After Chen Datong left, Lin Shikang came back.

Lin Miao saw him and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, how is it?" Is it to shake hands and make peace or not to get along? ”

Lin Shikang knocked Lin Miao's head, "How can people who have known most of their lives not get along with each other when they are old and dead?" ”

"You're all childhood sweethearts?" Although Lin Miao had already guessed, she was still shocked.

"Lin, Chen, Ge, and Xing are the four major families in Chunling City, and we have been friends since childhood."

Lin Miao of Gefu has been there, it is indeed very profound, and the Chen Mansion is also passable, at least the area is large, the Lin family and the Xing family...

Lin Shikang sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "If you want to become a family, you have to have at least a hundred years of operation, and you can do it in an instant if you want to destroy a family." ”

Lin Miao nodded in agreement, she had also seen living examples.

Lin Shikang put down the teacup as he spoke, his eyes staring at the painting on the table, his gaze was a little far-reaching, as if he was caught in a memory.

Lin Miao didn't disturb him, and sat down and waited on the side.

After a while, Lin Shikang said: "A few decades ago, our four major families had their own operations in Chunling. ”

"Later, after the civil war, my father decided to move his family to Beijing, and the Xing family also chose to move to Beijing because they were in-laws with our family."

"The Ge family hesitated for a few days, and because they didn't give up their foundation, they didn't go, and the Chen family left a small half of them to continue their ancestral business in Chunling."

"Now it seems that they made the right choice."

After the Lin Xing family arrived in Beijing, the Lin family continued to open a medical hall to sell medicines, and soon broke out of the sky.

"The Xing family," Lin Shikang sighed when he said this, "At that time, the war was fierce, the cloth business was not good, and the Xing family had been eating their old books for several years. ”

"Later, although it settled down, business was still not doing well."

"Probably because of this, when they learned that Miao'er could have a chance to enter the palace, they completely lost their minds."

"And then?" Lin Miao asked.

Just now I said that the Lin family has gained a firm foothold in Beijing, what is the situation now?

"What?" Lin Shikang didn't know what Lin Miao wanted to ask.

"Later, what about the people of the Lin family? Why did you come back to Chunling? ”

"This is a long story, let's not talk about the past." After Lin Shikang finished speaking, he began to sort out the information, obviously not wanting to mention the past again.

Although Lin Miao wanted to know, she was also a sensible child, so if others didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask, so she stood up and walked out, "Grandpa, I have something to deal with." ”

Lin Shikang looked over, "By the way, Xiao Miao, our two families have agreed, you live in Chen's house on 135, you live in Lin's house on 246, and you live in medical school on Sunday." ”

Lin Miao stumbled, what the hell is this? Where was Sunday in ancient times? No, that's not the point, the point is why is she tossing so much?

"Grandpa..."

"Just hear that, go get busy." Lin Shikang's gaze returned to the information, looking attentive.

Lin Miao turned around and came back, "Grandpa, how can you make such a decision?" How hard it is for me to run around, otherwise, I won't go to the Lin family at all, and I'll live in medical school. ”

After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, it's convenient here." ”

Lin Shikang turned his head to look at Lin Miao, "I don't care, as long as you're not afraid of your grandmother's tears drowning you." ”

"I lived in Chen's house before, and she didn't say anything." Lin Miao muttered.

"That was before, and now you said that you are going to live in the Lin family, and she is looking forward to it."

"Then wouldn't it be good if I only lived in the Lin family."

"You only live in the Lin family, your grandmother is happy, but you don't care about your grandmother Chen?"

"Grandpa, I don't know Grandma Chen well, and I haven't said a few words..."

Before Lin Miao finished speaking, the voice of Old Lady Chen came from the door.

"Are you familiar with Xiao Rong and the old man?"

Lin Miao looked over when she heard this, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Grandpa Chen, what you asked, of course I am very familiar with you." ”

"Then why you don't live in my house, why are you moving out? Disgusted with my family? ”

Lin Miao puffed out her mouth and struggled for a while, and said, "Grandpa Chen, I'll just say it directly, I don't think Grandma Chen likes me, so I don't want to live in your house anymore, so as not to embarrass you." ”

Old Lady Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "Your Grandma Chen likes you very much, this old man can promise you." ”

Then she looked at me with disgust. Lin Miao didn't believe it.

"She is such a person who is different from the outside, the more she dislikes it on the surface, the more she likes it in her heart, and when she didn't get married, she looked at the old man with a disgust." Speaking of the past, Mrs. Chen smiled with her eyebrows.

Lin Miao was interested, sat back in her chair and asked, "What about later?" How did you get married? ”

"Later, later, the Lin family told her that she didn't want several excellent men, and her father, that is, the old man's father-in-law, was on fire, and asked her what she wanted to do? She said she wanted to marry her husband. ”

Lin Miao burst into laughter, "I didn't expect Grandma Chen to be so cute when she was young." ”

"She used to be a strong little naughty, and when she lost to us, she practiced every day, and she had to beat us."

Lin Miao was a little surprised, "Grandma Chen still plays pitching pots?" I thought she had been holding since she was a child..."

Speaking of this, Old Lady Chen's face darkened, "Jingshi respects the rules, the old man's official position is not high, she married the old man, she has to salute anyone she sees, and no one can offend..."

“……”

It turned out that because of this, Lin Miao made up her mind and resolutely did not go to Jingshi to be abused.

After saying this, Old Lady Chen changed the topic and said: "Xiao Rong and I have three sons, no girl has been born in our Chen Mansion so far, Xiao Rong definitely likes you." ”

"Yesterday, I was thinking about making winter clothes for you, and I moved several baskets of cloth waiting for you to go back and pick them up, but you didn't come back, and she was disappointed for a long time."

Lin Miao is a child who lacks love, and as soon as Old Lady Chen's words came out, she couldn't say anything to refuse.

glanced at Lin Shikang, who had been smiling and not speaking, and said, "Okay, I'm one-three-five, I'll live in one family every other day, and be a well-behaved, cute and filial granddaughter." ”

Seeing Lin Miao's response, Lin Shikang remembered her words before going out, and said, "Didn't you just say that you had something to deal with?" ”

Lin Miao slapped her head, "I almost forgot, I'll go out." "After that, he left.

…………

Night, as promised.

The damp and cold government prison, the wind blowing in the hall is whirring.

At the entrance, two officials sat side by side, whispering something.

A lantern hung above their heads, and the wind swayed from side to side.

This is the only lighting tool in the prison.

There was a clatter of footsteps, and the two officials stood up and waited for the man to come down the stairs.

After a while, a man in his thirties, also in uniform, walked under the lantern and said, "Sit down, I'll go and inspect it." ”

The two of them sat back in their seats and began to whisper again.

After the man left the sight of the two, he turned his feet and walked in the other direction.
