When Linglong entered the upper room, the second aunt was angrily telling about the eldest aunt's family, and when Linglong came in, the second aunt's words came to an abrupt end.
The mother turned around: "Linglong, don't you accompany your little sisters, what are you doing when you come in?" ”
"Mother, I want to tell my second aunt something."
The second aunt was a little embarrassed, remembering that she was really too excited to dance just now, she smiled awkwardly: "Linglong girl looking for me?" ”
"Second aunt, I heard them say about the eldest aunt, you always hide like this, it's not a way to reads;!"
As soon as this was mentioned, the second aunt was anxious: "I understand the reason, isn't there no way!" Alas, I knew there would be this day from the day they came, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!
I have nowhere to be angry now, nowhere to complain about suffering, that family is a scoundrel, they are determined to destroy my family! ”
"Second sister-in-law, don't say that, there is always a way to solve the problem."
"Resolved? How to fix it? They are the best at watching people put down dishes, and when they can get by, they bully hard, and when they can't fight, she cries and pretends to be stupid and pitiful.
No, last day they bullied our mother and daughter like subordinates, and as soon as your second brother came back in the evening, they coaxed them, crying and crying, and let your second brother give them fifty taels of silver before sending them away.
You see, fifty taels of silver is not enough for them to spend the night, this nest of losers, how many family properties can be lost by them! It really makes me angry, hateful and I don't know what to do!
Third sister, I came today to take refuge. The second is to ask you to help me think of a way, and I must cure that family, otherwise they will find your house sooner or later. ”
Song smiled embarrassedly and embarrassed, although she knew that the second aunt was reasonable, but after all, that nest was her sister-in-law and nephew, and she didn't know how to say it, and the second aunt said:
"That's right. Third sister. There is another thing, yesterday I didn't let them in, and my sister-in-law said that she came to visit the old lady. She is the old lady's daughter-in-law, and if she is not allowed to enter the door, she will return the old lady to them, and they will take it over and raise it themselves. ”
The mother exclaimed, "How can that be done?" The mother's health was not good, and their family could not protect themselves. How to take care of your mother? ”
"Yes! I thought so too, saying that I couldn't say anything that would make them pick up the old lady. They used this as an excuse to rush through the door, and when they entered, they didn't even look at the old lady, and they quarreled with me about how difficult the days were outside, and they didn't blush at all if they asked me for this and that. Alas. I'm really ......
Third sister, if she wants to make trouble like this all the time, maybe one day I won't be able to stand it and let them take the old lady away. When the time comes, she will probably use the old lady to blackmail you, what do you think will be done? ”
Song became nervous when he heard this. She has seen the temperament of the sister-in-law's family, even if they are the orphans of their eldest brother, they can't let them toss the old lady.
"No, they must not take the old lady! What can I do? ”
Linglong thought for a while: "Mother, why don't we hide our grandmother secretly?" ”
"Hide! Where are you hiding? ”
"Don't we have a little yard outside? Let your grandmother move there temporarily, and you take Guilan to live there temporarily and take care of it, Guilan has kung fu, and they don't dare to make a mistake even if they find it.
When Daddy comes, our family has a mansion, and the family recruits a few more family members, and they dare to play tricks and go out directly, and then there will be not so much trouble! ”
The second aunt slapped her face: "Okay! Okay, this is a good way, I also thought about it, let the princess find a few reliable strong men to guard the yard, lest they always bully our mother and daughter, the only thing that is difficult to do is the old lady.
Now it's okay, if the third sister has a place to place the old lady, it would be the best, the third sister, what do you think ......? ”
Song thought about it, and there was no better way to do it in this situation now, so he nodded and agreed to reads;.
The second aunt stood up happily: "Okay, great! This trip was finally in vain, third sister, if you don't prepare, I'll go back and arrange the arrangements now. ”
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, didn't you say that the sister-in-law is guarding the alley? Isn't it just right to go back now? Stay a little longer and go back in the evening! ”
The second aunt thought about it and sat down again: "Also, look at me happy, that family is really a headache!" Oh, by the way, Linglong, aren't you looking for something with me? What's the matter? Let's hear it. ”
Linglong thought about it for a while, and felt that he would definitely not be able to accept it directly, so it was better to turn around and say: "Second aunt, last time I went to the princess's mansion, I listened to a few young ladies chatting, and they mentioned one thing, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that there was a new favored lady in the palace last month, and her father was still a three-grade political envoy, that lady was originally good, and she died unexplained overnight, and the palace didn't find out why, so she buried her mother in a perfunctory way, and she didn't even have a title......"
The second aunt's face turned slightly pale, Song glared at her, and said in a low voice: "Okay, why do you suddenly say this?" ”
"Mother, second aunt, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace, maybe every day, but we don't know. Everyone thinks that entering the palace is to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but who doesn't know that there is only one lady in the main palace, and the palace is drafted every three years, and there are many unknown palace maids, and how many can really survive in the end?
Even if you get out of the way, like that mother, you have a concubine, and it stands to reason that your status is not low, but what happened? died in an unknown overnight, and the family didn't even see it for the last time, what do you say they are trying to do? ”
Linglong paused slightly, and seeing that the second aunt's face was even more ugly, Song gave her a look and asked her to stop talking, but Linglong didn't, and added firewood to it:
"Mother, that mother's maiden family is still a three-grade political envoy, such a big official has no daughter, and there is no one in the palace to say it, what do you say if it is the daughter of an ordinary family?"
The second aunt's hand shook, there was a crisp click, and the teacup fell to the ground.
The second aunt said with a white face: "Linglong, what do you want to say?" ”
"Second aunt. Don't think I'm troublesome, I just want to say one thing: Qiao'er's sister is weak and not suitable for entering the palace, if you have to send her or push her into the fire pit, don't say anything about glory and wealth when the time comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say goodbye in this life! ”
"Linglong!" The mother raised her voice and reprimanded, "You girl is getting more and more unruly. Get out. Get me out! ”
Linglong didn't explain, stood up and walked out unhurriedly, she had just gone out. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the group of little girls shrunk in the door panel. Linglong gave them a look, and turned to the side room.
As soon as she entered the door, the little girls followed one after another, and Lingyu asked when she entered the door, "Sister Linglong." Is that rumor true? ”
Linglong didn't answer, and found a place to sit down. The others sat down with them, and everyone stared at her curiously.
Linglong's gaze swept over several little sisters one by one, and finally stared at Lingman and Qiao'er: "Did you two hear my words too?" They both nodded at the same time.
"What do you think?"
Both of them lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and read after a while;. Qiao'er said: "Although my sister's words are not good, they make sense, I don't want to enter the palace, I want to fight for that glory and wealth." I just want to stay with my parents, brothers and sisters and live a normal life. ”
Lingman looked at Qiao'er. Gritted his teeth and said: "I am a concubine, and there may not be a way out if I stay, if I have the opportunity, I would rather go into the palace and fight." ”
Lingyu said: "Sister Man'er is better to enter the palace than Sister Qiao'er to enter the palace, Sister Man'er and Sister Xuan'er can take care of each other and support each other, and grandpa helps to take care of it, Sister Qiao'er is too soft, and she will definitely be bullied when she enters the palace!" ”
Mei'er was dissatisfied and said: "Whoever dares to bully my sister, I must make her look good." ”
Lingyu patted her: "Stupid girl, how old are you, if you want to enter the palace, you have to wait at least three years, and it is not necessary that your sister will not be there at that time!" ”
There was silence in the room for a while, Lingyu realized that she had said the wrong thing, covered her mouth and stared at Qiao'er apologetically, Qiao'er smiled and shook her head:
"It's okay, I have self-knowledge, if I used to think that I could go or not, now I know that I don't want to go, Sister Linglong, please help me!"
Mei'er blinked her eyes: "Sister, are you still thinking about that Shangguan son?" ”
Qiao'er suddenly blushed, glared at Mei'er angrily, Mei'er stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, Zero Balance and Lingdan curiously pestered Mei'er to ask questions, such a trouble, the solemn atmosphere was eased a lot.
A few little girls played around for a while, and there was a knock on the door, it was Guilan's voice: "Miss Linglong, Miss Qiao'er, Mrs. and Uncle invite you over." ”
Qiao'er and Linglong glanced at each other, Linglong took her hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the second aunt always feels sorry for you, you can answer whatever she asks you, don't worry about anything else." ”
When the two came to the hall, seeing that the second aunt's face was still ugly, Song glared at Linglong unhappily, pulled Qiao'er over and asked softly: "Qiao'er, my aunt asked you, are you willing to enter the palace to be a mother?" ”
Qiao'er glanced at Linglong, then blessed her mother, and then walked to the second aunt and knelt down: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to enter the palace draft, my daughter doesn't want that glory and wealth, and my daughter just wants to stay by her father's side for the rest of her life and live a peaceful and stable life." ”
The second aunt was slightly surprised, she looked at Song hesitantly, and Song nodded: "Second sister-in-law, although Linglong's words are not good, but there is some truth, Qiao'er's temperament is indeed too weak, since she herself is unwilling, then ...... Forget it! ”
The second aunt frowned slightly: "But this place was won by his father with great difficulty, and people don't want it yet!" ”
"Second uncle, someone is willing to go to the draft instead of Qiao'er, once selected, she will definitely thank you a thousand times, and she will always remember the love between you and your second uncle, and she will repay it in the future."
"This ......"
"Actually, the quota is still secondary, I'm afraid his father won't agree!"
"Second sister-in-law, the second brother is a reasonable person, he has been an official for many years, and he knows a lot about things in the palace, you can tell him well, give a few more examples, he feels sorry for the children like that, he will be soft-hearted."
"Yes, second uncle, as far as I just said, if you tell the second uncle, he must know."
Song looked at Linglong in surprise: "That's the thing...... It's true? ”
"Of course, Mother, do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
The second uncle, mother and daughter stayed until the evening before going back, Linglong and her mother personally sent them out of the house, and then went to the nearby small yard to clean up, and when the second uncle and mother came to the news, they went to pick up the grandmother and read it.
That night, the mother and daughter rarely lay on the same bed, and Song tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Linglong was tossed and woken up by her a few times, and simply sat up: "Mother, don't hold it in your heart if you have something, say it!" ”
The mother also put on her clothes and sat up and sighed: "Alas, Linglong, what do you say your eldest aunt and second cousin's family should do?" ”
"Mother, we can't take care of our own affairs, how can we take care of others?"
"Silly girl, where are they someone else? They are the widows of your own uncle! ”
"Mother, you really shouldn't talk like this, my uncle defeated the Song family, and my grandfather was angry to death, and the living lesson is right in front of you. Don't forget, who helped take care of your grandmother all these years, who wrote to you and sent you money, mother, your second uncle is also your closest relative! ”
"I know, I have always remembered the kindness of your second uncle......"
"No, mother, you shouldn't take this as a favor, and the second uncle won't be happy if he knows.
This is family affection, the second uncle really treats you as his own sister, and he will take care of his grandmother as his own mother, and then look at the eldest uncle's family, what have they done all these years? I said that the family was self-inflicted, and whoever got involved was unlucky.
The Song family has already been defeated by them once, you don't want them to harm the second uncle's family and our family again, right? ”
Song sat frustrated, Linglong looked at her like that, and felt that she had overspoken, she thought for a while: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much, isn't the eldest cousin's family separated?"
The eldest cousin is a capable person, you see, didn't they follow to make trouble? I believe that their lives will get better and better, and we will help them again when we have the opportunity in the future, so that we can also give an explanation to the eldest uncle. ”
Song thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately, the family was separated earlier!" ”
"Yes, the separation of the family is the most right, and the eldest aunt's family should not blackmail them."
Linglong pulled the quilt and lay down, yawned and muttered a few words and fell asleep, the Song family didn't know when to sit and sleep, anyway, Linglong didn't see her anymore later.
Two days later, the second uncle's mother sent her grandmother over, and Linglong saw that there were a few more strong men escorting her by the carriage. In addition, the second uncle also agreed to give up the draft quota of Qiao'er.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Liang Chenyu got married, and the people in Su Mansion went to Liang Mansion early to congratulate and drink, and their mother also went, but Linglong couldn't go.
As soon as they left, the yard was empty, Linglong sat in front of the window and lifted the paintbrush and was stunned for a long time, no, everyone is happy on such a good day, what is the matter with me shrinking in the house alone? yes, I'm going to join in the fun.
"Gui Ying, who knows books and paintings, come and help me change my clothes!"
Hearing this, Zhihua suddenly jumped out: "Miss, do you want to go out?" ”
Linglong glanced at her with disgust: "As you wish!" ”
Zhihua jumped up with joy: "Okay! I knew Miss couldn't sit still! ”
Zhishu pinched her secretly: "Stinky girl, are you happy now?" Why don't you get the clothes for the young lady? (To be continued)
