vs 32 When the new year is announced, it is still winter in front of the window
At this time, in Lin Yuebai's boudoir, the eldest lady watched her daughter make tea for her, and offered the mung bean cake made by herself in the Taoist temple, she just tasted it, and tears rolled down, "Child, your father has decided to do that." β
"Decided?" Lin Yuebai was stunned for a moment, she put down the teacup in her hand, and then slowly got up and approached the windowsill, the sun was shining outside, but it was still cold and abnormal, and every breath was a white mist. Her slender fingers slowly caressed the smooth window frame, which had a slight uneven wood grain, which did not prick her hand, but seemed to scratch her heart, one by one, without blood, but burning in the atrium. Lin Yuebai retracted her hand, and while stroking her heart, she said lightly: "Since my father has decided, it is also very good, as a daughter, I will do my best." β
The eldest lady became more and more sad, and her words were already a little choked: "I originally thought that the county lord of the Xishan Wang family had won the position of the crown princess, and your father should also die of this heart, but I didn't expect him to still take this road, and you are the only child in the house, but he wants to send you thereββ"
"Mother," Lin Yuebai turned around and blessed her, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "As the second lady said, this is a road to glory and wealth, and I have been supported by my parents for many years, and only in this matter can I repay the kindness of the second elder." β
"That's too rusty, kid. The eldest lady approached her and looked at this daughter sadly, since she was born, she had also complained about why she was a girl, why she could not have a child in one fell swoop, but the years flowed, and her heart and joys and sorrows were gradually touched by this little man. But since Lin Yuebai was seven years old, a monk came to tell her fortune, saying that she had a noble life and would be a mother in the future, she was really happy for a few days at that time, but after a few days, her nightmare never stopped. Lin Fengtai actually listened to the concubine's slander, saying that "nobility cannot be polluted among mortals", and forcibly sent the seven-year-old girl to the West Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, where it was rumored that the old master had cultivated and ascended to immortality. It is said that in order not to let the world pollute her natural noble spirit, it is best to be in the Taoist temple, and from then on, in addition to things in the house, or festivals, this eldest lady is spent in the Taoist temple, even the teachers who teach and take care of the subordinates, should also follow in the Taoist temple. It's just that the current master is very rigid, and he has always been unreasonable, even if it is a family member like Lin Fengtai, he doesn't take care of it, Lin Yuebai has to abide by the rules of the Taoist temple, and from the outsider's point of view, her daily life is really very clear.
"Mother," Lin Yuebai saw the eldest lady's expression, and knew that she fell into memories again, "Father thinks it is necessary to come back, you better go and serve your father, the daughter is a little sleepy all the way back, and wants to sleep, presumably the father will ask his daughter at night." β
"Well...... You rest first, I'll go and tell them to stew the bird's nest, and you can eat it in the evening. β
"Yes, congratulations to Mother. β
Lin Yuebai saluted slightly, and it wasn't until the eldest lady went out for a while that she slowly got up, and then leaned on the side of the bed and slowly closed her eyes. There was not the slightest sobbing, but the eyelashes kept fluttering, and finally the eye socket couldn't bear it, and the tears fell like beads, bit by bit, but after a while, Lin Yuebai's clothes were already soaked with her tears, but she still refused to cry at all. IN HER HAND, SHE WAS HOLDING A SMALL PENDANT THAT SOMEHOW CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE PILLOW, AND ON TOP OF IT WAS A HELLO KITTY-STYLE GOLD PENDANT.
That's right, this eldest lady of the Lin Mansion is Jin Liancheng's hard inquiry, Yao Jin's best friend, and the ex-wife of the crown prince Li Zheng, Lin Yuebai. The pain in her heart is not known how many times more than those who have already recognized and killed each other, from the hysteria at the beginning, to the fear and fear that cannot be eliminated for a long time, and then to the longing for her family, especially her daughter Yinle, almost completely crushed Lin Yuebai, who was not very strong, but she always had the idea of "I may just be a soul, but I just occupy the body of Miss Lin Mansion" in her heart: Although it may be possible to return to modern times by dying rashly, what if the real Miss Lin Mansion is killed?
The kind-hearted Lin Yuebai supported herself with such kind thoughts, and insisted on it day after day. Slowly, she liked her two personal girls, and some pitied the mother Lin who was strict on the outside but often washed her face with tears, she tried her best to play the role of a lady in the Lin Mansion, although she was often like this, she didn't dare to be discovered, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Miss, Miss," Ayuan and Ameng came back after tidying up their things, and found that their eldest lady was crying again, and the two hurriedly gathered around the bed, and asked in unison, "Is the second lady coming to bully Miss again?"
"Ah...... No, no," Lin Yuebai hurriedly sat up, and the pendant in her hand was also stuffed into the sleeve cage, she saw that the two girls were all staring at each other, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "What are you two doing, you're always afraid that I'll be bullied." β
"Miss, you don't say anything when you encounter anything, I'm terrible slave!" As she spoke, Ayuan had already prepared a basin of warm water, soaked it with a handkerchief and wrung it out, and carefully wiped the tears on Lin Yuebai's cheeks.
Ah Meng also nodded like a chicken pecking rice, stared at the round eyes and said: "That Mid-Autumn Festival, the second lady took advantage of our absence, ran in and counted you down, and took away the tea given to you by the master, you didn't even mention a word, and later the adults blamed you for not knowing the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to your father." β
Lin Yuebai was stunned, this was something that happened during the period of the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion, if she was replaced, although she would not be silent, it was estimated that it would not be much better. Thinking of this, he was also a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said, "You still remember what happened for so long." β
"Ayuan remembers that the last time I came back, the adults seemed to say that they wanted you to stay, so you wouldn't go back to the Taoist temple, but it happened that you fell seriously ill again and were sent back to the Taoist temple. Now your health is not very good, this time you come back for the New Year, I really don't know if you want to go back to the Taoist temple. β
Lin Yuebai didn't speak, she would rather go back to the Taoist temple, be quiet alone, and don't have to deal with these many faces, but what the eldest lady said just now clearly told her that if Lord Lin wants to act this time, she probably won't be able to go back. She looked at the two girls, both of whom were at the age of playing, but they wanted to spend their days with her in the boring and lonely Taoist temple, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you two talk all day long that the temple is not good here, and it is not good there." Now that you're back, if you don't have to go back, would you two be happy?"
"Naturally happy!" The two girls said in unison again, and then Ayuan added with a smile: "But we know that unless Miss gets married one day, it is impossible for us not to return to the Taoist temple." β
"I've wronged the two of you, I have been with me, a useless lady, all day long, and I haven't given you anything. Lin Yuebai walked to the coffee table, brought the plate of mung bean cake, and said with a smile, "It's still a long time before your dinner time, come and eat some, and help me pick some plump almonds in the evening, tomorrow I want to make almond cake." β
The two girls ran over happily, and while eating, they praised: "Miss, since last year's cold weather, her body has improved, and now she is more and more able to make good food." β
"These dim sum made by Miss are really 10,000 times more delicious than those of the Qilin Hall!"
Yuebai listened to the chatter of the two girls, and sat back on the windowsill, she held her cheeks and pondered, if Lord Lin really wanted to act, what should she do in the future?
