－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Since the Ling family came back, the Lama Hall has become a little more lively than before.

Mrs. Ling was reluctant to let her daughter, so she simply let the Ling family live in Yonghetang. The two brothers, Lu Hong and Lu Qian, live in the guest room and come to say hello every day. A group of daughters-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters, and granddaughters set up the province every morning and dusk, and even Ling Fourth Master and Ling Fifth Master also appeared.

Although the main hall of Yonghetang is spacious, so many people stay inside, and it seems crowded.

The elders sat and talked, and the juniors did not have a place to sit, so they stood together and whispered to each other.

Ling Jingshu habitually stood beside Ling Xiao and asked in a low voice, "Ah Xiao, where did you go yesterday?" Why haven't I seen you for a day? ”

Ling Xiao always comes to Qiushui Pavilion several times a day. Yesterday it was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Xiao replied with a smile: "The eldest brother led the third brother to study at home, and when he saw that I was idle, he asked me to go to the audit. After a pause, he sighed again: "However, there are many that I don't understand. ”

Handsome's face showed a gloomy sense of loss.

After being blind, he can no longer read and learn words. This is Ling Xiao's biggest regret.

The little guy around Ling Xiao is literate and often reads some books to him. However, no one explained the meaning of the book to him, and he was vague and vague when he listened. When it comes to homeschooling, most of them can't understand it.

Ling Jingshu's heart was sour, she took Ling Xiao's hand, and comforted her softly: "Ah Xiao, if you like to read, it's not impossible. ”

"Ashu, don't comfort me." Ling Xiao muttered listlessly: "I can't see with my eyes, where can I still read." ”

Ling Jingshu said with a smile: "There is a little girl by your side who reads to you every day, if you don't understand something, you can ask your father, or you can ask a few cousins." Or go to your father and let a little servant go to your home every day to learn to read, and tell you what you have learned in detail. ”

In addition to the inconvenience of learning and practicing characters, it is not much worse.

Ling Xiao's face lit up, and he subconsciously clenched Ling Jingshu's hand, and his voice was full of excitement and surprise: "Auntie, how can you come up with such a good method!" ”

Ling Jingshu saw Ling Xiao so happy, and she also felt relieved in her heart: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Ah Xiao, if you like to read, just read it, don't waste it. Let your father also see your hard work. ”

She had other plans in mind, but there were many people at this time, so it was inconvenient to talk to Ling Xiao in detail.

Ling Xiao is simple by nature, he can't hide his thoughts, and the joy in his heart is almost on his face.

"Second brother, what are you and your sister so happy about here?"

A clear young voice rang in his ears.

Ling Xiao's ears were extremely sensitive, and he accurately "looked" at the past and shouted big brother.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly, and raised her eyes to look over.

The fifteen-year-old boy was wearing an apricot-colored brocade robe, with a handsome and handsome appearance and a smile on his face, looking at Ling Jingshu's sister and brother's gaze quite kindly.

This young man is none other than Ling Ting, the elder brother of the concubine!

Ling Ting's biological mother, Aunt Xia, whose real name is Xia He.

Xia Hesheng's flower appearance and moon appearance, he has served Ling Wuye since he was a child, and he has some affection, and later became Ling Wuye's maid. Not long after Yao's door, Xia He became pregnant.

Yao's heart was naturally depressed, but after all, she was a bride, and she had not yet gained a firm foothold in her husband's family, so it was inconvenient to do anything to a maid who had a room. After a few months, Yao's was also pregnant, and she concentrated on raising the fetus, and she had no time to ask about the pregnant Xia He.

After giving birth to Ling Ting, Xia He naturally became Aunt Xia.

Fortunately, in less than half a year, the Yao family gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and the depression and grievances in their hearts were suddenly swept away. Even if Aunt Xia is favored, she can't shake the status of the Yao family.

It's a pity that Yao's life is thin, and when Ling Jingshu's sister and brother were five years old, they had a serious illness and died. After an interval of one year, Ling Wuye married the Li family.

Li's father was only a six-rank official, and his background was not as good as Yao's. In terms of appearance and talent, it is far inferior. However, the Li family was quite skillful in his mind, and while he was careless and courteous, he surrounded the favored Aunt Xia, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the inner house.

Two years later, Li became pregnant and handed over all the trivial matters in the yard to Aunt Xia.

It was in this year that Ling Xiao, who was talented and intelligent, fell beside the rockery, and hit his head heavily on the rockery, bleeding profusely. After that, he lost his sight and could no longer see.

Old Lady Ling was furious and interrogated all the people who were nearby that day, but she couldn't find any clues, so she had no choice but to give up.

Fifth Master Ling felt sorry for his beloved son, and his anger was transferred to Aunt Xia, who was in charge of the courtyard. After the angry call, he ordered someone to lock up Aunt Xia, and never stepped into Aunt Xia's house again.

Aunt Xia couldn't survive for two years, so she lingered on the sickbed and died of depression.

The Li family, who is at ease to raise a fetus, seems to have nothing to do with this qiē on the surface. After Aunt Xia was placed under house arrest, she also pleaded for Aunt Xia and was a good person.

After giving birth to her son Ling Yu, the Li family finally gained a firm foothold in the Ling Mansion.

There are three sons and one daughter in the five rooms, Ling Ting is a concubine, and his biological mother is disgusted by Ling Wuye, and her status in the house is not high. Ling Xiao is a serious concubine, but because of blindness, she has become a waste, although Ling Jingshu is beautiful and outstanding, she is favored by the old lady, after all, she is a daughter, and she always has to get married.

In this way, the youngest Ling Yu has become the highest status in the fifth room, and he is also the most favored by Ling Wuye.

After that, no one in Ling Wuye's courtyard could become a threat to the Li family.

A few years later, Ling Jingshu married into the Lu family, and Ling Xiao "died unexpectedly" before getting married. The thorns in Li's eyes were finally removed, and he didn't know how happy he was

Because of the accident that year, Ling Xiao lost sight in both eyes, and Aunt Xia also fell out of favor and lost her life.

Ling Ting didn't say it in his mouth, but it was impossible for him to have no mustard in his heart. and Ling Jingshu's sister and brother maintain a superficial politeness, and they don't have much contact on weekdays, and they are not close.

No one knew that this qiē was all a secret trick on the part of the Li family. killing two birds with one stone, not only murdered Ling Xiao, but also removed the favored Aunt Xia.

Ling Jingshu has always had a knot in her heart for Ling Ting. But now that she knows the truth of the year, and looking at Ling Ting again, she no longer has the resentment and indifference of the past, but has a little more pity.

"Big brother, Ah Shu gave me a way just now. Let the little guy around me go to the home school every day to read on my behalf, and then tell me in detail when I come back. Ling Xiao excitedly told Ling Ting: "In this way, I can continue to study." ”

Ling Ting's eyes flashed and he smiled: "This method is really good. You can't see with your eyes, and it's inconvenient to go home every day. It's a good idea to let the little guy do the work for you. Although you can't practice calligraphy and take part in scientific examinations, it's always good to read more books. ”

Ling Xiao was originally full of joy, but when he heard the last two sentences, the smile on his face suddenly dimmed a little.

yes, how can he read more books. A blind man who can't write is not qualified to participate in the scientific examination, let alone enter the official career, and he can't even do ordinary things. He can only be a waste person who is kept in the inner house!

"Reading can make people know right from wrong," Ling Jingshu's smiling voice sounded in Ling Xiao's ears: "Reading more is always beneficial." As for what can be done in the future and what will be done, it is all for the future, and there is no need to think about it now. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Ting quietly.

The eyes that have always been gentle and peaceful reveal a bit of coldness.

Ling Ting's heart was secretly cold, and he subconsciously stopped his mouth.

Ling Jingshu smiled again and coaxed Ling Xiao: "Ah Xiao, can I accompany you to find your father later?" ”

After Ling Xiao was blind, he stayed in the house all day, rarely had contact with outsiders, and his temperament was innocent and simple, without the calmness of teenagers of the same age, and he was still a child's temper. A little depressed, he was coaxed by Ling Jingshu to say a few words softly, and soon became happy again: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Lu Hong stood beside Ling. When the elders spoke, Lu Hong was absent-minded and couldn't listen at all, and his eyes fell on Ling Jingshu who was not far away from time to time.

I don't know what Ling Jingshu is talking to Ling Xiao, her face is full of gentle smiles, and her eyes are even softer like spring water, which makes people's hearts ripple

It's a pity that such a smile is gentle, just towards Ling Xiao. When her gaze moved away from Ling Xiao's body, she immediately became cold.

Thinking of the previous encounter, Lu Hong's heart was even more depressed.

Lu Hong, who was immersed in his thoughts, didn't notice that Lu Qian, who was beside him, was staring at Ling Jingshu like him.

The gaze is focused and complex, containing hidden joy and uneasiness.

The two brothers were in a trance, and they didn't pay attention to what Ling was talking about.

"Ah Hong, Ah Qian," Ling shouted and no one answered, he couldn't help frowning, and raised his voice a little: "What are you two thinking, why don't I tell you to agree." ”

Ling's raised voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Hongjun's face flushed slightly, and he quickly gathered his thoughts: "I don't know what my mother commanded?" ”

Ling said with a smile: "We set off early that day and arrived in Dingzhou first. The old man was busy with official business, and he told me at the time that he would leave a few days later. I guess it's going to be two days away. You two have nothing to do in the house, so keep an eye out for news from the docks. When the time comes, pick up your father at the docks. ”

Lu Hong responded without thinking.

Lu Qian also responded, and quickly glanced up at Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu's pretty face stiffened and pale in an instant, and her body trembled slightly. Not wanting to be noticed about her abnormality, she quickly lowered her eyelids, hiding all the pain and resentment under her eyes.

Everyone was listening to Ling's words. No one noticed Ling Jingshu's strange reaction, only Lu Qian could see it clearly.

Lu Qian's eyes flashed with shock and understanding. Endless pain and helplessness stirred in my heart, as if I was about to break through my thin chest
