Lin Shu frowned when she heard the first half of the sentence, who would come and say that the other's wasn't good? However, when she heard the latter half of Yao's sentence, her brows relaxed a little, "The capital is under the feet of the Emperor, and every inch of land is worth a fortune. Naturally, it cannot compare to Yangzhou … I know that the Brother Yao has good intentions, but I hope that you can be cautious when you speak of it in your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. "
Even though he was the youngest son of Lian Family, he had followed his father into and out of the shop since childhood. He knew best what he should say when he was in the shop, but now that he saw his chubby cousin, he only wanted to test out her reaction.
All these years, when his father and mother talked about his aunt and cousin, their words were filled with sighs. He didn't know when it had happened, but he had always felt sorry for his cousin.
If she wanted to become his wife, she would have to see if this cousin of hers had the ability to do so. After all, in his mother's mouth, although this cousin of his was not a bad person, she was a proud one.
However, these words didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance in them. The smile on Yao Yao's face grew even wider, "What, are you afraid that I'll lose face for you and your aunt?"
"Face?" Do you think that face can be eaten, or do you think it can be spent like silver? " "But compared to First Aunt and Second Aunt, whose families were born, mother's life in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is indeed not that good. Especially with Grandmother's side, they would occasionally pick on Mother's mistakes, and the thing I'm afraid of is that Cousin would say the wrong thing, and would cause a ruckus in people's ears, and at that time, Mother would still be the one who suffers."
After saying that, she gave a deep look at Lian Yao and said in a low voice, "Brother Yao said just now that my mother and I are not having a good time at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. I hope Brother Yao can think of Mother's behalf more."
How was his cousin arrogant? He was clearly a considerate person.
For a time, even Yao was rendered speechless by that pair of clear eyes. Just as he was about to speak again, an exclamation rang out from not too far away, "Sister Shu, Sister Shu, wait for me …"
Lin Shu turned her head to look, who else could it be other than Lin Hui?
Lin Hui jogged all the way while panting heavily, she spoke out: "Just now, I went to the Linglong Pavilion to look for you, and the servant girl there said that you went to the Fanghua Garden, and waited for me to go to the Fanghua Garden, and then there was a maid that said that you went out, you sure made it easy for me to find you …"
Now that he and Lin Shu had become close friends, and had to meet once or twice a day, Grand Madam was naturally happy to see his granddaughter in harmony, but First Madam wasn't too happy anymore, and even asked Lin Hui to spend more time with Second Branch Lin Qian.
But Lin Hui was also a stubborn one. Not only did she not get close with Lin Qian, she even became distant from her. First Madam doted on her, and every time she returned from the Linglong Pavilion with a smile on her face, she would stop talking for a long time.
"What are you doing looking for me in such a hurry?" Lin Shu smiled as she looked at her. Before she could say anything, she introduced her, "This is my cousin who came from Yangzhou, please call him Brother Yao along with me."
With that, she looked towards Yao Yun, "This is my daughter from First Aunt, my third cousin, Lin Hui."
Even Yao Yao nodded his head and kept his indifferent attitude and arrogance towards Lin Shu, smiling as she greeted, "Third Miss."
Lin Hui shot a glance at him, but her ears had started to turn red. She who had always been carefree did not even greet him, and had instead pulled Lin Shu to the side. Didn't your cousin say that he was waiting for the end of New Year's Eve at Yangzhou and the beginning of spring to come back to the capital? "
Lin Shu said with a smile: "My aunt thinks that Brother Yao's studies are the most important thing. If I were to send my cousin to the capital earlier, I would be able to learn a few things from the masters.
After saying that, she turned her head and asked, "Brother Yao, do you think …"
However, where could he find Yao Yao?
Lin Hui pursed her lips and laughed, "Just now, he already left, and it was fortunate that you didn't know anything."
However, Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed, "I think Brother Yao must be thinking that since he is an outsider, it is inconvenient for him to stay here when we are young ladies. That's why he left first."
On the other hand, Lin Hui looked at his figure that was walking away, and laughed: "This person, is different from the others."
Although she was very carefree, she wasn't unaware of anything. Her father was a trusted general, and her mother was a direct descendant of the Jin'ling Kong Family. Whenever they went out to socialize, both men and women would greet her.
Lin Shu did not think too much into it, and only pulled her sleeve: "You came looking for me in such a hurry, is there something urgent?"
"Aiya, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten!" Lin Hui slapped her forehead, and smiled: "I just found out from Grandmother, they said that the National Duke Ning's Palace sent a message to our family, they said that it was the birthday of the Grand Madam's Palace's Grand Madam, and invited us to congratulate them. The moment I received the news, I came over quickly to tell you."
A birthday feast for National Duke Ning s of the National Duke Ning Palace?
Lin Shu vaguely remembered that something like this happened in his previous life. It was just that in his previous life, she had attracted the loathing of the Grand Madam, and at that time, Lin Lian was rather favoured in front of the Grand Madam.
When he returned, he even showed off his wealth towards her non-stop, saying how the National Duke Ning Palace was so extravagant.
The reason why she remembered it so well was because she felt wronged and secretly cried.
But now that she thought of the National Duke Ning Palace, Lin Shu thought of the time when the person who fell into the water in the Duke Chengan Palace came. She wondered how the Master Ningguogongfuda was doing right now, "When did it happen?"
Lin Hui counted with her fingers, and said: "At the beginning of September, we still have about half a month's time! I heard that the National Duke Ning Mistress' brother, the Elder Zhang, was highly regarded by the Emperor recently. The Mistress was so happy that he didn't seem to be able to act crazy for his brother.
Lin Shu laughed, whoever changed their identity with the National Duke Ning Mistress would probably be arrogant. This person, indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant.
When this matter reached Madam Lian's ears, she was extremely happy. She pulled Lin Shu's hand and said, "... When the time comes, you will have to follow behind your grandmother, the First Aunt and the rest of the Second Aunt. There should not be any mistakes, this National Duke Ning is not like us, if there is any mistake, your grandmother will not forgive you. "
Lin Shu smiled: "Don't worry, I understand."
Now that Grand Madam was old, he rarely went out to eat. He thought that he would go to National Duke Ning's birthday feast, but would he go there too?
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible to raise it up again. Princess Changze was still a lady after all, walking around in such a manner might not be a good idea.
Now, the Princess Changze was a thorn in Lin Shu's heart, she could even conclude that Lin Pei was already entangled with the Princess Changze, that the Auntie Zhong was being confined, that there was no one by Lin Pei's side to serve him, and that the Grand Madam had said it several times in front of Lin Pei, to give him a considerate person, but Lin Pei had even excused himself from doing business.
Grand Madam only thought that Lin Pei was sad about the matter between Auntie Zhong and Tang Geer, and it wasn't easy to force it on her.
However, Lin Shu knew that all of this was an excuse. There were several times when she smelled a faint fragrance from Lin Pei's body, and this Xian Xiang'er was not at all like the vulgar fragrance of the land of fireworks, and there were even some that were cool and sweet. Even the high grade spices sent by her uncle from the Yangzhou were not comparable, it was clear that this was something that only the noblest person in the palace could use.
Thinking about it, Lin Shu felt a headache, but she still couldn't say these words in front of her mother. She could only tell her mother to be careful, so as to not anger Grand Madam and Lin Pei.
There was only half a year left before his mother died. This was a critical moment, so he naturally had to be careful.
In the blink of an eye, the birthday of National Duke Ning s arrived. This morning, Lin Shu went to pay respects to Grand Madam with her Green Pine Academy.
Of course, there was no Lin Lian amongst them. If it was the Duke Chengan Palace, then it would be fine if Lin Lian, a concubine, was going there. But what kind of place was the National Duke Ning Palace? Naturally, Grand Madam would not embarrass her.
Grand Madam did not mention anything about bringing Lin Lian, even though Lin Lian had been in front of Second Madam and said some words a few times, Second Madam acted as if he did not understand anything, and came back early in the morning with Lin Qian.
The men would have to wait for the morning assembly before heading over. Grand Madam nodded in satisfaction when he saw his daughter-in-law's granddaughter dressed up.
Grand Madam, First Madam and Second Madam would be in the same carriage, while the other three girls would be in the same carriage.
was the oldest, and was unable to suppress the joy in his heart. Unlike when she was dozing off in a horse carriage to Duke Chengan Palace, when she thought about the possibility that there might be a prince in National Duke Ning Palace with her today, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart no matter how hard she tried.
Lin Hui sat up straight. She had not even arrived at the National Duke Ning Palace, and did not even dare to move an inch.
When Lin Shu saw it, she could not stop laughing.
"Sister Shu, don't laugh at me. If you can still laugh after going to the National Duke Ning's Palace, then I'll be considered formidable!" Lin Hui's hand was already sweating profusely as she said softly: "You don't know how grand the National Duke Ning Palace is, just the National Duke Ning's Madam has more than ten maids following his. Just look, the last timehe went to the Duke Chengan's Palace, she did not bring many maids with his, presumably afraid that the atmosphere would cause people to gossip, but they are all different at home, probably because it feels good to be so, take a look, the maids by his side are all like fairies."
She continued in a low voice, "I still remember that a few years ago, National Duke Ning s from National Duke Ning Palace asked me my name and what kind of book I read. When I came back, I was scolded like this by my mother and sister, and looking at my appearance, I couldn't help but want to be punished to kneel in the Ancestral Hall."
