The mulberry life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 40

Lin Youran took the paper umbrella from the little girl, turned the wooden handle to open the pink white orchid and chrysanthemum umbrella, and trotted towards the girl in blue under the willow tree with her skirt.

The little maid, Zi Dai, looked at the jumping young lady, flattened her mouth as she ran, and complained: "Miss, slow down. You don't remember the last time you fell?"

Lin Youran remembered the embarrassing incident last time, and ran to the girl before angrily nodding the little girl's head, and reprimanded: "Can you not mention it, you have to mention the embarrassing incident of Miss a million times?" Ren'er asked: "Nuan Nuan, do you think this maid should be punished?"

Nuan Bao pulled back Lin Youran's hand, and said with a smile: "Zi Dai is just reminding you, you, when will you be calm?"

The little maid nodded approvingly, and said without feeling angry: "Miss should listen to what Miss Zhang has to say."

Lin Youran stomped angrily, took Nuan Bao's hand and walked forward, leaving the maid behind.

Nuan Bao took the paper umbrella and propped it between the two of them to slightly cover the sun behind them: "Let's sit around here, or we'll be annoyed if we bump into them."

Lin Youran giggled, "If it wasn't for being able to go out for a stroll, I wouldn't have come to the garden party they held."

Nuan Bao also deeply agrees that this kind of youth exchange meeting is really not suitable for her.

"They" refers to the classmates of Huilan Women's College. She has been in this college for a year. This spring is the second spring after Qin Chengyi left.

Lin Youran is a good friend she met in the college. Ever since her little uncle left, there have been news that Yongguo is going to attack Yiguo. .During the boarding period, Mrs. Zhong asked her and Xiaofu to go to the women's college to study and make friends. Nuanbao agreed after thinking that she had no close friends in two lifetimes.

The wind in spring is gentle, blowing through the pieces of silk ribbons, and the catkins flutter and fall with the wind, falling on the Big Wild Goose Lake and flowing with the water. , put a pot of tea and a few dishes of snacks.

Lin Youran's family background is ordinary, she is only the daughter of a businessman, so she is not popular with the ladies of the official family, but she is innocent and lively, and she is in a pile with Nuan Bao, who is also unpopular.

"Tell me, wouldn't they be mad if they couldn't find us?" Lin Youran covered her mouth and laughed wildly when she thought of the distorted faces of those young ladies after they got angry.

Zi Dai knelt aside to make tea, and couldn't help but said: "They don't care about people too much. If it wasn't for the filial piety of the master and other rich businessmen, how could they wear silk and satin and rouge. They are still bullying the young lady like this. When the young master becomes an official one day, they will look good to you."

Encouraged by the little maid, Lin Youran became even more excited, "That's right, just pretend that my father is a civil servant, so I will imitate that talented girl, bah! It's clear that I can't write big characters well, but I also learn to compose poems."

Nuan Bao rubbed her nose, she was also afraid of being with those official women, and it was scary to recite a poem every now and then.

Lin Youran picked up a piece of snack and put it in her mouth. Regardless of the powder on her mouth, she proudly said, "My brother will be able to take part in the scientific examination this year. With my brother's ability, it's no problem to be a scholar. When the time comes..."

Lin Youran's elder brother, Lin Yifeng, is the leader of the next generation of the Lin family. He has great talents and is expected by his elders, so he can definitely shoulder this important task.

So when Lin Youran said, Nuan Bao nodded heavily in agreement. Seeing Nuan Bao's chick pecking rice, Lin Youran leaned into Nuan Bao's ear and asked, "Does Nuan Nuan like my brother too?"

Nuan Bao patted Fei Lin Youran's approaching head, "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Ran, or it will tickle you."

Lin Youran didn't believe it, and Nuan Bao gritted her teeth with an "I understand" look.

"Okay, you little girl, you even tease me, and when you are captured by them in the future, I won't care about it anymore."

At this moment, there was a sudden voice: "Is what Miss Zhang said true? Then I won't be polite."

Nuan Bao and Lin Youran turned their heads at the same time, and it was the leading woman in pink who spoke, followed by three young girls in their twenties and thirteens.

"Lin Youran, the place you are looking for is really good. There are willows and lakes, and the spring flowers are blooming. Why don't we borrow a treasure land to enjoy the spring together? It's crazy catkins dancing with the wind, and the frivolous peach blossoms flowing with the water."

Nuanbao was trembling suddenly, this "talented girl" came again.She remembered that people in her previous life were often suave: "Rogues are not scary, but they are educated."Now this official second generation named Cui Tong is the most lethal figure among these women. It's not that she is snobbish, but that she is too gentle and lingering.You can have a crush on a woman who talks about poetry and Fu with you twelve hours a day, that is simply too tenacious.

Lin Youran twitched her lips, this is too bad, this Cui Tong is not very good at poetry, but he loves poetry like his life, whenever he talks to people, he always adds a line or two of poems to show his elegance.And Lin Youran is the best candidate in Cui Tong's eyes, one of the reasons is that she is a businesswoman, and Cui Tong thinks that she doesn't know how to teach, and she is full of money.The second reason is that Lin Youran's grades are the last one, and she is the last one, so it is inevitable to make a show in front of her.

Cui Tong didn't know about Lin Youran's master, and directly ordered the people behind him: "Everyone, please sit down. The spring is beautiful, and sitting on the ground is also a pleasure."

The people behind were ordered to sit down one by one, bent their legs together, and folded their hands in front of their legs. From a distance, they were all ladies, extremely demure.

Cui Tong sent a little maid to pick a flower, and everyone played drums to pass the flowers. Lin Youran was "bruised" by the questions, while Nuan Bao sat aside and was able to handle it, and was helpless when his good friend asked for help.

Zhong Caixin smiled and said to Nuan Bao who had just returned: "Look at you, it's as if you swallowed a lotus heart."

Nuan Bao frowned, who made her speechless when asked by a group of teenage girls, ancient poetry is really not her strong point.

Xiaofu picked up the bowl and ate candied dates and Sydney pear syrup spoonful by spoonful, and asked naively: "My sister is so stupid, they ask you about poetry, don't you know how to ask them about food?"

Zhong Caixin sighed, "I was planning to raise two talented girls, how did I know..."

Nuan Bao didn't think about it, so she replied, "It would be great if Auntie had another younger sister. She must be very powerful after receiving Auntie's true biography."

Zhong Caixin's smile faded away, and she looked at the crawling head without saying a word.

Nuan Bao covered her mouth, she must have been knocked out by the group of people attacking her one after another, otherwise why would she be so brainless.The little uncle has been away for two years, and until now he has not sent any news back. Although everyone said it was fine, there was always a thorn in their hearts.

Xiaofu was still ignorant, and after eating the sugar water, he ordered the little maid to have another bowl.

On the second day, Nuan Bao and Xiao Fu took a little maid to school.The little maid was allotted to Xiaofu, because Xiaofu was small and could cause trouble too much, without the maid to accompany him, he would probably have lost it long ago.Zhong Caixin also wanted to give Nuan Bao a maid, but she didn't think it was necessary. After all, she was not a rich lady, and it was difficult to change her habit. When her uncle came back, she would still be a small village girl in Zhangjia Village.

Lin Youran was waiting at the gate of the school. Zi Dai saw Nuan Bao and hurriedly lifted the curtain to help Miss get out of the car.The two entered the door together arm in arm.As if one night was too long, Lin Youran dragged Nuan Bao to talk non-stop. The topic was wide-ranging, Nuan Bao listened quietly, and finally got involved with Lin Yifeng.

"Nuan Nuan, why don't you be my sister-in-law, then we can play together forever."

"You think you don't need to get married?"

Lin Youran blushed, "I don't, my father has raised me for the rest of my life."

"I don't know who keeps telling me that Fu Tian is handsome and Fu Tian is the best..."

Lin Youran was exposed, and became angry from embarrassment: "Say it again, I won't share anything with you in the future."

Nuan Bao knew that she was thin-skinned, so she let her go: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it. Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, and you can't tell me about your brother in the future."

"What's wrong with my brother, you just think about your brother Cheng Yi, hum, my brother must be better than him."

Nuan Bao covered her mouth, "Are you so loud that you want everyone to know?"

Lin Youran also had a look of fear: "Fortunately, fortunately." She said, still persuading: "Think about it again, my brother is really good."

"Little girl, what are you talking about brother?"

It was Lin Yifeng's voice.

Nuan Bao was very embarrassed. She really couldn't tell people behind her back, so she was arrested.

Lin Youran rolled her eyes, and said flatteringly, "I'm talking about my brother, who will be my sister-in-law in the future, so happy." After speaking, she glanced at Nuanbao.

Lin Yifeng also looked at Nuan Bao, but unfortunately, the beautiful woman was expressionless, as if she couldn't hear her.He raised his spirits and sincerely invited with a smile on his face: "After school, is Ms. Zhang free to live in the cloud? Xiao Ran has wanted to go for a long time, why don't the three of us go together?"

Yunqiju is a tea house in the busy city. Its name comes from "Walk to the poor water, sit and watch the clouds rise".It is said that the interior is calm and elegant, and drinking tea inside is very interesting. Recently, it has become one of the popular gathering places for students.

Nuan Bao didn't know how to be fun, and didn't want to get too entangled with Lin Yifeng, so she shook her head and said, "I'm going home with my sister, I'm afraid I'll disappoint my lord."

Lin Youran wanted to say something else, but was glared at by Nuan Bao, and finally closed her mouth.

Lin Yifeng met Nuanbao on a warm afternoon. His younger sister, Xiaoran, disliked the college food and asked him to bring food from home. On that day, he saw Nuanbao sitting under a tree, and she stroked the big tree. Inch by inch was like stroking a treasure, and he couldn't help thinking that it would be the same for a tree fairy.It's so natural, so simple, it's not a beauty made by carving, it's as natural as it is made by nature.Every time I approached her in the future, I could feel the tranquility and ease emanating from her body.

Saying goodbye to Lin Yifeng, on the way back to class, Nuan Bao warned Lin Youran, "If you treat your brother well, don't join in. Don't you always know the person I like?"

Lin Youran hesitated to speak: "Why doesn't Nuannuan give brother a chance. He doesn't know if he can..."

Nuan Bao's heart tightened, he will definitely come back.I promised her, didn't I.
