798: Chapter 792 Dragon Boat Festival 798: Chapter 792 Dragon Boat Festival Full of concerns, she acted timidly and cautiously in her every move.
She really wanted to do as Searcy said, seeing soone displeasing, too lazy to waste words with them, a packet of poison as a gift would settle all scores.
A mont later, Jin Zijin added, “When you have ti, make more antidote pills and send them to Lingnan.
Even if they can’t completely detoxify, at least they would help clear their minds a bit.”
Gu Youyou had studied the dicine she was supposed to take and found traces of hallucinogens.
She didn’t know what her mind was like before she traveled to this ti, but since she never took that dicine after arriving, she had never encountered any problems with her mind.
The only other drugged person she had t was Jin Ziyuan, but the dicine he took was slightly different from hers!
He even had an additional prescription.
…
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Youyou naturally got up early.
Xiang Chun took a beautiful multicolored silk ribbon and tied it on her.
This silk ribbon was called Longevity Thread, another na was Life-Continuing Thread, another Soldier-Repelling Sash, also known as Five-Colored Thread, and Vermilion Cord, warding off soldiers and ghosts, to keep people free from sickness and plague.
These were so of the ancient customs of the festival, customs which continue to modern day, with many places still observing them.
In this era, the richer and more powerful families were, the more they adhered to these ancient rites.
Aside from wearing multicolored silk ribbons, it was also customary to hang wormwood and calamus over each door.
It was said they had the effect of warding off illness and evil spirits!
Before long, Lin Qianqing ca back.
She arrived together with the Crown Prince Jin Xiaoran, and given such an entourage, everyone from the Lin Family had to go out to receive them.
Gu Youyou, supporting Old Madam Lin, went early to the main gate to wait, and at the sa ti, she saw a large flock of ladies within the vast Lin Residence.
With their daughter and son-in-law visiting, Madam Lin was overjoyed and permitted the group of ladies in the back courtyard to co out for a bit of exposure to the world.
Uncle Lin Xingyi and cousin Lin Shenxing were just like what Gu Youyou had seen on her visit to the Yue Residence; amidst a sea of flowers, a touch of green.
The Lin Residence, like the Yue Residence, was severely matriarchal.
The carriage arrived at the main gate of the Lin Residence.
The Crown Prince and his wife got off the carriage, and Lin Xingyi led the Lin Family to pay their deep respects.
“Greetings to King Jin, King Jin’s wife.”
Once a prince was married, he could be granted a kingly title.
Apart from the Crown Prince, the title of King Jin was the most distinguished.
The Emperor, however, gave it to the eldest prince who replaced Prince Qin after his punishnt, which really was like giving a slap followed by a sweet date.
People said that no matter which of the two princes beca the Crown Prince in the future, currently, the position of King Jin was sowhat higher than that of Prince Qin.
King Jin, Jin Xiaoran, seed to be in a good mood and personally helped Lin Xingyi to his feet, saying, “Father-in-law, please dispense with the formality.
Your son-in-law greets you…”
After, he also paid respects to the Old Madam Lin and Madam Lin as a junior, proving himself to be quite the people person, with no airs about him.
This was Gu Youyou’s first encounter with Lin Qianqing and Jin Xiaoran in half a year.
The n of the Jin imperial family were all quite attractive.
Although Jin Xiaoran couldn’t compare to Jin Zijin or Jin Ziyuan, not even to Lin Qianqing’s other cousin Jin Wei, his strong genes still made him far better than most.
As for Lin Qianqing, Gu Youyou looked at her and felt a pang of heartache.
The girl used to have a cute, slightly chubby baby face, but in just a few months, she had lost enough weight to sharpen her chin, and with her wistful poise, she had so of the grace of Miss Lin.
Gu Youyou observed Jin Xiaoran’s attitude toward Lin Qianqing closely.
He was always attentive and careful with her, thought Gu Youyou about Miss Lin.
By the looks of it so far, the man did not seem to be bad!
