Chapter 4: Fishing in Troubled Waters

In the early morning, the sky was just white. Lin Yi'an got up from the couch, and Lichun came in with water: "It's not dawn yet, why did Miss get up so early today?" ”

Lin Yi'an put on his dress, sat in front of the dressing mirror and instructed lightly: "Lichun, prepare more breakfast today." ”

"Miss is hungry?" Lichun was puzzled.

Lin Yi said quietly: "There is a visitor. ”

Lichun didn't ask anymore, the last time she thought that Aunt Liu would not lack food and clothing no matter how bad she was, until she inquired several times later, she learned that Aunt Liu was not only short of food and clothing, she was already terminally ill, and she didn't even invite a doctor. It was a bleak day, and the old man didn't ask half a word, which made people feel extremely cold.

After this incident, she knew that her young lady had a seven-trick exquisite heart, and the will of heaven was unpredictable, but the human heart was a quasi-child. So she didn't ask now, so she retreated and changed the autumn equinox to comb her hair.

The autumn equinox mouth is also skillful, and the same style of hair bun pulled out of her hand has a little more aura than others. The autumn equinox is idle, and he doesn't forget to take the Li family out for a walk while doing the work in his hands: "During dinner last night, the second lady and the third lady went to the eldest lady to make a fuss. What do you say Mr. Nangong is from Shangyi, and he is the top among the female teachers, and the eldest lady must have a bowl of water, otherwise she will go to the banquet outside to find those Yejing ladies and gentlemen. ”

"Miss, is Mr. Nangong really that good? can make the second lady not hesitate to make trouble and talk about the reputation of the eldest lady. The third lady is too, and she doesn't have a daughter under her knees, so she went to join in the fun. The autumnal equinox pouted.

Lin Yi'an glanced at the autumn equinox and said patiently: "Shangyi Bureau is one of the six monks of the harem, holding the etiquette and living, offering the royal scriptures, the ceremony of the palace banquet and the music of Chen Bu, and the ceremony of the harem to order the women and concubines to meet the court, and praise the ceremony of guidance." It can be called a model of women's etiquette in the whole dynasty. Mr. Nangong was formerly in the harem as Shangyi, if he can learn from her, he will definitely be famous in Yejing, and his vision when looking for relatives will be a few points higher. You say, such a good thing, how could the second lady let the big house be occupied? ”

"Such a powerful character, if he can become Miss's teacher, wouldn't it be a great joy?" The autumn equinox is shining. I can't wait to tie up Mr. Nangong and accept my own lady as a student.

Lin Yi'an smiled: "How can it be as simple as you think." Mr. Nangong has deep qualifications and eyes are above the top, and only the young lady of the family can enter the eyes. ”

"The rules are set, so won't we be beaten to death with a stick." The autumnal equinox is a bit stunned, and it would be a shame if such a good opportunity was missed.

"Not really." Lin Yi'an changed his words, with a faint smile between his eyebrows, "After all, rules are dead, and people are alive." Come with your ears, and I'll have something to tell you. ”

After the private words of the master and servant were finished, Lin Yi'an raised his eyes and looked at the heavenly dao that had just seen the light outside the window: "It's time to arrive." For the autumn equinox, go and prepare two cups of hot tea. ”

As soon as the words fell, the maid who was sweeping outside was outside the curtain: "Miss Fifth has arrived." ”

"Please come to the second room, and I'll come here." Lin Yi'an got up, and the autumn equinox hurriedly took a soft wool brocade cloak and put it on Lin Yi'an, "The next time it should be colder, Miss is recovering from a serious illness, don't suffer from the cold again." ”

Lin Yi'an patted her hand gently, "It's not a big deal, you go and see Lichun, if you prepare breakfast, you can send it." ”

Lin Yuzhu walked to the second room and sat down, she tossed and turned last night, unable to sleep peacefully. Her mind was full of Aunt Liu's weak appearance in her illness, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled by her unconsciously. It wasn't until there was a noise outside the door that she came back to her senses.

"I haven't seen each other all night, and the fifth sister seems to be a little different." Lin Yi'an sat down with a smile.

Lin Yuzhu looked at the gentle sister in front of him with deep meaning, and slowly spoke: "This time I came to thank my sister." ”

"Lin Yi'an is shallow-eyed, and he is only dedicated to self-preservation, how can he be idle and nosy?" Lin Yi'an paused, and then his tone changed: "But the matter of the fifth sister is not an idle matter here for Lin Yi'an." ”

Lin Yuzhu didn't talk, she knew that this sixth sister was not simple.

"Yesterday, my sister said to me, it is not easy for us to have a lot of concubines, we have no power or power, and if we don't talk about our future, we say that our biological mother is not allowed to be close. In the past, I thought that with more patience, I would always be able to live this day. But as you can see, my brother's life and death are still unknown, and my aunt has not escaped death after leaving the Lin Mansion for five years. The so-called dead lips and cold teeth, when the fifth sister saw this, didn't she ever think about herself? ”

The long words made Lin Yuzhu tremble. She also has a brother, and she also has an aunt. Lin Lin Yi'an was in front, how could she not be afraid that the same thing would happen to her again?

"Now that I have no aunt, no brother, and no one at home, I have long since lost my threat. The fifth sister is smart, and she should understand who Lin Yi'an will be next. ”

Lin Yuzhu's heart sank and sank, and after a long time, she spoke: "Don't let your sister go, why does the sixth sister want to find my sister?" ”

"I only have one relative left in this world, Wei Niang, I will protect her just like the fifth sister protects Aunt Liu and the fourth brother. It's just that I don't know if I can take care of each other in the second half of my sister's sentence yesterday? ”

This explanation is clear, Lin Yuzhu nodded, and said helplessly: "What if I am in the same boat with you now?" As long as the eldest lady is in charge of the family for a day, there will be no day for us to come out! Knowing the result but doing it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”

Lin Yi'an smiled: "Yes." As long as the eldest lady is in charge of the family for a day, we will have no future. But if it's not her who is in charge...... That's another story. ”

Lin Yuzhu was shocked, how could only two concubines reverse the situation in this huge Lin Mansion? She re-examined Lin Yi'an with an extremely complicated gaze: "My sister has an idea?" ”

"The road has to be taken step by step, and this matter is not in a hurry." While talking, Lichun came over and knocked on the door and asked, "Miss, do you want to pass breakfast?"

"Let's eat." Lin Yi'an replied, looked at Lin Yuzhu and said, "I want to come to the fifth sister before she has time to eat early in the morning, so she will be here with my sister." ”

"Then it's going to bother my sister." Lin Yuzhu looked at the breakfast for two on the table, and said without being salty: "It seems that my sister expected me to come." ”

Lin Yi'an smiled: "Didn't the fifth sister also expect Lin Yi'an's intentions?" Lin Yi paused, and while serving Lin Yuzhu with vegetables, he said, "Does the fifth sister know about Mr. Nangong?"

Lin Yuzhu nodded: "The two ladies in the second and third rooms are all in the courtyard of the eldest lady, and it is difficult to think about it." ”

"Now that the eldest lady is in charge, it seems that the winning side is in the big house." Lin Yi paused and said, "Fifth sister, do you know that Mr. Nangong only accepts one student in Lin Mansion?"

Lin Yuzhu nodded, a little unclear. Lin Yi'an raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "It's just that we have two sisters-in-law, and I don't know who to go to." ”

"What does my sister mean......" Lin Yuzhu instantly understood the deep meaning of Lin Yi'an's words, and she turned to smile and said, "Let them eat dogs?"

"There is an opportunity to worship under Mr. Nangong, and these two sisters-in-law will not let it go easily. It's an easy thing to do. But if we muddy the water, and the eldest lady notices it, then let's ......" Lin Yuzhu wrung his veil thoughtfully.

"Sister." Lin Yi'an interrupted her, "When the water is clear, there are no fish." If we don't muddy the waters, how can we fish in troubled waters?"

Lin Yuzhu looked at Lin Yi'an with some hesitation, it was a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, the autumn water was hazy, and the eye waves were flowing, like the mist of distant mountains could not be seen clearly. The only thing that can be determined is the ambition hidden in those beautiful eyes.
