Chapter 21: The Return of the Second Room
Seeing the group walking towards the compound in a friendly manner, Lin Jue suddenly didn't know what to say.
The one who walked in the middle with a loving face must be Mrs. Lin, and the brocade-robed young man who stood on the right hand side and laughed with the old lady was probably her second uncle's youngest son, Lin Ke; And the girl wearing a honey-colored jacket standing a little bit away must be the granddaughter Lin Lang who is the most loved by the old lady in the mouth of the bird. She was followed by a handsome young man who looked to be in his early thirties, and the young man was accompanied by a gentle and beautiful young woman, who must have been her second uncle Lin Tian and her second aunt Mei. At this time, this group of people was walking towards the courtyard with a smile and a smile, and there was no place for Chen and Lin Yu who were accompanying them at all.
It's really a harmonious family, Lin Jue couldn't help sneering in his heart, if there was anyone who didn't know, he thought that their second room was the authentic master of this Lin Mansion.
"Why is the second sister still stunned? I've got something good for you this time, so why don't you come ......."
Lin Jue was watching coldly, the old lady and her party had already walked by, and Lin Lang, who was walking next to her, saw that she was still stunned, so he sneered.
"Although the third girl is young, she has a lot of heart, and this time I brought gifts to all of you......", before Lin Jue could speak, Mrs. Lin took the conversation, and her words couldn't hide her love for Lin Lang. But for Lin Jue who was standing next to him, he didn't even look at it.
Gift? It's not Zhonggong's money yet! Lin Jue secretly said in her heart, her handsome second uncle doesn't have any legitimate occupation, and the so-called Zhonggong's money is good, and it is not all earned by her father Lin Mi.
"What the old lady said is," Chen on the side agreed, "My sister is really blessed, Lang'er is so knowledgeable, unlike our family's Jue girl, she doesn't ask her to be sensible, I'm thankful that I don't get into trouble on weekdays." ”
"Where do I have any blessings, it's just that this girl has followed the old lady since she was a child, and it is all the credit of the old lady's upbringing", Mei was born in a scholarly family, and spoke softly, but there was no doubt between the words.
Lin Jue stood in place, watching the group go away, but there was no interest in his heart. I thought that I would be able to live a happy life again, but I didn't expect that even in this small Taibu Mansion, there is still an undercurrent. Thinking of the days of fighting and calculating in her previous life, she was really fed up!! Why don't you just find a dark and windy day and leave secretly? But as soon as this thought came out, Lin Jue's figure appeared in front of Lin Jue's eyes, thinking about his various concerns about himself these days, the original Miss Lin Er was dead, if she also left like this, her father would probably be sad, right?
But this Lin family, there is Nangong Yi waiting there in the front, there is an old lady and a group of people in the second room, and there is also the Chen family who find her trouble from time to time...... That's it, anyway, she doesn't have much money now, and she can't live a good life when she goes out, so stay in this Lin Mansion first and wait and see what happens.
*
The old lady and the second room were enjoying the family fun of mother's filial piety and teasing grandchildren in the main hall, and Lin Jue didn't want to disturb him at all. The weather at the beginning of March, although the sun was shining, was still a little cold, compared to looking at the group of people disgusting herself, Lin Jue preferred to go back to her warm incense pavilion to bask in the sun and practice calligraphy.
However, things in the world can't always go as people want, no matter how unwilling Lin Jue is in her heart, as the eldest daughter of the Lin Mansion, the old lady has just come back, so she has to be by the side to make a show, otherwise, in a few days, there will be rumors outside that she has no one in her eyes, and she is not filial to her elders.
In the main hall, Mrs. Lin was chatting with the group in the second room, and the doting between the words was like treating the bright moon in the sky, on the other hand, her attitude towards Lin Yu was thousands of miles different in comparison. Looking at such a scene, Lin Jue was a little speechless. Even if Lin Yu is a little squirming, he is not very angry, but it can be said that he is also the eldest grandson of the Lin family, and the whole family's expenses are still from the big house, the so-called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, Mrs. Lin completely ignored him on the bright side, not only ignored, but also full of disgust in the occasional sentence or two, is this really a grandmother?
There is also the Chen family, who is really arrogant and arrogant to Lin Jue on weekdays, but now he has no temper at all in front of the old lady and the second room? ! The old lady is the elder in the family, so it is okay to be filial, but in the second room of the younger generation, she also dare not take a breath. Lin Yu is the same, not only did he not dare to squeak at the old lady's disgust, but he also flattered Lin Lang and Lin Ke in every way, and he didn't dare to say a word against him. Are these two people sick?!
"The second daughter-in-law, I don't know how Brother Qiong is doing in the palace these days? I haven't seen ...... for a long time," asked Mrs. Lin as she gently held Mei's hand, her tone mixed with worry and pride.
The "Brother Qiong" in her mouth is Lin Tian's eldest son, the second male grandson of Mrs. Lin, Lin Qiong.
To say that the second room will be so arrogant, there is also a big aspect related to this Lin Qiong.
Lin Qiong is three years younger than Lin Yu, one month younger than Lin Jue, and is also thirteen years old this year, but her temperament is very different from Lin Yu's two siblings. He was very smart at a young age, he was literate at the age of three, he became a poet at the age of five, he just turned twelve years old last year, and he was on the list in the spring test, if it weren't for his young age, he would have gone to serve in the Hanlin Academy. However, the royal family never wastes talented people out of thin air, and the six princes are deeply loved by the emperor today, and they are similar in age to Lin Qiong, so they just need to accompany them to study, so they recruited Lin Qiong and the second son of the Chen family to the palace to accompany the six princes to study and practice martial arts.
At this time, the second room, which was originally favored by the old lady, became more unpopular in the Lin Mansion, and the old lady Lin not only didn't say much in her eyes, but also favored them openly and secretly. In fact, this can't all be blamed on Mrs. Lin's partiality, after all, people have to compare. On the one hand, there are Lin Yu's brothers and sisters who cause trouble every day, and on the other hand, Lin Qiong, who is full of poetry and books, and has an unlimited future, everyone knows how to choose. It's just that what Mrs. Lin did was too obvious.
"Don't worry, old lady, the old man has already sent a letter to the palace a few days ago, Brother Qiong knows that you are thinking about him, and he should be back later today", Mei Shi smiled and replied softly.
"That's good, that's good......", got a satisfactory answer, Mrs. Lin's face suddenly bloomed, but the moment she turned to the direction where the big house was sitting, her face changed, "I said that the eldest daughter-in-law, also learn more from the second daughter-in-law, usually don't only take care of yourself, Brother Yu is not young, and there is a second girl......"
"Yes, what the old lady said is ......", Chen bowed his head and responded, not daring to say a word more.
"What is it?" , Facing the Chen family who deliberately pretended to be well-behaved, Mrs. Lin didn't appreciate it at all, "Look at Brother Qiong...... Brother Yu, you are the eldest brother, don't just play anymore, you have to learn more, and the second girl, no matter what, you go out with the name of the Lin family, don't learn well, and when the time comes, it will affect ......others."
