The Forest of Red Mansions

"Nalan Wanxiu? A girl from the Nalan family?" Lin Daiyu looked curiously at the post in her hand, to the effect that the plum blossoms in the house were in full bloom, and everyone was invited to enjoy the flowers together.

Lin Daiyu never cared about this, but was attracted by the words on the post.

This character is quite beautifully written. Although she is still a little immature, she has already shown her strength. At the age of ten or so, it is extremely rare to have such accomplishments. She must be a girl full of talents.

Involuntarily, Lin Daiyu felt a little curious and fond of this "Nalan Wanxiu".

Lin Jinyao said: "The girl in the eldest room of Nalan's family is probably Nalan Xingde's daughter."

She remembered that Nian Gengyao's wife seemed to be Nalan Xingde's daughter, but she wondered if it was this one?

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, "Nalan Xingde? Is that the great talent? No wonder, if it's his daughter, it's no wonder she has such talent."

Hearing the admiration for Nalan Xingde in her words, Lin Jinyao couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly, "Why, Dai'er was also fascinated by his phrase 'one generation, one pair, and two places to teach*'?"

Lin Daiyu's pretty face was shy and dreamy, "Don't my sister think that he is really infatuated? It's a pity...the love will never last, and the wisdom will hurt..."

Lin Jinyao couldn't help showing a mocking smile, "How did you know that he was infatuated? Just by those few poems? Then do you still remember his concubine, step-wife, and confidante? Especially that Jiangnan Shen Wan, a famous courtesan, is really a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, but I don't know that when he and Shen Wan were tender and affectionate, he still remembered his dead wife."

"Nalan Xingde is indeed a talented man full of poems and books, but I think it is ridiculous to say 'infatuated'. If you want me to say, he is also a romantic talent."

Lin Daiyu was stunned, speechless for a moment, suddenly felt a sense of loss and sadness of disillusionment of the "male god", and her whole body was listless.

"Men in this world are really... Is it really that difficult to be a couple for a lifetime, with white heads inseparable?"

Not only is this world difficult, even the later generations of monogamy will always have all kinds of mistresses and mistresses.

Lin Jinyao slandered silently, poked her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, what do children want to do so much? They think about these things when they are only a few years old, and they are not afraid to spread the word and make people laugh. Or say, my family Dai'er finally enlightened?"

Lin Daiyu became angry from embarrassment, "My sister is getting more and more narrow-minded, she is used to bullying me all day long, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" After saying that, she stood up and left with a small waist twist.

……

At the beginning of the three-year filial piety, they could not participate in various banquets. After the filial piety, the old ladies, wives, and grandmas of the Jia family never went out to socialize, as if they were always at home playing with their own family members. The girls are growing up gradually, and it's time to take them out to "see the world". I just keep all the girls at home to play with that phoenix egg all day long, and I don't know what to say.

After careful calculation, this is the first time that the two sisters of the Lin family have shown their faces in the upper circles of the capital, so Lin Jinyao also attaches great importance to this trip, and got up early to carefully groom herself and her sister from head to toe before leaving out the door.

Nalan Mingzhu is a powerful official in the court. Her younger sister entered the palace to accompany her in her early years and gave birth to the eldest son of the current emperor. She has already occupied a place in the harem. Although she is getting older and no longer favored, she is still the eldest son of the emperor. His biological mother also raised an eighth elder brother under her knees, even in front of the Holy Majesty, she was somewhat respectable.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Nalan family is definitely one of the most prominent families in this dynasty, and its mansion is naturally extraordinary and imposing, making it daunting.

The sedan chair was carried directly to the front of the hanging flower door before it landed. After the maids drew up the curtains, Lin Jinyao and Lin Daiyu supported the girl's hand and got off the sedan chair one after the other.

But I saw Lin Jinyao wearing a bright red brocade and multicolored make-up jacket with sleeves, a rouge-colored brocade and hair-trimmed cloak on the outside, and a smoke-tailed skirt with butterflies and flowers, a peacock-pattern palace ribbon tied around the skirt, and cinnabar dots on her black hair bun. Cui Chaoyang hangs a pearl hairpin, and on her ears is a pair of red gold inlaid ruby ​​and pomegranate earrings.

Peach cheeks and apricot face, eyes full of autumn water, graceful body, beautiful dimples are more delicate than flowers.

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, was wearing a pair-breasted jacket with a plain face made of crescent moon and flowers, a cloak with green calyx on a white background, a pleated skirt sprinkled with sky and water, a blue ruyi pattern palace sash, a white magnolia hairpin on her arm, and a pair of pinched gold wires. Dropping bead earrings.

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water, and it is naturally carved and decorated. It is quiet like a delicate flower shining on the water, and it moves like a weak willow supporting the wind.

The two sisters, one is gorgeous but not vulgar but not bewitching, and the other is beautiful and elegant, but they are both stunning in the world.

With only one meeting, the other girls have all been defeated.

Nalan Wanxiu and the others couldn't help feeling complicated for a while, like sighing or jealous.

"The two younger sisters are truly peerless beauties. Whenever the two younger sisters show up in the future, I'm afraid we will all be used as backdrops." Nalan Wanxiu stepped forward to hold the hands of the two Lin sisters, with a smile on her face joked, and then introduced each other to each other.

There were not many people invited by Nalan Wanxiu this time, but all of them were well-known families in the capital, such as the Niu Colu family, the Guo Luoluo family, the Ulanara family, and the Dong E family. Most of them are about the same age, and they are basically the show girls who should participate in this election.

There were only two people who caught Lin Jinyao's attention the most, one was Guo Luoluo's Pearl, the granddaughter of Anjun Wang Yuele, the daughter of Ming Shang's consort, who is also the future Eight Fortune Jin, the legendary "the most jealous woman in the world" , the one who died tragically and was crushed by her family's fourth master.

Looking at her appearance, she is indeed a beauty. She is bright and charming, with only her chin raised slightly, and she loves to look down at people. It can be seen that she is a person who is so proud that she is almost arrogant.

As for the other person named Lin Jinyao who is particularly caring, it is Nian Gengyao's younger sister and Nalan Wanxiu's future sister-in-law, Nian Wanying.

It has to be said that Nian Wanying did have an excellent appearance, with a slender and delicate figure, delicate eyebrows and eyes, a clear face, misty eyes, and a slightly pale complexion, which makes people feel sorry for her and wishes to hold her in the palm of his hand However, the paradox is that there seems to be an indescribable charm in her temperament, pure but enchanting, extremely contradictory, but extraordinarily alluring.

Facing her, Lin Jinyao's mood became uncontrollably complicated, secretly cursing Jing Huan for being a disgusting old bustard, doing all kinds of disgusting things all day long.

"Sister Lin." Seeing that year, Wanying took the initiative to take Lin Jinyao's arm, and said with a coquettish smile, "Usually, I was always proud of my appearance, but now when I see Sister Lin, I don't know what it means to be a sinking fish and a wild goose." Yuexiuhua, looking all over the capital, I am afraid that there is no one who can compare with Sister Lin."

Ha ha!

Sure enough, it was a black lotus. As soon as we met, I couldn't wait to bring hatred to her. It seemed that he really regarded her as the number one enemy.

Just about to speak, Nalan Wanxiu laughed and said, "What a heartless girl, just now she was holding my arm and screaming sweetly at her elder sister, but now when the Lin family sister comes, you don't even look at me Now, even though I'm not as good-looking as Lin's younger sister, you don't have to treat me differently, do you? It's really heartbreaking."

"Forget it, you don't like to look at me, but I don't want to talk to you anymore, sisters, let's enjoy the flowers together, let them continue to enjoy the cold wind here." After finishing speaking, he led everyone back to the garden in.

Lin Jinyao couldn't help but look slightly cold when she saw the jealous, disdainful or repulsive eyes of those girls looking at the two sisters before they left.

The sister-in-law dug the hole, and the future sister-in-law helped to fill the hole. When the hatred came over, she didn't even have a chance to ease it. It would be impossible to just gag her and take everyone away.

What should I say?Are they really worthy of being a pair of good sisters-in-law?Before entering the door, she started helping my sister-in-law to bully others. She is really a good sister-in-law.

"Sister Lin?" Nian Wanying showed a clean and flawless smile, and said softly: "Sister Lin, and Sister Lin, let's go too, the plum blossoms at Sister Wanxiu's house are blooming beautifully, you will definitely like."

Lin Jinyao nodded noncommittally, and even though she and Lin Daiyu held her hands affectionately, talking and laughing, those who didn't know it really thought they were such good sisters.

"Sister Lin, it's time for you to participate in the draft after the next year, right?"

Lin Jinyao nodded, and Nian Wanying smiled and asked again: "Then sister Lin, has anyone thought about who she will marry?"

"The marriage of the beautiful girls of the Eight Banners is decided by the sage. No matter how bad the brand is, they should obey the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can a girl think wildly on her own." Lin Jinyao said nonsense in a serious manner.

Nian Wanying heard the words and said angrily: "Sister Lin is so boring. Is it true that Sister Lin has never fantasized about such a lifelong event? Or is it that Sister Lin is unwilling to talk to me? Well, since Sister Lin is not willing to be with me I said, let me tell you about my thoughts, I always hide in my heart, I feel so suffocated, today I hit it off with Sister Lin, I just hope that Sister Lin will never find me annoying."

As she said that, Nian Wanying couldn't help showing the tenderness of her little daughter, and said softly: "I've been looking forward to being with my fourth elder brother in the future, but I don't know if I can get what I want, and now I am getting closer and closer to the draft." Recently, my heart has become more and more restless..." Her mouth was shy and timid, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Jinyao's face.

When Lin Jinyao heard what she said, she felt uncontrollable anger welling up in her heart, but when she noticed her gaze, she suddenly felt a thump in her heart, she was trying to test her on purpose!

Thinking about it carefully, maybe she couldn't help paying too much attention to Nian Wanying when they first met, which aroused her suspicion?Just what did she suspect of her?

Lin Jinyao was also at a loss for a while, but she didn't have time to think about it. She just tried her best to suppress her emotions and stay calm. With the other hand, she quietly pinched Lin Daiyu, who was about to jump up and curse.

"Fourth elder brother? Could it be that you and fourth elder brother have some predestined relationship? When I went back to Yangzhou, I borrowed a boat from the imperial court, so I was lucky enough to meet fourth elder brother, but I felt that fourth elder brother was too cold and serious. I don't even dare to look him in the face, you actually like this?"

Nian Wanying blushed and said with a smile: "I only met the fourth elder brother once, but who would have thought... Now I just hope that God can hear my prayers and let me get what I want. But speaking of it However, there are not many women in this year's show who are suitable to be four Fujin, but Sister Lin is the most likely, if Sister Lin is really pointed at, maybe we can really become sisters in the future."

sisters?Who wants to be Lao Shizi's sister with you!

Lin Jinyao almost couldn't restrain her temper and slapped the black lotus to death.
