Follow-up (21) declined
Lin Long smiled: "No matter how hard you catch up, it won't be so fast?" Before that, we have to settle our old grudges. ”
Lin Qi is right to think about it, they taught Gu Jing to be angry for Lin Dong before, and they have formed a bond with the Gu family, this public case can't be done, and it is in vain to talk about any marriage.
After sighing, she said, "I was really impulsive at that time, and I caused trouble for Brother Dong. ”
The sister and brother did not have an overnight feud, and after a few words of quarrel that day, they naturally loved each other again, in the treatment of Gu Xuefei, she held the opinion of the eldest sister, and they were almost a family, so there was no need to find fault with Gu Xuefei too much, and she had to save some face for her brother.
Lin Long stretched out his hand and gently brushed the broken hair on her sideburns behind her ear, "It's done, it's too late to say anything now, and there's nothing to regret besides, you are pregnant with a baby now." ”
When Lin Qi heard this, the eldest sister was right, there was no need for her to be sad.
The carriage drove into the Gu family, and Gu Guo was still a little resentful in her heart, so she didn't come out to greet her, but she still sent her cronies and grandmothers to greet the Lin sisters according to the etiquette, and she didn't dare to do too much.
Grievances should be resolved rather than settled, she understands this truth better than anyone else, which lady in this capital does not have her own little Jiujiu in her heart? For the sake of the prosperity of the family, these truths do not need to be taught.
Lin Long got down from the carriage with his sister, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the smiling grandmother of the Gu family stepping forward to greet him.
"Get up." She said softly.
"Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, Mrs. Huo, and Mrs. are already waiting in the main hall, please ask the two ladies to go with the old slave."
The Lin sisters glanced at each other and nodded, allowing this ancient grandmother to lead the way.
The building of the Xuanping Hou Mansion is roughly the same as the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, but the area is slightly smaller, and the pattern is not much different.
It took several turns to reach the main hall.
Lin Long looked at the main hall, this ancient lady was also interesting, she didn't meet her in the backyard, but chose this main hall, or not, she went to meet her.
Gu Guo saw the Lin sisters led in by their subordinates at a glance, and instinctively wanted to stand up to greet the visitors, but when they thought of their son's injuries and blocked future, their teeth itched again, and their half-raised buttocks sat back in their original positions.
Lin Long glanced at Gu Guo's constipated look, he wanted to laugh but was not funny, this Gu Guo was also interesting, he wanted to show her face, but he was afraid of doing too much, this contradictory psychology really made people not know what to say.
"How is Madam Gu doing?" She started gossiping about her parents.
Gu Guo looked at Lin Long's appearance of a no-nonsense person, and grinded her teeth again with hatred, why didn't she take any responsibility for it? "Madame Toye's blessing, it's fine."
Because the two are at the same level, this etiquette is exempted, but Lin Qi gave Gu Guo a salute.
The corners of Gu Guo's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand lightly and said, "Mrs. Huo doesn't need to be polite. ”
"Yes." Lin Qi said with a smile.
Seeing Lin Qi's insincere smile, Gu Guo's face was stunned, and under her buttocks, she was like sitting on a volcano pile and was very uncomfortable, she moved her buttocks, she quickly let the two of them sit down, and then served tea.
After some red tape, Gu Guo's Fang felt a little more comfortable, although he was a lot older than the Lin sisters, but facing these two sisters, it still made people feel their scalps tingle, especially Lin Long.
After taking a sip of tea to calm her mind, she spoke again, "What kind of wind blew the two distinguished guests here today?" I'm not welcome, don't worry about it. ”
"How so?" Lin Long also touched the teacup with his lips, and then put it on the table on the side, "Actually, the two of us sisters came here to resolve the previous grievances, and we deeply regret the matter of Gu Shizi, but in fact, it is just ......a misunderstanding at best."
"What a misunderstanding? My son has been beaten to bed until now, and you have revealed it with a light sentence now? Is it so easy in this world? ”
Gu Guo's face was angry, these two sisters were also too deceitful.
Lin Qi glanced at Gu Guo's family, did he really start a dyeing workshop after giving three points of color? Then he replied very quickly, "Didn't the ancient son of your family also beat my brother?" This back and forth has eliminated each other, and this matter has not been revealed? What else does Madame Gu want? ”
Lin Long glanced at his sister, and Lin Qi quickly stopped talking.
Gu Guo's face immediately turned cold, and his hand held the handle tightly.
Lin Long didn't ignore her small movements, and said, "Mrs. Gu, my sister speaks straight, don't take it to heart." ”
"Nature." Gu Guo replied stiffly.
"Actually, this matter is really a misunderstanding, Gu Shizi hurt people, do we as sisters have to stand by? After all, we only have such a younger brother, I hope Mrs. Gu can understand our feelings of being sisters, just as we also know the difficulties of being a mother, and understand each other, so that we can be friendly from generation to generation, Mrs. Gu, what do you say? ”
Lin Long said these words with a smile, just as the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Gu Guo's face was not good anymore, and after a long time, her face eased and she said, "Mrs. Ye, what you said is also reasonable, okay, I provoked this dispute first, I will not feel distressed at all if he suffers, but this injury can be good, and his future is ......."
"Don't worry about this, Mrs. Gu, I don't have a deep grudge with your Gu family, and I will definitely not obstruct it again." Lin Long assured.
Gu Guo's hearing this, she completely let go of her heart, compared to Lin Qi who was rectal, she was more jealous of Lin Long, this woman from a humble background but who could sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Xiangyang Hou was not simple.
"In that case, then I can really rest assured."
Lin Long saw that Gu Guo's mood was relaxed, so he brought the topic back on track, "Mrs. Gu, let the daughter and my brother fall in love, and I, who is a sister, are also happy to see it come to fruition, since our grievances have been resolved, why don't we marry Qin Jin?" Let their two little children have a long-cherished wish, and our sisters have discussed with each other and choose an auspicious day to propose marriage......"
"It's not going to work." Gu Guo didn't wait for Lin Long to finish speaking, and immediately refused with a straight face.
Lin Long's eyes narrowed slightly, what does this Gu Guo mean?
The smile on Lin Qi's face gradually retracted, is Gu Guo still holding a grudge?
Gu Xuefei, who was eavesdropping outside the window, heard her mother's categorical words, her heart tightened, her hand clutched the handkerchief tightly, why did her mother's attitude change so quickly?
Yuzhi hurriedly stabilized her girl's body, and when she saw the expectation in the girl's eyes gradually disappearing, her heart ached, and she called in a low voice, "Girl? ”
Gu Xuefei gently pushed away the maid's support, she was not so soft, her mother's refusal was in her expectation, but it was inevitable that her heart hurt.
When she heard that the Lin sisters had come to the house to discuss with her mother, she couldn't sit still in her boudoir, so she brought her maid Yuzhi to the main hall to eavesdrop, but the result was like this.
"I'm fine." She said softly.
There was another noise in the room, and she hurried closer to continue eavesdropping.
Gu Guo knew that his three words were too hard before, so his expression softened a little and continued, "Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Huo, please forgive me, I didn't mean to refuse to embarrass everyone, it's just that the qualifications of our sister Fei are in conflict with Lin Zhuangyuan, and it is not good for both parties to reluctantly get married, so I have to refuse painfully." ”
"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Lin Long raised his eyebrows, this excuse is also obvious, right?
Lin Qi also set his eyes on Gu Guo's to see what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd? "Mrs. Gu's words are also fresh."
During the full moon banquet of her eldest sister and youngest son, Gu Guo's attitude of wanting to marry was not to mention how obvious, but now this attitude has changed greatly, don't tell her that there is no reason behind it, she won't believe a word.
Gu Guo sighed and said, "The two ladies think that I am shirking, and I have no choice, and each family has its own difficulties." Sister Fei'er was not very good when she was a child, and our ancient family also extended the medical pulse everywhere for this, and used a lot of medicine at that time to no effect, so anxious that we went around, and then got a senior monk to guide and do several rituals, and the disease gradually improved. ”
After a pause, seeing that the Lin sisters listened carefully, she pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued: "The day before yesterday, the senior monk sent someone to say that she had pushed the fate chart for our sister Fei, and she should not marry a man three years older than her, otherwise it would be a blessing or a curse. ”
Sighing, she looked like a mourning soldier, "I really ask the two ladies to understand, aren't Sister Fei and Lin Zhuangyuan exactly three years apart?" So this marriage is really not possible, and I am also for the good of the two of them. ”
"It's the first time I've heard of such a statement." Lin Long said.
Lin Qi looked thoughtful, is this Gu Guo true or false? It's hard to tell for a while.
"That's why I said that I ask the two ladies to forgive me for my difficulties, Lin Zhuangyuan is really a good candidate for a son-in-law, if it weren't for this senior monk suddenly sending someone to advise, I would definitely be very happy to turn the two families into a jade silk to marry Qin and Jin." Gu Guo said with a sad face.
She actually felt really sorry, Lin Dong, the boy, looked very pure and gentle, but there were these two sisters, otherwise this was really a good family affair that couldn't be found with a lantern.
Gu Xuefei, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was also stunned at the moment, even she had heard of her mother's statement for the first time, and her life was in conflict with Lin Dong's? It doesn't sound like possible.
Turning his head and asking his cronie Yuzhi in an imperceptible voice, "When did our family ever come to the envoy of a high monk?" ”
Yuzhi shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
Gu Xuefei immediately clenched her fists, if she hadn't suddenly rushed in to question what was wrong, she really wanted to act impulsively.
"Girl, can't you do something stupid? Your marriage is being discussed inside, where will you put your face if you go out? Yuzhi whispered to her own girl.
Gu Xuefei nodded and replied, "I know it in my heart." ”
No matter how anxious she is, it is impossible for her to make an outrageous act to make people look down on her, and it is the same if she asks her mother afterwards if she has some words.
The atmosphere in the room was a little sluggish because of Gu Guo's unexpected words, and the Lin sisters did not sit for a long time, and their expressions were still a little solemn when they left.
Gu Guo didn't take Qiao again this time, and personally sent the two away.
Lin Long poked his head out of the carriage window, "Madam Gu stays." ”
"Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Huo walks slowly, he will have a chance to reunite again one day." Gu Guo said polite words, she really didn't want to deal with the Lin sisters.
Lin Long nodded his head, and Lin Qi leaned on the soft pillow without saying a word.
When the carriage drove out of the ancient mansion, she hurriedly asked the eldest sister, "Sister, do you really believe what she said?" ”
"Believe it or not, check it and you will know." Lin Long said calmly.
As long as it is true, there will be traces.
Gu Guo, who watched the carriage leave the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, also sneered, "I'm not afraid of them checking either." ”
When her daughter was young, she did go to the doctor everywhere, and she had hopes at that time, but no doctor could help her, and in the end, it could only be such a result.
As for the so-called enlightened monk, although she made it up, but it can also stand up to scrutiny, she burns incense and worships the Buddha in one place all the year round, and the abbot of the temple is indeed a virtuous monk.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around to go back, her daughter suddenly appeared in front of her, and immediately startled her, "Sister Fei?" ”
"Mother, I just overheard your conversation with Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Huo, what you said is true?" Gu Xuefei got to the heart of the matter in one sentence.
Gu Guo was stunned, and then nodded, "Of course it's true, my mother didn't want to tell you these things, but now that you know it, my mother won't hide it from you, you broke off your mind about marrying Lin Dong as soon as possible, and it's for your own good." ”
"Mother, I don't believe it, there was no sign at all before this, I remember that you also supported my admiration for Lin Zhuangyuan, and helped me with advice for this, mother, you want to make up a decent one, okay?"
Gu Guo's face sank again, this daughter is really here to collect debts, "Sister Fei, anyway, I will give you the reason, you love to believe it or not, and I don't force you to be a mother, but marriage is the life of your parents, and if you and your father don't agree, it's in vain for you to think about it." ”
Seeing her daughter's stubborn face, how could her adopted daughter not know about female love?
Gu Guo's heart jumped, and he said in an accentuated tone, "If you dare to elope regardless of the reputation and status of the Gu family, then you will no longer be the daughter of the Gu family, even if you die outside, I don't care." ”
Gu Xuefei didn't expect her mother to say so desperately, looking at her mother's face, if she really eloped for love, her mother really didn't care about her.
"Mother, don't you really feel sorry for your daughter?"
When Gu Guo saw his daughter's face, he immediately softened his heart, stepped forward and took his daughter's hands and said, "Sister Fei, believe in my mother, the person who loves you the most in this world is none other than my mother, and you will know in the future that everything is for your good ...... mother."
Gu Xuefei's ears were calloused when she heard these words, and she immediately threw off the hand held by her mother and turned away in a choked voice.
At this moment, her mother beat the mandarin duck and made her unable to accept it anymore.
Yuzhi was busy blessing the housewife, so she got up and chased after her.
Gu Guo looked at his daughter's long jump, and whispered helplessly, "If you want to blame, blame this God." ”
It seems that the Lin family intends to get married, and she is still a little worried about the Lin sisters, it seems that she still has to do it first, so she hurriedly went back and looked at the album sent by the iceman, hoping to pick a suitable son-in-law, and completely cut off her daughter's mind.
Lin Long did not go home, but sent her pregnant sister back to the Huo family, and immediately asked people to find Lin Dong, and in front of Lin Qi, she told her brother Gu Guo's words as they were.
I thought that my younger brother's face would change greatly when he heard it, but my younger brother just sank slightly, and there didn't seem to be much surprise.
"What? Aren't you surprised? She said softly.
She is still very satisfied with her brother's current performance, it seems that he has grown a lot by letting go of this marriage and letting him make his own decisions.
Her husband is right, it's time for her to let go, so that Lin Dong can afford to support a Lin family.
"Sister, I'm really not surprised, Mrs. Gu is afraid that she will not easily agree to marriage." Lin Dong said.
He swore to Gu Jing that day, just to let Gu Jing persuade Xuanping Hou and his wife on his behalf, from the beginning, he didn't think about this matter too simply.
"But what if her statement is true?" Lin Qi couldn't help but ask.
"Whether it's true or not, my brother thought he would have to check it to find out." Lin Dong said, "It's too early to say anything. ”
He didn't say it all at once, and at the moment he refused to think that this statement was true, he would work hard again for this marriage, and it was not his character to give up lightly.
If it weren't for the fact that this marriage had changed again and again, his thoughts about Gu Xuefei would not have been so deep, and now that this love is deeply rooted in his heart, he naturally wants to marry his sweetheart against all odds.
"That's true." Lin Long agreed, she was very satisfied with her brother's performance, "Brother Dong, you didn't act impulsively, the eldest sister is very pleased." ”
"The second sister is too, the sisters did manage too much before, but now it's just right." Lin Qi was also very emotional.
Quan Meihuan, who was sitting on the side, saw that the three children loved each other, not to mention how happy she was.
Now wait until the daughter-in-law marries into the door, and maybe by the end of next year, she will be able to hold her own grandson, which is beautiful just thinking about it.
Lin Dong was recognized by his two sisters, not to mention how excited he was, this was his long-cherished wish.
has been living under the protection of the two sisters, and now that he is the master of the house, he feels that the world is not easy, so he is still very grateful to the two sisters in the bottom of his heart.
The sisters discussed for a while, and then Lin Dong got up and left first, and went back to inform Lin Lu about this, after all, Lin Lu was also in a hurry, but it was not good to appear on the Huo family's territory, and this identity was embarrassing after all.
It wasn't until near the evening that Lin Long got up and went home, and before leaving, he told Lin Qi to pay attention to the fetus.
Lin Qi smiled, "Sister, you are so verbose, I have given birth to Brother Yi, what else are you worried about?" Come, Brother Yi, and say goodbye to your aunt. ”
Lin Long shook his head and smiled, approached the little man in his mother's arms, touched his little face and said, "Aunt will come to see Brother Yi next time." ”
Huo Yi liked Lin Long's aunt very much, so he leaned over and kissed Lin Long's face, "Auntie will come to play next time." ”
"Our brother is so good." Lin Long also kissed the villain's face, not to mention how happy he was.
Lin Qi was pregnant, but Lin Long didn't let her send more, so he drove her back.
When she returned to the house, it was just evening, first went to Ye Zhong's place to report a few words, and then brought back the primary five and six.
At this time, someone came to report, saying that the incense rafters and plain patterns had something to see.
Lin Long was stunned, it seemed that there must be something important when he came here at this hour, so he said, "Let the two of them come in." ”
The plain pattern outside the curtain was still a little hesitant, and the incense rafter pulled her inside, "What else do you want to do so much?" Let's ask grandma to make the decision for you. ”
Lin Long watched the two sisters come in curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
The incense rafter said quickly, "Grandma, Bandit Shi raised a woman outside, and asked Grandma to be the master of Suwen." ”
