Chapter 10: Blossom Viewing Banquet (3)
"People have clearly rejected you, why are you still begging for nothing." I don't know if this is the first time Lin Jingshu has spoken for others.
Although he didn't have a good tone, he didn't say anything to Xin Yan, but went straight to Duan Xiaomei.
The tone is straight and hard, and it looks like Lin Jingshu's style regardless of the occasion.
She always has the ability to make the atmosphere as cold as the cold winter moon, but Xin Yan was surprised that she would actually speak for her, which made her a little flattered.
After staring at her for a while, only to notice her disdainful expression on her face and slightly reddened ears, Xin Yan felt that maybe this girl was not as aggressive as she looked. There is still a soft side to her heart.
"Sister Lin-Miss Lin, I'm not forcing anyone, I'm just a piece of kindness, I want to say that Miss Xin may have bothered to prepare some show, because she was embarrassed to show her hand when she saw Sister Sun's piano skills, so I said it, I really, really have no malice." In the end, there was a panicked expression, as if he was afraid that others would misunderstand him for ulterior motives.
It's like being afraid that others will think he has ulterior motives, so he explains repeatedly. It seems that he is afraid that Lin Jingshu will be angry, with tears in his eyes, and he looks like an innocent white rabbit.
However, the people present were all after the battle in the back house, which one is not a human spirit, Duan Xiaomei's words to deceive those young ladies who are not familiar with the world are okay, and those ladies know her thoughts at a glance.
But so what, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, as long as their daughter gets ahead and has unlimited scenery, and the others do whatever they do.
"When you lose money, you cry, you think you are made of water, so many tears can flow. The little family is angry, you are also the life of a concubine. As soon as she said this, Duan Xiaomei's face immediately changed, which was a clear mockery.
"Miss Lin, I know you don't like me, but I haven't offended you either, why do you hurt people when you say it, I know that your father's official position is high, can you insult others casually? What's the truth in this? He sat unwillingly humiliated, wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and every word and every sentence seemed to have been greatly wronged.
The others were also shocked by what she said, and it was common for children to talk about it, but what Lin Jingshu just said was indeed too heavy.
She shouldn't laugh at her identity, let alone leave a little room for others on this occasion, let alone leave a way out for herself.
Some of the original thoughts of wanting to marry the Lin family were also dispelled.
Joke, such a woman marries home, and before she can bring benefits, she will be ruined by her mouth.
In fact, the aristocracy of the northern region is not very clear about the distinction between the descendants and the concubines, and they do not attach great importance to the concept of class compared to Gyeonggi.
Although Xin Yan has doubts now, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Jingshu, and she doesn't want her to be scolded by everyone.
She straightened her dress and said apologetically: "Miss Duan, I don't think Miss Lin meant that, she is straightforward, you should not worry about her." Besides, this was caused by me, but it caused displeasure to both of you, and it is not mine. ”
"In this way, my skills really can't be compared with you, just some time ago I just got a calligraphy and painting, and the scenery in the words is the same as what I appreciated today, and the little girl gave this thing to Mrs. Xu, which is also a gesture of affection."
Before Xu could speak, Xin Yan motioned for Wei Xiaochun to fetch it.
"Hey, how can this be done, originally this watch is not performed according to my own heart, not to mention, Miss Xin has prepared a generous gift yesterday, now how can I accept it again, this is accepted, what should I become." Xu Shi hurriedly said.
She is a well-rounded person, although she has long known Xin Yan's identity, she has no intention of despising it.
What about the businessman, the one who can help her husband is a beggar, and she will treat her with courtesy. At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little dislike for Duan Xiaomei, who was stirring up trouble.
Xin Yanwan smiled and said: "It's not a big gift, the little woman knows that I am a businessman, and it is Mrs. Meng's dislike to be able to enter this flower-viewing banquet, not to mention that Mrs. Meng also said that this is just to entertain everyone, and I hope Mrs. will not refuse." ”
Xin Yan's words also brushed aside what had just happened, so that people would no longer pursue what had just happened, but some people would not want to.
"Miss Xin is really empathetic, just now I thought badly, thinking that this entertainment can only be based on talent, but I didn't expect this layer, which led to this scene, Mrs. Xu is really sorry." Duan Xiaomei had already accepted the tearful appearance just now, and turned to laugh.
However, the speed at which this change of face is truly astonishing.
"Miss Duan is also kind, it doesn't have to be like this." Xu said lightly. This look is not as close as the gentleness when talking to Xin Yan.
Xu didn't know that she was fueling the turmoil these two times, but she didn't miss any flaws, and she couldn't say anything.
"I'm here to apologize for Mrs. Xu's rudeness. I'm sorry. Lin Jingshu said.
Not only was the Xu family shocked, this Miss Lin had always looked at people with her nostrils, if it weren't for her father's identity, the Xu family really didn't want to invite this ancestor.
She also had a hunch that this flower-viewing banquet would not go well, but she never imagined that this eldest lady would apologize.
When she apologized, Xu was a little panicked.
"Where, where. Miss Lin doesn't have to worry about this. "It's rare. Xin Yan saw that Xu's smiling face was a little cracked.
But it was back to normal in an instant.
At this time, Wei Xiaochun just took the thing back, and after Xin Yan took it, he turned to present it to the Xu family, but it was not muddy at all, it seemed that this thing was not worth anything.
Xu Shi thought the same, but when she opened it, she touched the scenery above and the inscription next to it, and her eyes froze. Then it was incredulous, and then there was a hint of joy.
"This, this, Miss Xin, is this ......?"
"Yes, this is Master Wen's book "Flowers in the Cold Winter"."
At this time, not only Xu was incredulous, but everyone present couldn't believe it. The calligraphy and painting in front of me was actually painted by Master Wen.
Master Wen, whose real name is Wen Fu, is one of the best scribes in the Great Jin Dynasty who is famous for his paintings and poems.
According to legend, Wen Fu lost his father since he was a child and his family was poor, although he had great ambitions, he could not compete with the word "poor". It is said that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and her mother went out to buy shoes during the day and did needlework for large families at night for the silver taels she studied. Day after day, year after year, sick and tired, I am reluctant to buy medicine. Exhaust yourself alive.
His son was remorseful, guilty that his mother had lost her life because of the money she was going to take the exam, and vowed not to enter the government again, and lived in seclusion in the city, but a few years later he found that a widely circulated picture of a beautiful woman was actually written by him.
Later, it was learned that this beautiful picture was painted by him for his deceased mother to commemorate her mother's kindness. Thinking of his filial piety, people praised it. Send the number, Master Wen.
At the same time, a scribe with a little fame, who didn't believe that this beauty picture was as good as the rumors, worked hard to get it, but after watching it, he said to the little guy next to him: "This time is like a beautiful person, and it is really a blessing for three lives to see it today." ”
Then the scribe resigned his official name and said, "I am not even a tenth of his skill in this skill, how can I live here." So far, the reputation of gentleness has become famous, but I am still in the form of semi-seclusion, whether it is a wealthy family, or the royal relatives are invited, I will not change my heart.
All in all, his writings, you have money? You don't necessarily have to buy it. Do you have the right? It is not always possible to buy it. Do you have money and power? Sorry, you don't always have to buy it.
Although it is difficult to find, the more difficult it is, the more people rush to it, after all, "scarce things are expensive".
"This gift is so valuable." Xu said solemnly. She didn't expect that the weak woman in front of her would be such a generous gift as soon as she made a move.
"Mrs. Xu, don't be polite, the little girl is a vulgar person, this calligraphy and painting and I are really dusty, it is better to be in the hands of Mrs., at least someone can know how to appreciate it." That's the value of its existence, you say? Xin Yan talked eloquently, and a piece of mind was revealed in front of him.
To tell the truth, when she saw such a picture of flowers, it was still from the hand of Master Wen, and she couldn't help it in her heart, after all, in addition to him, she had a hobby in addition to collecting and cultivating flowers and plants, and also had a hobby of collecting calligraphy and paintings about flowers and plants. Although she felt that Xin Yan had other plans, she really loved this picture.
"Since that's the case, I'll be cheeky enough to accept it, but this must be a return gift, and Miss Xinxin can't refuse." Xu was smiling, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood.
I can't wait to show this flower picture in front of everyone's eyes, and the pride on my face is not hidden.
Everyone was soon attracted by the cold winter flowers, and in the cold winter of March, the flowers vied with each other to bloom, but there was no trace of disobedience. What's even more unbelievable is that the flowers on it are swaying in the cold wind as if they were alive.
"Look, the flower is not moving."
"Don't laugh, how can the flowers on this painting move."
"No, no, I saw it, I'm really moving!"
"It's so amazing, it's a masterpiece."
"I didn't expect this painting to be taken by Miss Xin."
Although not everyone in the crowd understands calligraphy and painting, everyone can see the magic of calligraphy and painting, so even people who don't know calligraphy and painting can feel the power.
Everyone was immersed in this beautiful scenery, only Duan Xiaomei quickly came back to her senses, and her jealousy was not hidden. This has come up with such a masterpiece. not only didn't make her ugly, but also made her appreciate Mrs. Xu, and she got face in vain, which was really annoying.
The handkerchief in his hand was ravaged by him, and it was unbearable. Xin Yan also felt this unkind gaze, turned her head to look over, and took in her jealousy and unwillingness, and even the embarrassment of her panic to cover it up did not fall into her eyes at all.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if mocking, but when she looked closely, there was nothing, she was still that gentle and elegant girl.
