C143 (1/2)
The two ladies walked arm in arm through the side door into the backyard.
The backyard had long been set up by the Grand Madam Palace. The Palace and the Palace's family members had all gathered, so the few families gathered together and only sent a few children to the backyard with maids and wives to admire the lotus.
The lotus flower was only the cause. Now that it was the end of summer, there was no more lotus flower in the pond.
Of course, the ones who were the most active were Shao Xi and Lin Lian. Shao Xi had always had a flamboyant personality, but now, it was as if she had forgotten about the matter of the First Princess Pingning Palace proposing marriage. Although there aren't any more lotuses in the pond now, but I have heard that the Dafu Temple's lotus roots are extremely tasty. When used to make soup, the lotus roots are extremely tasty, and when used to cook soup, the lotus roots are extremely sweet.
She said whatever she wanted to say, but Lin Lian naturally agreed. ”Then let's go to the Lotus Pond …”
”I don't think so …” She was born weak and delicate, her features were beautiful and gave people a comfortable feeling in their hearts. Now, she spoke even more weakly than before, ”The monks in this temple are all disciples of the Buddha, if we come here to enjoy the incense, we have already troubled the monks. If we were to ask them to dig out lotus roots for us, I'm afraid that would be too much for them!”
”Why is it not justified?” The one who said this was Shao Xi. Although both she and Lu Suiyu were born from a concubine, they did not know where she got the confidence to look down on Lu Suiyu, ”If the Buddha can really protect this monk from the Dafu Temple, then why are the masters of the temple so happy to see us adding oil to the wealth? If not for us raising them, they would have gone to the streets! ”
Lu Suiyu was a bit timid. Seeing her say this, he didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, Huaiyin who was walking in front of Shao Shengping could not help but turn around and look at him when he heard this.
Shao Shengping also turned his head, and said softly: ”Sister Xi'er, this is a quiet place, don't speak nonsense!”
When she turned her head, it made many girls' faces turn red, they all lowered their heads, as if they wanted to look, but did not dare to. Seeing Shao Shengping leaving them far behind, their steps also became faster.
Only Lin Shu and Lin Hui stayed behind. After walking a few steps, Lin Hui shouted, ”Sister Shu, let's take a break, I can't walk anymore.”
It was obvious that she did not want to interact any more with the Huaiyin.
Lin Shu could only say: ”Then let's take a break.”
Other than the scented tassels, Lin Hui only dismissed the servant girls by her side and said softly: ”Sister Shu, I might as well just marry Huaiyin. To me, it's the same for everyone else except for Brother Yao, I even made Father and Mother worry for me, especially when I saw how Mother was always frowning and worrying towards everyone, but when she came to me, she still forced a smile, and felt that I am becoming more and more unfilial.”
Everyone says that the Huaiyin looks like Zhou Zheng, his personality is pure and good, I just saw him and felt that, when Shao Xi was making things difficult for his little sister, he had an unhappy face, which means that the family must be very harmonious, and that if I were to marry him, I would not have to suffer much.
He was truly sick and had grown up a lot!
Even Lin Shu could not help but exclaim: ”It's good that you can think like this, and I think that the Huaiyin Palace values this marriage extremely, and even personally said that they would like you to meet after being rejected by the First Aunt. With such a mother-in-law, your life will be easier in the future. ”
Lin Hui nodded her head, thus agreeing to the marriage.
In her previous life, she was also married to the Huaiyin, but Lin Shu didn't know why she was so unhappy with him in the end, she could still remember when she was placed under house arrest by Shao Shengping, Lin Hui had secretly gone to see her, and she couldn't help but ask a few more questions about their sisterhood.
But who would have known that at that time, Lin Hui said with reddened eyes, ”I was merely suffering through bitter days. If it wasn't for my child, I … I'm afraid I've long since left him. ”
At that time, she was still trying to persuade Lin Hui not to throw her temper away, but at that time, Lin Hui shook her head, looking like she wanted to say something but was hesitating to do so.
Now that she thought about it, Lin Shu originally planned to advise her a little, but after thinking about it, not to mention Lin Hui in her previous life, even he himself had a really good temper. Every family had their own problems, and even her teeth would clench against her tongue when they spoke, so how could there not be a quarrel between husband and wife? What's more, there was no mistake about the marriage between Huaiyin Palace at all.
The two rested for a while, then went to the pond at the back of the mountain.
There were only failed lotuses left in the pond, looking at the few small boats in the middle of the lake from afar, Lin Shu only found a servant and asked: ”Are they there already?”
Maid was trembling with fear as he said in a low voice, ”The elders and ladies are getting interested. They said that they all want to go harvest the lotus leaves to see who has more lotus leaves.”
It was a good thing that there were many well-informed women around. If something were to happen, they would immediately go to save him.
Lin Hui could not help but shake her head, and said softly: ”I'm afraid it's Shao Xi's idea again, she has a lot of clever ideas. I wonder if she will still be able to smile after marrying off to the First Princess Pingning Palace.”
