Second spring

Hearing such a sentence, as if touching something, Mrs. Lin's heart suddenly became alert.Facing the pot of ten-foot bead curtains, she showed a trace of just-right surprise on her face, and her gaze passed over Mrs. Qin's face indistinctly, as if she had considered it for a moment, then she smiled gently and said, "There is this pot of flowers." , that’s because we’re in your favor.”

Marquis Wuxing's Mansion is a family of generals, so they were not keen on the banquets and banquets in the capital.Since then, Princess Hongyue married into the Marquis of Wuxing, and one year after the first emperor ascended the throne, in order to celebrate Princess Hongyue's promotion, and to show the importance of the royal family behind Princess Hongyue, and to To show the royal family's favor to the Yang family, and because Princess Hongyue is very fond of tasting chrysanthemums, Wuxing Hou Mansion held a grand chrysanthemum appreciation feast.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet not only had the efforts of the Marquis of Wuxing, but also had the support of the royal family behind it. It actually brought together hundreds of treasures on the famous chrysanthemum list!That colorful event caused a sensation in the entire Daxian!

After that, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the Marquis of Wuxing continued year after year. Although it was not as sensational as it was at the beginning, there were at least a dozen or even dozens of famous chrysanthemums on display every year.But Princess Hongyue only loves chrysanthemums, so some people tried their best to find treasures and send them to the Hou's mansion to win her favor.Back then, when Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Qin were young, there was a lady from an official family who was not very high-born, because she gave a pot of precious "Green Cloud" and showed various opinions on chrysanthemums in her conversation, she won the title of "Eldest Princess" The favorite, and finally married into the royal family.Well, speaking of it, it is none other than the current concubine Zhou of Rongjun Palace...

With such an opportunity this year, if there is such a pot of flowers as a gift to Princess Hongyue... It's hard for this Tang family to be willing to let such an opportunity go to others!

But... Mrs. Lin figured it out in a blink of an eye—this Tang family's widow is not suitable for social occasions, and the Qin family has no other elders who can come forward; as for Qin Mingyuan, he has no way to know Wuxinghou's mansion Junior, if you show up rashly, I'm afraid it won't be much good if you offer flowers...

But if it is through my own hands, through the Lin family's channels... Of course, the Lin family will not confuse this potted flower and say it is their own. They will also tell the owner of this potted flower, that is, the Qin family's heart, and they will also be in Wuxinghou. Leave an impression on the hearts of the government and the eldest princess!Moreover, because she didn't show up after stepping back, maybe this impression will be even deeper!Furthermore, Qin Mingyuan wanted to follow Lin Shiqing.If such a potted flower is sent out through the Lin family, the Lin family will benefit greatly!And the Lin family got the benefits, so how could they not think of the Qin family's good, and how could they not treat Qin Mingyuan better?

This Qin Tang family really has a good plan.

It's a pity that my husband and I didn't intend to pick up the opportunity to make friends and cling to the Marquis of Wuxing...

Madam Qin certainly didn't know what Madam Lin was thinking.Seeing a trace of joy on Madam Lin's face, she couldn't help but feel a lot of brilliance on her face. She shook her head and said, "Sister, what did you say? People like me are not suitable to come forward. It's my sister who helped you." I'm busy..."

The two chatted some gossip again, and it was almost noon.

The flowers were taken care of by Mrs. Qin, and there was no one in the Lin family who could take over the flowers. In addition, it would take a few days before returning to Beijing, so she didn't take away the ten-foot bead curtain.

"This year's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is scheduled for the 26th. In this case, our original schedule of returning to Beijing on the 25th will be more urgent. Well..." Mrs. Lin pondered for a while before deciding: "In this way, we Let’s leave in three days. Does my sister want to come with us?”

Of course, Mrs. Qin wanted to go with her, so she nodded.

The date of returning to Beijing has been rescheduled. The Lin family is not like the Qin family. There are only five masters and servants together. The Lin family returned to Beijing with the whole family from Guangzhou. Lin Shiqing and the Lin family deliver the letter, and then the accompanying servants will start to move...

Mrs. Lin didn't delay any longer, and quickly took her leave and left.

After she left, Mrs. Qin found a chair and sat down, looking out of the window at the big bare tree.It was a persimmon tree, but it hadn't survived the previous cold and had lost its vitality...

Nanny Qin came in, stood behind her with her head bowed, and walked lightly without making a sound.

"Yuan'er didn't go to Meilin to study today?" Mrs. Qin asked.There was an indescribable coldness in the voice.

Qin Nanny seemed to be used to it, nodded and replied: "The old slave asked Qin Qi, and said that the master hasn't been to Meilin in the past few days, but went to the back mountain."

The back mountain... The back mountain of Xiaokangzhuang is already outside the courtyard, and it is quite far away from their courtyard.If it were spring, I'm afraid there would still be some spectacular scenery, but now, the barren hills are bare and muddy... The Lin family, especially Xiaoliu of the Lin family who has just recovered from a serious illness, would never go to the back mountain at this time!

Mrs. Qin's smooth forehead twitched a few times, and said displeasedly: "Why did you go to the back mountain?"

Nanny Qin glanced at her master, then bowed her head and said, "What I mean is that there is a difference between the inside and the outside. The young ladies of the Lin family live close together. It would be bad if they collide..."

"He is polite." Madam Qin said.

For some reason, Qin Nanny heard a little irony from this indifference.She shook her head secretly, put aside such delusions, and quietly waited for her master's order.Before, the master clearly explained to the little master that he was asked to "read in the morning near his residence, especially in the plum grove", but now the little master has not done that. According to the past, the master must "emphasize" it again ...

But Mrs. Qin didn't mention Qin Mingyuan again.

She said lightly: "Go and pick up the food. Well, by the way, the Lin family decided to return to Beijing in three days, and we will follow."

Nanny Qin was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly said "yes" and walked out quickly.

Lin Yijia had never seen such a pot of chrysanthemums in her previous life.

Therefore, when she saw such a potted flower appearing in the carriage, she was really surprised.As soon as she stepped into the carriage, she jumped onto the edge of the pot of flowers and yelled softly, "Mother, why are there still flowers now! Where did you find them!"

Lin Huijia also whispered emotionally: "This... is still a ten-foot bead curtain! It's so rare!"

Lin Minjia also stared brightly and praised.

Immediately, Lin Shiqing, who came to greet them in time, also followed, and asked, "What's so rare?" After asking, he saw the pot of chrysanthemums, turned his eyes to Mrs. Lin, and asked, "Where did you get it?"

At this time, the first flower that had just bloomed had already bloomed to eight percent, and the pale pink petals at the outermost edge had completely hung down, slender and long, very beautiful, and the tips of the petals were curled up again like pearls for a pendant, It also added a bit of elegant demeanor.There are layers of light yellow-green in the middle, which against the backdrop of the hatchback is very moving.

"Mrs. Qin's." Mrs. Lin said slowly: "She knows that we will definitely send a gift of thanks to the Marquis of Wuxing after we return to Beijing, so she also wants to express her heart. The master is in the capital, so he must know that this year Marquis of Wuxing The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet in the mansion has not been cancelled, but there are still plans to hold it?"

She cast her eyes on the pot of chrysanthemums, and while admiring them, she said slowly: "Then the Lin family must have a post? At that time, Huier and I will be there anyway? Think about it, if Huier or Min When I show up at the banquet with such a pot of flowers, the scene will definitely be quite a sensation, right? If so, the reputation of our Lin family girl in the capital will go out all of a sudden?"
