The sun has not yet set, and the weather in late spring and early summer is already a little warm, but everyone's faces in the flower hall are cold.

Jin Min, the third old man, is furious. He was waiting with several colleagues from the household department to meet the twelve princes under the color platform on the shore, but he didn't expect the news that a beautiful girl fell into the water, and he didn't expect that it was his own daughter who fell into the water.

Directly opposite the Jin family's painting boat, there was a group of famous sons' boats, and he even heard a few wives saying: I don't know which pair of mandarin ducks will be fulfilled this time.

When did the daughter of the Jin family become like this, she was poked in the back by others, as if the Jin family wanted to marry her daughter by this kind of trick.

Several pastel tea cups fell to the ground and were smashed, Song Xiuzhu was still wearing the sandalwood sprinkled flower Ruyi skirt she wore on the painting boat, and she hadn't had time to change her clothes since she came back from the boat.

Jin Min has always been elegant and rarely loses his temper, but at this moment, Song Xiuzhu saw his temples suddenly jumping, and knew that he was really angry.

"Third master, this can't all be blamed on Sister Yuan'er, she went to the deck with Linglong at that time, and somehow, she fell into the river, but Linglong was fine. Besides, at that time, the concubine could see clearly, Brother Feng was on the opposite boat, and when she saw someone jumping down to save people, the concubine thought it was Brother Feng. ”

Another tea cup was thrown over, and it shattered at Song Xiuzhu's feet, scaring Song Xiuzhu so much that she almost fell, and her body staggered, and the maid Liuxiang hurriedly supported her.

Fang was in such a hurry, she actually committed a big taboo, although the third master doted on her, he couldn't hear her say that Jin Zifeng was not good.

"Third master, it's not that Brother Feng didn't save Sister Yuan'er, he was more than ten zhang away at that time, where can I see the scene here, don't blame him, if you want to blame Sister Yuan'er doesn't know the severity, she doesn't listen to dissuasion and follows Linglong to the deck."

Jin Min never cared about these things in the house, but today Jin Yuan made a fool of himself in public and was rescued by a man, so he was furious, and when he heard Song Xiuzhu mention that Jin Yuan was on deck with Linglong, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Jin Min instructed Mama Li, who was standing at the door and watching, "You go and call Miss Five." ”

Mama Li hurriedly agreed to withdraw, Song Xiuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Jin Min really suspected Linglong.

After a short time, Linglong was brought by Mama Li. She wore a half-new plain forged jacket, a moon-white threaded skirt, no fat powder, and a plain little face that was white and flawless.

"Sister Long, why did she fall into the river when you went on the deck with Sister Yuan?" Jin Min's face was calm, and his voice was a little heavy.

Linglong glanced at her father, and there was no trace of waves in her big black and white eyes: "The third sister said that the dragon boat was over, and she pulled me out to see, and a child squeezed over, and her maid came to pull it, and somehow the third sister fell into the river, and I didn't see it clearly." ”

"You didn't see clearly", Song Xiuzhu sneered, "You were with her, but you said you didn't see clearly when she fell into the river, so why did someone squeeze over and it wasn't you who fell?" ”

Linglong turned around, looked at Song Xiuzhu quietly, and said word by word: "Linglong doesn't know why it wasn't me who fell into the river, but Linglong heard that it was the second master of the Xu family who rescued the third sister." Linglong would rather be the one who fell into the water, and I was the one who was rescued by the second master of the Xu family, which saved the innocence of the third sister and the reputation of the Jin family. ”

But whenever such a thing happens, the innocence of the daughter's family will be gone. But if the man is willing to marry, that's fine.

But Xu Tingshen and Linglong have already had a marriage contract, and Jin Yuan acted in such a play, but it seemed to be a horizontal insertion, and even Jin Min couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in his heart, there should be something wrong with this matter.

Of course, Song Xiuzhu knew that her daughter didn't have this brain, she asked Mulan, this stupid girl just wanted Linglong to fall into the water in public, and then instigated the boat on the boat to go into the water to save people, in this way, in front of Xu Tingshen, Linglong's innocence and girlfriend copy will be gone, and a scholarly family like the Xu family will not want Linglong anymore.

I don't know how it happened, this matter has become like this, no matter how she, a mother, explains it to her daughter, it seems that this matter is also Jin Yuan deliberately made such a ridiculous thing in order to rob her sister's marriage. I'm afraid that in less than three days, the whole capital will be spread.

Linglong's eyelids are half-drooping, and her butterfly-like eyelashes reflect a reflection, like a peaceful lake in spring.

"The daughter's family affairs are set by her parents, and she can't do it herself, and when something like this happens, it's all up to her father, and the daughter obeys her father's arrangement."

Jin Min stroked the corners of his forehead, only to feel extremely annoyed, he waved his hand at Linglong: "You go back first, there is nothing for you here." ”

Linglong gave her father a blessing, and then walked out backwards, but when she left, she seemed to glance at Song Xiuzhu intentionally or unintentionally, and her eyes were full of ridicule.

If you want it, I will fulfill you, and I am not rare anyway.

Back in his small courtyard, Xingyu plugged in the door and entered the house with Miss, and then said hurriedly: "Miss, if the third master really lets the third lady marry Xu Erye, then how can it be good." ”

Linglong smiled faintly, looked at her little hands like spring onions, and said softly: "I don't care about that family business, let her marry if she wants to marry, I just hope that my mother's illness will get better, and I don't bother to care about other things." ”

Xingyu had seen Xu Tingshen in private, that Second Master Xu was gentle and elegant, and he seemed to be a humble gentleman, Xingyu was still happy for Miss in her heart, but now that she saw that Miss had let Second Master Xu out, she was very unwilling.

"Miss, why don't you tell the third master, the third lady didn't have a good intention to pull you to the deck, and the maid also saw it at that time, and it was she who took the young lady's hand and squeezed it to the front."

Xingyu didn't see the rest clearly, because the qiē came too quickly. Just when Linglong's feet slipped and Jin Yuan took the opportunity to let go, Jin Yuan suddenly tripped under her feet, and before Linglong fell, she didn't take the first step into the river.

Linglong made a grimace at Xingyu, she didn't suffer, it wasn't her who fell into the water and lost face, as for this family affair, she didn't feel disgusted at first, after all, it was set for her by her mother. But since she learned that her brother transferred her embroidered things to Xu Tingshen, she didn't even have a good impression of Xu Tingshen.

Even if she sued her father about Jin Yuan framing her, it would be useless, her father would not believe it, so it was better to let it be. She guessed that her father must have decided that Jin Yuan had fallen into the water on purpose, and thought that it was for the Xu family's family affairs.

When Xu Tingshen came to the Jin family that day, Song Xiuzhu was smart enough to let Jin Yuan also come to meet the guests, and Master Jin San was not stupid, even if he didn't care about it that day, with today's events, he was afraid that he would have guessed the thoughts of the mother and daughter.

Let them be.

Linglong picked up the embroidered bandage and began to embroider the thin silk socks for her mother to wear in the summer, only Xingyu was still worried that her own young lady was not worth it, and Xu Erye was such a good family matter, so she gave it to the third lady in vain, and she was angry when she thought about it.
