Wan Xing almost jumped up with joy, Wan Yue was a little more steady, but she also smiled when she heard this. Lin Weixi looked at these two lively and lively maids who had not been dehumanized by the high gate compound, and unconsciously put a smile on his lips.
She was too far from this simple happiness.
Lin Weixi remembered that in his previous life, he recited thousand-character prose at the age of three, was enlightened at the age of five, and began to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at the age of six. A six-year-old child can't sit still, let her learn these, the effect can be imagined. Only a year later, Gao Ran, who used to be like a shadow, suddenly changed his temperament. Not only did his speech and speech change drastically, but he was also much faster at recognizing characters and learning the piano than Lin Weixi. Under such a strong contrast, Lin Weixi became more and more unlikable, and she was afraid, so she started to study hard.
It's a pity that Lin Weixi, a real child, can compare to the adult in Gao Ran's shell. In the classroom, the master still prefers Gao Ran and praises him frequently. The grandmother, father, and brother in the family are all slowly but not neglecting to change their positions. That kind of feeling is really terrifying, watching the things that originally belonged to her be taken away, the relatives who originally loved her became more like another person, and she didn't even know what she had to do to stop all this.
As if overnight, the family and friendship belonging to Gao Xi were taken away by Gao Ran, and in the end, only the mother Wei, and her eldest granddaughter's detached identity remained.
Of course she is afraid, sometimes the tougher the person looks, the weaker they are, and Lin Weixi is unfortunately one of those. In order to regain the attention of her relatives, and to keep the dignity of her only eldest sister, she began to work hard in private. In the boudoir school, Gao Ran can master new things with just a stick of incense, but Lin Weixi can't. She doesn't care on the surface, but after returning to her yard, she desperately rehabilitates and spends double the time to recover the backwardness in class. However, even if she worked so hard, she didn't dare to let people know.
She is too strong, she would rather smash the silver teeth and swallow her blood, than show the slightest effort in front of outsiders.
After her ten-year-old mother died from an accidental miscarriage, Princess Shoukang took her to the Princess Mansion in anger. Since then, she has lived in the Princess Mansion for more than a year and a half, and then she finally escaped the shadow of Gao Ran.
The ten-year-old Gao Xi really regarded Gao Ran as an insurmountable opponent. It was not until she saw the book from heaven that she realized that Gao Ran was not born intelligent. Gao Ran was just wearing a young shell, and with a twenty-six-year-old mind, he was like a duck to water among six-year-old children. When their peers were six years old, Gao Ran had an obvious advantage, but when they were sixteen or seventeen, the gap was very small.
Lin Weixi was growing, but Gao Ran was stagnant. Gao Ran is immersed in the false prosperity brought by age benefits, while ignoring the truths from ancient times, rowing against the current, not advancing or retreating. And Gao Xi worked harder than his peers because of the encouragement of a powerful concubine since he was a child.
In his previous life, Lin Weixi learned backgammon and checkers in private, and he could also remember Gao Ran's novel rhythm after listening to it once, but Gao Ran did not have a solid foundation for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
For Lin Weixi, who has a solid foundation in Go, backgammon is not difficult, she can understand it after secretly practicing two games in private. But for Gao Ran, once she is deprived of the advanced things that modern times brought her, she has nothing else.
Surprise is the way to win, but a general who can only rely on surprises will die in his own laxity and arrogance sooner or later. Gao Ran was too superstitious about his skills and neglected his true strength. There is also today's scene. Even if Gao Ran tried his best, he could not win against Lin Weixi, who had already learned Gobang.
Lin Weixi didn't expect that he would be able to win three games in three games before he shot, completely crushing it. It was also when she was holding the white jade chess piece that Lin Weixi suddenly realized that the peak that brought her endless pressure when she was ten years old and almost made her think it was insurmountable had collapsed. Gao Ran could no longer be Lin Weixi's opponent, except in matters of men and women.
Gu Chengyao is the fatal wound in Lin Weixi's heart. She has loved, hated, resented and abandoned herself when she was reborn, but Gu Chengyao just doesn't love her, what can she do? Along the way to Beijing, Lin Weixi spent so long with a foreigner for the first time in his life. With Zhou Maocheng and other taciturn sergeants taking care of him silently, Lin Weixi felt that maybe he might not be so bad, maybe Gu Chengyao was blind.
Lin Weixi now sees that Gu Chengyao no longer has the love and hatred he had when he was just reborn, she just wants to see that he is not doing well. If possible, Lin Weixi also wanted to run up and step on it himself.
To this day, Lin Weixi looked at the unfamiliar and familiar Prince Yan's Mansion, and at Jingtan Garden, which was almost identical to the former wedding court, and finally realized that she had reconciled with her past. Lin Weixi and Gao Xi have truly become one person since then.
Wan Xing and Wan Yue chatted for a long time, and found that Lin Weixi had not spoken for a long time. They both asked strangely, "Girl, what's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing." Lin Weixi stood up and walked to the window, pushing open the delicately carved vermilion lacquer wooden window, she looked at the vibrant spring outside the house, and a smile appeared on her lips, "I was just thinking, maybe it's time to look for it. Eldest Princess, proposed to move in with her."
Even if there is still unwillingness in the heart, people have to look forward after all. Yan Wangfu has passed, ex-husband Gu Chengyao, concubine Gao Ran, their love story let them toss by themselves, Lin Weixi should start his new life.
Wan Xing was very surprised to hear this: "Miss Lin, do you want to move out? Has someone wronged you? Girl, if you are wronged, we will go to King Yan, how can we let you move out?"
"No." Lin Weixi said, "I have no relationship with Prince Yan's mansion, and we always live here without a proper name. Prince Yan is polite and righteous and takes us into his own mansion to take care of us, but we can't really take care of these things. Take it for granted.”
Wan Xing wanted to say something, but Wan Yue held her back. Wan Yue said, "Miss, your scruples and servants understand, it's just... The girl has only met the eldest princess once. Is it too rash to propose to live in the princess' mansion?"
Lin Weixi was startled by what she said, and almost forgot that her surname was Lin now. She still regards Princess Shoukang as a grandmother in her heart, but to Princess Shoukang, Lin Weixi is just a little eye-sighted junior. As soon as I met, I wanted to rush to move to the Princess Mansion, which is too rude.
Lin Weixi rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Forget it, this matter has to be discussed in the long run. Today's words are all swallowed in your stomach, and you are not allowed to say it outside, you know?"
Wan Xing and Wan Yue quickly bowed their heads: "Yes."
Lin Weixi's plan to move to his grandmother's side was put on hold, and he could only continue to live in Yanwang's mansion. Lin Weixi even had the idea of buying a house in the capital. It doesn't need to be big, a junior is enough. Lin Weixi was still thinking about it here, but after several days on the other side, Gao Ran's inexplicable headache could be considered good. What happened that day was gently revealed, and Gao Ran was still a kind and generous princess.
Lin Weixi had already decided to let Gao Ran become the past, but Gao Ran refused. Gao Ran's hostility towards Lin Weixi became deeper and deeper, because Lin Weixi made Gao Ran lose face, and Gao Ran couldn't get over his face, so he had to make up for it in other ways.
One morning, Gao Ran invited Lin Weixi to her yard again. Lin Weixi was very tired and crooked, but she gave Gu Huiyan face and didn't want to make trouble with his daughter-in-law at King Yan's mansion, so she endured her nausea.
Not long after Lin Weixi sat down, he saw Ningfu brought a gold-plated rabbit incense burner from outside. The carving was exquisite and delicate, and the base was also inlaid with fine rubies.
Whether it is from the material or the craftsmanship, it is an unparalleled treasure.
Lin Weixi's eyes hurt when he saw this rabbit-shaped incense burner, Gao Ran put the incense burner on the high table, deliberately slowly lifted the lid, lit the incense cake, and said to Lin Weixi, "I'm used to lightness at home. The fragrance of my house is always unfamiliar to the Qi Nan in the palace. This is the Qianbuxiang sent by the shop under my name, using the latest fragrance material this year, Miss Lin, are you used to it?"
Lin Weixi didn't even look at it, and said coldly, "You can do whatever you want. You can burn it if you want."
At this time, Mother Tao came out of the house, holding a delicate and complicated carved lacquer box in her hand, looking anxious: "Where is the filigree and golden sapphire step shake of the prince? A complete set of sapphire head and face, why is this missing piece? branch?"
There was a chorus of maids in and out of the house. After a rush, the gorgeous Buyao was finally found. Lin Weixi watched them put the Buyao into the lacquer box. Pricked man's eyes hurt.
Lin Weixi simply didn't know what to say. If Gao Ran wanted to scare her away from her family, she should calmly change to a set of fine porcelain tea sets. Showing off gold and silver jewelry, what is this
But Tao's mother was still chattering in her ears, saying that this face was specially beaten by the British lady-in-law, and how much the prince and the old lady valued Gao Ran. Lin Weixi couldn't bear it any longer, and asked neither lightly nor seriously: "Since the Duke's Palace values the prince's concubine so much, why haven't you seen the wife of your palace come to talk to the prince's concubine these few days?"
Tao's mother stopped chattering, and even Gao Ran's expression froze.
Wife and grandmother are common names in big families, grandchildren and daughters-in-law are called grandma, and mother-in-law is called wife.
But obviously, no matter the wife or the wife, these titles have nothing to do with the concubines.
Lin Weixi didn't plan to wait for an answer. She looked at the rabbit-shaped incense burner that was spitting incense, and issued a second strike: "This incense burner is shaped like a rabbit. It's a novelty. Could it be that the princess is a rabbit?"
Gao Ran looked obviously embarrassed. Gao Ran belongs to the dragon, and she is one year younger than Gao Xi. The person born in the year of the Rabbit is Gao Xi. Obviously, it was created for Gao Xi.
The people in the room became quiet all of a sudden, Lin Weixi was very satisfied, she brought a smile to her lips, and issued a third blow: "I really envy the concubine Shizi who has ready-made gold and silverware, and in the future, I can directly melt and forge new jewelry. Although my father left me all the land deeds, gold books and iron coupons, and imperial awards, but these gold and silver utensils were all made by the Ministry of Rites and had a special stamp on them. If I wanted to use gold, I had to go outside. Buy now."
Gao Ran inherited part of Gao Xi's dowry, and was subsidized by his father and grandmother. It is true that he is rich, but taking part of the dowry from the prince's government is the same as inheriting the property of the entire Hou's residence
Lin Weixi was satisfied to see that this group of people shut up, what is not better than her, compared to money
Lin Weixi didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but in the end she had to force her to hate others. Wouldn't this group of people feel uncomfortable when they were scolded
Of course, Gao Ran couldn't sit here any longer, and Lin Weixi returned to his room sarcastically. But as soon as she sat down, the expression on her face changed.
"girl?"
Lin Weixi called Wan Xing over and whispered in his ear: "Go out and ask about Gao Ran's dowry. You don't have to ask specifically, just mention it casually when chatting."
Wan Xing quickly took the order and left. Lin Weixi looked at the delicate and delicate white porcelain vase on the pear wood table, and his teeth were still itchy.
No, Lin Weixi is still a layman, and she is clearly determined to turn everything over and start her life again, but seeing Gao Ran openly occupying Lin Weixi's former private property, she is still so angry that she wants to poison Gao Ran.
Is it bearable or unbearable, what is the dowry all about
Ningfu thought that Lin Weixi didn't know what warm jade was, so she quickly said, "Miss Lin has never seen this kind of jade, right? This is not an ordinary jade. Even in the capital, warm jade is priceless and difficult to find. Please, but in the dowry of the princess, it is just an ordinary dowry."
"Ningfu." Gao Ran said with a slight reproach, "It is the elders' wishes to give more dowry to less. This is because my grandmother cherishes me, so why are you talking about it?" After speaking, Gao However, looking at Lin Weixi, he nodded a little embarrassedly: "Let Miss Lin laugh. Don't take offense, Miss Lin, even if it is made of gold and jade, if it is not practical, it is just an external thing, we just play chess."
Lin Weixi looked at the chess piece in his hand, and smiled meaningfully: "Concubine Shizi is really open-minded."
Isn't it open-minded? A year ago, this was Lin Weixi's thing.
This was Lin Weixi's dowry in the past, and Gao Ran's maid hurriedly explained it to Lin Weixi.
Lin Weixi knew that after her death, her dowry would have to be redistributed by the British government, and she even tacitly acknowledged this possibility in her heart. But when the result was really presented in front of her naked, Lin Weixi found that he was still unable to let go.
Not only the game of chess in front of him, but Lin Weixi raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding gold and silver furnishings, blue and white porcelain, and even the sandalwood furniture, all with a sense of familiarity.
Lin Weixi quickly retracted her gaze, and she was so angry that she continued to look at it. Seeing Lin Weixi's face stiff, Gao Ran thought that Lin Weixi was deterred by his wealthy family background, and felt ashamed in his heart, he smiled clearly, and said, "Ningfu is a girl who always has no door on her mouth, and she often fails to speak her mind. , Say something or not, Miss Lin doesn't have to mind, she has no malicious intentions."
"If you can't keep your mouth shut, you'll be punished. If you don't know how to speak, then find a girl to sell it." Lin Weixi was uncomfortable at first, but when she heard this, she immediately froze. She looked at Gao Ran impatiently. , the voice still carried a delicate and sickly air, but the words he said were unforgiving, "My maid is not good at discipline, but let others take more care? Why should I take care of you, your dog is still not tied up when biting people. ?"
Wan Xing burst out laughing, she quickly shrank her shoulders and lowered her head when she noticed other people's eyes, even so, she could see that her shoulders were shaking slightly.
Wan Xing was bought directly from outside, and it was inevitably worse in big scenes. Wan Yue had experienced in the house, and now she is calmer than Wan Xing. Even if she really wanted to laugh, she had to hold back.
Ning Fu was embarrassed by what Lin Weixi said, and Wan Xing smiled at the back. She was ashamed and angry, and her eyes immediately turned red. Ningfu and the other dowry maids glared at Lin Weixi angrily, while Gao Ran was shamed by being scolded by her own maid in front of her.
