117 Polo Club
"Hear that?" Lin An took the hairpin, took a look at it and put it back in the box, and rubbed the head of the bun with his hand, but he didn't expect this guy to care about this kind of thing.
Baozi tilted his head, "I didn't understand much, but the third aunt rushed away angrily, and the fifth aunt left happily, so I could see it." ”
"Yes, I've learned to think in comparison, I'm a schooler." Sure enough, it's her son, who is only a little over five years old, and he is a little too smart.
She sat back beside the bun, still holding the box given by Shen Qianlu in her hand, and her expression became slightly solemn, "Actually, I didn't have a choice, I just chose the safest way for us." ”
"I don't really understand."
"Silly roe deer." Lin An scolded with a smile, although he felt that these words might be a little early for a bun of this age, but he was willing to ask, Lin An still replied patiently, "Did your uncle teach you to play chess?" ”
"I've taught a little, but I'm not very good at it."
"The current Lin family is like a game of chess, the two sides of this chess game are your eldest grandmother and second grandmother, each holding a black and white game. Your eldest grandmother has the identity of the Lin family's housemother and her net worth background, but it's a pity that her mother's family is too far away from the imperial city, and now the Lin family is your second grandmother's favor. Speaking of which, the two of them are evenly matched, and each wants to find a breakthrough first, eat the opponent's chess, and get the advantage of the chess game. ”
And her appearance is an opportunity to upset this balance.
"Both of them want your mother and me to use this chess piece as a breakthrough to disrupt each other's positions, as long as we play the chess game, it will inevitably involve the struggle between the two forces of the Lin family. But no matter who wins or loses in this game of chess, those of us who do chess pieces will always bear the brunt, no matter which side we stand, we will lose and lose, even if we win, the one who will benefit will always be the one who holds the chess pieces, and no one knows when the chess pieces in their hands will be used as bargaining chips to resist and give up, and it is impossible to protect themselves. So for us, no matter who we choose, as long as this game goes in, we lose. ”
Dai Xiaoyu and Shen Qianlu's thoughts were clearly revealed to Lin An, and the so-called overtures of both of them were actually just trying to provoke conflicts between her and the other party, so that they could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Lin An's words were a little obscure, and it took a lot of effort for Baozi to nod his head vaguely, "But isn't my mother still biased towards the eldest grandmother?" The mother rejected the third aunt, but accepted the eldest grandmother's things. ”
"Isn't there still your sixth uncle?" Lin An nodded the bun's small nose. After such a long time, this little nose has become erect, and when he doesn't smile with his little face, he actually feels a little more old and serious, like a little adult. There is also this frowning and thinking look, how Lin An looks at it and feels familiar, and he doesn't know who it looks like.
"I told you before, your eldest grandmother is not as scheming as the second grandmother, she can do it at most, but it is a small trick like sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, even if you get closer to her, what she wants to do can be detected at a glance, and it is easy to be guarded. But the second room is different, once there is an intention to show favor to her, she may use our plan is unpredictable, and we are likely to be involved more and more deeply. ”
In other words, Shen Qianlu is better to control than Dai Xiaoyu. Now that she has accepted the benefits of the big house, with Shen Qianlu's temperament, she must think that she wants to slap them, and she will not hit her with any bad ideas for the time being, at most, she wants to make Dai Xiaoyu hate her by getting close to her.
But on Dai Xiaoyu's side, there is a Lin Feiyu here with her. Lin Feiyu is still Dai Xiaoyu's biological son after all, he is close to himself, even if Dai Xiaoyu has any plans, he will be jealous because of Lin Feiyu.
She has chips on both sides, which is the most balanced method so far.
"Moreover, no matter what, your grandmother is the main mother after all, she can't hold down Dai Xiaoyu, but there is an old lady above. The old lady's heart is biased towards Shen Qianlu, if you want to say that the Lin family is the most powerful and should be relied on, it should be her. ”
Lin An has been back to the Lin family for so long, and she has not even seen the old lady, but her memory is very clear that the old lady of the Lin family has been vigorous and resolute since she was young, and what happened in her main hall last time can be glimpsed.
Even if Dai Xiaoyu is loved by Lin Baisheng again, the fundamental reason why the Lin family is untenable is that there is still an old lady here, and it must be better to prefer Shen Qianlu than to be in the same stream as Dai Xiaoyu.
Lin An never intended to be involved in the grievances of the Lin family, all she had to do was to keep her and Baozi's lives in this muddy water.
Baozi's head swayed from side to side, and he didn't know if he understood the truth. Estimating that it was a little difficult for him, he simply shook his head again, and simply didn't think about it, "Then mother, can I go with you in the Polo Club?" ”
"Absolutely!" Lin An touched his head, "Moreover, you can also ride your sweaty horse together." ”
"Really? That's great! ”
Baozi jumped up all of a sudden, and the doubts just now were swept away, and he was only immersed in the fantasy of a polo club, and the child's attention always shifted so quickly.
Although she could guess that the rumors about her that Lin Wanru said just now were probably Shen Qianlu who was fueling the troubles, but just now, what she wanted was the appearance of such a vigorous scenery, and she wanted everyone's attention to be on her. Only in this way can it be easier to force Lin Baisheng to open his words.
What's more, Baozi has suffered so much with her, and now she is slowly suffering.
It's time, it's time to shine!
Not long after the grocery store opened, the day of the polo club arrived, and Lin An had a hard time going out, so he went to the two shops to take a look before letting Lin Feiyu take him to the polo field.
After this delay, she and Lin Feiyu arrived a little late, but even if no one arrived, there was no shortage of talk about her in the polo club.
The polo club was organized by the Qin family, and in the polo court in Baihezhuang, it was re-arranged, the arrow targets and the like between the horse fields were removed, the polo equipment was erected, and several stands were set up next to it, so that those who did not play had a place to rest.
After a while, the polo field was already lively.
The sons and ladies of each family are all here, some have already ridden their horses and walked around the horse farm to warm up, and some are sitting in the stands and drinking and chatting lively.
Seeing that the sedan chair of the Lin family is also coming one after another, except for Lin Hongwen, the second son of the Lin family, who went to Nanping City to catch the exam, the sons and girls of the Lin family have all accepted the invitation, but now that the sedan chair has landed, they still only see the three girls they see on weekdays. The rumored one with outstanding appearance and peerless elegance didn't even see a shadow.
Lin Wanxi was the first of the three, she didn't like to be lively, but she also knew that her husband was in the officialdom, and she, as a wife, wanted to make some interpersonal plans for him, so she naturally brought Jiang Zixuan here.
Lin Wanru and Lin Wantong's sedan chair set off from Lin's house at the same time and arrived together.
On this occasion, Lin Wantong dressed up like a flower butterfly as usual, with a peach-pink Su brocade skirt, a cloak jacket of the same color, and a tasseled jade hairpin and jasper earrings on the top of her head, and the whole person was swaying.
"Hmph, sure enough, I was dressed as a peacock feather again." Lin Wanru glanced at it, rolled her eyes upward, sneered and ran in the direction of Lin Wanxi.
The people in the stands noticed the situation here, and the topic immediately changed.
However, the situation on the left and right sides is a bit different.
Most of the ladies on the right are sitting in the powerful and rich ladies, and it is rare to be surprisingly consistent that each dress is much brighter than usual, and the silk scarves in their hands are raised, all with a look of disdain.
"That fourth girl of the Lin family is really a big shelf, when the polo club was still early, there were rumors about her everywhere, and it was like praising her, now everyone is almost here, she hasn't even seen a shadow yet, and there is no second person in Pingxian who is as good at putting up a fight as her."
"But no, I've never heard of a fourth girl in the Lin family, and I don't know where it suddenly came from."
"I heard that it is a three-room house, and the limelight is about to cover the big house, you look at the eldest girl of the Lin family, Lin Wanxi, who is good and quiet, I estimate that this fourth girl is the same as Lin Wantong, they all like to show off their demeanor."
"Then people will sell it, and it sells very well, you see, the guys over there are almost staring at the racecourse door, and they can't tell what they are talking about there."
……
This sentence is true, the boy over there is indeed looking forward to it more than those young ladies.
The girls and ladies of Pingxian County have long been tired of seeing crooked banquets in large and small places, and now they have a fresh and good-looking one, how can they not look forward to it, those who gather together to drink and throw pots have no two sentences to pull up.
"I said Li Gongzi, you cast twice and look at the door, if you continue like this, you will lose the silver taels in your purse to me."
"Go and go, as if you don't want to see those four girls, who doesn't want to see good-looking women, the eldest girl of the Lin family is gentle and the three girls are beautiful, and now there are four girls, but I have heard that they are better than those three girls, I have to take a good look."
"Who knows, it hasn't appeared for so long, maybe it's rumors that are exaggerated, and I don't dare to come for fear of losing face hahaha." As the person who spoke, he still couldn't wait to shout to Qin Haoran who was not far away, "Brother Haoran, today is your Qin family's east, and this post has to be sent out from the Qin family, have you seen the four girls of the Lin family?" What does it look like, but say it to give us brothers an eye pad. ”
