Follow-up (forty-eighth) bad news
"We all have bodies and still cry like this, if our daughter has a mistake, won't my brother-in-law feel guilty if he knows it one day?" Ye Xuyao helplessly patted Lin Long's back.
Lin Long slowly stopped crying, and couldn't help but glance at her husband, before this belly was pregnant, he called one girl after another, and she felt that if this baby didn't give birth to a daughter, he would be stunned.
"My uncle is right, when a woman has a body, she must pay great attention to it, and everything should be focused on children." Lin Lushi on the side also hurriedly stopped her tears and said, looking at Lin Long's belly, she felt that life was very beautiful, although she had never given birth to a son and a half daughter.
Lin Long listened to his second mother's chatter, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Quan Meihuan also hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her daughter into the carriage, "Your second mother is right, you should pay attention to it or pay attention, my mother is now looking forward to your baby going smoothly, of course, and your younger brothers and sisters can also go smoothly, even if I fast and vegetarian every day, I am willing to eat." ”
Just because her second daughter was about to give birth, she didn't let Lin Qi come to see her off, Huo Yuan watched Lin Qi closely, don't let her sneak out of the house and have a mistake, she is now 10,000 interested in her children.
Of course, Huo Yuan agreed with Quan Meihuan on this point, looking at his wife's big belly, he was also very worried that his wife would go out to see off his brother-in-law, and he asked for leave early to go home to accompany the birth.
He is not as many heirs as Ye Xuyao, and now he has finally added a second one, so he is naturally careful and careful.
Maybe she once went the wrong way, but now she just wants to do everything she can to make up for it.
Lin Long patted his stomach proudly, "Mother, don't worry, I gave birth to six boys, can you still pay attention?" ”
Ye Xuyao frowned and grabbed her hand quickly, "How can you be a mother like this?" ”
What should I do if I hurt my stomach?
His eyes were full of reproach.
Lin Long knew that he was wrong, so he could only smile at him flatteringly.
Lin Lushi and Quan Meihuan glanced at each other, and then patted their chests with relief, even if a woman gives birth to more, it is difficult to guarantee that the next child will not encounter dystocia, it seems that Lin Long will have to talk about Lin Long in the future.
Lin Long didn't know that she was about to usher in two Buddhas, and suddenly seemed to see a familiar face in a hidden place, and she immediately paused when she got into the carriage.
Blinked her eyes and looked over carefully, the face was gone again, it was really strange, her strange expression attracted Ye Xuyao's attention, and she followed her gaze, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Lin Long shook her head, probably because she was dazzled.
If Gu Jing from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion really came to see off her brother, how could he hide and not see anyone? Besides, since Gu Xuefei's death, there has not been much contact between the two families, and the friendship between Lin Dong and Gu Jing is only average.
Gu Jing, who was hiding in the shadows, was holding his sister's arm in his hand, looking at his sister with red and swollen eyes, he felt sad and weak, "Little sister, why are you so troubled?" ”
I came to see him off, but I couldn't show my face, and I could only suffer myself?
If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, I was afraid that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou would have discovered the clues here, wouldn't it be that the flat land would make waves again?
Neng Jing opened his red and swollen eyes, "He wants to travel far away, I want to send him off, even if it is ......"
Even if she could only hide and look at her from a distance, she was content.
What the world is most afraid of is the lingering feelings of infatuated children and resentful daughters, Gu Jing is both angry and helpless, "Go back." ”
Pulling his sister and about to leave, Neng Jing grabbed his brother's shirt, "Brother, he's going to be fine, right?" ”
Gu Jing sneered, "People have two powerful brothers-in-law, can they have a comprehensive strategy?" Don't worry about it, he will definitely be able to return safely, otherwise how would his two sisters rest assured that he would leave Beijing? ”
"That's good, it's just such a dangerous place, why should he be a scholar to take this errand?" can be quiet and incomprehensible, not only reassuring that Ailang is traveling far away, but also can't help but blame a little.
Isn't this just worrying the people around you?
Gu Jing looked at his sister solemnly, "Wealth and danger, if I don't have my parents and you in my family, I will definitely have to fight for this future, in this regard, Lin Dong is more ruthless than me, but it makes me look at each other." ”
His parents are here, he is not far away, he abides by this ancient precept, but Lin Dong can ruthlessly leave all this to earn a fame and future, he is indeed a ruthless person, he really looked away before.
Neng Jing's eyes flashed, "I knew that he would definitely get ahead one day, and then he would be able to marry a beautiful lady who was satisfactory and have children, and he would have children and grand......children."
Speaking of this, the tears involuntarily flowed down the delicate face.
Gu Jing took the handkerchief with an irritable face but gently wiped the tears from his sister's face, "If you do what your mother says, then he will share half of his future honors with you, you have chosen such a path, what's the use of crying now?" ”
Although the tone is reproachful, the action is extremely painful.
Neng Jing reached out and hugged her brother's arm, and said with a poignant smile: "He will always remember my goodness, and I will be content." ”
She didn't want to see Lin Dong's eyes that hated her, and besides, she also had selfish intentions, even if Lin Dong was full of children and grandchildren in the future, and his wife and concubines were in his arms, he would always have a place for her in the deepest part of his heart, which his future woman could not erase.
She will be the eternal cinnabar mole in his heart, the bright moonlight in front of the bed.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, Gu Jing said that he would never be able to understand a creature like a woman.
Lin Dong is traveling, and the women of the Lin family have to remember his food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, and if they receive his letter, they will be overjoyed, and Lin Qi will give birth during the New Year.
When Lin Long received the news, he was receiving the ladies who came from various provinces to pay New Year's greetings, this is the homework that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou must do every year, since Ye Zhong's family didn't care about it, all this fell on her head.
She hurriedly instructed people to prepare a carriage and put on a robe, and then apologized to the ladies of the nobles, "I'm really sorry, the sister chose to give birth at this time, I won't go over to see where I can rest assured, and I will make amends to everyone another day......
"Mrs. Xiangyang Hou is busy first, Mrs. Huo's birth is a big deal, we will come to visit another day." There is that person who is busy saying a few good words, who in the whole capital doesn't know that these two sisters have a very good relationship, how can they be so concerned about other sisters?
"That's right, Madame hurry up, don't let Mrs. Huo wait for a long time, I'll leave by myself......"
“……”
Although she knew that the relationship between these people and her was just an ordinary relationship, and she was offended by her own identity when she said these things, she never liked to let people talk behind her back, so Lin Long had to say a few more polite words.
Only then did he leave a group of guests and hurried to Huo's house.
Huo Yuan was still pacing back and forth in front of the delivery room, and Lin Long was busy saying to the brother-in-law when he arrived, "Did you give birth?" ”
"Not yet." Huo Yuan said with an irritated expression, looking at the blood brought out by the maid, his heart rose to his throat again.
Lin Long hurriedly comforted, "I'll go in and take a look, don't worry too much, this is the second child, and it will definitely be able to give birth smoothly." ”
Huo Yuan nodded.
Lin Long was about to lift the curtain and go in, when she saw the maid holding Huo Yi and about to come over, she hurriedly said to the maid, "Hold Brother Yi and play elsewhere, there is a lot of blood here, don't frighten Brother." ”
Huo Yuan noticed that his eldest son was staring at the delivery room with his eyes tight, so he tried to relax his facial expression, and reached out to rub his son's head, "Go find your grandfather, and Dad will pick you up later." ”
"Mother......" Huo Yi knew that his mother was inside.
"Later, my mother will add a younger brother to Brother Yi'er, and Brother Yi will go to find my grandfather first." Lin Long said busily, even if he didn't like Huo Yan anymore, he had to admit that Huo Yan was also very fond of this grandson.
After getting his aunt's words, Huo Yi's little face reappeared with a smile, and he nodded heavily at Lin Long and Huo Yuan, and then the maid took him to play with his grandfather.
Huo Yan came to wait for a while, and saw that Lin Qi was not alive yet, so he went back first.
Lin Long lifted the curtain and went in with confidence, Quan Meihuan and Lin Lushi were assisting Wen Po to deliver Lin Qi, and at this moment, Wen Po exclaimed, "Born, born, it's a brother......
When Lin Long heard that he was a leader, he immediately took a step, thinking that Huo Yuan was a military general, and it was a good thing to have more sons, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
Quan Meihuan has been hugging her grandson and looking at it with a smile for a long time, and Lin Lushi has also watched it for a long time, every time this newborn looks at it, she feels that life is wonderful.
Neither of them noticed Lin Long's arrival, until she spoke up, "This brother looks like Qi'er." ”
"It's good to be like a mother." Kwon Mi-hwan said happily.
"When did you come?" Lin Lu was busy pulling Lin Long Dao.
"As soon as I arrived, I saw that Qi'er was born, and I thought it would take a little more time, but this is a good birth, so I quickly took the child out to the father to see, so as to save him anxiety." Lin Long rarely said a good word for Huo Yuan.
"That's as it should be." Quan Meihuan didn't care about dealing with this stepson and son-in-law, so she immediately relented, and went out with the child in person.
"My mother is really happy, I didn't see her so happy when Brother Yi was born." Lin Long smiled with emotion.
"Of course, with this child, Sister Qi'er's position is more stable, which one is not at ease when she is a mother? You had two children at the beginning, and your mother and I were also very happy, so who would dare to stuff a woman next to my uncle? Lin Lu said with a smile.
Although the Huo family is not as many ghosts and snakes as the Ye family, there are still some people who can't help but want to make waves, and the Huo Zhou family, who can't speak, will inevitably be used as a raft by some people, of course, now that the people around her are replaced by Lin Qi's cronies, how can she still give her the opportunity to make waves?
Lin Long knew that although the Huo family only had Huo Yuan's only son, there were still a few concubines who had married one after another over the years, and these daughters were naturally low-brow and pleasing to the eyes when they were in the mansion before, but after they got married, they showed their true colors one by one.
When he went back to his parents' house to ask Lin Qi to give her husband's benefits and was refused, he would inevitably think of some crooked ways, such as thinking of creating an affair for his brother-in-law, thinking that if a woman could hook Huo Yuan's soul and blow the pillow wind, they could also get some benefits.
Of course, these thoughts naturally failed to be realized, and Lin Qi was even more angry when he found out, and ordered them not to return to their parents' house, and the concubines stopped.
Quan Meihuan even scolded a group of white-eyed wolves, when she was down, a few of these concubines dared to show her face, but then she changed, Huo Yan couldn't suppress her, and the concubines who took the lead were just Xiaofu, and she didn't pursue it anymore. When they reach the age to talk about family affairs, there is no bad heart to point out bad marriages, which one is not to let them go out of the cabinet smoothly?
How do you know that kindness in exchange for such a return, immediately no longer care what kind of life they live in their in-laws' house, even if they come back to cry, they will all send it out.
At the beginning, Huo Yan had an opinion, so she had a big quarrel with Huo Yan, and the matter was over.
Huo Yan's feelings for the concubine are only average, he used to raise food and stool when he was around, but now he has become someone else's family out of the cabinet, so he naturally let go of his hand, saving him from making the house restless for a few concubines.
Now that Lin Qi has added Lin'er, Huo Yan is no longer satisfied with this daughter-in-law and does not dare to complain, and immediately sent someone to report the good news to the clansmen to share his happiness, and is busy leading the eldest grandson to incense his ancestors, in short, he is now smiling from ear to ear.
At his age, the scenery has also been beautiful, and he has been down-and-out, and he no longer asks for titles or anything, but only wants his children and grandchildren to get ahead in the future, and he is satisfied.
When he saw Quan Meihuan again, he rarely held Quan Meihuan's hand, "Don't toss the two of us anymore, it's right or wrong all these years, isn't it a companion when you're old?" Meihuan, let's live the rest of our lives well, okay? ”
Quan Meihuan looked at the man in front of her, listening to what he said, she couldn't help but be stunned, and for a moment, she seemed to see that the man who made her heart pound back then was no longer the dirty and hateful appearance of these years.
"Seriously?"
"Of course it's true."
Huo Yan also thought clearly, anyway, now that the daughter of the Lin family has become his daughter-in-law, what does he still earn with Lin Ze's dead ghost, I think he couldn't think about it a few years ago.
If he could have figured this out when he was still in the limelight, maybe he and Quan Meihuan would not have become a couple of resentful couples, but there is no if in life, just as he failed to prevent his daughter's willfulness from losing the title.
Quan Meihuan is just a woman after all, Huo Yan softened, she also wanted to live a good life with him, as for the deceased husband Lin Ze, it was an account that could only be calculated after death in the underworld, and then she would ask him for guilt.
So when Lin Long came to visit her sister, she suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of harmony between her mother and stepfather.
"Are they giving up their old suspicions?" She pouted secretly.
Lin Qi held his youngest son in his arms and teased, and said indifferently when he heard the words, "You're all old, what are you making a fuss about?" It wasn't she who had to remarry Huo Yan if she wanted to die or live, but yes, they didn't make trouble, and my ears were quiet. ”
"That's right." Lin Long also stretched out his hand to tease the newly added little nephew, so he no longer paid attention to the matter, "Most of my life has passed, and the past will disappear with the wind." ”
Even if she is still unworthy of being a biological father, so what? The people are gone, but the living still have to look forward.
Besides, if Huo Yan, this old thing, can be kind to her mother, she can also look at him.
Lin Qi was slightly stunned, and suddenly knew that the eldest sister was not very comfortable, so he said again, "Who told my father to die early, how good it would be if he could live until now." ”
"Stop talking stupid." Lin Long patted his sister's hand.
Lin Qi sighed and said, "I don't remember what my father looked like now, when he left, I was still young at that time......
Lin Long listened to her sister's emotional words, and missed her father even more, she was older than her sister at that time, and naturally remembered her father's dying appearance. After speaking, he wiped the tears welling up in his eyes again, "Don't talk about this anymore, and when you have the opportunity to go back to his old man's grave." ”
Since she had this dream when she was born as a child in that year, she never forgot to go back to Suzhou to sweep her father's grave, but there were many trivial matters here, and this wish could only be postponed again and again.
"Hmm." Lin Qi also wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, "It's up to her to do my mother's business." ”
Lin Long nodded, in fact, she didn't have any objections, but she was still a little uneasy.
Quan Meihuan saw that her eldest daughter didn't say anything, so she dared to reappear in front of her daughter, she was not confident enough to be a mother after all.
When Lin Long left, he looked at the mother who saw him off, and still said, "If he still bullies you, just say it, don't bear it, we will support you." ”
Quan Meihuan was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded excitedly, "I know, and I'm not afraid of him." ”
For Huo Yan to wash the new face now, she doesn't completely believe that when she first remarried, Huo Yan was also very good to her, but people's hearts are fickle, who knows when he will change again?
Lin Long saw that she knew in her heart, so she was a little relieved, and was helped by the maid to get into the carriage and go home.
As soon as she returned to the house, she saw that her brother-in-law Su Miaojue was in a hurry to send someone to the Huo family to find her, she hurriedly grabbed the hand of the brother-in-law and said, "What's wrong?" In such a hurry to send someone to find me? ”
"Sister-in-law, something happened, just now the Zhong family came to report that her grandmother was ......" Su Miaojue said this, and couldn't help crying.
Lin Long noticed that her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had already cried before, and immediately her heart sank, and she had a bad premonition, so she could only ask first: "Brother and sister, don't cry first, what's wrong with grandmother?" ”
"Grandmother she...... She went to ......"
After Su Miaojue finished speaking, she couldn't help crying.
At that time, when the mourners from the Shenwu Marquis Mansion arrived, she was talking with Ye Zhong's family, and the two of them were happy when they said that Lin Long was pregnant and wanted to add another Ding to the mansion, and Ye Zhong's family also ordered people to start making the villain's clothes now, who knew that there would be such bad news falling from the sky, Ye Zhong's couldn't accept it on the spot and fainted.
Su Miaojue was busy ordering someone to invite the house doctor to come over, and it was among the people who pinched Ye Zhong's family to wake her up, in short, she was very busy.
When Ye Zhong's faintly woke up, thinking of his mother's death, he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood and cried, "Mother...... Why did you leave like this......"
Su Miaojue saw her mother-in-law sad, and she also cried.
Ye Zhongshi cried and cried, and suddenly remembered that when his mother was seriously ill, although the imperial doctor said that it was difficult to cure it, it should be no big problem after this winter, and now it is worthy of the New Year, and the Lantern Festival has not even arrived, how can you say that it is gone?
Her face was horrified at that time, after all, she was the former housewife, and she soon made up her mind that she must go back to her mother's house to ask for a clear understanding no matter what, and she could not let her mother die in vain.
Her so-called eldest brother has no blood relationship with her mother, how can she really care about her mother's life and death? At most, it's just a couple of words.
After thinking about this stake, she didn't care about crying, and immediately prepared a carriage, and then told her little daughter-in-law to look after the house, and hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed back to her parents' house.
