Chapter 75 Maple Forest
Lin Hao and his friends met the wife of Marquis Wuning and his daughter Tang Wei.
The wife of Marquis Wuning was about the same age as Lin, and both of them had a proud look in their eyes and eyebrows, but she didn't look very well at the moment.
"Isn't this Mrs. Lin? What a coincidence." The wife of Marquis Wuning looked at Lin and spoke first.
The wife of Marquis Wuning was surnamed Tian. Like Lin, she was a daughter of a general. When they were young, they both had stubborn tempers and were difficult to get along with.
Now that Lin has severed ties with her husband and lives at her parents' house, the wife of Marquis Wuning is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and her eldest daughter is the noble and honorable Crown Princess, she feels much happier when she looks back at the people she used to not get along with.
Lin had long known who the wife of the Marquis of Wuning was, and she smiled politely, "It's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect the Marquis' wife to bring your daughter to burn incense as well."
The wife of Marquis Wuning frowned.
The reason she came to burn incense was because she encountered something disgusting.
The Crown Prince was fond of women, and Qiang'er had long since learned to turn a blind eye to the beauties in the Eastern Palace. After all, those women were merely toys for the Crown Prince's amusement, and if she truly provoked Qiang'er, she would suffer no harm.
Who would have thought that the cousin from Prince Jing's Mansion would actually enter the Eastern Palace!
She had never seen that little girl, but she heard from Wei'er that she looked about 50% like Princess Jing, and was even more delicate and fragile than Princess Jing.
Qiang'er was unhappy, and as a mother, she certainly felt bad, so she thought of coming to Qinglu Temple to burn incense, praying for a happy life for her eldest daughter and a good marriage for her second daughter.
"It's rare for us to meet each other. Let's have tea together after burning incense." The wife of Marquis Wuning invited.
Although she and Lin Wanqing didn't get along, when she was upset, she would always feel better when she looked at people who were not as good as her.
Lin refused without hesitation: "To show my sincerity to the Buddha, I plan to recite Buddhist scriptures for half a day. Let's have tea together another day."
She was too lazy to listen to this annoying person talking about the Crown Princess's daughter all the time.
Now he is arrogant and domineering. It is no longer the time when he would cry in anger when he heard her call her full name "Tian Chunhua" when he was young.
This is also why Lin dislikes the wife of Marquis Wuning. She doesn't like people calling her by her own name. Isn't that a problem?
The wife of the Marquis of Wuning hadn't been directly rejected in a long time, so she said with a sullen face, "Let's do it another day."
"Madam Hou, please go first." Lin stepped aside and gestured to Madam Wuning and her daughter to burn incense first.
The wife of Marquis Wuning stepped forward with a stern face and took the incense stick handed to her by the monk.
After the wife of Marquis Wuning and her daughter had offered incense, Lin calmly led her good sisters to worship Buddha sincerely.
Tang Wei curled her lips as she walked out of the palace: "Mother, why are you bothering with them?"
It is disgusting that the mother is ungrateful and the daughter is shamelessly fawning on the little princess.
"As a girl, don't be so pretentious when you are out there." The wife of Marquis Wuning scolded her.
Tang Wei was too lazy to listen: "Mother, please go back and have some tea. It's a rare trip here, I want to take a look around."
Seeing her daughter and her maidservant running away, and not being able to make an appointment with Lin, who she could show off to, the wife of Marquis Wuning went to drink tea in silence with a gloomy face.
After offering incense, Lin said to Lin Hao and the others, "Didn't the young monk say that the maple forest to the west is beautiful? Why don't you go and play for a while?"
"Aren't you going with me?" Lin Chan asked.
Lin shook her head: "I'm not as good as you little girls. I'm a little tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. I'm going to take a nap."
Lin Chan and Lin Hao first accompanied Lin back to the guest room, and then went to the maple forest together.
Qinglu Temple is a popular temple with a constant stream of pilgrims. However, since the western part is only open to pilgrims staying in the temple, there are not many people along the way.
The front is a sea of red, magnificent and beautiful.
Lin Hao and Lin Chan walked on the golden-red carpet made of thick maple leaves, feeling the beauty of late autumn.
A maple leaf floated down and landed on Lin Chan's fingertips.
"I really need to go out for a walk. I was thinking about what to embroider for my grandmother's birthday, and now I have an idea."
Looking at the fallen leaf, Lin Hao asked jokingly, "Are you planning to embroider a maple leaf, big sister?"
"I plan to embroider a double-sided maple leaf painting. It will look good and be suitable for the occasion when displayed in the house."
"Big sister has already thought of a birthday gift for grandma, but I still have no idea." Lin Hao pulled Lin Chan's sleeve, smiled and said coquettishly: "Big sister is such a good embroiderer, please embroider two handkerchiefs with red leaves for me."
"Do you even need to beg for this?" Lin Chan glanced at her sister.
A cold snort was heard.
When they heard the sound, they looked and saw Tang Wei standing not far away with a pout on her face.
"Is the General's Mansion unable to make ends meet? Are you begging for even a handkerchief?"
Since there was no one else around, Tang Wei didn't even bother to maintain basic politeness.
She has been having a very bad time lately.
Instead of dealing with that little bitch Sun Xiuhua, she entered the Eastern Palace and caused trouble for her sister. The little princess, who often played with her, also became friends with the Lin Hao sisters, whom she disliked. She followed her mother to burn incense and relax, and unexpectedly met them.
Lin Hao took a step forward and looked at Tang Wei intently.
Tang Wei frowned: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Hao said seriously, "I suddenly noticed...your mouth is a little crooked."
“Puff.”
Lin Chan was a steady person. She thought she couldn't help laughing, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Tang Wei looked towards the source of the laughter angrily.
A few young men were standing not far away. One of them was holding a folding fan and bowed: "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh."
Unless you really can't help it.
He didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, and his eyes swept across Lin Hao and Lin Chan's faces.
Lin Hao felt that this person looked familiar. Looking at Wen Feng standing next to him, he remembered: this person was there the two times he met Wen Feng.
Tang Wei obviously knew this young man, and said with a dark face, "Han Baocheng, are you making fun of me?"
Han Baocheng was the son of the Minister of War, and he knew the temper of Miss Tang Er very well. He waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no."
Tang Wei suddenly raised her lips and pointed at Lin Hao: "She just humiliated me. Did you all hear it?"
Han Baocheng paused.
He did hear it, but he didn't want to help Miss Tang Er, who was such a disgusting person.
Han Baocheng's silence gave the others a warning look from Tang Wei.
"Sorry, we just came over and didn't hear the conversation between the three girls clearly." A clear voice sounded.
Tang Wei looked at the person who spoke: "Are you—Yang Zhuangyuan?"
Of course she went to watch the top scholar's parade and even got the best seat.
Although she looked down on Yang Zhe's background, Tang Wei was particularly angry that such a handsome and unparalleled top scholar spoke up for the Lin sisters.
"You obviously heard it, otherwise why are you laughing?"
Facing Tang Wei's aggressiveness, Yang Zhe remained calm: "I'm not laughing."
Tang Wei was choked and her angry eyes fell on Wen Feng who was standing beside her.
Wen Feng lowered his eyes and bowed, "Miss, you misunderstood. We really didn't hear it." Fearing that Tang Wei would not give up, he quickly added, "I didn't laugh either."
The other two people were afraid of getting into trouble and said they had never laughed.
Tang Wei glared at Han Baocheng.
Han Baocheng secretly cursed his friends for being disloyal and said seriously, "I just laughed because I suddenly remembered the dream I had last night. I didn't hear what the three girls said at all. Ah, the three girls continue chatting, we won't interrupt you."
Without waiting for Tang Wei to say anything, several people ran away.
