040 Surprise
After the remaining people stood there and stared for a while, they couldn't help but feel frustrated——
They couldn't judge anything from the expressions of Mrs. Lin. Except for Lin Shijia, who maintained a somewhat stiff smile, the other three had friendly, decent, reserved and elegant expressions from beginning to end.
, there is almost no change at all. In this way, who can see what they are thinking?
Lin Yijia asked Feng Yanyun: "Cousin, don't you know Miss Liu?"
Feng Mengyun shook his head and said: "As you know, I haven't gone out much for more than a year. Before last year, this Miss Liu didn't seem to have attended any banquets. Well, she should have been still young at that time.
"
This statement...
Generally speaking, the more noble a daughter of Shengjing is, for example, the fourth rank or above and the eldest daughter of a scholarly family, the earlier she has to go out and socialize. A very few smart ones will start socializing when they are eight years old, and most of them are ten years old.
They will appear in front of others and show themselves off. Generally speaking, those ladies who are not highly expected by their families will start to go out for walks when they are twelve years old. In this way, after two or three years, when they reach the age of hairpins, they will
Able to successfully arrange a marriage and prepare for marriage. This is the case with Feng Mengyun.
Of course, there are also girls in the second room of the Lin family who are delayed because they do not have outstanding elders to guide them, but such cases are rare after all. At least this is not the case for Miss Liu. Moreover, Miss Liu's body looks very good.
Healthy, not like someone who has been ill for a long time and has deficiencies...
"Cousin, you are not kind." Lin Minjia did not accept Feng Yanyun's trick. She curled her lips and said: "You are so young, you think we don't understand anything, don't you? Cousin, my mother asked you to take us, not just to let us go.
You fooled us like this."
Feng Yanyun was slightly embarrassed, then laughed at himself and said, "I'm used to it, haha."
She shook her head and said: "This Liu Yingluo, the legitimate daughter of the concubine, plus the grudges of the elders... Anyway, it is the disputes in the back house that caused Mrs. Shangshu of the Liu family not to want to see her in this room. It is actually meaningless to say it. But.
, This Liu Yingluo is really powerful. She can seize opportunities on her own without the care of her elders. But it also depends on whether Mrs. Shangshu is willing to help her..."
"But just now, Mrs. Liu was very nervous about her?" Lin Changjia was confused.
"The daughter of the Liu family made a mistake and lost the face of the Liu family. Of course Madam Liu must be nervous." Feng Mengyun pursed her lips, paused for a while, and then said: "However, in her situation, it is not necessary to be in the limelight like she is today.
That's a good thing...Three years ago, there was a concubine from an official family who stole the show at the first banquet. After that..."
Feng Mengyun stopped and stopped talking.
"What happened next?" Lin Minjia asked.
"After that..." Feng Mengyun glanced at Liu Yingluo who was smiling decently over there, and said in a low voice: "After that, she never appeared in front of others. When someone asked, the family only said that she was sick and wanted to
Recuperate...Finally, I occasionally heard someone mention that she was married to an old county magistrate as her stepmother..."
After the words fell, several people did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Lin Yinjia asked with difficulty: "How old is the old county magistrate?"
Feng Mengyun did not answer immediately. She lowered her head and looked at a moon-white chrysanthemum in front of her, and slowly and with great effort uttered a few words: "The year of sixty."
sixty……
The girls of the Lin family subconsciously rejected this understanding. They felt as if they had stayed up for several nights in the late autumn frost, and their faces suddenly turned pale and green. It was Lin Yijia who had experienced many decades of life, but in those ten years
She also lives in a very small world and has never been exposed to or heard of such things.
Flower Armor and Flower Letter...this...
Until Mrs. Lin came back with Lin Huijia and Lin Shijia, few of them could feel relieved.
"Mom, can we go back?" Lin Minjia suddenly grabbed Mrs. Lin and hugged Mrs. Lin's arm tightly.
Mrs. Lin could tell at a glance that the expressions of several people were not quite right, and immediately said: "Well, let's go home." After that, she said gently: "Well, come on, everyone take a deep breath, smile, and we will share the master's feelings.
I said hello and went home."
Mrs. Lin led them away like this. After only walking a few steps, several girls looked at each other and stopped. Lin Minjia shook her head and said to Mrs. Lin: "Mom, we are fine, we still don't want to leave."
Alright."
Mrs. Lin has a mission.
The men of the Lin family didn't say anything, but Lin Shijia couldn't be delayed - they had just heard about Yi Zhuang's tragic marriage, how could they be willing to let Lin Shijia miss a good opportunity because of themselves?
"Yes, uncle, let's not leave for now." Lin Yinjia also said: "aunt, you and your two sisters are busy, let's go with our cousin to find a place to rest in the back garden. We're fine, that's all
My feet hurt after standing for a long time.”
"Yes, mother, we usually take a lunch break at this time." Lin Minjia covered her face with a handkerchief and yawned: "I'm not used to it."
Although she knew that the girls were not telling the truth, since they said so... Mrs. Lin looked at them carefully, nodded, and said: "Okay, you go to the back garden. There are many pavilions there, and
The rooms designed for guests to rest are all well-appointed.”
The women nodded in agreement.
After crossing the Moon Gate and turning around the screen wall, the beautiful scenery that came into view shocked several people.
First there is a large sea of moon-white chrysanthemums dotted with goose yellow, squeezing one after another and bursting into people's eyes! They are next to each other, and strive to open their petals upwards, putting their last
The beautiful side is shown, so ordinary and so beautiful!
"This can be called a sea of flowers." Lin Yijia was stunned for a while and sighed: "It's such a pity that my brother can't see such beautiful scenery!"
"Yes, yes!" Lin Minjia also said: "However, it is not easy for him to draw such beauty with fine brushwork. Well... ink and wash is not very good at expressing it..."
"Yes, yes." Lin Yijia tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded heavily and said: "We should use the Western oil painting method of pointillism."
"Western painting?" Feng Mengyun asked curiously.
"Western paintings..."
The few of them were momentarily shocked by the sea of flowers, and they just stood behind the screen wall and started talking. And because there was no one else around them, they didn't deliberately lower their voices.
But they forgot for a moment that the screen wall behind them could block sight but not sound.
So, when Song Jie and Yang Guangbei passed by, they couldn't help but paused before continuing to move forward and leave.
"Brother Nanshan, how about Western paintings?" Yang Guangbei asked.
