Xiaoman's death made Gaofu, which was not very lively, really depressed for a few days. Gao Xiangye went out early and returned late, busy with court affairs, and discussed late with a few staff members at night, so he rested in the study, and did not go to the two aunts' rooms. It seems that overnight, I lost interest in women.

Lost interest in women?

Lin Xi felt that this sound a little evil. A strong, high-position, jade tree in the wind, ** suave man suddenly is not good for women, it means that if it is not a man's physical and psychological problems, it must be that the women in the house are not attractive to him.

Lin Xi is very kind to think that Gaofu needs to add a fourth room and a fifth room.

The old lady, the old lady has rarely walked around in front of people. Basically negligible.

The three young masters were busy with their master's homework during the day and their homework in bed at night, so they had no energy to care about other things.

The lady lay on the bed humming and recuperating. The two aunts hummed and complained that the old man did not go to the inner house, and there was no jealous man, and he looked safe for a while. There are only many small actions in private, and Lin Xi is too lazy to inquire, and he doesn't want to inquire.

The expressions of the four young ladies were also sorrowful, and even the quarrels were three points less than usual, and as soon as they dispersed their studies, they each went to the yard, and they were not very willing to move.

Lin Xi looked at the drizzle that had been falling for several days, and said in his heart that the mood of the world had a lot to do with the weather.

The sun is shining, the mood is natural and comfortable, eating hemp and drinking hemp and shuang; If it rains for a few days, I am afraid that even the guard dog of Gaofu will only stare at the person when he sees someone coming, and continue to bow his head and comb his dog hair.

Lin Xi felt that this kind of weather was suitable for lying on the bed and sleeping a lot, but she didn't have such a good life.

Because the third lady's favorite red coral-inlaid gemstone golden hairpin somehow lost a gem, Lin Xi was ordered to send the hairpin to the Tongling Pavilion.

The jewelry of Mrs. Gaofu, Miss, and Aunt Gao is customized in Tongling Pavilion, the largest jewelry and jade workshop in Beijing. As his wife's confidant, Liu's mother took this oily errand without giving up. When Lin Xi used to follow Liu's mother, he often went to Tongling Pavilion, so he was familiar with the way.

Lin Xi was dressed in a green jacket, took the umbrella, stood at the main entrance of the Tongling Pavilion, looked up at the plaque, and the handwriting was good.

Walking inward, a color of jewelry and jade, neatly displayed, shining with an attractive luster.

When the guy saw that it was Lin Xi, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled the shopkeeper's clothes, and the shopkeeper put down the account book in his hand and stepped forward to greet him familiarly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Lin here, why is the girl alone today? What about Liu's mother? ”

Gaofu generations of eunuchs, not to mention the capital, looking at the world, is also rich and monstrous, all year round to the Tongling Pavilion to spend a lot of money, so although Lin Xi is a maid, the shopkeeper does not dare to be slow.

Lin Xi was overjoyed when he saw that Shopkeeper Wu showed his eight teeth as standard, and coughed deliberately: "Shopkeeper Wu, Mother Liu said that now that your things in the Tongling Pavilion are cutting corners more and more, she is reluctant to come to the door." ”

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The girl is joking." Every piece of jewelry and jade in our Tongling Pavilion is from the hands of old craftsmen, although they dare not be called ingenious Heavenly Palace, but they are also carefully made, and they dare not be sloppy at all. ”

Lin Xi's eyes fluttered, and he said with a smile: "Dare to love the shopkeeper Wu suspects that I am slandering you, let's see why?" ”

Lin Xi took out the box from the small baggage he was carrying, handed it to the shopkeeper Wu, and raised his eyebrows.

Shopkeeper Wu took the box, took out the coral hairpin inside, took a closer look, and knew that this thing must have fallen once to lose a few gems, but he smiled and said: "It's just a few gems dropped, what's so difficult about this?" Wait, girl, have a cup of hot tea, and I'll let the masters re-embed it. ”

Lin Xi smiled and said: "My young lady said that the color of the ruby on this top was a little darker, and I want to change a few brighter ones, can you look at the shopkeeper Wu?" ”

Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile: "Miss Xiangfu's vision is extraordinary, if it is brighter, this hairpin will be lifelike." Liangzi, send the things to Master Gao, and tell him that the things belong to Miss Xiangfu, so be sure to exchange them for a few good rubies. Dongzi, make a good cup of tea for Miss Lin and serve some snacks. ”

"Yes, shopkeeper!"

Seeing that things were in order, Lin Xi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, there are good jade hairpins, I want to take a look." ”

When the shopkeeper Wu heard this, he smiled and said: "A few days ago, a new batch of jade hairpins arrived, and I originally wanted to give Mrs. in the house, and Miss informed me, but it has been rainy for days these days, thinking about Mrs., Miss Jinyu-like people, and I don't want to go out." Miss Lin came today, just to pass by first, and then turn around to bring a message to Mrs. and Ladies. ”

As he spoke, he was about to lead Lin Xi to the shop.

"Shopkeeper, when you see my young lady, you turn your back, why don't you want to do business in this capital?" A shrill voice sounded behind him,

Lin Xi turned his face to look, and saw a brightly dressed woman standing at the door of the shop with a hesitant face, and the anger in her chest was bulging.

When the shopkeeper Wu saw someone coming, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he whispered to Lin Xi: "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, please take care of yourself, I have a guest to welcome!" ”

Lin Xi was about to say a few polite words, but the shopkeeper Wu had already raised his legs and greeted him.

"I'm sorry, Miss Cui'er, I'm talking to someone below, I haven't seen anyone coming, forgive my sins."

"My young lady is here in person, and the shopkeeper Wu is not ready to greet him, and this idle person should also be cleared."

"Yes, yes, yes...... Dongzi, lead Miss Lin to the back hall to drink tea. "Shopkeeper Wu should be again and again.

The woman who was called Cui'er raised her eyebrows, and the corner of her eye swept towards Lin Xi, and the disdain in her eyes was about to come out.

Lin Xi saw that the shopkeeper Wu couldn't stop nodding to the person who came, thinking that the person who came was a young lady from a high gate, but after hearing a sentence, it was the same as her, a maid.

This woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a good appearance and temperament, and she is dressed well, even if she is compared with the ladies in the house, she is not far behind.

Lin Xi was slightly startled, thought for a while, and smiled at the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be troublesome, it's difficult to get out of the house, I happened to go out for a walk, I'll pick it up later." ”

Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Lin Xi, his eyes were deep. hugged his fists and said: "Miss Lin, let's go first, and when I go back, Lao Wu will wait for the girl to pick up the things!" Dongzi, send Miss Lin for me. ”

Lin Xi smiled and shook his head, knotted the baggage, and wanted to go out quietly. The general and the maid in brocade clothes staggered by, but she heard her sneer in her mouth: "It's ugly!" ”

Lynsey was stunned, as if he hadn't heard it, and turned to leave.

When I walked out of the shop, I saw a luxurious ebony carriage parked at the door, surrounded by four family members and four mothers-in-law. Three maids in the same clothes, one holding an umbrella, one holding a low stool, and one opening the car door and reaching out to help the person in the car down.

What a big stance! What a big show! Whose lady is this?

Lin Xi turned her head, and before she could speak, Dongzi, who sent her out, lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion." ”

It turned out to be the Li family!

A sneer appeared on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth, her curiosity was gone, she held up her umbrella, glanced at the eldest lady of the Li family, and turned to leave.

Hmph, but that's it!

……

Lin Xi walked out of the Psychic Pavilion, turned a few corners, and turned into a small alley.

The alley is small, long, and empty.

She held an oil-paper umbrella and walked on the small stone road in the drizzle, with white walls and green tiles on both sides, and Lin Xi felt that if she was taller, her chest was more undulating, her ass was more round, and she walked more enchantingly, she would be the girl who was like a lilac and had a grievance.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi twisted and took two steps, feeling that the padded jacket on his body was a little bloated, blocking the style around him, and stomped his feet in annoyance. The heart of the style of this thing, sure enough, has a lot to do with clothes. You wear a dress as thin as a cicada's wings, you don't need to twist it, and the style is natural; If you wear a thick cotton jacket and break your waist, you will look like a bucket.

"Flutter!" A very low laugh came from behind him.
