Follow-up (11) Secret joy

Hearing her mother's introduction, Gu Xuefei was stunned, she loved Lin Dong for one thing, she didn't know much about the Lin family's affairs, especially Lin Dong's prostitute stepmother didn't know, "This"

Gu Guo was surprised when he saw his daughter, stopped patting his daughter's hand and said, "Why can't you accept it?"

After a while, Gu Xuefei's expression eased, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't accept it, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

She grew up with orthodox court training, although she doesn't even know what a prostitute is, but she naturally doesn't have a good impression of the fox who specializes in seducing men, but this does not prevent her from admiring Lin Dong, after all, Lin Dong is Lin Dong, Lin Lu is Lin Lu's family, if she really has a good relationship with Lin Dong for a hundred years, she will be far away from this Lin Green Clan.

"If you think that a prostitute and mother-in-law are embarrassed, then we will stop here, anyway, the eight characters have not been skimmed, and it is too late to regret it." Gu Guo's words don't know whether to tell her daughter or herself, to be honest, she really doesn't have Ye Zhong's heart and can accept such a mother-in-law.

Gu Xuefei's heart struggled for a while, until Quan Meihuan and Lin Lushi were about to approach them, she shook her head again, "Mother, I don't mind, it's all a pile of people, anyway, they all look like they're happy to see each other."

Gu Xuefei followed her mother's side obediently and didn't say much, so she couldn't say much at this time, otherwise she would leave a bad impression.

There are many people who want to marry Lin Dong, and they all saw the three of them coming in with a smile, and then looked at Gu Xuefei beside Gu Guo's side, how could they not help but feel sour in their hearts, they didn't expect Lin Dong's market to be so good.

"Did the girl of the Gu family see it, but she didn't expect the Gu Guo clan to also fight Lin Zhuangyuan's idea." Someone whispered.

"If there is a good man, you don't have an idea, look at how many young girls there are at this table" Someone disdainfully echoed a sentence, it is difficult to find a good son, not to mention that it is a young and unmarried new champion, which has always been fragrant.

"That's right, I see that this girl from the ancient family is handsome, and she is not bad with Lin Zhuangyuan, and she is just right." There are people who have no daughters to marry in the family who deliberately said that this is the person who beat Lin Dong's idea by his side.

"The Gu family is the Hou Mansion, will it be inappropriate for the two families to marry?" someone questioned.

Gu Xuefei's background is higher than Lin Dong's, this wife marries low, and the daughter must marry high, but this ancient family really wants to marry a daughter low

Someone immediately sneered, "Lin Zhuangyuan is now a serious Jinshi and the first background, not to mention the former Lin University Scholar, that is also a serious Jinshi, Lin Zhuangyuan's deceased father is also not far behind, this is a proper scholarly family, how can it not be worthy of the daughter of the ancient marquis's family."

The people next to him also nodded when they heard it, the scholarly door has always been noble, even if there is no title, many powerful families will choose such a family as their in-laws, after all, they can get by on face.

Gu Xuefei, who had pricked up her ears, also listened to some of these discussions, her face was flushed and she hung her head slightly, but she was very happy in her heart, and it seemed that she still had a good eye.

The smile on Gu Guo's face became even bigger, it is true that the Lin family also deserves the title of scholarly family, and his daughter will not be humiliated if she really marries in the past, and Lin Dong is fledgling after all, if something happens, his own family can take care of the other party, and he is more and more concerned about this marriage.

Quan Meihuan and Lin Lushi naturally heard these whispered discussions, and they both raised their heads slightly, Lin Dong was out of breath, and they were even more proud, sure enough, it was more appropriate to choose a wife after high school, so the choice was much wider.

Of course, Lin Long couldn't hear these words, some people's voices were not small, as if they were intentionally trying to say it to others, of course, she didn't feel much fluttering, even if Gu Xuefei was noble, her impression was not bad, but it was too early to choose her as her brother and daughter-in-law like this, and everything was still inconclusive.

"Looking at the meaning of the Gu family, it seems that he really intends to get married to Brother Dong, and I can do it if I look at it." Ye Tian carefully leaned into Lin Long's ear and said, "I heard that the family style of the Gu family is also good, and the daughter raised must not be bad." ”

She is doing business in partnership with the Lin family, so she is naturally very familiar with Lin Dong, and she has always liked this young man very much, so she also very much hopes that Lin Dong can marry a high-ranking girl to support the faΓ§ade for his wife, so that who dares to underestimate the Lin family

Lin Long laughed in a low voice, "It's feasible, it's feasible, but this children's marriage has always been sloppy, otherwise there will be chaos in the future." ”

"That's right." Ye Tian nodded in agreement, "But there have always been no rumors about the daughter of this ancient family, and the nephew and daughter-in-law can be given priority." ”

Lin Long smiled, "I will definitely listen to Aunt Six's words." ”

Ye Tian smiled and patted her jokingly, the relationship between the two has always been close, and naturally they seem to have a very good relationship.

Some of the other female relatives of the Ye family are envious, and some pouted disdainfully, but it is undeniable that the life of the sixth room is quite good, and it is the best life of the Ye family except for the big house.

Ye Wang's in the second room pouted and said, "What's the big deal?"

Ye Rongshi, the daughter-in-law sitting next to her, looked at her mother-in-law who was full of jealousy, how much she respected her when she first got married, and how much she despised it now, and then thought about the old woman's desire to send her daughter to the nunnery to fend for herself, and she wanted to strangle this old witch to death. But fortunately, she didn't lose her mind and knew what to do and why not to do it, so she wouldn't do anything to bring disaster on herself.

Ye Man'an was sitting in the other seat listening to her cousin Ye Manling's complaints, and she couldn't wait to leave quickly

Handing the handkerchief to the other party, she said in a low voice, "Sister Ling, don't cry quickly, this man loves him, we women just need to discipline our children, and we can't force anything else." ”

Ye Manling's husband recently accepted a concubine, Ye Manling was angry but quarreled with her husband several times, and now the relationship between the couple has taken a turn for the worse, and even went back to her parents' house to drink full moon wine, and her husband came separately from her, which made her face unbearable.

Originally, she wanted to talk to Lin Long about these things, but unfortunately Lin Long was too busy today, so she could only talk to Ye Man'an, who had the same experience and situation, even if she didn't look down on a concubine like Ye Man'an before marriage. But now that the situation is stronger than people, Ye Man'an and Lin Long have a good relationship, and the two are serious sisters-in-law, I hope to pass these words to Lin Long through Ye Man'an's mouth, and Lin Long can help her when the time comes.

Hearing Ye Man'an say this at this time, she stopped crying, and said with tears in her eyes, "Then it doesn't matter what Sister An is relieved." This is a very ironic statement.

When Ye Man'an heard this, the expression on her face was suffocated, she was really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, she didn't need to hold Ye Manling's stinky feet here, so she got up and smirked, "I don't dare to say whether my heart is wide or not, but like Sister Ling, I'm afraid that I will really be separated from my husband, and when the time comes, don't blame me, who is a cousin, for not reminding you, Sister Ling, should do it herself." After speaking, she immediately got up, "I still have to go to find my mother-in-law, I lost my company first." ”

"You" Ye Manling saw Ye Man'an leave immediately, and was so angry that she stomped her feet, "What's the big deal, when a stepwife still has a face, she can't control her husband's wreck, and she is a concubine from a lowly background, I really stained my identity when I talked to you, hum"

When Ye Man'an heard these scolding words, she was so angry that her hands trembled, she shouldn't have softened her heart for a while, this woman didn't deserve sympathy at all. I wanted to scold a few words back, but when I thought that this was Lin Long's youngest son's full moon banquet, it was Lin Long who was really ugly, so I endured this anger.

Who knew that Ye Manzi suddenly jumped out, picked up the water on the table and poured it on Ye Manling's body, Ye Manling jumped up angrily, and looked at Ye Manzi angrily, "What are you doing?"

Ye Manzi took her hand and left, "Since you're wet, go change your clothes, don't shout here and make people laugh." ”

"You" Ye Manling wanted to have a seizure, but she didn't know that Ye Manzi pulled her to go very fast.

Except for a few people nearby, no one could see what was going on clearly, of course, those people were all the daughters of the Ye family, even if they gossiped, they didn't dare to talk nonsense on this occasion, they didn't look at Ye Man'an and Ye Manling, Ye Manzi was Ye Zhong's beloved daughter, where could they talk casually, otherwise they would really offend Ye Zhong's family, it wouldn't be cost-effective.

As soon as he turned around and couldn't see the guests, Ye Manzi shook off Ye Manling's hand, and said with a tense face, "You shut your mouth for me, you can't speak and no one will treat you as a mute." ”

"Ye Manzi, you old virgin who can't get married, I don't care about my affairs with you."

Ye Manling scolded, Ye Manzi simply took out a handkerchief to seal her mouth, this Ye Manling would not be like this before, but now she has become a parent and a resentful woman, and it has become unbearable, and it is really troublesome to get married, and a peerless good man like her two brothers is extinct, so she doesn't want to marry those garbage.

Motioned to the maid on the side to cut Ye Manling's hand, not letting her tear off the gag scarf, "Take it down and let her change her clothes, don't let her"

"You don't need to change your clothes, let her go back directly." Lin Long suddenly appeared and commanded.

Ye Manling, who was confronting Ye Manzi, was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Long to come out suddenly, the expression on her face was stunned, and she couldn't return to her soul for a while.

Ye Manzi clapped his hands and said, "It's still the sister-in-law who is wise, yes, we don't welcome such guests in our Hou Mansion, so hurry up and send her away." ”

"Hmm" Ye Manling wanted to struggle to explain to Lin Long that her current position in her husband's family was very delicate and embarrassing, and she needed the help of Lin Long, the lady of the Hou Mansion, but she didn't know how to restrain herself, but she messed things up, and was gradually pulled away by her subordinates.

Lin Long looked at Ye Manzi and smiled, "Mother-in-law asked me to come over to find you to come to the banquet, the banquet is about to start, you are good, play tricks with people here, let's go over now." ”

"I can't get used to her." Ye Manzi touched his nose and said.

"She didn't have a good time at her husband's house, so she spoke extremely." Ye Man'an, who flashed out from behind, explained, "But thank you Sister Seed this time." ”

Her relationship with Ye Manzi has never been good, she has always avoided this sister-in-law, and she can't afford to hide at least if she can't afford it, anyway, she doesn't like this sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart, but she never expected that the other party would stand up for her, which made her feel ashamed when her heart warmed, and it was her inferiority to her status as a concubine that would make people think crookedly.

Ye Manzi stood and looked at Ye Man'an, "You are also my sister-in-law, hearing her insult like that, it is nothing for me to stand up for you, but she is also right, you completely let your husband act indiscriminately, it is indeed a little bit of a nest, if I am you, you will quickly teach Fu Nian a lesson, so that he can take care of it from now on." ”

This last sentence made Ye Man'an's face turn red, this sister-in-law is really not a good person to get along with, she thought secretly.

Lin Long knew Ye Man'an's situation, how could a man like Fu Nian be under her control, Ye Man'an had her own way of dealing with it in her own marriage, ignoring it was the best way, otherwise it would be half a benefit to Ye Man'an to incur Fu Nian's disgust.

"Okay, what are the sisters fighting about, third sister-in-law, don't worry about your sister-in-law, she just doesn't forgive people with one mouth, and there is no malice." She spoke up to resolve the embarrassment.

"I know." Ye Man'an didn't dare and wouldn't be angry with Ye Manzi, not to mention that the other party was angry with her before.

"I'm not wrong, it's sad enough to be a woman like Sister An." If the leaves and vine seeds continue to be exported, they will offend people.

Ye Man'an clenched his handkerchief, and could only raise an insincere smile to hide the embarrassment.

Seeing this, Lin Long hurriedly pulled away Ye Man'an's seeds, and gave Ye Man'an a reassuring look, telling her not to go in at ease.

Ye Man'an slowly paced into the house, even if others looked down on her, she had to look down on herself, otherwise she wouldn't be able to live this life.

Lin Long pulled Ye Manzi to sit on the seat, leaned into her ear and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, stop talking to stimulate people, this marriage is like a person who drinks water and knows the joy of fish."

She never knew that Ye Manzi looked at marriage like this, it seems that after the full moon banquet, she has to discuss with her mother-in-law, and everyone can persuade Ye Manzi, otherwise it is not a way for my sister-in-law to be alone all the time. Although she doesn't mind that Ye Manseed has been living in the mansion, and she can't afford to raise a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks, but living in this world, she doesn't want Ye Manseed to be slandered for this.

Ye Manzi covered his mouth and smiled, "I didn't see how happy they were to go around behind people's backs and say that their husbands were not, and that man was not a thing, no matter what was dirty or smelly, he was pulled into his arms, and he was not afraid of soiling himself" and then sighed, "If you marry someone like my eldest brother, third brother or brother-in-law, I am willing to stick it upside down." ”

Lin Long patted her on the shoulder, I really want to say that sister-in-law thinks too much, marriage is like running a business, it is not okay not to care. Like when she married Ye Xuyao, she had long been prepared to share her husband with others, but fortunately, their husband and wife became more and more affectionate along the way, which gave rise to their so-called good life.

"What are your sisters-in-law talking about, don't hurry up and sit down, it's time to start the banquet." Ye Zhong had just finished talking to Ye Cheng in the fourth room, and saw that Lin Long was still talking to Ye Manzi, so he raised his voice and called out.

"Here it is." Lin Long answered, patted Ye Manzi's shoulder again, and then turned around and went back to his seat.

At the beginning of the banquet, it was suddenly very lively.

Gu Xuefei drank some wine, felt hot on her face, and whispered to her mother, Gu Guoshi stopped communicating with others, and whispered, "Be careful." ”

"Got it, it's not in the way with Yuzhi to follow." Gu Xuefei responded.

She really wanted to go to the toilet after drinking some wine, and she wanted to blow the wind outside to sober up, and now with her mother's permission, she was helped by the maid to get up and go outside.

As soon as I got outside, the cool late spring wind blew very comfortably, and I was busy looking for a subordinate of the Ye family to ask a question, and the other party led the way to the latrine.

After she relieved herself, she had the heart to look at the layout of this Hou Mansion.

The Xiangyang Hou Mansion is worthy of money, and the layout everywhere is exquisite, even some places can not even be compared to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, she was looking at it, but her ears heard someone not far away walking over and talking.

"I said you don't have to send me to the backyard, the banquet in the front yard is lively, you are the champion of the new department, it is also beneficial for you to have the eldest brother-in-law to lead you to know more people, your second brother-in-law will go out of Beijing to do business this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a period of time"

Gu Xuefei originally wanted to hide aside to avoid suspicion, but when she heard the words "Xinke champion", she immediately stopped, sorted out the clothes and hair on her body, and glanced at her maid Yuzhi, who nodded knowingly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for her sweetheart's voice to sound, this voice appeared many times in her dreams, only to hear Lin Dong say, "Second sister, you just got pregnant, didn't the second brother-in-law tell you to be more careful, this is not sloppy, it was not easy to add a companion to Brother Yi'er, how can you be careful to maintain it, I will send you to the door of the hall and turn around, you can't miss the things in the front yard"

Lin Qi was heartbroken by her brother's words, it was a good full moon banquet, and there was a will passed to her husband in the palace, and her husband had to hurriedly take the order and set off, she was afraid that she would miss the banquet when she went to see each other, and then she smiled and said, "I have many reasons for you, I can't say you, I'll talk to the eldest sister later, let the eldest sister say that you, which girl are you, why are you lost here?"

Before she finished speaking, she found Gu Xuefei on the side, and couldn't help but stop and ask curiously.

Lin Dong, who was supporting Lin Qi, heard this, turned his head to look, and saw Gu Xuefei at this time with a pretty face, and the goose yellow dress made her more gentle and amiable, this appearance immediately evoked his memories, and he smiled, "It's you." ”

"I've seen Grandma Huo, Master Zhuangyuan." Gu Xuefei couldn't help but be shy and blessed Lin Dong, "It just so happened that I met here, and the little woman thanked the champion for his rescue yesterday." ”

"Oh, I know you, you are the woman who went to see the street yesterday and met a bad guy calling for help" Lin Qi helped Gu Xuefei up, not surprisingly she knew her identity, after all, she heard about the follow-up of this matter later, especially the Gu family sent a lot of gifts to the Lin family to thank her.

"Grandma Huo recognizes me" This time it was Gu Xuefei's turn to look surprised, and then thought that her mother had mentioned to her that the person who caught Dong Feng yesterday was a little servant from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, so it was not surprising that Lin Qi knew about it, but she was afraid that the other party was also there when she was parading on the street yesterday, and after thinking about it, she lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Yes, I was there yesterday." Lin Qi has always been quick to talk.

Lin Dong smiled gently, "Miss Gu doesn't need to say thank you anymore, the Marquis of Xuanping has already thanked her, and besides, this is just a gesture." ”

His eyes stared at Gu Xuefei carefully, this face was unusually familiar, he seemed to have seen it there, he was suspicious when he met him on the street yesterday, but it was difficult for many people to ask questions at that time, and of course it was not good to ask people if they had met each other and other abrupt words.

What's even more unspeakable is that he had a colored dream last night, and now he feels even more embarrassed when he sees Gu Xuefei, he is really sorry for the girl in such a dream, but he has a strange feeling for Gu Xuefei in his heart. This is the first time he has made such a move since he grew up, and it seems that the recuperation over the years has been effective, which also makes him feel a little relieved.

In fact, during this period of time, his marriage was always heard in the mouth of his family, he was slightly flustered and felt heavy, the experience of his youth brought him great sequelae, one is physiological and the other is psychological, Doctor Zhang said that he must overcome the psychological level, otherwise even if the body is well healed, this heart is not good.

If his body does not recover, wouldn't it hurt people to be widowed if he reluctantly marries someone else's girl and enters the door, which is also the reason why he wanted to avoid marriage before, no man wants to be questioned about his ability in that regard, and he is naturally no exception.

But after that dream, he could finally rest assured. Now that I look at Gu Xuefei, I feel that she is extremely beautiful.

Lin Qi saw the strangeness of his younger brother at a glance, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Xuefei quickly glance at Lin Dong, and then lowered her head, her eyes rolled, and she smiled, "Brother Dong, it's rude for you to look at other people's girls like this, don't you hurry up and apologize to others." ”

Lin Dong came back to his senses at this time, realizing that he had lost his mind, and he made a gesture to Gu Xuefei with an apologetic face, "Miss Gu, I was offended just now, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

"Where." The blush on Gu Xuefei's face spread to the base of her ears.

"My younger brother has always been the most obedient to etiquette, I haven't seen him in Su Ri, the eldest girl Gu girl doesn't bother him," Lin Qi explained with a smile.

"How can the champion be a righteous gentleman, the little woman has always admired her." Gu Xuefei said busily.

Lin Dong couldn't help but blurt out at this moment, "Gu girl, except for yesterday, have I seen you anywhere?"

"Brother Dong" Lin Qi called his younger brother with a straight face, he seemed to be annoyed on the surface, but in his heart he praised his brother's behavior, and if he is interested in other girls, he must not be ashamed to attack, it seems that no matter how gentle a man is on the surface, there is still no shortage of instincts.

Lin Dong realized what he had said, and he was busy apologizing.

Gu Xuefei was generous and blessed again, "In fact, the little girl has seen the champion before. ”

Ignoring the blush, she chanted the poem she heard in the restaurant that day, and secretly looked at Lin Dong's surprised face, secretly happy in her heart.
