Lin Shu looked deeply into Lin Hui's eyes, and as expected, she saw that Lin Hui seemed to be eating a Lotus Leaf Chicken, but her eyes kept on looking at Lian Yao from time to time, to the point that even when she was staring, she did not notice at all.
It's over!
This was the first thought that came to Lin Shu's mind. Lin Hui had been raised by the First Madam since he was young, and her personality was very mischievous, even when she was young she had not changed much. Although the First Madam normally scolded her a lot, in the end, most of them were always the First Madam's pampered daughters, and she had given way … Just that this time, the First Madam would not budge at all.
After the meal, Lin Hui did not mention that she had to leave.
The Madam Lian had originally wanted to let Lin Shu and Yao'er form a relationship, but with Lin Hui here, she could only send them out to play.
Wasn't it when she was young that she had once played chess with Lin Qian? At that time, she had lost completely, and she had never felt anything about it, since Lin Qian's chess skills were taught by her second uncle since she was young, how could he be like this? Even if there was a female master at home, it would still be like playing chess with a fish in the sky or a fish in the sun.
But at that time, even with Yao'er standing beside her and giving her pointers, she had won. Lin Qian was so angry that she pushed away the whole board of chess and left angrily.
From that time on, she only thought of one day making Brother Yao look at her with new eyes, and decided to learn chess seriously from her master. Sister Shu, Zhang Yuanqing will be carried into the Third Prince's Mansion in a few days, do you think we should give her some? "
Ever since Lin Shu had arrived at the Villa, Zhang Yuanqing and Lin Shu did not have any further interactions, but Zhang Yuanqing was a smart person, and had a lot of interactions with him.
Lin Shu thought for a moment, then said: "We should still send some things over. Although we shouldn't have a great feast that day, the emperor will most likely give her some face since she is the only granddaughter of the Zhang Family, and when the time comes, there will probably be more gifts sent down from the palace. Whether you like it or not is her business, but whether you do it or not is our business.
She had already predicted Zhang Yuanqing's future. Although Zhang Yuanqing did have a few tricks up his sleeves, his schemes were nothing in front of Wang Manjing, not to mention that he even had a Third Princess … Furthermore, there was nothing going on between her and Zhang Yuanqing. This was a normal human relationship, there was no need to blame Zhang Yuanqing.
Lin Hui supported her cheeks with one hand and nodded: "What you said makes sense, at that time I will call my mother to go to the Jewelry Pavilion and take care of everything, I'm afraid that Zhang Family will not be able to bring out any proper dowry."
"But we have to agree that you must tell me what you want to give me, and that you can't compare me with him. Tell me, it's best if you give me a bracelet or a hairpin, in case you get interested and give me something good, then I won't have a place to put my face."
Lin Shu only laughed, "Don't worry, I won't." She wasn't that stupid!
After saying that, she pointed to the chessboard and said somewhat helplessly, "Third sister, are you repenting again? When I was at the Manor, you often told me that First Aunt had invited a female master for you, and even said that your chess skills had improved a lot.
Lin Hui could only reluctantly take back the chess piece and put it back on the table, "Alright, alright, I won't regret anymore, let's play it well."
As she spoke, she looked at Blackie, who no longer had any chances of winning, and mumbled, "I remember that when we were young, our skills were pretty much the same. How did you become so powerful?"
Lin Shu did not even want to bother with her, she had already let her play a few games, and was unlucky that she said something about increasing her chess skills, and wanted to spar with her for a bit, "I'm afraid that you followed the female master to learn chess, and you're not even thinking about it, why are you blaming me?"
Lin Hui saw that she had already lost completely, so she messed up the chess board and said: "This game of chess is not fun at all, why do people like to play chess so much … Why don't we go to the garden and break the lotus flowers? "
Outside, the sun was high in the sky, and it was the hottest time of the day to hear the shouts and cries.
Lin Shu rolled his eyes at her, she was afraid that Lin Hui did not have any good intentions towards her, and wanted to go from Fanghua Garden to the flower garden, and the closest path was through the back door of Fanghua Garden, which meant that they had to go through a room where Yao Yao was taking an afternoon nap, "How did you become so diligent? First Aunt usually asks you to visit the flower garden more often when you are free, but other than coming to my place, you don't even want to take a step! "
She had already gradually discerned Lin Hui's thoughts, but now there was nothing she could do.
Lin Hui blinked her eyes and said seriously: "When I went to pay respects to Grandmother today, Lian Jieer was there as well. She broke a few lotus flowers for Grandmother very early in the morning, which caused her to look really good to me. I think that lotus flower is not bad, so I thought that we should go and break a few flowers and bring them back. Otherwise, Lian Jieer would break a few flowers today, and more than a few flowers tomorrow, what if all the lotus flowers in the garden get broken by her? "
This excuse was really clumsy, but it also seemed like it was something that only she could come up with.
Lin Shu didn't even have the intention to stand up and just said: "Do you know how many lotuses there are in the lake? Even if the Lian Jieer were to really pick it, after a few days when the lotus flower bud has bloomed again and the lotus flowers have filled the whole garden, what are you worried about? Furthermore, I can see that you don't usually like those flowers and flowers. "
These words were simple enough, she just wanted to point at her nose and say that you just want to go over to see Brother Yao.
Lin Hui did not understand, she only shook off her hand, shouted an ear of incense, and went to the garden to pick lotus flowers.
Lin Shu shook her head, this world was truly filled with misfortune and blessings. In her previous life, when the Brother Yao did not go to the capital, Lin Hui could still barely marry into the Huaiyin Palace, but with Lin Hui's personality, it was hard to say for sure …
It was the First Madam who came forward to receive him. In this life, although he did not have a illustrious daughter-in-law like his, Princess Changze, his clan could still just barely be considered one of the top Honorable House in the upper echelons of the capital. To be selected by the Huaiyin Palace was something that could be considered to be expected.
First Madam was still the same as in her previous life, she felt that the number one disciple in the Huaiyin Palace was too low.
Thinking that the marriage between her eldest son and eldest daughter was not that good, First Madam became even more nervous.
The old Earl Lord of the Huaiyin Palace passed away a few years ago. Not only did the population of the family become simple, the Huaiyin was also an easy person to get along with. Normally, the old lady would stay at the buddhist hall all day long without stepping out of the big doors even if they had to eat and cultivate while chanting buddhist charms. I have seen her a few times when I went to offer incense in the Dafu Temple, and her eyebrows were calm and her face was kind.
"Huaiyin doesn't have a younger sister. When the time comes, there will be no nanny to criticize them and no sister-in-law to sow discord … Furthermore, the Huaiyin Palace is considered the most powerful family in the capital, and has the protection of the esteemed imperial concubine. Why wouldn't you be satisfied with this marriage? "
A simple population meant that there weren't many officials in the imperial court. They didn't have much to say in front of the emperor, so they couldn't get involved with the central rights of the imperial court. This was both a disadvantage and a benefit, for families like this, as long as they didn't make any mistakes, the title could be passed on from generation to generation.
However, the First Madam was still somewhat hesitant, "It seems that there is no one in the entire Huaiyin Palace who can speak up like this in front of the Emperor … I always feel like I should look at it again. "
This son-in-law was always eager to pick everything.
The Grand Madam looked at her angrily, "Do you think this Huaiyin is a cabbage or a radish, allowing you to pick and choose freely? But now, as long as you reveal the intention of looking up to others, tomorrow's Huaiyin's marriage can be set … Forget it, you won't listen to me. Sis Hui'er is your daughter after all, I'm too lazy to worry about her. "
"From what you said, it's not that I feel that the Huaiyin is bad, but I always want to see if there are any better ones." First Madam panicked, she was afraid that if Grand Madam was angered to death, she would become the sinner of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. "Didn't I think that since I haven't chosen the marriage for Big Brother and Sister Jia, I have to be more careful in the matters of marriage? If Sis Hui'er's personality is the same as mine, I don't have anything to worry about, but that child has been spoiled by me all this while, so I'm afraid that she might be wronged."
The mother always had her heart for the sake of the children. She was afraid that the Grand Madam would use her daughter as a chess piece and casually print out the marriage so that she wouldn't offend the Huaiyin.
Grand Madam nodded his head slightly and said weakly: "Sis Hui'er is my granddaughter, I naturally also hope that she can marry me well. In my opinion, this marriage is already pretty good. I never thought that it would be such a coincidence. "
After saying that, she took a few breaths, then said: "We should still inform Sister Jia about this marriage, and ask her to help us make a decision." How could she not know that the First Madam did not believe her?
Only now did First Madam remember that she had written a letter and sent it to the First Princess Pingning Palace.
