Chapter 31: Opportunity
Lin Jiao knelt on the ground with her hair in a loose bun and cried bitterly, and the old lady in the long room on the kang lay on the two-color brocade mattress with her eyes half-closed.
The second old lady, Dong, took Lin Fang and Lin Yi to the bedside and asked the old lady in the long room in a low voice, "Old sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Yi went to help Lin Jiao on the ground, but Lin Jiao was already full of grief and refused to get up. Seeing this, the maid and mother-in-law next to her stepped forward to help, and then placed Linjiao on the chair.
The second old lady, Dong, asked Mother Bai beside her, "How does this work?" Did you invite Langzhong? ”
Mother Bai said, "Please, just wait outside, but the old lady doesn't want to see ......."
"Old sister-in-law, how can this work," the second old lady Dong comforted with a sad face, "How can you also look at the faces of these children, cherish your body, we have lived such a long time, what else has not passed." ”
As soon as the second old lady's voice fell, Lin Jiao began to cry again.
The second old lady, Dong, looked at Lin Fang and Lin Yi, "You two will help your eldest sister to rest next to you first." ”
Lin Fang and Lin Yi responded and took Lin Jiao to the east side room.
The second old lady Dong and the old lady of the long room were talking, and Lin Fang couldn't wait to test Lin Jiao, "Big sister, I heard that the eldest brother-in-law was arrested, is it true?" ”
Lin Jiao's heart trembled, and she was cold when she remembered that the officers and soldiers broke into the house and took her husband away. As if he had expected it, the husband looked back at her eyes, and he was reluctant to give up on her. She finally understood why her mother-in-law looked like that when her father-in-law was taken away, and when she heard that her family was exiled together, her mother-in-law was at peace. No matter where she goes, her husband will always be a pillar, without this pillar, everything will fall down and smash on the female dependent, she would rather go where her husband goes, her mother-in-law said well, even if the family dies, they will die in one place.
Lin Yi knew that her eldest brother-in-law was not in a good situation when she looked at Lin Jiao's expression.
Lin Fang didn't get the exact news and asked again, "What is it ......?"
Lin Yi opened her mouth to interrupt Lin Fang's words, "Eldest sister should take a break, maybe there will be news back in a while." ”
Lin Jiao raised her eyes and saw Lin Yi's eyes full of concern, "Eldest sister, there are still so many people in the family counting on you." ”
Yes, there is no final result yet, what if she messes up and her husband comes back? But after thinking about it, the Yuan family was framed step by step, those people were obviously immortal, and the husband went in like this, where would he come back, Lin Jiao covered her face and choked up.
Looking at Lin Jiao with snot and tears on her face, Lin Fang lost her previous enthusiasm. According to his father and mother, the emperor has newly appointed a group of civil officials, many of whom are from scholarly families, and many of them are acquaintances with the Yuan family. She thought that the Yuan family would be able to make a comeback, but who knew that it would be so useless, and even the eldest brother-in-law was implicated. Looking at the eldest sister like this, the Yuan family is completely finished this time.
In the inner room, the old lady of the long room asked Lang Zhong to check his pulse and eat a bowl of black decoction.
Seeing that the old lady in the long room had a better face, the second old lady Dong said, "What is the charge?" ”
The old lady of the long room shook her head, "I don't know yet, I still want to ask Yun Ning to find a way to inquire." ”
The second old lady Dong said: "Have you confiscated the documents?" ”
The old lady in the long room was weak, "I heard Lin Jiao say that the officers and soldiers took away all the books and letters at home, but they didn't take it." ”
The second old lady, Dong, frowned, "The eldest aunt is not serving in the imperial court, why was the letters confiscated?" ”
The old lady of the long room shook her head, "I can't think of a reason either." Hearing the bad news, she was about to call Lin Jiao to ask, but who knew that she heard that Lin Jiao was hanging her neck in the house, and her eyes were black for a while, and she only felt that the world was spinning...... Knowing that Lin Jiao was fine, she relieved her breath a little, and before she could ask Lin Jiao carefully, Dong had already entered the house, "I can only listen to the news and make plans." ”
The second old lady Dong nodded, "I also asked Yun Ning to ask the clan, how everyone should work together to save the eldest aunt, otherwise what should Lin Jiao do." ”
The old lady of the long house only gave birth to one son, and there was only one daughter under her son, who was Lin Jiao. The old lady of the long house died a long time ago, and then the eldest son was gone, Lin Jiao became the lifeblood of the old lady of the long house, Lin Jiao had an accident, the old lady of the long house must be anxious, the second old lady Dong sighed, but she didn't forget to calculate in her heart. She thought about the recovery of the Yuan family before, so she took the initiative to deal with the Yuan family, but now the Yuan family has no hope. But now there is a golden opportunity, if she can think of a way to help her eldest aunt, she can hold the long house, unless the old lady of the long house can succeed her son, otherwise she will not rescue the eldest aunt.
Even if the old lady of the long house likes Lin Yi no matter how much she likes, she can't watch her own granddaughter become a widow.
The second old lady, Dong, thought about comforting the old lady of the long house, "Sister-in-law is recuperating well, these things will be left to me, as long as there is news, I will ask Yunning to send a letter." Before the adoption, she really hoped that this concubine would live a long time.
After the inner room finished speaking, Lin Jiao's tears finally dried up, Lin Fang was bored and began to count the patterns on the red sandalwood kang table, and Lin Yi began to listen to Lin Jiao's intermittent story.
Lin Yi said: "So, there are no people living in the house anymore?" From the bottom of her heart, she hoped that Lin Jiao could come to live in the long house temporarily, so that she could discuss the old lady of the long house if she had something.
Lin Jiao sobbed: "It's just that the study is sealed." ”
Having said that, Xiao came in from outside and brought the medicine to Lin Jiao. The second old lady accompanied the old lady of the long room to talk, and Xiao Shi didn't have any room to interject, so he followed the next person to decoct the old lady of the long room and Lin Jiao.
After Lin Jiao finished taking the medicine, Xiao Shi was distressed and scared, "Why are you so ruthless, the old lady of the long house is just your granddaughter, what happens to you, where can the old lady eat." ”
Lin Jiao's tears came again, "I...... Wrong......"
Xiao stepped forward to comfort, "Okay...... All right...... It's always going to be fine......"
Xiao is not good at words, and what he says comes from the heart.
Lin Jiao refreshed her makeup, and Xiao led the sisters back to the inner room.
The old lady of the long room and the second old lady had already finished speaking.
The second old lady turned her head to look at Lin Jiao first, "Good boy, don't go back to the Yuan family first, it's better to stay for one night and then make plans." ”
Looking at her grandmother who was scared by herself on the bed, Lin Jiao bit her lip and nodded.
The second old lady called Lin Jiao over, "Really poor child, don't worry, your uncles in the family won't care, I will definitely stare at them and find a way." ”
Lin Jiao's tears were dripping down again, and at this moment she was only grateful to the second old lady.
After talking to Lin Jiao here, the second old lady looked at Lin Fang and Lin Yi again, "You two will stay with the old lady and Lin Jiao." ”
Lin Fang didn't expect it to be like this, her eyes widened, and when she heard Lin Yi agree, she bowed her head and said yes. After speaking, Lin Fang and Lin Yi went out first, Lin Fang pouted, "What about my covers?" My makeup box, rouge, incense powder, jewelry, cages, shoes, incense burners for lavender, spices, ...... I bathe with sesame oil and flower petals every day......"
Lin Fang chattered endlessly, Lin Yi told Linglong to go back and get some of her usual daily clothes, could she still owe her a futon on the long side?
……
Lin Fang and Lin Yi sent the second old lady Dong and the third wife Xiao to the Hanging Flower Gate.
Lin Yi deliberately walked behind with Xiao Shi, and let the second old lady and Lin Fang's ancestors and grandchildren talk.
"Pay more attention to the movement here," the second old lady lowered her voice, "If there is anything, let people come back and tell you." ”
Lin Fang nodded.
The second old lady was afraid that Lin Fang would not understand, "Someone will come to visit the old lady this day, I don't want to come over every time I get news." ”
It turned out that she was asked to stay in the long room because of this, "but why do you want to leave Linyi ......?"
The second old lady said: "That's what the old lady of the long house meant." ”
Lin Fang bit her lip, since this Lin Yi entered Beijing, she has been fighting with her everywhere.
The second old lady glanced at Lin Fang, "Now you should know how to think about it a little longer, right?" Lin Jiao lives in the long house, all the relatives of the Yuan family should come to visit, you must always be filial to the old lady in the long house, and you will have your benefits in the future. ”
A relative of the Yuan family.
Will the Lin family also come......
Didn't the Yuan family still want to rely on the Lin family to recover? Maybe...... Lin Fang's eyes lit up, "Maybe the Lin family can help." ”
Finally teachable. The second old lady nodded with satisfaction, "I'll ask your father to ask the Lin family." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Fang meaningfully.
What did grandmother mean by saying this to her? Linfang's face turned red suddenly.
The second old lady naturally won't speak more thoroughly, and she has been planning for the Lin family for a long time, so now it depends on what the Lin family means. It is impossible for the Lin family to come forward to help the Yuan family if they do not marry, if they take advantage of this matter to marry and pinch the throat of Changfang, it is to kill two birds with one stone.
