I haven't seen Lin Furui for several days, and since Lin Furui took the initiative to express her intention to Lin Qinghan and was rejected that day, she said that she was sick and took leave from the academy.

When Lin Furui appeared in front of Yu Yuning with red and swollen eyes, Yu Yuning was also startled.

Yu Yuning also took leave from the academy because of her broken foot, but Lin Qinghan really kept his promise, sent someone to send a piano, and sent someone to copy the notes, and sent it to Yilan Academy.

She has to play the piano and review her homework again, Lin Qinghan often comes to check, and even takes the initiative to come to give lectures, she even suspects that Lin Qinghan just wants to accept a female disciple.

"Sister Afu, what's wrong?"

Lin Furui cried with a sad face, a look of resentment, as soon as Yu Yuning asked, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry again, she was here to gloat today, but when she saw Yu Yuning, she felt even more aggrieved, where is she not as good as Yu Yuning, why does her cousin look down on her.

Lin Furao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I'm fine, it's the third wife who asked me to tell you, Pingyang Hou invited you to tomorrow's birthday banquet, and the third wife asked you to prepare for your life, and you will go to Pingyang Hou's Mansion with me tomorrow to celebrate your birthday." ”

Lin Furao actually didn't want to go out, she didn't want to go with Yu Yuning, and she didn't want people to see her embarrassed appearance of crying and swollen eyes, but she didn't dare to disobey Xue's words, and she couldn't find anyone to cry.

Although she doesn't like Yu Yuning, at least Yu Yuning doesn't have those high-ranking nobles who are cold and arrogant, and she is willing to listen to her complaints.

As soon as she compares with Yu Yuning, she can also have a sense of superiority, Yu Yuning's mother and daughter live in the Lin family, see people's faces and live, and the situation is difficult, she thinks so, and she feels a lot better.

Yu Yuning was copying Pei Ming's poetry collection, and her hand shook in fright, and Zihao's pen fell on the paper, and a cloud of black ink appeared on the paper.

Pingyang Hou really didn't want to let her go.

But there were many people at the birthday banquet, and Pingyang Hou would probably not do anything to her in public, she just took this opportunity to return the cloak to Zhao Yin, and at the right time, she could use Lin Qinghan and refuse Pingyang Hou.

She lived in the Lin family anyway, and with Lin Qinghan to protect her, Pingyang Hou would be a little jealous of the Lin family, and would not blatantly mess around.

Thinking of this, she was relieved.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? And this poem is not a famous work, what is worth copying. My cousin is very talented and accomplished in poetry, and his poetry is the best. ”

Yu Yuning subconsciously wanted to cover up this poetry collection, but was snatched away by Lin Furui, Yu Yuning regretted that she was too impulsive, Lin Furong didn't look down on Pei Ming in her eyes, and naturally she wouldn't read Pei Ming's poems.

Sure enough, when Lin Furui saw Pei Ming's name on the poetry collection, she frowned, "What are you doing copying his poems?" ”

can't let Lin Furui perceive her thoughts, let alone let people know that what she likes is actually Pei Ming, now is not the best time, if Lin Qinghan knows about it, he will definitely not protect her anymore.

At that time, I am afraid that she will fall into the hands of Pingyang Hou.

She pretended to be calm and said with a light smile: "I heard Du Xuexue mention it before, saying that although today's Tanhualang's poems are simple and unpretentious, they give people a kind of warmth from the inside out, so I bought a book of poems to copy, and it was just to practice calligraphy and pass the time, my words are not as good as my sister's writing, and I heard that Pei Langjun writes well, so I thought about buying a collection of poems to copy one or two." ”

Lin Furui was very useful to her compliments, but she still scoffed at Pei Ming, "He just relied on himself to have taught in the Lin Family Academy, and he bragged about his poetry collection when he met people, Du Xuezhi is just a polite remark that hinders the situation, you don't take it to heart, he is far inferior to his cousin in terms of talent, and he is indeed better than his cousin in terms of fame and reputation, Pei Ming is very hypocritical, I can see through him." ”

It's a pity that her father was determined to marry her to Pei Ming, and she begged several times, but she didn't get her father's change of heart.

Seeing that her birthday was approaching, she and Pei Ming were about to get married, and she felt even more anxious.

Lin Furui went to ask her brother Lin Wanzhou to say a few good words for her, but was told that it was the Pei family who wanted to climb up to the Lin family and seek high-ranking officials, so she looked down on Pei Ming more and more.

was distressed and couldn't get out of the marriage, remembering that day Lin Qing rejected her coldly and indifferently, she locked herself in her room and cried for several days.

Lin Furui was disdainful and threw the book of poems aside, "I have already brought Mrs. Words, and I will wait for you at the south gate tomorrow." ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Afu."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Yuning came to the south gate as promised, got into Lin Furui's carriage, and went to Pingyang Hou's Mansion with Lin Furui.

Today she wears a plain white dress, without combing her hair bun, only wearing a plain silver hairpin to tie her waist-length hair, there is a weak beauty of unpowdered, but it seems too elegant, among a bunch of brightly dressed noblewomen, she is like a small white wildflower blooming on the ridge of the countryside.

Even Lin Furui frowned when she saw it, and did not hide her disgusted eyes, "By the way, why are you dressed so shabby today, it doesn't look like you're going to celebrate your birthday, it's more like you're going to a funeral, remember to stay away from me later, don't bother me and I'll be ridiculed." ”

She didn't want to be in the limelight at Pingyang Hou's birthday banquet, she didn't have any extra clothes on her body, thinking that the more low-key and inconspicuous the better.

She just wanted to return the cloak to Pingyang Hou, and then she would leave early, and when Pingyang Hou looked at her that day, she was always uneasy in her heart, just afraid that there would be some variables.

Mama Yu of the Hou Mansion waited outside the door early, and helped Yu Yuning get out of the carriage, "Lady Yu, Master Hou, please go and speak." ”

Lin Furui was a little curious, why did Pingyang Hou know Yu Yuning, so she asked in a low voice: "What did Pingyang Hou call you to do?" Pingyang Hou is extremely lustful, I advise you to stay away from him. ”

Although Lin Furui's temperament is arrogant, her nature is not bad, Yu Yuning nodded and smiled: "Thank you sister for reminding me, I will definitely be careful." ”

Lin Furui didn't care about her anymore and hurried to the front hall of the Hou Mansion for a banquet.

Yu Yuning only thought about how to return the cloak to Pingyang Hou tactfully, and it would be better if he could take this opportunity to decline Pingyang Hou.

Yu Yuning followed Yu Pozi all the way to a pavilion, the pavilion was built in the middle of the lake, surrounded by a curtain, the pavilion in the lake is a good place to enjoy the coolness, and the second is to talk in it, but also to prevent being listened to.

Mrs. Yu urged beside her: "Mrs. Yu, please come on, Master Hou is waiting for you inside." ”

Yu Wanning took a deep breath, relieved the tension in her heart, lifted the curtain and walked in.

There is a table in the pavilion, on which is placed an incense burner of auspicious beasts, the incense burner is burning with fine spices, and the cigarette slowly wafts out of the mouth of the auspicious beast.

The fragrance is light and tastes like some kind of orchid.

There was a plate of cherries and a plate of lychees on the table.

Yu Yuning is blessed, "Yuning has seen Master Hou." ”
