twelve

In front of him stood two beautiful women, one of whom was like a willow and a peach blossom. Seeing her, Xiao Cheng was happy in his heart, but the etiquette and upbringing in his bones were like an invisible ring ruler, restraining him to suppress his full joy, he gathered his cloak and said with a smile: "Two sisters, how are you doing these days?" ”

"I have Lao Xiao's son worried, my sister and I accompany my grandmother in the house, and we are very good on weekdays." Lin Liu smiled faintly, a trace of sadness flashed on his face, although it was only for a moment, but this emotion was quickly captured by Xiao Cheng.

"My sister is doing very well? It's clear that you've lost weight in the past few days, can't you see Brother Xiao Cheng? Lin Wei was indignant and wanted to say something, but Lin Liu gently pulled her back, signaling that she didn't have to say anything more.

Xiao Cheng paused and guessed: "I heard that my brother Lin Ziheng offended King Ning a few days ago and was sent to the cold and bitter land of Hexi, but the second lady is worried about this?" ”

Lin Liu shook his head, his expression was a little twisted, "My younger brother has a stubborn temperament, and it is inevitably a bad thing to be sent to Hexi this time, and I won't be bothered by it." ”

"Then why is my sister so sad?"

Lin Wei lifted her eyelids, and her tone was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Xiao Cheng can't guess yet?" My second sister has a soft temperament, and she has never been angry with the maid on weekdays, except for the arrogant and lawless Lin Chuwaist, where will she get into trouble with others? ”

"Second sister, don't be sad, sisters often quarrel with each other, presumably they will be reconciled in a few days." Xiao Cheng persuaded.

Lin Liu seemed to have something unspeakable, and his expression was very embarrassed. At this time, the coachman of the Lin Mansion, Ah Fu, ran over from a distance, wiped his sweat, and said: "Miss, I have sent someone to take a look, saying that there are problems with the axles of several chariots, and it will not be repaired in a while, or I will go to find a carriage now?" ”

Xiao Cheng stopped him, turned his head and said to the two young ladies of the Lin family: "It's already the hour, and the two younger sisters are afraid that it will be too late to find another car." It just so happens that Xiao Mansion has a car in the Drunken Immortal Building, if the two sisters don't dislike it, they can take this car. ”

Lin Liu shook his head, with tears in his eyes, "Brother Xiao Cheng, the eldest sister has never liked us to interact with you, if the eldest sister finds out, I don't know how she will be angry." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng snorted coldly, "Where did this come from?" How could she be so jealous at such a young age? The two sisters just get in the car and I'll explain to her! ”

Lin Wei also said: "Why are you afraid of her? I'm not afraid! Second sister, let's get in the car! ”

Five days after the big cold, the snow melts, and it is a good time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The students of Zongxue were either rich or noble, and they all knew each other well, and as soon as they sat down, they began to talk enthusiastically.

The two maids fiddled with the bookcase for a while, and then stepped back to the side and squatted to serve. Lin Chu's waist was stained with ink, and the chicken copied the famous calligraphy like a chicken.

Her handwriting is notoriously ugly.

No talent is no talent, when she was four or five years old, she and her two cousins were practicing calligraphy for the first time, and she alone drew ghost talismans by drawing a gourd. The old gentleman looked at her words, touched the white beard and sighed.

Since then, she has clearly realized that copying calligraphy is a stain on a famous teacher, but it doesn't matter.

Someone in the classroom suddenly laughed and said, "Two sisters, why are you here?" Today is the entrance exam! If something goes wrong, the Master will never give him another chance! ”

This person's name is Sun Yunluo, the daughter of a second-class official in the imperial court, and she is good friends with Lin Liu on weekdays.

Lin Chu raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Lin Wei and Lin Liu coming in one after the other, their faces slightly angry.

There is a clear rule in the sect that students must dress uniformly. Since it is impossible to show off their individuality in clothing, many students work on headwear and hairstyles.

Lin Wei combed a beautiful double bun, obliquely held a fine pearl pendant, her face was slightly round, and her big eyes were like a fan, which was a little coquettish and cute. She first walked into the hall, caught a glimpse of Lin Chu's waist, and said with a sneer: "Yunluo, doesn't the Lin family have an eldest lady?" Why don't you ask her! ”

Without waiting for Lin Chu's waist to answer, Lin Liu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Wei, as if to persuade her, "Sister, don't blame the eldest sister, the eldest sister must not know that our carriage is broken, how can she deliberately come first without piggybacking on us?" ”

These words only angered Lin Wei even more, and she sneered: "She did it on purpose!" On weekdays, she drags on until the end of the house, why did she go out so early today? Lin Chu's waist! Didn't you break my carriage and deliberately cause me to be scolded by my master? ”

As soon as the two sisters sang a sentence or two, they nailed Lin Chu's waist with the crime of "jealous cousin and vicious". Either because of her previous behavior, or because she was jealous of her background, Lin Chuyi's reputation in Zongxue has always been worrying, but now that there is evidence from her cousin, some people began to gloat, and the ridicule and disgust grew louder.

Sun Yunluo raised his eyebrows, and a little anger appeared on his face, "Miss Lin, what you did was really excessive, right?" You are stupid, it is difficult to graduate from the second year of China, and now you still want to drag your two younger sisters to miss the further education? ”

In fact, she has little contact with this eldest lady of the Lin family, but this person's reputation for being stupid and arrogant has spread all over Shangjing, and because of the preconceived stereotype, she naturally feels that these words are very appropriate for her.

Looking at Sun Yunluo's righteous words, Lin Chu looked at her steadily, and suddenly laughed.

There was a stove in the pavilion, and there was no cold in the house, but Sun Yunluo was inexplicably a little chilly, and goosebumps rose all over his body. Several of her friends standing beside her had shocked expressions on their faces.

Who to laugh at?

She Sun Yunluo?

In the past, if the eldest lady of the Lin family was scolded and fell behind, she would definitely roll around immediately, even if it was her fault, eighty percent would rely on her identity as the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion to reverse black and white. Her parents are not around, no one supports her, Miss Lin Fu is just a false name, and it will make people laugh when she does this. But now, there is no trace of confusion on her face, and she can still smile?

Sun Yunluo forcibly endured the fear in his heart and said in a panic: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Lin Chuwaist put the pen on the bookcase, slowly got up, stopped laughing, and a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly became sharp like a knife, "I laugh at you for being stupid as a pig." ”

"What did you say?" She couldn't believe it, "Even a fool like you who is rated at the bottom every year dare to scold me?" Am I wrong? Why are you? ”

"Why? Do you know why my Lin family's chariot is so exquisite? Because these chariots came from my Lin family's big house, they were forged by my father when he stayed at the border gate, looking for famous craftsmen. The chariot was given to me every year as a birthday gift, but every year my grandmother gave it to my two younger sisters, and they were their own. Miss Sun, you say, what if I deliberately destroy my own things? There was no trace of a smile on Lin Chu's waist.

"You don't know all these inside information, but you only rely on their words to insist that I am vicious, you stand up for others, lower yourself to be someone else's dog, and dare to go crazy and bite me? If I tell my father about this, and let him know that you have wronged me in such a plain way, do you think you will be better? ”

On the surface, he scolded Sun Yunluo for being a dog, but in fact, he scolded Lin Liu and Lin Wei.

Lin Wei was impatient, and she was so excited that she immediately said, "Grandmother, do you dare to beak it?" Your things are naturally the things of the Lin Mansion, and the things of the Lin Mansion are of course arranged by the grandmother! Grandmother gave it to whomever she loved! You're just jealous that your grandmother doesn't like you and doesn't spoil you! ”

As soon as these words came out, several people cast strange eyes.

Lin Chuyin has not been taught since she was a child, and her reputation in Shangjing is quite bad, so it is not very surprising that rude words come out of her mouth. But Lin Wei knows etiquette, and her image in the sect has always been good, and today is the first time she has lost her temper so much.

A delicate-looking girl stuck out her tongue, didn't even look up, and smiled at the textbook: "Miss Lin San's words are strange, don't you get hot and hurt when you hold other people's things in your hands?" It's not that the other two rooms in the Lin Mansion are so poor, otherwise I can't think of why you even have to grab your cousin's birthday gift? ”

Lin Chuyi turned his head to look at her, vaguely remembering that this person was Shen Duyan, the daughter of Taifu. She is a straight person, and the road of life in the first half of her life can be regarded as magnificent. What is embarrassing is that when she was seventeen years old, she was assigned to marry the third son of Emperor Shu, King Chen, that is, her brother-in-law, and finally died in the battle for succession in the Tianyuan Rebellion.

Like her, she fell victim to political struggles.

"No matter how good someone else's thing is, if it's not mine, I won't want it." Shen Duyan put down the textbook, supported his head with his hands, and added another sentence.

Lin Chuyin remembered.

Shen Duyan is still a weirdo, she fell on the steps two years ago, and her personality has changed greatly since she woke up, and she is no longer the taciturn woman she was before, but she has become such a dare to say and do now, and she has an unrestrained temperament.

Taifu has always been good friends with Lin Zheng in the third room of the Lin family, she does not spare Lin Wei because of her father's relationship, and she speaks according to her own ideas. She also refused to marry King Chen, despised serving a husband with her sister, and completely ignored the admonitions left by her ancestors, such as "the words of the matchmaker for the parents".

Lin Chujiao sometimes thinks that maybe those Yi women who have lived on horseback since childhood and have an unrestrained personality are not as open-minded as her.

In a sense, Lin Chujiao was envious of her.

The so-called envy is nothing but something that you can never do.
