Chapter 21: Distraction
CHAPTER XXI
Wu Bai is a big grinning character, and immediately said casually: "Then she is not my sister?" Is the love from childhood to adulthood fake? After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Nan's face and burst out of his mouth: "Which of your sisters is not biological?" ”
Lin Nan heard his first sentence, and he was rightly reasonable, but when he heard the latter sentence, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he instinctively attacked: "Your sister is not her own!" ”
Fortunately, Wu Bai is a coarse teenager, and he is not annoyed when he is attacked, and he smiled: "The way you look today, what other important thing should I have to be so depressed for you." ”
Lin Nan was touched by his unintentional words, and was afraid that Wu Bai would see the clues, so he cheered up and went to play with him.
Sangjia Wazi recently came to a new scholar who wrote a play book, and wrote a famous book called "The Biography of the Heroes", which was arranged into a play by the tile, in which the young general fell in love with the daughter of the boudoir, but could not be together because of the national hatred and family hatred. A teenager of their age, it was when the heart of spring sprouted, and the babbling singing on the stage sounded, and the two teenagers in the audience were fascinated.
Lin Nan thought of Lin Biluo from this young general and the daughter of the boudoir, the origin of his third sister is a mystery, and he was concealed by A-Niang, if he heard it correctly today, is there such a tortuous reason for this?
The daughter of the county lord is also a relative of the emperor in this dynasty, how can the Lin family have anything to do with such a family for several generations of ordinary people?
Lin Nan couldn't figure it out, and suddenly remembered that Mr. Bao knew a lot about the history of this dynasty, and maybe he could ask him about the major events that had happened in this dynasty in the past 20 years, or he could find traces of spiders and worms.
Lin Nan thought about his thoughts, and just wanted to understand Lin Biluo's origin, but he didn't know that Wu Bai next to him looked at the play of the daughter of the boudoir on stage, and gradually seemed to see a little shadow of Lin Biluo.
Wu Bai unconsciously remembered Lin Biluo sitting behind the counter holding a book and reading carefully, with a slight smile on her face, and the girl's skin could be broken, as if with the breath of spring...... He suddenly felt empty, quietly turned his head sideways to look at Lin Nan, and saw that he was unaware of his cranky thoughts, his eyes were only focused on the stage, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief......
On the Lin family's side, He finished talking with Aunt Zhou, sent her out, went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw Ying'er sitting in front of the stove and guarding the stove to make white fungus lotus seed soup.
Seeing that He was coming, Ying'er got up busily, and He asked her to continue to sit and watch the fire, and asked, "What about the eldest sister and the second sister?" ”
"The eldest lady and the second lady are embroidering in the room, and they don't go out much these days."
He smiled, and also felt that the girl's family, this was the time to be reserved and shy, so she didn't bother, and simply raised her feet and went to the shop.
After Lin Biluo pushed Lin Nan out, thinking about his face, he only felt that it was not very good-looking, and thought about it, could it be that he had encountered something difficult recently? Suddenly remembered something, and secretly said that he must be anxious about this matter, but it is difficult to speak.
She thought that when the shop was closed, she would go to A-Niang to discuss, but she didn't expect He Shi to come over and hurriedly pull her to the counter, "A-Niang, have you forgotten something?" ”
He has been busy looking at the son-in-law candidate recently, the mother and father, the pressure is extraordinarily great, seeing her dignified little appearance, he touched her face: "I can't forget, I will go to Meng Bo's garden to choose dates in a few days, and it's time to make dates." ”
Lin Biluo reminded her with an expression of dereliction of duty that you guessed wrong: "A-Niang, have you paid attention to Brother Nan in the past two days?" ”
"Didn't he read obediently in his room?" He really didn't pay much attention to Lin Nan recently, "Could it be ...... Did this kid go out and mess around? ”
Lin Biluo stared at A-Niang's suddenly anxious face, and said in frustration: "Even if he goes outside to mess around, he has to have silver." I can't get any money from my mother, what is he going to do to mess around? ”
This area of Fengqiumen Street is extremely lively, there is a wealthy family, the children of their teens soak in the street every day, and do not go home in the middle of the night, either to watch the play and listen to the music, to kill time in the tile, or to sell gambling, or to run with the juggling team, there is always a place to find fun, and nothing can be achieved when they grow up. Although the children of merchants can participate in the scientific examination today, not all the children of merchants like to take the road of studying for the imperial examination.
This dynasty does not suppress merchants, and the merchants are not lowly, but also equal to the general good people, and the merchants are economically rich, and the life is very nourishing.
The children of these merchants wandered around the streets until they were fourteen or fifteen years old, and then they entered their own shops to learn how to run a business, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, they married wives and had children, and they were considered adults.
But He's is different, He's expectations for Lin Nan are more than that, she heard Mr. Bao say that Lin Nan is hardworking and self-motivated, and he is also a smart child, so she wants him to study and get ahead, because the number of times Lin Nan has gone out is really a handful, and it can't compare to the number of times Lin Biluo who is in charge of the shop.
Lin Biluo didn't give up, and reminded again: "A-Niang, our family has taken off filial piety, and we have taken off filial piety." ”
"Yes, it's filial piety, I'm in a hurry to give your two sisters a betrothal." Speaking of this, He's brows furrowed again.
Lin Biluo felt that A-Niang had really gone crazy recently, and she could always turn to marriage in three sentences, either assigning her sisters to make wedding clothes and embroideries for personal use, or calculating whether the daughter red buried in the backyard of the house was enough to entertain guests, and the groom had no shadow yet, and she sometimes suddenly mentioned: Oh, if there is a happy event at home, then no one can forget to invite them to drink a glass of wedding wine......
As soon as the two sisters heard A-Niang mention the family matter, they avoided it early, but Lin Biluo was pulled by her to talk, and her ears were about to grind out calluses.
"Auntie, is it time to go back to school after taking off Brother Xiaonan?" If she stays at home like this again, her brother is about to become stupid.
"yes, yes...... Yes? Going to school? He thought in his heart that there were several young men on the booklet from Mrs. Wei who had just read with Aunt Zhou, and his heart was not right, so he only thought that the little girl was coquettish, so he responded casually, and he didn't hear what she said until halfway through.
"Brother Nan going to the school?"
He suddenly remembered, didn't he? After getting rid of filial piety, Brother Nan can go to the school to continue to study with Mr. Bao. It's just that she's been too busy lately to forget about it.
Lin Biluo looked at her face and knew that she had forgotten about it, so she couldn't help but say: "Brother Nan'er came to the shop with a bad face, I thought that he must be worried about Shu Xiu, so I calculated it, twenty taels of silver, first from the shop, no matter what, I can't teach my brother to worry about this, right?" ”
Seeing that she was thoughtful, He Shi said: "I will go to prepare the four-color ceremony tomorrow, together with the bundle of silver, and let Brother Nan take it to the school to give it to Mr. Bao, and I will officially go to class the day after tomorrow." ”
Lin Biluo saw that He agreed, and also rejoiced for Lin Nan, "In the future, my brother won't have to stay at home all day, he will be stupid." ”
He smiled: "I'm afraid that he will go out every day and be dazzled, and his heart will not be recovered." ”
"No, no, how can it be? Ah Di is not such a child who does not know the seriousness. Lin Biluo hurriedly comforted He.
After dinner, Lin Nan came back from outside. He first went to the main room to see He, because he and Wu Bai had eaten on the street outside, and his stomach was not hungry. Lin heard that he had eaten, so he took his hand, and his face was full of shame: "Brother Nan, A-Niang has been busy with your sister's business recently, thanks to your third sister's reminder." She saw that your face was not good, and said that you are worried about Shu Xiu's silver, although our family does not earn much, but Shu Xiu's silver can still be afforded. ”
Lin Nan opened his mouth, he had a stomach full of questions and wanted to ask He, for example, the third sister was really not born to A-Niang? Whose family is she, why did her child come to our house? She...... Will you go back to your home in the future?
Zuihou one, he is actually the most concerned.
But seeing A-Niang's expression, thinking that she had been painstakingly hiding it for so many years, there must be a reason, I'm afraid that even if he asked, he wouldn't be able to ask anything. Lin Nan simply didn't ask, just thinking that he would be able to know the ins and outs of the matter one day by his own careful investigation.
Thinking that he would be able to see Mr. Bao tomorrow, he inquired again in the future, and finally a little smile appeared on his face, no matter what, Lin Biluo is still his sister at the moment, and I am afraid that she will be his sister for a long time in the future.
Lin Nan came out of He's main room, and went to Lin Biluo's room by the way, and saw her figure watching the account under the lamp through the window, and his mind that had been chaotic all afternoon finally calmed down.
Entering the room, Lin Biluo saw that he was back, so he smiled at him: "After going out to play, are you in a better mood?" ”
"Sister A's worried." Lin Nan seemed to be a little embarrassed, "I am the ......" When he heard the unexpected news, he was just upset.
But looking at Lin Biluo's smiling face, Lin Nan felt that perhaps, the person in front of her didn't know her life experience, and it was the most haode for her. Knowing it not only adds to the sadness, but also does not help.
Lin Biluo never thought that Lin Nan would know her background, so she would only be happy for him: "A-Niang promised to prepare a four-color ceremony and bunching silver with you tomorrow, and A-Di can go to the school." ”
Lin Nan said secretly: It's still ...... Let her live happily ever after. A sincere smile bloomed on his lips: "I heard that Sister Ah mentioned this matter to Ah Niang, Brother Thank you Sister Ah for this!" Saying that, he made a strange move in the play, which amused Lin Biluo.
