Chapter 19 Visit
Early the next morning, Luo Xinfang took Yindian to the Lin Mansion.
The concierge received Luo Xinfang's post, and at a glance, he knew that this was a guest invited by his fourth lady, and hurriedly and politely welcomed people into the front hall to serve tea.
The Lin family has a huge power and talents, and the children of the Lin family not only hold important positions in the court, but also the queen of Dayan has three generations from the Lin family.
If Lin Xizhi was born a few years earlier, the person in the world of Muyi may not be the Queen Liu in the palace.
Luo Xinfang took a sip of tea, the entrance was mellow and sweet, and it was a good Lushan cloud.
Sure enough, the tea that is used to entertain guests is not ordinary. Luo Xinfang said secretly in his heart.
What Luo Xinfang didn't know was that if she wasn't a guest invited by Lin Xizhi, even a Zhongming Ding Food House like Lin Mansion would not take out a precious tea like Lushan Yunwu to entertain her.
The Lin Mansion has a total of four rooms, and now the Lin Mansion is the head of the long house, and Lin Xizhi is the young lady from the Taishi of the Long House, and her status in the Lin Mansion can be imagined.
As soon as she put down the teacup, Lin Xizhi came over with her personal maid.
"Sister Fang has been waiting for a long time." Lin Xizhi walked forward with a smile and greeted her.
Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "I just sat down and Sister Zhi'er came over, why wait for a long time." It's just that I only took a sip of this good Lushan cloud, which is a pity. ”
Lin Xizhi blinked, "Sister Fang likes Lushan clouds? I think it's too strong. When I went to my room for a while, my Junshan silver needle with a new tribute was given by the Queen Mother, and my mother gave it to me. I'll let Xianglan brew it in a while, and Sister Fang will taste it. ”
Luo Xinfang raised her eyebrows and said: "Then I have to taste and taste well, or Sister Zhi'er, you have a lot of good things here, you have to hide some, otherwise sister, I may rely on you and not leave." ”
Lin Xizhi was amused and giggled, "Sister, I still wish my sister wouldn't leave with me, and I'll take out the bottom of my box to show off in a while." This is the first time my sister has come to my house, so I took my sister around. ”
"Okay, then there is Sister Lao Zhi'er." Luo Xinfang was also quite interested, and the two of them walked around the Lin Mansion while talking and laughing.
Xianglan and Yintian followed quietly behind their master.
Along the way, Luo Xinfang took in the scenery of Lin Mansion. Different from the solemnity of Luofu, the carved beams and painted buildings of the Lin Mansion are lined up one after another, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, all kinds of precious flowers and plants compete for each other, and the eyes are full of flowers.
Luo Xinfang couldn't help but praise: "What I see in the house on weekdays are pine and cypress trees, lush forests and bamboos, which can't compare to such a good scene." There are many flowers and plants along the way that I have only seen in books, and today is really worth the trip. ”
Lin Xizhi said with a smile: "Sister Fang's words are wrong, Uncle Luo is cautious and pragmatic, and it is normal not to like these mundane things." The ones Sister Fang saw along the way were just the tip of the iceberg, and there were even more exotic flowers and plants in the garden. ”
"Then I wonder when Miss Lin will be able to open the eyes of the little girl?" Luo Xinfang laughed.
Lin Xizhi put her arm around Luo Xinfang, "Don't be in a hurry, go to my house with some refreshments first, and when Xiaolin Xiaoman comes, we will go to the garden together." ”
"Xiao Lin Xiaoman?" Luo Xinfang asked suspiciously.
"It's my two cousins, Shen Lin and Shen Man. The two of them are also going to run in next month's general election. Yesterday I only gave a post to the three of you. Lin Xizhi explained.
"Today is Zhi'er's sister's birthday, why don't you invite a few more sisters, it's better to be lively. It's hard to see each other again in the future. Luo Xinfang was a little curious.
Lin Xizhi replied with a lonely expression: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if some people on the left and right see it." ”
Luo Xinfang was stunned for a moment. This kind of Lin Xizhi is very unfamiliar, and she is like the little girl with a smile at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
However, this stunned only lasted for a moment, and in less than a breath, Lin Xizhi regained her vigorous appearance, "Oh, what did Sister Fang say about this, come into my house and drink tea!" If you want me to say Sister Fang, your luck is really good, if you come a few days late, I am afraid that the aroma of this tea will be greatly reduced! ”
Luo Xinfang made a look of disbelief, and said: "Sister Zhi'er touted Junshan Silver Needle like this, if I find that it doesn't match the truth, sister, I will ask you." ”
Lin Xizhi patted her chest and reassured, "Don't worry! It is guaranteed that Sister Fang is full of praise after tasting. ”
Luo Xinfang saw Lin Xizhi's confident appearance, and replied with some amusement: "Okay, I believe you." ”
The strange appearance of Lin Xizhi is ...... Think of it as a delusion.
The two entered Lin Xizhi's boudoir with a smile, and Lin Xizhi led Luo Xinfang to sit on the pear wood engraved chair on the side, and told Xianglan to make tea.
Lin Xizhi's boudoir is gorgeously furnished, and the furniture is all new in Beijing. Luo Xinfang raised his eyes and looked at the mirror platform, there were large and small boxes on the mirror platform, and the outermost gold-inlaid jade mahogany box was not closed, revealing a gold-inlaid gemstone butterfly hairpin.
It is an ornament of the Golden Jade Pavilion.
Luo Xinfang was embarrassed. It seems that Lin Xizhi is still the old customer of Jinyu Pavilion, but fortunately, the birthday gift she prepared for Lin Xizhi was selected from the thank you gift sent by the Li family.
Thinking of this, Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Sister Zhi'er, today is your birthday, my sister has a little gift to congratulate you on your birthday, and I hope that Sister Zhi'er will not be disgusted." I wish Sister Zhi'er a proud spring breeze and a bright future in the future. ”
After saying that, Yintian stepped forward with the brocade box, and the brocade box Yindian held it all the way, for fear of bumping into it. This will finally be able to be sent out.
"Sister Zhi'er, take a look, do you still like it?" Luo Xinfang said and handed over the brocade box.
Lin Xizhi took the brocade box and said with a smile: "This is given by Sister Fang, how can my sister not like it?" ”
Luo Xinfang nodded Lin Xizhi's little nose, "As long as your mouth is sweet, if you don't like your sister for a while, you won't exchange this gift." ”
"How? I'll take a look at it! ”
Lin Xizhi opened the brocade box with a smile, and there was a red gold title Nanzhu golden hairpin lying quietly inside.
The color of the southern pearl is warm and moist, and the color is excellent. The golden hairpin is also a fashionable filigree style, expensive and vulgar, and it looks good.
Lin Xizhi is not without such jewelry, but it is used as a birthday gift between sisters, and this hairpin is really valuable.
Lin Xizhi looked at this valuable hairpin with some surprise, and then refused: "Sister Fang, I'm just celebrating my birthday, why did you give me such a heavy birthday gift, I can't accept it." As he spoke, he handed the brocade box back.
Luo Xinfang raised her eyebrows, "Sister Zhi'er, Sister Fangcai said that it will not be replaced." ”
"But this ......" Lin Xizhi looked embarrassed.
Luo Xinfang pushed the brocade box back, "It's nothing, I hit it off with Sister Zhi'er at first sight, and this hairpin will be a gift for your sister to make up for you." ”
Lin Xizhi saw that Luo Xinfang's attitude was resolute, and it would not be beautiful for her to refuse again, so she smiled coquettishly and said, "Then thank Sister Fang for her kindness." ”
"That's right, hurry up and let my sister see it." Luo Xinfang urged.
Lin Xizhi smiled knowingly, and immediately took off the step shake she wore in her hair, and put the golden hairpin given by Luo Xinfang in her hair.
Nanzhu shines on the girl's sideburns, lining those smart eyes like stars.
Luo Xinfang looked at it with satisfaction and said: "I think Sister Zhi'er must look good when she wears this hairpin, and it is really in vain that I have chosen it for so long." ”
"Sister Fang's eyes are so good, my sister is wearing it today." Looking at the beautiful face like a flower in the mirror, Lin Xizhi's tone was also dyed with a bit of cheerfulness.
At this time, Xianglan came over and served tea, and said, "Miss, the porter has come to report that the two cousins have arrived." ”
Lin Xizhi got up when she heard this, "Sister Fang is here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”
"You go and get busy with yours, I want to take a good taste of this Junshan silver needle to see if someone is exaggerating." Luo Xinfang said and picked up the teacup.
Lin Xizhi smiled and took Xianglan to the main hall.
"Xiaolin Xiaoman, you two are really late!" Lin Xizhi looked dissatisfied.
Shen Lin smiled: "Eh, cousin, I can't blame me, it's all because Xiao Man got up late again." ”
Shen Man's lips pursed when he heard this, "Sister! You're ripping my old bottom again! And you didn't wake up early. ”
Lin Xizhi glanced at the two of them and said, "Okay, you two are half a pound and eight taels, you are equal, don't say anyone." I also invited a sister today, so don't embarrass me for a while. ”
Shen Lin thought of the extremely simple carriage he saw outside the Lin Mansion just now, and he was a little unimpressed in his heart, and asked, "I don't know whose lady my cousin invited today?" ”
Lin Xizhi glanced at Shen Lin when she heard this, "It's the young lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials." How, do you know? ”
It turned out to be the young lady of the Shangshu family?
Shen Lin smiled awkwardly, "Naturally, I don't know you, I'm just curious." ”
Shen Man's attention was on the hairpin in Lin Xizhi's hair, "The hairpin that my cousin is wearing today is really good-looking." ”
Lin Xizhi touched the round and full Nanzhu on the hairpin and said: "Xiao Man has a vision, this hairpin was given to me by the sister Fang who came to the house today." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Lin from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, Shen Lin's face changed.
Lin Xizhi secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.
She has never liked Shen Lin's high and low temperament, and she prefers the innocent Shen Man to Shen Lin. She still hasn't understood why the difference between the personalities of two people from one mother can be so big.
It's just that these two people are sisters-in-law, and it's not good for her to just ask Shen Man not to call Shen Lin, and every time she has to give Shen Fu two posts.
If it weren't for the scruples of her mother's face, she really didn't want to pay attention to this Shen Lin.
Lin Xizhi suppressed the disgust in her heart and said with a smile: "Okay, don't tell Sister Fang to wait." Let's go. ”
"Okay, okay, sister, let's go! I don't know what that sister Fang looks like! Shen Man jumped up from the rose chair as he spoke.
Shen Lin saw that her sister was so jumpy, so she said a lesson: "Why are you still like a monkey!" It's no better here than at home, Xiao Man, you are more peaceful! ”
"Got it! My sister is so long-winded! Shen Man stuck out his tongue after speaking.
Shen Lin looked at it and was a little angry, "Xiao Man! I'm going to tell Daddy when you go back like this! ”
"Ahh Cousin help! Shen Man ran and caught up with Lin Xizhi in front.
Shen Lin was angry, and also quickened his pace to keep up with the two.
