Chapter 14: The Long House
(PS: New book period, ask for recommendation and collection!) )
After two days of finishing Zhang's affairs, Linglong made time to go to the long room to visit the old lady of the long house.
The long house still lives in the place where the patriarch of the old mansion of the Li Mansion should live, which was arranged by Li Zhuoran. At the beginning, when Li Zhuoran became the patriarch, he made a statement, and no matter who is the patriarch in the future, the patriarch's house is still inhabited by the long house.
It is an ancient mansion where the patriarchs have lived in the past.
Gray tiles and white walls and tall gatehouses, the walls of the gatehouse have delicate carvings, and the carvings on the roof are even more delicate and beautiful.
Linglong followed her mother-in-law into the courtyard, on both sides of which were the verandahs of the hand, among which was the hall, and there was a large insert screen of red sandalwood shelf marble.
Turning the interstitial screen, there are three small halls, and behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back. The five upper rooms in the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, and the wings of the verandah through the mountains on both sides are hung with birds and birds such as parrots and thrushes.
Seeing Linglong coming, a maid hurriedly opened the curtain and saluted her with a smile.
A qiē is so well-behaved.
Linglong nodded secretly and walked in with a smile.
The old lady of the long room was beckoning to her kindly, and beside her, there was a woman who smiled at her kindly when she saw Linglong walking in.
Linglong knew that this must be her sister-in-law Mo.
When Li Xiaoran suddenly became stupid, he was already fifteen years old, and he had already married Mo at that time.
Mo's family originally wanted to quit this family business, and the old lady of the long house had already agreed, but her son was already stupid, but she wanted to hurt other people's daughters.
Who knows that Mo Shi does not agree, she must marry, if she does not marry, she would rather be a green lantern ancient Buddha for a lifetime.
The Mo family had no choice but to agree.
Mo Shi got married like this, and after marrying it, he was also very good to Li Xiaoran, and he didn't dislike him because he was stupid, and he was also very filial to the old lady of the long house, and he won the hearts of the people in the Li Mansion at once.
Linglong stepped forward to greet the old lady and Mo Shi, and was pulled by the old lady to sit down.
"Look at the recovery in the past few days, there is blood on my face, which proves that Dr. Lin's medicine is still effective." The old lady of the long house said with care, "It's just that you can't stop drinking because you are bitter, you have to get better quickly, and Zhuo Ran will feel at ease." ”
"Yes, Linglong doesn't dare to be naughty anymore." Linglong nodded, and lowered her head a little ashamedly.
The predecessor was because he was disgusted with the bitterness of the medicine, so he didn't want to drink the medicine at the beginning, and when he wanted to drink it later, there was no medicine, which was why he fell victim to Duan's poisonous hand.
So at this time, the old lady of the long house had to remind Linglong again and again not to do anything more.
"The second master doesn't know what the situation is now?" Linglong saw that the old lady of the long room mentioned Li Zhuoran, and she went on with her words.
Sure enough, after finishing speaking, I saw that the old lady of the long house was also stunned, but in an instant, things turned around, "The things on this battlefield, there are things that we women understand, presumably because we can't get away from the war these days." ”
Linglong nodded, and listened to Mother Tong say that Li Zhuoran also had no news for several months, so after listening to the words of the old lady of the long house, Linglong also put her heart down.
In fact, for facing Li Zhuoran, Linglong is not mentally prepared for this.
Li Zhuoran is the most familiar with his predecessor, what would he do if he found out that he was not his predecessor?
The worst thing is that he and his predecessor are husband and wife, and if he comes back, Linglong will naturally fulfill his obligations as a wife.
This......
Linglong feels a headache every time she thinks about this.
So she was very satisfied with the answer of the old lady of the long house, she was now like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, and she could hide for a few days.
"Which sister are you?"
While the room was talking and laughing, a man came in from outside, he ran in like a treasure, stopped when he was near, stared at Linglong curiously and asked.
"This is not your sister, this is Brother Zhuo's daughter-in-law, you have to call her brother and sister." The old lady of the long house explained to Li Xiaoran lovingly.
"That's still my sister." Li Xiaoran pouted and said with a smile, "This is a new dim sum from Dexing Building, I bought it back for my mother and daughter-in-law to taste, and now I have a younger sister, and then I will give it to my sister?" ”
"Look, my sister is almost drooling." Li Xiaoran looked at Linglong staring at him, and handed her the pastry box in his hand, "Oh, let's eat it for you, poor people, they are all hungry and thin." ”
His eyes were clear, and Linglong smiled at him embarrassedly.
"My sister smiles so beautifully, so she has to smile often." Li Xiaoran saw Linglong smiling and revealing two cute tiger teeth, and also smiled sweetly at her.
Linglong was stunned there, it seemed that Li Xiaoran remembered her predecessor again at this time.
"Your eldest brother loves you the most on weekdays." The old lady of the long room looked at her son and said with a relieved smile, "It's just that you rarely came to the long room before, but once you come, he will have to talk about it for a long time." ”
In the past, Linglong listened to Duan's words very much, and Duan's didn't like Linglong to come to the long room, unless Linglong asked for peace on the fifteenth day of the month, she never came to the long room at other times.
But the strange thing is that although Li Xiaoran may not be able to recognize her every time she comes, she likes Linglong every time.
"My mother eats, and your daughter-in-law eats too." Li Xiaoran took out the pastry and gave it to the old lady of the long house and Mo Shi first, and handed the last piece to Linglong very generously.
His expression was very proud, and his face was full of 'Hurry up and praise me'.
"Thank you, big brother, it's delicious." Linglong took a bite of the snack and said with a smile.
But then again, this dim sum is really ordinary, and it's far from the worries I ate in my previous life.
Maybe I can open a dim sum shop in the future, Linglong thought to herself.
Here Linglong is chatting with the old lady in the long room, and over there Zhang is also chatting with his henchman Chuntao, "Have you found out the people who have entered and left my room in the past few days?" ”
Zhang's heart has relaxed after taking this fetal medicine in the past two days, and the child in his belly is also very cooperative, the morning sickness at first is much lighter, and now he can eat, and his complexion has recovered a lot, but he still needs to lie in bed to recuperate.
The child is fine, but if the main messenger behind this scene does not find out, she will not be at ease for a day.
On this day, while he was still in good spirits, he asked about Chun Tao's investigation.
Chun Tao's face was a little bad, "Young grandma, it's really not easy for you to come here, and now that the fourth master hasn't come back, you have to think more about yourself and the child in your belly." ”
"Come on, I'm thinking about it now, and nothing is as important as the child in my belly." Zhang smiled, "Besides, what's happened in the past few days?" ”
She's used to it.
"That...... Cui'er met Liu Yan on the way here. ”
