It was the middle of winter, and the sky was full of ice and snow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info and JAC, is the same biting chill.

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River even in winter, but also reveals a unique charm of delicacy and exquisiteness, Xunyang Lane is a shallow stream and river, because of the cold weather, the river floats with thin broken ice, occasionally a few rays of light leaked from the clouds, reflecting the crystal clear surface of the river.

In this alley, a family moved into the front of the year, looking at the posture of moving in and out, ushering in and sending in, the surrounding neighbors speculated, and it was estimated that it was a decent family, even if it was not a scholarly family, at least it was a wealthy businessman with a rich family.

Many small households in Pengmen are envious of the new neighbor's style, especially a few sharp-eyed little girls, who can always see the maid who stepped out of the back door wearing gold and silver, and the appearance of commanding, and the bottom of their hearts is even more sour.

I don't know how good the eldest lady who was born in this kind of family should be.

However, in fact, Lin Shuyao has not lived a comfortable and peaceful life since he was born. As the eldest daughter of an official eunuch's family, her identity is already embarrassing, not to mention that her mother-in-law has a wealthy family background, which is far better than that father, and it is more and more destined that their mother and daughter will not have any peaceful children.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law was gone, and he was desperately suppressed by his grandmother, and his father took his biological mother to take up a post abroad, and he was gone for six years.

Left the young and helpless Lin Shuyao, in the ancestral house, guarding his mother and grandmother.

She is a girl, not the concubine whom her grandmother hates the most, nor the precious grandson whom her grandmother loves the most. Therefore, Lin Shuyao grew up safe and sound, crazy, and did not understand the rules of female redness, and did not know the height of the sky.

After she got used to the days without parents in her life, her biological mother had a big belly and returned home with her father in infinite beauty. In her early sixties, Lin Shuyao, who was full of local flavor, could never forget the eyes of her grandmother when she saw that scene.

Later, the two younger brothers fell to the ground, which was the most glorious period of the biological mother.

Although Lin Shuyao was a little annoyed that her biological mother had left her, such a young child was still very happy. Thanks to those mothers-in-law who have broken mouths and love to chew the root of their tongues, Lin Shuyao's cognitive ability is excellent, and she understands more and more deeply that from then on, her biological mother has gained a foothold in the Lin family, and she has a future to rely on.

The younger brother grew up, and the biological mother became more and more domineering.

When another life was pinned on the belly of the biological mother, the mother-in-law, who had been widowed for almost her whole life, could no longer endure it.

The grandmother is getting old and the pain is gradually getting worse, and Lin Shuyao coldly watches this selfish and narrow-minded grandmother who has never been stupid to the end. Or should I say that, at that time she was very sad for the loss of this old man.

Because there is no longer anyone in the back house who can control the mother-in-law.

A few days after the birth of the mother, she was found to have thrown herself into a well.

No one believed that this promising woman, who had given birth to the only son of her lord, had died of her own free will.

What's more, it's Lin Shuyao.

The mother-in-law took away her younger brothers angrily, ignoring her who was still immature and impulsive.

At that moment, Lin Shuyao seemed to have a glimpse of her future.

She should be married to a family with sweet and bitter outdoors by her mother-in-law, and for the sake of fame, her mother-in-law will not maliciously and idiotically send her stepdaughter to a rich merchant in exchange for a rich dowry, or a family with a bad reputation to fill the house.

However, with her mother's scheming and skill, it is easy to quietly ruin the rest of her life.

If it weren't for meeting her cousin, it is very likely that Lin Shuyao's life would have ended.

"Count, you're my cousin, aren't you? Although there are no five suits, it is a pity that there has been no contact over the years. Lin Shuyao has never forgotten the face that suddenly appeared in front of him that day.

On this day, she happened to have an argument with her mother-in-law, holding a cup of hot tea and kneeling.

A girl a few years older than her, with simple clothes, clean sideburns, a beautiful and ordinary face, unsurprisingly her facial features exude an extraordinary charm, her eyes are dark and deep, accompanied by the corners of her lips with a smile, which actually made Lin Shuyao, who had gone through all kinds of hardships, have the urge to cry.

Her mother-in-law, Lu Shi, has always been a master of observing words and feelings, and she asked, "Dare to ask who this young lady is?" ”

Lin Qixu smiled and blessed, and his demeanor was calm.

Before Lin Qixu could consider the words, the young man beside him who was more childish and arrogant said in a huffing voice: "I am the eleventh lang of the Lin family, and I will return to the ancestral house with my father this time." "Lin Qichen is eleven in the Lin clan.

Lin Shuyao couldn't help but drop her eyes in astonishment.

Her family is just a side branch of the Lin family, and she has naturally heard of Lin Yanxuan, the pillar of the Lin family. Especially this year, there is a young and intelligent son-in-law, and he is the only son of Lord Lin.

Lin Shuyao always thought that this genius boy was a young and old, steady nerd, but he didn't think that he would be virtuous with her younger brother, the two demon kings of the mixed world.

The Lu clan relied on Mrs. Chu's strength to not even pay attention to his father, but now that he saw the two most proud juniors in the Lin clan, he couldn't help but slow down his tone and began to be angry.

"It was the eleventh son."

The Lu family looked at Lin Qichen with a smile, but when his eyes fell on Lin Qixu, who was kindly persuading his concubine, he inevitably aroused his disgust for Shu Jiao.

Fortunately, the Lu family has enough kung fu to nourish his qi, and he still said kindly: "I don't know who this is?" ”

Lin Qichen was looking at his beautiful cousin, but his ears were sensitive, and when he heard Lu's yin and yang belittlement of his sister, he immediately put away his laughter, and said with a straight face: "This is my own sister, I am Eleven Lang, she is nine!" ”

After that, Lin Qichen, who was proud of the spring breeze, didn't care whether the Lu family was an elder or something, pulled up his cousin and sister, snorted coldly, and strode away.

Lu's face was so heavy that he could drip water, but he calmly ordered his subordinates to pack up their things, and then go home and wait for the little hoof to return.

In the twilight of spring, unconsciously, there was a wet rain in the air, and anyone who walked outside would get half of his dress wet in a short time. Lin Shuyao supported his weak body, endured the pain in his wrist, and finally gradually exhausted himself in the smell of grass, and wandered in the wet grass and wildflowers.

When I woke up again, I saw an embroidered tent embroidered with purple and lilacs.

Lin Shuyao rubbed his head, barely cheered up, and it was not until he supported his body with his elbows that he saw Lin Qixu, who was holding the scroll behind the bookcase.

"Awake?" Lin Qixu said with a smile, and then raised his voice outside and ordered, "Go cook some porridge and serve it with a few side dishes." She took out an enamel carved box from the nanmu closet, lifted the lid, and picked out gauze, glass bottles, and cotton swabs in turn, and then brought a copper basin with warm water from the top of the shelf.

Lin Qixu gently led her to sit down at the table, and apologized: "My younger brother has frizzy hands and feet, and he doesn't do things seriously, I'm afraid it hurts your hand again." ”

How can you echo this kind of thing in front of your sister? Besides, at a cursory glance, I also know that the relationship between sisters and brothers is very good.

Lin Shuyao instinctively shook his head.

"Mo is too restrained about himself, there is no one else here. Although my methods are not as professional as the doctors in the medical hall, I can only be wronged at this moment. Lin Qixu has always acted neatly, does not drag mud and water, and will not let Lin Shu be shy, and consciously took other people's hands and began to take medicine.

Lin Shu was stunned, and the remaining hand didn't know where to put it, and when he changed the medicine on his hand, the one that had been treated already had some coolness, and aside from the slight pain, he was not so sad.

The slightly astringent and fresh smell of medicine spread in the small room, Lin Shuyao hurriedly looked around, and then did not look abruptly and wantonly, looking at its furnishings and quilts, it should be Miss Lin Qi's boudoir.

Just now, her messy and unclean dress slept directly on other people's clean bedding......

Lin Shuyao thought about it, and he was ashamed to not do it.

Lin Shuyao was embarrassed here, Lin Qixu in that room definitely didn't have so much messy thoughts.

She calmly applied the potion and exhaled softly, all with the precision and skill of a smooth stream. Lin Qixu was not a noisy person in the first place, and he did things quietly.

Perhaps worried about his younger brother who went to visit with his father, Lin Qixu helped Lin Shuyao with medicine without saying a word.

Until a loud "grunt" sound came out of someone's belly and it had a tendency to intensify. Lin Qixu glanced at Shu Yao, who was blushing into a big apple, and the smile on the corner of his mouth finally bloomed.

From this angle, it looks a little like a sister.

It is a loss to be born beautifully, otherwise Qichen may not be able to see this unlucky child.

Thinking of his younger brother's appearance of staring at other girls, Lin Qixu's heart burst into laughter.

"Miss, the porridge you asked for is here." Qinglan held the tray and stepped into the house. Seeing Lin Shuyao wake up, Tian Tian shouted: "I've seen Miss Fifteen." "Lin Shuyao has been in the clan for fifteen. She replied: "I heard from the porter that the old master and the young master have returned, but they went directly to the study and instructed the kitchen to make some snacks and said that they would take the school homework." Our master is really, how long has it been since the township test, and I can't wait to urge the young master to take the Xiucai exam, and I want the slave to say, maybe less than fifteen, our young man will be able to be named on the gold list, and the glory of the ancestors......"

Qinglan is a maid temporarily transferred from the ancestral house, she has never seen the world, and she has a broken mouth and loves flattery, Lin Qi is willing to use her, and it is for the sake of Qinglan's heart.

Bi Qichen thinks that this girl is good, not only can enliven the atmosphere in her sister's house, but also can sell it to please her sister.

"You've said this more than ten times." Lin Qixu lightly interrupted Qinglan's words.

Qinglan was not ashamed or annoyed, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "Miss Fifteen, you can use some porridge." When dinner comes up, the slave and maid will go to the kitchen to make a few of the young lady's favorite food. The sweet and sour chops made by Mrs. Jin are the most delicious, but if you don't like sweet and sour, then you can consider steaming sea bass, although it is not the season for sea bass, but our little master loves to eat, and the guys at the shopping office often buy and raise, jumping around, the most fresh but ......"

Lin Qixu stroked his forehead and smiled, listening to Qinglan's almost complete family. Looking at Lin Shuyao on the other side, the ten-year-old girl waved her hand again and again, wanting to interject and refuse but couldn't find the space for Qinglan to speak, so she could only smile reluctantly, cramped and uneasy.

"It's not early, so my cousin might as well stay for a meal. My younger brother probably won't be able to catch the dinner order, and he has to solve it with his father in the study, and I am bored to eat alone, so I should sell my face. Lin Qixu invited his cousin along the boat, and naturally lifted the lid of the purple sand cup.

said politely and kindly, Lin Shuyao didn't even have the courage to shake his head.

It's just that I'm afraid that it will be true that I won't be able to explain to the Lu family when I go back, but forget it, I've offended her to the end, and I still need this dinner.

Lin Qixu seemed to be able to understand her thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'll let Qinglan go and explain to Mrs. Lin, so that Lingtang won't worry about you plainly." ”

The war with the Lu clan finally began today.

Lin Shuyao looked at her cousin who was as indifferent as water in a daze, and firmly remembered today in her heart.

Afterwards, Lin Shuyao was curious, I heard that this cousin was also a concubine, and there was a more difficult and unreasonable mother-in-law in the family, and this time she met a fellow traveler by chance. At that time, she was immature and couldn't hide things, so she asked casually: "Cousin Nine, why are you willing to help me?" ”

Lin Qixu raised his eyes and looked at the girl with clear eyes and bright eyes, and somehow, the corner of his heart was stung by something, and it wrinkled densely, and he twitched in pain.

"It's not a help for you." But it's making up for what it used to be.

Lin Shuyao was stunned for a moment before shyly smiling: "Thank you Cousin Nine." After speaking, it was probably because he couldn't stand the hunger in his stomach that he devoured the porridge.

Compared with Lin Shuyao's cute appearance, her eating appearance fell in the eyes of the well-educated Lin Qixu, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

It's too bold.

How could such a straightforward and clear girl fight the Lu clan who had first-class kung fu on the surface?

Lin Qixu carefully recalled the Lu family's style and posture, and fell into deep worries about Lin Shuyao's future.

The room was quiet, only the sound of Lin Shuyao drinking porridge. When her stomach was a little full, she naturally used it more slowly, and tried her best to lighten her hands and feet to avoid the sound of porcelain colliding.

may feel that it is not good to be speechless, Lin Shuyao found a topic that will never be wrong.

"Seventh cousin, the ninth cousin didn't come to dine with you today, in the past, you sisters and brothers ate together?" Speaking of other people's younger brothers, Lin Shuyao naturally thought of his two younger brothers, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Lin Qixu has seven tricks, and he can see through her gloom at once.

"Qichen is more sticky to me, if he is free, he will come to accompany me." However, the younger brother is obsessed with the imperial examination, and he wants to make some fame, but he often doesn't see it.

Lin Shuyao was really envious: "It's good, my brother fights chickens and dogs all day long, and he even went to the clan elder a few days ago, if it weren't for the Lu family, she pretended to intercede, I'm afraid it would be ......."

"What's going on?" Lin Qixu has heard that Shu Yao also has a younger brother, who is still a twin. How can it be so unsuccessful? Or rather, someone tempted them to learn badly.

Lin Shuyao's face turned red, and he confessed the cause and effect frankly.

Lu Shi had already hugged her younger brothers to raise, and it was difficult for her to see each other. Later, the younger brothers grew up and knew things, but the grandmothers and girls around them were all from the Lu family, and they had long been instigated to be estranged from relatives, only when her sister didn't understand the rules and collided with her mother-in-law.

Now that her brother is older, she went to her father and easily moved her brothers to the outer courtyard. Unexpectedly, Lu's hands and eyes were all over the sky, and he directly asked the little girl to lead his younger brother to learn how to behave, and provoked his father to move the family law several times. The most disgusting thing is that every time the younger brothers make mistakes and are punished, Lu always stops in front of his father with a motherly heart, either crying in every possible way that the younger brothers have not won easily, and they have lost their biological mother, so they should not be too harsh, or they will put all the blame on themselves and beg their father to punish them together.

In the end, the mother and son made a scene and cried in front of their father. Lin Shuyao wished that his father would clean up the Lu family and lead his younger brother to the right path, but it turned into a farce of the Lu family's motherly feelings.

Things have developed to this point, Lin Shuyao is not stupid enough to shout for severe punishment, in case he falls into the trap of the Lu family, and makes his younger brothers believe that his sister is 'harsh' with them, and his mother is a 'good person'.

When Lin Shuyao said this, his eyes were red, and he poured three cups of tea in one go.

"Aren't you close to your brothers?"

A mother's compatriots, but they have a bad relationship?! Lin Qixu was incredulous and felt that he had to confirm it.

Lin Shuyao nodded in shame, recalling the maintenance of his sister by his younger brother when he met, a layer of white mist appeared in his eyes, and tears rolled aggrievedly.

"Was it your mother-in-law who instigated it?"

Undoubtedly.

Lin Shuyao swallowed back all the grievances and unwillingness, and said eloquently: "My mother has no parent-child, so it's easy for my father to have a bloodline, even if my mother doesn't want to raise her, my father also hopes that my younger brothers can have the identity of my sons, and he will inevitably send my younger brothers away." Besides, my aunt has already gone. ”

"It's also related to the Lu family?" Lin Qixu asked inexplicably.

Lin Shuyao didn't understand anything, and said with a cold expression: "How could it not be." But over the years, I have gradually understood some things, and I think back to what my biological mother did in the past, which is really... There's really nothing to say. ”

The implication is that the biological mother is indeed arrogant and does not put the main mother in her eyes? Lin Qixu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, seeing that she looked nostalgic and a little distressingly confused, obviously struggling with the death of her biological mother for a long, long time.

has no obsession with revenge on his biological mother, and has lost the respect and maintenance of his younger brothers.

Such a girl, how difficult it is to make a living under her mother-in-law.

"It's been hard all these years, right?" Lin Qixu smiled indifferently, pointed at himself again, and let out a long sigh, "I'm the same as you, or, there are some very essential differences, fortunately, so many difficult days have also come." ”

When Lin Shuyao saw the current Lin Qixu, he was very envious from the bottom of his eyes.

There is an obedient maid, a smart and considerate younger brother, and the name of the eldest lady of the Lin family in the future, who should marry a scholarly family with the right family, and the future is bright and open.

And she was so depressed that she couldn't speak. The clothes and hairpins all over her body were all Lu Shi to send her away with some third-class maids, and she moved her toes uneasily, just because the corners of the jujube-colored embroidered shoes were off, but anyone with sharp-eyed eyes could see it.

Friendship, no, should be an alliance.

first formed an alliance, and then developed some feelings of sympathy.

Lin Shuyao learned to turn around in his heart before speaking, learned the entanglement and consideration of nine turns and eighteen turns, and learned to play sloppy with the Lu family in front of others, but did not leave behind the handle and evidence. According to Lin Qixu's suggestion, she must slowly repair her image in front of her father and younger brother, she can't be too reckless, she can't be too straightforward, and she must be the same yin when dealing with people like Lu, there is no absolute identity and means, Wan Wanyi wants to come clearly. (To be continued.) )
