Chapter 125
“What a magnificent garden!”
Mrs. Zheng took Lin Yunwan and Lin Yunjiao to Prince Huan's Mansion. Along the way, they entered the garden of the Prince's Mansion. After passing the screen wall, verandah, and circular arch, they heard an opera troupe singing in the garden from a distance.
Lin Yunjiao had never seen a place like this before. Every step of the way was a scene, no matter how exquisite it was.
Apart from the palace, who else in Jiang Qian dares to create such a house!
She continued to exclaim: "It's the Qujiaban singing "Resurrection"!"
This is her favorite excerpt, and she never tires of listening to it.
But when it comes to which folk art group sings the best, it has to be the Qu Jia Class!
She pulled Zheng's sleeve and whispered coquettishly: "Mom, at the end of last year, I didn't even invite the Qu family class to my uncle's house!"
She had been thinking about the whole New Year, but she didn't expect to hear it in the palace. It was really a surprise.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at her, shook her hand, and whispered: "Your eldest aunt, third aunt, and several sisters are all here, so don't make any noise."
The other two rooms in the Lin Mansion also came together.
However, there are several other branches of Jiang Qian's Lin clan, and they are not considered a family with the Lin family, so they did not come together.
Lin Yunjiao stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Aren't I happy?"
That's why I lost my temper a little.
Zheng said to her: "The happier you are, the more you have to pay attention to your identity!"
She said: "The royal family does not choose concubines based on family background, but looks and conduct. It cannot be the same outside as at home."
Lin Yunjiao blushed and said, "I know."
He immediately calmed down a lot and stopped looking around, but his peripheral vision was still scanning the courtyard of Prince Huan's Mansion.
"Mom, the palace is like this, so what does the palace look like..."
She really wanted to see it.
Mrs. Zheng was also a little unexplainably excited: "Who knows!" She said, "It's a pity that your father almost won the imperial examination. Otherwise, if he had gone to the palace examination, we would have heard about it."
Lin Yunjiao pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered: "If the father can't see him, the daughter may not be able to see him! When I see him, I will definitely tell my mother."
She was so coaxed that Zheng's eyes narrowed into slits.
Behind the mother and daughter stood several servants of the Lin Mansion.
Xiruo followed the servants, watching them whispering, and said to Lin Yunwan: "...I don't know what the madam and the second lady are talking about."
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly: "You can guess it."
Not only Zheng and Lin Yunjiao, but also the Jiang Qianwang family and officials' families that they met when they entered the house, which one is not like this? It's just the difference between hiding it well and hiding it poorly.
Xiruo also understands.
The prince is really a sweet potato!
Before arriving at the flower hall, a high stage was set up in the garden. It was carefully decorated in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The place where the female family members sat was not exposed to the wind, and tables and chairs were placed in order.
The maid who led the way lowered her head and said very respectfully: "This is the place to listen to the opera. Grandma Wang and my uncle's wife are in the flower hall."
Lin Yunjiao didn't understand the affairs of the palace, so she asked Mrs. Zheng: "Mom, who is Grandma Wang? Who is my uncle and wife?"
Mrs. Zheng doesn’t understand either, but she can guess.
"The prince is not married yet, so the affairs in the inner house must be handled by a nun sent by the palace. She must be Aunt Wang..."
She guessed correctly, this Granny Wang was Qi Lingheng's wet nurse, and she came with Jiang Qian.
"My aunt is the fifth wife of the Zhao family, the prince's fifth aunt."
Zhao Jingyi's wife.
Lin Yunjiao secretly said: "Then these two are the prince's serious relatives in Jiang Qian!"
Mrs. Zheng hummed, and said, "Looking at what kind of identity that Aunt Wang is, she can't be said to be closer than the prince's aunt."
Then we have to put that Grandma Wang first.
Lin Yunjiao nodded. She would definitely show her face in front of Grandma Wang soon. That's someone from the palace!
Mrs. Lin's wife took her head to meet the master in the flower hall.
As expected, it was Grandma Wang and Mrs. Zhao Wu who hosted today's banquet. The flower hall was filled with all kinds of plum blossoms, trimmed and placed in bottles. It's just a plum blossom banquet.
There are too many people in the Lin family. Grandma Wang and Mrs. Zhao Wu only briefly recognized the faces of the ladies and did not say anything to the girls.
Lin Yunjiao was anxious. Looking at her cousins in front, she was afraid that it would not be her turn, so she also took a step forward.
"Greetings to Grandma Wang and Mrs. Zhao."
Lin Yunwan stood too far behind, so it was not her turn to say anything.
Xiruo lowered her head and whispered: "The second girl is impatient to behave..."
Lin Yunwan didn't take it seriously. Who could Grandma Wang see in such a scene? It doesn't matter whether he is provocative or not, Lin Yunjiao, please don't cause trouble for Amitabha, the Lin family's talent.
Fortunately, Zheng was there to hold me down.
Then Grandma Wang and Mrs. Zhao Wu said "Hello, girl" and stopped looking at Lin Yunjiao.
Lin Yunjiao was a little dissatisfied, and Mrs. Zheng pulled her to prevent her from being too visible.
Soon a servant girl came over and said with a smile on her face: "Ladies and gentlemen, come with the servants."
Lead the Lin family to sit down.
Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nothing happened."
Lin Yunwan found it a little funny, "My wife is a trespassing person." She would never dare to cause trouble outside.
"The second young lady is a bit young, but she is also good at reading."
Outside, it's not as lawless as in the Lin Mansion.
Xiruo paused and said, "If the family hadn't been separated, the second lady wouldn't have dared to behave in front of the first and third bedrooms."
Who says it’s not!
Just because the family was separated, Lin Huabin doted on his wife and daughter too much, letting them become accustomed to being the king of the Lin family. It was really unscrupulous!
The Lin family went to sit in front of the stage.
Everyone from the third room came, which was a lot of people.
However, the status of Prince Huan's Mansion and Princess Huan's was really tempting, not only for the Lin family, but also for people in other houses. The wife brought her young daughter-in-law and the girls who had not left the palace to see the world, and there were several Western tables at once.
"Will the prince come to the backyard?"
"No way, the prince wants to socialize in the front yard, how can he get away from it?"
The ladies were talking, but the young daughters-in-law and girls did not dare to interrupt. They just listened quietly with their ears pricked up.
I wish I could see King Huan with my own eyes!
Lin Yunwan looked at Xi Zhou and felt that she would not see him today.
It didn't matter. When the palace was full of people and flowers were blooming, she didn't have to join in the fun.
"Have you heard about the Wuding Hou Mansion in the capital and the legitimate daughter of the Qingliu Lin family?"
Without seeing King Huan, the wives talked about other interesting topics.
However, there is nothing more attractive than what happened at Wudinghou Mansion!
"I've heard something about it, but I don't know the specific entanglement. What did you hear about it?"
"cough……"
The man deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The eldest son of the Wuding Marquis Mansion killed his wife and won the title because of his doting on his concubine. Then he made the same mistake again. The Lin family's legitimate daughter was burned alive by a concubine! How tragic!"
A moment of sadness...
"Did the Qingliu Lin family have a Taifu?"
"Who do you think you are? You're not the prince's teacher!"
There are noisy sounds from all directions to the west...
Lin Yunwan's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.
I didn't expect that I could still hear what I was doing even though I was hiding so far away.
"So what's going on in the Wuding Hou Mansion now? If you spoil your concubine and destroy your wife, you will go to jail!"
Lin Yunwan tilted her head and looked over curiously, wanting to know the follow-up.
