Mrs. Lin wore a gray and green carved silk squirrel cloak and stood outside the house in the main courtyard.

There were a lot of girls kneeling on the ground under her feet, and they didn't dare to gasp.

The laughter inside the house and the outside seem to be two different worlds.

Mother Lu bit her lower lip secretly: "Aunt Lin? The old slave go knock at the door. ”

Mrs. Lin waved her hand, and her pale face was instantly replaced by a kind smile, and the next moment she knocked on the door herself.

Soon, Xia Ruan's voice in the house came out of the house: "Who? ”

"It's me." Mrs. Lin tried to lower her voice as much as possible to make her tone sound kind.

In the blink of an eye, the door of the room was opened by Du Ruo from the inside.

Xia Ruan walked out of the house in bloated clothes and saluted Aunt Lin: "Mother, why are you here?" Quick, come inside, it's freezing outside. ”

Xiao Yixue seemed to be a little caught off guard when she saw Mrs. Lin, standing on the edge of the desk, slightly stunned. She held the wolf pen in her hand, and the ink on the tip of the pen fell on the rice paper, making a clean and white paper instantly turn into a cloud of black.

After Xia Ruan helped Mrs. Lin to sit down close to the house, she coughed lightly at Xiao Yuanxi, and Xiao Yuanxi hurriedly walked to Mrs. Lin's side as if she had woken up, and blessed her body to salute Mrs. Lin.

"Xiaoxi, you have just recovered from the cold, if you are not completely well, you will not come to your third sister-in-law's yard." Aunt Lin looked at Xiao Yuanxi with a smile on her face, "What if you give your third sister-in-law after you are sick?" Your third sister-in-law is now pregnant, so you have to be more careful. ”

Xiao Yuanxi subconsciously took a step back. It's a little farther away from Xia Ruan.

It's just that her face is slightly pale.

Mother Lu echoed on the side, "Miss Thirteen, Mrs. Lin also cares about you, you see that it is snowing again, and Mrs. Lin is afraid that you will be sick again." You have always been in bad health, that's why Aunt Lin will let you keep it in the house, don't tire yourself out. ”

Xiao Yuanxi has been following Xia Ruan these days, and he has somewhat understood a little bit of human sophistication.

She used to think too much about the things in the house, so she almost gave up her life.

The girl she trusts the most around her will poison her food. And her mother ignored her. It's almost like she's a stranger. Fortunately, the third brother and third sister-in-law are still very good to her, otherwise, she doesn't know what the point of continuing to live is at all.

Today, the meaning of Mother and Lu's mother's words. She heard it too.

Lu's mother ostensibly cares about her body. Let her not come out and walk in the cold. But. In fact, it was to tell her not to walk around, no matter what kind of weather it was outside, it had nothing to do with her.

As long as she's obedient in her yard. It's best not to go anywhere.

so as not to disturb the eyes.

Xiao Yuanxi bit his lower lip, and what reached the tip of his tongue was a faint fishy smell.

"Mother, this is not mine." Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Yixue's lower lip and seemed to be bleeding, and said with some distress, "I've been a little bored these days, and I want to learn embroidery, so I will let Xiaoxi come over to accompany me." But mother, don't worry, Xiaoxi's body is already well. She goes out for more walks now, which is good for her body. ”

Mrs. Lin raised her head and looked at Xia Ruan, pretending to be puzzled: "How are you doing?" The doctor showed you? You're talking about the girl next to you, or the country man. ”

When she said this, Mrs. Lin had a smile on her face, but her words were a little bitter.

"Madam, Aunt Lin also cares about you, this ......" Mother Lu hurriedly helped Aunt Lin explain, and some cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and it was indeed a little difficult for Aunt Lin to control her mood at this time.

Old Man Lin's carriage was stuck on the road for some days, so Old Man Lin simply asked people to send a letter to the capital. As a result, when Mrs. Lin saw the letter today, she threw the rosary in her hand on the ground and almost stood up and cursed.

Mother Lu couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuanxi, who was standing on the side, with a pair of innocent and clear eyes that most resembled Aunt Lin's wife, and subconsciously couldn't help but sigh.

What a sin.

Many times, Mrs. Lin would also kneel in front of the Buddha and ask: "My Buddha has always been merciful, why did you want to take my son's life in the first place, why did you ask for Xiaoxi's life if you want to ask for your life, why do you want to ask for my son's life." Buddha, you are making me worse than death, and life is better than death. ”

Mother Lu looked away and didn't look at Xiao Yuanxi again.

Xiao Yuan looks too much like Aunt Lin when she was a child, whether it is those eyes or that look, they are like carved out of a mold.

Mother Lu thought for a while, looked at the tea sent by Duran, and quickly took it, "Aunt Lin, madam, you drink tea." ”

Lu's mother changed the topic, and there was no one around to answer what she had just said.

Xia Ruan sat not far from Mrs. Lin, Du Ruo's face remained unchanged, as if she hadn't listened to Mrs. Lin's sarcastic words just now.

Mrs. Lin looked at the people in the room and said to the people around her, "You guys go down, I'll talk to Xiao Ruan." ”

Xiao Yuanxi looked at Xia Ruan with some concern, but when she saw Xia Ruan nodding towards her, she reluctantly followed Du Ruo and stepped back.

The room was quiet, only Aunt Lin and Xia Ruan were in the room, and even the slight sound of the tea cup resting on the table could be heard clearly.

Xia Ruan didn't take the initiative to speak, she was waiting for Aunt Lin to speak.

"Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you." Mrs. Lin held the teacup and didn't put it down, pretending to hesitate, "When Xiao Jiu told me to marry you, I didn't agree at first, not because you are not good, but because you are from a merchant household, and Xiao Jiugui is the Hou Ye, this is not the right household, and you two will be unhappy in the future." But Xiao Jiu insists on marrying you, and he wants to give you the position of his wife, and I, as a mother, have no way to take him. ”

Aunt Lin held the teacup tightly, "You know a little bit about Nan Xiao, now that I am such a son, I still expect him to restore Nan Xiao's former prosperity." In recent days, my health has been getting worse and worse. I always dreamed of his father in my dreams, and his father reprimanded me for not taking good care of the children, and asked me why I didn't give Xiao Jiu a concubine, did I want Nan Xiao to cut off his children and grandchildren? ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be able to cry in the next moment.

Xia Ruan just stared at the upper of her shoes, she didn't pay attention to Aunt Lin's expression, even if that person's acting skills were amazing, she didn't want to take a second look.

Aunt Lin naturally didn't notice this, "Now you are pregnant. I can't serve Xiao Jiu anymore. So I thought...... I want to discuss with you and find a few aunts for Xiao Jiu. ”

Aunt Lin finally finished speaking, and then put down the tea cup in her hand and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She will take the initiative to come to Xia Ruan. And because of what my son said in the past.

Her son she knows best. Xiao Jiu has been a very possessive person since he was a child. Something he likes. Definitely not let people touch it, even if they just look at it too much. This is the first time he has been in front of himself, saying that he will not take a concubine in the future. I am only willing to ask Xia Ruan alone. The look and tone of his voice at that time, Aunt Lin knew that her son was not joking with her.

So, she did think about it, and no longer asked about her son and Xia Ruan, anyway, this is the end of her life, her youngest son is dead, and she has Xiao Jiu to rely on.

The words written in her father's letter to her woke her up like a dream.

There are some things that she must meddle in, otherwise the situation will be beyond her control.

Mrs. Lin clenched her palms and waited for Xia Ruan to speak.

Xia Ruan pondered for a long time before he whispered, "Aunt Lin and Master Hou have the final say on these things." ”

Aunt Lin never thought that Xia Ruan would say this, she turned her head to look at Xia Ruan, and there was a little doubt in her eyes.

She thought that Xia Ruan would stand up and yell at her, and then she would speak disrespectfully to her, so that the maids outside the house would hear Xia Ruan's words, and when the time came, Xia Ruan's disrespect for her would also reach her son's ears. She has been wronged, and her son will definitely come to comfort her, and when she says that she will let her son take a concubine, her son will have no excuse to refuse.

The worst thing is that Xia Ruan should also cry at this time, completely losing his square inch.

Aunt Lin's heart was cold, could it be that Xia Ruan didn't like her son at all, so she didn't take her son to heart when she took a concubine?

"What do you mean? Do you agree with this? When Aunt Lin said this, she kept looking at Xia Ruan, as if she wanted to guess Xia Ruan's thoughts from Xia Ruan's face.

Xia Ruan just smiled bitterly and said to Aunt Lin: "I remember that my father-in-law also married a few aunts back then, I don't know what my mother thought at that time?" The way I feel now is my mother's mood at that time. No, it could even be said a thousandfold. ”

Aunt Lin was a little speechless for a while.

Of course, she remembered how her husband felt when he married a concubine.

The joy outside made her feel like mourning when she listened to it.

The happy appearance of the people around her made her feel that these smiles were actually sarcastic to her.

The pain that pierced her heart countless times with needles and needles, and countless late nights, would also make her wake up from her dreams in pain.

How could it be possible to forget those days?

Aunt Lin looked away from Xia Ruan's face, "At that time, I hoped that the master would be well. ”

"I also hope that Master Hou is good, he is my husband and my future dependence." Xia Ruan took Aunt Lin's words, "So, mother, what can Master Hou do about this matter." ”

Aunt Lin felt a headache, if her son agreed to marry his aunt, she wouldn't have to talk to Xia Ruan about these things.

It was because her son didn't agree that she hoped that Xia Ruan would take the initiative to mention this matter to her son, after all, her son really liked Xia Ruan. Therefore, Xia Ruan's son will not refuse what he proposed.

There is another reason for this, that is, Xia Ruan took the initiative to propose that his son would definitely be hurt by Xia Ruan, so he would choose another woman.

"I want you to talk to Xiao Jiu about this matter." Aunt Lin pondered for a moment before she said, "You are already Mrs. Chang'an Hou, you should learn to be virtuous and virtuous and take care of the overall situation." (To be continued......)
