The little girl let go of the frightened rabbit and immediately let go of the hand that was holding Lin Jinjun's sleeve. Slightly lowered his head, his hands rubbed uneasily.

Lin Zhuohua retracted his gaze, looking at his brother with a smile in his eyes.

"Brother, who is this little girl?"

When Lin Jinjun saw his sister coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. Reaching out to straighten out the broken hair on her forehead, she frowned.

"What are you doing on such a cold day? If there is something to ask people to come and say, my brother will just go over. ”

My sister has been afraid of the cold since the last time she fell into the water, and he can't bear it. As he spoke, he took her hand, turned around and went into the house. When I passed by the little girl, I seemed to remember that there was another person.

"You come in too."

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the corners of the little girl's crimson eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

This little girl has tender skin and can pinch out water, and her hands are even more white and delicate, not at all like a child from a poor family.

The little girl glanced at Lin Zhuohua timidly, and then followed Lin Jinjun closely, as if she could eat her.

The dry and warm heat in the room came to his face, and Lin Zhuohua's snow-white and cold little face eased a little.

"Bring a cup of hot milk to the kitchenette." Lin Jinjun pulled his sister to sit down on the low couch, and then instructed the long-term followers around him.

Lin Zhuohua sat on the low couch, and then asked again: "This little girl is good-looking, who is it?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Jinjun glanced at the little girl who was shrinking to the side, and said softly: "Lingxin is here." ”

The little girl came over shyly and timidly when she heard this, and then blessed her body and whispered: "The slave maid greets the eldest lady." ”

Lin Zhuohua looked at her and didn't scream, but looked sideways at Lin Jinjun and said, "Big brother, did you quarrel with Sister Jiayan?" I saw that she was not in a very good mood these days, and said that she would be in Ruiguo after the New Year. ”

Lin Jinjun was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect her to be so angry, and even prepared to go back after the New Year.

"I didn't mean to her off, either." He moved the corners of his mouth, and then whispered, and then his eyes fell on the little girl, with a bit of pity in his eyes: "It's just that Lingxin's background is too pitiful, so I reached out to help her." ”

The little girl raised her head when she heard this, and looked at him with red eyes. His eyes were full of gratitude, and then he knelt on the ground with a normal sound.

"Miss, the slave is sincerely grateful to the eldest young master for coming to the rescue. The slave maid had nothing else to think about, she just wanted to stay by the eldest young master's side to repay her kindness. ”

Lin Zhuohua raised his eyebrows when he heard this, just smiled coldly, and then looked at his eldest brother: "Big brother, do you like Sister Jiayan?" ”

Lin Jinjun originally wanted to let Lingxin get up, but when he heard Lin Zhuohua's words, his face turned red, and then he said a little shyly: "I like it." ”

He was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he couldn't say in front of his sister.

"Since my brother likes it, why do you make Sister Jiayan unhappy? Just because of a little girl? If the elder brother wants to help this little girl, there is no need to bring it back to the Gongfu and stay by his side to serve. ”

You can't talk to her eldest brother in a roundabout way, you can only say it clearly.

"What's there to be angry about just helping a little girl?"

Lin Jinjun has never been able to understand this problem, he feels that there is nothing at all. This little girl has a strange and pitiful background, and she happened to be bumped into by him, but it was just a gesture, and she looked well-behaved and clever and not the kind of person with impure minds.

Lin Zhuohua really knelt down for her big brother, and sure enough, this man and woman had different thoughts.

Lin Zhuohua sighed and asked, "If you swap things with Sister Qin, she saved a man to stay by her side, and she treats the other party very well, are you angry?" ”

Lin Jinjun thought for a moment, if it was really Qin Jiayan who took in a man and treated the other party very well, he should also be very angry.

After empathy, he seemed to understand something.

"Big brother, think about it yourself." After speaking, she looked down at the little girl who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and said softly: "Get up, my eldest brother kindly gave you money to bury your father." But you made my eldest brother embarrassed and made the people he liked angry with her. You're not repaying the favor, and I'm sure your father doesn't want you to be someone else's subordinate. ”

The little aunt lowered her head, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. But when I raised my head again, I was really panicked and helpless, tears were rinsing and falling, and with that gentle and harmless little face, it was distressing to death.

It's a pity that Lin Zhuohua is not a man, and he doesn't have those pity and cherishing jade, and at this time, Lin Jinjun was trapped in his own thoughts, so naturally he didn't see the little girl's cute little face.

"Miss, I didn't want to destroy the relationship between the eldest young master and that Miss Qin. Lingxin's life was saved by the eldest young master, and the slave just wanted to stay with the eldest young master to repay the favor, if it caused trouble to the eldest young master, then Lingxin would leave. ”

Lin Jinjun retracted his thoughts when he heard the voice, and looked at the little girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain. sighed and said, "Since I saved you, I naturally won't ignore you." But my sister is right, helping you doesn't have to let you stay with me. I have been in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing all year round and rarely go home. If you want, follow my mother, and she will arrange everything for you. ”

He was really careless, and it was really not a good idea for this little girl to stay with him. But since he saved it, he naturally can't ignore it, and it is best to leave it to his mother to arrange.

Lin Zhuohua had been secretly staring at the little girl, and sure enough, a touch of unwillingness flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she hooked the corners of her mouth, she was really a person with an impure mind.

"I ...... The slave and maid listened to the arrangement of the eldest young master. ”

Although the little girl was unwilling in her heart, she still responded obediently and skillfully. As long as you can stay in the Guogong Mansion, then you have a chance......

She glanced at Lin Zhuohua out of the corner of her eye, and secretly hated in her heart, it was all her plan to disrupt her.

"Since my brother has made a decision, then you go down and pack your things, and I'll take you to my mother's side later."

Lingxin bit his lip and retreated. When he walked to the door, he heard Lin Zhuohua's voice behind him.

"Big brother, you better coax Sister Qin, otherwise when she really leaves, you should regret it."

"But how do you coax her? I've never coaxed a woman ......"

Lin Jinjun opened his mouth with some embarrassment, since he was thrown into the barracks, he was surrounded by big rough men, and he had long forgotten how to make women happy.

The brother and sister got together, and Lin Zhuohua began to give ideas to his eldest brother.

Lingxin lowered his eyes and walked away.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the departing figure out of the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

After the brother and sister finished discussing, Lin Jinjun asked, "Sister doesn't like Lingxin?" ”

Lin Zhuohua was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "No, I just think that girl doesn't look like a child from a poor family, you look at her skin, especially her hands, which are not a working hand." ”

Hearing his sister say this, Lin Jinjun thought about it carefully, and it was really the case. The little girl looked innocent and harmless, especially when she laughed, it made people feel a sense of intimacy. Although she was dressed in shabby, she was very clean and fresh.

"Maybe it's an official lady in the middle of the road."

After thinking about it, this is probably the only possibility.

When Lin Zhuohua heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked: "If it is an official lady who is in the middle of the family, she will not be willing to commit herself to slavery." ”

"You mean, her purpose is not pure?" Lin Jinjun frowned and asked.

Lin Zhuohua shrugged: "I didn't say it, it's just a guess, and we still need to observe how it is." But she can't stay with you, and there's no woman who doesn't care about that. If Yi Xiang saves a woman in front of me and then stays by his side, I will never pay attention to him again in this life. ”

Lin Jinjun twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's all my fault this time." ”

Lin Zhuohua came out of Lin Jinjun's courtyard and walked towards his mother's yard with a well-behaved spiritual core.

Mrs. Lin was talking to a few stewards, and when she saw her come in, everyone dispersed. patted the position next to him and said with a smile: "It's rare to see you come out on this cold day, but what's the matter?" ”

Lin Zhuohua sat down next to his mother, and then spoke: "This is the little girl rescued by my brother, and my eldest brother is in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing all the year round, so let me send someone to my mother and let you arrange a lighter job for her, and you don't need to sign a death deed, just count as a helper." ”

Mrs. Lin also heard that her son brought back a little girl, and she heard that her son was very good to the little girl.

"What's your name?"

Mrs. Lin looked at the shy and timid little girl in front of her, as if she could scare the other party if she was louder. Although she looks clean and well-behaved, she doesn't like this little girl for some reason, which always reminds her of Lin Youran.

"The slave is called Lingxin." Her voice is very good, and it is comfortable to listen to.

Mrs. Lin smiled in her heart, disliking less. This little girl looks gentle and harmless, she can't see such a thing, she wants to be like Lin Youran.

"You stay with me for now, and I'll arrange for you to come over when you see a suitable spot."

"Thank you, ma'am." Lingxin hurriedly blessed his body, with gratitude in his eyes: "It was the eldest young master who saved the slave and gave money so that the slave and maid could bury their father." The slave and maid are very grateful to the eldest young master, and the lady asks the slave and maid to do whatever the slave and maid do. ”

Mrs. Lin nodded, seeing that the little girl was still well-behaved, and said with a gentle smile on her face: "You go down with Mama first, and she will arrange a place for you to live." ”

After waiting for the people to go down, Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter: "Don't you like that spirit core?" ”

Lin Zhuohua was stunned, why did his mother ask the same as his brother. She pondered for a while, she couldn't say that Sister Qin quarreled with her brother because of this little girl, right? She was afraid that her mother's impression of Sister Qin would be discounted because of this incident, which would be bad.

"Mother, now everyone is saying that my brother is different from others to this little girl. My brother now has a good relationship with my sister of the Qin family, but I'm afraid that she will misunderstand. ”

Mrs. Lin lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment: "Leave this matter to my mother, and I will never let her appear in front of your brother and Jiayan again." ”

She could see that her son liked Qin Jiayan. As for Qin Jiayan, she still likes it after getting along. has a generous temperament, and she can rest assured that the back house of the Guogong Mansion will be handed over to her in the future.

Lin Zhuohua showed a bright smile and leaned on her shoulder: "Mother, you let people pay more attention to this little girl." The daughter always felt that her identity was a little suspicious, and she didn't look like a child from an ordinary family. ”

"Okay."

Lin Zhuohua had lunch at his mother's side before leaving, and immediately went into the quilt after returning to his yard.

Han Dong flashed out of the shadows and handed her a letter: "Miss, this is a letter sent by His Royal Highness, saying that it is urgent. ”

Lin Zhuohua took the letter and opened it, and after reading it, his brows furrowed tightly.

The antidote to the poison on his body was only a medicinal herb, and this medicinal herb was now in the hands of a hermit family. If they want it, they have to go there and ask for it.

But where is the hidden family so easy to enter, and I can't even find the specific location.

She asked Bai Yu to prepare pen and paper, quickly replied to the letter, and then handed it to Han Dong: "You quickly hand over the letter to Senior Brother." ”

Han Dong took the letter and immediately dodged away.

Lin Zhuohua leaned on the soft pillow, rubbing his eyebrows and pondering. She didn't know anything about the hermit family, whether it was this life or the previous life.

From the letter, she could see that Li Zeyi wanted to go to the south to inquire about the news in person.

Now there are two months left before the Chinese New Year, and he must rush back before the New Year.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Zhuohua was just about to rest, and when he saw Li Zeyi, who suddenly appeared next to his bed, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you here?"

Asking Bai Yu to step back, she sat on the edge of the bed and asked.

"After receiving your letter, I decided to come and talk to you about it."

Lin Zhuohua held his big hand, the cold touch made her shiver, and she held it tighter when he was about to withdraw it.

"You don't want me to go with you?"

She asked, tilting her head, frowning at him.

Li Zeyi moved the corners of his mouth, and was interrupted by her before he could speak.

"It's warmer in the south, much better than here. I'm afraid of the cold, so I can go there and live there for a while. ”

The warm little hand warmed his big cold hand, and at the same time melted his heart. His eyes were as gentle as water, with a bit of helplessness.

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, but you had to make it clear to your family. I don't know how long it will take to go this time. Maybe you won't be back until the Chinese New Year, and they can keep you away for that long? ”

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll get them to agree."

Lin Zhuohua's eyes flashed with a sly light, and when she received the letter, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

Li Zeyi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, we'll leave in three days." ”

His hand had already warmed up, and Lin Zhuohua also let go of his hand.

"Okay, get that herb in your hands this time, and your poison can be cured."

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the little girl was sleepy, he reluctantly left. As when he came, he did not alarm anyone.

Early the next morning, when Bai Yu came in from outside, she saw that her young lady's face was pale, and her cheeks were a little abnormally flushed. The lip flap is chapped and seems to be very uncomfortable.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" She stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, and her face changed: "How can it be so hot, Hongzhu go and call the doctor." Jade, you go and report to Madame. ”

Now that the four maids around her have been cultivated, any one of them can arrange things in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Lin received the news that her daughter was sick and immediately rushed here with someone. It's just that the news was not told to the old lady, and now it has just snowed, and although the snow has been cleared, it is still very slippery in some places.

Lin Shihong happened to be at home today, and when he heard the news, he immediately followed his wife.

By the time they arrived, the doctor had already seen Lin Zhuohua. However, the complexion was not too good, which made Mrs. Lin chuckle in her heart.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

"The eldest lady should have caught a cold at night and had a fever. It's just that the fever is a bit bad, if the fever doesn't go away tonight, I'm afraid it will ......."

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by Lin Shihong, who was standing behind.

"Our daughter will be fine."

Mrs. Lin slowed down, and immediately took out a jade pendant and handed it to the maid beside her: "Take this, go and invite the imperial doctor." ”

Soon the imperial doctor was invited, so it also alarmed everyone in the house. Every time he worked hard, everyone knew that Lin Zhuo had a fever, and if the fever didn't go away tomorrow, that person might not be able to do it.

The old lady came with someone, and the imperial doctor also arrived at this time.

The outer room was full of people at this time, all waiting for the results of the imperial doctor's examination. At this time, Li Zeyi also rushed to receive the news, the little girl was fine when he left yesterday, why did she suddenly get sick this morning.

The Imperial Physician came out of the inner chamber and said something similar to that of the doctor.

"If Miss Lin's fever subsides tomorrow, it will be fine, but it is very cold in winter here in Beijing, so it is best for her to go to the south to recuperate, and the warmth over there is good for her body."

Everyone knows that since the last time he fell into the lake, Lin Zhuoyan has been particularly afraid of the cold.

Mrs. Lin frowned slightly, the Guogong Mansion also has a mansion in the south. But let her daughter go to recuperate by herself, she couldn't worry about it, if it wasn't for a bunch of things in the Guogong Mansion, she would have accompanied her daughter.

Hearing the words of the imperial doctor, Li Zeyi's eyes flashed.

The little girl's illness can't be faked, right?

Just to find an excuse to go south!

Although he knew that this might be a ploy by the little girl, he was still a little worried, after all, the Tai Hospital had been cleaned up by his father and him, and the Tai Yi who stayed there now had good medical skills.

What if the little girl's illness wasn't faked......

"The king wants to go in and see her."

Mrs. Lin moved the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and seeing that the old lady and the old man did not object, she swallowed the words back.

Li Zeyi walked into the inner room and looked at the little girl with a pale face on the bed, and felt a pain in his heart. He reached out and touched her forehead, the hot heat making his heart tighten.

Bai Yu came in with a bowl of decoction at this time, and Li Zeyi took the decoction and fed her little by little.

After tossing for a long time, a bowl of medicine was spilled for half a bowl, and only fed into the bowl.

Li Zeyi didn't want to stay in it for too long, although he couldn't rest assured that the little girl was not at ease, he still came out first, thinking that he would come and take a look quietly in the evening.
