The maids stood aside with the paintings, Lin Fang rubbed the white jade pen tube in her hand again, the old lady in the long room knew that she was good at writing and ink, so she chose such a valuable gift, Lin Fang thought about looking at Lin Yi in the corner. Is it a girl from the countryside, how can the old lady of the long house take a fancy to her, coming to Beijing to walk around is just a walk around, and when her grandmother's birthday is over, she still has to go back to Funing. It's because my mother is so worried, even a tiger is just a paper paste.

Lin Fang couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, and everyone looked over.

Lin Fang covered her mouth and bowed her head slightly, "This painting was sent to the long room, and my grandmother couldn't say that she would think I was shallow and laugh at me." ”

Lin Fang said this, just to ask the old lady for a few more compliments.

The old lady smiled and was about to speak, when she raised her eyes to see the housekeeper and the two girls sneakily looking out of the window. The old lady couldn't help frowning, "Who's over there?" It's so unruly. ”

The old lady shouted loudly, and the people in front of the window did not dare to slack off and hurriedly entered the house.

"What's going on?"

As soon as the old lady asked, the housekeeper hurriedly lowered her head, and it took a long time for Ai Ai to say, "The gift from the old lady in the long room is wrong......" said and glanced at the old lady carefully.

Got the gift wrong?

The old lady frowned, and the eldest lady next to her, Dong's face, changed, "What gift is wrong?" Is it someone from the long house who is looking for it? ”

The woman's voice trembled slightly, "That's right over there, it's the slaves and maids who gave the wrong gifts to the young ladies." The woman's body was slightly owed, revealing the little maid who was trembling next to her.

The little maid hurriedly knelt down, "The slave maid accidentally sent the gift for the fourth lady to the sixth lady's room. ”

Lin Fang unconsciously took a step forward, "A gift for me?" He looked at Lin Yi as he spoke.

All eyes looked over, Lin Yi suddenly blushed, and stood up as if she had done something wrong, "I didn't know that the gift belonged to the fourth sister," said Linglong who looked at the side, "Go and get the box and return it to the fourth sister." ”

No wonder after the eldest aunt asked people to send gifts, the maids in the yard looked into her house from time to time.

It turned out to be this thought.

Linglong was busy getting things, and Lin Yi looked at the old lady for help, "I just looked at the things inside and didn't move." ”

The old lady was looked at by the soft gaze, and said kindly, "I don't blame you, it's the subordinates who don't have the heart to send the wrong one." ”

The housekeeper's head lowered a little more.

Lin Fang also laughed, "Who can be wrong, it's nothing to be a sister of your own family." As she spoke, she squeezed away the third lady next to her, and Lin Wan snuggled up to the old lady affectionately.

The third wife, Xiao Shi, also pulled Lin Yi to sit down, "It's rare that your fourth sister doesn't care about you." ”

While a few people were talking, Linglong had already taken the box, and the third wife, Xiao Shi, took it and handed it to Linfang with her own hands.

Lin Fang opened the box with a smile, and saw the three group flower gem hairpins in the box, Lin Fang was slightly stunned, "Why is it still ......" or group flower gem hairpins.

You can't give the same thing twice.

She thought that Lin Yiduo had taken her gift, but now she ...... The sound of "jumping" in her ears was like a string cracking.

If the gift in this box is hers, then whose gift is hers? Lin Fang's originally happy heart fell suddenly, and she was still holding the jade pipe sheep pen to show everyone......

Unexpectedly, the pen was not for her...... Lin Fang suddenly felt that her cheeks were on fire, and her triumphant expression appeared in front of her, but now it plummeted, and she didn't dare to raise her head again in front of everyone's eyes.

Lin Fang didn't speak, and the people in the room were not stupid, and they roughly guessed the reason.

Lin Yi casually looked at the old lady next to her, and the old lady's expression was slightly gloomy.

A jade pipe is just a sheep's pen, no matter how valuable it is, where would a young lady like Linfang, who grew up in Beijing, care very much.

Therefore, it is not the gift that is valuable, but the old lady of the long house looks at it differently.

In a place like the Chen family, this is probably the first time that such a thing has happened to give the wrong gift.

If no one is quietly arranging it inside, no one will believe it.

After Lin Fang finished fiddling with the pen, someone said that the gift was given by mistake, which was undoubtedly a heavy slap on the wrist to Lin Fang.

A quiet battle caught her in the middle.

If she raises an objection now, Lin Fang will inevitably lose face in front of everyone, and she will be regarded as a thorn in her side from now on.

Although she didn't want to help Linfang, she didn't want to be the arrow of others.

Lin Yi seemed to know nothing, and stepped forward to help the old lady.

The old lady stood up naturally, "Okay, the meals are all set, let's go over and eat!" ”

Lin Fang hurriedly closed the lid of the box and handed it to the maid beside her, but in the blink of an eye, the handkerchief in her hand was already soaked with sweat.

……

After eating, everyone went back to their respective homes.

Brother Heng and Lin Yi went to their parents' main house.

The maids poured the tea and retreated, and the third wife, Xiao Shi, asked Lin Yi, "What's the matter with the gift?" ”

Lin Yi said: "Probably I gave the wrong gift to the fourth sister, my share is the fourth sister's ......"

In other words, Lin Fang's share is Lin Yi's.

Thinking of the sheep's hair pen in Lin Fang's hand, the third wife, Xiao Shi, laughed, "I didn't expect the old lady of the long room to favor us Lin Yi." ”

Chen Yunyuan, who was half-lying on the kang, also felt sad when he heard Changfang's words, "The old lady of Changfang did things fairly and fairly, and the eldest brother of Changfang was also very good to me in the past, but I didn't expect the eldest brother to die young, and he didn't even leave a junior." ”

That's the biggest sticking point.

The long house has no children to inherit, and the old lady of the long house has never had a stepchild.

The third wife, Xiao Shi, sighed when she heard this, and asked the maid to go out and pour water to wash Chen Yunyuan's feet, and Lin Yi helped the big maid and Qing Kite bring the bottles and cans of medicinal powder.

Fujian is an official who works hard, there are hail and floods every year, Chen Yunyuan is also a disease that falls in the wind and rain, especially the abscess on the legs, which is not good with many medicines, but it is not good on weekdays, as long as it is stained with water, it will be red and swollen and ulcerated again, and Xiao Shi has to sigh every time he takes medicine.

Seeing that the abscess had improved somewhat this time, the third wife, Xiao Shi, couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, "The master grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and he is not used to the humidity of Fujian, if he stays in Beijing for a year and a half, this abscess will be better." ”

Chen Yunyuan looked down at his legs, he didn't feel it, "It's only been a few months since I entered Beijing for the exam, and I still have to go back when the time comes." ”

Her husband's illness has been lingering for several years, and the third wife, Xiao Shi, has seen it in her eyes, and now she finally has hope for how to give up. At the moment, my mind was hot, and I forgot that there were still a pair of children around me, "Lang Zhong said that the master's disease has hurt the root, and now it can be cured, why not stay in Beijing, anyway, the old man did not do well in Funing, and he was ostracized because he disagreed with his colleagues......"

"Nonsense, how can you be a woman who can talk about the officials of the court?" Back then, he wanted to leave the capital far away, let go of his hands and feet to show his ambitions, and his blood was washed clean by the rain over the years, and he often thought that it would be better to come back and be a Beijing official, but the things in the court are not what you want to do.

was yelled at by her husband, and the third wife, Xiao Shi, realized the gaffe and stopped discussing political affairs.

Lin Yi next to her had already heard it clearly.

My parents didn't want to go back to Funing.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, Lin Yi picked up the bat strings in the basket, thought of one thing, raised her face and asked Chen Yunyuan, "Father, was our Chen family a noble family in the past?" ”

Once upon a time? Chen Yunyuan turned upright, with some arrogance on his face, "Our Chen family is the founding meritorious, your uncle and grandfather are still the hereditary Marquis of Guangping, and now although our family has been deprived of the title, it is still a noble family." ”

Hearing the former glory of the Chen family, Brother Heng's eyes also lit up.

The third wife, Xiao Shi, didn't care about hearing too much, and after giving Chen Yunyuan the medicine powder to his injured leg, she was going to wash his feet.

Lin Yi asked carefully: "Then will the imperial court restore our family's title?" ”

It's not that easy. He went to Funing in the hope that he would have the opportunity to severely damage the pirates and pirates, and then made great contributions to the imperial court and restored the title of the Chen family. Chen Yunyuan chuckled, "It's not impossible, it's just not that easy." ”

Lin Yi talked a lot today, "If the imperial court restores our family's title, will it be my father's inheritance?" ”

Chen Yunyuan shook his head, the Great Zhou Dynasty is generally the eldest son inherits the title, so the title of Marquis of Guangping is inherited by the eldest uncle, "Even if the title is restored, it is also a long house......"

The third wife, Xiao Shi, was pulling Chen Yunyuan's feet into the water basin, but Chen Yunyuan's voice was interrupted at this time, Xiao Shi was startled and was about to test the water temperature, but Chen Yunyuan suddenly stepped on the ground barefoot.

Chen Yunyuan suddenly remembered that the eldest brother of the long house was gone, if the imperial court restored the title of the Chen family, the long house had no heirs, and the inheritance should be the second room.

He is the eldest son of the second room.

He used to think that Fujue was when the eldest brother of Changfang was alive, so he didn't think about himself at all, but now that Lin Yi mentioned it, he realized it...... In the past two years, the emperor has indeed restored some noble titles, and he recently heard his colleagues laughing and saying that when the son is benevolent today, maybe the Chen family will also have happy events.

He didn't think about it at the time. Now that I think about it, what those people said - happy event, maybe it is a reinstatement.

Chen Yunyuan walked around as he pondered, completely forgetting that he was barefoot.

After thinking about this, Chen Yunyuan stopped, and when he saw the stunned Xiao and a pair of children, Chen Yunyuan couldn't help laughing, "It's getting late, let's send Brother Heng and Lin Yi back first!" ”

……

Lin Yi and Brother Heng walked out of the inner room, and vaguely heard the third wife, Xiao Shi, complaining about Chen Yunyuan, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Yunyuan said: "It scared me. ”

Shaw didn't know what to do.

Lin Yi asked the maid and mother-in-law to accompany her and slowly walked back to the yard, I don't know when the drizzle fell, and the wind and rain hit the sideburns like cotton silk to form water droplets.

Lin Yi thought about everything she had encountered at the Chen family.

- Lin Fang led her to the East Garden and accidentally met Aunt Liu.

- The little maid gave the wrong gift to her and Linfang from the old lady of the long house.

- Everyone in the Chen family wants to please the old lady of the long house.

In this family, not only their family was regarded as an enemy, but the eldest uncle and the second uncle also guarded against each other and restrained each other.

All the threads come together......

If the Chen family is really reinstated, then everything can be reasonably explained.
