"What!"

A sharp shout came out through the door, making Ah Chun, who was holding hot tea outside, shiver, the cold wind blew, and now it was almost winter, pushing the door in, Lin Wenjuan was pacing back and forth with her heart covered, as if she was angry, and Lin Zhang's brows on the side were frowning, and her expression was also flustered.

"How dare she think that!" Lin Wenjuan sat next to Lin Zhang's side, thought about it and thought about it, and couldn't help but feel even more angry, Xiaobai came to Xiyue City, but he didn't come to Lin Mansion to find himself, but he met Lin Wenhai, is there such a coincidence in the world? "The toad wants to eat swan meat! Is she worthy of her brother? ”

"You're wrong!" Lin Zhang sighed, "What my mother is afraid of now is that your brother really likes Xiaobai." ”

"Impossible!" Lin Wenjuan scoffed, "I've never seen my brother have a heart for any girl, and everyone else doesn't care, that person is still a little white... Mother, you are really, don't believe anything. After speaking, she also looked at Ah Chun on the side, and asked mockingly, "Ah Chun, what do you say?" ”

How will Ah Chun answer, Lin Zhang's doesn't care, she is just worried that Lin Wenhai already has the idea of liking Xiaobai when he hasn't opened his mind, no one has asked for so many years, and he himself doesn't know, "Anyway, no matter what, it's impossible for my mother to let your brother marry Xiaobai, it's good for that ugly girl to be your companion, my mother has never thought of anything else, besides, your father won't agree." ”

"You're Duoxin!" Lin Wenjuan yawned, she was really tired of helping to entertain those ladies and ladies these days, "In my opinion, it was Zhang Qiaoqiao who said nonsense, she was afraid that my brother would not want her, and she wanted you to be pitiful, but, mother, do you really want her to be my sister-in-law?" She only visited her mother once when she was a child, and now what is her family background, can her mother ask clearly? ”

Lin Zhang smiled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a cry outside. Ah Chun frowned and said, "When the slave came back just now, I met Miss Qiao and talked about Mrs. . . . . ”

"Okay, I don't blame you." Lin Zhang waved his hand, got up and opened the door.

"Auntie!" Zhang Qiaoqiao pounced, if it weren't for Ah Chun's eyes and hands to support Lin Zhang's family, the two of them would have fallen, "Auntie!" My cousin is hiding from me, you have to make decisions for me! Didn't you say that? As long as I serve the soup he likes, can he forgive me? But he doesn't see me! ”

Lin Wenjuan gave Ah Chun a look, Ah Chun hurriedly dragged Zhang Qiaoqiao to the stool, took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Lin Zhang's steady mind, sighed: "You have these tears, it's better to cry in front of his door, he is the most soft-hearted, if you really want him to forgive you, don't just be pretty." ”

"Auntie is saying I'm not sincere?" Zhang Qiaoqiao pouted, "It's not my fault in the first place, who let Xiaobai bully people so much!" ”

"Watch out." Lin Wenjuan rolled her eyes.

Zhang Qiaoqiao was in a hurry, she stood up suddenly, but when she saw Lin Wenjuan's stomach, she didn't dare to be angry, so she could only cry more and more, hugged Lin Zhang's arm and said, "You just talk to Xiaobai for a while!" She pretended to pity her cousin and didn't see you, aunt! It's not my eyes! ”

"Alright, alright!" Lin Zhang patted Zhang Qiaoqiao's back, and quickly asked the little girl at the door to hold the person. "What kind of tantrum you have with Wen Juan, you are about to become a family. My aunt just likes the way you look at your cousin, go back to sleep, and tomorrow your aunt will take you to make amends to your cousin. ”

Zhang Qiaoqiao laughed at this time.

When she left, Lin Zhang and Lin Wenjuan looked at each other and smiled, for them, there is only one man they like in their hearts, which is what they want in this life.

"Mother, don't bother my brother with her tomorrow, my brother is not here tomorrow, we don't have anything to do tomorrow, otherwise, let's go to Dengfengtai for a walk, I heard that there is a juggling team that looks good."

Lin Zhang nodded, seeing his daughter with a good face, he was very happy, Chen Heng seemed to have accepted his fate recently, and began to look for other ways out, and he didn't often come to Lin Mansion to lose his temper, "What is your brother going to do?" ”

"It doesn't matter what he does, it's a big deal to revitalize the family business anyway."

......

As soon as the city gate opened, the carriage of the Lin family went to Dengfengtai in a burst of laughter, and the street turned a corner, Xiaobai stretched in front of the inn, looked at the streets around him that gradually had fireworks, and went to the crowd.

"The little white girl is here so early?" As soon as the hot noodle soup was put into the pot, the woman greeted the guests, looked at Xiaobai, and beckoned her to come over for breakfast.

But Xiaobai was not hungry, she waved her hand and said with a smile: "Next time I eat, I'm in a hurry to buy something." ”

"You're really capable!" The woman's voice was surprisingly loud, causing half of the people on the street to look at her, "I just tuned a lot last time, it's not enough?" ”

Last time? Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh, although this time he was preparing for the hospitality of Ruan Yuanluo, he was also in the same bad mood. "It's almost winter, you still have to prepare more, I'm leaving, auntie."

In fact, Ruan Yuanluo's letter did not say what she wanted to eat, as for what the world is delicious, Xiaobai has no idea, but it is always good to prepare more, but Lao Feng only sent beef this month, and the quantity is not too much, and there are not many chickens, ducks and fish in the store, and Mrs. Ruan is here, plus so many people, I am afraid it is not enough.

There are also gifts from those merchants, and she wants to make some snacks and put them in the vending machine to thank them.

"Ahh Gift! I haven't chosen a gift for Mrs. Shang yet. Xiao Bai stopped, looked at the gold shop beside him, and hesitated a little, is Mrs. Shang the kind of person who will value gold, silver and jade? Of course not, she looked at the carpenter shop next to her, and suddenly thought that Mrs. Shang was about to give birth, and the merchant must have prepared it properly, but isn't the more toys for children, the better? Thinking of this, she walked in without hesitation.

After half an hour, she walked out satisfied, and selected the toys for Mrs. Shang's imminent child, from the smallest rattle, to the large wooden horse and rocking car, Xiaobai bought them, and carefully looked at the shopkeeper's package, put it in the box, and thought that she could go to Mrs. Shang tonight.

With a wave of her hand, the meat stalls on a street were rounded by her, and the small merchants and vendors who came out to sell their own fresh vegetables and fruits and pickled food were all bought and sent to the inn around the corner.

However, after half a day's effort, there are a lot fewer vendors on the whole street, because everyone knows that Xiaobai has come to stock up on goods, and some merchants have generously let Xiaobai buy the goods in advance before they are ready for winter, just like the high-quality dried shiitake mushrooms in the Gujia grocery store, Xiaobai bought half of them at once, and she was curious, the same is under the sun, why is the dried shiitake mushrooms of the ancient family so much more fragrant than their own?

After touching her stomach, it was time to go to lunch, but Xiaobai thought that she would go back directly after eating, so she planned to go to Dr. Nan's to buy some medicinal herbs first, she was going to make some nourishing soup, and she still had to ask in advance. Unfortunately, Dr. Nan was too busy, so he didn't have time to pay attention to her, and he had to prepare lunch for himself and the medicine boy, so Xiaobai had to take out some dried shiitake mushrooms and the shepherd's cabbage picked before, with some minced meat, and wrapped a lot of dumplings.

"Doctor Nan, the dumplings are cooked." Xiaobai was holding dumplings in one hand and vinegar dishes in the other, and was just about to enter the door, when he was pushed out by the medicine boy, and even the things in his hand were taken over, "Your share is in the kitchen, take it yourself." ”

The medicine boy had already eaten and muttered, "Doctor Nan is not available, I want to go and check Mrs. Lin's pulse." ”

Xiaobai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the old lady?" ”

"When you were cooking, Meiyu came and said that the old lady drank a bowl of bird's nest at noon, but she was not very comfortable and vomited."

"Then you won't call me?"

The medicine boy glanced at her and said with a smile, "What did you tell you to do?" Hot face sticks to cold ass! The future of the Lin family is taken care of by the powerful master, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xiaobai stopped talking, but after thinking about it, it was the same thing, Mrs. Lin was sick, there must be a lot of people around her, what was she going to do? Although she can't go, at least, she can make something delicious for Dr. Nan to bring, "Will you go with you?" ”

"Go, what?"

"Help me bring a food box for Meiyu."

The medicine boy rolled his eyes, put down his chopsticks, took out a few medicine bags from behind the counter and threw them to Xiaobai, and said, "This is what you want, go and prepare, Doctor Nan will leave soon." ”

"Okay!" Xiaobai turned around and ran into the kitchen, twenty shepherd's cabbage dumplings, a cup of steamed eggs with ginkgo seeds, and a bowl of sweet glutinous rice pumpkin porridge, even if Mrs. Lin had a bad appetite, she could always eat some.

By nightfall, Xiaobai arrived to welcome the guests, and Mrs. Lin had fallen asleep peacefully. There was no time to gently add a small velvet blanket to Mrs. Lin, wiped her tears, Meiyu was about to get married, and Mrs. Lin's body was getting weaker and weaker, and when Lin Wenhai married his wife, in this courtyard, I am afraid that there would be no place for her to stay, she could only leave, and could not turn back.

......

Welcome guests to the door, the goods are neatly stacked on one side, the lights are bright, Hua Rui is lying on the table waiting for Xiaobai to come back, Xiaobai put the carriage away, obviously in order not to disturb Mrs. Ruan to let them put things at the door, but now they have a headache how to move these things back to the kitchen.

As soon as I moved a bamboo basket to go back to the corner door at the back, I heard the flower stamen wake up, "Is the little white girl back?" ”

"Yes." Xiaobai stopped and looked inside.

Hua Rui rubbed her eyes, walked out and said, "I've been waiting for you, our lady wants to talk to you." ”

"It's so late ... Have you been waiting for me? ”

"Didn't you say you'd come back today? Today's words are of course to be said today. Let's go. Hua Rui put the bamboo basket in Xiaobai's arms on the ground, called a few people to help move to the back, and dragged Xiaobai to the guest room on the second floor.

Sang Lan really didn't sleep, she didn't even freshen up, and she didn't know how long she stood by the window, the broken hair on her sideburns was so wrapped in the cold wind, brushing her white cheeks, "You're back." ”

Xiaobai stood at the door of the room and answered softly, Hua Rui closed the door, and several lights in the room shook a few times, folding the shadows of the two together, and the staggered place was Guo Zhaoyang.

"He cut firewood in the yard for a whole day, and when the firewood in the yard was gone, he went to the forest behind him, and he did not stop for more than ten hours, but you see, you had just returned, and he stopped."

It's really strange, Sang Lan is not Guo Zhaoyang's mother, but like a mother, worried about his future, isn't she too? Xiaobai took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Ah Yang and I are just friends. ”

"I know, it's a friend who saves lives. I secretly took care of him for eighteen years, but I couldn't save his life compared to you. ”

"Madame is serious, in fact, it was not me who saved him."

"Whether it's you or Yu Ke, I'm very grateful to you for taking care of him, and so will his mother. It is a blessing for Ayang to have these two good friends, especially you, Yuan Luo is full of praise for you, you can keep your duty, and you will have greater blessings in the future. ”

"I understand, so I've never thought about anything I can't climb."

Sang Lan turned around and stared at Xiao Bai for a long time, the candle flame reflected a deep and shallow halo on Xiao Bai's face, and for a moment, Sang Lan thought that he had seen it wrong, Xiao Bai's appearance seemed to be changing.

"Madame, don't worry, I have never misunderstood anything, and neither has the prince."

"Because you're a friend that Millo likes, I don't want you to be hurt for no reason." Sang Lan walked over and held Xiaobai's hand, "It's all the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, and the big families can't do what they want, let alone the people with noble status?" Ayang's concubine can only be appointed by the emperor. ”

Xiaobai smiled, looked up and said, "I understand, we're just friends." ”

"I knew you weren't just a good girl, you're also the smartest."

The two didn't know that Guo Zhaoyang on the side of the wall had already heard the conversation, he had obviously told Sang Lan that the grace of saving his life was greater than the sky, and he believed that the emperor would not interfere, why did she still talk more! And Xiaobai, doesn't she want to leave here with her?
