In the carriage, the atmosphere was very low, Lin Long didn't say anything, and Ye Xuyao didn't speak.

After a while, Lin Long, who was looking at the street scene shrouded in the sunset, took the lead in speaking, "Ye Xuyao, give me some more time to think about this marriage." These are the words that she has softened.

Ye Xuyao frowned, he really didn't know what else she was thinking? couldn't help but sneer, "Lin Long, you really give people a sense of frustration." ”

Hearing these words, Lin Long turned his head to look at him, his little face was solemn, "Haven't you heard that men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man?" How do I know if you're going to be my sweetheart? Your mother doesn't seem to like me very much, and I don't know the bottom of my heart when I marry you. ”

At least she was ready to become his wife, and it took a process, and she hadn't been in touch with her since she heard about it, and it came too suddenly.

Ye Xuyao looked at her serious eyes, she couldn't laugh when she sneered this time, he was so unreliable in her eyes? "Lin Long, apart from me, you probably can't find a better marriage, I can't promise you anything else, at least there is no such thing as spoiling a concubine and killing a wife here, I will be responsible for you to the end after marrying you." The tip of his eyebrows frowned slightly, but finally the corners of his mouth curled, "As for my mother, I believe that as long as you are a little concerned about this marriage, this will not be a problem, will it?" ”

Lin Long was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Ye Xuyao to give her such a promise, more than she could have expected, it seemed that it was not so bad to really be married to him for a lifetime, at this moment, she felt that her heart was shaking slightly, her pretty face flushed, she turned her face away from him.

Ye Xuyao glanced at her inexplicably, this little woman's mind was really heavy, and her face was even more ugly.

The carriage did not drive back to the Jade Skin Workshop, but drove back to the ancestral house of the Lin family.

"Master, it's here." The bandit stone reported outside.

Lin Long came back to her senses at this time, but Ye Xuyao lifted the curtain before her and went down, and when she lifted the curtain and was about to go down, she saw his big palm stretched out, and heard his blunt words in her ears, "Get out of the car." ”

She pouted slightly, and finally reached out to hold his big palm, and he stepped on the footstool tightly, slowly got out of the carriage, and looked at the door of the house shrouded in the slanting sun, she reached out and stroked the somewhat messy sideburns, "You go back." ”

He nodded, "Don't be cranky, some things are indispensable. ”

Lin Long didn't like to listen to these words very much, and it was not easy to talk to him at the door of his own house, so he responded casually, and hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

After Ye Xuyao saw her enter, he got back into the carriage, and when the carriage was leaving, he said to the bandit in a not very good tone: "Ming'er, find a plasterer and repair the dilapidated house for her." ”

Every time he saw her ancestral house in disrepair, he would feel uncomfortable, she lived in that house for three years, and the two old men of the Lin family were really harsh. And she's good, the money is earned, and she is not even willing to repair the house, which is really a dime and a dime.

Bandit Jian said a little happily: "Yes, master." ”

It was not easy for Ye to notice Miss Lin's seemingly crumbling room, and even he had to tear tears of sympathy.

When Ye Xuyao returned to the house, the lights were on, and it was not surprising that the brocade was waiting for him at the door, and before she could speak, he raised his feet to his mother's yard.

His mother, who did not seem to have had dinner yet, saw him and ordered it to be prepared.

The two mothers and sons did not have an overnight feud, Ye Zhong didn't want to get too stiff with his son, and said lightly: "It's useless, right?" Eat a bite. ”

Ye Xuyao nodded, and after cleaning his hands, he sat down opposite his mother, and the mermaids rushed in, serving the dishes one by one, and soon a table was filled.

Ye Zhong's family does not have a habit of talking during meals, and of course, Ye Xuyao, who has always been silent, will not be speechless.

After finishing the meal, Ye Zhongshi took the handkerchief in the brocade tray and pressed the corner of his mouth, and after cleaning his hands again, he said again: "What are you anxious about?" She can't run again, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, my mother will handle it properly, I have already said that her temperament must be soft, she doesn't understand this for a day, and I won't give in lightly for a day. ”

Ye Xuyao washed his hands slowly and methodically, and when he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, he said: "There is nothing wrong with her strong temperament, why does my mother need to rub her round and flatten?" Were you willing to do this when your grandmother treated you like this? ”

"This yard is one yard, what are you doing when you are confused together?" Ye Zhong was a little annoyed, her methods hadn't been used yet, compared to the old witch, she was already kind and kind enough.

"What's the difference?" Ye Xuyao dismantled his mother's platform, "I didn't see the difference, mother, what she likes is this temperament, I don't want her to change, if your anger can't go down, then wait for her to come to your door to apologize, this matter is revealed." ”

Ye Zhongshi couldn't help but think of that sentence, the son married his daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, and before he married into the door, he maintained her everywhere, and it was her who lost it, if she was replaced by her mother-in-law like an old witch, I was afraid that my nostrils would be crooked because of my anger. "You help her like this everywhere, and you don't know if you hurt her in the future, and I can't see that she will come to apologize to me."

As soon as Ye Xuyao heard this, he knew that his mother had already given in, and there was a faint smile on his face, "She will." ”

Ye Zhongshi glared at his son, and couldn't help but say a sour word, "People don't seem to like you now, don't you dislike being hot?" ”

Ye Xuyao was not annoyed, and when he whispered to the bandit Jian that Fu Nian was here again, he got up and prepared to leave, "Mother, don't be so sure, soon, you will know if I am hot." I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Ye Zhong's couldn't help but rise again, "What's the good thing about having a son, I'm busy all day long, and I don't have a mother in my eyes." ”

The brocade who was serving her tea heard this, and her face couldn't help but be a little sneering.

Ye Zhongshi glanced at her, didn't crusade against her son behind her back, and took a sip of fragrant tea with a sip of tea residue.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Long, who couldn't sleep, got up and took out all the herbs she had told Aunt Green to prepare, especially the silver pill grass, looking at the plump appearance, it seemed that what Uncle Chen sent was picked, she sorted the herbs one by one, put them in the steamer, and prepared the herb juice.

Sitting down and pulling the bellows, watching the fire burn up, she went to adjust the fat again, in short, she didn't let herself be idle, she had to be busy, so that her heart could calm down.

After the whole family got up, Lin Qi didn't even get to the kitchen, but he smelled the strong smell of medicine, and couldn't help but look at Aunt Green anxiously, "Didn't you put out the fire yesterday?" ”

Aunt Green said: "Yes, it would be bad if the fire was not turned off." "There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the kitchen, and I can't afford to lose it.

The two hurriedly turned to the kitchen, and saw that Lin Long was grinding jasmine seeds, and there were already a lot of grinding ones next to him, and his eyes turned, and there was a skin ointment that was drying on the other side, exuding a fresh medicinal fragrance.

Mama Su was making breakfast, and quietly said to the stunned two, "The girl is estimated to get up before the fifth watch." ”

Aunt Green and Lin Qi glanced at each other, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

Lin Qi stepped forward, looked at the finely polished gouache, and couldn't help but put his mouth down, "Sister, you're all finished, what else am I doing?" ”

Lin Long put down the work in his hand, looked at the bowl full of gouache, and said expressionlessly: "There is still a lot of work, you really have to do it, don't worry about running out of work to do." ”

"Sister Long, are you in a bad mood? Tell Erniang to listen, and Erniang will give you a plan. Aunt Green cautiously paced over and asked.

Lin Long said: "It's okay, where did Erniang go?" By the way, what about those two helpers yesterday? ”

"My hands and feet are still diligent, I let them tidy up the flowers and plants outside, and I didn't let them get close to here, and some methods and practices can't be known to them, by the way, they ask for a daily salary." Aunt Green said busily.

Lin Long pondered for a while, "Give it to them, I know they are not at ease, our shop is newly opened, and it looks like business is good, but it is not a time-honored brand in the end." ”

"Hey, I see." Aunt Green said, "I have already asked Shopkeeper Lin to go and say hello to Zhang Yayu to see if there is a suitable person to buy two back." ”

Lin Long let out a light "um" and continued the work in his hand.

Aunt Green saw that she was not interested in talking, so she could only stand awkwardly for a while, and finally had to help Mama Su make breakfast.

The family had just finished breakfast, and when Lin Dong packed up his things and was about to go to the academy, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

The family looked at each other, wondering how there were visitors early in the morning?

Lin Long said: "I'll send my brother out and take a look." ”

Aunt Green and Lin Qi were not at ease, and they also followed behind to the gate.

"Hula" opened the door, and Lin Long saw Bandit Shi standing there with a smiling face, "Miss Lin, good morning." ”

"Why are you here?" Lin Long frowned, stretched his neck to look, but didn't see Ye Xuyao, so he looked at the Ye family again suspiciously. "What are you doing here?"

Bandit Shi smiled hard, just to try to leave a good impression on Lin Long, he didn't have many opportunities to show his face in front of this future master mother recently, "Our master sent the little one to repair Miss Lin's house." ”

Lin Long saw a group of plasterers behind him, and looked back at his somewhat dilapidated house, it really needs to be repaired, but what does it matter to him Ye Xuyao? Just as he was about to refuse, Bandit Shi turned around and beckoned the plasterer behind him to enter the room past Lin Long and the others, vowing to do this errand well.

"By the way, our lord said, don't Miss Lin take a penny." Bandit Shi turned around and said, Miss Lin loves money, and it is estimated that she will be happy to hear it, and the master really understands her.

Lin Qi pulled his sister aside, and said with surprise on his face: "Sister, I think this future brother-in-law is really good, and he actually noticed our house, don't talk about helping to repair, this doesn't cost money." ”

Lin Long pinched her ears, "You have a little backbone, okay, he's not your brother-in-law yet, don't scream." ”

"It hurts, it hurts...... Lin Qi rescued his ear from the eldest sister's hand, and said unceremoniously to her: "You just continue to go high." With a heavy snort, he turned and headed back into the back room.

Lin Dong's lips moved for a long time, and he wanted to say something, but looking at the eldest sister's unkind face, it was difficult to say anything else at this time, so he had to say, "I'm going to the academy." ”

Mama Su didn't dare to sweep to the end of the typhoon, so she hurriedly sent Lin Dong to the door.

Only Aunt Green sighed: "Sister Long, you can't go on like this, I know that this marriage is bothering you, but when you look at the second master and the third master's daughter, you know that this marriage is really beneficial...... Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it, it's all right? Seeing Lin Long frowning at her, she immediately shut up, shook her head and turned to the house.

Early in the morning, the whole family was shrouded in Lin Long's yin and yang strange aura.

Lin Long looked at the bandit stone who was busy directing the craftsmen to repair the house, and then at the craftsman who arranged the tiles on the roof and re-added the tiles, as his sister said, Ye Xuyao was really careful this time.

After looking at it for a long time, she didn't say anything more, took some things and turned around to go to the store.

The business in the shop is very good, Lin Long didn't help to greet him, he is very hot today, so as not to offend the guests, and go to the back to settle the account.

After sending the expensive rouge gouache ordered by the dignitaries before, the silver recovered was as much as eight hundred taels, which was really a considerable amount, and the abacus beads "crackled", and she finally showed a satisfied smile for the increasing numbers.

"Girl, is someone looking for you?" Lin Nan's family came in and reported to her.

Lin Long was stunned, "Who is it?" ”

"The old slave hasn't seen it." Lin Nan's family said sincerely, "It looks like a girl from a rich family, but it doesn't look like it." ”

What does it mean to be like and not like? Lin Long frowned, if she was a regular customer, she naturally knew that she would come in to find her, instead of waiting outside. "Let her in."

She put the account books back in the drawer, and after a while, Lin Nan's family led two young women in, and the person in front of her took off her veil and said, "Miss Lin." ”

Lin Long looked at it for a while, and quickly recognized her, wasn't this person the famous Oiran in Suzhou City? It seems to be called Qi Niang, for this flower girl with the same name as her sister, it is difficult for her to remember it deeply?

"Our young lady came, why didn't you even serve a cup of tea?" Yan'er said unhappily, their young lady is the object of everyone's pursuit, and Lin Long's snubbing is very unacceptable.

"I don't think I'm familiar with your young lady." Lin Long said expressionlessly, no woman from a good family will have a close relationship with a flower girl, which will affect the reputation of the girlfriend very much.

Qi Niang stopped the cigarette who was about to sneer at her, reprimanded her in a low voice, and warned: "Do you want to do something bad to me?" ”

Yan'er stopped talking at this time, and looked Lin Long up and down, but she was a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up, I don't know what Uncle Gao Guo likes about her? There was obvious disdain in his eyes.

Qi Niang stepped forward and smiled: "I came to find Miss Lin naturally for something." ”
