On the second day, the Shao clan received news that the young lady who had just returned had prepared a car to go out again.

After greeting the old lady, the women of the family sat together and chatted, and she deliberately told the matter irrelevantly, in order to tell the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was really a little disdainful when she heard this.

She smiled and said, "Why are you still running out at three ends and two ends? How can we have such a child in our family, who is not out of the door and not stepping out of the door? You two are too used to her, right?"

Shao Shi smiled helplessly: "That's the case, but I can't tell Miss, after all, Miss has just come to Beijing for a short time, and it is always difficult to stop her if she wants to see the world." ”

"Hey, what's so good about seeing the world in a capital?" The eldest lady looked indifferent: "Just those few streets, there are only a few shops, and they are all annoying." ”

It's as if she doesn't see anything.

Shao Shi took a sip of tea and said with a light smile: "Sister-in-law naturally doesn't care, is Miss a child after all?" ”

The eldest lady suddenly became serious when she heard this, she poked her head and whispered: "She is sixteen, even if she is mute, she should be an adult, how can there be a young lady who runs out all day long, I know the difficulty of being a stepmother, but this family is taken care of by you, you can't ignore it, especially if you grew up in the countryside, you haven't seen much of the world, there are many prodigals in the capital, and we are embarrassed by others." What should be managed still has to be managed. ”

Shao Shi's face was very embarrassed: "I'd better discuss it with my mother." ”

"Okay. The eldest lady thought for a while: "It's not good for you to go and say, tell the old lady." I can't cure her anymore. ”

The two of them were talking, and the child who was kicking the shuttlecock at the door suddenly started to laugh.

"It's so cute. ”

"Whose puppy is this? ”

"It's the first time I've seen a dog dressed. ”

The two men looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

Shao Shi said: "Go and see." ”

The two of them stepped out of the door, and several young ladies and young masters in the courtyard were surrounding something.

"What are you looking at?" Shao Shi walked behind the children, and looked into the circle, it was a flowery dog, wearing a pink satin small armor.

Shao Shi's eyes were cold: "Who did it?"

Isn't this scolding her Xiaoyu for being a dog?

Lin Xiaoyu was also among several people, and when she saw her mother asking, she bit her lip.

"Mother, I don't know who scolded me. ”

"There's still one over there. "At this time, the young master of the Lin family was born to the eldest lady. Pointing to a ginkgo biloba at the gate of the courtyard, he said.

Everyone's eyes are on. It wasn't one, five or six, and they were all dressed in colorful clothes.

Miss Lin Jiasan rolled her eyes and whispered in Lin Xiaoyu's ear: "How do I look at the embroidery on that dog." It's like your clothes. Why don't you wear it. Honor the dogs?" sneered.

The two are a little at odds on weekdays, and when Lin Xiaoyu heard that the third sister was sarcastic about her, she immediately cried angrily.

Covering his face, he ran to his yard.

Shao Shi felt sorry for his daughter. Explain to the eldest lady and chase after her subordinates.

As soon as the two of them combined, this thing was not done by someone else, but the little mute who had returned home not long ago.

Lin Xiaoyu was crying on the bed so sadly, Shao Shi said: "Xiaoyu, don't cry first, she insulted you so much, she just didn't take our mother and mother in her eyes, you have to let your father know about this." ”

Lin Xiaoyu sat up and looked at her mother with teary eyes: "But my mother didn't say that she was dumb, why did she have so many bad intentions? ”

Shao Shi summed it up in his heart: "It seems that the maid next to her is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she has to think of a way." ”

What to do, Lin Xiaoyu didn't ask, she looked at her mother's face, and the anger from her grievances went straight to her brows.

In the evening, Lin Shize went out and returned, and Lin Xiaoyu immediately ran to his father's study as soon as he got the news.

knocked on the door and saw a bright little bikini on her father's table, and her father was looking at her with unhappy eyes, Lin Xiaoyu immediately burst into tears.

"Father. She knelt down opposite her father, bowed her head and whispered, "Father, if a person does something wrong with good intentions, and this wrong thing hurts others, what should that person do?"

Lin Shize heard that Lin Xiaoyu gave Lin Xiaojue clothes, and was about to question her, when he saw that his daughter was well-behaved and soft, and he had something to say, he gradually laughed angrily, and said in a faint voice: "It depends on what she does, and what kind of harm she has caused to others." ”

Lin Xiaoyu raised his hand and took the small bijia on the table in his hand to show his father.

"Actually, these materials are my clothes. She said aggrievedly: "Yesterday, I took out all the clothes I liked, thinking that my sister had just come here, and there were not a few sets of clothes before, so I packed them all and sent them to my sister." Seeing that her father's face was uncertain, she hurriedly explained: "They are all clothes that I like very much, and the precious materials are also cut by the master, and they are usually put in the box and reluctant to wear, and my father doesn't often tell me that I should not do to others what I would not do to others, so I always give my sister the clothes I like." But ......" she choked up a little when she said this: "But my sister seems to be unhappy, she cut all her clothes, and still wears them on dogs." ”

"Shouldn't she do this?" Lin Shize's face was cold: "Our Lin family is all backbone, and there is nothing wrong with your sister not wanting your help." ”

Lin Xiaoyu listened to her father's words, tears were like beads with broken threads, and she said in her heart: "Fortunately, I didn't listen to my mother that the dumb person is not, and my father doesn't seem to be helping her." ”

She cried: "Father really misunderstood the child, and the child only thought today that my sister might be angry, and she was very happy when I sent it, but who knew that she was unhappy in her heart, if she told me at the time, I apologized to her on the spot, how could I make her unhappy? ”

She carefully placed Bijia on the table: "There are still so many people outside who can't eat and can't dress warmly, but our family dresses dogs, if this news spreads, I'm afraid my father's reputation will be affected." ”

's daughter is so knowledgeable, which Lin Shize didn't expect.

He smiled with satisfaction: "Forget it." Don't blame yourself, your sister is indeed a bit too much in this matter, and I didn't expect her to be so eager to repay her. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoyu could clearly feel that her father's eyes were a little distracted, and when she thought about it, her father must have thought of the mute mother, and when she heard her mother, she was also a very stingy master.

Her gaze was a little evasive.

Lin Shize continued: "But she grew up outside and read few books, and her father also set her a family affair. She didn't have much time to spend at home. It's okay, don't mess with her. ”

In the end, it was actually biased towards the mute.

Lin Xiaoyu lowered her eyebrows and agreed.

Lin Shize suddenly blamed himself, his eldest daughter has not been around since Zhou's death, he pinned all his hopes for his daughter on Xiaoyu, and other people said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. He asked his husband to teach his daughter piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The daughter has always been dignified and sensible. He has always held his daughter in the palm of his hand, but now he blames his younger daughter because of his eldest daughter who has just come back for a few days.

Did he go too far?

Lin Shize sighed in his heart and found a piece of inkstone: "Didn't you always want a good inkstone? The emperor gave it, you can take it. ”

Lin Xiaoyu happily took it: "Thank you, father." ”

Lin Shize felt even more guilty.

"If the clothes are gone, go tell your mother, and make a few new sets, this kind of thing is not impossible to do in the future, you have to divide people, people who have a heart will be grateful to Dade when they get your things, and some people will not, you have to distinguish clearly, don't give favor to desire. ”

Obviously dumb and don't know how to lift.

Lin Xiaoyu was very teachable and agreed: "The child knows." ”

"Step aside, I'm still busy with politics. ”

Lin Xiaoyu obediently walked out of his father's room.

As soon as she came out, she looked back and saw that there was no one around.

She hurriedly called the maid: "Go find your mother." ”

The three of them went east and came to the courtyard of the Shao Shi clan.

"Mother. ”

As soon as Lin Xiaoyu entered the door, she first called her mother.

Shao Shi was sitting and waiting for her, asked her to come and sit, and then sent everyone out.

When the room was silent and only two people were left breathing, Shao Shi hurriedly asked, "What did your father say?"

Lin Xiaoyu casually threw the inkstone on the table.

"Since I was a child, unless it was because of my homework, my father has never been cold to me, but today he counted me down for that dumb person. ”

"Did he scold you?" said Shao Shi with hatred.

Lin Xiaoyu nodded: "Mother, you have been with your father for so long, do you know what your father is thinking?"

Shao Shi's eyes were a little dazed, she claimed to be smart, but she couldn't figure out her husband's thoughts.

He has more respect for her, but not enough pity, once she thought he was such a cold person, but looking at his attitude towards mute, could it be that he always had Zhou Anbao in his heart?

Shao Shi was taken aback by his own thoughts.

"Your father is an ambitious man, and over the years he has devoted all his energy to the success of the children of the clan, and he wants to support a family to come out. ”

In the name of the family? What's the point?

Lin Xiaoyu didn't understand the thoughts of adults, she pouted and said, "Anyway, I'm so angry, when will she get married? ”

Shao Shi said: "It's almost over, Young Master Chen is afraid that it won't be half a month, and he has been discussing and making a decision in the past few days, but your father has been dragging it out." ”

Lin Xiaoyu snorted: "Father is afraid that she will suffer, a dumb person, who can't say anything if she marries, what is there to take Qiao." ”

Shao Shi also smiled: "This is true, if it weren't for Chen Gongzi's vicious illness, even if it was the turn of eight lifetimes, it would not be her turn, when my mother went to the banquet, I was fortunate to see Chen Gongzi once, it was really a talent, it's a pity." ”

"More handsome than my father?" Lin Xiaoyu didn't believe it.

Shao Shi said: "Not only that, but the knowledge is also quite good, your father said that Chen Gongzi is the material of the champion." ”

My father took the Tanhua exam.

Lin Xiaoyu inexplicably admired the sick seedling.

According to what his mother said, Lin Xiaojue has really accumulated eight lifetimes of great virtue to marry him. ”

Shao Shi smiled disdainfully: "The dumb life is good." ”

The mother and daughter were talking in private conversations, and there was a knock at the door.

Lin Xiaoyu looked at her mother: "It's so late, who?"

Shao Shi stood up, glanced back at his daughter, and whispered: "It's the person over there, this dumb person goes out twice in three days, and she went to Qianmen Street last time, I don't know if she has any conspiracy, you have to keep an eye on it." ”

That's right, be careful to give up the 10,000-year-old ship.

Lin Xiaoyu raised her eyes and asked, "But she is mute, what do you know?"

"I'm most afraid of the conspiracy of the third wife, that woman has been blocking your mother all her life. I'll go out and have a look first. Changing the subject, Shao Shi made a quiet gesture to his daughter and went to open the door.

When the sweeping lady saw that the lady came to open the door in person, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"What's wrong?"

The sweeping lady looked like she couldn't bear to mention it.

Shao Shi immediately understood that it was related to Lin Shize, and he was unhappy in his heart, and scolded in a low voice: "Say it quickly." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "The second master has gone to the Southern Wilderness Courtyard." ”

"Finally going to meet someone?" It's only been four days since the person came back, and he couldn't help it.

"No, no, no. Seeing that Mrs. had misunderstood, the mother-in-law was even more anxious to explain.

"The second master has been standing at the door, not at the door, in the corner, the slave and maid see that he wants to see him and refuses to call the door for some reason. ”

It's more timid lovesickness near home.

Shao Shi's fingernails were embedded in the flesh, and he was panting in distress.

"Look again. ”

"Hey. The woman didn't dare to stay any longer, so she took the order and hurried away with her calves bent.

Lin Shize stood at the corner of the eldest daughter's courtyard gate, there was no corner gate, and he didn't leave until the middle of the moon.

On Monday, he sneakily ran to Lin Xiaojue's side to report the news that the young lady had stared at herself.

"Miss, why didn't the second master come in. ”

Lin Xiaojue still kept plowing, so naturally he didn't raise his head.

"I'll let you carry ......"

"Miss, can we not mention this?"

Before Lin Xiaojue could ask her if she had memorized all the medicinal herbs, she interrupted Miss on Monday very interestingly.

Lin Xiaojue reluctantly put down the pen: "Look at me stammering, don't you speak slowly?"

Monday grinned: "Absolutely not, I dare to be presumptuous because I see that the young lady is good." ”

Lin Xiaojue couldn't take her, so she called Lingnan: "Pull it down and carry it together." ”

Ling Nan couldn't help laughing: "Let you owe, it's okay now, don't sleep tonight if you can't carry it." ”

Monday looked at Miss with an aggrieved face and refused to leave.

Lin Xiaojue sighed again.

"If you, after abandoning your wife, how many years have passed, who else will you see?"

Is it faceless? On Monday, she listened to Miss pay attention to her, and was busy lying on the table, looking at Miss very seriously.

"Then does the lord care about Miss or not?"

"What do you think?" Lin Xiaojue asked rhetorically.

Monday's frown is hard to understand.

"If you say you care, then why let the young lady suffer outside, ignore it for more than ten years, and ignore it. If it is said that concern means affection for his wife, why should he stop his wife and remarry if he is affectionate?

"Nature is pleasant. Lin Xiaojue said with a smile: "If people are uncomfortable, they will change, and when you have pain but don't change, it means that it is not so painful." ”

"What the hell does the second master think? "Monday doesn't understand these big truths of Miss at all.

Lin Xiaojue looked at Lingnan with a smile: "What do you say?"

Ling Nan thought about it and smiled: "I can't say it, Miss don't laugh at me." ”

Lin Xiaojue nodded solemnly.

Ling Nan said: "Is there something in the second master's heart that is more important than Mrs. and Miss?"

Lin Xiaojue nodded again: "Fame and fortune, it's a torment." (To be continued......)
