Chapter 228 The sought-after Wang Yuanyue ([-])

Whether Lin Guoxiang wanted it or not, she still made it to the appointment on time at the end of June.As Xiucai said, their family's identity and status are all there now, and it is impossible to act willfully like before, and hide and let others come forward to deal with it if they don't like it.Even for the sake of those two children, she had to get familiar with and adapt to this so-called aristocratic circle as soon as possible, otherwise the two children would make people laugh.

The place for viewing flowers on the post is a summer resort on the outskirts of the imperial capital. Based on my two days of uninterrupted brainstorming about the interpersonal relationship in this circle, I know that this villa is the dowry Zhuangzi of the hostess.It is said that for this Zhuangzi, the hostess spent a lot of effort, and spent a lot of private money on it, to make this Zhuangzi as warm in winter and cool in summer as it is now.

But it is warm in winter and cool in summer, comfortable and pleasant. After all, it is summer now. Everyone knows that July and August are the hottest months. What flowers do you enjoy at this time?Isn't this just looking for a sunbathing? Don't you think you are not dark enough, so you insist on running to bask in the scorching sun?
Lin Guoxiang felt that the women in ancient times were really bored by being stuck in the back house. Look at this boring, summery girl who actually finds an excuse to enjoy flowers to hold a party.

So with such unwillingness and resentment, Lin Guoxiang finally arrived at the flower viewing place mentioned in the post.Even though it was only morning, the sun was still scorching hot.Lin Guoxiang got out of the carriage, and before she had time to take a good look at this so-called comfortable and pleasant place with beautiful scenery and an excellent summer resort, Zhuangzi's eyes were almost subconsciously squinted by the sun's rays, and he didn't see what was waiting in front of him. The two well-dressed nuns in charge outside Zhuangzi.

But she didn't notice, it doesn't mean that the nurse in charge and the maids who came with her didn't pay attention.Among them, one of the older maids did not need hints from the master and the nurse in charge, so she quietly stuffed a purse that she had prepared in the future into the hand of the nurse in charge who came to greet her, and affectionately held her hand Asked: "I don't know what my mother's name is?"

The face of the nun in charge who received the benefits softened immediately because of the hot weather, and she quietly weighed the purse in her hand, reckoning that it must have at least two taels of silver, so the smile on her face deepened. Point: "Don't, just call me Changsheng's."

After finishing speaking, he trotted quickly to Lin Guoxiang's side and reached out to hold her arm: "Look, it's hot today, madam, I'd better go inside to cool off."

Lin Guoxiang was originally very repulsed by the Changsheng family's reaching out to help her, but she probably wouldn't like it if anyone's arms were suddenly supported by a pair of sweaty and scalding hands in such a hot day.However, the nanny in charge who followed along took advantage of everyone's attention and stretched out a finger to tap her on the back quietly. Lin Guoxiang got a hint and finally restrained her temper and let the Changsheng family go. He helped himself into Zhuangzi all the way.

These nuns and maidservants who followed him all came out of the palace. The nanny in charge had served a certain nobleman before, and she was given the grace to come out of the palace to be raised because of her age. Usually, people are scheming, rules and relationships. They are all good hands.But Lin Guoxiang didn't know anything when she first arrived, so Babyface asked her to take care of her and teach her some rules and customs.

As for the four first-class maids who are also serious maids, although they are only sixteen or seventeen years old, they are all experienced in the palace, and they can help Lin Guoxiang a lot Busy, at least when necessary, I can remind you to help block some unnecessary troubles.

It can be said that Babyface is very familiar with the temperament of Lin Guoxiang, the enemy. In his words, she is just a silly big sister, and she has never been shrewd when she is usually careless.So when Lin Guoxiang came to the imperial capital, these nuns and maids rewarded her together. At the same time, they also expressed another meaning, which was to warn those noble ladies of the aristocratic families not to target this one for nothing.

It was also because of this kindness that Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai arrived in the emperor for a few days, and before they had come and had a good rest, someone posted a post to invite her.There are not many fools in this area of ​​the capital, Lin Guoxiang has this kind of grace, isn't it a cover-up to show that the young founder of the country is right now.

It is said that Lin Guoxiang was carefully helped into the Zhuangzi by the Changsheng family and the nanny in charge. After walking through the corridor and seeing the hostess who looked a little rich but was full of extravagance in her gestures, she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Sure enough. She has the temperament of a strong woman.

Although this person has kind eyes and gentle manners, it is still difficult to hide the coldness in his brows.It's not that this person's acting skills are not good enough, but that she is used to beating concubines and concubines in daily life as the master of the house, and she can't help but bring such a trace of momentum in her speech and behavior.

The two greeted each other a few words, and the hostess affectionately brought Lin Guoxiang to a gazebo hidden in the shade of trees, where there were already several noble ladies who were dressed luxuriously and elegantly. .

Then the hostess introduced Lin Guoxiang one by one: "This is Mrs. Wang, who is also a first-rank imperial title. This is Mrs. Shen, who is also a second-rank imperial title..."

I don't know what the hostess is thinking. After she introduces her, she will definitely add a rank of commandment. Is this to show off how many noble ladies she knows, or is she trying to show her off?After Lin Guoxiang thought about it for a while, she was immediately stunned by the group of reserved, enthusiastic, or elegant ladies, and her mind was filled with the words "Madam so-and-so" floating around. fly.

After exchanging greetings with those ladies, Lin Guoxiang felt that her face was going to freeze from laughing.Who told her that she must smile when she sees someone, drag her out and beat her up!
Lin Guoxiang was not familiar with these noble ladies, and her temperament was cold, so she had nothing to talk to them about.However, these noble ladies are obviously good at communication, and all of them are full of witty remarks, even when they see a flower, they can talk for a long time.Then everyone chatted and chatted, and the topic slowly came to Wang Yuanzhi brothers. Everyone first praised Wang Yuanzhi, and then said a lot of words of admiration. Then Wang Yuanyue started talking.

"Guoxiang, your Yue'er will be sixteen this year, right?" There was a self-acquaintance, who was in front of Lin Guoxiang in just half a day, as if he had been a friend for many years.

"Yeah, I don't know if the young master is engaged or not?" The other one also hurriedly echoed, and with the beginning of these two, the others also followed suit.

Lin Guoxiang looked at this posture, no matter how she looked, it looked like parents on both sides were helping their children on a blind date. This is not a flower viewing feast, it is clearly a Hongmen banquet.

"No." Lin Guoxiang replied with a smile, "That child, like his brother, has his own opinions. If he says he can't start a career, he won't start a family. I have only two sons like this. Let him go, and the younger one must not interfere, or the child will definitely complain that my father and I are biased." The subtext is, our children are still young, so you should give up the idea of ​​being a matchmaker or getting married. Can't bear it.

Lin Guoxiang originally wanted to say: she is only sixteen, and in modern times she is only a high school student, so why should she be married at such a young age.However, seeing the earnest gazes of the ladies in front of her, she swallowed the words abruptly, and after thinking for a while, she changed into the words just now.Although these words were not euphemistic enough for those people to refuse, but in the end it dispelled the idea of ​​these noble ladies who wanted to seek relationships or be matchmakers.

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out of their mouths, some of them had faint disappointment on their faces. Although they hid it well, they were still noticed by Lin Guoxiang.But she pretended not to see it.

There are also those who don't give up and continue to talk about this topic: "I said sister, how can you just let the children mess around like this, what do they know. Besides, sixteen is not young, it's time to talk about kissing It’s gone.” Maybe he realized that his words were too eager, so he paused and said, “Sister, this is also for your own good, don’t think that the child is still young, and we will have nothing to do when people have grandchildren in a few years. If you can’t hold it, then it’s too late to worry.”

This tone, this expression, all looked like "I'm doing this for your own good", which made Lin Guoxiang feel bored.She thought: If it weren't for the fact that there is a son who is a prince in front of you, because Yue'er has neither fame nor a deep family background, you can show such a caring look like this?After all, isn't he thinking of taking advantage of his brother Gonghou?
"Sister's words are very reasonable. It's not that my father and I don't understand. It's just that the child has achieved nothing until now. He doesn't even have any fame at such an age. If we really get married, it will harm the girl of that family. It's really like this, the child's father and I really can't bear it in our hearts."

The lady originally wanted to say something more, but everyone saw that Lin Guoxiang didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so she cleverly changed the subject and talked about today's topic - viewing flowers.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking about this topic, Lin Guoxiang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, thinking: it's too tiring to stay with these people, it's the first time she has had to waste so much brain because of dealing with people cell.

Everyone chatted for a long time, and the nurse in charge saw Lin Guoxiang's expression showing a hint of impatience and exhaustion, so she spoke with a wink in a low voice, but she ensured that everyone present could hear it in a considerate voice. She asked, "Madam, are you tired?"

"Well, some, my stomach is a little sour." Lin Guoxiang immediately went down the steps when she heard this, she was eager to leave here as soon as possible.Just at this time, someone outside reported that the housekeeper of the Founding Duke's mansion came to pick up his wife, saying that it was time for an appointment with the imperial physician. "

Everyone knew that they couldn't keep it anymore, so they all showed a hint of apology at the right time, expressing tactfully that they knew Lin Guoxiang was pregnant, and they dragged on talking for so long because they were inconvenient.

Lin Guoxiang didn't want to stay here for a moment, she was anxious to leave, so she briefly exchanged greetings with everyone, then left Zhuangzi with the support of the nurse in charge and the accompanying maid, got into her own carriage and left here.
