Chapter 10 (1/2)
”Fourth cousin!”
”What else are you doing here?”
”Fourth cousin.” Lin Xining quickly walked two steps, stopped Chu Jinmiao in front, and asked helplessly, ”what's the matter with you?”
”What can I do? You have five cousins one at a time. Yes, I know she's back. I, the dove occupying the magpie's nest, will make room for others. All of you go to her! What are you looking for me to do? Haven't I lost enough face today?”
Lin Xining knew what was wrong with Chu Jinmiao. He hurriedly said, ”what are you talking about? We've known each other since we were five or six years old, but today is the first time I saw her. I think she's alone and can't even find the way. That's why I took her to my grandmother. In terms of intimacy, of course, it's still closer to cousins like you and me who grew up since childhood!”
”You also think she's pathetic.” Chu Jinmiao sneered. ”Yes, she's the real daughter. I'm a fake. I don't know when I'll be kicked out. She's pathetic. I deserve it anyway.”
”There's nothing.” Lin Xining softened his voice and comforted Chu Jinmiao in a soft voice, ”You are the child who grew up here. After 13 years of hard work, everyone regards you as their own girl. Now, although the fifth cousin has come back, how long she has lived here and how long you have lived here. Grandma and others will pay special attention to her only if they want to make up for her. In fact, grandma and aunt must love you more. Think about it, if there are guests at home, won't they What good things must be kept close to the guests first? ”
Chu Jinmiao thought for a moment and reluctantly said, ”yes.”
”That's it.” Lin Xining said with a smile. ”You see, you also understand this truth. That's how you and your fifth cousin are. Don't worry. You're the daughter who has been raised for 13 years. Feelings come out of each other.”
Chu Jinmiao was explained. He kept pulling his face and smiled: ”then why are you so considerate to her today? She looks good, aren't you...”
”What do you think?” Lin Xining smiled and stretched out his hand to play Chu Jinmiao's forehead. ”It's not too much for her to say she's a stranger to me. Even if the girls in other houses get lost at home, I'll take them out. It has nothing to do with my fifth cousin.”
Chu Jinmiao hummed softly, ”that's good.”
”You are still so fond of making small sex.” Lin Xining looked at Chu Jinmiao and smiled spoiled.
”But there are no five girls, six girls and seven girls. Don't think I don't know. Many girls are secretly looking at you at the banquet today.” Chu Jinmiao said and lamented, ”You are the legitimate son of the king's residence, and I am just an ordinary young lady of Houmen, not even a girl of serious origin. It turned out that we are young and have no taboo, but we have grown up. I'm afraid we can't be as kind as when we were young.”
Lin Xining thought of his mother's intention of coming to Changxing Hou's house and said in a low voice, ”No.”
”Why not?” Chu Jinmiao smiled bitterly. The smile on her face was weak and bitter. Obviously, she thought of her life experience. She said: ”it's only me. I didn't die directly when I was a child. Instead, I have to live to now and occupy other people's wealth.”
”Fourth cousin!”
Chu Jinmiao shook her head and didn't want to say any more. She asked, ”cousin, what are you doing back this time?”
The family had told Lin Xining not to talk outside, but her cousin was not an outsider, let alone she would know sooner or later. Lin Xining thought like this. After seeing no one around, he whispered to Chu Jinmiao, ”mother came back this time to pick two girls to go to the king's house to study with the county leader.”
”County leader!” Chu Jinmiao covered his mouth. The county leader was a famous figure in Taiyuan. She was the direct daughter of King huailing. For these Hou Men Ladies, it was an incomparable and noble existence. Chu Jinyao was surprised and said, ”how can it be related to the county leader for no reason? Moreover, if the county leader wanted to study, he would have asked someone to accompany him before. Why do you look for him now?”
”Alas, it's not because of that.” Lin Xining quickly pointed to the north and hinted to Chu Jinmiao, ”That's in Shanxi. My uncle wants to open his hand. Our three younger sisters don't like reading and play crazy all day. My uncle and aunt really can't control it. Then I thought that maybe the three younger sisters can sit down with some girls from outside and accompanied by their peers.”
Chu Jinmiao didn't understand at first. Who was that? Why didn't Lin Xining say it? But when he heard it later, he thought about the direction of Lin Xining's fingers. Chu Jinmiao was so scared that he almost cried out: ”you mean, prince?”
”Shh!” Lin Xining hurriedly covered Chu Jinmiao's mouth. Chu Jinmiao's mouth was covered and his eyes widened in surprise. Lin Xining hurried to look around and made sure there was no one. When he looked back, he realized what he had done. He quickly let go, took two steps back and said incoherently, ”sorry, fourth cousin, I was rude just now.”
Then Lin Xining's face turned red.
Chu Jinmiao shook her head in a trance and said, ”nothing's wrong.” however, in fact, she didn't pay attention to Lin Xining's actions at all. All her thoughts had flown to another person.
Go to the prince's residence to study with the county leader. Maybe you can see the prince. If the county leader really becomes the crown princess, what about reading with him?
