Chapter 101: The road is narrow
Unexpectedly, Lei Biao and Lin Xia met an old acquaintance on the second day after they came to the capital, and it seemed that the road was really narrow.
Lin Xia immediately recognized the old woman in front of him and said with a smile: "Du Shi? Unexpectedly, we haven't seen each other for almost three years, and we are really fateful. After taking a closer look at Du Shi, I found that she was dressed brightly and gorgeously, and she looked like she was living a good life in the capital.
After a while, two women dressed as maids also rushed in, and hurriedly stepped forward to the boy's side and said softly, "Young Master, where did you go, you want to scare us to death." ”
"Old lady, are you alright?" The other maid said to Du Shi.
This old lady called Du Shi's waist pole a little straighter, Du Shi raised his head and glared at Lin Xia and said, "What does it matter, I don't know you, you actually dare to bully my grandson, do you know that his uncle is a celebrity next to the prince!" Hurry up and kneel down and apologize to us, otherwise I will let you walk around without eating. ”
Lin Xia looked disgusted, she didn't want to know this old woman yet. After clarifying the relationship, the uncle of the child mentioned by the Du family is estimated to be Lin Chengzu, Lin Xia was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that Tanhualang had become a celebrity next to the prince, it seems that this official luck is still good, but unfortunately the IQ of this family is still unqualified.
Xiao Xu'er understood what Du Shi said, and when she heard her say that she was going to kneel down to apologize, her eyes immediately turned red, and her little finger pointed at Lin Yangyang and shouted loudly, "It's him, bully, brother!" ”
Du Shi didn't expect this two-year-old child to be able to say a clear sentence, so he only snorted coldly, "What kind of parents are what kind of sons, and they dare to contradict their elders, I'm afraid it's not that my parents taught me." ”
Xiao Xu'er hurriedly grabbed Lei Biao's sleeve and shouted, "Xu'er didn't!" Xiao Xu'er's eyes were red, for fear that Lei Biao and Lin Xia would not believe what she said.
Lin Xia looked at Xiao Xu'er's appearance, she was distressed, Xiao Chen'er in her arms was still sobbing, Lin Xia was angry, and stepped forward directly, "I know what kind of character my son has, it's obviously your grandson who bullied my Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, and also stepped on their sugar paintings, you are beating a rake now, I think this child probably learned from his parents or the elders in the family." ”
I haven't seen him for a long time, Lin Xia is still sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and he can't say a word about Du Shi's blockage, "It's obvious that the wild child you gave birth to beat our Yangyang!" Saying that, Du Shi also lowered his head and asked, "Isn't that right, Yangyang?" ”
Lin Yangyang cried at the top of his throat, "Hit, it hurts." ”
Lei Biao glanced at Xiao Xu'er, and Xiao Xu'er hurriedly shook her head, "No!" ”
"My kid said no!" Lin Xia said directly.
Can you believe what your child says? Who knows if you lied to avoid being scolded? ”
Du Shi was aggressive, Lin Xia snorted coldly, put Xiao Chen'er in his arms on the ground, touched Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er's little heads, and said softly: "Xiao Xu'er, Xiao Chen'er, this strange grandmother said that you beat her grandson, and even the boy said that you beat him, although my mother and father knew that you didn't beat him, it is better for you to really beat him." ”
When the words fell, Xiao Chen'er reacted the fastest, and directly rushed up and grabbed Lin Yangyang's face three marks with a wave of his claws. Xiao Xu'er followed closely and hit the round head directly.
It's good now, Lin Yangyang's crying is even louder.
"You, you!" Du Shi was incredible, he didn't expect Lin Xia to let those two little guys really fight, seeing that the maid was stunned, he hurriedly scolded: "You waste, the eldest young master is like this, why don't you hurry up and pick it up and coax!" ”
The maid had a hint of embarrassment on her face, but she couldn't help it, so she hurriedly hugged the thirty-five-pound Lin Yangyang, and her arms trembled slightly, for fear that she would drop the child with a trembling hand.
The two-year-old child of thirty-five pounds is already overweight, and thanks to Du Shi, I am afraid that her precious grandson will be hungry, and her life is better, so she is fed everything, and she is so fat when she is fed.
"Oh, my precious grandson." Du Shi looked at Lin Yangyang's tender face with a blood mark, looked a little distressed, and scolded Lei Biao and Lin Xia, "You actually dare to instruct your son to beat my grandson, if you don't lose money, I will let you go to the official mansion and eat in prison!" ”
Lin Xia rolled his eyes, "Do you think the government is open in your house?" Saying that, Lin Xia hugged Xiao Chen'er and encouraged: "Xiao Chen'er is awesome, and my brother is also awesome." ”
Xiao Chen'er had just finished taking revenge and received encouragement from her mother, but at this time, she giggled with a grin, and she had already forgotten the cry just now, "Yes, Yuyu." ”
"Okay, my mother will buy you and my brother the same candy paintings." As he spoke, Lin Xia took Xiao Xu'er's hand and turned his head and left, without taking the crazy Du Shi in his eyes at all.
Lei Biao didn't bother to entangle with her, so he protected Lin Xia's shoulders and left directly.
Seeing that they didn't take her seriously, Du Shi was furious, and rushed up to beat Lin Xia, but he was cut off by Zi Su with a smile on his face, and looked around at the crowd of onlookers, and said softly, "Old lady, this is the capital, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles, you splash on the street, it may have a slight impact on the celebrities around your prince." ”
Du Shi suddenly remembered her favorite youngest son, Lin Chengzu. He had just been promoted from the establishment to the prince's attendant some time ago, and his position was unstable, if there were any rumors at this juncture, it was likely to have any impact on the career of her favorite youngest son, and it would be worth the loss, after all, there were also people who were staring at this position and wanted to pull Lin Chengzu off the horse.
Lin Chengzu is a well-read poet and quite talented, and a poem last year made him famous; In the Hanlin Academy, Lin Chengzu did everything well, was serious and careful, and the Hanlin bachelors praised Lin Chengzu, so the emperor appointed Lin Chengzu to become the prince's attendant.
The prince reads, the people around the prince, if there is no accident, this prince is the future emperor, this is a position that many people want to get, Lin Chengzu is undoubtedly lucky, of course, there is no lack of efforts he has put in.
However, there will always be people who secretly envy and envy people.
Thinking of this, Du Shi immediately stopped it, only snorted, shook off Zisu's hand, and threw down a cruel sentence: "You remember it for me." ”
"Old lady walk slowly." Zi Su said with a smile on his face, not taking Du Shi's cruel words to heart at all.
This is how a farce ended.
The next day, Lin Chengzu sent someone to send a post.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lei Biao and Lin Xia took Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er to meet in Juxian Pavilion, the first restaurant in Beijing.
When he saw Lin Chengzu, Lin Xia had a feeling of time in a hurry, he hadn't seen him for nearly three years, and the boy in front of him had quietly grown up, wearing dark green clothes, with a little fragrance, quite a bit of lotus fragrance, light and elegant without losing the femininity that a man should have, gentle and elegant.
Lin Chengzu was still the same as three years ago, unchanged at all, bowed respectfully to Lei Biao and Lin Xia, and then sat opposite them, looking a little excited, "Brother-in-law, sister, why did you inform me so late that you arrived in the capital, you should let me take care of you and wash the dust, could it be that you forgot my younger brother." ”
Lin Xia smiled, his eyes full of tenderness, "How dare you forget you, we sent you a letter on the first day we came to the capital." He turned his head to Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er and whispered, "Xiao Xu'er, Xiao Chen'er, call uncle." ”
Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er shouted obediently: "Uncle." ”
Lin Chengzu touched Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er's heads with a loving face, took out two red cloth bags from his arms and handed them to Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, "Really good, this is a little gift from my uncle to my two little nephews." ”
Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er obediently took it, Xiao Chen'er was very interested in the contents of the red cloth bag, and opened it first, and found that there was a small jar inside, and after opening the jar, there were golden gold leaves inside, but the leaves were slightly transparent, only about ten.
"This is gold leaf candy, it is a small snack only in the palace, I know that Xiao Chen'er loves snacks, this is what I specially asked from the palace." Lin Chengzu explained.
Xiao Chen'er's eyes lit up when she heard the word snack, and she hurriedly wanted to pick up a gold leaf and put it in her mouth, but was stopped by Lin Xia, "Xiao Chen'er, it's about to be served, and you are not allowed to eat snacks before eating." ”
Hearing that she couldn't taste this fresh and unseen snack, Xiao Chen'er pouted, reluctantly put the gold leaf candy in her hand back into the small jar, and then carefully handed it to Zisu, signaling her to put it away with her eyes, and didn't forget to lick the finger that had just taken the gold leaf candy, and tasted the sweetness.
Lin Xia rolled her eyes, and secretly complained in her heart, why did she give birth to such a delicious son, wouldn't she just give him a candy when she grew up, and he obediently left with someone?
Lin Chengzu smiled, "It seems that I didn't make a mistake in giving this gift." ”
Then Xiao Xu'er also opened the red cloth bag, which contained seventeen books, such as "Analects", "Book of Songs", "Book of Filial Piety", etc., which is almost equivalent to the ancient version of the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation.
"I hope Xiao Xu'er will study hard and get a top spot in the exam in the future." Lin Chengzu said lightly, his eyes were full of expectations for Xiao Xu'er.
Xiao Xu'er couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, she only thanked Lin Chengzu obediently, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Lin Xia looked at Xiao Xu'er with some distress, to be honest, she didn't want to clearly point out a path for Xiao Xu'er, he could take the imperial examination as an official, in business, or even in the army, she was willing to accept it, after all, his life was his own.
However, since Lin Chengzu gave her son so many books, Lin Xia was not far behind, "Brother, you are the same age as me, I already have two children, and you are still alone, when will you be able to share the joy of family, do you want my sister to introduce you to a few good wives and mothers?" ”
Lin Chengzu's face was slightly red, "Sister, brother, I will invite a matchmaker to come to the door in a few days to say goodbye." ”
"Oh? Which lady is it? Lin Xia asked curiously.
"It's Bachelor Zhao's daughter-in-law, Li Zijin."
