Chapter 149: Cabinet Scholars

Lin Zuiliu suddenly thought of going to the second uncle's house for dinner today.

When she was having breakfast, another maid came over and told her that Lin Zuilu would also go with her today.

The two of them can quarrel when they meet once in a long time, and now they want to go out together, and she doesn't understand what she thinks.

To tell the truth, now Lin Zuiliu is no longer from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, although it is nothing for the two of them to go together, it is not polite to bring only one gift to the past. Her eldest lady is really slamming and calculating.

It's not a very important occasion, Lin Zuiliu didn't dress up very much, the old lady likes to be festive, she is wearing a red brocade robe today, looking beaming.

When the hour came, the Marquis of Dingyuan sent a small servant to Juliuyuan to call Lin Zuiliu, and Lin Zuiliu got up and took Cui He and the two directly out of the courtyard to the gate.

There were already a lot of people standing at the gate at this time, and the little servants around the door saw that Lin Zuiliu came out and hurriedly staggered a way to her, Lin Zuiliu looked at it, and the two people in front were talking to Mrs. Dingyuan and Lin Zuilu's mother and daughter.

Obviously, the second aunt invited her to dinner, but now these two are more active than her, the main master, which makes Lin Zuiliu cry and laugh a little.

"The eldest lady is really a neat person, she said that she would go out so soon after packing up, unlike her daughter, no one gave notice, and she almost couldn't go to see her grandmother."

Lin Zuiliu spoke in a weird manner, and Mrs. Dingyuanhou's face became a little dark in an instant, and she patted Lin Zuilu's shoulder first. Then he turned his head and looked at Lin Zuiliu with a smile.

"What did the princess say, isn't she here now? Don't make small talk at the door, it's getting late, get in the car quickly. ”

I don't know if it's because of the prejudice against her eldest mother, Lin Zuiliu always felt that her smile was extremely ugly, and the powder on her face was about to fall.

Lin Zuiliu, who felt the spicy eyes, grinned fakely, and then didn't look at them, turned around and stepped on the stool a few steps to get into the car.

"Cui He, come up quickly, I can't walk this way without you pressing my legs."

The carriage of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was not big, and what Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was thinking about was that the two sisters were on one side, just enough to sit, but she didn't expect Lin Zuiliu, a dead girl, to put on such a show, and even let the maid go up and serve together.

Lin Zuilu's face turned red with anger when she heard this, she stomped her feet with hatred, looked at Mrs. Dingyuan Hou and said coquettishly, "Mother~"

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis naturally couldn't make a decision for Lin Zuiliu, so even if her daughter was reluctant, she still waved her hand and said, "Go quickly." ”

No, Lin Zuilu had to step on the stool with a gloomy face and get into the carriage, the carriage couldn't fit one more maid, everyone looked there like stupid, Lin Zuilu has always been a lady, and it took several steps to finally go up.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit dreary.

This is naturally not for Lin Zuiliu, she reclined in the seat, chatting happily with Cui He and the two on the side as she walked, and it was very comfortable. Lin Zuilu, who was left on the side, sat quietly by herself.

She didn't want to pay attention to Lin Zuiliu in her heart, but the two of them were quiet and fine, and now Lin Zuiliu had people chatting with her, but she was left to sit quietly, no matter how she thought about it, it was a little uncomfortable.

Feeling embarrassed in her heart, Lin Zuilu immediately cleared her throat, and suddenly said in a curling voice, "Third sister, what kind of balm are you using, I smell it pretty good,"

Lin Zuiliu was talking to Cui He about the funny place, and was suddenly interjected by the annoying person, who had no patience at all, and frowned obviously on his face, and said, "I don't know, it was all arranged by the prince, and I never bought it myself." ”

She actually didn't mean to show off, but as long as she mentioned King Zhennan, it was no different from showing off in Lin Zuilu's ears.

Her face was not good, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist, and she couldn't wait to twist Lin Zuiliu as a handkerchief.

"Oh, really? The prince is really careful, my sister is not so good, every time the balm shop brings the latest to the house, and I have to pick them one by one, I am tired to death. ”

Hearing this, Lin Zuiliu's mouth was about to grin to the sky, in fact, every time Lin Zuilu showed off these things to her, she wanted to laugh.

Without taking her stubble again, the three of them walked out of Suzaku Street in a strange silence and arrived at her second uncle's mansion.

After all, the Marquis of Dingyuan is the Marquis of Dingyuan, even if he resigns and goes home, the title of Marquis is still there, and the entire Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion looks a lot more magnificent than the mansion in front of him at this time.

The second aunt, who got the news early, was waiting at the gate of the house at this time, looking very attentive with a smile on her face, and saw the carriage curtain opened, and before she had time to welcome, she first saw a face that she didn't like very much.

The first to get out of the car door was naturally Lin Zuilu.

She couldn't stand the dreary atmosphere in the carriage anymore, and now that she had finally arrived, her ass immediately left her seat, and she lifted the curtain to get out of the carriage.

When Lin Gao saw that the person who came was not Lin Zuiliu, but Lin Zuilu, whose nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, his heart was suddenly not very happy.

I wondered why she came, and she didn't wait for anyone to get out of the car, so she asked urgently, "Where is Princess Zhennan?" Is it coming? ”

He asked, his eyes still looking in.

The relationship between Lin Zuilu's mother and her eldest mother and two concubines is not very good, and now when she sees her second aunt like this, she can't help but start cursing in her heart.

It's really a small family, and there is a princess in the family, and I don't know how to get better.

There is also the little hoof in the carriage whose eyes are higher than the sky, if it weren't for her, she Lin Zuiliu would also be worthy of marrying the king of Zhennan, but now she is used to putting a princess on the shelf, which makes people annoyed to see it.

Lin Zuilu, who looked down on the east and looked down on the west, was quickly left out in the cold, Cui He got out of the carriage and turned around, reaching out to help the pretending Lin Zuiliu down.

Here, when Lin Gao's family saw Lin Zuiliu coming, he immediately ignored Lin Zuilu, raised his mouth and smiled, and said, "Eh, the second aunt is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I've been looking forward to it all morning, but I'm looking forward to it for you, I'm tired all the way, go into the house and sit." ”

said that he was about to enter the house with Lin Zuiliu.

"Second aunt, don't worry, I'll stop by to see my grandmother today, Cui He, send someone to hold the things, be careful not to break them."

set up enough shelves first, and then followed Lin Gao's into the house together.

Lin Zuilu, who was standing not far behind the empty stay, was embarrassed to advance or retreat.

Seeing that Lin Gao and Lin Zuiliu had already stepped into the door with one foot, and no one turned around to greet her, there was no way, Lin Zuilu had to stomp her feet, and followed the two into the house with hatred.

Lin Zuiliu entered his second uncle's mansion for the first time, and the second uncle's official position was not high, he was only a cabinet bachelor of the fifth grade, but he could be regarded as a small achievement.

Originally, people like the second uncle were going to be delegated to the local area, and without so many powerful people in the capital, life would be more comfortable, but Mrs. Lin was reluctant to give up her second son, so she insisted that the Marquis of Xianding Yuan find an official position in Beijing.

Now being able to sit in the position of cabinet bachelor is also unexpected by everyone.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Lin Zuiliu saw a girl wearing a light pink gauze skirt standing and watching them laugh.

Seeing her, he immediately saluted, "Princess." ”

According to her guess, this girl should be the eldest daughter of the second aunt, Lin Zuiliu's cousin Lin Zuiru.

This Lin Zuiru is also a wonderful person, she is older than Lin Zuiliu, but she is still a little younger than Lin Zuilu, the two are both eldest daughters, a big house, a second room, naturally there are many comparisons.

Lin Zuiru is not to say how beautiful he is, but he has an elegant temperament in the whole person, and he is also taught well by Mrs. Lin, not to mention proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is also quite dabbling.

Such a talented girl is famous in the Beijing circle, and with Lin Zuilu, everyone often says that Lin Zuilu is a vase behind her back, and she is useless.

When these words reached her aunt's ears, it was naturally terrible, and the status of Dingyuan Marquis was much higher than that of the cabinet scholars.

Now that she compares Dingyuanhou's daughter with such a girl from such a small official's family, it is useless for people to compare, and Mrs. Dingyuanhou, who has always been higher than the sky, is naturally unwilling.

It was at this time that the two families formed a bond.

Thinking about it like this, Lin Zuiliu suddenly rolled her eyes, smiled and broke away from her second aunt's hand holding her without a trace, pointed at Lin Zuiru with a handkerchief in her hand and said, "Ah, this is my cousin, I haven't seen her for so long, she looks more and more prominent, and she is really more and more similar to her second aunt." ”

Lin Zuiliu praised this like an elder, but she was actually a little embarrassed in her heart, but now that she is married, her status is much higher, so she should naturally show this momentum.

Sure enough, seeing Lin Zuiliu praising his daughter, Lin Gao's face smiled even happier, and he stretched out his hand to drag Lin Zuiru and boasted about himself.

The three women were suddenly boasting in the courtyard for a long time, and then an old lady in an earthy brown robe suddenly came over to the other side.

Her hair was meticulous, and her face was serious, until she saw the three of them, she showed a little smile, and asked, "Is this Princess Zhennan here?" Our old lady is in a hurry, so she called the old slave to come and urge. ”

A few people remembered that before they went to see Mrs. Lin, Lin Gaoshi patted his thigh, and said, "Hey, look at my memory, the princess didn't pour tea when she came all the way, and she even chatted in the courtyard for a long time." ”

"It's okay, let's not delay any longer, since grandmother is in a hurry, let's hurry over and have a look."

"Alas, well, well, let's hurry up and let the old lady see her good granddaughter."
