Lin Wan and Zhao Jing'er walked to the table and sat down, and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl came out of the pantry with three bowls of tea and placed them in front of the three of them. The little girl lowered her head, a little shy. His face was full of joy, and he seemed to be very happy and excited that so many guests had suddenly arrived.

Tong Xinyan smiled faintly and introduced: "This is Xiaoqian, I accepted her as an apprentice, she has a high level of understanding, and she can take over my class in the future." ”

Xiao Qian's face turned red, bowed to Lin Wan and the others, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Qian, please give you sons and young ladies!"

Lin Wan smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Xiao Qian, what's your big name?"

Xiao Qian was stunned, her eyes darkened, she shook her head, and said, "Miss Hui, Xiao Qian is an orphan, she grew up with her dumb mother-in-law since she was a child, and she has no big name. Xiaoqian is the nickname given by the dumb mother-in-law, mainly because the dumb mother-in-law doesn't know many words, and these two words are easy to write. My dumb mother-in-law also passed away a few months ago, leaving me alone. Fortunately, the master took me in, otherwise I might have ended up on the streets. ”

Tong Xinyan thought for a while and said, "Xiaoqian, since you have worshiped me as a teacher, just follow my surname, and you will be called Tong Xiaoqian in the future, okay?"

Tong Xiaoqian nodded happily, her eyes were red, and she didn't know how to express her gratitude. As soon as his knees bent, he knelt in front of Tong Xinyan, kowtowed three times in a row, and said excitedly: "Thank you master! Thank you master!

Tong Xinyan smiled, shook her head, and said, "Xiaoqian, get up quickly." The master doesn't want you to be a cow or a horse, as long as you learn the craft well, find a wishful husband in the future, and live a lifetime in harmony. ”

Tong Xiaoqian stomped his feet in shame, turned around and ran back to his room, never embarrassed to come out again.

Zhao Jing'er laughed out loud, and said while laughing: "Sister-in-law, you see that you scared the little girls so much that they hid in the room." You are now about to get married, and you have found Ruyi Langjun, and the days are harmonious and beautiful. I wish that everyone in the world was as happy as you, how could there be so many good things in the world?

Tong Xinyan glared at Zhao Jing'er, then glanced at Zhao Mingjin, snorted lightly, and said, "You mean, I can marry your eldest brother, I picked up the treasure?"

Zhao Mingjin hurriedly denied it: "Jing'er didn't cover her mouth, talking nonsense! It should be that I can marry you, and it is I who have cultivated it in several lifetimes." Our Zhao family can have a daughter-in-law like you, it is really the ancestor who has accumulated virtue and the Buddha cares for him. ”

Lin Wan hugged his arms, fought an exaggerated cold war, and said in a weird manner: "Big cousin, big cousin, please leave these fleshy words to your cave room to spend candle nights, okay?"

Zhao Mingxi also sighed pitifully and said, "Wan'er, you don't know, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have tortured us miserably these days. Especially Mingyi and I, who were originally sad people who were alone, but there were those who were inhumane, and they still poured salt on our wounds. ”

Zhao Mingjin glanced at Zhao Mingxi and Zhao Mingyi, stood up, and said softly to Tong Xinyan: "Xinyan, I'll accompany you back to the room to clean up, and I'll go back for dinner in a while." ”

Tong Xinyan smiled and nodded, as if there was only Zhao Mingjin in her eyes, got up and walked hand in hand with him to her room.

Looking at the backs of Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan, Lin Wan shook his head and sighed, and deliberately said loudly: "Forget it, let's forgive them!

Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan heard Lin Wan's words, and both looked back at Lin Wan, but they were not angry, they just glanced at each other tenderly, and walked towards the main house as if no one was around.

Zhao Jing'er laughed "giggle", glanced at Zhao Mingxi and Zhao Mingyi playfully, and whispered mysteriously in Lin Wan's ear: "Wan'er, do you know why the eldest brother and sister-in-law want to stimulate us without scruples in front of us?"

Lin Wan was stunned, shook his head, and said, "Could it be that they did it on purpose?

Zhao Jing'er nodded solemnly, leaned into Lin Wan's ear again, and continued: "A few days ago, the third brother was very depressed and depressed. I also told my mother that I will not get married in this life, and I will go to Jiangnan Academy to be a teacher in the future, and I will never get married for the rest of my life. I was so scared that my mother couldn't eat or sleep, and I went to discuss with my aunt whether to invite Sister Biyun to persuade the third brother. However, the eldest aunt said that he just couldn't think about it for a while, and all he said was child's words. When he saw that his eldest brother and sister were married, in pairs, he wouldn't think like that. So, the eldest aunt gave the eldest brother and sister-in-law the task, so that the second brother, the third brother, and me were full of yearning for marriage. ”

Lin Wan listened to Zhao Jing'er's words, and then suddenly realized, no wonder Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan changed their normal behavior and showed their affection in such a high-profile manner, it turned out to be this reason!

Although Zhao Jing'er lowered her voice and spoke in Lin Wan's ear, she did not avoid Zhao Mingxi and Zhao Mingyi. Not only did they hear it all, but they didn't pretend they didn't. smiled and said, "However, don't say it, the eldest aunt's trick really works." In the past two days, the second brother has been running to Ma's house every day, and the third brother is no longer hiding in the room to study, even I look at the eldest brother and sister-in-law so affectionate, and I am envious and jealous. ”

Lin Wan immediately agreed, nodded and smiled: "Auntie's move is really ruthless!But, third cousin, what do you think now? You can't give up on Sister Biyun yet, right?"

Zhao Mingyi raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Wan, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he laughed at himself lightly: "Even if I don't give up, what can I do? Biyun's cousin is already about to get married, and she is dead set on her fiancé, can I still forcibly break them up and go to the wedding to rob them?"

Lin Wan was stunned and asked in surprise, "Third cousin, have you already confessed to Sister Biyun?"

Zhao Mingyi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I'm ashamed to say that for such a long time, it's all wishful thinking on my part. Biyun's cousin has always only regarded me as an elder brother, and she hasn't even noticed me too much. If I had explained my intentions to her earlier, maybe she would have paid more attention to me, and maybe there was some hope. But now, she only has Brother Wu in her heart, and when I go to confess to her, it's just boring for myself. Fortunately, I was not reckless, and everyone knew about it, otherwise I might have added to her annoyance and caused gossip. ”
