Chapter 21: Surprise
Lin Yi went to bed very late, and when she woke up the next day, her eyes were sour, and Linglong hurriedly went to make chrysanthemum wolfberry tea. After drinking the tea, she wrapped the chrysanthemum with a silk and compressed her eyes, and Lin Yi felt much more comfortable.
After breakfast, Lin Yi went to greet the elders in the family.
The second old lady, Dong, smiled as usual, as if she didn't take Lin Yi's trip to Lin's house to heart, and Lin Fang next to her was not very happy.
Lin Fang didn't want the Lin family to like Lin Yi, but it didn't mean that she wanted the Lin family and the Chen family to be estranged...... After all, everyone is the daughter of the Chen family.
After a while, a maid came into the house and delivered a letter.
Lin Fang was stretching out her smooth neck to look, and the maid said; "It's for Miss Six."
A letter to her? Lin Yi put down the tea bowl in her hand and asked Linglong to take the long letter box. Lin Yi opened the box and swept her eyes to find the owner of the letter in the lower right corner of the envelope.
Miss Qi San.
Lin Yi raised her head and looked at the second old lady Dong, "I met the third lady of the Qi family as a guest at the Lin family." ”
So soon I had a relationship with Miss Kyosato. The second old lady, Dong Shiyou, glanced at Lin Yi carefully, and showed a loving smile, "It is good for any young lady from a scholarly family to have more contacts." ”
Lin Fang rarely showed a smile on her face today, "I have seen Miss Qi a few times, and her temperament is excellent, and Miss Qi San gave me a string of Yingluo last time." ”
Compared with sending Yingluo, Lin Yi just received a letter.
……
The letters exchanged between the ladies in the boudoir did not have much substance, so they asked Lin Yi about her preferences and invited Lin Yi to be a guest when she was free.
Lin Yi replied and gave each of the two young ladies of the Qi family a sachet with spices made by herself. Soon, the third lady of the Qi family wrote to ask Lin Yi about the practice of sachets.
Lin Yi is to repair the cypress, according to the Luban lock made of the sachet, the outside is wrapped with a colorful tassel into a hundred blessing knots, and finally shake the spices into the purse, the spices are made of peach blossoms, apricot blossoms and rainwater, smell sweet with a little green, dexterous people can also open the purse, into a layer of brocade Luban lock, when you have nothing to do, you can take it out and fiddle with the Luban lock, but this Luban lock is more interesting, different patterns on all sides pose different looks like a sachet makeover.
Lin Yi came all the way from Funing to the capital, and was stuffy in the car for a few months, in addition to reading books, she was fiddling with all kinds of Luban locks, at that time she thought it would be better to make Luban locks into small sachets and wear them on her body, and she had played once and her hands were full of incense.
……
Miss Qi San and Miss Fifth opened the Baifu knot according to what Lin Yi said, but they only fiddled with it a few times but didn't remember how to tie it. Although Luban has small openings made on the lock for threading ropes, these openings are like a labyrinth, and they can't be worn in place.
You can't send things to Chen's house, ask Miss Chen Liu to tie them up and send them back!
The two young ladies were dejected, Qiu Ju opened the curtain and said, "The second master is here." ”
Before Second Master Qi could react, he had been dragged over by his two younger sisters, "Qi Dacai, come and help." ”
Second Master Qi glanced at the things on the table.
Although it is a sachet for women and children, it is ...... Luban lock.
Who did it.
Qi Erye tried a few times, as if he always took a wrong step, if he could think more about tying Luban locks together, it was not impossible.
Seeing her brother's slender eyebrows furrowed, Miss Qi San laughed, "It's a pity that my brother has dignified eyebrows, not as good as his skirt." This sentence pokes at people's weakness, which man is willing to admit defeat after listening to it.
Second Master Qi was used to his sister's naughty smile and didn't take it to heart, so he sat for a while and went back to the study, and soon Miss Qi San sent Lu Ban Suo away.
Xue Yan whispered: "The third miss said, please ask the second master to help, the third miss and the fifth miss still want to wear it next time they go out." ”
The two younger sisters are close to him on weekdays, and when they get interesting things, they are the first to think of him, which is ...... I'm afraid the doctor will leave too little schoolwork.
Second Master Qi didn't want to pay attention to it, after all, it would be the autumn exam in a few months, but after memorizing the book for a while, his eyes inadvertently swept over.
It shouldn't be difficult to fiddle with such a small stubborn object, so I unconsciously put down the book in my hand......
……
A few days later, Linfang's statue of Lotus Guanyin was painted, and everyone in the Chen family went over to see it.
Lin Yi met the second wife, Tian, who rarely showed up.
Tian is wearing a light cyan dark striped gown, combing a round bun, and only wearing a few jade hairpins on her head, but her simple dress shows that her eyebrows and eyes are stretched, her temperament is light and elegant, and the cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows is like a newly exposed stamen.
Lin Fang is beautiful, but she is only like Tian's eyebrows and eyes, and she lacks Qingli's talent.
Lin Fang stretched out her hand and pointed to the attendants on the scroll, "I specially added two attendants to accompany my mother." ”
After all, Lin Fang is a talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she looks decent when she paints, plus she likes it, and the county lord of Huihe will definitely like it.
The second old lady Dong nodded with a smile.
Lin Fang got into Tian's arms, "Naturally, I learned a few words of Buddha by Guanyin's side. ”
"Don't make fun of Guanyin." Tian straightened his face, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Lin Fang simply used this sentence to coquettish the second old lady Dong, "Grandmother, look at your mother, she is so kind to others, but she is so strict with me. ”
The second old lady Dong smiled: "You are so squeamish, you are not afraid that your sixth sister will look at the jokes." Besides, your mother is not a strict mother, so you have to raise a splash monkey, and when you go to the county lord, don't let people beat them back to their original form. ”
Lin Fang looked at Lin Yi proudly, "Sixth sister, hurry up and say something for me." ”
Lin Yi smiled at Lin Fang, "Then I have to think about it too...... What are the benefits of the four sisters......"
Lin Fang's face darkened, "Even the sixth sister bullied me." ”
After singing a scene, Lin Fang didn't feel tired, and finally took Lin Yi's hand affectionately, "Sixth sister, I will take you to the county lord's mansion if I have the chance, the Zheng family's garden is particularly beautiful, and the saints have praised it." ”
Lin Yi smiled, "I don't know many rules. ”
Lin Fang said: "What am you afraid of with me, I would rather take care of myself than you." ”
As if she really would.
……
On the same day, Tingzhu of the long room arrived in Lin Yi's room on time, Lin Yi accompanied Tingzhu to do needlework as usual, Tingzhu left very late, and Lin Yi's double-sided embroidery was also completed at the end of the time.
The next day, Lin Yi wanted to sleep a little longer, but her mother-in-law's voice came from the door, "I'm tired of the girls to wake up Miss Six earlier, and the old lady specially instructed the big kitchen to cook earlier." ”
Tian and Lin Fang had to go out to the county lord's mansion earlier, and the meal was naturally early.
Lin Yi got up and went to say hello to the second old lady.
Lin Fang wore a goose-yellow rose collared gown, covered with a cyan shark yarn, a pink pleated skirt, combed a concubine bun, and wore a set of emerald jewelry, and the butterflies on her head spread their wings with every step.
The second old lady Dong instructed Lin Fang, nothing more than not to forget all kinds of etiquette, and not to make a mistake about the size of the salute. Then Lin Fang followed Tian out of the house vigorously.
Seeing off Lin Fang, Lin Yi was just about to get up and go back to the room, when Dong's mother took Mother Bai, who was next to the old lady in the long room, into the house.
Mother Bai asked the second old lady Dong to say goodbye, "Our old lady went out to be a guest, and specially asked me to call Miss Fourth and Miss Six to follow together." ”
The second old lady Dong was stunned, "The fourth girl and the second wife went out." ”
Mother Bai couldn't help but be anxious, "How can it be so coincidental." Our old lady didn't want to go out, but she was repeatedly invited, and it was not easy not to go. As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yi and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that Miss Six is here." ”
The second old lady Dong was not easy to ask, and Dong's mother said first: "This ...... Where is the old lady of the long house going? ”
Mother Bai said: "If it is somewhere else, forget it, it is to go to the Zheng family as a guest." ”
Which Zheng family is the Zheng family.
Could it be the Zheng family just mentioned.
The second old lady Dong was stunned, "Is it the county lord of Huihe?" ”
Mother Bai smiled and nodded, "Not really." ”
Lin Yi felt a sharp gaze fall on her.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"That's a coincidence," Dong's mother looked at the second old lady Dong, "The second wife and the fourth lady also went to the Zheng family." ”
Mother Bai exclaimed, "It turns out that the county lord of Huihe also invited the second wife and the fourth lady," said with a slight pause, "Our old lady doesn't know either." ”
The second old lady Dong looked calm, "The second lady and Lin Fang just left, and they can't meet at the door of Zheng's house," said he turned his head to look at Lin Yi, "Quickly change your clothes and follow the old lady of the long room." ”
Lin Yi then understood, and hurriedly instructed Linglong, "Go and iron the clothes." ”
Mother Bai smiled and said, "The slave will go back to the old lady, and let the carriage pick up Miss Six in a while." ”
Mother Bai retired, Lin Yi went back to the room to change clothes, and the second old lady Dong looked at Mother Dong with a slight face, "This is what the old lady in the long room has arranged a long time ago." ”
Since I had already received the invitation, why did I hide it, I had to wait until I was about to leave before I asked Mother Bai to come over and call the four girls and the six girls.
The old lady of the long house is a smiling tiger, and she specializes in the tricks of yin damage behind her back.
"Why didn't anyone find out?" Dong frowned, Tinglan is the girl next to the old lady in the long room, what can I hide from her.
Mother Dong bowed down and said, "Xu didn't take it to heart, the old lady of the long house rarely went out for banquets in recent years. ”
Now it's okay, a Chen family will go to the banquet in two ways, and if you are not careful, you will be caught.
Mother Dong said in a low voice: "What should I do now?" ”
But what can I do with the banquet, the old lady of the long room wants to take Lin Yi there, can she stop it? It's just that...... Linfang was dressed so brightly, and she wore jade-soled jewel shoes before leaving, Linyi was dressed so badly that outsiders thought she had treated the third family harshly.
She was bent on letting Lin Fang stand out, but the old lady in the long room blocked her at this time.
"Send the new peach-colored shark yarn smock made for Linfang to the six girls." It was originally arranged for Lin Fang, but Lin Yi picked up the cheap. Now I can't help but do this, in the final analysis, I dressed up Linfang too carefully. The second old lady Dong said with a sullen chest, and her eyes sharpened again, "Go, let's see if the six girls are stringing up with the old lady of the long room and pretending to be ghosts." "If that's the case, don't blame her for not being polite in the future.
