Chapter 166: Childhood sweetheart
In the lotus leaf courtyard next to the Linshui Temple, Chen Shuling was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard embroidering, thinking about the recent wind and breath, her eyebrows were soft, and she unconsciously laughed out loud. Looking at this, Xiao Yue'er, the personal maid who was packing up the embroidery needles and flowers on the side, pouted: "Miss, the Lin family's reputation has been flying all over the world recently, but why hasn't Lin Gongzi come to you yet?" Isn't it a new high place, famous and glorious... Forgot about you..."
"Xiao Nizi, what nonsense, Brother Xiu is not that kind of person!"
Chen Shuling hurriedly denied it, but she was distracted for a while, and the needle penetrated her finger to make her frown, Rao is fingertips were painful and her heart, but she still spoke for her sweetheart: "He is now a general, and he will return to the north this time, and there must be a lot of affairs, how can he delay the business because of his children's affection... That would make the gentry of the four places famous and laughing... You... Do today's embroidery work honestly, don't worry about my mood..."
"Miss, it's not all for you!"
Xiao Yue'er came over and sat down: "Now that you leave the Chen Mansion, the lord and the lady don't ask, it will not be good for you in the long run... If Lin Gongzi also ignores you, let outsiders see, what should I think of you... What can you do..."
Listening to this, Chen Shu's mind changed instantly, but she was full of affection, she smiled softly: "No... God wouldn't do that to me... Brother Xiu will definitely come to marry me... I've been waiting for more than twenty years... Why not? ”
"But you still have to be careful... I heard that the officials of Linxi County and Beihe County seem to be interested in pulling the media for Lin Xiu... It is our county Cheng'an Lord, it seems that he also wants to marry his little daughter to Lin Gongzi, Miss, so many rumors, not afraid of people talking, afraid of coming true, after all, he Lin Gongzi is not the same as before, those officials all want to climb high branches... In case of... Lin Gongzi was in a state of confusion for a while... You can do just that... So we can't afford to guard against this..."
Rao is Xiao Yue'er is anxious, but Chen Shuling is still indifferent, she smiled lightly and embroidered, and didn't listen to Xiao Yue'er's words at all.
At this time, the courtyard door sounded, Xiao Yue'er stopped chattering and went to open the door, but the moment the door opened, she was stunned, Chen Shuling put down the embroidery, and said, "Yue'er, who is coming?" ”
In front of the door, Chen Yu stood with his hands behind his back, and Xiao Yue'er said in awe: "Old... My lord is well..."
Chen Yu nodded, jumped into the courtyard, that Chen Shuling saw Chen Yu, Fang Cai's indifferent face suddenly tightened, Chen Yu looked gloomy at this, after a short look at each other, Chen Shuling said: "Yue'er, go and serve tea to the county magistrate!" ”
"Hey... Hey..."Xiao Yue'er ran towards the stove room in response, Chen Yu sighed when she heard it, and sat down closely: "Ling'er, you and my father and daughter, why did you come to this point?" ”
"My daughter doesn't know either!" Chen Shuling responded calmly, and the two of them were speechless for a while, but Chen Yu came here because he was worried, and after a while, he took the lead in speaking: "The Yu family wanted to come to see you, but I stopped you!" ”
"Good stop, even if she comes, I won't see her!"
Chen Shuling looked up at Chen Yu, even though her thin and tired face was still quite delicate, but the appearance of the former official lady had faded a lot in the life of living alone for more than a month, which made Chen Yu feel uncomfortable.
"Ling'er, have you heard, Lin Xiufeng will be transferred to Linshui, and he will not enter the Lincheng official system by exercising his power alone, and now An He has started to build a camp for him in Linshui Dongshan..."
"My daughter doesn't understand this, so my father doesn't need to talk about it, and besides... What does Brother Xiu do, his daughter will only wait for him and support him..."
Looking at Chen Yu's cramped appearance, Chen Shuling sneered: "At the beginning, the Yu family looked down on Brother Xiu, thinking that he was a businessman and a lowly breed with a false name. Dad, my daughter asked you, is Brother Xiu still a lowly breed now? ”
"This..."Chen Yu was dumbfounded, but Lin Sheng's rumors made Chen Yu worried, and as a last resort, Chen Yu said stiffly: "Ling'er, Dad knows that he was negligent to you in the past, but it is not easy for the Chen family to have today... The Yu family certainly makes you hateful, but she is your brother's mother, and my father hopes that you will look at the past and don't let Tingbi go the same way as you... If... If Lin Xiu is really jealous of the past, she needs to find the cause... If you say a word, your father will bear it..."
Hearing this, Chen Shuling hated and felt pity, and in the end, all this heart turned into muddy tears, flowing out of his face: "Dad... You also know your daughter's suffering... But why don't you have a heart... Now Yu is afraid... For Chen Tingbi... You even said such a thing... You... Fatherhood in vain... You... Let my daughter be angry..."
As soon as these words fell, a bell sounded in front of the courtyard gate: "Sister Shuling... Sister Shuling..."
Hearing this, Chen Shuling quickly wiped away the tears and got up, and the next second, Lin Xiyue jumped in with a smile, but Lin Xiyue was stunned when she saw Chen Yu, and Rao Chen Yu got up and said, "Miss Lin San..."
"The county... Lin Xiyue was a little afraid of these officials, so she said: "My third aunt came to invite Sister Shuling to go to the house for a talk... I don't think the county order is in... What a disturbance..."
"No problem!" Chen Yu smiled, and let him rush to Chen Shuling and said: "Ling'er, I don't have much to say for my father, I just hope that you will look at the thin side of being a father, so that the Yu family will be safe..."
After Chen Yu left, Chen Shuling walked up to Xiyue and looked at her with a kind face: "The third aunt asked me to go to the house to talk about it, isn't there something wrong?" ”
Lin Xiyue was suspicious of Chen Yu's words, so she said casually: "Sister Shuling, you don't have to be afraid of the old woman of the Yu family, if she dares to do anything to you again, I told my eldest brother, if I don't ask my eldest brother to come forward, my eldest brother will be able to clean her up..."
"What nonsense? At such a young age, how can you have such a spleen..."Chen Shuling smiled and played Lin Xiyue's brain: "My daughter's family, you must be more stable in the future, otherwise how will you marry when you grow up..."
"Hey, hey... I don't want to get married, I want to follow my big brother to become a general! In a joke, Lin Xiyue took Chen Shuling and Xiao Yue'er to the car outside the hospital, just walking, Chen Shuling found that the path was wrong.
"Xiyue, are you hiding something from your sister, this doesn't seem to be the way to the Lin Mansion!"
Rao is Lin Xiyue smiled and made a grimace: "Linshui North Hill, Spring Blowing Gangzi Mountain, Moonfall Red Leaf Maple... I don't know if Sister Shuling still remembers! ”
With just one word, Chen Shuling's heart surged, after a short period of distraction, she picked up the curtain of the car and looked far away, the car drove to the place of memory, looking at the Gangzi Hill with more and more obvious outlines in the distance, vaguely, she saw the fiery red maple tree, with the deep love, under the tree, a thin figure stood like a green pine.
At this point, Xiao Yue'er reacted, and immediately said loudly: "Miss... It's Lin Gongzi, it's Lin Gongzi looking for you..."
