Linglong

Chapter 63

"That's it." Song Changchun thought about it for a while, and realized that what Linglong said was right, and felt a sense of loss.

"Don't worry about these trivial matters." Linglong advised kindly.

Song Changchun smiled.Is this a trivial matter?So in your opinion, what is the big deal?

"Second cousin is ashamed." Song Changchun modestly said, "Little cousin is open-minded, second cousin is ashamed."

Linglong shook her head triumphantly, smiling like a flower, "No, no. The so-called Zhong Tiandi's beautiful little girl is talking about me. Second cousin, you don't have to compare with me. Isn't it just asking for trouble?"

Song Changchun couldn't help laughing.

"What are the brothers and sisters talking about, so happy?" Qiao asked curiously.

Linglong said happily: "It's nothing serious, I'll enlighten my second cousin."

Mrs. Qiao couldn't help smiling, "Guide to the second cousin. Daughter, you are getting more and more naughty."

Song Changchun was serious, "Really, little cousin is really enlightening me."

Qiao Shi laughed more and more heartily.

"Thank you aunt and cousin for giving me these playthings." Linglong pointed to the large and small boxes on the table and thanked them with a smile.

"Madam Tai's boxes and cages haven't been clearly arranged yet. After packing up, there must still be some good things. Second Cousin will bring them to you." Song Changchun didn't have a real sister himself. Seeing a cute and cute girl like Linglong, he felt in his heart. What a warm, generous promise.

"Okay, the more the better." Linglong nodded.

The honest and blunt appearance made both Qiao Shi and Song Changchun laugh.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll come to send invitations." Song Changchun talked and laughed with Qiao Shi and Linglong for a while, and it was time to leave. Before leaving, he said.

The Marquis of Heqing just moved here, so there must be a banquet, and of course the Yu family must be invited.

"For a treat at my cousin's house, no matter how busy I am, I will take the time to come." Linglong said solemnly.

With a smile on his lips, Song Changchun left happily.

Sending Song Changchun away, Linglong took Qiao's hand to discuss, "Mother, I can't use up all these things by myself, so I'll share them with eldest sister, second sister, cousin Shengchun, and Jingshu and Wenyin, okay? "Qiao promised gently, "Very good. Daughter, you can distribute it now. After the distribution is completed, Mother will order someone to send them over one by one." Linglong smiled, "Of course, if the eldest sister and the second sister are the closest, cousin Shengchun wants It's exactly the same as the eldest sister and the second sister, isn't it right? Otherwise, the aunt will be unhappy. Jingshu, Wenyin, each send a few kinds of makeup." One by one, Jingjia, Jingxi, and Shengchun both have the capital The most famous rouge shop, Qinfang Pavilion, produces rouge, balm, toilet water, gouache, and each has two kinds of radiant jewelry. The girls in the family only have rouge and gouache.

"My daughter is so generous." Seeing that Linglong didn't frown, Mrs. Qiao sent out many wonderful things that little girls like, and smiled and praised Mimi.

"A heart as wide as three thousand acres of land." Linglong pointed her thumb proudly.

Qiao Shi laughed, and ordered people to send away the things Linglong had distributed one by one.

Jingxi, a talented woman, also likes beautiful jewelry. Linglong gave her a hairpin with crystal tassels and a pure gold walker. Jingxi held it in her hand and looked at it again and again, unable to put it down. Looks good." I showed it to Guan Shi, "Mother, isn't this step too dazzling? Will I look ostentatious when I wear it?" Guan smiled dotingly, "No. Xiaoxi, you are exactly Good age, these gold and jade things are suitable for you."

"Really?" Jingxi put on the step shaker and took a picture in front of the mirror, looking at the elegant and elegant girl in the mirror, showing a shy and satisfied smile.

She loves to be a talented woman, but also loves to be a beautiful woman.

Who wouldn't want to be a beauty?
"Mother will make new clothes for you. Xiaoxi, Mother will dress you up beautifully." Guan smiled.

The smile on Jing Xi's face dimmed, "Mother, how can I compare with the third sister, and how can I compare with those noble daughters?" She bit her lip stubbornly, straightened her waist, "Mother, I You must be more talented than them, more elegant and courteous than them! Mother, I will compare them all!"

"Okay, okay, Xiaoxi is really ambitious!" Guan Shi was moved, with tears in his eyes.

She has two daughters, Jingjia takes her time when things happen, and Jingxi, who has been so strong since she was a child, is her treasure.

"Mother, I'm going to make an appointment with my sister and thank my third sister." Jingxi took off the step shaker and put it away, and said with a smile.

She has always been careful in life, and she is also unwilling to save on superficial skills.

"Go." Guan looked at her distressedly.

Xiaoxi, if you also have rich uncles and aunts, wouldn't you be able to give gifts to Linglong generously, shouldn't Linglong thank you with a smiling face?Poor little Xi, not as lucky as Linglong.

"On the one hand, I want to thank the third sister, and on the other hand, I want to ask about the situation of the Marquis of Heqing. Mother, we don't even know the temperament of Madam Tai and Madam Hou." Jingxi said coquettishly.

Guan felt more and more that she was sensible and loving, and her eyes were gentle enough to pinch water, "Xiaoxi, good boy, you have a heart." Heqinghou's mansion just moved to Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi knew that she wanted to inquire about these things. It was really thoughtful. Delicate girl.

Jingxi smiled complacently, bid farewell to Mrs. Guan, and went to Jingjia's room.

Jing Jia was holding a book and reading silently, and Jing Xi smiled and pulled her, "Eldest sister, let's sit in the room of the third sister, okay?" Jing Jia was not very happy, "My sister, thank you when we meet. Isn't it over? There are all these troubles." Even so, seeing Jingxi waiting for her with a smiling face, after all, it was not easy to slap her sister's face, put down the book, and went out with Jingxi.

Seeing Linglong, Jingjia and Jingxi thanked politely, "I missed the third sister's good things." Linglong smiled, "Second cousin said that these are all fashionable in Beijing. Let the two sisters play with them. I'll see." It's really fresh." Jing Jia said: "I see it too, it's not quite the same as what we usually use." Jing Xi said softly: "It's nothing else, that box of powder is very delicate and fragrant. It's good, sweet, and pleasantly fragrant."

Linglong was talking with the two cousins, laughing at Yanyan.

Jingxi smiled, "This is the Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou of the Song family who brought them here from Beijing, right? Third sister, if you see Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou, you should thank them. Don't forget."

Linglong smiled and agreed, "Okay, I will never forget."

Jingxi's smile was even more gentle, like a good sister caring about her younger sister, "Third sister, Mrs. Tai has a noble status, do you know how to salute and how to deal with her when you see her?"

Linglong giggled and made quick calculations in her mind.Jing Xi clearly wanted to inquire about Mrs. Song Jiatai's preferences and temper. It seemed that Jing Xi was always a positive and progressive girl who wanted to make a career in the world, and would never let go of any chance to meet noble people and fly to the branches.Based on the relationship between the Yu family and the Song family, Jingxi will go to Heqinghou's mansion sooner or later. In this case, it is better to let her know some things earlier, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

The men of the Yu family pretend to be hermits and have indifferent temperaments, while the old lady, Guan Shi, Jing Jia and Jing Xi are women living in the mundane world, and their prosperity and wealth are very attractive to them.It can't be said that they are wrong, but there is always obvious disharmony, which makes people sigh.

"Eldest sister, second sister, let's go talk to grandma, shall we?" Linglong said with a smile.

Jingjia had nothing to say, "Very good." Jingxi didn't understand what Linglong meant, but seeing Linglong's calm expression, she nodded with a smile, "Very good, I was going to accompany my grandmother."

Linglong smiled and stood up, "Eldest sister, second sister, please."

The three sisters went to Mrs. Yu's room.

It happened that Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Guan were also there, and all the female family members of the Yu family were present.

Mrs. Yu was very happy to see her three flower-like granddaughters.

Linglong smiled, "Second sister just asked me something, and I was a little out of ideas, so I wanted to come over and ask my grandmother, mother, and aunt."

Seeing Linglong's modesty, Old Madam Yu showed a satisfied smile.

Qiao Shi was surprised, "Daughter, what are you talking about?"

Guan's gaze was also very concerned.

Linglong smiled and glanced at Jingxi, "Second sister cares about me, of course I know. But, I'm so young, what do I know? I really can't answer."

Old Madam Yu asked, "Your second sister asked you something, and she stopped you?"

Jingxi thought for a while, then smiled and said again what she had just said: "...Grandmother, aunt, mother, I am an older sister, so I can't help worrying about my younger sister. Mrs. Song's wife is old and highly respected. I'm really afraid The third younger sister is young and doesn't know the importance, so she said something wrong in front of her old man."

Old Madam Yu sighed, "Xiao Xi is very good at thinking of my sister."

Guan looked at Jingxi with admiring eyes, feeling extremely pleased.

Linglong looked courteous, "Grandmother, do you still remember that there was a woman named Yan in the Song family? She was very famous."

The old lady Yu smiled, "Why don't you remember? That is a strange woman, very few people don't know her."

When Jing Jia and Jing Xi heard about "a woman surnamed Yan", they both looked curious.

Linglong said with discretion: "Unfortunately, this woman surnamed Yan passed away early, leaving behind a son who is the third young master of Heqinghou's mansion, named Song Changlin. Mrs. Song Jiatai has two sons, the eldest son Heqinghou, the second The son is my uncle; my uncle has elder cousins, second cousins, and Song Changlin; as for Marquis Heqing, it is a pity that he is over forty years old and has no sons under his knees."

After Linglong said these words, the room was silent for a while.

After a long while, Jingxi pretended to be calm and asked: "If the Marquis of Heqing wants to adopt, it seems that he should adopt his son? After all, he is the one who wants to inherit the title."

Her voice trembled.

However, it is not obvious. If you don't pay special attention, you can't hear it.

Linglong smiled, "Because Song Changlin has a famous biological mother, no one looks down on his status as a concubine. Not only no one looks down on him, but there are many people who appreciate him. Du Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites praised him for being gentle, dignified, humble , has the style of an ancient gentleman."

Du Yi and Song Changlin, the younger grandsons of Du Laoshangshu, were both studying in the Imperial College. Song Changlin and Du Yi were classmates, and had similar temperaments, so they naturally had a close relationship.Old Shangshu Du met Song Changlin a few times, and he praised the young man very much, "As long as there are benefits, he will pass them on to others, a gentleman, a gentleman."

Du Laoshangshu is a senior member of the court, a senior elder, and he doesn't praise people easily.Even he praised Song Changlin, which shows that Song Changlin is indeed of outstanding character.

"That is to say..." Jingxi's voice trembled even more, and she stopped after only four words.

"That is to say, my aunt has two biological sons, namely my first cousin and second cousin. Besides my first cousin and second cousin, there is also a third young master in Heqinghou's residence." Linglong smiled and said, "This The third young master has been raised by Mrs. Tai since childhood, and is very much loved by He Qinghou and his wife."

Linglong felt that she had made it very clear: Marquis He Qing was over 40 years old and had no sons. His younger brother Song Yong had two concubines and one concubine, but the status of that concubine was different from ordinary concubines. It is also appreciated by He Qinghou and his wife.

"What kind of attitude and stand should you take when you come to the Song family now? I don't need to say more about what you need to pay attention to in words and deeds? You don't have to have unrealistic fantasies about the Song family, do you?" Linglong I thought for granted.
