Chapter 119: Winning Love

"What are you talking about?" Princess Yongan pushed her brother hard, "You go, you go, you are not the child of the concubine......"

The little face of the seventh prince of the emperor collapsed in an instant, and he sat on the ground and raised his eyes uneasily to look at the silent mother, was the mother annoyed with him? "The Mother ......"

Gao Ningzhen just looked at her son fixedly, and didn't help him up for the first time, nor did she blame her daughter for pushing down her younger brother, she just squatted there with empty eyes.

Princess Yong'an saw her mother's sad appearance, her heart tightened, and she was even more angry at her brother's nonsense, and stepped forward to embarrass the seventh son of the emperor, "I'll let you talk nonsense, I'll let you talk nonsense......"

Fortunately, Gao Ningzhen was busy catching her daughter who was a little crazy behind, "Yong'an, you can't do this, it's your own brother, a ...... born to a mother's compatriots."

"Mother, but he betrayed you......" Princess Yong'an looked sad, she couldn't see her mother sad, and she didn't believe that Queen Su's mother-in-law would really treat her well.

The seventh son of the emperor looked at his mother and sister who were sadly hugging each other, and his heart was naturally uncomfortable, he got up from the ground and paced uneasily to the mother and daughter who were hugging each other, "Mother, I really didn't mean to say good things about that woman, Erchen lives in her bedroom and under her nose, if she wants to make things difficult and abuse us, it would be really too easy, but she didn't do it......"

"You still have to say, you still have to say......" Princess Yong'an glared at this immature seventh brother angrily, didn't he know what hypocrisy and pretending was? She Su Ziyu is pretending to be good to you, not sincerely, why are you so stupid to believe her? Don't you know that this is the way for her? How can I have such a brother as you......"

"Okay, don't think you're my sister and keep teaching me a lesson."

The seventh son of the emperor was also pampered and raised, only because he had always been taught by the noble concubine to respect the eldest sister of this mother's compatriot, so he was pressed on him by her, but when he heard her questioning, he was a little annoyed and angry, he was the prince anyway.

"Mother, look at him, see what he has become now?"

"Mother, I haven't changed, I'm just reasoning, if we don't even distinguish between good and bad, wouldn't we be worthy of the sages we read? Mother, please comment, is it Erchen or her who is wrong? ”

The seventh prince of the emperor pointed his finger at Princess Yong'an, who was not much different in age, and his little face was solemn.

In the past, when the sister and brother were raised under Gao Ningzhen's knees, because of their close blood relationship and their mother's teachings, they naturally had a good relationship with other half-brothers and sisters, but now when they saw the sound of their accusatory and scolding each other, their hearts were suddenly like knives, and these were all flesh that fell from her.

"Shut up and stop arguing."

Hearing her mother's low shout, Princess Yong'an, who was about to reply, glanced at her younger brother fiercely, good and bad.

The seventh son didn't feel that he was wrong, he had already let his sister once, did he have to give in to him the next time? He also has self-esteem, and he is a prince, which is not comparable to a princess, so his little face is so high that he looks like he does not admit defeat.

Gao Ningzhen moved closer to the two disputed children, grabbed one in one hand and held it in her arms, kissed her daughter's face, and then went to kiss her son, "How can you quarrel?" The mother has taught you before that once you have a dispute and leave your heart, you will let other people see jokes, not only for you, but also for the mother, do you really want the situation of the mother to be worse? ”

Such words are not harsh and do not favor one or the other, I have to say that Gao Ningzhen still has a set of teachings, which is more convincing than a direct and rude drink.

The seventh son of the emperor couldn't see his biological mother sad, so he lowered his head first, "Mother, the son knows that he is wrong, he shouldn't quarrel with his sister, mother, don't be sad, I don't pay attention to that woman anymore." ”

"Mother, my son-in-law is also at fault, my younger brother is younger than me, I should love him, not reach out and push him." Princess Yong'an held the hand of the seventh son of the emperor, "Brother, my sister is wrong. ”

"Sister, I am also at fault," the seventh prince of ......the emperor also hurriedly apologized.

Gao Ningzhen saw a pair of children reconciled, and there was no better way to comfort a mother's heart, she hugged the two children tightly in her arms, "You are all good children, once you want to quarrel in the future, you must remember the words of the mother, you know?" ”

"Mother, we know." The two children said in unison.

Gao Ningzhen was a little relieved at this time, and kissed the tender faces of the two children again, it was really not enough to kiss them. Even if her heart is strong enough, she understands that such words can only play a temporary role, these two people are children's hearts, and without her to reconcile, estrangement is easy to breed.

"Niangniang, it's not too early, it's time to let the two little masters go back, otherwise I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

Hearing the report from the henchmen outside, Gao Ningzhen reluctantly let go of the two children, holding their hands and stacking them together, "The mother concubine is not by your side, always remember that you are the closest people to each other, and the others are just outsiders." I still don't feel at ease when I say this, and I emphasized again, "Especially Su Ziyu, she can't believe her words, she is bent on revenge on her mother to snatch you, she is your enemy." ”

"Mother, we remember." Princess Yongan immediately agreed, and looked at her younger brother and asked him to say something.

The seventh prince nodded, "Don't worry, concubine." ”

Gao Ningzhen reluctantly looked at the two children she gave birth to, only hating that the time together was too short, "After the mother turns over, I will be the first to come back, before that, you must endure ......"

The words of persuasion sounded like a spring breeze, and Princess Yong'an's sisters and brothers listened carefully.

It wasn't until the henchman Gong'e outside repeatedly urged that Gao Ningzhen put on a cloak and looked at her children, and finally turned around ruthlessly and left, not a single one looked back, she was afraid that if she looked back, she would be reluctant to leave.

Princess Yong'an tightened her brother's hand, "Let's go back too, otherwise we will be scolded if it is too late......"

The seventh son of the emperor wanted to say that his mother was gentle and never scolded, but he thought that his sister had a deep prejudice against his mother, so he still said a few words, but when he left, he couldn't help but look back, and couldn't help but say with a little loss: "The mother didn't look back at us once......"

When Princess Yongan heard this, she bent her finger and hit the top of the emperor's seventh son's head, "What a fool, do you still have to worry about this?" Hurry up, meet up with the people who came out with us, and face Su Ziyu as if nothing happened, don't let her know that we secretly met the concubine......"

The seventh prince nodded solemnly.

When they returned to the queen's dormitory, Ye Xuyao and Lin Long had already handed over the sign to leave the palace and return home, so the entire dormitory was a little quiet.

"Where have you all gone?"

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, they heard their father's gloomy voice, their bodies trembled, and then they saw the other three brothers and sisters kneeling on the ground, and the two sisters and brothers quickly stepped forward and knelt down, "Father? ”

"I ask you where did you run away from your mother on the first day of the new year?" Zhu Yi's face was flat, and he put on the face of a strict father, which would naturally scare these half-grown children.

Sure enough, the five children all shivered and looked at each other, and no one chose to be the first bird.

Su Ziyu, who gently lifted the curtain and watched for a long time, was very disdainful of Zhu Yi's strict father's face, and quickly withdrew his gaze, and was helped by Lusu to lie on the chaise longue, "What a good show." ”

"Do you want to go out and play a loving mother?" Mama Jin guessed for an afternoon before she guessed a little bit of her master's true thoughts, so she beat the drum on the side.

"Naturally, I want it." Su Ziyu took the sweet soup in her hand and took a sip to warm her body, "But it's not time yet, it's too early to look fake, too late to be insincere, what this palace wants is just right." ”

Mama Jin saw that her master looked confident, and couldn't help but sigh, if her master had woken up earlier, maybe she would not have lost her three biological children.

It wasn't until Zhu Yi's voice that she wanted to punish the five children that she reached out and put her hand on the back of Hongling's hand, and the corners of her mouth hooked, "It's time, let's go over." ”

Seeing that the five dragon sons and phoenix girls were about to be beaten on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Ziyu stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a distressed face, "Your Majesty, aren't you beating the board of your concubines by letting them take the board?" ”

"Ziyu, hurry up, it's cold on the ground, your body can't bear it." When Zhu Yi saw his wife kneeling, he was so frightened that the tip of his nose was about to sweat, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his wife up.

Su Ziyu shook her head, "If the emperor doesn't take back his fate, the concubine will always kneel." Ai's eyes fell on the five children, "The concubines are going to raise them under their knees, and the emperor's good meal on the first day of the new year is not accusing the concubines of having no way to teach their children and being incompetent to be mothers-in-law?" Instead of making people suspicious, it is better for the concubine to plead guilty first......"

"Ziyu, you know I didn't mean that." Zhu Yi hugged her vigorously, "Didn't you make me worry?" ”

Su Ziyu didn't really want to kneel, and besides, the ground was cold, she was afraid that it would affect the fetus, so she secretly borrowed Zhu Yi's strength to get up, of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor had to pick up the queen.

"Your Majesty, you haven't promised your concubines yet?"

Hearing his wife's insistence, and then thinking of Lin Long's words at lunch, Zhu Yi didn't insist anymore, he pretended to be black-faced, and the white face was naturally handled by Su Ziyu, "Okay, okay, I depend on you, get up quickly, don't hurt the fetus in the womb." ”

Su Ziyu pretended to kneel again, "Concubine Xie Lord Longen......"

"Ziyu." Zhu Yi called her angrily, she obeyed her wishes, why did she kneel again?

Su Ziyu had the steps he handed over to go down, and he struggled for a while, and then obeyed the emperor's will, "The emperor doesn't punish them, and the concubines are really very pleased." ”

Zhu Yi patted her hand, felt a burst of guilt in his heart, stroked Su Ziyu's arm, it was really difficult for her to let her raise other people's children, no matter what she did, she would not be praised by the world, he still made her miserable again after all. "Ziyu, I'm sorry for you."

"You don't know until now?" Su Ziyu looked at him resentfully.

Zhu Yi hugged her lightly, "Not in the future, I won't be sad for Ziyu anymore." ”

Su Ziyu won't believe him anymore, and she doesn't want to respond to make this man's conscience calm, she is still in pain, how can he not accompany him? Then he changed the topic, "It's cold on the ground, let's let the child get up quickly." ”

She broke free from Zhu Yi's embrace, stepped forward to help up the kneeling children one by one, and touched his head lovingly when she picked up the seventh son of the emperor, and finally helped up Princess Yong'an.

"Yong'an, the queen mother knows that it will still take a while for you to truly accept me as your mother, the queen mother is not in a hurry, nor is she urging you, the queen mother can wait for you all the time." She stroked Princess Yong'an's pretty face.

Princess Yongan saw her father's face again, she was not afraid of her father's side before, she was the most favored princess at that time, but now she is sensitive to her father's unkindness. "Queen Mother, how dare your sons disaccept you? Don't think about it, son......"

Su Ziyu turned his head and glared at Zhu Yi, who was flat-faced, bent down slightly and smiled softly: "Yong'an, don't care about your father's stinky face, the queen mother will carry you all the big things." He leaned into her ear and said, "The queen mother knows that you are going to have a private meeting with your biological mother......"

Princess Yong'an looked at this mother-in-law with wide eyes and fear, and her biological mother told her not to disclose the meeting? How did she know? She asked herself very secretively.

Su Ziyu felt her body stiffen, smiled softly, and said in a voice that the two of them could only hear: "This is the secret between you and the queen mother, the queen mother will not say it to make you responsible, besides, she is also your biological mother after all, it is normal for you to remember her, and the queen mother can understand it." ”

Princess Yong'an looked at Su Ziyu with a pair of round eyes, she could understand every word she said now, but when they were put together, she was puzzled, was she really so kind not to expose her? Seeing that she was leaving, he hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "Why are you helping me?" ”

After all, he is still a child, Su Ziyu couldn't help but think, and smiled gently and kindly again, "Because you are my daughter now, I naturally want to defend you." He reached out and touched her head, smiled narrowly, and whispered two words of secret.

Only then did he return to Zhu Yi's side, "Your Majesty, they are tired all day outside, let them go back and rest." ”

Only then did Zhu Yi wave his hand to let Gong'e come in and take the five children out.

"What did you say to Yong'an?" Zhu Yi hugged Su Ziyu to the inner hall.

"It's a secret." Su Ziyu chuckled, "Naturally, you can't tell outsiders casually, even if it's the emperor, this is my agreement with my daughter." ”

"Oh? Can't even listen to me? ”

"Of course."

“……”

Princess Yong'an, who was the last to step out of the hall, looked at Su Ziyu's back with a confused expression, the mother concubine said that this woman is not a good person, she can't believe her, she has always believed in the words of the mother concubine, and acted against this mother-in-law, but why didn't she take the opportunity to embarrass her this time?

Puzzled, she could only take a step out of the hall, and when she left, she was naturally full of thoughts.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the mansions naturally gathered around to eat, and the Xiangyang Hou Mansion was originally arranged like this, just because the things caused by Ye Xuchen's brothers and sisters made everyone lose interest, and even Ye Qin's family was lying on the bed and had no thoughts about celebrating the New Year, so they still lived their own lives in each room.

Lin Long set up a banquet in the main courtyard of the big house, and he has been busy since he came back from the palace, there is laughter inside and outside the courtyard, Ye Zhong's family has been busy for a long time just to pay New Year's greetings today, and when he was able to rest, Lin Long came to ask for instructions that dinner had been arranged.

"Let's go to dinner, then." Ye Zhongshi didn't put up a shelf, got up and took the lead to the flower hall.

Ye Mingsui walked in with Ye Xuyao, Ye Xurong, father and son, Ye Zhongshi hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, in addition to Ye Manjun and Ye Manzi, the two daughters, even Ye Manning, Ye Man'an, and Ye Xuguang also sat down.

As for the aunts, Ye Zhong's family didn't need them to make rules to hinder their eyes, so they ordered them to eat by themselves in the room, so as not to affect her mood for the New Year.

"Why didn't Kai Ge'er come back?" Ye Mingsui finally remembered that he still had such a concubine before moving the chopsticks.

As soon as Ye Zhongshi heard him mention the concubine who should suffer from the plague, his face immediately lengthened, "He is still on Zhuangzi." ”

"Why didn't you pick him up?" Ye Ming said unhappily: "This is the New Year, how wrong it is for him to be alone in Zhuangzi, don't you know?" ”

Ye Zhongshi smiled coldly, "How don't I know, originally, I also wanted to pick him up, the carriage was set up at the time, but unfortunately someone was angry with me, I went back to my parents' house for a while and didn't care about it, and it was too late to pick him up when I came back, if the Hou Ye missed, then now put on the carriage and rush to Zhuangzi." ”

As soon as he mentioned the dispute before the Chinese New Year, Ye Mingsui knew that he was at a loss, "I just asked, you are good, pour a bunch of them like pouring beans......"

"Daddy." Ye Xuyao saw that his father hadn't learned to be obedient yet, so he had to make everyone's mood bad at this time, so he called him expressionlessly and personally gave his father a chopstick dish. "Let's eat the vegetables."

Ye Mingsui was also a little uncomfortable when he saw this son's cold face, "It's all because of your mother who provoked me like this." ”

Ye Zhong was angry but wanted to argue, Lin Long also learned from her husband to give her mother-in-law a braised lion's head, "Mother-in-law try this, this is what I made in the kitchen, I don't know if it's authentic?" Give me a taste so you can rate me. ”

"That's right, it's the most practical thing to eat for the New Year." Ye Xu brought vegetables to eat.

"That's right, everyone hurry up and eat, if you don't eat again, it will be cold." Ye Manjun is also a master of adjusting the atmosphere, and interjected with a smile to warm up the atmosphere.

A few of the concubines didn't dare to say anything, but they all bowed their heads to eat, looking like they were responding to the call.

When Ye Zhongshi saw this scene, he didn't really want to quarrel during this time period, and when she saw her daughter-in-law handing over the steps, she also took advantage of the situation, and took a bite of the braised lion's head, the entrance was soft, and it melted as soon as she bit it, leaving a fragrance on her teeth and cheeks, "Well, it's good, it's quite authentic." ”

"Really?" Lin Long smiled, "I'm still afraid that it won't suit my mother-in-law's taste?" ”

"This cooking puppet can be done as soon as you are pregnant, you can't make these foods anymore when you are pregnant, you have someone to do it, you know?" Ye Zhongshi said, the biggest and most important thing for a daughter-in-law now is to have a safe pregnancy, and everything else has to stand aside.

"Mother-in-law, I see." Lin Long responded with a happy face.

Ye Xuyao gave his wife a few chopsticks of her favorite dishes, "Don't take it as an example." After staring at her for a while, she went to the kitchen to make him such a show, and there was no one at home, so she still sat obediently and waited for someone to wait.

Lin Long smiled back at her husband and said silently, "Got it." ”

The corners of Ye Xuyao's mouth hooked slightly, and intimately gave her some more dishes.

Ye Mingsui looked at the loving appearance of his son and daughter-in-law, and it was not good to ruin the atmosphere and quarrel with his wife, so he shut up and ate food.

At a meal, everyone was not very comfortable eating, and the atmosphere was never warmed up.

The three concubines didn't dare to stay any longer, and they all got up to say goodbye, Ye Zhongshi was angry with her husband, and her face didn't look good, and she waved her hand to let them leave.

"I'm tired all day today, Brother Yao, take your daughter-in-law back to rest."

Hearing that Ye Zhong's family would not leave them, Lin Long got up and saluted and left with her husband.

Once on the mule cart, she reached out and grabbed her husband's waist and nestled in his arms, "Let's go back and get some more food, I'm not full yet." ”

Ye Xuyao stroked her bulging belly, "Hungry?" ”

"It's gone, I just want to eat." Lin Long was a little awkward, and found that her meal was getting longer, and she was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't control her appetite, she just wanted to eat.

Su Ziyu said that it is normal for her to be greedy now, and children need nutrients to grow up. But she was worried that she would be pregnant with a huge child, and she didn't know if she could give birth safely at that time? Mama Jin told her that as long as she eats reasonably and doesn't lose her eyes, she won't be able to grow into a giant baby.

Only then did she eat and drink with confidence.

Ye Xuyao looked at her slightly distressed little face, and gently smoothed the wrinkles on her forehead, "What's so difficult about eating?" I'll have someone bring it for you to eat when I go back. ”

"Hmm." Lin Long smiled happily.

Ye Xuyao hugged her thickening waist tightly and dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Let's sleep for a while, and I'll wake you up when it's time." ”

Lin Long closed his eyes and leaned on his arms to fall asleep, this is busy from morning to night, and the iron man will also be tired, not to mention her, a pregnant woman?

In the middle of the night, although the seventh prince was lying on the bed, he was not really asleep, and when he heard the sound of gentle footsteps approaching, he hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The curtain was lifted, and then he smelled a familiar aroma, and then he felt someone tuck the quilt for him.

"Brother will kick the quilt at night, it's cold, you have to pay attention, and the charcoal basin should also be careful not to put out the fire, don't let the prince catch a cold, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

"Yes, Queen."

His heart was shocked, in fact, when he smelled the aroma, he knew that the person who came was his mother-in-law Su Ziyu, but he didn't expect her to come to see him at this time, and said something like that, is this like a bad person in the mouth of his biological mother?

"Niangniang, it's cold here, you better put on your shoes first."

"It's not in the way, I'm afraid that the sound of the shoes will wake up my brother, so I'd better go out and put it on again."

"But Niangniang, it's so cold to step on here......"

"Shhhh......h

When the seventh prince heard this, he didn't know why he thought that in the middle of winter, she came to see if he had kicked the quilt at night and came in barefoot without shoes, he was excited, he really couldn't treat her as a bad person, to put it mildly, his biological mother Gao Guifei was not so careful.

On the one hand, it is the words of the biological mother, and on the other hand, Su Ziyu's moisturizing things are silent, and the seventh son of the emperor who has not yet grown into a teenager is entangled.

Like him, Princess Yong'an also had difficulty sleeping, she couldn't guess Su Ziyu's intentions, and she couldn't get in touch with her biological mother, so she couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and when she heard someone coming in, she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

As a result, she also heard Su Ziyu's words to her grandmother, she was also shocked, even if Su Ziyu wanted to pretend to be a loving mother, she should choose when she was awake, and what effect would it have if she came in in the middle of the night, when she was asleep?

At this time, she was also confused, Su Ziyu's behavior didn't look like she was acting, but her mother said that she was a bad person.

Her ears were pricked up to listen to the faint and almost inaudible sound of conversation, Su Ziyu's voice sounded very gentle, the same speed as she usually talked to her, but when she heard the content, she couldn't help but be stunned.

When she was out of her mind, she heard Su Ziyu's voice going out, and then she turned over, still thinking about whether her mother's behavior was true or false?

Outside the house, Hongling squatted down to put on cotton shoes for her master, and couldn't help but nag: "Why is Niangniang doing this? They don't know it, and what they do is in vain......"

Su Ziyu glanced at her with a straight face, Hongling closed her mouth knowingly, but she was not worthy of her master in her heart, and no matter how good she was to those two cheap people, it was in vain, this was the evil obstacle born to the noble concubine.

Su Ziyu waited for the shoes to be put on, and then she held the back of Mama Jin's hand and walked forward, and with one hand, she tightened the big coat on her body, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, revealing a confident and mocking smile in this dark night.

When she tucked the quilt for the two children, she naturally knew that their tense bodies had not yet fallen asleep, and she didn't believe that her gesture would not move their hearts. Looking at Gao Ningzhen's bedroom, she smiled even more arbitrarily.

Gao Ningzhen, what you care about, what you cherish, I will peel it off the same, this is not enough to repay the blood debt you owe.

In the dormitory, Zhu Yi turned over and couldn't touch Su Ziyu's body, and opened her eyes suddenly, where did she go if she didn't sleep in the middle of the night? Thinking that she was still pregnant, he suddenly got up in a hurry and got out of bed to put on his shoes, and hurriedly took the big coat handed over by Gong'e and was about to go out to find her.

As a result, he saw that his wife was being helped in, so he stepped forward to replace Mama Jin, frowned and said unhappily: "Where have you been?" ”

"It's cold, I'm going to see if my brothers and sisters have kicked the quilt?"

When Zhu Yi heard this, she was stunned, she went out in the middle of the night just for those children who were not her own? He glanced at his wife complicatedly, "You used to reject them, why now?" "So much to do......

He's not stupid and won't see what's wrong, she's too good.

Su Ziyu couldn't see his hidden suspicions, and sneered: "I don't care, you say that I can't tolerate people, and I repeatedly say that they are also my children; Okay now, I know I have to care, and you suspect that I have other plans, Zhu Yi, how do you want me to be satisfied? Is it wrong for you to do whatever I do? I know I'm not their biological mother, so I'm trying to do my best to make them accept me as soon as possible, is that wrong? ”

was robbed of his wife like this, Zhu Yi couldn't say anything to refute, as Su Ziyu said, he once accused her of indifference, knowing that he was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, Ziyu ......"

Su Ziyu shook off his hand, "What do you mean, I don't want to guess?" I only believe what I see with my eyes and hear with my ears. He went forward and lay down on the bed.

Zhu Yi saw that she was really a little angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her from behind, "Ziyu, why can't we say a good word?" If you have a discord in private, you are going to quarrel? I don't care if you love them or not, accept them or not, you don't have to do that......"

"In the past, Gao Ningzhen did this, in your eyes, she was a loving mother, and when I did this, I became an ulterior motive?" Su Ziyu pushed away the man behind her, turned to face him with a cold face, and his caring attitude made her nauseous.

"Ziyu, that's not what I meant......" She misunderstood him repeatedly, which made him quite unhappy.

"It's late at night, I don't want to argue with you, I'm going to sleep, if the emperor can't sleep, he can leave by himself." Su Ziyu turned around to the bed, took off her heavy clothes, took off her coat and lay back on the bed, and turned over to face inward.

Zhu Yi saw her back to him, and said in his heart that it was a lie not to be angry, in the face of her, he retreated again and again in private, what did he want him to do, so that she could be satisfied?

Staring at her back for a long time, thinking about the child in her belly, he couldn't get angry again, sighed, he also took off his coat and lay back on the bed, reached out to take her into his arms, and warmed her back with the heat in his chest.

She didn't refuse, just closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Ziyu ......" he sighed, kissing her hair.

What should he do with her? Gong is back, but she still hasn't been able to really show her face.

For several days in a row, Lin Long had to change his clothes five times a day to meet the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, and worked with Ye Zhong's family to play the dutiful wife of the prince, winning the unanimous praise of many elders.

When I returned to Nanyuan and was about to drink sweet soup, I saw Ruxia come in and ask for instructions: "Grandma, the second lady of the Lin family has paid a greeting to grandma." ”

Lin Long was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he figured out who this was referring to, "Please invite the second aunt in." ”

Lin Bai and Lin Li led the curtain in front of them, followed by a woman who looked a little mean, and the woman was followed by a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, the latter two Lin Long did not know.

"Second aunt, come and sit down." Lin Long said.

Lin Baishi stepped forward with a smile, "I know that you are pregnant and it is not easy to go out to pay New Year's greetings, so I will come to you to pay a New Year's greeting before returning to Suzhou." ”

"The second aunt has a heart, I've been so busy in the past two days that I don't even have time to go back to my parents' house, my second aunt wants to see that I still have to come to the Hou Mansion."

"That's because they care about you, it's convenient to go back to your mother's house or something, it's snowing outside and it's very cold." Lin Bai said, "I am used to living in Suzhou, and I am very uncomfortable with the cold weather in the capital. ”

"That's nature." Lin Long responded with a smile, his eyes naturally noticed that the strange girl who came in curiously touched the furnishings in the room, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he didn't like this girl's style very much. "Is Cousin Li's good after marriage?"

When Lin Li heard this, her face flushed, she never dreamed that she would marry in the capital, "My husband's family treats me very well." ”

The mean-faced woman standing on the side poked Lin Bai's waist, glared at her, and asked her to quickly introduce her.

Lin Bai's family naturally didn't dare to snub this in-law's family, originally her daughter was a high-climbing family, and Lin Long was the only one in her family who could take it out to shock people, so she smiled and said: "Sister Long, let me introduce you to you, this is your brother-in-law's mother-in-law, Feng Chen." ”

Feng Chen got Lin Bai's introduction, and said enthusiastically: "Happy New Year to the county lord, our family married the cousin of the county lord, then they are in-laws with each other, and I will ask the county lord to take care of it in the future......

"Bang" The sound of porcelain breaking interrupted Feng Chen's words.

Lin Long saw that it was the impolite girl who smashed the blue and white porcelain in the room with a heavy hand, her brows furrowed even more, and her expression sank unconsciously.

"My hand slipped, accidentally." The girl argued.

Feng Chen glared at her daughter, telling her how many hands she had to do was not steady?

The Feng girl bit her lower lip and stood there.

Lin Li hurriedly stepped forward to grab the girl and stepped forward, "This is my sister-in-law, surnamed Feng Mingjing, she is not like this in the past days, she really missed today, cousin Long don't worry about her......"

"It's out of the way." Lin Long couldn't really turn his face, but coldly called someone to come in and sweep the broken porcelain pieces clean, and let people accidentally prick their feet.

"Third sister-in-law, this vase is not worth drying for the Hou Mansion, there are so many good things here from the county lord, it doesn't matter if there is one less, right?" Feng Jing looked at Lin Long flatteringly.

Lin Long said in a very light tone: "Miss Feng, let's sit down and drink tea." ”

Feng Jing didn't get a positive response from Lin Long, she was bored, pinching the handkerchief and being pressed into the chair by Lin Li, asking her to just sit and not make a sound, like that, Lin Li thought that she might not be able to say it shamelessly when she was guilty before, and she couldn't help but look down on this sister-in-law.

Feng Chen smiled and played a round game, "It's all my own family, our sister Jing didn't mean it, the county lord doesn't care about her, I will talk about her ...... when I look back."

"Mother......" Feng Jing called her mother reluctantly.

Lin Li regretted coming to this trip a little, this mother-in-law couldn't talk like this even if she put gold on her face, she and Lin Long were not sisters, they were cousins separated by a layer, what is your own family?

Lin Bai laughed wryly, "It's hard for Sister Long not to care." ”

The corners of Lin Long's mouth hooked slightly, and he raised his eyebrows to let people step forward to renew the tea. "When will the second aunt leave?"

"In two days, I will go back on the fifth day of the new year." Lin Baishi was also happy to change the topic, "This waterway is frozen, and I plan to go back by land, I don't know if your second uncle is not at home, I'm afraid that the family is in a mess, I have to go back to clean up, and your lobby brother also has to take a scientific expedition, and there are still many things to be busy......

"As far as I'm concerned, it's better for my mother to stay longer, it's not good to go back in a hurry." Feng Chen said busily, she still wanted to stay in Lin Bai's family for a while, so that it would be much easier to get close to Lin Longtao, otherwise how would she agree that her son would marry the daughter of a squire, and she would also need the daughter of a petty official to be worthy of her family.

"No, I'll have to go home sooner or later." Lin Bai's excuse resigned, her heart had already flown back, and it had been several months, how could she not be homesick?

"Since the second aunt wants to go back, then I won't stop you." Lin Long said, "I packed some gifts, and the second aunt will bring them back with me, you should pay more attention to this road......"

Lin Bai nodded hurriedly, when he came, there were people from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion to take care of and guard, naturally everything was fine, and when he returned, she was the only one, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent. "Sister Long, don't worry about this, I just happened to know the dart master's wife, and I will take care of her on the way back, and it won't be in the way."

When Lin Long heard this, he was relieved.

When everyone was chatting, Ye Xuyao happened to open the curtain and come in, "Lady, did my file fall into the inner room......" Seeing the ladies in this room, she frowned unconsciously.

Lin Long hurriedly asked Lu Chun to go in and look for it, and when she saw her husband frowning slightly, she still opened her mouth to introduce her.

Feng Jing, who had been sitting listlessly, couldn't help but light up when she saw Ye Xuyao come in, and immediately sat upright, pinched the silk handkerchief, and made a ladylike shape, hoping to get his attention, and secretly pulled her hair.

It's a pity that Lin Long only introduced the Feng Chen family, and did not introduce such a Feng girl to her husband.

Ye Xuyao just nodded lightly at Feng Chen, and when he saw that Feng Chen's was about to stammer, he took the file in Lu Chun's hand, "I still have something to do, and I'm out of company." He glanced at Lin Long and gave her a look that he would come back to eat with her.

Lin Long smiled and responded secretly, and then watched her husband hurriedly pick up the curtain and leave.

Feng Jing's eyes widened, this is leaving? She hadn't had a chance to say a word, so she stood up and looked at Lin Long, "County Lord, this is your husband, right?" ”

Lin Long glanced at her, didn't he ask knowingly? "Yes."

"The county lord is really blessed." Feng Jing was a little jealous, I heard that this county lord was not as good as her when she married into the Ye family, what kind of life is the family living now? She felt that this God was really unfair.

Lin Long pulled his cheeks and responded, but he had already begun to think about what reason to find an eviction order, and he was quite disappointed in the people of Lin Lifu's family.

Feng Chen said with a smile: "The county lord, this husband is really young and promising, not like the old man in our family who can only get a five-grade official when he mixes around, it's not that he is not good, but he hasn't met a nobleman to help him." Since the county lord is his own family, he has to help, how can this outsider have a reliable family? ”

As soon as Lin Long heard it, he understood that the intention of the Feng Chen family was to rely on the Ye family's promotion to make a fortune, but unfortunately she would not cooperate, so she no longer responded falsely at this time, but said bluntly: "The Ye family does not have a family surnamed Feng. ”

When Feng Chen heard this, his eyebrows immediately rose up, wasn't this a slap in the face? "What did the county lord say? Mother-in-law, this is also your niece, but you would like to say a word? What are you doing sitting here in a daze? ”

Although Lin Bai didn't like the style of this mother-in-law's arrival this time, Lin Long's words still didn't quite listen, "Sister Long, give the second aunt a face, this is your cousin's husband's ......"

"If I hadn't given face to my second aunt, I would have let them be swept out of the house a long time ago, and I would have allowed them to talk nonsense in my land?" Lin Long smiled coldly-
