She nodded: "This recipe for roasting tea is indeed my own understanding." She stared at Zhong Lingming and asked, "Everyone else wants to obtain this recipe through one way or another." You're my brother, so you didn't think about letting me share it with you? ”

Zhong Lingming shook his head: "I have already discussed this matter with Ah Zhi. Sister, you work hard to support this family. Without you, our tea garden would have been out of business, and it would have been impossible to make so much money at once. We as brothers rely on you to live a good life, and we are already ashamed if we don't have good things to give to our sister, and we still covet our sister's things, are we still human? ”

He looked at Zhong Lingyu and said sincerely: "Sister, don't worry, we won't have any ideas." You can do what you want. If you think it's good among those who are courting, we don't have a problem with any of them. If you think they are not good and don't want to get married, then stay at home, and I will be with Ah Zhiyang for the rest of my life! ”

Just now, I was glad that my younger brother had grown up, but in a blink of an eye, I heard this childish word, Zhong Lingyu smiled angrily: "You will regret it when the time comes~."

"You are my younger brother, we are a family, I naturally won't hide this secret recipe for roasted tea from you. But we are on the cusp of the storm, there are many people, and the less people know about this matter, the better. So it is not yet appropriate for you to know. ”

Although he made up his mind not to want his sister's things, Su Shichang was still very moved when he heard Zhong Lingyu say this.

He shook his head firmly: "No, sister, you don't have to let us know. ”

Zhong Lingyu didn't want to have a senseless dispute with him, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't fight about this matter." Anyway, I won't get married for a while, let's work together to live a prosperous life, and when the time comes, if you want to give my sister more to marry, my sister won't refuse. ”

Zhong Lingming nodded vigorously: "I listen to my sister." ”

Zhuang Shi heard this on the side and was very pleased: "I am relieved that you sisters and brothers can be so considerate of each other." ”

"So, Madame is a blessing." Granny Lu also joked on the side.

"Let Zhou Anjiu send someone to bring the third young master back, and let's have a reunion dinner tonight." Zhong Lingyu turned his head and ordered Chunli.

Chunli took the order and left.

After a while, she came back, and said with a strange face: "Mrs. Ye and Young Master Ye are here, and they are asking to see each other outside the door." ”

The three ladies in the room were stunned, looked at each other, and saw the look of surprise on each other's faces.

"What are they doing here?" Zhong Lingyu asked with a calm face.

Chun Li shook his head: "Listening to the report from the concierge, Mrs. Ye brought a lot of gifts, and the attitude of the two of them was also very good, and they were kind to the subordinates who guarded the door." ”

"Nope!" , Zhong Lingyu's tone was very cold.

Chunli was about to go out, but Zhuang said, "Chunli, wait." She turned her head and looked at Zhong Lingyu, "Yu'er, I know that you are annoyed with what their family has done. But Master Ye used to be good friends with your father, and our two families can be regarded as good friends. Even if they are not in-laws, but since they have come to the door, it is not good for us to turn people away and not even see each other. ”

Zhong Lingyu pursed her lips and did not speak.

Granny Lu also said: "Miss, it was the Ye family's fault to withdraw from the family. But if we don't even let people in, I'm afraid that others will say that our family is unreasonable, and then we will put the crime of quitting our family on our back, and it will be bad. ”

Granny Lu has always been old, and she is wholeheartedly good to Zhong Lingyu. In terms of human sophistication, Zhong Lingyu knows a lot of things that she taught, and what she said, Zhong Lingyu is the most willing to listen.

Seeing that Grandma Lu also said this, Zhong Lingyu said, "That's okay, then invite them in." ”

She originally wanted to avoid going back and only let the Zhuang family receive her, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Mrs. Ye came here with her son, and she was not worried about any kindness. Zhuang's ears were soft, and he was bewitched by Mrs. Ye, so he might agree to something. Although Granny Lu is watching, Granny Lu is a subordinate after all, and she can't interject at the critical moment.

Chunli went out and invited Mrs. Li in, Zhong Lingming went out to receive Ye Xiaoqing, Zhong Lingyu helped Zhuang's family and went to the hall of the inner courtyard.

After a while, Mrs. Ye came in, wearing a cloud brocade embroidered flower dress on her upper body, a skirt of the same material, and a jewel on her head, as soon as she entered the door, her eyes fell on Zhong Lingyu's face, and she saw that her face was not only not spotted at all, but because it had grown a little longer, she had lost a little weight, but it was better than the original, her skin was fairer and more delicate, and her eyes were like autumn water, clear and translucent, and she was more radiant.

She had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

"Mrs. Ye, please take a seat." Zhuang's reception was courteous, "Serve tea." "The attitude is not cold, but it is not very enthusiastic.

For the very polite Zhuang family, he is already expressing his dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Ye didn't know it, she came back to her senses, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang's hand and said, "Mrs. Zhong, we still met two months ago, right?" How did you lose so much weight. Poor sister, why did my brother-in-law ......" Speaking of this, his eyes turned red, and tears fell for a while.

The deceased husband is Zhuang's most heartache, when I think about it on weekdays, I have to shed a basket of tears when I have nothing to do, where can I withstand others to provoke this matter again? Her tears fell at once, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, crying uncontrollably.

Mrs. Ye also cried with regret on her face, and there was a whimper in the room.

Regarding the death of his father, Zhong Lingyu's pain in his heart was no less than that of Zhuang's. It's just that she has always buried her grief deep in her heart, and refuses to cry easily to let her heavenly father miss her. This will Mrs. Ye take the deceased father as a method, and gain the favor of the Zhuang family, she suddenly trembled coldly, and said coldly: "Mrs. Ye, my father has just passed away, and my mother washes her face with tears every day, and now she is better, how can Mrs. Ye poke people's hearts and mention the saddest things about others?" Is this hospitality? ”

This made Mrs. Ye embarrassed for a while.

In fact, when going to be a guest, the other party's family is newly mourned, and when they meet, they express their concern for the deceased, and then comfort and comfort the surviving, which is the habitual routine of being a guest. But as soon as Zhong Lingyu's words came out, Mrs. Ye's approach changed.

She was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she came to propose marriage today, and she didn't want to annoy Zhong Lingyu, so she only wiped her tears and said: "It's mine, no, I just thought that I was sad, and I forgot my sister's sadness." wiped away his tears, and comforted Zhuang, "Sister, don't cry, my brother-in-law is in the sky, and I don't want to see my sister sad all day long." Only when we keep them in our hearts and live a good life will they be at ease in heaven. ”

Zhuang nodded, and cried for a while, before his eyes stopped with red and swollen eyes.
