Chapter 9: Magnolia
When Lin Xun saw the young man in the courtyard, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and the thousands of words that had turned a hundred times in his mouth turned into a blank at this moment. Lin Xun's lips kept chattering and opening his mouth, but in the end he still didn't make a sound. Her eyes were fixed on the young man in front of her, and the mist in her eyes was surging. In fact, Lin Xun and Lin Lei are the same age.
But the boy developed late, and Lin Lei's body was like a little boy in his early 10s. The appearance of the Lin family has always been very good, but Lin Lei's figure is not open, but he can also see that his facial features are Zhouzheng, his eyebrows are delicate, and he has a good appearance. Lin Xun still remembers that it was such a boy with beautiful eyebrows and eyes who was ruthlessly killed by a fire.
In the previous life, Teng Zixing, the third prince, deliberately said in front of Lin Xun that the melons in the frontier were delicious, the temperature difference between day and night was large, the sugar of the melons was not easy to be consumed, and the melons over there were particularly crisp and sweet. Teng Zixing muttered a few times in front of her that she wanted to eat, so she stupidly begged her grandmother and father, just for the man's casual appetite.
It happened to be Lin Xun's mother's death day, Lin Tianzheng looked at his daughter's begging appearance, and then thought about how he hadn't taken care of her for more than ten years, and his heart softened, so he launched a relationship, and rushed to the frontier to buy honeydew melons for eight hundred miles.
Who knows, there will be trouble this time, and the eight hundred miles of urgency to get it is not a melon, but a life talisman! Halfway through, the melon was stopped and found to be hiding a letter from the enemy. Overnight, the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Legion, and it did not leak!
Treason with the enemy, a great sin for the country! If the left minister commits a crime, he should be tried in three halls and handed over to Dali Temple! Finally, the Holy Father tried and convicted.
It's also strange to say, after the accident, the saint only issued a secret decree at that time, writing that the Zuo Xiang worked hard and made great contributions, and the country had meritorious service, and in order to maintain the face of the prince, he gave the country a heart attack and died. In this way, there were no three sessions of trial, and there was no opportunity to justify, so he was given poisoned wine by such a secret decree, and died of "heart disease", and died in the prime of life, which is very strange. Leaving Lin Xun and Lin Lei at a loss.
After learning the news, Mrs. Lin fainted on the spot and suffered a recurrence of heart disease. The Lin Mansion was in chaos all of a sudden, Lin Tianxiang stood up, took the opportunity to grasp the power of the Lin Mansion, and with a wave of his hand, he looted all the money and land of Lin Tianzheng.
Lin Tianxiang said to the outside world that Lin Tian was killed by Lin Xun, an unfilial woman, because she had a heart attack that wanted to eat melons from the frontier, and she was removed from the Lin Mansion, and none of Lin Tianzheng's money was taken by Lin Xun's sisters and brothers.
At that time, Lin Xun was already infamous, and no one in the whole capital came out to help her, and no one defended her, including her husband at the time, the prince Teng Tianhao. After Lin Xun lost her father's big boat, without support, everyone could slander her to their heart's content.
At this time, Lin Wan'er set a fire and burned Lin Xun's home in the Lin Mansion, wanting to completely erase Lin Tianzheng's traces in the Lin Mansion and wipe out the annoying woman from her vitality.
Lin Lei saw the fire spreading at that time, and knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, but he knew that his sister liked the sycamore silk jade and the matching jade bracelet the most, which was a gift from her grandmother. He rushed into the fire, wanting to save some thoughts for his sister. Helplessly, the fire was too big, and Lin Lei's small body was quickly engulfed by the fire.
By the time Lin Lei was discovered, he had already become a charred corpse, and if it weren't for the jade pendant that Lin Xun was holding tightly in his hand, it would be difficult for others to recognize.
The grandmother, who was sick in bed, couldn't stand it anymore when she heard such bad news, and her health became worse and worse, and she passed away not long after.
Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feast guests, seeing his building collapse! This moss and green tile pile, I once slept and slept well, and I saw the rise and fall of fifty years.
The once romantic left-hand vein disappeared from the world. Lin Xun's grandmother, father, and younger brother were all killed under the calculations of the third prince Teng Zixing and Lin Wan'er.
Lin Xun thought of this, and he couldn't help but use a blunt knife to cut off a few pieces of flesh on this pair of X men and women.
Fortunately, now everything is fine, everything is still in time, Lin Xun broke free from the memory, exhaled a light breath and looked at the weak Chinese teenager in the courtyard, raised a gentle smile, and shouted "Alei"
Lin Lei raised his head when he heard this, a little dazed, and a little surprised, "Sister? There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but his body immediately leaned behind the plane tree.
This little face is like an overturned five-flavor plate, happy, confused and a little uneasy. It's just a pair of dark eyes that shimmer with surprise, betraying the truest feelings in his heart.
Lin Xun looked at his younger brother's appearance, smiled, and felt a little sour in his heart, "Ah Lei, what are you doing?"
Lin Lei looked up at his sister, the boy's unique voice was like a green seedling that had just broken the ground, with the freshness of being sharpened, "Sister, I'm here...."Lin Lei took out the hand hidden behind his back, "For you, sister,..... Magnolia, I know you like it. I hope my sister's illness will get better soon. ”
The magnolia symbolizes pure and beautiful feelings, and also symbolizes this noble character. This is the bouquet that Lin Xun has loved since he was a child.
Lin Xun looked at the pure white blooming in Lin Lei's hand, and didn't know what it tasted like in his heart, "Silly Ah Lei," her Ah Lei always remembered what she liked, but unfortunately she was jealous that Lin Lei could be with her father, and she never remembered what her younger brother liked.
She wasn't a competent sister before.
Lin Xun looked at the pure white that had been stuffed into his hand, and his voice was hoarse, "I like it, the magnolia picked by Ah Lei is the best." ”
Hearing that his sister encouraged him, Lin Lei's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Lin Lei's face rubbed a little mud spot somewhere, maybe he accidentally got it when he was picking flowers just now, it looked a little ruined Lin Lei's sense of beauty, Lin Xun stretched out his hand and gently touched Lin Lei's face, "Little mud monkey, so careless, I was seen by my father and I was going to scold you again"
Lin Lei felt the gentle movement of his sister's hand on his face, and he didn't dare to move, all this seemed to be a dream, he was afraid that he would wake up from this dream when he moved.
He knew that his biological mother had given birth to both of them before she died of blood. And he was loved and raised by his father, but his sister did not. He knew that his sister hated him, and he felt guilty about it.
He has always wanted to please Lin Xun, but he didn't dare to face him directly, and he has been in a very contradictory struggle.
Lin Xun too, if it weren't for the fact that his grandmother had always deliberately eased the mustard between the two siblings and kept letting Lin Xun take a look at Lin Lei, Lin Xun would not have gone to find his younger brother at all. As soon as Lin Xun saw Lin Lei, he remembered his father's indifference and ruthlessness to him, which was what she lacked and longed for in her childhood.
If she hadn't survived to the end in her previous life, she wouldn't have known that her brother cared so much about her sister.
