Early in the morning of the second day of the eighth lunar month, Xiaobai locked the door and was about to go to Lin's house, when he turned his head and saw that under the faint light of dawn, Geely was napping in the carriage, and when he heard footsteps, Geely jumped down with a cleverness, and Xiaobai was stunned, "Young Master Lin asked you to come?" ”

Ji Li smiled: "Second Miss, the eldest young master didn't tell me, it was the old lady who was worried that you would go again, afraid that you would be tired." ”

Xiaobai gave him a roll of the eyes, jumped up, and said, "Come on!" Come on! Otherwise, Wen Juan should have said that I had asked her to wait when she walked in front of me. ”

Ji Li raised his horsewhip and said, "The second young lady is really worried in vain, the eldest lady went home last night." The eldest young master personally went to pick it up. ”

Xiaobai closed his eyes and muttered, "Call me when it's time." ”

Geely smiled, but didn't let her go to sleep in the carriage, he thought that entering the Lin family's genealogy would make Xiaobai change, it seems that there is no greed, Xiaobai, this girl, is crystal clear, and she will always know who she is.

Today is Mrs. Lin's birthday, the house has prepared a banquet early, Wen Ying Pavilion has a good banquet, and the whole garden is full, but Xiaobai feels strange, this year is not Mrs. Lin's birthday, why do you want to hold a banquet, didn't the family sit together for a meal in previous years?

Because Geely didn't dare to go too fast, so the carriage was really close to noon, and only arrived at the Lin Mansion, Guo'er had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Geely, he rushed up and waved his fist, and said while fighting: "Why is it so slow?" Do you know how many ladies are waiting to see this second lady in our family! I'll let you pick it up before dawn, why did it arrive at this time! ”

Look at her? A trace of weirdness surged in Xiaobai's heart, she jumped out of the carriage and grabbed Guo'er's hand, and said, "Good sister, don't scold auspiciousness, you also know how many things I have to prepare to welcome guests, and he also wasted so much time waiting for me." ”

Guo'er feigned anger: "Forget it, I don't dare to lose my temper with you casually today, let's go, although today is the old lady's birthday, but you are the protagonist!" The old lady wants to introduce you to the people of Quanhuicheng! ”

Xiao Bai was a little embarrassed, slightly sideways, she saw a mountain of congratulatory gifts on both sides of the gate, the most conspicuous place, there were more than a dozen large boxes, and some jade ruyi and red coral, without exception, hanging the merchant's wooden signs.

As soon as the two of them went up the steps, they bumped into Bai Lian, Bai Lian and Xiao Bai, who had not seen each other since the last banquet in the Lin Mansion, and Bai Lian left early last time, and only later learned from his father that Xiao Bai had changed and became the second lady of the Lin family. When they met again, Bai Lian really sighed that the world is impermanent, and this pheasant turning into a phoenix really exists. Her face was wonderful, she wanted to talk to Xiaobai, but she didn't know what to say, so she was embarrassed and had to ask Guo'er: "Madam asked, why haven't you replied yet." ”

Guo'er held Xiaobai's hand tightly and said, "Don't rush, isn't this coming." ”

Running across the winding covered bridge, the noise gradually became louder, the troupe had already sang, and Meiyu outside the arch saw Guo'er, so she stretched her brows, but when she saw Guo'er holding Xiaobai's hand with a big grin, she couldn't help but get angry and said, "Why are you so unreasonable to the second lady." Guo'er immediately let go of her hand, not daring to look at her, Meiyu blessed Xiaobai, and said in a regular manner: "Second Miss, the old lady and the lady are listening to the play in the pavilion, so let's go with the slave." ”

Xiao Bai sighed slightly, the beauty and flawlessness around Mrs. Lin, but Lin Wenjuan didn't dare to provoke them casually, they were not only the henchmen of Mrs. Lin, who had the highest power in the Lin Mansion, but also because they had been taught by Mrs. Lin for many years, and their manners and words had everyone's demeanor. But what is she? The second lady who was born halfway? She didn't believe it herself. But when He Meiyu said this, he would not be understood, so he said goodbye to Guo'er and Bailian and went to find Mrs. Lin.

Guo'er pouted and said, "Sister Meiyu can scare people to death with one mouth, Sister Bailian, I have to go back to Madame quickly, you can go back to the big kitchen quickly." ”

Bai Lian couldn't help but be sad, could it be that she couldn't become a master in this life unless she married someone who could change her fate?

Old Madam Lin finally waited for Xiaobai, her cold face finally smiled, and she greeted from afar: "Second girl!" Hurry up! ”

Xiao Bai smiled at Meiyu, lifted her skirt and ran, for today's banquet, she took out a skirt that she had never worn before, and now there are scrutinizing eyes everywhere, it is better to be calm than to greet awkwardly.

Lin Wenjuan spit out a grape core and said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't shout, your second girl is not used to wearing skirts, beware of falling her again, you will feel distressed again." ”

"Just your crow's mouth! Can I wrestle? Xiaobai walked up the steps in two steps, saluted first, and said: "I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." Seeing Mrs. Lin smile, she sat down on the empty stool beside Lin Zhang's side, picked up Lin Wenjuan's cup, and drank the good tea in the cup.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly beckoned Meiyu, who came from behind, to serve tea, and then said, "The store is quite busy, right?" Look at your face, how white has it become? Can you eat more for the feast later, do you hear? ”

Xiaobai took the tea handed over by Meiyu and drank it all, and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I won't be polite to you." ”

"It's not like that! Can you still not be fed when you go home? Lin Zhang feigned anger, took off a gold bracelet from his wrist, brought it to Xiaobai's hand, and said: "This was just done, you were in a hurry to leave that day, I didn't have time to give it to you, you can't do this again in the future." ”

Lin Wenjuan raised her hand and shook the other one on her wrist, and said with a smile: "I picked it, it's good, the new appearance of Weiyang Jin is called Tengluo." ”

Weiyang brocade is the oldest history in Qingguo, the most famous jewelry and garment shop, only in Haixing and Xiyue City two shops, Lin Dongyue in order to Lin Zhang and Lin Wenjuan can be different among the women in Huicheng, will regularly let Huang Bo go to these two shops to order new brochures, Weiyang brocade is so different, even if it is only a brochure with jewelry and ready-to-wear patterns, you have to order in advance.

"It's too valuable."

"I knew you would like it, and my mother said that it was too plain, not like a girl's use at all. But when I think about it, you don't like jewelry in the first place, and those bells and whistles are even less likely, and this is still in line with your temperament. Mother, what do you think of this? Am I right? Lin Wenjuan winked mischievously.

Lin Zhang was happy and said with a smile: "The two of you have a good relationship is what I want to see." Old Madam Lin also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Bai Chong Lin Zhang made a bow that only a man can do, and said with a smile: "I can't repay you for your kindness to me." This time, she didn't take off the bracelet in a hurry, the ladies present are all here to see is believing, except for some big family wives Xiaobai occasionally seen, the rest are strange.

"Then can you be a good sister to Wen Juan for life?" Lin Zhang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xiaobai nodded, turned to Lin Wenjuan and said, "Say, I have to come for a reason." Originally, she had already politely rejected Lin Wenhai, but she didn't expect Lin Wenjuan to bring words again, and she had to come.

"Look over there!" Lin Wenjuan turned her head and pointed to a girl sitting not far away, "Maybe it will be our sister-in-law in the future." ”

The girl was still the same as Xiaobai in the image, a little thin, but she looked beautiful and her demeanor was very light, she walked over slowly with her eyes down, saluted Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhang, and stood there still.

Old Madam Lin held back the smile in her eyes and said, "You take Ru Girl to play in the garden, and when the meeting starts, I will let people call you." ”

Lin Wenjuan wiped her hands, stood up and said, "I finally don't have to listen to the play, let's go, Xiaobai." ”

Chen Yinru didn't look at Lin Wenjuan, but glanced at Xiaobai, and then saluted Mrs. Lin, and went to the garden, the three of them walked side by side in the carefully decorated garden, at first no one spoke, or Chen Yinru, seeing a white peony in the flower pot, said coldly: "The white one is really beautiful, you say, isn't it?" ”

Xiaobai glanced at Lin Wenjuan inexplicably, who knew that Lin Wenjuan seemed to have a ghost in her heart, and avoided it, so Xiaobai was very embarrassed, she really didn't know who this question was asking.
