concubines are respected

Chapter 10

Although Suxian's remark is ostensibly praising the eldest lady, it is actually implying that only her aunt is disrespectful to the eldest lady in Lin Yinglu's heart.Lin Zhilan slightly frowned, and glanced coldly at Lin Yinglu, who was full of embarrassment, thinking that just now in front of the gate of Yulan Garden, the third aunt dared to call Lin Yinglu her daughter softly in front of the eldest lady, and her dissatisfaction with Lin Yinglu deepened in her heart a bit.

Lin Zhilan's face became more and more gloomy, and she said to herself: It seems that what the mother said is correct, the third aunt relied on the support of the old lady and gave birth to a male heir for her father, so she wanted to fight for the position of equal wife, if not for the mother's insistence , I am afraid that the third aunt has already successfully won the position of equal wife. In that case, Lin Yinglu will become the status of the first daughter, standing side by side with her. With her strong character, there is no room for her.

The more she thinks about Lin Zhilan, the more she dislikes Lin Yinglu, and she snorts in a heavy cold voice, "Hmph! Over the years, Mrs. Cheng has taught me so well, how can I not understand these simple rules. I think there are some people who are unwilling, Just ignore the rules!"

When the eldest sister made a fuss, Lin Yinglu felt a chill run up her back, and hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the sweat that oozed from her hair. Perhaps it was caused by sweat, and the black hair was even more shiny. At the same time, she said anxiously, " No no no, Eldest Sister misunderstood, how dare Yinglu disrespect her mother, it was just a momentary slip of the tongue just now, I hope Eldest Sister will not be offended."

Lin Ruxue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, saw that her third sister was in such a hurry. After all, she was a compatriot who grew up with a mother. After all, she couldn't help but stepped forward and said something nice for Lin Yinglu, "Eldest sister, today's mother's kindness let us sisters choose accessories, and we will wait until later." It's a happy thing to celebrate father's birthday by dressing up brightly for his father's birthday. Don't spoil your mood because of the third sister, let's forgive the mistake of the third sister. Later, the fourth sister will accompany the third sister. Go to Magnolia Garden in person to apologize to my mother, how do you think, Eldest Sister?"

Lin Ruxue has a gentle temperament and has always kept a low profile in the house, so even though she is also the daughter of the third aunt, her temperament is quite different from Lin Yinglu's. Although Lin Zhilan doesn't like her, she is not tired of her either.Seeing her soft words at this time, she went down the steps, no longer haggling with Lin Yinglu, "Forget it, Fourth Sister knows a little bit of propriety. Everyone chooses the accessories they like, so there is no further delay."

When she said these words, Lin Zhilan glanced at Suxian from the corner of her eye, and after Suxian and Lin Yinglu's dispute just now, Suxian kept praising the lady, although she dismissed the 'humble' Suxian in her heart, she also It's barely the default.

Feeling relieved, Lin Yinglu quickly gave Lin Zhilan a little blessing, and looked up at the table full of colorful beads, but she no longer had the good mood she had at first.

"Mother Hu, let me see if the cat's eye is set on the hairpin as a hair pin, or embedded in a pendant on the chest?" The cat's eye quickly restored Lin Zhilan's good mood, and smiled at Hu mother asked.

"Hehe, this old slave is clumsy and doesn't understand much. The old slave only knows that my young lady is born beautiful, whether she puts this opal in her hair or puts it on her chest, she looks just as good-looking." Mama Hu's chrysanthemum eyes opened slightly, Said with a smile on his face.

Lin Yinglu, who was picking hairpins at the side, was eager to please Lin Zhilan to ease the atmosphere, and quickly took out a sapphire blue dotted emerald beaded hairpin from the brocade box, salivating and saying to Lin Zhilan with a smile, "Elder sister, your skin is like jade fat, if you Wearing this sapphire blue dotted emerald bead hairpin on the top of the bun, it makes the skin more transparent and watery. Do you still like this bead hairpin, elder sister?"

Lin Zhilan had always been proud and arrogant, but now Lin Yinglu subdued and wanted to please her, but she just glanced at the pearl hairpin, showing no expression of liking or dislike on her face.

Suxian lightly picked up a lavender hairpin, casually inserted it into her hair, turned her head and smiled, and said softly, "The pearl hairpin is pretty good, but the pearl on the hairpin's head is a bit stingy, the eldest sister is tall and tall. , You need to wear bright things in your hair, so that you can show your ladylike demeanor."

Lin Zhilan originally had a slight liking for the finely crafted sapphire blue emerald bead hairpin, but she couldn't hold back her face and talked to Lin Yinglu. At this time, she was reminded by Suxian's kindness, and she really felt that the bead was indeed a bit small, " It's a little too small to be on the stage, but it's a pity for the excellent workmanship of Chai Zi."

"This..." Lin Yinglu looked at the pearl hairpin in her hand with some embarrassment, she stopped hesitating, and then cast her eyes on the lake blue opal in Lin Zhilan's hand, and she suddenly had a happy face, and she had an idea, "Elder sister, younger sister There is a way to get the best of both worlds. The elder sister is not sure where to embed the opal, why not ask a craftsman to take down the green bead and embed the opal in the head of the hairpin, it will be dazzling."

The color of the cat's eyes is lake blue, and the gemstone inlaid on the handle of the bead hairpin is royal blue. If it matches it, it really complements each other.Lin Zhilan obviously agreed with Lin Yinglu's suggestion, a smile finally appeared on her face, "This idea is not bad."

Seeing that Lin Zhilan's expression finally calmed down, Lin Yinglu's smile grew stronger, and she returned to her usual casualness. Coupled with her greed for the rare opal, she wanted to play with it a long time ago, so she took the opportunity to say, "Elder sister, Sister Bold, let me borrow your opal for the time being, and I am satisfied with the effect of matching it with this pearl hairpin."

Lin Zhilan spread out her palms, her round and clean cat's eyes were illuminated by the sun, glowing with Lan Ze's flamboyant brilliance.Originally, she was reluctant to hand Maoyan into Lin Yinglu's hands, but she saw a cautious smile on her face. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face when you stretch out your hand, not to mention the third sister who has shown her love to her several times in front of outsiders. However, if his attitude is too tough, he will appear a little ignorant.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhilan stretched out her hand and put the opal, which had warmed out of her hand, onto Lin Yinglu's flattened catkin.At the same time, Suxian's pretty lips were slightly raised, and a smile was fleeting.

The cat's eye was in her hands, the texture was smooth and moist, Lin Yinglu held it lightly for a little play, and just now she spread her palm, and with the other hand, she lightly leaned the sapphire blue dotted jade hairpin next to the cat's eye stone.After making a few gestures, the pearl hairpin was indeed much more eye-catching than before.Small sapphires are evenly embedded in the handle of the hairpin, countless light blue fine beads are twisted with gold wires at the head of the hairpin to form a slightly blooming bead flower, and the cat's eye just leans against the stamen. The luster of the cat's eye and the color of the sapphire complement each other, and immediately set off the exquisite beauty of the cat's eye.

Lin Zhilan smiled as charmingly as peach blossoms in March, while admiring, she turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you can take the cat's eye and pearl hairpin back later, let the craftsman make them properly, and send them to the house as soon as possible. Don't miss my father's birthday."

"Yes, yes, the little one will definitely be done properly, don't worry, Miss." The shopkeeper replied with a smile on his face.

"Sister, look quickly, this cat's eye is really magical, it can change into many colors under the sun." Lin Yinglu looked at the glittering cat's eye in her hand, and whispered enviously.

"That's nature. The so-called opal is naturally fickle like the eyes of a civet cat. That's the magic of it..." Lin Zhilan was in a happy mood. Picking up the opal, volleying in the sun to appreciate it.

Before she finished speaking, the cat's eyes between her fingers suddenly slipped away slipperily like a loach, "Ah!" After one step, there was only a crisp sound, and the opal fell heavily on the pebble ground. Fortunately, it was not broken, but rolled along the slightly inclined road to the side of the lake.

Everyone was startled, their eyes followed the rolling opal, and Suxian shouted anxiously, "Be careful, it will be bad if it rolls into the lake!"

Lin Yinglu was the closest, and in desperation she strode towards the cat's eye stone. It was about to roll into the lake, but it was too late to pick it up. , unexpectedly slowed a little, but stepped on the opal abruptly.

Although the cat's eye is hard, the cobblestone road is unbearably rough. The two collided strongly, and only heard a slight prickling sound. , looking at the innocent lake-blue opal being squeezed into the crevices of the pebbles with an earthy face.

Ling Zhilan, who was following closely, stepped forward and took a look. The opal, which was so dazzling just now, has been rubbed hard by the pebbles, showing roughness. The originally smooth and delicate surface of the cat's eye has been scratched deeply. scratches.

Immediately, Lin Zhilan's pretty face, which was still pale just now, instantly turned red like a boiled shrimp. Because she was too annoyed, she raised her finger and pointed at Lin Yinglu in a daze for a while, but she couldn't say a word, only the ruthlessness in her eyes When the light suddenly appeared, I wished I could peel her skin alive to relieve my hatred.

Although it is not yet winter and the autumn sun is shrouded in the sky, Lin Yinglu was shivering from the ice blade thrown out of her eyes, and explained in a broken voice, "Sister, calm down, I can't blame me for this matter. I was just in a hurry It wasn't intentional." Whispering, seeing the unabated hatred in Lin Zhilan's eyes, Lin Yinglu said with a guilty conscience, "It was all good at first, but Elder Sister thinks she was careless, and she didn't hold the cat's eye firmly, so she fell down. ..." Since she couldn't ask for the other party's forgiveness, Lin Yinglu simply shied away.

Suxian, who was following in the crowd, raised her hand to cover her lips pretending to be shocked, but a faint smile flashed in her eyes, she turned her head and glanced at Cui Ya beside her, their eyes met, and the corners of Cui Ya's lips also slightly Picking, apparently suppressing a smile on purpose.

"You damaged my opal, and now it's my fault!" Ling Zhilan raised her voice and scolded angrily, "I'm going to return to my mother and deduct your monthly payment until I've paid enough. The silver of the opal is!"

While Lin Zhilan was scolding furiously, Liu Qing, the maid next to her, picked up the scarred opal and said in a different voice, "Miss, that's not right, why is this opal greasy, as if it has been smeared with oil?" , no wonder it's so slippery."

"What?!" Lin Zhilan heard the words, a cold light flashed in her eyes, Fu Er saw that her fingertips were also glowing with oil, and she felt suspicious at the moment, strode forward and pulled Lin Yinglu's palm to examine carefully, Sure enough, Lin Yinglu's palms were full of luster.Lin Zhilan suddenly realized, raised her hand and slapped her tender face hard without hesitation, "Bitch, I just scolded you a few words just now, but I didn't expect you to hold a grudge. I also said, why are you so kind?" , choose accessories for me, but I don’t want it to be a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, I have no good intentions!”

The crisp sound of the beating echoed over the garden, and the bright red fingerprints on Lin Yinglu's face suddenly appeared, and the corners of her ruddy lips also leaked dark red blood. . .
