Hou Mansion has a daughter to marry

Chapter 114 each with their own minds

Counting nine cold winters, it was already freezing cold, and because it was on the mountain, it was inevitably colder. Even though the charcoal fire was burning well, it was not as warm as the mansion after all, which made the three ladies with different thoughts even more upset. Among them, Lin's is the most.

"Zhihua, make the charcoal fire more intense." After the Zhongqin Wangfei ordered, the corner of her eyes swept across the faces of the flustered Lin family and the yin and yang princess Yanjun, and then she turned her mind and smiled at Yanjun Wangfei Said: "Sister, what's on your mind today, why are you so unhappy?"

Princess Yan's finger armor casually tapped on the table, looked up at Princess Zhong, her gaze was deep and unpredictable, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a smile that didn't reach her eyes, her red lips parted slightly, "Tell my sister to laugh It's just a trivial matter in the mansion, don't bother me." After speaking, I turned my head to look at the silent Lin, and said in a clear tone, "Mrs. Xie, Rong'anhou's mansion is not what it used to be, so I should be happy. Why? Is Mrs. Xie so...uneasy?"

Mrs. Lin was taken aback for a moment, twisted the handkerchief in one hand, and tightened her grip on the armrest with her five fingers. She raised her eyes to look at Princess Yanjun, and immediately opened her eyes in a panic, smiling happily, "Princess Lao is worried, but there are many chores in the mansion these days. , I'm really bothered, it's just like this today... It's good to have a rest in a few days."

"Oh?" Princess Yan's eyes fluttered, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, "In that case, Mrs. Xie should take a good rest. Seeing that August [-]th is only a few months away, when the double happiness comes, I want to thank you Madame is more troublesome." After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Lin with a half-smile.

Sitting quietly watching the two people coming and going, the loyal princess saw that Lin's hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly, and she had some calculations in her heart, so she hurriedly said, "Don't say Mrs. Xie, even my younger sister and elder sister, I have no time to be idle. Especially my sister, Yan Shizi is both talented and beautiful, Miss Xie looks like a fairy, gentle and virtuous, and is the most talented woman in the capital, such a pair of people made in heaven, can be said to be the joy of joy!" After a pause, Inexplicable pity welled up in her heart, and Princess Zhongqin looked at Lin with guilt, "I have wronged Chang'an...Thanks to Chang'an's kindness, he has given Yu'er all of his heart, Madam Xie, don't worry, when Chang'an passes the door, She is my own daughter, and I will never let Chang An be wronged."

Lin was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your righteousness, Princess An, but An'er and Prince An are in love, and now they are married, it is destiny, and there is no grievance. My wife is here to thank An'er The princess loves you."

Lin's words, inexplicably called Zhongqin Wangfei, felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show it on her face. When she was about to say something, she only heard Yanjun Wangfei say inexplicably: "Ms. She is the number one talented woman in the capital, so my Lan'er is the one who climbs the ladder."

"Boom—" The teacup in Lin's hand was knocked down, and Ming Ying hurriedly stepped forward, "Ma'am, is there something wrong with your hand?"

"It's nothing." Lin looked down at the broken teacup as if in a daze, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Clean it up." After saying that, she stood up and said goodbye to Princess Zhongqin and Princess Yanjun. "Princess, my wife is not feeling well, so I will go back to the mansion today, please forgive me."

Concubine Zhongqin hurriedly waved her hands, and said with concern: "Mrs. Xie's words are offended. They are all from my own family. Why don't you forgive me? Since she was not feeling well, she went back to the mansion earlier and asked the doctor to take a good look. There is still work ahead!"

Princess Yanjun smiled, "That's not true, I have to rest well, and I have to rely on Madam Xie to take care of it later."

At this time, the Lin family was not in a panic, and blessed the Princess of Yan County and the Princess of Zhongqin without being humble, and said with a low eyebrow: "Thank you two sisters for your concern, my sister will be back soon, and the two sisters will chat slowly."

After Mrs. Lin left, the loyal princess smiled and looked at the direction where Mrs. Lin left, and suddenly said, "Shizi Yan married Miss Xie, who is both talented and beautiful, why is my sister like this... Displeased?"

Princess Yanjun sneered, "The number one talented woman in the capital with both talent and appearance, gentle and virtuous, is really a well-known name, but my Lan'er is the one who climbs the ladder." After a slight pause, she looked up at Princess Zhongqin with sharp eyes, "Sister , I don't know if you really don't know, or if you don't know, but... as long as the last moment is not reached, how do you know who will win?"

Concubine Zhongqin trembled in her heart, but still smiled gently on her face, and said angrily: "Where did my sister go, why did a deer appear out of thin air, where did the deer come from? Maybe it's because my sister is old, what my sister said But I couldn't understand a single sentence. Besides, Miss Xie's family is the most talented woman in the capital, and her name is famous, but Shizi Yan is also a man who is unparalleled in the capital, so why can't she be so high, my sister shouldn't think too much about it."

"Heh." Princess Yan's eyes fluttered, and she looked directly at Princess Zhongqin with burning eyes, without any shyness, "I can do whatever my sister says, after August [-]th, my sister will still be as calm as now." The corner of the mouth is slightly hooked, if there is a hint of sarcasm.

Princess Zhongqin paused, put down the teacup gently, and said with a smile: "After completing Yu'er's lifelong event, my sister will naturally not be as calm as she is now, and she should be a lot of joy. But my sister's words made my sister flustered. , so, my sister has to say that the marriage between Yu'er and Miss Xie Er was appointed by the queen mother and the emperor approved, if someone tries to obstruct it, I'm afraid..." The smile did not change, but it was thorny.

The princess of Yanjun was naturally fiery, and when she heard that the loyal princess was using the empress dowager and the emperor to suppress her, she immediately became angry in her heart, tried to calm down, but still couldn't suppress her anger, snorted coldly, and gritted her teeth: "So, sister I would like to congratulate my sister in advance on her happy daughter-in-law!"

Concubine Zhong's smile did not change, and she said gently: "Thank you for that, my sister. I have been out of the mansion for a while today, my sister is worried and Yu'er will go back first, and my sister should not be too late."

"Hmph, I'll let you be proud for a while longer." Princess Yan stared fiercely at the distant figure of Princess Zhong, thoughtful in her heart, and whispered to herself, "This Mrs. Xie...you need to beat and beat more. "

Lin Shi, who was the first to leave the temple, walked halfway when the carriage stopped abruptly, and then the coachman yelled, "Who are you and why did you stop the carriage?" Ying immediately got out of the car to check.

Not long after, Ming Ying turned back to the carriage and reported, "Madam, there is a ragged woman stopping the carriage. She claims her surname is Su, and she is a cousin of Yanjun Prince's Mansion. She said that she has something to say to Madam herself, and she also said that she can help Madam..."

Lin's eyes suddenly dimmed, "Oh? What evidence do you have?"

Mingying shook her head and said: "The woman insisted that if Madam met her, she would definitely not regret it."

After being silent for a long while, Mrs. Lin said: "Then take her into the carriage behind. When you return to the mansion, you should ask someone to inquire about it. If it is really Miss Biao of Yanjun Prince's Mansion, I will see her again soon." Mingying Take orders to retreat.

The carriage continued to move forward steadily, Lin was leaning on the corner of the carriage, squinting his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to gently rub his temples. Distraught, a little tiredness appeared between his brows and eyes.

As soon as they arrived at the Marquis of Rong'an, Mrs. Lin got out of the carriage and walked quickly to Xie Changning's courtyard.At this time, Xie Changning was having lunch, seeing Mrs. Lin who came in a hurry, he hurriedly got up to help him, and ordered Mrs. Su to add another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Xie Changning helped Lin to sit down, and handed over a glass of water thoughtfully, "Mother, why are you so anxious?"

Lin took the cup and held it in his hand, raised his head to look at Xie Changning, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Ning'er, have you ever heard that there is a young lady surnamed Su in the Palace of Prince Yan?"

Xie Changning nodded slightly, "There is indeed a young lady in Yanjun Prince's Mansion, and Ning'er has met...Mother, why did you suddenly ask? But what happened?"

Hearing this, Lin was thoughtful, and asked tentatively for a while: "Ning'er, if I let you see that Miss Biao again, would you still recognize her?"

"Naturally."

Mrs. Lin nodded, didn't say any more, glanced at the meals on the table, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about these things, let's eat quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold, today's lotus seed tremella porridge looks soft and glutinous, Wouldn't it be a pity not to try it?"

Xie Changning glanced hesitantly at the calm Lin. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. He lost his mind for a while, and suddenly heard Lin's call before he said slowly: "Mother, are you calling Ning'er?"

"Ning'er, what's the matter with you, your mother called you just now, but you didn't pay any attention." Mrs. Lin gave a reproachful smile, and lovingly handed the lotus seed and white fungus porridge, "Hurry up and eat, don't think about it anymore, today my mother just asked casually." Ning'er, don't worry, come on, this porridge with white fungus and lotus seeds is very good, Ning'er, you should try it too."

"Thank you mother, mother, you can eat too, don't worry about Ning'er."

After lunch, Mrs. Lin got up and went back to the house after talking with Xie Changning sensibly, and saw that Mingying was already waiting for her.Immediately, the confidant kept watch outside the house, screened off the rest of the people, brought Ming Ying into the house, closed the door with Ming Ying, and asked: "Ming Ying, how are you?"

"Mrs. Hui, my servant found out that there was a cousin named Su who was a guest at Yan County Prince's Mansion a few days ago, and now she is said to have been sent home. It is said that when that Cousin was at Yan County King's Mansion, she seemed to have some unpleasantness with Prince Yan. But what exactly is unknown..."

"So..." Mrs. Lin sat at the side with a gloomy expression, and said for a long time: "Mingying, is there any maid who knows the basics who knows how to draw a small portrait? If there is, someone will draw the appearance of that girl today for me."

"Yes."

"Stand back now. If she says something, you can report to me again. Please be comforted and act carefully. Don't let others find out."

Mingying hesitated for a moment, "Ma'am, it was the eldest lady who asked..."

"Just pretend not to know."

After Mingying left the house, she still closed the door and didn't let anyone in to serve her.Lin was the only one in the room, still sitting upright, staring at a certain place, not knowing what he was thinking, and was quiet for a while.
