Chapter 119: Face-to-face
At this time, dusk is approaching, and most of the rouge gouache shops have closed. Yun Genggen had no choice but to knock on the door of the neighboring women's pavilion door in a little panic. She has always been plain-faced, and rarely needs to be greased and powdered, and now that she has been engaged to Si Linche, it is natural that she must not be sloppy when she goes to see the Lin family, at least she must leave a dignified and decent impression.
Fortunately, she is a good person on weekdays, and has a good relationship with her neighbors, but she borrowed a lot of things, so she simply tried the same, and she was bound to seek a safe one.
The woman's affairs Si Linche couldn't help, so he had to watch from the sidelines, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, just go and meet."
"You don't know, I've never been very good at handling relationships with elders," Yun Genggen paused, and then said, "Especially the elders who don't like themselves very much, and now I'm very nervous."
Si Linche knew that the Lin family treated her harshly, and because of the Xiaolin family's mother and daughter, Yun Genggen suffered a lot of grievances, so he hurriedly went over and comforted: "That's because your mother doesn't know you, and people who know you will like you, don't worry."
"Are you complimenting me?" Yun Genggeng put down the lipstick and looked at Si Linche in the mirror, the man's face was handsome, his facial features were bright and soft, even through the mirror, it didn't look like a mirror, no matter how he looked at it, he was a handsome son.
Thinking about it like this, Yun Genggen felt that he was picking up the treasure of Si Linche, and turned around to tease him and said, "That's a good compliment, two more sentences."
Si Linche smiled and flicked her forehead lightly and sat aside. looked at Yun Geng quietly and had a harmonious atmosphere of an old husband and wife.
In fact, the two of them got along like this before, but now that the two of them have decided for life, such an atmosphere makes Yun Genggen feel embarrassed, and seeing Si Linche sitting aside without changing his face, he pushed: "You go over a little."
Si Linche didn't move, looking at her gently. Yun Genggen had no choice but to lose his temper, and turned his head again and said while drawing his eyebrows:
"I have oil stars splashed on the corners of my skirt, I should change my clothes."
Si Linche felt funny when he saw her, but he was afraid that she would be tired: "It doesn't have to be so grand, just like when you saw me."
"How can it be the same, you already know what kind of virtue I am," Yun Genggen smiled: "But your mother doesn't know, I naturally still have to pretend."
Si Linche was amused by her, shook his fan in a good mood, and stopped talking.
An hour later, Yun Geng Geng finished cleaning up, and Si Linche took a carriage to the Si Mansion.
After all, the Si family is also a local person, and at night it is not like other small families to hang a lantern outside, and the Si Mansion is brightly lit from the inside out, which is very magnificent.
Yun Genggen looked at this huge mansion and was inexplicably a little stunned. Si Linche
quipped: "My lady is not afraid of heaven and earth, what is wrong now?"
"You ......" Yun Geng held back for a long time, and only said one sentence: "Don't scream."
"Snort," Si Linche patted her with a smile to reassure her: "Xiaolin's mother and daughter have all returned to the Tang family, only the mother is at home, no one will stumble on you again, don't be afraid."
Hearing that Xiaolin's mother and daughter were not there, Yun Genggeng breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the main hall with Si Linche.
"Miss Yun, please come here." The Lin family hadn't come yet, but there was a little maid waiting at the door, and Yun Genggen took a closer look, it was the person who went to Fumanlou to spread the word.
It seems that it is indeed the personal attendant of the Lin family, Yun Geng said in his heart.
The maid took two steps, and saw that Yun Genggeng had found the place where she used to sit and sat down, and then turned back and said, "Miss Yun, your seat is over there."
Yun Geng followed her gaze, and when he saw that it was the upper position, he couldn't help but doubt: "You remember wrong, right?"
The maid shook her head and smiled decently: "Miss Yun, this is the seat arranged by Mrs. Lin herself, please come over."
Yun Genggeng couldn't figure out Lin's thoughts, she had always regarded herself as an uneducated wild girl, looking down on herself, how could she arrange for herself to be on top?
"Geng Geng," Si Linche said, "Let's go over."
Yun Genggen raised his head and saw that Si Linche's face remained unchanged, so he relieved his mind and went to the seat arranged by the Lin family to do it.
The two waited for about half a pillar of incense, and Lin slowly came in with half-squinted eyes, thinking that he was lazy in the summer, and he slept in the house for a while just now before getting up.
"Mother."
"Aunt Lin." The two stood up and saluted.
Lin looked up at Yun Geng Geng this time, and saw that her face was plain, she did not wear heavy makeup, and her dress was indifferent and decent. I couldn't help but nod in my heart, and my face softened a lot.
"Sit down." Lin waved his hand, and waited for the maid on the side to bring tea before saying, "It's too hot this day, Miss Yun, let's drink some tea to cool down first."
Yun Genggen had never seen Lin speak to himself in such a kind tone, and he was very surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Lin."
"You're welcome, you haven't had dinner yet, let's have some snacks to cushion your stomach first." Lin said.
Yun Genggen didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she had to take two pieces of dim sum, the mung bean fragrance in the entrance was very amazing, the taste was soft and delicate, with a refreshing relieving heat.
[New food detected, congratulations to the host for earning five points, please keep up the good work.] The golden light flashed, and the silence in my mind returned again. Before Yun Genggen could be happy that he had an unexpected harvest, he heard Lin say on the side:
"When Ah Che lost his father, he was not very old, and at that time, I rarely worked on things on weekdays, and I didn't understand how difficult the world was." Lin opened his mouth faintly, like an oil lamp that had not been lit for too long, and even the light was faint and trembling.
"Since then, I have been trying to take over some things, and at the beginning I always made mistakes, and I was laughed at by others, so I had to stay up for several nights, sorting out lists, checking items, because this is the only way to carry this family."
"I am strict with Ah Che, because I am afraid that he will be abused for his ability like me back then, but fortunately, he is a smart and clever person like his father." Lin looked at Si Linche intently, as if he was looking at himself and her husband a long time ago.
"I think I'm having a hard time, so I hope Archer can have some smoother."
As he spoke, Lin took out a piece of jade pendant, which was glowing with soft light throughout, warm to the touch, and cumbersome and difficult to carve. It's a piece of jade that is hard to find: "This is what his father bought back then."
"Miss Yun, come here."
Lin put the jade pendant in Yun Genggeng's hand: "Now I give it to you, I hope you cherish it well."
"Auntie, this is too precious, I ......" Yun Geng was a little confused.
"Take it, I see that you like the pastries on the table very much, this dim sum chef is named Liu Hai, if you like his craft, it is good to go and learn from him."
"Yes, thank you, Auntie."
