Chapter 270: Undercurrent
Lan Ruyue looked modest, but her eyes looked at Lin Qiuning, who was sitting next to her and had never said a word.
Sensing Lin Qiuning's subtle movements, Lan Ruyue smiled at the corner of her mouth, and the other sisters began to discuss the silver bracelet again.
Some people who didn't know each other also said something else in front of Lin Qiuning, which made Lin Qiuning a little unable to sit still.
"The master is really good to Sister Jiu, I also saw Laifu send shark fin bird's nest to Sister Jiu yesterday."
The twelfth aunt was too envious, although it was an unintentional move, but she forgot that there was still the mistress of the Lin family sitting next to her.
She also forgot that when she was wronged, Sister Cui shouted to Lin Qiuning and asked her to help her make the decision and help her uphold justice!
Jade, that is Lin Qiuning's nickname in Linjia Village, she and Lin Xi are childhood sweethearts, but at that time her father was a petty official in Linjia Village, and he had some right to speak in the local area, and Lin Xi was a poor jingle man back then, if it wasn't for her father's recommendation, how could he be as mixed as he is now?
Although her father has retired from his position and is enjoying his old age at home, and the rights of the Lin family are not as good as before, her father is kind to him, and he will never abandon her!
"Yes, the lord was afraid that I would work too hard, so he specially asked Laifu to send me bird's nests, I heard that those bird's nests were shipped from other places, and the lord really had a heart."
Lan Ruyue smiled lightly, immersed in happiness.
Lin Qiuning saw all this in her eyes, although she felt that Lin Xi would not abandon her, but she felt that Lan Ruyue would climb on her head if she continued like this.
Although she is the eldest lady, if Lin Xi prefers Lan Ruyue too much, the sisters below will definitely stand on Lan Ruyue's side.
She knows this group of wall grass better than anyone else.
"Sister Cui, you've been holding this tea in your hand for a long time, isn't it that my sister doesn't like to drink Longjing?"
Lan Ruyue looked at Lin Qiuning and asked with concern, Lin Qiuning came back to her senses, looking at the face reflected in the teacup, now she is old and vermilion, and she can't compare to those young people.
"Why, what I drink on weekdays is Longjing."
As she spoke, Lin Qiu Ning took a sip and put it down.
Lan Ruyue hid her face and smiled, very happy.
"That's good, this Longjing was sent by the master a few days ago, but I don't drink Longjing, if my sister likes it, I'll ask the maid to send the tea bags to my sister's house later."
These words sound similar to Lin Qiu's kindness, but doesn't the meaning of the words reveal that Lin Xi has been doting on her recently?
Lin Qiuning's body stiffened, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
She took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the corners of her mouth: "I still have a lot of Longjing sent by the master, since it is the master who gave it to the sister, the sister will keep it, don't waste a piece of the master's heart." ”
"Hey, Longjing? That's good stuff. ”
Aunt Twelve was too preemptive, but tea was a taste to her, and she didn't understand this, she only knew that they seemed to be talking about something good.
"Since Little Twelve likes it, then my sister will let the maid send it to your house later, I originally wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give it to Sister Cui."
Lan Ruyue glanced at Lin Qiuning and said slowly, except for the twelfth aunt, everyone present understood that the two of them were choking.
This seems to be harmonious on the surface, but the words are full of gunpowder.
The acquaintances had already shut up, but the twelfth aunt said vigorously.
"My sister has this kindness, and my sister understands it, but my sister also wants to remind my sister that you don't capsize."
With a warning in her words, Lan Ruyue chuckled but disagreed.
She regarded Lin Qiuning's words as angry words, and she was happy to hear what the jealous woman said.
"Thank you sister for reminding me, but it should be my sister who should be careful, right?"
Lan Ruyue said in the opposite direction, with threats and provocations in her words.
Isn't this what she is talking about carefully is the position of the eldest lady?
Even this little slut wants to steal her position as the eldest lady?
Lin Qiuning sneered: "Then I'll wait." ”
Those aunts were silent as if they didn't know anything, and it was better to talk less in this meeting now, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to offend these two people.
Now it's up to us which way the wind goes.
Lin Qiuning is the hostess of the Lin Mansion, and Lan Ruyue has been in the limelight recently, so no one is easy to mess with.
"Longjing is good, but the air is a little turbid, which makes people breathless, I'd better go back to the house first, sisters, you talk."
Lin Qiu Ning got up and nagged before leaving, this time Lan Ruyue didn't say anything else, while the others said respectfully: Sister go slowly.
After seeing Lin Qiuning leave, those people were relieved.
"Ninth sister, we are optimistic about you, it's time for the hostess of the Lin family to change."
The eighth aunt said slowly, the meaning of these words was also obvious, she chose to stand on Lan Ruyue's side.
"We are also optimistic about you, Sister Nine."
Seeing that some people were the first to coax, the others also echoed in unison.
Lan Ruyue smiled lightly and looked up.
His eyes swept to the people in front of him, with a distressed expression.
"Sisters, don't talk nonsense, Sister Cui and the master grew up as childhood sweethearts, and the position of this eldest lady has been done for more than ten years, how can it be so easy to ......"
Lan Ruyue glanced left and right, and those people immediately understood what Lan Ruyue meant.
Didn't she just admit that she wanted to fight with Lin Qiuning?
Aunt Seven smiled too brightly, with a gleam in her eyes.
"This hen will lay eggs, but our sister Cui has been with the master for more than ten years but she can't even see an egg, didn't my sister win her from this point?"
These words reminded Lan Ruyue and made Lan Ruyue happy.
"Zheng'er is the ninth sister, your best bargaining chip."
The eighth aunt and the seventh aunt glanced at each other and said slowly.
Lin Qiuning has not had a child in more than ten years since she married Lin Xi, and the concubines of the other houses have long been pregnant, but she is the only one.
They all knew that Lin Qiuning wanted a child of their own, but God didn't sympathize with her, which gave them a chance.
Among these children, Lin Xi's favorite is Lin Zheng, Lan Ruyue's child.
A fine light flashed in Lan Ruyue's eyes, and a malicious smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and when the others saw Lan Ruyue smiling, they knew in their hearts that Lan Ruyue knew what to do.
"Ninth sister, we are optimistic about you, don't be compared to Sister Cui."
Aunt Qi was too coaxed, and everyone else agreed.
Sometimes she listens to these words so much that even her own mind is confused, giving her the illusion that she can do it.
Xiang'er helped Lin Qiuning sit on the chair and gently closed the door.
"The sun outside here is really shining, madam, those aunts really dare to say it today, if there is anything to do on weekdays, you are the first to find Mrs., and now when I see that Aunt Nine is in the limelight, I will stand on Aunt Nine's side."
Xiang'er muttered indignantly, and Lin Qiu sneered.
People are like that, how can they complain?
Didn't those people stammer her like this when she was favored? She believes that Lan Ruyue is not the last, there will definitely be new loves for old loves in the future, and those wall grasses will continue to stand on the side of others.
hand, touching the flat belly, and his eyes gradually softened a little.
Yes, she finally got pregnant after following Lin Xi for more than ten years, and she was finally able to add incense to the Lin family.
"That little slut won't be proud for long, as long as I let the master know that I am pregnant with his child in my belly......"
Lin Qiuning said gently, and never put down his hand on his stomach.
She's been pregnant for a month, but there are a lot of people in this house, and if the news of her pregnancy is known to people in other rooms, maybe something will happen.
She is now betting on the child in her belly, as long as she is born a male, the Lin family will not have to fall into the hands of those sluts.
"Madam, it's been a month, when do you want to let the master know, you are not in a hurry, the slave and maid are anxious for you."
Xiang'er poured a cup of tea for Lin Qiuning, she didn't understand that she shouldn't be the first to tell the master if she had a child?
"Now is not the time, we still have a big problem living in the house."
Lin Qiu said coldly, this big trouble is naturally Chu Yu.
She admitted that Lin Xi and Hou De had done a lot of things, but she didn't want Lin Xi to have an accident.
She had met with Chu Yu, and it was definitely not an easy master to deal with.
A woman's sixth sense has always been very accurate, and if she could, she really didn't want to run into that big trouble.
Those eyes are still deeply reflected in her mind, and it makes people tremble.
The news that she has a child, let's take it a long time......
After sending Chu Yu away, she told Lin Xi that she could be less dangerous, if she let Lan Ruyue know that she was pregnant, the future would not be too easy, so she could only endure it.
Xiang'er shut up, she also knew who Lin Qiuning was talking about, and now there is a Buddha living in the mansion and she has to offer it.
Inside the annex grounds
Chu Yu's body trembled, and he suddenly sneezed.
He is wearing a lot of thick clothes in this big sun, how can he sneeze? This reminded Chu Yu of what Xiao Changge said: There are always villains scolding him behind his back.
Inside the yamen
Lin Xi hurried to this side in a hurry, and Houde had been waiting for a long time.
"My lord, are you in such a hurry to find your subordinates?"
When Lin Xi saw Hou De, he hurriedly asked, Hou De frowned and couldn't do it, but Lin Xi looked proud.
"How can you still laugh? Big things are wrong! ”
When Hou De saw Lin Xi, the first thing he said was that something was wrong, and even his body trembled.
Lin Xi also returned to his original serious appearance, Hou Deke rarely became so nervous unless he really encountered something tricky.
"Look at this first."
Hou De threw Lin Xi a piece of paper, which was given to him by Chu Yu.
Lin Xi glanced at what was written on the paper inexplicably, although it was written in the words of the Chu State, he could understand it, but he didn't quite understand the meaning.
"What is this?"
Lin Xi asked inexplicably.
"This is the method given by Chu Yu to deal with locusts, and he said a bunch of strange things today, in my opinion, he doubts us."
Hou De said sadly in his heart, if Chu Yu really found out something, then I am afraid that the things they did before would be uprooted, and the most important thing is that it would affect the people behind them.
