Out of the corner of Gao Ran's eyes, he saw Lin Weixi's "lonely" leaving, he smiled in his heart, and suddenly gave a soft "Yeah", revealing a little anxiety: "Look at my memory, I was busy talking to my grandmother, but I forgot the other one. People. Where's Miss Lin? Before I went out, I promised my father that I would take good care of Miss Lin today. I'm afraid she will recognize her when she comes out for the first time."
When the people around heard it, a fast-talking lady couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lin? Who is this?"
"A daughter of my father's old friend. She is also pitiful. Both her parents died and she was helpless. Her father took pity on her to be alone and brought her to the palace."
The ladies knew the story as soon as they heard it. The daughter of an old friend who was under the supervision of others, both parents died, and her background was pitiful. These ladies in charge laughed and said to Gao Ran: "The princess is really attentive and kind, and always remembers the daughter of an old friend."
Hou Zhongyong, Lin Yong, lost his voice after a while in the powerful and powerful capital. These ladies and wives with eyes above the top still remember who Hou Zhongyong is, and they will not think in this direction when they hear Lin's surname. I really thought that this was a character like a pitiful and pitiful cousin.
The British lady-in-law has a lot to say about this. Her eyes are no longer young and the light is indifferent, and her tone is light and scrutinized: "Is it the orphan girl that King Yan brought back some time ago? It's not easy for you to marry into the palace. The next thing is the most important thing, and you don't have to worry too much about other things."
The British lady-in-law didn't care much about this orphan girl, a nominal daughter of a Hou's mansion, who had no vision or knowledge, so she could just set up a place to live. Isn't it just a matter of words. Obviously, the British lady-in-law thinks this way, all because she has never seen Lin Weixi or been to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Gao Ran said it originally to show his benevolence and ability, but he was embarrassed by the British lady-in-law. Gao Ran secretly scolded the British princess for her feudal remnants, but she and this cheap grandmother were nothing more than a matter of face. Anyway, she didn't take the British government as her home, and it was all she needed to put on her face.
Gao Ran thought about it and said, "This girl Lin has a very poor background. Both her parents are dead, and she has no uncle or relatives. She has been staying at her aunt's house before. Later, the prince saw her lonely and brought her to the palace. I When I was born, my grandmother and my father took care of me, but I didn't know there were such poor people in the world. When I saw Miss Lin, I felt more and more grateful to my family. It is God's virtue to have my grandmother to protect me, so I want to support me more and more. Miss Lin, one or two, if the Buddha sees it, he may be able to accumulate blessings on his grandmother and brother."
As soon as these words came out, the British lady-in-law repeatedly called her good children, and the ladies around also praised Gao Ran for her filial piety. Gao Ran pursed his lips and smiled. After declining for a while, he turned around and asked Ning Fu softly, "What about Miss Lin, why did your time disappear after a while? Just now that all the ladies are here, I will introduce Miss Lin to my grandmother and grandmother. Ladies."
Gao Ran thought of her previous life. When she was looking for a relationship to join a rich second-generation party, classmate Bai Fumei, who took her to the banquet, introduced her to others in this way. Gao Ran was apprehensive and joyful at that time, thinking that she was accepted by that class. Until the same scene happened to her today, Gao Ran didn't know what was accepted by another class. Kind of condescending alms.
Gao Ran looked around and couldn't find Lin Weixi. Seeing her like this, the surrounding ladies also looked around: "Xiyuan is the imperial forbidden garden, why are you running around..."
They were looking around when suddenly a voice came from behind: "The dragon boat hasn't started yet, what are you looking for?"
Everyone turned back, and when they saw the people who came, they all laughed: "Waifu for the ancestors."
The people in the British government were embarrassed, but they continued to say hello to the eldest princess Shoukang: "Please, the eldest princess."
The eldest princess Shoukang walked slowly with the help of others. She smiled happily. Although there were traces of years on her face, she was much more energetic than before, and the whole person looked full of vigor, as if she was several years younger. She asked with a smile, "It depends on how lively you are talking from a distance. Who are you talking about?"
Gao Ran hurriedly wanted to answer, but was intercepted by another fast-talking young lady: "Prince Prince was talking about the woman brought back by His Royal Highness King Yan two days ago. I heard that both parents died and she stayed in the palace. The woman is very considerate. We are praising the filial piety of the imperial concubine."
"Oh?" Princess Shoukang gave Gao Ran a cold look, with undisguised sarcasm in her eyes, "If I hadn't known girl Lin, and listened to Concubine Shi's description, I would have thought that King Yan had brought back another person. ."
It is a well-known secret that the eldest Princess Shoukang does not deal with Gao Ran and the British government, but no one expected that Shoukang would not show his face in such a big scene today. Everyone's laughter froze, Gao Ran was highly sought after in the capital, but could not speak in front of Princess Shoukang. The eldest princess Shoukang is Gao Ran's nominal grandmother, and Gao Ran has no qualifications to connect.
The face of the British duchess sank. She and Shoukang are old princes of the same generation. If Shoukang had the title of princess, how could the British duchess, whose children and grandchildren spare their knees, be afraid of her. However, having said that, the identity of the princess is not a joke, the British lady is not happy, and she has to turn around and say: "The third girl is sincere, what happened to the eldest princess, and she is angry with the third girl? "
Shoukang sneered, ignored it, turned around and looked kind and kind, patted the hand of the person beside him lovingly, and said, "Since you talk about her, then I will show you my new The recognized granddaughter, Sister Xi."
After hearing this title, many familiar wives were stunned, Sister Xi? They looked at the woman beside the eldest Princess Shoukang, and found that this young girl was beautiful and shining. Although she had never seen it before, it was obviously not Gao Xi, the eldest lady of the British government.
Lin Weixi took a step forward and greeted everyone in a smooth manner: "Waifu, madam."
Seeing everyone's doubts, Princess Shoukang smiled and said, "This child was brought by King Yan, and I fell in love with her the first time I saw her, and she was no different from my own granddaughter. I don't know what happened, it's only been a few days. I haven't seen her, just like it's been a few years. As soon as I saw her, I called her away. Sister Xi was polite and said that she couldn't leave without a word, so I brought her here and said to Concubine Shizi, she will be in a while. Follow me, there is no need for the imperial concubine to pretend to look after me."
The nobles and nobles of the capital gave Gao Ran face, but the eldest princess Shoukang obviously didn’t need it. Gao Ran was ridiculed by the eldest princess Shoukang in front of everyone. I originally wanted to let several ladies meet Miss Lin, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by my grandmother."
"Good intentions? Sister Xi can't use your good intentions." Shoukang snorted coldly and said, "It's true that she lost her family when she was young, but her father was posthumously named Marquis of Zhongyong by the court, and she has a thousand acres of fertile land in her name. It’s easy to buy property anywhere. King Yan told me just two days ago that Sister Xi is only temporarily staying in the palace, so why is it being said so badly when she arrives at your place?”
The eldest princess was teaching the younger generation, and the ladies quietly raised their eyebrows, all smiled subtly and bowed their heads without interjecting. The British princess couldn't see it anymore, and frowned: "The third girl is obviously kind, I am afraid that the eldest princess is prejudiced, so she doesn't see anything right. Besides, what sister Xi, why is she called this name?"
One bite at a time, Sister Xi, heard the British lady's heart skip a beat. If she hadn't known that it was impossible, she would have thought that Shoukang was calling Gao Xi.
What is her name? When Lin Weixi heard that his former grandmother could say such words, he felt sad in his heart, and the smile on his face became cold: "My little girl's name is Weixi, and my father has called me Sister Xi since I was young. Listen to Mrs. I mean, is my name wrong? But it was left by my father. Now that my father has passed away, how can I change my name?"
"What name to change, she has a ghost in her own heart, does she still care what other people's names are?" Shou Kang glanced at the British lady-in-law angrily, with a bad tone, "The Marquis of Zhongyong sacrificed his life for the country, and it was planned by the emperor and his first assistant. Loyal and brave man. Now there is only a drop of blood left in the Lin family, let go of the domineering style of the lady of the country. You cannot bully such a martyr's widow."
The face of the British duchess is ashen, and the reputation of bullying orphans and widows is the most unpleasant, and if the other party is a child of a martyr, he will be impeached if he is not careful. The British mansion is indeed gaining momentum now, but this is mostly due to the in-laws of the Yanwang mansion. , he could only put a soft expression on his face and said, "I just heard this name familiar and I mentioned it casually. How could it be understood by Miss Lin as a name change? I went, and I regretted it in my heart, and when I heard the familiar name, I couldn't help but feel dazed."
Lin Weixi lowered his eyes, his eyes turned with disdain and sadness. It's so funny that the British lady-in-law used the dead as a shield. She was attacked by her grandmother with her own death in front of her.
Seeing this, the lady standing next to her hurriedly said, "It's alright, it's all a misunderstanding. It's good to say it. This girl looks good, and this is the first time I've seen such a beauty."
Lin Weixi's mood fluctuated, and when he saw this, he just pretended to be shy and lowered his head, hiding the strong resentment and anger in his eyes. The eldest princess Shoukang didn't want to cause unhappiness on a good day. Besides, she was still in the palace, and she followed with a smile: "Sister Xi just gave her filial piety the day before yesterday, so she came out for a walk, and it was the first time she appeared, which made you laugh. ."
"What did the eldest princess say?" The wives looked at Lin Weixi with eager light in their eyes. It turned out to be the widow of Marquis Zhongyong, who was very hot in the capital some time ago. I didn't expect that I was so beautiful, and I spoke so gracefully. Now I have the eyes of the eldest princess, which is amazing. Listening to Gao Ran's narration just now, they really thought it was a nameless and shabby house.
The eldest princess Shoukang patted Lin Weixi's hand affectionately, and scolded everyone: "You can't look down on her because she has no relatives, and when she gets married, I have to take out the bottom of my press box and give it to her. Hold the door."
Of course, everyone laughed and said ingenious things, and the wife with a son at home was already thinking about it. Although Lin Weixi's background is not high, she can't resist the rich dowry. She can take away all the assets of the Hou's mansion. She has the eldest princess to add makeup, and her appearance still looks like this... If she marries back to the mansion in the future, the name of the Lin family's loyalty and bravery will be Also a very useful bargaining chip.
Seeing that the eldest princess Shoukang had achieved her goal, she laughed, leaving two polite words and taking Lin Weixi away. From the beginning to the end, Princess Shoukang didn't pay much attention to Gao Ran, and she and the British government didn't even bother to pretend.
Gao Ran insisted on smiling, and after the people walked away, a lady casually complained to Gao Ran: "Prince Concubine Shi is really, you are so humble, I really thought she was the daughter of an ordinary family. After loyalty, Lord Hou Widow, this status is okay, but she has no relatives, which is a bit of a disadvantage. But she is good-looking, so these flaws are nothing."
Gao Ran's eyes became cold when he heard that, and the other lady also echoed: "Isn't it true, I have met many people in Beijing for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such an outstanding talent. It's time for youth, it's good to be young! Hey, what's wrong with you, Concubine Shizi?"
Gao Ran turned his head and smiled gently: "It's nothing, I was a little distracted when I remembered the prince's order before going out."
When Gu Chengyao was mentioned, the ladies immediately put down Lin Weixi and talked about Yan Wang's mansion with great interest. Gao Ran focused on himself again, and then snorted softly in his heart. Gao Ran originally planned to put down Lin Weixi's first appearance. As long as the first impression of these ladies was destroyed, Lin Weixi would not want to marry into a good family in the future. However, I didn't expect that Lin Weixi would catch up with Princess Shoukang so quickly, and Shoukang was willing to come forward to introduce Lin Weixi. The first introducer to enter the social circle is the most important. However, if there is no support from Princess Shoukang, how can these official wives with eyes above the top smoothly accept Lin Weixi, a beautiful woman from a poor family.
Gao Ran had been preparing for a long time, but now he got such a result, and he was extremely bored.
The eldest princess Shoukang enthusiastically led Lin Weixi to meet the princes and marquis. Although Lin Weixi knew these people, she still took the kindness of her grandmother and greeted the ladies and wives obediently all the way. This circle took a lot of effort. If Princess Shoukang was not very energetic, she would have to introduce Lin Weixi to the Queen Mother Qian.
Lin Weixi and the servants of the princess' manor persuaded Princess Shoukang to sit down in the palace. After sitting down, the dragon boat was about to start. The Queen Mother Qian took many female relatives to the special platform, and it was difficult for the court female relatives to have fun. This kind of dragon boat race was already a rare event. Everyone was in high spirits. Although Lin Weixi was not too curious, but there were many people in the stands, she was afraid of what would happen, so she was also tense and carefully supported Shoukang.
Thanks to Lin Weixi's nervousness. I don't know which child was blocked from sight. He was impatient and reached out to push the person in front of him. How could the female family standing in the front think that someone behind her would push her, and suddenly she was hit hard on the waist. She was already pregnant, and this time she was unstable and almost fell into the water. Lin Weixi's eyes were wrong. , quickly reach out and pull. The female family members screamed and jumped forward, Lin Weixi grabbed her hand, and only barely grabbed her. The woman was young, and after this change, she was so frightened that Lin Weixi was also very frightened. She was not angry, she asked the pushing child with a sullen face: "Whose child are you? Such a thing?"
