"Sister Long, why are you here?" Xu Tingshen's voice was full of surprise, did he accidentally bump into him, or did Sister Long learn that he was coming and came to meet him on purpose? Whatever the reason, he will gladly accept it.

Linglong was down-to-earth and generous, she looked at Xu Tingshen with a calm face. The fifteen-year-old boy is immature and delicate, and his joy is beyond words.

Mother has a good eye and finds herself such a pure person, but the more this is the case, the more he can't be a victim, he should find a woman like him who was born in a scholarly family, gentle and graceful, and talks about poetry and painting in her spare time.

Thinking of this, Linglong strengthened her determination, she wanted to take Xu Tingshen out.

She had a cold face, and her voice was soft but alienated: "Second Master Xu, since my family has proposed to postpone the marriage proposal, you might as well take the opportunity to put this family business out of it, and choose a good match." ”

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Xu Tingshen was taken aback. He heard it right, it came from Linglong's mouth!

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, remembering what happened when Jin Yuan fell into the water that day, and then he said: "Sister Long, is someone forcing you, don't be afraid, I won't change my mind, I'll go back and ask Mrs. Chang to propose, you just need to be wronged for another two or three years, and you will marry after you." At that time, my mother's family will no longer be able to bully you and make things difficult for you. ”

He spoke very quickly, different from his usual slow-pitched Sili, which reminded Linglong that outside the Fog Pavilion, he was going to send her back to Zhuangzi, he wanted to protect her, and now, too, he wanted to marry her and take her out of the sea of suffering.

But in that case, what about the mother? Linglong remembered when she had just returned from Jiangsu. The dry, hard and cold steamed bun in front of my mother's bed.

She didn't want to let herself think about it anymore, and said to Xu Tingshen: "You and my brother are friends, I know everything about my family, there is no impermeable wall, even if you don't say it, the Xu family will already know about it, otherwise they won't have walked around with the Jin family for many years." Marriage is a good marriage of two surnames, the upper is to the temple, and the lower is to succeed the next generation. The Xu family is a family of poetry and books, and there are many relatives in Wangdu. Even if Lord Xu and Mrs. Xu reluctantly agreed to this family business. In the future, it will be difficult for me to get along with my mother's family. I have a mother, I can't cut off the connection with my mother's family, and maybe I will go back to my mother's house twice a day to serve my mother, and when the family has a banquet. The lady of my mother's family will most likely be my mother-in-law. Even if you don't care. But what about the relatives and elders in the family. You and I are caught in the middle, and it's the hardest. At that time, I am afraid that even the initial joy will slowly fade away without a trace. ”

Xu Tingshen was shocked, these things were all things he had never thought of. But as soon as Linglong mentioned it, he knew that this was something he couldn't avoid. Before coming, his mother told him how reluctant the Chang family had heard that it was a marriage with the Jin family's Xifu.

The Linglong in front of her is still a weak girl, but her eyes are like a thousand-year-old well, calm and waveless, but she seems to know everything.

If he hadn't met Jin Zifeng in Taishan Academy, even he himself would have forgotten that he had set up such a family affair when he was a child, and he would not have the idea of seeing each other in the Jin family.

At the dragon boat meeting, he and his cousin rescued Miss Jin San, and at that time he should have seen that if it wasn't for his father not wanting to offend the Jin family, according to the will of his grandmother and mother, this family business would have been stopped.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, his mother did not give a gift to the Jin family, he was very unhappy when he found out, and he did not go out for a day in the house, and his mother persuaded him that it was because he was about to propose marriage, so he did not give a gift. Thinking about it now, this reason was crude and fragile, but he didn't think much about it at the time.

Although the parents don't like to socialize, they can go from Wangdu to the capital, and they never slack off on the big and small New Year's festivals, so how can they miss the share of their in-laws, and this difference is a full eight years.

I think since the day Mrs. Feng fell ill, her parents didn't want to mention this family affair anymore.

He suddenly found that there were many, many things he hadn't thought of, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell.

"Sister Long, everything has me, I will mediate from it, my parents only have one son, they love me, and my grandmother, she loves me the most, and she will not embarrass me."

When he said this, even he felt pale and powerless. It is because he is an only child that the expectations of his parents are even higher on him. The Xu family doesn't need a daughter-in-law to post gold, but they can't lose face because of their daughter-in-law's family. If Linglong wants to go back to her parents' house in the future, her mother is afraid that she will not agree

Linglong smiled, didn't say anything more, saluted him, and turned away. She said everything she wanted to say, Xu Tingshen should understand.

It wasn't until Linglong's figure completely disappeared from his sight that Xu Tingshen woke up, and he suddenly found that he didn't even have the courage to stop her.

He thought he could save her from the sea of suffering, but could he?

Linglong's mother is filial piety, so that she has cut off contact with her biological mother since then, in her opinion, it may be better to let her stay in the Jin family.

Xu Tingshen walked out of Tingfeng Pavilion in despair, and was bumping into Jin Zifeng's little guy, who said: "Second Master Xu, there are two brothers from your house, waiting outside the gate at this time." ”

Xu Tingshen didn't seem to hear it, and walked over from the little guy with a white face, Lan Mo was teasing the birds in the yard, and trotted to follow after seeing it.

Qingcha had just sent Linglong away, and was coming in through the door, when she saw the second master of the Xu family walking past her with a pale face, she hurriedly saluted, but Xu Ting ignored it.

Seeing him walking away, Sweeping Snow asked, "Second Master Xu, what's wrong, is it Miss Five?"

Qingcha glared at Sweeping Xue: "No one is allowed to say anything about the fifth lady's visit, and I will deal with it when the third master is there." ”

Xu Tingshen returned home, didn't say anything, went directly into the study, closed the door, and didn't even let Lan Mo in.

Ying heard that he was back, so he asked the maid to come over to inquire, but saw that Yang's mother was at a loss, and she didn't know what to do.

Yang's mother is Xu Tingshen's nurse and regards him as her own flesh and blood. Ying asked her to send two people to the Jin family to find the second master, and she guessed that the second master must have gone to the Jin family.

The Jin family is the second master's father-in-law's family, she has long seen that the lord and the wife are not very satisfied, but the second master mentioned this family business, and his face was full of joy that could not be hidden.

This family affair was postponed by the Jin family, and the second master wanted to ask to understand, he came back like this, could it be that the Jin family had changed their minds?

Yang's mother is angry, although she is just a nurse, she loves to spread the gossip of big families among people. The Jin family is hiding and covering again, and the eldest lady of the Jin family's Xifu has been sick for many years, who doesn't know that she is crazy, I heard that even the maid who serves her is crazy and dead, and I don't know if the Miss Jin Wu also has this disease.

It's such a family, and it's not their turn to quit their relatives, but think about it the other way, if the Jin family doesn't want to recognize this family affair anymore, that's also a good thing, a while ago, my cousin's wife also brought her daughter over, and the cousin Shi Ping was quiet and graceful, with a dignified appearance, and the wife looked very fond of it, and gave her the purple jade and Dogtail orchid hairpin to marry.
