The shameful and painful past came one after another, and huge waves surged in my heart.

Ling Jingshu glanced at Lu An from a distance, clenched her fists hard, and then lowered her eyelids. Trying to calm the disordered mind.

The enemy was near, but she couldn't move. It's a really uncomfortable taste.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it.

To deal with Lu An and the Ling family means to bring down the entire Lu family. This is obviously just a luxury for her, who is just a boudoir girl. Before she has the power to take revenge, she must first learn to endure

After Lu An spoke up, Old Lady Ling and Uncle Ling, who had been crying a lot, finally calmed down a lot.

Old Lady Ling wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, squeezed out a smile and said, "Look at me, at this age, I don't have any self-control. Crying at this gate and wiping his tears, let my uncle smile. ”

Lu An smiled slowly, with an excellent demeanor and impeccable: "My mother-in-law and my uncle are separated, and I am excited and tearful when I meet at this time, and I can't help it." The son-in-law looked at it and was moved in his heart, how could he see and laugh. ”

Old Lady Ling was full of complaints about this son-in-law because of what Ling said before, but when she really met at this time, the evil feeling in her heart went a little more.

Such a handsome and dignified man is the head of the Lu family, and he is a parent official. On the ground in Jizhou, it is not much different from the Earth Emperor. With such a lofty scenery, it is inevitable to indulge in women.

Everyone gathered around Mrs. Ling, and returned to Yonghetang in a majestic manner, and each sat down to talk.

The younger generations stand beside or behind their parents. Old Lady Ling sat on the top, and on her right was Uncle Ling, and on her left was Lu An.

Old Lady Ling first asked Lu An with concern whether Lu An's trip was hard, and then it was Uncle Ling's turn.

On such an occasion, the daughters-in-law of the Yue family and the Li family are not qualified to intervene, let alone the juniors.

After greeting each other for half an hour, Mrs. Ling's excited feelings really calmed down. smiled and said to Lu An: "Uncle has not been to the door for so many years, only letters. You don't know the children and grandchildren of our Ling family yet. I'll let them come to you one by one. ”

My uncle came to the door and was a first-class distinguished guest. What's more, this uncle is from the Great Zhou Wang clan. There are at least a dozen people in the Lu clan who are officials in various parts of the Great Zhou, and Lu Ping, the second brother of Lu An's relatives, is the head of the military department in the capital, although the official position is not high, but he is good at drilling camps, and he somehow climbed the door of King Yan. Now it is quite beautiful in the capital.

Because of these factors, Old Lady Ling was more warm and polite to Lu An.

First the juniors of the Ling family's room, then the second room and the fourth room, and finally the four brothers and sisters in the fifth room.

"My nephew, Ling Ting (Ling Xiao) (Ling Xiao), has seen my uncle."

"Niece Ling Jingshu, I've seen my uncle."

Among the three young boys of varying heights, Ling Jingshu, who was dressed in a light green dress, stood with picturesque eyebrows and a smile. lowered his eyebrows, but he couldn't hide his stunning appearance.

Lu An's gaze paused slightly on Ling Jingshu's body, and a trace of surprise and burning flashed quickly in his eyes.

He concealed this affection very well, and instantly returned to normal, and smiled gently and kindly: "It's all my own family, so I don't need to be polite." ”

Lu Qian had been standing by Lu An's side, paying close attention to Lu An's every move and change in expression. When he saw the strange thing that flashed in Lu An's eyes, his whole body froze. His hands trembled uncontrollably.

It wasn't until Ling Jingshu retreated after saluting and Lu An's eyes stopped looking at Ling Jingshu that Lu Qian slowly exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest

It soon became dark.

There were four seats in the dining room of Yonghetang. There were two seats for men and women, and the elders and juniors were divided. It's all a family, and they don't have to worry about the difference between men and women, so they simply abandon the screen.

Children and grandchildren gather together around their knees. This is the first time since her daughter got married.

Old Lady Ling was in great interest and drank a few glasses of thin wine. Sons and daughters-in-law came to toast, and at most they touched their lips. When the son-in-law and daughter came to toast, Mrs. Ling drank them all.

With a little bit of alcohol, Mrs. Ling said with ulterior motives: "I only have a daughter like Ah Hui, who has been arrogant and spoiled since she was a child, and has a strong sense of monopoly, even if I treat her brothers better, she will be jealous." After marrying into the Lu family over the years, there must be something that I can't do inconsiderately, and I ask my uncle to be considerate. ”

Lu An was so shrewd, how could he not hear the pun of Old Lady Ling, his smile was a little uncomfortable, and he coughed in response: "Mother-in-law is too worried." Ah Hui has a dignified temperament and is generally knowledgeable, and takes care of the inner house tightly and orderly. is fortunate to marry Ah Hui as his wife, which is the blessing of his son-in-law. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ling affectionately.

Ling's heart was both happy and worried.

The joy is that Lu An has not been so affectionate to her for a long time, but it is the old lady Ling who is worried about talking like this, and Lu An knows what she said in front of the old lady Ling as soon as she hears it, and she must be unhappy in her heart. At this time, his face was full of smiles, and after he returned to the room, he didn't know what it looked like

Old Lady Ling smiled: "It's good that the virtuous son-in-law doesn't think I'm long-winded." After a pause, he said: "Ah Hui has not returned to her parents' house for so many years after she got married, and this time I come back, I want to keep her for a few more days." ”

Lu An smiled: "This is also a matter of course. ”

After a few words of gossip, Lu An returned to his position

Ling Jingshu sat down with a group of cousins and sisters-in-law.

The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with the words loyalty and filial piety, and in the past 20 years, the border passes have been pacified without war, and more and more emphasis has been placed on literature and light on military force. The most noble thing is to take the imperial examination and enter the official career. This trend has long been formed in famous families, and reading has become the most important thing.

This kind of atmosphere has also affected women. But all the wealthy families will ask the female master to teach the daughter of the family to read and write. Not to mention a big family like the Ling family.

It is not uncommon to chew the words one by one.

This kind of occasion has always been when Ling Jingshu is in the limelight. However, she was not interested today, and put down her chopsticks after a few bites of hastily, and she didn't say anything after that.

Ling Jingxian was secretly strange in her heart, but she wished that Ling Jingshu would be silent, so as not to steal her limelight.

Ling Jingxian chatted with Ling Jingyan enthusiastically: "Cousin Yan, the two of us were born only one month apart. It's a pity that you have lived in the capital with your uncle and aunt all these years, and I have not had the opportunity to get close to you. When you come back this time, we finally have a chance to get close. ”

Ling Jingyan is the daughter of the long house, ranking seventh. Because he has lived in the capital for a long time, he is quite arrogant and self-controlled, and said with a faint smile: "My father took a long vacation and planned to live in Dingzhou for two months before returning to the capital." There are indeed many opportunities to get close in the future. ”

When it comes to Dingzhou, it can't help but reveal a bit of arrogance that is superior to others.

Ling Jingxian touched a soft nail, and she felt a little resentful in her heart.

Hmph, what's the big deal. Isn't it just that the uncle is an official in the capital, so you have the opportunity to live in the capital? Otherwise, you should also live in the Ling family's old house in Dingzhou.

Ling Jingyan's bright and moving, exquisite and elegantly dressed, at first glance, it is a popular style in the capital. Almost immediately, they were compared.

Ling Jingxian was unwilling in her heart, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "Why hasn't Cousin Shu spoken today. ”

He pretended to be enthusiastic and said to Ling Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, you rarely come back, and there are some things you don't know. Cousin Shu is full of poetry and books, outstanding in learning, and good at planting famous peonies, which is famous in our Dingzhou City. Someone gave Cousin Shu the title of the first beauty in Dingzhou! ”

is also the daughter of the Ling family, Ling Jingshu's name moved to Dingzhou. Ling Jingyan is unknown in Dingzhou. With Ling Jingyan's arrogance, she would definitely feel unconvinced after hearing these words.

Sure enough, Ling Jingyan listened to such an ulterior motive provocation, and suddenly became angry, looked at Ling Jingshu's beautiful face, and said with a smile: "Oh? Unexpectedly, cousin Shu is also good at planting peonies. ”

This word also faintly reveals a bit of gunpowder.

Ling Jingshu finally glanced up at Ling Jingyan.

Speaking of which, Ling Jingyan is also a tragic figure.

In her previous life, Ling Jingyan met King Yan by chance, and she secretly fell in love with her. With the family background of the Ling family, it is not enough to marry King Yan as a concubine, but it is barely enough to be a side concubine. Uncle Ling adheres to orthodoxy and supports the prince's faction, so naturally he will not let his daughter marry King Yan as a side concubine. rushed to order another family affair for Ling Jingyan.

Ling Jingyan was reluctant in her heart, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had to obey her father's orders.

Later, the prince's party lost, the prince was deposed, and King Yan was made the prince. **Yu was liquidated, and Uncle Ling bore the brunt of it and was sent to prison for the crime of greedy ink. The Ling family worked hard and spent most of the family wealth to save Uncle Ling's life.

Ling Jingyan's original family affair also came to naught because of this prison disaster.

Later, Ling Jingyan returned to Dingzhou with her parents. Because of his old age, the situation at home is bleak, and he can't find any good relatives. A matchmaker came to the door to propose marriage, the other party is over 30 years old, not to mention that there are a bunch of concubines in the family, and there are also concubines.

After Ling Jingyan got married, her life was not smooth. Later, when she gave birth to a child and encountered dystocia, Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Thinking of this, Ling Jingshu felt a little embarrassed in her heart, and she was not in the mood to compete with Ling Jingyan. Said lightly: "I have nothing to do, and occasionally pass the time in the garden." Outsiders don't know the inside story, so they just spread the rumors. ”
