Song Qiao'er thought for a while: "It doesn't matter if you want to or not, if my father and mother want us to enter the palace, we will enter the palace." My mother said that women grow up to get married, just like my mother marrying my father, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that my husband can treat me like my father and mother! ”

Seeing Song Qiao'er's yearning look, Linglong's words were stuck in her throat and couldn't be spoken.

"Cousin, it's rare for you to come back, you must stay longer this time, come, I'll take you to see the room."

"There's Cousin Lao!"

Linglong was arranged in the wing room on the right side of the second entrance of the house, next door is the mother's room, this house is not big, a few maids can only squeeze in the house and make a bunk.

It wasn't until late afternoon that her mother woke up, and Linglong sat on the edge of the bed and slowly told her mother the news she had heard from her second aunt.

This time, her mother's reaction was not too strong, and the saddest thing for her was to hear the news of her grandfather's death. Other than this, everything else is relatively nothing.

The mother was silent for a long time after hearing this: "Linglong, where is your aunt and their family now?" ”

"The second aunt said that they were arranged on the Zhuangzi dozens of miles away from Beijing, and the Zhuangzi happened to be your mother's dowry, mother, you should know where it is, right?"

Mother shook her head: "Before I got married, my father and brother were in charge of everything, and I only heard them mention the things to dowry, but I don't know where they are." ”

"It's okay, if my mother wants to see them, why don't you ask my second aunt to send a letter and ask my aunt's family to come over?"

The mother was silent for a moment and sighed: "It's time to meet, no matter how wrong your uncle is, no matter how many people are gone, don't care." Besides, he is my half-brother and half-brother, and I can't ignore his children's family. ”

Linglong had no objection to this, "Then mother, you rest first, and I'll go to the second aunt to talk about this!" ”

"Wait, Linglong!"

"What else is the matter with Mother?"

"Just now I saw that my mother, that is, your grandmother, is very bad, I want to take her to our small courtyard in a few days to live, your second aunt is good. After all, it wasn't born to your maternal grandparents. I still want to ......"

"Mother doesn't have to explain, you think it's good to do it, I have no objection."

Linglong immediately went to find his second aunt. The second aunt heard that her mother wanted to see the eldest aunt's face was a little strange, and she didn't answer for a while.

"What's wrong? Second aunt, is there anything wrong? ”

"Oh, not really. This one...... Otherwise, I'll send a letter to them. Sue them that you are back, and as for the meeting......"

The second aunt's hesitant appearance made Linglong suspicious: "What's wrong?" ”

"Third sister! Third sister! Madame, where is Madame? Suddenly there was a mature man's voice outside the house.

The second aunt was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately got up to welcome her out. Linglong also went out, walked to the door of the living room, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in an official mansion just striding through the hall and walking in.

Song Mei'er rushed out of nowhere and cheered: "Daddy! Then he ran over happily.

The middle-aged man touched her head with a smile: "Mei'er is weird." I heard that your aunt is back? But really? ”

"Really, really, there's a second cousin!"

The second aunt stood at the door with the door frame and said with a smile: "Xianggong." Look at you're in a hurry, start shouting before you enter the door, don't scare our mother and sister to wake up! ”

"Huh? Mother slept again? ”

"yes, I'm getting more and more asleep these days! Oh, by the way, Xianggong, you see, this is Linglong, the second daughter of the third sister. ”

The middle-aged man stared at Linglong and looked at it carefully, and nodded again and again: "Like!" It's like that! ”

Linglong hurriedly saluted: "Linglong has seen the second uncle!" ”

"All right, good boy, get up quickly! ? Your dad? I heard you have a younger brother, right? By the way, I remember that the third sister gave birth to a pair of twin sisters before she left Beijing, are you the second sister? And your sister? ”

The second aunt smiled and said, "Xianggong, look at you!" Just ask yourself, and don't give others a gap to answer, Linglong, is your mother awake? Why don't you come out and see us? ”

"Okay, second uncle and second aunt wait a minute! I went and asked my mother to come out. ”

"No need to reads;! Second brother! The mother was helped out by Qing'er and stood at the door, looking at the second uncle with tears in her eyes.

The second uncle was quite excited, and took a few steps up to hold his mother's arm: "Third sister, it's really you, it's been more than ten years!" Why are you coming back now? ”

As soon as this was mentioned, the mother began to cry, and the second aunt walked over to support her mother and said, "Xianggong, look at you, as soon as you come back, you will make the third sister cry!" Don't hurry up and apologize! ”

The second uncle really apologized again and again: "Third sister, I was wrong, it's all the second brother's, don't you, you punish the second brother!" Second brother help you...... What can I do for you? ”

Seeing his silly appearance, exactly the same as the second brother who doted on him when he was a child, Song broke into tears and laughed: "Second brother, you can help your sister dig out the bird's nest for a while!" ”

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay! Good! For the sake of the third sister, it doesn't hurt to do it again, hahaha! ”

The second aunt patted him: "Look at you, you are old, and you are still a fourth-grade official, spread it out to see how people laugh at you!" ”

"It's okay, I haven't seen my sister for more than ten years, I'm happy, hahaha!"

"Okay, okay, don't stand at the door, let's go, let's go to the living room and talk slowly."

When the group came to the living room, the second uncle inevitably asked the mother again, and the mother answered them one by one.

Linglong was surprised and a little envious, it seems that what her mother said about being very favored when she was a child is really true! Even the second uncle, who is not his own brother, is so good, let alone others.

Thinking of my previous worries and calculations, it is purely groundless!

During their conversation, they accidentally mentioned the matter of the eldest uncle, and although the mother was a little sad, she was barely able to accept it, and the mother said:

"Second brother, thanks to you, the eldest brother's affairs are thanks to you, he lost all his family property, you must have lived a hard life, right? Why don't you write a letter to me, no matter how bad I am, I can make up for it at home! ”

"Hey! Why are you mentioning these things after so long, not to mention that you have already helped me, don't blame yourself! ”

"Oh? How have I ever helped my family? ”

"Aren't the shops you marrying in the hands of your mother? During that time, we all relied on the shop Zhuangzi to survive, and we didn't get your consent first about this, third sister, don't you blame us? ”

"How so? That's my mother's thing, I should use it no matter how I use it, alas, it's a pity that I'm far away in Jiangzhou, so I can't help at all! ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, by the way, third sister, doesn't this Linglong girl still have a twin sister? Seems to be called dexterity, right? She's gone? Didn't come back with you? ”

"Dexterity is married."

"Oh? Married at a young age! ”

The second aunt said: "Master, Linglong and Lingdex are both seventeen, it's time to get married!" ”

"Seventeen! So fast, alas, it's really unconscious, so this Linglong girl, can you deny a good person? ”

At the mention of this, my mother was happy: "It's set, it's set, it's just a few days ago." ”

"Really? Such a good girl, the son of the average family can't do it, the third sister, let's listen to it, the second brother helps the girl to read the checks;. ”

The second aunt secretly gave him a look, but the second uncle didn't see it, and asked again and again.

The mother smiled and said: "This child is a blessed person, he has not been smooth in Jiangzhou, and he met a good family quietly, and Linglong is the second son of the Liang State Mansion." ”

"What? Liang Guogong Mansion! The second uncle and the second aunt were both surprised, and then the second aunt clapped her hands again and again:

"What a man! The Duke of Liang's mansion is high and powerful, and the wealth is rivaling the country, I heard that the sons in the mansion are also better than the other, oops, third sister, congratulations! Linglong, too, asked her just now, she was embarrassed to say! ”

The second uncle also praised him greatly: "Liang Guogong is an upright person, and the emperor relies on him a lot, and he is indeed an excellent family." By the way, madam, didn't you say a few days ago that you would also send our Qiao'er's portrait to the Guogong Mansion? But the second son? ”

The smile on the second aunt's face froze, and then she was embarrassed:

"Where...... What's the matter? Xianggong, didn't you say that Qiao'er should be selected in the palace? I didn't send it over there as soon as you said that. But I didn't expect that the final winner was Linglong girl, third sister, congratulations! ”

Mother nodded: "Yes, I am also very satisfied with this family business, it is all Linglong's own creation." ”

Listening to everyone's praise of the Liang Guogong Mansion, Linglong disagreed, no matter how good the Liang Guogong Mansion is, it is also people's own, and I can't share half of it, how can I make my own money?

By the way, if my mother has a shop, I don't want to ask for one to come back and try to do business and open a gallery or something.

Linglong didn't think much about it, and asked casually: "Second aunt, how many shops are left in my mother's marriage?" Where are they located? Can you spare one for me? ”

The living room suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and the mother said angrily: "You girl, what do you suddenly want to do in the shop?" ”

"Mother, I want to open a gallery and help people paint to earn money."

"Drawing? You're a young lady who is about to leave the cabinet, what kind of painting do you paint? If you want to draw, you can draw it yourself at home! ”

"You can't make money painting at home."

"Our family is not short of that little money."

"You don't lack me, mother, give me one!"

Linglong insisted, but her mother didn't let go, and the second uncle said: "That shop is yours, and it doesn't hurt if you take it all back." Madam, go and get the deed of the third sister's shop! ”

"Huh? This ......" The second aunt's face was different, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, Xianggong, I helped her rent out the third sister's shop, and the lease was signed for three or five years, and the lease was renewed not long ago, and the business is doing well, I'm afraid it's not easy to take it back! ”

Mother said: "Forget it, it's useless for me to take it, just rent it out!" ”

"Hey, you, even if you rent it out, you have to give the deed to the third sister!"

The second aunt's face was a little ugly, and she winked at the second uncle: "Xianggong~~!" (To be continued)
