Chapter 35: Asking yourself several times after meeting the eldest sister
Early the next morning, Lin Zhixiu, who went to say hello to the old lady, was stopped at the door of the old lady's courtyard: "Third Miss, the old lady didn't sleep well yesterday, so I won't send you greetings to all the ladies today."
Lin Zhixiu said worriedly, "Is it okay, grandma? Do I need to call a doctor? Do I need sleeping medication?"
Aunt Li smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, Miss Three, everything is fine."
Yao felt relieved and thought a little guiltily that this third girl had become his shield! The old lady had not caused any trouble for him since she came back! So he smiled at Lin Zhixiu and went back to his room.
Fang Qunqun stood there, feeling very disappointed. Today is not the day to send things...
There was no sign of Mrs. Yuan, but the servants I met on the road were in a hurry and had serious expressions.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhixiu leaned against the imperial concubine and watched Nan Yan and Nanny Song unpacking several expensive packages. Inside were her mother's favorite gold-painted red plum vase, pastel flat peach plate, and azure
Jun kiln tea sets, large red lacquer boxes inlaid with mother-of-pearl for daily snacks, silver inlaid conch and coral rings. There are also several pieces of bronze and black pottery.
Each piece was taken out carefully and arranged properly. This is a good thing that is hard to find even if it is broken.
Suddenly, the little girl in front of the old lady came and bowed politely when she entered.
"Miss Third, our eldest lady is back. The old lady asked you to come over." She said crisply.
Oh? Lin Zhifang is back? Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Okay, I'll go."
Dongyun gave the little girl a reward, and she left happily.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Let's go." He stood up without changing his clothes. This time, he was followed by Xi Yu. Xi Yu said, "Miss, this big girl has a really good reputation in the family. She is good to everyone."
She is very good, and she is very kind to the servants. She also has a good marriage, and her fiancé’s family is very good in the capital. She also said that the eldest lady is very capable. Miss Zhixuan, the second wife of the Lin family, is mean and powerful.
She is sensible and often gets into trouble. Only the eldest lady can control her!"
Lin Zhixiu secretly laughed, could he suppress her? It was just a use! That greedy, reckless and shameless Lin Zhixuan was Lin Zhifang's foil, used to highlight the virtuous and tolerant nature of her eldest daughter!
In the last life, Lin Zhifang married well. After getting married, she would always invite the Lin family's younger sister and some good friends to play at home for various purposes.
I, the least popular person in the Lin family, have been there several times!
As for Lin Zhixuan, the time she had an accident was her first time there. If she hadn't been used to deal with herself, she probably wouldn't have invited her that time... Haha.
When we arrived at the old lady's yard, it was quiet. There was a pretty girl standing at the door. When she saw Lin Zhixiu coming in, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at her. There was some surprise in her eyes, but she smiled and saluted politely.
Didn't speak.
Lin Zhixiu was standing at the door when she heard a gentle female voice, talking to the old lady.
The girl opened the curtain, and Lin Zhixiu stepped in, with her arms slightly bent, her left hand holding the cuff of her right hand, and she stood quietly at the door.
The woman sitting next to the old lady had a very gentle and sweet voice, "Who would have thought that I didn't get the job in the end. Fortunately, Mr. Chen helped me, and I finally made up for it, but it is still harder to stay outside for three years. But.
It might be better to come back again. But Aunt Wen has to take care of the elderly and children at home, so I'm afraid she won't be able to go with her for a while."
The old lady listened and nodded.
The eldest daughter, she is the future wife of the house. What she is talking about is not just jewelry and clothes...
The voice was soft and measured. He was sitting there calmly. At first glance, he looked different from Lin Zhirong.
The girl took advantage of the break in talking and said quickly, "Old lady, the third girl is here."
Lin Zhifang turned around and stood up without looking carefully, smiling and saying, "Grandma, is this the third sister?"
Old Mrs. Lin must not have slept well yesterday. During lunch, she drank two glasses of osmanthus wine and she felt better. Lin Zhifang is her most important granddaughter. Seeing her, she felt much better. Listening to her questions
, glanced at Lin Zhixiu, and said in a calm voice, "Yes. Third girl, this is your eldest sister."
Lin Zhixiu took two steps forward and saluted, "Grandma, big sister."
"Third sister." Lin Zhifang's neck was straight, with a smile on her face, gentle and polite. She stood there and returned the gift seriously, then raised her eyes and looked at Lin Zhixiu carefully. She was a little surprised, and looked up and down carefully.
Then, with his mouth slightly open, he said "Ah!" and turned to his grandmother and smiled, "Grandma, the third sister is really pretty."
When the old lady saw Lin Zhixiu just standing there with a faint smile, she couldn't help but snorted. Now she said honestly, "Humph! The rules are very bad."
After hearing this, Lin Zhifang smiled angrily, "Grandma!" She walked over lightly, stretched out her hand to hold Lin Zhixiu's hand, and got very close. Lin Zhixiu smelled a pleasant fragrance on her body.
"Come on, third sister." Lin Zhifang took Lin Zhixiu's slender hand and sat down together.
Lin Zhifang looked at Lin Zhixiu carefully, not missing her hair, hands, clothes, and jewelry. At the same time, she said to the old lady with an obvious expression of appreciation, "Grandma, the third sister has been away from home for a long time, and she is from the capital."
It's just that our habits are different. Just invite Aunt Xu over later and give her some advice. By then, our Lin family will have a dazzling pearl among the ladies of the capital." She also helped Lin Zhixiu to straighten things out.
Zhengyu lock.
The old lady listened to these words, and she couldn't help but look at Lin Zhixiu carefully... She could tell at a glance that this girl came as soon as she heard the message and didn't dress up deliberately. But just like that, she was also a girl without any
The flawless daughter of a boudoir! This damn girl is so changeable! Hmph! However, I don’t know, the Lin family will be of great use.
Then make some plans? This will save the old man from making irresponsible remarks to me... Thinking of this, she also had a smile on her face.
Lin Zhixiu remained silent, only smiled and looked at this eldest sister.
How could such a gentle and friendly big sister hate me?
As for Lin Zhifang's appearance, if you look at her facial features separately, they are pretty good, especially the good eyes that the Lin family has. But, I don't know how, but when put together, they become indescribably mediocre.
If it weren't for her upright figure, gentle and kind temperament, pleasant voice, generous words, and impeccable manners, which made her extremely charming, it would be impossible to see her even if she walked into the crowd!
Her style was undoubtedly outstanding, and it won her a good marriage. At that time, although I was good-looking, my demeanor was far different from hers. It didn't affect her at all, so how could I let her be so cruel to me?
?
Lin Zhixiu watched Lin Zhifang's mouth open and close, but did not pay attention to what she was saying. Just as she looked at herself, she also looked at her carefully.
She doesn't have much hair, but her forehead is carefully styled with flowing hair. It's also neatly combed, and she wears a few purple enamel hairpins with small pearls.
She is wearing a purple wide-sleeved skirt, beige bottoming, and purple embroidered shoes. There is a light and elegant fragrance all over her body... Every detail is handled appropriately without any flaws.
Lin Zhifang said, "Grandma, looking at my sister's stature, I'm afraid she is taller than my eldest sister."
Her voice is not sharp or deep, but soft and gentle, making people feel good for no reason.
"Well, her father is also the tallest in your father's generation." The old lady thought of her second son depressedly.
Lin Zhifang said softly, "Third sister, you have been working with your second uncle since you were a child, so you may not be familiar with the capital. Now that you are back, you should rest and adapt first. In a few days, it will be your grandfather's birthday, and sisters from relatives and friends will also come."
When the time comes, my sister will introduce you to some good sisters. Once you get to know each other, we can play together in the future! If you don’t understand anything on weekdays, you can ask your sister. If you have any customary tastes in food and drinks, just tell my mother.
The strangeness is only temporary, we are blood relatives, this is your home, don’t let anyone see you outside."
Lin Zhixiu thought about it and just nodded, "Thank you, sister."
Lin Zhifang smiled, "If you have nothing to do, go talk to sister. I have all the new clothes at my sister's place. Choose what you like and ask the tailor to make it...Sister has just come back. After a while, she will find some good things to send to you."
.”
"Well, my sister also brought gifts for the sisters from the south, and gave them all to grandma."
Lin Zhifang smiled sincerely and said, "Third sister, you are so considerate. Grandma, when my sister comes back, your place will be lively. Third sister, grandma has not taken care of the housework much in these years. She has a lot of free time, so she likes us juniors to talk with her."
!You haven’t been with your grandma for many years. When you come back, spend more time with her. Our grandma has a lot of experience, and those experiences are enough for us to benefit from. "
After a few words, the old lady felt relaxed and looked at her lovingly: This is the eldest granddaughter of my Lin family!
Lin Zhixiu looked at Lin Zhifang seriously, longer than she looked at herself.
Such a polite, gentle and considerate eldest daughter of the Lin family... What did I do in my previous life to make her hate me like that? After her parents passed away, she was isolated and mentally abused by Aunt Huang. When she returned to the Lin family, she was bullied and punished, and her life was like a year.
.
The eldest sister in front of her was always kind to her and spoke slowly and softly. She was bullied by Lin Zhirong and Lin Zhixuan. As long as Lin Zhifang saw it, she would definitely defend her. If her grandmother wanted to punish herself, she would also intercede on her behalf.
Yuan's family withheld her mother's dowry property, but Lin Zhifang had no hands on it.
And if you need something fresh or something to eat outside, if it belongs to someone else, it must also belong to her. Lin Zhifang is married and invites her natal sisters to play. If there is no post from Lin Zhixuan, she will definitely be invited to go.
I am having a difficult time in the Lin family, so I can only be grateful to my eldest sister and never offend her.
So later on, she was cheated at her husband's house. Not to mention, the eldest sister even instigated Li Cheng in front of her afterwards, slandering her for being in love with Wang Tianci! I have never figured it out, what was the reason?
In two months, Lin Zhifang will get married.
Her husband-in-law is Shen Jing, the grandson of Duke Xuan. Shen Jing was born decently, smart and motivated. After marriage, he respected and considerate Lin Zhifang, and there were no messy people around him. She became pregnant within a few months of entering the house and gave birth to a daughter. A few years later,
It wasn't until she died that she gave birth to another son. Her mother-in-law didn't push her, and her husband wasn't in a hurry. After entering the house, her mother-in-law took her to take care of the housework. Even her arrogant sister-in-law Shen Chang gave her a bit of a thumbs-down.
Her dowry is rich.
The Duke of Xuan's palace was rich in property and the emperor valued her. His wife often went to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother... They were one of the rare decent families in the capital who were consistent in appearance and appearance.
No matter from every aspect, Lin Zhifang has a smooth and contented life.
But why does she hate herself?
She didn't hesitate to use such despicable means, she didn't hesitate to affect the reputation of her proud Mrs. Shisun, and she didn't hesitate to let her natal sisters be discussed.
What good will it do to her if she destroys me?
She looked at Lin Zhifang absentmindedly.
Lin Zhifang talked for a long time, but when Lin Zhixiu didn't respond, but looked at herself deeply, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Third sister?" she called softly.
Lin Zhixiu suddenly came back to her senses and suddenly smiled, showing a little of her white teeth.
Lin Zhifang was dazzled... She just thought, why is the third sister so beautiful?!
