Even though everyone said that everyone in the Huaiyin Palace was extremely close, but being close with others and having no rules was different. This Lu Suixiu was just like a concubine who gave birth to a young lady, ordinary people, at such an important occasion like today, would never allow a young lady to appear.
Furthermore, the main hall was where the s stayed. Even if the wife brought the girls over, they had to first go to the main hall to congratulate the Grand Madam s, before going to the parlour. How could Lu Suixiu stay here?
Sister-in-law told me a few days ago that she's been waiting for eldest wife to like peaches, and that she even asked mother to buy a small basket of peaches from Fujian a few days ago. Sister-in-law is usually so greedy, yet she doesn't want to eat it, and instead says that she'll be too late for eldest wife.
"At that time, big brother was just teasing him, saying that Eldest Wife is in the National Duke Ning Palace, what good thing couldn't he eat, just these few peaches? But sister-in-law still said with a straight face that the peaches in National Duke Ning's palace are different from the peaches she left for Eldest Wife! "
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh. "However, sister-in-law is indeed a very good person. Even though she is reluctant to eat these peaches, she even sent two people to give them to me."
Even Lin Shu could not hold back her laughter, "She, he was like a glutton since young. Originally, First Aunt said that she was born in a poor family, that's why she was so greedy in this life …"
It was just that once in the early summer, she had gotten a large amount of baskets of grapes and a few peaches from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Lin Hui was afraid of trouble and only focused on eating the grapes when she was almost done eating the majority of the baskets. It was only then that she remembered to ask her if she wanted to eat a few grapes.
At that time, she saw that Lin Hui liked eating peaches, but she didn't think that she would casually say those words, so Lin Hui remembered about it.
Lu Suixiu also laughed, his smile was tranquil and calm, but looking at him, it was extremely comfortable.
To be honest, her appearance couldn't be considered to be exceptional, but she had an indifferent aura about her that made people believe that she had woken up for some reason.
Lin Shu could not help but suspect that she had woken up.
Waiting for Lin Shu to go to the Flower Hall, and sure enough, she saw Lin Hui eating almonds with a small plate, her mouth was full of food, and upon seeing her, she immediately said: "Sister Shu, you are finally here, do you want to eat almonds? This is a salt and pepper dish, fresh out of the capital! "
Little did they know that when these salt and pepper almonds first appeared, the National Duke Ning Palace had already bought a lot.
Lin Shu waved her hand and smiled: "The weather has been getting a bit hot recently, I'm afraid of getting burned, so I won't eat anymore. You can eat more!"
Lin Hui nodded his head, "Then I'll eat it, do not regret it later!" She was the same as when she was young, she couldn't care less about food.
Lu Suixiu also laughed by the side and said softly: "Sister-in-law, you stay here and chat with Eldest Wife. I'll go out first to entertain the guests."
Lin Shu was originally a close relative, and she had come here very early. Now, other than the two of them, there was no one else in the hall.
Lin Hui naturally held her hand and talked nonstop. You don't know how my mother-in-law is going to have her birthday, but I am so busy that I can't wait to get back to work. Luckily I have Sister Xiu'er to help me, otherwise I would not know what to do! "
Saying that, she continued in a loud voice, "Especially when I think of how I should deal with those old ladies of the Grand Madam, my head starts to hurt. You know that I am always afraid of old ladies with a straight face. Furthermore, if they were to ask me a question, I wouldn't even know how to answer them. If I say something wrong, I might end up being a laughingstock. "
After he had married into the National Duke Ning Palace, he had only thought of how he could be on guard against the Young Madam Zhang at all times, and even be on guard against Lu Suixiu at all costs. "Third Sister, when will you grow up? Originally, when you were at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, with the First Aunt to protect you, now that you have married someone and have the Grand Madam of the Huaiyin Palace protecting you, I'm afraid you won't grow up for the rest of your life … "
In fact, she felt that it was pretty good for Lin Hui to be like this her entire life. At least it meant that there was someone protecting him.
Lin Hui stuffed another handful of almonds before saying, "Is it not good for me to do this?"
Saying that, she could not help but mutter, "What's more, don't tell me that you have no one to spoil you with? What, I'm afraid that it's your family's old man who accompanied you here today! "Well then, since it's like this, I don't dare to say anything. If it's too much, and you start crying again, I'm afraid my brother-in-law is looking for me to deal with him!"
"Alright, you're making fun of me again!" As Lin Shu said this, she was about to tickle Lin Hui, when suddenly, the two of them burst out laughing.
In the end, Lin Shu still decided to stop first. I don't care, but if your hair is messed up later on, I'm afraid those old Grand Madam ladies will have to pick on you again. "
After Lin Hui heard this, she immediately became serious, but she did not forget to eat a few more almonds. In just a short time, the small plate in front of her had already become empty.
Spikes shook his head and went back down to his almonds.
Lin Hui seemed to have thought of something important, "Oh yes, a few days ago I sent someone to the Duke Andong's Mansion, I wonder if the Second Sister will come today." This Lin Qian had not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, she did not even go back when Lin Shu was returning.
Saying that, Lin Hui sighed, "I never thought that Aunt Er and Second Sister would become like this. However, I heard that Duke Andong’s wife has already suppressed the matter regarding Aunt Wang, saying that they have lost a hundred silver taels, so the Wang family will not cause any more trouble. "
I'm afraid that even if she saw Jiang Family and second uncle, she would no longer be able to help second sister's husband. Thinking that Second Sister no longer had any value in being of use, that's why she was able to suppress this matter, in my opinion, she did not have any good intentions at all, even if Second Sister's reputation is not good, could it be that Second Sister is not a Mrs. Shizi of his manor?
His words were filled with contempt, as if he had already forgotten that she and Lin Qian had once had a bad time.
However, Lin Shu was not really worried, "Don't worry about Second Sister, even if she does not have the ability to contend with Duke Andong’s wife, but with her ability, it should not be difficult to protect herself, if Duke Andong’s wife still wants to pinch her, I am afraid that if Second Sister gets into trouble, no one will be able to do well …"
They had just spoken a few words when the voice of the Maid came from outside, "Madam, the Duke Andong Palace's Mrs. Shizi is here!"
Lin Shu and Lin Hui stood up at the same time, raising their heads to look, who else could this person be other than Lin Qian?
But how could the current Lin Qian still have that shadow of the past? The Lin Qian from before was already thin and weak, with the look of a willow blowing into the wind, but now she was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, as if she was about to fall if the wind blew past her. Her cheekbones were stuck out high, looking listless, as though she was sick.
Lin Hui smiled, "Second Sister, you finally came. I thought you wouldn't come."
Lin Qian laughed, but her smile was forced, "You sent me a message, why am I not coming over?"
Now that she had experienced such a setback, she had regained her spirit and even began to plan for herself.
Grand Madam was already dead, and their mother was making a ruckus like fire and water. This Jiang Family treated the mother and daughter as hot potato, and even if she went to Jiang Family, the people there would not even have any face for her. What else could she rely on? If he didn't get along well with these sisters and sisters, he would have lost his support.
She had originally thought that she was the best married off amongst all her sisters, but now it seemed that she was the worst married off … No, that's not right. There was still Lin Lian.
When she thought of Lin Lian, she felt a little better. "Eh?" When I came over, I just saw Big Sis coming over. Why didn't I see Lian Jieer? "
With Lin Lianlian around, she was not the most pitiful person around.
Lin Hui said softly: "I don't know either, I also sent a thread over a few days ago, I don't know why Lian Jieer did not come over."
"Heh, if I was her, I wouldn't even have the face to come out. I've been married into the Duke Chengan for so long, and I don't have the slightest intention to bring the Lian Jieer out, I'm afraid that she wants to go back on her words!" Lin Qian's face was filled with ridicule, she obviously liked this topic, and now she said even more: "Oh right, Sis Hui'er, which one is your new sister-in-law? Come to think of it, my first cousin is also a cousin of the County Prince Palace, so logically speaking, you should have met the Mrs. Shizi of the Duke Chengan Palace before, isn't it very powerful? " If he was a virtuous and virtuous person, he would have brought Lin Lian to the Duke Chengan Palace long ago.
What do you know now, you actually said it all out loud, "It seems like she is a virtuous and virtuous person, but my sister said that the ladies of the Chen family are not simple, and said that Lian Jieer will not be able to handle any hardships in the future."
Then she thought for a while and continued, "My sister also said that since this Lian Jieer is already a member of the County Prince Palace, then regardless of what happens or what happens, she will marry into the Duke Chengan Palace. It's just a matter of time … I'm afraid that the Mrs. Shizi s of the Duke Chengan Palace are setting up rules for the Lian Jieer now. "
She only felt that Lin Lian was miserable. It was one thing to be a concubine, but before she even entered the door, the Chen family's Second Miss was going to teach her a lesson!
Immediately, the smile on Lin Qian's face became even more obvious, "Who said I wasn't? Tsk tsk, what a pity … By the way, when I was coming over from the main hall, I heard an interesting piece of news.
