065 Reunion of the Dead
The rain is sparse and the wind is sudden, the night is short, the candles crackle three or two times, and the osmanthus fragrance takes advantage of the night to quietly fall asleep.
The rain began to fall in the middle of the night, the autumn wind swept the leaves, this night, Lin Yu'an slept exceptionally sweet, slept soundly all night, got up in the morning, and his spirit was exceptionally clear.
Qiu Nu heard the movement and hurriedly got up from the ground, Lin Yu'an couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why are you sleeping so lightly."
Qiu Nu was stunned: "The maid heard the girl turn over and couldn't sleep."
Lin Yu'an looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but think of Xianpu.
She sighed, "You're thinking about yesterday!"
Qiu Nu didn't dare to answer, since Xianpu was gone, she found that the girl was alienated from the people around her, and she was worried that if she said the wrong thing, it would make the girl unhappy.
Lin Yu'an didn't wait for her to answer, and stroked the hair around his neck: "I haven't forgotten Xianpu, I haven't forgotten all the insults, don't worry, I will never let Xianpu's incident happen again."
The corners of Qiu Nu's mouth twitched, but she couldn't say a word, when Xian Pu left, the girl's appearance was still vivid, she knew the pain in the girl's heart.
The door was gently slammed, and a red tasseled voice sounded: "Girl, is it up?"
Qiu Nu motioned to Lin Yu'an, Lin Yu'an nodded, and Qiu Nu went to open the door.
Hongying walked in with a copper basin, a cool breeze poured into the house, Qiu Nu closed the door, and went to serve Lin Yu'an with Hongying.
Hongying soaked and wrung out the handkerchief embroidered with white magnolia, and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to go to say hello today, why don't you sleep for a while?"
Lin Yu'an then remembered that Mrs. Wang was exempted from today's invitation, but she was used to getting up early, so she still woke up so early.
"If you don't say it, I'll almost forget." Qiu Nu smiled: "Since they are all up, eat first and then do other pastimes, the maid will go to see what the breakfast in the kitchen is."
Qiu Nu retreated, Hongying handed the fragrant pancreas to Lin Yu'an, after washing, Lin Yu'an sat down in front of the dressing table, Hongying took the basin and walked over, Lin Yu'an pointed to her hair, she was a little at a loss: "Girl, I'm not good at this, let's wait for Qiu Nu to come back!"
Lin Yu'an looked out the window and sat for a while, Qiu Nu came back with an octagonal red lacquer food box, walking hurriedly, and his eyebrows were displeased.
When Lin Yu'an saw it, he couldn't help but ask.
"Huang Sanniang in the kitchen, I don't know what to smoke crazy today, the maid went to get breakfast, the girl deserved a plate of crystal dumplings, a plate of flower rolls, a plate of jade bean cake, a bowl of tofu and cucumber soup, a bowl of sweet rice soup, but Huang Sanniang actually said that the girl's share has not been done, and said that the girl's aunt came, and the old lady let the dessert be served, and she had no time to make it, and scolded ......."
"Scolding what?" Lin Yu'an raised her eyebrows and asked with interest.
Qiu Nu didn't dare to say it, but it could be seen that Lin Yuan looked like she was waiting for her, and muttered in a low voice: "When the girl comes, there will be unclean people to fight the autumn breeze, which will make them uneasy in the morning."
If you don't do it, it's the person who came here to scold her, or do you scold her? Lin Yu'an was not angry, she hadn't suffered any grievances, but she had to figure out what was going on in this matter, she turned her head and instructed Hongying: "You go and inquire, what kind of aunt, what kind of people are there in the old lady."
Hongying was a clever one, nodded hurriedly, and trotted out of Xianyun Pavilion.
Seeing that Qiu Nu was still staring at the food box with wide eyes, Lin Yu'an said softly: "Okay, follow me, you will always suffer a little wretchedness, if you really love me, quickly put the food on the table and let me pad my stomach!"
Qiu Nu was just angry that Huang Sanniang deceived people too much, and when she heard Lin Yu'an's words, she was amused and laughed, and said angrily: "Girl!"
There was no soup, Lin Yu'an ate two bean cakes and a flower roll, and Hongying hurriedly ran over.
Qiu Nu smiled and threw two red-skinned plums to her: "Rest first, and then tell the girl after you have straightened out."
Hongying smiled gratefully at Qiu Nu, and after taking a breath of relief, she hurriedly said to Lin Yu'an: "Girl, what kind of lady of the Fang family, surnamed Chen, claims to be the girl's aunt, who just entered Beijing, specially came to visit the old lady, by the way, came to see the girl, and brought a girl about the same size as the girl."
The eldest lady of the Fang family, surnamed Chen.
Lin Yu'an was stunned for a long time, his fingers lightly buckled the tabletop, and suddenly realized that this Mrs. Chen was the cousin of Nanshuizhuang!
The Fang family actually entered Beijing, what is going on, Lin Yuan took two sips of tea, thinking in his heart.
Before she could figure it out, Juan'er, who lived in Yiranju, came: "Cousin, the old lady asked you to go to the main courtyard!"
In the hall where Yiran lived, Mrs. Wang was sitting in the high hall, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Mrs. Chen was sitting on the first chair of an ebony circle chair on the left side, her eyes had been wandering on the furnishings in the room, and the surprise and envy in her eyes were clear at a glance.
At her head sat a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a well-eyed eyebrow, wearing a half-moon skirt with azure pigment and a silver hairpin on her head.
Mrs. Chen was dressed in a treasure gourd dark pattern and a flower gown, took a sip of tea, I don't know if she was too anxious or restless, she choked on a sip of tea, and then coughed violently.
The girl on the side hurriedly went to help her pat her back, and Mrs. Wang asked Mrs. Chen to serve a new cup of tea again, and after a period of tossing, Mrs. Chen relieved herself, her face turned red, and she apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape." Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Mrs. Wang waved her hand to show that it was okay, and her eyes fell on the emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg on the old lady's thumb.
A maid's voice suddenly sounded outside the felt curtain: "The second lady and the third lady have arrived!"
The indigo felt curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman wearing a pipa-patterned horse-faced skirt wearing a green yellow cloud silk was the first to walk in, and when she bowed her head slightly, the three-tailed red gold phoenix hairpin on her head made a crisp sound, and the peony cloisonné flower worn around her neck was gorgeous and shining.
She was followed by a young woman wearing a pea-green fragrant cloud gauze flying flower skirt, with a dark silk waist seal around her waist, lining her waist and limbs, and the young woman was about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, a little younger than the beautiful woman before.
She has a soft halo between her eyebrows, she looks like a good-tempered person, wearing a red gold collar inlaid with mutton fat jade around her neck, and a head and face with mutton fat jade on her temples, which looks refreshing and luxurious.
Mrs. Chen secretly smacked her tongue in her heart, her Fang family is already a big family in Nanshuizhuang, but the family can't afford such food and clothing! Even the people she befriended, no one wore such a noble dress.
The Yu family and the Wei family stepped forward one after another to salute Mrs. Wang, and then nodded to Mrs. Chen to say hello, Mrs. Chen was immediately flattered, and pulled the girl next to her with a smile on her face and said, "Ladies, this is my daughter......"
Before the words fell, the maid's voice sounded outside: "The cousin girl has arrived!"
Mrs. Chen's words came to an abrupt end, a pair of eyes stared closely at the indigo curtain at the door, and a girl wearing a blue orchid-patterned feather satin cloak walked in, with a little moisture after the mid-autumn rain.
A petite maid beside her untied her cloak and hung it, revealing the crescent-colored dark lily dress she was wearing.
Lin Yu'an stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Wang, Yu and Wei one by one, and Mrs. Wang pointed to Mrs. Chen who was sitting on the side: "This is Mrs. Chen, go and salute!"
When Lin Yu'an heard this, he had a little measure in his heart. The grandmother said that Mrs. Chen was Mrs. Chen, which means that she did not recognize Mrs. Chen as her aunt.
She walked over with a smile and bowed slightly to Chen: "Mrs. Chen's makeup!"
Mrs. Chen's smile froze on her face, and Fang Xianruo on the side blurted out: "What Mrs. Chen, why did you come to the capital but become more and more uneducated, my mother is your aunt!"
Fang Xianruo, Lin Yu'an silently read the name in her heart, listening to her unceremonious scolding, a mocking smile appeared on her face.
"Auntie? These two behind me are my aunts, I don't know which aunt Mrs. Chen is my aunt? ”
Hearing this, not to mention the Yu family and the Wei family, even Mrs. Chen was stunned. Is this sharp-toothed girl really Lin Yu'an?
Fang Xianruo's words were blocked back by Shengsheng, and she was speechless.
