In the early spring of March, the army finally returned.

The troubled Lao Tzu came to the letter a few days ago, Zhao Yuanrong pouted and looked at it with disgust, and then "cut" it.

This is really my father, I asked him all over the article that everything is okay, and then cut to the point: On the day of the return of the army, Lin Gongzi will come to take a look? If he forgets, be sure to remind him, remember!

Although Zhao Yuanrong slandered him hundreds of times, on that day, he still put on civilian clothes and sneaked to the Lin Mansion early in the morning, waiting for his cousin to go to see the army return to the court.

Lin Xi secretly counted the days, but his face was calm and calm, as if he couldn't help but write the words "Zhao Jingyi" on rice paper.

Well, the duplicitous Lin Gongzi didn't admit that he missed this kind of ghostly emotion.

So today, I practiced a pair of calligraphy, reviewed the textbooks for an hour, and commented on the homework done by Zhao Yuanrong recently, so I changed my clothes and combed my hair under the service of the maid, and prepared to go out with Zhao Shizi refreshingly.

But as soon as he reached the gate, before he could get into the carriage, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels.

"Hey, young master, it's from the Marquis of Yongning. The coachman who was sitting at the front of the carriage was recognized.

Hearing the sound, the people in the carriage lifted the curtain, but it was Mrs. Ren's mother beside her, and when she saw Lin Xi, she shouted, "Young Master Cousin!"

The carriage stopped, and Ren's mother seemed to be in a hurry, so she jumped out of the carriage directly, trotted a few steps to Lin Xi, patted her chest lightly with a handkerchief, and gasped: "Great, young master, the old slave is still in time, don't go, go to the Hou Mansion with the old slave, ouch, something happened......"

Yuanyuan stepped forward to give Ren's mother a smooth breath and asked, "Ren's mother, what's the matter, why are you so anxious, our young master also has something important to do." ”

Mother Ren had been breathing steadily at this time, looking at Lin Xi's curious gaze, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, the old slave doesn't know what to say, it's not because of the matter of our family's third aunt and grandmother, the old lady is about to be angry, and the eldest and young grandmother saw that the situation was wrong, so she asked the old slave to rush to report to the young master." ”

Zhao Yuanrong, who was standing beside Lin Xi, knew that it was bad when he heard it, and sure enough, he saw that Lin Xi was in a hurry, Mrs. Tai's age was not young, so he didn't think about it and said, "I'll go and see it immediately, Yuanyuan will bring the medicine box." ”

Zhao Yuanrong grinned when he heard this, and without hesitation, he followed his cousin into the carriage and decided to go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to have a look.

As for the Rui Wangye, who was about to ride a high-headed horse into the city in a heroic manner, he was left behind in a blink of an eye.

In the carriage, Ren's mother looked at Zhao Yuanrong, who was sitting next to Lin Xi, and wondered why this prince came with her.

"Mother Ren, now you can say it, what is going on? What about uncle and cousin?" Lin Xi asked.

Ren's mother came back to her senses and said: "Alas, Master Hou, the fourth master and the eldest young master have not come back after going to court, and the second young master is not up to the matter, the eldest and young grandmother asked the old slave to come and find the young master, for fear that the old lady will be angry." ”

Mother Ren saw Lin Xi's anxious face, with worry in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel relieved for the old lady. It's just that when I thought of the matter of the Hou Mansion, I couldn't help but sigh, "How to say this, it's really shameless to say." Our third aunt and grandmother have not been born since they got married, and they went back to their parents' house with their aunt on three days. After all, it was the brother-in-law who didn't let the Guogong Mansion know that there was no one in his mother's house, and the eldest young master was still cheeky to support the third aunt and grandmother at first, but this time and twice, it was the aunt and grandmother who didn't take care of it, and the uncle was angry and black-faced, and the eldest young master didn't bother to care, even if the lady said that he didn't care, and even hid out. ”

Lin Xi nodded, Xiao Yuheng relied on him last time and refused to go home.

"I want the old slave to say that although my uncle is older and pedantic, he is still a kind person, and every time he comes to pick up, although he is reluctant to have a stinky face, but the lady said that the two couples went back peacefully, and even the old lady was kind to him, and once said that this family affair was not bad. ”

Lin Xi agreed, "And then?"

Then Ren's mother hated iron and steel, "Some time ago, the third aunt and grandmother came back again, and the girl said that she was pregnant." Mrs. Hou Ye was very happy, but it was also strange that this great event, the Guogong Mansion sent someone to say goodbye, at this time, when my aunt and grandmother were dignified, how could I go back to my parents' house like this, and my aunt didn't come with me. asked her aunt, and her aunt said angrily that because she was pregnant, the duchess of the country had taken away the power of her housekeeper, or she would arrange someone for her aunt, and she ran back by herself in a fit of anger. As soon as she was pregnant, she arranged for the people in the house, didn't she slap her aunt and grandmother in the face? The Hou Ye and his wife were very angry. But the strange thing is that when I sent someone to the Guogong Mansion to ask questions, my aunt and grandmother stopped me, crying and shouting, 'Go and ask what to do, no one is allowed to go, can't I live without Li Rang? He doesn't want children, and I am not allowed to go when I am born myself!' He cried and made trouble, saying that he was going to crash to death on the pillar, and the lady was so frightened that she had no choice but to call the person back and coax him to stop. ”

Lin Xi frowned, with his understanding of Xiao Jinxin, things were not simply like this, "She didn't tell the truth, did she?"

Ren's mother smiled bitterly and nodded, "No, this incident alarmed the old lady, called the lady to her, and said that the aunt who had never been married went back to her parents' house to raise the baby, and asked the lady to send someone to find the aunt over, if the Guogong Mansion is wrong, this matter can't be just settled." Because the second aunt and grandmother were also pregnant, the house was already a little unpeaceful, and Mrs. was right to think about it, so she asked Mother Lu next to her to go to the Guogong Mansion, but before she saw her uncle, she was sneered at by the Duchess of Guo and asked Mother Lu to come back and spread the word. ”

Ren's mother learned like that, and said coldly: "As the old saying goes, cheap is not so easy to take advantage of, if you knew that it was such a character, even the immortals would stay away." Ask your girl, if you still want to live, if you don't want to live, pull the dowry back, point it out, and get it off as soon as possible!"

"The third sister is pregnant with a child. Lin Xi was surprised.

Ren's mother's face turned red, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, what a sin, Madame's face turned red and white when she heard this, and she couldn't speak for a long time." So I asked my aunt what I had done to make the Guogong Mansion say such a harsh word, and my aunt hadn't come to pick up anyone until now, and he didn't even come to ask. My aunt and grandmother didn't do anything about it, they pointed to the heavens and the earth, and they said that they couldn't die well if they lied. said that the Duchess of the Kingdom could not see her managing her uncle everywhere, separating their husband and wife, always saying that she was not as good as the main room in front of her, and the children she gave birth to were not as good as the previous ones, no one took her seriously in the Guogong Mansion, and the aunt began to freshly refresh her beauty, and now that this head has passed, she is not distressed, the eldest young master has never treated her as a mother, and she has been colliding everywhere, knowing that she is pregnant and deliberately bumping into her to spoil her belly, and saying that Mrs. has red eyes, and the mother and son hugged her head and cried. My aunt's low marriage was a thorn in the heart of the lady, and at this time, she was angry, so she sent someone to the Guogong Mansion regardless of it, and spread the word that 'clutch is clutch, the concubine of the Hou Mansion can't let people be so cheap, and the child was born with the surname Xiao, which has nothing to do with the Li family. 'The young grandmother can't stop it, and people go as fast as they come, and the Duchess of Daoguo only said one thing to know. ”

"When did this happen? Does my grandmother know?"

This is like telling a story, Lin Xi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuanrong, but saw that the kid was listening with his eyes wide open, and when he saw Lin Xi looking over, he smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

Ren's mother said: "How dare you let the old lady know that the weather has been hot and cold these days, and the old lady's body is not happy." It is precisely because of the old lady that this morning came out. That day, the Duchess said 'I know' and there has been no news, I don't want the Duchess to come early this morning, in front of the old lady and Mrs. put down two handwritten letters, one is a clutch book, the other is a letter of resignation, so angry that the old lady almost recited it. ”

This was simply surprising, Lin Xi hurriedly asked: "How can this be, what did the third sister do? What about grandmother, how is it now?"

Ren's mother didn't know how to say it to be decent, and after thinking about it, she had nothing to hide, so she said: "The old lady is okay, she took the heart-saving pill and withstood it." Madame was surprised and angry, and asked the Duchess what she meant. The Duchess of the State said, it depends on what the aunt and grandmother do, if it is good to gather and disperse, and spit out all the food that has been eaten, it will be clearly separated, if it is unwilling, then divorce the wife, the Guogong Mansion is not able to climb the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion who is so educated, and after speaking, she will not even eat tea and take people away. Speaking of this, there is nothing unclear, the old lady immediately couldn't sit still, and forced her aunt to ask, but the aunt refused to admit it. So she detained all the maids and mothers-in-law around her and tortured them in front of her aunt and grandmother, and then slowly recruited. The old slave listened to half of it, and the young grandmother was afraid that the old lady would go wrong, so she asked her to find the young master. ”

The Duchess of Guo is already old, and her energy is not as good as before, thinking that the character of the Hou Mansion must not be bad, at first she looked at her manners, and after Xiao Jinxin passed the door, she happily handed over the middle feed to her, but she didn't think about it, but she looked away.

Although Xiao Jinxin is not a delicate beauty like Xiao Jinlan, she is also a beautiful lady with beautiful eyebrows. Li Rang liked it the moment he took off his hijab, and at the age of forty, he could still marry such a young and beautiful young lady, what else would he not follow.

Li Rang except for a son and a daughter left in the front room, none of the rest of the concubines had children, just right, Xiao Jinxin took over the housekeeper's rights, and the first thing was to sell the young and bewitching ones, leaving only the old and decrepit room with Li Rang to occupy a room.

One of them was quite favored before Xiao Jinxin got married, and when he heard that the new lady was going to sell it as soon as he came, he immediately made a fuss, which was also a bad one, and he knelt in the main courtyard and kowtowed vigorously on the day when Li Rang was there, knocking on the ground and bleeding and fainting, which made people really unbearable to watch.

After all, with himself, Li Rang discussed with Xiao Jinxin to keep them, Xiao Jinxin naturally refused, and the couple argued for a long time and no one let them. Angry, Xiao Jinxin took advantage of Li Rang to go to the yamen, and sent a few powerful mothers-in-law to lead the tooth women to the door, and sold them one by one. This one who is still going to be a demon was beaten half dead and carried out first.

When Li Rang came back, the backyard was almost empty, and he was so angry that he had a big quarrel with Xiao Jinxin, and the third aunt and grandmother, who couldn't stand the anger, immediately went back to her parents' house.

After this start, it was out of control.

Xiao Jinxin didn't really want to live with Li Rang, so she took a breath before getting married, and when her mind calmed down, she looked at this forty-year-old man, who had achieved nothing, guarding a clear and indifferent yamen day by day, waiting for the dukedom to fall to her head one day, and her heart was unbalanced. Compared with his sweetheart who couldn't get married, he regretted it deeply.

What's more, Sister Shu is becoming more and more valued and decent. This feeling of jealousy and powerlessness made the disgust in her eyes reveal a little bit, Li Rang is not a fool, and she can slowly feel the disdain of her little wife, and this tolerant heart gradually becomes cold.

The love between husband and wife was worn out in just a few months.

Not to mention Li Rang's pair of children, for this stepmother, the eldest young master Yu Ge'er can hide and hide, but when his upbringing grandmother was just shaved her mouth because she complained that 'stepmother is stepmother', and she couldn't speak, his relationship with Xiao Jinxin was like fire and water.

The Duchess couldn't stand it, so she didn't allow Xiao Jinxin to interfere in Brother Yu'er's affairs, which made Xiao Jinxin extremely angry.

When Lin Xi followed Ren's mother to Songtao Courtyard, she saw a row of maids kneeling on the ground, hanging their heads, trembling with fear.

Mrs. Tai sat in front of the hall with her eyes closed and leaned against the soft cushion, the exhaustion of her body made Lin Xi's heart sour, and her left hand was still holding the Buddha beads, as if this could support her from falling.

And Mother Qi was standing behind her, waiting carefully.

Mrs. Tai sat Shan next to her, with a calm face and anger in her eyes, and glanced coldly at Liu, who was holding a handkerchief and sobbing quietly, and the eldest and youngest grandmother Bai was caressing her shoulder and comforting silently, and from time to time looked outside as if someone was waiting.

It wasn't until Lin Xi appeared at the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren's mother hurriedly reported, "Old lady, the young master is here." ”

Lin Xi didn't wait for him to speak, he walked in quickly, and when he saw Mrs. Tai's breathing heavily, and her eyes were closed, his expression suddenly sank, and he pulled Mrs. Tai's wrist to check the pulse.

"Cousin......" Zhao Yuanrong walked in and stepped forward.

Lin Xi shrugged at him, and he nodded.

Behind him, Liu called out to him, "Rong'er." ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Liu and called softly, "Grandmother." "But it hasn't passed.

At this time, Mrs. Tai opened her eyes, and her gaze slowly met Lin Xi's face, "Xi'er, it's nothing, why did I call you." As she spoke, she was about to sit up, and Mother Qi and Lin Xi hurriedly helped her up.

Lin Xi said: "Anger and blood are on the brain, it's not a joke, do you know that you are not young anymore?" glanced at the maid on the ground lightly, "What the hell is it." ”

The strange tone made Mrs. Tai's depressed face soften slightly.

"Great-ancestor, is it still uncomfortable? Your face doesn't look good at all, listen to your cousin, don't worry about it. Zhao Yuanrong held Mrs. Tai's hand with a concerned face.

"Rong'er is also here, Great-Ancestor saw you, and he was all right at once, don't worry, it's okay. Mrs. Tai finally smiled and touched Zhao Yuanrong's head lovingly.

Lin Xi was about to persuade her to rest, but she saw Mrs. Tai waving her hand at him, needless to say, she knew in her heart, "Since Xi'er is here, let's sit, not an outsider." ”

Lin Xi frowned when he heard this, he had no interest in what Xiao Jinxin had done, he just didn't worry about his elderly grandmother.

Then Zhao Yuanrong directly found a chair and sat down, looking like he was ready to listen to the story, his black eyes flashed with curiosity.

What is going on, Lin Xi was speechless for a while, and could only sit down together when Zhao Yuanrong pulled the hem of his clothes.

"Go and call the girl, and bring these minions down. Mrs. Tai spoke. 166 Reading Network
