The third uncle seemed to have a sadness between his eyebrows, and Lin Yu'an lowered his eyebrows and stopped laughing.

Wang Zhongjun said gently to Lin Yu'an: "Sister An also tossed for a day today, let's go back and rest early."

Lin Yu'an knew that this was the third uncle who had something to say to the little lady, so he nodded knowingly and bowed and retreated.

After Lin Yu'an left, Wang Xiaoniang looked at Wang Zhongjun suspiciously: "Third brother, is there something wrong with you sending Sister An away?"

Wang Zhongjun shouted: "Rongsheng!"

Rong ran in energetically, and Wang Zhongjun said: "I have something to say, you are guarding the door outside, and you must not let people listen to the corner."

Rong Sheng went out to guard in response, and Wang Zhongjun sighed, which made Wang Xiaoniang even more confused about what was going on.

Wang Xiaoniang is not a grinder, and when she saw that Wang Zhongjun didn't say anything, she opened her mouth and asked, "But what happened to make you frown?"

Wang Zhongjun looked down at his knees and said in a deep voice: "You know that when you married into the Lin family, your mother was strongly opposed, right?"

Wang Xiaoniang nodded, she naturally knew how unwilling her mother was to marry Lin Shigui to be a child, but she didn't know what Wang Zhongjun wanted to say.

"On the first day I arrived at the Lin Mansion, I asked someone to bring a letter to my mother, telling her about you in Nanshuizhuang, and telling her that I would take you and Sister An back to Wang's house in the near future, and my mother was happy, who knew that this matter reached the ears of my sister-in-law."

Hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, Wang Xiaoniang's heart sank. The sister-in-law is the eldest brother Wang Zhongguo's wife, Qi.

The Qi family is the eldest lady of the big house, and she is also the lord of Anning. The Qi family married Wang Zhongguo, not to mention anything else, there was only one clear order for Wang Zhongguo, that is, he was not allowed to take concubines. This incident caused a stir in the capital at the beginning, and everyone knew about it.

This is obviously jealousy, and he has committed the sin of seven outs, but no one dares to put his beak in it. The county lord is a relative of the emperor, and even the queen has not accused him of this matter, so who dares to come forward?

Qi is a man who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. This is the deepest impression that those who know her have about her. She didn't allow Wang Zhongguo, the head of the Wang family, to take a concubine, which shows how much she hates concubines, Wang Xiaoniang also saw the leopard, and instantly understood what the third brother meant.

Wang Xiaoniang couldn't help but feel melancholy, it seemed that the Qi family didn't allow her to take Sister An back to Wang's house, she sighed: "Third brother doesn't have to take into account my feelings, you can tell what sister-in-law means."

Wang Zhongjun hesitated slightly, his eyes were deep: "She, she said that she would not live under the same roof with the concubine."

The meaning of these words is already very clear, the Qi family does not allow her to live in the Wang family. Wang Xiaoniang's heart was as clear as a mirror, and she thought slightly.

Sister An is now thirteen cardamom, and she will have to discuss marriage in two years, if she can marry from the Wang family, with the status of the Wang family in the capital, and her mother, Mrs. Wang, she will definitely be better than following her as a nameless little lady. If Sister An can marry as she wishes, she will have nothing else to ask for.

She sighed slightly, looked out the window leisurely, the night breeze was slightly cool, gently blowing the curtain, like Wang Xiaoniang's heart, a little wavering, and had to make a choice.

"When you write back to your mother, you say...... I am now disheartened, only Sister An is worried, after returning to Beijing, I went to the nunnery to worship the Buddha and did not ask about the world. ”

Wang Xiaoniang's tone was calm and her face was peaceful, but it made Wang Zhongjun's heart skip a beat, and she stood up in surprise and said, "Fifth sister, have you thought about it?" After entering the nunnery, how can you come out at will in the future! ”

If you can, who wouldn't want to enjoy the fun of the world in a warm place and go to the nunnery to accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns?

It's just that if she chooses to go to the nunnery, for Sister An, the impact of her status as a little lady on her can be minimized, and it can also make the Qi family have no excuse to embarrass Sister An.

Wang Xiaoniang sighed softly: "If the third brother had a way, he wouldn't have said these words to me with a bitter face, don't worry, I've already thought about it."

Wang Zhongjun sat down a little depressed, with a heavy expression: "I originally thought that if you live alone in a house, your sister-in-law may be able to open up."

The flames of beans on the kang table flickered, and Huo's mother came in and picked up the wick, and then retreated.

Wang Xiaoniang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, my sister-in-law will not say those words, it doesn't matter, I have a clean breeze on my sleeves now, where can I live."

There was a faint sadness in her words, and there was also a little helplessness. Wang Zhongjun heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

He is just a businessman, even if he has the heart to protect Wang Xiaoniang, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Lin Yu'an, who returned to the northwest courtyard, was sitting on the kang by the window, holding a book and reading at night by the faint candlelight.

It was already late at night, and Xian Pu persuaded Lin Yu'an several times to no avail, so he rested his mind and sat on the side of the small pestle covered with colored embroidered cloth and was bored.

"If you go and rest first, I don't have anything to do here, I'll watch for a while and then go and rest on my own."

Lin Yu'an looked at Xian Pu with a sleepy look, and couldn't bear to let her sleep late with the lamp.

Xian Pu shook his head anxiously, suddenly came to his senses, and smiled reluctantly: "If the girl doesn't sleep, Xian Pu won't sleep."

Seeing her like this, Lin Yu'an pursed her lips and smiled, put down the scroll of traveling around the world in her hand, and got up lazily: "What time is it?"

Xian Pu stepped forward to straighten her wrinkled clothes, and said with a smile: "It's been a good while, but I'm afraid it's already right."

It was indeed a little late, Lin Yu'an felt sleepy, and walked to the window to take a look. Outside the window, the faint night is shrouded in residual flowers, and it seems that you can hear the sound of time flowing gently like water. There is no moon or rain tonight, hope for a good dream.

In the early morning, the morning dew was lightly sprinkled, and the first birdsong jumped on the branches, and the people under the forest house were already busy.

Still as in the past, Lin Yu'an got up and freshened up, and when everything was ready, he and Xianpu went to Linxi Garden to greet Mrs. Fang.

As soon as he walked to the moon gate in front of the main courtyard, Lin Yu'an paused, turned his head to look at a few peach and plum trees on the side, and walked over with some doubts.

Xian Pu also felt very puzzled, what was the girl looking for? followed behind Lin Yu'an and listened attentively...... There seems to be a faint cry.

Lin Yu'an walked over quietly, and saw a brother in indigo clothes hiding under the roots of the tree, crying and sobbing, looking very sad.

As if sensing that someone was coming, he wiped his tears and looked over at Lin Yu'an, and saw a handsome sister in plain clothes standing not far away, and his little face suddenly turned red.

Lin Yu'an noticed his emotion, and hurriedly raised his index finger to "shh

Lin Yu'an felt a little relieved that Zhige'er still remembered who she was, and also felt that this kid had a good memory.

She squatted under the tree like Zhige'er: "Are you unhappy about anything, why are you secretly crying here?"

Zhige'er's face turned even redder, and he said shyly: "I'm a man, so I didn't hide and cry secretly!"

Knowing that he was shy, Lin Yu'an no longer teased him, thinking that he was a newcomer, he was not familiar with Lin Zhai, and he was not used to leaving his parents and family for a while.

She stood up and said to Brother Zhi'er: "Okay, Brother Zhi'er is a man, but at this time, we should go to the eldest lady to say goodbye, if we go late, I'm afraid that the eldest lady will blame us."

Brother Zhi'er nodded and stood up, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said to Lin Yu'an: "You are not allowed to tell others about this today."

Lin Yu felt funny, this child's temperament is really unbelievable, and it is not good to delay any longer, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, a word is a certainty."

When I walked into Linxi Garden, I saw Mrs. Fang standing under the eaves reprimanding a woman: "You can't look at a child, what use do you say."

Lin Yu'an listened, and said in his heart that this child is a person, not an object, how can he say that he can watch and live.

The belly had already walked in front of the eldest lady, and Lin Yuan bowed: "The eldest lady is wearing makeup!"

Mrs. Fang didn't look at Lin Yu'an much, her eyes fell on Brother Zhi'er: "Are you running away, Mother Xu didn't find you!"

Mother Xu is the person who serves Brother Zhi'er closely, and follows Brother Zhi'er into the house.

Seeing that the eldest lady was angry, Zhi'er lowered her little head: "Let the eldest lady worry, the child knows his mistake."

Hearing Lin Zhicai admit his mistake and relent, Mrs. Fang relieved herself, nodded and let Tian's mother help her into the house.

Mrs. Fang's expression was not good, Lin Yu'an also calmed down, didn't say a word, bowed her head and stood aside, and Brother Zhi'er also learned to stand beside Lin Yu'an.

Mrs. Fang's expression became more and more unsightly, and she was gloomy and could wring out water.

At this time, Yimei said loudly outside: "The eldest girl and the third girl are here."

Hearing this, Mrs. Fang's face softened a little, and Lin Yuzhu and Lin Yuqing walked in side by side, with a slight smile on their faces, as if they were talking about something just now.

The two casually asked for peace, and Mrs. Fang asked them to sit down and talk.

Lin Yuzhu's mind was much more lively than Lin Yuqing's, and when she saw Brother Zhi'er and Lin Yu'an standing aside, she beckoned: "Brother Zhi'er, come and let the eldest sister take a look."

Brother Zhi'er hesitated a little, walked over slowly, and stood still in front of Lin Yuzhu, "Big sister makeup." ”

He turned to Lin Yuqing again and said, "Third sister makeup."

Lin Yuzhu said softly to Brother Zhi'er: "What books has Brother Zhi'er read at home?"

Brother Zhi'er's milky voice was a little soft: "Back to the eldest sister, I have read the three-character scripture, the surname of a hundred families, and I have also skimmed some of the four books, but I don't understand it very well."

Lin Yuzhu hooked her lips and smiled, touched Brother Zhi'er's head, and said to Mrs. Fang: "Mother, do you see if Brother Zhi'er is a good child, he has read so many books!"

Mrs. Fang nodded kindly, meaning that it was lacking. Lin Yuqing on the side pursed her lips and looked around a little absentmindedly.

Lin Yuzhu suddenly shouted outside: "Chi Meng, go and bring the notebook on the desk in my room."

A weak voice outside answered, "Okay."

Lin Yu'an bowed his head and was silent, Lin Yuzhu wanted to encircle the brother who had nothing to do, and he really had a good calculation.

Brother Zhi'er is young, and he will inherit the Lin family in the future, which is Lin Yuzhu's backer in his mother's family.

Lin Yuqing looked left and right, not knowing what she was looking for, Mrs. Fang suddenly called out to her: "Sister Qing, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lin Yuqing was suddenly shouted by the eldest lady, and her frightened face changed: "No, I slept well."

The eldest lady glanced at her lightly and did not make a sound.

Apricot blossoms are warm in spring, and it is a good season.
