Living in the Hou Mansion, the yard is connected to the yard, and as soon as the wind blows the grass and moves, all the yards get the news.

The ladies in the Hou Mansion already had little pastime, and when Lin Xi arrived an hour before lunch, he saw that the Chongjin Hall was full of people, and even the Mei family, who rarely showed up, was also there, and he was stunned for a while.

"Yo, Master Cousin is finally here, if you don't come again, we have to go and see it in person. Shan's octave-high and open voice with that bright face always makes people feel happy, "Our old lady has seen through the autumn water." ”

Mrs. Tai scolded with a smile when she heard this: "You are so talented...... Alas, I don't even know what to say. ”

"I haven't read any books, so don't laugh at me. Shan held the back of Mrs. Tai's hand and pretended to lament.

Lin Xi greeted Mrs. Tai and Shan's family, and greeted a few cousins and cousins, and glanced at the room in the middle, and found that there were several boxes next to it, which contained various fabrics and accessories, all of which were open, which showed that everyone was choosing before he came in.

"Is your body better?" Mrs. Tai touched Lin Xi's hand, which was not as hot as hers, and suddenly said dissatisfied, "You kid, I don't know what to say about you. Yesterday worked hard, do you want to get a cold today? Mother Qi, give him the stove. ”

Lin Xi was slightly embarrassed, and was about to refuse, but Mrs. Tai glanced at her, and honestly took the stove to warm her hand.

At this time, Liu led people in, and Lin Xi saluted with many cousins.

Liu looked at Lin Xi and asked with concern: "Xi'er is better, what medicinal supplements do you need, even if you talk to your aunt, don't open your mouth." ”

"Aunt rest assured, Xi'er is fine, she was just a little tired yesterday, and she just slept well. ”

Liu then nodded, looked at the many daughters and nieces, and asked with a smile: "Have you chosen them all?" ”

As soon as Liu's words fell, he saw that all the female dependents had joy in their eyes and thanked them one after another.

On the bright side, Liu's has always been a bowl of water.

"By the way, I also left a few plain horses for Xi'er, the texture is quite light and soft, with some dark lines, breathable in summer, you see if you like it, although filial piety should not pay attention to appearance, but it can't be too dark to lose the vitality of young people. ”

Liu pointed to a few plain white fabrics quietly placed on the side and said.

You don't need to look at it to know that it's good material, "I don't know how many cousins and cousins you have?"

Mrs. Tai was obviously extremely satisfied with the Liu family this time, "Yes, the old woman has seen it, your aunt is very attentive, they are all good materials, and the eye color pattern will not collide when worn on the body." ”

"That Xi'er is better to be respectful than to obey her fate, Aunt Xie. ”

Lin Xi sat with Mrs. Tai for a while, waiting for lunch.

"What, what's on your mind?" asked Mrs. Tai softly, patting the back of his hand.

Lin Xi shook his head.

"If you have something, just say that your grandmother is in charge of you. ”

Lin Xi sighed when he heard this, "It's nothing, it's just some trivial things in the yard, they have followed me since I was a child, and I'm not happy to punish them, and it's not this girl's fault to say it." ”

"What a big deal I must have. Mrs. Tai smiled, "People's hearts are flesh and blood, even a kitten and a dog have feelings after being raised for a long time, let alone a person." But it's just a maid, you're not there, and you lose something quietly in the yard, it's her fault, of course you have to be punished, otherwise wouldn't it be a mess? But then again, what did you lose, see if your grandmother can help you make up for it?"

Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows, and said obediently: "It's not a valuable thing, but I just lost a few books, but I've only read half of it, and it's not easy to find, so I'm quite annoyed,"

Although the voice was soft, everyone in this room could hear it, Lin Xi looked around quietly, some looked surprised, and some pouted carelessly, as if they didn't know.

"What kind of book makes our young master scratch his ears and lungs so much, let my aunt also look at it, but fortunately, it is only the book that I lost, and I just need to find it again...... It can't be alone, right?"

Shan said with a smile, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, but when he thought that literati were such a stinky problem, it didn't matter if he lost his gold, silver and jewelry, and he had to work hard without books, so he was relieved.

Lin Xi smiled slightly, "Xi'er doesn't know if this is the only book, but it was brought over by my father at the beginning of the year, and it was the first few books that I lost, although it was not important, but the next few volumes were lost, and it was always not easy to read these books, so Xi'er was quite annoyed and punished the girl." ”

I see, it can be regarded as Lin Qing's relic.

Liu said: "Let your cousin Heng look for it, as long as it is not a lonely book, you can always get it." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, but suddenly heard Xiao Jinping say softly: "Since my cousin is a trustee, why don't you ask that person again, I don't know where it is?"

Xiao Jinxin chuckled when she heard this, "The second sister is the smartest." ”

Xiao Jinping said: "Sister, don't make fun of my sister, my cousin is afraid that he has thought of asking a long time ago." ”

Lin Xi shook his head, "It's a shame for my cousin to remind me." ”

Xiao Jinping showed a supple smile, "My cousin is also happy to be able to help my cousin, but I don't know where the next few volumes are? ”

Xiao Jinxin pursed her lips, "My uncle's relics are so precious, and my second sister asks for them so much, does my cousin give them or not?"

Xiao Jinping was suddenly embarrassed by Xiao Jinxin's words, and her face slowly turned red, "I'm just curious to ask this question, if my cousin doesn't want to be strong, my sister will be embarrassed when she says this." ”

As he spoke, his eyes moistened, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed secretly.

Aunt Mei didn't say a word, like a wooden stake, but when she saw her daughter being squeezed and cried, she couldn't help but say loudly: "Third Miss, Second Miss has always liked to read, and when she sees something new, she can't help but be a little moved, so she cheekily opened her mouth to Young Master Cousin, but when you say this, a sparse and ordinary thing seems to be deliberately done by Second Miss, doesn't it make Second Miss sad." ”

Xiao Jinping's eyes were pricked up, and she was about to speak, when suddenly a cup of tea was put on the table, making a crisp sound, and she heard Liu Shi say slowly: "Mei's, the two sisters are just joking, and after a while, they have a quarrel, are you talking so rashly, do you want to say that the third lady deliberately squeezes her sister?"

Mei immediately knelt in front of Liu, and said aggrievedly: "The concubine is just concerned about the second lady, so she was in a hurry and said the wrong thing, please punish Mrs. ”

Xiao Jinping also knelt down next to Mei's, "Mother, it's my fault, my sister said that I was for my good, I shouldn't be cheeky to ask my cousin for it, if you want to punish me, punish me." ”

Saying that, the mother and daughter supported each other and cried low.

Lin Xi was simply dumbfounded, but it was just a small thing that could cause such a big lawsuit.

The days he spent in the Yongning Marquis Mansion were not long, and he only stayed in his Lanyue Xuan on weekdays, and it was not easy for unmarried men to walk around in the backyard, if he didn't ask Mrs. Tai for peace, he couldn't see the young women, so there were not many opportunities for all the people in the backyard to be there today.

Lin Xi's eyes inadvertently looked at Mrs. Tai and Shan, and saw that Mrs. Tai seemed to be squinting her eyes and playing with the Buddha beads on her wrist, and Shan's eyes focused on the brocade pattern on the cuffs, as if she had never heard Mei and Xiao Jinping's low sobs.

Is this too much to take for granted?

Lin Xi was slightly embarrassed, isn't it too deliberate to get up and say goodbye now, shouldn't this kind of thing be said behind closed doors?

"Shut up, where did you learn this appearance of pear blossoms and rain at every turn, and do you have the bearing of a young lady?" Liu held back his anger, scolded Xiao Jinlan, and aimed at Mei again, even more dissatisfied, "I don't see how attentive you are on weekdays, what is the matter with the sudden coming over today?

"What Madame says about the concubine body, it is all what the concubine body should suffer, how can there be any grievances and not grievances, but the second lady is already old, you say this about her, how will she deal with herself in the future?"

Aunt Mei knelt on the ground and was not aggrieved, but she was more aggrieved than anyone else, and she was sharp-tongued, taking retreat as advance, and the words were all about Liu's bullying of concubines.

And Liu is accustomed to making a high-minded posture, and he was so angry that he slapped the table and smashed the teacup a few times at most, and he really had no way to take the mother and daughter.

Now that he is in Chongjin Hall again, the Shan family in the fourth room is looking at it again, and he really loses face, which is a happy thing, but it makes it quite unpleasant.

Xiao Jinxin couldn't see that her mother was upset by the mother and daughter, and immediately said: "What did my mother say about the second sister that made Aunt Mei so unhappy, okay, it's all my fault for being a sister, the second sister is noble, weak and kind, I bullied him as a sister, I came to apologize to my aunt and sister, okay?"

As he spoke, he was about to walk over and bend his knees, but his eyes were sharp and could kill.

At this time, Shan straightened his sleeves, and Shi Shiran said: "Okay, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, it's just a trivial matter, and what you do involves a series of things, which makes people see it all jokes." Aunt Mei, what are you talking about between the two sisters, the old lady and Mrs. are here, who else can you favor?"

He turned his eyes to Lin Xi and said: "Look at you, you provoked it, at this moment, no matter how precious the books are, you have to take them out, our second lady is just curious and wants to pay a look." ”

I don't know if this tone is sarcastic or what, Lin Xi can only bow his head and say: "Naturally, when I find it, my cousin can send someone to pick it up at any time if he wants to see it." ”

Mother Qi scolded those maids with a calm face, "Are you all pestle to be wooden people? Hurry up and help up all the masters of your family." ”

After a period of scramble, they all took their places.

I heard Aunt Mei say to Ai Ai: "Young Master Cousin, the second young lady is old after all, can you let the second young master come and pick it up?" You are all scholars, and you have a lot of communication, and the second young master admired my aunt very much before. ”

Lin Xi suddenly smiled and said, "You can." ”

Mrs. Tai listened to it, stopped holding the Buddha beads, and said, "Xi'er stayed to accompany the old woman to eat, and the rest should go back." The two girls each copied the "Boudoir Training" ten times and handed it to me after three days. ”

As soon as Mrs. Tai spoke, no one dared to object, and they all got up to say goodbye.

Xiao Jinlan was dissatisfied and was about to speak, but Liu stretched out her hand and lowered her head and shut up. Xiao Jinlan looked at Lin Xi and said humbly to the old lady, "Yes." ”

Finally quiet.

Lin Xi sighed lightly, three women in one play, a group of women is really terrible.

I don't know what the benefits of these three wives and four concubines are, they are harmonious and beautiful on the surface, but they are swords and swords at the bottom, and they don't know when they will fall out and see people's lives.

is like Zhao Jingyi's backyard, no wonder he is going astray now, no matter how he goes.

Now that the two grandparents have lunch, the things on the table are all what Lin Xi likes to eat.

Mrs. Tai has several grandchildren, all of whom they like from the bottom of their hearts, but as soon as Lin Xi came, he found that he was compared, and Xiao Yuheng sometimes pretended to complain that he had fallen out of favor.

Mrs. Tai doesn't use it much, so she likes to watch Lin Xi's delicate and delicate appearance of chewing and swallowing slowly. is not arrogant or impatient, and sometimes looks more exquisite than everyone else, but it is not girly. What makes people look sideways, but it is calm and quiet.

With the demeanor of a son of a family, Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart, Lin Qing raised her son very well.

"Xi'er, drink this bowl of soup. ”

Mother Qi put the soup cup in front of Lin Xi, and said with a smile: "The old lady ordered the kitchen to stew for a long time, but the nourishment is not much, and it is good for the young master's body." ”

Lin Xi still finished drinking slowly.

The grandparents put down the dishes and chopsticks together.

"The prince told me yesterday that the prince still has to entrust you to take care of it, did he tell you?"

Lin Xi took Qi's mother's handkerchief and wiped her hands, and when she heard the words, she paused slightly, thinking that Zhao Jingyi had also calculated the situation, and she didn't plan to bring the child over directly.

So he said: "The prince mentioned it when he was in the palace, and he told me again yesterday, but after all, the prince's identity is different, so I still have to ask you and your uncle and aunt what they mean." "Although most of the Yongning Marquis Mansion will not refuse.

"Long before the holy decree was issued, the two palaces had already shown their mouths in front of the queen mother and the emperor, that is, the two kings also asked the meaning of the prince, Rong'er was not in good health, and her identity was extremely special, and the palace had no permission so far, and everyone was concerned about who would take care of the child after the prince left Beijing. ”

Zhao Jingyi is such a precious son, although he is only six years old, he can already influence the tendency of Rui Wangfu on a certain level.

"The prince doesn't seem to want to cause this trouble. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, and Lin Xi helped her walk slowly in the yard to eat.

"It was because he mentioned it yesterday, and I thought about it and agreed. But it's also my grandmother's, no, I didn't ask you what you mean first. What is the health of the prince? Your child is also suffering from minor illnesses and major illnesses, and it doesn't hurt to go to the palace once in a while to rectify one or two, but if you put it by your side and take care of your body, you can eat it?"

Lin Xi said: "Grandmother rest assured, the prince's body is actually fine, the weather becomes hot after spring, take care of it, the cold is not easy to attack, and my aunt is here, how can I really care about us, if there is a difficulty, I still have to ask you two for help." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled when she heard this, and nodded again and again, "That's the reason, you can relax, how can you really let a young boy take care of the child, you don't need to say it, your aunt will definitely arrange it properly." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help frowning and sighed, "It's also that your cousin is not blessed." ”

Lin Xi was speechless, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Jingyi was still his cousin-in-law, and his family was sparing no effort to marry his cousin to him, and this chaotic relationship suddenly made his whole person bad.

"What's wrong with Xi'er, but you're tired?" Seeing Lin Xi suddenly stop, Mrs. Tai turned her head to look at him suspiciously.

Lin Xi came back to his senses, shook his head and replied, "...... No. Thinking of this, he suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks, his two cousins who were like flowers and jade......

So he asked dryly, "Aren't there two cousins?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Tai's face stern, "Xi'er, don't talk nonsense, your two cousins have nothing to do with the prince." ”

What?

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Tai pointed to his head and smiled: "Silly boy, there is no shadow, the reputation of the daughter's family can't be spread randomly, or do you have ideas?"

The spring sun shone on Lin Xi, making his mind a mess, "...... What's the idea?"

What ideas can he have, the other party is desperately upside down, and he doesn't agree!

Mrs. Tai obviously didn't think the same thing as Lin Xi, and when she saw Lin Ximu stunned, she whispered: "I did have this idea at that time, but the prince didn't mean that, so that's it." It's just a Xin girl, Lan Yatou is not young, and after August, it is her time, that Mei has been unwilling before, but now she is in a hurry, and she is also looking forward to Ai Ai Di in Hou Ye's place to reveal some meaning. ”

Lin Xi didn't understand yet, but Mrs. Tai couldn't help but poke his head, "My stupid Xi'er, haven't you seen it yet, the Mei family has come to say goodbye since you came back, and said those words openly and secretly, how could you ever be so courteous? ”

At this time, Lin Xi realized, but he could only be stunned, "Why is this? Why did you suddenly get involved with me." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi proudly, the thin young man is now tall, handsome, calm and modest, and his medical skills are valued by Prince Rui, who can be described as the life-saving benefactor of the prince, and now he wants to enter the Bai Family Academy to study, and he will have these help in the future, and he will not worry about no official luck.

Yongning Hou is both a father-in-law and an uncle, kissing and kissing, there is no in-laws to serve, and there is no uncle and sister-in-law to worry about, where to find such a good son-in-law?

"Xi'er think about it, are you willing?" Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi with deep meaning.

Lin Xi looked up at the sky, it didn't seem to be a question of whether he was willing or not, but someone might accept it?

In the afternoon, Mrs. Tai took a nap, Lin Xi returned to Lanyue Xuan, and she took a nap after being tired and having a headache.

After waking up, he called Zhou's mother, "What's wrong?"

"Young master, don't worry, everything that should be beaten has been beaten, and everything has been distributed, it depends on whether they are willing to be honest or not. ”

Lin Xi nodded noncommittally, "What about Tuan Tuan, I wronged her." ”

Zhou's mother smiled and said: "I haven't come out of the house at this time, Yuanyuan will go in and take a look from time to time." What are the grievances, it is too smooth sailing on weekdays, and the loss of vigilance makes people take advantage of the loopholes, so that she can have a good memory. ”

In the evening, Yuanyuan served Lin Xi to sleep, and then returned to the house, she lived with Tuan Tuan, even if Tuan Tuan was now demoted to a third-class girl, she did not move the place.

Before going back to the house, she went to the small kitchen again, and her mother on the stove had already received news of her, and simmered a roast duck on the stove, and heated a bowl of millet porridge.

Tuan Tuan Reunion is a round girl, and she eats more than the average girl, and the mother on the stove knows it, and she often stays for supper.

Hearing the squeak, Tuan Tuan, who was lying sad and tearful on the bed, glanced at it, immediately got up, sat down at the table, quickly opened the food box, took out the roast duck and millet porridge inside, and didn't mind being greasy, so he directly ripped off a duck leg and gnawed it.

"I'm starving, I haven't eaten for a day, it's terrible. ”

Yuan Yuan held his cheeks and sat on the side to watch Tuan Tuan gobble, "Eat slowly, and no one will rob you, why don't you hide some food from your smarters, it's too uncomfortable to be hungry." ”

Tuan Tuan couldn't help but complain: "Don't you know, wave after wave of girls and mothers-in-law came over, talking about comfort, in fact, they didn't come to see my down-and-out appearance, if they found out that they could eat, then they still have to do it, aren't the ones you did before revealing the stuffing?"

She drank half a bowl of rice porridge, nibbled on a duck leg, sighed, felt alive again, and then ate slowly.

Yuan Yuan saw her feasting, relieved herself, and said: "The young master is right, you are also in charge of here and there on weekdays, there are too many things, and you don't worry about others doing it, so people take advantage of the loopholes." If you find that slut this time, you should also let the other maids take care of things, the young master said, saying that you must know how to delegate power. ”

Tuan Tuan plucked a duck wing and bit it hard, "I must take a closer look at it at this time, and I have to pick out that cheap hoof!" I thought about this matter again and again, it is not like someone outside took advantage of the chaos to touch in, looking at the familiar appearance, I must be familiar with Lanyue Xuan, and I can't run away from those few horizontally and vertically." ”

Yuan Yuan nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi rested for a night, and finally got rid of his exhaustion, but on the second day, when he went to Chongjin Hall to say goodbye, he saw Zhao Yuanrong's little prince blooming with a bright smile and ignoring everyone's flattery, and ran to himself who was still at the door, opened his arms and hugged his legs, and shouted crisply, "Cousin, Rong'er misses you, do you miss Rong'er?"

It's really loveless!

looked around, didn't see Zhao Jingyi's shadow, but saw Gonggong Cao, who seemed to be greeting Mrs. Tai warmly, heard Zhao Yuanrong's crisp call, also looked over, and said with a smile: "Gongzi Lin is fine, I haven't seen you for a few days, the miscellaneous family really misses you." ”

Seeing Lin Xi look around him, he smiled even more happily, "The prince went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the whole army is about to be, so he didn't come over today, Lin Gongzi forgive me." ”

He wanted to come but couldn't. Zhao Yuanrong added very cleverly.

Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out and touched Zhao Yuanrong's head, and wanted to ask Do you know why your father came? But in the end, he still didn't say it, it was too embarrassing.

And Zhao Yuanrong also arched in the palm of his hand, looking really like a coquettish little animal, how could he face the appearance of a young master who ignored and hummed in the face of others.

Lin Xi's heart suddenly melted.

"I heard that the prince likes Xi'er for a long time, but now seeing is believing, look at this affectionate appearance, the prince didn't choose the wrong person. "Shan has seen Zhao Yuanrong's cold posture, and he is very surprised by the appearance of the nestling bird when he sees his mother.

"It's also fate. Mrs. Tai was quite happy, and repeatedly instructed Qi's mother to send the prepared things to Lanyue Xuan, and also dialed some old and stable people to choose to go over.

However, he was stopped by Gonggong Cao, "Old lady, the prince wants to live with Lin Gongzi permanently, and the man who serves the prince is ready." ”

That's it, and Mrs. Tai didn't say anything.

After sitting down and talking to each other for a while, Lin Xi took Zhao Yuanrong back to Lanyue Xuan.
