Chapter 18 Life is a play
For the next few days, Xiyue has been living in seclusion. She had long been accustomed to the life of monasticism, and she was not too accustomed to the feeling of returning to the red dust. Even if she went out a few days ago, she stood alone and watched the prosperity of the world, which was incompatible with the world.
In the past few days, Liu Yun has finally finished moving, and she has purchased everything, and she has begun to return to the life of a rich wife. It's okay to drink tea, play cards. As a wife, communication is a must. Although Liu Yun has just moved to Shanghai, she has been here before and knows a few people. As soon as she was free, she went out for a walk when she was idle, and got acquainted with the aristocratic circle here as soon as possible. No, today she made a host and invited some wives to come to her house to play cards. Rich wives usually don't have much pastime, except for shopping and listening to plays, they also play cards, which can also pull some relationships for their own men, find out the news or something.
"Ouch, Mrs. Lin, your yard is so beautiful, look at this flower is more beautiful than other places." A lady with a Shanghainese accent said complimentally.
"Mrs. Wang, you have won the prize." Liu Yun modestly paused.
"Mrs. Lin is too modest, this flower is indeed blooming. Our family is less than half of yours, isn't there a secret? Another lady wearing a black and red cheongsam next to her said with a smile.
Hearing the compliment, Liu Yun was of course also happy: "What's the secret, we just moved here a few days ago, if there is a secret, it's from the previous family." “
"Mrs. Lin is really blessed, when we moved, the flower in the garden, not to mention how bad it was." This is the third wife, the youngest one, who is also brightly dressed.
"Yes, we are like this too, so Mrs. Lin is so blessed. Looking at this flower, you know that this place has good feng shui, and Mrs. Lin will definitely be blessed in the future. Mrs. Wang said.
"Ah, Mrs. Lin, who is that young lady, she looks so beautiful." The lady in the black and red cheongsam said suddenly.
Liu Yun followed Mrs. Wang's line of sight, and a very beautiful picture appeared in front of her. Among the delicate flowers, a woman in a light blue dress sits on a white hanging chair and reads through a book. The woman is quiet and graceful, and she is spiritual, like a fairy in a flower. Looking at it from this angle, I only saw the woman's side face, but it was still very beautiful, and the red lips were more delicate than the flowers next to her.
Liu Yun admired the beauty in her heart, but she didn't see anything on her face, and said calmly: "That's my sister-in-law, Xiyue." ”
"Ouch, Mrs. Lin, I really didn't know you had such a beautiful sister-in-law. Tsk, I'm going to be jealous as a woman. "It was Mrs. Zhou who was wearing bright clothes, and she was full of envy at the moment.
"Mrs. Zhou, you are too awarded, you are also a beauty." Although Liu Yun's words are modest, her tone is very proud, which shows the attitude that a sister-in-law should have.
Mrs. Wang looked at the beauty in the distance and said, "Mrs. Lin is blessed to have such a beautiful sister." I'm afraid that the young masters on the beach are all going to pounce in front of your house. ”
"I really don't know which son has such a good blessing. It's a pity that my son is still too young, otherwise I would have wanted this daughter-in-law. Mrs. Liu, who was wearing the most luxurious black and red cheongsam, said. It's a pity that her son is only five years old, even if Xi Yue is five years older, she has to rob this daughter-in-law.
"Mrs. Lin, can you please Miss Lin come over and meet us. It's so beautiful from a distance, and you don't know what kind of stunning it is up close. Mrs. Wang said.
Liu Yun actually didn't want to disturb Xiyue, but at this moment, when these wives said this, she was embarrassed to refuse, it was really a bit difficult to ride a tiger.
Xiyue in the distance actually knew the situation here for a long time, and their conversation had already been heard. She knew that Liu Yun was a little embarrassed, so it was not a big deal, so she walked over by herself.
"Sister-in-law, ladies and gentlemen, hello." Xiyue walked over generously and elegantly, nodded slightly, and said hello.
"Oh, I thought it was beautiful just now, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful up close. It's really a beautiful country. Mrs. Liu looked Xiyue up and down, and her eyes were full of appreciation. is beautiful, dignified, and has a good family background, of course, except for being too beautiful, no matter how you look at it, she is the best candidate for daughter-in-law.
"I've never seen anyone so beautiful." Mrs. Wang said. It is rare that the person is beautiful, but there is no frivolous and arrogant atmosphere, which makes people feel good.
Mrs. Zhou said: "Mrs. Lin, you are really good at hiding, you should have taken your sister out for a long time." By the way, Sister Ling has been married. "Pull a matchmaker or something, don't be too common in aristocratic circles. It's a great job, you have something to do, and if you do it, you can make a friend or something, and even if you don't succeed, you can make a friend or something.
"You talk, I'll go first, ladies, I hope you have fun." Xi Yue pretended to be shy and walked away.
"Oh, Mrs. Zhou, look at you, the little girl is thin-skinned, and you don't know it." Mrs. Liu pretended to be angry and said, she still wanted to have a good chat with Xiyue.
"Oops, my fault." Mrs. Zhou smiled and confessed.
"Three ladies, let's go in, it's windy in the courtyard. I happened to make some desserts at home, and we went out to try them. We'll open the game in a while, and last time I lost a lot, and I'll have to turn the tables around. Liu Yun attracted the attention of several people with a word, and talked happily about playing cards.
Xi Yue returned to the room and exhaled softly, she was so tired from acting, she still played a shy lady. Xi Yue didn't dare to recall her shyness just now, it was really goosebumps. When will she have this little woman posture, or does she really have acting talent. But fortunately, the matter has finally passed.
But Xiyue didn't know that things really began. The favorite thing in the aristocratic circle is gossip, and the rumor that Mrs. Lin has an extremely beautiful sister-in-law spread all of a sudden. It spread very quickly, at first it was among these wives, and then it reached the ears of the sons and brothers in Shanghai. And Xiyue's troubled life began with those sons.
Let's not talk about the rest for the time being, after Xi Yue returned to the room, he was about to practice for a while, and Lin Muyuan, a little ghost, came to Xi Yue's room with a probe of his brain.
"Come in." Xiyue said.
"Auntie" Lin Muyuan cried out sweetly.
Xiyue is still very useful, Lin Muyuan has red lips and white teeth, and he is a very small Zhengtai, which makes people like it when he looks at it.
"What are you looking for me?"
"Auntie, take me out to play. Mom was playing cards, and I was so bored at home alone. Lin Muyuan walked to the edge of Xiyue and began to be coquettish.
"Xin'er, go play with Xin'er." Xi Yue gave a suggestion, she didn't want to go out much.
"My sister and Xiaoxia Liu's mother went out, and I was home alone. Auntie, you can take me out to play, the osmanthus cake you bought back last time was delicious, I still want to eat it, let's go buy it together. Lin Muyuan hugged Xiyue's arm and shook it around, like a pug.
Hearing the osmanthus cake, Xi Yue was a little moved, and she hadn't eaten it for several days. It just so happened that there was nothing to do, there was someone at home, and she didn't want to join, so she just went out to go out for a walk.
"Okay, but you have to be good, you can't run around." Xiyue warned in advance, don't look at Lin Muyuan looking very well-behaved, but he is naughty. And the little head is ghostly, Xiyue has a hunch that he must be black-bellied when he grows up.
"Uh-huh." Lin Muyuan happily pecked the rice.
"Auntie, let's go." Lin Muyuan went to school for a few days and couldn't wait to go out.
Xi Yue walked out with Lin Muyuan empty-handed, taking a handbag, it seemed too hypocritical to Xi Yue, and she didn't have anything to pretend.
