Chapter 16: Eavesdropping
Lin Guangwen walked back while humming a minor tune.
"Didn't you see that Ye is back? Where have all the people died? He staggered and cursed, but no one answered.
"Whelan, Whelan!" He was in a good mood, so he did not lose his temper because of the negligence of his subordinates, and entered the house while shouting.
Zhu was lying on the bed, facing inward with his back to Lin Guangwen.
"Whelan, my good Whelan." Lin Guangwen smiled and hugged Zhu.
A strong smell of wine hit his nose, and Zhu was choked and coughed hard.
"Huilan, let me tell you, my uncle praised You'er a lot just now." Lin Guangwen said happily, "In the future, my uncle will do whatever I tell You'er to do, isn't it just a drink, don't worry about it, so as not to make my uncle unhappy, he rarely comes to our house." ”
Lin Guangwen's chatter only made Zhu feel nauseous, she sat up and stared coldly at Lin Guangwen's drunken face.
"Then you can yell at me like this in front of the juniors?"
Lin Guangwen's smile froze, and after a moment, he smiled flatteringly, "How can it, it's not for my uncle to see, my good Huilan, don't be angry." ”
Zhu, who usually eats this set, pushed Lin Guangwen away rudely this time, and sneered meanly, "What's the matter?" Are they going to trample me under their feet? ”
"How can it, it's not for You'er, expedient measures, expedient measures, hehe, for the husband, this will make amends for the mother." Lin Guangwen hugged Zhu even more tightly as he spoke.
"Talk, be honest." The frost on Zhu's face had already dissipated, and he slapped Lin Guangwen with a sneer before he straightened his face and said, "Let's discuss this matter first." ”
"What else is being discussed? Now our Lin Mansion is not just You'er? ”
Zhu slapped Lin Guangwen's restless hand away, and said with a straight face, "I'm serious with you, I don't plan to give my son to others, besides, even if I agree, the old lady will definitely not agree, so even if you want to please, you have to be a little measured." ”
Lin Guangwen scratched his head, "What if my uncle doesn't like You'er?" ”
"What can I do if I don't like it?" Zhu sneered, "There is no one in his Jiang family, is it possible that the sister-in-law can still be a clamshell?" ”
Under the window, Qiao Yihuan frowned when she heard it, until a harmonious voice came from inside, and she couldn't bear it anymore and walked away.
When Qiao Yihuan went back, he met Xiangyue at the gate of the courtyard.
"Your young lady also told you to eavesdrop?" Because of listening to a living palace, her tone was very unkind.
Xiangyue grimaced, "It's not my young lady, it's our young lady, and we'll do what the young lady tells us." So saying, he lifted his feet and went into the house.
Seeing that Xiangyue had taught herself a lesson, Qiao Yihuan couldn't cry or laugh and followed.
"Miss, what do you think the slave maid has heard?" Xiangyue said with great interest, "My aunt and grandmother don't talk about their grandsons, they don't even have a son!" ”
The weather is getting hotter, and Mrs. Feng in the small kitchen has always been lazy, Lin Yuan simply made her own sour plum soup, and handed over a bowl when listening to Xiangyue's hand words.
"Don't even have a son?" She whispered, and when she saw Qiao Yihuan also entering the house, she hurriedly greeted and handed over a bowl.
"What about the daughter?" She asked Kazuki.
Xiangyue drank the sour plum soup in one gulp, smashed her mouth and shook her head, "No, it is said that it is not the problem of the old aunt and grandmother, and the concubines in the entire general's mansion have nothing to do." She lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "It seems that the old aunt was secretly injured on the battlefield when he was young!" No...... It's inhumane! ”
Lin Yuan spit out the sour plum soup in her mouth with a puff.
Xianghe reached out and was about to twist Xiangyue's face.
"Who are you talking about?" Lin Yuan took a while to recover and said strangely.
"That's what the cousin said with my aunt and grandmother." Xiangyue hid behind Lin Yuan, stuck out her tongue at Xianghe, and replied while provoking Xianghe.
Xianghe was suddenly annoyed, "This young master obviously saw that Xiangyue was Miss's maid during lunch, and he said this to Xiangyue, what a frivolity!" ”
"People mean well." Lin Yuan smiled and handed Xianghe a bowl of sour plum soup, "Hum, drink another bowl, don't be angry." As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Yihuan, her face was still a little embarrassed, and asked, "Mama Qiao, what news do you have?" ”
Qiao Yihuan's originally unhappy mood was alleviated a lot by Xiangyue, and he calmly told the overheard conversation.
"I didn't think much about it at first, but when I heard Xiangyue say this just now, I understood a little." Qiao Yihuan sighed, "You third uncle and third aunt are really ......" She shook her head and didn't say any more, not wanting Lin Yuan to be embarrassed because she was talking about the elders of the Lin Mansion.
"Miss, what do you think the third master and the third wife are fighting?" Xianghe was puzzled.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "No matter what their idea is, it is always the idea of their aunt and grandmother, and my aunt and grandmother are not easy to fool," she said, she paused and hesitated, "But, how do I feel that something is wrong with this." ”
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Let me think about it." Lin Yuan waved his hand.
Lin Yuan muttered to herself, and after a while, she raised her face and asked, "The night my mother fell into the well, why didn't my father know?" Where did he go? ”
Xianghe Xiangyue glanced at each other, and Xianghe replied, "Miss, have you forgotten?" The old man stayed in Yangzhou that night and rushed back the next day. After speaking, she was afraid that Lin Yuan's amnesia would be revealed, and added, "During that time, Miss always couldn't sleep well at night, so Mrs. came to sleep with Miss, and Mrs. also rested in our courtyard that night." ”
"What a coincidence." Lin Yuan muttered unconsciously, still frowning and thinking.
"Miss, don't worry too much, people are watching the sky, some people will eventually show their feet, besides, the master may find something." Xianghe persuaded softly.
……
The wood-colored bottom black characters, the simple three-character "Tianjiao Courtyard", Ji Zongyu hung a consistent chuckle, raised his face and looked at the plaque above.
Raising his feet, he saw the mother-in-law guarding the door dozing under the tree, Ji Zongyu shook his head at the people around him, and walked in quietly.
"Young master, the old slave will say hello first?" Mama Lin glanced at the door of Lin Yuan's courtyard and there was no one guarding the door, and asked Ji Zongyu for instructions. Her face was as usual, and she didn't show disdain for the lack of someone guarding the door. She only sighed in her heart that Mrs. Lin went too early.
Ji Zongyu bowed.
"Is Miss Lin Si here? The old slave is Mama Lin from Jiangfu, and she was ordered by our old lady to send some medicinal herbs. ”
Lin Yuan was stunned and hurriedly stood up, but was stopped by Xianghe.
"Miss, you are Miss, you are still like that to Mama Li, how can you surrender your identity to Mama in Punfu?" Xianghe whispered very lightly. She didn't dare to think about it or say more, she found that Miss not only had amnesia, but even forgot the rules, although she also liked Miss who treated them like sisters now.
Lin Yuan sat down again, but moved unnaturally, only to watch Xianghe go out in response.
