Wang Jibao hurriedly went to greet Lin Wanyan, and asked her mother-in-law what her preferences were, and then stopped by to see if her mother-in-law still needed to add and put together.

This little daughter-in-law has been married for so long, and she has not really dealt with the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she still can't adapt to the change of her new role.

"Mother-in-law." After Wang Jibao gave Lin Wanyan a salute, she naturally walked to Lin Wanyan's side and sat down with her.

Lin Wanyan, who has always liked children but has no chance to take care of them, feels very intimate about her little daughter-in-law's affectionate behavior.

She gently hugged Wang Jibao and said, "Sister Bao, you and I don't have to be too polite, it looks very alienated." Your mother is not in Shaoguo, so you can treat me as your mother. ”

"Okay." Thinking of his mother-in-law Jiang who was far away in Dayong, Wang Jibao's eyes were red for a while, her nose was a little stuffy, and her speech was also sullen.

Lin Wanyan felt distressed when she looked at Wang Jibao like this for no reason.

This child grew up in the palm of his hand from childhood to adulthood. Now that I am far away from my parents because I got married, it is pitiful enough.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyan patted the back of Wang Jibao's hand a few times lovingly and comforted: "It's okay, if you have time in the future, let Brother Xi accompany you home to see your parents." ”

"Well, that's what Lin Xi promised me." Although it will be difficult to achieve, my husband is very serious. Thinking of this, Wang Jibao put aside her thoughts about her relatives for the time being. Chao Lin Wanyan said: "Mother-in-law, I sometimes go straight, you have to tell me anything directly, I'm stupid, I'm not used to guessing other people's thoughts." Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must not have any misunderstanding in this regard. ”

Wang Xibao decided that it would be better to be open and honest in their first formal conversation and gain mutual trust. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult topic between women since ancient times.

Lin Wanyan is quite kind like a runner; "Good. Then I'll leave it at that. Seeing Wang Jibao nodding desperately, she continued: "Although I gave birth to Brother Xi'er, Brother Xi was taken away by his father as soon as he landed. I've always felt sorry that I couldn't bring him up with my own hands. You have to give me a big fat grandson as soon as possible, and let me help take care of it. This last sentence is not without a joke in it. After she finished speaking, she also smiled and waited for how Wang Jibao would answer.

Belch? Mother-in-law, you are too direct.

But Lin Wanyan imagined that her little daughter-in-law would blush when she heard it, which was destined to disappoint her. Wang Jibao said very happily: "Okay." As long as my father-in-law agrees. ”

It is estimated that my father-in-law will definitely oppose it at that time.

This daughter-in-law hasn't been with her for twenty years, how can she still call a child to distract her.

When dinner was ready, Lin Wanyan left Wang Jibao to eat with her. This time, she did not shy away from taking off the veil that she used to cover her face at any time.

Lin Wanyan watched Wang Ji Baozai staring carefully at the ugly scar on her left cheek, and smiled bitterly: "It's ugly, isn't it?" ”

"It's not ugly! It can be said that if it were not for this scar, you would be more beautiful than your father-in-law. Wang Jibao said sincerely.

This should have been a face that was not only beautiful, but also very charming. But it was because of the long, protruding scar on the surface of the skin that destroyed it.

Obviously, this scar is acquired due to man-made reasons.

When she heard Wang Jibao say that she was more beautiful than Zhu Yonghong, Lin Wanyan laughed out loud and said, "What kind of analogy are you?" If your father-in-law hears this, you have to be angry. ”

When Lin Wanyan thought of Zhu Yonghong when she was young, she often looked for someone to work hard because others treated him as a girl, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.

At that time, Zhu Yonghong really looked like a girl, and she was wrong at first.

"Are you a sister? How could they make you do such heavy work? Lin Wanyan was still innocent and sympathetic at that time, watching Zhu Yonghong chopping wood in the courtyard where his subordinates lived.

If others called him sister, it is estimated that Zhu Yonghong would have already taken the axe in his hand to cut people. But as soon as he saw a beautiful little girl in front of him, who was sympathetic and radiated kindness to himself, his heart softened for no reason.

"Sister, why don't you speak?" Kobayashi Wanyan chased after Zhu Yonghong and asked.

Xiao Zhu Yonghong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a boy, not some damn sister." ”

When Xiaolin Wanyan heard him say this, she lowered her head a little embarrassed and said, "It's me who is not good, I apologize to you, don't be angry." "It's not good to look good when you're angry.

"You don't have to apologize, it's dirty here, you can leave." Xiao Zhu Yonghong rushed to humanity with a cold face.

"Then I'll come back to you next time." Kobayashi Wanyan actually said this very seriously, but how could Zhu Yonghong, who was called by his grandmother as a slave at that time, take it seriously?

Lin Wanyan's father is a cousin of Zhu Yonghong's mother, Lin, who is a little farther away, and belongs to the side branch of the Ruyang Hou Mansion.

Lin Wanyan came to Shaoguo Mansion this time with her father and mother to Shaojing to congratulate the Lin family on her birthday. The family lives in their ancestral house in the countryside not far from Shaojing.

Because they were born in a side branch, when they came to the Shaoguo Mansion this time, their family was arranged in a guest room next to the next person.

Because of this, she initially only regarded Zhu Yonghong, who lived in the lower room, as a subordinate of the Shaoguo Mansion.

Although their family was discriminated against when they came to Shaoguo Mansion, they were not bad in terms of food. As long as the little girl has something delicious, she will think about giving it to Zhu Yonghong to eat.

She always felt that the boy who was as thin as a young lady had a bad life. In particular, the food is left over from others. This is what she secretly saw.

Because there was only a wall apart, when Xiaolin Wanyan delivered food for the first time, she had to move a ladder with difficulty, and then it took a long time to climb to the wall to give it to Zhu Yonghong.

Zhu Yonghong kept a cold face to other little girls at first, but in the end, he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of other little girls, and slowly accepted the little girl's kindness.

It's a pity that this period is too short. The little girl only stayed in the Shaoguo Mansion for less than a month.

It can be said that Kobayashi Wanyan was the first person to release kindness to Zhu Yonghong. That's why. Zhu Yonghong will always remember this little girl.

That year, Zhu Yonghong was twelve years old and Lin Wanyan was ten years old.

It is precisely because of the appearance of Lin Wanyan that Zhu Yonghong decided that he must fight for his future.

In the end, he took the money he had accumulated for a long time, secretly climbed onto the vegetable seller's ox cart, and ran out of the corner gate of the house.

That money was actually less than five taels of silver. There is also a huge amount of money in this, which is the money that his father Zhu Zhen gave his mother a jade bracelet with an excellent head when he doted on his mother.

That jade bracelet was used to buy medicine for her when Zhu Yonghong's mother was sick. It's a pity that in the end, his mother went early because the treatment was not timely, and she was sick and working. Before his mother died, he asked him to hide the rest of the money secretly.

Zhu Yonghong, who ran out of the Shaoguo Mansion, was determined to get ahead. And he heard that the fastest way to get ahead is to fight on the battlefield. So he inquired about many people, and only then did he know that the military department was recruiting strong men into the army.

Because he was young and looked like a girl, the people in the military department directly brushed him down. Later, I happened to meet Feng Junting, the eldest son of Yong'an Hou. Feng Junting learned Zhu Yonghong's identity in a casual conversation with Zhu Yonghong, perhaps because he was also a concubine, Feng Junting felt the same way, and finally helped Zhu Yonghong join the army.

Feng Junting is Feng's cousin, and he relied on the relationship of the Yong'an Hou Mansion to become a general of the sixth grade. Zhu Yonghong finally entered the barracks as Feng Junting's personal soldier.

One was born in the Shaoguo Mansion, and the other was born in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, both of them were concubines, and their identities were comparable, and Zhu Yonghong should be higher than Feng Junting, but because of the difference in their respective circumstances, they were pulled out of such a big distance at the beginning.

When he joined the army, Zhu Yonghong did not spend his own silver taels, on the contrary, the military department also gave him three taels of strong money in Feng Junting's face.

Besides, after Zhu Yonghong left the Shaoguo Mansion, not only did no one look for him, on the contrary, the Lin family breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced: this person finally left by himself. Then his life and death have nothing to do with her mother-in-law.

Before enlistment, everyone has a few short days to reunite with their families and say goodbye. At this time, how could Zhu Yonghong return to the place where he was almost buried, the only thing he thought of was the little girl who was kind to him, and he wanted to say goodbye to her.

In Zhu Yonghong's opinion at that time, maybe only that kind little girl could still remember him in the future.

Although Zhu Yonghong was not welcomed in the Shaoguo Mansion, he was as smart as him, and he observed the things around him very carefully since he was a child.

He felt that if he was going to meet someone, he should give a gift.

So he visited almost all the smaller gold and silver shops, and spent almost all his savings, and finally bought a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants.

When he found a very remote house behind the ancestral house of the Hou family in Ruyang, he had a hard time with the father and mother of the little girl, and said that he might never return, and finally got the consent of the father and mother of the little girl of the other family, and saw the little girl he had been thinking about.

In the end, before Lin separated, Zhu Yonghong handed over a phoenix-shaped jade pendant to Lin Wanyan, and left a dragon-shaped jade pendant for himself. The two made a ten-year agreement.

But when Zhu Yonghong was less than twenty years old, he worked hard and made some achievements, and when he came back and wanted to marry the little girl he longed for, he couldn't find the family where Lin Wanyan lived.

Later, I inquired about it in many ways and found out that the little girl's father and mother had died one after another in the past few years when he went to the battlefield.

The little girl was finally picked up by her grandfather's family.
