Chapter Twenty-Seven: Old Things
"Is the chestnut cake delicious?" Lin Shuang asked.
The sixth girl knelt side by side with her in front of the kang table, nodded, her head moved, and the small silver piece falling on the edge of the hat made a tinkling sound, and the sixth girl felt novel, laughed out loud, and kept shaking her head.
The sixth girl had already eaten it just now, she was not hungry, she was picking and choosing on the plate, Lin Shuang saw that she had stains on her hands, and she was afraid that the whole plate of chestnut cakes would be dirty, so she quickly picked a piece of land for her, and patiently coaxed: "This is plum blossoms, for you to eat." ”
The sixth girl took the pastry, looked at it carefully, opened her mouth to take a bite, and even her fingers were covered with saliva when she took it out.
Seeing Lin Shuang looking at her, he handed the leftover half to her mouth: "Give it to you." ”
Lin Shuang was frightened by her fingers dragging the saliva line, and when she looked up, she saw the second wife and the fourth young master at the door, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
The second wife came in with the fourth young master, several young ladies got up to say goodbye, and the second lady came over and took the third lady's hand and said, "I haven't seen Bao'er for a long time, is your mother's health better?" ”
"Thank you for the second wife's concern, my mother is in good health and is talking to my aunt in the house."
The second wife said: "I was supposed to visit her, but Jun'er was not in good health, and with the martial law in the capital, she didn't go." ”
The third lady said: "Mother has also been thinking about coming to visit the fourth young master. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and smiled at the fourth young master: "The fourth brother looks so good, he must be in good health, right?" ”
The fourth young master said: "It's much better, thank you Sister Bao'er for your concern." ”
The second wife asked some gossip again, sat in the warm pavilion for a while, and then returned to the lotus courtyard, and asked the little girl to send melons and fruits snacks to entertain the two young ladies.
Gu's mother was afraid that they would be noisy, so she asked Miss Six for her hat and went back to the west wing with Lin Shuang.
"Fourth grandma, you did a good job today, and you can't just promise to give away the objects that your wife will reward in the future."
Lin Shuang yawned and said, "Mom, I know." ”
"There are also the six girls, who are used to being faceless and shameless, her aunt is not a person who wants to be faced, she came out of a small family, all relying on the protection of the third master, and she is very domineering in this courtyard, and the third wife is the most annoying to her mother and daughter. As the saying goes, daughter Xiao's mother, the sixth girl will not be much better in the future, she is a concubine, she is not favored by the uncle and the uncle, you don't have to pay attention to her, and you will have less contact with her in the future. ”
Lin Shuang whispered "um", but she had her own plans in her heart.
Not to mention that the sixth girl is also a serious master, Lin Shuang's identity is not as good as her. Even if everyone doesn't like her aunt, the second wife will not dislike her if she calls her to come to the fourth young master's warm pavilion to eat pastries, the second wife has this attitude, what position does Lin Shuang have not to associate with her?
Putting this aside in advance, Lin Shuang asked, "Are Xing'an Bo Mansion and our Mansion related?" ”
Gu's mother sneered: "What kind of relatives, we can't afford this kind of relative." ”
Seeing that Lin Shuang was puzzled, Gu's mother hugged her and explained: "That Xing'an Bofu is not a good family, the third lady of their family is the sister of our eldest wife, and the third lady who came today is the daughter born to her, named Zhang Xiaoya, nicknamed Bao'er." When Mrs. Zhang San came to our house, she saw that the fourth young master was smart, so she orally ordered a doll with our second wife, and the two dolls also got closer, and the second lady really regarded the third lady as a daughter-in-law. Who knew that not long after, the fourth young master fell ill, and the Xing'an Bofu actually refused to recognize the marriage. The fourth young master was seriously ill and wanted to find a female doll...... Getting married, the third lady Zhang said that she was sick and didn't see anyone, and our wife was not a person with a dead face, so she didn't say anything about getting married. ”
After hearing these words, Lin Shuang probably knew in his heart, if he wanted to say that it was not wrong to say that his family was in Xing'an Bofu, he was pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world, the fourth young master was very sick, and if he said no, he would not work, in a person like Xing'an Bofu, how could a mother be willing to send her daughter to Chongxi? Parents who buried their daughter's life for a joke are pedantic.
