、、、、、、、、、、 "Auntie." Shuangzhi only glanced at the old lady Lin, whose temples were already a little gray, and then bowed elegantly.

Old Madam Lin stared at Shuangzhi for a while before she smiled, "This is Tuo'er's newlywed wife?" What a lovely boy, excuse yourself and sit and talk. ”

Shuangzhi thanked him, and after Mrs. Lin sat down in the first place, she lowered her eyebrows and sat down on the chair next to Shi Tuo.

"Uncle, I have been back in Beijing for a few days, and I have been delayed and unable to come to my aunt and uncle to say goodbye, please forgive me." After Shi Tuo sat down, he pleaded guilty to Mrs. Lin, and it could be seen that he respected his uncle's family very much.

Old Madam Lin smiled gently, and her tone was kind, "Tuo'er is a busy person and a dignified general, so naturally he is busy with official business, and his aunt and uncle know that you have this filial piety." ”

Shi Tuo smiled slightly, "Uncle, I want Shuangzhi to give to you two elders, but uncle is in the study?" ”

Old Madam Lin's face was a little embarrassed, "That's it, it's just ...... It's just that your uncle is not at home now, and I think this tea ceremony is exempt, everyone is a family, and there is no need to remember these rituals. ”

Shuangzhi lowered her head, and a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth, she was not surprised that she would be treated like this, if she accepted the wife that the Shi family gave Shi Tuo so easily, she felt strange.

Although this Old Lady Lin looks amiable, the faint coldness and alienation between her words can still be felt, and from the moment she just entered the door, the housekeeper and maid of the Lin Mansion did not respect her as much as Shi Tuo, which was probably influenced by Master Lin.

Thinking about the Lin Mansion's resentment against the Shi family, I am afraid that it will not be resolved in two days, when Shi Tuo's mother married into the Shi family, it has made the Lin family very dissatisfied, and later Master Shi also made a maid ring a continuation, which simply made the relationship between the Lin and Shi families worse, Shi Tuo's grandfather seemed to have aggravated his condition because of this, and a month after his daughter's death, he also became immortal.

Shi Tuo's grandfather only had two daughters, Master Lin and Lin Wanniang, and Lord Lin was more than ten years older than Lin Wanniang, everyone in the family regarded Lin Wanniang as the pearl in the palm of their hands, and Lin Wanniang's death hit everyone in the Lin family hard, especially Master Lin, he was the one who cherished Lin Wanniang the most.

Shi Tuo's eyes darkened, "In that case, let's wait for my uncle to come back and then serve tea." ”

Old Madam Lin smiled, "Tuo'er, you are still so stubborn. ”

Shi Tuo glanced at Shuangzhi apologetically, his uncle had a grudge against the Shi family, but he really shouldn't be angry with Shuangzhi.

Shuangzhi gave him a knowing smile.

"Uncle, I received a letter from my uncle a few years ago, saying that I had prepared a letter to Shi?" Seeing Shuangzhi's understanding smile, Shi Tuo's heart warmed, and he hoped that Shuangzhi could make the Lin Mansion agree, he didn't want Shuangzhi to be wronged.

"Yes, the emperor has already given his permission, and let Zhiyun inherit your uncle's official position, which is a happy event." Mrs. Lin smiled, thinking that her only son was originally only six officials, and now she has inherited her husband's official position, so she has it, how can it not be the blessing of the Lin family.

"My cousin is knowledgeable, and he will definitely be appreciated by the emperor." Shi Tuo said with a shallow smile.

"I hope so, in a few days, Zhiyun will officially take office, your uncle, you will stay at home to enjoy the flowers and the moon in the future." Old Madam Lin said with a smile.

"Not only to enjoy the flowers and the moon, but also to appreciate the beauty, mother, so do you think Daddy's Zhishi is a good thing?" As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she heard a clear laugh outside the hall.

Shuangzhi looked at it when he heard the voice, but it was a man in Chinese clothes in his teens, who was born elegantly, with a hearty air between his eyebrows and eyes, and looked like a very good person.

Old Madam Lin glanced at him with disgust, "It's not a good thing, let's show Tuo'er a joke." ”

The person who came was Mrs. Lin's alone, Lin Zhiyun.

Lin Yunzhi looked at Shi Tuo in surprise and said, "With Shi Tuo's face that has not changed for thousands of years, will he still laugh at me?" ”

Shi Tuo glanced at Lin Yun, his face expressionless.

"Do you still want to tell people's jokes? Is there anyone like you? "Mrs. Lin is not angry, her husband is clearly unrestrained and smiling, but her son is cunning and talkative, I don't know where it came from, people are officials, which one is not Si Si who speaks politely, but although her son looks gentle, sex is not like that at all.

Lin Yunzhi smiled indifferently, sat down on the chair opposite Shi Tuo, and his gaze fell on Shuangzhi's face, "This is my cousin, oops, I really lost my temper just now." ”

Shuangzhi Yingying got up and gave Lin Yunzhi a salute, "Cousin." ”

Lin Yunzhi got up and saluted back, "My cousin is polite." ”

Shuangzhi smiled slightly, feeling that this cousin was probably the only person in the entire Lin Mansion who was not hostile to him.

"I heard my father say that you wanted it a few years ago, I really can't believe it, which girl is so wronged to marry you this stone, tsk, cousin, you must not have known that the person you wanted to marry was him." Lin Yunzhi asked Shuangzhi with a smile.

Shuangzhi was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Yunzhi to have the same idea as herself, Shi Tuo was a cold and hard stone, but she didn't dare to say that she agreed with his words, she just smiled at Lin Yunzhi, "Before getting married, I had already seen Shi Tuo." ”

Mrs. Lin glanced at Shuangzhi with dissatisfaction, and felt that this woman should not be a lady, where is there a girl who met her husband before she got married.

Although they knew that Shi Tuo was married, because they still had a mustard in their hearts, they naturally didn't ask which girl Shi Tuo married, and Shi Tuo certainly didn't introduce Shuangzhi's family history in such detail in the letter.

Lin Yunzhi said with a smile, "My cousin is also from Pujing City? ”

"He's a friend of the Shi family, and Ling Zun is a businessman?" Old Madam Lin asked, her tone a little contemptuous.

Shuangzhi smiled disappreciatively, "My father is not a businessman, and the Fu family and the Shi family are indeed world friends." ”

Old Madam Lin's eyes rolled, "Fu family? Your surname is Fu? ”

Shuangzhi nodded and smiled, "Yes, aunt." ”

Lin Yunzhi looked at Old Madam Lin with interest, and then said to Shuangzhi, "As far as I know, there seem to be several families with the surname Fu in Pujing City, cousin and sister, have you heard of it?" ”

Shi Tuo raised his eyebrows and stared at Lin Yunzhi inexplicably.

Shuangzhi Duanya smiled lightly, "Now it's my brother who is taking care of it." ”

Old Madam Lin's face suddenly changed slightly, and she stared straight at Shuangzhi.

Lin Yunzhi stood up suddenly, "I take the liberty of asking my cousin, is Ling Zun's name full of blessings?" ”

Shuangzhi Yingying smiled, "It turns out that my cousin knows my father?" ”

Lin Yunzhi and Mrs. Lin exchanged glances, and each other's eyes were a little stunned, and Mrs. Lin was not only stunned, but also a trace of astringency.

"The ancestor of the Fu family was regarded as the first wise man in the world back then, and he had some connections with our Lin Mansion, so he took the liberty to ask his cousin and sister to be sure." Lin Yunzhi's tone still carried some temptation.

Shuangzhi said with a smile, "Grandpa resigned and returned to his hometown, he is no longer the first in the world, and he has passed away for many years, and now where can our Fu family grandchildren still afford the reputation of grandpa." ”

After hearing what Shuangzhi said, Mrs. Lin's eyes were already wide and she couldn't speak.

Lin Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said continuously, "Okay! Good! Good! ”

Shuangzhi wondered, he didn't know what Lin Yunzhi was good about, so he turned his head and looked at Shi Tuo suspiciously, and Shi Tuo also looked at Lin Yunzhi inexplicably.

Old Madam Lin quickly calmed down, and in exchange for the housekeeper, she whispered a few words in his ear, and the housekeeper listened to it, answered, and turned around and went out.

"Tuo'er, it's not too early, I'll stay here for dinner at noon today, so I can wait for your uncle to come back, your uncle hasn't seen you for a long time, and I think I have a lot to say to you." Old Madam Lin said with a smile.

Shi Tuo thought for a moment and agreed, he also wanted his uncle to meet Shuangzhi, and not to have any prejudice against Shuangzhi.

Shuangzhi suddenly felt strange, although Mrs. Lin covered it up well, she vaguely felt that it seemed that Mrs. Lin had softened her attitude a lot.

Since Shi Tuo agreed to stay for dinner, Mrs. Lin asked her to arrange lunch in the flower hall.

"It's still early, if you two brothers have anything to say, go to the study and say, and I can go to the garden with Shuangzhi." Old Madam Lin stood up and said to Lin Yundao.

Lin Yunzhi agreed with a smile.

Shuangzhi knew that Old Madam Lin was signaling herself to follow her, she reluctantly glanced at Shi Tuo, and in Shi Tuo's worried eyes, she left the hall with Old Madam Lin.

"I don't know what the situation of Pujing City is now, and I haven't been back for many years." Old Madam Lin and Shuangzhi came to the garden in the backyard, and let people prepare some almost in the gazebo, and after sitting down, they sighed inexplicably.

"Pujing City is still Pujing City, nothing has changed." Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Old Madam Lin looked at her deeply, "Is everyone in the family okay?" ”

Shuangzhi was stunned in his heart, did this old lady Lin ask everyone from the Shi family or everyone from the Fu family? She replied softly, "Everybody's fine. ”

Old Madam Lin glanced at her with a smile, "Then the slave will treat you well?" She can even kick Tuo'er out of the house. ”

This minion is talking about Madame Shi, right? Can she answer that?

Mrs. Lin didn't have to answer, and quickly moved on to other topics, but fortunately, it was just some homely chats, and she didn't ask such sharp questions again.

Not long after, the housekeeper who had just been sent out by Mrs. Lin came and saluted them, "Old lady, the master is back and is in the hall." ”

Old Madam Lin smiled and said to Shuangzhi, "Then let's go to the hall." ”

Shuangzhi stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Lin's arm, but Mrs. Lin didn't avoid it, just smiled gently at her, and walked to the hall together.

In the hall, Shi Tuo and Lin Yunzhi were sitting at the top of a man with gray temples but strong spirits and a tough and thin body.

This should be Master Lin.

Shuangzhi walked out and saluted him, "Uncle." ”

Master Lin stared at Shuangzhi sternly and nodded lightly.

This is a shrewd and very difficult old man! Shuangzhi thought to himself.
