030 Look at each other
In Yiran House, several middle-aged women with extraordinary bearing and very particular dress sat on the ebony circle chair, Mrs. Wang sat on the ebony plum blossom circle chair in the high hall, and there was an old lady who was old but full of wealth and kindness.
In the brocade beads, Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Yu'an and smiled kindly, and before Lin Yu'an could speak, she had already opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong, your face is so ugly?"
It can be seen from the curvature of the corners of Old Madam Wang's mouth that she is in a good mood today. Lin Yu'an smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Grandmother, it's not much, just wandering around outside and coming back."
"Well, that's good." As he spoke, he turned his head and pushed Lin Yu'an in front of everyone, and several noble ladies with beads and green rings were smiling.
Old Madam Wang pointed to people one by one and asked Lin Yu'an to salute: "This is Mrs. Dongpingbo, this is Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, this is the British Duchess, and this is your grandmother Han."
Lin Yu'an saluted one by one, and when it came to the last one, Old Madam Wang's tone was obviously soft, and her gaze became more and more gentle.
Lin Yu'an immediately shouted generously: "Grandmother Han Jian'an!"
Old Madam Han smiled with wrinkles on her face, took Lin Yu'an's hand, applauded repeatedly, and turned her head to Old Madam Wang and said, "This girl is really similar to you when you were young, and she looks as good as a hibiscus in Qingshui, she is really a good girl."
Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face became deeper and deeper, and she looked at Lin Yu'an with soft eyes, Lin Yu'an couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable like a thorn, and she didn't know how she could feel like this.
However, she quickly suppressed this strange disgust in her heart, and raised a burning smile like a peach branch, and several people couldn't help but look at it twice.
Old Madam Han took off the string of round, shiny, and fine-colored tourmaline beads in her hand, and put it on Lin Yuan'an's wrist.
The elder couldn't say goodbye, Lin Yu'an smiled and thanked him, and accepted it calmly. The look of appreciation in Mrs. Han's eyes was undisguised, and she smiled very happily.
"It's good that my brother Shao is so sensible and polite!"
Mrs. Wang smiled and praised Mrs. Han's eldest grandson, Han Wenshao.
The next few ladies knew that this was the daughter of Mrs. Wang's favorite fifth aunt and grandmother, so they thought of the conversation after tea and dinner in the capital.
This is not a good thing, the five girls of the Wang family were one of the best in the capital with outstanding appearance and good conduct, so that everyone in the capital knew that the five girls were concubines.
In this way, this cousin is also a concubine? Mrs. Dongpingbo was sneering, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou was drinking tea, and the British duchess's face remained unchanged, still smiling dignifiedly, and her posture was elegant.
Old Madam Wang thought of the intentions of the ladies, so she said to Lin Yu'an, "You go back to the room first."
Lin Yu understood with peace of mind, nodded and saluted, and left in a proper manner. As soon as Lin Yu'an went to the back room, he heard the maid behind him shouting, "The second lady has arrived."
She was stunned for a moment, but was soon relieved. It's not surprising that the Yu family is here, after all, aren't these ladies here to see Wang Xuanrou, and besides, as the wife of the Wang family, it is reasonable for the Yu family to come out to entertain guests.
Back in the house, Xianpu closed the door, Lin Yu was still thinking about Wang Xuanrui in her peace of mind, she beckoned Xianpu to approach, and asked in a low voice, "We weren't seen by Wang Xuanrui's maid, right?"
Xian Pu recalled and shook his head: "It shouldn't be, I saw her running towards the boulder with her head buried in it, a little anxious, and I don't know what's wrong."
Lin Yu'an told Xian Pu a few more words, and the news that they had been to the garden today must not be spread outside.
Sitting on the small pestle near the window, Lin Yu'an's mind was a little low, she always had a feeling that the duckweed was nowhere to go, and her eyes fell on the peach-pink impatiens that were blooming arbitrarily outside the window, it was July.
Her expression was suddenly mixed with a little loss, it has been more than two months since she came to Kyoto, in this dire Wang family, she is just a vine that has lost her shelter, and she uses the big tree of Mrs. Wang to shelter from the wind and rain.
But can Mrs. Wang really be able to protect her for the rest of her life? Lin Yu'an couldn't help laughing at herself, she couldn't help but think of her mother.
Her mother is her grandmother's favorite daughter, but her grandmother still let her go to the Silent Moon Temple, which shows that the kind of love that others see is sometimes so vulnerable.
Mrs. Wang is the head of the Wang family's family after all, and if something collides with the interests of the family one day, Mrs. Wang will definitely put the interests of the Wang family first.
She seemed to suddenly understand the reason why she didn't like Mrs. Wang, because the most important thing in Mrs. Wang's heart was interests. This made her aware of the crisis, a sense of crisis that she was walking on thin ice and could fall into the abyss at any moment.
Thinking that when she first entered the mansion, Mrs. Wang said that she would give her Xianyun Pavilion to live, and two months had passed, but Mrs. Wang had not mentioned it again.
As the weather became hotter, it was no longer convenient to live in Yiranju, and there were some things that were difficult to do under the noses of Mrs. Wang.
Just thinking about when to find a way to mention it to Mrs. Wang, she saw Xian Pu come in with a basket of red and bright impatiens, she smiled and put the basket on the kang table near the window: "Girl, the impatiens are blooming so well, I picked some for you to paint your nails, but they look good!"
Lin Yu'an listened to it interestingly, so he let Xianpu toss in his hands, thinking about things in his heart.
Coming back from Nanshuizhuang, Lin Yu'an understood that silver is very important, for the sake of silver, Mrs. Fang also wanted to design and frame Wang Xiaoniang, Wang Xiaoniang herself has a lot of money, so she didn't suffer much from Mrs. Fang's idleness in the Lin Mansion.
Speaking of the dowry, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, this time her mother came back and brought back all the silver that she had brought to the Lin family, according to the rules, the mother's dowry was left to her children, she had no brothers, and these would be hers in the future.
It's just that my mother has never mentioned the dowry, and she hasn't married yet, so the dowry won't be in her hands for a while, so she still thinks about how to get some silver.
She thought of her third uncle Wang Zhongjun, he was a businessman, and the glory of the Wang family today was inseparable from the financial support of the third uncle.
Two uncles are officials in the court, one uncle is running a business outside, the two uncles are indispensable for entertainment, and the third uncle is running around for business, it is inevitable to deal with the court and help each other, plus there is an aunt and grandmother of the Wang family who is the mother of Concubine Yun in the palace, so the Wang family is now thriving.
This made Lin Yu feel at ease, and hurriedly called Xian Pu to come in to serve and freshen up, changed his clothes again, wore an apricot white embroidered silk skirt, and simply rolled a bun with green silk, fixed it with a cordyceps twisted white hosta, and took a pair of white jade drop earrings, and went to the West Cross Courtyard with Xianpu.
