Linglong

Chapter 104

There are only three sisters in the Yu family, and Uncle Yu and Second Master Yu have a very good brotherhood. It stands to reason that the three sisters should be very close.However, because the Qiao family and the Guan family are far apart, and the temperaments of the Qiao family and the Guan family are very different, sisters Jing Jia, Jing Xi and Ling Long unconsciously distanced themselves.After the turmoil in the draft, they were even more resentful, even unwilling to maintain the superficial peace.

Today, Jingxi has the intention of showing goodwill, which is obviously abnormal.

Linglong rolled her eyes and thought: "Jingxi must have something for me, what could it be? Forget it, I don't want to think about it, just wait and listen to her. She is not very patient, and she can't bear it for a long time. will tell."

Tang Xiaoming came over with the table, and Tang Xiaohong came one after the other with Linglong's usual chair.Behind them were two little girls, holding food boxes, teapots and other things.

Tang Xiaoming set the table, the girl put down the food box and made tea.

If there is no Jingxi, Linglong can sit down freely at this moment, drink tea and watch the scenery at the same time, contentedly.But if there is stillness, it will not work.

"Go get another chair for Second Miss." Linglong ordered.

Tang Xiaohong was very obedient, and hurried to move the chair again.

She moved a stone stool nearby and let Jingxi sit on it.

Jingxi saw Tang Xiaohong approaching with a round stone bench in his arms, and his face turned pale.

She knew that the two sisters of the Tang family were talented, but she was still a little frightened when she saw them show their kung fu.

"Does the third younger sister like to sit on the stone bench?" Jingxi forced a smile and said without words.

"No, the stone bench is for you. I'll sit on this. This is the chair I'm used to sitting on." Linglong spoke slowly, and sat down on her mahogany armchair.

Jingxi was a little unhappy.It stands to reason that she is the older sister and Linglong is the younger sister, so the younger sister should be courteous to the older sister; at this moment Linglong is considered the host and she is the guest, and the host should treat the guests well.Like Linglong, she chose a good chair and sat on it herself, leaving the stone bench to others, which seemed very disrespectful.

Normally, Jingxi, the second sister, would probably remind Linglong euphemistically, but today she came here with a request, after thinking about it, she decided to be patient for a while, the business is important, so there is no need for complications.

Jingxi sits down with a good temper and drinks tea with Linglong.

The color of the tea soup is orange-yellow and bright, the leaves are red and green, and the aroma is rich and refreshing.

This is the best Wuyi rock tea, drunk crabapple.

"I always feel that Wuyi tea has a scent of orchids, and the taste is very good." Jingxi praised politely.

"Clear water Danshan, steep peaks and deep valleys, high mountains and secluded springs, how can the taste of tea not be good." Linglong giggled, "This tea is very resistant to brewing, after five brews and six brews, the aroma is still strong. Second sister, drink slowly , take your time."

Of course, Jingxi didn't come to have tea with her, and she couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what she said.

"Third sister, Mrs. Song's birthday is coming up soon, what birthday gift are you giving?" Jingxi put down the teacup and asked in a casual manner.

"I won't give you anything." Linglong said without thinking, "The Yu family can just give a birthday gift. I'm still young, so I don't need to give a single gift."

—So you are planning to curry favor with that soft-eared Mrs. Song of the Song family?Yu Jingxi, although that lady has a high status, she has never had any ideas of her own, so if you please her, it will be of no use.

"I heard that Marquis Heqing's suppression of the rebellion went well, and he will return triumphantly soon." Jingxi smiled and looked at Linglong, and said patiently: "Sister, Marquis Heqing's mansion was famous before, and it will be improved to a higher level in the future. It’s on. Mrs. Tai is celebrating her birthday this year, and she has to make a big deal of it. Of course, relatives like ours can’t be left behind, don’t you think?”

After Jingxi said this, Linglong felt that the drunken crabapple in the cup had no fragrance, and her spirits faded.

She put down her cup, and said with a firm tone, "Unless the old man who is celebrating his birthday is very close to me, otherwise, I will not give birthday gifts alone."

Linglong's face was sullen, and there was no trace of a smile on her face. Although Jingxi reminded herself to be patient, patient, but her heart was sour, she blurted out: "That's right, of course you don't need it, you already... "She smiled ambiguously, stopped talking, and changed the topic with a lot of meaning, "A Heqinghou mansion, how can I pay attention to it."

After the words were spoken, Jingxi also felt a little regretful, but thinking about the various rewards that the queen gave Linglong, and thinking about the constant letters and gifts from Princess Yongning, she seemed to be very wooing to Linglong, and thought angrily: "I'm not wrong! Today's Linglong is just a Heqinghou's mansion, how can she still like her!"

Linglong looked at her hard and strangely several times, then said slowly: "Then, why are you still telling me these things?"

Well, I don't have the same knowledge as you, and I don't discuss with you whether I will take the Heqinghou Mansion seriously - you already think so, why are you here to discuss with me?
Are you living too leisurely and looking for anger?

Jing Xi only thought about the purpose of his visit now, and hurriedly said: "Sister San, you have a lot of rare treasures in your hand, and there must be quite a few that are suitable for birthday gifts. Why don't you choose one or two to make?" The birthday gift shows that you are sensible and general, and our Yu family is also honored, right?"

"But, what does this have to do with you?" Linglong inevitably had this question in her heart.

"Second sister is very concerned about the face of the Yu family." Linglong said unhurriedly.

An unnatural blush appeared on Jing Xi's face, and said: "Sisters of the whole family, let's not be too extravagant. Third sister, the treasure you picked out must be extraordinary, and then it will be a gift from our three sisters. How about it?" ?It shows how close our three sisters are, outsiders can only praise them when they see it, and all three of us have a bright face."

—So this is your purpose.It was only now that Linglong realized that Jingxi had such an idea.

Linglong couldn't help but despise Jingxi.In fact, there is nothing wrong with a person working hard and being aggressive. Even if he was born in a hermit's family like the Yu family, if Jing Xi just wanted to marry into a noble family, he wanted to be a wealthy lady, and he wanted to be with the prince's mansion. Ladies and gentlemen talk and laugh, that is also her personal ideal, it doesn't matter right or wrong.But if you want to climb high branches, you can rely on yourself, what's the matter if you only want to be in the light of others.

If Jing Xi came to ask Linglong about Mrs. Song Jiatai's preferences, "Whose calligraphy do you like? Whose painting do you like? What kind of embroidery do you like?" So, Linglong still thinks that she can accept it if she deliberately pleases her.Such blatant wanting to be honored, and also being righteous, as if someone owed her in a previous life, made people disgusted, but disgusted.

Linglong took a few glances at Jingxi, and thought maliciously: "Yes, I am indeed much richer than girls of the same age, my mother is loose, the queen and Yongning also gave a lot of gifts, and saved a lot of private houses. It is not difficult to produce a rare treasure to make you stand out from the crowd at the birthday banquet of the Heqinghou Mansion, but why should I fulfill you? Have you ever loved me and thought about me? Why do you want to get something for nothing? .”

"Sisters in the family, I won't talk to the second sister anymore. To be honest, I have a small storeroom. Although there are no good things in it, it's not difficult to pick out a birthday gift." Linglong said with a smile.

She looked very casual, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing, and she listened intently, her heart pounding.

Jingxi squeezed out an unnatural smile.

"However, I'm still young. I'm not in charge of how to use the things in this small warehouse." Linglong changed the subject, and told Jingxi with a smile, "I'm going back to ask my parents. My mother agrees, that's how it will be handled."

"Uncle and Aunt dote on you a lot." Jingxi couldn't help objecting, "It's just a plaything, don't tell me they're willing to reject it if you say it?"

"I obey my parents very much." Linglong put on a serious face, "Whatever my father and mother say is what I say, I never dare to make my own decisions!"

"Linglong, you—" Jing gasped.

It's as if you are so filial!I don't know you yet, you are arrogant, self-willed, reckless, big uncle, big aunt, big brother and second brother, they are all used to you!
Seeing that Jingxi was angry, Linglong smiled instead, "It's the right thing to listen to your parents, Second Sister, don't you think so?"

Jingxi's expression changed a few times, but finally she stood up and left angrily.

"Baa—" Linglong made a face at her back.

After Jingxi left, the aroma of drunken crabapple came back, and Linglong sipped the tea comfortably.

She spent more than half an hour among the flowers before standing up calmly, "Go back."

The little girl was responsible for tidying up the food boxes, teapots and cups on the table, and the Tang family sisters were carrying the table and chairs.

Uncle Zhong was still tending the flowers and trees in the sun, and Linglong went to say goodbye to him when he left, "Uncle Zhong, you have to take care of those sunflowers, don't let the birds eat them, and let me know when they are ripe!" She said After saying it twice, Uncle Zhong finally heard clearly. He bowed his waist and smiled, "Don't worry, miss, we will have fresh melon seeds to eat in a few days!"

Tang Xiaoming, Tang Xiaohong and the others saw Linglong thinking about food so much, they all had faint smiles on their faces.

When Linglong ordered the little girl to leave the snacks in the food box to Uncle Zhong, they felt even happier.Look, in order to let Uncle Zhong do his best to take care of Chaoyanghua, the third lady really spared no expense.

Linglong looked at the bright yellow sunflowers with satisfaction, smiled and walked away.

The maid followed her and left one after another.

Uncle Zhong sat resting on the side of the road, looked at the direction Linglong left, and took a piece of snack to his mouth.

The dim sum is soft and glutinous, with a fragrant and sweet taste, which is always sweet to people's hearts.

Linglong thought she was a good child who listened to her parents very well, so she really told Uncle Yu and Mrs. Qiao about it that day.

Mrs. Qiao didn't care much about her belongings, she smiled and shook her head, "What kind of birthday gift does every family give for a child, Xiaoxi, this child is also too thoughtful."

Uncle Yu thought for a while, and said gently: "Long'er, what your mother said is right, the Yu family can just send a birthday gift, and you and your eldest sister and second sister don't need to ask."

"Yes." Linglong nodded obediently.

What I want is your words.

"It's best to be like my Long'er, Xiaoxi, that child, I'm a little more worried." Looking at Linglong's flower-like smile, she felt comfortable in her heart, stretched out her hand to pat her snow-white face, and said with a smile.

Uncle Yu didn't speak, but frowned slightly.

Linglong's big eyes flashed suddenly, "I guess the second sister must have admired that Yan Xiaonv so much that she cared so much about the Heqinghou Mansion. Actually, I heard the story of Yan Xiaonv who wrote a letter to save her father. I have a lot of admiration for her."

In order to save her father, Yan Yunqing would rather go into the court by herself.If you don't enter Ye Ting, you will be a palace servant for the rest of your life, which is very tragic.It was not a day or two, it was a long life, unless she died, there was no end at all—of course she escaped by chance and saw the sun again, but when she asked to go in, she had no idea that such a day would come.

Uncle Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Linglong's words.

Song Yong's third son, Song Changlin, was the child left by this daughter of Yanxiao, who was later adopted by He Qinghou.This child will probably soon be the heir of Heqinghoufu.

Could it be that Xiao Xi her...?
Uncle Yu frowned even deeper.

"However, if any girl wants to marry Yan Xiaonv's son, she is really asking for trouble." Linglong is old-fashioned, and the child speaks adults' words, "Yan Xiaonv has burdened too much in her life, and being her son is not easy. No matter who met him, they would probably start with "what is your mother" and then end with "what do you want to do", and make many demands on him; In a word, every step of the way must be cautious, lest it tarnish the reputation of his biological mother, lest people say that he is not worthy of being the son of Yan Xiaonv. I have seen Song Changlin, who is only a teenager, and he is very heavy. Father, mother, he must have never been a child before, he looks like seventy or eighty when he was born..."

Uncle Yu and Mrs. Qiao smiled when she talked so eloquently.

"If you are her daughter-in-law, hehe, it will be even more uncomfortable." Linglong grimaced, "Song Changlin has a 'perfect' biological mother, it would be strange for him to compare his perfect biological mother with his wife." Yes! If anyone marries him, he really can't make a single mistake, and he will be trembling from morning to night."

"So...?" Uncle Yu asked modestly, not ashamedly.

Linglong's big eyes turned around flexibly, "So, what I mean is, Second Sister doesn't need to admire Yan Xiaonv so much, and doesn't need to be so concerned about the Heqinghou Mansion..."

"Ghost spirit." Uncle Yu couldn't help laughing.
