The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 257 Jealousy
Qin Yajun spoke harshly, but his face was full of envy.

In her heart, Lin Zisu is just an ordinary woman in this era, with some knowledge and greed for wealth.

It is such a woman, but it seems that she has been favored. Not only did she marry Xie Xi as she wished, but she also got the favor of the emperor, and she often went in and out of the palace freely.

If it weren't for Qin Yajun knowing the development trajectory of future generations, he would have believed Zheng Mochen's saying of "born with a phoenix".

Looking at the girl in front of her, the upper body was woven with golden threads in a light pink beige, and the lower body was dotted with layers of begonia flowers on the frost-colored dress, reflecting the girl's lively and delicate face.

Qin Yajun had met Lin Zisu so many times before, but he always thought that Lin Zisu's appearance was fair.

I just discovered today that Lin Zisu seems to be considered a beauty when she dresses up. No wonder that King Dun is so fascinated.

It is said that in order to protect Lin Zisu, she even handed over the badge of the Imperial Army.

Qin Yajun involuntarily compared himself with Lin Zisu, feeling uneasy.

The Qin family is the richest businessman in Shannan, and Qin Yajun can be considered at ease on weekdays.But once she appeared in front of dignitaries, she seemed to be a little shorter.

Just like this Zhongqiu Poetry Fair, under the operation of the Third Prince Xie Hui, she got an invitation early on.

But Xie Hui solemnly confessed that the Zhongqiu Poetry Meeting is no small matter, and it is related to the future fate of the two of them.

In order to avoid side effects, she will only be able to appear in civilian clothes at that time, and she will not be able to wear pearls and gold ornaments on her head.

Qin Yajun also knew in her heart that there are too many rules in this era, such as scholars, farmers, businessmen, and business, and there are distinct levels, which cannot be changed by her own efforts.

The only thing she can do right now is to make a big splash at the Zhongqiu Poetry Meeting and attract the attention of the emperor and Xie Yao.

She also understands that in this era, talent alone is not enough, and efforts must be made on the outside.

So she found a piece of fine cotton cloth, and came to Huanpei Tower to find an excellent master, and tried to make it more attractive in style.

She had already resigned herself to her fate, but when she saw Lin Zisu in a fine attire, a fire burned in her heart.

Why do I know everything about the ancient and the present, but I am always inferior to others?
And this Lin Zisu is so stupid, but can easily get everything she wants?
"Big sister, are you going to attend the Zhongqiu Poetry Fair too?"

Qin Yajun smiled maliciously, then hid the smile on his face, and said: "The craftsmanship in Huanpei Building is really excellent, and my sister's clothes are really beautiful."

Lin Zisu saw the unkindness on Qin Yajun's face, and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't think too much. I don't have the talent of my cousin, so I am determined not to go to the poetry meeting to make a fool of myself. But my cousin is right, this dress is made of Yunxia." The one made of brocade was rewarded by the empress, I heard that the whole country does not produce a few horses a year!"

Hearing these words, Qin Yajun gritted his teeth angrily. He only hated Xie Hui and Fang Qingge for being too stupid. When the emperor fell ill, it was an excellent opportunity to plot against the Lin family, but they missed it for nothing.

She didn't know that Lin Zisu was showing off on purpose, but she had nothing to do with him, so she pursed her lips and said, "It seems that my sister has got a good marriage. However, I heard that His Royal Highness King Dun has always been flirtatious, so my sister really doesn't like it." Worried that the beauty will be broken before it is old, and the new generation will replace the old one?"

Lin Zisu opened her eyes wide, and said innocently: "Sister, I was joking. His Highness King Dun is a dedicated person. He even said a few days ago that he wants to grow old with me forever!"

Qin Yajun sneered secretly in his heart, and said again: "There is a way that people's hearts are fickle, and my sister should be optimistic about your wishful husband."

Mrs. Bi was looking at shoes and jewelry next door, and just picked out a few styles she liked, when she heard Lin Zisu's voice, she called from the room: "Elder sister, come and see, which of these shoes looks better?" ?”

Lin Zisu smiled sweetly at Qin Yajun, said goodbye, and went into the next room, leaving Qin Yajun where he was.

Qin Yajun's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he stared at Lin Zisu's back in a trance.

Xie Xi will end up dying sooner or later, since this Lin Zisu has fallen in love with Xie Xi, it won't be any better in the future.

Let her be proud for a few years!
Lin Zisu didn't care too much about Qin Yajun, she had already learned from Xie Xi that Qin Yajun was recommended by Xie Hui, and that he would go to the Zhongqiu Poetry Fair to show off his talents.

In the past few months, Qin Yajun's management in the capital has earned him quite a reputation.Even the emperor in the deep palace has heard people mention Qin Yajun's name.

Hearing that it was recommended by Xie Hui, the emperor immediately granted his request.

From Lin Zisu's point of view, it seems that the emperor deliberately matched Xie Hui and Qin Yajun.

After trying on the clothes, Lin Zisu accompanied her mother to visit several ready-to-wear shops. While talking, the feeling of autumn gradually deepened, and it was time to prepare autumn clothes for the servants.

Most of the aristocratic families in central Beijing have a special sewing room. For example, the clothes of the servants who change seasons are bought first and then made by the sewing room.

The Lin family didn't have such a habit, so they could only buy ready-made clothes in tailor shops.

The advantage of this is that it saves a lot of expenses for raising servants, but the disadvantage is that the materials of ready-made clothing shops are often extruded materials in previous years, and there is no style at all. For some exquisite families, servants wear such clothes It's really embarrassing to take clothes out.

But Mrs. Bi never cared about these things. The mother and daughter entered a few shops, ordered the clothes, and waited for the shops to be delivered to her house.

As Zhongqiu was getting closer, the number of people in the capital gradually increased. Some merchants who were away all the year round, no matter how far the journey was, would always take advantage of Zhongqiu to go home.

Crowds come and go, always remembering the day of returning home.

Counting it, it is only a few days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even the moon in the night sky has slowly changed from a crescent to an oval goose egg.

The night wind is mixed with the warmth of the day and a hint of the coolness of autumn, filling the yard with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Such a moonlit night is undoubtedly extremely comfortable.

Lin Zisu changed into a simple dress and sat on a deck chair under the eaves, staring at the starry sky in a daze.

Under the reflection of the moon, other stars are eclipsed, and the moonlight is like water, pouring down, sprinkled on the golden osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

"Susu, are you missing me?"

The treetops in the courtyard shook a few times, the clothes rattled, and a black shadow jumped down from the tree.

When Lin Zisu spoke again, she also had a hint of surprise, and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, when did you arrive in the capital?"

"Of course I just came to Beijing, so I'm afraid you'll be worried, so I'll come over to see you first."

Xie Xi said, and approached Lin Zisu.Only now did Lin Zisu see clearly, Xie Xi's clothes were neat and her hair was neatly combed, not messy, and she looked normal.

Xie Xi said proudly: "When I entered the city, I specially tidied up my appearance. You can't tell that I just returned to Beijing, can you?"
