Chapter 30: Persuasion (2)
After the father and daughter finished talking about business, they didn't know what to say for a while, they were speechless and a little embarrassed.
Ling Wuye coughed and broke the silence: "Ashu, you are fourteen this year!" ”
At this age, it's time to say kiss. Ling's tentative words that day were still in his ears, and Ling Wuye thought about it carefully behind his back, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good family business.
Ling Jingshu heard the meaning of Ling Wuye's words, and immediately responded: "Father, what I am thinking about now is to cure Ah Xiao's illness, and I am thinking about other facts. A lifelong event, let's wait until Ah Xiao and I come back from the capital! ”
Looking at Ling Jingshu, who looked immobile and calm, a strange feeling appeared in Ling Wuye's heart.
A girl who is waiting for the word boudoir, shouldn't she be shy and shy when she mentions family affairs? Ling Jingshu: This is too calm and calm
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes, and a hint of pleading appeared in her beautiful and bright eyes: "This is about the happiness of my life." The daughter implored her father not to accept anyone who mentioned the family matter to her father, and to wait for me to come back before making a decision. ”
Although children should obey their parents' orders. However, parents who cherish their children always ask their children before making a decision. Ling Jingshu's request didn't sound excessive, and after thinking about it for a while, Fifth Master Ling nodded and agreed.
At this time, Ling Wuye would never have thought that Ling Jingshu led Ling Xiao to leave Dingzhou and go to the capital, and he had already made up his mind that he would never return.
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.
Ling Wuye never liked to be disturbed in the study, so he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”
Li's laughing voice sounded outside the door: "Master, it's the concubine and Ah Yan." ”
It was the Li mother and son who came.
Fifth Master Ling's expression suddenly softened a little, and he ordered Ling Jingshu to open the door
When Li saw Ling Jingshu coming to open the door, he was not surprised, and shouted with a smile: "It turns out that Sister Shu is also there." When it comes, it doesn't let people pass it on. ”
It was clear that he knew that she was coming, so he deliberately led Ling Yu to stir up the situation. Over the years, the alienation and indifference between her and Ling Wuye have been greatly attributed to the Li family.
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corners of her lips and said, "I wanted to say something private to my father, so I came over quietly." Unexpectedly, it still alarmed my mother. ”
Li was choked and secretly annoyed. However, in front of Ling Wuye, she would never want to tear her face with Ling Jingshu. This is also the genius of Lee.
Li immediately changed the topic and said to Ling Wuye with a smile: "Because of the old lady's birthday, the family school has a seven-day holiday. However, Ah Yan didn't want to be idle all day, and he wanted to read early in the morning. The concubine thought that the lord had nothing to do in the house, so it was better to bring Ah Yu and the lord personally taught him to read and learn words. ”
Although Ling Yun is small, he inherited the clever and well-behaved Li family, and stepped forward in a serious manner, bowing to Ling Wuye: "Ask my father for more guidance." ”
A six-year-old child would behave like an adult, which is both cute and cute. What's more, Ling Yu is the youngest son of Ling Wuye, and men are generally strict with their eldest sons, and they are always a little more spoiled by their younger sons.
Ling Wuye smiled dumbly, and responded without thinking.
Joy and pride flashed in Li's eyes, and he glanced at Ling Jingshu intentionally or unintentionally.
How smart Ling Xiao was back then? Now I'm blind, but I'm a waste. Although Ling Wuye felt some pity for Ling Xiao, his favorite was his young son.
Ling Jingshu secretly sneered in her heart.
For the time being, let the Li family be proud. Soon she will give Li a taste of pain
The Ling family had been staying in the Lama Hall, but since Lu An came, they had to take care of her husband's food, clothing, and daily life, and the time spent in the Lama Hall was greatly reduced. However, there was never a shortage of people around Old Lady Ling. Sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters, one by one, rushed to serve by Mrs. Ling's side.
Today, the Yue clan led Ling Jingxian here.
Yue's red eyes and a look of grievance complained: "The second master brought the concubine and the concubine back, and the daughter-in-law did not treat him harshly. It's just that after saying a few words yesterday, the second master was unhappy and lost his temper at his daughter-in-law. Sister Xian'er was anxious to protect her mother, and collided with the second master for a few words, and the second master was angry and beat Sister Xian. Poor sister Xian'er hasn't seen her father for a few years, and she looks forward to his return day and night, who would have thought that meeting would be like this. Mother-in-law has to be the master of our mother and daughter."
As he spoke, he covered his face with a handkerchief and began to cry.
Ling Jingxian's eyes were also red, and she choked up and called out to her grandmother.
If you look closely, the delicate pretty face is indeed a little red and swollen. It can be seen that Ling Erye was angry and used a lot of strength.
Old Lady Ling was reluctant to ask about the affairs in the concubine's room.
The Yue family was jealous, and his words were scathing, seeing that Second Master Ling had brought back his concubine and concubine, how could he not make trouble. If Second Master Ling hadn't been angry, he wouldn't have lost his temper so much.
However, the finger marks on Ling Jingxian's face have not faded, and the mottled appearance of tears is really pitiful.
Old Lady Ling sighed and comforted, "Okay, don't cry for both of you mother and daughter." When the second child comes tomorrow, I will say a few words to him. No matter how much anger there is, it shouldn't be sprinkled on Sister Xian'er. The girl's face is the most tender, where can she withstand such a big hand. ”
Yue wiped his tears with a handkerchief and thanked him.
Ling Jingxian begged: "Grandmother, my father treats me and my mother coldly, and it is also because we gather less and leave more. In a few days, my father will leave Dingzhou, and I beg my grandmother to let our mother and daughter go with my father."
"Shut up!" Yue interrupted Ling Jingxian anxiously: "It's all nonsense. If we all go with your father, won't we be able to do our filial piety by your grandmother's side? This is never allowed to be said again. ”
Ling Jingxian was aggrieved and didn't dare to say anything.
Yue looked at Old Lady Ling apologetically: "Sister Xian'er is still young, and there are many inconsiderate things in her speech, mother-in-law, don't take it to heart." ”
Mrs. Ling lived to be seventy years old, and she had already grown old, how could she not see this little trick of the Yue-in-law mother and daughter, and said lightly: "What Sister Xian'er said is also reasonable. The husband and wife live in the same place, which is not a long-term solution after all. I'll have a good talk with the second child tomorrow, and let him take your mother and daughter to work together. ”
Yue's heart was overjoyed, but he said, "How can this be done." The second master has been running around, and the daughter-in-law Li Li and the second master stay in the old mansion to serve you. If he said that he wanted to leave, the second master would not be happy for the first time. ”
Ling Jingxian lost no time in muttering in a low voice: "Mother, didn't the eldest aunt stay in the old mansion either?" ”
The voice was not loud, just enough for Old Lady Ling to hear.
Old Lady Ling was a little unhappy in her heart. Listening to this, it's strange that it wasn't agreed before. It seems that the Yue family has already given birth to this thought.
The Yue clan has a face to compare with the long house.
Uncle Ling is a serious four-grade official, who has been in the capital for many years, and has purchased a mansion and residence, which can be regarded as taking root. On weekdays, he is busy with official business, and it is indispensable to ask the Sun family to come forward for entertainment.
Ling Siye is just a county order, and it is enough to have a concubine waiting by his side. Yue's wife, it is only right to stay in the old house to serve her mother-in-law.
If the Yue clan really wanted to leave, they could say that Old Lady Ling was unhappy in her heart, and she would not stop her. Yue's scheming like this makes people feel unhappy.
Old Lady Ling's face sank, and her voice revealed a little coldness: "It's normal for your mother and daughter to want to go with the second child, I don't plan to stop you." What is the purpose of pulling into the long house? If this kind of thing gets out, won't it make people think that I, an old woman, have been mistreating your second room in the past few years? ”
Old Mrs. Ling has been in charge of the house for many years and is very majestic, but at this time, there is no smile on her face, and the mother and daughter of the Yue family suddenly feel worried.
Yue's and Ling Jingxian opened their mouths in unison: "Mother-in-law (grandmother), please calm your anger"
Old Lady Ling was not in the mood to listen to their mother and daughter's ramblings, and waved her hand impatiently: "I'm a little tired, you two should retreat first!" ”
The Yue clan had no choice but to lead Ling Jingxian to retreat. Before the two of them walked out of the inner hall, they saw Mo Kui come in with a smile and report: "Old lady Qiqi, Miss Nine has something to see." ”
Old Lady Ling, who was known as "a little tired", immediately said, "Let Sister Shu come in." ”
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: ""
