Mingcan really didn't have much impression of the richly dressed old lady in front of him, and ruthlessly followed Xue Mingyu and called "grandmother", and had nothing to say.

The old lady sat on the armchair, said "um" lightly twice as a response, looked at the two children coldly, and couldn't help admitting that the Xue family brothers and sisters were handsome and beautiful, and they were born eight or nine points similar.

Slowly rubbing an emerald ring on her fingers, she didn't talk to her two grandsons, turned to Lin Xian, and asked him, "Now you are taking care of these two children?" ”

Lin Xian nodded, "Cousin and cousin are worried about by grandchildren, and grandmother doesn't have to bother." ”

The old lady said "um" and said, "I know that you are a good boy, and I miss your aunt for taking care of you back then, but you are also not young, don't delay your own life for the sake of two children." ”

"No, grandmother, you don't have to worry." Lin Xian was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. You must know that his mother was originally in the main room, and the person who was invited to be the son of the world should have been him, but Wu Qingbo was unexpectedly entangled with a noble girl from the previous dynasty. In order to win over the capable ministers of the previous dynasty, the first emperor ordered Wu Qingbo to marry the noble girl as his wife, and changed the hereditary position of earl to hereditary replacement. Father Wu Qingbo ruthlessly demoted his mother's status to an aunt, and he was reduced from the eldest grandson to a concubine.

When that incident happened, except for my aunt, no one in the entire Lin Mansion was willing to speak for their mother and son. And the old lady, I'm afraid, is the one who approves of it the most.

He hasn't said a word of hush for more than ten years, and now that he has taken care of his life, Lin Xian can't help but gag.

"You two brothers and sisters, fortunately your cousin takes care of you, you should keep it in mind and don't cause trouble to him. You were originally from a humble background, it was the Lin family who fished you out of the quagmire, and now what you eat and wear is also allocated by the Lin family, so as an official in the future, you can't forget to maintain and repay the Lin family, no matter where you marry as a younger sister, you should also treat the Lin family as your mother's family. The old lady did not notice the resentment of the eldest grandson, and began to admonish the two grandsons with foreign surnames.

"Yes, grandmother." The brothers and sisters of the Xue family said in unison.

Although anyone would be uncomfortable when they heard this, it was precisely because of the obvious discomfort that Xue Mingcan understood that the old woman in front of him deliberately wanted to make them uncomfortable. If you talk back openly, it will end up even more uncomfortable. Sometimes not resisting does not mean weakness, if there is sludge in front of you, take a step back to avoid contamination, the sea and the sky.

It's just that Xue Mingcan thought that his grandmother would be indifferent to them, but he didn't expect it to be such a scathing old woman. No matter how luxurious the clothes are, they can't cover the sour rot in the mouth.

However, what she said is not unreasonable, if it weren't for Lin Xian, she and her brother wouldn't know which family they were sold to do drudgery now.

Because of the gratitude to Lin Xian in his heart, when Lin Xian carried her on the horse, Mingcan did not resist or quarrel, and sat obediently on the saddle.

She rode a silver-gray pony, and Lin Xian personally helped her pull the reins and taught her the keys to riding a horse word by word.

Xue Mingyu was entrusted by Lin Xian to Lin Hong.

"Big brother, you can teach me too." Lin Tangxiao had ridden a few times before, but the people and horses were not in harmony, and the horses were always not to her liking, and they couldn't run smoothly.

Looking at Xue Mingcan, who had just sat down on the gray horse, Lin Xianda was not at ease. Don't look at this little girl's unforgiving mouth on weekdays, but in fact, she is not fat. Otherwise, one hand is still tugging at his sleeve tightly. The two moth eyebrows frowned slightly, and even a pair of bright eyes lost a lot of brilliance, full of nervousness and anxiety.

It's not easy to coax just now, so she obediently got on the horse, and if she walked away at this time, she would definitely be making a fuss about coming down.

"Fourth sister, go and learn from your father." Lin Xian had no choice but to say to Lin Tangxiao.

Lin Tangxiao glanced at Wu Qingbo not far away, he was riding on a brown horse, frowning, not knowing what he was talking to the people on the side.

"No, Daddy is fierce." Lin Tangxiao shook her head twice, the first time she rode a horse was taught by her father, and the horse didn't scare her that day, but was softened by her father's roar.

Lin Xian smiled awkwardly, there was nothing he could do, but fortunately he saw Lin Hongzhi passing by, so he grabbed him and said, "Second brother, teach the fourth sister." ”

Lin Hongyu glanced at it indifferently, and his thin lips lightly spit out two words: "I'm not free." ”

Lin Tangxiao was about to cry. It's okay for the two brothers to reject her, and they still reject her in front of Xue Mingcan! It's shameless.

"Second brother, how can you be like this, I'm your sister." Lin Tangxiao cried with a sad face, and was very unwilling in her heart.

"So what?" didn't expect Lin Hongyu to say such a sentence, Lin Tang was so angry that he stomped his feet, and a butterfly flower hanging tassel silver hairpin on the flying bun swayed left and right, and the silver tassel was entangled.

Lin Xian didn't know what to say, so he turned around and carefully guided Xue Mingcan, and Lin Hongyu clamped the horse's belly, and walked away, leaving Lin Tangxiao in place, not leaving, not leaving.

"Cancan, be attentive!" Lin Xian saw Xue Mingcan looking in other directions, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off, and he didn't seem to be listening to what he said.

"Brother Xian, look at how well Brother Hong rides." Xue Mingcan looked directly at Lin Hongyu's galloping figure, with a tall and straight back, two legs that didn't look like words on both sides of the saddle, running with flying hair, and the fairy wind bones were as clean and vulgar.

How can there be such a good man as Brother Hong in the world?

"Cancan!" Lin Xian finally got a little angry, and called Xue Mingcan's attention back, he pulled his face and said, "If you also want to be like Hong Xu, listen to me now, you can't be too ambitious." ”

"What is good ambition?"

Lin Xian: "You just can't look at the master and be low." ”

"What is a high hand with a low eye?"

Here, Lin Xian took the trouble to explain to Mingcan that "the eyes are high and the hands are low", and over there, Lin Tangxiao finally returned to the pergola where the female dependents were resting.

The old lady watched her son and grandson busy in the pasture, while talking to her eldest granddaughter Lin Tangmei, and when she saw Lin Tangxiao holding a horsewhip in her hand, she ran back with a look of chagrin, sat on the side and poured tea angrily, so she asked her what was going on.

"Grandmother, look at it, the eldest brother only knows how to teach the girl of the Xue family, I went to ask him to teach me, but he didn't care about me!" Lin Tangxiao didn't mention her second brother Lin Hongxue, because she knew that he was her grandmother's most important and beloved eldest grandson, even if she complained, her grandmother wouldn't say anything.

But Lin Xian is different. Grandmother never favored him, she was sure that in her grandmother's heart, her granddaughter had a higher status than her granddaughter. What's more, saying this can also pull Xue Mingcan down.

Sure enough, Lin Tangxiao said this aggrievedly, and the old lady's two thin long eyebrows wrinkled.

She directly asked the maid to call Lin Xian back.

Lin Xian didn't know why, so he was called by his grandmother and reprimanded him with a face. In fact, since he was a child, he was not favored by his grandmother, "stubborn", "stupid", "stupid", "stupid", all of which were labeled by his grandmother.

However, since he took the test and ordered Hanlin, he had not heard these words again, and his grandmother's attitude was obviously much more polite. So when he heard these rebukes at first glance, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

If he's not used to it, he's endured it like this. While listening to his grandmother's chatter, he was worried about Xue Mingcan.

The girl was left there by him, leaving only a groom to watch over it, and I wondered if anything would happen.

couldn't help but glance in the direction of Mingcan, the old lady's eyes were sharp, and no one was allowed to be distracted while she spoke, and reprimanded: "Lin Sibin! ”

Sibin is his character, and he calls each other among his classmates to show the respect of the reader, but he didn't expect to be used by his grandmother to scold him.

"I'm talking to you!"

"Yes, grandmother."

The old lady saw that his attitude was still respectful, and she said more than half of it angrily, and finally only instructed: "Not only in the officialdom, but also when you return home, you must always understand the stakes, distinguish who is close and who is sparse, and don't spend your heart on unworthy people for no reason, but cool the hearts of those who should be close." ”

Lin Xian was numb when he heard it, and the old lady didn't wait for him to respond after speaking, she raised her voice and asked, "Do you remember what I said?" ”

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Lin Xian nodded heavily and said, "My grandson has all been remembered." ”

"Hmm." The old lady was satisfied, and was about to release her, and before leaving, she ordered, "Take your fourth sister this time and teach her well." You know, some military families also attach great importance to women's mounted archery. ”

The implication is to remind Lin Xian that riding and shooting is very important to Lin Tangxiao.

"Yes."

Thinking that the old lady was finished, he raised his foot and was about to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect the conversation to turn to Mingcan again: "Don't let her wear this riding costume, how can the little girl wear such a flamboyant red!" ”

"Yes."

Lin Xian walked out of the pergola, the warm sun was shining on his body, and he suddenly felt extremely comfortable. However, Lin Tangxiao saw that his face had always been detached and cold, and he had not changed anything. Walking cautiously to his side, she tentatively said, "Big brother, I didn't sue you, but my grandmother saw me go back and asked me why I didn't ride a horse, and I didn't dare to lie in front of my grandmother." ”

Lin Xian said lightly: "It's okay." It doesn't hurt that I'll teach you first. Go and bring your horse. ”

While Lin Tangxiao went to lead the horse, Lin Xian quickly glanced at Xue Mingcan's direction. Fortunately, after he walked away, Xue Mingyu and Lin Hongjin both passed. Lin Hong was talking to Mingcan about this, and used his body to demonstrate how to clamp the horse's belly and how to pass the order to the horse.

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and patiently taught Lin Tangxiao. She used to learn equestrian with her father, her father had little patience and taught too concisely, Lin Tangxiao drew a gourd in the same way, but she painted a tiger and could not become an anti-dog, many movements were incorrect, and she barely ran for a while, but it was more dangerous.

The father never seemed to have a very loving child.

In this way, several siblings are the same. In the rich and splendid pile of Wuqing Bo's Mansion, he grew up by himself.

Lin Xian smiled self-deprecatingly, but the laugh was fleeting, because he heard an exclamation.
