It was so cold outside that the treetops hung with strings of ice edges, glistening in the sunlight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's so cold!" Meiya leaned against the crack in the door, glanced out, and immediately shrank back.
"Sister, let's get something to eat."
Yang Duanwu also happened to be a little hungry, and in this cold day, he was hungry faster than usual.
But now this situation is not as good as before, Yang Duanwu has been looking for a while, and only some potatoes can still satisfy hunger.
Yang Duanwu thought about it, so he called the whole family over, gathered in a circle, and prepared to make a fire to keep warm and bake potatoes at the same time.
This idea was immediately supported by Meiya.
"Good, this is good! I'm freezing to death, hurry up and build a fire! With that, Meiya volunteered to find firewood.
Here, Yang Duanwu has already prepared the potatoes, and the smart Ah Yuan doesn't know where to get some hairpins, so he fixed the hairpins on the wooden sticks, and the other end of the hairpin was tied with potatoes.
Soon, the warm firelight warmed the room, and Yang Duanwu felt that the whole person's actions were much more agile.
"Meiya, watch carefully, your potatoes are about to burn!" Xie Ling said with a smile.
It turned out that Meiya was bent on keeping warm and put the potatoes aside. It's all on fire.
"Ah, my potatoes!" Meiya was shocked and quickly picked up the stick with the potato in it again.
On the other hand, the potatoes roasted by Yang Duanwu are the best-looking, with a little burnt in the yellow, but the aroma is full.
"Oh my, I'll eat first." Ah Yuan pouted, and his hands were already busy peeling.
Tear open the charred skin, and the golden potatoes inside are very gluttonous. Looking at Ah Yuan's satisfied eating image, Erya also picked a potato and ate it with him.
"It tastes really good!" Erya said happily: "I feel better than the usual potatoes!" ”
Meiya couldn't hold it back for a long time, and ate two in a row, peeling the skin while swallowing, as if she had just been hungry for three days.
Yang Duanwu felt curious, this ordinary potato was actually eaten by them with the taste of food. I also tasted one.
Sure enough, this potato has a faint floral fragrance, sweet and delicate.
After thinking about it, Yang Duanwu finally determined that the reason for this wonder should be this firewood, it turned out that the firewood that Meiya brought over was a fruit branch.
Under the management of Zhou Yan and the strong financial support of Master Xie and the Xie Mansion, the Lin Family Dyeing Workshop quickly got on the right track, and it even gave people a thriving feeling when Master Lin took over.
But at this time, Master Lin suddenly sent an invitation letter to Xie Ling, hoping that Xie Ling's family would come over for a light meal. I was afraid that Xie Ling would not go, so I asked Lin Jingjing, who was three months pregnant, to come over and invite her.
Although Xie Ling didn't want to go, for the sake of Lin Jing's grandson in his belly, he agreed to go over.
Lin Jing came over again to invite the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is standing by the pond, holding a grain of fish food in his hand, feeding the fish.
"How do you want to eat in a good way?" The Dragon Boat Festival asked the slave maid to put away the fish food and pulled Lin to sit quietly in the pavilion.
"Daddy said that since the two of us became relatives, we had never eaten together, and he wanted to make up for something." Lin Jing actually felt strange, Master Lin had been in a bad mood recently, and he was in the mood to invite someone to dinner.
"What does your daddy want? Let's get some gifts. "The Dragon Boat Festival seems to have agreed.
Lin Jing smiled: "They are all relatives, what are you polite, don't use it." ”
"A little bit of a courtesy is also deserved. Otherwise, it's not good to say that we have no manners. ”
Lin Jing thought for a while and said, "My father said these days that he likes to eat sour. Dragon Boat Festival, I know your craftsmanship is good, it's better to brew some sour plums. ”
"How can any man like to eat sour plums? I've heard that pregnant women like to eat sour! I know, you must want to eat it yourself, but you are too embarrassed to ask me for it, so you deliberately use the name of your father. The Dragon Boat Festival teased.
"Nothing, everything. I love sour, but lately my dad really loves sour. While eating, Daddy would cry inexplicably. muttering something that he didn't prepare sour food for his benefactor back then, and now he can only eat it by himself. It's weird, I don't even know what's wrong with him. ”
According to the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, when Master Lin betrayed Yang Kang, Xie Ling should have a beautiful girl in his belly. So Yang Kang must have told Master Lin that Xie Ling likes to eat something sour. But Master Lin didn't take it to heart at the time, and of course he didn't prepare it for Xie Ling.
So now Master Lin is remorseful.
Dragon Boat Festival sneered: "He also knows." ”
"What did you say?" Lin Jingjing asked.
"Nothing. Okay, I got it. Dragon Boat Festival said.
sent Lin Jing away, and the Dragon Boat Festival really made sugar and sour plums.
Li Yan's house has a complete set of ingredients, and soon the Dragon Boat Festival made two big pots, and Yang Erya is also pregnant, so she came over to eat some. Then put them in a food box during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Dragon Boat Festival, in fact, my mother can't wait to kill this bastard Master Lin." Xie Ling said.
"Mother, to be honest, I want to do this too, but in good conscience, this time, he angered the Xie family in order to protect his eldest brother and sister-in-law, otherwise, the Lin family dyeing workshop would not have become the Xie family's dyeing workshop so soon."
Now the Xie family has single-handedly manipulated the four steps of silkworm raising, silk reeling, cloth making and dyeing, and the technology of raising high-quality silkworms during the Dragon Boat Festival has also been taught to them, and the monopoly position of the Xie family has been further consolidated.
I'm afraid that in less than three years, the economy of the Great Ming Dynasty will also be controlled by the Xie family.
With real power in his hands and money, at that time, the Son of Heaven of the Great Ming Dynasty was just a fictitious thing, and the Xie family was the real manipulator.
If there is something in the world, it must be related to the Xie family.
"The Xie family will prosper like never before." Xie Ling agreed.
Today's family banquet of the Lin family is still very rich, Master Lin specially asked Lin An to buy all the things that Xie Ling's family likes to eat, Ni Chongyang was also invited over, when Xie Ling and Master Lin met, Master Lin's hands were shaking, and his eyes told Xie Ling that he had recognized them.
Xie Ling wanted to leave, and secretly said to the Dragon Boat Festival: "Dragon Boat Festival, Master Lin already knows that we are Yang Kang's family. ”
Dragon Boat Festival glanced at Master Lin, "Mother, don't bother with it." Let's see what clever he's up to. ”
"There are a little thin vegetables at home, please don't dislike it." Master Lin said, "Come, I'll give you a glass first." ”
Everyone raised their glasses.
After the hot soju was served, Mr. Lin asked everyone to eat hot dishes.
Xie Ling's family ate very happily, and the people of the Lin family didn't say anything other than chatting, it seemed that they were invited over this time just to contact their feelings.
"In fact, we are relatives and a family, but in the future, we must rely on each other closely, move around more, and never lose our harmony." Master Lin said while eating.
Xie Ling and Dragon Boat Festival didn't speak, and Meiya and Yang Zongyan both echoed one after another.
Then there was the drama invited by the Lin family, and they sang to them on the stage temporarily set up by the Lin family.
Dragon Boat Festival whispered: "Mother, Master Lin is really attentive this time, in order to please us, he also invited the opera troupe to sing." ”
"Who knows what kind of heart he has, he has always been a hypocrite." Xie Ling scoffed and dismissed.
"But I think this time, Master Lin is sincere." Dragon Boat Festival judged.
Now that the Lin family is already such a decaying scene, it seems that there is no need to wronged themselves to please anyone, unless they really need it.
The actor whimpered on stage, and the voice of the huqin was subdued, as if in life. Full of bitterness.
"Dragon Boat Festival girl, our lord wants you to come over." The voice in my ears suddenly came, and when I looked back at the Dragon Boat Festival, it was Uncle Zhang!
Xie Ling was already concentrating on listening to the drama at this time, and he didn't find that Uncle Zhang came to find the Dragon Boat Festival.
It turned out that the place where Master Lin was sitting was gone.
"Where is your lord?" Dragon Boat Festival asked.
"In the mourning hall. The lord has something to say to the girl alone. Uncle Zhang looked sincere.
The Dragon Boat Festival then walked over with Uncle Zhang.
Only Lin Anye and Ni Chongyang saw the Dragon Boat Festival leave, so one of them also followed from one direction.
There was a white tent hanging in the mourning hall, washed snow-white, but in the middle of the mourning hall was erected a childless monument.
Master Lin knelt down in front of the mourning hall, the whites of his eyes were even more cloudy from crying, his body trembled, and when he saw the Dragon Boat Festival come in, he knelt down to the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Master Lin, what are you doing here?" Dragon Boat Festival said coldly.
"Dragon Boat Festival girl, in fact, you already know that you are the daughter of General Yang. And I, once sorry for General Yang. The great benefactor I talked about before is General Yang Kang. Old Man Lin choked up.
is such a big person, and she is still crying like a child, and she is still a little soft-hearted when she sees the Dragon Boat Festival, but when she thinks that if it weren't for Master Lin to tell the truth, at least, she won't be separated from her father now.
Hatred rose from my heart again.
"What's the use of you talking about that now?" Yang Duanwu took a few steps forward and overturned the mourning hall, "My father will come back, none of you are allowed to curse him like this." ”
Uncle Zhang hurriedly said: "Actually, Dragon Boat Festival girl, you have always hated the wrong person. For many years, our lord has also felt uncomfortable. ”
"What do you mean?" Yang Duanwu was stunned.
Master Lin sighed, "It's been so long, but I still haven't forgotten that day, your father came to me with a carload of family members, hoping that I would save you." When I heard that, I immediately took you to a small country house that I bought at that time. However, after I went home, Master Xie happened to come to me. When my wife saw that I had blood on my body, she asked me why. I shouldn't, I shouldn't, tell my wife about you. But at the time, I really believed in my wife. Even now, I love my wife deeply. But after all, my wife is Master Xie's own sister, and as soon as she heard that you live in the countryside, she immediately went to tell Master Xie. I was very angry when I knew it, so I went over to stop it, and I even knelt down in front of Master Xie at that time. But Master Xie threatened me that if I didn't help him catch you, he would take my wife away. I hesitated, but in the end, I compromised. ”
It turns out that the truth of the year turned out to be like this.
The Dragon Boat Festival exhaled a long breath, "It turned out to be Mrs. Lin's secret." However, she is dead after all, and I, Yang Duanwu, can't blame a dead person. It's just that, as I expected, it was really the Xie family who framed us. ”
Uncle Zhang said: "Dragon Boat Festival girl, you believe it now." In that situation, what choice do you want our lord to have? ”
Yes, one is a beloved wife, the other is a benefactor, who in this world can balance two bowls of water?
Dragon Boat Festival bowed its head.
"Over the years, I have been in your father's dreams every night, I am sorry for him, but I am also very painful. I am only about the same age as your father, but now I am gray-haired, and I look like a man in my forties and fifties, but I look like an old man in my seventies and eighties. I'm afraid it's also related to excessive guilt. "What Master Lin said was very sincere.
"Dragon Boat Festival girl, if you still want to blame our master, I will tell you something again, you won't. After the lord knew your true identity, he treated Yang Zongyan as if he were his own son, and the lord even planned to write down the contract, the Lin family's grange property, Lin Anye and Yang Zongyan each divided half. Uncle Zhang said.
The Dragon Boat Festival is stunned, the Dragon Boat Festival is stunned, although the Lin family dyeing workshop is gone, in the mother's heart, the Dragon Boat Festival will never grow up as a child.
Dragon Boat Festival warmed his heart, "Okay, thank you mother." ”
Then she began to pack her bags.
She brought almost nothing except a few winter jackets and hats. With too much heavy loading, she always likes to be alone.
"You girl, why don't you bring more silver, how can you tie yourself up if you don't have enough silver when you're out of the house." Xie Ling said, took out his private money, and put it in the bag of the Dragon Boat Festival".
"Over the years, I have been in your father's dreams every night, I am sorry for him, but I am also very painful. I'm only about the same age as your father, but now I'm gray-haired, and I look like a man in my forties and fifties. "Who?" After all, Mrs. Xie Xu's IQ was not enough, and the second monk was puzzled by Xie Ce's words.
"Your Majesty," Xie Ce said, "the Emperor doesn't like anything more than marry his sister to anyone in our Xie family." Because, at the beginning, it was me and the Taifu who killed the emperor's father and brother, and now the emperor is witnessing the scene of rivers of blood. ”
Oh, yes! It must be the nightmare of the emperor's life, every time he sees Xie Ce, the emperor will definitely remember that scene. How could he be willing to marry the people of the Xie family and bring humiliation on himself?
Besides, if Xie Ce and the eldest princess are combined, I am afraid that the uninformed people will think that Xie Ce and the royal family have reconciled, which is a good thing for Xie Ce, but not a good thing for the royal family!
If the emperor hopes that one day, he can turn against Xie Ce, and there is no need for this.
"You mean, the emperor will do everything possible to obstruct it?" Mrs. Xie finally reacted.
"Don't underestimate the emperor's obstruction, if his mother persecuted him too hard, he simply released rumors, saying that we were forced to marry, which would be bad." Xie Ce said, "Mother, you don't want to give up your son for a meaningless marriage
