Chapter 12
Thinking is the most troublesome thing, and besides, this kind of thinking can't lead to anything, so Xue Mingcan simply didn't think about it, just as Lin Xian came in and interrupted the two.
"Second brother. I've worked hard for you today, so go back and rest. Lin Xian said to Lin Hongyu, with a little apology.
Lin Hongyu said: "Big brother," he wanted to say that it was nothing, and he also wanted to tell Lin Xian not to see him like this, they were brothers.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again. It's true, I can't say it, and my eldest brother can't necessarily hear it.
The two brothers, half-brothers, once they have a blood relationship, they can't break it, not to mention that he and Lin Xian are both people who have something to say in their stomachs, and no one will force them to spit out. So over the years, his relationship with his eldest brother is not as good as that of a few friends with Zhong Qisheng.
Lin Hongyu nodded lightly, and was about to leave, walked to the door, and remembered that Xue Mingcan had not asked clearly. But in the end, the eldest brother is here, and he takes out an aggressive interrogation posture in front of him, I'm afraid it will dislike him.
I'll ask again next time.
stepped out of the door with one foot, but he didn't expect Lin Xian behind him to stop him again. "Second brother, I heard that the county lord vomited blood today, you should go and take a look."
"The county lord vomits blood?" Lin Hong guarded Xue Mingcan's two siblings for a day, but he never heard anyone mention it, but how did the eldest brother know?
Lin Xian also seems to be aware of this, he is a civil official, even if the Lingxian County Lord will become his younger brother and sister in the future, but he cares too much about the harem ladies, if someone maliciously attacks him, maybe they will use this as a gimmick and impeach him for malicious intentions.
But he couldn't help but inquire about Pu Yue's news, especially after she fell seriously ill.
Lin Xian tried his best to gather his mind and said: "I also heard from the eldest sister, she saw someone from the palace today and asked the county lord of Qingwan to return to the palace." ”
Lin Hongzhi said "En", he couldn't hear too much emotion, and only said that he would enter the palace early tomorrow morning. glanced at Xue Mingcan, who was looking at him on the bed again, didn't say anything more, and left with his feet up.
Xue Mingcan wrapped the apricot-yellow quilt around his body and sat cross-legged on the bed, like an apricot, but an apricot that could be eaten and drunk. After Leng Hui came back with a food box carved from red wood, she was busy eating and drinking, and she didn't care much about Lin Xian.
Lin Xian also sat on the edge of the bed and watched her eat. A jade bean cake was easily stuffed into her mouth with chopsticks, and the cheeks on one side were swollen round, like a squirrel, and he suddenly had an impulse, and wanted to poke it with a finger, thinking that it must be soft and tender.
But the thought flashed through me. Lin Xian, who was twenty-five, felt that if he was fifteen years old, he would definitely do it. Like the ribbon that was naughty back then, she went to Lapu Yue to tie her hair, a begonia red silk ribbon was smooth and cold, and it slipped into his hand with a light pull, and then her black and shiny black hair was scattered.
Pu Yue was only seven or eight years old at the time, and he was teased so much that he cried, shouting, "Brother Lin Xian is bad!" "Crying to find Lin Hongxue.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hongyu not only did not comfort her, but followed the eldest brother to learn, and pulled down the ribbon of the flower bud on the other side, Pu Yue was so angry that she cried and summoned the queen mother.
At that time, his mother had not yet died, and he was a carefree teenager, waiting for his father to ask for a son for him one day.
I didn't expect it to be ten years later.
Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried. None of the boys' wishes seem to have been fulfilled, and people are always powerless in the face of the years.
Mingcan was eating, and when he saw him, he suddenly smiled softly, his expression was gentle like water, and then he was sad for a while, and he was indescribably lonely and melancholy. Then he touched his elbow and asked him, "Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Xian turned around suddenly, and suddenly met her clear and moist eyes, and was in a trance for a moment before he came to his senses.
Mingcan ate sweetly, her ruddy lips were watery, because she ate the jam gold cake, the corners of her mouth were stained with a lot of jam, like a little cat, Lin Xian reached out to wipe it off for her.
She licked the corners of her mouth, and it was really sweet. She smiled at him stupidly.
"Although I didn't eat dinner, I still don't need to eat too much before I go to bed, so be careful of accumulating food."
Mingcan nodded while continuing to eat the soft and fragrant pastries. Watching people eat, especially watching such a cute apricot yellow dumpling eat, is a healing thing, and the sorrow in Lin Xian's heart has dissipated a lot.
Although he lost his mother, lost his position as the son, and even watched Pu Yue marry his younger brother in the future, but, at least, he has been fighting for a future for himself for ten years, and he has the ability to protect the little group in front of him.
"Brother Xian, what are you thinking? It seems to be happy again. Mingcan tilted his head and said as he bit his chopsticks.
"Really? You mean, I wasn't happy just now? Seeing that a strand of hair was attached to the corner of her mouth, he reached out again to help her brush it.
"yes." Although Mingcan saw it, she didn't think about why Lin Xian was unhappy. Thinking is always a matter of mind.
"I'm not happy because I heard your brother say that you went to shoot hooves today, and you must apologize to your brother for Miss Gu!" Lin Xian saw that she was eating about the same, and he was about to get down to business.
Mingcan heard that his tone had changed, and it had become her most annoying admonition tone on weekdays, and she was also irritable in her heart, put down her chopsticks, and pouted: "I didn't act recklessly, and besides, that Miss Gu family bullied her brother between words, I must ask her to apologize!" ”
Lin Xian was stunned when he heard this, although he and Xue Mingcan hadn't been together for a long time, he still understood what kind of weak and deceitful character she was.
Why did you suddenly switch sexually now? Able to say such righteous words.
Mingcan saw that there was no approval in his expression, and said, "I really didn't have to be strong!" I shot the red heart at the hoof, and then I shot the silk again. Miss Gu also apologized to her brother. ”
Lin Xian didn't want to believe it when he heard this, although he heard Xue Mingyu say it just now, he still didn't believe it. Xue Mingcan's big characters are already unsightly, and the cultivation in martial arts is a thousand feet worse than poetry and books, and before she fell ill, it took him half a year to teach her how to bend the bow.
Not to mention being able to shoot arrows.
He had to see it with his own eyes to believe it.
Mingcan saw that he still refused to believe it, so he was about to lift the quilt and jump out of bed, and now he will to him. Lin Xian couldn't cry or laugh, hurriedly held her down, and said, "If you want to see it, it's not in a hurry at this time, it's too late, try again tomorrow." ”
"Don't mention it if you shoot or not, just say that you forced people to apologize to Mingyu - you did a good job!"
Mingcan originally thought that he was going to reprimand himself, so don't turn his face and ignore him, but he didn't expect him to say that this matter was done well.
His eyes widened in surprise and he looked back at him. "People don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me......" Lin Xian smiled very happily, "Cancan, just like you did today." ”
Mingcan blinked and smiled, "Really, Brother Xian?" Lin Xian always wanted her to be a boudoir lady, and thought that he would not approve of her actions today. In public, she bit Miss Gu Jia, although she also felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.
Is it bullying? Today is just a glance and a word, and tomorrow you may have to play with your net worth and life.
Lin Xian nodded. He was angry about his sister Lin Tangxiao's bullying of Mingcan, and it happened right under his nose, but he couldn't do anything with Lin Tangxiao. If he had to pursue it, I am afraid that no one from his grandmother to his father would speak for him. The elder brother of the concubine is not as good as the younger sister of the concubine, he understood this truth as early as ten years ago.
Cancan and Mingyu will always have to face things by themselves one day, not to mention, they won't just keep sending people under the fence. Thousands of schemes surged silently in the bottom of his heart, and Lin Xian's eyes sharpened.
was caught off guard by the sound of the little girl drinking soup on the side.
"Cancan, I said, don't make a sound when you drink soup."
Lin Xian glanced at the small plates on the table again, which were already empty, and told Yahuan again: "Don't bring any more food for the girl!" ”
Leng Hui Miaohui responded one by one, and he told Xue Mingcan to go to bed early, and then left her house.
Mingchan stuck out his tongue at his back behind his back, and drank the bowl of almond syrup in his hand with a loud noise. Leng Hui hurriedly said: "Girl, be quiet, be careful that the uncle hears it, and turns around and scolds you." ”
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of him."
Leng Hui couldn't help but feel funny. The girl always said in front of them that she was not afraid of the uncle, and when she talked about the uncle reprimanding her, she had long teeth and claws like a kitten who only grabbed people. But once she got to the uncle, she was coquettish and stupid, docile and well-behaved, which made the uncle reluctant to talk about her.
Leng Hui is the son of a family, so I have heard people say that the uncle used to be a laughing and noisy teenager, and when his aunt died, he read books behind closed doors, ignoring no one, and not smiling all day long. She had seen the uncle a few times in the house before, wearing a dark shirt and never smiling. Unexpectedly, after Miss Xue came, it was rare to see the uncle laugh a few times.
Miss Xue is cute, no wonder the uncle loves her. However, the other people in the house are not the same, especially the old lady, who has never shown a little affection for her grandfather and grandson, as if Miss Xue does not exist at all, and she has never sent anyone to ask a word, only cherishing the granddaughters surnamed Lin.
"Leng Hui, Leng Hui, what are you doing in a daze?" Mingcan called a few times before calling Leng Hui over.
"Does the girl want to sleep?" Leng Hui answered.
"No, I've been sleeping for a long time, and I'm not sleepy at all. Come, tell me about Brother Hong. ”
Mingcan has always asked her to say something about Lin Hongzhi, big and small, as long as she has anything to do with him, she likes to listen to it. Fortunately, Leng Hui was better with a second-class maid who served Lin Hongxue, and she could often inquire about it, which made the maid think that she had a crush on the second master and wanted to enter the second master's yard, so she was secretly angry.
God knows where Miss Xue's enigmatic fascination with the second master came from after she recovered from her illness.
Some things were repeated several times, and she listened to them with relish.
Xue Mingcan listened to the story in the middle of the night and slept contentedly until dawn. This time the dream was strange again, and it had been filled with a faint sweet smell, which seemed to be stuck in her own throat.
