Chapter 12 Relatives are distant and close
In the three-room courtyard, Lin Yan was sitting in the flower hall with her pair of brothers and sisters at this time. Lin Wan was beside Lin Yan, sitting from the left to the right for a while, sitting from the right to the left for a while, pulling Lin Yan's sleeve for a while, and kicking Lin Yan's stool for a while, and wanted to talk to Lin Yan several times, but was stopped by Lin Yan.
Lin Yan looked at his brother and sister, Lin Chenggang was looking down at his toes, Lin Yan roughly estimated that he had maintained this posture for at least a quarter of an hour, it was rare for him to have such a good characterization. As for Lin Wan, she rubbed the handkerchief on her hand for half a while, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and so on. Neither of them spoke.
Compared with other brothers and sisters, Lin Yan's relationship with her brother and sister since she was a child is really too cold. It's not that because they are half-brothers and sisters, so Lin Yan has a dislike or estrangement with them, but because of their general personality, Lin Yan really can't get along with them.
As for Lin Wan, she has preferred to play with Lin Li since she was a child, while Lin Chenggang has a stuffy temperament, and she can't make a sound when she goes down with three sticks. Lin Yan could also feel that they were also wary and repulsive of their brothers and sisters. In this world, no one likes to stick their hot face to other people's cold butts, and over time, Lin Yan is also happy to maintain a "respectful" relationship with them.
In fact, Lin Yan doesn't feel that there is a natural hostile relationship between the concubine and the concubine, such as the lobby sister Lin Yan in the second room, who is the concubine of Lin Yong's second uncle, but Lin Yan has had a harmonious relationship with the second aunt Qi since she was a child, and she also has a deep relationship with Cheng Sheng, Cheng Zhi and others born in the Qi family, that is, Lin Yan herself, who has a gentle personality and will take care of the young lobby sister since she was a child.
And she and Lin Chenggang Lin Wan can't be as close as the brothers and sisters in the second room, probably because the biological mother of the lobby sister Lin Yan is Qi's dowry maid, and she also nodded and agreed to be an aunt by Qi's nod, and Lin Chenggang Lin Wan's biological mother is her father's outer room. She didn't know what happened before she was born, and her father and mother had been a pair of Jinse and Ming's love for as long as she could remember. But from the news heard from her grandmother and two aunts, their biological mother did not sw discord between her parents back then. Her father, the prodigal son, returned to his wife in time, and their biological mother was sent far away to Zhuangzi.
Out of favoritism for the Zhuang family, Lin Yan naturally has no good impression of Lin Chenggang and Lin Wan's biological mother, even if she has never seen her. And people are close to each other, since she favors the Zhuang family, will Lin Chenggang and Lin Wan also complain to them about the Zhuang family because of their favoritism.
Lin Yan sighed, the relationship between people is a complex problem.
Lin Chenggang couldn't understand what Lin Yan was looking at him for a quarter of an hour, he didn't know his half-sister, and he didn't plan to understand, so now he didn't want to know what she wanted to find out from him by staring at him like this, he originally wanted to pretend to be invisible, and he did so, but now he was really numb from her scalp, and finally he couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to raise his head, pretend to look outside the door, and then said to Lin Yan: "Mother hasn't come back yet?" I think we'd better go back first, and come back tomorrow morning to say hello to my mother. ”
Lin Yan finally took her eyes back from him, and was not embarrassed by her abruptness just now, and smiled: "I think it's soon, grandmother won't keep my mother for a long time." ”
Lin Chenggang didn't say anything anymore, and continued to look down at his toes.
Lin Yan opened the conversation and asked him: "I have been sick since I came back, and I don't see the fourth brother much on weekdays, but I forgot to care about how the fourth brother has been doing in the house in the past few years?" ”
Lin Chenggang said in a faint voice: "It's good." After a pause, he probably felt that his words were a little too perfunctory, and added: "My grandmother is very good to me, and the eldest aunt and second aunt are also very good to me." ”
Lin Yan nodded with a smile, and asked again: "I heard that my brother is now helping my second brother prepare for next year's martial arts, and he is doing it very well." My sister congratulated the fourth brother, and if my father knew that the fourth brother was so successful now, he would be very pleased. "Lin Chengsheng, the second brother of the Lin family, is currently the eldest in the third generation of the Lin family, and he is also the eldest son of the Qi family and the son of the Duke of Wuguo. At present, he is in the military department of the military department, and he is the official position of the fifth grade.
The corners of Lin Chenggang's mouth curved sarcastically, did he really care about him in his eyes? I'm afraid that he doesn't have this son in his heart for a long time.
Lin Wan, who had been sitting restlessly, finally found a chance to speak, pulled Lin Yan's sleeve, and whispered to her while pushing her: "Sister, let's go out, let's go quickly, let's not talk to them." ”
No matter how young Lin Wan is, she already has her own relatives and distances, perhaps because of the atmosphere at home, although she doesn't fully understand the relationship, she also vaguely understands that this pair of brothers and sisters is not close to her, and it makes her a little annoying.
Lin Wan raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Wan, then quietly lowered her head, clenched her left hand on her knee into a fist, and then bit her lip hard.
But Lin Yan felt that Lin Wan had to hate her if she didn't like it like this, so she reprimanded her in a low voice: "Youyu, don't do this without rules, if you do this again, I'll tell my grandmother to go." ”
The Li family favors Lin Wan, but when she is strict, she is also strict, and Lin Wan is still a little afraid of her.
Lin Wan pouted, glared at Lin Yan, sat back on the chair angrily, turned her back to her and didn't speak.
Lin Yan said to Lin Chenggang and Lin Wan a little apologetically: "Fourth brother, second sister, Youyu is young and ignorant, I hope you don't take what she said to heart." ”
Lin Chenggang moved the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, while Lin Wan was expressionless the whole time, as if she was talking about something unrelated to her.
Lin Yan sighed, and was about to pull Youyu over to coax her to apologize, but at this time, there was the familiar footsteps of the Zhuang family outside.
The maid opened the curtain at the door, and Zhuang walked in from the outside, first seeing the two daughters sitting on the left, their faces slightly soft, and then seeing Lin Chenggang and Lin Wan sitting on the right, their brows quietly frowned again.
Zhuang's voice said lightly: "It's here." ”
Lin Chenggang and Lin Wan both stood up, saluted Zhuang's family, and said "yes".
Zhuang walked to the main seat and sat down, frowning and not lowering, looking at them, wanting to speak, but she didn't know where to start, and finally she could only sigh deeply.
For this pair of concubines, Zhuang has never known what kind of attitude to use, gentle and considerate, she is unwilling, cold-eyed, and feels that she should not transfer her resentment towards their biological mother to the two innocent children......
