Chapter 3 Doubts I

"Hey! Poor child. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mrs. Lin saw the cute appearance of the child, and sighed helplessly in her heart. Village Chief Lin and Aunt Zhang secretly looked at Mrs. Lin's every move, and found that the love in Mrs. Lin's eyes was beyond words. At this time, Village Chief Lin glanced at Aunt Zhang, who thought for a moment in her heart, gritted her teeth, and spoke.

"Mrs. Lin, I don't know if I should say a sentence or not, if I offend Mrs., please don't blame Mrs. ......"

"What words? Tell me about it? Mrs. Lin looked at Aunt Zhang suspiciously, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"In fact, for taking care of this child, we are not the best candidates, as the child grows up day by day, it will definitely need to be cultivated in the future, but our lord and wife are also old, with more than enough heart and less power, it is said that Mrs. is choosing a personal scholar for the second lady who has just been born, so... The two of us thought that if this kid could enter the Lin Mansion..."Aunt Zhang said this, her face was embarrassed, but she didn't continue.

"Go on, I won't blame you!" Mrs. Lin's face was expressionless, and she still said slowly in a voice that could not hear joy and anger.

"I heard that Mrs. is a bodhisattva and has always been generous to others, so our village is willing to dedicate this child to Mrs.! If Madame is willing to bring him back to the family to cultivate, he is an orphan with a clean background, and the age difference between him and the second lady is not much, as a personal scholar is the most reliable, when he is sensible in the future, he will definitely be grateful to Madame, maybe he can become a big help to Madame......" Aunt Zhang said stubbornly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Alright! I know! When Mrs. Lin heard this, she immediately understood what Aunt Zhang meant, and interrupted Aunt Zhang's words.

"I don't say whether I can be a helper, even for the sake of your lobbying for him, I don't agree, but it seems that I have no pity. You're right, it's true that the people who are invited from outside are not as reliable as the people who have lived in the house since childhood. Never mind! Let's train a scholar for the second lady! Mrs. Ben will take him as her son! Let's make a good fate! I wonder if Village Chief Lin is willing? Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at Village Chief Lin, and still asked in a voice that could not be heard with joy or anger.

"Madame is kind-hearted, this child can get Madame's mercy and be accepted as a righteous son, it is a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life, I replace this child and his missing parents, Mrs. Xie's grace to take in!" Village Chief Lin bowed his hand and bowed for a long time, but at this time, Village Chief Lin muttered in his heart, neither he nor Aunt Zhang expected Mrs. Lin to agree so happily. Could it be that Madame had the idea of adopting him, but it was difficult to speak? Or is there another reason? The two of them speculated wildly in their hearts, but it was not revealed on their faces.

"It's all right, get up! Come in, Yu'er! After a while, I will go with Aunt Zhang to pack up the child's things, and we will go on the road together tomorrow, so as not to delay, and return to the house to hand over the child to the second lady's wet nurse! ”

"Yes! Madam! Yu'er came to Madame's side and replied with a suspicious face. After Yu'er picked up the child, Mrs. Lin did not stop at the village chief's house, but under the guidance of the village chief Lin, she returned to the carriage and drove in the direction of Cuiyunxuan.

At night, in Cuiyun Xuan, Mrs. Lin sat at the square table, Yu'er was a little absent-mindedly adding water to Mrs. Lin's teacup, looking like she wanted to say something, Mrs. Lin picked up the teacup and tasted a sip of tea, and asked casually.

"Yu'er, if you have anything to say, you and Xiang'er have been my personal maids for so many years, and I haven't hidden much from the two of you, madam."

"Why did Madame take in that orphan? As far as I know, didn't the housekeeper in the house say that he had already appointed a candidate to serve the second lady? Madam, not only did she want to take in this orphan, but she actually recognized him as her righteous son and brought him back to the Lin Mansion to be a scholar for the second lady? Although this child is one year older than Miss Two, he is relatively similar in age and can be Miss Two's playmate. But you agreed so quickly, didn't you wonder if there was anything else hidden in it? Yu'er asked with a puzzled face.

Mrs. Lin put the teacup on the table, picked up the pair of broken mandarin ducks, and said slowly with a complicated expression.

"Yu'er, I know everything you said, do you think I didn't doubt the words of Village Chief Lin and Aunt Zhang? All this that happened today, in my opinion, should have been arranged by Village Chief Lin. Although I don't know what the purpose of Village Chief Lin's move is, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him wanting me to take the child away. If I hadn't agreed to them, I guess they would have thought of other ways for me to take this child back to the house to raise. Instead of being so vain and wronged, why don't I happily promise them to see what kind of medicine they buy in the gourd? As for what Village Chief Lin said about the situation of the child's parents, is it true? That's hard to say, and it seems to me that it's also a half-truth. After hearing this, Yu'er and Xiang'er couldn't help but be even more worried.

Before the two of them could speak, Mrs. Lin continued with a solemn face: "Yu'er Xiang'er, Madam, I did this, the result of careful consideration at that time, as for the reasons, there are two reasons. The first reason is that in order to find a trustworthy scholar for the second lady, he will be a guard for the young lady, which is not false at all! An orphan is indeed no threat to us now, and we will have the opportunity to find out the details of this child when we return home. However, when I came back, I had secretly instructed Yiyong to send people to the Yongzhou government to inquire about all kinds of news about the child's parents, and asked Yiyong to send people to monitor the movements of Village Chief Lin. Although, now we haven't found anything suspicious for the time being, but if there is a problem, sooner or later they will show their feet, and the next thing is to wait for Yiyong to send the news back, and naturally know whether what Village Chief Lin said is true or false. And the second reason is related to the Yuan Heavenly Master who visited Lost Forest City half a year ago. ”

"Yuan Heavenly Master? You mean that mysterious cultivator in Lost Forest City? It is said that this master is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and is good at divination. Could it be that Yuan Tianshi has calculated that Madame will take in an orphan? Yu'er asked in surprise when she heard this.

"Half a year ago, I traveled with my husband on Hualin Mountain in the Lost Forest City, and I happened to meet Yuan Tianshi to preach in the mountain temple, and I was also fortunate to be in the same room as Yuan Tianshi. While tasting tea, I asked Master Yuan Tianshi to calculate a hexagram for me. Yuan Tianshi shirked at first, but then saw that I was sincere, and the Japanese Heavenly Master was in a good mood, so he reluctantly agreed to calculate a hexagram for me. After that, the Celestial Master and I avoided the others and went to the backyard hut. However, when the calculation was finished, Yuan Tianshi took a look at the hexagram, and the expression on his face immediately became suspicious. At the same time, his fingers pinched and muttered in a low voice. After a moment, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes again, and his face became cloudy. After a long time, Yuan Tianshi breathed a sigh of relief, told me the results of the hexagram, and left immediately after instructing me to say two words. ”

"That lady, what did Yuan Tianshi say?"

Yu'er asked curiously. Mrs. Lin looked at Yu'er, sighed and said, "It's okay to tell you!" Mrs. Lin's eyes raised slightly, recalling the scene when she and Yuan Tianshi were in the retreat. At that time, Yuan Tianshi and Mrs. Lin were in the same room, but Yuan Tianshi was helpless, sighed and looked at Mrs. Lin meaningfully and said: "The old man knows very limited things in terms of the hexagrams calculated by Mrs. today. But the hexagram calculated for Mrs. today is very strange. It's a shame to say that Madame's hexagram shows a dilemma, and the predicament shows that within a year, Madame will make a choice that is related to the life and death of the Lin family. And the choice of the lady determines the fate of the Lin family in the future, and the display of the hexagram ends here. And after the old man divined the hexagram just now, he used the technique of phase qi to calculate the solution to the situation, only three vague words, good fate! In addition, there is no hint, and I don't know when, where, or under what circumstances the decision will affect the fate of Mrs. and even the Lin family, it seems that Mrs. Hexagram dilemma is not something that ordinary immortal cultivators such as me can get a glimpse of, the old man is not deep, his ability is limited, and he hopes that Mrs. Lin will not blame him for his rash move! Today's events, please don't easily disclose them to outsiders. After all, the technique of phase qi and divination of future hexagrams are contrary to the way of heaven, and such a strange hexagram of Madame is extremely variable, and Madame's every move may change the trajectory of the future Dao of Heaven. Based on the old man's experience, Mrs. should not care too much, try to go with the flow, and make more good connections. In addition, I also ask my wife not to mention today's events to anyone as much as possible. As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. ”

Then the Yuan Heavenly Master turned around and walked away, and I wanted to get up to send him off, but the Heavenly Master had already disappeared. After listening to Mrs. Lin's story, Yu'er's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, and then Mrs. Lin turned around and took Yu'er's hand and said solemnly: "Yu'er, you have been with me for so many years, and I have never treated you as an outsider. What I said today, apart from the Lin family master and me, only you know about it, and you should know how to do it without me saying anything......"

Looking at the lady with a serious face, Yu'er also knew the stakes, and immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Madame, don't worry, Yu'er has her own measure." It's no wonder that after Mrs. returned to the house half a year ago, Mrs. began to do all kinds of good deeds and make good connections, and this time she accepted this child as a scholar so easily, and it was also for this reason! Yu'er suddenly realized.

"Indeed, Master Yuan's Xiangqi technique and hexagram are famous, and it is said that he has never made a mistake. But even the Yuan Heavenly Master can't figure out what my future holds, so can I not worry? It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Therefore, since then, Mrs. Ben has been following what the Heavenly Master said, and making good connections, hoping to solve the dilemma of this hexagram and develop in a good direction. Compared to the uncertain future, the unknown is the most terrifying! Mrs. Lin sighed and said with a wry smile.

"That's... Madame just does this, there must be a road in front of the mountain, Mrs. instead of lamenting all day long, it is better to go with the flow and do her best as Yuan Tianshi said. Maybe you can really get out of the predicament and turn evil into good fortune! Yu'er said cautiously.

"It's still Yu'er who is sensible, but it's Madame, I care too much. The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Okay, Yu'er, let's rest early, we're going back to Lin's house tomorrow, let's wash and change clothes! Mrs. Lin touched Yu'er's head and said with a pleasant face.

"Yes, ma'am!" Yu'er smiled and turned around and walked into the house, brought out hot water, and waited for her wife to wash.
