"Is the third aunt okay living in Jichang Garden?" Xie Qing asked, "Jichang Garden has not been inhabited for many years, or did the eldest aunt order someone to clean it up a few days before you came back." ”

Liu Shi is a meticulous person, and immediately heard the meaning of her words, and hurriedly said: "No one lived in Jichangyuan before? ”

To say that the courtyard of Jichang Garden was not there before, and it was only expanded after Xie Sanye took office. Liu's is very suspicious of Li's intentions at the moment, since he lived in Jichangyuan, he checked it first, and there was no dirty thing, although this possibility is not very likely, but Liu's still is not at ease, but he didn't find anything. Hearing Xie Qing mention this now, Liu's heart was pimpling again. That's not what the origin of this yard is.

Xie Qing said with a light smile: "This courtyard used to be for an aunt of the eldest uncle, but later the aunt died of illness, and the masters of the house have a place to live, but there is no shortage of such a courtyard, so it is empty." ”

It doesn't matter if it stops in Liu's heart, then there is a problem. The courtyard where my aunt lives, just because Xie Sanye is a concubine, is also worthy of living in Jichang Garden. What's more, this aunt died of illness, what does Li want to hint at.

Liu's brows furrowed, and she was silent for a long time, Xie Ya hurriedly pulled her gently: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Only then did Liu come back to his senses, pretending to be casual and laughing: "It's nothing, Qing'er, what about your mother?" ”

As he was talking, Lin walked over: "Third brother and sister, you are here, sit down." ”

Lin is sister-in-law, and Liu hurriedly got up to greet her: "Second sister-in-law, I was talking about you, and you came over." ”

As early as when the Liu family first entered the door, Xie Qing gave Lingzhi a look, she was a clever person, and hurriedly invited the Lin family over.

"Second sister-in-law, how are you doing all these years? A few days ago, in the old lady's yard, there were too many people, so I didn't have time to greet the second sister-in-law. "The Liu family is a little respectful to the Lin family, not to mention anything else, Second Master Xie used to be good to Third Master Xie, and this kindness is still remembered by their husband and wife.

Lin said with a smile: "I'm fine, with Qing'er by my side, I will be content." ”

Xie Qing stepped forward to help Lin sit down, and said softly: "Mother, how can you be content so easily, my daughter has to work hard to take good care of you." ”

Lin touched his daughter's soft hair and smiled gently.

Xie Ya couldn't help but sigh: "The relationship between the fifth sister and the third aunt is really good. The mother and daughter naturally showed a strong family affection, and Xie Ya felt that it was okay for her to occasionally talk to the Liu family.

Such ordinary words, falling in Liu's ears, always naturally replaced another meaning, the life of the Lin family mother and daughter in the Hou Mansion was actually not good, and the mother and daughter depended on each other.

"The second sister-in-law has a child like Qing'er, which is really enviable." Liu said with a smile, and couldn't help but feel pity for the Lin family in his heart, fortunately, the Lin family still has Xie Qing's daughter, if there are no children and no daughters, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive in the Hou Mansion at all.

The Lin family is not a few years older than the Liu family, but the Lin family is obviously much older than the Liu family, the Liu family has been in Lingzhou all these years, and there is no mother-in-law to press it.

Xie Ya quipped: "Mother, you dislike Ya'er." Fifth sister, look at it, your mother praised you, and she didn't forget to dislike me. ”

Liu Shi said angrily: "Don't say it, if only you were half as well-behaved and sensible as Qing'er." ”

Xie Yalian stomped her feet and pouted: "Mother, you always say that it would be nice if your brother was as well-behaved and sensible as I am, but now that feng shui is taking turns, I have buried my daughter." You dislike your daughter, it's better to treat your fifth sister as your daughter. ”

"Okay, second sister-in-law, how about you treat Qing'er as my daughter?" Liu laughed.

Lin knew that she was joking, pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, you take my daughter and leave Ya'er behind." ”

Liu Shi thought about it thoughtfully: "Then forget it, no matter how naughty Ya'er is, it will come out of my stomach, if I really don't want her, she will cry." ”

"Mother......" Xie Ya lowered her head shyly, and when Liu said this, she couldn't help but think of the scene where the child was scared by the adults and cried when he wow, isn't it funny, Lin and the others couldn't help laughing......

The Liu family had the heart to talk to the Lin family, so they found an excuse, saying that they would go to the Lin family's room to sit down, and the two children would play by themselves.

"Second sister-in-law, I just said it in front of the child, I can't say it, I heard that Qing'er seems to have fallen into the water a few days ago, it's okay." Liu's heart is a successful one, although Lin is a person with a weak personality, he will not lie, but if he directly asks her if the relationship with her sister-in-law is good or something, Lin is probably embarrassed to say it, so take Xie Qing as an excuse.

The Lin family only has a daughter like Xie Qing, and when she pokes at the sore spot, there is naturally no inconvenience to say.

Sure enough, the Lin family looked sad and sighed lightly: "Alas, brother and sister, I won't tell you that Qing'er fell into the water that time and almost died." Lin remembered that Xie Qing was already dead at that time, and why Xie Qing later said why she fell into the water, so he couldn't help but redden.

If it weren't for Xie Qingfu's fate, he would have died at this moment. Of course, what the Lin family didn't know was that the real Xie Qing was indeed dead, if it weren't for Li Yunqing's rebirth in Xie Qing, Xie Qing's people would have been lying in the coffin at this moment.

"Why did you fall into the water when you were so good? Isn't there a maid waiting for Qing'er around? Liu said.

Lin bit the corner of his lip and hesitated and didn't speak.

Liu Shi hurriedly said cautiously: "Second sister-in-law, but what is unspeakable? Tell me something, see if I can help, the third master often said that the second brother was very good to him in the past, but unfortunately the second master left early, and he, the younger brother, could not help. ”

Under Liu's reassuring words, Lin finally couldn't hold back, "Brother and sister, my Qing'er has a hard life." The second master went, I didn't take good care of her, she was often bullied over the years, and I couldn't do anything about it, thinking that it should be a fight between children, and it almost killed my Qing'er. ”

Liu's eyes were slightly deep: "Who dares to bully Qing'er, she is the fifth lady of the Hou Mansion!" ”

Lin shook his head and said helplessly: "My brother and sister have also seen a few girls in the big house, Sister Ru is okay, in the end, she is the eldest daughter, and she is raised by the side of the concubine in the palace, which is not bad for Qing'er, but the others, especially Sister Qi, are the ones who pushed Qing'er into the water, and almost our mother and son are separated forever." ”

Speaking of Xie Qi, the Liu family is also angry, a few days ago they just arrived at the Hou Mansion, and when they recognized their relatives, Xie Qi's high-minded appearance seemed to appear in front of her.

"What good can my sister-in-law teach!" Liu said coldly.

After speaking, I felt that what I said was a bit too much, but the Li family was in charge of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, so I hurriedly diverted the conversation, "Sister Qi may have been spoiled by her sister-in-law, but fortunately, Qing'er is fine." ”

Lin nodded: "Yes, I was thinking that if Qing'er had anything to do, I wouldn't have to live." "A woman, her husband died first, and if she loses her daughter again, there is no hope in this life, it is better to die.

Liu Shi also felt pitiful when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry too much, isn't Qing'er okay now." And Qing'er is also older, and after a while, you can say goodbye, as long as you marry a good family, good days are still ahead. ”

Speaking of this, Lin showed a smile and said, "Brother and sister, you don't know, Qing'er has an idea, I mentioned the matter of kissing her, guess what, she said that the sisters in front of her have not yet decided, so she is not in a hurry." ”

"In my opinion, Qing'er is considerate of your mother, and I want to accompany you more." Liu said with a smile, "Qing'er is a good child, second sister-in-law, you can rest assured, you will definitely find a husband who loves her in the future." ”

The corners of Lin's mouth smiled, and said: "I think so too, in the future, Qing'er can marry someone who is really good to her, speaking of which, Ya'er is older than Qing'er, and her family affairs can be decided?" ”

Liu shook his head: "I originally wanted to find a good family for her in Lingzhou, but listening to the third master, I'm afraid I will have to return to Beijing in the future, if we go back to Beijing, Ya'er is married to Lingzhou, thousands of miles away, how can I be willing to do it." ”

Xie Ya's family affairs, the Liu family is also pondering, she will be married in a few months, and she can not be busy getting married, but this family matter should indeed be decided.

"Speaking of family affairs, have the girls in the big house been decided?" Liu asked, "Sister Ru is already sixteen this year, and Sister Qi is almost fifteen, isn't the eldest lady in a hurry?" ”

Ordinary people, a girl of this age, the family affairs have long been decided, and the Liu family is sure that the Li family must have a success in his heart. But what exactly is going on, I still have to inquire from the Lin family.

"I don't know." Lin frowned slightly, and replied, "But Sister Ru, it may have been arranged earlier." Concubine Niangniang likes her very much, and Sister Ru can basically be said to have grown up in front of Concubine Shu. ”

Hearing this, the Liu family understood, "I see, if you say so, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion will have another princess." "The girl raised in front of Concubine Shu, at a glance, is the main room prepared by Concubine Shu for her son Zhao Tianyi, she was originally a cousin, and Xie Ru is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and this princess should also be.

"I saw Sister Ru sitting next to the old lady that day, the position was higher than that of the eldest lady, dignified and atmospheric, I guess even the old lady knew about it." Liu's words were a little sour, but she really didn't like Li's, that high-minded look, and when she first entered the door, she gave him a dismount, she still can't forget it.

Liu couldn't help but grit her teeth, her background was not as good as Li's, and her husband was just a concubine, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, who is not raised by their parents, there should always be basic respect between people, but in Li's sacredness, Liu can't feel it at all.
