Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 276

Chapter 280

It rained heavily for several days in a row, just when the wedding was thought to be held in the pouring rain, the weather finally cleared up.Ling Lu came back from the work place, passing by the canopy next to her, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

The heavy rain these days has not been small.

Even with an oiled paper umbrella, the whole body will get wet.

It has been several days for Qing Huan, and she has never stepped out of the main courtyard.The servants were all worried, if one of them didn't pay attention, slipped his foot, and had an accident, they couldn't bear the responsibility.

Under their thoughts, Qing Huan didn't want to go out either.

For one thing, if she goes out for a walk, it will definitely cause panic, and the situation will not be small.Secondly, she is also afraid of rainy days, and there will be some accidents.

In this way, it would be better to stay alone in the yard.

For this reason, when Rong Chen was on business, he went to the bookstore and bought a few books to pass the time. Qing Huan doubled up occasionally, but it was easy to pass in a day.

It's just that on days like this, it's not very good for Lin Yin who is married and the wedding is only a few days away.

According to Youyuan, as a newlywed, Lin Yin should have had a good rest and refreshed her spirit these few days, but she was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night.

But also...

This kind of marriage is not once in a lifetime.

Especially for women.

He Jitong like that is completely a special case, and he is a man.

No matter how many wives a man marries, no one will say anything, but women are different.

Pian Qinghuan can't go out, even if she tries to persuade her, it's not good to invite her over, just for these things, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.

When Linglu returned to the main courtyard, it was already meal time.

Fortunately, Qing Huan sleeps a lot these days, so she always sleeps a little longer before getting up.Ling Lu habitually walked lightly and walked inside.

"Ma'am, you're already awake." Xiang Nong, who happened to come out of the inner room, smiled when he saw it, and said in a low voice, "The weather is good today, it's finally not raining."

Ling Lu nodded.

Presumably it was not for this reason that Madam woke up much earlier than usual.

Ling Lu nodded towards Xiang Nong, pointed to the inner room, and motioned for herself to go in first.Xiang Nong also said: "Sister Linglu just went in, I'll go to the young master."

"The madam said she wanted the young master to come over and have dinner together."

The two of them went in and out, going where they wanted to go.

Linglu lifted the curtain and saw Qing Huan sitting in front of the vanity mirror, hurriedly walked over three times in two steps, and took the ivory comb from her hand.

"Give me a loose style." Qing Huan said with a smile.

Linglu should be, opened the incense box, applied some sweet-scented osmanthus oil, then untied the bun, combed it in twos and twos, and after a while, a chic and beautiful bun appeared.

"You still have good craftsmanship. After all, Qingguo is young, and it's a bit close."

Ling Lu smiled and said: "When you are free, I will teach her." Even if she never gets married, she may not always serve in the inner room, even if she does, the time does not come every time Help comb hair.

Besides, Qing Huan is her master, so Ling Lu naturally likes her master.

Not to mention that Qingguo and Qingli are maidservants selected by her, which are equivalent to apprentices brought out by her.Xiang Nong and You Yuan didn't count, at that time, she and Man Cao were still young.

In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed.

Mancao is married and has a child, and the two met a few days ago, seeing Mancao talking to her brother tenderly with a face, sometimes I feel envious.

It's just... maybe there is no one who can make her marry willingly.

Ling Lu sighed softly, found a few silk flowers, and picked a magnolia to stick behind her ear.

Qing Huan smiled in satisfaction in the mirror.

She doesn't like to carry gold and silver utensils when she is pregnant. Except for going out and dressing neatly, when she is beside her, she either simply bundles her hair or sticks a jade hairpin in it.

Wearing silk flowers like this is also beautiful.

Sure enough... Even if she is married, this woman still loves beauty.

"Ma'am, you look good now." Ling Lu said cheerfully.

Qing Huan asked with a smile: "What's so good about it? Look at my fat body. My double chin is showing. It's double-layered when I smile." She eats and drinks well. Although she has pregnancy symptoms, she will force herself to eat more , eat as much as possible, no, it looks like there is a lot more meat on the face than before.

Rong Chen just likes it very much.

When the husband and wife were sleeping at night, they often saw Rong Chen holding Qing Huan in his arms, pressing Qing Huan's cheeks with his fingertips from time to time.

"I'll see." Ling Lu just smiled.

Qing Huan shook her head, trying to stand up.

Ling Lu hurriedly reached out to help.

Behind Qingguo were several servants, holding trays in their hands.

Seeing Qing Huan come out, he hurriedly asked them to put away the food.

After washing her hands, Qing Huan sat on a chair and looked out the door.

Seeing Ling Lu, she went outside to wait.

"Brother Jin likes to eat japonica rice porridge, let's scoop that." Looking at the two kinds of porridge on the table, Qing Huan pointed to the one on the right, thinking that Brother Jin likes to eat it, mother and son don't eat it often these days together.

Qing Huan missed him.

With his little hands behind his back, Rong Jin walked in figure eight steps, with a straight face, and walked in step by step from the outside. When he reached the table, he continued to bow to him with a solemn face.

"Brother Jin greets mother, mother is good."

A happy smile appeared on Qing Huan's face: "Brother Jin is also good, sit down quickly."

Qingguo helped move the stool.

Rong Jin sat on it, pursed his lips, took the special small bowl and chopsticks, and ate in a calm manner.Such a son was stunned by Qing Huan.

I always knew that he sometimes looks like a small adult, but these years he has gradually become lively, of course, Zhao Yang's credit is a lot of it.But for Qing Huan and his wife, this is a good thing.

This time?
Qing Huan asked the three maids beside her with her eyes.

Ling Lu covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiang Nong also laughed so hard that his shoulders twitched.However, they haven't been together for a long time, and they don't know much about Qing Huan's character. It's just that the master asked questions, and Qing Guo, who didn't dare to hide anything, solved her doubts.

"Did the master teach it?"

Seeing Linglu and Xiangnong laughing non-stop, they also nodded.

Qing Huan had to believe it.

Because of the rain, she herself was not in a good mood and had no interest in talking, so she inevitably left Rong Jin in the cold, so she let Rong Chen stay with her son when she came back.

At least the two of father and son will not make Rong Jin feel wronged.

did not expect……

It touches taught a little old-fashioned.

Thinking of the increasingly serious and serious Rong Chen in front of outsiders, she couldn't help but want to help her forehead.

The mother and son had dinner.

Rong Jin looked at Qing Huan expectantly.

Qing Huan asked: "Brother Jin, what's the matter?"

"Mom, the weather is fine today."

Qing Huan was taken aback.

Seeing Rong Jin licking his lips nervously, he couldn't help his nose sore, after all he was still a child, so he said with a smile: "Yes, the weather is fine, Brother Jin will accompany the mother for a while, wait a minute, let's go for a walk."

Rong Jin's eyes lit up, and he nodded desperately: "Okay."

Qing Huan asked Qing Guo to take him to the side to play, and then talked to Ling Lu: "What's the matter?" Seeing Ling Lu hesitate to speak a few times, she must have something to say.

"The mansion originally prepared a canopy for the cousin's wedding. It rained for several days in a row, and yesterday it turned into a torrential rain. The stewards worried that there was not enough time today, so they built the canopy overnight. But now..."

After all, the canopy is not pretty, but if it is removed, I am afraid that it will rain tomorrow.

Gu Erlinglu also hesitated in his heart, not knowing whether it should be dismantled or not.

"Is that so..."

Qing Huan pursed her lips and frowned slightly.According to her thinking, it is better to demolish it. Even if Lin Yin has changed her identity now, her natal family is herself, but... it cannot be ruled out that other people will come to the house because of the Rongjun Palace.This... the canopy is really not very pretty, but it doesn't matter where it is placed.

After all, everyone knows the amount of rain in the past few days.

It's just that, it's hard for Qing Huan to make a decision.

This question... is actually very simple. It is only because Qing Huan likes Lin Yin and cares about her inner feelings that he hesitates. If these things are left out, according to her thinking, it will naturally be demolished.

The canopy was set up to provide shelter from the rain.

But now the rain has stopped, but the ground and the room have not been exposed to the sun due to the rain for several days, and there is a damp feeling, which is really uncomfortable.

Lin Yin sat on the bed, touching the lines on the back of her body with both hands, her eyes full of reluctance.If the days of being a peasant woman in Zhuangzi were her new life, the short few months living in Rong's mansion were the most comfortable days she has lived so far.Seeing that she was about to leave tomorrow, even though she knew that she was marrying a good man, she was still full of reluctance.

In the house, under the leadership of Youyuan, the servants were dressed up in a new way, and they were full of joy, and red silk and the Chinese characters "囍" were hung everywhere.The quilts have been replaced with red quilt covers, and the dowry to be carried in the afternoon has also been boxed and placed in the side room next to it.In comparison, her dowry was much larger.

There are also a few empty boxes there, ready to add makeup in the afternoon.

Lin Yin stood up and walked towards the vanity mirror step by step. The corners of the mouth of the person in the mirror were slightly raised, obviously not smiling, but she could feel her joy and happiness.

Lin Yin couldn't help touching the corner of her mouth, is this me?

so happy.

Lin Yin couldn't help laughing.

Taking a deep breath, my beating heart seemed to be less nervous.Lin Yin tilted her head and heard Youyuan talking to a few maidservants in the outer room.

It was newly purchased by the mansion, and it was also transferred to Lin Yin.

Listening to the words, Xiaoyuan must be admonishing them.

It seems that this servant girl didn't brazenly ask Qing Huan for it in vain.With her, she really saved a lot of worry. If it wasn't for her wrong identity, she really wanted Qing Huan to help her train her servants.

Apart from Mancao and Linglu, one is in charge of the house and the other is in charge of the house, so Qing Huan doesn't have to worry about the inside and outside of the mansion in an orderly manner.Even the two big maids who are serving by her side, Xiang Nong and You Yuan are both good.

Everyone can take it out on their own.

Lin Yin felt that it was not good for her to be so dissatisfied, and she couldn't help but want to laugh again.

Qing Huan didn't know this.

If she knew, she would be at a loss.

Speaking of which, the people around her, Mancao and Linglu, were picked out with the help of the third wife when she was around.Later, the third master and his wife disappeared, and it was Aunt Liu who was watching.

When Qing Huan woke up in that Yan Mansion, Mancao and Linglu were already competent.That is to say, I was young, inexperienced, and occasionally made mistakes.

But after all these years, it is naturally more appropriate.

As for Xiang Nong and You Yuan, they were also selected by her.

However, the two of them have good backgrounds. After Qing Huan wanted them, she let them go and only handed over the power to Aunt Liu, Mancao and Linglu.

When she used it smoothly, she had already discovered that the two of them were also capable, especially Xiang Nong.The second Mancao is alive and well, and if Mancao hadn't been married, she might have been reused more than Linglu.

It's just that Rong Quan is Rong Chen's confidant after all, and Qing Huan also hopes that the people around him are happy.

She really didn't want to let their husband and wife be separated. She lacked a vine beside her, and she could use Linglu to cover it.But Rong Chen's side is not sure.

Rong Quan has been with Rong Chen for too long, and knows a lot of things.

There are some things that can only be relieved if you leave them to him.

In this way, it is actually worthwhile to exchange a Vine Grass for Rong Quan's double loyalty, not to mention that he is also grateful for what he gets from the Vine Grass.

Of course, the feelings between their master and servant are not exchanged for those.

But I hope the other party is well.

It's just that after Qing Huan also got a headache, if Ling Lu also married, there is really a shortage of people around her. I only hope that Xiang Nong can bring out Qingguo and Qingli as soon as possible.

As for Linglu not getting married?
Qing Huan had never thought about this matter.

When Lin Yin heard that Qing Huan was coming, she hurriedly invited someone to come in.

"Sister-in-law is here." Lin Yin went to support Qing Huan in person, and asked, "How are you these few days? The weather is bad and it's been raining all the time. I dare not go to you."

"Aren't you going to let the wind out?" Qing Huan said playfully.

Lin Yin covered her mouth and smiled.

The two sat on the soft couch.

Youyuan directed his servants to serve refreshments.

Qing Huan looked at it and said: "Seeing Youyuan is so capable, I can't bear it."

"That's not okay, I can't do without Youyuan now." Lin Yin said with a smile.She knew in her heart that it was impossible for Qing Huan to ask her to go back to Youyuan, but she just said that on purpose.

It's just that what she said was true.

Lin Yin thought for a while and smiled: "Youyuan alone is not enough. If my sister-in-law is interested in others, as long as I have them, you can take them as you like, but now is such an opportunity."

"You are stingy." Qing Huan shook her head: "There is one thing to say."

Lin Yin thought it was something important, so he straightened his face and straightened his back: "Say it."

Qing Huan smiled when she saw it: "It's not a big deal, don't be so nervous."

Lin Yin smiled.

"It's about the canopy, I think you know about it too?"

Lin Yin nodded: "Those servants in the mansion felt sorry for working in the rain all night because of my affairs. Even if my sister-in-law didn't say anything, I still wanted to find you for this matter."

"I was thinking of giving the money, so I took it as a bounty as my thanks."

She had heard of some who were in poor health, and they seemed to be sick because of it.Even if the money for the medicine is paid out of the house, it is exhausted after all.

Lin Yin had no choice but to be fine.

I don't know if it's because I said something first, anyway, Lin Yin's feeling of living in this mansion for more than a month is not the four words "at home".In fact, her identity cannot withstand inference at all.

Just by seeing how she opened and closed her mouth to call Qing Huan's sister-in-law instead of cousin, one can see some tricks from it.

It's just that these servants of Rong's mansion turned a blind eye to her, and when they saw her, they really acted like a cousin girl, respectfully.If this were to change to the Marquis of Anqing's mansion, they would definitely be said to be living under the fence, and would come to seek refuge alone and helpless.

Anyway, there must be some ugly words.

But here is not.

Maybe those people have said it in their hearts.

But at least Lin Yin never saw the slightest bit of their attitude.

This is the reason why she can live in peace for so long.

"That's fine too." Naturally, Qing Huan already knew about this matter, and asked Ling Lu to invite the doctor to come and see it.The medical expenses were also paid by the mansion, but it was because of Lin Yin's affairs that he got sick.

It would be best if Lin Yin was willing to come forward.

Tomorrow's wedding, and the return home in three days, these things require the servants of the mansion to do things.If Lin Yin does well, those servants will naturally be motivated to do things.

Lin Yin asked Xiaofang to go to the back room to get the money.

Qing Huan looked coldly at Youyuan who seemed to be in charge of Lin Yin's private money, so she didn't ask for the key, and went directly to get it.After all, 100 taels is not a small amount, and it is impossible to keep it alone. According to the rules, it must be locked and placed in a box.

Seeing Youyuan being reused by Lin Yin, Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she still feels a little ashamed when she thinks of Youyuan.

After all, she was given to Lin Yin by her.

Even if Youyuan herself is willing, but this is also the fact.If one is not handled properly, the old relationship between master and servant may be gone.

It's really good to see her now, and naturally he was relieved.

After this matter was over, Qing Huan talked about the canopy.

Sure enough, when Lin Yin heard it, she seemed to be troubled, and her brows were tightly frowned.

After all, no one wants surprises.

"If you don't wait until night to see how the weather will look, if the sky is clear, you can dismantle the canopy overnight. Compared with building it, if you dismantle it, it will only take more than an hour." Ling Lu mentioned. .

Qing Huan nodded, this is a good idea, and with Lin Yin's reward first, those servants will not find it troublesome, and the emotions in their hearts will be much less.

"What do you think?" Qing Huan threw it to Lin Yin to deal with.

Lin Yin nodded naturally.

After the two discussed it, Qing Huan decided to go back to accompany Rong Jin seeing that the time was about the same.

Lin Yin was about to send her out.

But before leaving the yard, Qing Li hurried in from outside: "Ma'am, the second mistress is here. She said... she brought makeup for the cousin girl."

Four girls?
Qing Huan pursed her lips.

Seeing this, Lin Yin asked, "Sister-in-law, do I want to go over?"

It is her natal family, and the fourth girl is not wrong to come.

Qing Huan thought for a while, nodded, and said to Lin Yin: "Let's go together and see what good things she added to you."

Lin Yin pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

When the two arrived, the fourth girl was drinking tea with her head bowed, with green fruits standing beside her.

"Your lady..."
