Lin Ruoxuan was slightly surprised when she heard the old lady say this, so she smiled and said, "Then it's better for me to stay with the old lady." ”

The old lady was drinking tea casually, but after listening to Lin Ruoxuan's words, she raised her head in surprise, and said, "No need, you are pregnant, and it will be difficult to walk in the night for a while, don't worry, I won't eat your sister." ”

Lin Ruoxuan bowed slightly: "The old lady laughed, how dare the daughter-in-law not worry." ”

Saying that, Lin Ruoxuan gently patted Lin Zhixuan's hand and signaled her not to be afraid, and she was helped by Lu Lan to leave first.

The old lady looked Lin Zhixuan up and down, and then pointed to the chair on the side and said to Lin Zhixuan, "Sit." ”

Lin Zhixuan smiled at the corner of her lips, bowed down and responded: "Yes." ”

I went over and sat down.

The old lady took another sip of tea before saying, "You said, you met bandits on the road?"

There is no politeness, no hypocrisy and no grievances.

This once again showed Lin Zhixuan that the old lady of the Li family had a lofty status in the family, and she was not worth wasting a little extra tongue at all.

Lin Zhixuan smiled and said, "Yes." ”

The old lady kept looking at Lin Zhixuan, with a noble scrutinizing look: "How did you escape?"

Lin Zhixuan said: "My brother knows a little martial arts, and the Lin family also has a few little guys who can do it, those bandits don't have horses, my brother fought with them, and let the little guys rush out of the bandit surrounding, and when they got to a crowded place, they didn't dare to follow." ”

Foolproof.

The old lady's frowning brow loosened slightly.

Lin Zhixuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and the old lady said, "Then, how did your fourth sister get hurt?"

Lin Zhixuan's heart tightened, and then she said: "At the beginning, they blocked the road, and they also fought with their brother for a while, and the carriage of the fourth sister was in front, and the bandits killed the little girl, rushed in, and was injured. It was only later that my brother came up with such an idea to make the carriage run fast. ”

The old lady said: "The elder and the young are respectful and orderly, and her carriage is actually in front of you?"

Lin Zhixuan bowed down and said: "The fourth sister lost her father at a young age, and the orphans and widows went to my family, and my mother and I have always been very kind to their mother and daughter. ”

The old lady laughed: "You are really kind. ”

I can't tell if it's praise or sarcasm.

Lin Zhixuan did not answer.

Then the old lady asked, "Isn't there a servant in your fourth sister's carriage? How is it that she is wounded, but the people under her are intact?"

Lin Zhixuan hesitated for a moment before saying: "The servant woman was also frightened at that time, and when she saw the gangsters coming up, she would only hide back in fright, so that the fourth sister suffered." The servant woman was greedy for life and afraid of death, which made the old lady smile. ”

Foolproof.

The old lady put down the teacup in her hand: "Since your fourth sister is injured, why don't you find a place to recuperate for a while longer, and send someone to send a letter to Beijing to report it, and I will send someone to pick you up." But he entered Beijing in such a hurry. ”

Lin Zhixuan said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I'm afraid that the little guy won't be able to understand it, and if she is in a hurry, she will scare the second sister again, so that she will be frightened and don't know what the situation is outside."

Moreover, after the doctor bandaged the fourth sister at that time, he also said that it was okay for the time being. We are always going to enter Beijing, and it is better to settle down in Beijing and then slowly heal our injuries outside, and there are still imperial doctors in the Li Mansion, which are naturally better than the doctors outside. Therefore, my brother ordered us to go to Beijing first. ”

The old lady looked at Lin Zhixuan, and her expression became more and more inexplicable.

After a long time, the old lady smiled lightly and said: "It's really difficult for you, girl, you are scared on the road, and now that you have entered the capital, there will be no more such scary things." Let's go back and rest early. ”

Lin Zhixuan didn't know whether she had passed this level or not, so she only got up and bowed down: "Old lady Xie, the old lady also rested earlier, and Ah Zhi retired first." ”

The old lady nodded with a smile and asked the maids to send her out, only then did she pick up her string of vajra bodhi beads again, and twisted them one by one, until it was night, and Li Zi'an came back.

The red note stepped forward to give Li Zi'an a wide coat, and Li Zi'an said to the old lady sitting on the kang and chanting: "That child of the Lin family is a manufacturable material, it would be a pity if he only stayed in Hangzhou." ”

When the old lady heard this, she opened her eyes and looked at Li Zi'an: "That kid is very clever?"

Li Zi'an sat on the other side of the small bed table, took the tea handed over by the red note, and said, "Very clever and insightful." ”

Hearing this, the old lady nodded slowly: "That girl from the Lin family is not bad." It seems that the Lin family is a clever person. ”

Li Zi'an listened to the old lady's words, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

The old lady told Li Zi'an about the attack on the Lin family in Beijing.

Li Zi'an was also quite surprised.

The old lady continued: "I asked Chu Ning to inquire about this matter, they were robbed by bandits, most of them died, but there was no shortage of trunk niches. ”

Li Zi'an also frowned when he heard this, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

The old lady said: "If this can be done, either they are lying, or they have wiped out the bandits." But Chu Ning went to ask, and all the little guys really encountered bandits. Then it can only be the latter, with just a few small guys, can you kill a gang of bandits?"

The old lady said and put away the rosary in her hand, hooked her lips and smiled: "But tonight, the girl told me that her brother's little servant beat the horse and rushed out, and those bandits couldn't catch up, so she let it go." ”

Li Zi'an also smiled when he heard this: "It's like an idea that kid can come up with." ”

The old lady nodded, but said: "However, the fourth girl of the Lin family was injured, and the wound was not wide, not a knife wound, but like a sword wound, but I didn't expect that today's bandits would also use such an elegant thing as a sword." ”

Li Zi'an twisted his eyebrows when he heard this: "You mean, this fourth girl may not have been injured by bandits?"

The old lady said: "I don't know, I'm just suspicious, but now that there is chaos outside, if you have to say that there are a few people in the rivers and lakes who use swords in this bandit, it is not impossible to say that they have fallen into the grass because of the earthquake." ”

Li Zi'an nodded.

The old lady said: "My little doubt, the girl of the Lin family can answer it well." ”

"Oh?" Li Zi'an put down the teacup and glanced at the old lady, "A girl can know this matter so clearly, and even your suspicions can be dealt with, which is very doubtful in itself." ”

The old lady wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at the void and said, "That girl is either a delicate and very smart child. Either it's a character who is as careful as dust and very difficult. ”

Li Zi'an shook his head when he heard this: "It's just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, I'm afraid it's just because he often follows his brother and learns a little bit of cleverness." ”

In this regard, the old lady had her own judgment of the old lady, and did not say a word about Li Zi'an's words, but asked: "A few days ago, Wei Zhehuai, the prince of Yingjun, took the people from the patrol camp to Quyang to rescue Prince Jing, is there any news?"

Li Zi'an's face sank and said: "I was about to tell you about this, after the early dynasty today, the emperor left me, Wang Jingsheng and Liao Qing in the imperial study to discuss the matter of Wei Yingxiang, the prince of Zhenguo, inheriting the title of Prince Zhuang......"
