In the cold winter of October, Jingshi and other places are already covered in silver, and the world is one color.

In the ice and snow, an ox cart went north against the wind, and the rolling wheels crushed the ice and snow on the official road.

The red and swollen hands of the cold hugged the children one by one, for fear of freezing them.

"Third brother, how long will it take to get to the capital?" The woman in the bullock cart asked in a trill.

"Big lady, there are still three days of work at most, and it should have arrived long ago if it didn't snow." The man who drove the car was an honest man, and when he saw his mother and son freezing like this, he couldn't help but worry about the woman in the carriage.

Lin Yingsleeve took out the cake hidden in his arms and divided it into four parts, handed one to the third brother, and said sincerely: "Third brother, don't rest tonight, if you come early, we will suffer less." ”

The third sighed, "I'm just afraid that you girls can't stand it, eldest lady, I know that you miss Brother Xiucai, but you can't ignore yourself and your children, it's okay to arrive early." ”

After eating a half-full, he put his burden and sat under his body, this is after Tang Mo walked, Lin Yingsleeve took the time to make him two pairs of shoes, it often snows in the capital, and if you don't have a good pair of shoes, you will freeze your feet.

Closing his eyes and fantasizing, how happy Tang Moxing should be to see these shoes......

Outside the gate of the capital, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the third child looked into the city gate many times and did not see anyone coming.

At noon, a car with a lantern from Guifu walked out of the city gate, and when it came to Lin Yingsleeve, a middle-aged woman who was in charge of the daughter-in-law of a large family came down, and the person looked Lin Yingsleeve up and down, and the look was very uncomfortable.

Looking from head to toe, as if judging the head, without the slightest hint of respect, she puffed up her chest and looked directly at the woman, without fear.

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law saw that Lin Yingsleeve was wearing patched clothes, and although there was no fat powder on her face, it was not difficult to see that she was a beautiful embryo, and she was generous, so she had some calculations in her heart, and said with a smile: "Presumably this is the lady of the Lin family?" ”

Lin Yingsleeve felt strange about this title, she also went to a big family to wash clothes for others, and everyone called the main mother or grandmother or wife, and did not call her with her maiden name.

Lin Ying's sleeves were slightly gloomy, and although she was unhappy in her heart, she still spoke to this daughter-in-law with a friendly face: "Exactly, may I ask if this eldest lady is sent by my husband Tang Moxing to pick up our mother and son?" ”

After confirming the identity, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law invited her and the young master to get into the car, and told Lin Yingsleeve on the way that she would go to the inn to change her clothes first, after all, now Tang Moxing is the master of the official family, and Lin Yingsleeve looks really indecent.

Lin Yingsleeve heard this, and he didn't care too much, and when he arrived at the inn, the mother and son were familiar with each other. Coaxed the child to sleep first, just waiting for Tang Moxing to come over, and after a while, he heard the door ringing, Lin Yingsleeve got up three steps and walked two steps, and walked to the front room.

saw a pair of men and women sitting in the hall, and the man glanced at Lin Yingsleeve with guilt, and then lowered his head. The woman was gorgeously dressed, with bright eyebrows and an aggressive momentum.

The woman took two sips of tea, looked Lin Yingsleeve up and down, and asked slowly, "You are from the Lin family?" ”

Lin Yingsleeve bit her lip and did not answer, her body and mind were like an ice cellar, cold and numb. Not all fools can see what the relationship between this woman and Tang Moxing is.

It is normal for an official eunuch to have three wives and four concubines, even if Tang Moxing wants to take a concubine from her, who is the main room, he will not object, but what is this?

The woman snorted contemptuously twice, "Born in a small family, it's really hard to get on the stage, and I don't know how to say hello when I see the master's mother, Xianggong, look at her-"

Tang Moxing comforted the woman softly, such gentle eyes, such a low look, Lin Yingsleeve had never gotten it.

She raised her head, suppressed her hatred and annoyance, with a coldness in her eyes, and asked Tang Moxing: "At the beginning, the aunt of the Weng family came to the door to propose marriage, which was a gift for the main wife, why did she say that I was a concubine?" ”

Tang Moxing didn't dare to look at Lin Yingsleeve's eyes, and said in a voice: "Yingsleeve, you also know that I am now an official of the imperial court, if my wife is from a poor background, how can I negotiate with high-ranking officials and nobles?" Manniang, she is of noble birth, but she can be the main mother, I ...... I won't treat you badly! ”

Lin Yingsleeves trembled, her internal organs seemed to be turned upside down, she couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was, she stretched out a pair of hands, her ten fingers were red and swollen, and she was crying with tears, "I have been married to your family for fifteen years, I go out to wash people's clothes during the day, sew and do needlework at night, support your parents, provide for you to study, and give you children...... Why are you! ”

Manniang stood up, looked at Lin Yingsleeve condescendingly, and said in a deep voice: "I have done some trivial things for the master, but I want to invite you to succeed?" Besides, you volunteered, but no one forced you. As he spoke, he glanced at the mother-in-law beside him.

The woman walked towards Lin Yingsleeve menacingly, and raised her hand to greet Lin Yingsleeve's face.

Lin Yingsleeve's eyes were quick, she grabbed the woman's hand, her red eyes stared at Tang Moxing, every word of Manniang was like a knife, and it was fiercely inserted into Lin Yingsleeve's chest, and she said hatefully: "You really don't like me, give me a letter of resignation, and I'll leave." I can't want to degrade my wife as a concubine, how can I be a concubine for my dignified daughter? ”

"Xianggong, if you divorce your wife, it will be detrimental to your career, I don't think this Lin family is good at stubble, so I just send it to that unsightly place to prevent future troubles." Manniang's eyes were full of poison.

Tang Moxing pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said to Lin Yingsleeve: "Give you two ways, either sell you to the kiln, or keep to yourself and go back with me, for the sake of you giving birth to children for me, I won't treat you badly, do you want to leave the book!" ”

Lin Ying's sleeves were burning, the pain was like a knife, but his face was calm and waveless, but his eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic arc, the kiln was the most inferior place, any peddler and pawn could play as long as he had money, "Tang Moxing, you are so ruthless!" ”

Manniang was afraid that something would happen, so she ordered her subordinates, "Tie me up and take it back, and then notify the prefect to write a copy of her hometown and sell her to me in the kiln." ”

Lin Yingsleeve nodded tearfully and said, "Very good!" He glanced into the inner room and slammed into the stone pillar next to him.

Suddenly, blood splattered, and Manniang pretended to hide in Tang Moxing's arms.

The warm liquid spread from the top of his head, only to feel that his body was light and fluttering, and Lin Yingsleeve took one last look at the dog man and woman. She has no fear, no unwillingness, no attachment, no regrets, no resentment, if there is only some resentment that she is blind. I am blind and have nothing to do with others.
