Chapter 10: The Beloved

Lin Yi walked out of the moon gate, and heard Lin Fang say behind her back, "It's still raining, so naturally you have to wear tang clogs, and you will wear that azure marigold makeup dress outside......"

Hearing these words, Lin Yi smiled rarely.

Linglong next to her looked a little stunned, and when Miss Liu's face was calm, she looked at the flat and soft, and sometimes showed a rare smile...... Sharp. In the past, she could know what Miss Six wanted, but now she was a little confused, "Miss, I'll go back and prepare first." ”

Lin Yi tilted her head, "What are you going to prepare?" ”

"Mademoiselle wants to re-dress, right?"

The old lady of the long room is suffering from a sudden illness, they are going to visit, as long as they are dressed generously and decently, who is still in the mood to appreciate the golden silk jade pendant and the ring pendant, Lin Yi said: "Just fill in a lotus plum blossom pattern jacket." ”

Linglong vaguely understood, and hurriedly prepared.

……

Lin Yi helped the old lady to sit in and put down the sedan curtain, and Lin Fang was late.

Lin Yi and Lin Fang got into the small sedan chair at the back respectively.

The eldest lady Dong and the third wife Xiao were sent to the weeping flower gate, seeing that the old lady and her party were gone, the third wife Xiao said: "The old lady in the long room doesn't know how sick she is, shouldn't we also prepare, in case there is definite news, it will be better to pass." ”

The eldest lady Dong squeezed out a smile for a long time, "What the third brother and sister said is true. ”

When Xiao took someone back, Dong couldn't help but sneer, no one would take the initiative to send the news to the door, Dong turned his head and instructed Fang's mother, "Let people go to the yamen to find the master, tell the old lady in the long room to the master, and ask the master to go over to help after the yamen." "The long room is full of female dependents, how can no man do it, and it is at this time that he must be a filial son and grandson.

……

The sedan chair went straight into the garden of the long house.

Although the old lady of the long house likes to be quiet, but after all, this is the old house of the Chen family, the strange stone scene, the stacked mountains and rivers are spacious and atmospheric, the bluestone bricks along the road are grinding out the pattern, the beams, columns, doors and windows and the cornice rafters are all painted and painted, the square archway is carved with the auspicious pattern of Fushou Shuangquan, and the courtyard is planted with oleander all around.

The sedan chair stopped at the Moon Gate, and the old lady was lifted in the garden with his shoulders raised, while Lin Fang and Lin Yi walked along the corridor.

Lin Fang only took two steps, and when she saw the daughter-in-law and maid who came to serve the umbrella, she complained, "Why did you only carry your grandmother in?" What about us? Isn't it slow to walk like this, when will I see my uncle and grandmother? ”

A few maids didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly apologized: "There are guests at home, and our old lady is sick again, so I really can't take care of it." ”

Lin Fang frowned, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about my uncle's illness." ”

Lin Fang often came to the long room to walk around, and everyone knew each other very well, so she hurriedly bowed and said: "Fourth Miss, don't worry, our old lady has taken medicine, and her illness has eased." ”

Lin Fang's face immediately turned happy when she heard this, "Is Lang Zhong here?" How so? ”

The daughter-in-law next to her smiled and said, "The old lady doesn't sleep well, so she has an old illness." ”

Lin Fang folded her hands and recited the Buddha, "In this way, it seems that it will be good to raise it well." ”

When the daughter-in-law heard Lin Fang speak like this, she seemed to be relieved a lot, "Presumably, the old lady saw that the young ladies were coming, and her heart was more comfortable." ”

The subordinates of the long room replied to Lin Fang all the way, and unconsciously left Lin Yi cold, Lin Fang deliberately turned her head to look at Lin Yi, only to see that Lin Yi was indifferent as if she didn't care.

A punch on the cotton, Lin Fang felt a little depressed.

Lin Fang and the stars walked in front like the moon, and when they arrived at Nianci Hall, they rushed over like a fire, and half-knelt in front of the old lady Li Shikang in the long room.

The carved descendants of the generations of the dwarf kitchen are placed with green bamboo bottles, the four-legged incense burner is like a leaking incense burner with the smell of benzoin, the maid and the mother-in-law stand on both sides with their hands down, and the old lady in the long room is half leaning on the purple round life word Caijin pillow to comfort Lin Fang next to her, "Good boy, get up!" ”

Lin Yi felt the gaze of the old lady in the long room, and she stepped forward respectfully and saluted.

The old lady in the long room called Lin Yi over and sat down, "When the third child left Beijing, I remember that the sixth girl was only that big," she said and stretched out her hand to compare, "In a blink of an eye, she will become a big girl." ”

Although the old lady of the long room did not smile much, there was a warm breeze in her eyes, "Reading?" ”

Lin Yi nodded, "Read." ”

The old lady of the long room said: "What do you read?" ”

Cater to the elders naturally say to read some women's books, and before entering Beijing, the third wife Xiao Shi also explained to her as long as others asked, how would she answer.

Lin Yi said: "The family invited a female gentleman, and I not only read women's books but also some poems. ”

It's not a stereotypical answer, and there's no desire to explore her preferences. She had seen too many thoughtful eyes over the years, and the old lady of the long room smiled slightly, "So, my sheep is right." ”

At the mention of the sheep's hair, Lin Fang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and looked straight at Lin Yi with a pair of eyes, for fear that Lin Yi would say something.

Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't mention the section of giving the wrong gift, but just thanked the old lady in the long room again.

The old lady of the long room stretched out her hand, "Okay, okay, don't thank you for it." As he spoke, his chest tightened and he couldn't help coughing twice.

Lin Fang hurriedly went to the low table to get the phlegm box and served it to the old lady in the long room with her own hands.

The old lady in the long room refused to use it, so she let the big girl next to her take it and then spit and rinse her mouth.

Lin Fang couldn't help but be disappointed for a while, the old lady in the long room had a strange temper, and she always looked lukewarm to people.

The old lady of the long room rested for a while, and her wheezing gradually calmed down.

The old lady Dong looked at the old lady in the long room worriedly, "The old sister-in-law should take care of her body more," she said and sighed, "There should also be someone close to you." ”

Lin Fang's eyes jumped when she heard this, and the whole person couldn't wait to get into the arms of the old lady in the long room.

The old lady of the long room shook her head, "People are old...... No matter what...... It's useless......" looked at Lin Fang in front of the bed, "How can I have your blessings, there are four girls around me who are so pleasing to people." ”

Lin Fang's heart suddenly beat like a drum, if the old lady said a few words at this time, the old lady of the long room was very likely to keep her by her side......

Sure enough, I only heard the old lady smile and said: "If my sister-in-law likes it, I will leave the four girls, and this child can be regarded as having a fate with my sister-in-law." ”

"How's that going to work?" The old lady of the long room smiled, "I know you can't do without her." ”

The old lady was still talking, but the old lady in the long room couldn't stop coughing, and the maid and mother-in-law were busy waiting for her, tossing for a while. Lin Fang finally waited for the old lady of the long room to calm down, but the old lady of the long room no longer said what she said before.

Everyone sat down for a while, and the housekeeper's mother took Lin Fang and Lin Yi to the side room.

Lin Yi and Lin Fang sat down, and heard a sound of footsteps outside, and a faint maid said, "The eldest lady is here." ”

Lin Fang raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked Lin Yi, "Did you hear, the eldest sister is here." ”

The old lady of the long house gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Chen family, the daughter Xingsan is the third aunt and grandmother that Lin Yi saw before, the eldest son Chen Yunli died young, and his wife Zhang also followed in a few years, leaving only the eldest lady Lin Jiao, Lin Jiao married the second son of Yuan Jingke, the head of the Hanlin Academy, a few years ago, it was originally a family affair of the scenery, but I didn't expect that in the second year of marriage, Yuan Bachelor was implicated because of the household greed, the Yuan family was confiscated, and Yuan was exiled to Shangyang Fort.

Thanks to the old lady of the long house, she was able to protect Yuan Erye and Lin Jiao, and now the couple is renting a three-entry courtyard in the capital.

These are all things that Lin Yi heard from her parents.

Lin Fang looked out the window and said, "Should we go and see the eldest sister?" ”

Since arriving in the long room, Lin Fang seems to be very interested in everything. Especially when the maid mentioned Linjiao, Linfang was like a puppet with a thread, and her snow-white neck was stretched all of a sudden.

The girl next to Linfang, Mingying, observed everything in detail, along with the medicine bowl where the old lady took medicine.

At this time, there was movement outside, and Mingying even found an excuse to go out.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange. The old lady Dong used to have the intention of winning over the eldest sister, that was because the Yuan family was famous, and it was naturally beneficial to climb the Yuan family.

But since the Yuan family was convicted, the old lady broke off contact with the eldest sister.

How could he be so enthusiastic about Lin Jiao now.

Lin Yi was thinking about it, Ming Ying opened the glass curtain, walked quickly to Lin Fang's side and whispered, "I heard that the eldest aunt brought two cousins to greet the old lady in the long room." ”

No wonder the old lady in the long room would let her and Lin Yi avoid it, it turned out that a foreign man entered the door.

Two cousins of the eldest brother-in-law...... Are there any ...... among them?

Lin Fang hurriedly looked at Lin Yi next to her, "Sixth sister, let's go over and say hello to the eldest sister!" "Don't miss the opportunity, even if you look behind the screen.

Lin Yi looked left and right, and was a little undecided.

Lin Fang couldn't help but grit her teeth, this Lin Yi is not good-looking, and her temperament is gentle, she has never seen a hillbilly in the world, and she dragged her down in vain.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the fourth sister will go!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Fang stood up without saying a word, and went to pick up the glass curtain with her own hands.

Lin Fang only took one step and was stunned, and someone followed her eldest brother-in-law into the house, she looked over casually, but her heart couldn't help but beat like a drum at a glance.

It's not like she's never seen a handsome man.

There is no shortage of brothers in the clan...... It's just that none of them can compare to that glimpse just now......

Others will be insignificant compared to him.
