Chapter 223 Twin Sisters
"Miss! Miss! It's bad, the second young lady fell into the water!" The maid Xiao Cui rushed into the room in a panic, her voice trembling and anxious.
As soon as Lin Yuxi opened her eyes, she was given a headache by the sudden shouting. She gathered herself, forced herself to calm down, stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. I just heard that the second young lady was playing by the pond and somehow fell in. Madam asked you to go over quickly!" Xiao Cui said as she helped Lin Yuxi tidy up her clothes.
Lin Yuxi thought to herself, since we are here, we should make the best of it and go check out the situation first. She hurried to the pond with Xiao Cui.
When they arrived at the pond, they saw a group of people gathered there. Mother Lin was anxiously directing the servants to rescue people. Seeing Lin Yuxi coming, Mother Lin complained: "Why are you so late? If anything happens to your sister, I will not forgive you!"
Lin Yuxi bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Don't worry, mother. I believe that my sister will be blessed by heaven."
Mother Lin glared at her and said nothing more, just staring at the pond.
After a while, Lin Yuxin was finally rescued. She was pale, her eyes were closed, and her wet hair stuck to her face. She looked very pitiful.
When Lin's mother saw this, tears started to flow. She rushed forward and shouted in a trembling voice, "My Xin'er, don't scare your mother!" As she spoke, she gently stroked Lin Yuxin's cheek with her hand.
The maids nearby were also panicked. Some were busy getting dry cloths, while others were rushing to prepare hot water.
The doctor was quickly invited over. He first felt Lin Yuxin's pulse and then opened her eyelids to take a look. Lin's mother held Lin Yuxin's hand tightly, looking nervous, and asked impatiently: "Doctor, how is my daughter? I hope she is fine!"
The doctor frowned, and Lin's mother's heart instantly rose to her throat and she almost cried out.
At this time, the doctor slowly said: "Madam, don't worry. The young lady is fine. She was just frightened and choked on some water. She is a little weak and needs to rest and recuperate."
Hearing this, Lin's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "God bless, God bless! As long as my Xin'er is okay, everything is fine."
Then, she turned to look at Lin Yuxi who was standing beside her, and said in a bad tone: "As a sister, you don't usually care about your sister. If you had paid more attention to her, this wouldn't have happened."
After Lin's mother finished speaking, she immediately turned her gaze back to Lin Yuxin, her eyes full of heartache.
"Go and warm up the young lady's room, and bring my new quilt to cover her." Mother Lin ordered the servants anxiously, "Also, tell the kitchen to make some nourishing soups, using the best ingredients, and don't be sloppy at all!"
The butler at the side nodded repeatedly and hurried to make arrangements.
"My Xin'er, if anything happens to you, how will I live?" Mother Lin patted Lin Yuxin's hand gently, muttering to herself.
At this moment, Lin Yuxin's fingers moved slightly, and she seemed to mutter something. Mother Lin lowered her head in surprise and put her ear close to her, but she couldn't hear clearly.
But at this moment, she didn't have time to think too much, she just hoped that Lin Yuxin would wake up soon. She hurriedly said, "Xin'er, mother is here, mother is here, wake up quickly, as long as you can wake up, mother will agree to anything you want!"
Mother Lin called for a long time before she heard Lin Yuxin's weak voice: "Cold... so cold..."
"Wake up, wake up, my dear Xin'er is awake! God bless her, God bless her!" Mother Lin said as she hugged Lin Yuxin tightly in her arms.
Lin Yuxi stood aside and watched this scene quietly, with a calm expression. However, she couldn't help but have some guesses in her heart!
Falling into water…?
I don’t know whether this heroine has traveled through time or been reborn?
Mother Lin seemed to remember something, and turned to Lin Yuxi and reprimanded her again: "As a sister, you should take better care of your sister. You need to reflect on what happened today!"
Lin Yuxi had just come through and hadn't figured out the situation yet. She could only deal with it at this time. She bowed slightly and replied in a low voice: "Yes, mother, your daughter knows."
Mother Lin snorted and ignored her, all her attention was on Lin Yuxin, "Xin'er, let's go back to our room and have a good rest." As she said that, she carefully picked up Lin Yuxin and walked towards the room.
Only Lin Yuxi was left standing there.
……
Back in her room, Lin Yuxi sat in front of the dressing table and rubbed her temples.
[Little assistant, give me the original owner's memories and plot. ]
After a moment, a huge amount of information flooded into her mind.
The original owner, Lin Yuxi, was a typical lady from a noble family. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was a famous talented woman in the empire.
Her twin sister, Lin Yuxin, was spoiled by her parents and could not bear the hardship of studying. She only learned the basics of everything, so in the eyes of everyone she was just known as lively and cute.
Although Lin Yuxin has a little temper, it is not a big deal and the two sisters get along well.
If things develop in this way, Lin Yuxi will marry into the family and become the mistress of the family, and Lin Yuxin will find a second legitimate son with a gentle personality, and the two sisters will be able to live a happy life.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuxin was exposed!
Lin Yuxin, who has been deeply poisoned by modern novels, is obviously dissatisfied when faced with the scene of this pair of sisters, one weak and one strong, especially when she is the weaker one!
Lin Yuxin, who had read too many novels, especially those about ancient palace fighting and palace fighting, naturally thought that it was the elder sister Lin Yuxi who suppressed her younger sister and stepped on her younger sister Lin Yuxin to constantly gain fame...
After Lin Yuxi sorted out this information, she just wanted to sigh in her heart. How many sins must she have committed in her lifetime to deserve being tortured by these people!
……
After a few days, Lin Yuxin's health finally recovered. On this day, the weather was fine and Lin's mother held a banquet in the garden to show her concern, saying that she wanted to calm Lin Yuxin down.
During the banquet, there were delicious delicacies and everyone was laughing and talking happily.
Lin Yuxin thought about the news she had heard in the past few days, her eyes turned, and she smiled at Lin Yuxi beside her.
"Sister, you are an excellent pianist, and you are considered the best in the capital. Since everyone is so excited today, why don't you play a song for us? Let us enjoy the pleasure of listening to it."
Lin Yuxi looked at Lin Yuxin quietly, with a hint of subtle sarcasm in her cold eyes. She felt annoyed when she saw Lin Yuxin's coquettish tone, intimate and coquettish performance like a movie queen.
There was no fluctuation on her delicate face, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. In her eyes, Lin Yuxin's artificial posture was just a poor performance.
She was too familiar with these so-called time-traveling girls, and the calculations and jealousy hidden behind every word and expression!
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly, her expression was indescribably gentle and amiable. Acting, right? She thought she was as good as anyone.
"Sister, you are joking. I have been busy with trivial matters recently and my hands are not so good. I am afraid that I will not play well and spoil everyone's fun."
When Lin Yuxin heard this refusal, she was not worried but happy. What did the refusal mean?
It means she is scared!
This elder sister is really just a name in vain. She doesn't believe that a lady from an ancient family who never leaves her house can have such profound artistic attainments.
Isn’t it said that art without emotion is empty?
So the corners of her mouth turned up, and she became more obsessed, "Sister, don't be so modest. Even if you haven't played for a few days, let alone a few years, the music you play will be praised by everyone who hears it!
My sister wants to listen, so please play a song for her! I believe all the elders and relatives present here today are also looking forward to it. "
After saying this, she deliberately looked at everyone at the table, her eyes full of anticipation.
Auntie San, who was standing by, also agreed with a smile after hearing this: "Yes, Yuxi, everyone knows that you are an outstanding musician, so don't refuse."
Lin Yuxin glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone seemed to be waiting for Lin Yuxi's performance. She felt even more proud and continued:
"Sister, stop hiding it. Come on, let us see how talented you are, Daxia's most talented woman!"
"Mother always praises your talent. If you don't play today, wouldn't that be a waste of her kindness?"
Mother Lin sat in the main seat, frowned slightly, looked at Lin Yuxi and said, "Yuxi, since everyone says so, just play a song." There was not much tenderness in her words, but more of a commanding tone.
Lin Yuxi watched the time-traveling girl's singing and dancing performance and snorted in her heart, ugly people are more likely to do bad things!
You want to listen, right?
Satisfy you! As long as you don't become autistic after listening to it!
Although she thought so, Lin Yuxi's face was still as gentle as spring breeze, maintaining her demeanor as a noble lady from an aristocratic family: "Yes, since my sister and the elders want to hear it, then Yuxi will show her ugliness."
After that, Lin Yuxi walked to the piano, sat down gracefully, and played the piano with her jade fingers. In an instant, beautiful piano music poured out like a gurgling stream, sometimes gentle and low, sometimes passionate and surging, and everyone present was intoxicated by it.
Mother Lin looked pleased and nodded slightly. This was the last time her eldest daughter could make her proud. Finally, she had not raised her in vain!
Other elders of the tribe were also immersed in it, some closed their eyes lightly, and some swayed their bodies gently to the rhythm.
When the song ended, everyone was amazed.
"Yuxi's piano skills have improved again. It's really amazing! I can hear it in my ears for three days!"
"This song should only exist in heaven, but how many times can it be heard in the human world!"
"My sister-in-law is really good at raising children. If my Xiaoyue had Yuxi's talent, I would wake up laughing in my sleep!"
Lin Yuxin's face turned ugly in an instant. She bit her lip. She didn't expect Lin Yuxi's piano skills to be so outstanding. Her provocation did not embarrass her but instead made her famous. It was simply outrageous!
But Lin Yuxin is not a pushover either!
"Sister is really amazing, but I have also learned some dance recently and want to show it to everyone." Lin Yuxin said, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, she stood up and danced impatiently.
Her body twisted, her waist was as flexible as a snake, her arms waved wildly in the air, and her steps were light yet powerful.
The dance she performed was very different from the elegant dance commonly seen in ancient times. Her movements were bold and fiery, and her white calves were exposed as her skirt fluttered.
The relatives and elders present were all stunned, some even opened their mouths in shock and almost dropped the teacups in their hands.
The female guests covered their faces and whispered to each other, expressing their surprise and dissatisfaction at Lin Yuxin's bold move. The male guests' eyes flickered, not knowing where to look.
Lin Yuxin felt good about herself. As she danced, she looked at her sister Lin Yuxi with a provocative expression, her eyes full of pride and boasting, as if to say:
"Sister, you are good at playing the piano, but my dancing is not bad either. Let's see how I can attract everyone's attention."
Lin Yuxi sat there quietly, without any panic or jealousy on her face. She just frowned slightly, her eyes revealing helplessness and a hint of sadness towards her sister's lack of sense of propriety.
What can I do to save you, my dear sister?
After the dance, Lin Yuxin panted, her face full of pride, expecting everyone's praise. However, the scene was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Finally, an elder could not help but scolded, "Yuxin, this is outrageous! Such a bold and unbridled dance is not what a lady from a noble family should do!"
Lin Yuxin's smile froze instantly. She looked at everyone in disbelief, not understanding why the dance she had carefully prepared was not recognized.
At this time, Lin Yuxi slowly stood up, bowed to the elders, and said, "My sister is young and ignorant, I hope the elders will not blame me."
Her voice was gentle yet firm, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere on the field.
Lin Yuxin looked at Lin Yuxi's proper behavior, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable loss and regret surged in her heart. She stood up stubbornly, but felt that time was so torturous.
Seeing this, Lin's mother quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, there are so many elders here today, and Yuxin is just playing tricks on me. We, as elders, shouldn't be too harsh on her!"
Seeing everyone nodding in embarrassment but politely, Lin's mother turned around and looked at Lin Yuxin.
After all, she was her beloved little daughter, so she didn't want to blame her too much. She just advised, "Xin'er, we elders know your filial piety, but you still have to be more careful when you are outside in the future. Do you understand?"
Lin Yuxin nodded frustratedly, but kept cursing in her heart, what a bunch of old-fashioned people! It turns out that the men have better taste!
She sat down angrily, glared at Lin Yuxi fiercely, and stopped talking. However, her clenched fists showed her inner resentment and anger.
……
A few days later, a grand poetry gathering was about to be held in Yanyu Tower. When Lin Yuxin heard the news, her eyes lit up and she insisted on attending.
Mother Lin knew that those who could attend this party were all famous talented men and beautiful women, and her eldest daughter Lin Yuxi was the most honored guest among them, so she agreed with a smile and asked Lin Yuxi to take good care of Xin'er.
……
That day, Lin Yuxin got up early, sat in front of the dressing table, and painted herself in front of the bronze mirror. She chose the brightest lip balm to make her lips look rosy and charming, and used a black brush to lightly draw her eyebrows, which were curved like a crescent moon. She also pasted a unique flower on her forehead to add a bit of charm.
Lin Yuxi had already dressed up. Looking at Lin Yuxin's makeup, she couldn't help but frown slightly and advised her kindly, "Don't be too ostentatious."
Lin Yuxin didn't care and continued to fiddle with her jewelry. She chose a pair of dazzling pearl earrings and matched them with a gorgeous golden hairpin, which swayed gently with her movements, flashing a dazzling light.
After finishing her dress-up, Lin Yuxin stood up and walked back and forth in the room, admiring her figure. She was wearing a gorgeous silk dress with exquisite flower and bird patterns embroidered on the hem, and a pink ribbon tied around her waist, which made her waist look even slimmer.
"Sister, how about it? Can I outshine all the other girls?"
Lin Yuxi wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this. What a conspicuous bag!
The two sisters went out together to the poetry reading. Along the way, Lin Yuxin held her head high, full of confidence, and looked forward to becoming the focus of everyone's attention at the poetry reading. Lin Yuxi, on the other hand, was silently thinking about the plot, with a calm expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.
