Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 257 Jealousy

Qin Yajun's words were harsh, but there was a look of envy on her face that couldn't be concealed.

In her heart, Lin Zisu is just an ordinary woman in this era, with a little knowledge and greed for wealth.

Such a woman seemed to be favored. Not only did she marry Xie Xi as she wished, but she also won the emperor's favor and often entered and exited the palace freely.

If Qin Yajun hadn't known about the development trajectory of later generations, he would have believed in Zheng Mochen's theory of "being born with a phoenix fate".

Looking at the girl in front of her, her upper body is light pink with golden threads, and her lower body is frost-colored and decorated with layers of begonia flowers, reflecting the girl's smart and pretty face.

Qin Yajun had met Lin Zisu so many times before, but she always thought that Lin Zisu looked pretty good.

I just discovered today that Lin Zisu seems to be a beauty when dressed up. No wonder Prince Dun is so obsessed with her.

I heard that in order to protect this girl Lin Zisu, even the token of the imperial army was handed over.

Qin Yajun couldn't help but compare herself with Lin Zisu, feeling uneasy.

The Qin family is the richest businessman in Shannan, and Qin Yajun is usually quite comfortable. But once he appears in front of dignitaries, he seems to be a little shorter.

The only thing she can do now is to make a splash at the Zhongqiu Poetry Festival and attract the attention of the emperor and Xie Yao.

After trying on clothes, Lin Zisu accompanied her mother to visit several ready-made clothing stores. As they talked, the autumn mood was getting darker, and it was time to prepare autumn clothes for the servants.

Lin Zisu saw the unkindness on Qin Yajun's face and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't think too much. I don't have the talent of my cousin, so I don't dare to go to the poetry festival to make a fool of myself. But my cousin is right, this dress is made of Yunxia

It is made of brocade and is rewarded by the Queen. I heard that the whole country does not produce a few horses in a year!"

The advantage of this is that it saves a lot of expenses in raising servants. The disadvantage is that the materials in clothing stores are often made of materials extruded in previous years, and there is no style at all. For some exquisite families, servants wear something like this

It's really shameful to take your clothes out.

But Mr. Bi never cared about this. The mother and daughter went into several shops, ordered the clothes, and waited for them to be delivered to their house.

Qin Yajun smiled a little maliciously, then hid the smile on her face and said, "The craftsmanship in Huanpeilou is indeed excellent. My sister's dress is really beautiful."

Under the light of the moon, other stars were eclipsed. The moonlight poured down like water and sprinkled on the golden osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

Such a moonlit night is undoubtedly extremely comfortable.

Most of the aristocratic homes in Beijing have special sewing rooms. For example, when people change clothes from season to season, they buy fabrics first and have them made by the sewing rooms.

Lin Zisu smiled sweetly at Qin Yajun, said goodbye, and went into the room next door, leaving Qin Yajun where he was.

From Lin Zisu's point of view, it seemed that the emperor deliberately brought Xie Hui and Qin Yajun together.

Qin Yajun gritted her teeth in anger after hearing these words. She only regretted that Xie Hui and Fang Qingge were too stupid. When the emperor fell ill, they calculated that the Lin family had an excellent opportunity, but they missed it in vain.

Qin Yajun's face was gloomy and uncertain, and she stared intently at Lin Zisu's retreating back.

Let her be proud for a few years!

Lin Zisu didn't care much about Qin Yajun. She had already learned from Xie Xi that Qin Yajun had been recommended by Xie Hui and was going to the Zhongqiu Poetry Fair to show off his talents.

She also understands that in this era, talent alone is not enough, you also need to work hard on appearance.

In order to avoid any complications, she can only appear in civilian clothes and cannot wear pearls and gold jewelry on her head.

Didn't she know that Lin Zisu was deliberately showing off, but she couldn't do anything to him, so she pursed her lips and said: "It seems that my sister has found a good marriage. However, I heard that His Highness Prince Dun has always been romantic, so my sister really doesn't

Are you worried that the beauty will end before she gets old and the old one will be replaced by a new generation?"

So she found a piece of fine cotton cloth and came to Huanpeilou to find an excellent master to make it as attractive as possible.

However, Xie Hui solemnly confessed that the Zhongqiu Poetry Meeting was of great importance and related to the future fate of the two of them.

Lin Zisu opened her eyes wide and said innocently: "Sister, I'm joking, His Royal Highness Prince Dun is a dedicated person. He even said a few days ago that he would grow old with me!"

Qin Yajun also knew in her heart that there were too many rules in this era, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and hierarchies, which she could not change by herself.

"Susu, are you thinking of me?"

Why is it that although I am knowledgeable about the past and present, I am always inferior to others?

And this Lin Zisu is so stupid, but he can easily get everything she wants?

"Sister, are you going to attend the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival too?"

The Lin family does not have such a habit, so they can only buy ready-made clothes from clothing stores.

Bi was looking at shoes and jewelry next door, and had just picked out a few favorite styles. She heard Lin Zisu's voice and called in the room: "Sister, come and see which of these shoes looks better."

?”

I heard that it was Xie Hui who recommended him, and the emperor immediately agreed to his request.

The treetops in the courtyard swayed a few times, clothes rustled, and a black shadow jumped down from the tree.

Qin Yajun secretly sneered in her heart and said, "You know, people's hearts are fickle. Sister, you have to be optimistic about your husband."

Lin Zisu changed into a simple dress, sat on the lounge chair under the eaves, and stared at the stars in a daze.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival gets closer and closer, the number of people in the capital gradually increases. Some businessmen who have been away from home all year round, no matter how far the journey is, always want to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to go home.

Just like this Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, under the operation of the third prince Xie Hui, she got the invitation early.

All in all, there are only a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even the moon in the night sky has slowly changed from a crescent moon to an oval goose egg.

People come and go, always remembering the day they return home.

The night breeze mixed with the warmth of the day and a hint of coolness of autumn spreads the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus to everywhere in the yard.

Xie Xi will meet a violent end sooner or later. Now that Lin Zisu has fallen in love with Xie Xi, things will not be better in the future.

She had already accepted her fate, but when she saw Lin Zisu dressed in gorgeous clothes, a fire suddenly started burning in her heart.

In the past few months, Qin Yajun's business in the capital has gained quite a reputation. Even the emperor in the deep palace has heard Qin Yajun's name mentioned.

When Lin Zisu spoke again, he also had a hint of surprise and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, when did you arrive in the capital?"

"Of course I just arrived in Beijing. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I came over to see you first."

Xie Xi said, and walked closer to Lin Zisu. Only then did Lin Zisu see clearly. She saw that Xie Xi's clothes were neatly dressed, and his hair was neatly combed and not messy. He looked ordinary.

Xie Xi said proudly: "When I entered the city, I tidied up my appearance. You couldn't tell that I just returned to Beijing, right?"
