Lin Yue heard from her grandmother-in-law that the matter in the garden had failed, and immediately rushed to Zhong Qinghe's boudoir, and heard Mama Feng's voice outside the room, but did not go in and hid in the corner on the side, until Mama Feng left, she did not enter Zhong Qinghe's boudoir, at this time Zhong Qinghe bit her lower lip stubbornly, her hands gradually tightened, and her green nails were embedded in her palms without noticing.

Zhong Qinghe saw the Lin family walk in, and sat down angrily, "Mother, Lu Rui was detained by that Feng Pozi, and she was still showing off her majesty in me, and she actually used that slut to suppress me." Resigned, she swept the teacup on the small table to the ground.

"You're thankful you didn't do this in front of that woman, but it's just that the green stamen was detained, it's not a big deal. Lin Yue comforted while letting her grandmother clean up the porcelain tiles on the ground.

"You kid, why can't you hold your breath like this, and you still hurt yourself like this, look at the palm of the writing hand is injured like this, and the nails are broken. Lin Yue took Qinghe's hand and cleaned her wounds, "You feel distressed to look at your mother like this." Now, we can only endure, and it is not time to clean them up. ”

"When is the time, I've had enough!" Zhong Qinghe withdrew his hand abruptly and shouted impatiently.

Seeing this, Lin Yue rubbed her temples lightly with her forehead, and sighed, "Qinghe, you have to distinguish the current form." Now your father only has that little slut in Xinxue Courtyard in his eyes, where is your mother and me, not to mention that you are so reckless and impulsive, and then you have a conflict with that slut, where will you have any good fruit to eat. ”

"But even then, I couldn't swallow it. Neiying was completely damaged, and she was restrained by the mother-in-law, but she took this opportunity to control everything in the house. Zhong Qinghe looked at the injury on his hand, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of anger, "I, Zhong Qinghe, swear that everything I have endured today will be returned by Zhong Li's slut in every way!"

Lin Yue listened to what Zhong Qinghe said, and then she felt that her head was not as swollen and painful as before, she slowly stood up and walked to Zhong Qinghe's side, "Qinghe, you listen to your mother's words, and endure for a while to achieve your goal." In the past, my mother endured it, but now I just endure it again. She is the same age as you, and she acted inappropriately a few years ago, even if she is proud now, but after all, the future is long, we can ......"

"My daughter knows, then I'll prepare a big gift for her, and let her taste it......" Zhong Qinghe hooked the corners of his mouth to reveal a vicious smile, leaned over Lin Yue's ear and whispered.

In the Cuizhu Courtyard, everything has been cleaned up, Eleven flew around in the courtyard, dismantled some Cuizhu Hanmei, sent them to Zhong Xiao like a treasure, and stuffed some into Zhong Li's hands, tilting his head and looking at her seriously. Seeing this, Zhong Li boasted that Eleven had a unique vision, and this bamboo plum also complemented each other, making this midwinter weather more energetic.

"Good looking. Seeing that everyone was smiling, Eleven was also quite happy, and asked with a smile.

Zhong Li handed the plum bamboo in his hand to An Ran, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully unfolded it and handed it to Eleven, "This is a preserved apricot, it's delicious, try it." ”

Eleven looked at the preserved apricots in Zhong Li's hand, then at Zhong Xiao, reached out and quickly stuffed one into his mouth, his expression changed instantly, he frowned sourly at first, and was about to spit it out, but he smiled again, and nodded vigorously, "It's delicious!" As he spoke, he quickly took a few more into his own hands and ate them without stopping. Suddenly, he stopped his movements and gave Zhong Xiao the only two dried apricots left in his hand, "Brother Xiao, this is delicious, you can try it too, Eleven won't lie to you." ”

"Okay, I'll eat it too, and I'll keep the rest of the eleven and eat it slowly. However, you can't eat too much of this, and if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat dumplings at night. Zhong Xiao smiled and took a dried apricot and put it in his mouth, and told him again, afraid that he would eat it all at once.

"Oh!" Eleven was still smiling, but after listening to Zhong Xiao's words, the smile on his face was suddenly wiped out, and he responded with a pout, and carefully put away the dried apricots given by Zhong Li.

Zhong Li held back a smile and coughed lightly, then asked, "Brother, have you always been in charge of Eleven like this?"

"Yes! Since I knew that Eleven was a special child, although he had strange martial arts and his skills were first-class, but after all, he was a child, so he could only be more attentive. Zhong Xiao glanced at Eleven, who dodged into the house, folded his hands in front of him, said softly, and looked at Zhong Li helplessly, "You were separated from your brother when you were a child, and you can't always guard your side for your brother, presumably you ......"

When Zhong Li heard Zhong Xiao say this, he immediately interrupted his words, "Brother, you and I are only a small difference, it's really helpless, brother doesn't have to blame himself, we still have a lot to do, don't we?"

"What my sister said is that we still have a lot to do. What is reclaimed needs to be recovered after all. Zhong Xiao naturally understands that now is not the time to lament the past, and the past is useless.

Seeing that the two of them hadn't entered the house, Eleven shouted and returned to the courtyard again, "Brother Xiao, come quickly, here is your favorite flute." As he spoke, he raised the flute in his hand to attract Zhong Xiao's attention.

"Eleven is going to play by himself, but you can only run around here, and no other places are allowed. Zhong Xiao smiled and turned to the flute in Eleven's hand, put away his smile, and commanded Eleven seriously.

Zhong Li quietly looked at Eleven with a face full of grievances on the side, and started a round, "Brother is really, why should he be restrained in his own house." ”

"Although it is in my own house, it is a Gyeonggi important place after all, and if I don't stick to it now, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble. Zhong Xiao was always a little worried in his heart, and when he saw his sister say this, he had to express his doubts, "Now, it is true that you are in charge of the house, but don't forget a person, she has a deep foundation in the house, and she must always take precautions." Isn't that what happened to the people over there? ”

When Zhong Li heard this, his expression changed slightly, and the aura around his body instantly decreased a lot, and there was a chill in his deep eyes. In order not to let Zhong Xiao notice his abnormality, he immediately turned around and commanded in a low voice, "Du Juan will take An Ran to prepare some refreshments, and let the next person go to the study for a while, and say that Young Master Yan is freshening up, and he will go to see the master later." ”

Zhong Xiao looked at her, but the hand in the wide sleeve tightened slightly, he could see the changes in his sister's mood, and he kept speculating in his heart about what had happened over the years, and he made his well-behaved and happy sister become like this, and his eyes were full of distress.

For a whole hour, the brother and sister talked a lot, but the knot in Zhong Xiao's heart became tighter and tighter, and every time he talked about Zhong Zihong, the original warm breath would be replaced by resentment. Zhong Li is only this matter that can be solved overnight, and can only be resolved slowly in the future.

When Zhong Zihong learned that Zhong Xiao had returned home, he also had mixed feelings in his heart. instructed the housekeeper to prepare his favorite food when he was a child, and personally went to the ancestral hall to prepare the objects for worshipping his ancestors, and he didn't care about drinking a sip of water, and paced back and forth in the study waiting for Zhong Xiao's arrival.

"Brother, the past has passed, my father has been deceived for many years, and he has been leading troops all year round, and many things are beyond his control. Although Zhong Li has prejudices against Zhong Zihong, she knows that everything in the house is the work of the mother and daughter in the Fuyuan Courtyard, and Zhong Zihong's inaction has fueled their arrogance.

"Have you forgiven him?" Zhong Xiao asked sharply as he looked at her in disbelief.

"Too many things have happened over the years, and the father is not completely unaware of what the mother and daughter have done. But brother, you should also understand that your father is away all the year round, and what they want him to know must know, and if they don't want to, they will naturally not know. Zhong Li didn't reply immediately, but shook his head lightly, "Moreover, Xuanhan is based on filial piety, even if he is wrong, what can he do as a child?" he has a reputation for spoiling his concubine, and his grandmother's affairs are ......" Zhong Li swallowed back halfway through his words, "This matter spreads, and the reputation will not be good after all." ”

Zhong Xiao is like being drunk, he is much older Zhong Li, but he is not as thoughtful as his sister who is not yet in the age of sideburns, and he is ashamed, "Sister! ”

Zhong Li bowed slightly, and whispered in relief, "I know that my brother is not angry about the past, so he asked Li'er like this." Li's childhood was also anxious, and there was nothing serious about speaking, and I hope my brother will not blame us! Let's go to the study first, and we must go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors in the afternoon. ”

"How could I blame you? Brother and sister have to thank me for reminding me, otherwise I really missed a big mistake. Zhong Xiao said very calmly, and then stood up, "It's time for us to go to the study to meet my father." ”

However, this time the father and son met not so harmoniously, although the fire dragon was lit in the room, the atmosphere of the conversation was icy. Zhong Xiao deliberately avoided it, which made Zhong Zihong feel extremely headache. No matter what he does, Zhong Xiao's response is always rigid and respectful.

For a while, he even had the feeling that his son, who had not seen him for many years, always rejected him thousands of miles away. Even colder than Zhong Li's attitude not long ago. In order to change the atmosphere, Zhong Zihong put down his original figure, his tone was much softer, and he told Zhong Xiao that the carriage had been prepared in the house, and they would go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors later.

Zhong Xiao stood up and respectfully bowed to Zhong Zihong, "The child is all arranged by his father." However, the child has a word first, and there will be one person who will follow the child to the ancestral hall in a while, and it is really reassuring to leave him alone, so as not to be framed by others. ”

"You mean that kid named Eleven?" Zhong Zihong listened to his words, and it was inevitable that he didn't feel good in his heart, but in the end, he still asked in a lighter tone.

Zhong Xiao took a deep breath and replied expressionlessly, "Yes." If my father doesn't think it's suitable, it's okay if Eleven doesn't enter the ancestral hall. ”

"Then let's go together, it's up to you to decide whether you can get in or not. Seeing him say this, Zhong Zihong took a step back again, and let him make his own choice.

Zhong Xiao stood up and bowed his hand, "The boy thanks his father for his success, so he will go back to the room to prepare for one or two and retire!" There was no emotion or warmth in his words, and he turned around and left the study before the words fell.
