205. The Children's Affair III
Zhang touched his hungry belly, gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother and sister, I will believe you this time, you can ask whatever you want, if I know, I will tell you." β
Lin Xue looked around, no one opened the door from the outside and slipped in, Zhang jumped up and said, "What are you doing here, it's hard to regret it." β
Lin Xue shook her head, found a place to sit down, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know that my mother has a relative who is an official." β
"How is that possible?" Zhang sat on the stool with a grin, and crossed Erlang's legs, "Third brother and sister, if my mother has a relative who is an official, will our family be so wretched?" And when Cheng'er was taking the Xiucai exam, as long as the official said a word, it was a sure thing, I said, you haven't woken up yet. β
Lin Xue became more and more puzzled in her heart, even the Zhang family didn't know about this, how did the county Cheng's daughter come out, could it be that she was an impostor, Lin Xue shook her head, it should be unlikely, and there is no need for the Wang family to tell this lie.
Lin Xue looked at Zhang playfully and said, "Sister-in-law, don't believe it, there was a girl in our family just now, who claimed to be the daughter of the county Cheng, and she was invited by her mother, I estimate that this matter is not far from ten, tsk, this mother is really ruthless, there is such a good relative still hidden, and it has delayed Cheng'er's good future in vain, otherwise the protagonist of today's celebration banquet is you." β
Zhang's face was cloudy, and he looked at Lin Xue suspiciously and said, "Third brother and sister, what you said is true, so why haven't I heard my mother mention it for so many years." β
Lin Xue spread her hands and said innocently, "Then you have to ask your mother, sister-in-law, it seems that you don't know anything, then I'm sorry, you just continue to stay here, I can't help you." Lin Xue said and walked out.
Zhang hurriedly stopped her and said with an urgent expression, "Third brother and sister, you also take back this silver, you can help say a few good words, let my father let me out, the taste of hunger is really uncomfortable." "Although Zhang's life is not good, she has never been hungry, and she has not eaten anything since the morning today, and her body has long been unable to stand it......
Lin Xue pretended to be embarrassed, frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want me to help you, there must be a reason, otherwise I will be upset." β
Zhang's face was bitter, but he hated Lin Xue very much in his heart, grabbed the corner of the table and said, "Third brother and sister, can't I just beg you?" β
Lin Xue shook her head, looking at Zhang's appearance, she couldn't ask anything, and then walked out and locked the door from the outside, and there was another abusive sound, but it was much quieter than before.
In the upper room, Li Feng sat on the stool with an expressionless face, and a delicate girl sat opposite, a pair of beautiful eyes lingered on him, Li Feng felt uncomfortable, stood up and said, "Grandpa, I have to go out beforehand." β
"Well, go ahead." The old man understands that some things are not in a hurry, so this time let the two get to know each other first, and talk about other things later.
After Li Feng walked out, Wang said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, your parents have no opinion on the matter between you and Feng'er, now it depends on your meaning." β
Long Jiaojiao's face flushed, and she said shyly, "Auntie, I have the right to speak about the marriage matter, you can just call the shots." β
The smile on Wang's face deepened, and he glanced at the old man and said, "In this case, Jiaojiao, you should contact Feng'er first, and when your parents come over after a while, the two of us will settle the marriage." β
Xiao Cui stood behind Long Jiaojiao and scratched her heart with a hundred claws, this Li Gongzi looked good, but he had a vicious mother, and Miss was really, not only did she not believe what she said, but she also blamed her.
Long Jiaojiao looked at the upper room, and said embarrassedly, "Auntie, then where I live during this time, and Xiaocui She has been taking care of me closely, I don't think there seems to be any extra room in this courtyard." β
Long Jiaojiao covered her nose with a handkerchief, there has always been a strange smell in this room that she can't get used to, and the dirty quilt on Wang's kang, if she is really allowed to live here, it is better to die.
The Wang family was also embarrassed, at first he just wanted to take Long Jiaojiao over, but he didn't think of the accommodation problem, the only empty place in the house was the shack, but how could Long Jiaojiao be willing to live there.
The old man took a puff of dry tobacco, raised his head and said, "Let Jiaojiao live with the third child first, and you can also cultivate your feelings very well." β
Long Jiaojiao showed a hint of joy, she inquired clearly before she came, her aunt's family has three rooms, and Li Feng is still a lifter, and his future achievements will definitely not be small, "Auntie, my heart is not very good, men and women are not at the same age at the age of seven, what if others gossip." β
Wang waved his hand and said indifferently, "You will be Feng'er's fiancΓ©e soon, don't worry about those rules, just live in peace." β
Long Jiaojiao stopped talking, pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, then Jiaojiao will listen to your arrangement." β
Wang nodded with satisfaction, this Long Jiaojiao is really obedient, and things will be much easier in the future, turning his head to Li Ping and saying, "Ping'er, go and call your third brother in, I have something to say to her." β
Li Feng was talking to Lin Xue when he saw Li Ping pulling Li Qi to the upper room, paused and said, "Mother, how can I have a bad premonition, you go and see your father, I guess my grandmother is calculating our family again." Li Feng really hated Long Jiaojiao's eyes when he looked at him, so he stayed away.
Lin Xue went to the upper room without the slightest hesitation, she was now sure that the Wang family must have brought Long Jiaojiao for Feng'er, she couldn't let Li Qi, a stupid person, fall into the hands of the Wang family, although she didn't know what the character of this Long Jiaojiao was, but she and Feng'er were close relatives, if they got married, what if they gave her a disabled grandson.
The atmosphere in the upper room is still good, Long Jiaojiao has a third uncle, and Li Qi is a happy, sensible niece, worthy of being the daughter of the county Cheng, that is, educated.
When Xiao Cui saw Lin Xue come in, her body couldn't help but tremble, how did this terrible old witch come in, Miss, help, Xiao Cui twisted her handkerchief with both hands, and was very uneasy.
"Xiaoxue, this is Long Jiaojiao, and she is also our niece, she used to be far away, and this is the first time we have met." Li Qi happily pointed to Long Jiaojiao and introduced it to Lin Xue.
Long Jiaojiao gave Lin Xue a salute and said, "Third aunt, it's okay if you call me Jiaojiao, my maid is not sensible today, and I hope my aunt doesn't take it to heart." β
Lin Xue's first impression of Long Jiaojiao was not good, it was too contrived, if she really married such a daughter-in-law and went home, she would not have to vomit to death, for the sake of Wang's face, Lin Xue squeezed out a smile and said, "It's just a trivial matter, I didn't pay attention to it at all, by the way, Jiaojiao, how long are you going to stay here this time." β
Long Jiaojiao was displeased, the one who asked this question as soon as they met, rural people are rural people, and they can't even speak, Long Jiaojiao's face remains unchanged, and she still says with a smile, "Third aunt, this time my aunt asked me to come over, and when I will go back depends on my aunt's meaning, so Jiaojiao doesn't know." β
Lin Xue nodded and said, "Mother, I heard that Jiaojiao is the daughter of the county Cheng, she must have already decided to get married, I don't know if the son of that mansion is so blessed." β
Wang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The third daughter-in-law, Jiaojiao hasn't decided to marry yet, don't talk nonsense, the girl is thin-skinned, and she can't stand your jokes like this." β
Lin Xue smiled and didn't speak, this official family has not decided to marry at the age of sixteen, it is really abnormal, she glanced at Long Jiaojiao vaguely, I don't know if her vision is too high, or if there is something wrong with Long Jiaojiao herself.
The old man raised his head, knocked on the table and said, "Third child, Jiaojiao wants to stay here for a while, but there is really no room at home, see if you can let Jiaojiao live with you first." β
Li Qi just wanted to agree, but his waist hurt, and he swallowed the words in his mouth directly, Lin Xue let go of his hand, and said to the old man as if he was fine, "Dad, this is not good, Jiaojiao is here to accompany her mother, how troublesome it is to live with me, Cheng'er hasn't been to the town recently, let Jiaojiao live in his house first." β
A trace of unhappiness flashed in Long Jiaojiao's eyes, the upper rooms of the Li family are so dilapidated, presumably Li Cheng's house is even more unbearable, she is a child of an official family, how can she live in such a shabby place, and these three aunts, she simply doesn't know how to lift, she is willing to live in the past reluctantly, these three aunts dare to refuse.
The old man's face was not very good-looking, and he said stiffly, "The third daughter-in-law, Jiaojiao is borrowing from you for a while, okay, the matter is settled, and no one is allowed to say it again." β
Lin Xue was speechless, this old man actually played a scoundrel, could it be that he had to let this Long Jiaojiao live in the past, before Lin Xue made a decision, Long Jiaojiao stood up and said, "Third aunt, Jiaojiao will definitely not cause you trouble in the past, I can do the daily chores by myself, I heard that my aunt also has a daughter named Yunyun, we are the same age, and we will definitely become good friends soon." β
"I hope so." Lin Xue smiled, this dragon Jiaojiao is really difficult to deal with, it seems that this trouble must be solved as soon as possible.
When he went back, Li Feng looked at Long Jiaojiao in the carriage, her whole face was dark, and she pulled Lin Xue and said, "Mother, what's going on, why do you want this woman to live in our house." β
Lin Xue shrugged her shoulders and said, "What can I do about your master's order, won't I live in our house if I don't want to?" If you are impatient and hide, she will still be able to eat you. β
Li Feng could only accept his fate, but he didn't want to sit in the same carriage with Long Jiaojiao, Lin Xue had no choice but to walk back with him, although Long Jiaojiao also had this heart, but when she heard that she was going to walk for half an hour, she directly dispelled the idea, her little feet couldn't stand such a toss.
