Tightening his heavy clothes, Lin Long turned back to the house again, the sky was still dark, the candlelight in the room was lit, and the shadows reflected by it could be seen everywhere, such as geese and eyebrows waiting aside.

"Grandma, it's still a while before dawn, do you want to sleep for a while?" Ruyan asked.

Lin Long shook his head lightly, he was no longer sleepy at this time, "You guys go and rest for a while, I'll sit here." ”

"Grandma, the slave maid is waiting here......" Ru Mei said busily.

Lin Long waved his hand, "No, after dawn later, if your mother-in-law plans to go back, you still have to be busy, go to sleep, I don't need anyone to wait here." ”

Ruyan and Rumei were lawless, so they had to bow and retreat to the corner room to rest for a while.

Lin Long sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, casually flipping through the travelogue in her hand to pass the time, she wanted to calm her heart, otherwise she would not have the heart to do anything else, but she couldn't turn to the next page for a long time, obviously her mind was not on it at all.

She put away her books in a hurry, got up and walked to the window, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.

Ye Zhongshi had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, it was bright, and after freshening up, he asked the people around him, "Where's the uncle?" ”

"I will go back to the city at the fourth watch."

Hearing the answer from the people around him, Ye Zhongshi frowned, leaving so early?

She lifted the curtain and went out, and when she saw her daughter yawning and coming over, she felt a little distressed in her eyes, and stepped forward to hug her daughter, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

"Mother, didn't you say I'll go back today? It's not fun here, and I'm homesick. Ye Manzi said coquettishly.

When she first came, she was very excited, but after staying for a few days, she was very bored, and she couldn't find any fun in Zhuangzi, and because of the cold weather, there were very few people in Zhuangzi, and everyone didn't come out in Maodong, so she immediately disliked the desertion here.

It's just because she was clamoring to come with her at the beginning, so it's not good to urge her mother to go home quickly, and she dares to shout to go back when she waits for her mother to get things done.

Ye Zhongshi glanced at his daughter, "Who was clamoring to come with him?" I said that this Zhuangzi is nothing interesting, do you still believe it? Otherwise, in Beijing, your poetry club will have more gatherings, and you can have more fun. ”

"Mother, don't I regret it?" Ye Manzi relied on his young age, so he dared to show such a posture of a little daughter.

"You, give me some restraint, it's going to be a big girl next year." Ye Zhongshi was quite emotional when he said this, thinking that the situation of the eldest daughter and the banquet was still vivid, but now the mother and daughter are separated, and it is difficult to see each other again, and this good mood has reached the bottom again.

Ye Manzi saw that her mother's face sank, and she knew that her mother must be thinking of her eldest sister, so she also put away the delicate appearance of the little daughter, pulled her mother's sleeve, and said seriously: "Mother, you still have me, I will definitely not marry far away, I must marry in Beijing, so I am closer to you." ”

Ye Zhongshi saw that his daughter said this so solemnly, and thought of her being extremely well-behaved now, so his mood gradually improved again, "This time, people from other places come to ask to marry you, and I won't answer any of them." ”

One of the two daughters would always be kept by her side, she swore secretly.

As soon as the mother and daughter stepped into the dining room, they smelled the aroma of the food.

"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, morning, I have prepared breakfast." Lin Long hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.

Ye Zhongshi frowned, "Don't get up so early next time to prepare breakfast, you are still pregnant, you need to sleep more." "Looking at Lin Long's appearance, he has been up for a while.

"If it's out of the way, I can't sleep anyway, so it's better to go and prepare breakfast, and everyone can eat more richly." Lin Long didn't care much about the authenticity.

She has been in the door for so long, and Ye Zhong's family doesn't want her to set rules, she is already quite grateful, if she is a mother-in-law from another family, even if she doesn't have to go into the kitchen to prepare meals, she must stand beside her mother-in-law and serve tea and water, and wait for her mother-in-law to be comfortable, and then it is her turn to eat.

People are good to themselves, and they don't mention the springs in return, at least they must know their kindness.

Ye Zhongshi saw that her expression was not bad, so she sat down for breakfast with peace of mind, this meal was quite suitable for her appetite, so she used an extra bowl of porridge than usual, thinking that Lin Long's daughter-in-law had put her mind into it, and she was more satisfied with this daughter-in-law in her heart.

After wiping her mouth, she put down the handkerchief, looked at her daughter-in-law and daughter, and said, "I'll go back and let people pack up our things later, and we will start to rush to pick up the old lady, and then go home directly." ”

Ye Manzi got up happily and immediately went back to pack his luggage.

Lin Long couldn't sleep before, and as soon as the morning dawned, people had already packed their luggage, so there was no need to be busy with this, she planned to summon the new Zhuang Tou and others to give a few words, and mention it to Ye Zhong, Ye Zhongshi praised her for being careful.

When Ye Zhongshi left the dining room, he still pulled her and whispered, "You are still pregnant with a child, and I didn't let you husband and wife sleep in separate rooms, remember not to let Brother Yao go too far, and you husband and wife should also avoid taboos." ”

This was said vaguely, but Lin Long understood it, and his pretty face turned red as soon as he "brushed", and he lowered his head slightly and responded: "Hmm." ”

Ye Zhong knew that she was embarrassed, so she didn't say anything more, anyway, she didn't plan to give her son a concubine, so this problem would be solved by their husband and wife, I believe that this daughter-in-law still knows how to measure and will not let her son mess around.

Thinking like this, she patted Lin Long's hand with satisfaction, turned around and went back to pack her luggage.

There was not much luggage when he came, and there was not much when he went back, and the output of the Zhuangzi had been transported back to the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion or stored in the Zhuangzi before the winter, so as when he came, the masters drove out of the Zhuangzi quickly with a carriage, a big girl and a faceless grandmother.

Lin Long was a little sleepy when he got into the carriage, and fell asleep crookedly on the soft pillow.

Ye Zhong personally took the brocade quilt handed over by his grandmother and gently covered it for Lin Long, Ye Manzi suddenly turned his head and called, "Mother......"

As soon as he spoke, Ye Zhong gently "shh

Ye Manzi was busy silencing, and squeezed her eyebrows with her mother for a while, she knew that her mother was not bad to her sister-in-law, but she didn't expect it to be so good, and it was impossible not to be surprised.

Ye Zhongshi tapped on the top of his daughter's head, and said in a low voice: "Your sister-in-law is still pregnant with a child, I want to come and didn't sleep well last night, let her make up for sleep." ”

Ye Manzi knew that her eldest brother came over last night, but what does this have to do with her sister-in-law not sleeping well? She looked at her mother with big pure eyes, hoping that her mother would say that she was ugly, but her mother secretly coughed lightly, closed her eyes and recuperated, and didn't want to say anything to her at all.

She pursed her lips, what was the big deal, she didn't want to know that much.

When the carriage arrived at the Zhuangzi where Ye Zhong's family was, Lin Long woke up faintly, and he slept very sweetly all the way, and said in a hoarse voice: "Arrived?" ”

"Sister-in-law, we're going to get off the carriage." Ye Manzi reached out to pull Lin Long.

Lin Long was still a little dazed, and it took a while to come back to his senses, at this time Ye Zhong had already gotten out of the carriage and said to them: "Hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to return home before dark." ”

As soon as they heard this, the two sisters-in-law got out of the carriage faster.

The sudden arrival of Ye Zhong's family made the people in Zhuangzi who didn't get the news busy for a while.

Ye Zhong asked her youngest daughter to sit in the hall, and took Lin Long to the small Buddha hall where Ye Qin was chanting, she didn't expect Ye Qin to come out to see her because of her arrival, this mother-in-law was afraid that her neck would be long when she came, she thought mockingly.

The mother-in-law lifted the curtain, and she walked into the small Buddha hall surrounded by Buddha incense, and saw Ye Qin, who was dressed in brown winter clothes, respectfully chanting and turning the Buddha beads, and did not look back at her.

She curtsied, "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law has come to see you." ”

Ye Qin didn't seem to have heard of it, and was still chanting the scriptures and turning the Buddha beads.

Ye Zhongshi didn't care at all, so he got up and paced to the round chair on the side and sat down with his skirt lightly.

Lin Long glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were wrestling with each other, bent her knees, and saw Ye Zhong's eyes at her, she lowered her head and approached Ye Zhong's and sat in the chair designated by Ye Zhong's.

Ye Qin's family originally wanted to make it difficult for this hated daughter-in-law, but how did she know that the other party was sitting there drinking tea without pain, and the green tendons on her forehead jumped, showing that she was angry, and her teeth were sharpened, but she didn't open her mouth first to deal with the pretending mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After calmly taking a few sips of tea, Ye Zhongshi put the tea cup casually and said casually: "I remember that after the New Year, Sister Zhi will be eighteen years old." After a pause, "Sister Han and Sister Lian, who are about the same age as her, will be out of the cabinet next year, and the fourth brother and sister are quite satisfied with the background of this man's family......"

The sound of "ding dong" was endless, obviously the Buddha beads in Ye Qin's hands were torn off, and the beads were scattered on the ground.

Lin Long looked sideways, Ye Qin's mood fluctuated very much, and at this moment she finally understood where the seven inches Ye Zhong was talking about, and the leaf vines and branches that came out of these three rooms were Ye Qin's biggest heart disease.

I think that Ye Xiao's family was worried about their daughter's marriage at the beginning, but now it has been delayed for another two years, the youth of this daughter's family is limited, and if she doesn't go to the right in-law, it will be difficult to marry out in the second decade.

She secretly applauded her mother-in-law's actions, with this in her hands, can Ye Qin's family come up with new tricks?

Sure enough, Ye Qin's family could no longer pretend not to see, and was helped up by his grandmother, turned his head slightly raised to look at Ye Zhong's, his increasingly cloudy eyes were full of fierceness, but Ye Zhong's was unmoved, still calm and calm.

As if they were fighting against each other, the Ye Qin clan sat opposite Ye Zhong and Lin Long, and there seemed to be a border between the Chu River and the Han River.

"That's what you're here to tell me?"

Ye Zhongshi smiled coldly, "Definitely." ”

Ye Qinshi also smiled coldly, "That's right, you should be in a hurry, Ye Xukai marries a wife, and if I don't show up as a grandmother, I guess your face is not good-looking." ”

She knew that Ye Xukai had no share, and this grandson had secretly looked for her, hoping that she would help him return to the Hou Mansion, but she rejected him in one bite.

A grandson who is born out of a concubine has no use value in her eyes.

Even if this concubine successfully moves the three stumbling blocks of Ye Xuyao and his two sons, this title will not be Ye Xukai's turn, and then there will be Ye Xurong, if this is gone, it will naturally be her turn to be the fifth-room sister-in-law Ye Mingyi.

It's just that her fifth son is useless, and her own back house can't be handled well, so her children and Aunt Peng are now fighting fiercely, and she is a miserable miasma, and she is also a person with no great ability.

In fact, every time she thinks of this, she misses her third son, this is her heart, but she has no power to return to heaven.

There are too many twists and turns in the middle, and she really doesn't have so much energy to plan, no matter how bad the boss Ye Mingsui is, it will also crawl out of her stomach.

What she really hates is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her, without the two of them getting in the way, she wouldn't have been driven here, and she has completely counted this account on the heads of both of them.

Ye Zhong's understanding of the truth, Ye Qin's naturally knows, so her face did not change at all, "So I'm not here to invite my mother-in-law back to the house......

"What if I don't come back?" Ye Qin raised his eyebrows, "You think simply, if it weren't for your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sow discord, how would I have been assigned here?" Don't cry and fake mercy. ”

The corners of Ye Zhong's lips rose, "It's okay if you don't go back, I don't care about Sister Zhi'er's marriage, anyway, it's not my daughter, it doesn't matter if she wants to be on par with Zhou Zhiqing and Sun Siqi, it will be you who will embarrass you if she makes any moves, what does it have to do with me?" Daughter-in-law, let's go home. ”

She gestured to her feet and prepared to leave.

Lin Long also got up cooperatively, and followed his mother-in-law step by step.

Ye Qin's hand holding the chair handle was bulging, and he couldn't wait to cut these two hateful women with a thousand knives before he could vent the hatred in his heart. "Stop."

"Is there anything else for my mother-in-law to teach?" Ye Zhongshi looked back and smiled.

"Zhong, don't be so proud in front of me, I'm still your mother-in-law, your husband's mother-in-law......"

"I know, what else would I do here?"

Just one sentence made Ye Qin's anger enough.

After a long time, she suppressed her anger, "You said you would find a good marriage for Sister Zhi'er......"

"The premise is that you have to give me a share of An'an after you return home, and as soon as the marriage is completed, you will return to Zhuangzi to live, and you must not find an excuse to delay, otherwise I really don't care." Ye Zhong's said.

Ye Qinshi closed her eyes weakly, and when she opened her eyes again, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." ”

"Mother-in-law is a cheerful person."

Ye Zhong smiled and gave a high hat to Ye Qin.

Because they were in a hurry to go home, Ye Zhong's family didn't give them much time to pack their luggage, so they could only pick up the urgent ones.

When Ye Manzhi heard the news, he hurriedly went to find Ye Qin's family, lifted the curtain and went in to see his grandmother shouting and ordering someone to pack things, so he said anxiously: "Grandmother? ”

"Sister Zhi'er, it's good news, you hurry up and pack up the important things, and then let people send the rest to the house, don't delay......"

"Grandmother, are we really going home?"

Ye Manzhi still couldn't believe it, she thought that she was going to live here for the rest of her life, not that she was not in a hurry to get married, but what could she do? She can't look down on the men on the village, and she also looks at the sons and daughters of the big families, so she can only watch her flowering period pass year after year, but now it is another village? It's no wonder she still has doubts.

Ye Qinshi pulled his most beloved granddaughter to sit down, and her eyes were full of kindness at this time, "I made a deal with your eldest aunt, and after returning home, there will be less trouble, and I still have some old people who can be transferred to wait for you." After the beginning of spring, you will go to the banquet with her, take the opportunity to plan for yourself, and if you meet a good family, you will get married quickly. There were a few tears in his eyes, "I can't delay your flowering period any longer, my daughter's youth is limited, it's all because your father and mother are not angry, your brother is still in the army at the border, but you have a difficult marriage." ”

Ye Manzhi also had tears in his eyes, and hurriedly wiped his grandmother's tears with a handkerchief, "Grandmother, I know." ”

If it was really impulsive to act like that back then, she had lived here for two years, and she couldn't have thought about it anymore, her fingers clenched into fists, if she endured it at the beginning, she would marry into a high-ranking family first, and then try to take revenge.

didn't endure this breath, she put herself on the precipice, and now Lin Long is about to give birth to a second child.

"My sister Zhi has really grown up, then I am also relieved." Ye Qin's face was relieved.

The leaf vine seed in the hall was waiting impatiently, and said to her mother: "Mother, how long will you have to wait?" Why is it so slow? ”

"It should be soon, sister-in-law will sit down and drink another bowl of tea." Lin Long said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I drank so much that my stomach swelled, and the number of times I drank it would be convenient for a while would increase." Ye Manzi said with a bitter face.

She no longer has the dependence on this grandmother now, but is disgusted, this grandmother has never hurt her, what she really hurts is the children of the third room, fortunately, she woke up early, otherwise she would have become an abandoned child now.

Ye Zhong was about to say a few more words to his daughter, when he saw Ye Manzhi helping Ye Qin come in.

She also got up hurriedly, "Since everything is in order, let's go home, otherwise we won't be able to enter the city after dark." ”

Ye Qin's nodded, not arguing with Ye Zhong's on this trivial matter.

She took Ye Manzhi to sit in another carriage, and did not ride in the same carriage with Ye Zhong's mother-in-law and Ye Manzi, which clearly means that the two sides are afraid of each other, and the gap is very clear.

Ye Zhongshi didn't care, and when the assembly was completed, he ordered the coachman to set off.

The carriage procession of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion was quite spectacular, attracting many people in the village to watch secretly.

Finally leaving this unfortunate place, Ye Manzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then she must find a good marriage for herself, she secretly swore in her heart.

The sunset in winter is always very early, Lin Qi finished his work in the Jade Skin Workshop, and was about to get into the carriage and prepare to leave, when she saw Huo Yuan walking towards this direction, she stood in place, looked up at him and smiled: "Why are you here?" ”

This smile was extremely beautiful, against the backdrop of this snow-covered place, pure and moving, Huo Yuan's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and when he arrived in front of her, he turned over and fell off the horse, standing in front of her with a long figure.
