207 Matchmaking

Mei's jade pendant in the cabinet also said that when she got married, she would be the bottom of the box, who would have thought that she would be sold to the palace as a concubine by the princess. Mei has never had the opportunity to hand over the jade pendant to her, but it's a pity. Lin Dongxian was also curious why Lin He told her about it, and what she said next made Lin Dongxian's heart tremble. This jade pendant was not Mei's thing, but a meeting gift that Wu married her when she was married, and it has always been collected by Mei's.

The jade pendant given by the Wu family, Lin Dongxian suddenly remembered that the Mei family did give her a jade pendant and let her go to the town to be fooled, in exchange for one hundred taels of silver. That's death, why did Mrs. Tian find Lin He with a jade pendant? Could it be that there is something wrong with this jade pendant, and how did it get into the hands of Mrs. Tian? It is impossible for Mrs. Tian to come to the door with a jade pendant for no reason, it seems that the jade pendant is very important to her, what is the secret behind it, Lin Dongxian doesn't want to break her head, forget it!

Lin He reminded right, she really had to be careful, in case the shopkeeper confessed her portrait, it would not be good, she prayed deeply that the shopkeeper forgot her appearance. When she arrived home, she happened to see Zhou Mingmu coming back in a carriage, and Lin Dongxian said happily: "Mingmu, you are back." "Hmm!" Zhou Mingmu replied lightly, but her face didn't seem to look good, she still wanted to ask, but she just forgot it at the door, and it was not too late to ask when she went back.

After entering the house, Zhou Mingmu sat for a long time without moving, Lin Dongxian felt that something was wrong, walked over slowly, patted him on the shoulder and walked down: "Mingmu, do you have something on your mind?" Zhou Mingmu slowly looked up at her, his narrow eyes were calm, and he shook his head and said, "Dong Xian, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Zhou Mingmu, I'm still not your mother, you don't believe me like this and refuse to tell me. You didn't come back last night, and you didn't come back until now, and you told me it was okay, and you didn't want me to know. In your eyes, I'm such a useless person that I can't share it with you, can I? Lin Dongxian raised her eyes and glanced at him fiercely, and in an instant Zhou Mingmu's face was as blue as pig iron, it turned out that she had been together for so long, in her eyes, it was so unbearable.

originally wanted Zhou Mingmu to confess to her, but now it's okay, he just raised his feet without saying a word. The angry Lin Dongxian twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a hemp rope, she still didn't relieve her anger, she got up and stomped her feet, and scolded secretly, he had better not appear in front of her again, otherwise he must beat him hard, so that he will remember it for a long time in the future, the couple has something to discuss, what to do in their hearts?

Lin Dongxian took two sips of the teacup on the table in annoyance, and then put down the teacup, and a pair of blue soap boots appeared in front of her, hum, even if he apologized now, it would be too late. Lin Dongxian stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at the back of Zhou Mingmu leaving, and left without a sound, glancing at the box he was carrying in his hand, why didn't she pay attention just now.

Could it be that he turned back to take the box, the more he thought about it, the more ugly Lin Dongxian's face became, and the corners of his mouth pulled a wry smile, in Zhou Mingmu's heart, he didn't know how to cherish it if he married her, his heart was horizontal, he gritted his teeth and ran to him with his hands open to stop him: "Zhou Mingmu, you are not allowed to go, make the words clear, what are you going to go?" ”

stared at the expressionless Zhou Mingmu categorically, "Lady, what do you want me to say, it's actually nothing serious, I can solve it." I know the kindness of the lady, and the husband is here to admit the mistake to the lady, and I hope that the lady will not remember the villain and spare the husband this time. Looking at Zhou Mingmu, who was bowing her head, Lin Dongxian was a little puzzled, daring to make trouble unreasonably with her. Lady, I know you have a relationship with me, but it's really nothing. He already had a bright smile, and Lin Dongxian glanced at him: "Is there really nothing?" ”

The ghost only believed that he treated her like a three-year-old child, and he really obeyed him. Zhou Mingmu immediately raised his hand and swore an oath: "Lady, I swear to God, there is absolutely nothing wrong, if the lady is really not good, I can still swear poison." "It's all said and done, Lin Dongxian doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, since Zhou Mingmu doesn't want to say it like this, it means something important.

If you don't tell her, it's for her good, and if you know, you might have to worry about it, forget it, don't worry about him. After figuring it out, she reluctantly gave Zhou Mingmu a smile, and Zhou Mingmu's low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears: "Lady, my husband really knows that she is wrong." He glanced up at him and snorted coldly, "Okay, I know, let's go cook!" ”

"Okay, let's go for the husband, don't be angry anymore." Zhou Mingmu quickly ran away with the box, and turned back before he reached the door, "Lady, this is the pastry I bought for you when I went to Babaozhai, you can taste it, don't be angry." "Lower your posture and coax her. Lin Dongxian couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Okay, I'm not angry, you go cook." Open the exquisite box, inside are her favorite pastries, there are hibiscus cakes, mung bean cakes and pea yellow, it is rare for Zhou Mingmu a big man to remember, and his heart instantly feels warm.

The housekeeper saw Master Tian in a brown robe get out of the carriage from a distance, hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully: "Master, Madame is waiting for you in the courtyard, so that you can go to see her as soon as you return home." Master Tian glanced at him coldly, he went back to the house, could he not go to see Mrs. Tian.

The housekeeper carefully observed Master Tian's reflection, it was not ordered by the lady, how did he know that the master would not care so much, hey, it is difficult to be a housekeeper these days. Mrs. Tian heard that Master Tian had returned home, and before she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw that the housekeeper had brought Master Tian over, and she breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the housekeeper had listened to her words. When I looked back, I remembered to ask the maid to give him ten taels of silver, and if I was so heartfelt to her, I would definitely reward him heavily.

After Master Tian entered the house, Mrs. Tian gave the maid a look and asked them all to go out, and when there was only Master Tian left in the house, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but say again: "Master, the concubine has gone to investigate, Mrs. Wang doesn't know this jade pendant at all, what do you say to do now?" ”

She went to ask Lin He, and she had been waiting for Master Tian to come back, who knew that he would not come back until now. A hint of surprise flashed in Old Master Tian's eyes, and he looked up at her, "Madam, are you sure that Young Lady Wang doesn't know this jade pendant?" Mrs. Tian's heart tightened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, the concubine did ask her, and she didn't want to lie when she looked at her." This was a problem, and the person he sent out to inquire told him that the shopkeeper of the pawnshop at that time only remembered that the little girl's accent was not from the town, but like the accent of Qingping Village.

He sent people to Qingping Village to investigate, preparing to go door to door to find out who owned this jade pendant. As a result, it took a lot of effort to find out from Lin Zhiwu's mouth that this jade pendant was the jade pendant that his daughter-in-law had stored in the cabinet. He had seen it countless times, and he wanted to take it out countless times, but finally he held back.

After Mei's burial, he immediately went to the cabinet to rummage through the cabinets to find the jade pendant, but he couldn't find it. He felt that something was wrong at the time, Mei clearly said that he would give her to Lin He as a dowry, but Lin He married into the Wang family as a concubine, and their family didn't give any dowry, and a sedan chair sent her to the palace as a concubine. Could it be that the jade pendant disappeared and was stolen, so Lin Zhiwu forcibly took away ten taels of silver from the hands of the little guy, and raised the beard of Old Man Tian.

After asking for a long time, Lin Zhiwu didn't know where Mei's jade pendant came from, and he didn't come up with a good reason for half a day, and finally the little guy glared at him coldly, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and threatened him, telling him to explain honestly. Lin Zhiwu pushed away the dagger and asked the little girl to find Lin He, she has a deep relationship with Mei's mother and daughter, maybe she can tell her.

When the little servant came back to tell Master Tian, he specially sent someone to inquire about Mei's mother's family, and made sure that she was not the person he was looking for, so he gave up. turned to target Lin He, as a man, it was difficult for him to see Lin He, so he had to let Mrs. Tian come forward. I didn't expect to go out and didn't hear good news from Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian was full of thoughts, and Mrs. Tian stood quietly silent, looking unhappy.

It's not that she doesn't contribute, Lin He insists that he doesn't know this jade pendant, there are only two possibilities, or Lin Zhiwu deceived them, and the jade pendant is not Mei's. Either Lin He lied to her and didn't tell her the truth. Old Man Tian got up from his chair and glanced at Mrs. Tian with a frown, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to inquire and tell you what to do?" ”

Mrs. Tian immediately nodded and said, "Okay, master, the concubine listens to you." Master Tian left satisfied, and Mama walked into the house and massaged Mrs. Tian, who was lying on the couch. Mrs. Tian was still wondering who was lying to them. As soon as Jin Kuiye entered the hall, she saw Zhou Mingyue sitting and drinking tea with her mouth pouted, and when she saw him walk in, she immediately put down the teacup in her hand and ran over, and said with joy on her face: "Godfather, you are back, let me wait." ”

"Are you afraid that your godfather won't give you New Year's money, come, take it." Jin Kuiye laughed twice, and casually took out two silver tickets worth one hundred taels from his sleeve and handed them to her. Zhou Mingyue frowned, "Godfather, I'm not here to ask you for New Year's money, I have something important to tell you, you come with me." Recklessly, he pulled Jin Kuiye to sit down, Jin Kuiye looked up at the subordinates who were cleaning in the hall, and looked at them coldly, and the subordinates took a few steps back and stayed away from them.

Zhou Mingyue said in a low voice: "Godfather, my mother is sick." "Your mother is sick?" Jin Kuiye thought for a while, shouldn't it, when I saw Mrs. Zhou a few years ago, her complexion was not bad, why did she get sick within a few days. Zhou Mingyue was overjoyed, seeing his expression, he seemed to be worried about her mother, and became more and more sure that Lin Dongxian had taught her the right method.

"Godfather, did you listen to me?" Zhou Mingyue gently tugged at his sleeve, Jin Kuiye quickly came back to his senses and coughed twice: "Yue'er, I'm listening, the doctor said what's wrong with your mother, does it matter?" Just about to look up at Zhou Mingyue, I saw her red eyes, Jin Kuiye was a little at a loss, and hurriedly persuaded: "Yue'er, don't cry first, tell your godfather, what did the doctor say?" ”

Could it be that Mrs. Zhou's situation is not good, his heart is about to jump to his throat, Zhou Mingyue don't patronize and be sad, but tell him the truth! Zhou Mingyue couldn't help crying anymore, causing the subordinates to raise their eyes to look, Jin Kuiye snorted a few times, and the subordinates lowered their heads in fright, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. They didn't see anything, they didn't see Jin Kuiye bullying the little girl.

Jin Kuiye stood up anxiously and strode up to her, "Yue'er, don't cry yet, tell me quickly, what did the doctor say about your mother?" "The doctor said that my mother won't live long, godfather, how can this be, you want to find a way to save my mother, godfather, Yue'er begs you." Zhou Mingyue cried while kneeling in front of Jin Kuiye.

Jin Kuiye helped her get up, "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, your mother will be fine, you go back with me, I'll go see your mother." A trace of thought flashed in Zhou Mingyue's eyes, what Lin Dongxian said was really right, the godfather still cares about her mother very much, it seems that there is really a drama. She also fought hard for her mother to be with her godfather, and I hope that my godfather will not resent her at that time.

Zhou Mingyue reluctantly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and left with Jin Kuiye's pace. Before Mrs. Zhou could react, Zhou Mingyue threw herself down in front of her bed and cried at her, this girl told her mysteriously before, try not to speak in front of Jin Kuiye, and pretend to be weak. She probably knows it in her heart, this girl is afraid that she wants to match the two of them, it's really rare for her to have this heart.

Originally, she was afraid of Zhou Mingyue before, so she never remarried, and found someone who knew the cold and the hot to live again. After this incident of being kidnapped by the mountain bandits, she slowly thought about it, life is only a few decades in a hurry, she has wasted half of it, and she can't keep it anymore. Jin Kuiye raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Zhou, who was wearing a lake-blue gauze dress, with a comb on her head and only a golden hairpin inserted on it.

The ruddy face that had just raised was a little whiter, and her eyes were still the same as before, clear and shining, I saw her raise her hand to wipe Zhou Mingyue's tears: "You kid, don't cry, Boss Jin, I'm really sorry to let you see the joke." It's all my goddaughter, and I ask you not to see it. ”

"Mother, when is it, you are still worried about this, you are dying, mother, I don't want you to leave my side, I don't want to lose you." The more I cried, the louder it became, and even the maid standing outside felt uncomfortable when she heard it, how difficult it was for the big girl! The corners of Jin Kuiye's mouth twitched, Mrs. Zhou was not dead yet, she was crying so sadly, of course, he looked calm at the helpless look that Mrs. Zhou handed over.

However, Mrs. Zhou didn't look closely, and then set her eyes on Zhou Mingyue's body. Jin Kuiye clenched his fists, he finally liked a woman, and he could be friends with her, God was not thin on him. Unexpectedly, he was so ruthless that he wanted to take away her life, Jin Kuiye secretly swore that no matter how many methods he tried and how much money he spent, he would find a famous doctor to treat Mrs. Zhou.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Mingyue knocked on the door of Lin Dongxian's house with a smile and held her arm affectionately: "Sister, I have good news for you, my godfather is talking to my mother now!" "She still didn't want to be a light bulb for the two of them, and ran out as soon as possible to report the good news to Lin Dongxian. Zhou Mingmu was tired yesterday, she insisted on letting him sleep more in bed, which is why she was the one who opened the door.
