Chapter 2: Find an ally
It had just rained overnight, and the raindrops fell from the tips of the eaves onto the neatly laid bluestone slabs. The small and delicate copper incense burner on the table is lit with Ruimei incense, which smells plum fragrance in the cold winter season, and the soft fragrance is full of fragrance.
Two tall maids stood beside the soft couch, carefully tucking the quilt for the girl on the bed.
"Auntie, our young lady is completely out of support and thoughts. Miss Tian'er, who was so cold, knelt for three days wearing linen and filial piety, although the high fever had subsided, she fell asleep for a day and a night, and it stands to reason that she should wake up. What should we do if Miss can't wake up? The pink-clad maid looked anxious.
"Lichun, what nonsense are you talking about! Miss is just suffering from some cold, how can she not wake up? Even if my aunt goes, our girl is also the daughter of the uncle who broke the bones and tendons, who can treat her harshly! ”
"Autumn equinox, we are playing with Miss, why don't I want Miss to be good?" Lichun was so aggrieved that he shed tears: "The eldest lady couldn't tolerate the incense full hall, so she said that the funeral of the aunt could not be done for three or four days, and the eldest lady withdrew early with the excuse of the New Year's pass, and even Aunt Surong didn't know where she was sent." I heard Sister Baojuan say yesterday that the eldest lady is going to withdraw us, if we leave, then the young lady will really have no caring person! ”
Lichun's words all talked about the heart of the autumn equinox, thinking of what happened to Aunt Wen, thinking of the delicate little person on the bed, and thinking of all kinds of cynicism in the other courtyard. The autumn equinox also had red eyes, and simply hugged Lichun and cried together.
The more they cried, the more sad they became, and the louder they wept, and the person who was asleep on the bed couldn't help frowning slightly, and there was a sound.
"You ...... What are you crying about? A weak voice came from the bed.
The crying stopped abruptly. The autumn equinox held Lin Yi'an's hand, and the tip of his nose was sour: "Miss, what's uncomfortable?" When you knelt down, you fainted, and fell asleep for a day and a night. ”
"Miss just woke up, just drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." Lichun handed over a cup of hot tea.
Lin Yi'an looked at the two people in front of him thoughtfully and asked, "What about Aunt Surong?" ”
The two were stunned at the same time, Lichun bit his lip and refused to speak, and Qiu Equinox smiled reluctantly: "Aunt Surong has been sent to do other errands." Miss, don't worry about it, there are slaves and maids and Lichun here. ”
If it was before, whenever the autumn equinox was so forceful and laughing to explain to her, she would not ask too much. Because Lin Lin Yi'an had no pursuit or obsession in the past, he remembered forbearance and just wanted to live in secret. It's a pity that Lin Lin Yi'an in the past has long followed Aunt Lin.
"Lichun, you say." Lin Yi'an looked at the girl in pink with tears on her face. She couldn't know these two girls well. Lichun is honest and sincere, and he has a lot of things in his heart, but he can't lie the most. The autumn equinox is hearty, and a clever mouth can say black to white, but the thinking is not long-term.
Seeing Lin Yi'an like this, Lichun's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up and said: "The eldest lady said that Aunt Surong is the old person of her aunt, and she was afraid that you would miss her when you saw her, so she took her away." The slave inquired a few times, but she didn't know where Aunt Surong was sent. ”
Su Rong is Aunt Wen's old person, and now that she has been taken away by the eldest lady, I am afraid that life will not be easy. The hand under the brocade gradually clenched: "Autumn equinox, you continue to inquire about Aunt Surong's whereabouts." Lichun, you go to find out how Aunt Liu's life is. ”
The two of them agreed, and then the autumn equinox asked: "The eldest lady has always disliked the young ladies who are too close to the aunt. Why did the young lady ask about Aunt Liu? ”
"It's a big Lin Mansion, how can you fight alone? Naturally, we need to find an ally. Lin Yi'an explained lightly.
Both of them were shocked in their eyes. Lin Yi'an's forbearance in the past is still vivid, and the meaning of this non-trivial sentence today is very clear to them. However, how did the young lady suddenly figure it out? In the past, they often gave Lin Yi'an ideas, but Lin Yi'an firmly rejected them every time. This...... Could it be a serious illness, is it really transparent? The beginning of spring and the autumn equinox looked at Lin Yi'an almost at the same time, and his beautiful face was cold, which made people inexplicably feel a little solemn and respectful.
"Fifth Miss is indeed a person with a blue heart, and it would be a good thing if she could help her." Lichun thought about it for a while, and quickly figured out the joints.
There is a concubine in the big house of the Lin Mansion, except for Aunt Wen, there is only one Aunt Liu left. She has a son and a daughter, and her son Lin Zhi is fifteen this year and four years old. Under the suggestion of Lin Zhenwen, he worked as an errand in the ruling gold guard. Daughter Lin Yuzhu is fourteen years old and five. is humble, advances and retreats decently, and can retreat under the many difficulties of the eldest lady. It can be seen that he is a smart person.
Lichun then hesitated and said: "It's just that Aunt Liu has a son and a daughter after all, and she is not favored now, and she will not be too harsh for the sake of fame." ”
"Whether you treat it or not, you can go and see." Lin Yi'an said.
The eldest lady Li is jealous, Lin Yuzhu is just her daughter's family, and there is a Lin Zhi who gives her a headache. Lin Zhi will be sixteen after the New Year, and now he is in the limelight under Lin Zhenwen's promotion. And her sister-in-law Lin Feng is only nine years old. How could she tolerate a concubine walking ahead of her own son? How could he let go of the Liu family who gave birth to this concubine? What's more, the Liu family has long fallen out of favor in old age, and now it is the head of the Li family, and the concubines and concubines are not allowed to get close to their aunts, and the news is sealed to death. How the Liu family is doing, I'm afraid even Lin Zhi and Lin Yuzhu don't know.
