Ripples had lunch and was about to rest, and when Grandma Sun took Grandma Yao to Bilan Garden.

Ripple had already removed the hair ornament on his head at this time under the service of Hongqi, and raised his eyebrows after seeing Mama Yao, and then asked with a smile:

"Mama Yao, why did you come here at this time?"

"Miss, the old slave is on the orders of Madame, I invite you to go to the back garden."

Mama Yao said lightly.

"Mama, did I hear it wrong, a spring banquet is being held in the back garden at this time, how can I show up in front of people as my identity, what if I collide with a distinguished guest?"

Ripple didn't want to go out at all.

Mama Yao can only say:

"Miss, you just have to go to the back garden and show your face, and you don't have to communicate with those people."

"It's not appropriate to do this, although my sister and I are twins, but how can familiar people not see the difference between us, and it will be self-defeating when the time comes, is this really what my mother ordered?"

Ripple said suspiciously.

"Miss..."

Mama Yao knew that she couldn't fool the ripples, and was about to say something, but the ripples frowned and said:

"What's going on with you today? One or two of them want me to go to the spring feast, I just punished the unruly cherry, Mama, you..."

Ripple didn't finish his words, and turned his head to Hongqi and commanded:

"Red membranaceus, green green, you two help me make up."

Then he said to Mama Yao:

"Mama, you wait for me for a while."

Mama Yao could only temporarily withdraw with Mama Sun.

"Does Miss know something?"

Mama Yao frowned and asked.

"The young lady is cautious, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for herself, and she doesn't want to make her wife angry."

Mama Sun shook her head.

The two didn't wait long, and Ripple was dressed up, but they were dressed very elegantly, and they could see the difference between them and Miss at a glance.

Ripple took the two grandmothers and the two maids and went directly to Mrs. Hou's courtyard, and did not go to the back garden.

Mama Yao couldn't stop her if she wanted to, she was full of servants all the way, she didn't want to make a big deal about it, but she found that the eldest lady seemed to have deliberately avoided the people who came to attend the spring banquet, and took the path into Mrs. Hou's courtyard.

"Mother, but you are resting?"

Ripple asked softly outside the door.

"Miss, please come in!"

The maid beside Mrs. Hou said.

Mrs. Hou rubbed her eyebrows, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

At this time, there was a guest in her house, a shrewd woman with her own son, who was the wife of the Shangshu family of the military department and her only son, Lin Yaozu.

The two of them came to the Hou Mansion to participate in the spring banquet, the purpose was to see Xue Lianyi, after all, it was rumored outside that she was terminally ill, their family was a family of military generals, and they didn't want to marry a sick son to go back, after all, Lin Yaozu was the only son of the Lin family, and he would definitely inherit the family lineage.

The door curtain was opened, and Ripple raised her feet to enter, and saw the original and future mother-in-law and husband, she paused, looked at Mrs. Hou at the top, and said a little overwhelmed:

"Mother, my daughter doesn't know you have guests..."

"Ripples, come to your mother."

Mrs. Hou had no choice but to wave to the ripples.

"Yes, Mother."

Ripple responded obediently, and then walked over.

And Mrs. Lin and Lin Yaozu's eyes were almost glued to the ripples, especially Lin Yaozu, who was more and more satisfied with his fiancée, the other party was ruddy, light, and delicate, like a blooming flower, just looking at him was a little distracted.

Ripple ignored the gaze of the two, came to Madame Hou and sat down, and then spoke:

"Mother, you asked Grandma Sun to take me to the back garden..."

"Ripples, I just want you to go to the back garden to breathe, and you can't always stay in the house."

"Thank you mother for your concern, it's just that the house is entertaining guests.

..」

Before Ripple could say the rest of the words, Mrs. Hou grabbed Ripple's hand and interrupted:

"Ripples, you're already married, it's really not appropriate to go to the back garden, but it's okay for you to meet these two."

Mrs. Hou said with a smile, and at the same time pinched Ripple's wrist hard, but Ripple pretended to be surprised, and did not respond this time.

"Sister Ripple, I'm Yaozu, we've met before, don't you remember me?"

Lin Yaozu immediately spoke, and was glared at by Mrs. Lin on the side.

Mrs. Hou had no choice but to take Ripple's hand, turned her head and said to Lin Yaozu:

"My family Ripples knows the rules best, the last time I saw you was engaged, after all, you didn't get married, you still have to avoid suspicion, and the name of your daughter's family is very important.

If it weren't for the rumors outside, I wouldn't have planned to let you see the ripples this time, but I didn't want you to misunderstand, so I let the ripples come over."

After Mrs. Hou finished speaking, she gently patted the back of Ripple's hand, and Ripple lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Lin saw that Ripple's face was ruddy, and no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look terminally ill, so she knew that the rumors were wrong, so she smiled and said to herself:

"This must be someone who can't see the marriage between our two families, so they spread those rumors, Ripples has been going out of the door recently, and he must be embroidering a wedding dress!"

"It's good that Mrs. Lin understands, there are still three months to get married, and there are still a lot of things to prepare for Ripples, so I don't go out much, I didn't expect to be rumored to be like this by someone with a heart.

If I say that my health is not good or that my wife is not in good health, and this daughter is married, it is like digging out my heart..."

Mrs. Hou is used to acting, so she reversed the situation with one sentence, picked up the handkerchief and dipped it in the corner of her eyes, looking reluctant to marry her daughter.

"Mrs. Hou, don't be sad, the marriage between the two families is a good marriage between Qin and Jin, and Ripple marrying into the Lin family is also my daughter, you can rest assured.

The 100-year-old and 99-year-old children are all mothers, so I naturally understand my wife's feelings."

Mrs. Lin said immediately.

Ripple just hung his head and didn't say a superfluous word.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Yaozu saw the main master, so they didn't stay long, sat down for a while, and then left.

When everyone was gone, Ripple looked up at Mrs. Hou, frowned and asked softly:

"Mother, what's going on? When did I get married to that Lin Gongzi? It's the first time I've seen him today..."

Mrs. Hou waved her hand to let the people around her go down, and then she took the rippling hand and said:

"That Lin Yaozu is your sister's destined match."

"Huh? In that case, why don't you let my sister come, what am I like this?"

Ripple's face changed, and his eyes instantly turned red, as if he had been humiliated.

Mrs. Hou was angry and her liver hurt, but the most important thing was to stabilize her eldest daughter first, so she could only explain patiently:

"Ripple, do you think I don't want your sister over?

It's just that your sister is bedridden now, and she is so thin that she only has a handful of bones left, how can she come to meet people, if she sees your sister like that, the Lin family will definitely have to quit."

"This... That... You can't deceive anyone! Sooner or later, I'm not a sister, so I can't look the same!"

Ripple said anxiously.

"Ripples, there are some things you don't understand, this is not only your sister's marriage, but also involves the affairs of the court, the marriage between the Lin family and the Xue family is imperative, and our family can't afford to lose this marriage."
