Drinking half a cup of hot tea, Lin exhaled softly, she was really busy all day, saw dozens of shopkeepers, and gave a reward of several thousand taels. It is really not easy to take care of a huge general's mansion, but fortunately, Song Zhi sent Qin's mother over to help for a few days, and finally figured out all the money on the books before the end of the year.

The girl's fingertips lost their blood color because of the exertion, and they looked very white on the raven-colored satin, like a jade carved person. Song Zhi rubbed Lin's calf for almost half a pillar of incense, and his strength did not relax at all.

Lin's calves were no longer so sore, and she focused on Song Zhi, and from this angle, she could only see the girl's long black eyelashes and small nose. Thinking of what Emperor Shun'an said at the banquet that day, the Lin family had mixed feelings for a while, and the child's character and family background were all first-class, but they were decided so early, although they had not yet passed the door, they always felt like they were about to lose their biological daughter at any time.

"Childish." Lin called softly, "Don't press it, be careful and your hands will be sore tomorrow."

Song Zhi obediently got up and leaned against Lin's side, and Lin touched her black hair lovingly. "Haven't you found the cat yet?"

"Well, Zhi'er can't sleep well these nights, and I don't know how to explain to Concubine Jia." Song Zhi hugged Lin's waist and buried his head in Lin's arms, his voice sounding muffled. She had already asked people to look for it in the cold autumn courtyard, but Song Yan didn't know where to hide the edelweiss, and she couldn't find it!

"Concubine Jia's temperament is gentle, I don't blame you too much if I think about it, it just so happens that Concubine Jia's mother also wants to see the childish child the day after tomorrow, and the childish child can take this opportunity to explain to her well."

Song Zhi raised her head when she heard this, her sideburns were loose because of Fang Cai's movements, and with her puzzled look, she looked like a silly girl. Lin smiled softly and reached out to help her comb her sideburns.

"Why does Concubine Jianiang......

"Ah, it's a coincidence, my sister is also here!" The curtain of the door was lifted, and Song Yan walked in with a gust of cold wind, which just interrupted Song Zhi's question.

Song Zhi subconsciously looked at her, and the pure white fur scarf around Song Yan's neck grabbed her gaze.

Is that...... Is that!

Song Yan caught Song Zhi's shocked gaze with a light smile, her smile was really sincere, and she smiled so much that she squeezed out two figure-eight lines on her face. "My sister is looking at my scarf? This year's leather is really bad, I chose it for a long time to choose this piece of satisfactory one, but this leather is too small to do anything else, only to make a scarf. ”

"What kind of skin is this? It doesn't look like a rabbit, it's not like a fox. Lin Shiqi said, the fluff of this fur looks very slender, not as flexible as fox fur, with a little bit of elasticity.

"Yan'er doesn't know either." Song Yan touched her neck, "It's probably some kind of northern fox." ”

"Sister, can I take a look at this scarf?" Before Song Yan could answer, Song Zhi had already stretched out her hand, and her slender hand stretched straight towards Song Yan, as if she would tightly choke the other party's throat in the next moment.

Song Zhi had her back to the Lin family, so she couldn't see how cold the expression on her little daughter's face was, and Song Yan's figure was reflected in her deep pupils, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss.

Song Zhi seemed to be a different person at this time, which made Song Yan feel strange, she couldn't help but take off the scarf, and instantly felt a cold neck, she forced the smile on her face, but she looked very stiff and pretentious.

Song Zhi took this scarf and looked at it over and over in his hand, as if he was looking for something. Her jade-like little hands were a little more translucent than the pure white fur.

"What is my sister looking for?" Song Yan asked softly, she likes to use her tongue against the roof of her mouth when she speaks, like a snake spitting out letters.

"Why is my sister so rough," Song Zhi threw the scarf back to Song Yan, "Such a big yellow spot, haven't you noticed it?" ”

Song Yan looked down at the scarf in her hand, the yellow spot was not big, it was not small, but it was impossible not to notice it on this snow-like fur.

Song Yan was obviously a little caught off guard, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly, "My sister was probably dazzled, but she didn't even see it." ”

Song Zhi also smiled, she smiled more sincerely than Song Yan, revealing a row of dense teeth. "Sister, put it on. You're weak, but don't catch a cold. ”

The moon-white sea water river cliff pattern embroidered shoes were exposed from the bottom of the skirt, and when she took a step forward, the mouse-fur-colored suede cotton shoes took two steps back, and Song Yan herself didn't know why she was like this. Before she could figure it out, she was pressed by Song Zhi on the shoulder, "Sister is really, what are you hiding?" ”

Song Zhi took the scarf from Song Yan's hand, brushed off the hair on the back of her neck, and helped her put it on. "Sister, let's talk to my mother. Before coming out, Qin's mother stewed a cup of blood pigeon soup for me, and I thought that the heat was almost inseparable, so I went back to the courtyard first. ”

"You little glutton! Go ahead, pigeon meat won't taste good when you're old. The relationship between Lin and Song Zhi became more and more intimate, and the more casual Song Zhi was in front of her, the closer he became.

Song Yan sat down on Lin's right hand, and opened her mouth with a string of clever words, which made Lin's eyes bend with a smile, but she was at a loss in her heart.

'It doesn't make sense! Why did Song Zhi see the macula but didn't say anything, she should have recognized it. Is she so blind? No way! Song Yan categorically rejected this possibility when she thought of Song Zhi's expression, "She must have seen it, but why didn't she react at all?" ’

Among the people present, Song Yan was not the only one who was confused and confused.

The same is true of the Lin family, 'This early rice is not cut, but the late rice is cut.' Yan'er hasn't decided on a marriage yet, but she has given the child first. Hey, how good is Yan'er's family business. There are not many school-age men in Beijing, and there are few who can catch their eyes when they pick a family background. Besides, Yan'er's body is weak and weak, it is inevitable that those famous families will pick and choose, as the master said, if you pick a lower family background, life will be a little better. However, no matter how low this family is, the façade always has to look at the past. ’

The more Song Yan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and when she was about to get up to say goodbye, she heard Lin ask slowly. "Yan'er, Miss Yan of the Dingyuan Hou family, are you familiar?"

In the previous dynasty, the Marquis of Dingyuan could be regarded as a real nobleman, not only noble, but also outstanding in military achievements. It's just that the Marquis of Dingyuan died on the battlefield, and the emperor felt his loyalty and pity his suffering, so he picked a child with outstanding character from the side branch and let him take the title.

This child is the current Marquis of Dingyuan. Although the Marquis of Dingyuan is still the Marquis of Dingyuan, it is different in essence after all, in the final analysis, it is a title piled up in the sea of corpses and blood, although it is respected, but the foundation is gone. The Marquis of Dingyuan is not serving in the court now, and the two sons-in-law are only civil officials in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.

A few days ago, Mrs. Dingyuan asked through Chen's mouth, saying that she wanted to visit a family affair for her youngest son!

Thinking about this, Lin sincerely felt that this was a good family business.

"Miss Chang of the Dingyuan Hou family?" Song Yan thought for a while, and a vague and plain face flashed through her mind, "I've met about twice, but I haven't spoken." ”

The Lin family would not mention an unfamiliar person for no reason, Song Yan's mind turned twice, and she asked, "Why did my mother suddenly mention her?" But what's the matter? ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis asked me to drink tea, I want to bring you with me, and the young ladies of the two families can also get acquainted with it." There is no trace of this family affair, and the Lin family naturally can't reveal it in front of Song Yan.

But the more she covered it up like this, the more Song Yan thought, "Okay, anyway, let's make more friends, Yan'er is happy to accompany her mother." ”

Lin nodded, frowned slightly, and stroked the back of his neck.

"Mother? What's wrong? Song Yan said busily.

"It's nothing, I just feel like a pinprick in the back of my neck, but it's fine." In the past few days, the Lin family has been sitting on the desk for a long time, and the Lin family is delicate and expensive, and it suddenly shows that something is wrong.

"I'll help my mother rub it." Lin's words have come to this, can't Song Yan do it yet? When she stood behind Lin and rubbed it for her, her face had changed from gentle and submissive to disgusted.

Song Yan rubbed half a cup of tea for Lin, and Lin told her to rest, watching Song Yan's deliberate kneading of her wrist when she left, Lin's heart was slightly stabbed. She remembered that Song Zhi had pressed for her for so long and did not show any displeasure, nor did she shout sourly.

"Roucui." Lin called, and the maid who was guarding the door lifted the curtain and walked in. "What do you command, Madame?"

"I'll eat the pot with the master for dinner, you go to Ruyi Pavilion and say it, so that they don't have to prepare, please invite the third lady to come over and eat together."

"Yes."

Except for festivals or some special occasions, the Song family rarely gets together to eat, probably because this one is not pleasing to the eye, and that one is not pleasing to the eye, and the one is not pleasing to the eye, and they are also choking on a meal, or they eat quietly in the courtyard.

Song Yan was afraid of the cold, so the cotton shoes under her feet were filled with thick soft cotton, and she didn't make a sound when she walked. When she walked to the gate of Lengqiu Courtyard, she saw Cuihuan standing at the door looking anxiously, and when she saw Song Yan's figure, Cuihuan hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words in her ear.

Song Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, the skin and flesh on her face twitched twice, and she forced a happy and peaceful look, and walked quickly towards the courtyard.

The stone wall blocked Song Yan's sight, only a faint laughter came through the stone wall, Song Yan stepped through the doorway, and saw that the maids in her yard were squatting in a circle, talking and laughing, not knowing what they were doing.

Song Zhi sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, her lotus-colored skirt spread out, like a blooming flower in winter. She smiled at Song Yan Shi Ran, "Sister is back?" ”

The maids hurriedly dispersed, and a snow-white cat squatted in place and meowed, and jumped on Song Zhi's lap.

Song Yan's head was numb, and the smile on her face collapsed quickly, comparable to opening a mountain and blasting stones.
