Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Chapter 64: Attending a banquet at the Wen family, Lin Yuxi recites a poem

Lin Yuxi acted crazy and stupid, which made Lin Yuhe grit her teeth in anger. Just when she was about to curse, Liu stopped her:

"Yuhe."

Lin Yuhe was reluctant, but when she saw her mother winking at her, she swallowed it.

Liu gave the sisters a few instructions to watch over and support them, and not to bring shame to the family, and then let them go.

As she came out more often, Lin Yuxi's initial excitement faded.

The three of them sat in the carriage together. Lin Yuling's attitude was always serious and her expression was not revealed, but her eyes were twinkling. It seemed that she rarely went out due to the oppression of Liu, so she must be excited.

Along the way, the three of them rarely talked to each other, and except for Lin Yuhe's glare, they got along peacefully.

The Wen Mansion was not too far away and they arrived there in less than half an hour. There were two or three carriages parked in front of the mansion. It turned out that they were not alone. It seemed that Miss Wen had held a banquet, but I wondered what her outfit was.

There were already receptionists waiting outside the door. When the Lin sisters got out of the car, two maids came to greet them.

"But the girl from the Lin family? She's finally here. Our young lady has prepared some snacks in the backyard waiting for her."

One of the plump old women smiled obsequiously and led the way enthusiastically.

After passing the front yard and entering the hanging flower gate, Miss Wen Wen Mufu came to greet them. Miss Wen was only fourteen years old, the same age as Lin Yuhe. She was beautiful, pretty and lovely. The two families had business dealings and had a very good relationship.

Lin Yuhe and Wen Mufu have been familiar with each other for a long time, so they were very enthusiastic when they met this time.

After Wen Mufu greeted Lin Yuhe, she looked at Lin Yuxi, took Lin Yuxi's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile:

"Is this the Second Miss Lin? I've heard that the Second Miss is very capable and is as capable as any man. She is in charge of the Lin family's business. Mu Fu admires her very much. Mu Fu has long wanted to get to know her, but unfortunately she couldn't find the opportunity. Today, she finally got her wish."

"Miss Wen, thank you for your compliment. I don't have any special skills. I just pretend to be good at it. In fact, I am still in the learning stage. I know nothing about accounts and processes. Miss Wen's business experience is the most important thing. Please give me some advice in the future."

Lin Yuxi could tell from her words that she was a competitive little girl, but she was also well-known for her excellent business skills, so she started by praising Wen Mufu, which made Wen Mufu giggle.

Wen Mufu spoke to the Lin Yuxi sisters for a few more words before going to greet the others.

Miss Wen had not yet married, so naturally the guests were young ladies from the boudoir. Some female relatives had already arrived in the courtyard. There were not many people, but there were at least a dozen of them, sitting together in groups of three or four, eating snacks and chatting.

The ladies present all learned that the second Miss Lin, who had been very popular in Yingshan City recently, would also come, and they all wanted to see what kind of supernatural being Lin Yuxi had.

Now that they had finally arrived, they all turned their eyes to Lin Yuxi, some were cold, some were contemptuous, and some did not care.

These young ladies are all legitimate daughters of wealthy families. They are very proud and have their own circle of friends.

Lin Yuhan and Lin Yuhe were among them, so they naturally knew that Lin Yuxi was a bastard. Every family has a few bastard children, and everyone looks down on bastards.

Lin Yuxi didn't mind. People with different ideologies cannot work together. They looked down on her and she had no intention of chatting with them. She just sat there quietly eating cakes and sipping tea.

Lin Yuling, who was sitting next to me, spoke very little. Every time I saw her, she kept her head down and had a low sense of presence. It was easy for her to be ignored when she didn't speak.

Lin Yuhe had already left them behind and joined the circle of young ladies. No one knew what she was saying, and occasionally several pairs of eyes would be directed at her at the same time.

About a quarter of an hour later, everyone was there. Wen Mufu came over and led everyone out. When they arrived at the backyard, Lin Yuxi realized that they were here to appreciate the flowers today.

Lin Yuxi looked at the pots of peonies of various colors in the yard. They were large and beautiful, graceful, colorful and fragrant, the best among all flowers, and had a very high ornamental value.

But she remembered that the peony blooms in April and May. It's already June and the weather is hot, but it's still blooming.

Miss Wen was very happy to see the surprised and envious expressions of the crowd. She arranged seats in the yard and built a shed for shade. She asked everyone to sit down and then said slowly:

"The peony blooms in April and withers in May. I have always loved peonies and my father loved me, so I asked someone to buy some to cultivate them all year round. However, this peony is really difficult to grow. It likes coolness but fears freezing, it likes warmth but fears heat, it likes light but fears shade, it likes dryness but fears moisture. The greenhouse needs to be spacious and ventilated, and the soil needs to be fertile and loose. It really takes a lot of effort to keep it alive."

At that moment, all the young ladies said some envious words, and the more Yu Mufu listened, the bigger her smile became.

Lin Yuxi glanced at Wen Mufu. A person's character can often be seen from their living habits and hobbies. People who love Peony like to pursue fame, wealth and honor. Considering her previous impression of being competitive, Lin Yuxi felt that this person was not suitable for close friendship.

"In this situation, why don't we improvise a poem on the subject of peony?"

Yu Mufu said suddenly.

What can a group of ladies do when they get together?

Playing the piano and writing poetry are the best pastimes. When talking about writing poetry, everyone looks confident.

Lin Yuhe, who was sitting next to Lin Yuxi, smiled and said:

"Writing poems is great. My second sister is very talented. Why don't we let her take the lead?"

Then he smiled sweetly at Lin Yuxi.

Lin Yuxi looked up at the sky in silence. She really was shot even when she was lying down!

Lin Yuxi glanced at Lin Yuhe indifferently, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across her face, and she blurted out:

It begins to emit fragrance only after all its petals have fallen. It is called the king of flowers. It boasts of being unrivaled in the world and having the best fragrance in the world.

After reciting the poem, Lin Yuhe's smile froze for a moment. Many people looked at Lin Yuxi, and their eyes were no longer so contemptuous.

Wen Mufu's eyes flashed, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she exclaimed: "Miss Lin is really talented."

Lin Yuxi declined the offer, and the young ladies put the matter aside and continued to write their poems.

Lin Yuxi felt suffocated, so she made an excuse to go out for some fresh air.

After all, she was a guest, so she didn't dare to walk too far. She pulled over a little maid who was holding cakes and asked:

“Is there a pavilion nearby to rest?”

The little maid pointed in a direction, and Lin Yuxi thanked her and walked in that direction.

There is actually not much difference between the backyard of the Wen Mansion and the backyard of the Lin Mansion. It is nothing more than a rockery, a few trees, or a pond. As for the gardens where the masters live, they are scattered everywhere.

After walking for a few minutes, Lin Yuxi felt something was not right. This place did not look like a pavilion. It was clearly a small courtyard.

Lin Yuxi's alarm bells immediately rang. It was not because she was suspicious, but because she knew very well that anything could happen in a house with high walls.

Thinking of this, she walked back the way she came. Perhaps she was in too much of a hurry and accidentally bumped into the person at the corner. The little maid saw that she had bumped into a distinguished guest and was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly bent down and apologized: "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Lin Yuxi staggered a step and then steadied herself. It was her fault for bumping into someone, so she waved her hand and said it was nothing.

The little maid kept her head down, and was relieved to see that Lin Yuxi didn't blame her. The little maid wanted to leave, but Lin Yuxi called her, "I'm lost, please lead the way."

The little maid responded and led the way. Lin Yuxi followed behind the little maid. After taking two steps, she felt dizzy. Her vision gradually blurred, her eyelids became heavier, and she soon fainted.
