Lin Gongzi medicine jar

A red rope, each holding a section.

Lin Xi quietly tied it to the jade pendant, and wore it close to her chest. It was white in color, carved with a singing phoenix, and tied with a piece of red string, the meaning of which was self-evident.

But Zhao Jingyi hid him in his purse, not even showing Zhao Yuanrong the treasure.

Since that day, the two seem to have been bound by that little red rope, and they are no longer alone in the dark.

Sitting together and watching the fireworks that night, holding hands and walking down the long steps together, the lights were shining, it was better than talking to each other, lingering and sentimental.

The circles of the two are naturally different, and they are relatives who have gone their own way on the first day of the new year.

On the second day of junior high school, the married girl came home, Lin Xi's mother died early, and the Xiao family's in-laws were in contact, so he naturally wanted to replace his mother and return home to pay New Year's greetings.

After Xiao Jinping passed away, he was not close to his wife's family, and there were rumors that he was about to marry Princess Jing'an. No one said whether Zhao Jingyigui would come as a prince or not, and the Marquis of Yongning did not expect it.

Xiao Jinlan, on the other hand, did not come last year due to illness, but this year she still rode in the chariots and horses regulated by Prince Liang's Mansion, and went to Yongning Marquis Mansion with all the pomp, but this year King Liang did not accompany her.

A prince's side concubine who was very likely to be crowned the Great Treasure was very favored, and the Hou Mansion couldn't neglect this aunt, so they surrounded her into the Chongjin Hall.

After a while, Lin Xi came to say hello.

It's just that he was a little embarrassed today.

Although he didn't publicize it, his marriage with the Bai family is no longer a secret, and Mrs. Tai has no intention of hiding it.

The two elders have already ventilated, as long as there are no accidents, it will be a certainty.

As in previous years, he saw the ceremony one by one, but this time the eyes that fell on him were always a bit playful, which made Lin Xi wish he could finish the ceremony in a hurry and then retreat.

But when he saw Xiao Jinlan, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Xiao Jinlan is gorgeously dressed and has a beautiful appearance. Even if she is sitting quietly, her beautiful eyes are full of amorous feelings in an instant. After three years in the Liang Palace, this girl's innocence and childishness quickly faded away. Some of them couldn't recognize it.

Good and bad.

Lin Xi glanced at him and hurriedly retreated. He seemed to be running away, so he didn't notice that pair of beautiful eyes was looking at his back.

After he left, an aunt asked: "When I saw it a few years ago, I knew that the young master of our third sister's family was not someone in the pool. Now it seems that it is really the case, but I don't know when we can ask for a wedding wine?"

Mrs. Tai smiled and said implicitly: "Say nonsense, the horoscope has not been written, it will not affect the reputation of the girl's family."

Even though he said so, the smile on Mrs. Tai's face didn't look like she was angry at all, and everyone suddenly felt confident, so they booed and said: "Mrs. Tai is too modest, everyone has heard about it. Is there a holiday? A few days ago, the old lady of Qingpinghou celebrated her birthday, and the eldest lady of the Bai family and the second lady also went. I just asked, although the second lady didn't say anything, she was not upset. The eldest lady even praised our young master Lin !"

"It is Xi'er's blessing to be able to marry Miss Bai's family, but whether he can succeed or not depends on whether the Bai family can take a liking to him. This child is shy and doesn't like to talk, which really worries the old lady."

Mrs. Shan has always been the best at talking, holding Mrs. Tai's arm and said with a smile: "You, don't worry about it, just wait for your grandson's daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has already prepared a meeting gift here, and I can hardly cover it , I also want to give it out as soon as possible.”

Shan has always been generous, sweet-mouthed and not fussy, Mrs. Tai also likes her the most, hugging her with a smile and scolding: "It's too bad that the fourth brother doesn't talk about you, how can there be such a waste of money."

"My mother said so, but the daughter-in-law will not follow her. If she wants to blame her, she can blame her nephew for causing pain. I can't control this." Mrs. Shan pretended to be wronged.

An aunt complimented: "No wonder the old lady loves the fourth lady. Such a caring daughter-in-law is hard to find in the whole capital."

Mrs. Liu suddenly smiled forcedly. The youngest son and daughter-in-law don't need to support the family. They eat and live in the public house. Si Tianzi's close ministers are even more numerous, so they are naturally rich.

And this is obviously due to her daughter-in-law, otherwise Lin Xi, who has no father and no mother, would have the opportunity to know Mr. Bai, be appreciated by the Bai family, and then marry Miss Bai?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but said: "Heng'er accompanied his wife back to her mother's house, and I don't know what the in-law's second aunt means. When she comes back, we should make the rules as soon as possible."

The sound in the room suddenly disappeared, Shan Shi said: "That's right, it's also thanks to the young lady, otherwise I don't know that the Bai family is so fancy to Xi'er."

Mrs. Tai glanced at Mrs. Liu, but said nothing.

At this time, Xiao Jinlan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, "Grandmother, my granddaughter wants to go back to Pinlanyuan to see the third sister."

A room full of middle-aged women, such a young woman really couldn't sit still, Mrs. Tai readily agreed, "Your yard is always there, and the sisters can see each other a few times throughout the year, so it's good to talk."

Xiao Jinlan bowed her body and left.

"Miss! Don't go so fast."

As soon as Xiao Jinlan came out of the Chongjin Hall, she hurried away with her skirt in her hand. The maidservant behind her followed immediately without knowing it, and she saw Xiao Jinlan said to her close maid: "Two mothers are invited to drink tea. , no need to follow."

A mother immediately laughed and said: "Miss side concubine, empress wangfei ordered this old slave to follow and serve you, so that this old slave can advise you if there are any important matters."

The willow eyebrows on Xiao Jinlan's beautiful face immediately stood up, and the corners of her raised eyes were sharp, and she said coldly: "Mom, this is the Yongning Hou Mansion, what can happen in my mother's house? Let you drink tea That's it, don't say that the Hou's mansion has no way to treat guests. I'm going to talk to my third sister and tell my heart, don't you want to listen?"

As she spoke, she glanced at her maid, and the two maids stretched out their hands to stop the two mothers, and said with a smile: "Mom also knows that our side concubine is the least happy to be followed, but it's just that the princess is kind and our side concubine knows it very well. I didn't refuse, or I misinterpreted the meaning, and it would be bad to embarrass the prince and concubine when I get to the prince, don't you think?"

If Xiao Jinlan hadn't been a concubine, the current Princess Liang would not be able to suppress her at all based on her family background. That's what the concubine was looking for at the time. Coupled with Xiao Jinlan's youth and beauty, King Liang's favor can be easily obtained.

When the pillow wind blows, even Princess Liang can't stop it.

Xiao Jinlan stopped talking nonsense and walked away. In fact, she didn't know where to go, she just felt that staying in that room and listening to everyone's words would make people breathless.

Although it was cold this winter, the sun came out rarely today, and it seemed to bring some warmth when it shone on people, but Xiao Jinlan came out in a hurry, dressed in brocade clothes, no matter how lively the embroidery on the clothes was, it couldn't keep out the cold.

"Miss, wait a minute. This servant is here to find a piece of clothing. There is a pavilion in front of you. Lychee, you can accompany Miss to sit there."

Just in that pavilion, there was a figure standing.

"cousin!"

"Second cousin." Lin Xi turned around in surprise.

Standing outside the pavilion, Xiao Jinlan didn't know whether to go in or come out. Facing Lin Xi, her heart was complicated and difficult to speak.

Lin Xi didn't know how she met Xiao Jinlan, shouldn't all the female relatives be in Chongjintang?

It's just that the girl was wearing thin clothes, so Lin Xi had no choice but to say: "Second cousin, come in, it's cold outside, here can keep out the wind."

This meeting happened unexpectedly, the maids on both sides are there, and there is no need to avoid it deliberately. Standing here, Lin Xi really wants to be alone. His marriage, Mrs. Tai, is [-]% satisfied, and it has almost become known to everyone. Now, how to cancel is really a headache.

Xiao Jinlan clenched her hands, helped the maid into the pavilion, sat on the other side, and subconsciously looked at Lin Xi.

In another year, he will reach the championship. He is talented, handsome and calm, and there is nothing wrong with him.

Thinking of those words, her heart suddenly twitched. The older she was, the more she could understand what she wanted. Prince Liang's mansion is bright and beautiful, but the inside is only a lot more dirty than Hou's mansion. Liang Wang's favor is like a flash in the pan, but if he loses favor, he is nothing.

Xiao Jinlan suddenly asked: "Cousin, have you met the second miss of the Bai family?"

Lin Xi paused and shook her head.

Xiao Jinlan's eyes fell on the bald branches in the distance, and she smiled, "I have seen it before. That day at the birthday banquet of the old lady of Qingping Hou, I followed the princess to celebrate her birthday. He sensually took off his cloak to cover the young lady's dirt, and found a reason to change clothes together. You can tell by looking at the elder sister-in-law, the girls of the Bai family are always beautiful and intelligent, and they have a certain amount of advance and retreat. Cousin, do you like such a woman?"

Lin Xi suddenly didn't know how to answer, whether it was or not, he didn't want to talk about this question with this unfamiliar cousin.

However, when Lin Xi was silent, Xiao Jinlan's tears immediately flowed down, "I know...it's impossible, but I always have to make a final confirmation before giving up..."

"Miss!" Li Zhi almost cried out, and turned to look at Lin Xi.

He didn't say anything, he didn't do anything!

Lin Xi quickly tapped her hand, turned and left, but suddenly heard a mocking and sharp laugh.

"Second Sister, what kind of woman Cousin likes has nothing to do with you, Cousin also, if you really like Second Sister, you should ask Second Sister to marry before she is married!"

Xiao Jinxin stood up from the back of the pavilion and looked at them with a smile, with unspeakable malicious intentions in her smile, "I heard that the second sister is coming to catch up with my younger sister. I don't know how happy my younger sister is. I have prepared tea, melons and fruits earlier. Waiting for the second sister, but I don't want to... It turned out that it was just an excuse from the second sister. The younger sister couldn't wait and couldn't wait. She was afraid that something would happen to the second sister, so she came here. If she had known that the second sister was here to see her cousin , I should also tell my sister, so as not to be like this now..."

Behind Xiao Jinxin were several servant girls and mothers, including Lu's mother, a mother in charge of Chongjintang, and a mother who followed from the Liang Palace.

Xiao Jinlan's maid, Juye, was holding a fluffy cloak and looking anxiously at this place.

The mother of Prince Liang's mansion curled her mouth downwards, and there was sarcasm under the deep decree pattern, "The side concubine..."

However, before she could say a complete sentence, Yuanyuan stood up and retorted loudly: "Miss San's words are really funny, our young master didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and we are not far away from the second aunt." You are so close to the third lady, how come the third lady said that you are interested in the second aunt? The sun is shining today, even if it is compiled into a drama, it can’t be performed! Although our servants are humble, we are still considered It’s a thing that can talk and see, isn’t it that you are blind here? If the young lady of the Yongning Hou’s family is like this, even if you meet by chance, it’s no wonder that no one has climbed the door!”

Xiao Jinxin suddenly held back her breath, and before she could speak, Tuantuan interjected: "That's right, my aunt is married and still can be misunderstood like this. It can be seen that if we are still in the pavilion, our young master will not be able to clean up by jumping into the river, Miss San... ..." Tuantuan suddenly smiled, "You have to be careful, don't get so close to the young master, the young master doesn't mean that much."

The two maids beside Lin Xi have never been submissive. Back then, Lin Xi was weak and refused to let others go. Not to mention now, they have to trample each other down.

Moreover, he stomped hard on his sore feet.

Following Tuantuan's intentions, everyone subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinxin.

That gaze was nothing at all, but now that she is so sensitive, she suddenly felt like a glow, and she said loudly: "Nonsense! What is his identity, what qualifications does he have..."

Mother Lu sighed in her heart, and immediately stretched out her hand to pester Xiao Jinxin to make her stop talking.

Mother Lu tried her best to prevent Xiao Jinxin from coming.

She is the most capable mother in charge around Liu Shi, and she also watched Xiao Jinxin grow up since she was a child. Her status and affection are unusual, and Xiao Jinxin listens to her words.

But ever since Prince Rui's marriage was about to be decided, and Marquis Yongning wanted to marry Xiao Jinxin, he became more and more surly. Today, he just heard what a little girl said, so he brought someone to come here immediately without saying a word. The two mothers of Prince Liang's mansion were also found!

Even if the second aunt and the cousin really have something, the family scandal must not be publicized!

Xiao Jinlan's reputation has been ruined, but Xiao Jinxin can still get it, okay?Back then, Xiao Jinping's killing of the concubine was still going on, if something happened today, the girls in the Yongning Hou's family would not marry!

Xiao Jinxin was stopped by Lu's mother, and she was robbed by a maid again. The mother of the Prince Liang's mansion immediately darkened, "Master, when did you talk about the maid, this is the rule in your house? It really is not right The lower beam is crooked, which can be regarded as a person's experience."

After the sudden appearance of this group of people, Lin Xi didn't speak any more. At this moment, she just raised her eyelids, without even looking at the two mothers, she curled her lips and asked casually, "Master? Second cousin, forgive me I am ignorant, what are the identities of these two in Prince Liang's residence?"

Xiao Jinlan shook her skirt leisurely, shifted her eyes from Xiao Jinxin's body to the faces of the two mothers, and then asked Ju Ye expressionlessly, "Aren't you two mothers drinking tea? Let the servants move around at will?"

Immediately, the mother's face turned ugly, "The side concubine, even the queen concubine will give the old slave a few face-offs."

Xiao Jinlan looked at her bright red nails, and said inadvertently: "I will ask the prince and concubine exactly what they said, and I will obey what they say."

At this time, Mrs. Liu came hurriedly from a distance, and Mrs. Qi's mother, who was in front of Mrs. Tai, also came together, with a serious look.

"what happened?"

Xiao Jinlan glanced sideways at Mrs. Liu, ignored her, and instead said sarcastically to Xiao Jinxin: "Sister, I'm just a concubine, so what can I do if you step on me in the mud? You won't be clean if you fall away." Where to go, the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion has been closed long ago, you should wake up from daydreaming, you don't want the reputation of your daughter's family, other younger sisters still want to marry and have a good future."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jinxin cried and threw herself into Liu's arms.

Mrs. Liu had already heard about what happened on the way, that Xiao Jinxin was her daughter, even if there was something wrong, she didn't want to be at fault, and Xiao Jinlan's arrogant attitude also displeased her.

So she lowered her face and reprimanded: "What kind of quarrel is there between you two sisters? Why do you make it so that everyone knows it's a joke? It's a broken bone and a tendon is still connected. No one is allowed to quarrel! Xin'er, you two It’s hard for my sister to come back once, no matter how much she misses her, she doesn’t have to rush over by herself, just send a servant girl to invite her! Don’t talk nonsense if you are unhappy when you see her, how old you are, take it as a joke, go and ask you My sister apologizes."

Xiao Jinlan is loved by King Liang, seeing Xiao Jinxin has no future, she is really afraid that the girl will blow the pillow wind and let her daughter marry someone who is not human.

Xiao Jinxin reluctantly apologized to Xiao Jinlan under Liu Shi's hard pinch: "My sister's unscrupulous words have offended the second sister. Is it my sister? Second sister, don't be angry."

Lin Xi looked sideways, this matter is not big or small, but it is true that the girl wanted to ruin both of them. Xiao Jinlan fell out of favor, and Lin Xi would not even want to marry Miss Bai's family.It's just that she forgot that this kind of sex scandal is extremely harmful to women, especially those who have not yet left the cabinet.

How could Mrs. Liu make this matter a big deal, so she immediately determined the nature of the sisters' quarrel.

However, Xiao Jinlan just sneered and remained silent.

Mrs. Liu's expression was gloomy all of a sudden, Mama Qi knew what was going on, so she said: "The banquet is about to open, so don't stick here to blow the cold wind, Madam, Second Aunt, Grandma, and Third Miss, why don't you go back to Chongjintang, or the old lady will be worried." Yes, Master Biao..."

"I'm going to look for my uncle."

Qi's mother smiled and said: "Well, the eldest and second young masters accompanied the young mistresses back to their natal home. Young Biao is not an outsider, so it's time to accompany Master Hou and Fourth Master to entertain guests."

At this time, a servant of Chong Jin Tang suddenly ran over and shouted: "Madam, Prince Liang and Prince Rui are here."

Lin Xi was going to the front yard, so there was no need to go now, the two uncles must have accompanied her.

It's just Liang Wang and Zhao Jingyi, this combination is really interesting.

Mrs. Liu said: "Let's go, Mother Lu, take Miss San back to her room."

"Mother!" Xiao Jinxin's bright eyes immediately became anxious, but Liu Shi turned stern, and she closed her mouth unwillingly, with endless grievances in her expression.

Liu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. If it wasn't for the presence of other people, they would have thought of killing her.

"Send Miss back!" Mrs. Liu said again, her tone was very stern, Mother Lu immediately took Xiao Jinxin to the Fangfei Pavilion, and whispered: "My dear lady, you are not engaged yet, listen to Madam, we Let's go back."

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Xiao Jinxin couldn't help covering her face any longer, and ran away crying.

I don't know who benefited from this farce.
