215 Meeting the Old Man (2)
"Mother, although I don't know him, but Boss Jin knows him, he and his wife are also outside, and they came with him, mother, otherwise you will meet and say that it is your old friend." Lin Dongxian said softly while carefully observing Wu's expression. I saw her brows twisted for a moment, old man, how could she have an old man in the town? Just wanted to refuse, but a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, could it be that he was the one who was looking for her with a jade portrait?
"Dong Xian, you go and tell him, I don't want to see him, let him go! There was no more me in the world. There was a cold light in Wu's eyes, and he turned around and raised his feet to leave. Lin Dongxian was confused, what did she have to do with the Wu family, she didn't want to see the people in the sedan chair outside. Lin Dongxian caught up with Wu and kindly helped her cross the threshold, Wu turned his head and glanced at her: "Dongxian, no matter what you say, I won't see him, you will die of this heart!" ”
"Mother, you sit down first and listen to what I say, I don't know who is sitting in the sedan chair outside, but I believe that Boss Jin will not harm us. Do you remember that I told you before that Mrs. Tian was also inquiring about the owner of the jade pendant, and I think they should not be the same person. So mother, I don't think you should be presumptuous, it's better to meet and listen to what he has to say. Lin Dongxian whispered comfort, hoping that the Wu family would listen to her.
Her hands curled up, her nails dug into the flesh and she didn't know it, her face was as white as rice paper, her eyes were cold, and instantly Lin Dongxian stepped forward to hug her. Mrs. Jin outside the door was a little anxious, and turned her head to look at Jin Kuiye: "Master, otherwise let's go!" "It's been a while, Lin Dongxian hasn't come out yet, so it means that the Wu family doesn't want to see Jin Kuiye, so they don't have to embarrass them.
Jin Kuiye smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Lady, don't worry, wait." "Since he's here, it doesn't matter if he waits, anyway, he won't do anything today, just wait with Jin Kuibiao. Since Jin Kuiye said so, she couldn't say anything more, so she waited outside with them. After a long time, Wu slowly spoke: "Okay, Dongxian, I'll meet him." ”
Lin Dongxian's face was overjoyed, "Mother, then I'll go." As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave in a hurry, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Wu's mouth: "Wait, Dong Xian." Lin Dongxian turned around and walked over, hesitating: "Mother, what's wrong?" "I'll wait for him in the house." Wu said in a deep voice, and in an instant Lin Dongxian understood what she meant, and only wanted to see the people in the sedan chair, and the others were not seen.
They wanted to talk alone, and Lin Dongxian nodded knowingly and said, "Mother, I know, then I'll go first." Jin Kuiye and Mrs. Jin glanced at each other, their eyes flickered, Jin Kuiye strode to the sedan chair, muttered a few words outside, and soon the people in the sedan chair came out. A sturdy man in his early forties, dressed in a lake-blue slim brocade robe, with a silver crown on his head, a curved jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a Chinese face, walked up to Lin Dongxian and smiled slightly.
Jin Kuiye and Mrs. Jin sat in the living room, while Lin Dongxian led the man to see the Wu family, and when she returned to the living room, she learned from Jin Kuiye that the man just now was his cousin Jin Kuibiao, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She was a little confused, full of questions, and couldn't wait to ask the Wu family, why was the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang the old man of the Wu family, and what was the secret she didn't know?
asked Jin Kuiye a few words tentatively, and found that he didn't know, and Mrs. Jin was the same, it seems that Jin Kuibiao may not mention it to their husband and wife. "Dong Xian, don't worry, my cousin won't hurt your mother." Jin Kuiye swore that although he and his cousin had not seen each other for many years, they continued to communicate with each other, and believed that his cousin was not the kind of person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Not to mention that his cousin thinks that Wu is an old friend, when he first saw her, he also had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere. Jin Kuibiao didn't come out until half an hour later, and left not long after, and glanced at Lin Dongxian with a smile before leaving. Jin Kuiye and Madame Jin followed him closely, she escorted them to the door, and then couldn't wait to go to the Wu family and ask her.
Unexpectedly, she knocked on the door for a long time, but Wu ignored her, "Mother, you open the door, don't be alone, mother." "I ignored her for a long time, and suddenly a bad thought crossed her mind, shouldn't there be something wrong with the Wu family!" Mother, if you don't open the door again, I'm going to bang on the door. Mother, Dad will be back later. Lin Dongxian waited for a few more seconds after speaking, but there was silence in the room, she looked around, picked up a wooden stick casually, and was about to raise her hand to hit the door.
The door of the room opened, and Wu slowly lowered her eyes, she couldn't see her expression clearly. "Dong Xian, go back quickly, I'm fine." Saying that, she slammed the door shut again, Lin Dongxian was blocked out of the door, since Wu didn't want to say it, she was reluctant and useless, so she had to go back first. When Zhou Mingmu woke up and discussed with him, he met Lin Zhiping at the door, and he was really slow to buy vegetables.
"Dongxian, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Dongxian's outstretched hand: "Dad, don't drive me, I'll leave now, by the way, my mother is in a bad mood, you'd better not provoke her." As soon as she slipped away, she ran away, Lin Zhiping's mouth trembled, this girl slipped away quite fast.
Zhou glanced at Chanda who was standing on the bow of the boat, "Da'er, it's windy outside, go in quickly, don't freeze." The cloak in his hand was draped on him, Chanda glanced back at Zhou, and shook his head curtly: "Mother, I'm fine, you go in quickly." "Da'er, are you still complaining about your mother, I didn't tell you earlier." Zhou also waited for Qian Dazhong to raise before telling him that their family still had relatives in the capital.
If he had known earlier, he would definitely not marry Lin Yue'e, and it was useless to say anything now, he could only wait for another opportunity. Zhou didn't know what Qian Da was thinking at all, "Okay, my mother listens to you, but you also have to go in together." The wind on the sea blew in gusts, his hair was blown to his face, and he was about to lose his eyes, so he stepped forward and took Zhou's arm affectionately into the cabin.
Master Tian glanced at Tian Yuanhe, "There is no need to talk about your mother's affairs anymore, I have already decided." "Mrs. Tian can't even do such a little thing, and it is difficult to provide for her if she doesn't go to the Buddhist hall. There was also a letter he had just opened on the bookcase, which told him to hurry up and find the owner of the jade pendant and send it away secretly. If he can't even do such a little thing, Tianfu will be destroyed in his hands in the future.
Tian Yuanhe took a deep breath and slowly knelt in front of him, "Father, mother is a husband and wife with you, for so many years, she has given birth to children for her father and handled housework. I also asked my father to give her a chance to change her ways, and my son begs you. Originally, Tian Meiniang planned to come over together, but unfortunately Tian Yuanhe refused, Tian Meiniang's temperament is very arrogant, if he says something in front of Master Tian that he doesn't like to hear, it will not end well when he turns back.
Master Tian was stunned, "He'er, there are many things you don't know, and there is no need for you to know." I have my own sense of your mother's affairs, you are not well, go back to the house and rest early. He waved his hand at Tian Yuanhe on the ground, signaling him to leave quickly. Tian Yuanhe wanted to say something, but Master Tian's face was gloomy, sinking like a stone fished out of an ice cellar, and he glanced at it coldly, Tian Yuanhe got up tremblingly, and what he wanted to say was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
If she continues to intercede for Mrs. Tian, it may deepen Master Tian's resentment towards her. Tian Yuanhe had better not say anything again, and maybe Master Tian could forgive Mrs. Tian. Tian Yuanhe walked out of the study weakly, Tian Meiniang was anxiously waiting for him in the pavilion not far away, and saw him come out from a distance, regardless of the maid shouting behind, she hurriedly ran over, panting and staying in front of him, stretched out her hand and patted her chest for a while, calmed down her good mood, and quickly asked: "Big brother, how is it, has my father loosened his mouth to let my mother go?" ”
Seeing that Tian Yuanhe didn't let go of his mouth for a long time, with a serious face, Tian Mei anxiously stepped forward and pulled his arm, and said, "Big brother, you have something to say!" What did my father say? "Meiniang, you don't care about this matter, I'll give you the account book later, you learn how to take care of the house." Tian Yuanhe's voice was clear, and a solemn cold light flashed in his eyes. Master Tian said very clearly, he couldn't let Tian Meiniang send scolding anymore.
Tian Meiniang instantly understood, and sneered: "Big brother, how good my mother is to us on weekdays, I don't believe you have forgotten." Now that my mother has been reprimanded by my father and moved to the Buddhist hall, do we have to watch my mother suffer, big brother, I go and beg my father. He trembled with excitement, he didn't expect him to be so careful, and to waste Mrs. Feitian's love for him.
"Meiniang, don't go, it's useless, my father has already made up my mind to deal with my mother, if we all go to intercede with my mother, my father will aggravate the treatment of my mother. Listen to the eldest brother, don't care about anything, and learn how to take care of the house with peace of mind. Wait until you marry into a good family in the future, and then come to intercede for your mother. Tian Yuanhe's face was as white as rice paper, and his eyes were cold.
Tian Meiniang instantly exploded, pushed him hard, and roared angrily: "Big brother, are you still my eldest brother?" His eyes glowed with a little light, his hands curled up tightly, his lips clenched, and he stared straight at him. Tian Yuanhe's expression was calm, "Meiniang, if you want to make your mother more miserable, you can go to your father to intercede, I won't stop you, but you have to think clearly!" Tian Yuanhe lowered his voice and walked to her, he said everything he had to say, and it was Tian Meiniang's business whether he listened or not.
Looking at his lonely back, Tian Meiniang fell into deep thought, and the maids bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound. I have to say that she was indeed deterred by Tian Yuanhe's words, and after thinking about it carefully, there is indeed some truth. Her eyes fell on the small Buddha hall not far away, which was close at hand, but she couldn't take a single step.
In the study, Master Tian listened to the report of the little man kneeling on the ground with a calm face, and his face gradually became solemn, until it was gloomy, with sharp edges and corners, which made people shudder. The little servant lay on the ground, hunched over and waited for Master Tian to speak. After a while, the old man waved his hand to signal him to leave, and the back of the little guy was soaked, and he hurriedly retreated. Now it was obvious that he had to move.
In the evening, Lin Dongxian went to the kitchen to cook red bean porridge and fried two side dishes before waking Zhou Mingmu up, he opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Lin Dongxian at the head of the bed, and held her in his arms with a wave of his big hand. Pressing on his body made Lin Dongxian feel a little out of breath, and hurriedly pushed him away hard, trying to stand up, but Zhou Mingmu's strength was greater than hers. "Lady, let me hug me."
Zhou Mingmu's low and hoarse voice sounded beside her, and she couldn't help but turn her head and glare at him. "Lady, don't be angry, let me hug you, and I'll get up." Zhou Mingmu saw that she didn't squeak, and came to her, Lin Dongxian simply closed her eyes and let him hold it. But after a while, Zhou Mingmu reluctantly let go and let her stand up, almost not standing firmly, so he reached out and held it behind him.
Lin Dongxian glanced back at him, "I'll go to the kitchen to bring food, you hurry up and get dressed." Zhou Mingmu looked at her fleeing in a hurry, and couldn't help but show a bright smile, it was rare to see her side. Lin Dongxian didn't walk in with the red bean porridge, so Zhou Mingmu strode over and accepted the red bean porridge in her hand and walked inside.
She went to the kitchen to bring two side dishes, and before she reached the door, she heard a rapid knock on the door, who would knock on the door so late? "Dong Xian, open the door, Dong Xian." Lin Zhiping's anxious voice broke her thoughts, "Dong Xian, I'll open the door." Zhou Mingmu walked out of the house, and the side dishes in her hand were still on the table.
After Lin Zhiping entered the door, he walked into the house without saying a word, Zhou Mingmu followed, he talked to Lin Zhiping just now, he liked to ignore it, it seemed that there was something important. Lin Dongxian raised her head and said with a smile: "Dad, you're here, have you had dinner, do you want to sit down and eat together?" ”
Lin Zhiping's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Eat, eat, you know how to eat." I asked you, what did you say to your mother, making her angry, and she hasn't opened the door until now, Dong Xian, you'd better tell me honestly, don't hide it from me! When lunch was ready, he went to call Wu, but after shouting for a long time, Wu was stunned and ignored him.
There was no way, he could only continue to knock on the door, just when he was anxiously about to kick the door in, Wu's cold voice came from the house, let him eat alone, she was not hungry, if she was hungry, she would come out to eat. Lin Zhiping also wanted to persuade Wu to come out for dinner, but she actually yelled at him impatiently and let her sleep quietly. When Lin Zhiping heard this, he had no choice but to rest and wait for the Wu family to be hungry.
Just waited like this, and when it got dark, Wu still refused to come out for dinner, and he thought of bumping into Lin Dongxian at the door. I suspect that what she said to Wu will make Wu so angry, she doesn't even eat, and the tone of talking to him is not particularly good.
Zhou Mingmu stepped forward to play a round game: "Dad, are you mistaken, how could Dong Xian make her mother angry." Dong Xian, don't pestle, come over and make it clear to your father. Winking at Lin Dongxian, signaling her to come to Lin Zhiping quickly and explain clearly, Lin Zhiping glanced at him: "Mingmu, this is our father and daughter's business, don't interfere." Zhou Mingmu: "......"
