Chapter 56: Advice
Lin Yingxue sat alone in the room for a while, and suddenly heard a noise at the door, turned her head to look, but it was Di'er who poked her head out and sneaked in the door.
Seeing this, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Why do you look like a thief in your yard?" ”
"Miss, you don't know!" As she spoke, Di'er looked carefully at the outside, and after confirming that there was no one else in the courtyard, she paced to Lin Yingxue's side and asked mysteriously, "Miss, where do you guess the slave maid has gone?" ”
In fact, as early as when Di'er and Cui'er disappeared together, she already had a vague conjecture in her heart, but at this time, seeing Di'er's pretended deep appearance, she couldn't say it directly, so as not to spoil Di'er's interest.
So she had to hold back a smile, and tried to pretend to be puzzled and said, "I can't guess, Di'er, tell me quickly." ”
"Well, since Miss can't guess it, then Di'er won't sell it." Seeing that Lin Yingxue really couldn't guess, Di'er couldn't help but have a smug look on her face, "Actually, the slave maid went to follow Cui'er, and the young lady knows where Cui'er went......"
"Zhongunyuan." Lin Yingxue blurted out that she was shocked to lose her words, but when she wanted to explain again, it was too late.
She looked up at Di'er embarrassedly, and sure enough, she saw Di'er pouting and looking at her with a resentful expression, "Miss, in fact, you have already guessed it, haven't you?" The slave maid thought that the young lady was rarely confused! ”
Lin Yingxue knew that she couldn't pretend anymore, so she had to laugh wryly: "I guessed it just now......"
"What did Cui'er say to the second lady?" Lin Yingxue hurriedly changed the topic.
"The slave doesn't know." Di'er's mood fell again, "The slave didn't dare to go inside when she followed to the door of Zhongyun Courtyard, but because the second master came back later, Cui'er also quickly came out of the second lady's room......"
'Knock knock', the two were talking, and suddenly there was a knock outside the door, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head to look at the door, "Who?" She asked cautiously.
"Miss Hui, it's a slave." Outside the door was Liu'er's voice.
Liu Er has rarely taken the initiative to appear in front of her eyes. Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Di'er, but the two of them had the same doubts on their faces.
"Come in." But in an instant, Lin Yingxue collected her emotions and said to the door as usual.
As soon as the words fell, Liu Er quickly walked in from outside the door carrying a bamboo basket.
After she bent down to salute, she spoke: "Miss, the Third Highness sent someone to bring cherries and some fresh fruits to Miss." ”
The climate of the imperial city is not suitable for growing cherries, most of the cherries are transported from other places, and there are very few well-preserved, and many merchants are not willing to do this kind of loss-making business, so except for the royal family and high-ranking officials, it is not easy for ordinary people to eat this kind of thing.
It's hard for Murong Jun to be so careful, and he can think of giving her some. However, since Murong Jun can give it to her, then Murong Xun and King Jing will definitely not leave the Lin family, which will also avoid the embarrassing situation that only she has.
Lin Yingxue walked down and looked at the small green fruits, and was about to tell Di'er to wash them and divide some of them, but when she turned her head, she saw that Liu'er was still standing in place, and she didn't seem to want to retreat.
"Is there anything else?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Miss Hui, the slave is fine." Liu Er always looks like she doesn't smile on weekdays, and she has been here for so long, she hasn't even seen this girl smile.
"Huh?" It's not a big deal, so there's still something to say? Lin Yingxue stopped her movements and turned her head to look at Liu Er steadily.
I saw Liu Er bow her head and say in an emotionless tone: "The second master quarreled with the second lady today, and the mood must not be very good at this time, but the third lady has always been biased towards the second lady, and she will definitely not understand the old man's mood." As for the sixth young master studying in the academy now, he can't take care of his family's affairs...... After careful calculation, now only the young lady in the second room can comfort the master. ”
Liu Er's words were a little inexplicable, but Lin Yingxue understood what Liu Er meant at once.
- She is a concubine, and she has no status in the Lin family. If she wants to gain a foothold in the Lin family, she will inevitably have to please her father, and only Lin Zhengjie's joy and favor are the basis for her to gain a firm foothold in the Lin family and fight against several other young ladies.
A little girl was able to see the situation of the Lin family so thoroughly, and she was just right to remind her to seize the opportunity...... Lin Yingxue thought about it, looking at Liu Er's eyes becoming sharper and sharper, but Liu Er still had that unhappy and angry look.
It was as if the person standing in front of her at this moment was just an emotionless puppet, and no matter whether she liked it or disliked it, the person in front of her would not give her any response.
"When the slave is finished, the slave and the maid retire." Just as the atmosphere gradually became delicate, Liu Er quietly retreated.
Lin Yingxue looked at the figure that slowly disappeared in front of her, then looked at the basket of fruits on the table, and after muttering for a long time, she turned her head and instructed Di'er: "Go and prepare a cup with ice cubes and fresh milk." ”
"Huh? Be. Di'er didn't know why her young lady suddenly asked for these things, and after being stunned for a while, she should come down and go down quickly to make arrangements.
The summer afternoon is the hottest time, and when you wake up from a nap, the whole person is lazy and can't lift your spirits.
Lin Zhengjie pushed open the door of the study and walked in, and a chill came to his face, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
The afterglow of the quarrel with Song in the morning was still in his heart, and he sat down at the desk with some irritation, and at a glance he saw a small porcelain cup on the desk, which was covered by the lid, so he couldn't see what was inside, but there was a trace of cool air wafting out from the gap in the lid of the bowl.
Lin Zhengjie opened the porcelain lid with some curiosity, and saw that the porcelain cup was placed in small pieces, not only with ice cubes, but also with a layer of fresh goat's milk, red, green and green, which looked extremely delicious.
Lin Zhengjie's index finger moved for a while, and he hurriedly tasted a piece, and it was really refreshing to take a bite, and the coolness spread along the bottom of his heart, and the strange combination of fresh milk and fruit also had a different taste.
Lin Zhengjie nodded with satisfaction, and soon gobbled up the remaining fruits in the porcelain cup.
After eating this cup of ice, Lin Zhengjie felt that his heart was suddenly much happier.
For the next two days, after each nap, there would always be a cup of cold on the table in the study, and on the fourth day, the ice on the table was suddenly replaced by a few small snacks, which did not look like kitchen craftsmanship, but they were also crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy.
Lin Zhengjie picked up a piece of dim sum and looked at it in his hand for a long time, and finally put it down, and turned to the door and said, "Someone." ”
