Chapter 229 Flower Headband Tags
Seeing that Lin Yuxin was becoming more and more presentable, Lin's mother was in a very good mood. She dressed up carefully that day and took the twin sisters Lin Yuxin and Lin Yuxi out.
Along the way, Lin's mother had a smile on her face, her eyes full of pride and expectation.
"My two dear daughters, today we must let everyone see the elegance of our Lin family's daughters." Mother Lin said affectionately, holding the sisters' hands.
Lin Yuxi and Lin Yuxin nodded obediently. Lin Yuxin was still a little nervous. After all, this was the first time she had such a serious social interaction since she traveled to ancient times, right?
……
When they arrived at the gathering place, Lin's mother and the two sisters appeared and attracted a lot of attention.
"Oh, these are the two young ladies of the Lin family. They look exactly the same. They are both beautiful as flowers. Madam Lin is so lucky!" A lady came forward first.
"Madam, you are too kind." Mother Lin responded with a smile, "This is Yuxi, and this is Yuxin."
"Haha, I really can't tell them apart. They are all so dignified and beautiful." The lady praised with a smile.
When Lin Yuxin heard this, she was quite happy at first. After all, this was an affirmation of her learning achievements during this period.
But as people kept mistaking her for her sister, her expression gradually darkened.
"Mrs. Lin is so lucky. Both of her daughters are so outstanding. I wonder which one is the eldest?" someone else asked.
Mother Lin smiled and pointed at Lin Yuxi, saying, "This is the eldest daughter, Yuxi."
Lin Yuxin bit her lip and thought to herself, "Am I so unremarkable? Why can't anyone tell me apart from my sister?"
Lin Yuxi always maintained a decent smile and responded to everyone's praise, while Lin Yuxin was a little absent-minded.
At this time, a young lady came over and took Lin Yuxin's hand, saying, "Sister Yuxi, why don't you come out to play recently? Your embroidery skills must have improved a lot, right?"
Lin Yuxin pulled her hand back awkwardly and said, "I'm Yuxin. My sister's embroidery skills are always good. I can't compare to her."
The young lady was immediately embarrassed and quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I made a mistake."
Lin Yuxin forced a smile and said, "It's okay." But she felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart.
Lin's mother saw all this and noticed Lin Yuxin's unhappiness.
While everyone was not paying attention, Lin's mother pulled Lin Yuxin over and asked softly, "Xin'er, are you unhappy?"
Lin Yuxin lowered her head and whispered, "Mother, why can't everyone tell me apart from my sister? Don't I have anything special about me?"
Mother Lin touched her head distressedly and said, "Xin'er, don't let your imagination run wild. You and your sister are both treasures in your mother's heart. It's just that your sister has always been gentle and dignified, and she follows the rules and etiquette very well. Everyone has a preconceived notion about this."
Lin Yuxin raised her head, her eyes full of stubbornness: "Mother, I must make sure everyone remembers me, remembers me, Lin Yuxin!"
Mother Lin looked at her daughter's determined eyes, smiled and nodded: "Okay, mother believes in you."
In the following time, Lin Yuxin tried even harder to express herself. She talked to people elegantly and showed off her newly learned talents, but even so, some people still mistook her identity for her sister.
Lin Yuxin was feeling very upset, so she found an excuse to go to the garden to get some fresh air.
She looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, her mind full of thoughts.
"What should I do to make everyone remember me?" Lin Yuxin murmured to herself.
Just then, Lin Yuxi came over.
"Xin'er, are you worried about everyone mistaking us for us?" Lin Yuxi asked softly.
Lin Yuxin glanced at Lin Yuxi and nodded: "Sister, aren't you angry?"
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly and said, "What's there to be angry about? Everyone was just careless for a moment."
"But I don't want to live in your shadow forever." Lin Yuxin clenched her fists.
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly, held Lin Yuxin's hand, patted it gently, and said, "Xin'er, don't be so stubborn. If you really want to get rid of my shadow, sister has an interesting way."
Lin Yuxin raised her head, her eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Sister, tell me quickly, what is the method?"
Lin Yuxi blinked, showing a rare bit of playfulness, and said, "You can print a red dot on your forehead, or draw some flowers. It would be even better if you can never remove it. It will be so unique that it will be difficult for others to mistake you."
Looking at Lin Yuxin, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Lin Yuxi changed the subject and said, "Of course, sister, this is just a sudden thought. Is there anything in this world that can never be erased after being painted?"
Lin Yuxin listened thoughtfully, and a flash of inspiration seemed to suddenly appear in her mind. She pursed her small lips gently, and after a long while, she raised her head, her eyes full of determination and confidence.
"Who said there wouldn't be any? Sister, just wait and see!"
……
When Lin Yuxin got home, she immediately rushed into her room and shouted, "Xiaolan, Xiaolan, come here quickly!"
Xiaolan came in trotting, panting and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you? You're so anxious."
Lin Yuxin excitedly took Xiaolan's hand and said, "Xiaolan, quickly bring me some paint and things that can be put on my face. I want to try some things."
Xiaolan looked puzzled, blinked her eyes and asked: "Miss, do you want to paint?"
Lin Yuxin patted Xiaolan's head and said, "What kind of painting? I just want to make some marks on my forehead so that people can tell me apart from my sister."
Xiaolan suddenly realized what was going on and immediately responded, "Okay, Miss, I'll get it right away."
After a while, Xiaolan came back with a bunch of things, and Lin Yuxin couldn't wait to start fiddling with them.
She first picked up a paintbrush, dipped it in red paint, faced the mirror, and carefully put a red dot on her forehead.
After ordering, she looked left and right, frowned and said, "Xiao Lan, what do you think? Doesn't this look a little too ordinary?"
Xiaolan tilted her head, looked at it carefully, and said, "Miss, there is a little bit of that. How about we try to draw a flower?"
"Okay, you draw it." Lin Yuxin said expectantly.
Xiaolan carefully drew a beautiful peach blossom on Lin Yuxin's forehead. Lin Yuxin took a look at it, but was still not satisfied.
"Although this painting looks beautiful, it will fall off if you wipe it off. It would be great if it could be printed permanently." Lin Yuxin said with a frown.
Suddenly, Lin Yuxin had an idea and said, "Xiao Lan, I know a way to get a tattoo. Do you think it's possible to get a tattoo on the forehead?"
Xiaolan was so scared that her face turned pale. She said quickly, "Miss, you can't do this, you can't do this. Tattoos are a punishment only used on criminals. If you tattoo it directly on your forehead, this... this... others will laugh at you if they see it!"
Lin Yuxin didn't care and said, "What are you afraid of? My tattoo is a flower. Have you ever seen a prisoner being tortured with a beautiful flower tattooed on him? Those young ladies from wealthy families are still recognizable to a certain extent!"
As long as her aesthetic taste is good, she doesn't believe that people can say it's not good-looking against their conscience. Maybe it can even lead a fashion trend?
After thinking about it, Lin Yuxin began to ask around for tattoo artists. After searching for a few days, she finally found a tattoo artist who was said to have superb skills.
Lin Yuxin brought Xiaolan to the master's residence. The master looked at her and asked, "Girl, have you thought it through? Once this tattoo is done, it cannot be changed."
Lin Yuxin nodded firmly: "Master, go ahead and do it, I've already thought about it."
The master had no choice but to start tattooing her. Lin Yuxin gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
Finally, the tattoo was completed. Lin Yuxin looked at the exquisite flower ornament on her forehead in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
"Now no one will mistake me for my sister anymore." Lin Yuxin said proudly.
Xiaolan was crying on the side. She had clearly sent a message to the lady secretly, but no one came to stop the young lady from making trouble!
If I continue like this, won’t I be beaten to death by my wife?
When they returned home, Lin Yuxin's parents and relatives were surprised to see the flower ornament on her forehead.
"Xin'er, what are you doing? How disgraceful!" Father Lin said angrily.
Lin Yuxin said disapprovingly: "Dad, this way I will be different from my sister and won't be mistaken for me again."
