A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 261 White lotus blooming in winter!

The entire mansion was covered in silver. Lin Xiaomi always loved snow, and every time she saw heavy snow, she would be in a very good mood.

"Come on, Daya, let's go out and stretch our muscles." Staying in the small yard every day with the cold sky all around will make people feel moldy.

She was wearing a Suzhou embroidered silk brocade cotton jacket, a fox fur scarf made of red fox fur around her neck, a white fox fur cloak, deerskin wool boots on her feet, and a hot water bottle in her hand to keep her warm.

When we arrived at the plum garden, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, adding a touch of red to the white scenery, which was very beautiful.

She looked at the plum blossoms and stretched out her hands to catch the snowflakes on the tree. The snowflakes fell into her palms, turned into water droplets, and then melted.

She lowered her head and sniffed, and found that there was some fragrance in her nose, so she couldn't help but sniff a few more times. She raised her eyes, looked at the maid standing beside her with a smile, and said, "You smelled it too, right?"

Daya, who was standing beside her, nodded and said with a smile, "I think it smells good too, Madam, let's pick a few branches and put them in the house."

"it is good."

San Ya has quick hands and only picks the branches that are growing well.

"Oh, ma'am, look, there's someone over there!"

At the end of the plum garden, there seemed to be two people squatting on the snow, looking at a small basket and picking plum blossoms. One of them was dressed in white, no wonder I didn't notice him just now.

"It must be Miss Yiran, she comes here to pick plum blossoms every winter."

Xi Que was an old lady in the mansion, and she was very familiar with the masters of each courtyard. She also understood their personalities.

Oh, this person loves plum blossoms! Last time this woman provoked her at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, she knew that this might be a talented woman. Talented women love to be pretentious, and plum blossoms have been the favorite of literati and poets since ancient times. I understand!

"Cousin." The other person also saw her and walked over slowly with a basket.

"Sister Yiran."

When Xiao Yiran saw the plum branch in San Ya's hand, his face changed drastically.

"What are you doing? The plum blossoms are growing so beautifully on the tree, why are you breaking them off!"

The sound was sharp and piercing, especially in the quiet Plum Garden, which made Lin Xiaomi's ears a little itchy.

"It's in the room. What's wrong?"

Can't she pick the plum blossoms in the plum garden? No one told her not to?

She looked at Xi Que in confusion, and Xi Que twitched her lips, not knowing what to say. Miss Yiran's saintly heart broke out again.

"How can you be so vulgar and so cruel? It's growing well on the branch, but if you want to see it, can't you come to the plum garden? If you break it off now, it can maintain its beauty for a few more days."

Xiao Yiran's eyes were full of anger, and she stared at Lin Xiaomi with accusations. She had thought that this peasant girl, although from a poor family, had good literary talent and must be an elegant person. Unexpectedly, she was so vulgar and short-sighted.

Why would my cousin fall for such a tacky person?

"It will wither even if you don't pick it, so what's the difference?"

No, this person might be seriously ill. It's just a broken branch, is it that serious?

Lin Xiaomi has never been so speechless.

"It could have bloomed for more than a month, but because of you, it could have bloomed for a few days at most. Don't you feel guilty and have a pang in your conscience?"

Damn, Lin Xiaomi's jaw dropped to the ground. Not even a branch can be broken. What do you say about the food you eat every day, fish and meat? Don't say that you grew up drinking fairy dew. It has been confirmed that you are not a normal person.

"Are you picking these plum blossoms to eat?" She tried hard to change the subject. She really didn't want to continue arguing with this woman over a few branches. It was pointless.

Xiao Yiran's eyes widened again, and mist quickly gathered in his eyes, "How can you be so vulgar? Plum blossoms are holy things, how can you swallow them?"

Lin Xiaomi opened her mouth, not knowing how to continue with the conversation. This ancestor might have really grown up drinking nectar.

So, little sister, why are you picking it up in such a cold day?

"Then what are you doing?" Looking at the plum blossoms in the basket, she said cautiously, "Oh my god, please don't cry to her. She is a woman, she really doesn't understand the concept of being gentle and kind to women."

"I want to bury them and give them a home."

The magpie's eyebrows were twitching.

Daya and Sanya opened their mouths so wide that they couldn’t close them. What did they hear?

The maid behind Xiao Yiran had a wooden face, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

The young lady is a natural born innocent. She eats chicken, duck, fish and meat every day. After eating, she complains for no reason and feels sad about the passing of time.

Actually, I'm just free.

Lin Xiaomi hurriedly grabbed the magpie's arm and almost fell down. My family, which kind person would pick up the rotten flowers and bury them?

This is a psychopath, a fake white lotus. His hypocritical appearance makes her sick, and reminds her of the joke in her previous life: "Rabbits are so cute, why are you eating rabbits?"

I feel sick and want to vomit. We are not the same kind of people. Stay away from us from now on.

"Go on, go on! Pick them up slowly, Magpie, let's go!"

The group of people were moving so fast that they seemed to be chased by a dog. They were no longer as leisurely as they were when they came. They were afraid that if they walked a step slower, she would pull them to pick flowers together.

Xiao Yiran pursed her lips and looked at Lin Xiaomi's departing back, "My cousin is well-read and talented, how could he fall for such a vulgar person."

"The prince's wife is pretty and I heard she's a good cook." The maid couldn't help but defend Lin Xiaomi. She thought the wife was a very good person.

"How good can you get by using your beauty to serve a man? A woman's blooming period is short, and she will have to suffer in the future. Cooking? That's a lowly job for servants. Does our mansion need a cook?" Xiao Yiran looked down on Lin Xiaomi. Last time, she must have been lucky and got it by chance.

Maid:......

You are not vulgar, so don't eat the food cooked by us vulgar people!

Looking at the frostbite on my hands, I felt sad for an hour.

"Ah, speaking of which, Lin is also a pitiful person. When she gets pregnant, her cousin has a concubine, and she is just yesterday's flower. And without a family to rely on, how can she live?"

Maid:......

She didn't feel sorry for the wife of the prince at all. She was dressed in gold and silver, surrounded by a bunch of servants, and had a generous dowry. Most importantly, she was deeply loved by the prince, and she was the legitimate wife and the future mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

But she, who accompanied her master to pick flowers every day, got frostbite on her hands and feet, and her knees were in great pain.

She is the most miserable person!

"Miss, shall we still pick up the items?" He looked at her hopefully. "Please, go back. We'll do it again in spring, okay?"

Seeing the maid looking at her like this, she thought she also wanted to continue picking plum blossoms and couldn't bear to see them rot in the snow. Xiao Yiran felt a little better, finally someone agreed with her.

"Pick it up, or I won't be able to sleep or eat."

"Yes." His tone was desperate.

"Magpie, is this still my cousin?"

"Madam, Miss Tang has always been kind-hearted. She would cherish even a flower." Xi Que explained after thinking for a long time.

"So she..."

"So Miss Tang, Haruhi is even busier."

Lin Xiaomi: ...

Isn't she busy? In spring, all flowers bloom and wither, and she can never finish burying them. Is this woman possessed by Lin Daiyu, or is she mentally ill?

Lin Xiaomi shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She thought it was a carnivorous plant, but it turned out to be a strange flower. She just needed to stay away from it.

She felt that it must be because they had stayed in the mansion for too long that everyone was acting abnormal.

"My Lord, has the matter of my seventh brother not been clarified yet?"

Why is it so slow? She couldn't understand. It's just a small thing, is it really that difficult?

"It seems a bit complicated. Dad and the others want to confirm it again."

Fine.

"Seventh brother has stopped making trouble recently?"

"Well, he knew that his family would never let him be with the widow no matter what. Besides, he couldn't find anyone. Maybe he thought about it and gave up."

It may be that he wants to wait until they relax their guard before looking for someone. When it comes to love, no one can tell.

If she really let it go so easily, it means Xiao Feng never cared about her and was just playing around. He is a scumbag.

"Winter Festival, have you prepared the gifts for your parents?"

"Okay. Mother has prepared enough. I just added a letter. My Lord, how long can I stay at my mother's house during the New Year?"

"We will go back before the New Year and stay a little longer. What do you think about coming back before the New Year?"

Of course!
