Song Ling returned to the courtyard worriedly, but the water chestnut and Ru'er were sitting at the table peeling pine nuts, and the cicada clothes were waiting on the side.

"This year's pine nuts are good, oily." As soon as Song Ling pinched a grain and ate it, she was glanced at by the water chestnut.

"This is reserved for stir-fried chicken nuggets with pine nuts." Water chestnut road. After that, he quietly glanced at Ru'er.

Ru'er just came back, didn't say anything, first sat for a long time, Cicada Yi didn't know what was going on, and saw that the menu hadn't been drawn up today, so he came to ask the meaning of the water chestnut.

Before the water chestnut could speak, Ru'er said, "Stir-fried chicken nuggets with pine nuts." ”

This is Zeng Yunyi's favorite dish, and Ru'er also likes it.

Song Ling looked at Ru'er intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that his expression was indifferent and calm, but the redness in the corners of his eyes revealed his sadness.

Ru'er suddenly said, "How is grandmother?" ”

Song Ling was unexpected, and paused for a while before saying, "Grandfather coaxed it." ”

"Hmm." Ru'er answered, but didn't say anything.

Song Ling and Ru'er have always talked about everything, but there are some things that are really difficult to speak, so they only said: "What did you say in the first letter?" Can you tell Daddy? ”

Ru'er's face showed a little relaxation, and said: "It is said that they found a cave in the Stygian Mountain, which is full of extremely magical murals, and he knows that I like to paint, so he will talk to me in detail." It's just a thousand words on paper, it's better to see it. ”

"It's okay, it's a long time coming, you can always see each other." Song Ling comforted.

Ru'er nodded, let go of his hand, and a handful of shiny pine nuts fell from his palm into the bowl.

Cicada Yi sensed the subtle atmosphere, so he said: "This pine nut is enough to make two large plates, this bowl of masters eat and play." The slave and maid took the bowl to the kitchen. ”

Water chestnut said to the cicada: "Cheng, go." ”

There were only three of them left in the courtyard.

Ru'er was silent for a while, and said, "We are the arrogators." ”

Song Ling didn't know what to say, the water chestnut twisted restlessly, and said to Song Ling: "Don't blame the child, you didn't hear what my mother said just now, I only listened to it for so many ears, and the anger in my heart rose up." ”

"I know, Aunt Zhou said it to me." Song Ling patted the water chestnut's hand and said comfortingly.

The phrase, 'Forget from whose belly you crawled out!' Hearing this, Song Ling's teeth itched, if the person who spoke was not his own mother, he would only swing it with a punch.

"Grandmother's temperament is indeed intolerable, and your aunt's good temperament makes her speechless. The implication of the incident, how many tears your aunt shed, half of it was sad for your mother, and half of it was angry with your grandmother. ”

Song Ling talked about her deceased wife, lowered her eyes, and covered her sadness.

"But she is my mother and your grandmother, and this relationship will not change in this life and this life. It's like you, Ya'an, and your younger brother, you will always be blood-implicated. Relatives, you can't choose for yourself. ”

Song Ling looked at Ru'er and said earnestly.

Ru'er bit her lip and said, "Dad, I understand all these truths, otherwise I wouldn't have told my mother until today." When I lived at my grandmother's house before, I saw her crying every day, and I wanted to tell her that my mother was very aggrieved by her death. But I also know how big waves it will set off when these words are spoken. So nothing was said. ”

Ru'er paused and said very slowly: "I understand all these truths, but grandmother doesn't understand anything. ”

When a child is exposed to the sorrow of this world too early, it will always leave a deep imprint on his body.

The imprint of Ru'er fell on his eyes, and when he was silent, the imprint would emerge and turn into a sour tear, flowing quietly when no one was around.

Every time water chestnut sees Ya'an's innocent smile, she will think of Ru'er's precociousness, which makes her very uncomfortable.

Today's incident makes the water chestnut heart like oil.

Lin, how could she say such a thing.

The courtyard of the Lin family was very quiet, and on the second day, Song Ling met with Song Ling and went to the barracks together.

Song Ling was obviously a little embarrassed, and opened his mouth several times before asking: "The implication thing, is there really a share of your mother's relatives?" ”

Song Ling nodded, "This matter has already been investigated, and it can't be faked." It's just that I don't know how Ru'er knows, and I don't dare to ask. ”

Song Ling sighed and said, "It's me who spoiled your mother." ”

Song Ling glanced at Song Ling and said, "If you say that, your grandfather will beat you with his cane." ”

Song Ling laughed and said to Song Ling: "You can still laugh, it means that Ru'er's mood is not bad?" ”

"Ru'er is very standing now." Song Ling said proudly, and then said a little gloomily: "It's just that I don't know how to ease the relationship with my mother." On that day, the mother first said that Ru'er was not as good as his younger brother when he was raised by water chestnut, and then said that Ru'er forgot his roots and recognized others as his mother. These words are not said to be a child, even if I listen to them, I can't stand them. ”

"I already told your mother yesterday, but she also admitted her mistake." The old wife made a mistake, and even took Song Ling to Song Ling's waist board not so straight.

"Only if you say it, my mother will admit it." Song Ling said lightly.

He understands Lin's temperament very thoroughly. Only Song Ling's words matter.

Song Ling choked, and he had nothing to refute.

The Lin family got up a little late today, but it was still blue and black right now.

Last night, she always dreamed of Zeng Yunyi, she didn't cry or laugh, she didn't make trouble or talk, she just looked at Lin quietly, and saw that Lin was frightened, and woke up several times in one night.

She looked at the fish porridge in front of her, and said to Aunt Zhou: "You let the small kitchen send a copy of my breakfast to Ru'er." ”

Aunt Zhou coughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "The eldest prince has always used breakfast early, and now at this hour, I'm afraid I have already gone to practice swords." ”

Lin didn't say anything, and ate a few shredded radishes in a hurry, and asked people to remove the dishes from the table.

Aunt Zhou saw that Lin's actions seemed to be remorseful, so she gave her an idea and said, "Madam, why don't you write to the princess?" She has always been close to the Zeng family, and she really loves the eldest son. If she speaks, and the eldest prince listens to her persuasion, won't the knot between you and the eldest prince be untied? ”

Lin's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't wipe his face, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Why let one more person know about this?" Isn't it glorious? ”

Aunt Zhou was anxious and angry, and said, "Madam, is the princess an outsider?" ”

At the moment when the Lin family was grinding and chirping, the water chestnut had already repaired a book and sent it to Ta'an.

It was winter in Ta'an, and the barbarians wanted to see the snow, so they moved back to Tiro.

Deep in the mountains of Tiluo Village, there is snow in winter.

It's like a mung bean cake that fell carelessly into the icing pile, and the green was stained with a little white, which was not interesting.

Man'er and Ajiu went to the mountains to pick a handful of plum blossoms, and were happily about to show Song Zhi, but they saw Meteor wearing plain clothes and guarding the house, and shook their heads lightly at Man'er.

"What is my mother doing in the house?" The barbarian held the plum blossom and had nowhere to offer the treasure, and was a little anxious.

Meteor led the barbarian to the courtyard and said lightly: "Madame is chanting scriptures and praying for the late Zeng's blessing." ”

Man'er pursed his lips, Fang Cai's elated look was gone, and he held the plum blossom with some annoyance and said, "Yes." The day of my aunt's death is coming, how can I forget? ”

"There is still a month before that day, and Madame is not because of this, but I received a letter from the West today, and I feel something." Meteor explained.

After breakfast, Song Zhi looked at the letter of the water chestnut, which was not very comfortable, the letter of the water chestnut did not have rich rhetoric, just a flat and straightforward statement, which made Song Zhi's heart ache.

The meteor waited for Song Zhi to bathe and change clothes and smoke incense, and now it has been three hours inside.

Song Zhi instructed that she was not allowed to disturb at will, and Meteor did not dare to invite her out for lunch.

"Mother, I won't have lunch today, Aunt Meteor, you go and let Aunt Rosin get some light and restrained food. I'm guarding my mother here. The barbarian put the plum blossoms on the stone table in the courtyard, and sat down at the stone table himself.

Meteor glanced at the room and said to Man'er, "Okay." I'll ask someone to move a chair, and you go and sit under the porch, don't be blown by the cold wind. ”

Man'er wrinkled her nose and smiled, "I know." ”

I don't know how long it took, when Song Zhi pushed the door and came out, he saw Man'er wrapped in a thick mattress, leaning on a chair and falling asleep.

Man'er's calm sleeping appearance made Song Zhi's heart soften, and he reached out and patted it gently, and said, "Man'er? ”

The brute woke up, and the mattress slipped off, revealing a handful of plum blossoms in her arms.

"Mother, for you." Man'er was sleepy-eyed, and when she saw the plum blossoms, she didn't say anything, but handed her the plum blossoms in her arms.

Song Zhi smiled and took the plum blossom, and said to Man'er: "I just woke up, beware of the cold wind entering the body, and enter the house quickly." ”

As soon as the two entered the house, Meteor came with sour soup mutton dumplings.

Song Zhi has always treated the barbarian as an adult, and he always has a lot of discussion in what he says and does, and he has never hidden it from her this time, and he listens to her in detail.

Man'er puffed out her mouth and said, "Grandmother admits her mistake, why is it so difficult?" How uncomfortable is my cousin's heart? ”

She obviously felt that Lin was more wrong.

"It's not difficult, it's just admitting mistakes to juniors, it's difficult." Song Zhi took a sip of sour soup, his stomach seemed to be awakened, he didn't feel hungry, but at the moment his appetite was open.

"Mother, let's leave this matter alone, let my brother talk to my cousin." Barbarian Road.

"Both of them?" Song Zhi was slightly stunned and said, "This matter is also because of the first child, okay, you go and talk to your brother." ”

In the evening, two eagles set off from Yuxinlou and flew westward.

This time, the letter will not be sent by mistake.

Chu Ru'er wrote a letter and also wrote a letter to Lin.

Song Zhi didn't know what was written in Chu Yu's letter, but on the day Lin received the letter, he invited Song Ling's family to dinner.

Although Ru'er is not warm, she is also polite, although she is alienated, but she can eat at the same table.
