144 Compromise
"I disagree!"
After the old lady Lin emphasized it one last time, she flicked her sleeves and entered the inner room angrily. Lin Shijia looked at everyone present - her mother was not there, her third uncle was not there, and her aunt was not there, Chen Wanzhi was shaking her mind and didn't know what to think...... In desperation, she had no choice but to chase after her.
Lin Yijia looked at the bead curtain that was still shaking, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Mother, look at this...... Didn't the old lady agree before? Why did you suddenly lose your temper again? Why don't we let my aunt persuade you again? ”
Thinking that Lin Yuan'er was lying on the bed in a languid state, Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it. Mother has a way. Her eyes looked over Chen Wanzhi, Li Yueying, and Lin Song'er, and finally fell on her beloved little daughter, and said softly: "The re-election will be held soon, so prepare well." ”
Several little girls responded unevenly.
Mrs. Lin asked Li Yueying again: "Yueying, you passed the primary election, do you need to go home to be elected?" Your mother should be worried about you. ”
Li Yueying bowed, shook her head and said, "Please agree, let Yueying follow a few cousins." The Li family is only Yueying, and Yueying is really at a loss in her heart. Mother's place, Yueying just goes home. ”
There is only one Li Qingyan in the second room of the Li family. She was also under the age of thirteen, so she was not selected and did not need to return to Beijing. Moreover, what does the Li family have? In the Lin family, the news is smooth enough. Besides, Mrs. Lin is never stingy, and whatever she prepares for the two girls of the Lin family, she will give Li Yueying the same share. Although Mrs. Lin did not prepare carefully. But it's much better than what the Li family can take.
Mrs. Lin's mind was not willing to be spent on Li Yueying at all, and when she heard what she said, she nodded and said, "It's okay." Then you can stay in peace. ”
After speaking, the crowd dispersed.
Not long after, Rouge appeared in front of Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin slowly tapped her fingers on the tabletop, and said before she said, "Rouge, you go to find out some secrets with the old lady, and just say that the one has contacted the eldest aunt and grandmother." It's just that. The Lin Mansion was very tightly guarded, which was very inconvenient. If the eldest aunt and grandmother go to the Zhuangzi, it will be much more convenient to do whatever they do. ”
Rouge was taken aback, quickly looked up at Mrs. Lin, and answered in a low voice.
A day later, everyone went to greet the old lady again. The old lady stopped Mrs. Lin and said, "I've thought about it repeatedly, what the old man said makes sense." It's not a problem for Yuan'er to be bored in the house all the time, so it's okay to go out and live for a while......"
Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile and said, "I'll just say that the old lady loves her aunt and grandmother the most." It must be for the sake of her health. ”
Mrs. Lin nodded very happily, and even her attitude was much kinder. After saying a few words, everyone dispersed.
Lin Yijia was surprised: I didn't see how everyone persuaded her, why did the old lady's attitude change all of a sudden? In the past, no one could persuade her to turn back on what the old lady believed, and she was especially stubborn after these few illnesses......
She couldn't figure it out, so she went to ask Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin didn't want to say it. Lin Yuan'er did the next thing. It's really not a little girl's house. What's more, that person is still a very close relative. One word. Mrs. Lin felt panicked and couldn't talk to her daughter.
Lin Yijia suddenly put on a pitiful look, shook Mrs. Lin's sleeve and pleaded: "Mother, do you think that Xiaoliu is too stupid, so you don't want to teach Xiaoliu?" However, if you don't want to teach Xiaoliu, won't Xiaoliu become more and more stupid? ”
"Little Six is going to participate in the draft, is there anything else I can't know?" Lin Yijia said in a low voice: "I always heard that those ladies look gentle and kind, but their methods are very powerful...... When Xiao Liu thought about it, he felt scared and panicked. If you don't teach Xiaoliu, Xiaoliu will definitely be fooled and used like a fool......"
Lin Yijia's mention of the draft undoubtedly touched Mrs. Lin's nerves again - before Lin Shiqing said that Lin Yijia was not on the re-selection list, it was by no means a word of comfort to her, she must have gotten accurate news. And judging from the re-election she understands, there are only two or three little girls under the age of thirteen in the country, and I heard that they are all talented and beautiful, and the two children of the Lin family are qualified to pass at all! But the results came out, and they still passed......
If there is nothing in between, Mrs. Lin will never believe it! And the problem must have been caused by this aunt and grandmother at home! Otherwise, where would there be so many twists and turns!
Thinking of this, and thinking of the complicated situation that Lin Yijia was about to face, Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, asked Lin Yijia to sit down next to her, and said slowly: "This matter, there is no way for a mother to say it......"
Lin Yuan'er had an affair with that one, and although several little girls had a slight guess, they didn't dare to think deeply subconsciously. The same goes for Lin Yijia. First, Lin Yuaner is an elder; Second, her behavior is really ...... Let them not dare to think about it. Therefore, they all suppressed their curiosity and consciously did not pay attention to anything about Lin Yuan'er.
But now, Lin Yijia doesn't think so - if she always escapes...... Do you want to be as ignorant as you were in those ten years?
"The old lady's mind is always just to prove her vision and position, to prove that she can earn wealth and glory without relying on the Lin Mansion and the old man. Well, because of the opposition of Duke Wen Xian and the old man back then, Lin Yuan'er missed the position of queen, and let the Lin Mansion miss a splash of wealth and become a medium-sized official eunuch now, and the old lady has always looked down on the old man Lin and the Lin Mansion in her heart. ”
After so many years, seeing that one who is high up and holds the authority of the world, the regret and obsession in the old lady's heart are getting deeper and deeper. After your aunt returns to Shengjing at her request, hehe, the old lady's mind will be active again. ”
"My aunt is already married...... Lin Yijia muttered.
Mrs. Lin showed a hint of ridicule on her face: "In the eyes of the old lady, where can you see this...... All she thought about was how she could climb up to that person. ”
Is the old lady's brain sick and unclear? Doesn't she know that once Lin Yuan'er takes a wrong step in accordance with her wishes, she will be spurned by thousands of people? That's her own daughter!
"So many years of obsession. The old lady was already stunned. She never took a step towards the Lin Mansion, there is only such a big place in her life, where will she take into account the criticism from the outside? She must not have even thought about it...... "Mrs. Lin sighed, "I just asked people to reveal the meaning of being more convenient in Zhuangzi, and she couldn't wait to agree to your aunt's departure......"
Lin Yijia was silent.
After being locked up in a small courtyard for a long time, it turns out that people will become so terrible and unreasonable.
Mrs. Lin put her arms around Lin Yijia and said in a low voice: "When I thought that you would be elected to the palace, my mother was afraid of panic...... Not to mention that it is a place where people trample on people and eat people, but the thought that that person will touch my precious daughter. Mother can't ...... with a knife."
"Mother!" Lin Yijia hugged Mrs. Lin, who was obviously out of control, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry. In this world, I don't know how many women want to enter the palace, and there are so many places, there will definitely be someone to help her daughter brush it down. ”
"I'm afraid that person won't let us go......" Mrs. Lin was not optimistic.
"So. Mother, did you give your aunt to him? Lin Yijia asked in a low voice.
Lin Yijia clearly felt that Mrs. Lin's body trembled. I only heard Mrs. Lin grit her teeth and say, "Yes!" Since the two of them don't forget their old love and have to be together, my mother won't be the one who defends the way! Send your aunt out, our Lin Mansion has compromised! ”
After getting Lin Yuan'er, does he still have to hold on to the Lin Mansion? Isn't he just unwilling to do what happened twenty years ago and wants to step on Lin Fu's face? Today, it is not as good as others. Then just step on him! As long as he doesn't bite his daughter anymore!
If he is still not satisfied, he will not let go of Xiao Liu...... Mrs. Lin clenched her fists, and her eyes shone with a fierce light.
At this time. Old Mrs. Lin also came to Lin Yuan'er's room.
Lin Yuan'er was still lying on the bed, her green silk was scattered, and her face was pale. Because she was sick, there was no ice in her room, and the window was only a little open, and it was very stuffy. It's just that Lin Yuan'er doesn't seem to feel that not only is there no light sweat on her body. Instead, she wrapped her weak delicate body with a thin quilt.
It was dusk, and there was not a hint of wind.
The planks of the verandah were rinsed with clean water. But it didn't get much heat. When Mrs. Lin walked from the upper room to the west chamber with difficulty, there was already a light sweat on her forehead and nose. It seems that this year, she is particularly afraid of heat.
Lin Yuan'er's room, which is impermeable and does not put ice, is simply a steamer for Mrs. Lin.
She had just wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, but immediately sweat was pouring from her skin. This made her eyes a little hazy, so she didn't see the weak appearance of Lin Yuan'er lying on the bed very clearly.
"Old lady, my aunt can't stand the wind, you see?" Mama Xia was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Lin could only sit a little farther away and let Mama Xia lower the bed curtain. Then, she can let Rouge fan her. Mrs. Lin is young and in poor health, and her eyes are a little bad. At this time, there was a layer of veil, and Lin Yuan'er's expression was even more unclear.
"Yuan'er, what do you think?" Old Mrs. Lin asked with concern.
Lin Yuan'er moved and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
Mrs. Lin said with relief: "Hello, I'm relieved." Listening to the eldest daughter-in-law say that it looks like you're going to go immediately, it's true...... She can't wait to get rid of all of us who are eyesores, and only a few of them are left in the house to be happy! It's really ......."
Mrs. Lin complained for a long time, and she was really ruthless when she spoke. Lin Yuan'er felt tired, and couldn't help but explain: "My sister-in-law also let me go to Zhuangzi to recuperate for the sake of my body." Mother, don't be careful. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin seemed to remember the purpose of her coming.
She wiped the sweat that kept coming out of her head, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "Yuan'er, you and the emperor...... Isn't it, isn't it already there? ”
Lin Yuan'er lay on the bed and didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin only acquiesced, her face showed a happy smile, clapped her hands gently, and said proudly: "I know!" My family is so good, then the emperor will never forget you! Well, Yuan'er, did he tell you anything? ”
Lin Yuan'er was still silent.
Mrs. Lin didn't care either, and said to herself: "Yuan'er, my mother will tell you...... Now that you are married, you will definitely not be able to enter the palace. But what's the matter. Even if he is the emperor, we can't let him take advantage of it for nothing...... Men's friendships are unreliable, and you're not small......"
"Mother!" Lin Yuan'er listened to the harsh irritability, and couldn't help but raise her voice slightly, "What do you want to say?" ”
Mrs. Lin didn't notice her daughter's displeasure, and said excitedly: "Mother, while you are still thinking about you, you must not be stupid and not open your mouth, you must ask for enough benefits!" It's useless for my mother to marry. I haven't had a fate in my life, and I go out to make people laugh to death; Your younger brother has been studying for so many years, and he has only become a showman, when will he become an official? The boss has been an official for more than ten years, and he has only four products, and his mother doesn't know when he will see it...... You've suffered so much for yourself......"
"Mother!" Lin Yuan'er couldn't listen anymore and said, "Mother." I'm going to rest. ”
"Okay, okay, you rest, you rest." Old Mrs. Lin Rouge helped up. After seeing Rouge Fu'er muttering a few times in her ear, Mrs. Lin spoke again: "Yuan'er, my mother doesn't have any proud people around you." How is only one Xia Mama enough? Rouge is a capable one, so I'll be waiting for you in the future. ”
Lin Yuan'er answered lazily.
Mrs. Lin wiped her sweat at this time. Leaving satisfied.
When Mama Xia sent someone back to Lin Yuan'er, when she lifted the bed curtain, Lin Yuan'er was already in tears. Mama Xia looked distressed, so she persuaded: "Old lady, she doesn't know about Miss's illness, just because the girl is just a cold, so she doesn't have ...... Don't be too sad, Miss. ”
Lin Yuan'er didn't respond, just closed her eyes.
Early the next morning. She only brought Mama Xia and Rouge, and did not say goodbye to the others. got into the carriage and was accompanied by Lin Shiqing out of Shengjing City.
Zhuangzi was not far from Shengjing, they set off early in the morning, the car went unhurriedly, and it arrived at noon.
Xiao Zhuangzi can see Xiangshan from afar, and his vision is very broad. Because there are a few small hot springs inside, the temperature is a little high at this time, and it is difficult for ordinary people to stay. But considering Lin Yuan'er's physical weakness and chills, she can live at this time.
A hundred steps away from this Zhuangzi, there is a small village. Therefore, it seems that this small village is both independent and not desolate. In the past, the small village was a variety of large and small farms. Because they are all built on the spring, it is a bit crowded. In this way, it seems that this small courtyard is pure.
The house is very clean inside and outside, and the furniture is mostly new.
By the time they arrived, a woman in her thirties had brought hot tea and a hot meal with two teenage girls.
"Considering that there shouldn't be many people you bring, it will be empty and unsafe to build a big garden, so I only got such a small farmyard. If Yuan'er can't look for it, I'll let people look for it again. ”
"It's good here, let the big brother bother." Lin Yuan'er said sincerely.
"If you like it." Lin Shiqing introduced the two women again and said, "This is Sister-in-law Zhang, a cook I hired from the village, and she also does some rough work." Just she stayed here at night. If you think this place is a little empty, I'll send you some envoys when I get back to Beijing. ”
Lin Yuan'er shook her head and said, "That's already good." ”
This is the important land of Gyeonggi, and it is close to the official road, and there are many Zhuangzi of the powerful families of Shengjing in front of it, and the security is very good, and no one dares to steal. Besides, she's here...... How could that person not come to such a convenient place? If he comes, won't she think that there are few people who know about her affairs?
After Lin Shiqing accompanied Lin Yuan'er to have a simple meal, Lin Shiqing was about to leave, and Lin Yuan'er stopped him.
"Big brother." Lin Yuan'er said in a low voice: "I want to leave, what do you think?" ”
"And leave?" Lin Shiqing was stunned for a moment, motioned for her to sit down, and asked in a low voice, "Then have you ever thought about Qingzhi and peace?" Well, they are boys, and they are not young anymore, and they will marry wives in the future, and they will always be able to live ...... But what about Wanzhi? You propose to reconcile and divorce at this time, how can she marry? After getting married, how do you live in your husband's family? ”
"I know," Lin Shiqing frowned, "Because of Chen Zhenyi, you don't care much about these children." But no matter what, they're always the meat that falls off you! The capital of peace is a good boy! ”
"But I'm ...... like this now" Lin Yuan'er closed her eyes and burst into tears, and said, "Sister-in-law is right. If the way I am now, if it is known, my reputation will be even more ugly...... I myself felt like I was ...... "There are some things that she can't say, but she does it."
Lin Shiqing thought about it. Shaking his head, he said, "I still don't approve of you and leaving." ”
"If that person were someone else, if there was a shadow of it, the rumors would have drowned you out long ago. But that person is that person, so much so that everyone shy away from mentioning it. Lin Shiqing laughed at himself: "Even I myself am afraid of offending that one, so I pretend to be deaf and dumb." ”
"His identity is destined to be untold by no one, so it will never spread." Lin Shiqing said: "And several children are surnamed Chen, if you are afraid of hurting them." It doesn't matter if you send them to Jiangnan, send them back to Fuzhou, or even send them to Chen Zhenyi, it's no problem. And if you are reconciled, you are destined to be talked about by everyone. More importantly, that person wants to save face. I'm afraid I won't like you to be so flamboyant. ”
In Lin Shiqing's mind, a few children don't know yet, and they can hide it for a day.
And Emperor Jinghe has always been self-disciplined by Mingjun. If it is rumored that he will never forget the absurdity of his old love affair with a married woman, won't his image plummet? I believe that Emperor Jinghe should not be willing to see such a thing happen......
Lin Yuan'er muttered and repeated: "He doesn't like it? ”
Lin Shiqing looked at Lin Yuan'er with a sigh and said, "Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless...... After he learns that you have moved out. It won't be long before he comes looking for you, so ask him for his opinion. ”
Lin Yuan'er slowly lowered her head.
Lin Shiqing originally wanted to take this opportunity to beg Lin Yuan'er to speak in front of Emperor Jinghe. Let her stop staring at the two little girls...... But seeing her so lost and depressed, she finally didn't say anything, sighed and left.
After Lin Shiqing left, Lin Yuan'er asked Mama Xia: "Mama, you say, will he come?" ”
"Definitely." Mama Xia hurriedly comforted: "He likes Miss so much, he will definitely come to visit Miss soon." Miss. Don't think too much about these people who don't know us. Just relax and take care of your body. ”
"What are you doing with my body?" Lin Yuan'er said quietly.
Emperor Jinghe really didn't let Lin Yuan'er wait too long.
On the night Lin Shiqing left, he appeared in front of Lin Yuan'er's door.
As soon as he saw Lin Yuan'er's weak appearance, Emperor Jing He was very distressed, and when he stepped forward, he hugged her tightly and kissed her with pity. The lips touched, the beauty was delicate, and the kiss of pity gradually became warm, and Emperor Jinghe's big hands quickly faded off the clothes of the beauty.
“……”
Mama Xia listened to the voice outside that something was wrong, and immediately panicked in her heart - her master had only given birth for a long time, and she couldn't bear the rain and dew at all! It hurts your body! She was anxious and wanted to knock on the door to warn her, but Emperor Jinghe's personal guards saw the clue, grabbed her collar and lifted her away.
"Disturbed the master's interest...... Don't you want to die? The guard said coldly.
The guard's eyes were as cold as knives, and even on summer nights, Mama Xia was suddenly chilled. She twitched her lips a few times, but she didn't say anything.
Mama Xia felt that she was standing stiff, and she didn't know how long it took before she heard the guard say coldly: "Go and prepare hot water!" Go in and serve and clean up in a moment! ”
Mama Xia was trembling again, answered yes, and hurried down.
Sister-in-law Zhang returned home with her two daughters, and Rouge was waiting at the kitchen door. She has prepared hot water. Xia Mama was afraid when she thought of the guard, and she wanted Rouge to step forward, but when she thought of her master, she suddenly had a little courage in her heart, and she didn't let Rouge help, so she carried half a bucket of hot water and went to the room.
Inside the upper room, the fierce commotion has subsided.
Mama Xia knocked on the door tremblingly and went in, but she didn't dare to raise her head, only mixed the warm water, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw.
"Mama Xia, long time no see." Emperor Jinghe suddenly spoke.
Mama Xia's legs were weak, she knelt on the ground, and said, "The old slave asks for peace." ”
"Alright, get up." Emperor Jinghe said: "I just saw you for a while and remembered some of the past...... You have been by Yuan'er's side all these years, and you have worked hard. ”
"It is the duty of an old slave to serve the young lady, and I dare not say that it is hard." Mama Xia hurriedly said.
"I know that you are the Ninety-Five, so why scare her?" Lin Yuan'er opened her mouth and said, "Mama, you go out." ”
When Mama Xia heard this, she didn't dare to raise her head, so she went out of the door backwards and took the room again.
After going out, she suddenly remembered: When did all the ice in the room go in? The body of the master......
