The Lin family is the largest grain merchant in Yanbei.

The current head of the Lin family is the eldest master of the Lin family, that is, the father of the fifth wife, the Lin family.

When Lin's father's grandfather died decades ago, the Lin family once split up once. The Lin family's grain shop was divided equally between the two Lin brothers, that is, Lin's grandfather and uncle. The Lin family's grain shop tripled in expansion due to the efforts of the two brothers.

It's a pity that Lin's uncle, grandfather and cousin met a thief when they went out once, and they were robbed and killed, leaving only the cousin's wife who was pregnant with Liujia in the second room of the Lin family.

Lin's cousin was eight months pregnant at the time, and after hearing the bad news of her husband and father-in-law, she was born prematurely, and she died on the delivery bed after giving birth to her husband's posthumous child.

After that, the Lin family naturally took over the business of the second room, took the premature nephew of the second room to the house to take care of him, and named him Lin Kun.

Lin Kun was born eight months prematurely, and he was only two catties (note: 16 taels per catty) after birth, and everyone thought that he couldn't raise it. It's just that this child's vitality is very tenacious, and he has grown up peacefully.

Lin Kun has been raised by the old lady Qiu in the long house since he was a child, and he is like his own grandchildren. When Lin Kun was seventeen years old, he begged Mrs. Lin to marry Ren Shijia, a girl from the Ren family.

Ren Shijia is the daughter of Mrs. Lin's niece, and she is naturally happy to see it. The Ren family also did not refuse the Lin family's proposal for marriage out of some consideration, and married Ren Shijia to Lin Kun in the second room of the Lin family.

It was also an expedient measure for the Lin family to take over the business of the second room back then, and it stands to reason that the business of the Lin family's second room should be returned to the second room after Lin Kun grows up. But after so many years, the Lin family has no intention of returning the business, and only treats Lin Kun as the grandchild of the long house.

However, the Lin family has many grandchildren, and Lin Kun is a person in the second house or a person in a big house, and there is a huge difference when he inherits the family property in the future.

At this time, the eldest lady Wang came in, and Ren Shijia called her sister-in-law with a smile.

The eldest lady said softly: "I have already sent someone to clean up your Warm Fragrance Pavilion, do you want to go over and have a look now?" ”

The old lady opened her eyes at this time, but said to Lin: "You have always been good with Shi Jia. Knowing her preferences, go to Xiangnuan Pavilion with your sister-in-law to help her take a look. If you look at it, Shi Jia will definitely be satisfied. She just came back, and her body is heavy, so it's better for me to rest here again. ”

Lin got up with a smile and said to Ren Shijia: "Then I'll go and help you take a look." If there is anything that needs to be replaced, I will replace it for you, and you don't want to say you don't like it then. ”

Ren Shijia said angrily: "What the fifth sister-in-law likes, I must like it." Thank you sister-in-law and sister-in-law for making you tired. ”

"What are these words? We're all glad you're back. ”

Lin patted Ren Shijia's hand. walked with the eldest lady and bowed down, and while walking, he said the furnishings that Ren Shijia liked when she was a girl.

Li looked at the old lady and Ren Shijia's mother and daughter, and the old lady closed her eyes slightly and leaned on the Luohan bed without speaking. Ren Shijia lowered his head and lowered his eyes to count the patterns on the skirt and saw that there was some wandering in the world, and Li Shi was a little uneasy, so he also got up and said: "Since my aunt and grandmother want to rest, I will take the children down first." ”

She could see that Ren Shijia must have something to do when she came back at this time, but she had never had the opportunity to talk to Mrs. Ren alone before, so she knew each other and wanted to leave.

The old lady finally opened her eyes and nodded: "You guys go down first." ”

Ren Shijia also smiled kindly: "If the third sister-in-law of Gai Ming'er is free, remember to take Yaohua and Yaoqi to my yard to play." It is rare to live in the warm incense pavilion once a year. Strangely deserted. ”

Li smiled back and nodded.

Ren Shijia's attitude towards the Li family is quite friendly, especially since she married into the Lin family and has not been able to give birth to children. Therefore, I can also feel the pain of the Li family without a son.

The Li family took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua sisters and retreated.

Only then did the old lady Ren retreat from the people who were waiting around her and sat up: "Why are you back here?" What happened? ”

Ren Shijia suddenly turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head and sobbed after the most sudden.

Old Lady Ren frowned. But it was a sigh: "What are you crying about?" Be careful if you hurt your body, it's not good for your child. ”

Ren Shijia cried immediately, quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears, sniffed and said, "Mother, I'm so scared, I ...... I didn't dare to stay in the Lin family anymore. ”

Mrs. Ren originally thought that Ren Shijia came back because the husband and wife had made some trouble, but now she heard her coldly and couldn't help but be surprised: "What happened?" ”

Ren Shijia suddenly threw herself into Mrs. Ren's arms, her face turned a little pale: "After I became pregnant, the Lin family arranged a small kitchen for me, and I wrote to my aunt before, begging her to help me find a cook in Jiangnan." A few days ago, my aunt sent me two cooks, one is good at cooking Jianghuai cuisine, and the other is good at cooking medicinal food. ”

The aunt in Ren Shijia's mouth is Mrs. Ren's own sister, the old lady in charge of the Fang family in Jiangning, that is, Aunt Fang's mother-in-law.

Mrs. Ren gently patted Ren Shijia's back: "I heard your aunt mention this matter in a letter, why did something wrong with those two cooks?" ”

Ren Shijia shook his head: "It's not that the chef has a problem, it's ...... It's the Lin family who has a problem. The cook, who knew how to make medicinal food, also cured some of the woman's stubborn diseases, and when I asked her to show me if the fetus in my womb was healthy, she actually saw that my previous miscarriages were ...... It was manipulated! ”

"What!" Old Lady Ren was so shocked that she almost jumped up, she pressed Ren Shijia's shoulder, and said sharply, "Jia'er, do you know what Lu Dao said again?" ”

Ren Shijia nodded with palpitations: "My daughter knows how to go." The daughter was also shocked when she heard this at first, and she couldn't believe it. Over the years, my daughter has been in the Lin family, and the old lady and the eldest lady have treated me very well, and the old lady also asked me to follow the eldest lady as a housekeeper, and the concubines in the long room did not have my beauty. I never gave birth to a child for my husband, and the old lady didn't let my husband take a concubine, and asked the eldest lady to dismiss me, and I still felt like a lucky daughter-in-law at that time. But...... But this time I told Xianggong what the cook told me, and Xianggong quietly found a skilled doctor for me, and the doctor said that Xianggong and I were both in good health, and it stands to reason that there should be frequent miscarriages, and that the heirs would be difficult. ”

Old Lady Ren frowned and said suspiciously: "The doctor you saw before didn't see that it was wrong?" Didn't I send you a few more experienced mothers? They didn't see it either? ”

Ren Shijia said: "I then brought the two stable women to interrogate, and they said that they just felt that I was weak and lacking in blood and qi, so they also paid attention to helping me replenish blood and qi on weekdays, but they couldn't see whether I was born with poor health or was harmed by others." As for the doctors who ask for my pulse on weekdays, they are all people that the old lady is used to. I...... Mother, what should I do? I'm afraid this kid will be killed too. I will be 30 years old in another year, and Wen Po said that when the time comes, I will have to conceive a child, and the birth will be even more difficult. Mother, please save me, save me......"

Mrs. Ren was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly patted her daughter's back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with your mother here, no one can hurt you." Mother, let people ask the doctor to come into the house to check your pulse. I will definitely help you save the baby in the womb. You can live at home with peace of mind, and don't go back to the Lin family first. ”

"I came back to my parents' house this time under the pretext of having a dispute with my husband, and on the way, the old lady and the eldest lady sent someone to persuade me twice. They're going to send someone back. Ren Shijia worried.

Old Mrs. Ren frowned and thought for a while: "I will block it back for you, you don't care about anything, just take care of the fetus with peace of mind." ”

Ren Shijia sat up straight from Mrs. Ren's arms: "Mother, if this matter is true, what should my daughter do?" If it's true, they, they're too vicious. The old lady is my aunt and grandmother! ”

Old Lady Ren frowned and thought about things in her heart, and did not answer Ren Shijia's words, but said: "When your father comes back, I will discuss it with him, and you pretend not to know anything first." Saying that, Mrs. Ren recruited the maid to come in and asked her to invite a doctor she knew well on weekdays to come into the house to check Ren Shijia's pulse.

When the maid came out, Mrs. Ren explained to Ren Shijia again: "What you said just now, remember not to talk to your fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, and don't let them see any clues." Externally, you have to insist that you came back because you were dissatisfied with your uncle, do you know how to do it? ”

"Yes, mother, my daughter knows the truth." Ren Shijia hurriedly assured.

Soon after, the fifth wife, Lin Shi, came over and said that she had already gone to see Ren Shijia's Warm Fragrance Pavilion and replaced a few small objects.

Mrs. Ren asked Ren Shijia to go back to her yard to rest.

When the doctor entered the house, the old lady first asked the doctor to go to her yard to explain it, and then asked him to go to the Nuanxiang Pavilion to diagnose Ren Shijia's pulse.

At noon, when Old Man Ren came back, the old lady withdrew and talked to Old Man Ren about Ren Shijia's suspicions.

“…… Speaking of which, I already felt that something was wrong, so after Jia'er became pregnant this time, I had a little more heart and specially sent her two trustworthy stable women. A few years ago, the Lin family also said that they wanted Jia'er to choose a boy among the grandchildren in the long house to pass on. But the biological father of other people's children has not died, and when they grow up, they will not be related to their biological parents? The abacus of the long room can be sounded. ”

"What did Lisheng say?" Old lady Ren, who paced slowly for a few steps, stopped and asked calmly.

The Lisheng in his mouth is the character of Ren Shijia's husband Lin Kun.

Mrs. Ren said: "You still don't know your uncle's temperament?" That's the best thing to handle! I also took a fancy to him at the beginning, so I agreed to marry my daughter, but I didn't want it to be such a result. When the Lin family first came to ask to marry Jia'er, they said that it was very good, and my aunt also said that it was for his nephew in the second room, but now this second room has become a long house. If Jia'er really has something wrong, their Lin family shouldn't think about it! How unreasonable! I offered the girls of their Lin family as daughters, but they did this to my daughters. ”

The more Mrs. Ren spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't control her voice anymore.
