Chapter 89(1/2)
Provoking
Wen Youyou can't go to the Lin Mansion every day. After all, she only had a engagement with the eldest son of the Lin family and had not yet gotten married. What's the point of running to the other person's mansion every day?
Most of the time, she had to stay in the mansion and learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and girl with cousin Ruohua.
Mrs. Hou specially invited a female master to come to Hou’s house to teach them, and she could rest once every six days.
"Cousin, it's so boring to sit here all day long. I want to go to Lin Mansion to find him." After the Master left, Wen Youyou held her chin with her hands in fists, looking depressed.
Of course Gu Ruohua knew who the person she was looking for was.
She stopped writing and smiled helplessly at Wen Youyou, "How can I go find it every day? Are you not afraid of being told about it?"
"Even if I can't go to find him, even if I'm allowed to go to the horse farm to play. I'm almost bored in the mansion all day long." Wen Youyou waved the paper and pen to the side, lying on the table and pouting.
Before, my mother thought she was not like a lady from a family, so she deliberately detained her and refused to let her go to the horse farm to practice riding and shooting, and even transferred the master who taught her martial arts.
So now she can only be trapped in the yard. She either embroidered flowers or read and practiced calligraphy all day long, and she was so bored.
"Don't you want to embroider a veil for him? Look at your current embroiderer, can you take advantage of it?" Gu Ruohua took out a flower band from the small basket next to Wen Youyou's seat.
Except for the red color of the peonies embroidered on it, there is no characteristic of the peony at all.
Large buns of irregular petals stacked together, not like peonies, but like some kind of ghost that can eat, and are opening their bloody mouths for dinner.
Wen Youyou's cheeks turned red, and she felt embarrassed to take back her flower bandage.
She stared at the embroidered patterns for a while, then looked at the lifelike snow plum blossoms on her cousin's flower band, and suddenly felt that her cousin's words made sense.
Lin Ju may be disgusted when she sees such an ugly veil.
If other women secretly gave him a veil and compared the two, wouldn't they lose completely?
No, you must not let such a thing happen.
"You're right. I have to learn embroidery while I'm going to give him the best-looking veil."
Wen Youyou nodded seriously, her whole body full of fighting spirit.
Seeing that she had not proposed to play in the past few days, Mrs. Hou was very pleased when she stayed in the house to embroider the flowers.
It seems that the teacher was not invited this time, and Youyou finally looked like a lady.
After embroidering for more than half a month, Wen Youyou finally embroidered a handkerchief that barely satisfies him.
She gave the handkerchief to Ruohua's cousin, who glanced at him and said, "Put the flower bandage over and I'll take a look."
Gu Ruohua is holding embroidery thread in his hand now and can't make any move.
Wen Youyou turned the flower bandage as she said, revealing a messy line below, and the threads of various colors were wrapped together.
For those who are so embroidered like Gu Ruohua, the embroidered handkerchief is not only beautiful on the front, but also has other patterns on the back, so it will not look messy at all.
But Wen Youyou couldn't do this, it would be very hard for her to embroider the front as if it was.
"How is it? Do you think he will like it?" Wen Youyou bit her lower lip nervously, even more nervous than when facing the Master's assessment.
"Well, it's not bad, it's improved compared to before." Gu Ruohua nodded.
Although this is only her level when she was just learning embroidery, it has made a great progress for Wen Youyou.
After receiving the praise from my cousin, Wen Youyou felt a lot of confidence and looked forward to going to Lin Mansion in a few days.
It is a sunny day and the weather is bright, making it a good day for travel.
Wen Youyou said to her mother, and then took a carriage with her cousin to Lin Mansion.
When I thought about seeing Lin Ju again soon, Wen Youyou didn’t sleep well last night. She also spent several nights to embroider the veil, but now her eyes are blue.
"Cousin, what if he doesn't want to accept it?" she asked nervously.
Gu Ruohua frowned and shook his head gently, "I don't know this."
She only liked Lin Cheng alone, and the other party also happened to like her.
They were in love with each other, and they usually gave sachets and veils, which were natural, and they never encountered any unwillingness to accept them.
Wen Youyou thought for a long time but didn't think of a solution. She said to herself: "Oh, don't care, I'll force it to him if he doesn't want it."
Seeing her distressed look, Gu Ruohua couldn't help but bend her lips.
She felt that her cousin was so cute that there must be no man in this world who would refuse.
As soon as I arrived at the Lin Mansion, I saw Lin Cheng who was practicing swordsmanship. Wen Youyou pushed his cousin to him and couldn't wait to go to the west yard.
She walked forward with a veil in her arms, and as she walked, she suddenly thought of many shortcomings.
The handkerchief my cousin gave Lin Cheng was packed in a delicate box, but she brought it over directly on her body. Will this not be taken seriously enough?
Thinking about it carefully, the simplest pattern she embroidered is the simplest bamboo. When Lin Ju sees it, she feels that she is not sincere?
Originally, Wen Youyou wanted to embroider a pattern of ties and express her feelings implicitly, but she couldn't learn it anyway, so she could only settle for the second best and chose a relatively simple one.
Lin Ju planted green bamboo in the yard. He should like bamboo very much, right?
Wen Youyou was thinking all the way, and unknowingly walked past the place, almost walking out of the west gate of Lin Mansion.
Lin Ju was studying military books, but after he learned that the Miss Hou's Mansion came to visit, he couldn't read the books in his hand.
I waited around, but I didn't wait for the familiar figure.
Seeing Lin Ju's uneasyness, An Zhi vaguely guessed what he was thinking and whispered: "Young Master, I just saw the second lady passing by the door and didn't come in."
Lin Ju frowned and suddenly tightened the pages in her hand. The force was too strong and almost crushed the paper.
Did she come to him just a whim?
Have you given up so quickly?
She has been spoiled since she was a child and must have never been treated so coldly. It is understandable that she feels bored and retreats.
Fortunately, he didn't stay in the study, but ran to the garden to read the book.
Thinking about it, my behavior is really ridiculous.
It must be because I haven't had a good rest recently, so I was so confused.
Just as Lin Ju turned her wheelchair and was about to return to her yard, a mess of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the garden.
Immediately afterwards, the pretty and bright girl ran in.
The Lin Mansion was very big, and she walked out far away without realizing it, and was anxious to see him, so she naturally had to run over.
"Xiao Ju, don't leave first." Wen Youyou saw that he was about to leave as soon as she entered the garden, and she ran even more anxiously.
She spread her arms and stopped him.
"I, I have something to give to you." Wen Youyou ran too fast just now, and her cheeks were flushed and she was panting hard, and she was out of breath.
Lin Ju raised her eyelids and looked at the girl who was blocking her, her heartbeat and slapped her.
What did she do when she runs so fast? Are she in a hurry to see him?
When he thought of this possibility, his heart suddenly became thunderous in his chest, and a heart seemed to fly out of his throat at any time.
Lin Ju held the edge of the wheelchair tightly, and in order not to see her, she deliberately turned her head and refused to look at her.
"No need." He spoke in a cold tone, hoping that this would make her retreat.
But he obviously failed to get what he wanted.
Wen Youyou has recovered a lot now, but her pretty face is still blushed after exercise, and she looks more delicate and bright than usual.
"I specially embroidered a handkerchief for you. You can accept it first and then deal with it any way you want." Wen Youyou took out a handkerchief from her waist seal.
She had folded it, but because she had just run around, the handkerchief had become wrinkled now.
"Why are you wrinkling?" Wen Youyou whispered, quickly folding the veil and handing it to him.
The white and jade-like little hand handed the folded veil in front of him. Lin Ju's heart was hit hard, and some sour and astringent emotions fermented in his heart, making his throat tighten, and it felt like it was indescribable.
The chest is filled with strange emotions, which is something that has never happened before.
Lin Ju forced herself to calm down, her dark eyes were as deep as a cold pond, and she responded coldly: "No."
She is his elder brother's fiancée, and if she accepts her veil, what would it look like?
"No, don't." Wen Youyou finished speaking, and before he could react, he had already stuffed the veil into his hand.
Her warm fingertips accidentally rubbed against his palm, causing a tingling sensation, which spread straight from the palm to the bottom of her heart.
Lin Ju subconsciously tightened her hands and grabbed the handkerchief in her hand.
Unfortunately, he failed to catch her fingertips.
My heart suddenly disappeared.
Wen Youyou thought he liked his veil, and immediately smiled and felt so beautiful.
"I have been embroidering for several days, I hope you like it." The little girl stood in front of him and said softly.
Lin Ju found sharp-eyed and found that there seemed to be several small wounds on her fingertips, which seemed to be pierced from needles.
Wen Youyou used his own embroidered veil in front of him, so he knew how bad her female red was.
