"A very honest person, besides, we have also received a lot of help from others over the years, Erniang forgot? How do you ask that? Lin Long pulled his hair and said casually.

Aunt Green was slightly stunned, glanced at Lin Long's unenlightened appearance, and felt a little anxious, Dr. Cao's family background is not outstanding, but which good mother-in-law's family can Lin Long be promised to now? After all, this is different from the past, after helping her wrap a colorful hairband around her hair, this little face has grown more and more beautiful, and she pulled Lin Long's shoulders and faced herself, "Sister Long, are you still sad about going out of Beijing back then?" ”

Lin Long looked at Aunt Green's eyes steadily, she would not forget what happened when she left Beijing until she died, and she could understand the hot and cold state of the world better than anyone else.

Before her death, her father promised her a family affair, and the other party was the son of Shen Hao, the right deputy of the Imperial Palace.

On the day of leaving Beijing, just three months after her father's funeral, the twelve-year-old was dressed in plain clothes and wearing white flowers and was about to get into the carriage and go to Suzhou, but someone hurriedly came to them and shouted: "But the people of the Lin Mansion?" Please stay. ”

The second uncle hurriedly stopped, turned around and bowed his hand and said, "It's Lin Gang below, I don't know what happened to Brother Tai?" ”

There were also several people riding horses behind the man, one of them was about fifteen years old, wearing a brocade robe and jade robe to make his face even more handsome, the young man patrolled the crowd, and immediately squinted at Lin Long, with a critical meaning in his eyes, and then pointed at the person who shouted to stop them, "Forgot what Mrs. ordered?" ”

The man willingly stepped forward and took out the marriage letter and tokens from his arms one by one and handed them to the second uncle, "You are the adult of this family, then I will tell you this matter directly, our wife intends to cancel the marriage with Lord Lin's daughter, this is the marriage book and butterfly jade pendant set back then, please return another marriage letter and token." ”

She stepped on the pedal of the carriage and knew the identity of this group of people as soon as she heard this, and her eyes immediately looked at the arrogant young man, who was she engaged to? Not long after her father died, he wanted to come to the door to withdraw from the marriage to humiliate her, and immediately bit his lip, and tasted a burst of blood in his mouth.

The second uncle's face was extremely ugly and blue and white, and after reading the hot marriage letter and tokens, he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it, this is a great humiliation for a family, "This is the marriage that my eldest brother engaged to your family before his death, and now my eldest brother has just gone, aren't you deceiving people too much?" ”

"Do you think that with such a family background, you are still worthy of being my wife? The Lin family is no longer what it used to be, and this marriage is no longer appropriate, so I advise you to return the marriage letter and tokens as soon as possible. The young man on the horse stared at the group of people in front of him, there was still a trace of warmth in his arrogant eyes, his eyes looked at Lin Long sharply, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "If you are reluctant to marry this marriage, then it's okay, just demote it to be my concubine, this is still my view of the old friendship between the two families." ”

Being a concubine?

He still said so arrogantly, what does this person think of himself? The fire in her eyes was already getting bigger and bigger.

Aunt Lu in the back said angrily: "Shen Gongzi has also read the book of sages, what kind of hero is the person who bullies and loses money now?" This marriage is set by the elders, and if you want to leave, please ask Lord Shen and his wife to come forward in person, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. ”

"So you're planning to rely on me?" The boy gritted his teeth, and even stepped forward, and the horse's hooves were raised high and almost kicked at them.

Aunt Green's face turned pale, and she reflexively hugged the nearest Lin Dong and Lin Qi in her arms, afraid that this beast would kick the young child.

Only she stood in place with her head held high, her eyes staring at the young man's eyes, she didn't hear the second uncle's chirping, she didn't want such a young man to be her husband, the horse's hooves were arrogant, but she moved the lotus step to approach him, not afraid of his threat at all, and trampled her to death in public if she had the ability.

"It's okay to get out of the marriage, but you need to get this token in person." She said calmly.

The young man squinted at her slightly, "Don't play tricks, I don't want to be laughed at by people for marrying a daughter who is in a broken household......"

She laughed out loud, then smiled, slightly raised her chin and interrupted his words of contempt for people, and said categorically, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"Okay."

The young man neatly dismounted and stood in front of her, with her height at the time, she had to look up to see his face, such a face and such a humiliation, she Lin Long wrote it down, took out the jade pendant that she had been wearing since she was a child, and didn't even look at it, that is, she reached out mercilessly and handed it to the young man standing in front of her, "The jade pendant is here." ”

The young man hurriedly looked at this piece of jade pendant that was engaged, and probably didn't expect her to agree to withdraw from the marriage so readily, his narrow eyes deliberately glanced at her, and he immediately reached out to retrieve the jade pendant.

Just when his slender fingers touched the jade pendant, the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, and as soon as her little hand was released, the jade pendant fell from her fingers and fell to the ground, fortunately, the ground was muddy, and the jade pendant was not broken, but this act itself was more embarrassing to the young man than smashing the jade.

"You!" The boy glanced at the jade pendant on the ground, and then looked up at her angrily.

She snorted lightly, "If you don't withdraw this marriage, I will also withdraw it, and it is not uncommon for a human girl like you to return." While the young man and the second uncle and others were stunned, she stepped forward and dragged the marriage book from the man's hand without even looking at it, and then tore it to pieces, as for the butterfly jade pendant, she looked at it and wanted to throw it away, but thinking that this thing is still worth a lot of money, I don't know what the situation is like in Suzhou? Then he stuffed it into his arms.

Thanks to the fact that he didn't smash the jade at that time, he also exchanged some silver taels for Brother Dong'er to see a doctor when he became a jade pendant in the future, so that the younger brother could get through the most dangerous days.

Turning around neatly, she carried her little brother into the carriage, urged Aunt Green and her little sister to get into the carriage, and after sitting down, she said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, let's go on the road when everyone is ready, otherwise we won't be able to get to the sharp ground." ”

The second uncle glanced at her, and he must have been angry at these people who humiliated the Lin family, so he didn't say a word and stepped into the carriage in front to lead the way.

When the carriage walked forward, she took Aunt Green to turn out the marriage book, opened the curtain of the car window with a "snap", and saw the young man looking at her with an iron face, she laughed very happily, and slowly tore open another marriage book in her hand, and saw the red piece of paper lying in the palm of her hand like the blood that flowed from the body, in the young man's expression of wanting to eat her, she maliciously threw the marriage book broken into countless pieces to the young man, and the wind blew it in the air.

"You and I will return to the bridge from now on, and the road will return to the road, Shen Gongzi, this girl will remember this humiliation, and he will repay him one day."

Now that I think about it, I was really young and vigorous at that time, and I would say such things before I got out of the identity of the daughter of the official family, just how to "repay" with her current situation, but at this time, she held Aunt Green's hand, and still said angrily: "Erniang, I will never forget this matter." ”

Aunt Green stroked her hair, "Sister Long, the matter has passed, as for the young master of the Shen family, you shouldn't take it to heart, I think that Dr. Cao seems to be a little interesting to you, seeing that you are all in time, the marriage has not yet been settled, and Erniang is anxious......"

"Erniang, how can I talk about marriage now? There are also Brother Dong and Qi'er to take care of, I can't leave them all on the bodies of Erniang and Mama to enjoy the happiness alone, the Cao family has only one medical hall, and they will definitely not agree to support you, so this matter will not be mentioned again. Lin Long said soberly.

She has been to Cao's pharmacy a few times to take medicine, Dr. Cao's mother looked at her with a look that made her uncomfortable, she was not stupid, she naturally understood that other people's mothers looked down on their own children and always paid on credit, she was the eldest sister in the family, and if she wanted to marry, she had to marry into a family that was willing to support her younger brothers and sisters.

When Aunt Green heard her words, her expression was bitter, Lin Long patted her hand, in fact, she didn't see the meaning in Dr. Cao's eyes, and there was only one explanation for being so good to her for no reason, that is, people took a fancy to her, but she had no intention of treating him, coupled with her own family background, the two had no future at all.

"Erniang doesn't need to think about it, the elders of the Cao family won't like me, so if there is no need to let Dr. Cao come in the future, the more favors I owe to others, the more difficult my heart will be." Lin Long said, and by the way, divided the more than one or two pieces of silver into three parts.

Doctor Cao in front waited for a long time for the beauty to appear, and hurriedly handed the medicine bag to Lin Long, and said with a smile: "This is a medicine against wind and cold, you quickly let Mama fry it and take it." ”

Lin Long smiled and handed it to Mama Su, instructed her to take it down and decoct the medicine, and then looked at the moisture of this honest man in his twenties, and his heart was not unmoved, but which family was willing to marry into the door with her family background? Still don't let him sink into the mud, so he smiled and took out a third of the broken silver that was smashed out and handed it to Dr. Cao, "This is the consultation fee and medicine money for this time, as well as the accounts of the last few times, Doctor Cao, you can accept it quickly." ”

Doctor Cao's face stiffened, but when he looked at her, his face turned red, "Miss Lin, you don't have enough money or take it back, the account ...... It's okay to take credit first......" I wanted to say that I was exempt, but thinking of this girl's arrogance, I changed my words again.

Lin Long's pretty face tightened, "Doctor Cao, do you look down on me?" If you refuse to accept this consultation fee, then I will not dare to ask a doctor to come to see Brother Dong in the future. ”

Seeing that she insisted, and was faintly angry, Dr. Cao accepted the consultation fee suddenly, and sighed secretly, he hinted several times that the girl was stunned and did not know his intentions, and her heart was inevitably melancholy. After a moment's stay, he took his leave and went back.

Aunt Green volunteered to send him out, both of them were silent along the way, Dr. Cao's heart was depressed, he liked Lin Long at first sight, three years, watching her green face slowly grow, and gradually turned into a delicate flower.

Sending Dr. Cao out of the door, when Aunt Green turned around to leave, she still asked Dr. Cao to stay after thinking for a long time, and saw the puzzlement in his eyes, so she said: "Doctor Cao, I know your heart for Sister Long." Seeing that the other party's face turned red against the background of the lantern, this man was really innocent, "Doctor Cao, don't be embarrassed, in fact, as long as you can persuade the elders in the family to agree to come to propose, Sister Long will take care of me." ”

Doctor Cao's face was happy when he heard this, "Really? ”

Aunt Green nodded, if this man can become Lin Long's husband, he will definitely be good to her, as long as that girl can be happy, she is willing to help behind the scenes.

Doctor Cao got her nod, immediately smiled, and hurriedly said, "I'll go back and mention it to the elders." He turned around and ran back quickly.

Aunt Green just watched the man walk away with a smile, hoping that she could find a good marriage for Lin Long.
