Chapter Ninety-Three: Gifts
In the days of disturbances and small grinding, the midsummer passed so calmly, and it was less than a month before Lin Yingxin got married, during this time, according to the customs of this dynasty, Lin Yingxin did not go out and walk around, but stayed at home, waiting for the day of marriage with peace of mind.
"Are the other ladies in the eldest lady's home today?" Lin Yingxue asked as she gently sorted out a few sachets on the table.
"Yes." Liu Er replied softly on the side.
Lin Yingxue nodded when she heard this, as if talking to herself, and as if she said to Liu'er: "Then let's go over and have fun." ”
The autumn breeze blows into the cool courtyard, bringing in a refreshing and fragrant fragrance.
"Hey, who is wearing incense on this body, it smells so good?" Everyone's daughters have studied most of the incense, so Lin Yingling just sniffed it and knew that the fragrance that wafted in just now was not the incense that a few young ladies wore on weekdays.
Several young ladies looked at each other, smelled the fragrance in the air, and couldn't help but shake their heads, "It's not mine." ”
The same answer made several people frown, and Lin Yingxue walked into the courtyard at this time.
"Uncle...... Several sisters are also there. When she saw the people sitting in the courtyard, the bright smile on Lin Yingxue's face was obviously stagnant. Although she quickly returned to normal, anyone could tell that the person in front of her was not as happy as Fang Cai.
"Ah, Yingxue is here, come and sit!" In the entire courtyard, the most enthusiastic person was naturally the eldest lady, she hurriedly stood up and kindly pulled Lin Yingxue to sit down. As for the other people in the courtyard, except for Lin Yingxin who showed a light smile to her, the rest of Lin Yingling and the others were still talking to themselves as if there was no such person as her in the courtyard.
Lin Yingxue had long been accustomed to the attitude of Lin Yingling and the others, so she didn't feel anything, but the eldest lady was afraid that Lin Yingxue would feel uncomfortable, so she looked for a topic to chat with her with a smile, "Just now, these children are still discussing whose fragrance smells so good, why does the eldest aunt feel that this strange fragrance seems to emanate from you?" ”
As soon as the eldest lady's words came out, Lin Yingling and the others, who had originally planned to deliberately ignore Lin Yingxue, couldn't help but stop talking, and paid attention to the conversation between the eldest lady and Lin Yingxue.
And Lin Yingxue heard the eldest lady mention it, first bowed her head and smiled embarrassedly, and then motioned to Liu Er to take out a delicate sachet, "This incense is the golden phoenix incense that the Empress Dowager rewarded me with last time I entered the palace, I don't use incense much on weekdays, thinking that it would be a waste to put me around, so I wanted to take it and give it to the eldest sister......
Who would have thought that there were so many people in this courtyard, if she only gave Lin Yingxin alone, wouldn't the other girls have something to say?
The eldest lady immediately understood Lin Yingxue's embarrassing situation, and secretly regretted that she really didn't find a good topic for this mouth, so she smiled and wanted to bring the topic over quickly, "Yingxue has a heart, Hua Rong hurry up and accept the fifth lady's heart for your young lady." ”
The eldest lady ordered Lin Yingxin's personal ring, and the girl ring was also clever, and after getting the eldest lady's order, she quickly took the sachet in Liu Er's hand and retreated.
This golden phoenix incense is the famous incense of other countries for this dynasty, I heard that the princess of the first dynasty and relatives are wearing this kind of incense when they marry, the fragrance stretches all the way, endures for a long time, in addition to the royal family, if the lady wears this incense, it is really another symbol of identity.
Although this kind of thing is not uncommon to her after she and King Jing get married, Lin Yingxue did not keep such a good thing for herself, but gave it to her, which can definitely be regarded as a heart.
Because her mother was afraid that Lin Yingxue would be embarrassed, she wanted to bring this topic over quietly, so Lin Yingxin didn't show too much joy, but thanked Lin Yingxue plainly, and was ready to tear away the topic and bring this matter over.
But despite this, Lin Yingling on the side was already a little dissatisfied, she glanced at Lin Yingxue, she didn't speak, but gently bumped Lin Yingmeng who was sitting next to her with her arm.
Lin Yingmeng has always been keen to oppose Lin Yingxue, not to mention that last time in the hunting ground, she almost killed Lin Yingxue, and Lin Yingxue didn't make any moves after she came back, so she targeted Lin Yingxue more and more unscrupulously.
"Yo, the fifth sister is really good at pleasing people, I know that the eldest sister is about to marry King Jing, so I sent such a precious incense over, and we are also sisters, not to mention such a precious incense, I haven't even seen ordinary incense! What a snob! Although Lin Yingmeng said the last sentence extremely quietly, it was enough for everyone in the courtyard to hear it.
Lin Yingxue had long been accustomed to the vitriolism of Lin Yingmeng and others, but the eldest lady sank her face on the spot because of this, "Yingmeng, how are you talking?" Yingxue just didn't expect everyone to be there, and she didn't have time to prepare gifts for you all for a while, you are all sisters, how can you say that about your sister! ”
As an elder, Lin Yingmeng was still measured, and she didn't continue to talk back, but after turning her head, she couldn't help but whisper angrily: "It's just a concubine, whoever is a sister to her, even if she is a maid ring, I don't like it!" ”
Although Lin Yingmeng lowered his voice, he deliberately said it to Lin Yingxue, so everyone could still hear what Lin Yingmeng said clearly.
"Reflection ......"
The eldest lady was so angry that she was about to open her mouth to reprimand Lin Yingmeng, but Lin Yingxue quietly pressed the eldest lady's arm, and said with a just right smile: "Fourth sister, you misunderstood, such a good thing, I naturally won't hide it, but I happened to come to see the eldest aunt today, so I brought the sachet for the eldest sister by the way, as for the other sisters, I have already ordered my subordinates to send them to the courtyard of your sisters, and you will be able to see it after you go back." ”
As Lin Yingxue spoke, she glanced at Liu'er behind her, and Liu'er understood and hurriedly retreated quietly.
As soon as Lin Yingxue said this, Lin Yingmeng naturally had nothing to say, and the eldest lady saw that Lin Yingxue had come up with a way to deal with the contradiction so quickly, and she couldn't help but appreciate Lin Yingxue even more.
Because of this small friction just now, although everyone in the courtyard was still smiling and laughing on the surface, they were already unhappy in their hearts, so they dispersed after a while.
After Lin Yingxue returned to Biluoxuan, Liu Er had already finished her errands and returned to the courtyard.
"How? Is it all done? Lin Yingxue asked, her calm face without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Liu Er nodded and responded: "Miss don't worry, everything has been done according to Miss's instructions, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Liu Er has always been reliable, so Lin Yingxue is still at ease. Thinking of Lin Yingmeng's arrogant and mean face, she smiled coldly, and secretly hoped that Lin Yingmeng would like this gift she had fought for.
It was another sunny and sunny day, Lin Yingxue had nothing to do, and played a simple set of boxing techniques, until her whole body was hot and her body was slightly sweating, and then she stopped. She was about to tell Di'er to fetch water and bathe her, but at this time, a distinguished guest was welcomed outside the courtyard.
I don't know if it's because she has a marriage contract, but now Murong Jun comes to her a lot less often, and most of them enter through the main door, and even when she speaks, she is under everyone's noses, in case others misunderstand.
It's not that she doesn't think it's bad, but sometimes she feels that Murong Jun, who is so formal, seems to be a lot more distant from her.
"The Third Highness has come down." Usually not on formal occasions, Lin Yingxue was still not used to saluting Murong Jun, so at this time, she just casually greeted her, and walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.
Murong Jun naturally wouldn't mind Lin Yingxue's rudeness, he walked to Lin Yingxue's opposite him and sat down in three or two steps, and asked, "Yue'er is not here with you?" ”
"Four princesses?" Lin Yingxue was stunned by Murong Jun's sudden question, and was stunned for a moment before she replied suspiciously: "The fourth princess is not here with me, is something wrong?" ”
Speaking of this, Murong Jun showed a headache, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Yue'er sneaked out of the palace without bringing another guard, and now my father and emperor are going crazy, and they sent people to look for people in the mansion that they often go to in various months, but there is no news so far, so I came to you to take a look." ”
I see.
It's obviously a very anxious thing, but Lin Yingxue can't help but want to laugh for some reason, "Third Highness, you said that the queen and the crown prince are so quiet and calm, and the emperor, as the king of a country, is even more stable, who are the four princesses like?" ”
Like whom? It doesn't seem like anyone, but if you think about it carefully, it's very similar to the emperor and empress when they were young.
"It's probably because I'm still young, and I've been spoiled by my father and mother since I was a child, so I'm so lawless." When he said this, Murong Jun unconsciously showed a doting smile on his face.
Lin Yingxue looked at it, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.
Some people are like this, they are also born as human beings, some people have no worries about food and clothing, peace and joy all their lives, and some people are born with thorns and are not liberated until they die.
Is this fate? Maybe it's fate.
Seeing that Lin Yingxue suddenly lost his voice, Murong Jun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Yingxue, and when he saw the trace of melancholy on Lin Yingxue's face, he frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard.
"I've seen the Third Highness!" When Lin Yingmeng came over, even the pace of walking was full of joy.
The news is really well-informed, Murong Jun came to her, and before she even sat on the stool, Lin Yingmeng rushed over, was she afraid that others would not know that she liked Murong Jun?
Lin Yingxue's lips crossed a faint sneer, she sat quietly, like a blooming orchid, and the chattering Lin Yingmeng on the side was particularly noisy compared to it.
Murong Jun frowned, hiding the faint look of disgust on his face, and dealt with the enthusiastic Lin Yingmeng with as much peace as possible.
