The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 33

A swipe!
Qingtao landed next to Xuemei in response, if it wasn't for the slightly raised corner of her blue clothes that had just landed, people might think that Qingtao had been standing here the whole time.

"Ah!" Xuemei leaned towards her as if she had seen a ghost, "Where did you come from?" She said while staring at Qingtao with a surprised face.

However, Qingtao didn't pay attention to her, and just saluted Lin Jiaojiao: "Princess."

"Ah."

Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly, she didn't mean to be wary of Qingtao, she just listened to it, and Yan Sihan must have understood her meaning after hearing what she did.

Without stopping any longer, she took people to Aunt Wu's Lanting Courtyard. Now that her second elder brother is still in Lushan Academy, Aunt Wu's life must be difficult.

Shen's favorite tactic is to embezzle the money of the courtyards, and now it is cold in winter, if there is no charcoal fire in the house, it will be a sad day.

As he walked, he bumped into the third and fifth sisters approaching by the dried-up lotus pond.

When the two saw her, their faces that were still smiling suddenly subsided, and changed into expressions of fear: "Second sister..."

The faces of the two who were saluting paused, and they quickly changed their words: "My daughter, please greet the princess."

Is this afraid of her?

Reaching out to help the two of them up, he asked warmly, "It's cold outside now, why did you come out?"

Lin Qingyue lowered her eyebrows slightly, and replied cautiously: "If you want to return to the princess, Auntie asked us to fetch charcoal fire."

While speaking, he carefully protected Lin Qingxue behind her.

Lin Jiaojiao pretended she hadn't noticed, and said with a stern face: "Why aren't you called Second Sister? Could it be that I'm married and don't recognize me as Second Sister?"

"No." Lin Qingyue shook her head quickly, with a look of uneasiness on her face, and then explained to her: "Second sister is now a concubine, and fifth sister and I respect second sister."

Lin Qingxue, who was hiding half of her body, also nodded, her eyes timid.

Alas, there is really no way, maybe she didn't pay much attention to these two younger sisters at home before, or maybe it was because of her behavior in Shoukang Hall just now.

That's why these two girls are afraid of her.

"Girl Yue, are you thirteen this year?" She asked with a smile, trying to find a topic to change the two girls' attitude towards her.

Lin Qingyue nodded in response, but at the same time she was a little strange. She celebrated her birthday the day before her second sister got married, and at that time Miss Xuemei also sent a gold hairpin.

She also asked her aunt to keep it, not daring to wear it out to show off.

Lin Jiaojiao nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Look, she's a big girl."

At this time, Lin Qingxue stared at her big eyes, poked her head and said to her, "Second Sister, Xue'er will be ten years old tomorrow."

"Really?" She responded with a smile, it seems that she remembered wrongly, and thought this girl was already ten years old.

So he took off a white magnolia hairpin on his head, handed it to Lin Qingxue, and said: "Second sister has few things to bring when going out today, so put them away first, and take it as a kindness from second sister."

This white jade hairpin is a high-quality mutton fat white jade, and just one is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

Lin Qingxue didn't know, but Lin Qingyue had seen some of the world, and she immediately sighed for the generosity of the two elder sisters, and never stingy rewards for their sisters.

Although she liked it, she didn't dare to go beyond the rules. After Lin Qingxue accepted it dumbfoundedly, she hurriedly signaled her to thank her second sister.

"Okay, Second Sister will not delay you to get the charcoal fire."

The materials these two girls wore were not good either. The only good thing was that they had cotton to keep them warm.

As a young lady of the Lin family, she didn't even have a maid by her side, so she never thought that Mrs. Shen would be so mean.

Now that Lin Family Shen is in control, presumably these two girls will not be able to get the charcoal fire if they go, so they said to Xuemei: "Send the third and fifth misses to get the charcoal fire, and take good care of Cui Mama."

If she doesn't do something, I'm afraid that when she leaves Lin's mansion, Cui's mother will go to Chen's to file a complaint.

Xuemei was taken aback when she heard this, but after thinking about it, it wasn't such a tiring job, she can still feel proud in front of Cui's mother.

Fu body said: "Yes, empress."

Then, Lin Jiaojiao told the two younger sisters: "Big brother is always in the mansion, you two often walk around when you have nothing to do, let big brother teach you how to learn calligraphy."

Although the Lin family is a scholarly family, because of the Shen family, these concubines have not yet attended school.

Only the aunts teach the rules and so on.

Lin Qingyue's face turned happy when she heard that, and she seemed to have opened up the conversation: "Last month, my elder brother asked us to go to the Shi'an Yuan to practice calligraphy. Whenever my elder brother is free, he will ask Mama Liu to ask us to go. "

"Every time the fourth sister refuses to go by herself, she still blames us afterwards." Lin Qingxue muttered coquettishly, her appearance was quite cute.
