Flowers are expensive

Chapter 262 Lin Longyu's Meanness 1
Lin Longyu smiled lightly and said: "The shop is there, you can tell if you ask me, what nonsense am I talking about? I heard that she used to be in the cosmetics business, and now she is going to open in Jingyou City. Let’s drive to the capital!”

"This is a bit out of order!" Mama Ke said to You Xian'er, "You don't know about this?"

You Xian'er smiled coquettishly and said, "I've heard her talk about it."

"Then you should stop her! The wife of a majestic palace goes out to show her face to do business, what does it sound like to hang out with men! She didn't know the rules when she came here, you should teach her one by one."

You Xian'er was about to answer, when Lin Longyu interjected: "I'm afraid it's useless if Mrs. You teaches me! I heard from my elder brother that this new lady has a very sharp mouth. I'm afraid you can't compare to her when it comes to truth. What! I guess she must be busy in the shop at the moment, and she has long forgotten about Mrs. You and Miss Tang's marriage!"

You Xian'er frowned slightly, her face was a little displeased.Tang Xuanzhen hurriedly answered, "I dare not expect Mrs. Lihua to come. She has something to do. Li'er has already sent it to me, and I am very grateful."

"That's not what I said," Lin Longyu said with a smile, "You are Madam You's sister, so you are naturally part of the same family with her. If my family is not on the same page, who else can I count on? But I Seeing that she is a good hand in business, as a human being..."

As soon as he said this, Liu Shi stabbed Lin Longyu with his elbow.Lin Longyu glared at Liu Shi with bored eyes, then turned to smile and said to You Xian'er: "Mrs. You won't be angry, right? Longyu always has something to say, so please bear with me."

You Xian'er politely and perfunctorily ordered Dong'er to set up an incense case, and then changed the topic to Buddhist scriptures.Liu Shi and Lin Longyu didn't answer anymore.

Dong'er left the Nuan Pavilion and ordered the little girl to set up an incense table.Kalan popped up from the side and asked, "Sister Dong'er, are you sure you don't want to send someone to invite Mrs. Lihua back? Look at what the second Miss of the Lin family said just now, Madam is almost losing her face!"

Dong'er glanced back at her and said, "You're eavesdropping outside the door again!"

"What's wrong with me waiting outside the door? Today, Mrs. Ewha has made our wife look good! Even if she looks down on Miss Xuanzhen, there is no reason not to come back! Our wife is the prince's wet nurse after all!"

"Shut up!" Dong'er became a little angry, "Your mouth is getting more and more sharp! Be careful that your mouth will suffer someday!"

Gan Lan rolled her eyelids and said, "Don't get angry at me if you're not happy! I'm also serving Miss Xuanzhen now, and you have to ask Miss Xuanzhen if you want to punish her! Hmph!"

"I don't care who you serve, is it time for you to chew your tongue?"

Kalan was speechless with one sentence.Dong'er glanced at her and was about to continue teaching when Lihua's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"My dear lady!" Dong'er kissed dearly when she was excited, "You are back anyway! The slaves are almost desperate!"

Li Hua's face was flushed, and she was still panting: "I... I didn't miss the time, did I? When you sent someone to remind me, I was rushing back!"

"Not yet, the incense table is being set up, hurry up..." Dong'er looked down at Lihua's clothes, and frowned slightly, "Do you need to change clothes?"

It turned out that there was a lot of muddy water on the hem of the pear blossom skirt, as if it had just run out of the ground.The muddy water and crimson clothes are mixed together, not very conspicuous, but when you look closely, it is a bit embarrassing!

"Hey! It must have been done just now," Lihua said hurriedly, "I'll change my clothes right away, please tell the nanny for me!"

"Wait! Ask Chun'er to fetch it, and change it here, lest you run out of breath again!"

As soon as the words were finished, Suying opened the curtain in the Nuan Pavilion and asked, "Is Mrs. Ewha here? Please hurry in!"

When Dong'er was about to shake her head with Suying, Gan Lan replied: "Yes! Madam just arrived!" After she shouted, she smiled proudly at Dong'er, as if to say, look at how dirty Mrs. Ewha is wearing. Xi's clothes to meet guests!It's no wonder that she can't be lost!
"Hurry up and invite her in!" You Xian'er spoke from inside.

Lihua stuck out her tongue at Dong'er, shrugged helplessly, and had no choice but to follow Suying in.As soon as she entered the door, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. A group of noble ladies were staring at her with their eyeballs, as if they wanted to see through her!She thought to herself, what kind of atmosphere is this!It feels a bit like being on the trial stand!
"Nurse, sorry, I'm late!" Li Hua walked over and said with a smile.

"It's not too late, the banquet hasn't started yet!" You Xian'er beckoned her to sit down.But as soon as she sat down, the mud spots under the skirt were discovered.Who is this sharp-eyed guy?Then of course it was Lin Longyu!
As soon as Lihua sat down, Lin Longyu's voice sounded sharply from the side: "Is Mrs. Lihua going for an outing?"

"Huh?" Lihua looked at this young woman whom she had never met before and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Longyu covered her nose with a laugh, then pointed at the hem of Lihua's skirt and said, "Look for yourself, what did you do instead of going for an outing? Could it be that Mrs. Lihua went to lay bricks for the shop herself?"

Everyone's eyes immediately moved to Lihua's muddy skirt, and all kinds of guesses and imaginations immediately appeared in their minds!Mrs. Liu also smiled and said, "It didn't rain this morning, where did the muddy water come from? Didn't Mrs. Ewha go out of the city?"

You Xian'er also asked strangely: "Where did you get such muddy water? Did you really leave the city?"

Before Lihua could answer, Lin Longyu said bitterly: "Could it be that he went outside the city to look forward to the prince? The prince has not returned for a long time, and Mrs. Lihua must be waiting impatiently! Madam, don't be too impatient. It's not that you are busy outside, how can you stay in the mansion every day?"

The women all lowered their eyebrows and secretly laughed.The atmosphere in the Snapper became extremely awkward.When You Xian'er was about to defend Lihua, Lihua looked at Lin Longyu calmly and asked, "What is the lady's name?"

Lin Longyu said in a slightly arrogant tone: "I am Lin Longyu, the second lady of the Lin family."

"It turns out to be the young lady of the Lin family. No wonder I know a little bit of the young master of the Lin family! Speaking of my stupidity, I have to ask your elder brother!"

Lin Longyu glanced at Lihua in surprise, with a little disdain in her eyes, and asked, "What do you mean Ma'am? Could it be that my elder brother threw the dirt on your body? My elder brother is busy with business. If you don't turn around, where do you get all this idle time?"

The Liu family also echoed: "Yes! Besides, my husband isn't that brave, is he? Who in this city doesn't know that you are the prince's newly married young... madam?"

Li Hua smiled at You Xian'er: "Look! I just said a word, and they panicked to defend Young Master Lin, it really is a family! I didn't say that Young Master Lin dumped you, I went to the backyard of the shop today Suddenly, a piece of brick and tile fell down and landed in the mud bucket next to me, which splashed mud all over my body."

You Xian'er asked: "You really want to open a shop?"

Lihua said: "Yes, Sister Cuiyue and I plan to open a makeup shop. The shop is being redecorated and will open later."

Lin Longyu snorted, and said with a half-smile: "Madam, why bother to work so hard? You have to show your face to earn money. Those who don't know think that the treasury of Prince You's Mansion is empty, and even the concubine can't support her!"

"Second Aunt," Liu Shi stabbed Lin Longyu again, turned her face and said, "You didn't speak like that. Although Mrs. You is familiar with us, you can't be so presumptuous. Hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Lihua."

"I have good intentions! Madam Lihua wants to do business in Jingyou City, I'm afraid it will not be so easy." Lin Longyu smiled arrogantly, and rushed to Madam You, "You know, men like my eldest brother and third brother are running outside. I am exhausted from buying and selling, let alone Mrs. Lihua, who is a woman. The economics of Jingyou City are not as good as those of the small towns where Mrs. Lihua used to stay. If you are not careful, you will eat other people’s food. Unfortunately, it’s a trivial matter to break the capital with profit, but it’s a big deal to make the whole city laugh at Youwang’s Mansion! Do you think it’s so reasonable?”

"Let me answer this question," Li Hua took the first step, holding a teacup and handing it to You Xian'er with a smile, "After talking so much, drink some tea first. In fact, Second Miss Lin is right. What about Li'er! It's just that she's worried too much, there is no concubine in the house doing business outside! When that day comes, it won't be too late for her to be kind again!"

You Xian'er knew that Lihua refused to admit her status as a concubine, so she didn't argue, she just bowed her head and drank tea without saying a word.Although the women next to her were surprised, they didn't ask any more questions, they just heard something new.But Lin Longyu couldn't hold her breath anymore, and said, "Madam said there is no concubine in the house? Then Madam is... Forgive Longyu for making a mistake, is the official princess of the house, Princess Banner Jingtai, still here? She seems to be the one Where is the princess that the prince is marrying! Longyu wants to ask, what is the identity of the wife? Could it be that the prince has two concubines? This is unprecedented!"

"Second Aunt, you're asking too much..."

"Sister-in-law, why worry?" Lin Longyu interrupted Liu's words, looked at everyone and smiled, "I'm just curious! If I don't ask clearly, what should I call you when we meet again? Madam or what? How about a princess? Do you think so?"

The others all laughed and said nothing, pretending to drink tea and pretending not to hear.Tang Xuanzhen stood behind You Xian'er, staring at Lihua slantingly, and hummed in her heart seven or eight times. If there were no other people around, the corners of her mouth might have cracked behind her ears.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, You Xian'er was about to change the subject when Li Hua reached out and held her hand, then turned to Lin Longyu and said, "From Miss Lin's words, I know that you haven't come to the palace for a long time. , I don’t know many things! By the way, I forgot, Ms. Lin has been married a long time ago, and she just came back to the mansion after attending a funeral, so it’s no wonder you asked this question.”

"Oh?" Lin Longyu raised her voice resolutely, and asked, "Then Madam, is there something I don't know? Just give me some insight!"

"Second Aunt..." Liu Shi just wanted to stop her, but Lin Longyu gave her a hard look.She smiled proudly at the others and said, "We are still sitting anyway, why don't we just listen to Mrs. Ewha's talk about the matter and pass the time! What do you think?"

"I'm also happy for Miss Lin to be so elegant," Li Hua continued, "It's just that my story will take a long time to tell, how about this, I'll tell you slowly after lunch and serve tea!"

You Xian'er took the opportunity to get up and said: "The incense table should be ready, and the time has come. Lihua, you change your clothes first, we will wait for you in the side hall. Everyone, please, go to the side hall!"

Everyone got up and left the Nuan Pavilion one after another, Lin Longyu also turned and left with disdainful eyes.Chun'er has already fetched her clothes, and together with Wu Ye, she waits for Lihua to change clothes in You Xian'er's inner room.Lihua asked thoughtfully: "Wuye, who did the second young lady of the Lin family marry?"

"I heard that it's a young master from a family in the capital, and he's also in business, so he's the right family!"

"But why do I look a little resentful?" Wuye glanced at Lihua, straightened her belt and said with a smile: "Can she not be resentful when she sees you?"
