Chapter 179 How similar
The woman in white was so bumped into by the servants who were following her master that she almost fell down.
Aunt Gui, who still remained silent, supported her.
"Girl, you are a bit weak." Aunt Gui looked at her secretly and then spoke.
Liu Ying flinched and stammered: "But I'm not allowed to call me that...not Lady Jun."
Upon hearing this, the enthusiasm on Aunt Gui's face visibly faded a bit: "Miss, please come here."
The old lady in the main hall had already gone from being three points angry to now being seven points angry.
She rubbed the gem on the dragon-headed crutch, her eyelids drooping, and as soon as she heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately returned to her energetic look, staring at the door.
When she saw Lin Qishu coming back from the banquet with a smile on her face, her wrinkled old face also showed a smile: "Xiao Shu'er, is it hot outside?"
Lin Qishu had already learned from his brother what kind of gifts she had today, and was in a good mood: "Not hot, not hot, my granddaughter is not hot at all."
Lin Qingping bowed and performed the junior salute, but for a long time he didn't hear the old lady's polite words.
Lin Qishu frowned, gently pulled the old lady's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Grandma~"
The old lady calmly spoke: "Get up, my old bones are sore from sitting today, so let's talk about serious matters."
Lin Qingping didn't reply after he stood up, and waved to the boy behind him, who immediately understood and walked out of the room.
After a while, a group of maids carrying various trays and gift boxes came in one after another, as well as a woman wearing a fairy-like white dress.
This woman has black hair on her hair, a phoenix hairpin flying sideways, her face is like a silver plate, her eyes are like autumn water, her two beautiful eyebrows are like slender crescent moon eyebrows but green without drawing, her lips are dotted with red lips under her plump nose, and between her mouth openings, there are white teeth. As white as jade!
Lin Qishu regretted why she didn't see what this woman looked like!
She is actually similar to Xie Fengyue.
Although there is only some similarity in appearance, it is enough for this woman to be superior to others in terms of beauty.
However, in terms of temperament, the two of them were completely different. Xie Fengyue's demeanor was calm and indifferent, just like the lonely lotus in the lotus pond. She just glanced at it and her impatience was calmed by half.
But this woman, Lin Qishu, couldn't describe it. In her opinion, this person smelled like a market person, especially her eyes that were inadvertently looking at the people present.
Lin Qishu could not explain the unknown things, but in the eyes of the two ladies of the Lin family, there was almost nowhere to hide.
That's not the atmosphere of the market, that's desire.
The old lady snorted coldly: "Is this the woman you brought back last night?"
Lin Qingping opened the boxes one by one and faced Lin Qishu before replying: "To my grandmother, this woman's name is Liu Ying. I picked it up on the road. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Her family originally gave her a gift." She went to a gentry family in the next county to learn it, and ended up She was intercepted and killed by rogues on the road. After I rescued her, I sent her back. She was now destitute. If I left her at home, her life would be in danger. After asking for her opinion, I brought her back and prepared Be your sister’s personal maid.”
After saying that, she didn't seem to care about Liu Ying's feelings at all. She just took out the bracelet from the box and made gestures on Lin Qishu's wrist.
Lin Qishu was dumbfounded. This good young lady, who had enough food and clothing, came to be an envoy. Although the envoy sounded nice, she was just a maid. Not to mention her face! The old lady asked Xiang Liuying: "Are you willing?"
Liu Ying seemed to be extremely frightened, her body could not stop trembling, and she tried her best not to kneel down: "Back to the old lady, I must be willing to do so. Being able to be a maid for a direct descendant of a rich family is already my best achievement. There is a good way out, please be kind to the old lady and take me in!”
A trace of consideration flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she turned her head and asked Lin Qishu, who was still trying on jewelry: "Xiao Shu'er, are you willing?"
Lin Qishu paused for a moment. She was also very confused. This woman looked so much like Sister Yue. If she was kept by her side, wouldn't it be a slap in Sister Yue's face?
But if we don't keep her, then she is a helpless woman, and if we send her back to her place of origin, won't we let her lose her life in vain?
She directly expressed her worries: "She looks like Sister Yue, so she is not suitable to be around me!"
The old lady also saw Lin Qishu's difficulties. She was a granddaughter who was pampered and respected by outsiders at home, and she was too simple-minded.
She tapped her cane "Dudu": "Although our Lin family is not as good as the Wang Xie family, it is still a family with bells and dishes, and we will not be able to raise a little girl. In the future, we will be slaves and maids." No need to mention it anymore.”
After she heard about this little girl's life experience, she had given up the idea of wanting her grandson to marry. This kind of common people came from a merchant's family. Even if she was a concubine of the Lin family, she still had to step on her toes. .
What's more, looking at his grandson's unpretentious expression, she is just a little lady who was saved by chance, and her sweetheart's words are simply far-fetched.
If even Lin Qishu didn't refute what the old lady said, then Mrs. Lin and Lin Qingping would be even less likely to say anything.
The matter was settled like this, and Liu Ying was arranged in a side garden behind Lin Qishu's south courtyard.
At this moment, she was holding the handkerchief and sighing quietly with the maid beside her: "I originally thought that my cousin from Qidong County was already the leader of the family, but I didn't know that I was sitting in a well watching the sky, and I was rarely seen or heard. < br>
I saw some of the gifts Lin Dalang gave to Miss Shu today.
I'm afraid my cousin has only heard of it but not necessarily seen it.
Hey... even such a side garden for entertaining guests from far away is almost the same as the main garden in my home."
She sighed for a long time, and the maid beside her followed her obediently.
Liu Ying's original intention was definitely not to be a servant girl, but she couldn't resist her aunt's repeated persuasion, so she followed the Lin family's eldest son to the capital. Anyway, her family's property had already been taken over by her relatives, and she If there are no uncles or brothers, it is better to stay far away to avoid causing more troubles.
What's more important is that the eldest son of the Lin family has never married a wife, let alone a concubine. Even when she seduced him intentionally or unintentionally on the road, he always looked calm, which shows that the Lin family tradition is extremely strict.
When I entered his courtyard, I found that Lin Dalang didn't even have a girl with whom he lived.
Only then did Liu Ying's mind become more active. As the old saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door should first be the envoy to Miss Shu. The first to get the moon near the water and the towers, and the flowers and trees in the sun are easy to spring!
Liu Ying thought in her heart that she must plan carefully. Since she couldn't go back home, she might as well give it a try and have a bright future!
Lin Qishu didn't know what Liu Ying was thinking. When she returned to the yard, she took off her outer shirt and let the green rain fan her, but there was no trace of comfort on her face.
"Do you think she looks like Moon Girl?"
Biyu stammered, but still managed to squeeze out a few words: "Just a little bit."
