When Thrush entered the house, the mother and daughter were angry and suspicious, and she hesitated for a moment, quietly walked around, and wanted to put the object in her hand on the bed.

"What is this?" Xu Yaoning saw that the thrush was holding something covered in cotton cloth in his hand.

Lin Jiaruo hugged the thing in his arms, and said with a smile: "This is the big brother who sent me!" ”

"Show me!" Xu Yaoning felt that her smile was inexplicably unsightly.

Lin Jiaruo took out the wooden pillow and gave it to Xu Jiaoning as if offering a treasure, and said happily: "Big brother heard that after I lost the original wooden pillow, I have been sleeping unsteadily, and said that I was probably used to smelling the smell of boxwood to sleep, so I found a boxwood pillow again......

Xu Yaoning stared at the wooden pillow for a while, and her heart suddenly brightened.

The relationship between Ah Ruo and Xu Mingzhu has always been very good, in her previous life, Ah Ruo had a cowardly temperament, and only Xu Mingzhu has always maintained her.

So when Xu Mingzhu was fifteen years old and was frightened by the fact that the Xu family had entered the snitch, and he couldn't sleep at night, Ah Ruo couldn't bear to cut his love and gave his beloved wooden pillow to Xu Mingzhu.

Half a month later, the Wu family came to the door to withdraw from their relatives.

Half a month later, the Wu family settled on Xu Mingzhu.

"Mother?" Lin Jiaruo saw her stunned and shouted, "What do you want?" ”

Xu Haoning stuffed the wooden pillow into Lin Jiaruo's arms and said, "It's nothing, you can sleep well!" After saying that, he got up and walked away in a hurry.

If Lin Jiaruo went to Beijing to pay tribute and got a bunch of rewards back, the Lin family naturally wanted to celebrate.

After a day of rest, on the third day of their return, the Lin family began to feast guests.

Lin Jiaruo is a well-deserved protagonist, and all the guests present have gifts for her.

Xu Mingzhu sent two pieces, one of which was a pair of jade lion paperweights.

Lin Jiaruo was taken aback: "Isn't this the enlightenment gift given to you by your little uncle?" ”

Lin Jiaruo's uncle Xu Dan is also Xu Mingzhu's uncle.

When Xu Mingzhu went to school at the age of seven, Xu Dan didn't know where to get this pair of lions, with round heads and round brains, very cute.

"You're willing to give it to me?" Lin Jiaruo couldn't believe it.

Xu Mingzhu glanced at the lion reluctantly, immediately retracted his gaze, and said to Lin Jiaruo sincerely and guiltily: "I asked for your wooden pillow before, I was joking with you, but I didn't expect you to really send it, I just want you to return it to you in a hurry——"

"A lot of things happened later, I forgot about this for a while, this time you came back from the capital, I thought I would return you when I saw you, but ......" Xu Mingzhu lowered his head in frustration and whispered, "I lost your wooden sleeper......"

"Lost?" Lin Jiaruo was very surprised, the wooden sleeper is not a small thing, and the maids in Xu Mingzhu's room are not less than her, how could they lose it?

Xu Mingzhu nodded vigorously and said, "I've searched everywhere in my room, under the bed, but I can't find it anywhere!" My mother also said that she didn't see it-" The little mouth was deflated, pitiful, "Ah Ruo, I really didn't mean to, is this good for the lion to compensate you?" ”

Although Lin Jiaruo also felt a little pity, he didn't take it too seriously, and comforted Xu Mingzhu in turn: "It's okay, my eldest brother has already found me a new wooden pillow, which is better than the previous one!" ”

Easily diverting Xu Mingzhu's attention, she said enviously: "Your eldest brother is so good to you, like a real brother-no!" It's better than my own brother! My brother hasn't been so nice to me! ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded proudly, seeing that Xu Mingzhu was still peeking at the jade lion one after another, and funnily closed the box and pushed it back to her: "You don't have to pay for it!" ”

Xu Mingzhu hesitated: "Although you have a new one, I always lose your things, and I still have to pay for it......"

Lin Jiaruo wanted to say that I didn't have to pay for what I lost to you, but seeing Xu Mingzhu's insistence, he thought about it and said, "Then give me the flower bag of Jin Leisi!" ”

The flower sac is also Xu Mingzhu's favorite thing, but it is easier to give up than the jade lion, Xu Mingzhu gritted his teeth and happily agreed.

After the matter of apology was settled, the two sisters held hands and happily walked around the garden while talking about what happened after the farewell.

As he spoke, he talked about Xu Mingzhu's family affairs.

"I don't know what kind of soup my aunt poured into my mother, you must give me to Wu Yuelou!" As soon as this family matter was mentioned, Xu Mingzhu's face was full of indignation, and he was very reluctant, he used to always call Yuelou's cousin, but now he called his name.

"I don't want to marry a coward like Wu Yuelou, you didn't shoot him last time, and you were scared like that!" Xu Mingzhu said indignantly.

Lin Jiaruo nodded sympathetically.

"If I want to marry, I will marry a hero with strong martial arts, the kind who can fly on the wall!" Probably still young, Xu Mingzhu is not as shy and timid as the big girls when she talks about these, and her round and bright eyes are full of longing.

Lin Jiaruo was a little moved by her, and remembered the problem of marriage for the first time.

If it's her, what kind of person do you want to marry......

As soon as the thought came to mind, I heard a "poof" laugh behind me, sullen, as if I was deliberately hiding an accident.

"Who?" The swallow shouted alertly, and at the same time blocked the two little girls behind her.

Lin Jiaruo poked her head out from behind her and looked around, listening to the voice, it turned out to be a man!

Behind the bushes, a man dressed in the costume of a servant of the Lin family walked out, bent over, his head down, his eyes rolled wildly, sneaky, and covered his mouth firmly.

Without waiting for Lin Jiaruo to shout, the man took the initiative to let go and whispered, "Don't scream!" Don't scream! It's me! It's me! ”

Lin Jiaruo was taken aback: "Old ginger! ”

Old Jiang Tou smiled awkwardly.

"Why are you here?" After Lin Jiaruo asked, he felt that something was wrong, and his eyes were sharp, "How did you get in?" ”

Isn't the mother-in-law who guards the door known as iron-faced and selfless, and even she refuses to let her go? The male guests and maids are all in the front yard, how can they be mixed in with a foreign man!

The old ginger smiled "hehe" and whispered, "I have something important to ask you!" ”

Lin Jiaruo still looked at him vigilantly, disapproving: "What can't you ask my father, do you have to ask me?" ”

The old ginger smiled: "You don't understand, adults don't have a few words of truth in their mouths, I want to hear the truth, so I can only come to ask you." ”

Lin Jiaruo agrees with this.

"What do you want to ask?" Lin Jiaruo asked in a softened tone.

Old Jiang Tou hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sun Juan...... Where are you now? ”

Lin Jiaruo was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask about Sun Juan.

She ...... She was left in the palace by the emperor......" Lin Jiaruo said, a little gloomy, "Master Wuchen wants to keep her as a Taoist ......"

Old Jiang Tou's face did not change, his eyes changed, as if he was shocked, as if he was emotional, and he seemed to feel a little guilty.

She ...... ...... really," he muttered.
