Chapter 4 Gestures of Affection

A tree, a grass, a wall. Just a simple, independent courtyard cut her off from the rest of the world.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xiaoyou smiled wordlessly, never thinking that he would come back one day. It's all like a dream, it's too real to believe. If it's just a dream, then the twelve years that have come and gone are a little too long?

I think of the days before when I was carefree and coquettish. reminds me of my brother's words: "Don't care about her anymore". Lin Xiaoyou's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, in her heart, the senior brother had never said a word to her so indifferently and ruthlessly. But now, in the face of the family who came to pick her up, he pushed her back without hesitation. Returning to this warm and cold home, everything before is erased. Is she just a burden after all?

In the days when I came back, I only saw the man called "Daddy" and his ladies on the day I came back, but there was no one of my own mothers. If she still misses this family a little, it is only because of her mother, because her mother is the only person she really loves her in this family. Now that I'm back, of course I'm desperate to see her.

But all this was not as she wished, from the moment she stepped into the door, those so-called family members looked at her with the complicated disdain. She felt that this home had no place for her as before. Just after the casual noise, it is arranged to this simple can not rest in the simple yard. But it doesn't matter, she didn't expect that there would be any glory and wealth waiting for her when she came back.

People are always changed by the environment, and in the days on the mountain, she can be carefree and willful, coquettish. However, here, in the face of a group of strange family members with ghosts in their hearts, she can only be careful to be her second miss. Because she had no intention of getting involved in the distractions of labor.

was picked up suddenly, and it shouldn't be something good waiting for her. She will come back, just because of her brother's sentence "I won't care about her anymore", this sentence is enough to make her chill and fear, afraid that the following words will be more cruel. I didn't dare to listen to it. There is a kind of misery of running away, will the senior brother still come to see her?

"Hey, forget it, Miss, if you come, you will be safe. It's useless to think too much. A woman dressed as a maid stepped out of the room and comforted.

"Well, what my sister said is that Huidu has already returned, so why do you want to do so much. Now I am no longer the little girl who wants to be protected, I should learn to walk the path I should take, even if I am alone, I must be brave and strong" Listening to the woman's comforting voice, Lin Xiaoyou cheered up and smiled and agreed.

Although she was snubbed after coming back, she didn't care whether she lived or died. Qianqian was the slave sent to take care of her food and daily life, and she was the only person she could talk to here. However, Lin Xiaoyou did not treat Qianqian as a current person, Qianqian is one year older than her, has a gentle and graceful personality, and is very easy to get along with. From the beginning, Lin Xiaoyou called her sister, but at first Qianqian disagreed, for fear of falling into other people's tongues, so she had to acquiesce after several unsuccessful corrections. After a few days, the two got along very well.

"Knock knock" A few knocks on the door came to mind.

"Miss, wait a minute, I'll take a look," Qianqian said as she went to open the door.

But seeing a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old outside, she looked at Qianqian, who opened the door, and called sweetly: "Sister Qianqian." ”

Qianqian couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Wu, why are you here." ”

"Oh, it's the master who asked me to invite the young lady to the living room!"

"Okay, you wait, I'll go tell Miss. As soon as Qianqian turned around, she saw that Lin Xiaoyou was already coming here.

"I see, let's go. Lin Xiaoyou said lightly. The yard was already small, and the girl's words were naturally heard by her clearly. After holding it for so many days, it made her suffocated, and now she can finally go out for a walk, and she doesn't want to miss it.

Walking out of the small courtyard, the scenery outside is bright in a blink of an eye, and the buildings and pavilions reflect each other. Compared with her own small courtyard, she is really cold.

Under the leadership of Xiao Wu, he walked through a corridor and turned several courtyards before walking outside the hall.

Turning around and stepping into the hall, Lin Xiaoyu looked around, a good lineup, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Lin Lanhai was sitting in the upper main seat, and Wu, who was in the main room, was sitting in the upper side. The other concubines sat on either side of the table below. Although there are not many people, each has his own heart, but the momentum is very strong.

Looking at Lin Xiaoyou who came in, Lin Lanhai put away his complicated eyes and asked with an amiable smile, "Xiaoyou, are you used to these days when you go home?"

"Well, that's good. Lin Xiaoyou returned vigilantly.

"Haha, that's good, a few days ago, my father knew that he had wronged you, and when you came back from all the way, he arranged for you to live at random, and I didn't have time to prepare anything. Now, my father has arranged for someone to clean up the courtyard of the Blue Grass House, you can move in today, see what is still missing, say it, and I will ask your aunt to help you buy it. ”

The sudden arrival of a good thing made Lin Xiaoyu even more uneasy, and his back was cold. How could he suddenly be so nice to her?

"Xiaoyu, how can you say that you are also the daughter of the Lin family, so you can't dress too shabby, otherwise people will think that we can't even afford a young lady in our dignified Shangshu Mansion. Isn't it smiling and generous to spread it," Wu Shi, who was sitting above, said.

As soon as the words came out, they caused the ridicule of several people sitting down.

"No need, it's good like this now!" Lin Xiaoyou didn't think about it and flatly refused.

"What?" everyone couldn't believe it, and in an instant everyone's eyes were focused on her alone, as if they wanted to see her through.

It was only a moment before the air became heavy.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Xiaoyou smiled simply: "Actually, Dad, you don't have to bother, I'm lazy, I don't like things that are too complicated, just be casual." ”

No merit, she doesn't know what other people's ideas are, where she dares to accept other people's kindness!

"Hehe, since Xiaoyou said so, then whatever you want, in short, this is your home, just open your mouth if you want anything. When you're bored, go out for a walk and don't stay in the house all day. ”

Listening to these words that seemed to be unmalicious, Lin Xiaoyou pretended to be calm: "Thank you, Dad!"

"Hehe, silly boy, thank you for what? It's all a family! Look, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and in a blink of an eye, I'm a big girl!" said the woman in yellow on the left, who was sitting on the left.

"Shut up, how can you speak," Wu scolded.

The woman in yellow didn't care about Wu's scolding at all, but smiled even more: "It's true that I don't have the right to speak, but it's not like this."

Before the words could be spoken, Lin Lanhai coughed lightly: "Shan'er, you have said a little too much today, don't go too far." ”

stopped Shan'er, turned to Lin Xiaoyou and said, "Okay, Xiaoyou is fine, you can step down!" Oh, by the way, go to Yunxinyuan to see your mother when you have time, she has always missed you. ”

"Yes" Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, her mother has always been her concern.
