After Jiang Ning got the news, he went out from the main gate with two personal maids, and came to the Lanting, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Wenyan waiting there, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you here, and you don't have anyone around to serve!"
"I'll come and see you! My father and mother are not at home, and we are going to trouble my aunt this month, so I have to put away my usual little temper, so as not to let people see jokes. Jiang Wenyan stepped forward to look at his already slim sister, and was very pleased.
"Okay, okay, I know, brother, you are always like this, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, even more verbose than Mother Xu!" Jiang Ning said impatiently.
"By the way, my brother came this time to tell you that a banquet will be prepared in the house in five days." Jiang Wenyan found a stone bench and sat down.
"What kind of party are you preparing for no reason, if you want to say that Sister Xue is still young......" Looking at Jiang Wenyan's mysterious smile, Jiang Ning was surprised: "Could it be for you and me?"
"Otherwise, what do you think your mother is here for? You are also 15 years old this year, and the family that your mother picked for you in the past, you didn't dislike this, but you disliked that, and you didn't say anything about it until now! Shaking her head, Jiang Wenyan thought in her heart that her sister was good at everything, but she was too picky.
"I know, brother doesn't have to laugh at me, you forgot that you are also 17 this year, it's not that this one is not looking down on that is not gentle enough. Don't laugh at me for 50 steps and laugh for 100 steps, I'll go back first! With a snort, Jiang Ning turned around and left, ignoring Jiang Wenyan's face.
"This stinky girl is getting more and more unruly." Seeing the two maids beside his sister covering their mouths and snickering, Jiang Wenyan said angrily at Jiang Ning's back with an embarrassed face.
"Forget it, Yiyang is still waiting for me in Yuelin Tower, so I won't worry about you this time." After saying it to himself, he also turned around and left.
Lin Xi didn't touch the young master when he went back, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and warned himself that he must not reveal it in the future. What happened to her is too incredible, and too unbelievable, who knows if it will cause any trouble if people find out.
After returning to the courtyard, Lin Xi went to Mrs. Su, and she was closer to Mrs. Su in the whole courtyard, and this relationship could not be broken.
went to the kitchen, and sure enough, seeing Su Pozi busy in the kitchen, Lin Xi silently stepped forward to help Su Pozi wash the vegetables, and saw someone coming next to the road, Su Pozi looked up and saw Lin Xi quietly squatting on the ground to help wash the vegetables, Su Pozi's heart suddenly softened and smiled: "Why don't you say a word."
"Today, Qian's mother gave us a day off, and Bao'er came over to help my mother." Lin Xi carefully washed the vegetable leaves of his mobile phone and pursed his lips and smiled.
"You've been a rough maid for five years, and this time you've finally been promoted to the third class, but this third rank is not as good as a rough maid who only needs to work hard. You've always been calm, but I'm not worried that you'll do something wrong, but there are many people in this courtyard who are high and low, and you can't blindly tolerate it, you know? Listening to her words, Su Pozi remembered that Lin Xi had been promoted to the third rank a few days ago, and she was happy and admonished.
"Bao'er knows! Thank you for your mother's teachings. ”
The two talked and laughed for a while, and the waiting Mrs. Su washed the rice into the pot, Lin Xi helped to raise the fire and look at the stove, seeing the flames in the stove beating happily, Lin Xi looked at the flames and said casually: "I heard my father say before, our family still has a noble relative!" I heard that Tobe Teraro, who is still an official in the court, is older than our old official! ”
"That's the case, why did your father sell you to this house as a maid." When Mrs. Su heard this, she wouldn't feel strange, the emperor still has poor relatives, it is normal for an official to have a few down-and-out relatives. It's just that there are such relatives, and it's not impossible to go up and beg for it, and it's not impossible to let your daughter go to the house to be a maid, so why bother Baba to sell her daughter to death.
"But then I heard my father say that my distant uncle didn't know what crime the emperor had sentenced him, and their family was raided, and my uncle was given the death penalty, and the only male in the family was also sentenced to exile, and my father often sighed about it!" Lin Xi looked at the dancing flames, and his eyes were calm and terrifying. Thinking of getting the news of her family, she knelt down and begged the man to let her go back, but the man's eyes were cold and indifferent, as long as she thought of the man's tired face, Lin Xi would wake up from her dreams, she never understood what she had done wrong, why was she hated like this.
"That's a pity, I feel familiar with the Lin family you said, I remember it, I remember it five years ago." Su Pozi recalled.
"Really? Mom, I was young and didn't know anything, can you tell me about it? Lin Xi asked pretending to be curious.
"I don't know anything else, this Lord Lin heard that there is a daughter in the family who married into the General's Mansion, but she was weak and passed away after two years of marriage. What a shame! Shaking her head, Mrs. Su felt even more pity, I heard that this Zhao Shizi was a seed of infatuation, and Grandma Zhao had not married for four years after her death, and only last year she remarried a new wife at the behest of her parents. When encountering such a thing, where can those girls who grew up with brocade clothes and jade food withstand it.
"yes, that's a shame! My dad always sighs! Lin Xi smiled and said calmly.
Lin Xi helped Mrs. Su finish her work, then said goodbye and went back to her residence, after eating in the evening, after washing, Lin Xi went to bed early.
Lying on the bed, it was a little difficult to sleep, and she couldn't fall asleep for an hour with her eyes closed, and the things that had been in the dark were very clear in her mind, and Chen'er's small red face flashed. Lin Xi sat up suddenly, looking at the cold moonlight in the window, and she sighed for a long time.
The long breathing of sleep beside him made Lin Xi's heart settle down a little.
You are Lin Baoer now, you are not Lin Xi anymore! comforted herself in her heart, but Lin Xi felt very sour in her heart, and she didn't know why she was uncomfortable, was it because she was Lin Baoer or because she was Lin Xi?
She can't wait like this, she can't get any useful news from Su Pozi, she has to find a way to get out of the house, even if she can't find anything, it's better than spending time here. No matter who she is, Chen'er is her younger brother, she wants to find Xiao Feng, she wants to find Chen'er.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but on the second day, I was woken up impatiently by Lancao, rubbing some dark circles under my eyes, Lin Xi smiled a little embarrassedly: "I had a nightmare last night, so I slept late."
Seeing that Lin Xi's eyes were full of green circles, Lan Cao swallowed the words of accusation, and only urged: "Hurry up and wash your face and go to the kitchen to let people prepare the breakfast that the girl wants today, and next time you are not allowed to lie in bed."
"Got it, Sister Lancao!" Folded the cup neatly, and Lin Xi said with a smile.
