Chapter 120: Twilight (2nd Update)

When she returned to her house in Xifu, Linglong asked Xingyu: "Are you done?" ”

Xingyu asked the little girls to get face wash, and helped Linglong take off the apricot makeup and gown on her body and change into a homely jacket with honey color. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Nie has done everything, and the maid has already placed my brother and the car in Sweet Water Lane, so that he will wait at the back door of Dongfu tomorrow." ”

Xingyu is Linglong's sister-in-law, and her mother is Linglong's sister-in-law. Xingyu also has an older brother on it, after giving birth to Xingyu, her mother entered the Jinjia West Mansion, the elder brother was fostered in the country uncle's house, and Xingyu was taken by her father to live in the capital. Sister-in-law Li and her husband had an accident on the way back to the countryside to visit their son, and his brother Li Sheng was a man, and he had elders in his family to take care of him, Feng's poor Xingyu's daughter's family was afraid that she would be left out in the cold, so they left her in the house, and Xingyu's uncles were also happy to worry, so they simply wrote her a refuge paperwork, and let Xingyu be a little maid by Linglong's side.

Xingyu has been in Jiangsu for many years, and she has long cut off contact with her brother, and after returning to the capital, Xingyu has a sweet mouth, and soon someone told her that her brother had come to look for her and left an address with Steward Liu. Not long ago, Linglong took the address and asked Nie Lin to help find Xingyu's brother Li Sheng, who came to the capital last year, because he had practiced martial arts, and now he is the executioner of the Huwei Dart Bureau.

Linglong was short of manpower, and learned from Xingyu that Li Sheng had not only learned one and a half moves, but also studied in private school for two years, so he asked him to quit the dart game and do things for himself.

Li Sheng is loyal, he does things for Miss Jin Wu, he doesn't have to lick the blood like in the dart game, and he can take care of his sister, so he happily agreed.

Nie Lin helped Linglong buy a set of carriages and horses. Today, Xingyu has placed Li Sheng and Che Ma in the house in Tianjing Lane.

Linglong can use the carriage in the house when she goes out, but most of the people in this house are Song Xiuzhu's people, and occasionally some are not, and they are also obedient to Song Xiuzhu.

If Linglong wants to do her own thing, she must have her own people.

She changed her clothes, freshened up again, and took Xingyu to Moliuzhai to see her father.

Jin Min went to Bitong Temple, and Linglong was a little disappointed. Said to Lixiang: "My father is at my aunt's." I won't go to say goodbye, but if my father asks, and the girl tells me that everything is fine in Dongfu. Please don't worry about him. ”

She said so. But I felt funny in my heart. Her father didn't care, she was in the old house for eight years, and her father didn't know a word for her. She went to Dongfu, of course, she wouldn't be worried.

She left Moliuzhai, looked at Bitong Courtyard from afar, turned to Xingyu and said, "You inquire, see if Bitong Courtyard has invited a doctor from Qianjinke recently." ”

Xingyu nodded, turned around and walked into the twilight. Linglong's brain was spinning rapidly, Aunt Zhao had never been favored, but she was not reconciled, and privately cultivated her own person to give to her father, but this matter was soon known by Song Xiuzhu, forcing her to lose her green sleeves. Then Song Xiuzhu carried the pear fragrance she raised since she was a child to the room, and served her father in the bright light.

The young and gentle Li Xiang is in love with his father, originally because of Jin Yuan's matter, he should also blame Song Xiuzhu for not taking care of his daughter, but because of Li Xiang, he is grateful to Song Xiuzhu, at this time, he may feel that the Song family is gentle and interesting, and bears the burden of humiliation.

If it was at this time, Song Xiuzhuzhu had a secret knot, and then gave birth to a boy for her father

Jin Min only has two sons, Jin Zifeng and Jin Xian, and compared to the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family, the son is a little thin. If Song Xiuzhu is pregnant at this time, it is a good time for her to turn over, Mrs. Jin has always attached importance to her male grandson, and she will no longer be difficult for her during her pregnancy.

Although it is difficult for Song Xiuzhu to straighten up, if she wants to regain control of Xifu Zhongfang, she only needs a chance.

It's just that she is no longer young after all, and she has passed the best time to give birth, otherwise she would not have been happy after giving birth to Jin Yu.

Thinking of this, Linglong saw the mulberry paper in front of her again, she retracted her gaze, didn't say a word, took Huancui and walked back.

"Sister Long, wait."

A voice came, and Linglong heard that it was her brother Jin Zifeng's voice, she turned around and saw Jin Zifeng and her fourth cousin Jin Ziye walking over here.

Linglong bent his knees to salute the two brothers, and Jin Zifeng smiled: "You are here to greet your father, and so are we, all of them are in the air." ”

Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Brother's vacation is coming soon, when will you go back to Taishan Academy?" ”

Jin Zifeng said: "My fourth cousin and I came to my father for this matter, we all want to end next year, and Brother Xu Xian is also ready to end next year." ”

Linglong said: "The second uncle and father are both from the second class jinshi, and they have friends in the same department in the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, so the third brother and the fourth brother are ready to stay in the capital to prepare for the exam?" ”

Jin Ziye was taken aback and said, "We haven't talked to anyone about this, how did the fifth sister guess it?" ”

Linglong said with a smile: "This is still guessing, next year will open Enke, but at this time, the streets of the capital are full of students from other places." ”

Jin Ziye's face was red, he had been out with his father for many years, he only knew how to study hard, and he didn't understand the doorway, and he only understood after listening to the reminder of his third cousin, but it turned out that even a boudoir woman like the fifth sister had already known.

Jin Zifeng saw that the fourth brother was a little cramped, and smiled to relieve him: "Sister Long has just been to Dongfu today, and I want to go shopping on the street by the way, and after gaining knowledge, I immediately came to give advice to the brothers." ”

Jin Ziye secretly thought that he was not sophisticated enough, and he was timid in front of his fifth sister, no wonder he often heard people say that the capital is rich and beautiful, and the characters are beautiful, and today I just heard the third cousin talk about the study tour, and I feel that I am short-sighted, and now I have only said two words with the fifth sister, like a boy who has never seen the world.

Linglong also felt that she was a little straightforward in her speech, she had seen Jin Ziye before, so she still regarded him as a child in her heart, but she forgot that he was thirteen years old, and he was famous in his father's field.

She pretended to be surprised: "Hey, how did the third brother know that this is what I just saw today?" ”

Jin Zifeng laughed, and the shame on Jin Ziye's face faded, and he said to Jin Zifeng: "If my father and third uncle promise to let me stay in the capital, I will have to bother the third brother to take me out for a walk, have a good experience, and introduce a few more friends to me." ”

Jin Zifeng said: "My own brother, why be polite. ”

Seeing that the two of them looked like brothers, Linglong was noncommittal. Jin Ziye is only thirteen years old, he doesn't have to be down next year, let alone focus on making friends and meeting left and right like Jin Zifeng.

Linglong had the heart to remind, but he still didn't speak, at this time, Jin Ziye was instigated by Jin Zifeng to be on the rise, unless the second uncle and father opened their mouths to stop them, he couldn't listen to anyone's words.

She said goodbye again, but Jin Zifeng pulled her aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu Xian asked people to bring a message today, the Xu family invited someone with a noble status, and tomorrow I will go to the house to officially propose, just now I went to Chunhui Hall to tell my grandmother about it, but my grandmother thought that she would propose marriage just after the festival, and the Xu family was a little hasty and not solemn enough, so let me bring a message to Brother Xu Xian again, asking them to postpone for a few days and prepare to come again." ”

Linglong's face was calm, and what Jin Zifeng said seemed to have nothing to do with her. was laughing secretly in his heart, and he didn't know what method Jin Zifeng used, so Mrs. Jin proposed to postpone the proposal.

The two families have already exchanged tokens, and the proposal is just a formality, showing the respect of the male family for the female family.

Father, of course, won't.

But the elder brother Jin Zifeng has already moved other thoughts, now the Jin family and the Xu family are only verbally engaged, if they formally propose, the next thing is to put this family matter on the ground, and at that time, the Gu family will have a big face, and they will not be able to take their wives.

I can't afford to be early, and my brother doesn't want to be busy in vain.

For Linglong, the relationship with the Xu family has become a blessing, which is to fulfill her mother's wish; If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, she still has a lot of things to do, she doesn't want to be engaged to anyone, let alone get married, she can't leave her mother, she wants to stay in the Jin family, turn over for her mother, and support her mother.

The relationship with the Xu family has long been decided, and it is also the wish of the mother, so it can be delayed, dragged to the age when it is necessary to marry, and then think of other countermeasures, as for her brother's thoughts, she did not pay attention to it at all except for secretly mocking herself.

Linglong silently walked on the vast path of twilight, and she remembered that in the twilight like this, Xu Tingshen's clear eyes were like a clear spring among the stones, so pure that she couldn't bear it.

Perhaps, one day, she will hurt him.

If that's the case, it's better to do it sooner.
