Chapter 39: High and Low
Lin Wenjuan wiped away her tears, didn't want to say much about this topic, and continued to talk about the annoying wedding cake: "It's just a wedding cake, who said that a little sour taste just didn't give him the Chen family's face?" Where does the truth come from? Sure enough, she was born in a small household, and she couldn't get on the stage at all, she did this to smear my father's face, and she wasn't afraid that my father would dislike Chen Heng? ”
"Your father attaches the most importance to the students of the academy, he probably won't hate Chen Heng."
"Isn't that old woman so unscrupulous because Chen Heng has already taken enough hairpins, but the big test hasn't come yet, who knows what Chen Heng can come back from. Maybe I'll learn too much to be a master. ”
Xiao Baile was happy, "If he really becomes a master, you will be the first to die of anger." "In the first year of Lin Wenhai's admission to the school, he was eliminated because he was not qualified enough. This has become a taboo that the Lin family can't say, how proud and expectant the county magistrate is, how disappointed and frustrated he was at that time, and even Lin Wenjuan, who was not admitted to the school, was disgusted by the county magistrate for a while. Therefore, the Lin family is very interested in the students of the middle school, especially the students at the top of the list.
"I won't, anyway, I can be regarded as bringing back a scholar for the Lin family, which is a credit." She breathed a sigh of relief at the top of the tent and shouted: "Ah Chun, make tea, go to the kitchen to see what you have to eat, bring a few plates over, and Xiaobai hasn't freshened up yet, hurry up and boil water, have you made a vase, hurry up and put it over." ”
"Why are you doing so much, Ah Chun is busy coming over? That's right, what about Ah and Ah Yun? ”
Lin Wenjuan pouted and sneered: "That old woman has no one to serve the person who has to rob me, I said to buy her two girls, she still pretended to refuse to ask for it, in the past two days, Ah and Ah Yun have been taken by her every day, doing the rough work that only our mother-in-law does, thanks to the fact that I am a girl from the county magistrate's family, she doesn't dare to call me, and Ah and the mouth is the most neat and doesn't give her face, otherwise I really can't live." ”
"What did Chen Heng say?"
He didn't even show his face, what did he say? A return to the door dragged to today, or I went by myself, I was really angry, changed my return to the door, called my girl, and said that my eldest lady made a pie and let me leave as soon as possible, didn't you see her look like that at the time, sitting on the ground like a shrew, calling the neighbors around, a few people who are not long-eyed actually said that I used my identity to oppress people, it was really shameless, Ah He had to find an excuse, let us come out. ”
"Then you should go home, it's so dark in this place, what if something happens."
"I can't go home, or my mother would be worried. Don't worry, Lao Huang will be safe when he goes back. She doesn't worry about me. ”
"Then you're going to stay with me anymore?"
"What's wrong with you taking me in for a few days? I will not eat and live for nothing, but I will give it to you. She threw a money bag to Xiaobai, "This is the golden beans I used to reward people on the day I got married, there are so many left, take it." ”
Xiaobai put the money bag casually at the head of the bed and said, "You wait for me, I'll change the futon on the outside, and let Ah Chun sleep there." ”
"Go ahead, see how she moves so slowly, she's been waiting for a long time."
In the tea room, Ah Chun, who had been tired for a day, had already fallen asleep on the table, Xiaobai knew that Lin Wenjuan didn't want to drink tea or eat, but she was uncomfortable and wanted to vent, she laid out the mattress, arranged for Ah Chun to sleep, took two peaches out of the space, and went back to the bedroom.
......
The courtyard of the Chen family is a very simple two-entry courtyard, and in the past two days, Chen Heng has been locked in the study in the front yard by Chen's mother, and asked him to carefully review the books he has read a few more times, anyway, he is not allowed to go back to the bedroom. Chen Heng didn't know what had happened in the past few days, except that he could see Ah Yun during his meals every day.
Lao Huang came back in the middle of the night, no one in the Chen family fell asleep, he first went to Chen's mother's place, put down his things and replied, and then went back to the next room to sleep, Ah He has been staying in Chen's mother's room, knowing that the eldest lady went to welcome guests, he was relieved and lay down to sleep.
But after Chen's mother packed up her things, she actually went to the kitchen to get two plates, filled a plate of sauce duck and a plate of peanuts, poured a pot of apricot wine, handed it to Ah Yun, and told her that it was brought by their eldest lady from the welcome guest, and asked her to serve it to Chen Heng. I waited there at night, and waited for Chen Heng to sleep before going to rest.
Ah Yun's temperament is the most supple, so naturally he doesn't think about anything, so he takes the plate and goes over.
There was no word for a night, and sorrow and joy came together.
Lin Wenjuan didn't expect that the Chen family would really leave her aside, and after waiting for several days, no one came to pick her up, she was also dead, and she lived here in Xiaobai steadily. Except for not participating in the business of welcoming customers, she can go as far as the open space to take care of the dried turnips and cabbages.
After going up and down the mountain for a few days, running back and forth, Lin Wenjuan's depression in her heart disappeared a lot, and she could even eat an extra bowl of rice, she didn't mention Chen Heng, and no one would say more, which made Ah Chun very happy, Ah Chun didn't know anything else, as long as Lin Wenjuan could be happy and her appetite was undiminished, this was a good day.
Xiaobai doesn't care how their master and servant toss, anyway, she is familiar with this place, and it won't be a big deal. Besides, Geely also came once, sent some honey fruits and left, she also understood that the Lin family didn't know about Lin Wenjuan, so no matter if she was tossed by her, it was a manifestation of favor.
At the end of June, Ayun sent a letter, saying that Chen Heng had gone to Xiyue City, and the location of the big test on the first day of July had been changed, and the county magistrate Lin Dongyue sent a few personal servants to follow in order to let his son-in-law concentrate on the big test.
Lin Wenjuan tore the letter to shreds and said, "My dad is sticking to someone's cold ass again!" ”
Xiaobai just wanted to laugh when he heard it, don't blame Lord Lin for that, if Chen Heng really ascends to the sky in one step, won't the status of the Lin family rise with the tide?
....
It's the fifth day of the seventh month in a blink of an eye, and the news about Chen Heng is that no one will report to Lin Wenjuan anymore, anyway, she doesn't want to hear it, this anger is endless, and in two days, it will be Daughter's Day.
On normal days, this festival has nothing to do with Xiaobai, because she doesn't like these little daughters' festivals, there are many people on the street, and they sell all the things of their daughter's family, she is not interested, and the Lin family never insists on it, Lin Wenjuan will also go to other houses to make an appointment, and will not find her.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the sun is extremely hot from early in the morning. She made a lot of fairy grass noodles and cold vegetables, but there were very few pedestrians on the road, and she didn't sell a few copies.
Fortunately, there is good luck.
It was the first time Geely saw Xiaobai smile at himself like this, and his back was cold in the hot July.
"You're just in time, it's such a hot day, eat some cold powder and then leave." Xiaobai took it out with a porcelain basin containing soup and put it on the table.
Geely swallowed and bit his lip, this was to kill him.
"Don't worry, little white girl, this is a letter from the young master to you."
"If you want to say no to something, what kind of letter do you write?" Xiaobai took it, the envelope was stamped, it should be something very important.
Geely poured himself a glass of water and began to fight against the bowl of cold noodles.
Xiaobai looked at the content and was embarrassed. Lin Fu prepared to entertain an important guest on the night of Daughter's Day, invited her to take charge of the spoon, wrote a contract, and paid a deposit. In fact, this does not conflict with her itinerary, and going to the Lin Mansion is just staying in the kitchen, but Xiaobai has never cooked for anyone other than the Lin Mansion, what should I do if I mess up?
"Why don't you ask Sister Bailian to be in charge?"
"Bai Lian can't take care of it, Wen Yingge has been very busy recently, besides, where is her craftsmanship as good as a girl."
Geely saw Xiaobai's embarrassed face, thinking that before leaving, the young master had told him that Xiaobai would definitely be embarrassed, don't look at her as just a little girl, and she supports a storefront alone, in fact, she is the proudest person. If she didn't agree immediately, she would borrow it from the eldest lady.
But how to borrow the eldest lady? He really didn't understand.
