It's been more than ten days since she went home, except for the last time she met by chance outside Bitong Courtyard, Linglong has never seen her father again, and the three sisters and brothers have not come to see her according to the rules, that is to say, the entire Jin Mansion is transparent as her concubine.

Although Linglong is a concubine, she is not the eldest daughter. Before Jin Min married Feng, there were already three rooms, all of which were served since childhood, a few years older than Jin Min, which is a common thing in large households.

After Feng and Jin Min got married, the cousin of the aunt's family was bullied by her stepmother very badly, so Mrs. Feng took this niece over, and this cousin was Song Xiuzhu.

At that time, Song Xiuzhu's eyebrows were delicate, delicate and soft, as if she didn't dare to say it out loud. Feng has been pampered since he was a child in his mother's family, but he takes great care of this cousin.

are both sisters, but Song Xiuzhu's mother is not well married, and her husband's family is just the son of a seven-pin county order. Mrs. Feng told Song Xiuzhu a few family affairs, but the capital is not as small as the county, and there are Feng family's daughters, most of the men dislike Song Xiuzhu's small family background, and finally there is a poor child who has just been promoted, but she is picky that Song Xiuzhu is the eldest daughter who has lost her mother.

That night, Song Xiuzhu's three-foot white ayazi hung herself up, and was rescued by Feng Wanrong, and after waking up, Song Xiuzhu cried that since she couldn't get married, she was willing to make cows and horses for her cousin for the rest of her life.

Feng Wanrong was only fifteen years old, and she couldn't stand Song Xiuzhu's tears, so she begged Mrs. Feng and asked Song Xiuzhu to accompany her.

Mrs. Feng is from the past, although Song Xiuzhu is her niece, but the closest is her daughter. Besides, the Jin family already has three rooms, and if they want to raise concubines in the future, their own daughters are young, if they can't control those concubines, it's always good to have Song Xiuzhu, a cousin, to help them.

On the day of marriage, after Feng Wanrong's big red sedan chair was carried to the Jin family, Song Xiuzhu also quietly carried it to the back door of the Jin family in a small sedan chair.

The eldest wife and the second wife of the Jin family are actually cousins, no one dares to mention this matter in the Jin family now, since the decline of the Feng family, the second wife Song Xiuzhu no longer mentions the relationship between her and the Feng family, once a little maid inadvertently said that Song Xiuzhu knew about it, and after being beaten half to death, let the teeth take it away, and since then even the three concubines have not dared to say it.

Linglong knew that she was still very young at that time, but she still remembered that she called other concubines and aunts, but in private she called Song Xiuzhu's cousin.

Song Xiuzhu had three children under her knees, and Feng was tolerant of this cousin, and after giving birth to her eldest son, Jin Zifeng, he cut off the decoction for her. Song Xiuzhu's eldest daughter Jin Yuan is two years older than Linglong, she was born after Jin Zifeng, and her son Jin Xian is younger than Linglong. The second daughter, Jin Yu, was only found after Linglong left home, and Linglong never saw her.

Feng's Rongyuan is a three-entry house, and the courtyard where Linglong lives is actually a cross-courtyard of Rongyuan, which was only opened every other month, and then the news of Feng's madness infection came out, so all the doors were blocked, leaving only the main entrance. Linglong went to Rongyuan, but also went around and entered from the gate of Rongyuan.

Feng's illness would attack almost every day, and when he had an attack, he would shout and scream, and if he grabbed a person, he would call Feng Wanrong, and after the attack, he would fall into a deep sleep, as if he had exhausted his body.

There was no smell of lichens in the room, and it immediately became unpleasant. Feng was often incontinent, and the stench between the mattresses lingered.

The woman begged to look at Linglong: "Fifth Miss, let's order a hundred flowers, this room is not well ventilated, and the smell is heavier." ”

The bedroom where my mother used to live was larger and well ventilated, but after Feng's illness, she refused to live in it again, often screaming in the middle of the night that there was a ghost, and it was much better to move here.

Linglong didn't think much about it, but at this time, she had an idea, and she said to Xingyu: "You go find an axe, let's cut down that plantain." ”

Xingyu was startled, even though she was only four or five years old at the time, she still remembered that Feng was very precious to that plantain, and she was not allowed to have dust on it on weekdays, and often asked the girls to move a ladder to wipe the leaves. Why did Miss Fifth say that she was going to cut it?

Linglong saw that Xingyu was standing still, and she didn't explain, so she said to the woman: "You can help her go and cut it together." ”

My mother didn't want to live in that room, maybe it was because of this plantain, the sound of the rain hitting the plantain, and the sound of the wind blowing through the plantain leaves, which could irritate the mother, and for the mother, the plantain represented her father, Kim Min, the man she loved and hated.

cut down the banana tree, and Linglong let Feng sleep again, and changed the furnishings of the two rooms. As soon as Feng woke up, Linglong shouted "Feng Wanrong is here" while running, Feng really chased after him, and when Feng ran into the room, Linglong came out from behind the door and nodded at the mother-in-law, which was considered to have moved her mother over.

It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and Linglong knows that her brother Jin Zifeng is coming back. It's just that I didn't see anyone from the Xu family, and the kitchen sent more meals to Linglong, thinking that the mother bear was afraid that she would really faint from hunger in front of the Xu family, and she couldn't give an account to the second wife.

The next day, there was really news that Jin Zifeng had returned, and the second-class maid Huixiang girl in the Song family's house came to invite Linglong over, and brought two mothers-in-law over to dress up Linglong. One of the mothers-in-law was holding a jewelry box in his hand, and the head and face inside were all Song's, and he lent it to Linglong for temporary use.

Linglong is still very happy, she saw her situation in the mansion before, and she was very worried that her brother was the same as her, and he was not as good as the eldest son. can see that Song Xiuzhu moved the crowd to dress her up, she must have wanted to do it for Jin Zifeng, although it is superficial work, it can also be seen that her father still values this only sister-in-law very much.

It's just that I don't know why my brother hasn't asked a doctor to treat his mother all these years since he still has a status in the house? Although mental illness is not easy to cure even in modern times, at least some soothing medicine can be used, Linglong asked her mother-in-law, she has never seen a doctor coming, and she has never heard of giving medicine to the eldest wife.

There is one thing that Linglong didn't expect, that is, Jin Zifeng didn't come back alone, and he came with him, as well as his classmate and friend Xu Tingshen.

The Xu family really came, but it was not the Xu family who came, but Xu Tingshen himself.

When Linglong came to the banquet, Jin Min and the second wife Song Xiuzhu were there, and the concubine Jin Yuan, the third Miss Jin Yuan, the seventh Miss Jin Yu, and the concubine Jin Xian were also there.

Jin Zifeng sat on the circle chair by the window, listening to Xu Tingshen and his father's greetings. A maid came in and said that Miss Fifth was coming, but he sat still and didn't even look at the door.

However, Xu Tingshen turned around to look when he heard this, but he saw Linglong walking in, and the eyes of the two happened to meet, he suddenly felt rude, and hurriedly sat upright.
