Lin Shisheng and Lin Zhizhi's uncle and nephew were going to the Luming banquet, so naturally the whole family got up early in the morning to see them off.

Lin Jiaruo would not have fallen, and Xu Yaoning also appeared unexpectedly, not to mention two sons and a daughter who were almost one year old, and even Bai Shuang and Su Rou were also brought along.

Lin Shisheng was surprised and relieved when he saw it, took two steps forward, held Xu Yaoning's hand, and said eagerly and gently: "Ning Niang, you are here!" ”

Xu Yaoning quietly withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "I was not in good health before, and I couldn't send my husband to the examination institute, but now that I am better, I naturally want to send my husband to the banquet!" ”

He turned his head and glanced in the direction of Bai Shuang and Su Rou: "If I don't come, won't I let them have another fight in vain?" ”

Lin Shisheng looked at the two concubines with a smile, compared to Xu Jiaoning, the joy on the faces of the other two women was richer and more affectionate, and the white frost was like water, and she wanted to complain.

Lin Shisheng looked at it, and also lost his anger a few days ago, smiled at her gently and comfortingly, and turned his head to Xu Jiaoning and said a few words, when he wanted to find Lin Jiaruo, he saw that she had already rushed to Lin Zhizhi's side.

Going to the Luming Banquet, most of the new imperial examinees are crossing the horse and parade the street, although it is not as good as the scenery of the new science and technology Jinshi Royal Horse Parade Street, but few people will hide in the carriage.

Lin Jiaruo looked at the horse next to Lin Zhizhi almost above his shoulders, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "This horse is so high, can the big brother ride it?" ”

The crowd next to him couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Zhizhi smiled and pinched her face: "You underestimate me too much, we are not just reading in the academy, we have to learn to ride and shoot etiquette!" ”

When Lin Jiaruo heard this, his eyes showed adoration: "When will the eldest brother teach me?" ”

Lin Zhizhi thought about it seriously: "Riding is still early for you, but archery can be learned, I'll find you a smaller bow when you go back, you can practice and play first!" ”

Lin Jialan glared at him: "What kind of family are we, how can my brother teach Ah Ruo these rude things!" ”

Lin Zhizhi smiled, touched Lin Jiaruo's head, and said, "What's this?" Isn't Ah Ruo still practicing his fists and feet? The third uncle and three aunts all agreed. ”

Lin Jialan shut her mouth stupidly, she couldn't figure it out, why were the third uncle and third aunt willing to let Ah Ruo practice this? What should I do if I have a good lady, but I have practiced a tiger's back? But her parents agreed, and she couldn't say anything.

"My mother is going to take me to Yunlin Temple to pray for blessings today, and I will help everyone ask for a peace charm, do you want the eldest brother too?" Lin Jiaruo asked with a smile.

Thinking of the last time he prayed for blessings, Lin Zhizhi couldn't help but smile: "Of course, praying for blessings is the heart, and the blessing of the Bodhisattva is not uncommon, but Ah Ruo's heart still needs it!" ”

Lin Jiaruo smiled and bent his eyes: "We may have to come back late, and we may not be able to welcome the eldest brother and father home in time, and we will give you the peace charm when we get to the dinner!" ”

Lin Zhizhi responded with a smile.

As he was talking, Lin Shisheng also came over, and it was almost time to leave.

The uncle and nephew turned over and got on the horse together, one was as elegant as a cloud, the other was as chic as the wind, and immediately looked back, with a romantic attitude, envious of the neighbors.

Lin Jiaruo was almost stupid.

"Alright, stop looking!" Xu Jiaoning's slightly cold voice suddenly came, and Lin Jiaruo's heart was excited.

I don't know when, Xu Yaoning had already walked to her side, took her hand indifferently, turned to Gan's, and smiled slightly: "I'm tired of sister-in-law, Ah Ruo and I should set off, so let's go early and return early." ”

Gan nodded, and while ordering someone to pull the carriage to the side door, he said goodbye to Mrs. Lin and accompanied Xu Yaoning's mother and daughter to the side door.

Xu Yaoning pulled Lin Jiaruo, followed by the nurse who was holding Lin Yuanzhi, but Lin Jiawei was hugged back by her nurse.

Gan asked casually, "Isn't Ah Wei going?" ”

"The fifth girl is weak, and the wind is strong on the mountain, if she suffers from the cold, the Bai family will have to make trouble again." Xu Haoning said lightly.

She didn't plan to bring Lin Jiawei with her from the beginning, and even the excuses were ready-made.

Gan Shi frowned when he heard this: "The third brother is not such an unreasonable person, what if you take care of her?" ”

Xu Jiaoning smiled: "I was angry with her once, and my body has not been very good, and now I don't bother to care about her, take care of myself first." ”

Gan shook his head and said no more.

Xu Yaoning glanced at Gan's family, and there was a trace of unbearability in her lowered eyes.

A year later, Lin Jingsheng died in the military rations case, and Lin Jialan's husband died in Gengyin's book.

Later, all kinds of things had nothing to do with the big house, and the big house was for the three of them, mother and son, who were innocent and unkind.

But now, she can't care so much, if she says that she is afraid of hurting the jade bottle by beating mice, the big house is not a jade bottle for her.

Xu Jiaoning's gaze gradually darkened, then closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was indifferent.

Gan's arranged two carriages, Xu Yaoning's mother and son, together with the subordinates who served him closely, and other maids who accompanied him sat in one, and two mothers-in-law followed the carriage.

Lin Jiaruo looked left and right and muttered, "Why are so many people ......?"

In the past, when she went out, she was followed by magpies and finches, Xiaoman stayed to watch the things in the house, and so did her mother, and the big girl who was in charge of the house always kept half and half left, in case the master from elsewhere came to pass the word, there was a person in charge in the house.

But today, the magpies, Xiaoman, and finches in her house followed, leaving only one warbler at home.

As for the three big girls around my mother, they all followed, and I have to say that this battle is quite big, and it is a little strange.

Xu Yaoning heard it, but ignored it.

The body shook slightly, and began to move forward.

Xu Yaoning lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked at the gate of the Lin family, his eyes were obscure, and he was silent for a long time.

There are not many people in Yunlin Temple today, and early in the morning, everyone went to watch the new imperial examination.

The Lin family is the most dazzling on the list of today's laurels, that is, the monk of Yunlin Temple also heard about it, and the governor monk who came out to greet him also smiled and congratulated twice, but Xu Yaoning smiled and was silent, and the governor monk could only change the topic.

Lin Jiaruo followed Xu Jiaoning and knelt down in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

At first, she knelt seriously and prayed sincerely for the blessings of her family, but she even greeted the mother-in-law who kept vigil at the second gate, and she didn't see her mother have the intention of getting up.

Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but turn her head to look at her mother.

Fold, bow your head, close your eyes.

His expression was calm, but he seemed to be unfathomable.

"Mother?" Lin Jiaruo called her softly.

It's not that she has to interrupt her mother's devotion to the Buddha, but according to the past practice, there are still several halls to worship behind, if it is at this speed, when she gets home, it will be dark, and she will not be able to start the banquet!
