Liu Xiang had nothing to say, so she only took advantage of Chen's absence to let the two of them kowtow to Lin Jiahong in a hurry, and arranged for the two of them to go to the mountain tower where few people came, only saying that they would stay here for a long time, and that they would send food at noon, and when she was free in the evening, she would send a carriage to send them back. But it was too late, and it was already past the time for lunch, but the two grandparents still didn't see anyone.

The door of the mountain tower was locked again, and the two could only sit on the stone steps outside the door, facing the stone path that Lin Zhixuan came up with.

Lin Zhixuan listened to the words of the two of them, and gradually guessed in her heart that this little girl turned out to be the daughter of her second brother Lin Jiahong.

When Mrs. Zheng saw Lin Zhixuan and Qiu Ju, the two had already bypassed the fence of the mountain tower and arrived in front of them.

Mrs. Zheng was originally overjoyed when she saw someone coming, but looking at Lin Zhixuan's appearance and dress, she didn't look like a little girl who came to deliver food, but like a young lady, so she hugged her eldest sister and bent her knees to give Lin Zhixuan a salute.

Lin Zhixuan hurriedly asked Qiu Ju to help her up, but Lin Zhixuan was looking at the eldest sister carefully, saying that the nephew is like an uncle and the daughter is like a father, this eldest sister is only two or three years old, wearing a red silk jacket, her body looks thin and small, but she has a fleshy little face, her big eyes are black and bright, but she has a bit of a timid appearance, which is very cute, and this appearance is five points similar to Sister Lin'er when she was a child. No wonder she looked at it from afar and thought it was Sister Lin.

Lin Zhixuan stepped forward and wanted to take the eldest sister's hug, but Mrs. Zheng took a step back and said, "I don't know which lady the girl is?"

Qiu Ju hurriedly said: "This is the third girl of our Lin family. ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly saluted again.

Lin Zhixuan smiled and said, "Get up, this is the daughter of the second brother?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lin Zhixuan said: "There are a lot of things at home today, and the second sister-in-law is taking care of it, Liu Xiang is the right-hand man of the second sister-in-law, and there are some who can't take care of it for a while, so it's better to go to my place to eat something first, so that the eldest sister can sleep for a while, and the aunt can also rest." How about another plan?"

Mrs. Zheng was also hesitant, just looking at Lin Zhixuan's kind eyes, she was very sincere, and the eldest sister was hungry. He nodded in agreement.

Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "Qiu Ju, help support your aunt and eldest sister, the road here is steep, be careful not to fall." ”

"Hey. Qiu Ju hurriedly responded, and it took a few people some effort to go down to look at the mountain tower. went to Lin Zhixuan's apricot grove residence.

Now that Lin Ruoxuan is married, there is no one in Lin Zhixuan's room, three of the four big girls went to Chen's place to help, one followed Lin Zhixuan to feast outside, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the house also followed to watch the lively play, only Hexiang and Xing'er were left in the house to watch the house, and the two of them were sitting on the steps in the yard You and I complained about Gu's mother unfairly, why did they all go out to play, but left the two of them.

As the two were talking, they saw Lin Zhixuan coming back with a mother-in-law and a child behind her. was also surprised, and hurriedly stood up, Lin Zhixuan didn't say much when she saw the two of them, but smiled and sent the two of them to the kitchen to get some shrimp egg custard, almond milk and some delicate food pastries that soft and glutinous children can eat.

Hexiang and Xing'er had never seen the eldest sister, so they just thought it was a young lady from which family, and arranged to come to Lin Zhixuan's house to rest for a while, so they hurriedly responded.

Mrs. Zheng carried her eldest sister into Lin Zhixuan's house, and her eyes widened when she looked at the exquisite boudoir, only thinking that this was where the official lady should live, and sighed sadly for the eldest sister.

Lin Zhixuan first asked Qiu Ju to take the small snacks that she always had in the house and gave them to Mrs. Zheng and her eldest sister to eat some mats first. I've asked the little girl to pass the meal, and I'll come in a while.

asked Qiu Ju to serve tea to Mrs. Zheng, brought a bowl of hawthorn honey water to the eldest sister, and served the eldest sister on the side to pick and eat as much as she liked.

Lin Zhixuan heard the eldest sister call this mother-in-law and grandma. I had some conjecture in my heart, but I still asked: "I'm young, and I don't leave the house, and many relatives in the family don't know each other, so I don't know what to call my aunt?"

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said: "Where does the girl say, we are just poor countrymen. My family's surname is Zheng, and he is the head of our family in the village of Wuchang Township, and originally had a daughter named Orchid who was a girl in our house, and later ...... Later, I was not blessed, and I gave birth to this child, so I went. ”

Mrs. Zheng said and shed tears, Lin Zhixuan also knew what she meant, and when she wanted to come to be a maid at home, she was taken by the second brother, and when she had a child, Liu Xiang wanted to help Lin Jiahong cover up and keep the child, but the girl called Orchid finally died under the coercion of the Chen family.

It's just that this child is Mrs. Wang's granddaughter after all, how can she be raised in a village in the countryside like this?

Lin Zhixuan didn't want to ask her, or later Qiu Ju and Lin Zhixuan said: "At that time, the second grandmother had just passed the door for less than two years, and she had a miscarriage without a child, and the second grandmother had an eldest sister, and the second grandmother also said at home that there would be no her, and she was not allowed to be raised in the house. ”

Lin Zhixuan sighed when she heard it.

Seeing the eldest sister sitting there obediently eating rose cakes, drinking honey water with a small spoon, she was very well-behaved and sensible, compared to Sister Lin, who was loved by thousands of people, she was even more pitiful.

Lin Zhixuan said: "Why did my aunt think about bringing her eldest sister over today?"

Mrs. Zheng also said helplessly: "I was thinking, although we are all lowly poor families, but the eldest sister is the young lady of the Lin family, and I originally wanted to take advantage of today's happy day for the second girl in the house to see if I can ask for the grace of my wife, let the eldest sister stay, and no longer have to follow us farmers to endure hardship." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Zheng also wiped away her tears: "The eldest sister is well-behaved and sensible, and she is handsome, our family can't afford to raise her, but I'm afraid that raising in Zhuangzi will make us teach badly. But I don't want to come today, let alone see my wife, even the second master finally begged Miss Liu Xiang to kowtow when she saw her, and she didn't have time to say anything, the second master frowned, just blame us for what to do on such a good day, let's go back quickly......"

Lin Zhixuan listened to Mrs. Zheng's words, and her heart was also desolate, in her previous life, Lin Zhixuan had never heard of the eldest sister, and she thought that it was really as Mrs. Zheng said, she lived in Zhuangzi in obscurity for a lifetime, and then married a farmer casually.
