Chapter 3: Anger pits oneself
Ye Lin did not rush back to the room after saying goodbye to her parents, but wandered around the mansion to get acquainted with the environment here, after all, she didn't inherit any memories from here, but she didn't think that a six-year-old girl could have many useful memories.
The first thing you need to do is to understand the world, and the rest will be talked about later. After all, I came to this strange place inexplicably, and I didn't know what I wanted to do or what I should do, so I could only take one step at a time.
What else can I pursue now? After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Lin lazily collapsed on the stone next to the rockery, squinting her eyes, lazily basking in the sun, hey...... Lost.
"Yes...... Cousin Yelene? ”
There was a slight uncertainty in his voice.
Ye Lin raised her head slightly, opened her eyes, and a beautiful figure stood in front of her, eight or nine years old, with red lips and white teeth, a smile, and her crescent-like eyes flashed with surprise.
Little beauty? Ye Lin cheered up a little, stood up, and returned the smile.
"It's me, may I ask who this sister is?"
The child's smile immediately froze on his face, and then he smiled bitterly.
"It's normal for Cousin Ye Lin not to recognize me, you were only three years old when we last met, my name is Meng Xi, but your cousin"
I added an accent to the word cousin. Oh, it turned out to be a boy. Ye Lin immediately lost interest when she heard that it was a man, and lay back on the stone face, squinting her eyes and asking.
"Okay cousin, do you have something to do with me?"
Seeing Ye Lin's movements, Meng Xi was stunned for a moment, and his good self-cultivation made him not pay too much attention to these, but only regarded Ye Lin's personality and smiled.
"I came here with my father to visit Aunt Meng Xin, and I heard that Cousin Ye Lin was unwell a few days ago, so I came here to visit."
"Oh, I'm fine, thank you cousin for caring"
Ye Lin said nonchalantly.
"That's great"
The young man exhaled, a little apprehension on his face.
"That, Cousin Ye Lin, my brother is new to the house and is not very familiar with Ye Mansion, can I ask Cousin Ye Lin to show me the way for my brother?"
It turned out that I was lost, and what a coincidence, I was also lost. Ye Lin couldn't help him if she wanted to help him, so she could only refuse.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the way, you better find someone else"
“……”
The straightforward refusal caught Meng Xi a little off guard, only to see him stay in the garden with an embarrassed face, neither to go, nor to stay, he was indeed lost, although the Ye Mansion was quite big, but there were not many people who could get lost here, but he was one of them, and Ye Lin was also one.
He thought that Ye Lin said this because he didn't want him to lead the way because he was too troublesome, after all, she was only a six-year-old girl, and she didn't know him very well. But he still had to rush to his father's side on time, there was no one else in the garden at this time, Meng Xi seemed a little anxious, and could only regard Ye Lin as the only life-saving straw, however, he didn't know that Ye Lin was also lost, how could there be a reason to get lost in his own home. It's just that Ye Lin doesn't care about this, she thinks that there are a lot of people in the house, how can you say that there are always people passing by in this garden, no, a stupid boy who got lost came after a while, it was really bad luck.
Calculating the time, his father's side should be waiting for him, Meng Xi had to whisper to Ye Lin with a bitter face.
"Cousin, don't tease me, I still have important things to do for my brother, I hope my cousin will work hard, help my brother this time."
Hey, children just can't hold their breath. Ye Lin opened her eyes slightly, and she expected that Meng Xi would not believe what she said, and she didn't believe it either, but she really didn't know her, what could I do, I was also desperate. Seeing that Meng Xi's expression did not seem to be fake, it seemed that this kid was really in a hurry, Ye Lin sighed, just come here to do good deeds.
Ye Lin got up and swept the dust on her body, then came down and reached out and patted Meng Xi's shoulder, in order to stabilize the baby's mentality, Meng Xi's body trembled violently, but Ye Lin didn't pay attention.
"Okay, you wait a minute"
Hearing the other party's agreement, Meng Xi came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"Thank you......"
Before this thank you could be said, Ye Lin stood up and looked around, and then raised his head to the sky and shouted.
"Come on, help!"
Ye Lin couldn't say such a humiliating thing when she got lost at home, so she simply asked for help, anyway, shouting like this will come quickly, and you can solve this kid's urgent matter faster. After Ye Lin finished shouting, she let go of her heart when she heard footsteps starting to approach all around, turned around and gave Meng Xi a bright smile with a thumbs up, but saw Meng Xi's figure shrink into the corner, her little face was pale, and she looked at herself with a frightened expression......
"Lin'er, you tell your mother what happened in the garden, and you will uphold justice for your mother, if that kid really did something to you......"
Meng Xin looked at Ye Lin gently, and her charming eyes became darker and darker at this moment.
Ye Lin looked embarrassed, and glanced at her cousin who was kneeling on the ground on the left with a blue nose and swollen face, and her two lips trembled uncontrollably, as if she wanted to say something. Uncle Meng Ran, who was full of anger, sat next to Meng Xi and slashed at Meng Xi viciously, looking at him with a little guilt in his eyes. Turning his head, he saw that his father was sitting on the main seat with a big slash, his hair was angry, his eyes were as sharp as knives, his beard moved with the wind, and his momentum was surging, as if Guan Erye was alive, and his father at this time could not see the elegant appearance of the scholar before.
Seeing her family like this, Ye Lin's heart warmed first, has this kind of care been felt for a long time, has it been a long time or has it always been? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Then Ye Lin felt a chill in her heart again, she seemed to be in trouble this time, seeing Meng Xi being beaten so badly, if they found out that it was her fault, it would not be over? However, the manly husband does things by himself, and he can't let the children help him take the pot, although he has already done it......
Thinking of this, Ye Lin closed her eyes and took a deep breath, walked over and gently helped Meng Xi up, and secretly said sorry in her heart, she didn't expect her shout to be so powerful, her cousin's urgent matter was solved, but by the way, even people were almost solved. Then Yelene replied to her parents.
"Daddy, mother, that's the case, today my cousin and I are lost in the garden, and I don't see anyone else there, seeing my cousin's expression as if something important is in his body, the child's heart moved, and he remembered that he could call people over in this way, but he didn't expect it...... Hey hey"
After speaking, Ye Lin scratched her head and stuck out her tongue. At this time, it's okay to sell cute, right? If pretending to be cute can reduce the punishment, Ye Lin chooses to pretend for a lifetime, after all, the ancient family laws are quite inhumane, and it seems inevitable that the punishment for making this kind of thing happen by herself, but I don't know how miserable it will be, and this cousin next to me is a role model.
The atmosphere around her seemed to stiffen, and Meng Xin opened her mouth, feeling her throat a little dry.
"Is what Lin'er said true?"
"Seriously"
Meng Xi burst into tears on the spot.
"Father, the child is wronged, why don't you believe the child?"
This hoarse voice, this miserable appearance, is simply sad to see, and the listener is crying. Meng Ran's face was extremely embarrassed, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and he said weakly.
"That, at that time, the father was just a little impulsive......"
Then thinking of his fatherhood, Meng Ran made a straight face again.
"What a body does a man cry and cry for! Anyway, Ye Lin's niece also brought you over, so don't hurry up and thank them! ”
Meng Xi, who was succumbing to his father's majesty, still stopped his tears, walked in front of Ye Lin with a twitch of his nose, and bowed his hands.
"Meng Xi thanks his cousin for leading the way"
"Ah, haha, no thanks, no thanks"
Ye Lin laughed dryly twice and patted Meng Xi's shoulder for comfort, and Meng Xi's body trembled again.
"But with such a fuss, the matter has already spread out, even if it is blocked now, it can't stop the gossip from the outside world."
At this time, my father spoke, and said the issues that people in this era took very seriously, and the surroundings fell silent. Hearing this, Ye Lin was shocked, it's over, Lao Tzu forgot that the atmosphere of this era is different, and he also forgot that he is now a female baby!
"That can't be helped, after all, it's our side's fault"
Meng Xin said faintly.
"Then grieve Xi'er, let Lin'er and Xi'er make a marriage contract first, so that it can not only block other people's mouths, but also make the two of us closer, Xiaoran, do you think this is okay?"
Why are you so happy? Ye Lin squinted at Meng Xin. Meng Ran's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he scratched his head embarrassedly,
"How embarrassing is this, sister, this is my godson here, this stinky boy is in trouble first, how can he wronged Lin'er niece"
"It's okay, Brother Meng Ran, do you think that our Ye family is not worthy?"
Ye Heng also intervened at this time. Meng Ran hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this.
"How could it be, how could it be"
The three of you said a word, and the marriage was decided, and Ye Lin looked confused.
Ha? In this era, marriage events have become so casual, what about your parents, do the elders in the family know? Ye Lin's mind exploded at this time, and she subconsciously looked at the other protagonist of the incident.
I saw that Meng Xi's face was slightly red, and there was still a hint of shyness when he looked at Ye Lin with watery eyes, and when he saw Ye Lin looking back at him, he immediately lowered his head, but he glanced up a few times from time to time. Ye Lin's face was full of question marks, what's the matter with your little daughter-in-law, you have taken a fancy to the six-year-old girl?
The interaction between Ye Lin and Meng Xi obviously caused a misunderstanding between the three adults. Meng Ran laughed and thanked the Ye family and his wife. Meng Xin looked at the two children, her face full of love. Ye Heng also seemed to be quite satisfied, brushing his beard, his eyes full of smiles. Meng Xi bowed his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Only Ye Lin stared at the three of them with a desperate expression, and they were already like in-laws, greeting each other and enjoying themselves.
The next day, Ye Lin of the Ye family and Meng Xi, the son of the Meng family, made a marriage contract, which was known all over the city.
