Lin Tangxiao and her sister accompanied her grandmother to leave in the car, while Mingcan stayed by Lin Xian's side. After the shocking experience just now, Lin Xian had palpitations, and today he decided not to let her ride the horse alone.

He took her down and led her to the pergola. The pergola left some snacks and hot tea, just to crush the little girl.

After such a toss, physically and mentally exhausted, Mingcan was really a little hungry, so he took a piece of rose lotus paste cake and slowly nibbled it in his hand. gnawed very attentively, and after biting half of it, she found Lin Xian sitting in the armchair next to her, quietly watching her.

"Brother Xian, what do you think I do?"

Lin Xian found that the corners of her clothes had fallen into dust somewhere, and leaned down to dust her off. "It's nothing, it's just, watching you eat a lot like a person."

"Who?" Mingchan tilted his head and asked him expectantly.

Lin Xian shook his head and shirked: "You don't know you either." ”

"Who do you say?" Like her mother? She rarely heard about her mother. It was a warm but vague word.

Lin Xian still shook his head, and at this moment, a few tall figures came in outside the pergola, and the sunlight outside was instantly blocked, and the shed was darkened.

People came in against the light, Mingcan couldn't see clearly at first glance, and when they got closer, she recognized it as Brother Hong and the two uncles.

These two uncles were of average stature, in their forties, wearing brown and black robes, but one had a serious and cold expression, and the other was talking to Lin Hongyu happily.

Mingcan has not officially met the two uncles since she arrived at Wuqingbo's mansion, it's not that she doesn't know how to be polite, it's just that Lin Xian proposed to go a few times, and they all said that they were busy and didn't have to go. This matter has been delayed ever since.

Unexpectedly, my uncle and nephew met in the pergola.

Lin Xian hurriedly got up and saluted the stern-looking one, respectfully called "father", and said to the other: "Second uncle." ”

Wuqing Bolin Hengfeng said "um", and he didn't mean to talk to his eldest son more. However, the second old man Lin Hengling asked him with a smile: "Sibin, today's horse can ride happily?" ”

Lin Xian nodded, "I came out today mainly to teach my two cousins." ”

As soon as he said this, both of them couldn't help but look at the brother and sister sitting on the chair over there, Xue Mingyu had already stood up and walked over to salute, Mingcan was originally drinking tea, but he was also led by his brother.

The two of them saluted obediently and shouted, "Uncle, uncle." ”

"These are Sister Yi's two children?" Lin Hengling rubbed his hands, "Ouch, Sister Zhen and Yi are carved out of a mold, it's just ...... This nose is not like. Well, the nose doesn't look like it! ”

Because the brothers and sisters of the Xue family were still a little short, the tall second master wanted to take a closer look at the two children, so he could only hunch over and take a closer look. "Yo, these eyes are the most similar, I remember that Sister Yi is a pair of round eyes. The lips are like, and the faces are like...... The two children also look alike. ”

Mingcan listened to the chatter of the second uncle quietly, and saw that he was appreciating antiques, so he just took a pair of Western glasses in his hand and enlarged his study. She had heard Lin Hongjin say that his father was obsessed with all kinds of antiques, but now she has seen it. This is to integrate antique appreciation into life.

"Second brother, I'm a little tired, go sit over there." Wu Qingbo felt that there was no need to be enthusiastic or disgusted with these two children, just ignore them, just like buying two useless vases to go home. He didn't even bother to do the false superficial work, dropped such a sentence, and went straight to the chair and sat down.

Lin Hongzhi was about to follow his father, but was stopped by Lin Hongjin.

"Second brother, Mingcan startled the horse just now in order to greet you, and she was almost thrown off, so you don't ask her." It's not so much that Lin Hong is dissatisfied with his second brother's attitude towards Mingcan, it's better to say that he doesn't like to see Mingcan's liking for Lin Hongcan for no reason.

This girl, what's so good about the second brother, so much love to stick to him, but don't forget, who kicked the door open in the Huixian Restaurant that day.

"She startled the horse, it was her own accident, what does it have to do with me?" Lin Hongyu seemed to hear a joke, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and said, "I think she is not good now, she was still eating just now, since she is fine, what is the use of me asking or not?" ”

Lin Hong was angry when he heard this. "Second brother, I think that in this world, only the Lingxian County Lord can make you spend your time coaxing and hurt! We, mortals, don't think of getting a little care from Uncle Wuqing! ”

"What are you talking about?" Lin Hongyu smiled even more, and felt that it was very cute for his cousin to start an idiot by accident. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of someone looking at him, and turned his head to look over, it turned out to be Xue Mingcan.

The two looked at each other, and Mingcan immediately smiled at him, really like a simple sunflower in Mingcan. Lin Hongyu was also surprised in her heart, this girl, she never even gave her a candy bar, let alone coaxed her to take care of her, she seemed to be born with a love for herself.

The face of his fiancée suddenly appeared in his mind, bright and graceful, as bright as a star, it was a prosperous peony held in the palm of his hand, which was very different from the small jasper, Mingcan, who was floating alone, but the two looked at him with a smile in their eyes, and they were really a little similar.

Lin Hongyu was tired of riding a horse and didn't want to look any more, so he retracted his gaze and sat down next to his father, and the father and son chatted about some innocuous digressions.

Lin Xian saw it in his eyes, because he was wooden in his heart, he didn't feel anything anymore, so he just turned to see Mingcan eating and told her not to choke.

The little girl's cheeks are bulging, and her round and smooth face floats up and down with chewing, which is very interesting.

The little girl with a thin and pointed chin when she first came, and her bones hurt in her arms, but now she has grown a lot of flesh under his care. His face gradually became rounded, and with some blood, Lin Xian's heart was filled with a sense of achievement, which was more heartwarming than the title of the gold list, riding a horse and parading the streets.

Another day, I will go to the Zhong's house in Zhenguogong, and let Uncle Cheng officially accept the two brothers and sisters as righteous sons and daughters. I wanted to mention it to my father, but now it doesn't seem necessary.

When she went back in the evening, Mingcan fell asleep in the carriage because she was too tired, so Lin Xian carried her back to the house, and asked Leng Hui to make a bucket of hot water for her to soak her feet.

When she woke up the next morning, she only felt a sore back, and her whole body fell apart, and she lay lazily on the bed, unwilling to go to the girls' school.

And Lin Xian actually agreed, and she embroidered her unfinished jewel Jasmine in the house.

It was not until the evening that she finished the last thread, and when she raised her head, she felt a stiff and sore neck, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the golden afterglow of the sunset outside the window was extremely hazy.

Yawned, the world was clear again, she didn't care about dinner, and pestered Leng Hui to make embroidered silk into sachets.

Lin Xian came to see her in the evening and mentioned that he had already chosen a date with Zhong Fu, and on the tenth day of the fourth month, on the birthday of their brother and sister, he asked the prince of Zhenguo to accept them as righteous sons and daughters.

Lin Xian didn't mention it, Xue Mingcan almost forgot about it, and even forgot that the tenth day of April was her and her brother's birthday.

In her memory, she never said that she had a birthday, every day in the Xue family, she had to work when she opened her eyes, and she couldn't finish the work, before the sun rose, after sunset, she thought that she would live like this forever.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xian came, he suddenly landed in the Xue Mansion like a god, and his stepmother, who had always commanded them, became respectful and flattering in front of him, and when she wanted to scold them, Lin Xian stood in front of them to protect him, and sharply questioned his stepmother, asking her to apologize to their brothers and sisters.

However, in retrospect, Mingcan's heart did not fluctuate much, as if this memory belonged to someone else, and it could not be engraved in her heart or engraved in her bones.

The pain only floated on the surface, like a dragonfly in the water, she didn't think about it anymore, and asked Lin Xian how she would live on his birthday.

"The Zhong Mansion will set up a few tables for banquets, only our Zhonglin family. But if you still want to be lively, I'll ask more people to celebrate you in the next post. Lin Xian said.

"No need." Those who don't care about them at all, why bother?

"Okay, I will ask Leng Hui and them to help you embroider a hat and a pair of shoes in the next few days, and I will give them to the prince and the wife of the prince of Zhenguo on the day of the salute."

Mingcan nodded, and began to look forward to it. She remembered that the Zhong family sister was gentle and amiable, and she was very friendly, presumably her father and mother were also reasonable, gentle and loving elders.

Even if Wu Qingbo didn't care about the matter of the Xue family's brothers and sisters, out of basic etiquette, Lin Xian still sent someone to call him. At that time, Lin Hengfeng was in the study and was shocked when he heard the news. I don't know whether to lament that the eldest son's means are extraordinary, or if the old man of Zhenguo is confused.

You must know that Zhenguo Gong is the founder of the country, and he has the merit of following the dragon, and now that the armor has passed, he is still regarded as a confidant minister by Emperor Jingren, and he is respected as a teacher, so it can be said that if he is willing to walk sideways on the main hall, no one dares to stop him, and he will not be blamed by the emperor.

He has always wanted to cling to the Zhong family, and he is even more diligent during the New Year's holidays, and comes to the door with generous gifts, but for some reason, Zhen Guogong has a general attitude towards him and does not want to have a deep friendship with him.

I don't know what kind of ability this eldest son has to rely on, he can surpass him and climb to the town of Guogong.

What's even more strange is that Zhen Guogong's family wants to accept the Xue family's brothers and sisters as their righteous sons, two insignificant children, what are the benefits?

I couldn't figure it out, but I couldn't pull my face to ask the eldest son. So on the 10th day of the fourth month, he decided to go and find out for himself.

Lin Tangxiao asked the maid five times after hearing about this, "Is it true?" The maid nodded again and again, and she asked the eldest sister again. Although Lin Tangmei was puzzled, he believed that this matter was not unwarranted. After confirming it again and again, Lin Tangxiao was jealous and angry.

"Why!"

In Yanjing City, which wealthy family doesn't want to get involved with the Zhenguo family, and which lady doesn't want to be close friends with Zhong Fu. What she Lin Tangxiao couldn't think of, Xue Mingcan didn't make much effort, so she took the lead and became Zhong Fu's sister-in-law!
