Chapter 26 Miss Shen
Chen Xuan took the prepared sachet and went all the way to Aunt Su's yard. He pushed the door open and saw Aunt Su sitting on the pear blossom bed and looking down at a volume of scriptures in her hand. He then greeted her and shouted "Mom" sweetly.
Originally, Aunt Su was just a concubine, and the young lady in the family could only call her "aunt" in front of others. Only Chen Xuan could call her "mother" behind her back. For this reason, Aunt Su felt unhappy for many years. Mrs. Chen died early. She, Su Yulan, worked hard to give birth to children in the Shen family, without a single complaint. After so many years, Chen Tanchun was reluctant to promote her to become a wife. Su Yulan couldn't help but place her hope on her eldest son, hoping that one day her son would shine in high school, and wouldn't it be natural for her to become a wife.
Aunt Su looked up and saw Chen Xuan with a beautiful smile on her face. She put down the scriptures in her hand, looked at Chen Xuan gently and said, "Silly child, it's such a hot day, I'm not afraid of getting hot." After that, she told the big girl Lianxin around her to bring the iced sour plum juice to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan had just taken a few sips, then raised her face and said with a smile: "Are you just now making a few sachets with the third sister and sister Ying'er, and you just happened to send one of the made to your mother." As he said that, he handed a purple satin sachet with orchids hanging on the pearl beards to Aunt Su, looking very delicate and attentive.
Aunt Su took it with a smile, looked at the sachet in her hand and was very satisfied with it. Then she looked at Chen Xuan with a smile in her eyes, "My Xuan'er is really smart and kind-hearted, and I like it very much." Then her eyes flashed slightly and she continued, "Xuan'er, have you listened to your mother's words these days and talked to Ying'er more than anything?"
When Chen Xuan heard this, she put the sour plum juice in her hand back on the table and said coquettishly: "Mom, why do you want me to please an orphan who joins our family? After all, she is just a refugee, and we are the real ladies in the mansion. But now, her momentum is even higher than that of us!
Aunt Su picked up the covered bowl and gently brushed the tea leaves. The tea smelled coldly, and the smile on her face was slow: "Silly girl, this Ying'er is an excellent time for us to join us at this time."
Chen Xuan had a layer of doubt on her face and said, "Why? Is it because she was recommended by Mr. Xie, whom her father dared not offend?"
"This is just one of them. The most important thing is not for your elder brother!" Aunt Su took a sip of tea and said, "You don't know some things. After your father's inquiry, he learned that the examiner of this year's examination is likely to be the proud disciple of Master Xie, Taifu Ming. It is not difficult for the other adults to manage it. However, this person is very unwilling to speak, but he only obeys the advice of Master Xie. This time, Master Xie entrusted the orphan to our family. If Master Ming knew that Ying'er was treated so politely in the Shen Mansion, he would definitely treat your elder brother with a different look."
Chen Xuan suddenly realized, her eyebrows were curved and her smile was as bright as a flower, "So that's it, that's not far from being the top scholar!"
Aunt Su smiled and angrily said, "You understand now. The exam period is approaching. In a few months, waiting for your brother's high school will be the time for us to be proud. But now she lives in the Shen family, so she can't let outsiders say that we have treated her harshly. On the surface, you have to do enough skills."
Chen Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, mom, my daughter knows how to do it."
The next morning, Yingluo was dressing up, but suddenly she heard the green spirit outside shouting: "Miss is here!"
Then he saw Chen Lin bringing a little girl into the door. Yingluo looked up at the rare lady, got up and walked forward, and said with a gentle expression: "Miss has come to my Zhuyi Garden so early, I don't know what's going on?"
Chen Lin was timid and smiled shyly, saying, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I don't have any valuable gifts to give to Sister Ying'er. These are my homemade small pastries. I hope Sister Ying'er won't dislike it." The little girl behind her handed a food box with her head down. The Qiaoer next to Yingluo saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to take it to her.
Yingluo had a gentle smile, looked at Chen Lin who was a little restrained in front of her and said with a smile: "Then Ying'er thanked Miss Shen for her kindness." Looking at Chen Lin with a somewhat hesitant and uneasy look on her face, Yingluo chuckled: "I wonder if Miss Shen has something to talk to Ying'er?"
Chen Lin's smile on her face was a little embarrassed, and her voice said softly, "I heard that Sister Ying'er and her second sister were going to Linjiang Pavilion to watch the dragon boat. I... want to go too." Later, the voice was almost as thin as a mosquito and flies, and her round face then rose two blushings, and the girl's shyness was visible at a glance.
Yingluo looked at this scene with a smile, and she understood in her heart that Miss Shen had a reason to go to Linjiang Pavilion? Although Chen Xuan and the others did not invite her, they still plucked up the courage to find a breakthrough from her. Thinking about it this way, it was not too stupid.
Yingluo couldn't help but feel a little curious. What would be the reason for Chen Lin to take the initiative to ask for leaving the house? But she still said calmly: "Oh? The eldest lady wants to go to Linjiang Pavilion so much, so she should go to the second lady to talk to her. I think the second lady will definitely not refute the lady's face. Yinger is just a guest, so how could she be this master?"
Chen Lin's face changed. She stared at Yingluo, her thoughts turned sharply, her lips trembled slightly, and a mist seemed to appear in her eyes, "Sister Ying'er, I'm talking too much. Since my sister refuses, I'll go back." Looking at her pitiful look, it's very unbearable.
Chen Lin got up and was about to leave. Yingluo suddenly called her, "Miss, in an hour, you can go with me in a carriage."
Chen Lin turned around, with an unbelievable smile in her tears, and said happily: "Really?!"
"Of course it's true. The young lady goes back first to prepare, we'll see you later." Yingluo said with a smile.
After seeing Chen Lin off, Qiaoer next to him couldn't help asking: "Girl, why is this Miss Shen so abnormal today? She never talks with us on weekdays, let alone come to Zhuyi Garden."
Yingluo narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the distant back, and said lightly: "Linjiang Pavilion looks very lively today." Then she looked at Qiaoer and said softly: "You don't have to be nervous, we just want to relax."
One hour later, four soft satin-wrapped carriages were parked in front of the Shen Mansion. Yingluo walked towards the one she was about to ride on. She was about to raise her foot to get on the carriage, but she heard a woman panting behind her. Everyone looked back at Chen Lin, who was dressed in a peach pink brocade dress, and she looked like she had carefully dressed up. Chen Xuan frowned and a faint disgust appeared on her beautiful face. She walked over and said coldly to Chen Lin: "So it's the eldest sister, are you going to leave the mansion?"
Chen Lin looked at Chen Xuan with a arrogant and arrogant look, and said softly like a little white rabbit who was only frightened, "Second sister, I and Sister Ying'er agreed to go to Linjiang Pavilion together."
Chen Xuan paused, and a hint of anger flashed across her face. This elder sister, who was usually like a wood, was quite good at hugging her thighs today, and she actually went to find Ying'er.
Yingluo next to him looked at the scene and came out to rescue him, "Please don't blame Ying'er. Today I met the eldest lady. When I learned that the eldest lady didn't know what she was going today, I took the initiative to invite the eldest lady to Linjiang Pavilion with me to watch."
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Lin who was silent beside her and snorted coldly. When she turned to Yingluo, she changed her face to a very pleasant smile. She deliberately let out a soft cry, and said, "Ah! It's all my sister's negligence. I thought my elder sister would continue to copy Buddhist scriptures for her deceased wife in the Buddhist temple today. Thanks to Sister Yinger who can bring her elder sister together."
Yingluo just smiled and stopped talking. Chen Yao, who looked at the few people in the distance, looked casually tied up today, only a ruby butterfly inlaid with golden steps. The tassels drooped down with a brilliant look, but her face looked cold and arrogant, and she ignored them and crawled into her own carriage.
After a while, everyone got on the carriage and a team drove out of the street in a mighty manner.
In the carriage, Chen Lin lowered her eyes and sat upright on the soft seat on the other side of the car with her close-fitting little girl. Her hands in her wide sleeves kept quietly pulling a piece of tassels with green cloud-patterned jade pendant. Yingluo smiled and drifted her eyes towards the street scene outside the window, and she was not ready to speak to break the silence.
At this time, a soft and gentle voice sounded: "Sister Ying'er, thank you for helping me just now." Chen Lin said.
