Chapter 155: Mother Zhou's Pain is helpless

readx;? Zhao Jingyi was blasted out by Lin Xi that day, and he didn't even take a bite of lunch, and went back with regret and lust on his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the lamp was in charge, Zhou's mother took over the work of Tuan Tuan, unmandated Lin Xi's hair, changed her bedclothes, and waited for washing and going to bed to rest just like she did when she was a child, but she didn't have the nagging of the past, and she looked like he was also talking and stopping, looking full of worries.

Combined with the matter of the study, Lin Xi also guessed a rough idea, but Zhou's mother didn't mention it, and he didn't want to say more.

The summer has passed, the weather is gradually getting cooler, Zhou's mother covered Lin Xi with a thin quilt, raised her hand and slowly put down the tent, looking at Lin Xi who closed her eyes and recuperated, she finally couldn't help but say: "The days go by so fast, it will be the New Year in a few months, think about the young master will be twenty next year, but he will reach the crown." ”

Lin Xi opened his eyes and smiled shallowly, "It's only been five years since I came to Beijing, but I feel like it's been a long time." ”

"Yes, the young master is old and can afford to support the Lin family's portal, so capable old man and lady will feel relieved to have a spirit in the sky, the slave is really happy to think about it. ”

When the Lin family in Huaizhou was just torn apart, that dark day, no matter who it was, the Lin family didn't want to experience it again.

He was helpless, but he could only drag the sick body step by step and grit his teeth to survive, and the torment was full of helplessness. If it weren't for the fact that there was an adult soul living in the young body, I wouldn't know where Lin Xi was at this time.

But looking back now, the sadness of that time has become a precious memory.

"It will get better and better in the future, and the Lin Mansion will definitely be able to occupy a place in the capital in the future. ”

Lin Xi said categorically, with a determined light in his eyes, which made Zhou's mother feel happy for a while, but she was also sad.

"With the young master here, the slave and maid don't worry about anything now, just waiting for the young lady to come in and serve the young lady attentively, if the body is still strong, maybe you can serve the young master for a few years......"

Mother Zhou said carefully, but it was difficult to hide the tentative meaning, Lin Xi put away her smile, looked at the hopeful Mother Zhou with a faint gaze and said, "Some things are just a matter of heart." Mother Zhou, I have my own measure. ”

With a click, Mother Zhou's heart sank, with pleading in her eyes, "Young master, you are the only one in the Lin family, the old lady ......"

"Mother Zhou!" Lin Xi suddenly raised his voice, Mother Zhou was immediately silenced, only to see him say expressionlessly, "If Daddy is still here, he must want me to live a smooth life, and this life will be in vain, right?"

Zhou's mother "woo" and couldn't help covering her mouth, but at the same time she cried.

Lin Xi's heart seemed to be burned, and finally he got up, pulled Zhou's mother to sit on the edge of the bed, gently wiped away her tears, and then hugged her, and said softly: "Mother went early, Dad is busy again, I am a sick child, only Mother Zhou has been with me all the time, and I have already regarded you as a relative and elder in my heart, so I don't want to lie to you." ”

Mother Zhou was stunned, and was about to get up and say, "Slave doesn't dare" but was firmly hugged by Lin Xi, she could only look at him with red eyes, but saw that Lin Xi had a trace of tenderness in her eyes, a little happiness on her face, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Mother Zhou, I like him, all I want is to be with him, I don't want to marry any woman, and I don't want to use other excuses to refuse one good marriage after another." I have someone I like, and he likes me, so there's nothing to be dissatisfied with, don't stop me, okay?"

In the end, it is a coquettish posture, and Zhou's mother has not seen Lin Xi like this for a long, long time.

Thinking that Lin Xi has never been weak since Lin Qing was imprisoned, even if he is in pain and helpless, he will raise his head and move forward, but now it is for ...... Zhou's mother's crying could no longer be suppressed.

She hugged Lin Xi, hugged her like she had when she was a child, and choked up: "The slave's greatest wish is that the young master can live a long and healthy life, and live a peaceful and beautiful life, and there will be nothing else." However, why is he, young master! He is high and powerful, what kind of person can't find him? I think that the third lady of the Hou Mansion would marry him at the expense of lowering her body for the sake of him, such a fragrant bun, young master, you will suffer if you follow him!"

Zhou's mother has been in the inner house all her life, and it is not unusual to see a lot of some things, and there are naturally some men among them, but there are mostly unsightly rumors. I had heard that it was just a joke, but now that it fell on her young master, she was worried and anxious with a circle of bubbles on her mouth.

I can only persuade bitterly: "Now I am fresh and gentle, pampering you, relying on you, once the freshness is over, how can he still look at you, at that time, what should you do? If you are a woman, it is okay if the prince is willing to marry you, and you will always have a name." But how do two men get married? If you let the world know, you won't say that the two are happy, and you won't dare to say that the prince is not, but you will only laugh at you...... Who cares about your talent and reputation when you take advantage of that incident? Young master, you are the one who wants to take the top prize, how can you ruin your reputation! Old Mr. Bai has a good reputation, are you willing to let him carry this stain in his old age?"

Mother Zhou has no selfishness, and thinks about Lin Xi wholeheartedly, it is precisely like this that what she is talking about is exactly what Lin Xi also thinks about and is afraid of. It will only be him who will be ruined, and Zhao Jingyi is just a romantic affair.

It's just that Lin Xi believes in his choice, and he believes in Zhao Jingyi's affection for him more than hesitation and worry.

"Mom, let me go crazy for once, I believe him. ”

This night, Zhao Jingyi didn't dare to meet in the middle of the night, tossing and turning. Similarly, Lin Xi couldn't sleep with red eyes.

On the second day, a pair of red eyes were bloodshot, and the boss was black at the moment, which frightened the reunion, "Oh my God, young master, you haven't slept all night!"

"Why don't you lie down a little longer. Tuan Tuan said worriedly.

Lin Xi shook his head and got up, "No need, I have to go to the Hou Mansion this morning." ”

"The slave went to get an egg and rolled it, if this appearance was seen by Mrs. Tai, she would be worried and asked. Yuan Yuan said and saw Lin Xi nodding and ran out quickly, and after a while, he came over with two boiled peeled eggs, rolled around Lin Xi's eyes several times before they disappeared, had breakfast, and went out after taking care of them.

Before leaving, Lin Xi asked casually, "Why don't you see Mother Zhou?"

Tuan Tuan said: "I was about to tell the young master, Mother Zhou was sick and couldn't get up." ”

Lin Xi frowned, his heart must have been because of yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "Is it serious?

"I went, Lin Fang went to invite it early in the morning, and the doctor said that he was overthinking and wanted to recuperate. ”

Lin Xi understood, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Don't I have a hundred-year-old ginseng there, find it and send it to Mother Zhou." ”

The Yongning Marquis Mansion is still the same, Lin Xi entered the palace and brought back a bunch of rewards, which can be described as a sacred heart, and the subordinates of the Yongning Marquis Mansion were more respectful when they saw it.

The emperor has been sick for nearly a month, and now he can finally go to court as usual, because the men in the palace of the Marquis of Yongning are not in the mansion.

Lin Xi came here at this time, thinking that he was just a showman, and he was too far away from the palace and the court, what could he know?

And the Yongning Marquis Mansion has a delicate relationship because Xiao Jinlan is married to King Liang, I heard that Xiao Jinlan is becoming more and more favored, and even Princess Liang has to be polite for three points, who can say whether the Yongning Marquis Mansion will return the favor with one or two?

Mrs. Tai was still in good spirits, and when she saw Lin Xi's face full of loving smiles, she beckoned him to come to her side.

Since Lin Xi confessed the unspeakable secret, Mrs. Tai's distress for this grandson has intensified. When Lin Xi entered the palace, she was the most worried, and now that she came back, she immediately summoned Lin Xi over with the help of Xiao Jinxin's marriage, and she was relieved after seeing it in person.

"The palace has always been on guard, not letting people move, Sun Er and the Nine Emperor Princes have been living in the side hall of Yijing Palace to regulate the body of Concubine Shuniang, and there are people watching all the time, and I don't know what is happening outside. It was only later that Yijing Palace received the holy decree, and after the concubine Niangniang was in charge of palace affairs, she heard that the concubine had been demoted, and the virtuous concubine entered the cold palace, and the grandson could only leave the palace after the poison of the concubine Niangniang was removed. ”

Although Mrs. Tai didn't ask, Lin Xi still said a few words, and the same would be true when Yongning Hou asked.

The matter of the harem has been rumored outside, and Mrs. Tai knows better than Lin Xi, and when she heard the words, Amitabha Buddha said, "That's how it should be, it has nothing to do with you, and it is only right to ignore it." After speaking, he sighed again, "It's just pity for the Nine Emperor Princes." ”

Lin Xi said: "At least it's not too late. ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, there are some things that everyone can understand.

Since he came because of Xiao Jinxin's family affairs, Lin Xi inevitably asked, "I don't know which family the third sister is set for?"

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Tai's face darkened, and she shrugged her eyelids and said, "The eldest son of Song Guogong." ”

Just listening to this name, the identity is not low, but Lin Xi always feels that it is wrong.

Lin Xi accompanied Mr. Bai to sort out the genealogy of the title of meritorious lord of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Duke of Song was originally the first-class title obtained by the founding general Li Xian for his military merits, and he was hereditary and reborn, and it was indeed a first-class high-ranking family. But now Song Guogong has half-white hair, and his eldest son is ......

"How old is that?"

As soon as Lin Xi asked, he saw that Mrs. Tai was implicitly angry, "It's already the year of no confusion!"

At the age of forty and Xiao Jinxin eighteen, Lin Xi no longer likes Xiao Jinxin, and he has to admit the fact that flowers are inserted in cow dung, and how can he not marry a wife at such an age.

"How could the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt agree?"

Naturally, they disagree, but so what. Mrs. Tai gradually dissipated her anger, with tiredness in her eyes, "That girl is simply in the magic barrier, your eldest aunt is trying to find good relatives for her, but she either thinks that the threshold is low or the family is not wealthy, and her eyes are long and her head is high, looking at those royal relatives who can't look down on her." That Li Rang just died a year ago, leaving a pair of children, and now he wants to continue the string as soon as the filial piety period is over, and this girl delays the flowering period, so the Li family found a matchmaker to try their luck. As soon as your aunt heard this, she was going to beat people out, but she didn't know that the girl was hiding and eavesdropping, and then she asked your aunt to agree to this family business. ”

Lin Xi was speechless for a while, and then asked, "Uncle is like this?"

Mrs. Tai sneered, "Otherwise, what can you do, this girl is looking for death and life, and if she doesn't agree, she will hang the beams of the house, your eldest aunt is a good means for your uncle's wife and concubine, but when it is her daughter's turn, she will only wipe her tears, and she will relent." Your uncle wants to find another relative and marry directly into a sedan chair, but I don't agree, this girl is lawless, and she can't live in peace if she goes to other people's homes, and she can't become an enemy without her in-laws!"

I've heard the saying that if you have a feud with a family, you will raise your daughter and marry her, but now I understand it a little.

"I don't know what the third sister thinks, the stepmother is the stepmother, the future will not be easy, by the way, isn't she worshipping the Buddha in the Pure Buddha Temple? When did she come back?"

"I cried a few words to your aunt and took it back. "It's also annoying to talk about this matter, her mother is still there, she is not good at interfering in many things, and she really doesn't like Xiao Jinxin," her mind is easy to guess, it is nothing more than that Lan Yatou has become a side concubine and has been favored by King Liang, and the scenery is infinite, how can she marry not as good as Sister Shu? Song Guogong is old, and the title will be given to Li Rang sooner or later, and in the future, a first-class Duchess of Guotou, Prince Lan Yatou's side concubine will have to salute her. ”

Lin Xi was completely speechless, this little girl's heart is higher than the sky, but her head is not clear, and she will be angry for a while, and there will be times when she sheds tears in the future. But that's none of his business.

"Speaking of these three sisters, it is still Lan Yatou who can see it best. Mrs. Tai sighed with emotion and glanced at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi smiled, didn't comment, listened to the gossip of an ear, and talked with Mrs. Tai for a while, it was almost time to leave.

Mrs. Tai thought about it, "Before your two uncles have returned, go back." ”

Thinking was guessed by Mrs. Tai, Lin Xi laughed, "Grandson will come to see you next time, by the way, the emperor rewarded me with a lot of good things, some of which are full of ginseng medicinal materials, and my grandmother keeps them to replenish my body." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded.

However, as soon as Lin Xi got up, he came to the door, "Old lady, lady and second aunt and grandmother are here." ”

Lin Xi looked at Mrs. Tai in surprise, but saw that Mrs. Tai also frowned, "This is not a year, why did Miss Lan come back?"

was puzzled, so the Liu family took the maid and the mother-in-law into the Chongjin Hall, and she came in with Xiao Jinlan, the concubine of King Liang. And behind her, Lin Xi was surprised, if she was not mistaken, but it was Aunt Mei who was assigned to Zhuangzi, she was still graceful step by step, and the willow was weak, but Zhuangzi was not happy after all, and she looked haggard.

However, Aunt Mei's eyes were very bright, and her eyes were full of pride, and she was not polite to look at Liu.

Lin Xi was not surprised to see Mrs. Tai, her expression was light, it could be seen that she knew.

The King of Shu was defeated, the King of Liang was hot, and Aunt Mei finally came back with her daughter.

"Say hello to the old lady. The Liu family saluted hard, and when he saw Lin Xi beside Mrs. Tai, he said lukewarmly: "My nephew is also here." ”

"My aunt is well. Lin Xi respectfully saluted Liu, seeing that she looked worried, her face was pale, and her eye bags were swollen, it can be seen that this period of time is not easy, her daughter's family affairs are not satisfactory, and her rival is back, so she can't help but be exhausted.

"The granddaughter said hello to her grandmother. Xiao Jinlan's complexion was good, her eyebrows were bright, and she was supported by Aunt Mei with a smile, she turned her head and saw Lin Xi, her eyes bent, "Cousin." ”
