The two men talked for a while, and the door opened. Yu's mother walked in the front and looked at Nian'er in a daze.

Nian'er also stood up and looked at Yu's mother.

The two men looked at each other like this, and neither of them said a word.

Instead, Yu's father pulled his wife's sleeve first and reminded: "Don't be stupid, the child finally came here, go and fry a few dishes!" ”

Yu's mother came back to her senses and said a little crampedly: "It's here, it's good to come in person." That one...... I don't have anything decent here, and since you husband and wife are here, I'm going to get ready!" ”

"No," Nian'er said hurriedly, "I'll just come over and take a look...... You guys. Nian'er smiled reluctantly, the two haunting names, she couldn't say it at the moment.

Yu's mother lowered her head and stood there helplessly. After the silence, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Chang Sheng saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Nian'er means, how can I let you be the hands of the elders." You guys rest, let's get busy, and by the way, try Nian'er's craft. ”

Nian'er glanced at Chang Sheng gratefully and nodded.

"I'll go too," Yu's mother said, "Zhi'er's body is inconvenient, and you men don't help, I'll help Nian'er." ”

Kitchen.

Nian'er and Yu's mother were busy with each other, and no one said a word. Occasionally, Nian'er secretly glanced at Yu's mother and made up her mind to speak first, but she always wanted to stop talking.

Yu's mother also wanted to speak, with countless words in her heart, always thinking that if she saw Nian'er one day, she would tell her in person. Now that Nian'er is in front of her, she can't say a word.

On this side, the two women have their own thoughts, and on the other side, the three men are talking and laughing.

"When you were a guard, did you see the emperor?" Father Yu asked curiously.

"Uncle...... How can it be," Chang Sheng realized the embarrassment of the title, and hurriedly hid, "I'm just a small personal guard, and the biggest official I've ever seen is the prince." ”

"Brother Chang's martial arts are very good," Fugui said excitedly, "I learned a little bit from him." It's just that I'm old and late at school, so I have to start from elementary school when waiting for our children. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhi'er next to him.

Chang Sheng smiled: "It's easy to say, but if it's a girl, don't learn it." Nian'er said that it is better for girls to stay away from those fights and killings and live a peaceful life. ”

In the kitchen, there was still silence. Nian'er saw that the fire was not strong enough, so she added some materials to the hearth. Unexpectedly, smoke came out in an instant, choking her and coughing.

"I'll do it." Yu's mother took the fan in Nian'er's hand and fanned it by the stove.

Nian'er stood aside and looked at her, a little overwhelmed.

Yu Mu glanced back at Nian'er and tried to speak: "Have you never used such a broken stove?" ”

"Yes, the things in the palace are all specially made, and they are naturally different from ordinary people." Nian'er replied.

"yes, they're big families." Yu's mother smiled, "When Zhi'er first got married, she wouldn't use it." ”

Nian'er smiled, but she didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was cold again for a while.

Soon the meals were ready. It's rare for a family to get together at the dinner table like this. With these men here, the atmosphere is quite harmonious. Yu's father kept praising Nian'er's good craftsmanship, and before he finished, he ate all the shredded potatoes that Nian'er fried.

"Sister Nian'er, eat fish." Fugui sandwiched a piece of fish for Nian'er and said, "I just caught it this morning, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

Yu's mother saw that Nian'er happily accepted the fish from Fugui, so she sandwiched a chopstick dish and put it in Nian'er's bowl.

Nian'er was stunned for a moment, smiled at Yu's mother, picked up the dish that Yu's mother had just clipped, and ate it in a big gulp.

Yu's mother looked at her lovingly, smiling all over her face.

At the end of the meal, Nian'er and Yu's mother didn't say a word. It's just that the two of them are very satisfied in their hearts - Nian'er understands that her parents love her, she has a home and relatives; And Yu's mother also believed that Nian'er no longer hated her and was willing to be a mother and daughter with her. Although no one broke it, although Nian'er never called them "Daddy" from the time she came here to the time she left, it was enough to have this tacit understanding in her heart.

Lin family.

Rujin was collecting clothes in the yard, but saw Yu Xuan coming head-on. She was a little embarrassed, she had seen him for the first time since she had made an agreement with him. On weekdays, she rarely goes out and doesn't eat with everyone; And Yu Xuan's foundation in Beijing is still unstable, there are a lot of business things, he goes out early and returns late every day, and he will not take the initiative to find Rujin, so naturally he has no chance to meet.

Rujin hugged her clothes, a little overwhelmed. Want to say hello? Or simply ignore him? hesitated like this, but saw Yu Xuan gradually approaching.

Rujin simply didn't look at him, and went to pick up the clothes that he didn't take off. The rest were hanging too high for her to reach, so she turned to fetch the bamboo poles that were placed by the wall.

"I'll do it." Yu Xuan said, stretched out his hand to take down the few pieces of clothing and handed them to Rujin.

"Thank you." Such as Jindao.

Yu Xuan nodded, and saw that Rujin was holding a lot of clothes in his arms, so he stretched out his hand and signaled, "I'll help you get it." ”

"I'd better take it myself," Rujin said busily, "it's not heavy at all." Besides, it's all women's clothes......" As soon as the words came out, she regretted it. It should be a great irony to say this to a man who has nothing to do with her.

"That's good." Yu Xuan said and walked away.

Rujin looked at the back of him leaving, full of desolation. This man, who was once regarded as a heaven by her, is her husband! Why can other couples have a mutual reliance, but she and him are not even as good as strangers?

Like what happened to Ning Xi, the person he had loved suddenly became strange; Or, like what she is suffering now, the man who decided to cling to her for the rest of her life refuses to want her, which is more painful? Ning Xi said that she hadn't moved her heart, and there should be less pain. However, whenever she sees this man with her own eyes, she will have an inexplicable emotion in her heart, always reminding her: this man is her husband, not someone who has nothing to do with her.

She knew that she shouldn't think that he didn't belong to her, he had his own home. It was a great gift for him to let her, a superfluous person, have a place in the Lin family. She shouldn't have the luxury of expecting what she can't get, she can't even think about it.

As the days passed, no one knew what would happen tomorrow. Soon, news of the failure of the Paris Peace Conference diplomacy spread throughout the country. The people were outraged, and the people, who had been dormant for many years, woke up. Students**, marching and demonstrating all day long, the whole city of Beijing boiled.

Putting down the newspaper, Yifeng said to Ning Xi: "I may not come to see you these days, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." Something so big happened, and the students outside had a falling out, I can't do anything else, at least protect them secretly! ”

"Yifeng," Ning Xi stood up and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

"You can stay well," Yifeng said, "such a dangerous thing, don't do it, don't worry me." ”

"I'll make a gun, you've seen it." Tidal Channel.

"You don't have to know how to use a gun to protect yourself......"

"I also infiltrated the Qian family's factory, in order to take revenge on Lin Yurui, I have done a lot of things, I am not afraid of anything!" Ning Xi insisted.

"Okay, whatever you want." Yifeng said helplessly, "But I said in advance, I'm not responsible for protecting you. ”

"Don't worry," Ning Xi smiled slyly, "Even if you don't agree, I'll sneak along." ”

Lin family.

Rujin changed into an old dress, hid a dagger in his sleeve, and was about to go out. At this time, Su Yi walked in with Shiping and said, "Sister, I'm going to go out to do something, and Shiping will be taken care of by you for the time being!" ”

"You're going to a parade?" Rujin asked.

"Yes, I'm going." Su Yi glanced at Rujin, "Sister is dressed like this, do you want to go too?" ”

Rujin nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "You may laugh at me if you say this." I don't understand the big truths of you scholars, but I understand that the land of our country is ours, and they have no right to give it to others! I can't do anything but go to a solo show. Let the eldest young master see that I'm not a woman who doesn't understand anything! ”

"I understand your feelings," Su Yi said, "but you have more important things to do right now. You know all about my condition, and this time I'm going to do the last thing with this half of my life. Shiping makes me feel most at ease, and I ask you to take care of her for me! ”

"Let me go for you, you're sick like this, how can you go to that dangerous place." Rujin pleaded.

"Just because time is running out, I have to fight again." Su Yi said, "Anyway, it's a person who is going to die, and there's no pity." It's Shiping, I hope you stay and take care of her. With you by her side, I can go with confidence. ”

"Shiping stays at home, let's leave it to Qinxin to take care of. She has taken care of children and takes better care of them than I do. Rujin said, "Or, take me with you." ”

"No," Su Yi took her hand, "for Yu Xuan, how painful it would be for you and me to be in danger. You stay, he is a loving and righteous person, and he will be responsible for you to the end. Although he doesn't take the initiative to see you these days, he has acquiesced to your existence. Even if he only feels guilty about you now, he believes that after a long time, even if he will not fall in love with you, at least he will treat you as a part of the family. ”

"It's not mine, I don't expect it." Rujin smiled bitterly, "It's just that you go out alone, I don't feel at ease." ”

"I hid it from my father and mother, and I hid it from Yu Xuan, but I only told you, because I believed in you." "Don't live up to my belief, okay?" ”

Rujin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shiping next to her with an ignorant face, and finally nodded and said, "Then you must come back safely." ”

"I will." Su Yi nodded. Squatted down again and said to Shiping: "Ping'er, my mother wants to go on a long trip, listen to my aunt's words, okay?" ”

"When will my mother come back?" Shiping asked.

"Soon," Su Yi said, "Shiping must be obedient and sensible, so that I can come back sooner." ”
