Chapter 186
"What an outstanding girl. No wonder the old lady hid it and couldn't bear to show it to us!"
The wife of the family friend opened her mouth, and the women in the room immediately laughed.
Lin Yunwan lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly.
Just when we were talking and laughing, we heard the maid say: "Old madam, the second wife is here."
The maid led Mrs. Zheng in to greet Mrs. Lin. She pretended to walk up to Lin Yunwan, took Yun Wan's red fingers, and said distressedly: "Yun Wan, why didn't you apply the hand ointment I gave you?" superior?"
When did Mrs. Zheng give her hand ointment?
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly. She didn't want to cause trouble in front of the old lady, so she didn't expose Zheng. She followed the words and said, "You can't apply ointment to the strings if it hurts."
If you don't even know about this kind of thing, do you really care about your stepdaughter?
The ladies and grandmothers in the room laughed and said nothing.
Mrs. Zheng was still talking earnestly: "When you are not practicing the piano, you must put it on. A girl's hands are like her second face, so she must take good care of them."
Lin Yunwan knelt down and said, "Yes." It was considered a greeting.
Mrs. Lin's expression has become pale since Zheng came in.
The ladies in Xilin Mansion were very good at looking at each other and took the lead: "Okay, we've been here for a long time. I'm afraid my sister-in-law is bored waiting in the flower hall, so hurry up and go!"
Aunt Fan also came out and said, "Old lady, it's time for you to take medicine."
The guests just dispersed.
Zheng was not familiar with the ladies in Xilin Mansion, so she left last, taking Lin Yunwan with her as soon as they left the old lady's yard, they met Lin Huabin who came to say hello.
"Master, why are you here?"
Lin Huabin said: "Eldest brother said that the old lady woke up early today. I thought it was time for the sisters-in-law to leave, so I came over to say hello."
He came just in time.
Zheng said: "Then go in quickly, the old lady needs to take medicine."
Lin Huabin nodded, walked in quickly... and came out in the blink of an eye.
"So fast?"
Mrs. Zheng glared, don't expect to be scolded.
Lin Huabin didn't look like he was being scolded, and his expression was very gentle: "The old lady is taking medicine, I'll make an appointment and come out."
"Come on, don't disturb the old lady."
Lin Huabin saw that Lin Yunwan was still there, and then he remembered to ask, "Where is Jiao'er? Why don't you come to pay your respects to the old lady?"
Mrs. Zheng looked very uncomfortable.
She touched her bun and said: "... Jiao'er, she got up early and has a stomachache, so I asked her to come later. So as not to bump into the old lady, right?"
Lin Huabin didn't think there was anything wrong, and said very kindly: "I will come later. Today is a big day for the big family, so many relatives are watching."
"Yes, I know."
Zheng's attitude is very good.
Lin Yunwan looked at the couple talking with their hearts apart and found it ridiculous.
Did the master really not see his wife’s intentions at all?
If she didn't have any bad intentions, why wouldn't the wife not let Lin Yunjiao come over to say hello? I missed such a good opportunity to fulfill my filial piety.
"Yun Wan, I'm going to meet your eldest aunt and your third aunt in the flower hall right now. You can pick up your aunt Wen back for me."
Zheng said suddenly.
Lin Yunwan sneered in her heart, after waiting for so long, it was finally here.
Lin Huabin was a little surprised: "Why did you bring her here?" He was also a little dissatisfied: "...she is a stranger, and you are not afraid that the old lady and sister-in-law will be unhappy."
It's because you are unhappy!
Don’t you just look down on my relatives on my mother’s side?
Mrs. Zheng endured it and said with a kind smile: "Didn't Wen Hai come with you? My cousin said that she wanted to pay a visit to the old lady, and she also said that she had never seen what the Lin Mansion's garden looked like. I’ll bring her over to have a look.”
"Greetings to the old lady, this is what you should do."
Lin Huabin's face became a little better, and he thought about his mother-in-law's visit to Lin's garden. Wouldn't it feel like a countryman going to heaven? I feel comfortable in my heart, so I don’t care about it.
Just suspicious: "Since I'm saying hello, why don't you see her?"
Zheng said angrily: "Isn't this what Yun Wan was supposed to do to pick her up? She sprained her foot while walking around. I asked the maid to take her back, but she said she couldn't move. I asked the doctor to come and take a look, but she was embarrassed. .”
"He's just a distant guest in our house. How can he stir up trouble in the big house?"
"I came through the garden through the door over there. I was anxious to say hello to the old lady, so I left her by the lotus pond in the garden."
Mrs. Zheng urged in front of Lin Huabin: "Yun Wan, I am rushing to congratulate your aunt and sister-in-law. Go and pick up your aunt back to our house."
Lin Yunwan glanced at Mrs. Zheng and said slowly: "Madam, I'll let the maid go. There are so many guests. It wouldn't be good if my sister and I weren't with you."
Behind her stood Xiruo.
Zheng sneered: "What's wrong? That's your aunt, your elder. You can't even run an errand?"
Lin Yunwan glanced at Lin Huabin.
Such a clumsy means!
She didn't believe it, the master couldn't tell at all.
Lin Huabin's face was still very good: "Yun Wan, just go there."
Of course he knew in his heart that his wife wanted to match up the two children, Yun Wan and Wen Hai.
Maybe Wen Hai’s mother will be Yun Wan’s mother-in-law from now on!
If you don’t seize the opportunity to please Wen Hai’s mother now, why wait?
Lin Huabin smiled and had the same attitude: "After all, he is your elder. Children should be diligent and filial, so it doesn't matter."
Lin Yunwan was speechless.
Kneel down and go.
Lin Yunwan and Xiruo walked towards the garden together. The three rooms in the Lin Mansion were all connected to each other, but they were separated by doors.
Usually the side door is not open, but today there is a banquet and several doors are open.
The side door of the garden leads to the second room of the Lin Mansion. When I walked over, I saw Cuiqin waiting under the pavilion covered with soap locusts.
When Cuiqin saw Lin Yunwan, she quickly stepped forward and said, "The second lady is here with the girl!"
Lin Yunwan's face was calm: "Go and talk to the second lady -"
What to say?
Just say what Zheng told her.
"My wife said that she is the elder, and the junior should give it as a gift. It is also appropriate for the second young lady to go and give it to her."
As for what will happen after delivery, she doesn't know.
Cuiqin nodded and said: "I understand, slave!"
He turned around and went to find Lin Yunjiao. She was also good at pretending. When she ran in front of Lin Yunjiao, she was in a panic, as if something terrible had happened.
"Second, second miss, my concubine has a sprain!"
Lin Yunjiao had dressed up carefully, and her body smelled like powder. She frowned and asked, "So what if it's sprained? What does it have to do with me? Do I have to carry the person back?"
Then I thought, after all, she is Cousin Wenhai’s mother. It’s not good for her to just sit back and ignore it...
Lin Yunjiao's face turned red. She looked at Cuiqin and suddenly asked, "Hey. Aren't you the girl next to her? Why are you here?"
"Why is it so weird today?"
Lin Yunjiao felt something was wrong.
