The world has changed, and she Lin Shuyao has now become an unreachable daughter of others. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yesterday's Lantern Festival night, the younger brothers were in high spirits, so they had to take her out to see the lanterns, she had never been able to resist the two wayward brothers, and she also knew that they wanted to make themselves happy and forget the disgusting shit.

Although the two younger brothers are twins, their faces are very different.

The one who was born earlier is called Mingzhi, and the other is called Zhiyuan.

Intended to be 'quiet to Zhiyuan, indifferent to Mingzhi', Mingzhi was admitted to the examination last year, and Zhiyuan finally became a talent. The father was so happy that he danced, and sighed again and again that the ancestor burned high incense, and he didn't see the face of the grandmother on the side, Lin Shuyao never ignored the grandmother, stood on the side and smiled slightly, sometimes thinking of the biological mother, how good it would be if she was alive now.

However, if the aunt is still there, she will only instigate her younger brother to speak ill of her mother in front of her father, and then do everything possible to coax herself to fight with her mother-in-law, and by the way, seek some benefits for her unsuccessful mother-in-law, and talk about family affairs to the group of uncles who have achieved nothing and are idle, and be an errand in the yamen......

Thinking of this, a heart with a little regret sank.

Lin Shuyao looked at the high-spirited faces of the two younger brothers, and somehow, he remembered Lin Qichen, who was also young and ambitious, to be precise, the ninth cousin was far better than the younger brothers, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word dragon and phoenix among people.

However, the creation made people, and the cousin was once a concubine, married far away from the capital, and then even the cousin gave up literature and martial arts, and completely gave up the imperial examination.

"Sister-" The third brother carefully called for his sister who had lost her soul.

Lin Shuyao came back to his senses and asked his brother what was going on with his eyes.

The third brother said: "Why don't you open the letter?" ”

Lin Shuyao had a letter in his hand that had just been handed in from the porter, which was sent by his father who was out of office. Although his father connived at his mother-in-law, he protected his younger brother and himself in the end, and he was always grateful to his father compared to what happened to his cousin.

It stands to reason that the letter is nothing more than old sayings telling them to take care of themselves and not to cause trouble.

I didn't think that Lin Shuyao looked at it at a glance, and the corners of his smiling mouth suddenly paused.

It was probably because the letter was too terrifying, and she read it again and again.

Seeing that the younger brothers were curious, Lin Shuyao said lightly: "My mother is pregnant, and my father is very happy. "Overall, this is probably the most exciting news for my father since the beginning of the year.

My father invited the most dedicated gentleman for his younger brothers, and he worked hard to drag the relationship. The younger brother walks outside, chatting with others, and others treat them as sisters-in-law, and they can't help but be polite and kind, even if they are not long-sighted, they will not be too embarrassed on the surface.

All this is because the Lu family has no children.

In order not to be too sad in the future, she had to have some scruples when she grew up with her younger brother and gained fame, and even to Lin Shuyao was not as mean as she used to be.

When Lin Shuyao grew up and learned to manage the house, the grandmother who had always looked at the Lu family was not pleasing to the eye also went, and the Lu family, who was bent on seeking a child, simply threw away a group of children from the concubine, and diligently went over to take care of his father, take care of his father's affairs, and the most important thing is to strive to give birth to a son-in-law.

It's about a pity that the Lu family is pregnant.

Lin Shuyao didn't know what kind of expression was appropriate.

But the two younger brothers frowned in unison, and their faces became ugly.

The third brother was shallow-minded, and hurriedly said: "How is this good, mother, she doesn't like us in the first place, if it weren't for my father to protect us, where would we be today." ”

Lin Shuyao saw that the second brother was also distressed, but there were fewer thoughts on his face, and he deliberately comforted them, and quipped: "Who swore to me at the beginning that my mother loves you the most and is dedicated to your good?" ”

The Lu family raised them when they were young, and they were used to doing superficial work, and the subordinates around the younger brother blindly said that the Lu family was good, if it weren't for Lin Shuyao's later use of some means to let the younger brother see the true face of the Lu family, I was afraid that the love between sister and brother would have been exhausted.

The third brother stomped his feet in shame and said, "Sister! ”

The second brother apologized ashamedly: "Anyway, it's thanks to my sister, otherwise I'm afraid I'm still messing around with people outside, how can I talk about fame and future?" ”

The Lu family deliberately led the two of them to the wrong way, intending to train the concubines into prodigals with all five poisons.

"It's you who are fighting now, and you know right from wrong." Lin Shuyao smiled indifferently.

The second brother was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Actually, it's not easy for mother. It took nearly forty to have the first child, and both men and women are always comforted, and they want to be much more peaceful after coming to the house. ”

"Taiping what? At the beginning, there was no sister-in-law who made such a fuss, and he tried his best to do it. When the mother has a son, the father will definitely not blindly love us, in the end, how can our foreign family be compared with the Lu family? The third brother argued angrily, looked at his quiet sister again, and couldn't help but say, "The second brother asked me to hide it from my sister and said that you are not allowed to worry about it anymore." But I can't hide my words, at the beginning of December, the second brother withdrew the money from you, but it was not the credit that the two of us spent all day drinking outside, it was my cousin who played cockfighting, and accidentally kicked to death a 'Black Hades', and the store asked them to pay compensation, saying that if they didn't lose money, they would sue the official......"

"Lin Zhiyuan!" The third brother listened to his brother reprimanding him, and immediately shut up obediently.

Lin Shuyao smiled and didn't speak, eighteen taels of silver were counted wherever they were placed. The younger brothers asked for such a sum of silver for no reason, and she would naturally figure it out.

When she learned that it was her uncle's son who caused the trouble, she was relieved.

Fortunately, it was not the two younger brothers who embarked on the road of gentleness again.

"My sister knows, it's not you two anyway, my sister isn't very sad in her heart." The son of the uncle's family couldn't help them, so at most they would help them to prevent them from starving and cold. No more, there is none.

Seeing that his younger brother has a bright future in his career, how can Lin Shuyao be willing to let his younger brother be dragged down by them.

After listening to his sister's words, the third brother looked at his brother proudly, and his eyes expressed, "Look, I said that my sister already knew." ’

"Don't look at your brother, my sister didn't pierce this layer. It's because your brother is not doing anything wrong, and now that you two are growing up, your sister will marry sooner or later, you have to learn to make your own ideas, support the door, and don't let people underestimate our family. Lin Shuyao began to cook chicken soup for the soul, earnestly teaching the younger brothers who were still immature, and then changed the conversation, "Even if the Lu family gives birth to a son, it will be your own brother, and it will take a long time for him to grow up and study." Don't exhaust the vitality of the family due to infighting, you all want me to marry well, then you have to be motivated, and the Lin family can't have an accident. ”

The two younger brothers listened attentively and earnestly, and their eyes were as firm as a rock.

As my cousin said, it really works to motivate my younger brother with my future and happiness.

After the three of them finished lunch, it was cold and frozen, Lin Shuyao's original intention was to drive his younger brother away, and then nest on the warm kang to live one of the few leisurely days. I didn't expect my brother to be so... Filial piety? No, no, filial piety refers to love for elders. She's just an older sister, but she's a peer.

That is, my younger brother loves her, and she actually wrote and directed herself, set up a small curtain, set up a shelf, and got a few common small noodles on the stalls, kneaded them with mud, and glued a few pieces of colored cloth, it can be seen that the craftsman's craftsmanship is rough, obviously the weather is cold, and everyone's hands and feet are a little shrunk, which is very understandable.

The chirping and noisy clay figurine show began to sing.

Even a few maids who had taken a lunch break came over to take a look, and the little girl who was sweeping the snow under the porch came over with a broom. The younger brothers were thin-skinned, they were originally entertaining relatives in colorful clothes, and they smiled at their sisters, but they didn't expect to attract so many onlookers. Fortunately, I hid behind the curtain and had the courage to continue acting.

"Yo! Eat me, goblin! ”

"The fool just stood up and beat you, watch me fly~"

With the goblins who fled nimbly on the curtain and the angry monkeys, it was obvious that the younger brothers had played away, and they simply started to fight behind them.

Lin Shuyao, who was leaning on the rosin soft pillow, looked at his cheeks with his eyes misty. In such a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, tears slowly condensed and finally fell uncontrollably.

If it weren't for my cousin's kind help and careful teaching, how could the three of them be now?

She was already married by the Lu family to the only son of Sun Xiucai, who had a bad character and a short temper.

Is my cousin doing well in the Regent's Mansion?

The people at the bottom have always been the best at looking at the eyes, and the little maid who was closest to him saw that the eldest lady's expression was wrong, so she pinched the embroidery needle and walked lightly, for fear of hindering the eyes of the little master. After the people dispersed one after another, the room returned to its initial silence, and the younger brothers also recovered from the laughter and play, only to see the elder sister wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

Lin Shuyao was afraid that his brother would misunderstand something, so he quickly explained: "It's nothing, I just remembered my cousin." ”

They are in the side branch of the Lin family, and they have always respected and admired their cousins and cousins, not to mention that they are still benefactors.

Although the three sisters and brothers did not understand why their cousin was a concubine, they would never forget the grace of their help and support back then, and the two younger brothers looked at each other for a moment and pondered: "My cousin has entered the palace, and it is thousands of miles away in the capital, we are backward in news, and it is difficult to inquire about anything." You might as well write a letter, sister, it just so happens that Governor Hu is going back to Beijing to visit relatives, and we have a good relationship with the young master of his family, so we can ask others to help. ”

Lin Shuyao gritted his teeth lightly and hesitated: "It's been more than a year since the incident, but there was a lot of uproar at that time, and the Hu Governor's family must know that they are not willing to shed this troubled water." ”

Seeing that his sister was depressed, the third brother stabbed the second brother with his elbow, and said with a hippie smile: "It would be good if my brother went to Beijing to take the exam, no matter how many letters he delivered, maybe he could take his sister to the capital together." ”

Lin Mingzhi is fifteen years old, and he is already fortunate to be in the middle of the move, so he naturally does not want to take risks easily. I plan to prepare for the exam in Beijing in a few years, and when my foundation is solid.

"By the way, didn't the wife and young master of the Zhao family return from the capital? You should be able to find out something. Lin Mingzhi rolled his eyes and said that his younger brother who was dreaming for a long time.

"Yes, yes!"

Lin Shuyao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled: "Why did you forget this." "Especially this lady of the Zhao family has a superior family background, she is the daughter of a certain earl's court, and there are a lot of things that I can ask about. And my cousin has a lot to do with the Zhao family, so I should know more or less the inside story.

The third brother, inspired by his elder brother, immediately thought of another key person.

"I said, why is it so lonely this year? It turned out that everyone who was good with her sister was married, not only did her cousin leave Suzhou, but even Miss Chu entered the palace. ”

Lin Shuyao was slightly stunned for a long time, and there was no time to have a trace of joy on his face, and he fell silent again. And the second brother didn't know what he thought, so he was equally silent, which made Lin Zhiyuan, who looked ignorant, extremely uneasy.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Why did his two brothers and sisters remain silent?

Without waiting for Lin Zhiyuan's young master's temper to attack, Lin Shuyao said quietly: "The Lu family can be so arrogant, and he can still fight with his mother-in-law in the palm of his hand, and he is domineering, what is the fundamental reason, you both know it." ”

"Clearly, the Lu family is the cousin and niece of the Mrs. Chu family, and she often walks around." The third brother is straightforward and naïve.

Lin Mingzhi sighed again when he heard it.

Lin Shuyao's eyes dimmed.

This made Lin Zhiyuan more and more confused, and simply said loudly: "What is this!" Sister Chu and the ghost-like Mrs. Chu are not mothers and daughters, and they didn't listen to my sister in the past, and Sister Chu didn't like the Wang family very much. ”

Lin Zhiyuan's pair of smart brothers and sisters were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Lin Shu said: "The reason why Sister Chu entered the palace is because the Wang family wants to give her to the eldest son of a side branch, and the housemother of that family obeys the Wang family's words, and the Wang family uses this to take care of the eldest daughter, understand?" ”

Sure enough, the second brother's face became more and more embarrassed and gloomy.

If this family affair is really done, the benefits to Lin Mingzhi are self-evident. What is Chu Qinling's character, outsiders don't know, Lin Shu is clear, and Chu Qinling is the most noble of the three of them, and she was originally the eldest daughter.

From Chu Qinling's point of view, maybe she doesn't dislike her younger brother as the eldest son of the Lin family's side branch. can let her marry her mother's cousin and niece as a daughter-in-law, and without the help of her mother's family, how can she be willing?

At this point, Lin Zhiyuan opened his mouth wide, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.

He turned to the second brother with a stupid look and said, "It turns out that Sister Chu almost became my sister-in-law!" ”

"What nonsense!" Lin Mingzhi almost roared.

The third brother pitifully went to look at Lin Shuyao, intending to escape from his brother's clutches.

I never thought that Lin Shujiao also agreed: "You have to change your temperament, use your brain to think and think before you speak, Sister Chu is now a concubine of the Son of Heaven, and she is pregnant with Liujia." This kind of words are listened to by people with hearts, not to mention what will happen to you, just Sister Chu, you will kill people. ”

In the end, I have seen a lot of the world, and the book has been read into my mind again, and Lin Mingzhi's embarrassment only lasted for a short while. Immediately, he said: "During the New Year's holidays, I just went to Zhao Mansion to walk around, and by the way, I also inquired about the recent situation in the capital." ”

Lin Zhiyuan was secretly looking at the second brother's expression, nodded uncontrollably, and said, "Sister, you have a good relationship with Sister Chu, you can also write a letter to her." After all, my cousin became the regent's concubine, and she could also enter the palace to see Sister Chu. ”

This is true, maybe the two of them have already met in the palace, and they have helped each other.

Lin Shuyao's guess was correct, and the two were talking in the palace at the moment.

Chengguang Palace, located in the southwest corner of the palace, usually comes and goes to the palace concubines less, so the scenery is beautiful, but in the end there is a lack of some people. Since Chu Xiaoyuan became pregnant with a dragon fetus, this seclusion has become a rare place, and the queen and the concubine are pregnant in the palace, both of which are more valuable than her, and the background is tough.

And Chu Qinling, in order to live a comfortable life, whenever the emperor comes to her, he will always attract him to Qian Jieyu's place to sit down, and if he is in a good mood, he may stay overnight. After such a period of time, although she is still competing with Zheng Guiren, Qian Jieyu has already changed her original appearance of ignoring her, and she will pay more attention to her.

On this day, Lin Qixu said a few words with Qian Jieyu in the main hall, and left a few good cloud brocades given to her by the concubine, and went to the west hall to see Qinling with a smile.

Chu Qinling's belly was extremely high, and it seemed difficult to walk.

Lin Qixu looked at her for a long time before he said, "Is the fetus too big?" Didn't the Imperial Doctor say anything to you? ”

Qinling has a good pregnancy, but there is not much time for morning sickness, unlike Concubine Xian, who vomits all day and night, and can't eat anything.

"Yes, the Imperial Doctor is no different from what you say." Chu Xiaoyuan didn't think it was a pestle, and laughed indifferently.

Lin Qixu continued to ask: "Can you be asked to walk around the ground more, I think it's good to walk around the imperial garden after dinner." ”

"Phew, it's hard to walk around the small garden of Chengguang Palace twice, and return the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Garden!" Chu Xiaoyuan rolled her huge eyes, picked up a few melon seeds with her fingers by the way, and threw them over.

Lin Qixu took it lightly and said, "Don't take it seriously, the child is too big, and those who are careful will suffer hardship." ”

"Here we go again."

Chu Xiaoyuan's spring shirt is light, the hairpin ring is simple, and her posture is no longer as light as it used to be.

"I used to see that you were dressed more simply than anyone else, and I told you that you were strange. Now I dress up freshly, but I like this kind of day when I don't have to wear heavy makeup and wear red and green. ”

Chu Xiaoyuan sneered lightly, and then said: "My mind is far inferior to the Sun family, she is elegant and noble all day long, and she doesn't know how much to restrain when she vomits to death." And counting the favor, the emperor went the least to the queen. ”

"As a relative, the emperor will never reuse the queen's mother's family. And behind Concubine Xian is Scholar Sun, who happens to be a side branch, and the emperor is at ease and has no worries. Lin Qixu said.

Chu Xiaoyuan asked rhetorically, "What about me?" ”

Lin Qixu glanced at her silently for a few moments, and said slowly: "You are just an ordinary concubine." ”

"Well, okay. Who told me that the backstage is not hard, recently Concubine Xian has been squeezing me in front of the queen, and it has become more and more blatant, and I don't know how long I can endure it. Especially the gossip between me and your brother, I really doubt what Concubine Xian has in her head..."

Lin Qixu stared at the clear tea surface for a moment before revealing an indifferent smile.

"Who knows who she's targeting."

Could it be that Concubine Xian is also a hidden line of the Queen Mother?

In this way, it was the Queen Mother's instructions to do everything possible to embarrass Qinling. And to involve Qin Ling and Chen in order to balance her and her younger brother?

Chu Qinling smiled: "After all, when the time comes, you can see their exposed feet." (To be continued.) )
