Chapter 40

Let's say that Xiao Tang and Ling Jingshen went out of Xingze Building one after the other, and after walking for a while, Ling Jingshen looked at Xiao Tang and smiled as if he had something inside.

Don Jr. asked, "What do you mean by staring at me like this?"

Ling Jingshen said, "I want to ask you, what do you mean?"

Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean to greet Ying Lanfeng, what do you mean?"

Ling Jingshen smiled lightly: "Greetings are nothing special, it's just the first time I've seen you go to 'greet' with someone so far, and you still have a good chat with a child for no reason, when did you become so patient with the child?"

Xiao Tang also laughed: "Whoever asked you to follow, you can go by yourself, Bai has shown you for a long time, but you provoked a thorn." ”

Ling Jingshen said: "I want to leave, but I just ate you again, wouldn't it seem unkind to leave immediately? ”

Don laughed and threw a punch on his shoulder before moving forward again.

As he walked, he saw that the market was full of people, and there were some small children, either following the adults closely, looking around curiously and timidly, or laughing and playing at the door of the shop, happy and carefree.

Xiao Tang looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Depth of field, what do you think of that kid?"

Ling Jingshen was holding his hands, his eyes looking around at some delicious and fun things, he didn't expect him to ask like this, he didn't understand what he meant, so he said, "What's the matter? It's just a hairy child...... Oh, don't you mean his roots? Indeed, as you say, he is a seedling of martial arts, and if he is instructed, he will be a material that can be made. ”

Xiao Tang shook his head and said, "I don't mean this, I mean...... Do you think this kid ......?" he thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with any words.

Ling Jingshen was so anxious that he urged with a smile: "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Tang sighed, and couldn't help but remember the situation when he saw Ying Huaizhen on the streets of Qizhou, the child was held by a kidnapper, although she was in danger, but her eyes were calm and calm, without any panic and immaturity......

Xiao Tang said: "I want to ask, do you have ...... Have you ever seen such a strange old child? That is...... When you face her, it's like you're not facing a child?"

Suddenly remembered that in Taizhou County, Ying Huaizhen shouted at Zhang Zhen, "I'm just afraid that something will happen to you", that kind of situation, thinking of the child's silent crying, my heart trembled as before.

However, Xiao Tang said it, and he also laughed, what he said was a little vague, and he felt that he didn't explain it, and Ling Jingshen might not understand.

Unexpectedly, Ling Jingshen nodded, and said with deep feeling: "I understood if you said it earlier...... Naturally, I've seen such a child, isn't this just Xiao Jue?"

When Xiao Tang heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "I asked the wrong person here, and I forgot about your brother." ”

Ling Jingshen was still holding his hands, so he laughed and said, "What I said is right, right? My younger brother, but even I dare not underestimate it, you have also seen it, he is only eight years old, but the style of his whole body, Su Rili's demeanor and expression, it doesn't look like my younger brother, I want to rush him to call my brother." ”

Xiao Tang laughed even more, eager to beat Ling Jingshen, and said, "Mouth! This kind of thing can also be said! But you have to change this hippie smiley face, the temperament of the two of you brothers is indeed a loss." ”

Ling Jingshen chirped: "If I am as cold as Xiao Jue, how can I get along with you so well?

Xiao Tang nodded yes, the two walked along, Ling Jingshen saw the aroma of the new osmanthus cake next to him, so he bought some, Xiao Tang thought he wanted to eat it himself, but Ling Jingshen said: "I'll bring some back to Xiao Jue to eat, but he doesn't like to eat outside things...... It's very picky, and the whole person has lost a little weight recently. ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he sighed and said, "Your eldest brother is a father, and he is busy and busy...... It's been hard work in the past few years. ”

Ling Jingshen smiled and said: "What's the hard work? Xiao Jue is so worry-free, and he doesn't cry like other children, let alone ask me for anything or pester me, I blame him for being too well-behaved, and I wish he was more playful and noisy like an ignorant child." ”

Xiao Tang understood what he meant, especially when he thought of Ying Huaizhen, he had a faint sense of concern......

Ling Jingshen looked at him again and said, "By the way, you just asked me if I have ever seen a child like Xiao Jue, what do you mean, could it be that you have also seen other children like this?"

When Xiao Tang heard him ask, he couldn't help but say, "But isn't it? I've never seen anything so bizarre." ”

Ling Jingshen hurriedly asked who it was, and when Xiao Tang saw that he was curious, he smiled and said, "Haven't you seen her father and uncle just now......?"

When Ling Jingshen heard this, he said, "It turns out that you specially invited Imperial Doctor Su to see Miss Ying's second miss who labored?"

Xiao Tang frowned and sighed: "Why is it that a little thing is so troublesome? I just saw that she was really uncomfortable, so I thought about asking Imperial Doctor Su to take a look, after all, he is an old and reliable, better than those quacks who deceive people at every turn, but now I think about it, it is abrupt." ”

Ling Jingshen didn't care, raised his eyebrows and said: "What kind of abruptness is this, a child's illness can be big or small, what's wrong with being cautious? ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he smiled again: "I just love to be with you, and in your mouth, it seems that there has never been any big deal." ”

Ling Jingshen also laughed and said, "Do you know how good I am......?" Next time we change places to eat, okay? It's inevitable that we will be a little tired of eating Xingzelou all the time. ”

Xiao Tang looked at the sky helplessly, and sighed: "These are three sentences that do not deviate from the topic, could it be that you only harmed the cat who died of hunger in your previous life?"

Ling Jingshen stretched out his tongue and rolled it around, and suddenly said: "You said cats, then next time we will go to Baiguanlou to eat fresh fish, I heard that the red and white fresh and spicy fish soup there is the best! It is refreshing and nourishing......

Xiao Tang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your harath is going to flow out, and take it away!

Ling Jingshen and Xiao Tang parted at the fork in the road and went home on their own.

When he returned to the house, Ling Jingshen naturally went to see his mother first, but before he entered the door, the maid at the door, Cailian, stopped him first, pulled him to the side, and whispered: "Today, the second aunt and grandmother came again and talked to Mrs. for a long time...... Most of the time I mentioned that incident again, I should pay attention to it. ”

Ling Jingshen nodded and smiled at her, Cai Lian walked to the door, and said in a flash, "The eldest young master has come to greet his wife." With a smile, Ling Jingshen stepped inside.

Mrs. Ling was chanting the scriptures, carrying a string of rosewood beads in her hand, flipping through the scriptures in one hand, and when she saw him coming in, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at it, but she still didn't stop.

Ling Jingshen didn't dare to make a sound, just stood and waited, and after a while, Mrs. Ling asked lightly, "Are you back?" ”

Ling Jingshen said: "I met Tang San Gongzi and had a meal with him. ”

Mrs. Ling glanced at him and said, "You are also older, it is time to start a family and start a business and spread the branches and leaves of our mansion, if you marry someone earlier, the mansion will not be so deserted, and you will not be out all day long." ”

Ling Jingshen lowered his eyes and only said, "Mother said yes." ”

Mrs. Ling smiled coldly and said, "What you said on the surface is what I said, why don't you be happy in your heart, otherwise I said earlier that your second aunt's family is good Hongfang, why do you always push back?"

Ling Jingshen had to bow his head and remain silent, Mrs. Ling's face was unhappy, so she turned her head away and said, "Okay, you go out, you don't have to be coy here." ”

When Ling Jingshen heard this, he replied, "My son doesn't dare." He slowly retreated.

Ling Jingshen went out of the door, and the maid Cailian was standing by the door, covering her mouth and smiling.

Ling Jingshen also smiled bitterly, and Cai Lian whispered: "What I said is right, what do you want to thank me?"

Ling Jingshen glanced at the room, didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, and suddenly held Cailian's hand, Cailian was startled, and was busy withdrawing, Ling Jingshen looked at her eyes, and his fingers swiped lightly in her palm, and then let go.

Cailian's face was crimson, and she didn't dare to make a sound, but she wasn't annoyed. Ling Jingshen smiled at her before he whispered, "I'll go." Sure enough, he left.

Cai Lian watched him go away from behind, only to feel weak and weak, so she could only lean against the wall and exhale softly.

Ling Jingshen went straight to the study, and when he went to the door, he saw that Ling Jue was inside, holding a book and reading hard, Ling Jingshen laughed and said, "Don't always read a book, you will break your eyes." ”

Ling Jue didn't look up, carefully read the line of words, then put down the scroll, and said: "Brother came back late today, it's good, the second aunt was here before, if you come back, you will definitely be noisy by her again." ”

Ling Jingshen put the bag of osmanthus cake on the table and said, "Mother Fang Cai has already told me. ”

Ling Jue raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, I told you again? You don't dare to talk to your mother, aren't you angry again? ”

When Ling Jingshen heard this, he remembered what he had talked about with Xiao Tang on the road...... He laughed twice and said, "You know that your mother loves you, so you should want to make her happy, why do you want to block her instead?"

Ling Jue said: "This is not right, you should always understand, no matter how much I add to the blockage, it can't be regarded as a blockage for her, no matter how much you think about making her happy, she still thinks of it as a blockage in her heart!"

Ling Jingshen was speechless, so he had to say: "I bought some osmanthus cakes, you can just eat two pieces, and I have lost weight recently, probably because I studied too hard...... You're still young, and you're not in a hurry to go to the scientific expedition, so why do you have to work so hard?"

Ling Jue said: "You know that I don't like to eat these sweet and greasy things, why spend money indiscriminately? I just know that I am still a shallow learner, so I can be tight for a moment, and I always have to learn more things...... If I don't know how to work harder, won't I become the kind of stupid worm that sucks the liver and sucks the marrow and only eats my brother?"

It turns out that Ling Jingshen and Ling Jue are not born to the same mother, now Mrs. Ling is Ling Jue's biological mother, but Ling Jingshen is the child of a concubine of Marquis Jinning, after the old marquis went, the concubine also died, Ling Jue was only four years old at that time, thanks to Ling Jingshen's brotherhood and friendship, he took care of him in many ways, but Mrs. Ling always didn't treat him very much, but just cherished Ling Jue meticulously, but Ling Jue knew Ling Jingshen's heart, and he was very protective of his cousin since he was a child.

Ling Jingshen heard Ling Jue say these words again, his heart was moved, and he sighed, Ling Jue saw that he didn't speak, but regretted that he had said too much, so he walked to the table, opened the osmanthus cake, took a slice and ate it, and pretended to say, "It's not bad...... My brother also came to eat a piece. ”

Seeing this, Ling Jingshen smiled and said, "If you don't like to eat, don't force it, put it down." ”

Ling Jue frowned and put it down, took another sip of tea, and said, "It's really sweet and greasy." As he spoke, he pursed his lips slightly, and at this moment, he finally revealed the expression and posture of a child.

Ling Jingshen couldn't help laughing, and remembered Xiao Tang's words again, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Jue, on the birthday of the old lady of the Gongfu, you went to the backyard with the little son of the Guo family, and you can see the second lady in the mansion?"

Ling Jue asked casually, "Which second miss?"

Ling Jingshen said: "That's it...... Later, your brother Tang gave the one who hired the imperial doctor?"

Ling Jue raised his head at this time, said "ah", and said, "It turned out to be that little girl, I have seen it." ”

Ling Jingshen hurriedly asked, "Really, what do you think of that child?"

Ling Jue frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?"

Ling Jingshen said: "That's it...... Isn't it any different from other children?"

Ling Jue thought for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "That little girl is indeed a little different. ”

Ling Jingshen became more and more curious, and asked again, "What's the difference?"

Ling Jue snorted and said, "It's dirtier than other children, and it spit on me!"

Ling Jingshen was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "You...... It's strange that you didn't wear a coat when you came back that day, could it be ......"

Ling Jue gritted his teeth and said: "It's all stained for her, so naturally she should throw it away, is she still wearing it......?" I love that dress so much. ”

Ling Jingshen couldn't help laughing, Ling Jue couldn't help but squint at him, and asked, "Are you still laughing, why did you suddenly ask about that hateful little girl?"

Ling Jingshen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "It's nothing, just ask." ”

Let's say that Ying Lanfeng accompanied Li Xing and Li Huo back to the house, and went straight into the back house, but when he entered the courtyard, he pounced, and Li Xianshu and Ying Huaizhen were not there.

Ying Lanfeng hurriedly called Jixiang to look for it, and after a while, Ying Huaizhen came back first, and Li Huo couldn't wait at the door over there, and when he saw her figure appear, he immediately pounced and shouted: "Sister Huaizhen!"

The two little reunions, happy, and can't help themselves.

Ying Huaizhen saw that Li Huobi seemed to have grown much taller when he saw him before, and he was not as thin as before, so he was comforted in his heart, and the two of them held hands and went to see Li Xing.

Li Xing saw that his nephew's daughter had been born so neatly and well, and he liked it even more, so he asked questions for a while, but he didn't care why Li Xianshu didn't come back.

Or Ying Lanfeng asked Ji Xiangdao: "Why didn't grandma come back?

Ji Xiang looked at it for a while, then pulled him to the side, and then said: "I said that my uncle is here, but now the second grandmother can't get rid of it...... There's a commotion over there!"

Ying Lanfeng was startled and hurriedly asked
