Presumably, Lin Qian received some advice from the Second Madam, so she didn't ask about what happened yesterday and only happily said: ”… The plum blossoms in the garden are already blooming, I mentioned it to my fifth sister when I went to greet my grandmother, so why don't we set up a Plum Blossom Meet and invite our brothers along the way? Sister Shu, what do you think? ”
At first, Lin Shu was afraid that others would say that she was Lian Family's granddaughter, afraid that others would look down on her. But when it came to the poetry meet, she was always the most enthusiastic one.
Even if it was just to please herself, Lin Ye had no reason not to, ”Alright, since you all want to host the Plum Blossom Meet, then just let me be. Why don't we set it the day after tomorrow? My Brother Yao is back too. When the time comes, we can all participate, and it will be quite lively. ”
Lin Qian nodded in agreement but what surprised Lin Shu was that she had only reminded her not to be late the next day. She also said a few more words, but not a single one of them concerned the matter of Princess Changze hitting her.
Waiting for Lin Qian to leave, Lin Shu caressed the tea Gu with her green fingers, she could not help but think that Lin Qian had mentioned Lin Lian just now. Seems like not only the Second Branch wanted to ask about this, even Lin Lian wanted to help.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Plum Blossom Meet. Although the weather was cold, the pavilion was covered by curtains to protect against the wind and snow, and there were several large carbon basins in the pavilion, so it was not considered too cold. Furthermore, it was the first time the children had eaten barbecue in winter.
Today, not only were Lin Shu and the other girls present, even some of the people from Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had come. However, their big brother — — County Prince, was stunned for a moment before he left.
Of the remaining few, Lin Hui was naturally the most active as she chattered. ”... Tell me, we should hold more of these kinds of banquets every year. Only then will it be interesting, and all day long, we would gather around our elders and drink by their side, not even daring to say a single word out loud, for fear that if we say something wrong it will arouse the dislike of our elders, unlike us who are together and can say whatever we want to say! ”
”Third sister is right!” He was the eldest son of the Second Branch, and was only six or seven years old right now. Because it was not easy for the Second Madam to give birth to a brother like him, he had always been very pampered.
Lin Qian passed a piece of roasted venison to his brother, telling him to eat faster.
Lin Shu also picked up a piece of venison from the bowl, but there was no appetite at all as the chopsticks turned and turned on the venison.
When Lin Hui saw this, she could not help but mutter: ”Sister Shu, the meat in your bowl will get cold if you do not eat it now …”
In truth, she knew that Lin Shu was a person with high spirits, she would definitely not be happy if she was slapped by Princess Changze. She thought about what her mother had told her these past few days, ”Weren't you always on good terms with Sister Shu? Why didn't Sister Shu even tell you why she got slapped? It would be best for you to ask more about what's going on, so that only we, in the He’s Mansion, are not in the dark. When we get to your grandmother's side, we don't even know what to say, and then we will be completely suppressed by your Second Aunt. ”
Before she left, First Madam did not forget to remind her of this, but she never planned to ask. If Sister Shu wanted to tell her, she would have said it without her asking.
Lin Shu shook her head, but just as she was about to speak, a melodious male voice came from the entrance of the pavilion, ”Does cousin think that the venison is not tasty? When I came back from White Horse Institute, I saw some wild chickens on the road. I saw that it was not bad, so I brought a few back.
Lin Shu looked up, who else could this person be other than Yao.
He held the feathers on the buttocks of a few wild chickens in his hands, looking very comical. The manservant behind him even held a few wild chickens, which were still cooing.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but burst out laughing. Lin Chengyi quickly ran over, ”Brother Yao, Brother Yao, is this the feathers of a wild chicken? ”But it's really interesting. I've only seen peacock feathers before, can you give me one?”
Since Lian Yao had always been a generous person, he naturally gave him a stalk of the pheasant's hair.
All of a sudden, all the little boys at the scene came up to ask for it. It was very lively.
Lin Shu's gaze landed on the person beneath the incense tree not far away. Who else could it be other than Duke Chengan from Duke Chengan's residence, Shao Shengping?
On the other hand, he was much more disciplined than when he was with Yao Yao. He thought about how he had quite a few ladies by his side at the pavilion, making it difficult for him to step forward.
Lin Lian also saw it, and said softly: ”Brother Yao can just give these wild chickens to your servants, let's eat barbecue together! A few days ago, Fourth Sister told Second Sister that he would have to wait for your return before this Plum Blossom Meet could be set up. ”
After everyone heard this, they covered their mouths and laughed, and looked at Lin Shu with meaningful eyes.
However, Lin Hui puffed her cheeks and said: ”Lian Jieer, don't speak nonsense.
Even Yao Yao had a bit of a smile on his face as he looked deeply into Lin Shu's eyes. Then, he said with a smile, ”I won't be coming anymore. Today, I brought a guest back.”
