Chapter 204

The weather is getting colder day by day, and the whole Shangjing City, heavy snow covers the streets of the houses, and as far as the eye can see, it is a snow-white color. In the Yingwu General's Mansion, in a small courtyard to the west, Cui Ling was sitting in front of the window embroidering. Outside, a tall woman wearing a dark blue jacket walked in, bowed slightly to Cui Ling, and then said with a smile: "Girl, you also pay attention to your eyes, it is good to embroider more dowries for yourself, but don't spoil your eyes." ”

Cui Ling's pretty face instantly blushed, and he only glanced at Aunt Lan and said, "Aunt Lan, where is there such a thing, I'm just idle and doing some needlework at will." His face flushed, and he put down the work in his hand, and then looked at Aunt Lan and said, "Aunt Lan, it's very cold outside now, don't do these jobs, just let those girls do it." ”

Aunt Lan rubbed her hands and said nonchalantly: "I am a slave after all, the general's mansion is willing to take me in and give me a bite to eat, I am already very grateful." If you don't do things diligently, you'll have to fall into the hands of others. After all, I don't want to raise idlers anywhere, and I don't want girls to be talked about. ”

"I am the real daughter of the general's mansion, what is Cui Ying'er, she is just a fox and a fake tiger. Cui Ling's voice was faint, and his tone was quite sad, and he only said indifferently, "Aunt Lan, don't be afraid, with me, others won't do anything to you." Besides, can't the eldest girl of my dignified and heroic general's mansion be the master and raise someone?"

The corners of Aunt Lan's lips were slightly hooked, and a smile flashed on her face, but before the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, it disappeared in an instant. She frowned slightly, walked closer to Cui Ling, and sighed: "The girl treats me well, I am very grateful, but the girl's status is noble, if you worry about those young ladies from slaves, you will lose your status." I am the person next to the girl, and I have to be valued by the girl, and others dare not do anything to me. It's just that recently, Mrs. has been telling the girl about her in-laws, and according to Mrs.'s hostility towards the girl, she shouldn't be a good person. Therefore, the girl must not make any mistakes at this moment, and must walk around the old lady often. The old lady is your own grandmother, and you are the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and your relatives The old lady will not turn a blind eye to Mrs. Hu. ”

"I understand. Cui Ling smiled lightly, thinking that in recent days, many noble families have come to the door to say goodbye, thinking that after getting married, he can leave this cold place, but he is a little looking forward to it. When the time comes, she will leave here with Aunt Lan and start a new life.

Seeing that her face was shining with a little expectation, Aunt Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and she thought for a moment with her eyes closed, thinking about the man who once said that she would marry her, but she fell in love with someone else. Indeed, when she came back this time, she not only wanted to go against Lin Wan, but also to take revenge on the man who had lost her.

Thinking of this, Aunt Lan clenched her fists, released them again, and said with a smile: "Although the girl was not fortunate enough to marry into the East Palace, the most important thing in the capital is the son of the noble family. In recent days, all of the people who came to kiss each other are extremely good. But...... Although they are all good, if they are really compared, they are better than the uncle of the Lu Guo Mansion. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Cui Ling, but seeing that she was also blank, Aunt Lan hurriedly lowered her head slightly and continued, "The slave maid heard that two years ago, the person in the capital who could be compared with the current King of Jin and the future Master of the Horse was the Uncle of the Lu family. ”

"Lu Yuan?" Cui Lingying's lips opened slightly, and she pronounced the name, and then she was a little confused.

Because she never thought that one day she would have anything to do with him.

After Aunt Lan said this, Cui Ling was really a little more serious, Lin Wan was married to Zhao Yong, the king of Jin, and Xue San was also married to someone else, she no longer had any hope for him. But deep down in her heart, she is still secretly comparing, she also has vanity, and she also wants to find a wishful husband, she only thought about being a diligent and motivated person, and she didn't have a heart so big that she wanted to marry Lu Guogong's mansion.

"Uncle Lu is quick to think and has Lin Quan's demeanor, even if I was born in Jiangmen, I may not be able to get into his eyes. Cui Ling wrote lightly, "Besides, the Lu family didn't come to the mansion to propose, how can this matter be ......?"

Aunt Lan said: "The girl doesn't have to be ashamed of herself, how can you not be worthy of Uncle Lu with such a look and quality? Besides, the girl has always had an excellent vision, and she was able to look down on Xue Sanshao before, but now she shouldn't just choose a mediocre man to live her life, right? Uncle Lu has its own strengths and weaknesses compared to Xue Sanye, and now Uncle Lu has not yet decided to have a family affair, why don't the girl fight for it?"

Cui Ling sat quietly, a pair of plain hands twisted together, and his eyebrows were twisted into a strand.

Seeing this, Aunt Lan added another fire and said: "Now that the princess of Jin is high, and Miss Zhou is gone, let's not talk about it, the second girl Xuan is married to the prince of the dynasty, and now a hundred years later, the prince will ascend the throne, and the second girl Xuan will definitely be the first of the four concubines." When the time comes, is the girl really willing to marry only a mediocre son of a rich and noble family to spend the rest of her life?" But seeing that Cui Ling was obviously very hesitant, Aunt Lan slowed down and said, "And Xue Sanye, who you once looked down on, but he didn't even look at you, the more so, the more the girl should fight hard." However, if the girl really only wants to marry a person with mediocre qualifications, and live a dull life from now on, it is also a good choice. ”

"No!" Cui Ling exclaimed, shaking his head, "I don't want to live like that." ”

Aunt Lan got up, stood in front of Cui Ling with a smile and said, "Girl, don't worry, don't worry, let's eat first, wait until we have our stomachs full, and then we will think about reading in the long run." ”

Because His Royal Highness the King of Jin led the troops outside and could not care about his wife and daughter at home, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Empress Dowager Zhuang directly ordered people to come to the Jin King's Mansion and took the mother and daughter of the Princess of Jin to the Yongshou Hall to accompany her old man to celebrate the New Year. It wasn't until the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year that Lin Wan hurriedly returned from the palace.

In advance, a girl had already prepared the festival ceremony, and the carriage was also ready, and after Lin Wan came back from the palace with Chaoyang, he went directly to the Gui'an Hou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

Early in the morning, Lin Qiong was dressed neatly and waited at the door of the Hou Mansion in a hurry.

When she saw the carriage of the Jin Palace, she was slowly moving towards this side, Lin Qiong was happy, but she didn't care much, so she ran to meet her. When she arrived at the carriage, Lin Qiong smiled and said, "Third sister, you are finally back, I miss you." With that, he kept rubbing his hands together and ran back with the carriage.

Lin Wan opened the curtain, glared at the fourth sister with a smile, and then said to the coachman, "Just stop here." ”

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Lin Qiong also stopped, and was so happy that she kept chattering in Lin Wan's ear. The little girl has lost a lot of weight, and her whole body has gradually twitched, and she is optimistic and cheerful, always like to smile on her face, and she is full of small words. When she saw Chaoyang, her eyes lit up, and she made a grimace when she came to Chaoyang.

Chaoyang was a little tired from playing with his little uncles and aunts in the palace for the past two days, and he didn't sleep all the time, so he fell asleep in the carriage. After waking up, he was already a little angry, but suddenly saw someone pretending to make a grimace to scare himself, Chaoyang looked at Lin Qiong in a daze, pouted, and whimpered to cry.

Lin Qiong hurriedly said: "Little ancestor, don't cry, don't cry for the New Year today." He circled around her again, "As long as you don't cry, you can do whatever you want your aunt to do in a while, okay?"

When Chaoyang heard this, he pouted and stopped crying.

"It's so fun!" Lin Qiong followed behind Chaoyang, playing with her little hands for a while, rubbing her little face for a while, and said with a happy smile, "Third sister, Chaoyang is so cute, just don't go back today, stay here for a few more days." He teased Chaoyang Xiaoshou again and said, "Chaoyang, okay?"

"Not good. Chaoyang lazily spit out two words, lying softly on the shoulders of the painting hall, and wilted, "Wait for Daddy ......"

"Your father has gone out to fight, and it will take a long time to come home, so you stay here for a few more days, and when your father comes back, my aunt will send you back." Lin Qiong had been teasing Chaoyang, but when she saw that she was about to cry again, she hurriedly panicked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

While coaxing the rising sun, the painting hall said to Lin Qiong: "Fourth girl, our eldest girl is looking forward to the prince coming home as soon as possible, and the princess told the girl that the prince will come back soon." You just told her that the prince would not come back for a long time, and she felt uncomfortable, but she cried. ”

Before the words of the painting hall fell, Chaoyang's little face was already wrinkled into a ball, and he called out a sigh and cried hard.

Lin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to persuade her, but she couldn't persuade her.

After entering the mansion, Lin Wan directly ordered someone to send the gifts to each room, and she took Chaoyang back to the courtyard where she lived when she was a girl at home. Before he got married, he lived in a small courtyard next to his mother's yard, and thinking of the good times when he was with his mother and younger brother before he got married, Lin Wan went to his mother's yard first.

Before he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure standing under a plum tree in the courtyard, standing with his hands in his hands at the moment, looking up at a red plum tree with an affectionate face. 166 Reading Network
