Lin Qishu said honestly: "I always felt that Miss Liu looked a bit like Sister Yue before, but she doesn't look like her today? That's strange."
The girl next to me had already wanted to talk to her. When she heard that she was called Miss, she already felt something in her heart. She laughed and replied: "How can Liuying compete with the sun and the moon?"
The two girls said these heart-wrenching words as if no one else was around, paying no attention to the pale Miss Liu.
Xie Fengyue couldn't bear it, so she took a piece of snack and handed it to Liu Ying.
Liu Ying lowered her eyes and avoided silently. She only had one little maid, unlike those girls from aristocratic families who had at least two maids accompanying them. There was also a maid at the door with spare hairpins and rings. If this happened I accidentally soiled my skirt and there was no room to change at this table. Wouldn’t that mean I would be embarrassed in front of so many girls?
Xie Fengyue's kindness only lasted for that second. Seeing Liu Ying, she didn't appreciate it. She let go and dropped the delicate plum blossom cake to the ground: "Sorry, my hands are slippery. If Miss Liu wants to eat, ask someone to bring another one." ”
Lin Qishu had just finished chatting with someone when she saw Xie Fengyue throwing the pastries on the ground and asked: "These are sweet pastries according to your taste. Do you have a bad appetite today? Did you put enough ice cubes at night?" Come on, the sun has not been so fierce these days, you have to let the broken branches stick to you.”
Lin Qishu was still chattering to alert Xie Fengyue, not even seeing Miss Liu who was almost in tears.
The maid beside Liu Ying patted her young lady's back to comfort her.
The more Liu Ying thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. These superior ladies didn't care about other people's difficulties at all. They had their eyes on the sky. One day, she could be like them.
People are like this, they always want to be what they once hated and envied.
Zhou Jiamin, who had been trained before, had been keeping an eye on the situation here. When she saw Miss Liu crying silently, she quietly moved closer to her.
"Why is my sister crying like this? I feel sorry for her." she asked.
Liu Ying held the handkerchief and quickly wiped the tears on her cheeks, bit her lip and said solemnly: "I don't dare to call you my sister."
Zhou Jiamin waved her hand nonchalantly: "What's the matter? The name is just something external. I just had a better life and was reborn in the noble family. But my sister looks like this, with this figure, tsk tsk, if I become a girl "Jun"
She leaned over her ear, seducing and sighing: "If my sister were a lady, she would be even more dazzling than the Xie family girl."
Seeing a strange flash of light in Liu Ying's eyes, Zhou Jiamin continued to whisper: "I heard that Xie Fengyue is just a side branch of the Xie family. She was named by the mistress of the Xie family and became a direct branch. If the younger sister is a girl, You are not a commoner lady, she will definitely not throw that piece of cake directly on the ground today."
Liu Ying moved her gaze to Xie Fengyue, who was chatting and laughing with the girl next to her.
She couldn't help but also think: "If she was from a noble family and was also a girl, wouldn't this person dare to underestimate and humiliate her?"
Zhou Jiamin felt that the heat was almost over, and sighed faintly: "I finally came to the Lin Mansion, and I had time to think about fulfilling my filial piety in front of the old lady and please her, but I didn't expect that I would be attacked by this arrogant Miss Xie. A humiliation, hey, if I win the favor of the old lady and let her decide to accept me as the adopted daughter of the Lin family, Xie Fengyue will not dare to do this. "
Liu Ying twisted her handkerchief and lowered her head to think. There were many things running around in her mind. One moment she wanted to be the eldest son of the Lin family, and the other moment she wanted to be the adopted daughter of the Lin family.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you so much, girl. I don't know her name yet."
Zhou Jiamin smiled lowly: "You look younger than me. I am the younger sister of the young lady in the mansion. Just call me Jiamin."
Liu Ying smiled shyly: "Hello sister Jiamin, I don't have a greeting gift with me today, I'm really sorry." Zhou Jiamin looked like she didn't care, and held down her hand holding the handkerchief: "You call me Call me sister, I must give you the greeting gift.”
She put the carved silk fan into Liu Ying's hand, and pointedly said: "The ladies from Shengjing don't even carry handkerchiefs in the summer, they all carry fans. Now that my sister has come to the Lin Mansion, she will You must get used to the rules in Lin’s house.”
Liu Ying was horrified. The fan's workmanship value was measured in gold. Although her family was wealthy, they would not spend so much money on a fan.
Zhou Jiamin held down the hand she wanted to give back: "I'm still waiting for my sister to give me a more gorgeous fan in the future~"
Liu Ying looked at her with a grateful expression, and Zhou Jiamin responded with a comforting smile.
Neither Xie Fengyue nor Lin Qishu thought that someone would talk about this under their noses.
The two of them were chatting animatedly with the girl they talked to before.
Seeing that this person had a good nature, Xie Fengyue thought of giving her advice: "Sister Xianzhi, next time I go to the old lady's place, I can also tell some interesting stories to amuse her."
Luan Xianzhi felt a little discouraged when she mentioned this. She was the direct sister of the second wife's eldest daughter-in-law. After all, her sister was still the grandson's daughter-in-law in the name of the old lady. She was still not welcome by the old lady, let alone her sister-in-law. Yes, she came here three times, and each time she was in the corridor and dared not go in.
She had heard from her sister that the old lady valued manners and manners the most. If she talked as much as she did today and even told some interesting stories about the common people, the old lady would have to beat her up.
She didn't expect that this beautiful girl who looked like a fairy would dig holes for others without leaving any trace.
She silently stopped talking and shrank back calmly.
Xie Fengyue noticed her behavior, but did not expose it. Anyway, she was not the first ungrateful girl, so it didn't matter.
Lin Qishu saw that the time was almost up, stood up and clapped her hands. The girls who were chatting noisily at the scene stopped instantly.
"Lunch time is coming soon. Sisters, let's have lunch at the Lin Mansion today. Later, just ask the girls around you to report the taboos and other taboos to the grandma in charge. I will excuse you first."
The girls have long been accustomed to it. They not only have to eat at the Lin Mansion, they even have to stay in the Lin Mansion for a few days. Otherwise, they only come once a month or two for half a day. What kind of relationship can be cultivated in half a day? Got up?
Lin Qishu took Xie Fengyue's hand and wanted to go out, but a timid voice sounded from behind: "Girl, can I go and pay my respects to the old lady tomorrow?"
Lin Qishu raised her eyebrows in confusion: "You are a guest, not a relative, so what kind of greetings do you have?"
Liu Ying's face turned red instantly, she was trembling and speechless.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiamin came to the rescue and said, "Miss Liu probably feels that all her food and accommodation are in the Lin Mansion, so she just wants to be grateful."
Liu Ying nodded her head as soon as she heard this: "Yes, yes, that's what I think."
Lin Qishu was too lazy to talk to her: "You can go if you want."
