After being distracted, chatting couldn't be enjoyable, so most of the time Su Mu was talking, and Lin Jian couldn't stand it so he should make a few noises.

Xiang Ling also quickly withdrew, and later someone came in to clean up, so they came out under the pretext.

Su Mu was cleaning up the chess pieces on the case, and raised his hand to take down the one between Lin Jian's fingers, "I know that Ah Jian is feeling uncomfortable, so I might as well say it directly." ”

"Aren't you surprised?" Lin Jian exploded when he boarded, and his hand slapped the chessboard.

The voice was a little unexpectedly high, Lin Jian lowered his eyes and leaned down to blow in the palm of his hand, and was caught by Su Mu and patted it lightly, "Be careful, why are you still so reckless." ”

A few chess pieces scattered out, and Su Mu picked them up one by one, put them in the chess box, and put them away, "Let me guess what Ah briefly said, it's Xiangling's business?"

"That's right." As soon as he spoke, there was an obvious vent of anger, "Xiangling, she followed her sister before, I don't actually know much about her, but she was sold into the mansion as a slave when she was a child, and she must have been born hard." So now she has a similar home, and I'm actually quite happy for her. It's just that when I think about what happened before, I always feel uncomfortable. Besides, Xiangwu is still cold, so suddenly, how can I bear it. ”

Many things, the most feared thing is comparison, Lin Jian said this, his eyes were a little red.

"Maybe it's because of the child, it's not good-looking after a long time, that's why I'm in such a hurry." Su Mu comforted him, in fact, he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Now that it's like this, no matter how it is, it won't change anything."

Lin Jian took this sentence to the end, and finally climbed into bed sullenly, and suddenly remembered something else, "Now that Cousin Lian has got married, then Uncle can't keep grounding people." Is he going back to the academy, or is he going to stay at home for now?"

After saying this, Lin Jian thought of the afternoon's events, and felt a little untenable, "I don't know if I'm thinking too much, I always feel that my uncle doesn't seem to like Xiangling very much." We were still in the main courtyard at that time, and he didn't have a good face in front of many people. ”

Su Mu walked towards the side of the bed and handed over the hot water, Lin Jian drank the water without waiting for him to speak, "What's wrong?" You wouldn't be unnoticed, right? ”

"That incident has never been mentioned, and I've told Ah Jian now, so you should treat it as a little secret between the two of us." Su Mu took the cup and put it down, and the candle flame next to it was swept by the wind that came out, and it swayed a little.

"Go, you think this is teasing Jiajia." Lin Jian smiled, but was a little apprehensive. Su Mu has rarely been like this, which makes him a little nervous for no reason.

The story was not very long, and until it was finished, Lin Jian could still feel the residual warmth of the cup in his palm, but his eyes widened uncontrollably, "Su Mu, you didn't make up some words at random to lie to me, how could this be possible?"

"Then how do you explain that the second uncle has refused to come back until now, whether it is a festival or a happy event." Su Mu replied to him.

"Mr. Su, he likes young girls, but there is nothing wrong with him. Uncle was just in charge of breaking them up at the time, and he shouldn't have thought that the consequences would be so serious. Later, Qingqing died with regrets, and Mr. Su also stayed in the academy in a bad mood and never came back. ”

This sentence, Lin Jian said lower and lower, and finally sighed.

He'd been here a lot, but he didn't know anything about it, thinking it was a long time ago. And his uncle deliberately hid it very tightly.

"But I still don't think Mr. Su's temperament is like something that happened to him."

After a long sigh, Lin Jian still couldn't accept it.

"But this is the truth, and my father, when I saw Xiangling, I would remember what happened back then."

"It's messy enough." Lin simply fell down stiffly, and was hugged by Su Mu, "So, I am grateful to be with you smoothly." ”

Xiangling is nothing special compared to ordinary times.

It's just that when the two of them go to the main courtyard, they can always meet her.

still shouted Mrs. with low eyebrows, but the light in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"You follow Cousin Lian and Jiajia together, just call me sister-in-law." Lin Jianpi joked without smiling, and Xiang Ling was about to squat down in a flash, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Don't look out like that." Lin Jian stretched out his hand and dragged the person, and looked around again, "Xiangling, you come out, do you have something to say?"

Right now, they were in the main courtyard, and everyone passing by was looking at it. So Xiang Ling became more and more respectful, "It's been some time since the slave maid entered the West Courtyard, and she hasn't returned to the house to thank Mrs. ”

With that, she cautiously raised her head again, "I wonder if you would like to go with me." ”

With a very clean pair of eyes, Lin Jian was stared at, and he actually had the urge to shake out a shudder, "Okay, let's go back to the house together, it just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to you about." ”

"Do you want me along?" Su Muben stood still and didn't move, and he happened to come over at this time.

It was only more than half a month since Xiangwu's accident, and Xiangling not only did not completely clear the suspicion, but was involved in a new wave. So now, what kind of thoughts does she have in mind when she proposes to go back to her home to thank her?

Lin Jian turned around in his heart, and comforted himself in his heart that he would respond to all changes with the same, and shook his head at Su Mu, "No need, let's go back by ourselves." ”

"Then I'll go around the main street and bring some food for Jiajia. I'll pick you up when you're ready, and we'll come back together." Su Mu said and walked out, followed by Lin Jian.

Returning home from Su Fu, it was only half a quarter of a walk. But at this moment, walking in this narrow alley with Xiangling, Lin Jian couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in.

"If Xiangwu is still here, I can come back with you today."

Coldly, Lin Jian came up with such a sentence.

Xiang Ling held the small basket in his hand, paused, and almost knocked on his stomach.

"Be careful, the child is important."

Lin Jian stretched out his hand and snatched the basket, and put on a dry smile, "It's my fault, I should have been happy today." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, looking at it like this, Xiang Ling's stomach is already a little pregnant. She hurriedly stroked it, and then gestured to catch the basket, "How dare you bother the son, or the slave and maid come by themselves." ”

Where is Lin Jian willing to give it to her, Xiangling smiled helplessly, "Speaking of Xiangwu, the slave still thinks it's just a dream." Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and can't tell where I am. ”

"The room you lived in before, my aunt had it sealed, saying it was unlucky, and if it's okay, don't go back."

The two chatted all the way into the house without saying a word, and when they were about to arrive at the main courtyard, Xiangling insisted on carrying the basket by himself, and Lin Jian pouted in the dark and handed it over.

Daddy didn't know where he went, and there were only his mother and Xiangyue in the house. Lin Jian glanced at it and sat down on the mat. Mrs. Su didn't say anything yet, but Xiang Yue took advantage of the tea to squeeze over, "Xiang Ling's body is very beautiful, and it flatters you very well." ”

Xiang Yue was still talking about the pink long jacket, and then looked down at his plain clothes. Mrs. Su also squeezed over and said with a smile, "Xiangling is in the new joy now, so it looks good when you wear it like this." It's a pity that they came back in a hurry, and there was nothing to prepare in the house. Later, the girl will accompany me to the cloth village. ”

After saying this, he said angrily to Lin Jian again, "You kid, why don't you tell your mother in advance about such a big thing." ”

"It was the slave maid Yang Gongzi who came with him, and he didn't know it beforehand." Before Lin Jian could speak, Xiang Ling hurriedly added, she was about to bow over, but Mrs. Lin pressed her shoulders and pressed them on the mat, "When you return home, you don't have to see outside." ”

"Home?" Xiang Ling hesitated for a moment, Lin Jian followed and looked over, and found that the other party's face was really confused, but there was not much hypocrisy.

"It's also to blame that I didn't prepare in advance, but since you're back, I'll tell you in person." Mrs. Lin went to grab Xiangling's hand, "My husband and I have briefly discussed, I want to recognize you as a righteous daughter, I don't know what you think?"

After that, seeing the hesitation on Xiang Ling's face, he added, "You don't have to think about it, you were originally married in the past, and you are somewhat aggrieved." has followed Tian Tian since he was a child, and now he is with Ah Lian's boy, and it is better to have a mother's family after all. ”

"Mother, you are ......"

Lin Jian was a little ...... Extremely surprised, I don't know which one his mother is playing suddenly.

"What do you want to say, Ajan?" Mrs. Lin turned her head and gestured with her eyes.

Xiangyue next to her had already opened her mouth wide, Lin Jian and her glanced at each other, and both of them were a little speechless.

"It's nothing, it's just that it happened suddenly, so I feel a little surprised, but it's good to have an extra sister. Soon it will be the end of the year, and there will be one more person to give me the New Year's money. ”

Lin Jian tried hard to put on a smiling face, but was slapped by his mother, "Out of breath, how old is you, you still think about this." ”

Then Lin Jian sat on the side, watching his mother direct Xiang Yue to be busy, taking jewelry for a while, cloth for a while, and some unknown things, piling up the bookcase.

Xiang Ling was also stunned, and she didn't come back to her senses until now, she stared at the front of her with some difficulties, and then put on a sincere and frightened posture towards Mrs. Lin, "Madame is so good to Xiang Ling, it's just ......like this."

"You're out again." Mrs. Lin hated her, took a hairpin and looked at her head, "These were originally dowries for you and Xiangwu, some of them were newly purchased, and some of them were made by your mother and brother back then, and now they are all for you." ”

"Madam, Xiangwu is ......" Xiangling's eyes turned red at this time, "We originally went together, but now she can't come back." ”

"Xiangwu is a miserable life, you have to be good, and live with her. I wish you could be better. Mrs. Lin also had red eyes, and Xiang Yue handed over the handkerchief, and she barely burst into tears and laughed, "Today is such a happy day, it's not right to say this." When the time comes, when you are well raised, remember to bring the baby to me. ”

Lin Jian sat on the side, feeling a little speechless. He has always had soft eyes. At this moment, there is no urge to shed tears.

I really hope that he doesn't think too much about it.

They seemed to have no end of talking, and then naturally stayed for a light meal. When Xiang Ling walked out again, the basket in his hand was replaced with a wooden box, and Lin Jian easily recognized that this was originally placed in the side room by his mother.

It can be seen that Xiang Ling is also a little embarrassed, so he consciously stays away from him. Lin Jian felt that the question in his heart could no longer be hidden, and when he was halfway there, he pointed in the direction of the backyard again, "Since we are back, let's go to Ah Xue to have a look." ”

There was nothing wrong with Xiangling, he went to the stable and went straight to Ah Xue.

Lin Jian stood behind and watched her every move, and found that she also picked up straw to tease, and Ah Xue didn't react much, just half-lying there.

"Look, Ah Xue is fine now, let's go back."

Although there were still doubts in his heart, Lin Jian was still a little weak-hearted, he reached out and tugged at Xiangling's sleeve, "It's not in a very good temper now, have you forgotten what you almost kicked last time?"

"Okay, let's go back, it's a pity that Ah Mo is just a horse, otherwise he might be able to ask the girl's whereabouts." Xiang Ling replied and threw the straw in his hand.
