"Sorry, I think this should be something I'm under." He stood one meter away from Lin Ruoyan. After saying this, his long arms were stretched out openly. His elegant and slender fingers instantly pulled out the hairpin that Lin Ruoyan was holding, then retracted it and put it into his sleeve.

"Who told you that it was yours!" The thing I like was "stealed" in front of me, and Lin Ruoyan instantly came back from the illegitimate flower and became angry.

The man continued to frown gracefully, "If you guessed correctly, this hairpin should have been taken by the girl from the makeup box."

Lin Ruoyan choked and then retorted with his neck, "What evidence do you have? Is your name written on this hairpin?"

Lin Ruoyan's dead duck in front of him was stubborn and unreasonable. The man was not dissatisfied or indignant at all, but nodded lightly, "Yes."

"What?"

"The name below is indeed written on this hairpin." The man continued to answer calmly.

Lin Ruoyan: “…”

The man continued: "I'm placing an order with the word Feng, and the end of the hairpin should be engraved with a seal script Feng."

While speaking, he had already taken out his hairpin from his sleeve and handed it politely to Lin Zhaoyan.

He checked Lin Zhaoyan to prevent Lin Ruoyan from taking away the hairpin.

Lin Zhaoyan took the hairpin and looked carefully. The character "Feng" was engraved at the end, which was Xiaozhuan, and he was not wrong.

"Yeah, there is indeed." Lin Zhaoyan said to Lin Ruoyan.

Lin Ruoyan continued: "..."

The man raised his lips, smiled, and then reached out to ask Lin Zhaoyan that he wanted to pass the hairpin.

Lin Zhaoyan returned with both hands and said "sorry" to Lin Ruoyan.

The man didn't care.

Lin Ruoyan pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling like he was caught on the spot. That was nothing!

"You are the troupe you invited?" Lin Ruoyan raised his head and looked at him arrogantly, swearing to break back to the city. "Look at your appearance, a flower actress? Humph, not only do you not look like a man, but you are also so sissy!"

Lin Zhaoyan was so angry that he quickly pulled her and signaled her to leave quickly.

The man still looked gentle and elegant, just looking at them with a smile.

Lin Ruoyan encountered a soft nail and had no way to vent his temper. His pretty face turned red.

"Hey, you've arrived!" The atmosphere was stiff. Liu Mingyu's voice suddenly came in from outside the door.

"Fourth Girl?" The man turned around and showed a look of surprise. "Does the Fourth Girl know these two girls?"

Liu Mingyu nodded repeatedly, "They are the two cousins ​​I want to introduce to you! Why, you already know each other?"

"I don't know!" Lin Ruoyan snorted arrogantly, still hiding a grudge against the man's hatred for snatching his hairpin.

The man naturally would not have the same knowledge as Lin Ruoyan, and said with a smile: "I just said one or two words." He turned around and bowed to Lin Zhaoyan and Lin Ruoyan, "I was just abrupt, and I hope the two girls will forgive me."

Lin Ruoyan continued to hum.

Lin Zhaoyan was secretly surprised. It turned out that this one was the male actress Liu Mingyu mentioned. The one Liu * liked.

She subconsciously looked at Liu * beside Liu Mingyu, and saw that her cheeks were dyed with bright redness, her watery eyes were hidden in the autumn waves, and she obviously looked like a young girl who had just begun to fall in love.

Putting aside the identity of this male actress, his appearance and temperament are indeed a good target for a girl to have a love for her youth.

Unlike Xiao Qi, his stinky virtue seems to be something that someone else has owe him for eight lifetimes.

Sure enough, her vision is still too bad...

Stop!

Why did you think of him again?

Lin Zhaoyan wanted to smash his head in annoyed manner.

"Oh, since you know each other, let's make friends. Both of my cousins ​​are very good." Liu Mingyu looked so smart that he could see the clues at a glance. She didn't want to pick them up. She said directly to Lin Ruoyan: "Young Master Fengqing is also a first-class good person. You make friends. He may be able to help you when he arrives in Shengjing in the future!"

If a brothel girl or a troupe actor can make a look like a person, it must be related to it.

As for the unspoken rules, they have existed from ancient times to the present.

Young Master Fengqing nodded with a smile.

Lin Zhaoyan had no objection. He had many friends and many ways, but now he seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he might need help one day.

Lin Ruoyan still looked arrogant and muttered: "Whoever wants him to help, maybe who will help whom then!"

Seeing this, Liu Mingyu didn't plan to let them say anything else, so he quickly got to the point, "Young Master Fengqing, my seventh sister has something important to you, I just sent everyone in your opera troupe away, but I guess I'll be back soon, and it will be delayed for a quarter of an hour, right?"

Young Master Feng Qing was used to seeing big scenes, how could he not understand Liu*’s little daughter’s thoughts? He was also very confident that he could handle this matter well, so he nodded and agreed.

Liu Mingyu took Lin Zhaoyan and Lin Ruoyan out.

Lin Ruoyan was still in anger, "Fourth Cousin, is this the actress you said? I don't think it's half as good as you brag about!"

Liu Mingyu naturally knew who Lin Ruoyan was, so he asked: "Why, what are you fighting with him?"

"He stole my hairpin!" Lin Ruoyan answered fiercely.

Lin Zhaoyan finally understood what it means to talk lies with open eyes.

She helped Young Master Feng Qing explain, "That's originally someone else's, and the words are engraved on it."

"But that was made by Xin Niang! Xin Niang is from our family, why did she give him a hairpin? She must have made a mistake!" Lin Ruoyan shouted.

"Xin Niang?" Liu Mingyu frowned, "You said Xin Niang gave Mr. Feng Qing a hairpin?"

"Yes! So beautiful, I've tried my best!"

"Why don't I know they know each other?" Liu Mingyu frowned strangely, "Young Master Feng Qing has never mentioned Xin Niang in front of me."

"Who knows!" Lin Ruoyan replied angrily, thinking that you don't know many things, but the third aunt hasn't figured it out yet!

Liu Mingyu was struggling for a while, but he didn't find any good news, so he put away his thoughts and said to them: "The banquet is about to start. As you two are important people today, you must not be absent, especially Zhao'er, who has to tell you to kiss you!" As he said that, he threw a charming look at Lin Zhaoyan.

Lin Zhaoyan has a headache, don’t mention this to her.

The banquet was indeed about to begin. The ladies and girls from all the palaces had already left their seats.

After Lin Zhaoyan and the others arrived, they were arranged to sit in the main seat and sit with the ladies.

Liu Mingyu was unfortunately assigned to the same seat with other girls.

But Xin Niang was arranged to sit in the same place with them.

Mrs. Liu said that Xin Niang had never officially introduced her to the public. She took advantage of the time when the wives of each mansion were there to give Xin Niang a name and officially announced that this was the girl from the Liu family in Yanling.

Lin Zhaoyan admires Mrs. Liu's open-mindedness and optimism very much.

If this is for Old Mrs. Lin, hehe, thank God if you don’t hide you or even kill you secretly!

It may be the first time that Xin Niang appeared in such a formal occasion, and she seemed a little nervous and restrained. When Mrs. Liu introduced her to her wives, she only nodded and shook her head, and didn't dare to say anything more, but she received a favorable praise of being calm and quiet.

After all, everyone present is the original wife, and they have an instinctive rejection and disgust towards the daughter of the outdoor room. If you are as obedient as Xin Niang, you can still accept it. If you are too good at doing things, you are too clever, then wait for suppression!

This is different from birth and you have to be matched with different personalities.

Most of the lives of those young ladies and maids have no good ending. The most classic example is Qingwen, who is more concerned than the sky and her life is thinner than paper.

Therefore, as long as Xin Niang can control herself and be content with herself, don’t make meaningless delusions, she will not live too badly in an environment like the Liu family.

If you are afraid, you will be afraid, and you will have an infatuation you shouldn't have.

The banquet began, and the ladies' attention was also diverted, and Xin Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Xin Niang, I just saw you in the front yard. What have you been doing?" Lin Ruoyan suddenly approached and asked her.

Xin Niang's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Lin Ruoyan with a little horror.

Lin Ruoyan blinked and looked innocent. "Don't look at me like this, it's so cunning. I didn't say anything about you."

Only then did Xin Niang realize that she had overreacted. She quickly lowered her head and said, "No, nothing, I'm just, I'm bored and go out for a walk."

"Oh." Lin Ruoyan pretended to realize suddenly, but she didn't believe it. This Xin Niang must have had any unknown secrets from the sissy in the opera troupe.

We were always happy during the meal, and we chatted about various topics. After the topic was finished, we almost used the dishes.

Mrs. Liu ordered the servants to withdraw the banquet, and then served tea, snacks, candied fruits, and other things to help digestion, and said to everyone: "Today, you are rare to come and support me, a good grandson. I don't care about the grand show. I just invited the opera troupe of Pinxuanju to sing. Please be as casual as you like to listen to. The more lively the better. The most important thing is to go back with your fun!"

The ladies hurriedly responded with a smile. After complimenting while speaking, a maid came up with a playbook and asked everyone to arrange the play.

The first play was ordered by Mrs. Liu, who called Xiaogantian.

The story tells that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zheng Zhuang Duke Xian was favored by his mother, Empress Jiang, and the mother and son were in harmony. Later, Empress Gong Shu Duo broke into chaos in the capital. Mr. Zhuang demoted Empress Jiang to Yingdi and vowed that "it was not as good as the Yellow Spring and there was no meeting with each other."

But after the incident changed, Duke Zhuang deeply regretted it. After Ying Kaoshu mediated, he dug the ground to see his mother, and responded to the oath of "meeting each other in the underworld" and welcomed her back to the capital.

Any older elder likes to talk about filial piety and uses the mouths of actors to express their ideas to give them a warning to the younger generation.

Although Mrs. Liu had never encountered any unfilial descendants, it was an indisputable fact that she favored Mr. Liu back then. She was often dissatisfied with this. The situation did not improve until the second wife and his family moved to Beijing.

Lin Zhaoyan heard that because of Liu Wenxuan's incident, his second uncle was hit too hard, and he might apply for a transfer order to return to Yanling with the court. At that time, the family would live in the same place. He looked up and saw him. Mrs. Liu was reminding the eldest wife Jiang.

Sure enough, the eldest wife Jiang's face changed, but fortunately she quickly recovered as usual.
