On the day of the appointment, Lin Yunyan got up early.
Mother Ma came in and saw Wan Yue combing her hair, and joked: "It seems you are looking forward to it."
"I'm so looking forward to it," Lin Yunyan said sincerely, and then told Wan Yue, "I want to wear the set of red coral hairpins that the Empress Dowager gave her two years ago."
Wan Yue naturally listened to her.
Hairpin, earrings, and two bracelets, Wan Yue picked up the necklace, but Lin Yunyan didn't wear it.
Asking Wan Yue to wrap it up in soft cloth, Lin Yunyan carried her to Hanhui Courtyard.
"Yun Yan is so pretty today," Mrs. Chen gave her a thumbs up and then pointed across the courtyard, "Yun Fang hasn't packed up yet."
Lin Yunyan entered Lin Yunfang's room with a smile and took a good look at the little girl sitting in front of the dressing table.
"Why are you wearing such plain clothes?" She opened the soft cloth, "Here, this necklace looks good on you, so I will wear it for you today."
Lin Yunfang's eyes were sparkling.
Little girl, who doesn’t love to be beautiful?
Unless it's something inappropriate, the Lin sisters have always lent it to me and you to borrow jewelry.
"It's so beautiful," Lin Yunfang sighed, "but what I'm wearing doesn't match the coral."
Lin Yunyan didn't care, she put the soft cloth into her sister's hand, and called the nanny in the room to open the box: "I'll pick it for you."
Mammy also nodded repeatedly: "The princess is right. My servant also told the third girl just now that the clothes she chose are too plain and not flattering."
Lin Yunfang has no shortage of good clothes.
Lin Yunyan chose an outfit easily and made some gestures: "Wear this and a necklace. I remember you also have a coral hair and face. When we sisters go out, we will look like a family!"
The nuns were very happy and laughed, and then some of them went to get the jewelry box.
Lin Yunfang whispered to Lin Yunyan quietly: "It's okay if you play outside. But if you go to someone else's house today, won't it be too ostentatious?"
"How old are you?" Lin Yunyan pressed Lin Yunfang's shoulders and looked around, "How come you are more particular about 'moderate' than your grandmother?
Even if you wear my best clothes and jewelry to play in Cining Palace today, the Empress Dowager will only praise you for your cuteness and beauty. My sister is a flower, my sister is a flower, two flowers are put together, and no one cares. Are you suitable?
Besides, you're worried about stealing the limelight from Zheng Liu, who is the host, so should I go?
Your second sister and I don’t have bad clothes or jewelry. "
Lin Yunfang couldn't persuade her, and the nuns tried to persuade her, so she didn't insist and went to change.
Lin Yunyan sat and waited, taking a bowl of sweet soup from the maid's hand.
While eating, she thought, in the past, when she reached the end of her life, her clothes were all patched, and her hair was held up with a hairpin. She was satisfied with being warmly dressed. Looking back on the past and comparing it now, she can only say that the taste of wealth is really good. .
Lin Yunfang is dressed.
Lin Yunyan was extremely satisfied and gave a thumbs up imitating Chen's example: "Yunfang is so pretty today!"
When the two sisters went out, the concierge arranged for Lin Yunyan's car to take them to Yunyang Uncle's Mansion.
Flower fairs pay attention to liveliness.
Outside the uncle's house, people have already arrived one after another.
Due to a delay in changing clothes, the two sisters arrived late. Lin Yunyan was not in a hurry and took her time.
At the second door, the Zheng sisters were smiling as they welcomed the guests.
"It seems I haven't seen Yunfang yet," someone asked, "She always comes early."
Zheng Liu said: "She said that the princess will also come together."
"Princess Ning'an?"
"Don't you like the excitement, Princess? It's rare to hear that she participates in anyone's flower party and poetry party."
"Zheng Liu still has face."
The girls kept talking to each other, and Zheng Liu couldn't hide his pride until the Lin sisters arrived.
Everyone present came forward to greet Lin Yunyan, while Zheng Liu stood on the side, looking at Lin Yunfang who was smiling beautifully, jealousy flashed in his eyes.
The necklace was made of red coral and gold thread. Lin Yunfang's already fair complexion made her look even more excellent. Moreover, it was obviously the same set as the one worn by the princess.
Lin Yunyan noticed Zheng Liu's expression.
Although Zheng Liu was covering up, Lin Yunyan couldn't be deceived by his malice.
Zheng Liu was jealous of Lin Yunfang from the bottom of his heart, which was why Lin Yunyan insisted on letting his sister wear a necklace.
Jealousy always goes towards people who are "almost".
No matter what Lin Yunyan wears or uses, she is the princess and she is favored by Cining Palace. Zheng Liu will be envious, but not jealous.
But Lin Yunfang is different.
"They are all girls from the uncle's house. Why does she dress better than me and spend more than me?"
What Zheng Liu said personally was deeply imprinted in Lin Yunyan's mind.
"If the princess can come, Pengpi will shine." The speaker was Zheng Liu's sister Zheng Yu.
"Don't be so polite. We are all of the same age. Don't speak so politely," Lin Yunyan laughed, "Zheng Liu and my third sister are good sisters. We often play together, so I will join in the fun, right, Zheng Miss Liu?"
Hearing the sound, Zheng Liu suddenly raised his head.
Seeing Lin Yunyan looking at her with a smile, and everyone else looking at her, she couldn't care less about her jealousy for a moment, and her pride surged up again, gaining the upper hand: "Yunfang and I are getting close!"
Most of the people who come to the flower party are extroverted.
When the fragrant snacks and cool drinks were served, they no longer restrained themselves and started to taste them one after another.
Lin Yunyan also ate it.
She took Lin Yunfang and the Zheng sisters to sit at the same table, and while eating, she said: "This walnut cake is so delicious, better than the Baohelou ones you brought back to me last time, Third Sister.
The kitchen in Uncle Yunyang's Mansion is so good, why would you and sister Zheng Liu go to Baohe Lou to eat? "
Lin Yunfang just smiled and said nothing, and gently poked Lin Yunyan's arm with her hand under the table.
Lin Yunyan didn't notice it.
She asked knowingly.
If she had been unable to figure out the level before, she had straightened it out after hearing what Lin Yunfang said that day.
Because the property prices in Baohe are affordable.
Lin Yunfang was too embarrassed to return the invitation, and didn't want Zheng Liu, who was not well off, to accompany her to expensive shops, so she chose Baohe Lou.
The taste of the walnut cake is much different from that of Yunyang Bofu, which is enough to show that "you get what you pay for". Lin Yunfang bought some extra ones and put them in boxes for her sisters to bring back, saying that "you can try them."
She is a younger sister who seems careless when she is careless, but is extremely cautious when she is concerned about other people's moods.
Of course it's good to have a good friend who has an honest mind. But when you meet someone like Zheng Liu, after all the effort, effort, and money you put into it, you end up with an enemy and get stabbed hard.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan naturally glanced at the Zheng sisters.
Zheng Yu spoke to the others in a friendly manner. Zheng Liu's smile was so forced that she didn't even notice that she bit the rouge on her lower lip to create a slit.
Lin Yunyan became more confident when she saw this.
She was deliberately irritating Zheng Liu.
If Zheng Liu sees her presence and temporarily stops thinking about framing Lin Yunfang, then there's no telling when this secret arrow will be fired in the future.
Zheng Liu must be made angry, jealous, and driven by his emotions to make wrong judgments, so that today can happen.
"What are you going to do next?" Lin Yunyan asked, "I think you're going to be beaten?"
"We're going to fight," Zheng Liu said hurriedly, "and there's still a chance of winning."
