Chapter 21: Farewell
"Sister Fang's jade pendant is fine! My sister was really scared. If the aunt's relics are really damaged, then the sister's sin will be great. Thinking of the scene just now, Lin Xizhi was still a little shocked.
Shen Man also let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yes! This is thanks to my cousin, the jade pendant is a fragile object, if it is really broken, how can it be good. ”
Luo Xinfang was still a little uncomfortable, she looked at Lin Xizhi and asked, "Sister Zhi'er, don't you really need to thank Lin Gongzi?" ”
Lin Xizhi looked indifferent and said, "It's really okay!" Sister Fang doesn't have to take it to heart at all. The first time I saw Sister Fang, he was so rude, I haven't had time to cure him for offense! ”
Luo Xinfang was a little weak-hearted. In fact, she and Lin Zimo have met three times.
Shen Lin's face was still a little pale, and she stood there for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing this, Luo Xinfang felt that Shen Lin was still guilty, so she opened her mouth to persuade her: "Sister Xiaolin, don't blame herself too much, go and change your clothes, you have been wearing wet clothes and beware of the cold." ”
Only then did Shen Lin come back to her senses, bowed and bowed again: "My sister is really ashamed of today's matter, and she will find an opportunity to come to the door to apologize another day." ”
Luo Xinfang hurriedly refused: "Sister doesn't have to be so nervous, the left and right jade pendants are still back in my hands intact, and my sister should thank Lin Gongzi instead of apologizing to me." ”
Shen Lin's eyes flickered and lowered his head.
Lin Xizhi said loudly on the side: "Since it was a false alarm, my sister took Xiao Lin to change her clothes, so I asked Xiao Man to accompany Sister Fang to go shopping." ”
Shen Man smiled sweetly when he heard this, revealing two cute dimples, "Cousin and sister, go quickly!" I know all the fun things in this garden! As he spoke, he pulled Luo Xinfang and said, "Sister Fang, don't just look at the little fruit, there is a rockery over there, let's go play for a while!" ”
"Okay, let's go, Sister Xiaoman slows down, beware of bumping into it." Luo Xinfang followed Shen Man to the other side of the pond.
Lin Xizhi saw that the two had already walked away, so she said lightly: "Let's go." There was not a hint of emotion in his voice.
Seeing her cousin's attitude so cold, Shen Lin suppressed the confusion in her heart and followed behind Lin Xizhi step by step.
After the two entered the inner room, Lin Xizhi glanced at the people waiting in the room, and said coldly: "Go down." ”
Seeing this, Shen Lin's maid Qinghe said uneasily: "Miss Biao, let's let the slave maid wait for Miss to change her clothes......
Before Qing He finished speaking, Xianglan covered Qing He's mouth and dragged Qing He out.
Only Lin Xizhi and Shen Lin were left in the huge room at this time.
Lin Xizhi looked at the figure of Qing He, who had disappeared outside the door, and said mockingly: "The maid is as stupid as the master. ”
Shen Lin was a little embarrassed, but her cousin was not something she could provoke, so she could only smile reluctantly and said, "Why did my cousin say this?" ”
A sneer escaped from the corner of Lin Xizhi's mouth.
"Shen Lin, are you stupid in front of others?" Lin Xizhi's eyes are thousands of miles away, like snow that can't be melted in the cold winter.
This gaze caused a chill to rise all around Shen Lin's body for no reason.
Shen Lin forced himself to calm down and said, "Cousin, I don't understand what you're saying. ”
Lin Xizhi sneered and said, "You don't understand? Do you want me to call my eldest brother to confront him? ”
Shen Lin was shocked and said, "Cousin, it's okay if you count me down for no reason, but what does this have to do with my cousin?" ”
"Oh? Is it? You don't seem to know how powerful my big brother is. Lin Xizhi stared at Shen Lin's face and said word by word: "My eldest brother is excellent in martial arts, if someone is eyeing him, it shouldn't be difficult for him to notice that person." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lin's face suddenly turned bloodless.
"Shen Lin, I didn't even see that your heart is so big on weekdays." Lin Xizhi's eyes were full of disdain when she looked at the person in front of her.
"Cousin, I ......" Shen Lin bit her lip and tried to justify.
"Don't call me cousin, I don't have a shameless cousin like you." Lin Xizhi looked away from Shen Lin's face and sneered coldly: "It's up to you? Dare to hit my big brother's idea too? Don't look at yourself if you're worthy! ”
Shen Lin lowered his head, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Lin Xizhi's words just stabbed her in the sore spot.
For so many years, the highest official position in the Shen family was her grandfather, Shen Wanshan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Shen Wanshan has two sons-in-law, a daughter-in-law, the daughter is married to the imperial master, and the eldest son is a Jinshi and now serves in the Yushitai.
And her father, Shen Wanshan's second son, is a man who can't do anything. Shen Wanshan had no choice, so he donated an idle official to his second son, and now her father is just helping to take care of the housework.
So in front of outsiders, she has always called herself the young lady of the Shen family, not anyone's daughter.
She hated being looked down upon the most in her life.
At this time, every word and sentence Lin Xizhi said reminded her that she was actually nothing.
"When you're done changing, you can go back. I will tell my mother everything about today. Lin Xizhi didn't look at Shen Lin again, turned around and walked out of the door of the room.
Shen Lin's hands clenched into fists.
Is that what she wants? She was also forced to be helpless!
In order to get ahead, their father had to force the two sisters to enter the palace draft. But with her family background, even if she is elected to the palace, will she not be rubbed and flattened in the future?
If you can't choose it, those high-ranking disciples will definitely not look down on the daughter of an idle official.
She is not willing to live a mediocre life like this!
Shen Lin's heart was surging with monstrous hatred, she hated her mediocre and incompetent father, hated Lin Xizhi, who looked down on her, and hated Luo Xinfang who misunderstood her plan!
At that time, everyone was enjoying the scenery, and she was the only one who noticed a moon-white corner floating behind the rockery.
Moon white is the color that my cousin often wears.
With the thought of next month's election, she decided to take a gamble. And she was right.
It's just that Luo Xinfang noticed her movements!
If it weren't for this Luo Xinfang, she would have been rescued by her cousin by this time!
Qing He hurriedly entered the house, and when he saw that Shen Lin was still wearing the same wet clothes, he was surprised: "Why is the young lady still wearing wet clothes?" The slave asked Sister Xianglan to find a dress. ”
"No need. Let's go home. Shen Lin's eyes were gloomy.
"Huh? But the third lady ......," Qinghe hesitated.
Shen Lin said angrily: "I said to go home!" Now even you dare to disobey me? ”
Qinghe was so frightened that he trembled, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid will go and tell the coachman." ”
Shen Lin stared down at her wet skirt, and swore to herself.
She will regret it for the rest of her life to all those who stand in her way!
At this time, Shen Man didn't know that her sister had left her and was having fun in the garden.
Shen Man raised the sage high and let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.
Luo Xinfang, who was pushing the girl in the back, said helplessly: "Sister Xiaoman, beware of falling!" ”
"No, no, no! Sister Fang pushes it up again! Shen Man's crisp voice echoed in the garden.
When Lin Xizhi returned, she saw such a scene.
is obviously a sister, but her temperament is very different.
Luo Xinfang noticed Lin Xizhi standing far away, so she beckoned to her: "What is Sister Zhi'er doing, come here!" ”
Lin Xizhi saw that Luo Xinfang called her name, so she walked over and smiled reluctantly: "You two have a good time." ”
Shen Man jumped down from the stump and said with a grin: "Who let my cousin and sister go for so long!" You can't blame me and Sister Fang for not taking you to play. ”
Luo Xinfang looked behind Lin Xizhi and said, "Why don't you see Sister Xiaolin?" ”
"Xiao Lin caught a cold, she was sick, and she went home first." Lin Xizhi lowered her eyes and said.
Shen Man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "Huh? Sister is not feeling well? Leave me down and go first? No, no, my sister must be so uncomfortable that she forgot to send someone to inform me, I have to go back to the house to see her. ”
After Shen Man ran out two steps, he looked back at Lin Xizhi and said, "Hehe, Xiao Man wishes his cousin all the best, and his wish will come true!" ”
Lin Xizhi made a face and said angrily: "It turns out that you still remember that today is my cousin's birthday?" I thought you were here to play? ”
Shen Man pouted: "How can Xiao Man forget his cousin's birthday, the birthday gift for his cousin has been kept by the concierge." Xiao Man will go back first, cousin and Sister Fang, see you in the future! ”
Luo Xinfang said with a smile on her face: "Sister Xiaoman, walk slowly." ”
Lin Xizhi glanced at Shen Man, and waved her sleeves: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Shen Man grimaced at the two, and ran away without a shadow as soon as she slipped away, but she was tired of her personal maid Qingmiao.
Lin Xizhi turned to Luo Xinfang a little helplessly and said, "Let Sister Fang see the joke." ”
Luo Xinfang looked in the direction where Shen Man was far away and said, "Why do you joke about it, I really like Sister Xiaoman's cheerful temperament." ”
Luo Xinfang's words are sincere, after all, her family is old-fashioned, and it is difficult not to like a lively and active little girl like Shen Man.
Lin Xizhi saw Luo Xinfang praising Shen Man, and thought of Shen Lin in her heart, and her face turned cold unconsciously.
Luo Xinfang is not a fool, seeing that Lin Xizhi's face is different, and the Shen family sisters are in such a hurry, they also notice that there must be something strange in this.
After thinking about it, Luo Xinfang spoke: "Sister Zhi'er, I've been bothering you for a long time today, and my sister will also leave." ”
"Huh? Why is Sister Fang so anxious, it's good to stay and have a light meal. Seeing this, Lin Xizhi hurriedly stayed.
Luo Xinfang said in a sincere tone: "Don't hide it from Sister Zhi'er, Sister Fang Cai Yupei is still having palpitations now, and I have been thinking about going back to the house as soon as possible and letting the house doctor prescribe a soothing decoction, so as not to linger on the sickbed before the election, which is not beautiful after all." ”
Lin Xizhi said with some embarrassment on her face when she heard this: "It was my sister's poor hospitality that frightened Sister Fang." My sister sent my sister out of the house. He turned around and ordered, "Xianglan, go to my room and get a soothing sachet and let Sister Fang take it." ”
"Sister Zhi'er bothered." Luo Xinfang nodded, walked to the front of the mansion with Lin Xizhi, and got into the carriage.
Xianglan also rushed over at this time and offered the sachet, "Miss Luo, this is a little bit of our young lady's heart, please accept it." ”
"Sister Zhi'er is sincere, how can I not accept it." Luo Xinfang accepted the sachet with a smile and said goodbye to Lin Xizhi.
"Sister Zhi'er, there will be a period later."
"Sister Fang, walk slowly." Lin Xizhi blessed the figure in the carriage.
The carriage gradually moved away, until there was only a small black dot left in the field of vision, and Lin Xizhi instructed Xianglan: "Let's go." ”
She'll have to keep her busy in a moment.
