Chapter 82 Selling Hairpins

  Under the sunlight, the crystal-like water droplets on Lin Jianrong's hair refracted into dazzling seven-colored lights, making Lin Wuyi feel a little dizzy. But when he saw Lin Jianrong's flower-like smile, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

  The dress Lin Jinyong is wearing should have been hers, the aquamarine hairpin on her head should have belonged to Lu Yun, everything was snatched from someone else's hands, yet she flaunts them with such arrogance, how can there be people with skin so thick in this world? How detestable.

  Lin Wu thought to himself, and his face showed it: "Fourth sister's outfit is really beautiful."

  "I remember this hairpin was given by Auntie as a gift during the tea-picking festival?"

  Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Exactly." She gently took down the hairpin and compared it with a few strokes, "Beautiful, right? I've seen many aquamarine hairpins before, but I've never seen one as pure and exquisitely crafted as this. It's hard to bear that Auntie would be willing to take it out as a gift."

  This hairpin is a pair of intertwined lotus flowers, with petals that are crystal clear and translucent, thin as ice crystals, as if they would melt under the summer sun with just one careless touch. With a gentle turn, it shines brightly.

  Several girls all loved this thing, Lin Liu covered her face with a fan and didn't speak, while Lin Qi curiously approached: "Wow, it's really beautiful, so thin! I don't know how you made it."

  Lin Wuban was half acidic and half jealous, biting her lip as she looked at Lin Jianrong: "Fourth sister, I'm going to say something, don't get angry, this hairpin doesn't really suit you." Are you stupid or shameless? Auntie wouldn't have given it to you even if she wanted to. It was clearly meant for her own biological daughter's dowry, how would she know that halfway through it would be snatched away by a thief like you?

  "What did you say?"

  Lin Wu covered his fan and said in a low voice, "Pian Ti Lian, Fourth Sister, this Ruan girl's family is not quite suitable for wearing this. Besides, you actually suit wearing something with some color, this one is too plain on you, not eye-catching at all."

  Lin Jinyong's expression suddenly became somewhat dispirited: "That's true... I hadn't thought of that."

  Lin Wu yawned: "You can't think of it, and it's not your fault. People always can't see their own shortcomings."

  Lin Liu said slowly: "How can Fifth Sister always think of so many things? It's just two lotus flowers, which can be considered as twin lotuses or double lotus flowers. However, Fourth Sister is indeed more suitable for wearing colorful hair accessories."

  "You look a bit too pale."

  Lin Jinrong smiled: "Sixth sister, I remember you love aquamarine the most, right? You also have a pair of aquamarine fish earrings, which must match this hairpin perfectly. Do you want to let the maid go get them and try matching them?"

  Lin Wu's yawn was halfway through, and the other half was stuck in his throat, feeling quite uncomfortable. What does it mean? Is he going to send Lin Liu away? Why should he? Following the order, shouldn't he ask her if she wants to go first? At this point, he said: "Fourth sister, it's not hers anyway, even if it's matched well, it's still a waste."

  Lin Qi immediately became displeased: "What's wrong with us wanting to give it to Fourth Sister? Lü Ping, go get that crystal fish ear pendant right away and bring my cicada pair too."

  "I don't look good with it on." Lin Jinrong lowered her eyelashes and poured tea for the three of them: "Even if it looks good, it's not suitable to wear out in case Mother sees it and gets angry." Although she didn't say it outright, it was equivalent to saying that this hairpin was a white elephant to her, and there was a possibility that she would give it away.

  Lin Liu smiled and asked tentatively: "Look at what Fourth Sister said, does that mean others won't get angry if they wear the same thing as their aunt?"

  Lin Jinyong looked up at her: "You two are different, Auntie only sees you with joy, how can she be angry with you? Sixth sister, does Auntie like you?"

  Lin Liu lowered her eyes and smiled, which was equivalent to acknowledging Lin Jianrong's words.

  "Fourth sister!" Lin Wu saw that things were not going well, and hastily said: "I also have a pair of water jade lotus leaf earrings to match this, which is the perfect match. I'll let someone go get them and try them on to see how they look?" From the day she saw this hairpin, she had been extremely fond of it, but since she knew it was impossible for her to have it, she had given up on the idea. Today, seeing that there was such a good opportunity to take advantage of, how could she easily let it go? Even if she didn't like it, she wouldn't be willing to let Lin Liu take advantage of it for free.

  She did it in a very obvious way, Lin Qi was furious and hated saying: "What are you joining the excitement for?"

  Lin Huai turned back to look at Lin Qi with a cold smile: "Is it your thing? Can you guys match, but I can't? Fourth sister didn't say anything, what are you picking on?" Lin Jianrong hurriedly stood up to mediate: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, we're all sisters, we can all match. Go get..."

  "Go get it."

  Lin Wu smiled complacently and told her maid to quickly fetch her water droplet lotus leaf earrings.

  Lin Liu looked at Lin Jianrong, then at Lin Wu, and suddenly let out a snort of laughter: "I say, what are you two arguing about? Fourth sister just asked us to bring the earrings over for a try, it's not like she said they were going to be given to anyone... You're so quick to start quarreling, it's laughable..." She also liked the hairpin, but wasn't sure what Lin Jianrong was really up to. If she truly wanted to give it away, then Lin Wu wouldn't have been so cheap; if she was just teasing people, then she'd be happy to play along and tease Lin Wu too, but first she had to figure out Lin Jianrong's true intentions.

  Among the sisters, Lin Liu was the most formidable. This girl didn't grow in stature but grew in cunning. She was forcing herself to take a stand. Lin Jin Rong said, "I'll just say it outright, this hairpin is useless if I keep it, whoever suits it best will have it. Remember, I'm doing you all a favor." But who suited it best wasn't up to her alone. Thinking back to when Lin Jin Rong directly said that Lin Liu loved aquamarines and had her go get the earrings to match, Lin Wu already knew she was just a supporting character and immediately burst into tears: "Fourth sister, you're being unfair! You're so petty!" Lin Qi quickly took Lin Jin Rong's side: "Fifth sister, this is unreasonable. Fourth sister has already said that whoever suits it best will have it. It hasn't been decided yet, but you're saying she's being unfair and petty?"

  "Are you being careful? If I told you directly, you wouldn't be biased, and you wouldn't be so petty-minded." Lin Wu choked back tears: "Isn't she biased? We're all sisters, why didn't she ask me, but instead let you guys take the earrings to match? She's obviously still resentful of what happened at the stove meeting earlier, and is intentionally doing this to spite me! Fourth sister, I wasted my time serving tea and apologizing to you!" Lin Qi sneered: "Oh, so just because you served tea and apologized to fourth sister, this hairpin should be given to you? Not giving it to you means not forgiving you? What kind of logic is that? I've only ever seen people who did wrong give things to others as apology gifts, but never seen someone who was wronged chase after others demanding things. You're really something!"

  "Did I do something wrong? How dare you say that?" Lin Wu suddenly stood up, pointing at the tip of Lin Qi's nose: "Sneaky little man, you guys harmed me and then went to provoke Fifth Sister to hate me. You got all the benefits for yourself, thinking I didn't know anything? Otherwise, let's clarify things in front of Fifth Sister!"

  "What are you pointing at? Speak up, I'm afraid of you?" Lin Qi slapped away Lin Wu's finger with a "pa" sound, disdainfully saying: "Who doesn't know how the messenger was driven out? Are you trying to hear me say it again? Your face is really thick!"

  "I beg of you, stop quarreling. If the elders hear about it, we'll not only get scolded but also punished." Lin Jingrong let out a pained sigh and hugged Lin Wu, who was on the verge of exploding: "It's all my fault, I'm to blame, I didn't think things through, one hairpin isn't even enough for three sisters to share, just drop it."

  ”

  "No way!" Lin Wu and Lin Qi turned back simultaneously, their tone leaving no room for doubt.

  Lin Liu stared at Lin Jianrong stiffly and said, "Fifth sister, who do you believe? If you believe her, give the Water Crystal Hairpin to her. I won't say another word and will take Seventh Sister away immediately. If you believe me, give the Water Crystal Hairpin to me. I won't let you suffer in vain."

  It's no longer a question of whether or not to want a water droplet pendant, but rather it has escalated to a matter of personal character.

  It seems that whoever gets that branch of crystal hairpin, their character will be as crystal clear and flawless as the hairpin.

  Lin Jinyong had no interest in what happened that day, she was only interested in Lin Liu's words "don't let her suffer in vain", what could Lin Liu give her? Best of all would be gold or silver, those were her favorites.

  She thought so, but her face showed a look of extreme difficulty: "Don't make it difficult for me, hurting the harmony between sisters is not good."

  Lin Wuyi gritted his teeth: "Fourth sister, I really didn't let Xiner push people that day. If you believe me, give me the water crystal hairpin. I won't take your things for nothing. I've been wronged for so long, and I'm looking forward to clearing my name one day."

  "Alright, now everyone is openly tempting her to take a stand. Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment before raising his head and smiling at his three younger sisters: "I say, isn't it just a Water Crystal Hairpin? Why must we hurt our relationship over it? In fact, I believe that day was an accident. I still want to give the Water Crystal Hairpin as a gift, but this doesn't mean whoever gets it is a bad person." He glanced around and said, "Where's the maid who went to get the earrings?" Lin Liu stared at her for a moment, knowing she wouldn't explicitly take a stand, and suddenly let out a cold laugh: "No need, Fourth Sister, I'll give you my pair of Golden Phoenix Hairpins in exchange for this Water Crystal Hairpin." Lin Wu's face turned red as he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you my pair of Ruby-encrusted Gold Bangle in exchange!"

  It's done! Lin Jinrong's heart was racing, but she restrained herself and shook her head slightly: "Don't make it difficult for me, the golden hairpin of Sixth Sister is a birthday gift from Second Aunt, and the golden bangle of Fifth Sister is a gift from Eldest Aunt. They are all precious things, how can I take them? Let's talk about it another time, the tea has gone cold, let's have some tea and snacks."

  Lin Qi shouted: "At this time, who has the heart to drink tea or eat fruit? Fourth sister, speak clearly, do you believe her or us?"

  "I said it, I believe that day was an accident!" Lin Jinyong also turned her face, suddenly stood up, held the water crystal hairpin high, and gently put it on the table. "I only have one water crystal hairpin, if I give it to someone, I will offend others, not giving is not okay, so take out silver to exchange! Whoever gives more will get it! Gold is also fine." Softened her tone, "I'm not greedy for your money, just want the sisters to be harmonious. One price, no change. I count to three, you say! One, two, three!"

  Finally, a tea party for sending hairpins and linking emotions successfully turned into a hairpin selling conference.
