Chapter 369: I'm Back (Second Watch)
The next day, Jin Xin went to the Jin Mansion to visit the old lady, because he didn't know the specific situation, so he went alone first, and didn't take Fengfeng and Qiaoqiao with him.
The descendants of the Jin family were all surprised to see her come back after disappearing for many years, and their eyes looked at her so quietly, as if they couldn't accept her sudden appearance, and the expressions on their faces were also a little strange.
Jin Xin ignored those glances and quietly came to the old lady's house.
When I entered the house, I saw a large number of people inside, Jin Zhao's family, Jin Liu's family, several aunts and the eighth lady Jin Wan'er were all guarding the old lady's bedside, and on the bed, the old lady was lying there, her face looked very bad.
Although the daughters of the Jin family had already heard the report that Jin Xin was coming, when they really saw Jin Xin himself, they couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Luan Ming was the first to react, and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and took her hand: "Fifth Miss, you're back!" The old lady has been talking about you all these years! ”
Jin Xin smiled at Luan Ming and held Luan Ming's hand, "How is grandmother?" ”
Luan Ming came to his senses, and hurriedly pulled Jin Xin to the old lady's bedside, and whispered to the old lady who was still drowsy: "Old ancestor, old ancestor, take a look, who is coming." ”
The old lady looked drowsy, after all, people are not asleep, they are still conscious, hearing the sound of Luanming, they slowly opened their eyes with difficulty, and when they saw Jin Xin standing in front of the bed, they were stunned, and they cried out: "Xin girl?" Is this Xin girl? ”
For a moment, Chaos' eyes immediately cleared, looked at Jin Xin, and struggled to sit up from the bed.
When Jin Xin saw it, he hurriedly helped the old man up with Luan Ming, Luan Ming took the pillow on the side and put it behind the old lady, and said with a smile: "Look, as soon as the fifth lady came, the old lady immediately became more energetic." ”
The old lady reluctantly smiled, looked at Jin Xin who was sitting on the edge of the bed, held her hand, touched her face for a while, patted her hand for a while, and confirmed that she didn't stop, and finally smiled really: "Sure enough, it's Xin girl, I still think it's a dream." ”
Jin Xin looked at the old lady, she hadn't seen her for three years, and her loving grandmother looked much older than in the past, and when she said such a thing at this time, Jin Xin couldn't help but have some pantothenic acid in her eyes. I have to say that this old man is really very good to her, although the old man doesn't know that the soul that lives in this body is no longer her original granddaughter's, and all the good she gives is for her original granddaughter, but Jin Xin still feels unusually moved in her heart.
And himself, in order to avoid Yu Zijing for three years, ruthlessly cut off the contact with the old man of the Jin family, who only loves him, for so many years, he has never come to see or ask, it is really, too much!
Jin Xin looked at the old lady, and there was a slight cry in her voice: "Grandmother, I'm sorry, Xin'er is not filial, and she hasn't come to see her grandmother for three years." ”
"Xin girl, where have you been in the past three years?" The old lady looked at Jin Xin and asked seriously.
Jin Xin lowered her head slightly and didn't answer, but it could be seen that she couldn't help it.
Seeing her like that, the old lady sighed: "I don't know what happened between you and Zijing." But, girl, even if Zijing does something wrong, you have already married her, how can you just take the child and leave? is still so ruthless, it has been three years since he left, and in three years, there has been no news at all. Alas. You girl, you are obviously very smart, how can you be stubborn in some things, so that people don't know what to say. Anyway, even if you ignore Zijing's feelings, what's the matter, you have to think about me, an old man with half a foot in the ground, right? Do you know how worried I am about you? ”
Jin Xin listened to the old lady's words, and the apologies in his heart became more and more uncontrollable, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only lower his head and listen carefully.
However, the old lady had no intention of teaching her too much, and it was easy for people to come back, and she cared more about her life in the past few years.
Jin Xin didn't say anything specific, but just roughly said that he was doing well, living in a very good friend's house, everyone got along very well, and the children had grown up and were very obedient.
The old lady listened one by one, nodded her head constantly, with a somewhat relieved smile on her face, but when she thought of the relationship between her and Yu Zijing, she felt very regretful: "Alas, I don't know what went wrong between you and Zijing to force you to make such a move." ”
Jin Xin smiled: "Grandmother doesn't have to worry about me, just recuperate with peace of mind." ”
"How can you not be worried? Your father is not here, and few of your mother's family members really care about you, and if I don't care about this old woman, who will ...... in the future."
At the beginning, Jin Xin didn't say anything, and left quietly, after the old lady knew, she was very surprised, but she secretly blamed the people of the Jin family, only felt that such a big family, but didn't know how to love each other, all of them only cared about their own small portal face, and were indifferent to others, in this family, Jin Xin is undoubtedly the most distressing, in the second room, there is no one who can support her, and the people in the other rooms are indifferent. No one in the Jin family came out to speak for her, she was still talking in the nest, she was old, but she was not without any energy, and that little thing was all in her eyes, but after all, she was old, and she didn't have to talk about them.
It wasn't until Jin Xin left later that the old lady really got angry and blamed these people, it was too unhelpful! I was angry for a long time, and I saw that they were getting more and more dissatisfied.
At this time, in front of Jin Xin, the old lady said those words, undoubtedly to lose face to the daughters of the Jin family present.
Sure enough, everyone listened to the old lady's words, and their faces were a little unpleasant, but after all, they were the highest-ranking elders in the family, and no one dared to refute them, so they had to admit it with a calm face.
Jin Xin didn't expect him to leave so irresponsibly, this old lady is still protecting herself like this now, she is more and more moved, and her eyes are slightly red.
"Grandmother, Xin'er, thank you grandmother for your concern. But grandmother, your health is important, don't worry about Xin'er anymore, okay? After all, how sad it is. ”
The old lady looked at Jin Xin who was about to cry, it was also an accident, in the impression that Jin Xin has always been an indifferent calm and intelligent woman, and she is also very strong, she has never had too emotional side, how have you ever seen her cry so much?
"Okay, okay, grandmother doesn't ask."
The old lady couldn't see her like that, and immediately answered.
When Jin Xin heard this, he smiled with satisfaction: "Grandmother, that's good." ”
The old lady looked at her helplessly: "You, ......"
A room of people, looking at the intimate appearance of the grandparents and grandchildren, looked a little embarrassed, and felt that their savings here were very redundant, and they couldn't go, it was really like sitting on pins and needles.
Finally, the old lady was tired of talking and wanted to rest, so everyone dispersed one after another.
A group of people came out, but they didn't leave, they just stood at the door, and waited in unison.
Not long after, Jin Xin, who was walking at the back, came out, and everyone's eyes looked over.
Aunt Qin spoke up first: "Where did the fifth girl come from this time?" No matter how you come, don't say hello, let's all prepare to help you pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”
Jin Xin looked at the way Aunt Qin spoke, her face was full of smiles, and the meaning of her words made people listen to it half sarcastically and half concerned, and it was not easy to judge.
She smiled and said, "I heard that my grandmother was unwell, so I rushed to see it." Some are in a hurry, so I don't care about anything else, it's abrupt, if it scares everyone, I hope you will forgive me. As for catching the wind and washing the dust, it won't be, I'm just a little woman going back to her parents' house, even if it's a small wind and dust, it's too exciting. ”
Aunt Qin listened to Jin Xin's words, she always had a smile on her face, and nodded, not knowing what she felt in her heart.
On the side, Jin Zhao glanced at Jin Xin and asked, "When you come back this time, are you planning to go back to the General's Mansion?" ”
Jin Xin shook his head: "No." I came to see my grandmother. Maybe stay in Moon City for a few days, and you still have to leave after a while. ”
Jin Zhao frowned slightly: "What's the matter, General Tiance doesn't know that you're back?" ”
"Yes."
"Then he didn't let you go back?" This time, it was Jin Liu's question, and he looked very concerned, but he was really worried.
Jin Xin looked at her, smiled, and responded, "Yes." However, I was comfortable outside, and let me go back, but I was somehow uncomfortable, so I refused. ”
When Jin Liushi heard this, he felt that it was not very good: "Five girls, you are inevitably too willful." It's good that he's your husband, and it's not good for you to always do things against people like this. ”
“……”
Jin Xin looked at Jin Liu's and smiled without saying a word.
Jin Zhao asked, "Then where do you live now?" ”
"I bought a small house outside and lived there temporarily."
"Tut, the fifth sister is really powerful, and she is also very generous, but when she came back to live for a few days, she directly bought a small house to live in. It's said to be a small house, but I'm afraid it's a small house that ordinary people can't afford, right? ”
A yellow oriole-like voice sounded, obviously listening to it tactfully, but the content of the words was bitter and harsh, and it sounded very harsh.
Jin Xin followed the voice and looked over, and saw Jin Wan'er standing there, looking at herself with a provocative expression, with a little sneer in her eyes, looking at her as if she was looking at a joke.
Jin Xin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he hadn't seen her for three years, this Jin Wan'er's change was so amazing, although she had seen her humble and mean side in the past, but it didn't come to this point.
I can't help but feel a little helpless, what has this little girl experienced in the past few years?
"Why doesn't the fifth sister speak?"
Jin Wan'er saw that Jin Xin was just staring at her, and occasionally showed a quiet smile that made people feel uncertain, so she was a little weak-hearted, not knowing what she was thinking when she looked at herself, and the uneasiness also showed on her face, but she pretended to be calm and didn't want to show it.
Jin Xin looked at her like that, felt funny in his heart, smiled on his face, and said: "I only have money left now, in this case, even if I buy a house that is difficult for ordinary people to afford, what about it?" Isn't it just a matter of whether I'm happy or not? ”
Jin Wan'er obviously didn't expect Jin Xin to say such a thing, so she was immediately stunned.
Jin Xin smiled, and then said: "If you have such a ability, Eighth Sister, you will buy ten houses that others can't afford, Fifth Sister, I won't blink an eye, let alone say a word, after all, this is also Eighth Sister's ability, isn't it?" Why should you solemnly mention something that is taken for granted? ”
Jin Wan'er opened her mouth slightly, looked at Jin Xin's speech in surprise, and wanted to refute, but she couldn't find the words.
Several other people present were also stunned, they had never seen Jin Xin's attitude towards Jin Wan'er like this, in the past, wasn't the relationship between these two as good as wearing a skirt?
However, looking back on these years, Jin Wan'er has suffered all kinds of serious injuries to Jin Xin behind her back, and I feel that Jin Xin's attitude towards Jin Wan'er is also polite, and it is also Jin Wan'er's first provocation, and there is nothing wrong with Jin Xin doing this.
What everyone really thinks is that Jin Xin is a person, and it is too difficult for people to grasp it.
Jin Xin had no intention of entanglement with these people, and smiled: "It's rare to come back, I'd better go and see Aunt Zhao." I went first. ”
said, without waiting for everyone to react, he left first.
Jin Xin took Ziqin, and the two of them came to the courtyard where Jin Xin lived in the past.
Zhang's mother heard the news of Jin Xin's return from others early in the morning, and she was looking at the yard at this time, looking forward to waiting for her figure.
When he was still anxious, he really saw Jin Xin and Ziqin, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Miss! Ziqin! ”
Jin Xin saw Zhang's mother and smiled on his face: "Zhang's mother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zhang's mother pulled Jin Xin over, kept asking her to turn in circles, looked at her appearance, and frowned first: "Why do you look thinner than before?" ”
Jin Xin said funny: "Mother Zhang, are you sure that I am thin or not fat?" In the past few years, I have lived too comfortably, and I have obviously gained a lot of weight. ”
Zhang's mother said seriously: "Where is the fat?" Miss, you don't know yourself so well! You're so skinny! Not good! ”
Jin Xin looked at Zhang's mother's insistence, shook her head helplessly, smiled, but did not continue to investigate.
Ziqin stepped forward with a smile: "Mother Zhang, I know that you haven't seen your own young lady for a long time, it's rare to look forward to it this time, and there are many things you want to care about, but, how to say, you have to let our young lady go upstairs to meet Aunt Zhao first, right?" ”
When Zhang's mother heard Ziqin's words, she immediately understood, and patted her head: "Oh, look at my brain!" I'm so happy to see Miss, okay! Yes! Miss, don't delay with me, go over and meet Aunt Zhao! Although there is no ordinary mother-daughter relationship, after all, she is her own biological mother, no better than me, an old woman! ”
Jin Xin listened to Zhang's mother's words, smiled speechlessly, but still nodded, and was afraid that Zhang's mother would wait for him to come down, so he asked Zhang's mother to help make some of the pastries she liked to eat.
Ziqin looked at Zhang's mother's appearance, and said to Jin Xin with a smile: "Miss, Zhang's mother must have not seen Miss for many years, so happy!" Look at her, where have you ever seen her so happy before! ”
Jin Xin also agreed with Ziqin's point of view, nodded, and said, "It's true." ”
While the two were talking, they went to the attic.
Entering the house, Aunt Zhao was the only one left in the room, sitting cross-legged on the couch, with this Buddhist scripture on the table in front of her, holding a rosary in her hand, twisting them one by one, and chanting words in her mouth, clearly chanting the scriptures.
Jin Xin walked in softly, picked a chair on the side and sat down, didn't speak, just sat there, quietly watching Aunt Zhao reciting Buddhist scriptures, and couldn't help but think in her heart, in fact, there is nothing bad about thinking about Aunt Zhao's life, this is the life she chose, pure heart and few desires, although there is no great fun, but there is no great joy and sorrow, every day is leisurely, not too tossed, not too idle, but the heart is like water, and it is also a peaceful way of life.
She thinks that maybe when she reaches the age of Aunt Zhao, she may be like her, who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and starts to be a layman at home and live such a quiet life?
However, this is just a thought, and soon, she shook her head and denied her idea, always feeling that it was a little unimaginable to live such a life.
She is not a person who can live a peaceful life, every day, I can't wait to be busy every day, where can I be idle? That would only make her feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of the three years she spent in Longfeng Villa before, although she didn't meddle in business anymore, she did a lot of things, she developed a lot of cosmetics by herself, and often helped Zhang Yunxi take care of some things up and down Longfeng Villa, when there were many things, it was when she was very busy.
If it weren't for those busyness, she really felt that she would definitely not be able to hold on, and she couldn't help but return to the business field.
Just when Jin Xin was stunned, Aunt Zhao's chanting voice suddenly disappeared, and she finally noticed that there were suddenly two more people in the room, one was Jin Xin who was sitting there quietly and distracted, and the other was Ziqin who was standing quietly with Jin Xin.
The appearance of such two people in her house was somewhat surprising to Aunt Zhao, because, as early as three years ago, she heard that Jin Xin said goodbye without saying goodbye, and without saying a word to anyone, she disappeared with her child and disappeared under Yu Zijing's nose, and over the years, no matter how much effort Yu Zijing spent, she still failed to find her whereabouts. And now, this person whose whereabouts are unknown has appeared in her house, she doesn't even know when this person appeared, even if it is Aunt Zhao, she can't help but have some doubts.
Fortunately, she was very calm, although she was puzzled, she didn't have much reaction, just a calm and puzzled look, so calmly fell on Jin Xin's face, she didn't speak, and seemed to be waiting for her to take the initiative to explain.
Jin Xin slowly came back to her senses, only then did she realize that Aunt Zhao was not chanting, but looking at herself quietly, she was stunned, and then asked with a smile: "Have you finished chanting?" ”
Aunt Zhao didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "What, you're back?" ”
asked very calmly, and there was no ups and downs in love, but she asked Jin Xin that there was something warm in her heart that was growing little by little, she thought, she, as a mother, really still has her daughter in her heart, right?
Smiling, Jin Xin replied, "Yes, I'm back." I heard that my grandmother was not in good health, so I came to take a look. ”
Aunt Zhao nodded, and then asked, "Come back so blatantly, aren't you afraid that Yu Zijing will know?" Didn't you avoid him all the time, so you never got in touch with anyone you knew? ”
Jin Xin blinked in surprise, only then did he realize that his mother was an extremely smart person, and in a few words, she would immediately analyze all her circumstances clearly. I thought this was a person who didn't listen to things outside the window, but now that I think about it, I feel that maybe it's not really indifferent, but a lot of things, and I actually expected it in my heart, so I calmed down because of this, and never did superfluous exploration.
Jin Xin looked at Aunt Zhao and found that he might really know too little about this biological mother in the past.
She smiled, "It's okay, he knows I'm back." ”
Aunt Zhao's eyes moved slightly, as if she was very surprised, but after a while, she regained her calm.
Then, he said, "Well, that's it." So, are you going back to the General's Palace? ”
"Mother, how do you ask the same question as everyone else?" Jin Xin couldn't help but laugh.
Aunt Zhao was stunned, I don't know if it was her question or her "mother".
After a few moments, she answered, "Really? Everyone should be curious. ”
Jin Xin looked at Aunt Zhao quietly and nodded: "Well, I think, everyone is indeed very curious." However, I answered unequivocally that no. ”
“……”
Aunt Zhao looked at Jin Xin and didn't speak for a while.
"Mother, don't you ask me why? Why did I say goodbye back then, why did I say silent all these years, why did I suddenly choose to come back blatantly, you don't ask? ”
Aunt Zhao looked at Jin Xin for a long time before asking, "Does it make sense to ask these questions?" Your choice, who can interfere? ”
Jin Xin was shocked, and always felt that such words were not like Aunt Zhao could say, but after thinking about it, he felt that only Aunt Zhao could say these words.
She was silent for a long time, and suddenly, she burst out laughing and looked at Aunt Zhao: "It would be nice if everyone could be as transparent as you, and it would save me so much trouble, and I had to answer and explain one by one." ”
Aunt Zhao looked at Jin Xin and did not speak.
Jin Xin said again: "Mother, when I left, I was pregnant. ”
