Xue Ning coughed softly outside, Xianglan was taken aback, and hurriedly pushed the person away, bowed her head and said, "Someone." Lin Jinlou frowned, only to hear Xue Ning say in a low voice: "Uncle, the fourth aunt and the fourth aunt are here." ”

Xianglan hurriedly got up, while combing her sideburns and pulling her clothes, Lin Jinlou muttered, "If you don't come early, you won't come late." "I had to get up and go out.

Not long after, Lin Dongxiu led De Ge'er in, De Ge'er wore a gray squirrel face, a big hairy black rat lining, a cloak with a fever inside and out, and a Guanyin pocket, and the little black face made the wind swish red, and sniffed from time to time. Xianglan hurriedly took soft paper to blow his nose for De Ge'er, stepped forward to touch his face, and was worried that he would freeze him, and the secret monster was not taking good care of him.

Lin Dongxiu shouted coldly, sat on the kang first, took off his cloak, held hot tea, and saw Xianglan taking care of Brother De'er, so he said: "Originally, I was sitting in the carriage, but I had to go out to ride a horse, and the Hou Ye also indulged him, in case he was frostbitten, it was like I was not careful." ”

When De Ge'er heard this, he hung his head.

Xianglan only felt that this was inappropriate, but she couldn't say anything, while letting Brother De go to the kang, ordering Xue Ning to set up the fruit table, and on the other hand, letting Brother De'er sit on her own mattress, making a bowl of hot tea, stuffing it into his little fat hand, and covering him with a blanket, the hand stove was tucked at his feet, and Lin Dongxiu said in his mouth: "Even our head knows that you treat Brother De'er well, even if the child has a headache and brain fever, others will not say anything." ”

Lin Dongxiu sighed: "It would be nice if it was like this." He sandwiched a piece of the cloud cake in front of him and ate it with De Ge'er, and said, "I am hungry on the road, so I will pad my stomach first, and I am not allowed to eat more." ”

De Ge'er nodded, wiped his hands with a towel, and obediently grabbed the cake and nibbled on it.

Xianglan looked at De Ge'er and said secretly: "There are a few children of this age who are so well-behaved, and they know how to look at people's faces, this is all because his mother died early." I couldn't help but feel distressed, thinking of it, Lin Dongxiu seemed to treat Brother De well, and was a little relieved. Raising his head, he saw Lin Dong embroidering the woman's hair in a regular manner, using a color of red gold and jasper jewelry, a few years older than the original, with a digging cloud goose ** gold sable squirrel felt Zhaojun set on his head, wearing a magenta Baizi jacket, magenta gold hair skirt all over the place, and his face was coated with fat powder, but there was a hidden sadness, if it wasn't for the bright clothes, he couldn't see that she was a festive newlywed.

The three of them spoke, and Xianglan asked De Ge'er about his homework, and saw that there were many places where he answered, and he was unconsciously relieved. For a while, Xue Ning came in and said: "The uncle and the fourth aunt are eating wine outside, saying that it is snowing outside, and they will go to enjoy the plum blossoms when the snow stops." Let the masters eat something first. So the maids and ladies came in on the kang table, Xianglan got up and stood aside, Lin Dongxiu pulled her arm and smiled: "I don't dare to let you serve me to eat, the eldest brother knows that it's time to annoy me." Then he ordered everyone to set the meal, and roses, cold branches, and snow condensation served aside. De Ge'er was sleepy after eating, and his little head fell asleep little by little, and he fell asleep not long after he fell on the kang.

Xianglan covered him with a quilt and whispered to Lin Dongxiu: "Brother De'er is different from ordinary children, and he is always afraid of upsetting anyone, which makes people feel distressed. To say a lot of words, the fourth aunt and grandmother will care more about talking to him in the future, we are unintentional, we are afraid that the child will think too much. ”

Lin Dongxiu said a little impatiently: "I save it, Master Hou treats him as an eyeball, and his wife and Aunt Xia let me treat him well, where do I dare to treat him badly, just like this, and from time to time to attract others to find fault with gossip." ”

Xianglan said: "The mouth grows on others, we can't control it, we can sit upright by ourselves, and have a clear conscience." ”

Lin Dongxiu sighed and said, "It's so easy, you are not an outsider, and I want to tell you some things." Then it went on and on, pouring out a bitter water.

It turned out that the mundane affairs of Yuan's house were taken care of by Yuan Shaoren's aunt He's, and on the second day of Lin Dongxiu's entry, He's handed over the feed to Lin Dongxiu. Lin Dongxiu was naturally full of ambition, intending to let go of his hands and feet, but after tasting it carefully for two days, he found that there were not only many evils in the house, but also intertwined between the master and the servant.

"After all, the He family is the uncle and aunt of the Hou family, but in charge, where is he willing to offend people, the people in the house are not strictly controlled, they eat and drink and play money, the girls and the young daughters-in-law and the housekeepers are also closed the door nonsense, this is not counted, the money in the account is greedy for the money in the ink public, false reports and concealments, and there are unclean hands and feet to steal things, the roster and the things in the library do not match, the white porcelain bowl is almost going to be taken away, this is good, I lost a mess to me, you say it makes people angry? This is not counting, the most annoying thing is those irrelevant relatives, the uncles and brothers, nieces and nieces of the Hou Ye's aunts are also leading errands, and the fox and the tiger are pulling the banner to do dirty things, but it is not, no matter what, the people I married in the past were squeezed openly and secretly, and I punished those Diao slaves a little, and those old aunts cried and shouted and came out to kneel and beg for mercy, even the Hou Ye asked me to forget it, I" Lin Dongxiu choked up as he spoke, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said, " They are waiting to see my jokes inside and out, and He also looks at me unpleasantly, and is picky about everything, and now I don't seem to be able to say anything very well. ”

Xianglan said: "Why don't you go back and ask your wife for advice?" And what about Mother Han, didn't Mrs. give her to you? She is old and knowledgeable, and she consults with her more about the good and the bad. There is also Aunt Xia, she is a first-class shrewd person, didn't she agree to go to the Hou Mansion with you to live for a while? ”

Lin Dongxiu's nose was red, and he let out a long breath: "I won't tell you, I was holding my breath in my heart, the old lady and his wife looked down on me at the beginning, I knew in my heart that I was also holding my breath, and I was willing to make a career for them to see, how could I slap my face and beg my wife?" Han's mother gave me a few ideas, but I didn't think it would work. Aunt Xia was announced by the palace a few days ago, and I heard that because Princess Yongcheng was to be married, Aunt Xia was doing old things, and she was specially announced to be an assistant. He went to shake Xianglan's hand again and said, "Good Xianglan, now I have something to ask you." ”

Xianglanqi said: "Please? ”

Lin Dongxiu said: "Exactly." I am newly married, the Hou Ye and I are just respectful of each other, he is busy, and he only talks to me for three or five sentences on weekdays, I am alone, how can I gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion? The eldest brother has a very good personal relationship with the Hou Ye, if I can come to the Hou Mansion for a trip, or mention it to the Hou Ye, so that he can be accommodating with me in everything, I can also show my skills in the mansion. I know that you are the person on the tip of the eldest brother's heart, Xianglan, good Xianglan, I bother you to talk to my eldest brother for me. ”

Xianglan suddenly realized, strange that Lin Dongxiu was more polite to her than usual today, and complained to her again, it turned out that she wanted to ask Lin Jinlou to go to the Hou Mansion to support her, so she said: "In this case, wouldn't it be better for you to talk to him yourself, why bother to be separated from me?" ”

Lin Dongxiu shrank his neck and said, "I told him a few days ago, but my eldest brother didn't agree."

Xianglan looked at Lin Dongxiu's face, and knew that Lin Jinlou definitely didn't give her a good sound that day, he refused to help, and he knew that the truth may not be exactly as Lin Dongxiu said, but although Lin Dongxiu likes to instigate trouble, her heart is not bad in the end, and she has been regulated by Aunt Xia to have some appearance, and now she is wronged like this, which also shows that the Yuan family's family is not good.

The women of the wealthy family, others feel glamorous and decent, but the daughters-in-law who marry into such people's families have their own bitterness, if they do not have considerable heart, knowledge, patience and virtue, how can they afford this bowl of rice in a high position in this aristocratic family.

Xianglan said: "I naturally mentioned it to the uncle, as for whether he agrees or not, I don't know, you also know his temperament." ”

Lin Dongxiu said happily: "I'm still bothering you to say a few more nice words, you have helped me so much, I admit your affection." ”

Xianglan paused and said: "Just a few words, it's not worth thanking, it's just that the fourth aunt and grandmother have to weigh the directors themselves, if you encounter difficulties next time, the uncle can't go back to support you." ”

Lin Dongxiu sneered: "I know, now that I have passed this level, I have already drawn up the charter in my heart, one is counted as one, I keep it all in my heart, and when I gain a firm foothold in the mansion and call for wind and rain, I dare to step on me, bully me, and try to pinch me, I will ask them to return it a thousand times and a hundred times!" ”

Xianglan was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Retribution for injustice, if you have such a hostile heart, the family will inevitably struggle endlessly in the future, and there will be no peace." ”

Lin Dongxiu snorted: "Do you think there is a peaceful day now?" If I don't say a word, everyone will think that I am a dead person, and if I don't rebel in the future, how can I manage my family? ”

Xianglan persuaded: "Governing the family is based on harmony, establishing good rules, using this to control, rewards and punishments are clear, or taking moderation and generosity as a policy." In the long run, life in the world, suffering is a blessing, everyone has a long eye, you are generous and loving, naturally win the hearts of the people, the family is prosperous and peaceful, the Hou Ye is happy, and naturally respect you, compared with one, the grievances suffered on weekdays are nothing. ”

Lin Dongxiu sneered: "I'm not as good as you, I'm the master, it's their share of tolerating me, why should I let them tolerate them in turn?" ”

Xianglan looked at Lin Dongxiu's face, and knew that it was useless to say more, so she closed her mouth. Lin Dongxiu didn't want to mention it again, so he looked for the words on the side and said, "How is your body?" I see you're looking better than you used to. He took a closer look at Xianglan's face and said, "Not only your complexion, I see that your face has changed." ”

Xianglan smiled: "I don't know when the fourth aunt and grandmother will learn to meet?" How about giving me a hexagram? ”

Lin Dongxiu shook his head and said, "It's not a joke. When I first saw you, I just felt that you were born well, and you looked docile, but you could reveal such a high level from your bones, but I didn't know what you could be arrogant about, which was not annoying. Later, it was even more amazing, others said that you had one sentence, and you waited for ten sentences to be returned, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths. Later, I gradually looked at it and became peaceful, I could put anything in my stomach, I thought that the Jiang family was so lacking in morality, you would have to make a big fuss, if it was me, it would be all over the city, so that everyone else knew what the Jiang family had to do to relieve the hatred, who knew that you were so silent, could it be that the big brother wore out your temper? ”

Xianglan was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and did not say anything. It's not just Lin Jinlou, she has stumbled in the past few years, every step she takes is blood and tears, every step makes her transform, she sees her small, wears off her high and tough, becomes humble and soft, because she has suffered ups and downs, she knows more about what she does not want to do to others, and knows how to pity and compassion the hardships and mistakes of others.

After the drugging incident, she hoped to get out of the house, but in the end she was still disheartened. When she lingered on the sickbed, she recalled every bit of her two lives, and suddenly felt that she was too persistent and confused. If she really has a bad fate and is trapped in the Lin family for the rest of her life, does she really want to follow Jialian's old path and turn herself into a dead ash in depression? In fact, what tortures oneself for thousands of calamities, can't let go of it, weeps for it, and breaks one's heart is just a thought. To this day, she still wants to go out of the house, but there are too many things to be grateful for in the days, and the situation changes with her heart, and she slowly learns not to let this obsession gnaw at her heart day and night, which makes her miserable and unspeakable.

Xue Ning came in to add tea, and put the fruit again, Lin Dongxiu took a sip of hot tea, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "I actually ran into an old man on the way here today, guess who it is?" ”

Xianglan said: "Who?" ”

Lin Dongxiu said: "It turned out to be Song Ke!" I met at the official road station, Hou Ye asked the post station to make tea with hot water, and we also went down to rest, but I didn't think that Song Ke was also there with his family, his daughter-in-law Zheng Jingxian, and his son, they could run all over the ground in a flash, saying that they were coming to the suburbs of Beijing. Because of this layer of in-law relationship, they met each other, Song Ke's description remained unchanged, and Zheng Jingxian said a few words of greeting, but there was nothing to say. ”

Xianglan muttered: "It turned out to be him, and I don't know how he is doing now" was a little stunned in her heart.

Lin Dongxiu laughed with Xianglan again, and also made a sleepy mistake, lying on the kang with her clothes together and sleeping next to Brother De'er, but Xianglan was not tired, thinking about Lin Dongxiu's entrustment, and said secretly: "It's better to call Lin Jinlou right now and tell him about this, whether he agrees or not, I have done my best, and I have an explanation." Xue Ning called twice, but no one answered. It turned out that the maids were also sleepy and tired all the way, and when they saw that the masters were chatting and laughing, they all went to the hood room to rest.

Xianglan came out to look for it, put a big screen outside the house, Lin Jinlou and Yuan Shaoren were eating and talking in the Ming Hall outside, Xianglan was just about to go around to the side of the aisle, then heard Yuan Shaoren say: "On the way to today, I met Song Ke, holding his wife and children, saying that he was going to the suburbs to visit relatives." What relatives are good in this cold and snowy place? Thinking that the rumors in the capital were not peaceful, his father-in-law ordered them to come out and hide. ”

Xianglan paused when she heard this.

I only heard Lin Jinlou say: "Song Ke and his father-in-law have always waved the flag and shouted for the second prince, and he was impeached by his colleagues two months ago. Clear-eyed people know that this is the handiwork of Donggong. The second prince is not ambiguous, yesterday he killed Zhao Jin by a means, and each side broke an arm. ”

"Song Ke has real talent and learning, and it would be a pity if the future was ruined by the disaster of taking the heir."

Lin Jinlou snorted, obviously disagreeing.
