidered foil, the wind and smooth, everywhere the color of spring.
Lin Dongxiu walked to the verandah, and said: "Let's scatter outside, so that we don't have to see that little goblin arrogant, and we don't have to add to the blockage." The old lady was confused and recruited the surname Jiang. Xianglan didn't expect Lin Dongxiu to say this for her. Since she rescued Lin Dongxiu once in the mountain temple, this person has treated her with a little sincerity, although the relationship between the two is not shallow or deep, it is also harmonious, and after a long time, it is a little sincere. Wei Xianglan knows everyone's temperament and temperament, abides by their duties, and holds the heat well, even if the intersection is deep, they will never overstep it. Now that Lin Dongxiu is the wife of the Hou Mansion, in this short time, the whole person is very different from before, and his words and deeds are hidden in the domineering tendency. Xianglan thought of the four girls of the Lin family who were delicate and delicate before, frowned before speaking, and spoke bitterly with a sickly attitude, and looked at Mrs. Houfu who was now majestic and a little arrogant and decisive, and couldn't help sighing.
Lin Dongxiu took Xianglan's hand, stopped, frowned slightly, and said, "Yo, why are your hands so cold?" The face is also white like this, which makes the surnamed Jiang angry? Thanks to your clay personality, if it were me, even if I had to take care of the old lady's face, I would have to throw up my sleeves and leave a few words! ”
Xianglan shook her head, the two turned to the backyard, a few little girls were joking there, seeing that the two of them were coming, they came over to serve, and spread a large cushion with green satin on a red background on the stone bench, Lin Dongxiu asked Xianglan Dao, "I asked the maids to bring you a shawl?" ”
Xianglan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said, "No need." I felt that the bowl of hot weak tea was about to smooth out her cold and biting hatred.
Lin Dongxiu said: "Why don't you pretend to be sick and go back, I'll tell the old lady for you, what do you say about this, I feel sorry for you." ”
Xianglan's heart warmed, shook Lin Dongxiu's hand, and suddenly said: "It's okay, I have to go back later, today is a good day for the old lady, I come out of illness, the old lady will not be happy in her heart, there are still people in the Lin family who come today, and I don't know what it will be like when it spreads out." Since I have told my wife to take care of the overall situation, I must start and finish well. ”
Lin Dongxiu was stunned, and said for a while: "Okay, good, alas, it's not easy for you, no matter how much kindness you have to our family, even if everyone respects it, it can't be worth a word from the elders." ”
Xianglan laughed when she heard this: "I have stumbled over the past few years, the people are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, all kinds of twists and turns, I can't help myself, although I have achieved nothing, but I have also stretched my belly a little bigger." Before others, I was stabbed and soured by others, but I was afraid that I would be annoyed and angry, and I would immediately be sarcastic; Now, no matter how powerful the bullying is, you can accept it calmly, and if you are entangled in your obsession, you will hurt yourself after all. Yan Yan grimaced, "After today's experience, I'm afraid that I will be able to endure the turmoil more and more." ”
Lin Dongxiu sighed: "You, it's really incomprehensible, when you were a girl and made people cheap, your neck was higher than anyone else, this time you have some status, your wife and brother have supported you, but you are willing to wronged yourself, you are really a weirdo." ”
The two said something that didn't matter, Xianglan dispersed for a while, only to feel that the annoyance in her heart was almost gone, and then she entered the big flower hall, only to see Lin Dongjun, Lin Dongqi, Li Miaozhi, and Jiang Xiyun all gone. Xianglan Fu returned to Qin's side and added a glass of wine to her. Old Madam Lin raised her eyelids to look at her, and then looked away.
But said that Jiang Xiyun served Mrs. Lin once, and then went to the back room to eat, and when he went in, he saw Lin Dongjun sleeping on the big kang in the room, it turned out that Lin Dongyun asked a few old mothers who knew each other to pour a few glasses of wine, and after a while, he felt that his hair was heavy, and his heart suddenly jumped up, so he confessed and left the table to lie down in the back room. Jiang Xiyun was eating and watching the play in front of the table under the window, suddenly heard the footsteps, turned his head and saw that it was Li Miaozhi and Lin Dongqi who walked in talking and laughing.
The three of them had been friends since they were young, Jiang Xiyun stood up with a smile and said softly, "It turns out that you two are here." ”
Lin Dongqi has heard a lot about Jiang Xiyun, thinking of Xianglan, he is not very comfortable, only a few words, Li Miaozhi and Jiang Xiyun grew up together, and the love is even worse, and they can't help but be very happy, pull Lin Dongqi over, the three of them sat together, and asked the maid for a cup, and ate wine and laughed together.
After eating a glass of wine, talking and laughing, and talking about childhood anecdotes, the three of them suddenly felt intimate, and the atmosphere slowly warmed up. At this time, a maid came in and whispered to Li Miaozhi: "Third grandma, Aunt Su said that she would come over to congratulate the old lady on her birthday later, but she didn't listen to a few words of persuasion, and when she came, I was afraid that our wife would not be able to hang on her face again."
Li Miaozhi frowned, waved his hand, and said, "I know, you can go." When the maid left, she couldn't help but sigh a few more times, and said to the two people: "They are all sisters who are good friends with each other, and they don't hide them." If you want to say that my father-in-law's aunt is really a character, that mouth can make you turn black and white upside down. Pity my mother-in-law is an honest person, let her bully her mouth full of bitterness and can't speak, and rely on her own pregnancy, a single unhappy thought can instigate an accident, but she smiles happily at you on her face, so that you have nowhere to catch the handle. Now my mother-in-law trembled with anger when she heard her name, and when she saw someone later, she didn't know what she wanted. ”
Lin Dongqi said: "I have seen her once, she was born with good eyebrows, and she is still generous when she sees people, which is different from those who shrink back and shy back." ”
Li Miaozhi: "It's bad to see the world and have scheming, it's better than that play, the partial mother-in-law is still stupid, and when people are so angry that she cries, she knows afterwards that she should say and do that, hindsight, and the daylily is cold." I'm a daughter-in-law, and I can't say anything, so Su Meiru is going to calculate on my head several times and look for my husband's handle. ”
Lin Dongqi sighed and said, "It's really a scripture that is difficult to read." I'd rather my mother-in-law be like my second uncle, generous and honest. My mother-in-law is a house-filler, and she is a little picky about the children in the front room, and she is very picky about her third brother and sister, and she sees that I am not right in everything, and she always stuffs the maid in her room, and quietly asks me how much dowry I have" R1152
