At that time, Lin Jingrong had just opened her eyes and saw Guiyuan. She thought she would scold Guiyuan and drive her away, but in the end, she smiled sweetly at Guiyuan. Now nothing has happened yet, but she has gained the upper hand and can distinguish between loyalty and treachery. So what if she keeps Guiyuan? She has taken precautions, who knows what the final outcome will be like? Whether good or bad, its a good thing to use in a clever way.
How could Guiyuan know that Lin Jingrong had already turned over countless thoughts in an instant? She thought the person in front of her was still the naive and gentle Fourth Young Lady, only to see a mischievous smile on her face as she stretched out her hand to pull Lin Jingrong up: "Fourth Young Lady, get up quickly, Third Madam and Second Madam have sent their maids over to visit you, and Third Young Lady has just come by."
"Has sister come? Why didnt anyone call me?" Lin Jinrong glanced at the window and found that it was already late, past her usual waking time. She knew it was Gu Yiniang and Li Zhis intention to let her sleep a little longer. If it werent for today being her grandmothers 60th birthday, she might have been allowed to sleep until she woke up naturally.
Kuiyuan helped Lin Qinger put on a brand new silver-red long skirt, while serving her to wash her face and comb her hair, chattering non-stop: "The guests from afar have arrived early, you know that, only Aunts family hasnt arrived yet. The nearby guests also came early, the dishes in the kitchen are fragrant everywhere, making those little boys and girls who sweep the floor drool." Kuiyuans tone unconsciously revealed a few points of dignity and pride as a senior maid beside the young lady - her food was not comparable to those little boys and girls who did rough work.
Lin Jinrong had a faint smile on her face, letting Guigui take care of the packing for her. She was still young and not yet at the age of wearing her hair in a bun, so all she needed to do was braid her long black hair into pigtails, tie them up with colorful silk ribbons, and insert a few pearl flowers. Cosmetics were also not something she used yet, so this dressing up for her was as simple as it could be.
"Put on another pair of golden earrings." Lychee came in, put down the food box in her hand, opened a small makeup box, took out a pair of golden earrings, and gently put them on Lin Jiran. She also helped her tidy up the jade belt around her waist and smiled with curved eyebrows: "Fourth young lady has grown up and looks more like a wife."
Everyone knows that Lin Jia Sans wife, Tao Shi, was a renowned beauty in her early years. Although this remark about lychees did not mention Lin Jian Rongs appearance at all, it is indeed a genuine compliment.
Lin Jinyong raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror. Her skin was white and delicate, with two slender eyebrows, calm and gentle eyes, and tender and full lips. This face of hers couldnt be described as beautiful, but it had a serene and peaceful quality to it. People say that ones appearance reflects their heart, so when her aunt saw this face of hers back then, she must have thought Lin Jinyong was a gentle and calm person, which is why she liked her even more. If her aunt liked her, others would surely like her too. What was she like back then? Lin Jinyong tilted her head to think for a moment, revealing a naive yet slightly shy smile. The morning sunlight shone on her face, radiant and dazzling.
Lin Jinrongs eating habits were elegant, neither rushed nor slow, but she ate without stopping. People in the world valued thinness as beauty, from her aunts to her mother, sisters in the family, and those concubines who shared a room with her, all of whom dared not eat too much. She used to be like that too, but now she didnt think so. She thought mischievously, when those beautiful thin people encountered bandits and ran for their lives, panting after every step, did they regret not eating more in the past? Anyway, at that time, she was regretful.
She saw that she was eating again, and the longan looked at the lychee with a hint of meaning - since that day when the fourth girl woke up from her fright, every time she saw food, she had an expression as if she had a vendetta against it. Her appetite had improved a lot compared to before, and she didnt even mind getting fat? It seemed like she was also going to be someone who would discuss marriage soon, and yet not being the slightest bit reserved about it.
Lychees expression didnt change, she just said softly: "Miss, eat a little less, today the kitchen has many dishes, including your favorite lamb in milk." If you eat too much now, later you wont be able to enjoy the good food.
"Finish the leftover food, dont waste it." Lin Jinrong nodded and carefully ate the last grain of rice in his bowl. Those who have never been hungry do not know the preciousness of food, those who have never died do not know the preciousness of life.
Lin Jinyong stood in the lush garden of the Lin family, gazing into the distance. The weather at the end of August was crisp and refreshing, just like every autumn. The scenery in the Lin familys garden was as beautiful as ever, with leaves changing from green to yellow, from yellow to red, layer upon layer, extremely picturesque.
Although the Lin family is declining, the house and garden built by Old Master Lin in his early years of smooth career are worth every penny. Not only do Mr. and Mrs. Lin and their three sons and daughters-in-law have their own courtyards, but also every stone, pond, tree, and bamboo grove has been carefully thought out to be just right. However, looking at Lin Jianrong now, he seems to have a somewhat melancholic feeling.
Not far away, a burst of laughter came from the edge of the lotus pond. A drake with a loud voice laughed and said: "Wu Big Brother, is this piece of Lingbi stone in your house real? It doesnt look like it. Let me knock on it." Before he finished speaking, a clear and crisp sound was heard.
Lin Jinyong completely ignored the sound of the stone, her ears were filled with that harsh quacking voice. How many years had it been since she last heard this voice? Her fingertips began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, her eldest brother, Lin Yizhi, who was fifth in the family hierarchy, also spoke up with a worried tone: "Lus cousin, dont be like this, this is our ancestors most cherished wish."
"Lins brother is really petty." The duck quacked with laughter and said, "Our Pingzhous number one Lingbi stone, lightly tapping it, where can it be broken? Look at you, your face is all red from anxiety." Next was a splash of water, "Ah!" Lin Yizhen exclaimed, followed by a chaotic noise.
The eyes of the osmanthus flower blinked, and she said happily: "Miss, listen, its the fifth young master of the Lu family. It seems that our fifth young master has also suffered a loss at his hands." Lin Yizhen was the eldest son of the third house, ranked fifth in the clan, only one year older than Lin Jincan, but much older than her younger brother Shen Zhi. His mother, Huang Niangniang, was clever and had served Lin Jincans father since childhood, earning his favor and trust. For over a decade, she enjoyed great fortune without decline. This mother and son were like a thorn in the side of Third Lady Tao, with seven out of ten quarrels between her husband and herself being about this pair.
So, the people on Lin Jianrongs side didnt like him. Lin Jianrong naturally didnt like Lin Yizhou either. In the past, when Lin Yizhou was being teased and bullied by others, she wouldnt help with the bullying, but she would also pretend to be deaf and dumb, which is why Guigui dared to be so bold.
"Madam is still waiting for the girl." Lychee and Longan are different, she has always been trying not to get involved in this kind of thing, at this moment, she just advised Lin Jinyong to hurry up and leave, dont interfere with other peoples business. Her task is to take good care of Lin Jinyong, dont let Lin Jinyong get into trouble, what does other peoples trouble have to do with her?
Lin Jinyong seemed to have never heard their voices, turned around and walked towards the noisy place. I really didnt expect that this thing would happen to her!
She remembered that the base of the Lingbi stone was unstable and was accidentally pushed into the pond by the mischievous Lu Xun. Lu Xun was a noble guest, so Old Man Lin would not scold him, so in the end it was Lin Yizhi who suffered.
Lin Yizhi was originally afraid and jumped into the pond to push the stone, got a cold, and was punished to kneel for two days and two nights in the temple, fell ill with high fever, Huang Niangniang who was already sick took care of him without taking off her clothes, but from then on she let go of life. His mother was resented by his father because of this, and his father retaliated by taking another beautiful concubine, his strong-willed mother was both angry and furious, fell seriously ill, the relationship between husband and wife which was originally not good became more and more vicious, and their siblings were also caught in the middle, suffering from the conflict.
Lin Yizhis status was now superior to that of the eldest son, and he harbored resentment in his heart, becoming a real threat to the seventh brother. If it werent for having no other choice, their mother wouldnt have agreed to that marriage with such enthusiasm, and she herself wouldnt have had to swallow her pride later on.
At that time, she got up earlier than today. She had never encountered such a thing and was powerless to stop it, but today she encountered it and couldnt just sit back and do nothing. She felt that by going this time, maybe many things could be changed. Lin Yizhi wouldnt be punished, Huang Niang wouldnt die early, Father wouldnt take another concubine, Mother wouldnt fall ill, Lin Yizhi wouldnt hate them, they didnt have to live so miserably, and she might not be married into the Lu family, marry Lu Xuan, and die an unjust death.
Lin Jin walked away, and Li Zhi glared at Gui Yuan and said in a low voice: "Big mouth! If the young lady gets into trouble, Ill tell Madam Gui about you, and shell spank your legs."
She was talking to Gui Yatou, not Third Madame. She had already yielded, but Gui Yatou didnt take the hint and instead said impatiently: "Youre the one whos capable! What does this have to do with me? Hurry up, Miss has walked far ahead, catch up!"
Lin Jinyong walked to the edge of the lotus pond and stopped.
