Chapter 419: The First Meeting with Wang Yurou
Although the General's Mansion and the Lin family seem to be immobile on the surface, they are already turbulent.
As if God didn't see Lin Zhu's affairs chaotic enough, the Wang family, who hadn't shown up for a long time, sent her another invitation.
"Aunt Chang, what do you think this Miss Song wants?" After Lin Zhu read the invitation, he took it in his hand and fiddled with it. It was a birthday invitation for Song Hanyu, which said, Take this opportunity to get together with friends.
"Maybe I want to be nice to the girl." Aunt Chang also knew that Lin Zhu had no deep friendship with her, and she was always accompanied by Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan when the two met.
Lin Zhu didn't think so, when she met this half-sister before, she seemed to have a kind of nobility and arrogance in a scholarly family. For people whose status cannot be compared with him, he vaguely looks down on him.
In addition, when she heard that she had not only farmed, but also turned the fertile land into a pasture for raising cattle, she had already taught her coldly that as a boudoir woman, she should not do such low-level and lowly things.
If it weren't for Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun's face, she should be disdainful of herself. At this time, an invitation was actually sent, which really surprised Lin Zhu.
"That kind of dignified lady from a noble family, how can she want to have a relationship with a peasant girl with a low status in me, I guess she wants to use me as a foil." Lin Zhu said with some self-deprecation.
"Girl don't have to be humble, your status is much higher than hers." Aunt Chang didn't have a good impression of Wang Yurou, and naturally she did the same for her daughter.
"Hehe, whatever. For the sake of Sister Qingyan's face, I will still go. Lin Zhu put the invitation on the table and didn't put too much thought into it.
Wang's family, Wang Yurou was in the courtyard when she was not out of the pavilion.
"Yu'er, who are you going to invite, are you going to plan it?" Wang Yurou looked at Song Hanyu gently.
"Mother, don't worry. Besides, I have cousins to help, so I've got you covered. Song Hanyu took advantage of her birthday to invite some official ladies she knew after coming to the capital. It is nothing more than to expand the circle of their own contacts. So. She also takes it seriously.
"Some people come here to see your grandfather's face, and you must be entertained properly when the time comes." Wang Yurou instructed.
"I'm in my province, mother." Song Hanyu has been very happy since she knew that her father, Song Wentao, would serve in the capital. is different from following Wang Qingyan before. Now her identity can be revealed. There is no need to use the banner of the Wang family.
"However, Cousin Yeon is over, knowing that I don't like that person. It was a disappointment to invite her here. I don't know what Cousin Yan thinks, even if she helps her, she doesn't have to give face to that person in everything. Song Hanyu was very dissatisfied with Wang Qingyan's invitation to Lin Zhu.
"I heard that this Miss Lin is going to marry into Princess Changmin's Mansion in the future, and she is also Miss Sun of General Chang's Mansion now, so no matter what her previous identity was, you can't underestimate her now. If you don't like her, just maintain a superficial friendship, and you don't need to show your thoughts. ”
In the past, Wang Yurou was pampered by her parents, her thoughts were simple, and she was not very familiar with some personal interactions. But after experiencing the short life in the Lin family, she has become sleek without any worldly affairs.
"Mother, I see." Song Hanyu, under Wang Yurou's teaching, is much more mature than the average daughter's family. Therefore, in a short period of time, I have a close relationship with some ladies in the capital. And in front of Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun, she successfully concealed her contempt for Lin Zhu.
On Song Hanyu's birthday, Lin Zhu packed up and came to the door with the prepared gifts.
From the gate to the inner courtyard, Lin Zhu saw many familiar figures. It seems that there are really a lot of people who come, but I don't know whether to give face to the Wang family or the Song family. Lin Zhu thought curiously.
After a while, Lin Zhu saw Song Hanyu standing with Wang Qingyan. So he walked in their direction.
"Congratulations, Miss Song." Lin Zhu said hello to him, and asked the girl to give the prepared gift, without deliberate compliments or intimate conversations.
"Thank you, Miss Lin, for being able to appreciate it." Song Hanyu's makeup today made Lin Zhu feel amazing, the clothes made of light pink brocade reflected her delicate little face, and with simple but appropriate accessories, she was very beautiful in line with her identity.
Lin Zhu heard that Song Hanyu's mother was also a famous talent and beauty in the capital in the past, and it seems that people's genes are good.
"Xiaozhu, you're here." is different from Song Hanyu's politeness, Wang Qingyan sincerely welcomes her arrival. "It's been a long time since we've seen each other." Wang Qingyan took her hand, and suddenly the expression on her face became naughty, "Isn't it because you are preparing a dowry at home that you can't go out?" This sentence, Wang Qingyan teased in Lin Zhu's ear in a low voice.
"Sister Qingyan really likes to joke." As a best friend in the girlfriend, Lin Zhu has this kind of good thing, and people like Wang Qingyan and others must also know about it, and Wang Qingyan, Zhang Manyun and Dong Yuzhen have already discussed, what to send to Lin Zhu when the time comes.
"Cousin Yu, you still have to entertain guests here, and I will take Xiaozhu over to my little aunt." It stands to reason that although Lin Zhu is celebrating Song Hanyu's birthday, she still has to meet her mother Wang Yurou. So Wang Qingyan volunteered to take Lin Zhu forward.
On the way, Wang Qingyan talked to Lin Zhu about her little aunt Wang Yurou, including Song Wentao's current official worship of Wupin, as well as the situation of their family in Jiangnan, etc., "I heard that my aunt's family is a scholarly family, so it attaches great importance to rules and etiquette, so now my aunt always puts the rules on her lips." Then Wang Qingyan carefully described the things that should be paid attention to when meeting with Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu accepted her kindness and listened carefully. It wasn't until the two of them came to Wang Yurou's courtyard that they stopped talking about the maid's reminder, and waited for the next people to go to Wang Yurou's house to inform them of their arrival.
Lin Zhu stood in the middle of the flower hall, and after saluting, she couldn't help but look at Wang Yurou from the corner of her eyes, thinking that these years are really picking people to get old, no wonder Song Hanyu Although she has not yet grown, she is already a little beauty embryo.
"I've seen Mrs. Song." Lin Zhu is no longer the country girl who first entered the capital back then, and she has learned all kinds of etiquette rules very well. So outsiders can rarely find faults.
"Get up," Wang Yurou vividly expressed the image of a gentle mother. "Thank you for coming to the little girl's birthday banquet, you can eat and drink well in a while."
At first, Wang Yurou didn't look at Lin Zhu's face carefully, but when she raised her head, she found that Lin Zhu's appearance seemed to be seen somewhere, and she felt a little familiar.
"Miss Lin, have we met somewhere before?" Wang Yurou asked with a puzzled expression.
After Lin Zhu saw Wang Yurou, he also inexplicably felt familiar.
"I don't think so." Lin Zhu shook his head. Lin Zhu also feels this way, but it is impossible to confirm whether the two are really in a relationship based on these alone.
The two stayed here for a while, and then they got up to say goodbye. Originally, it would have been enough to let the subordinates send the two of them outside the door, but Wang Yurou also went over.
When I arrived at the door, as soon as I opened the door, a cool breeze suddenly blew over, blowing the hair that Lin Zhu scattered around my ears at once. Her little seven delicate ears were also instantly revealed.
Wang Yurou was originally behind the two, but when her eyes swept somewhere, she suddenly froze, looking stunned. (To be continued......)
PS: I was almost exhausted from physical work during the day, and one accidentally fell asleep. I didn't get up until now, sorry, it's too late.
