For two days in a row, Lin Duan didn't call the third lady again. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't confess and didn't want to continue to hide it, but chose what he thought was a smarter way: find an opportunity to escape. He couldn't ask for something that wasn't him, he had to get out of here and go back to his mother. He misses his mother, he misses the silent and pale woman, the woman who gave birth to herself, even if she doesn't like her very much, but when she is happy, she smiles at herself, she really smiles at herself, unlike here, where people's respectful words and kind smiles are actually for another child.

He searched for all sorts of reasons to run outside, but he found that he had run out of the large courtyard that was unbelievably wide, and there was a larger courtyard outside. Accustomed to living in a small snail house in the city, it is difficult for him to understand why there is such a park-like mansion, full of pavilions, water pavilions, flowers and trees, the whole yard is bigger than the park he frequents, it has a nice name, called Yingluo Garden. Liu'er, the maid who followed Lin Dui, told him that this garden belonged to the third lady, because there was a "Luo" character in the middle of the third lady's name, so it was named Yingluo.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the garden is, it can't stop Lin Dui's heart from wanting to fly. He insisted on going outside the garden, but when he had begged for everything, he was taken out of the garden gate, only to find that he had entered another garden. Seeing that it was the young master on the third lady's side, the two servants who guarded the door received them respectfully, and prepared to inform the master of the garden. It turned out that this garden was called Lingsu Garden, but it was the residence of the second lady. Lin Du was afraid that he would meet Lin Yi who liked to "move his hands and feet" again, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Er out in a hurry.

The residence of the two ladies is so big, how big will the entire Lin family compound be? How can it be equivalent to a small city, right? With such a big place, Lin Duan would really have to work hard to escape.

He raised his face, looked at Liu'er with a worried brow, and asked, "Sister Liu'er, how big is our family?"

Liu Er squatted down, stretched out his hand to tidy up his clothes, and said: "I can't tell how big it is, but it must be the largest mansion in the three counties of Linhai, that is, in the entire Dongting County, in addition to the Dongting Hou Mansion, we also count the Huaiqing Hou Mansion." ”

"Oh. Lin Dui nodded matter-of-factly, but he didn't understand much, he only knew what the father here was the Marquis of Huaiqing, the Lin family was a double marquis, and the entire Dongting County was sealed, and the fiefdom of the Marquis of Huaiqing was by the sea, which was the so-called three counties of Linhai. But what kind of official is Hou Ye, what kind of place is Dongting County, he has no concept at all, and he doesn't want to understand this. What's the use? Mom and Dad are not their own.

He asked again: "Sister Liu'er, do you want to know how big our Hou Mansion is?"

Liu Er was a little strange, and she didn't know which nerve the young master had provoked, so she always grabbed the area of the Hou Mansion, although she was not interested, she still said very cooperatively: "I want to." ”

Lin Du smiled, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth: "Then let's take a test." ”

Liu Er was puzzled: "How to measure?"

"We walked around the outer wall of the Hou Mansion and counted how many steps we walked, and we could estimate it. ”

When Liu Er heard this, she felt that it really made sense, and couldn't help but clap her hands and say, "The young master deserves to be a young master, he is so smart!"

Lin Du smiled shyly, thinking, but I am not the young master of your family, and urged: "Then let's go?"

"Good!"

Liu Er thought to herself, this is also a meaningful thing, and when she goes back and tells Madame, Madame will definitely praise the young master for being willing to use her brains, and even praise herself with it, but ...... Wait! This is to leave the Hou Mansion, Madame told me that you can't go out of the mansion, and I almost forgot when I was happy, if I lost the young master again, my ten lives would not be enough to compensate! So after walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around and bent down, and said to Lin Dui: "Young Master, the Hou Mansion is too big, and it will be tiring to walk around, so it is better for us to let Erfu and them measure." ”

Erfu is a servant who does odd jobs in the Yingluo Garden. Lin Du thought that his careful thinking had succeeded, and he was secretly happy, but he didn't want Liu Er to come to this trick, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm not tired!"

But Liu Er had already walked over to greet Lin Erfu. Lin Du had no choice but to hang his head and follow Liu Er, because the adult's words didn't count, and secretly slandered himself.

In the past two days, the little Lin Du tried his best to think of a way, and begged Liu'er to take him out, but Liu'er refused to give in at all. He thought that the real young master would be able to disappear, and it would not be a problem for him to run away, but who knew that there was no chance at all, and Liu Er always followed inch by inch. I think it was the "mother" who was afraid that the child would be lost again, so she gave an order to strictly guard against it, not to mention the Hou Mansion, but to take a look at the sky outside the high wall is an extravagant hope.

Lin Du was like a bird in a cage, and he could only hold the uneasiness in his heart and endure it day by day in the Hou Mansion. Knowing that Liu Er refused to take him out, he stopped wandering around and locked himself in the study angrily.

The study room was specially prepared by the third lady Jin Luohua for her son, and there were two large bookshelves displayed inside, each of the hundreds of books was carefully selected, and the bookshelves were stuffed to the brim.

Lin Du tiptoed out a book from the bookshelf, opened it curiously, and found that the Chinese characters in the book were similar to those he had learned, all of them were Chinese Chinese characters, but there were many unsimplified traditional Chinese characters, I didn't know much about them, and I could barely read a page of the book, but half of it was guessing.

He remembered that there should be dictionaries and dictionaries in this world, so he stood on a chair and looked at the titles of books on the shelves one by one. Sure enough, as expected, on the top layer of the bookshelf is a thick "Da Zhou Dictionary". He was overjoyed, got down from the chair, dragged the chair to the bookshelf with great difficulty, and then climbed up the chair to get the dictionary, but he was too short to stand on the chair and couldn't reach it, so he had to stand on tiptoe again, just touched the dictionary, but the center of gravity of the chair was unstable and tilted to the side, and he fell to the ground with the book, making a series of sparse noises.

Liu Er, who was guarding outside the study, ran in as soon as possible, hurriedly helped the little master up from the ground, hugged him to the chair, and asked him with concern if he had fallen and hurt. Lin Dui's ass was painful, but he still held the thick dictionary in his arms and shook his head at Liu Er with a frowning little eyebrows.

He happily placed the dictionary on his desk and opened it, only to be dumbfounded. Instead of the pinyin alphabet he was familiar with, he used some ancient Chinese pinyin that resembled the Japanese katakana, which he couldn't read at all. Turning his head, he saw that Liu Er was still standing aside, so he pointed to a word on the page and asked, "Sister, how do you spell this?"

Liu Er leaned over and took a look, and shook her head: "Young master, I can't read." ”

Lin Du realized that this place was different from his own world, and some adults didn't know how to read, so it was possible for children to read late, and the original young master might not have learned to read. He panicked, for fear of being seen that he could read, so he quickly closed the dictionary, jumped out of the chair, rubbed his still sore buttocks, and shouted, "Oops, my ass is broken!"

Liu Er hurriedly bent down and carefully kneaded him. Lin Du turned around embarrassedly, blushing and asking, "By the way, Sister Liu'er, did you bring me back to the Hou Mansion?"

What he really wanted to ask was who brought me back to the Hou Mansion. He wanted to know where the old man had gone, and where the little girl had gone, although it was impossible to escape for the time being, but some doubts still had to be solved little by little, but he was afraid that he would ask something wrong and reveal his flaws.

"It's not me, it's Madame who found the unconscious young master on the mountain and brought the young master back. Liu Er replied with a smile.

"Oh. Lin Du knew that he couldn't ask anything from Liu'er, that old man might have only been in contact with "mother", or maybe he hadn't even seen "mother", and he didn't know his whereabouts for a long time. He suddenly remembered that first rainy night, and the other party clearly said that he would take him to his mother. Looking for a mother to find a mother, is it the "mother" here that you are looking for?

It's good that this mother is gentle and kind, but she is someone else's mother.

Lin Du was very unhappy, and worried about his situation, he picked up the dictionary and was about to stuff it on the shelf, but he heard Liu Er say on the side: "Young master, don't worry, Madam said that let the young master recuperate for a few days, and then he will continue to take literacy classes, with the young master's cleverness, it won't take two years to understand these books." ”

Lin Du was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he was worried in vain, and the real young master has been learning words, but he doesn't know what level he has learned. In two days, there will be a literacy class, and the characters here are so complicated, and the pinyin is so strange, will it really show its feet when the time comes? He silently stuffed the book back into the shelf, and beat a small drum in his heart.

Lin Du has her own separate bedroom. Yingluo Garden is so big, even if Jin Luohua has ten or eight more children, he still lives in a loose and spacious place. After finishing dinner together in the evening, Lin Dui cried out sleepy and asked Liu Er to take her back to her bedroom early. He tried his best to avoid contact with his "mother", so much so that he ate very little. "Mom" always looked at him with soft eyes, always put vegetables in his bowl, liked to hug him after dinner, and whispered in his ear. These are all things he had fantasized about before, and they were the warmth that every normal child could enjoy, but he didn't dare to accept them. He didn't dare to call her mother, he didn't dare to look up into her eyes, and when he finished his meal in a hurry with his head down, he jumped out of his chair and ran away.

He felt that this was not a deception, he did not deceive this gentle "mother", he was not her child, and he could not deceive her. But when he ran to his bedroom and locked the door, he would see "Mom" standing outside the door, quietly looking this way, she would stand for a long, long time, and her eyes were so thick with sadness that she couldn't dissolve. Lin Dui looked at it, and his nose was a little sour, so he jumped on the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

What a good mother she is, how happy she would be if she were really her own mother, and he wouldn't change anything. Why is he not her son? Thinking of her gentle smile, thinking of the way she looked at him, he felt so sad and sad in his heart, he felt that his eyes were wet and hot, and when he wiped it, it was full of tears.

So the little Lin Dusk choked under the quilt. He didn't dare to cry loudly, only dared to sobble under the quilt, and covered all his voices in the quilt. He is so sad, too depressed, everything here is strange and makes him panic, his mother here is so gentle but he can't love her, he is afraid of being exposed and afraid of being treated as a liar, he wants to leave but doesn't know how to leave, he misses his mother but doesn't know how to go home, he can't say anything but to bear it himself, but he is just a seven-year-old child, he can't bear it and he wants to cry.

The more he cried, the more sad he became, and suddenly realized that his mother probably didn't want him anymore, that he was born a disaster for his mother, and that he had always been a burden to his mother and a stumbling block to her pursuit of happiness. She would probably be happy if he left, and she might not miss herself at all if she missed her here.

But the mother here needs herself, and if her child is lost, she will probably never get it back, and she thinks of herself as her child. If he doesn't love her, no one will love her anymore, avoiding her and avoiding her will only make her sad, he doesn't want her to be sad, he also wants to have a mother who loves him, a mother who really loves himself!

Lin Du suddenly lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed, and leaned on the window to look out, the cold moonlight shone on the faint grass and trees outside the window, and "Mom" was still standing there, staring deeply at her doors and windows. He wiped away a handful of tears, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The night breeze blows through the garden, and the leaves rustle. At that moment, he suddenly regretted a little, he shouldn't have come out, this woman was not his mother after all, but he heard her call "Twilight", her voice trembled, full of surprise and anticipation that could not be concealed. This voice finally broke all his worries and scruples, and broke all the child's defenses, and he ran to her, and threw himself into her arms, and she also opened her arms and held him tightly in her arms. Feeling his thin little body twitching in her arms, she gently patted him on the back and whispered softly in his ear: "Don't be afraid, Mom will always be there, no matter what, Mom will always be there." ”

The little child began to cry loudly, and in the midst of his crying he kept crying over and over again: "Mother...... Mommy ......"
