Chapter 14: Irony

The old lady was left to dry, her face a little ugly.

Lin Yuan was hugged by her aunt and grandmother, a little dumbfounded.

"Good boy, how big is your body?" The old aunt wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a distressed face, "Your aunt and grandmother came this time to bring some qi-replenishing herbs and our Mobei's special food, look at your thin arms and legs, you must be qi deficiency and hungry, I will pick some out and let people move to your courtyard when I go back." ”

The old aunt and grandmother were so enthusiastic for no reason, and Lin Yuan twisted her body uncomfortably.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

The old aunt and grandmother took the opportunity to let go of Lin Yuan, but took her hand and patted it, and said with a smile, "What a sensible and good boy." ”

The old lady's face turned black at some point.

"This kid is unblessed, how many good herbs and good meals are still so weak, Baozhu, you bother."

"Sister-in-law, what you say is out of sight." The old aunt and grandmother didn't turn her face to look at the old lady until the old lady called her name, and said angrily, "What's the trouble about this, besides, this child is a young lady from our Lin Mansion, my niece and granddaughter, that is a blessed one." ”

The old lady smiled dryly.

"It's my aunt's love." Zhu stepped forward and played a round, "Aunt must be tired all the way, your mother used to live in the Treasure Pavilion and asked someone to clean it every day, the same as before, aunt will go and settle down first?" ”

"You are the third family, you lead the way." The old aunt and grandmother bowed their heads, but they didn't let go of Lin Yuan's hand, and they didn't mean to thank the old lady at all.

Zhu saluted, and then glanced at the maid beside him, who hurriedly trotted to the treasure pavilion first, while Zhu led the way with the old lady in front.

"Look at this kid and I are destined, and the clothes are all of the same color." The old aunt and grandmother held Lin Yuan all the way, talking as they walked, and their faces showed Qi on their faces as they spoke, "At your age like a flower, it's just a matter of wearing it like this during the filial piety period, and you have to learn from your sister when you get out of the filial piety period, that's what you should wear at your age." The old aunt and grandmother pointed to Lin Yan who was walking with Lin Na as she spoke.

When the second wife Lin died, Lin Yuan had to keep filial piety for three years, and the second wife Lin was the second aunt of Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan also had to keep filial piety for her for one year. In addition to the old lady, the most flamboyant person present was Lin Yan, who was dressed in new pink clothes.

Lin Yan probably hadn't heard the accusation in the old aunt's words yet, and didn't feel that it was inappropriate, she still smiled and saluted the old aunt and grandmother, "You'er has saluted my aunt and grandmother, and my aunt and grandmother are blessed." ”

The old aunt raised her eyelids and said lightly, "It's a clever one." ”

Lin Yan also heard the sarcasm in the old aunt's tone at this time, her face was full of grievances, and she was very puzzled why the old aunt and grandmother didn't treat her as soon as they met.

Lin Yuan's face was strange, and she secretly glanced at the old lady who walked in front, and she could see the old lady full of anger just by her back, muttering in her heart, saying that the relationship between her sister-in-law and sister-in-law was not very good, I am afraid it would be light. This aunt and grandmother have sarcastically mocked the old lady with various excuses since they met, first through herself, saying that the old lady was harsh on her granddaughter who did not give medicinal herbs and did not give her, and then through Lin Yan, saying that the old lady wore gold and silver despite the fact that her daughter-in-law had just passed away, and the old lady could only eat coptis dumb and suffer it alive.

It's really exciting.

Thinking like this, Lin Yuan is not so disgusted by the affection of her aunt and grandmother.

"Auntie and grandmother taught me a lesson." She bowed her head and said obediently.

The old aunt and grandmother nodded in satisfaction.

When they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, the subordinates greeted the gate of the courtyard early, and greeted each other with a salute, which frightened Lin Yuan with a strong momentum.

The old aunt and grandmother were the ladies in the general's mansion, and they raised their feet into the house without raising their eyelids, and sat down on the top without giving the old lady the slightest face.

The old lady's chest obviously rose and fell twice before she held back her unhappiness, sneered and sat down on the left hand side of the old aunt and grandmother.

"This is the Tang clan of the old family, this is the Zhu clan of the old third family, and this is my golden grandson Lin Tianyou." The old lady somehow introduced to the old aunt and grandmother with a proud face, "This is Lin Yan, the third girl of the old family, her husband's family will come back to the door for you today in Jinling, Lin Yuan of the second family, you know, those two are Lin Na Lin Yan of the third family." ”

The old aunt's face did not change, and she did not say anything to sarcastically mock the old lady for the first time, "Sister-in-law, you are still the best blessed." ”

"It's also the competition of the old three families." The old lady said politely but proudly.

The old aunt and grandmother couldn't see the old lady like that, and with a wave of her hand, the grandmother behind her took out a bag of things.

"It's for a few of you kids, take it all."

The two old ladies played a Zen machine, and Lin Yuan, who came to the Lin Mansion halfway, heard it in a fog, but she also saw some clues, it is estimated that the old aunt and grandmother have no grandchildren under their knees, otherwise they would not let the old lady who has only one male grandson be so proud.

Lin Yuan followed behind Lin Tianyou, and there were several sisters standing beside her, and several of them saluted and thanked them and accepted the gifts.

The old lady consciously regained her face, and she kept a smile on her face.

"Baozhu, you rest first, I'll go to Zhang Luo first, and I'll hold a reception banquet for you and your brother-in-law in the front yard later."

The old lady was leaving, and the others naturally followed.

It wasn't until lunch that Lin Yuan secretly looked at Jiang Xingping, the general of Zhenbei, who was married to her aunt and grandmother, behind the screen. Jiang Xingping was wearing a dark blue straight jacket, his half-white hair was tied behind his head, he was tall but not burly, but he looked elegant, not like a general but like a teacher, if he hadn't seen his father Lin Guangcheng call him "uncle", Lin Yuan wouldn't have seen it at all.

"It's all my own family, let's remove the screen." The old lady spoke.

When even if there are subordinates, they move the screen neatly.

"This is my brother-in-law's nephew and grandson, and it really looks like a jade tree in the wind." The old lady said to one person beside Jiang Xingping with an amiable face.

The nephew and grandson were only eleven or twelve years old in Lin Yuan's opinion, but the old lady actually described it as a jade tree in the wind.

"Yu'er, come and give Mrs. Lin a salute." The old aunt and grandmother called at Ji Zongyu.

"The old lady is well." Ji Zongyu smiled and stepped forward and arched his hand.

In fact, Ji Zongyu reluctantly called the old lady an uncle, but obviously the old aunt and Ji Zongyu were not happy.

The old lady was not embarrassed and gave a meeting gift.

"My aunt also said that our old lady is so blessed, you are really blessed, this child not only looks like a jade tree in the wind, but also has a graceful demeanor." Zhu interjected with a smile, "Yu'er is the first time to come to Jinling? If you don't dislike it, let us You'er go shopping with you tomorrow. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I was ordered by my grandfather this time, and I have to accompany my grandmother to relieve my boredom, but I can't leave my post without permission." Ji Zongyu politely refused.

Lin Tianyou, who has always been pampered in the Lin Mansion, immediately felt a little worried.

"Mother, I have to go to the academy tomorrow." Lin Tianyou interrupted Zhu's words and wanted to persuade Ji Zongyu again, and arched his hand to Ji Zongyu and said, "I'm sorry." ”
