Before he was speaking, there was a sudden loud bang in the attic, and I saw the door open, Aunt Zhao stood at the door, pointed outside, and said sharply: "Get out!" ”

Aunt Zhao has always given people the impression of being taciturn, even if she speaks, her tone is always light and light, so that people can't hear any emotion, this is the first time she has unabashedly revealed her angry feelings.

Zhang's mother was startled by the voice.

Lu Wu and Lu Shang hurriedly ran up, and when they went up the stairs, they saw Jin Zhao and Aunt Yin walking out of it leisurely, and they did not leave immediately, but stood still in front of Aunt Zhao.

Jin Zhao said: "Zijun, it's not that I deliberately want to reveal your scars, I'm really forced to be helpless. Hope you understand. ”

Aunt Zhao didn't look at her and sneered: "Hmph." Whether you are forced to be helpless, you know it. Zhao Fang, when we met in Weiwei, I knew very well what kind of person you were. ”

Jin Zhao's brows furrowed, and his face was displeased: "Zijun, I know you're angry. But you don't have to speak so badly. ”

"Why, do I still want to thank you for coming over today to poke me in the sore spot?"

Aunt Zhao turned her face coldly and glared at Aunt Zhao: "Get out of here!" ”

"You ......"

Jin Zhao wanted to say something, but was pulled by Aunt Yin behind him and stopped.

She endured her temper and said, "You are angry and angry, I still hope you don't forget what I just told you." This kind of thing, whether it's true or not, is not a good thing for the five girls, and you don't want her to know, right? ”

Aunt Zhao stared at her and said, "Zhao Fang, you are still as selfish as ever. ”

"I'm not for myself, I'm for everyone. Be considerate of me. ”

Aunt Zhao didn't bother to speak, snorted coldly, and turned her head.

Jin Zhao looked at it and sighed lightly, then turned around and went downstairs, and Aunt Yin followed.

Lu Wu and Lu Xiang saw people go, and then asked Aunt Zhao: "Grandma, what's wrong?" ”

"It's fine."

Aunt Zhao answered coldly, went back to the house, and slammed the door shut, obviously not wanting to be disturbed.

Green and green clothes looked at each other outside.

Lu Shang said: "It's the first time I've seen my aunt and grandmother so angry." ”

Luwu frowned and said, "Okay, let's go down first." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang's mother quietly looked at the closed door of the attic, thoughtful.

When Jin Xin came back from outside, he saw that Lu Wu and Lu Yi were sitting in the courtyard, which was a little strange.

"Why are you two here today? Don't you have to take care of your mother? ”

Green Dress said: "Grandma is not in a good mood. I locked myself in, and I couldn't get in with Luwu. ”

Jin Xin was stunned, and always felt that the words of the green dress were very strange, and her mother, who was dedicated to the Buddha, would still be in a bad mood?

"Why are you in a bad mood?" she asked. ”

Lu Sheng opened his mouth, and the green Wu on the side hurriedly rushed forward, blocked Lu Shang's words, and said to Jin Xin: "We don't know either." ”

Jin Xin looked at the green and green clothes, his eyes suspicious.

At this moment, there was a noise in the attic, and when everyone looked up, they saw that the closed door of the attic was open.

Lu Wu looked at it, hurriedly pulled the green clothes, and said to Jin Xin: "Miss, let's go up first." ”

So saying, he took the green robe back to the attic.

Jin Xin looked at it over there and felt strange.

When she entered the house, she called Zhang's mother and asked, "Zhang's mother, did anything happen to us today?" ”

Zhang's mother remembered what happened to Jin Zhao's family, and hesitated to say it.

As soon as Jin Xin saw Mother Zhang's expression, he knew that something was strange, and said, "Mother Zhang, don't hide it from me, what happened?" ”

Zhang's mother said: "Today, the eldest lady has been here. ”

"Auntie?" Jin Xin now has a little headache when he hears this person.

"She's coming for me again?"

"It's not." Zhang's mother waved her hand and said, "I'm looking for Aunt Zhao." ”

"Looking for a mother?" Jin Xin was puzzled: "What did she come to her mother for?" ”

Mother Zhang glanced at her a little evasively and said, "I don't know, she said something to Aunt Zhao in the attic, and was later kicked out by Aunt Zhao." As soon as she left, Aunt Zhao locked herself in and didn't let Lu Wu and Lu Yi in. ”

Jin Xin thought about it.

I looked up and wanted to ask Zhang's mother something, but Zhang's mother had long since disappeared.

She looked at Ziqin: "This mother is running quite fast." ”

Ziqin's expression was a little dignified, and he was so distracted that he forgot to answer for a while.

Jin Xin saw it in her eyes, and felt more and more that something was wrong, there must be something she didn't know.

That night, after dinner, Jin Xin went upstairs to see Aunt Zhao.

When she entered, Aunt Zhao unexpectedly did not chant the scriptures, but sat there, in a trance.

When Jin Xin called her, she seemed to be startled.

"Mother, what are you thinking?"

Aunt Zhao looked at Jin Xin in a daze, and was distracted again.

Jin Xin felt that Aunt Zhao tonight was a little different from usual, not so indifferent and distant, but it seemed to be more difficult to grasp, and she didn't know what she was thinking at all.

Aunt Zhao suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Your father ...... him"

Jin Xin was stunned, this was the first time that Aunt Zhao took the initiative to mention Jin Kezhen.

However, Aunt Zhao only made a start, but stopped talking.

Jin Xin waited for a long time and didn't wait for the words later, so he had to ask himself: "Mother, what's wrong with my father?" ”

Aunt Zhao has something in her eyes that people can't see and touch, as if a thousand words are choked in it.

Jin Xin couldn't read it.

But I saw Aunt Zhao raise her hand, stroke her head, and said with a sigh: "You are so old......"

Jin Xin blinked and looked at Aunt Zhao, she was very wrong tonight, she wanted to ask her what was wrong, but the words were choked in her throat, she just couldn't ask, she always felt as if it was not appropriate to ask anything now.

When he returned to his room, Jin Xin was still thinking about Aunt Zhao's various expressions just now, and he couldn't figure it out.

Ziqin made the bed, turned around and saw that she was still sitting there absent-mindedly, walked over and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

Jin Xin came back to his senses, looked up at Ziqin, and said, "I'm a little uneasy in my heart. ”

"Uneasy?" Ziqin was puzzled: "Why? ”

"I can't tell." Jin Xin frowned slightly and said, "Mother is very strange tonight. ”

"What's wrong with Aunt Zhao?"

"It's too gentle, too much like a mother."

Yes, Aunt Zhao is usually indifferent, but tonight's Aunt Zhao, although it is incomprehensible, is exceptionally approachable and gentle, she is even like a loving mother, she will touch her head and sigh that she has grown up.

This kind of situation, in her impression, should not have appeared on Aunt Zhao.

The property of the Jin family has always been stacked in the basement of the Jin house, as early as when the old lady was still alive, the basement was changed to three, and three properties were placed respectively, each with a heavy iron door welded tightly, and each lock was covered with a heavy lock, and each lock had only one key to open. Before the separation, it was kept by the old lady and watched the use arrangement.

Later, the old lady gave the three keys to Jin Zhao, Jin Xin, and Jin Liu.

The housekeeper is the person who handles it, and if you want to go to the basement, you must be accompanied by a housekeeper.

On this day, the Jin Liu family, accompanied by the housekeeper, went to open the iron door of the third room, except for the Jin Liu family and the housekeeper, no one knew how much property there was, because when the Jin Liu family came out, his expression was not very good-looking, so everyone was guessing, presumably there was not much left.

The Jin Zhao family paid close attention to the situation of these family properties, and immediately learned the news and asked Aunt Yin to come over to discuss.

Aunt Yin said: "Everyone knows that the most painful thing for the old lady is the second master, and the second master died young, thinking about it, even if the daily expenses in the house are large, the old lady will not be willing to move the second master's share, most of them are drawn from the big house and the third room." The government has received little money over the years, but the expenses are very large. In this way, among the three rooms, the one with the most left must be the second master's share. There is not much money in the third room, since the third lady has taken it, let her take it, let's just stare at the key in the fifth lady's hand. ”

Jin Zhao listened to Aunt Yin's analysis, nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable." ”

After a pause, she said again: "How many days have passed since the last time I went to talk to Zhao Zijun, and she hasn't moved at all. Isn't it going to do what we say? ”

Aunt Yin smiled: "How come? Madame, don't forget, how much impact that incident had at the beginning, for that incident, she even ruthlessly abandoned the second master, and even when the second master was critically ill, she was so hard-hearted that she didn't even want to take a last look. That matter is her life, and she will never be indifferent. ”

"That's what you say......"

Aunt Yin said, "Madam, wait a little longer. I see there's almost news. ”

It was night, in the silence, somewhere in the Jin family's mansion, suddenly there was a raging fire, which alarmed the whole house.

Jin Xin was the closest to that place, and was awakened by the sound nearby, got out of bed, put on a coat and went out, and saw a small courtyard nearby with bright fire, she recognized it immediately, it was a courtyard that had been sealed for a long time, and it used to be the courtyard where her father lived.

Ziqin came out of the children's room with a lamp and was stunned when she saw the direction of the fire.

Jin Xin glanced back at Ziqin: "Are the children okay?" ”

"Hmm. OK. Zhang's mother looked at it. ”

Ziqin responded, looked at the place where the fire was burning, and was about to speak, when he heard footsteps coming from the attic.

Luwu and Lulu walked down, their faces flustered.

When he saw the firelight over there, his face turned pale, and the envelope in his hand fell to the ground.

Jin Xin looked at it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The two girls didn't respond, and Lu Wu forced a sad expression, while Lu Yi simply sat on the ground and cried loudly.

Jin Xin's heart was inexplicably confused, he sensed that something was wrong, and walked up in a few steps, "Something's wrong!" ”

There were tears in his green eyes, his hands were covering his mouth, he couldn't bear to look at Jin Xin, he just looked at the firelight, his eyes were red.

Jin Xin looked down at the dropped envelope, picked it up, looked at the words on the envelope, and suddenly realized something-
