Chapter 122: Keeping to Your Duty
Lin Wan had already seen Lin Qinglan's thoughts, and she didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so she smiled faintly and said, "If the third sister has anything to say, just say it, and if you don't atone for your sins, don't mention it again." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info sisters, and the third sister said that it was too angry. ”
Seeing that Lin Wan didn't want to mention the previous things, Lin Qinglan's heart gradually widened, smiled, took Lin Wan's hand and said: "My sister is really kind-hearted, God has eyes, and there will definitely be good fortune in the future." ”
Lin Wan shook her head lightly and said, "Third sister, you don't know Wan'er too well. My sister is not kind-hearted, my sister is just too lazy to bother to harm others, but if someone doesn't want to live a good life, I don't mind doing it once and for all, so as to prevent future troubles. ”
Lin Qinglan's heart was cold, she knew that although Lin Wan's words were said lightly, they were not scareless, she had this ability, and it was effortless. Lin Qinglan swallowed her saliva, and didn't dare to speak anymore after the words, like a defeated rooster, she lowered her head.
After a long time, Lin Wancai asked lightly, "Does the third sister know what Xing Gongzi's background is?"
When Lin Qinglan heard Lin Wan's question, her eyes lit up, thinking that there was still hope, she nodded and said: "Gongzi Xing is the eldest son of the Xing family of the Wang clan in Shandong, and my father said that it is very likely that he will be in the top three in this autumn examination." ”
Lin Wan sighed lightly and said: "Third sister, after Gongzi Xing is a famous family, how can he take a concubine as his wife, not to mention that he is talented, if he is admitted to the top three, the emperor will be happy, and it will not be too much to marry a princess." Could it be that the third sister is willing to be a side room?"
"No! I will never be a concubine. Lin Qinglan blurted out, this is a determination she has long made up her mind in her heart, what she hates most in her life is a concubine, and she will never be a side room again.
Lin Wan nodded and said with a smile: "Third sister, there is nothing wrong with the concubine, and she is not inferior. But if you can't recognize the reality, think about what you can't get, and do whatever you can't do, you are making a big mistake. Why bother to bury a lifetime of happiness in vain?"
The first time Lin Qinglan heard someone say that she was not inferior, her heart was full of excitement, and she looked at Lin Wan's eyes with sparkling, but when she heard the second half of the words, her eyes drooped again.
Lin Wan smiled slightly and continued: "Sister doesn't have to worry about marriage, the daughter of the prime minister's family doesn't worry about getting married, I believe my father will arrange it for my sisters." As long as my sister is not too demanding, it is not difficult to match a suitable lover. Marrying into a famous family is not necessarily more comfortable than living in an ordinary family. What's more, my father's vision is not bad, even if he is a child of a poor family, as long as he has real talent and real learning, and his father has a little support, how can he not have a bright future?"
Lin Qinglan lowered her head and was silent. After a while, he raised his head and said slowly: "Seventh sister, do I really have no hope of marrying into a famous family as the main family?
Lin Wan shook his head lightly and said, "Third sister, don't you see that Xing Gongzi has no intention of you? If Xing Gongzi is really interested in you, I don't mind helping you, but he didn't look at you from beginning to end." ”
Lin Qinglan's eyes dimmed in an instant, and she said faintly: "Among all the sisters, Xing Gongzi only glanced at you a few times. ”
Lin Wan frowned slightly, and said, "He looked at me a few times, and it wasn't necessarily intentional about me. If he really has this mind, then he is even less worthy of his sister's attention. My sister is exhausted, my sister should think about it herself, if she has figured it out, she might as well persuade Aunt Qin and the fifth sister. Lin Wan was already impatient to continue, slowly stood up, and said, "My sister is out of company, so my sister should go back early." ”
Lin Qinglan sat in the Bihu Pavilion, looking at Lin Wan's distant figure, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes were sorrowful, and there was a hint of helplessness and despair. Lin Qinglan is a smart person, it's not that she doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she is arrogant and unwilling.
If Lin Wan just persuaded her softly, she might not be able to listen to it, but Lin Wan said it thoroughly, leaving no room at all, and the needle pierced Lin Qinglan's heart, making her have to admit that what Lin Wan said was the truth. And the meaning is very clear, if she wants to play any tricks, Lin Wan will not let her succeed. There is no other way but to keep to your duty.
It didn't matter how Lin Qinglan decided in the end, for Lin Wan, although she didn't want Lin Qinglan to cause trouble for her, she was not afraid of trouble.
Lin Wan took the green willows and green trees for a slow walk and walked towards the Autumn Garden. Along the way, she listens to Green Willow report to her about what has happened in the house in the past few days, although Green Willow doesn't go out much, but Fluttershy can't stay idle, and when she comes back from a walkaround, the gossip and gossip outside the house reach Green Willow's ears.
And the hottest topic in recent days is Xing Gongzi, it is said that the fifth lady Lin Yunzhu, who has never loved female popularity, is hand-embroidering a purse suitable for men to wear. As for who it is intended to be given to, everyone knows it.
Besides, Aunt Qin, although Mrs. Lin forbade her feet, she did not let Lin Zhihuai go to Lin Yuan. June 30, the day Lin Wan entered the palace, Mrs. Lin went to Lingshan Temple as usual, and came back after incense on the first day of July, although Lin Wan also went to Lingshan Temple that day, but she went late, Mrs. Lin had already left, so she didn't meet.
That day, because Mrs. Lin was not in the house, dinner was eaten in their respective courtyards, and Lin Qinglan went to the study early to invite Lin Zhihuai, Lin Ruiqi and Xing Han to Yilin Yuan for dinner. Lin Ruiqi had already agreed with Aunt Wen that he would go back to Aunt Wen's yard to eat, so only Lin Zhihuai and Xing Han went to Yilin Yuan that day.
According to Fluttershy, that night was a choking night. During the meal, Aunt Qin, the third lady, and the fifth miss were extremely attentive, and after the meal, the third miss stroked the piano to cheer up, and the fifth miss also volunteered to dance. Who knew that the third lady deliberately made it difficult, the rhythm of the piano was slightly fast, and the fifth lady's dancing skills were ordinary, but she accidentally fell down, and she was so angry that she cried her nose, fortunately, there was a master, and the fifth lady did not dare to be presumptuous, so she did not scold the third miss on the spot. However, after the old man and Xing Gongzi left, they heard that the fifth lady had smashed a lot of things in the yard.
After Mrs. Lin returned home, she heard that Lin Zhihuai went to Yilin Yuan, so she lifted Aunt Qin's grounding order, but the middle feed of Lin Xiangfu would never return to Aunt Qin's hands. Mrs. Lin is in good health, and with the help of Mother Du, she can't be tired of taking care of the affairs of the house. If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Lin was not in good health two years ago, Aunt Qin was used to flattering and pleasing her, and it would not be her turn to be in charge of the family.
These days, Lin Zhihuai mostly rests alone in the study, occasionally resting at Aunt Wen and Aunt Chen for two days, but never spending the night at Aunt Qin's. The subordinates also sensed the direction of the wind, and they didn't greet Aunt Qin, the third miss, and the fifth miss as before. In addition, after Mrs. Lin took charge of the house, she carried out a major change of stewardship in the house, and Aunt Qin had completely lost power.
Fluttershy, Angelica, Tomallow and the others are very happy about this, and the maids in the courtyard who have been treated harshly by Aunt Qin are also very relieved. (To be continued.) )
