Chapter 404
Zhao Yu was not a righteous gentleman originally, although he was forced by Zhao Cheng to attend Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet. But when he saw so many ladies, he left behind the frustration that his previous plan had not succeeded. Ignored Zhao's suggestion to keep a low profile.
He tidied up his appearance, put on a most proud pose, and began to show his charm to many young ladies.
He has been through the flowers for a long time, of course, he knows that his so-called suave set in the Qinglou will not work here. No matter what happens to the people, these ladies are beautiful in front of people, but they are very reserved.
Therefore, although he appeared in public, he still looked like a gentleman. Not to mention, he looks like a dog, and he really fooled some people's eyes. Someone actually gave him a lot of autumn cabbage.
This made Zhao Yu feel very good. I thought that if it were these people, he would be willing to calculate for them. That country girl should stay where it's cool.
If Zhao Chengzhi said that his grandson actually left his business behind, I don't know what kind of anger Lu Dao would be.
The fact is that Lin Zhu has long been wary of the Zhao family, so he managed to see Zhao Yu's true face. And Zhao Yu didn't take Lin Zhu in his eyes at all because he was not convinced. Therefore, he didn't know what Lu Dao Lin Zhu looked like.
Although Lin Zhu is still a little short of a peerless beauty, she is also a beautiful little beauty. Coupled with the fact that she was nourished by her own special food, the previous malnutrition conditions have long disappeared.
Although the figure is still a little thin. But his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his face is like congealed fat. If you look closely, you can barely see the presence of pores on her pale little face. Of all the ladies present, she was the only one who didn't wear makeup.
However, among these rings of fat and thin, Lin Zhu is inconspicuous, so it has not attracted everyone's attention.
Besides, Lin Zhu sat in Lin Qinglan's boudoir for a while, and he also knew that Lin Qinglan also had to go to entertain guests, so. She told Lin Qinglan that she was fine. The two went out together.
The appearance of the two together naturally attracted the attention of some young ladies. After all, Lin Qinglan's status is still very high. In addition, she has a gentle temperament, and among the young ladies, she is also quite favorable.
So. Ladies and ladies who came to the meeting. They all came over to greet Lin Qinglan. And Lin Zhu was not ignored though. But compared to Lin Qinglan's popularity, she can only be regarded as a foil.
Fortunately, Lin Zhu didn't care about this. She found a gazebo and sat there. Appreciate the design of the courtyard in Linfuli, and also enjoy the ladies with flowers as a landscape.
Looking forward to it, Lin Zhu suddenly found Zhao Yu's figure. Originally, because he hated this person, Lin Zhu wanted to dodge. But after observing it carefully for a while, he found that his attention was not on his body, but his eyes were staring at Lin Qinglan's face enthusiastically.
That kind of appearance made Lin Zhu feel a chill in his heart. I thought in my heart that I must remind Lin Qinglan to guard against this disciple. lest he be deceived by his calculations.
However, where the ladies talk and chat, even if Zhao Yu's status is high, it is impossible for him to come over. Just take a look at it from afar. To go any further, it is simply impossible.
And among the many beauties, Zhao Yu finally saw a person who made his heart flutter, how could he let it go? However, in the end, considering that this is the Lin Mansion, and the relationship with the Hui'an Hou Mansion and the in-laws, he was more cautious. just asked the little guy around him to inquire about Lin Qinglan's identity.
When he learned that Lin Qinglan was the second lady of the Lin Mansion, he couldn't hold back in his heart. almost wanted to return to the Hou Mansion immediately and ask his family to propose to Lin Qinglan for him. It's just that I don't know what kind of expression Zhao Cheng will have when he talks about it to Zhao Cheng.
It's already April, and the weather is relatively warm, so everyone has changed into spring shirts, and even the colors of their clothes are bright. The ladies of all families did not want to follow their mothers or elders to listen to those church meetings or operas.
Therefore, the garden of the Lin Mansion has become a place for everyone's pastime.
Since it is a garden, a pond is indispensable. After all, as an exquisite dignitary, who doesn't have a yard of more than ten acres, the pond is the standard equipment.
It's already the season of spring flowers, and the pond is naturally full of life. The fish raised by the Lin Mansion also jumped out responsibly at this time. Provide some fun activities for everyone. For example, feeding the fish and watching their various swimming styles.
Although Lin Zhu is reluctant to approach this kind of scene, whether it is a TV series or a novel, he often mentions that he can act cheaply. But you can only follow the crowd to observe.
Walk carefully on the periphery of the pond. Lin Zhu asked Minglu and Mu Jingwen to pay attention to the situation around them. Because of this, Lin Zhu fell behind the crowd. Let Zhao Yu, who pretended to be lost, look right.
"This young lady is polite, I accidentally got lost in Xia, how to get to the West Courtyard?" Zhao Yu saw the forest bamboo in front of him, although it was not particularly beautiful, but when he looked closely, it still had a unique taste. The eyes lit up, too.
However, the little guy next to him knew Lin Zhu. Previously, the Zhao family specially sent someone to identify Lin Zhu for him. However, Lin Zhu didn't know about this matter.
Xiaowu's face changed slightly, and he quietly pulled the corner of Zhao Yu's clothes and whispered something in his ear. made Zhao Yu's face change slightly.
"My young lady is not familiar with the road of the Lin Mansion, so please ask the son to ask someone else." Lin Zhu didn't pay attention to Zhao Yu's plan, and only let Ming Lu answer on his behalf. She herself was ready to leave.
What made Lin Zhu feel fortunate was that the place where she was located was relatively open. Zhao Yu's behavior was also exposed in front of people, and there was no rudeness.
After Minglu finished speaking, Lin Zhu immediately took the lead and left. Leaving like avoiding a flood beast made Zhao Yu very faceless.
He was even more dissatisfied with Lin Zhu's ignorance. "That's what grandfather said about her? Are you not mistaken? He asked the little guy with a gloomy face.
"Young Master Sun, it's her. My aunt and grandmother sent someone to identify the little one. The little guy nodded and said.
"Hmph, it's from the countryside." Zhao Yu, who feels good about himself, is so ignored and in a very bad mood. "Although Young Master Ben can't look at her, who told her to be so ignorant. Go, let my aunt arrange it, and Young Master Ben will definitely teach her a lesson. ”
Zhao Yu was used to being stammered by those women in his house, and he was very uncomfortable with people like Lin Zhu who didn't treat him well. Lin Zhu's indifference actually aroused some of his interest.
Lin Zhu quickly returned to Lin Qinglan's side, of course, her situation just now was also seen by Lin Qinglan. "Sister Xiaozhu, what happened just now?" In order to prevent Lin Zhu from being suspected behind his back, Lin Qinglan asked in front of many young ladies.
"It's nothing, just now a son said that he was lost here," Lin Zhu smiled slightly, looked at everyone's searching eyes, and said calmly, "It's just that I don't know the road in the Lin Mansion very well, so I can't help him." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone lost interest. It's just such a simple thing, and everyone just feels very bored in their hearts. Almost immediately, no one paid any more attention to the matter.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Zhu was also relieved.
Lin Qinglan, as the master, sent a maid to point out the way to Zhao Yu, who was still standing in place. made Zhao Yu, who was not reconciled, return in vain.
In fact, Mu Qiyue also arrived at the Lin Mansion. However, he didn't want to see Lin Qingxue, so he stayed with the actual male guests all the time, and didn't walk around the Lin Mansion at all. Only stay in the west courtyard.
He was a little silent, although he also attracted the attention of some people, but they held their own identities, and not only could not understand Mu Qiyue's business, but also had some rejection. Therefore, Mu Qiyue stayed in an unnoticeable place from beginning to end.
Zhao Yu returned to the West Courtyard under the guidance of the maid. After the maid left, his face immediately turned ugly. walked to a secluded place with the little maid and cursed in a low voice, "Who does that cheap girl think she is, but she dares not to take Young Master Ben in her eyes." I want to make her look good. Isn't it just climbing to the Chang family? Even the family who has lost his official position, Young Master Ben wants to see how to give her a head out as a country girl. ”
The little guy was beside Zhao Yu and nodded vigorously.
"Let my aunt think of a way, isn't it just that she has to marry Young Master Ben? That's not easy. Zhao Yu said self-righteously. A smug face.
It was not noticed at all, that in the corners they were not paying attention to, someone had heard their conversation. The master and servant walked away on their own.
Mu Qiyue clenched his hands, and the green tendons on his arms burst out. The face is also very gloomy. He didn't expect that someone would want to design Lin Zhu. How could he bear it.
The person just now, Mu Qiyue also recognized his identity, and knew that he was the second grandson of Hui'an Hou. It's not very good. It is also known that the third lady of the Daolin Mansion, Zhao, is his aunt.
The two of them actually secretly designed to ruin Lin Zhu's innocence. Mu Qiyue was very angry.
Mu Qiyue thought for a while, he felt that he not only had to let Zhao Yu's conspiracy fail, but also let them suffer the consequences, otherwise this breath in his heart would not be able to come out.
Of course, it is also necessary to let Lin Zhu be on guard. At first, in order to avoid suspicion, Mu Qiyue didn't want to have too much contact with Lin Zhu. But the current situation can't stand him. So, he asked the little guy around him to find a way to inform Lin Zhu and tell her to be careful. He followed behind Zhao Yu carefully. Ready to sabotage their plans.
After Lin Zhu's coincidental encounter with Zhao Yu just now, he didn't want to have any intersection with this person. Therefore, even if other people gave her a lot of white eyes, she firmly followed behind Lin Qinglan and never left. (To be continued......)
