Chapter 292: Obstruction
After Lin Qi tidied up her makeup and didn't seem to have any major problems, she turned back to the original room, only to see the eldest sister sitting there, so she glanced at her, "What about her?"
"I'm back." Lin Long beckoned to his sister.
Lin Qi was relieved when he saw that his biological mother was not there, and hurriedly jumped in front of the eldest sister, "Sister." ”
Lin Long pulled his sister to sit down, stroked her hair and said: "Qi'er, I know that Huo Yuan's engagement makes you very sad, but my sister hopes that you can come out, after all, your fate with him is limited, and my sister also knows that he saved you, and it is understandable that your love for him has deepened in your heart, this is human nature, don't be too yourself." Seeing her sister's sad expression and hanging her head slightly, she sighed again, "Also, don't learn from her, you are not in the mood to talk about marriage now, and my sister will not force you, but the boudoir of your daughter's family is limited, so you can clean up your mood ......"
"Sister, I understand, don't worry, I won't learn from her to find a man to marry, and then harm others." Lin Qi said busily.
She has a lot of complaints about her mother's two marriages, and when she thinks of the death of her biological father, her complaint against her biological mother is deeper.
Lin Long looked at his sensible sister, and only felt bitter in his mouth.
The two sisters talked for a while, and when they saw Lin Lu and Wang Zhou, who were smiling, walk in, they stopped the topic just now and discussed with Wang Zhou the gains and losses of the first day of opening.
The sky was getting dark, and Ye Xuyao personally came to pick up Lin Long and return home.
When Lin Long got into the carriage, he also shook his sister's hand to show comfort, which made Lin Qi's heart feel a burst of warmth, and after the emotional injury, there was also the comfort of his family, and he instantly felt that his heart was healed a lot.
"Sister Long, hurry back, I guess the brothers want to think about it, and it took a long time to come out." Lin Lu hurriedly urged her to return home.
Lin Long got into the carriage at this time, but he still raised the curtain of the carriage uncomfortably and ordered, "Don't delay, take the previous carriage back, and Qi'er don't think nonsense......"
"Why is it getting more and more verbose?" Ye Xuyao hurriedly pulled his wife inside, and told the coachman to get up, "If you keep talking, everyone doesn't have to go." ”
Lin Long glanced at her husband dissatisfied, and then thought that she seemed to be too worried, and sighed: "Do you think I did something wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Xuyao saw his wife's gloomy expression, and hurriedly hugged her waist, reached out to lift her chin, and frowned and asked.
Lin Long pushed his hand away, and then rested her head on his shoulder, in front of him, she didn't need to hold up the demeanor of the eldest sister, after all, the sky fell and he was still carrying it, "I mean Qi'er and Huo Yuan, husband, have I become the queen mother who broke up the cowherd and the weaver girl?" I won't tell you anything, looking at them like this, my heart is really uncomfortable, but when I think of the Huo family, how can I rest assured that I will hand over Qi'er to Huo Yuan?"
She knew that Huo Yuan was more reliable than his bastard father, but the Huo family was not only Huo Yuan, but also Huo Zhou's bastard grandmother, plus her own mother's confusion, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't let go of her consent to this marriage.
Ye Xuyao looked at his wife with a distressed face, strictly speaking, he and his wife have one thing in common, that is, they both have to bear a court, it's just a matter of responsibility, so he can understand his wife's distress, "You have to believe in the ability of your sister-in-law, lady, I think you underestimate Lin Qi too much." ”
Lin Long suddenly raised her head and looked at her husband in surprise, "What does this mean?"
"It means that you are too big a bag, your sister-in-law is not as fragile as you think, and she is not easy to suffer, yes, she often gets into trouble, but she is self-aware, you should believe that your sister has the ability to deal with the problems in her marriage." Ye Xuyao patiently pointed out the crux of his wife's problem.
No one had ever said this to Lin Long, Lin Long's expression gradually tightened, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.
Ye Xuyao looked at her like this, and gently grabbed her waist with a gentle expression, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with the other hand, "I didn't say this to sting your heart, lady, everyone has their own problems that they have to face, even if the sister-in-law and Huo Yuan can't get married today, is it hard to guarantee that she won't encounter other problems when she gets married?" It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. A soothing kiss fell on her forehead, "You have to learn to trust your sister-in-law." ”
These words had a certain impact on Lin Long, in fact, she was also a little aware that she was thinking too much and complicating the problem, her sister's hurt appearance appeared in front of her again, and her eyes were slightly covered with a layer of mist, in order not to worry their families, in fact, her sister had been saying that she was very good with a smile, thinking about it, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Ye Xuyao didn't speak again, just hugged her so quietly, some things had to wait for her to turn the corner by herself, and there was no benefit for external forces to impose on her.
Outside was a noisy sunset evening homecoming, accompanied by the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, Lin Long couldn't help but shrink even more towards the heat source around her, or she really thought too much.
When the carriage drove into the gate of the Xiangyang Marquis's Mansion, she pulled up her spirits and withdrew from her husband's safe fortress, "Let's take a look." ”
There are only four words with unknown meanings, but with the understanding of Ye Xuyao and Lin Long as husband and wife for two years, he knows that his wife is no longer entangled, "Really figured it out?"
Lin Long smiled, "I have to take another look." ”
Ye Xuyao stroked his wife's face, "It's good to figure it out, the sky can't fall, and the mediocre people will disturb themselves." ”
"I know." Lin Long responded, looking at her husband with beautiful eyes, "I know that your relationship with him is confusing, but you are not allowed to reveal a word to him, if he has the courage to ask, I will give him a chance to express himself." ”
"Okay." Ye Xuyao smiled indifferently.
Lin Long looked like she let him go, and said that she had a hostile relationship with Huo Yuan, looking at his posture of speaking for him, it was difficult for her not to doubt it. But now that Huo Yuan is engaged, she wants to see what he can do for her sister, after all, the Zhou family is willing to marry the Huo family this week, and this marriage is definitely not so easy to get rid of.
But now she doesn't want to discuss Huo Yuan, her heart to see her son has already risen to her throat, and the loveliest person in the world is her son.
When Quan Meihuan returned to the Huo family, she heard about the quarrel between her ancestors and grandchildren, and was immediately taken aback, grabbing the maid Xiaohong and asking, "The old lady was really fainted?"
"Mrs., you don't know if you're not at home, it's true, the old lady and the uncle quarreled quite much, I heard that it was for the Zhou family to withdraw from the marriage, the old lady didn't allow it, the uncle had to insist on ......" Xiaohong painted and learned the scene in the hall.
Quan Meihuan's eyes rolled, so the marriage of the Huo Zhou family is over?
Thinking about it like this, the whole person suddenly felt bad, although the eldest daughter said that she was in charge of crossing the line, and the younger daughter was disrespectful, but she really couldn't watch the younger daughter fall into Huo Yuan's place, this Huo Yuan is definitely not as good as the eldest daughter, she has been a stepmother and son with him for so many years, how can she not know more than the eldest daughter?
Thinking about this and being hurt by the words of her two daughters, she didn't sleep well all night, and when she woke up in the morning, she still had two dark circles under her eyes.
After breakfast, she turned around and went to Huo Yan's temporary room, since she stabbed Huo Yan with scissors that day, the husband and wife have completely fallen into a cold war, under the same roof, but no one is seen.
Huo Yan raised his eyes and saw his wife coming, but he was actually taken aback, this sun rose from the west?" What's the wind blowing today?"
Quan Meihuan sat on the side of the Huoyan dining table with a stern expression and waved the subordinates back.
"I let them go, who will serve me?" Huo Yan looked at his wife unhappily.
Quan Meihuan brought a lot of dishes to him with a straight face, and it was best to eat to death for him, "Brother Yuan'er and the girl of the Zhou family are really blowing?"
Huo Yan took a bite of the dish and raised his eyebrows to look at her, "I knew that you would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing......"
"Do you have this nonsense, or do you really want to see the two of them succeed? Where will you and I put our face when the time comes? Really become a family of sons and daughters?" Quan Meihuan really couldn't imagine what Huo Yuan would look like when he became her son-in-law, and her whole body shivered just thinking about it, which was really terrifying.
Not to mention that Quan Meihuan couldn't accept it, Huo Yan was also unacceptable, and his natural dislike for the Lin family's daughter made him unable to overcome this mental obstacle, so he said viciously: "There won't be such a day."
"You said no, no, now it's clear that we can't beat them." Kwon Mi-huan sneered and demolished his platform.
Huo Yan viciously grabbed a chopstick and chewed it vigorously, and for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what good way do you have to tell me."
"What good way can I do, as long as one of the two of them becomes a relative, these two will not get together, and my eldest daughter will not agree to let Sister Qi make someone small." Quan Meihuan said, "Brother Yuan'er and the daughter of the Zhou family can't end up here. ”
Sensei said that Lin Long, even her, would not agree to Lin Qi as a concubine and serve as a little Fuyi. The eldest daughter didn't let her interfere, that's good, she is the wife of the Huo family, take care of Huo Yuan, this is the countermeasure she came up with after thinking about it for a while. How can the mother and daughter have an overnight feud, she really doesn't want her little daughter to be laughed at, so Huo Yuan's marriage must be successful.
When Huo Yan heard his wife's words, he immediately thought about it, "Brother Yuan is not easy to convince......
"The order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, does he really want to carry a reputation for unfilial piety?" Kwon Mi-hwan sneered.
Huo Yan thought about it while eating vegetables, and then his eyes fell on his wife, "I have promised not to force him, this is a marriage of children, and it is not good for me to be a father." ”
He looked at Kwon Mi-huan meaningfully.
Quan Meihuan instantly realized that her father was not good at coming forward, so naturally it was the female dependents who appeared, that is to say, she had the title of Huo Yuan's stepmother, and it was very suitable for her to come forward to talk about this family matter, and suddenly she also smiled on her face, and gave Huo Yan another round of dishes, "You eat slowly, I'll go to my mother-in-law's room." ”
With that, she quickly got up and left.
Huo Yan ate a delicious breakfast, he hadn't been so appetizing for a long time, and at this time he was not worried that his wife and mother would conflict again, after all, their wants were quite the same.
When Quan Meihuan arrived, Huo Zhou's was cold-eyed and disliked, but when she opened her mouth and said that she would run for Huo Yuan and Zhou Zhiqing's marriage, she suddenly felt that her daughter-in-law was pleasing to the eye again, and her mood was relaxed, and her crooked facial features suddenly seemed not so crooked.
Although she couldn't speak, she could still make eyes, and the two could communicate without barriers.
Poor Huo Yuan, he thought that after yesterday's strong resistance, his grandmother and father should have dismissed their minds, so they didn't take this matter to heart anymore, but in order to be able to forget their emotions and put all their energy on business, which made Xiao Fulin miserable.
It's just that after two rounds of interrogation by the three divisions, Xiao Fulin couldn't bear it, and confessed to many crimes he committed or imposed on him, and the secret letters in his study were exposed one by one, which made it even more difficult to argue.
Huo Yuan personally led someone to raid the Xiao family, and Xiao Liu's family watched the huge mansion collapse in an instant, and his face was like ashes, and he immediately vomited blood and fainted.
Because his son was still in prison, Xiao Liu didn't dare to spread rumors at all, and he was very worried, so he became seriously ill at once.
Xiao Fulin, who was in prison, didn't know that the old lady was critically ill, and at this moment he was regretting why he provoked Huo Yuan's evil star, Lin Qi was not so good, so good that his family was ruined.
When Huo Yuan was the busiest, after discussing with Huo Zhou's family, Quan Meihuan visited Zhou's house and personally sent gifts to apologize.
Zhou Lou met Quan Meihuan in the warm pavilion, and he didn't look at the gift she brought, and glanced at Quan Meihuan with a proud face, she was not interested in this cousin at all, as the daughter of the princess, this one in front of her was simply a negative example.
"What do you mean by that, cousin?" She plucked the tea residue as if she was careless.
"Cousin-in-law, this is what my mother-in-law asked me to bring to apologize to my cousin-in-law, it was Brother Yuan'er who was impulsive that day, so he would say such inappropriate words, and ask my cousin-in-law to forgive me." Quan Meihuan said with a smile.
Zhou Knowles didn't smile, "Impulsive? I still have what he said, and my family Zhijing is not missing arms and legs and can't get married, do you still have to marry such a thing?"
At this time, she was completely unceremoniously venturing her anger on Quan Meihuan.
Quan Meihuan was also not very comfortable at this time, what is so great about this Zhou Knowles? In the past, when she was still Mrs. Linyibo, she had never looked at her in her eyes, even though she didn't please Huo Zhou's at that time, but this Zhou Zhou's was definitely one of the people who befriended her.
Now it's just to see the decline of the Huo family, so she doesn't look at people in her eyes, she is also greeting the eighteenth generation of Zhou Lou's ancestors in her heart, but she still has a smile on her face, "Cousin-in-law, what he said as a doll, do you really remember it in your heart?" I, who is a mother, will make amends to you on his behalf, Sister Zhi'er is good-looking, and being able to be a daughter-in-law to our brother Yuan is a blessing that our brother Yuan has cultivated for three lifetimes. ”
Zhou Lou squinted at Quan Meihuan, this mouthful of a source brother, like a mother and son, can't help but make people want to laugh off their big teeth, the most disdainful thing about a pair of children born by this predecessor is such a stepmother, but then think about it, this stepmother also has to rely on her stepson to support her for the elderly, can this not be done with a stepson? Thinking that she had thought it through, she smiled even more proudly, as her aunt said, this Quan Meihuan is really not afraid.
After listening to the good words, she looked a little kinder, "The main thing is that Brother Yuan'er is angry, your aunt is good, he is like this, how can you let me rest assured that Sister Zhi will marry him......"
"Isn't he unenlightened, where does he know the wonders of his daughter's house?" Quan Meihuan hurriedly said, "I won't tell you, my mother-in-law has stuffed Brother Yuan'er several times and it was useless, and all of them were beaten back, it can be seen that he is a clean and self-conscious, and you can't find a man like this with a lantern." ”
Zhou Lou is actually satisfied with Huo Yuan's article, he doesn't drink flower wine and doesn't prostitute himself, such a good man is really like the legend, otherwise where would she be willing to marry her daughter into the Huo family?" That's right, it's just that I'm afraid that Brother Yuan won't like my sister Zhi'er, and it won't be good to give her a look at her face when the time comes. ”
"You can rest assured that his grandmother is still sitting in the main hall, although I am a stepmother, I am not the kind of person who is proud of spoiling my daughter-in-law, I will treat Sister Zhi as my own, with us escorting Sister Zhi, why are you not at ease? When they become relatives and have children, are you worried that Brother Yuan will not be good to his daughter-in-law?"
Quan Meihuan's words, I really heard Zhou Lou's very happy, she herself is a person who has come over, she knows how much her mother-in-law is so bad, now Huo Zhou's family is her own family, Quan Meihuan is a stepmother who can't afford her mother-in-law's shelf, and her daughter is still worried that she has no good life to live?
Thinking about it like this, she politely greeted Quan Meihuan with tea.
Quan Meihuan also took a sip of tea with a smile on her face, and at the same time said some good and obedient words to coax Zhou Lou to laugh, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.
Zhou Zhi, who was eavesdropping outside the curtain, rolled her eyes, and then smiled with satisfaction and left as she did when she came, it seems that this marriage is very safe, and as soon as her heart goes, she has more thoughts to go back to the embroidery pavilion and start embroidering the wedding dress, this marriage cannot be delayed.
"If the girl can marry a good husband, shouldn't she go to the nunnery to make a vow?" The big girl beside her said.
Zhou Zhiyan heard this, clenched the towel in her hand, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "You have a very good idea, I will ask my mother to prepare it when I go back, and I will pick a good day to go to the nunnery to do a Dharma ceremony." ”
"It's good that the girl can figure it out." The big girl smiled and helped Huo Zhiqing back to the boudoir.
As soon as Quan Meihuan left, Zhou Lou couldn't wait to rush to his daughter's yard.
Zhou Zhijing saw her mother coming, raised her head from the embroidery frame, and called, "Mother." He put down his needle and thread, got up, walked over to his mother, and helped her to sit down.
Zhou Loushi looked at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, and pulled her to sit beside him with a smile, "Don't be willful in the future, this married person is someone else's daughter-in-law, you have to obey the rules, you know?"
"Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows this." Zhou Zhiqing hurriedly expressed her determination.
Zhou Lou's was a little relieved, "Huo Quan's is not difficult to get along with, if she doesn't embarrass you after you enter the door, you don't need to argue with her, now she is willing to stand up for Huo Yuan, and it won't be too bad for you." Hold her daughter's hand tightly, "This marriage connivance is not very satisfying, but Zhi'er, you have to understand that people are satisfied." ”
"Mother, I understand." Zhou Zhijing nodded gloomily.
"My mother knows that you are not happy to say this, but if my mother doesn't say it, I am afraid that you will take a detour." Zhou Lou felt that his children were debts, "During this time, you embroider the wedding dress well, and the Huo family is also in a hurry to marry Huo Yuan, I have made a verbal agreement with Huo Quan, and the wedding date is set at the end of the month." ”
When Zhou Zhijing heard this, she just nodded with red eyes, and after a long time, she said, "I'm afraid that the wedding dress won't be in time to ......."
"Let the embroidery girls in the house work day and night."
"Mother, I want to go to the nunnery and wish to do another ritual service, do you think it's okay?"
Zhou Lou looked at his daughter's pretty face fixedly, and thought to himself that it was really wronged, forget it, now everything is as you like, let her daughter be willful again, "Let's wait for my mother to arrange it for you in a few days." ”
"Yes, mother." Zhou Zhijing saw her mother agree, so she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Zhou Lou has always liked this little daughter, and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with your cousin Huo Yuan?"
Zhou Zhiyan's cheeks flushed when she thought of Huo Yuan, but she still said "um" like a mosquito, how could she not like such a majestic man?
Zhou Lou looked at his daughter's posture, and knew that his daughter was really happy about Huo Yuan, and only then did he be happy and worried.
With Huo Yuan behind his back, the Huo family made a small decision for the Zhou family, and secretly prepared for the marriage, preparing to kill Huo Yuan by surprise.
Lin Long has always sent people to keep an eye on the affairs of the Huo family, so he knows a rough idea, thinking of Quan Meihuan's positive appearance, she can't help but sneer, she loves to mix with everything.
"You just keep an eye on it, don't meddle, there's a wind and grass to say back to me." She commanded.
"Yes, grandma." The commanding little servant hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
When Lin Lu, who came to discuss things with Lin Long, heard this, his face was a little uneasy, "Your mother is really not afraid of hurting Sister Qi'er's heart by doing this, seeing Sister Qi'er getting thinner and thinner, do you really think we are going too far?" Anyway, this face has long been lost, and it's not bad for this, alas, I really can't see through your mother's actions. ”
"She doesn't agree that Qi'er and Huo Yuan are in pairs." Lin Long knew that Quan Meihuan couldn't cross the knot in her heart, in fact, she was also very difficult to figure it out, and she didn't blame her own mother for this, but, "What do you think she did in such a hurry to prepare for someone's marriage?" It's a thankless job. ”
Huo Zhou's eyes and mouth are crooked, and he has not fully recovered, and he can't do anything at all, if Quan Meihuan doesn't come forward, the Huo family doesn't even have anyone to preside over the marriage, so this mother is really speechless sometimes.
"Sister Long, this Huo Yuan doesn't really want to marry, right?" Lin Lu asked worriedly.
"If he really marries, then Qi'er can come to his senses, and it's not a good thing." Lin Long analyzed, "But it seems that he was kept in the dark, let's wait and see." ”
Who knows if Huo Yuan is unswervingly not married to her sister? So she just looked at it, not only that, but also ordered her men not to talk much.
Lin Lu couldn't and had to nod in agreement.
At this moment, Rumei lifted the curtain and came in and said, "Grandma, the carriage is ready." ”
Lin Long got up at this time, "Erniang, you go back first, my stepmother is estimated to be born in the next two days, and I can rest assured if I go and see." ”
Su Ziyu's age is here, and this fetus looks quite big, it's difficult not to worry, anyway, the month she is pregnant with now has no hindrance, so she has been in the palace almost every day to report, but it made Su Ziyu laugh at her for being poor and nervous-
