Chapter 24 Talking Hearts
Lin Jinming subconsciously felt that it was Lin Zhaoyan's "cool and charming" dressed in today that attracted Lu Yanzhi's soul, and he became even more resentful towards her.
Lin Ruoyan also bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes feeling unwilling.
"Brother, are you very familiar with this fourth cousin?" A little girl next to her, wearing pink butterflies and golden wool, couldn't help but ask the Ancient Scrolls curiously.
She is Lu Yanzhi's legitimate sister Lu Peizhi.
Lu Yanzhi reached out and touched her head, smiled and doting, but did not answer her question, but said, "When you were in Lin'an, you always complained that there were no sisters at home to play with you. Now when you are in the capital, you are very happy with so many sisters present?"
"Happy!" Lu Peizhi replied without hesitation.
Lu Yanzhi laughed again, "How about we often come to Lin Mansion Wan from now on?"
"Okay!" Lu Peizhi clapped his hands, blinked his eyes and said in confusion: "But I'm here to play with my sisters, where are you, brother?"
Although a foreign man is a relative, after all, it is always inappropriate for him to come after being unprepared for men and women.
Lu Yanzhi only smiled but didn't answer, but Lin Zhaoyan clearly captured the bitterness that flashed in his eyes.
She felt even more strange.
After that, Lu Yanzhi's servant indeed sent the cloak over. Lin Zhaoyan thanked him and took it, but did not put it on. Instead, he asked Manshuang to hold it in his hand and planned to return it to him as soon as he went back.
Lu Yanzhi didn't mind, and then stopped paying attention to her. He focused on enjoying the snow scene in the yard. He occasionally said a few words to Lin Jinming or Lin Ruoyan, but he kept smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Fortunately, Lu Peizhi's active atmosphere was always harmonious.
After a while, the Hongying beside the old lady called everyone back.
When stepping into Rongshou Hall, Lin Zhaoyan secretly ordered Manshuang to return the cloak to the servant beside Lu Yanzhi, and he and his sisters quickly entered the room.
She didn't want to be related to this bright moon in the sky. They were not the same type of people, and even ordinary friends could not do it.
After lunch, the group of people from Duke Cheng's mansion resigned. Lin Zhaoyan had already returned to Qinfang Pavilion and did not see him off.
The bright moon hangs high, and candles lit up in Qinfang Pavilion, with light and shadows casting slender silhouettes on the blue gauze tent that rained through the sky.
Manhua was tidying up the copper basin and handkerchief for washing.
Manshuang took off Lin Zhaoyan's middle clothes and laceped up, served her to bed and sleep. He then took the white porcelain open bowl with silver silk on the pinewood rocks next to him, and said, "Girl, this is the rushing soup sent by Sister Hongying beside the old lady. It is said that it will be better after drinking it and sleeping for a night."
Lin Zhaoyan took it and raised his head to drink.
The mouth was bitter, like the slight smile when Lu Yanzhi looked at her.
"When it comes to this young master Lu is not only beautiful, but also has a first-class heart and talent. The strange thing is that the third and fifth girls are about to pounce on him."
Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, handed the empty bowl over, and said, "This matter has not been done yet. Don't talk nonsense in the future, it will ruin the reputation of the fifth sister."
"I understand." Manshuang stopped talking and was about to retreat with an empty bowl, but Lin Zhaoyan grabbed his wrist.
"You two will sleep with me tonight. We may not have spoken ourselves for a long time."
Man lowered his eyes and saw Lin Zhaoyan showing a child-like aggrieved face, he couldn't help but laugh and nodded in response.
She knew that the girl must have had some terrible nightmare last night, otherwise she would not have drunk the sensation tea and was still so scared.
After packing up, Manhua brought two quilts into the house, and while making the bed, he joked: "Fortunately this is a cold day, and the three of them are not crowded together. I still remember that one summer, the girl also asked us to accompany her. That would be a pain to read the full text of the Flowers Bloom America!"
Lin Zhaoyan bent his lips and felt warm in his heart.
She also remembered that time, it was the first time she dreamed of a prophecy about death. She didn't take it seriously, but the next day the man died. She was frightened and forced Manshuang and Manhua to sleep with her that night.
If someone is with her, she will not be able to dream.
Although the two girls, Manshuang and Manhua, were assigned to her by Liu, they were loyal to her. Over the past eight years, they have taken care of her in every detail. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have had such a comfortable life.
Manshuang cut the candles and left only a glass lamp in the corner of the house to emit bright jade light.
In the darkness, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't sleep well. He opened his eyes and looked at the blue curtain above his head, and many things that happened during the day passed in his mind.
What surprised her was that what impressed her most was not what Liu Wenxuan confessed to her, but Lu Yanzhi's sad and affectionate eyes.
Why did he look at her with that look?
After biting his lip, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't think of it, so he didn't let himself think about it anymore. When she thought about Liu Wenxuan, she asked the two maids, "You guys say, would it be fine if I marry Wenxuan's cousin?"
The two girls were shocked.
"Girl, do you like the young master of cousin?" In Man's eyes, her own girl was just a child. Although she was steady, she was a little dull and dull when she fell in love. Whenever she talked to her about marriage, she always avoided her perfunctorily. Why did she suddenly ask this question?
"I think it's because Master Cousin likes girls." Manhua is more transparent and intelligent. Today, Master Cousin went out with the girl and the fifth girl alone, but later the fifth girl came back early. It must be because Master Cousin said something to the girl, otherwise the girl would not have thought about this.
Lin Zhaoyan pursed his lips and told them all the things that Liu Wenxuan said to her today.
Manshuang and Manhua both widened their eyes.
"Young Master Chou really said that?" Manshuang turned around, stared at Lin Zhaoyan's face, and said excitedly: "Young Master Chou is a good person. Although his uncle's wife is powerful, she is also good. If a girl can marry Youth Master Chou, her life will definitely be better than now!"
Manhua also said: "Yes, Young Master Chou can think about the girl like this, probably because he has put his heart into it. Such sincerity can really not be disappointed."
Lin Zhaoyan understood this truth.
"I also know that marrying Wenxuan's cousin is a success. My mother didn't love me before, so I never thought that she would let me marry my nephew. But when I saw what my mother meant today, I was afraid that I couldn't bear to say anything, so I thought about it. Although this original intention was not good, I was very satisfied."
Man's nose was a little sour, "What are the words of the girl? You are not a substitute for the fifth girl, you are unique. It is Master Cast to see your goodness, it is him who likes you and asks to marry you. You are the best, and it is worthy of Master Cast to take care of you."
Lin Zhaoyan turned around and wiped away the tears from her cheeks with a smile, "Why are you crying? You're so wronged? No matter how my mother treats me, at least cousin Wenxuan is sincere, which is enough for me."
If she gets married, then Liu will be just a bumpy period of years for her. After she has passed, it will not be worth mentioning.
