Chapter 246: The Li Family

Lin Zhixuan stopped the third wife with a smile first, and only said: "Third aunt, we came to the capital on this trip, something happened on the way, more than half of the little sister was killed and injured, and my fourth sister was also injured, and she was still unconscious in the carriage, I am afraid that she will not be able to go with us to ask the old lady for peace." Please also ask the third aunt to settle them for the time being, and then we will go to the old lady. ”

The third lady was so frightened when she heard Lin Zhixuan's words that her face changed: "How could such a thing happen? There were even dead people, and the fourth girl was also injured? There was such a bold person outside, hey, hurry, Qingya hurriedly went to call Mama to carry Lin Si girl to the wing room of Second Grandma Liang Qiushuangzhai, Xizhao hurriedly asked people to take the right cards to ask the imperial doctor, Laifu went to call Cai Huihui, and settled the injured little servants of the Lin family, and then invited the doctor outside. ”

The third wife's two close-fitting big maids and a small servant who led Lin Jiahong in all bowed down and hurried away.

Lin Zhixuan listened carefully to what she said, and she was able to let people get the right cards, which meant that the trivial matters of the Li family's back house were in the hands of the third wife.

The third master of the Li family has never been out of office, only in charge of the family's business, and the trivial matters of the back house are in the hands of the third wife, but I never thought that the third master of the Li family, who was born in the family, is still quite powerful at home.

Lin Zhixuan didn't have time to think about it, so she was pulled by the third lady and walked towards the old lady, while keeping asking what was going on the road.

Lin Jiahong had already confessed to Lin Zhixuan, saying that he was a mountain bandit encountered in Xushui County after Baoding, and Lin Jiahong escaped with the little guy fighting all the way, but the little guy broke most of it.

When the third lady heard the dead and the fighting, she was already so frightened that she covered her chest with her hands, and said to Lin Zhixuan vigorously: "Hey, you said that it was so easy to invite the young lady of the in-laws to come to the capital, how could you encounter such a thing, such a big crime, I am afraid it will frighten you, ordinary people will never encounter such a thing in their life, even if they have rarely heard of it, how can these bandits outside be so bold? Aren't they afraid of officers and soldiers to investigate?"

Lin Jiahong said with a smile: "Now there is an earthquake outside, a plague, a famine, and there is chaos everywhere, and officials from all over the country can't manage the disaster relief, where can they still manage those elusive bandits, now there are homeless people everywhere, and the official registration of various prefectures can't keep up, and people everywhere are in chaos." They robbed people and fled, and there was nowhere to find them. ”

The third wife looked at Lin Zhixuan and Lin Jiahong with a distressed face: "Oh, that's too unusual, this is really even the female relatives of the official eunuch family dare to rob it, no, no, no, you can't go out again, when it's so chaotic, that is, Ruoxuan's girl is messing around, she has to ask you to come over, you see, there is such a big thing, if your mother knows, I am afraid that I will be frightened, and I will feel distressed." ”

Lin Zhixuan saw that the three wives also really felt sorry for her, and knew that they were mothers, so they couldn't listen to this easily, so they didn't say any more, so they had to persuade her: "It's also a blessing in misfortune, my brother and I are not injured, and my brother naturally told my mother slowly after I went back." ”

When the third lady heard this, she hurriedly said: "Hey, what are you going back to, don't go back, it's so chaotic outside, Brother Hong is also staying in the capital, wait for it to be quiet outside and then go back." ”

Lin Jiahong smiled and made a gesture to the third wife: "I want to disturb my aunt here, but I am still on duty in the yamen, and I was only allowed a month off, and now it has been delayed for more than 20 days, I am afraid that if I settle down my sisters, I will have to go back quickly, and I can't delay anymore." ”

The third lady still wanted to say something, only to see that after going around for most of the day, she suddenly opened up when she entered a corner door, which was the main house of the Li family, where the old lady lived, the eaves and lacquer pillars were very magnificent, and there were three red gold characters "Fushoutang" written on it.

The third wife led Lin Zhixuan and Lin Jiahong in, and then entered the door of the hall, and the third wife did not shout to the old lady because of Lin Zhixuan's salute: "Oh, old lady, don't you know, these children have encountered such terrible things along the way, no wonder they have been delayed for so many days to arrive, they actually met bandits, only the little girl was killed and injured, and the four girls of the Lin family were also injured, and now they are still in a coma, so I asked someone to send the original accommodation to the place, and let people go to the imperial doctor." ”

Originally, the old lady was also very surprised when she heard that Lin Zhixuan had met a bandit, but in the end of listening to the third wife's words, the old lady only frowned.

Lin Zhixuan was very surprised that the third lady would talk to the old lady like this as soon as she came, she herself was scared enough, and she should naturally be more taboo and tactful when talking to the old man. But Lin Zhixuan quietly looked at the old lady who was sitting alone on the front couch, and when they came in, the old lady was casually crooked on the kang table, holding a string of prayer beads of Vajra Bodhi in her hand.

The old lady is not as bloated and rich as the old ladies of ordinary rich and noble families, but her appearance is very thin and well-proportioned, her face is solemn, she does not smile often, her eyes are deep and sharp, the bridge of her nose is high, and her thin lips are slightly drooping.

Originally, after hearing that Lin Zhixuan and her party had encountered bandits, they seemed to be going to ask something, but after listening to the words of the third empress dowager, they seemed to swallow all the words back, and only said: "Since this is the case, I will go to heal and rest first, and then come back at dinner." ”

Lin Ruoxuan was already frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Zhixuan up and down, left and right: "How could you encounter such a thing? But if you are injured, you blame me, blame me, how can you let you come to Beijing, let you suffer so much, how can you lose weight like this?"

Lin Ruoxuan said, she wiped away her tears, Lin Zhixuan hurriedly smiled, and persuaded Lin Ruoxuan to say that she was okay and was not hurt at all.

Lin Zhixuan only looked at Lin Ruoxuan's luxurious clothes now, although the headdress was very simple and light because she was pregnant, but everything was worth a lot, just looking at Lin Ruoxuan's ruddy complexion, and her figure was much plumper than when she was in the Lin family, Lin Zhixuan knew that she was doing well, so she finally let go.

Seeing that Lin Ruoxuan was crying, the eldest lady also came to persuade her, saying: "Everyone is already standing here safely, it's just okay, this is all luck in misfortune, the past is gone, don't always think about being afraid." Your body is not big for a month, but you can't cry like this, it hurts your body the most. It's that you don't think about yourself, but you also think about the child in your belly. ”

Lin Zhixuan listened to the eldest lady's gentle and kind voice, and couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady of the Li family, just looking at her face, she was more kind and dignified than the third wife.

The old lady looked at Lin Ruoxuan crying, and couldn't help but wring her eyebrows and said, "Aren't everyone in Beijing well, why are you crying here?"

The old lady's words frightened Lin Ruoxuan to stop crying, wiped away her tears, and apologized to the old lady: "It's the daughter-in-law who wants to be wrong." What the old lady said was that it was good to come. ”

The third wife also hurriedly stepped forward to play the round, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's good to be able to enter Beijing safely, I see that my brother and girl are all dusty, I am really tired, Ruoxuan is pregnant again, why don't I lead them back to make arrangements." Come back in the evening and kowtow to the old lady. ”

The old lady wrung her eyebrows and glanced at the third lady, and then at the eldest lady, the eldest lady saw the old lady's displeased gaze, and then followed: "I'm afraid that the third sister can't take care of it, otherwise, I'll follow along." ”

The old lady said coldly: "I still need you two main wives to go over to this idea, you better stay here and accompany me." ”
