Chapter 17: The Beginning
Lin Yi followed Tan's mother to the third wife's Xiao's Biyunju, the second old lady Dong repaired this garden, and gave the west courtyard to Chen Yunyuan and his wife, the second courtyard, the courtyard is planted with pomegranate trees, inside is golden cinnamon, silver cinnamon, the flower garden is planted with four seasons flowers, and the wind blows and smells a faint fragrance.
Their family does not live in Beijing, and the second old lady Dong also asks people to clean carefully, and they have done enough work on the surface.
It's really a lot better than their home in Fujian, and the third wife, Xiao Shi, was also full of joy when she moved in.
The little maid stepped forward to open the curtain, and Lin Yi entered the inner room.
The third wife, Xiao Shi, took the big girl Le Rong to sit on the big kang near the window to form bats, and when she saw Lin Yi Xiao asked Lin Yi to sit beside her, she told Le Xue, "Go and bring a bowl of almond soup to Miss Six, sprinkle honey and frosting on it." ”
Seeing Lin Yi eat a bowl of almond soup, the third wife, Xiao Shi, was extremely happy, "Are you feeling better in the past two days?" ”
Since the last time Aunt Liu's affair happened, it seems that the staff in the big kitchen has changed a little, and she has also been taken care of, especially this morning, there are three kinds of dim sum alone, she always feels that it is not so easy for her to be poisoned in her previous life, and now it seems that this is the case. As soon as there was the slightest rumor, the man restrained his hands and feet.
Was it arranged by the eldest aunt...... There were doubts in her mind.
Lin Yi helped Xiao Shi tie the bat, looking at Lin Yi's dexterous hand, Xiao Shi smiled: "Do you remember the Mrs. Lin family you told you last time?" ”
Lin Yi's hand couldn't help but stop.
Xiao said: "Mrs. Lin asked someone to send a post over again, and invited us over for tea, but it was not good to always push it, so I promised to come down, you go back and prepare to prepare, and we will take the car tomorrow." ”
What should come always comes, in the past, she married the Lin family because of the close relationship between the two families, and now that she is reborn, it is impossible to avoid it three or two times.
Lin Yi nodded in response.
Xiao said: "We didn't bring anything good back from Fujian, and we don't know what gifts to return." Xiao Shi said and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, "I thought it would be better to send two paintings, one is to cherish the ink of the scholarly family, and the other is that you can also help pick if you know calligraphy and painting." ”
Sending paintings just caters to the Lin family's scholarly family.
My father has always liked calligraphy and painting, and he has bought many of these things in Fujian, and a few of them are rare for ordinary people.
Mother Tan smiled and said, "The slave maid went and brought the painting." ”
Lin Yi quickly knotted the bat in her hand and put it in the basket next to her, although she knew that the Lin family and the second old lady Dong family were not good for her father, but she didn't know very clearly. Lin Zhengqing is a villain who forgets his righteousness, but the Lin family stood on the same position as his father at the beginning.
She doesn't want to marry Lin Zhengqing, but she doesn't necessarily have to use an ultra-conservative method, first, her parents won't agree, and second, she can only prevent it if she knows each other.
Lin Yi helped pick two elegant paintings. It's not expensive, it's not too special, it's not humble or arrogant, it's a very ordinary gift.
Xiao Shi looked at it several times before asking Tan's mother to wrap it in a gift box and put it away.
Xiao Shi has always thought about it less, but this time it is very solemn.
Lin Yi raised her head and asked Xiao, "Mother seems to be very concerned about going to Lin's house." ”
Xiao couldn't hide what was on her mind, she heard Chen Yunyuan say that last night, she didn't sleep all night, as long as she thought of the current situation, she was scared and her heart pounded, Xiao frowned, "Let's go to Fujian for so long, there are no acquaintances in Beijing, ...... in the future" Referring to the future, Xiao sighed and asked Lin Yi, "What do you think of the capital?" Is the climate much better than in Fujian? This year, we don't have to worry about any more flooding in Kyori. Chen Yunyuan was reluctant to tell the two children this, so Xiao Shi also opened the topic and asked Lin Yi to choose a decent dress, "There are other people tomorrow, they are all young ladies from the scholarly family, and there will be no poetry meeting, you will inevitably have to respond to the scene at that time." ”
Lin Yi bowed slightly.
Xiao Shi took Lin Yi's hand and smiled, "The most worry-free thing is you," Speaking of this, Xiao Shi couldn't help but be melancholy, "Your brother wants to learn riding, you can also persuade some when you have time, our family has no inherited title, and we will always have to take the imperial examination in the future, and those who use force only need to know some." "Since the last time I heard Lin Yi talk about the reinstatement, I really took this seriously, and now I not only have to invite Xixi to Brother Heng but also find a martial arts master, she really can't understand what her husband thinks more and more. The future is worrying, but there is hope.
……
Coming out of Xiao's house, Lin Yi slowly thought about Xiao's words.
It seems that the father's matter is already very serious, otherwise he would not be prepared to let them stay in the capital.
What does the Lin family have to do with his father's affairs?
She has probably heard some words and phrases, all about Cheng Guogong.
The Lin family will not know about Fujian in Beijing, Chengguo Gongshan is good at naval warfare, almost all the officials in Fujian and Liangjiang are from the hands of Chengguo Gong, and his father has served in Fujian and Liangjiang, is it possible that the Lin family wants to know about Fujian and Liangjiang through his father?
What the hell got to that point of marriage.
The final outcome of the marriage between the two families will not be determined by her likes and dislikes, but there are other ways......
If his father knew that the Lin family was not reliable at the critical moment, and what he did was even more sorry for their reputation as a scholarly family, and Lin Zhengqing was a wolf in the mountains, his father would definitely not agree to the marriage.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi turned her head and instructed Linglong, "Let your godmother go to the long room, tell the old lady in the long room that we will go to the Lin family tomorrow as a guest, and let Sister Tingzhu not come first." ”
Although she didn't know about the capital, the old lady of the long house did.
Bai Shao came over yesterday and didn't say when Sister Zhu would come over, Linglong thought about it and understood that Miss wanted to use this incident as an excuse......
Linglong whispered, "The slave knows. ”
Lin Yi returned to the room, Orange Hong was already out of the room to choose the dress to wear tomorrow, Lin Yi sat on the big kang by the window and picked up the book on the low table to read.
Orange Hong picked a few plain ones to take to Lin Yi.
"Don't worry," Lin Yi didn't look at it, "Let's put it there first!" ”
After the dress is chosen, it will be ironed, and it will inevitably be incense again when you go to the banquet, and if you don't start preparing early, I'm afraid it's too late. But since the young lady said so, Orange Hong had no choice but to put down her dress first.
About a stick of incense passed, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, here.
The maid at the door said, "The fourth lady is here." ”
Lin Yi put down the book and got up to welcome Lin Fang in, Lin Fang seemed more enthusiastic than ever, and happily took Lin Yi's hand, "I got a few yarn flowers, so I thought I would bring you two too, you can see if it looks good." ”
The begonia-style box opened, revealing two red and pink gold-threaded yarn flowers.
"This is a recent style," Lin Fang pointed to her head, "I also wore one." ”
Red and pink are the ones that make her look beautiful!
Lin Yi took the yarn flower, and Lin Fang looked at the dress on the kang in surprise, "Sister, what are you going to do?" ”
Lin Yi followed Lin Fang's words, "Tomorrow, my mother will take me to Lin's house as a guest, and I am choosing a dress, and my sister is just here, let's see which one to choose." ”
Lin Fang didn't push back, and stepped forward with a smile to take a closer look, "I look a little plain, it's always better to be bright and glamorous when I go to be a guest." ”
The bright colors are public, the plain colors are astringent, and the scholarly family likes gentle women. Lin Fang's proposal was the opposite.
On the one hand, he was planning to go to the county lord's house to be a guest, and on the other hand, he had to hold on to the Lin family tightly. Lin Fang, a fourteen-year-old young lady, really has a lot of ideas.
Lin Yi instructed Orange Hong to take out all the dresses she had now.
Lin Fang chose a gown full of wood peony and drunken fairy face, with a goose yellow palace skirt underneath, and personally helped Lin Yi with jewelry, and Lin Yi was also bright and beautiful when she wore it.
Lin Yi smiled when she saw it, "I still wear that light purple gown." Light purple is not as bright as light red, and it is more ordinary to wear, and Lin Fang immediately agreed after Lin Yi put it on.
After instructing Lin Yi what to wear, Lin Fang left with confidence, walking on the road Lin Fang gradually curled her lips, although if the county lord of Huihe likes her, she will have the opportunity to meet the wife of Xungui and the clan family, and it will be possible to be a wife in the future, so that even if the Lin family has talent and a future, she has no choice but to give up. But it doesn't prove that she has to give it to Lin Yi now. There are so many young ladies in the Chen family, she just wants to stand out.
