Chapter 144
"The flower market in Xiyuejiangqian is about to open. The two girls can go out with their wives to take a look at the various flowers in the flower market."
Aunt Fan smiled and said, "When it comes to copying, I always pay attention to vividness and naturalness."
"There are a lot of flowers in our house, but Jiang Qian travels south and north, and the flower market in Xiyue has many more flowers than our house. They are all so beautiful...it's dizzying to see."
What she meant was that it would be best to go out and see it in person.
"I won't be here to teach the two girls in the next few days."
Lin Yunwan and Lin Yunjiao said together: "Best farewell to grandma."
Aunt Fan left with a few books. Lin Huabin asked Mother Zhao to buy the pens and ink. They usually kept them in the wing room. After they were used, the maids would come and clean them up. After they were cleaned, they were left in the wing room.
"snort."
Lin Yunjiao and her maid rushed to Zheng's place for snacks.
Lin Yunwan went back to discuss going to the flower market with Xiruo.
"...I can't go out, but I must see the maid Lingxiang that my wife chased away in person."
"Go and ask the prince if you can bring him to the flower market so that Lingxiang and I can meet."
Xiruo patted her chest and said, "The prince will definitely agree."
Lin Yun smiled and said, "Go and talk to Zhao's mother yourself. I'll give you two days off and let you go home."
Xiruo responded and went to find Zhao's mother. She first told her, "The girl's pen has been worn out, and the cinnabar has also been used up."
Zhao's mother calculated in her mind and said, "That shouldn't be the case...how long has it been since you last received cinnabar?"
Xiruo said: "Girl is diligent and quick to use."
She asked with a sullen face: "Are you going to cut off the girl's hair with this little thing?"
Zhao's mother laughed: "The girl's words are really hurtful. I don't care about these things. I just ask a few more questions because everything in the house is done according to the rules. I don't want to treat the eldest daughter harshly."
"The master has an order. If the eldest lady really runs out, you should give it to me."
Xiruo didn't buy it and snorted coldly.
It’s just that dogs look down on people!
"Second girl is here, do you dare to ask this?"
Zhao's mother went to get a box of cinnabar in person, asked the maid to put the notes in the book, and said, "Second girl never comes to ask for it."
How could the wife have lost the cinnabar of the second lady?
This maid next to the eldest lady is really difficult to take care of!
She just asked as usual.
Xiruo said with a cold face: "The girl gave me two days off. I want to go home to see my family."
Zhao's mother didn't want to have any more verbal disputes with her, so she said: "The eldest lady, let the girl go back. The girl will just tell the mother-in-law of the second door."
Xiruo leaves with Zhusha.
Zhao's mother laughed at her back: "What's the use of ten pounds of cinnabar?"
The eldest lady's handwriting is the same as that of a Taoist priest, and she will definitely not be able to learn how to draw red.
Xiruo sent Cinnabar back to Bixi Hall, brought a message that Lin Yunwan had promised to Qi Lingheng, called a carriage at the gate of the mansion, and took a detour to Prince Huan's Mansion.
"The girl wants to meet that Lingxiang in person."
She put a scroll of calligraphy on it and held it up with both hands.
Qi Lingheng took the word, spread it out on the table, and asked softly: "Did she say why she wanted to meet in person?"
Xiruo thought for a moment and shook her head: "The girl didn't say anything."
Qi Lingheng thought deeply... What plans does she have?
Why didn't you tell him?
Xiruo continued: "The girl said, see you at the flower market."
She had thought of the time, place, and method.
Qi Lingheng said: "I know. Ah Fu."
"My slave is here."
Qi Lingheng said: "Find a place for Xiruo to stay for two days and send this calligraphy to the embroidery room."
Ah Fu went over to curl up and took Xiruo out to stay in a garden outside to avoid being bumped into by Grandma Wang.
Qi Lingheng sat in the study for a while, feeling very bored. He rowed to the small island in the middle of the lake. The surrounding trees were already green, much greener than the last time he came here.
He sat in the house and felt that the surroundings were too quiet and boring, so he rowed back by himself.
Soon the day came when Jiang Qian Flower Market opened.
"Since Aunt Fan said that she wants them to go to the flower market, you should take them to see it."
Lin Huabin specifically told Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng had prepared to go early in the morning, so she agreed with a smile and took Lin Yunwan and Lin Yunjiao out with her.
Lin Huabin added: "The Zhao family has a private garden over there. If you want to go in and take a look, just go in with my post."
Being able to visit Zhao Jingyi's garden was a dream for Mrs. Zheng.
When we arrived near the flower market, we couldn't squeeze into the garden, so we found a restaurant to stay. Looking out from the private room on the second floor, we could see that the streets were packed with people.
"Why are there so many people on the first day..."
Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to take the girl down.
Mother Fan pointed to a garden to the east and said, "That's the Zhao family's private garden over there. There are also many flowers...Do you want me to go in first with the master's post and ask?"
Zheng urged: "Go quickly!"
Fan's mother took someone over to ask. After seeing Lin's post, they agreed to let them in.
Mrs. Zheng took the two girls and the servant girl to the private garden of the Zhao family.
"Is the garden owner here?"
Mrs. Zheng wanted to visit Zhao Jingyi's wife. The maid who led the way replied: "Madam, our master and his wife are not here. The steward of the house is in charge of this place."
Fan's mother then smiled and said, "Then we won't pay homage to the Lord and Madam."
The maid smiled and said: "There are many guests here today, I will take you to the wing to stay. Ladies and girls, just take a stroll. Most of the flowers in the garden can be sold."
"Don't go to just one place. Go to the end on the east side, which is our master's usual residence. There are people guarding it, so you won't go in by mistake easily."
Fan's mother said quickly: "We won't break in if we know."
The maid smiled and nodded.
As soon as Lin Yunjiao arrived in the garden, she looked around. When she got to the wing, she saw that the maid had left, and she pestered Mrs. Zheng to go out for a walk together. Then he threw Lin Yunwan in the side room.
Xiruo had returned to Lin Yunwan and whispered to her: "Girl, I have lived in this garden for two days and I am very familiar with it. Come with me."
The master and servant went together to the place where the maid said they could not go.
This is a courtyard hidden behind the Taihu stone rockery. It is planted with various bamboos. Entering from the small door, there is also a very tall evergreen tree inside.
When Qi Lingheng heard the sound, he opened the door and came out. He smiled lightly and said, "She is in the innermost room. Go in and see for yourself."
Lin Yunwan originally wanted to say thank you.
But the prince spoke to her in such a familiar tone that it seemed a bit redundant for her to say thank you at this time.
He nodded and went in to see Ling Xiang.
She was shocked as soon as she entered. This maid's name was very elegant, but her current appearance had nothing to do with her name!
"Are you...Ling Xiang?"
Ling Xiang turned her head and looked at Lin Yunwan, very confused.
Xiruo said, "Don't you recognize her? This is the eldest lady of the third room of the Lin family, Lin Yunwan."
Ling Xiang seemed to have heard a very scary name and was so frightened that she froze.
"Eldest, eldest lady?"
Lin Yunwan asked: "Ling Xiang, you and your wife kicked me down together, right?"
She came closer and said, "My head hurts so much... You know what? There was a lot of blood on the back of my head. I was really in pain."
Lingxiang suddenly cried and said: "Eldest, eldest lady, I'm sorry. It wasn't my idea, it wasn't me... it was my wife who forced me to kick you!"
She knelt down and kowtowed.
Lin Yunwan sighed and made up a random sentence, and she guessed it right.
Zheng really wanted to drive away Miss Lin!
