Lin Yunfang was quite surprised when Zheng Liu was mentioned.
"I have a very good relationship with her. She asked me several times if she could play with you. I came back and asked you before that you happened to be busy." When Lin Yunfang said this, something suddenly occurred to her and she said happily, "She I sent a post before saying that I was going to have a flower party, would you like to go with me?"
The scorching heat has passed, but the heat has not subsided, so it is really not a good time to enjoy flowers.
The so-called flower party is when girls find a way to have fun.
And Lin Yunyan came here for this one: "Go, of course I want to go."
"She must be happy to know that you are going," Lin Yunfang said happily, then asked, "Speaking of which, didn't the second sister know her before?"
Lin Yunyan curved her lips, and behind the smile was a hint of mockery.
Of course she recognized Zheng Liu.
Once upon a time, Zheng Liu married Liu Xun, Liu Jing's son, and was Lin Yunyan's "sister-in-law".
The relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family was not harmonious, especially between Liu Jing and Liu Xun's father and son. The conflicts were almost written on his face.
That is to say, there are very few daily interactions, which makes it appear relatively "peaceful".
Lin Yunyan also had no unnecessary contact with her. Her sister-in-law's surname and character were not kept in her mind. However, before Zheng Liu became her sister-in-law, Lin Yunyan's most profound impression of this person was " The villain who framed Yunfang.
Lin Yunfang is good at horse hanging, and she often fights when she goes out to play with girls of the same age.
Zheng Liu is one of Lin Yunfang's poker friends.
But at this flower party, Zheng Liu accused Lin Yunfang of cheating.
On other people's territory, Zheng Liu spoke with certainty, and there were testimonies around, so Lin Yunfang couldn't defend himself at all.
That day, Lin Yunfang came back home crying.
"I am so close to her, and I think of her every time I do anything good. Why would she frame me?"
"I can't figure it out! Didn't you really mean it before?"
Lin Yunfang insists that she is innocent, and her family also believes in her innocence, but no one can prove it.
With such a stigma, you can only argue on the spot. Once you leave the table, nothing can be done.
After that, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the foreign women came into the palace to say hello to the Empress Dowager.
Grandmother specifically asked Madam Yunyang to clarify Lin Yunfang's matter, but was blocked by the other side.
"It's children's stuff, they're fighting, why are we adults getting involved?"
"Isn't it just a fight? There are winners and losers. Do you, Yunfang, take winning and losing too seriously?"
"I also told Liu'er later, sisters who are such good friends, how about falling out over a fight? Yunfang didn't do the right thing, just tell her in private, but not in public. No wonder you are anxious, sister."
"Since your family is so insistent, let's take a step back. What's the prize for that day? I'll just ask Liu'er to give it to Yun Fang. It's such a big deal."
There are no curses in every sentence, and good gestures in every sentence, but every sentence is a knife.
How can grandma's face stand up to this?
When a smiling person faces a smiling person, what advantage can the little Duan with no credentials and evidence have the upper hand? She was not good at this either.
Mrs. Xu Guogong also came up and said something like "I won't change my impression of Yun Jing just because of my sister's incident."
Lin Yunyan supported little Duan and wanted to say a few words in reply to Mrs. Yunyang, but she swallowed them all in the end.
In the Cining Palace, her voice was louder and her tone was heavier. She was taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's favor to make unreasonable troubles. Her voice was softer and her words were softer. The old lady's hypocritical and sarcastic words would only make people angry. Their grandparents and grandchildren are becoming more and more passive.
Having no basis or evidence is their biggest weakness.
The bad reputation has since fallen on Lin Yunfang, and the originally optimistic third sister has stopped laughing.
When it was time to talk about marriage, it was difficult to find a good match in Beijing. The young Duan had no choice but to find a junior in the Duan clan. He emphasized to that person several times that "careless friendships among women may lead to being framed", and married her far away. I went to the south of the Yangtze River, hoping that my granddaughter would be treated well by her parents.
Judging from the final result, this step was taken very well.
The third brother-in-law has a generous and tolerant personality, and the husband and wife get along well with each other. Lin Yunfang is also treated well by relatives in the clan.
Even if Uncle Chengyi's residence was confiscated, he would still protect and care for Lin Yunfang.
Lin Yunyan exchanged letters with her sister several times and felt that her character was much more relaxed than when she was at her lowest.
But none of this can change Zheng Liu's intention to harm others first.
One winter solstice, Lin Yunyan had to visit the Liu family.
Xu Jian went to Liu Jing's study, where she sat in the corner of the flower hall and warmed herself by the fire.
Because it was a mandarin duck hall, Zheng Liu and Liu Xun didn't notice her when they came in and continued talking warmly.
"I deliberately stuffed the cards under her cushion and called someone over. Her expression at that time was really amazing!"
"Normally, I can talk like a kid, but that day I couldn't explain it clearly. It really made me laugh to death."
"I just hate her. She is a girl from the uncle's house. Why does she dress better than me and spend more than me? Her monthly pocket money is more than twice as much as mine!"
"Who cares that she gave me something? It was her initiative to invite me to tea and snacks, and I didn't ask her."
"She is obviously very good at horse-trading, but she has deliberately lost money to me many times. How can you think there is such a person?! Who wants her to be so hypocritical and pitiful!"
"So, I'll let her go out and make her great!"
Only then did Lin Yunyan know the answer that Yunfang had never figured out.
But no matter what she "repays" Zheng Liu, she can't help Lin Yunfang who can't explain anything.
And now...
Lin Yunyan looked at the cheerful third sister in front of her and asked: "I heard from people that you and Zheng Liu often lose in horse-drawn games. That shouldn't be the case. You win over me and the eldest sister all the time. It can't be me." Is it too weak?"
Lin Yunfang just smiled and didn't answer.
Lin Yunyan would not let her pass easily, so she asked a few more questions.
"Okay, okay, I said," Lin Yunfang surrendered, "Even though it's an uncle's house, her family is not as good as ours, and she doesn't have as much money as I do.
We go out together, and I don't know how to save money, but it doesn't seem good if I invite her back.
I just wanted to lose to her quietly and treat her as my treat. Anyway, I'm not short of money.
When we play together, the most important thing is to have fun. "
Lin Yunyan sighed secretly in her heart.
It’s not Sanmei’s fault.
She grew up in a wealthy family and was supported by her family. No one in the Lin family had ever blushed for Zhuangzi, a money shop. Naturally, in her eyes, love was more important than gold.
Those who teach the younger generation at home are also "thoughtful" and "generous".
It was just some small money, she could afford it, and she didn't feel it was a burden. Of course, it couldn't be compared with "Playing Together".
But he didn't expect that in the eyes of narrow-minded people, her generosity was just showing off, giving alms, and condescending.
"Do you still want to lose money at this flower party?" Lin Yunyan asked.
"No," Lin Yunfang leaned into her sister's ear and said, "I won't pay any money this time, but there is another bonus. It's a copy of the painting from Jing'an Academy, which I want very much."
It turned out to be for Lin Yunding.
Gently pinching Lin Yunfang's cheek, Lin Yunyan smiled at her: "Go and win the tracing book back."
Also throw the sewage back.
Her third sister doesn't bear that stigma.
