Chapter 13
"The son of huailing has arrived."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the room were shocked, and the girls were in a low commotion.
At this time, the etiquette is strict. Brothers and sisters have different seats at the age of seven. Girls can't go out several times a year. On weekdays, there are only a few men, and there are fewer and fewer foreign men of school age. It's human nature for young people to admire Shaoai, and young girls are no exception.
Lin Xiyuan entered the house with a smile. He looked ahead all the way. He didn't look around. There were so many girls sitting around. He didn't look up impolitely. Lin Xining went to the old lady of Chu and gave her younger generation a standard and leisurely ceremony: "I've seen the old lady of Chu. The old lady of Chu is in good health."
The old lady of Chu was always serious, but when she saw Lin Xiyuan, she couldn't help smiling comfortingly: "it's the son of God. How can the son of God think of our Changxing Marquis house? The hospitality is not good. Please forgive me."
Lin Xiyuan said with a smile, "what are you talking about, old lady? The Marquis of Changxing is the home of Zhong Ming and Ding Shi. Along the way, the rules of your house are well regulated, which has taught me a lot. How can you call the reception poor?"
The old lady of Chu was said to laugh. She seldom had such a happy time. The deep eight character lines on her mouth laughed: "just like the son of the world."
After greeting the old lady of Chu, Lin Xiyuan saluted like Chu Zhu: "second aunt." after that, he smiled and nodded to Lin Xining and others: "second brother, big sister, second sister."
Chu Zhu returned to her mother's house and naturally brought her children and concubines. Lin Xiyuan is the eldest son of the royal palace. His second brother is Lin Xining, his eldest sister is Lin Baoying, Chu Zhu's concubine, and his second sister is Lin Baohuan.
Compared with the Changxing Marquis, there are too many descendants in the huailing palace. The prince and Princess of the county have only one son and one daughter, both of whom are legitimate, that is, the son of God and the county leader Lin Baozhu. The second master of the palace is Chu Zhu's husband-in-law, and there is only one son, Lin Xining, a commoner and two daughters.
Lin Baohuan is the charming daughter of the Royal Palace and the only legitimate daughter of her aunt. Since she came to Changxing Hou's house, many stars have supported the moon. But now in front of Lin Xiyuan, Lin Baohuan didn't dare to be a little arrogant, so he quickly bowed his head and saluted: "big brother."
Lin Xiyuan is their eldest brother and the son of the royal palace. Even though he seems to have a mild temper, Lin Baohuan knows that their eldest brother is far more than that.
The girls of the Chu family saw that Lin Baohuan, who always had eyes on his head, was as good as a rabbit in front of Lin Xiyuan. They became more and more upset about Lin Xiyuan. Mr. Pianpian has a distinguished family background, beautiful appearance and always smiles. Which girl doesn't like this kind of good childe in the turbid world?
Lin Xiyuan stands in rongning hall, which is the focus of attention. The girls are secretly looking at Lin Xiyuan. They thought that their cousin Lin Xining was outstanding yesterday, but now they have seen the son of God, Lin Xining has become flat. To put it bluntly, like their brothers, Lin Xining's actions are noble under the guidance of his family, but they are not much different from his peers, because everyone is like this. But Lin Xiyuan is obviously different.
Lin Xiyuan was wearing a lot of eyes, but his smile did not change. There was no stiffness on his face. It seemed that he was used to being noticed. He talked and laughed with the old lady of Chu, Chu Zhu and other elders in a calm manner. He was modest and elegant. Anyone who saw him had to praise him, and the younger generation was awesome.
Chu Jinmiao looked at it secretly for a while and took back his sight, but the hand on his side was more and more tight. This is the difference between the prince's residence and the Hou's residence. If you educate your heirs, the second childe will not have the light of Lin Xiyuan. As long as she goes to the prince's residence, she will have the opportunity to contact people like the county Lord and the prince. In the future, by taking the opportunity of the county Lord, she can often meet the prince and maybe the crown prince! It's much more promising to stay in Changxing Hou's house!
Chu Jinmiao thinks so. Other girls are not fools. Daring to continue to secretly aim at Lin Xiyuan, who has a gully in his heart, has lowered his eyes and bowed his head. I don't know what he's thinking.
Their standing posture did not change, but the distance between the sisters suddenly alienated.
The old lady of Chu asked the old prince of the palace carefully about his body. After Lin Xiyuan finished, the old lady of Chu said with a smile: "It's really hard for the son of God to come here today. Since he has come all the way, he might as well stay a few more days. Our two houses are in laws. It's a very close relationship. Your aunt and Ning Ge'er are all here. You can take this place as your own home and live at ease. These are your cousins. There's no need to divide them."
After the old lady Chu said, Lin Xiyuan turned around and bowed to the girls: "Hello, cousins."
Although he turned around, he looked at the ground with empty eyes and didn't look at the girl's face. The old lady was more and more satisfied when she saw it, and even Zhao and others were smiling.
This is really a good man. He has a good family background, good talents and good conduct. He really has no choice.
When the prince spoke to them, the girls lowered their heads slightly and squatted down to salute the Prince: "Hello, cousin."
In fact, the sound of cousins and cousins was far fetched. But the old lady said so. They knew what the elders meant, so they half pushed and half obeyed. Chu Jinyao mingled with the sisters, lowered her head, tried to reduce her sense of existence, and greeted Lin Xiyuan like a fly.
There are seven or eight girls in three rooms. These girls usually have different temperaments, some jump off and some don't like to talk, but at the moment, they are all gentle and delicate, and the salute also shows the peak of etiquette class. If mother Hua is here, I don't know how much emotion to feel.
Yan's shrewd, sharp mouth is also the most talkative. When she saw Lin Xiyuan, she felt that the big fish could not be let go. Seeing the current situation, she took the opportunity to come forward and said with a hearty smile: "it's all a family. There's no need to be so polite between cousins. It seems that the son of the world is coming for the first time, and people don't recognize it completely?"
Lin Xiyuan's eyes flashed and said with a smile, "yes. Please introduce my cousins to me."
As early as when Yan spoke, old lady Chu felt inappropriate. Before she could stop it, she heard Lin Xiyuan laughing. The old lady of Chu was surprised. She and mammy Gu looked at each other and sat back, intending to watch the change.
As soon as Yan saw that Lin Xiyuan should go down, he became more and more happy and enthusiastically introduced all the girls. During the introduction, she made a little effort in words to focus on the girls in the second room, while those in other rooms just took one sentence.
After hearing this, Zhao was so angry that his liver hurt, but he had a bad attack in front of outsiders. When Yan pointed to Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao, he played a trick and said, "these two are the four and five girls in our family. The son of the world should be very familiar with the five girls. She just picked them up from the outside."
This is Yan's cunning. She introduced Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao at the same time, but Chu Jinmiao skipped it and emphasized that the five girls had just been picked up from the outside.
What kind of girl just got back from the outside? No one will think of the reason of being held wrong. The default in everyone's heart is the daughter of the outer room.
She is clearly a legitimate daughter, but Yan hinted that she is an alien roommate, but can you say what Yan said is wrong? No. Chu Jinyao admired it. Speaking in the back house was really a skill.
But Chu Jinyao didn't mean to correct it. She didn't have any idea about the son. It was a shame during the day. She wanted the son not to look at her at all.
Lin Xiyuan said to Chu Jinyao with a smile, "Hello, fifth cousin."
With that, his smiling eyes looked straight at Chu Jinyao.
Chu Jinyao hung her eyes and didn't look at Lin Xiyuan. The others saw that although they secretly hated Chu Jinyao for getting Lin Xiyuan's personal Hello, they turned their eyes when they saw Chu Jinyao's performance.
The old lady of Chu also thought that Chu Jinyao had rules. Although she came from a poor family, she didn't take the opportunity to play with it. The rules were better than the young lady who grew up in the house. The old lady of Chu was so satisfied that she changed a lot about her granddaughter who came out of thin air.
Outsiders think Chu Jinyao is polite. In fact, the real reason why Chu Jinyao doesn't dare to look up can scare them to death. Chu Jinyao kept complaining. She was afraid of being recognized. In the afternoon, she made a special excuse to go back and change her clothes. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyuan came with the old lady and said hello one by one. Chu Jinyao was very sad. She changed her clothes. Why was she recognized?
Lin Xiyuan's arrival seemed like a stone, thrown into the ladies' quiet boudoir life like a lake. On the surface, the lake seems as calm as before, but there is a turbulent undercurrent under it.
This time, the ladies intuitively realized what it meant to be selected as a companion.
Chu Jinyao returned to the Chaoyun courtyard that day. When she went to bed, she sat on the small collapse in the West and complained to Qin Yi: "do you think I should choose this companion?"
Qin Yi thought about what kind of life he lived with his accompanying readers. He really couldn't say that accompanying readers was a good job without conscience. He said, "accompanying readers looks bright, but secretly, it's inevitable to carry a black pot for the prince and princess."
Chu Jinyao nodded: "Yes, I think so, too. But it's not easy to have Mammy to teach me. I was already short of others. Now if I don't grasp such a good opportunity, I deserve to be laughed at by the four girls. Therefore, I think I'll study hard in class in the daytime. When I finally go to the princess's residence to see the princess, I deliberately dress poorly and lose the election."
Qin Yi agreed. He found that Chu Jinyao's state of mind was surprisingly good, progressive, but free and easy. Qin Yi asked, "although huailing is not up or down, it's a prefecture after all. Don't you move at all?"
"It's exciting. But it also depends on whether it's mine." Chu Jinyao smiled, raised his jade pendant and said, "do you think I'll say I'm not excited?"
"That's right." Qin Yi wanted to keep his face taut, but he couldn't help laughing at last, "you dead heart."
"Who doesn't want to live a better life? If I have a chance to live a better life, I will fight for it. But I'm so ugly in front of the son of God. I don't have a chance. It's better to calm down and learn something from Mammy. This is the serious thing."
Qin Yi didn't speak. The common problem of men was that he didn't like people who tried their best to climb up. He always felt that a quiet and indifferent woman was good. But now, hearing Chu Jinyao say so, he felt very real and lovely.
The women in the harem who say they don't fight, actually don't fight, but it's the biggest fight.
"You should go to bed," Qin Yi said. "I'm afraid there will be trouble tomorrow."
Chu Jinyao sighed after hearing this: "it turns out that these girls hide their words in their words. They can't do it if they have a plan. Now they want to compete for the position of accompaniment. They don't know what they can bite. You say, what if I'm hurt by mistake?"
"Don't worry."
"Hmm? You mean you'll help me avoid it?"
"No." Qin Yi told the truth calmly and coldly, "I mean, you will be hurt by mistake. How can you beat the others? You have to eat more losses to learn such a thing as intrigue. Anyway, you have a solid skin and nothing. Don't worry. You should go and remember it for a long time."
"You're so annoying." Chu Jinyao slammed the jade pendant onto the floor, took a fruit tray from the nearby table with bare feet, and snapped it back on the jade pendant's head. "Then I'll give you a long memory. You can sleep like this at night."
Qin Yi smiled low. Chu Jinyao dared to laugh when she heard the goods. She became more and more angry. She had planned to scare him. Now she was really angry. She really didn't go to Guan Yupei. She went to bed by herself, put down the curtain and went to bed.
After the candle lights went out, only the moonlight scattered on the floor alone through the window lattice, clear and quiet. In the moonlight, a figure slowly came out of the jade pendant. He was very tall, straight shoulders, thin waist and thin body, but his back was very straight and bony. He wore a suit of indigo blue narrow sleeved clothes, and a four clawed Python was embroidered with gold thread at the cuffs.
Qin Yi's soul is getting stronger and stronger these days. Gradually, he can break away from the jade pendant and walk outside alone, but now he still can't hold the real object. The moonlight shone on Qin Yi and even projected through him to the ground. His face was almost as clear and white as the moonlight, his eyes were sharp and bright, and the corners of his eyes flew up slightly, looking delicate and heroic.
Qin Yi came out and walked around at night in recent days to see if he could find any clues from the Chu house. He plans to go to the yard in the daytime. He has a fever before he can count on Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi was going to avoid his eyes and ears. Before he left, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the shelf bed.
Chu Jinyao fell asleep. She turned over in her sleep and stretched half her shoulders and arms out of the quilt.
February is chilly in spring, and the night is quite cool. If she sleeps like this, her shoulder will hurt when she gets up tomorrow.
Qin Yi turned back, pulled up the brocade quilt and covered Chu Jinyao.
Qin Yi suddenly found that he could touch real things.
This is really good news.
