Lin Yunfang was quite surprised when she mentioned Zheng Liu.
"I have a very good relationship with her. She asked me several times if she could play with you. I came back to ask you before and asked you if you were busy." When Lin Yunfang said this, something suddenly occurred to her and she said happily, "She
I sent a post before saying that I was going to have a flower party, would you like to go with me?"
The scorching heat has passed, but the heat has not subsided, so it is really not a good time to appreciate flowers.
The so-called flower party is when girls find an excuse to have fun.
And Lin Yunyan came here just for this one: "Go, of course I want to go."
"She must be happy to know that you are going," Lin Yunfang said happily, then asked, "Speaking of which, didn't the second sister know her before?"
Lin Yunyan curved her lips, and behind her smile was a hint of mockery.
Of course she recognizes Zheng Liu.
Once upon a time, Zheng Liu married Liu Xun, Liu Jing's son, and was Lin Yunyan's "sister-in-law."
The relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family was not harmonious, especially with Liu Jing, Liu Xun and his son. The conflicts were almost written on their faces.
That is to say, there is very little traffic on weekdays, so it seems relatively "peaceful".
Lin Yunyan also had no unnecessary contact with her. Her sister-in-law's surname and character were not kept in her mind at first. But before Zheng Liu became her sister-in-law, Lin Yunyan's most profound impression of this person was "
The villain who framed Yunfang.
Lin Yunfang is good at horse hanging. When she goes out to play with girls of the same age, she often fights.
Zheng Liu is one of Lin Yunfang's poker friends.
But at this flower party, Zheng Liu accused Lin Yunfang of cheating.
On someone else's territory, Zheng Liu spoke with certainty, and there were testimonies nearby, so Lin Yunfang could not argue at all.
That day, Lin Yunfang came back home crying.
"She and I are so close, and I always think of her in every good thing. Why would she frame me?"
"I can't figure it out! Didn't you really mean it before?"
Lin Yunfang insists on her innocence, and her family also believes in her innocence, but no one can prove it.
With such a stigma, you can only compete on the spot. Once you leave the table, nothing can be done.
After that, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and women who were not married came into the palace to say hello to the Empress Dowager.
Grandmother specifically asked Madam Yunyang to clarify Lin Yunfang's matter, but was blocked by the other party.
"Children's things, fighting and making noise, why should we, adults, get involved?"
"Isn't it just a fight? There are winners and losers. Do you, Yunfang, take winning and losing too seriously?"
"I told you about Liu'er later. How can we, sisters who are such good friends, fall out over a quarrel? Yunfang didn't do the right thing. She just told her in private, but in public. No wonder you are anxious, sister."
"Since your family is so insistent, let's take a step back. What's the prize that day? I'll just ask Liuer to give it to Yunfang. It's such a big deal."
There are no curses in every sentence, and good gestures in every sentence, but every sentence is a knife.
How can grandma's face be able to withstand this?
When a smiling person faces a smiling person, how can the little Duan gain the upper hand? She is not good at this either.
Mrs. Xu Guogong also came up and said something like "I won't change my impression of Yun Jing just because of my sister's incident."
Lin Yunyan supported little Duan and wanted to say a few words in reply to Mrs. Yunyang, but she swallowed them all.
In the Cining Palace, her voice was louder and her tone was stronger. She was taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's favor to make unreasonable troubles. Her voice was softer and her words were softer. The old lady's hypocritical coaxing and innuendo would only make people angry.
Their grandparents and grandchildren are becoming more and more passive.
Having no credentials or evidence is their biggest weakness.
The bad reputation has since fallen on Lin Yunfang, and the originally optimistic third sister has stopped laughing since then.
When it was time to talk about marriage, it was difficult to find a good match in Beijing. The young Duan had no choice but to find a junior in the Duan clan. He stressed to that person several times that "careless friendships among women may lead to being framed", so he married her far away.
I am going to Jiangnan, hoping that my granddaughter will be treated well by her parents.
Judging from the final result, this step was taken very well.
The third brother-in-law has a generous and tolerant personality, and the couple get along well with each other. Lin Yunfang is also treated well by relatives in the clan.
Even if Uncle Chengyi's residence is confiscated, he will still protect and care for Lin Yunfang.
Lin Yunyan exchanged letters with her sister several times and felt that her character was much more relaxed than when she was at her lowest.
But none of this can change the fact that Zheng Liu intentionally harmed others.
One winter solstice, Lin Yunyan had to visit the Liu family.
Xu Jian went to Liu Jing's study, where she sat in the corner of the flower hall and warmed herself by the fire.
Because it was a mandarin duck hall, Zheng Liu and Liu Xun didn't notice her when they came in and continued talking warmly.
"I deliberately stuffed the cards under her cushion and called someone over. Her expression at that time was really amazing!"
"Usually I can talk like a kid, but that day I couldn't explain it clearly. It really made me laugh."
"I just hate her. She is a girl from the uncle's house. Why does she dress better than me and spend more than me? Her monthly pocket money is more than twice as much as mine!"
"Who cares that she gave me something? It was her initiative to invite me to tea and snacks, and I didn't ask her."
"She is obviously very good at playing tricks, but she has deliberately lost money to me many times. How can you think there is such a person?! Who wants her to be so hypocritical and pitiful!"
"So, I'll let her go out and make her great!"
Only then did Lin Yunyan know the answer that Yunfang had never understood.
But no matter what she "repays" Zheng Liu, she can't help the indefensible Lin Yunfang.
And now...
Lin Yunyan looked at the cheerful third sister in front of her and asked: "I heard from people that you and Zheng Liu often lose in horse-drawn games. That shouldn't be the case. You win over me and the eldest sister all the time. It can't be me."
Is it too weak?"
Lin Yunfang only smiled but did not answer.
Lin Yunyan would not let her pass easily and asked a few more questions.
"Okay, okay, I said," Lin Yunfang surrendered, "Even though it's an uncle's house, her family is not as good as ours, and she doesn't have as much money as I do.
Let's go out together, and I don't know how to save money, but it doesn't seem good if I invite her back.
I just want to lose to her quietly and treat her as my treat. Anyway, I’m not short of money.
Let's play together, the most important thing is to have fun."
Lin Yunyan sighed secretly in her heart.
It’s not Sanmei’s fault.
She grew up in a wealthy family and was supported by her family. No one in the Lin family had ever blushed for Zhuangzi, a money shop. Naturally, in her eyes, love is more important than gold.
Those who teach the younger generation at home are also "thoughtful" and "generous".
It's just some small money, she can afford it, and doesn't feel it's a burden. Of course, it can't be compared with "Playing Together".
But I didn’t expect that in the eyes of narrow-minded people, her generosity is a show off, a charity, and a condescension.
"Do you still want to lose money at this flower party?" Lin Yunyan asked.
"No," Lin Yunfang leaned into her sister's ear and said, "I won't pay any money this time, but there is another bonus. It's a copy of the paintings from Jing'an Academy, which I want very much."
It turned out to be for Lin Yunding.
Gently pinching Lin Yunfang's cheek, Lin Yunyan smiled at her: "Go and win the tracing book back."
