The story of Princess Changmin's meeting and conversation with Lin Zhu quickly spread to the ears of the ladies and gentlemen attending the garden party.
The young men were all fine. After asking around, no one knew Lin Zhu or her identity. She was probably the daughter of an unknown family, so they didn't pay too much attention to her, except for Du Bin and Dong Wenbo, but they
The people were very tacit and did not reveal Lin Zhu's identity.
But those ladies were different. Lin Zhu's appearance caused an uproar in their circle, and they all asked about which family she was from and what her origins were.
Among these people, there were two groups of people who knew Lin Zhu. One group was the ladies of the Lin family, and the other group was Qi Ziyun, Dong Yuyao and others.
Qi Ziyun clutched the handkerchief tightly, twisting it in her hand until it was wrinkled, while Dong Yuyao also had an expression of disbelief on her face, thinking she had heard wrongly.
"Sister Yuyao, who is this Lin Zhu, and why does he even know Princess Changmin?" Qi Ziyun asked, suppressing her temper. If it weren't for Dong Yuyao's role, Qi Ziyun would not want to pay attention to her at all. Her sister is more useful than her.
.
"Sister Qi, when she was in Song County, she was just a country girl. She only had a few acres of land." Dong Yuyao's mind was also confused.
Qi Ziyun looked down on Dong Yuyao even more, and thought to herself, if it was really just a few acres more land, how could she know so many people? Zhang Manyun of the Zhang family also knew her, and Wang Qingyan of the Wang family was even friends with her.
"However, she seems to have recognized some kind of godfather. His surname is Zhang, and he is a doctor." Dong Yuyao thought for a while and then said.
"Really?" Qi Ziyun frowned and looked at her.
"Yes." Dong Yuyao saw that Qi Ziyun's face looked a little bad and nodded quickly, "I heard what my father said."
"So that's it." It makes sense that Lin Zhu and Zhang Manyun have a good relationship. Everyone knows that the Zhang family where Zhang Manyun lives is a family of imperial doctors. Since becoming an official, Dr. Zhang likes to travel around the world.
Stay home less. If it's really him, then it's possible to get to know Lin Zhu.
The Zhang family and the Wang family are related by marriage. It makes sense that Lin Zhu knew the Wang family.
Qi Ziyun felt a little relieved, but she secretly decided in her heart that she must find an opportunity to talk to Dong Yuzhen and Lin Zhu. Maybe they could get into the Wang family through them.
Dong Yuyao naturally had no way of knowing Qi Ziyun's little thoughts, but she secretly felt that Qi Ziyun was not treating her as well as before. He would show her some expressions from time to time. You must know that although Dong Jisheng's official position was not high, he was once the head of a county.
Dong Yuyao was his favorite, so she had a somewhat eldest lady temperament.
Coupled with Mrs. Liu's teachings and advice from time to time, Dong Yuyao is actually more scheming than she appears on the surface. Moreover, she even has the idea of Dong Yuzhen. In her opinion, following Dong Yuzhen is better than Qi Ziyun, and she has more opportunities to get to know the upper class.
person.
I didn't see Dong Yuzhen following Lin Zhu. I was able to see Princess Changmin and talk to her for a few words. They were all members of the same family. Dong Yuzhen had no reason not to help her.
Dong Yuyao made a good calculation, but she didn't think about how Liu and herself treated Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen before and now. It was destined that her wish would not be realized.
On the other hand, the Lin sisters were also discussing Lin Zhu.
"This girl Lin Zhu is really lucky." Lin Qinglan said with a smile. She and her sisters were sitting together. They were tired from walking in the garden. They got together to take a rest. Then they mentioned the lucky person in the news just now.
Lin Zhu. “I didn’t expect that she could talk to Princess Changmin.”
Although the Lin family is well-off, they cannot easily meet Princess Changmin.
"Huh." Lin Qingxue was in a bad mood. She couldn't help but snorted and mumbled, "It's just bad luck."
"So what if I meet the princess? I'm still a jerk." Lin Qingping said jealously.
"By the way, that cousin Yuzhen is actually with her." Lin Qingxue seemed to be thinking about it, "Didn't my aunt still come to our house and beg me to take her with me? I wonder why I didn't beg for mercy later. It turns out that I found the guide.
I'm dead." Lin Qingxue said sourly.
In the Lin family, except for the fourth eldest Lin Jiqiu, who has a good relationship with Dong Yuzhen's mother Lin Jiqiu, the others are only in general. So those ladies don't have much friendship with Mrs. Lin. After all, Mrs. Lin is there, and the old lady doesn't like it.
Mrs. Lin, as a daughter-in-law, it is natural not to be too close to her.
In fact, it would be okay for the Lin family to take Dong Yuzhen with them to the garden party this time. Mrs. Lin also had an attitude of taking her with her or not. Just when the second lady was about to propose bringing Dong Yuzhen with her, Lin Qingxue's mother, the third lady Zhao, said that she should take her with her.
It's not easy to introduce him to other people with similar family backgrounds. After all, Dong Yuzhen's father's official position is too low.
She looked down upon the concubine Mrs. Lin, so she naturally did not want to bring her daughter with her and drag her own daughter down.
Since some people disagreed, Mrs. Lin agreed, so no matter how many times Mrs. Lin went there later, she always returned without success.
None of the ladies from the Lin family here knew that they couldn't take Dong Yuzhen with them because Zhao was behind it. So when Lin Qingxue said this, everyone else looked at her with an unknown meaning.
Lin Qingxue felt a fever on her face for a moment, as her words just now contained a hint of jealousy.
Now everyone is thinking that if they had brought Dong Yuzhen along with them, given the relationship between Dong Yuzhen and Lin Zhu, they might have been able to have a close encounter with Princess Changmin.
"Okay, Princess Changmin might just be curious for a moment, so she just said a few words to Miss Lin Zhu. You don't need to pay too much attention to it." After all, Lin Qinglan is older and can see more clearly than them, although she also envies Lin Zhu.
Although she has good luck, she doesn't think much about how her relationship with Princess Changmin can get better.
"Second sister is right." Lin Qingxue nodded quickly. She thought so from head to toe.
Others have nothing to say, and they hope so in their hearts. People are selfish. Who doesn’t want such a good thing to happen to them? Once it happens to others, people instinctively don’t take it seriously.
Think positive.
"However, I didn't expect that Miss Lin Zhu would be so close to the Wang family and the Zhang family." Lin Qinglan thought more than the other Lin family girls. The Lin family and the Wang family did not have much interaction with each other, but it did not prevent them from knowing each other's situation.
.
The more disgusted the two are, the more they will pay attention to each other's affairs. The Lin and Wang families are in this state now.
"Wang Qingyan now dares to leave the house." Everyone in the capital knew that the only young lady of the Wang family had a problem with her face and did not dare to go out to meet people.
But today, it really shocked all the ladies in the capital. Wang Qingyan's face was not as miserable as before, but was rosy. Her skin was fair and shiny, as if it was shining through light. It was very eye-catching. In addition,
Her appearance, which was not bad to begin with, was even more radiant.
"Now that the problem on her face has been solved, it's natural for her to go out." Lin Qinglan didn't care. What she cared about was, who made her become like this? All the doctors and doctors in the capital were hired by the Wang family.
I tried everything but still couldn't find a solution to the problem. It was solved quietly without any news being revealed.
If it had been cured by a famous doctor in the capital, it would have been widely publicized long ago.
Lin Qingxue was even more jealous of Wang Qingyan's good looks. She was one of the most beautiful people in the Lin family and even in the capital city, but today she was outshone by Wang Qingyan. She was originally a proud and arrogant person, but now she was holding back her breath.
I feel an indescribable discomfort in my chest.
Lin Qinglan looked at the other sisters who kept talking about Lin Zhu's topic. Lin Qingxue looked like she was gnashing her teeth. She sighed in her heart.
"If you want to know what Princess Chang Min said to Miss Lin Zhu, just ask her face to face when you meet her later. Our family also knows her."
"Second sister, this is inappropriate." Lin Qingxue retorted, "Look at her, a country girl. She stole the show today. If we go further, who knows what will happen in the capital tomorrow? But
Don't let people say that if we please a country girl, we will lose the face of the Lin family." Lin Qingxue's words were not pleasant.
But other people understood the meaning. The more powerful a family like the Lin family is, the more cautious the family members must be in doing things. The farther away they are from implementing things, the better.
"No matter what happens, we have to let her come and say hello to us first." Lin Qingxue's remarks made the ladies of the Lin family wake up instantly. For the sake of the face of the ladies of the aristocratic family, they must be reserved.
"Forget it, you can do whatever you want." Lin Qinglan waved her hand. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Qingxue's words. Her identity was there and she couldn't follow her own will.
In an area far away from Lin Zhu and others, where the men were staying, Du Bin and Dong Wenbo chose a secluded place and talked about Lin Zhu.
"What does Princess Changmin mean?" Dong Wenbo thought for a while and said.
"What do you think, Brother Wenbo? This garden party is prepared for many people's weddings." Du Bin had already told Dong Wenbo the purpose of the garden party.
"There were some things at the garden party that were produced by Miss Lin's family." Dong Wenbo borrowed a lot of money from Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen. He had eaten many of the food sent by Lin Zhu, including of course the new grapes.
.
"Brother Wenbo, what do you mean, Princess Changmin is just curious?" Du Bin raised his eyebrows. He wanted to tell his grandfather about this matter when he returned. He had to think about it.
"I guess it has something to do with someone. Didn't Brother Du say that this garden party was prepared for a marriage? Someone's marriage must be more difficult." Dong Wenbo said with meaning.
"Then Mr. Mu's reputation is not very good." Du Bin said it too politely. Mu Qiyue's reputation made many families who wanted to marry girls avoid him.
"You can often hear rumors about Fourth Young Master Mu. It seems that a lot of people are paying attention to him." Dong Wenbo and Du Bin looked at each other, and there was something unspoken in their eyes.
"I heard that Princess Changmin likes this nephew very much. I didn't expect that she would personally handle the marriage arrangements. I must be careful in selecting candidates." Du Bin meant that Lin Zhu was not in Princess Changmin's preparations.
in the selection list.
"Miss Lin is really too young." Dong Wenbo nodded.
The two of them figured out the general outline of the matter in a seemingly nonsensical way. They both felt that the truth of the matter was almost like this.
"Although I have only met Miss Lin for a short time, she seems to be more concerned about making money now." Du Bin thought of the two 'flowers' that Lin Zhu often talked about.
"Haha, that's right. I heard my roommate say before that 'rich flowers' and 'casual flowers' are Miss Lin's two favorite flowers." Dong Wenbo also laughed.
"Hahahaha, I heard that a few days ago." Although both of them are knowledgeable, they don't have the sourness of literati. They don't think there is anything wrong with pursuing money. On the contrary, they think that they have the capital to establish themselves.
Only then can we talk about those poems and songs, and only then can we have the opportunity to realize our dreams.
Lin Zhu, who was at the center of the remarks, was not happy at all because he had spoken a few words with Princess Changmin. Instead, he was a little uneasy. Today's incident will definitely attract some investigation by interested people. No matter what is found, it is not Lin's.
