Chapter 278: Sister
Xiao Yu returned to the palace and set up a banquet for Li Jiao to catch the wind and wash the dust. In addition to Xiao Yu personally accompanying him, only Xiao Yue and Xiao Yuyi can be regarded as a family banquet. After Li Jiao saw these two juniors, his mood was much better, Xiao Yue and Xiao Yuyi, the aunts and nieces were diametrically opposed, Xiao Yue, who was much older, was a little out of the way, but Xiao Yuyi, who was less than ten years old this year, was already a little adult, serious.
At the banquet, Xiao Yu just talked about some interesting things when he was a child, or what he saw and heard on the grassland, and never mentioned the general trend of the world, Xiao Yue made fun on the side from time to time. The mood has improved, Li Jiao is quite fond of Xiao Yuyi, who is considered his granddaughter, and the little girl is also well-behaved, and because she was taught by Lin Yinping by her side during this time, Xiao Yuyi is now quite a little lady of a big family, and her every move is according to the rules, not bad at all. If an old woman behaves like this, I am afraid that she will be muttered behind her back, but if a little girl does this, she is well-behaved and sensible.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Jiao said softly: "The princess is not in the capital?"
The smile on Xiao Yu's face froze slightly, and then returned to the original saying: "It coincides with the Autumn Society Day, and the silver screen has gone to Ning." ”
Li Jiao stared at Xiao Yu for a while and sighed.
In the next few days, Li Jiao, the owner of the peony flower, stayed in the palace, never went out of the city to enjoy the scenery, nor did he have any intersection with others, and he was in a closed-door manner. In this regard, Xiao Yu is helpless, knowing that her heart knot is not so easy to open, and it can only take time to heal slowly, but it took twenty years last time, how long will it take this time?
Xiao Yu could only sigh.
The autumn hunt was set on the tenth day of August, a period of five days, followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the reason why this is the case, is also to set the tone that Xiao Yu wants to spend the festival with the generals and Zhutaiji, today is the first day of the first month of August, and many matters of the autumn hunt have been prepared as a whole, but Xiao Yu still decided to check it in person, and strive not to make any mistakes.
At the same time, Xiao Yu sent another letter to Lin Han, the wording of the letter was quite harsh, and he must persuade Lin Yinping to participate in the autumn hunt, in addition to not using force, whether it is crying or begging, his brother-in-law will do it by himself, in short, on the tenth day of the first month of August, he will see Lin Yinping in Xiaoqiuling, if not, whether the brother-in-law wants to go to Jinyingkou to be a lieutenant who eats sand all day long, or go to Hanoi to be a horse groom, whatever you choose.
When Lin Han received the letter, it was already the fourth day of the eighth month, and the grassland Taiji was about to leave tomorrow, and he couldn't help but scold his brother-in-law in his heart for being shameless, and if he couldn't get his daughter-in-law, he would take out his anger at his brother-in-law. However, Lin Han also knew that Xiao Yu did what he said, if his sister really didn't go to the autumn hunt, it would not be possible to be dismissed, but my brother-in-law was afraid that he would really let himself go to Hanoi Prefecture to be a horseman for a few months with the title of governor of the right capital. After that, I don't want to look up in front of Xu Lin, Min Xing and others.
After returning to the royal court, Lin Yinping hid himself in the Zhenbei Mansion all day long, and he didn't know what he was doing. Lin Han still lived in his former most residence, after reading the letter, Lin Han folded the thin page of letter paper and put it in his sleeve, and said to the door: "Prepare the horse, I want to go to the palace." ”
Lin Yuan died of illness, the red lady was defeated, Lin Yinping went to Zhongdu with Xiao Yu, and the Zhenbei palace was completely idle. Under the cover of night, the rest of the entire Zhenbei Wangfu was still dark and gloomy, only one of them had a faint light, and that was where Lin Yinping was.
Lin Han rode his horse all the way, came to the gate of the palace, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to his entourage, walked into the palace, walked through the corridor and through the court, and came to the small Buddhist hall before stopping. The Buddha hall enshrines a three-zhang high white jade Guanyin, which was dedicated by a Taiji when Lin Yuan was alive, and there may be a reason to please the princess, the face of this white jade Guanyin is eight points similar to Lin Yinping's mother, so after Lin Yinping's mother died, Lin Yuan gave this Guanyin statue to his daughter, which is considered to be comforting.
There are three futons in front of the statue of Guanyin, Lin Yinping kneels on the futon in the middle, recites silently in his mouth, and turns the string of phoenix-eyed Bodhi seeds in his hand.
Lin Han didn't speak, just stood at the door.
After Lin Yinping finished chanting, he tied the rosary to his wrist, didn't get up, turned his back to the door and said flatly: "Xiaohan, what's the matter?"
Lin Han hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Brother-in-law has sent a letter, let us go back." ”
Lin Yinping had a complicated look on his face, his index finger and thumb gently pinched a Bodhi seed shaped like phoenix eyes, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Got it." ”
The Buddha hall was silent again.
After a long time, Lin Han cautiously asked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Lin Yinping said softly: "Xiao Han, sit down." ”
Lin Han walked into the Buddhist hall and sat down cross-legged on the futon on Lin Yinping's left, Lin Yinping slowly opened his eyes and asked, "I want to ask you what you mean first." ”
No wonder it is said that the house is moving, the body is raised, and my sister has changed the image of the innocent and kind stupid girl before during this time, and has become a little unfathomable, Lin Han slandered in his heart, and at the same time carefully worded, and said: "What I mean, it is naturally better to go back, after all, my brother-in-law has already known his mistake, and the autumn hunt is imminent, sister, you are the princess, if you don't go, it will inevitably make the thoughts of the various Taiji float." ”
Lin Yinping smiled inexplicably, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then it's up to you." ”
"Sister, it's not easy for me to say that my brother-in-law is not easy, he is called by those scholars in the Central Plains as the prince who is afraid of the inside, man, no matter how he is treated at home, he always has to save some face in front of outsiders,......" Lin Han's voice stopped abruptly, and he was stunned for a while before he hesitated to speak: "Sister, do you agree to go back?"
Lin Yinping got up from the futon, then sat on the futon on the right, reached out and knocked on the knee that was a little numb because of kneeling for a long time, and said angrily: "What, don't you want me to go?" Okay, you go back by yourself and see how Xiao Yu cleans you up. ”
Your husband and wife are colluding, aren't they? Is it fun to bully your brother and brother-in-law? Don't let people live this day? I'm really riding a yellow sheep, why do you want to clean up this mess for the two of you?
Lin Han slandered frantically in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "How can it." ”
Lin Yinping bent his legs, hugged his knees with both hands, and rested his chin on his knees, "You are getting more and more slippery, this is not good, and there are too many small movements in private, Xiao Yu doesn't like it." ”
The smile on Lin Han's face froze.
Lin Yinping's demeanor was as quiet as the white jade Bodhisattva statue behind him, and the childishness on his face had completely faded, leaving only the dignified woman who belonged to a mature woman. After the woman gets married, she is a member of her husband's family, and for the only younger brother of this mother's family, I am afraid that in addition to her husband, the woman is the closest person to the woman, she said softly: "Xiaohan, we were born in the grassland, we grew up in the grassland, we are good at riding horses and archery, but we are not good at scheming, and Xiao Yu was born in the Eastern Capital, and since he was a child, he has been exposed to deceit, and he is several times higher than you. But you have also seen the current situation, if it didn't coincide with the autumn hunt, he would be willing to pull down his face and beg me to go back? It's hard to say how much love is left between the two of us, but it's really not as good as before, you have to know it yourself. ”
Lin Yinping let go of her hands hugging her knees, crossed her legs, and the jumping candle flame in the Buddhist hall shone on her face, which seemed bright and dark, just like her voice, with a hint of gloom, "Besides, my body still has a few years to live? Now that I'm here, you can fly high, what if I'm gone? Xu Lin and Minxing will show mercy to your subordinates? Huang Hanji and Shen Dongzan will really help you? If Xiao Yu marries a new princess at that time, what kind of brother-in-law are you?"
Lin Yinping's voice was not high, but what he said made Lin Han like a mountain of burdens, and dense cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Xiao Yu said a long time ago that Lin Yinping is kind-hearted, but not stupid, many people always confuse goodness with stupidity, and always feel that goodness is incompetence, and they will be bullied.
Lin Yinping covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and said, "When I go back this time, I will try my best to let Xiao Yu transfer you back to his side, how to go in the future, you have to think about it." ”
Lin Han's head was muddy, and he shouted in a low voice, "Sister." ”
"Xiaohan, if my sister can help you, that's it. ”
