It was rainy during the Dragon Boat Festival, and after the rain at the palace banquet, the capital was shrouded in a gray rain curtain for several days.
"Miss Lin." The visitor ran quickly across the yard and put away the rain gear in the hand porch. She patted the water on her body and smiled at Lin Weixi, "Miss Lin, Concubine Lin is looking for you for something."
Wan Xing looked at the rain outside, and looked at the messenger doubtfully: "It's still raining, why did Concubine Shizi call us a girl at such a time?"
"I don't know about this servant. Maybe there is something urgent to tell Miss Lin."
When Lin Weixi heard this, he stood up from the narrow couch and said, "Since there is an urgent matter, let's go now."
Wan Xing hurriedly went inside to get a cloak for Lin Weixi, while she was tidying up the pleats on Lin Weixi's clothes, she muttered: "The girl is a little cold when she comes back from the palace, and today she went out to blow the cold wind, don't make the girl sick. already."
"Wanxing."
Wan Yue twisted Wan Xing in the dark, and quickly pulled Wan Xing away. Lin Weixi glanced lightly, tightened his cloak, and walked out.
The rain fell from the eaves, and from a distance, it formed silver lines. Lin Weixi was walking on the veranda. Even though the eaves above his head blocked the rain, the corners of his clothes were still wet.
In the main room, Gao Ran was talking to a well-dressed old maid when she saw Lin Weixi come in and waved her hand inside: "Miss Lin is here, go and sit inside first, I still have some things to do, please Miss Lin. Wait a minute."
Lin Weixi glanced at the woman in the hall and went inside without saying anything.
The woman saw Lin Weixi walking to the back room without saying a word, her eyes darted towards Lin Weixi's back, she lowered her voice, and said to Gao Ran with frowning: "Prince Concubine, this is the real one, the lord is thinking about the old. En gave her a three-point honor, and she really slapped her nose and face! In front of the prince, she can say tricks and tricks, but she dares to slap the face of the imperial concubine."
"Sun's mother, stop talking." Gao Ran increased his voice slightly and said, "She is the only daughter of a hero, and her father died to save the prince. It is inevitable that she is a little withdrawn. You can talk to me about these words. Forget it, when you go outside, don't mention it again."
"Princess Shizi, you are just too kind." Mrs. Sun frowned, and she muttered something, then rubbed her hands and mentioned another matter, "Princess Shizi, look at the errand in the kitchen..."
Lin Weixi sat on the soft cushion, and across the wooden lattice of the screen, he vaguely heard Gao Ran and Mrs. Sun whispering something, and then talked about the kitchen procurement. Even if she hadn't heard the previous content clearly, Lin Weixi could have guessed that it was definitely not a good word, and she had seen it long ago when Mrs.
Speaking of business, Gao Ran didn't lower his voice deliberately. Lin Weixi sat inside and listened intermittently. Mrs. Sun complained that life was not easy, and she was talking about the hard work in the kitchen, and in the end, it was all about Princess Shen. With a single mouth, Mrs. Sun is very able to say, under her tongue, it seems that she is really a loyal old servant, working hard for the palace, but unfortunately she offended the previous concubine. Grandma Sun's family withdrew from the acquisition position. Although Mrs. Sun still stayed in the kitchen, it was not a matter of life. She couldn't even get the stove on, but she was just fooling their family.
Grandma Sun said that at the end she wiped away her tears and cried, and the maids around her also looked at each other with affection. Gao Ran sighed and said, "I understand your loyalty. You are an old man who has accumulated many years. Since your mother-in-law was alive, you have been a slave in the Yanwang Mansion. There is no doubt about your loyalty. Even if you don't mention your hard work over the years, With the kindness of my mother-in-law alone, I will not treat your family badly."
After hearing this, Grandma Sun clapped her hands with tears in her eyes: "If I can get the words of the imperial concubine, the old slave will be willing to die immediately!"
"Don't talk like this, it's so polite, talking about what to do with life and death for no reason is unlucky." Gao Ran said angrily, flipped through the roster, and said, "Since it was just a misunderstanding before, then you were sent to the edge by Sister Xi. I'm really aggrieved. In my opinion, your family should come back and take charge of the kitchen procurement. You are familiar with the vendors in the vegetable market, and I will rest assured that the procurement will be handed over to you. "
Grandma Sun was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Xie Shizi Concubine."
Lin Weixi was holding the tea and slowly blowing the heat, she shook her head and smiled when she heard this. Mrs. Sun really has a good mouth. I am afraid that Gu Chengyao was also deceived by such rhetoric before.
Grandma Sun is indeed an old servant for many years, but who said that old servants are loyal servants? The more intertwined the family slaves are, the more likely they are to do unclean things. Lin Weixi checked the accounts last year, and found that the kitchen was in short supply. Relying on the fact that Lin Weixi was a bride who didn't understand the account book, this old woman fooled her with her hands and feet on the account book, and was scolded by Lin Weixi. At that time, Mrs. Sun was also showing her loyalty and clinging to Princess Shen, and Mrs. Sun served by Princess Shen's side, which was also the basis for her unscrupulous behavior and wanton corruption in the house. Lin Weixi didn't even look at it at that time, and directly threw their family out of the kitchen. If it wasn't for her mother-in-law Princess Shen's face, how could Grandma Sun keep an idle job in the kitchen.
In the end, after a long time, Gao Xi died of illness, and the grandmother Sun saw that she was empty, and ran out to be a demon and sell miserably. Gao Ran was also confused, but he actually believed it and restored him to his original position.
In fact, Gao Ran didn't necessarily believe the words of Mrs. Sun, but Mrs. Sun looked simple and honest. Even if a person with such a face had his own selfishness, he would not be a wicked person. Mrs. Sun was sent off by Gao Xi before because the shopping and money did not match up. Gao Ran turned over the account book and deeply felt that Gao Xi was making a fuss.
Being a mistress is just like the executives before the time-travel. When the water is clear, there are no fish. Can the people in the purchasing department really not be greedy at all? Impossible, so Gao Ran revoked Gao Xi's punishment when he saw that there was no major problem in the ledger. Gao Ran sighed inwardly at Gao Xi, Gao Xi looked like a famous and noble girl, and claimed to be brought up by the eldest princess herself, but why doesn't she even have this emotional intelligence? I only know how to scold the subordinates and ask them not to make any mistakes. No wonder Gao Xi was mixed up like this, and no one in the palace said she was good when she died. If my EQ is not enough, who can I blame
Gao Ran was in a good mood, and the regrets of the previous life seemed to be filled in this life. She is also the daughter of a famous family. Bai Fumei, who has stepped on all living beings, became a "senior executive" as soon as she "graduated" from her parents' home. Gao Ran firmly believes that with his emotional intelligence, he will be able to mix like a duck in water. In this way, she was delayed by her own class before crossing, otherwise she was no worse than those Bai Fumei who had a family business.
Gao Ran walked briskly into the room, but she didn't forget that there was still a trouble sitting here. Gao Ran smiled and sat opposite Lin Weixi, and apologized again and again: "There are innumerable trivial matters in the palace every day, and I can't get away if I'm in a hurry. It's rude to keep Miss Lin waiting for a long time."
Lin Weixi ignored Gao Ran's insincere apology. Lin Weixi clearly knew that Gao Xi was dead, and how did the Yan Wangfu have nothing to do with her after that, but the once hard work was ruined. It was a pity that Lin Weixi couldn't help reminding this successor. The author said, "It would be prudent for Concubine Shi to hand over the major matters of kitchen procurement to them with only one-sided words."
Yo, she even wanted to point fingers at her housekeeper, Gao Ran looked at Lin Weixi with a half-smiling smile: "This is a family matter in my Prince Yan's residence, so Miss Lin doesn't need to worry about it, right?"
Lin Weixi snorted lightly, his eyes wandered, he didn't bother to look at Gao Ran again, and reminded Gao Ran.
Gao Ran thought he had won, and he was in a better mood, and his words became soaring: "Miss Lin, you are already sixteen years old this year. You are a month old, so you should be counted as seventeen."
Lin Weixi raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"What can I mean, it's just for Miss Lin's consideration." Gao Ran smiled and said, "Now that your father's filial piety has been removed, it's impossible to say if you don't marry. You're seventeen and you haven't gotten married yet. After the six ceremonies, I will be eighteen when I marry my husband. To be honest, I am already a little old, and if I don’t hurry, I am too old, and I may delay childbirth.”
Lin Weixi really didn't expect this kind of words to be said by Gao Ran. If she guessed correctly, the world before Gao Ran's transmigration was very tolerant of women's marriage age? Lin Weixi really did not expect that a person who traveled to ancient times would be even more keen on marrying and having children than her ancient clan woman. What happened to the seventeen-year-old who didn't get married? What if she doesn't marry for life
Lin Weixi was disgusted when she heard these words. She looked impatient and said coldly, "You called me here on a rainy day for this kind of thing? If there is nothing else, then I will go first."
Gao Xi stopped Lin Weixi's movements, still smiling, staring at Lin Weixi without moving: "Miss Lin doesn't want to get married, does she really want to pray for her father, or do you have any thoughts about Prince Yan's mansion?"
Lin Weixi's face has completely cooled down, there is no smile on her face, her eyes are dark and bright, and it is like a red bead immersed in ice water for a while, and it is icy and fiery: "Prince Prince, pay attention to your words."
"Miss Lin is still angry?" Gao Xi smiled and sipped her tea, covering her lips, "It's my fault, I shouldn't tell this kind of girl's thoughts. After all, which girl doesn't have a sense of spring, Miss Lin has the right color, and she is very friendly to young people. It makes sense for a talented person to fall in love at first sight. But, Miss Lin, the prince is already married."
Lin Weixi sneered and looked at Gao Ran with a half-smile, "I know, it's still a second marriage."
Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, and she quickly adjusted her expression to hide her gaffe: "Even if I am the successor, I am the first concubine and the wife of the Ming media. I don't understand, this is called intercourse without a matchmaker, and a third party intervenes."
"It's like you didn't know Gu Chengyao until after your sister died. You should leave this to yourself." Lin Weixi sensed Gao Ran's gaze, and greeted him without dodging, even raising his eyebrows slightly. "Why, did I say it wrong? Then why did you get engaged to your eldest brother-in-law within a month after the death of the concubine in the previous life?"
Gao Ran felt a pain in her heart, she took a deep breath, and found that she really couldn't talk to Lin Weixi, or she would be killed by Lin Weixi! Gao Ran immediately changed the subject and said, "Whatever Miss Lin says, you have a good tongue. We honest and clumsy people can't talk about you. But Miss Lin is already old and she is too old to leave the cabinet. The girl can't deny it? Logically, you believe in Lin, our surname is Gu, and the fact of your marriage is not our time to worry about it. But after all, you live in Yanwang's mansion, and you have no name or distinction. If you get married, then I am afraid that outsiders will talk about our Yan Wangfu."
Lin Weixi looked at Gao Ran coldly: "Shut up. Who gave you the courage to slander my reputation?"
"Insulting? If Miss Lin really has no idea about the prince, why would she be dragged on by Prince Yan's mansion and refuse to kiss her?" Gao Ran's expression became cold, "You are willing to stare at other people's husbands, but I don't want to. I've already made an agreement with Mrs. Qian that Er Gongzi Qian is just the right age and is not yet married. It is logical that such a wonderful marriage cannot fall on outsiders, but who made Er Gongzi Qian take a fancy to Miss Lin's beauty? It's a good story, since this is the case, Mrs. Qian is not picky about your background and family, and after reporting to the Queen Mother, the Qian family will send someone to exchange Geng Tie."
Lin Weixi's eyes widened when he heard this: "What did you say? Qian Er?"
Qian Er is a well-known playboy in the capital, Mianhua Suliu, ignorant and ignorant. What Lin Weixi despised the most was this kind of rambunctious son who relied on his parents to make a fortune and prestige. No matter before or after his rebirth, she didn't even look at this kind of person, but now Gao Ran is carrying her behind her back, agreeing The Qian family's proposal
"Yes, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and the eldest son of the Qian family. The fact of this marriage is unimaginable. Speaking of which, you should climb up the ranks. The second son of Qian doesn't mind the rank, and he is willing to marry a woman from a poor family. It's a great blessing." After speaking, Gao Ran glanced at Lin Weixi's face, the meaning was self-evident. Relying on the body and beauty, it is still the main room of the Empress Dowager's nephew, so be content.
Lin Weixi was so angry that she calmed down. She asked: "You said that the Qian family will come to exchange Geng posts after reporting to the Empress Dowager. You have given them the right words?"
"Yeah, what a marriage. You'd be crying if you let Joe slip away."
"Heh, you're trying to cling to the high door, and others will look down on it. When did you agree? What did you tell the Qian family?"
"That's the son of the Qian family, you can be content." Gao Ran sighed, very impatient, "If you want to go to Princess Shoukang's house to rescue soldiers, then I advise you not to waste your efforts. Princess Shoukang She has no children and no descendants, and she is still unable to protect herself, so how can she dare to shame the queen mother's family. Listen to my advice. For you, being able to marry into the Qian family or be the principal family is already a blessing across the class. already."
Lin Weixi's eyes were bright, like fire and ice: "Gao Ran, you are really shameless. Who do you think you are, and dare to take charge of my marriage? You married your brother-in-law by a crooked way, and now you still use To persuade others to cling to a man in a noble and noble tone, it is a shame for the British government."
Gao Ran was stabbed at the sore spot by this sentence, and immediately pulled his face down: "Don't put your nose on your face, I'll give you three points of face for my father's sake, do you really think I'm afraid of you? I'm the lady of the British government. , Concubine of the Crown Prince of Yan, you are only a commoner woman, it is upbringing for me to talk to your peers, but if you really yell at me, then you are ignorant."
"You know who Qian Er is, yet you dare to promise in private. Are you not afraid of being stabbed in the spine when you do such a depraved thing?"
Gao Ran sneered disdainfully: "Are you going to sue King Yan again? Then you can say it as much as you can, so that everyone can see if this marriage is a good match, and whether it is for your own good. Lin Weixi, you are the heart Higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper, if you want to compare with me, it will be boring. I am the prince concubine of Yan Wang, and I will become Yan Wangfei in the future. My son is born as the future prince, and other direct sons will also be sealed King of the county. My children and grandchildren will become royal nobles, enjoying the worship of the people, and the chief and assistant generals will be replaced, but the king will not. As long as they do not commit the crime of rebellion, they will be nobles for life. And you, you have What? A titular marquis, with a face that has a face, even if you marry with your face, your husband is just a son of an official, promotion depends on the emperor's favor and fortune. Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell to the emperor Family, I am the royal family, and you are the busker. Not only you, but even your descendants are destined to be inferior to my blood in the future."
Lin Weixi stared at Gao Ran motionless, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and Gao Ran even looked back with a smile. Yes, what if Lin Weixi is angry? Gao Ran is already the prince concubine of King Yan. Looking at the capital, few people are more noble than Gao Ran. What can Lin Weixi do as an orphaned woman
Lin Weixi watched, without saying a word, stood up and forced the curtain to go away. The bead curtain made a crisp collision sound, Ningfu frowned when she saw this, and stepped forward: "Prince Concubine..."
"It's okay." Gao Ran stretched out his hand to stop Ningfu's movements, shook his head with a smile, "She can lose her temper now, don't care about her rudeness, go and do your business."
Ning Fu responded and retreated quietly. Gao Ran looked at the rain curtain outside the window and murmured, "The rain is getting heavier again..."
Lin Weixi didn't look back, and walked quickly into the rain screen. The rain fell on the ground, causing a white mist, covering the entire corridor. Lin Weixi walked on the edge of the corridor, his pace was fast, and his clothes were half wet in a short time. Wan Yue hurried out, trying to put a cape on Lin Weixi: "Girl, you are weak and can't get wet in the rain."
Lin Weixi was upset, and his voice was cold and severe: "Don't follow me, I want to stay by myself for a while."
"Girl!" Wan Yue was not frightened by Lin Weixi's coldness, she rushed to Lin Weixi despite the rain, forcibly stopped Lin Weixi, and tied her cape: "Girl, even if you are not happy in your heart, you can't live with your body. When you go out, you are a little cold, if you get rained again, and you are blown by the cold wind, you may not know how you will suffer when you go back."
Wan Yue forcibly pulled her back, but Lin Weixi tried to shake her off but was unsuccessful. She struggled a few times, and with this movement, her mind gradually calmed down.
Using other people's mistakes to punish his own body is simply the most stupid way. Lin Weixi stopped struggling and let Wan Yue use her cloak to cage her.
Seeing that Lin Weixi finally calmed down, Wan Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. After she adjusted Lin Weixi's collar, she stepped back and stood quietly behind Lin Weixi, listening to the incessant rain outside the corridor with her.
Gao Ran is right. Her hand is indeed despicable, but what can Lin Weixi do with her? Lin Weixi is not worried about the marriage with the Qian family. It is difficult to make a marriage, but it is too easy to destroy it. As long as she insists not to marry, or twists her hair with scissors, can the Qian family still force her to marry? Only in this way, Lin Weixi's half-life, the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, is inevitable.
What Lin Weixi really cares about is that if Gao then comes, the prince will be beheaded for three generations, but the prince will remain unchanged for generations. The eldest son of the prince is the heir as soon as he is born, and he will inherit the prince in the future. . So Gao Ran is right, King Yan has reached the peak of power, and even the emperor has to rely on King Yan. In the future, the palace of King Yan will only be honored from generation to generation, and the descendants will be endless.
Gao Ran dares to do this, isn't it because others can't really treat her like this? Even if Lin Weixi relieved herself from her temporary troubles, could she endure this sigh and let Gao Ran maliciously plot against her
However, even if she couldn't bear it, what could she do to Gao Ran!
Lin Weixi stood in the corridor for a long time, even if the feet of her skirt were all wet by the rain, she did not dodge. Wan Yue looked anxiously: "Girl, it's raining and windy, let's go back first!"
"What are you going to do?" Lin Weixi suddenly moved, she smiled gently at the rain curtain, her face was snow-white, her lips were blushing, but her eyes were terribly indifferent, and in the gray rain curtain, she was simply thrilling.
Wan Yue was startled and horrified, her heart was pounding, she heard Lin Weixi ask in that calm, as if nothing had happened, "What time is it?"
"Shin Shimo."
Lin Weixi smiled when she heard the words, turned around and left without even saying where she was going. Wan Yue felt a little scared, but she was worried that Lin Weixi was alone, so she could only quickly follow.
The guard outside the study was staring at the front with all his attention, and he did not relax because of the rain. Suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the person who came in surprise: "Miss Lin?"
Lin Weixi walked all the way, and now the skirt corners are all wet, and even her hair is slightly wet from the rain, and a few locks naughty stick to her forehead and temples, making her skin whiter than snow, and her beauty is amazing.
"Is King Yan inside?"
"Your Highness is here." The guard looked at Lin Weixi with hesitation in his eyes. Lin Weixi raised his eyebrows: "I can't enter?"
"Of course not! It's just that, Miss Lin, you got wet in the rain. Do you need someone to come over and take care of your grooming?"
"No need." Seeing that the guard had no objection, Lin Weixi stepped directly into the hospital. Gu Huiyan's study is located in a separate courtyard, and it is more quiet because of the rain.
Gu Mingda was also startled when he saw Lin Weixi: "Miss Lin? Why are you being drenched like this? Wait a minute, girl, I'll find a servant girl..."
A clear voice came from inside, perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was still a little low: "What's wrong?"
Lin Weixi's eyes were sore for some reason, and he took two quick steps in the direction of the voice: "His Royal Highness Yan."
Gu Huiyan came out of the study and saw Lin Weixi. He was surprised at first, and then he lowered his eyes: "What's the matter? Who is the person serving, why did she get wet?"
Wan Yue kept her head down, and when she heard this, she immediately knelt down. Lin Weixi stopped Wan Yue with dark eyes, staring at King Yan intently and stubbornly: "It's none of her business. King Yan, I have something to tell you."
Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi, her eyes were quite as if she would never give up if she didn't achieve her goal. Gu Huiyan sighed and said, "You go out."
Gu Mingda said nothing, closed the door and stepped back. Lin Weixi stood on the spot and saw Gu Huiyan turned and walked in. She hesitated. There were many secrets in King Yan's study, and she was not sure whether she could go in. Before she could think about it, she saw Gu Huiyan come out from the inside with a white silk in her hand: "The hot water is outside, you wipe your hair first. You know your own body, and you can say what you want to say when you want. It's not too late, but if you toss your body and get sick, it's you who suffers."
Lin Weixi took the white silk, thinking that she was also a beautiful, young girl at a young age, wiping her hair indecently in front of a man, what is this called. Seeing her not moving, Gu Huiyan asked calmly, "Why, don't you want to?"
"Silk cloth doesn't absorb water. Even if you want me to wipe my hair, you should take a cotton cloth out."
Gu Huiyan was really helpless: "Okay, I'll keep it for you next time."
But thanks to this interruption, Lin Weixi's excited emotions calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, his mind became clearer: "King Yan, I have something to tell you."
"I still remember." Gu Huiyan didn't take this matter to heart, he sat back at his desk, held up a pen with his sleeves up, moistened the tip of the pen, and said casually, "Tell me."
"You promised me before that if I have any wishes, as long as they are not excessive, you will satisfy me?"
While writing, Gu Huiyan responded, "Well."
Lin Weixi breathed lightly: "Your Highness, are you missing a wife?"
The ink on the nib flickered, and the letter to Zhang Xiaolian was immediately destroyed.
Gu Huiyan raised his head and looked at her deeply: "What did you say?"
