Follow-up (8) Suspicion
Xuanpinghou and his wife quickly reached a consensus on this matter, not only that, Xuanpinghou also thought of secretly killing Dong Feng, and he must not let this guy have the opportunity to say some ugly things in the future to destroy his daughter's reputation.
After Gu Xuefei in this side of the box was forcibly pulled back to her courtyard by her brother, she began to choose clothes to attend the full moon banquet in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion tomorrow, but Lin Long in the other side of the box had just returned to the mansion.
Gently lifting the door curtain, she walked in with a smile, and sure enough, she saw that Ye Zhongshi was here with Su Miaojue.
Ye Zhongshi and Su Miaojue, who were talking inside, immediately stopped, and both of them looked up at her, also with a smile on their faces.
"Sister-in-law came back just in time, hurry up and sit down, and tell us about the demeanor of this new champion Lang." Su Miaojue hurriedly beckoned to Lin Long, she was also in confinement, she couldn't go anywhere, she was just bored, "I originally wanted to join in the fun, Lin Gongzi is good friends with her husband, how can I miss such a happy event?" I'm in confinement again, so I have to do it. ”
When Ye Xurong fell in love with Tanhua, she also secretly went to see Ye Xurong's scenery on the street. Although he was only Tanhualang, the champions of that year were all thirty or forty years old, and the list eyes were gloomy and gloomy, which made Ye Xurong shine for a while, and the eyes of all the young girls fell on Ye Xurong's body, and she still remembers it deeply.
I still remember the sour words of my aunt Su Wushi at that time, and now I still feel a good feeling of exhaling and raising my eyebrows when I think of it.
"It just so happened that the children asked the nurse to take the nurse to the garden to play, and the old man hurried to talk about it, and I also wanted to hear it." Ye Zhong also beckoned to the eldest daughter-in-law, if she had to take care of these babies, she would definitely follow to see the excitement, after all, Lin Dong's child could be regarded as something she grew up watching.
Lin Long stepped forward with a smile, and was pulled by Su Miaojue to sit beside her, seeing her smiling eyes, she naturally wouldn't hide her secrets, she couldn't wait to share this kind of happy event with as many people as possible, so she told everything that happened on the street, and Ye Zhongshi and Su Miaojue also followed for a long time.
After being happy, Ye Zhong looked at Lin Long and said, "Now that Brother Dong is also out, one of the four fortunate things in this life has been obtained, I'm afraid it should be done in the other, your second mother can have a favorite candidate, say it and I will personally go to protect Brother Dong'er." ”
As soon as Lin Long heard this, he knew that his mother-in-law really loved Lin Dong, otherwise how could he personally protect the media and pull the fiber? Since Quan Yingzi married Zhong Yuyan by mistake, her mother-in-law will no longer protect anyone, after all, if the marriage is not concluded, the first thing the newcomer and his family will blame is the matchmaker, which has learned a profound lesson from Zhong Guo's family.
Mrs. Zhong's body has not been good in the past two years, and she has been hanging on with precious medicinal materials, which makes Ye Zhong's family hate the dead Zhong Guo even more, and every time she goes back to her mother's house, her face will be black for several days, which makes the people in Shenwu Hou's Mansion afraid of this old aunt and grandmother.
"I'm relieved to have my mother-in-law, but I'm worried that a girl from a family can't marry into the door? I have to discuss it with my second mother when I go back. She replied with a smile.
Ye Zhongshi glanced at her amusedly, "If it weren't for Princess Yong'an's family affair last year, it would be good to let Brother Dong Ershang be a princess, and the two are also the same age." ”
Lin Long was noncommittal, her heart was not so big, not to mention that Princess Yongan was one or two years older than her own brother, just this is not the right family, if she really got married, I was afraid that Brother Dong and Erniang would have to live by looking at other people's faces, and after all, Qi Da was not a coincidence. After a long time, she replied, "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, not an ordinary person." ”
Ye Zhongshi was stunned, and pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, "After all, I lost my temper, this is not a coincidence, Princess Shang is not such a good thing as imagined, and the identity of Princess Yong'an is always a little embarrassing, if you can avoid it, you still have a clear head......"
Lin Long hurriedly served Ye Zhong's bowl of hot tea, "Mother-in-law, don't say that, I didn't mean that, even if she was from Gao Ningzhen, but the queen has treated her well over the years, and the world has seen it." I'm just cautious, I hate my second mother's sin, and my mother-in-law doesn't know that her background is low, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to suppress my brother's daughter-in-law in the future. ”
The daughter of a wealthy family is actually not the first choice for her to find a daughter-in-law for her younger brother, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything, if such a woman is willing to marry, it is no problem, but she is afraid of encountering an arrogant person like her mother Quan Meihuan, it is by no means the blessing of the Lin family. After thinking about it carefully, she still prefers to choose the right family, neither high nor low, as long as she has a good character and looks handsome.
"That's right, but your second mother has the will of the Queen Mother, and if others really want to pick on her thorns, I'm afraid they will have to think twice." Ye Zhong said, "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, you know this truth, I won't be verbose." ”
"I'm still asking my mother-in-law, how can I think you're verbose?" Lin Long hurriedly smiled.
Su Miaojue listened to their conversation, and the smile on her face was not less, "It just so happens that Ming'er is Brother Guang'er's full moon banquet, and the news of Lin Gongzi's high school champion will definitely spread all over the capital at this time, I estimate that there are many thoughtful people, and Ming'er will have a lot of unmarried girls coming, and my sister-in-law just took the opportunity to pick one." ”
"It's an opportunity." Ye Zhongshi said, "Ming'er, I'll help you watch a few babies, you take the opportunity to take a good look, I think there must be a lot of people who want to get close to Brother Dong'er." ”
Lin Long thought about it, and this is the truth, now that Brother Dong has indeed reached the age of getting married, he can't delay it anymore, otherwise when he is old, even if he is a champion, it will be difficult to find a partner to marry.
While thinking about this question, she suddenly thought of the scene she saw on the street today, in such a crowded crowd, Brother Dong really stopped to help the poor girl, was it an accident or something else? Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Rumei, "Go and see if the bandit has come back?" If he comes back, let him come over as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, grandma, the slave will convey it." Rumei was busy and Fu retreated.
"But what's the matter?" Su Miaojue asked with concern.
Ye Zhong also frowned unconsciously and looked at his eldest daughter-in-law.
Lin Long looked at this frame, obviously the two of them had misunderstood, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "What's the matter?" Don't be nervous, I just remembered something and asked the bandits, don't worry, now there are happy events in the house every day, and after Brother Guang'er's full moon banquet is over, it will be Brother Nan'er's turn, isn't this just a happy event one after another? ”
Saying this, Ye Zhongshi laughed out loud first, the most proud person this time is her, and she added two grandchildren at once, and she walked out with envious eyes, and her ears were calloused when she heard good words.
While the three of them were talking and laughing, the nurse led a few tired brothers in.
As soon as Lin Long's sons came in and saw their mother here, their eyes suddenly lit up, except for the youngest Ye Yaoguang, who was sleeping in the next room, the others all rushed into Lin Long's arms at once, without their father, they had always been more presumptuous.
Ye Yaodong also climbed onto the Luohan bed and drilled into the arms of his own mother, Su Miaojue.
Lin Long wanted to touch her forehead when she saw it, but at this time, she agreed with her husband very much, and it was not a good thing to have too many sons, so she sighed softly, "It's all for me to stand up, and show it to your father, what kind of system is this?" I think it's okay to let your father find you a great gentleman, or I'll send you to the clan school in advance, and I won't be angry with you. ”
Su Miaojue has always doted on her son, but now that she sees Lin Longxunzi, she is not partial, and she is busy letting her son go down, now is not the time to do something special.
The old god of Ye Zhong is sitting on the ground, the daughter-in-law teaches the son, it is best for her, who is a mother-in-law, not to interfere, and the child still has to be taught, otherwise she will have no place to cry, so she never interrupts Lin Long's lecture at this time.
Ye Yaoxing and Ye Yaochen, twins, were the oldest children present, they were almost five years old, and they were the first to go to the clan school, so both of them stood there shrewdly and listened to their mother's teachings, so as not to really anger their mother, they didn't have to wait for them to be five years old and kicked them into the clan school, they didn't want to leave their mother so early.
Ye Yaochen blinked and stared at his mother with big eyes, looking ignorant and well-behaved, seeing Lin Long's heart and liver trembling constantly, this child is not as dazzling as his brothers, but there are many ghost ideas.
However, Ye Xurong and Su Miaojue's son Ye Yaodong are more honest, although Su Miaojue is spoiled, she is not spoiled by her son, but in general she is still not as naughty as Lin Long's sons.
Lin Long lectured a few words, after all, it was the meat that fell from his body, and besides, Ye Yaodong was there, and it was impossible to really punish these children, and soon the matter was revealed with thunder and rain.
A few children were honest and jumped up again after a while, seeing Lin Long's head twitching again, it seemed that it was time to listen to her husband's opinion, in addition to Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, Xiao San and Xiao Si should really leave her to go to the clan school.
The junior and fourth didn't expect their mother's mind to change and they had fun, but after a few days, they couldn't be happy.
Lin Long didn't stay in Su Miaojue's yard for too long, and returned to South Park after taking a few children, Ye Zhong's family still had to deal with family affairs, so he had already left first.
As soon as I returned to the South Park, the bandit was already waiting there.
"Tell me, where is this girl?" Lin Long placed several children, and asked softly with Xiaoliu in his arms.
Bandit Jian replied respectfully, "If you go back to the eldest grandmother, this girl is a girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”
"From the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" Lin Long opened his eyes wide and said, he really couldn't see that this girl was from a prominent background.
Although the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is not as famous as the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, it still has some foundations, that is, the current Xuanping Marquis is too mediocre, so he is not very conspicuous in the court, but his son seems to be more promising.
"Grandma, that's right, Xuanping Hou also instructed the little one not to spread the word about this matter, so as to save the reputation of this girl." He thought that Lin Dong looked at the young girl a little differently, so he added again, "Grandma, Uncle Lin seems to treat this girl a little differently." ”
Lin Long was slightly stunned, coaxed the son in his arms, and glanced at the bandit, "What's the different method?" ”
"The servant saw Shi Mo, obviously Uncle Lin was also interested, even if he didn't say it." As long as he is a righteous gentleman, he will definitely not say anything ambiguous to other girls on such an occasion, so even if Lin Dong didn't say a word, he could feel that Lin Dong's eyes were different from usual when he looked at the young girl, and as for what was different, he couldn't say it.
When Lin Long heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.
Seeing his own hostess like this, Bandit Jian began to wonder if he had said more, he had really respected Lin Long over the years, so when he saw that the girl was from such a good background, he wanted to match her with Lin Dong, if the Lin family could marry such a high-ranking girl, it would also be a beautiful thing, at least Lin Dong's future would be more optimistic.
"Big grandma?" He hesitated and said, "Is it a small ......?"
"It's fine." Lin Long patted his youngest son's swaddling clothes, and smiled to reassure the bandits, "It's just that I'm thinking about something, by the way, don't spread this matter, and just say what you just said in front of me, don't say it on a whim, in case there are rumors, if the two families have no intention of getting married, won't it hurt the reputation of other girls in the end?" ”
"Grandma rest assured, the slave has its own measure." Bandit Jian did a trick, he is not a big mouth, how can he spread this thing everywhere.
"I've always been relieved that you're doing things, I'm fine here, you can go down first." Lin Long waved his hand and said, "The master will come back later, you can also go back to see the mother and son of the incense rafters, you don't have to stay here and wait." ”
"Yes, grandma." The bandit immediately responded, and this was exactly what he wanted.
Since the birth of his youngest daughter Jusheng, he has regarded his daughter as if he was eyeballs, perhaps he was really infected by the emotions of his begging daughter, and now he sees his daughter more and more in love. The more secret thought is that he has a daughter, but he still hasn't, just thinking about it, he can't be happy.
After saluting and leaving, he immediately returned to his home with the incense rafters.
As soon as he opened the curtain and entered, he saw Su Wen wiping tears from his house again, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
As soon as Su Wen saw Bandit Jian coming back, he hurriedly pressed the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, got up and said, "I'll go back first, and I won't disturb your husband and wife." ”
The incense rafters didn't stay, and now it's pitiful to look at the plain lines.
Seeing this friend's wife walking away, Bandit Jian sat down in the position where Su Wen was originally sitting, hugged the little daughter in his wife's arms and kissed it, "It's not a way for her to be like this, and our family is not the Jinshan Temple, how can she stop crying for three days." ”
Isn't that touching his frieze? Of course, he won't say this, after all, he and Bandit Shi are brothers who have died.
"She's bitter in her heart, you can forgive her." Xiangrin sympathized with Su Wen's situation, "It's been several years since she got married, and her belly still hasn't moved, and Bandit Shi didn't say anything on the surface, but what he thought in his heart, you don't know it, I don't know, and I don't know, and Su Wen doesn't know." ”
"Why do I think that's wrong?" Bandit Jian glanced at his wife, there was something in this.
The incense rafter pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help asking, "Husband, tell me honestly, is there someone outside the bandit stone?" ”
"Where did you hear that? Is Bandit Stone that kind of person? "The bandit guards the good brother.
"A woman's intuition." The rafter said coldly.
To be precise, Su Wen felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to pierce this layer of window paper, for fear that her husband would really bring her back a concubine, what should she do at that time? Childlessness is her death hole, even if she asks for the support of her grandmother, but once the man changes his mind, the nine horses can't pull it back.
"I said you women don't be suspicious all day long, okay?" Bandit Jian can be regarded as serving these two women, "Bandit Shi and I are the right-hand men that the master relies on the most, and there are a lot of things to do just by listening to the master's orders, how can there be any time to be outside?" Are you the sons of idle people? First, we don't have this life, and second, we don't care about it. ”
They have been on an errand in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and they also have a face outside, and there are many people who want them to introduce them to the master, and both of them have a small fortune over the years.
Xiang Rafter's expression softened a little, and he sighed and said, "I don't want to suspect you about anything, or I can't bear to see Su Wen crying like that, I can't bear it, I think at the beginning, what a bold person she was, and now she is about to catch up with Dou E." ”
"This is their housework after all, and we can't interfere with it, so you can take it easy, don't end up being a person inside and out." Bandit Jian doesn't like to meddle with other people's family affairs, even if this person is his good brother.
Xiangrin sighed again, "I understand what you say, but I have always had a deeper friendship with Su Wen than others, who else can she tell if she doesn't tell me something?" To her mother? That can't be said at all, as soon as she says it, according to her mother's temper, I'm afraid that she will come to the door and beat the bandit for a while, which is even more detrimental to the harmony between their husband and wife. ”
It was difficult for the Qing officials to decide the family affairs, and in view of the fact that there was no way to do this, the bandits stopped making a noise and turned to tease the little daughter in their arms.
Xiangrin looked at her husband because she didn't want to talk about the two of them, so she wisely kept silent, "By the way, husband, I heard the eldest grandmother mention it a while ago, saying that it was waiting for Brother Xing and Brother Chen to be sent to the clan after their birthdays, you see, can I honestly ask the eldest grandmother for the position of a scholar for us?" ”
They are all minions of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, and their son was born with this identity, it would have been better if they could keep up with Ye Yaoting and Ye Yaohui, but the age difference is good, and now they can catch up with this second wave of sons to go to school, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
First, the son can learn something from the clan study, and secondly, it is very important to have a good relationship with the little master while he is young.
"You can do this thing, grandma, you can talk there, it depends on whether we are honest or not." Bandit Jian agreed.
"It's easy if you agree to this, I'll go back and beg grandma to go, and she will definitely agree." Xiang Rafter smiled happily and said, her son has a good future, and she will be more motivated.
The husband and wife here are smiling when they talk about the future, but there is an uninvited guest from the Lin Mansion.
