Chapter 15 Fresh Lychees
Mrs. Wang went to the stable and took a look, and immediately recognized Feng Shu.
How come the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister is here too?
Wang often attended banquets held by the imperial concubines in the capital, so she was able to recognize Feng Shu.
Feng Shu has the temperament of a lady from a noble family. Her sister-in-law has long taken a liking to her and wants to marry her as her daughter-in-law.
Wang thought about the four maids behind her holding sticks in a threatening manner. If Miss Feng and Miss Zhang saw them, it would be difficult to explain.
He quickly whispered to Mother Sun: "Hurry, have someone put away the sticks."
"Yes, ma'am."
Wang felt it was a pity when she thought about the backgrounds of the Feng and Zhang families. Baozhu was about the same age as Miss Zhang and Miss Feng. If they could get along well with each other, it would be helpful for her husband's promotion.
As a result, we became enemies the first time we met. Oh! It really makes me worry.
"Rude things."
After Wang finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Lin Baozhu on the face. Her slap was very weak, just a pretense for Zhang Hanyan to see, and she didn't use much strength.
Lin Baozhu looked incredulous, covering her face and crying, "Mom, you actually hit me. You hit me for a few outsiders."
Wang was very annoyed. How could Baozhu be so stupid? She should just give in at this moment, but she kept crying.
She could only pinch Lin Baozhu secretly and reminded her, "Hurry up and greet Miss Zhang and Miss Feng, or get out of this house immediately."
Lin Baozhu stamped her feet, feeling unwilling, but she did not dare to disobey Wang's order.
Zhang Hanyan quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, please don't say hello to me. I don't want to have anything to do with this kind of villain."
Lin Baozhu already realized that she had made a mistake and the other one was Lin Qianqian.
She reluctantly greeted Zhang Hanyan and Feng Shu.
You have to know that her grandfather was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the fathers of the two people in front of her had lower official positions than the prime minister, which was nothing special.
Compared with Zhang Hanyan and Feng Shu, Lin Baozhu hates Lin Qianqian more. Even at this time, she is still in the mood to provoke Lin Qianqian.
"People who grew up in the countryside don't know the rules. They don't even kneel down and greet the mistress when they see her."
Lin Qianqian smiled: "You keep talking about kneeling, so I will oblige you."
Hongdou: The girl’s smile is so sinister, someone is about to be in trouble again.
Lin Qianqian casually kicked a stone under her feet, and the stone hit Lin Baozhu's knee accurately.
Lin Baozhu felt pain and fell to her knees with a thud.
Hongdou: "Oh, your daughter born out of wedlock is quite well behaved. She knelt down on her own initiative when she saw her elder sister."
Wang was furious. The word "concubine" was a taboo to her and she wanted to go crazy when she heard it.
But you have to hold it in and not get angry.
Zhang Hanyan: "Don't be afraid, Sister Lin. If you are bullied, tell me and I will ask my mother to support you."
Zhang Hanyan's mother is Princess Jiashan. She grew up in the presence of the Empress Dowager and is like a real mother to the Empress Dowager. Therefore, she has a high status among the noble ladies in the capital.
Wang tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart and said softly, "Qianqian is also my daughter. I will naturally not let her suffer any injustice."
Lin Baozhu got up from the ground and retorted without thinking: "Mom, what are you afraid of? Yesterday you said that killing Lin Qianqian was as easy as crushing an ant. Today you are afraid of her."
Wang secretly pinched Lin Baozhu's arm and said, "Shut up, idiot."
As Miss Feng and Miss Zhang are both here, it is not a good idea to take action now. I will definitely help Baozhu vent her anger when there are no outsiders in the mansion.
Zhang Hanyan was annoyed by the false attitude of Wang and her daughter, and threatened Wang again: "My mother often brought me to the palace. If you, a vicious woman, dare to use the secret methods of the harem to deal with Sister Lin, I will tell the Queen Mother."
"Don't worry, Miss Zhang. I am also a person of status, so I will naturally not use those dirty tricks."
After this incident, Wang felt very headache. She returned to her room and immediately asked Mother Sun to invite a doctor for treatment.

The study room of the Duke of Xingguo’s Mansion.
Chen Wu reported, "My Lord, the young master's condition improved several times each time he happened to meet a girl. I have already found out that the girl is the daughter of the Lin family."
Duke Xingguo: "That's a coincidence."
Lady Xingguo: "That girl is from the Lin family? This is such a coincidence. Our family just happens to have an engagement with the Lin family."
After thinking for a while, he said, "What a coincidence! Our Xuan'er has gotten much better since she met that girl. If we marry that girl back home to bring good luck, maybe Xuan'er will be completely cured."
The wife of Duke Xingguo was so happy that she sent someone to deliver a cart of gifts to the Lin Mansion.

Wang had just seen a doctor and still felt a severe headache.
Poor mother Sun, she was standing behind Wang, massaging Wang's shoulders non-stop. She had been massaging for an hour and no one asked her to stop.
The doorman suddenly came to report: "Madam, the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion sent a cart of gifts."
"Move in quickly."
Wang's headache was gone immediately. She stood up from the brocade stool with a smile, "The things sent by the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion must be good."
Mother Sun was finally freed. Her legs were numb and she had to hold on to the wall to avoid falling.
Soon, the room was filled with gift boxes of all sizes.
Lin Baozhu opened the boxes one by one, her eyes lighting up.
"The Duke of Xingguo's Mansion is indeed a wealthy family. The gifts they sent are really beautiful. Mother, I like this red coral bonsai very much. It belongs to me."
Wang picked up the beautiful purple jade necklace and put it on Lin Baozhu's neck. "It looks beautiful. It's really beautiful. Baozhu, don't be angry with me anymore. I beat you all day long for your own good."
"Well, I know everything. Don't blame mom. It's all Lin Qianqian's fault."
After receiving the valuable gifts from the Duke's Mansion, Wang's mother and daughter felt comforted.
They were discussing animatedly which gift would look best where.
Lin Baozhu suddenly thought of her marriage with Marquis Guanjun, "Mom, I like the things sent by the Duke's Mansion very much, but if you want me to marry that fool, there is no way."
The marriage with Guanjun Hou was strongly promoted by Wang's father. At that time, Guanjun Hou was very famous and it was the best marriage in the family. However, something unexpected happened and the good man was suddenly injured and turned into a fool.
Wang assured her daughter: "Don't worry, why do you think I brought that country girl back home? It was to marry that fool in your place."
Lin Baozhu was amused: "A vulgar girl and a fool who beat people up, what a perfect match!"
The Wang mother and daughter were very happy, but at the stable, Lin Qianqian encountered some trouble.
Hongdou was relaying Ah Da's words: "Girl, Ah Da has already spent money to buy the Jiang Mansion, but the procedures are a bit complicated. The officials know that we have no background, and the procedures have been delayed for many days."
Lin Qianqian nodded: "I will go and see it myself tomorrow."
The next day, Lin Qianqian had not walked far from the Lin Mansion when she met champion Hou Sixuan.
As soon as this guy approached, he stuffed an oil-paper bag into Lin Qianqian's hand and said, "Eat."
Lin Qianqian opened it and saw that there were fresh lychees inside.
This thing is not something that ordinary people can afford. It took at least several horses to kill to transport it from the south to the capital.
Si Xuan's attendant Zhao Xiaoliu said: "This was sent to the Duke of Xingguo's residence by someone sent by the Queen Mother. As soon as the master got it, he went everywhere to look for Miss Lin."
