19 Jingshan Road, Lin House.

This half-hidden mansion in the mountains is not magnificent, but it is large enough to be eye-catching. In order to welcome his daughter home, Mr. Lin specially ordered people to build a huge European-style fountain in the garden in front of the main gate, the style is modeled on the most fashionable model in Europe at present, the horse pulls the chariot, the chariot stands on the statue of the goddess, the wind makes a splash, and the sun jumps on the water droplets.

I haven't seen each other for many years, the family has a lot to talk about, Master Lin specially pushed off the whole day's itinerary, and accompanied his daughter to gossip about homely things, and the aunts and wives naturally didn't dare to be idle in the house, and sat in the hall in bright clothes, happy or not waiting to see them, all kinds of looks, Lin Wanjing saw clearly. The little ones were led by the housekeeper, and they did some luggage for Lin Wanjing inside and out, but they heard a loud noise, the lock tips of the white jewelry box popped off for some reason, and the bracelet necklace was scattered all over the ground, and the dazzling brilliance flashed into the eyes of the aunts and wives, but it became another color. Lin Wanjing saw their expressions clearly, so she had to sigh secretly, and said to the little girl who was picking up jewelry in a panic:

"Don't take the box, take it all."

The little servant responded with a hello, and hurriedly presented a handful of jewelry in the velvet cloth to everyone, and put it flat on the coffee table, Lin Wanjing picked up a few bracelets and bracelets to see, but saw that they were unharmed, so they said to everyone:

Wan Jing came back in a hurry this time, and she didn't have time to order some souvenirs for her aunts, which was indeed Wan Jing's negligence. Although these jewels are not priceless, they are also in excellent condition, and if the aunts do not dislike them, they will pick them up and wear them. ”

Although the humble words are said so, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the box of gems and diamonds, just looking at the craftsmanship, knows that it is a foreign product, not a common craft on the market. Seeing the aunts and wives scrambling to choose their favorite styles, the eldest lady Mo Zhidong was indeed sorry in her heart, turned her head to look at her daughter beside her, but saw that she was still smiling, but her smile was full of helplessness, and just about to speak, Lin Wanjing was already relieved:

"It's okay, everyone is happy."

I was grabbing it here, but I heard the sound of footsteps on the porch, and my high heels stepped on the marble floor, clattering into the hall.

"I said that our eldest lady is back is different, there are things inside and outside here, and it may not be enough to build a room!" As she spoke, the woman led her son in.

"Mommy." Lin Wanjing stood up and said respectfully.

The woman who came in front of her was the last one in the line among the Lin family's aunts, called the name and Rong, when Lin Wanjing left, her son was only 6 years old, but now he is also the year of cardamom, and he has grown from a childish child to a very young man.

"It's different when I come back from abroad, I look at what I wear, I really don't have it in China." As she said this, she casually touched the lynx fur shawl that Wan Jing put on the handle.

"If Mom likes it, use it." Wan Jing said.

"That's it, thank you!" Yourong was not polite, took the shawl in her hand, and patted her son's shoulder again, "Junjun, why are you standing stupidly?" Call me sister! ”

"Sister." The boy spoke.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I'm shy." Yourong hugged her son and smiled, "When you were a child, you didn't know how much you liked to pester your sister, why are you so rusty now?" ”

"Wan Jun has grown up." Lin Wanjing smiled, "Besides, I haven't seen you for so many years, it's inevitable." ”

As he spoke, the butler came in again.

"Miss, the 'Imperial Kuntai' sent a letter, saying that it was for you."

"Yo, this phoenix just flew back, and there were birds chasing after it! Could it be that Liu Dashuai is also interested in our Wanjing? ”

"Tsk, don't talk nonsense!" Mo Zhidong was unhappy, and Yourong's words were exactly what she was worried about, she first glared at Yourong, and then worried about Lin Wanjing, "Wanjing, how could you be involved with Yu Kuntai?" ”

Yu Kuntai is the annex of Liu Daolin, the great warlord of Luzhou, and it is not so much a separate garden as a cold palace. Twenty years ago, Liu Daolin married the beautiful embroidery girl Fu Shien as the third aunt, and then gave birth to the eldest son Liu Jin, who was loved by thousands of people. Who expected that the good times would not last long, and the eldest lady of the Shuai Mansion, She, scolded Fu for having an affair with the adjutant on the street, and rumors spread for a while, and the Liu Mansion was disturbed by a fire in the backyard. Liu Daolin couldn't, so he had to move Fu Shien and Liu Jin out of Liu's mansion and live alone in Yukuntai - far away from the downtown and away from right and wrong.

Lin Wanjing didn't answer, but carefully opened the brown paper envelope, and poked her head over as if she was looking at the excitement, but saw that there was nothing else in the envelope except for a few official letters. didn't see the excitement, and Rong pursed her mouth with lack of interest, but her silence didn't last long.

"By the way, master, you see that Wanjing is also back now, and Yingying will come back in a while, when will we let our family Junjun go out to see the world?"

Old Man Lin didn't pay attention to the third aunt who was chattering, but looked at Lin Wanjing and said, "This person who has just returned home is dusty, do you want to go take a bath and change your clothes first?" ”

Lin Wanjing listened to the voiceover, and it was inconvenient for her to hear something, so she responded and pulled her mother upstairs. Closing the door, I could still faintly hear the conversation in the living room downstairs.

"Didn't I tell you that the situation is not peaceful now, how many times do you have to say it before you can listen to it?" This sentence was asked by Mr. Lin, "Besides, our family has not paid a cent for Wanjing and Yingying's study abroad." Our family is in business, and the money is all on the assembly line, where does the spare money come from to catch up with the fashion. ”

Yourong snorted lightly: "That is, I am not as lucky as Wan Jing, I am greedy for a noble godfather, and I am no better than the second sister, I have a rich and powerful mother." Amazing, I earn my own money for my son to go abroad. ”

"It's good, that's your son, if you have this mind, I will support you as much principal as you want."

You Rong didn't think that she would touch a gray nose, so she shut down, but the silence did not last long, but she saw her eyes roll, and she came to the side of Old Man Lin, and her white and slender arms wrapped around the old man's neck:

"That'...... Or I'll move back in. The place where I live now is indeed far away from Jun'er's school, and the surrounding environment is not good......"

"You're only thinking about it now?" Old Man Lin didn't break free, leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile, "You were the one who said that you couldn't stand the noisy family and wanted to move out, and you were the one who picked the house and said that it was quiet enough, so come and chew your tongue with me at this time?" ”

"Oops...... At that time, you were not sensible, you still care about these things with me~~" Rong Jiao sneered, and leaned in front of Old Man Lin again, "I'm not thinking, I'm moving back, I can better serve you by being closer to you." ”

This is indeed what he heard, Old Man Lin snorted with a smile: "Okay, you can do it yourself." ”

"And then there's ......"

"What else?"

"Zhilan has been in Tanzhou for a few years with Xiao'er......" Yourong carefully observed Old Man Lin's expression, and saw that his expression was not different, so he boldly said, "That place in Tanzhou is wet and cold in winter, and Zhilan has bad legs and feet, so it's not a way to let her stay there......"

"Why did you mention her to me?" Old Man Lin snorted coldly, put down the tea bowl, and squinted at her. "That's her and her precious son's choice, what does it have to do with me? Don't mention her to me, she will get angry! White-eyed wolf, what's the use of being good to the two of them? What's the use of talking about it? I have no conscience since I was a child, both mother and son! ”

"Oops...... Master, it was all so many years ago...... Xiao'er was not sensible at that time, so don't hold grudges......" Seeing that Old Man Lin was really angry, Yourong hurriedly raised his hand to caress his chest.

"That's right! I hold a grudge! I remember the enmity of their mothers! Have they read me? She doesn't scarce my things, and I don't scarce him! It's not the seedling of our Lin family, he likes to go with whomever surname, don't come here to hug my thigh! ”

Seeing that she had said something she shouldn't have said, she closed her mouth in amusement, and the hall was quiet for a while, except for the ticking of the pendulum clock.

Lin Wanjing listened to the sound downstairs, the comb in her hand was combed on her long hair one by one, Mo Zhidong could see that her mind was on the conversation downstairs, put down the clothes in her hand and went to the door to close the lightly closed door.

"Mom, just now my little mother said that Aunt Zhilan would come back, did you think my father would agree?" Lin Wanjing asked while picking up the beads in the box.

Mo Zhidong was silent for a long time before saying, "What do you think?" ”

"I think so......" Lin Wanjing thought for a moment, "I think it's good to let my aunt come back." Although the eldest brother and I are not related by blood, in any case, he is also the adopted son of his father who visited the ancestral hall, and besides, now is the time when he needs someone to take care of the business......"

"Who said it wasn't......" Mo Zhidong responded like this, but he didn't know what to think about, so he didn't have any follow-up, but just took the bead flower handed by Lin Wanjing and pinned it for her, and changed the topic, "There will be a market in a few days, Mom will take you to buy a few new ones, and then a few new clothes, how about it?" ”

Lin Wanjing responded with a hello, and her intuition told her that Mo Zhidong was deliberately avoiding this topic, so she stopped talking and ended the slightly embarrassing conversation.

Liufu Annex, Yukuntai.

"I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it!" The woman's shrill screams echoed through the empty hallway, accompanied by panicked footsteps, rushing down the stairs.

"Madame!" Behind the woman was chasing three or five maids.

The woman spun around in the foyer, and all the flowers that had just been replaced on the table were swept to the floor, and there were shards of porcelain on the ground.

"Madame! Watch your step! The maids chased after her, not daring to reach out and pull her, but also fearing that she would be scratched by the debris.

Just as the confrontation between the two sides heated up, the door opened.

"Young marshal!" As soon as the maids saw someone coming, they immediately stepped aside respectfully.

The woman's face was delighted when she heard the maids' cries, and then she turned around and threw herself into the arms of the young officer.

"Jin'er...... Where have you been? I can't find you, I'm so scared! ”

Liu Jin stroked the woman's shoulders and back, and her eyes quickly scanned the room.

"Where is this? Where is the big handsome? The woman said, "Shall we go back?" Does he not want us anymore? ”

"It's ...... again," Liu Jin let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Jin'er? You speak! Does the handsome don't want me anymore? ”

"Mom......" Liu Jin stretched out his hand to pull away the messy hair on the woman's forehead, "He didn't want you, it's not that he didn't want you." ”

Twenty years ago, Fu Shien couldn't bear the oppression of the She family, and offered to leave Liu's Mansion with her son, but she abandoned her husband.

"Then why didn't the big marshal come to me? Where did he go? ”

"He ......," Liu Jin was speechless for a while, "he's very busy." There's a lot of business, you know. ”

This sentence is not a lie, Liu Daolin can't say that he loves the people like a son, but he is also cautious about official affairs, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all.

"Oh......" the woman seemed to understand, "and he'll be back when he's done, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Okay, okay, he'll be back......" Fu Shien's eyes brightened up suddenly, "He's coming back!" yes, then how can I do that! I need to change my clothes! I need to take a shower! I'm going to do my hair too! Dashuai is coming back! Tasseling? Did you hear it, help me comb my hair! Dashuai is coming back! ”

"Ma'am, I'm here!" The maid named Yingluo hurriedly responded, and stepped forward to take Fu Shien from Liu Jin's hand, "What Madam said is that Dashuai is coming back, we have to hurry up and freshen up!" ”

"Yes, Yingluo, go get my cheongsam of Su brocade! Da Shuai likes that! Fu Shien commanded while holding the tassel upstairs, "Ah...... It's not good, it's not good, I want the bright yellow embroidery one! The handsome man said that I was in a very good shape in that dress! ”

"Okay, okay, madam, you take a shower first, take the medicine, and I'll find you clothes."

Fu Shien and Yingluo's voices disappeared at the end of the corridor, Liu Jin looked at the mess, and shook his head helplessly, his mother, the third aunt of the great warlord Liu Daolin, was crazy, crying and laughing, and being obedient and noisy.

"You got your wish?" Liu Jin clenched his right hand into a fist and hung heavily on the marble table.

The maids who were still standing on the side trembled all over their bodies, and they didn't dare to come out.

"I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you." Liu Jin sighed and asked one of the girls, "Madam, what's going on?" ”

"We don't know," the girl shook her head, "Sister Yingluo persuaded Madame to take medicine, but Madame suddenly made a fuss, and she couldn't stop it." ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he sighed again, "Okay, it's okay, clean up here, and let Yingluo take care of it." ”

"Yes......" The maids didn't dare to speak more, and scattered to find tools.

Liu Jin walked to the window alone, the sunlight outside the window was just right, the haze at dawn had long been gone, he pushed the window open, the sunlight immediately poured in, scattered him all over the place, he closed his eyes, and seemed to enjoy it very much.

"These are our private possessions! According to the constitution of the British Empire, private property is sacrosanct! ”

I don't know why, Lin Wanjing's words suddenly broke into his mind, and he laughed, that girl, it's really funny to think about.

"Joan." Liu Jin casually called the name of one of the maids.

"What do you command?" Qiongge put down the broom and came to Liu Jin's side, standing with her hands covered.

"Do you remember the last time I took my wife out?"

"This ......" Qiong Ge locked his eyebrows and thought for a long time, "September 18, it's been a few days......"

"Then I told Yingluo that I want to take Madame out for a walk in a few days. Let her prepare in advance. ”

"Are you going to the market?"

"Oh? Is there a market in a few days? ”

"Hmmm! The young marshal is busy with official business, and he will definitely not remember. I thought that if the young marshal took his wife to relax, his wife would definitely be happy! ”

Liu Jin didn't reply anymore, although he was still a little worried, but he thought that Fu Shien would be happy, so he didn't want to think about it anymore.
