Chapter 185: Adopted Daughter Isn't Worrying
Zhou Yanxi smiled slightly after hearing this, her eyes were a little deep, although Lin Mei said so, but if she added fuel to the fire in the future, the consequences would be out of control......
"By the way, Yan Ji, when did Master Hou say we will go to Beijing?" When the time comes...... It's good to choose a good time to take the opportunity to run away with your mother......
Lin Mei secretly had a good calculation, but she didn't know if Mrs. Lin would buy it.
Zhou Yanxi was used to being a good person, so she replied with a chuckle, "Sister, why don't you call Dad...... You don't know how long your father-in-law has been waiting for your 'father', if you continue like this, I'm afraid that your father-in-law will be sad...... When the time comes, it will really outweigh the losses. ”
Her words were a metaphor for Lin Mei not to be too pretentious, thinking that An Yuanhou could act arbitrarily if she took a fancy to her, after all, An Yuanhou could be good to Lin Mei, and he could also knock Lin Mei down from the sky, this was just his words.
Lin Mei thought that Zhou Yanxi was persuading herself, so she sighed and said in a lamented voice, "Yan Yan, can we not mention this?" Now I have a headache with this......"
Of course, Zhou Yanji had to think about her only "sister", so she smiled and said, "Okay, just follow my sister's words...... My sister knows a little bit about this, for so many years, my stepmother and sister have been exiled, and my stepfather often says something considerate to me......"
These words were meant to show off, but Lin Mei didn't take An Yuanhou to heart at all, so let alone be jealous?
"I can't figure it out, he has such a caring and gentle daughter as you. Why do you want to be rare with me, an illiterate mountain village girl? Lin Mei frowned and said suspiciously, she didn't know that she had inadvertently poked Zhou Yanxi's lung tube with her words.
“……”
Zhou Yanxi only felt a mouthful of old blood choked in her throat, but she forced herself to take a deep breath. Forced to calm down, "My father-in-law told me that Linshan County has been very unpeaceful recently, although there are many rights and wrongs in the capital, but it is better to return to Beijing early to avoid the limelight, after all, it is not a good thing that the three princes are gathered here now." And recently, the emperor's health has deteriorated, so the other princes are secretly plotting in private, and our Anyuan Marquis Mansion has always been impartial. Standing in the middle, so it's better to leave here early. ”
"You mean...... The emperor is dying? Although Zhou Yanji's words were very vague, Lin Mei still heard such a meaning.
“…… Sister! Don't talk nonsense! Zhou Yanxi was a little anxious, why didn't Lin Mei have such a long brain. It's just plain said. If it is heard by someone with a heart, then wouldn't they all be affected by Lin Mei?
Lin Mei felt a little aggrieved, looked at Zhou Yanxi with a pouted mouth, and said, "But, isn't that what you mean in your words?" Why is it okay to say it secretly, but not to say it explicitly? ”
Zhou Yanxi looked at Lin Mei's innocent and innocent appearance, although she was a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't hate her as much as before. Therefore, after sighing and calming down, he whispered. "Sister, in the future, you can only say secret things about this kind of thing, if anyone dares to say it openly like this, it will be disrespectful and will be killed!"
She said so much to Lin Mei, and she didn't want to be caught by someone with a heart as soon as she entered the capital, after all, the two of them were daughters from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, if what she said was wrong, it would affect the entire Marquis of Anyuan's mansion to be punished by the nine clans! She is still so young now, but she doesn't want to lose her head just because of Lin Mei's "unintentional mistake", then she will be wronged!
Lin Mei listened to Zhou Yanxi's words so much, and at the end she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "You have a lot of rules in the capital...... Forget it, I'll listen to you, you can go on......"
Seeing Lin Mei's sullen appearance, Zhou Yanji felt that she owed her, so she softened her voice and comforted, "Sister, a powerful family like us has enjoyed such great wealth, so we have to bear such a big risk...... Even if he is Shu Dangjia, he is the emperor's cousin and nephew, and he is also a companion of the king like a tiger......"
Lin Mei nodded as she listened, no one had ever told her about these things before, but now she heard it very fresh, and she said with feeling, "In a place like ours, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how carefree it is......"
Zhou Yanji was a little disdainful when she heard this, the corners of her mouth were slightly downward, and she said, "Sister...... Don't talk about this, do you know how long the ancestors in the mansion have been looking forward to you? Now I've finally got you...... There are many brothers in the house, one is more noisy than the other, the eldest brother has already married a wife, and the children are three or four years old, but he is a male baby! And the youngest fourteenth brother is still in infancy...... The ancestor was looking for a considerate speaker, but he couldn't find it, but he was worried......"
Lin Mei was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she was even more ashamed of her cheap father, at this rate, almost one a year...... Now even the grandson is hugged, and you still want her and her mother to go back? Hum! No way! She doesn't want her mother to recognize so many cheap sons!
"This ...... There are so many ...... in the house Childe, why can't the ancestor find someone to speak? And also...... Yan Xi, you are so gentle and considerate, the ancestor should like you very much......"
Lin Mei's words poked Zhou Yanxi's heart again, and she was so choked that she could barely speak......
“…… Sister, there are indeed many grandchildren under the feet of the ancestors, but how can boys be so intimate as girls? As for me...... Yan Xi is just an orphan girl, and she has no blood relationship with the Hou Mansion at all, and it is already a great blessing for the Hou Ye to take Yan Ji in, and Yan Ji doesn't dare to ask for anything else......"
Zhou Yanji's words were not aggrieved, but she didn't wipe her tears and cry sadly.
Lin Mei frowned and looked at Zhou Yanxi's sad appearance, she was a little embarrassed, and finally felt that she had been poking other people's lung tubes, so she lowered her head and coughed a few times, pretending to be generous, "It's okay, you are so gentle and virtuous, Mrs. Zhou will find out your good one day, Yan Xi, everyone has to look away, this kind of thing doesn't matter, right?" She didn't like us. We don't have to go forward, do we? ”
Zhou Yanji pursed the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled, half-covering her face and said, "My sister really has a witty word." After listening to my sister's words, my sister's heart is indeed a lot more comfortable......"
Just between the gossip of the two, the carriage also slowly arrived at the courtyard of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and Mrs. Lin had already changed into new clothes and greeted Marquis An Yuanhou by the door, no, it should be said that it was Lin Mei & Just because when Marquis An Yuan got off the horse and looked over, Mrs. Lin turned her head and looked at Lin Mei gently. He asked softly, "Did Mei'er have a good time along the way?" That's right...... Why didn't Master Shu come back with you? ”
Lin Mei was stunned and looked at a gentle temperament, the same posture as the official wives she had seen in the capital. I didn't react for a while.
Zhou Yanji obviously knows a lot of faces, and after eating a few secret losses from Mrs. Lin, she also knows that she is secretly sharp, so she leaned over slightly with a smile on her face and bowed. The voice was sweet. "Mother......
An Yuanhou still had some resentment, why did Lin Matchmaker ignore Lin Mei and didn't even look at herself, but now after listening to Zhou Yanxi's call, she only felt that her life was worth it, and she had sons, daughters and wives, although the sons were not born to wives, but they couldn't stand each other being more promising, and those aunts were also peaceful. In the future, if the family is safe, it will be enough for the family to live with Heman......
Mrs. Lin's face was slightly cold. But in front of An Yuanhou, it was not easy to attack, so he also chuckled and took Zhou Yan's hand, and said intimately, "It's still ...... you."
After that, he glanced up at Lin Mei, and his tone was full of disgust, "Mei'er, you can learn more from Xi'er in the future, you see how gentle Dong Li is, don't look like a hairy kid anymore......"
Lin Mei couldn't help but shudder when she heard her mother's words, why did this sound cautious? And also...... In the past, Lin Mei would only get angry and yell at Lin Mei directly, how could she be so gentle now?
"Hey, Wanrong, I think our family's Wan'er has a very good temperament, which is completely different from the young ladies of other families in the capital, not delicate and pretentious at all, and even the kid of the Shu family has a soft spot for our Wan'er, you know, the kid of the Shu family has pushed the marriage of Miss Liu, the daughter of the county lord of Qinglai, but only our family's Wan'er has blue eyes...... The kid of the Shu family is also the emperor's cousin, and he has a good relationship with the prince and King Yu, and he is a world-famous imperial businessman, this marriage is ...... Not bad. ”
An Yuanhou nodded as he spoke, with a satisfied expression, completely thinking that it was his own credit, having such a flower-like daughter, and such a capable and outstanding son-in-law.
Mrs. Lin became worse the more she listened, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did Master Hou say just now...... The county lord of Qinglai also fell in love with Shu Gongzi, and wanted to marry the Shu family? "This ...... Not good news!
"That's right, Wanrong...... What's wrong with you? An Yuanhou saw that Mrs. Lin's face was pale, and he hurriedly walked over to help her, his face full of worry.
Lin Mei just silently watched An Yuanhou holding her mother's pig's trotters, silent.
"It's nothing......" Mrs. Lin shook her head, with a slight bitterness on her face, as if she remembered some extremely unpleasant past, "By the way, Mei'er, you were captured by thieves before, I thought it was Feng Tianbao's hand, so I imprisoned him in the mansion, and now that you have returned safely, I also released him, and gave him some silver taels to live in, in the future, you can rest assured......"
Lin Mei nodded, walked over and put her hand on Mrs. Lin's hand, and shook off Marquis Anyuan's hand at once, covering her hand on Mrs. Lin's hand, "Mother, it's good if you let him go, after all, he is innocent......"
Mrs. Lin also looked at An Yuanhou, who was injured by her daughter's hand, turned her head lightly, pretended not to see the expression on his face, and said happily with Lin Meiqi, "Then let's go in first...... By the way, isn't there still a Miss Wang in our house? will leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow, I wonder where Mei'er has thought of placing her? ”
Lin Mei walked to the house with Mrs. Lin and said with a smile, "Mother, I have already thought about where to send her, but it's just ...... Although it will break Yufei's heart, it can also make her remember the bad things Xiao Zihuan has done before, and she is an untrustworthy person......"
"Yufei? This...... What does it have to do with Yufei? Mrs. Lin frowned, a little puzzled.
Obviously, Miss Wang didn't know about the fact that Miss Wang married Xiao Zihuan and was divorced, but it was also said that in the past, at that time, Lin Matchmaker didn't know where to help people be matchmakers, and after she came back, she only faintly heard some rumors, that is, Miss Wang was sent to the nunnery by her family, but as for other things, Lin Matchmaker really didn't know.
Lin Mei saw that Mrs. Lin didn't know what had happened at the beginning, so she took Mrs. Lin's hand and told her everything that happened a few months ago, and finally sighed, "Mother, you all say that I am a little matchmaker, but how do I think Yufei and Lin Shi are ...... at all?" Are you harmed by me......"
Seeing Lin Mei's depressed face, Mrs. Lin was also a little distressed, so she held her hand tightly and pulled her directly into her room.
An Yuanhou watched Mrs. Lin close the door directly in front of him like this, leaving him outside the door and Zhou Yanxiao looking at each other, and his old face almost couldn't hang up.
"Daddy...... Mother, this is ......" Zhou Yanxi hesitated to look at the door of the wood carving, and then looked at An Yuanhou.
Marquis An Yuan blushed with an old face, stroked his beard and coughed a few times, and pretended to say, "Your mother and your sister have some private things to say, so let's not follow up, you can go down to rest first, as for the matter of King Yu's side, ......"
Zhou Yanji saw that An Yuanhou finally mentioned this matter, and she was also a little anxious, and hurriedly defended herself, "Dad, don't you even believe your daughter?" ”
"Sister, my father naturally believes in you, but in the future, we should be less involved in the affairs of the heavenly family in this palace...... Especially those who are related to the Heavenly Family, don't make friends easily. An Yuanhou sighed, obviously conveying his life experience to Zhou Yanxi.
Zhou Yanxi immediately nodded, and said obediently, "Sister's child must follow her father's teachings, and she will not get involved in these things again." ”
An Yuanhou looked at Zhou Yanxi's well-behaved reaction with satisfaction, his face was still a little sad, and he sighed, "Xi'er, your sister and your mother have been lost outside for so many years, and their feelings for me are really weak, especially your sister, who refuses to even call me father...... It's really sad for me, but these days, Wan'er is getting along with you pretty well, so ......"
"Daddy, please rest assured, my sister and we are all family, and Ji'er promises to make my sister change her mind." Zhou Yanxi deserves to be the confidant of Marquis An Yuan, and immediately knew what he meant. (To be continued.) )
