Chapter 161 Worry

Three days passed quickly!

The bride and groom returned home according to the custom, and after staying happily in Longtan Village for a few days, they both returned to the capital to prepare for the New Year.

Mrs. Yang saw that Xiao Qing had a sweet smile on her face all these days when she lived at home, and knew that she had not suffered any grievances in the Wang family these days. Modesty is added, although this daughter married far away, after all, her in-laws know her family well, and now seeing that the young couple get along very well, she finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Chenghai came back from the capital, he stopped sailing and stayed at home to prepare for the New Year. For their family, this year was a fat year, and they naturally earned a lot of money by sailing for several months.

In this regard, Shen was very proud of it. For the first time, he kept some of the New Year's goods that Xiao Chenghai brought back from the capital for himself, and divided the rest into three shares, one for the old house and one for Xiao Chengshan. Home, a copy was given to Lin Xueman.

Seeing the envious look in Yu Shi's eyes, she was very satisfied.In fact, she has been envious of the restaurant in the town for a long time, and she also thought that she could work there like Xiao Yun, and then get a share in it, but she saw that the third daughter-in-law didn't have any intentions in this regard, so she didn't feel embarrassed. Open your mouth.

It's useless to open the mouth, and the third daughter-in-law would not agree, after all, it was opened with a dowry. She has already seen that this third daughter-in-law would rather hire someone from outside than use people from the two of them, it is obvious Don't want to let them meddle....

Now that her boat is also making money, she is naturally very proud.Isn't it just a restaurant?There are so many people, it doesn't matter if you don't get involved, the family works together, but they don't get along well!

"These are all the new year's goods that my second brother brought back from the capital?" Xiao Yun looked at the large and small paper bags piled up on the kang, and said in surprise, "The sun is coming out from the west, and my second sister-in-law has made a lot of money this year, how can I send them away?" Come so many?"

"Your third sister-in-law brought all her share, these are two shares." Yang glanced at Xiao Jingzhi who was sitting aside.Said, "Anyway, this year she also has a heart. It seems that your second brother has also earned some money in the past few months, so he didn't run in vain!"

Xiao Jingzhi smiled, but said nothing.Seeing the prosperous life of the second child's family, as a father, he was naturally very relieved.

The family was chatting when they heard the door knock and a man walked into the yard with hesitant steps.

"You are?" Yang hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the kang.He went out and looked at the visitor suspiciously.She didn't know him. The man in front of her was wearing cotton trousers and a jacket, looking a little bloated. He looked like an honest farmer with an embarrassing smile on his face.

"Is it the in-laws? I'm looking for Xueman." The man gasped and glanced at her, his voice like a mosquito.Said softly, "I am Xueman's uncle."

"Uncle?" Yang heard the words.Can't help but think of that Lin Xuechuan, his face darkened, and he frowned, "What do you want to do with her?"

"It's nothing, just say a few words and leave. She, is she at home?" Lin Youquan said, sniffing. Although it is winter, the smell of fish here is still very strong, which is really a bit strange. I can't smell it...

"Then wait a moment." Yang looked at him with some disdain, turned around and pushed open the small wooden door, entered the new house, saw Lin Xueman sitting on the kang doing needlework, and said, "Xueman, your uncle is here. I have something to tell you."

"My uncle?" Lin Xueman was a little surprised. For a long time, she almost forgot the existence of this man, but why did he come here?

"Then let him come in!" Lin Xueman said, packed up her work, put on her shoes and got off the kang, could it be because of Lin Xuechuan's matter?

Yang responded, turned around and walked out.

"Xueman." After a while, Yang Shi led Lin Youquan in. Lin Youquan leaned on the edge of the kang and glanced at his niece, "You, are you okay!"

"Well, it's good." Lin Xueman responded softly, looked at his unfamiliar face, forced a smile, and said, "Sit down!"

"Then you talk." Yang looked at the two of them, walked to the stove expressionlessly, added some water to the pot, carried firewood, and sat in the stove to boil water.

"I've heard about your father. Has there been any news about him recently?" Lin Youquan looked up at her. He hadn't seen her for a year. He could hardly recognize this niece. What a grievance, the originally withered and thin face has become white and tender, much better than before.

"My father is fine." Lin Xue looked at this uncle calmly. He came here to ask about her father's recent situation, right?

"Oh, that's good, that's good." He nodded, looked at her, took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, put it on the kang, opened it, it was a piece of red paper, and pushed it in front of her, "Xueman, I know that your aunt and your sister came to see you a few days ago, if they said something unpleasant, don't worry about it, they don't have any malicious intentions, this is the letter of employment that the Xiao family gave Xuechuan back then , I brought it to you, from now on, you can live your life with peace of mind, and they won't bother you again."

Mrs. Yang was sitting in the kitchen burning a fire. Hearing what Lin Youquan said, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, this is not bad. My daughter is getting married!

"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Xueman looked at the letter of appointment, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart, presumably Lin Youquan secretly took out the letter of appointment from home!

Lin Xuechuan didn't have the letter of appointment in his hand, so he couldn't make trouble if he wanted to!

The two of them fell silent for a while.

"In-laws, drink some water." Yang came in with a bowl of hot water with a smile on her face. Since she didn't come here to find fault, she was naturally treated politely.

"No need, I'm leaving now!" Lin Youquan hurriedly got off the kang, looked at Mrs. Yang, rubbed his hands, and smiled naively, "I see that Xueman is doing well, so I feel relieved."

"Don't worry about that, Xueman is our family's daughter-in-law, we will naturally treat her well." Yang smiled disapprovingly, "As long as your family doesn't come to your house repeatedly to make trouble, she will live better."

Lin Youquan heard the words.Blushing, he looked at Lin Xueman with some embarrassment: "Xueman, I'm leaving, you should live well with your husband-in-law and be a good wife." Then he turned and walked out.

"I see, don't worry, uncle." Lin Xueman replied lightly, she followed him out and stood at the door.He kept watching his back disappear from sight before returning to the house.

"Unexpectedly, your uncle still has some conscience. Now we don't have to worry about your sister making trouble again." After cleaning the kitchen, Yang picked up the letter of appointment on the kang, looked at it, and it was good.This was exactly the letter of appointment given to the Lin family back then. Looking at the letter of appointment and then at Lin Xueman, she couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing. If it was really that Lin Xuechuan who had passed through the door, the Xiao family would never have had the days they have today... …

Lin Xueman smiled.There was no sound, she knew it in her heart.If Lin Xuechuan makes trouble again, it's nothing serious, it's just a joke at worst.

What she was most worried about was Princess Nalan. This time when Xiao Chengyu went to Beijing, Princess Nalan must have known about it, so the two of them would definitely meet, thinking of this.Lin Xueman's heart was sour, Princess Nalan was the emperor's daughter.Even if Xiao Chengyu is unwilling, if the emperor insists on marrying Princess Nalan to him, I'm afraid that his sacred destiny will be hard to violate...

So, what should I do?

In Changqing Pavilion, there was a slight curl of smoke from the hollow incense burner, and a faint fragrance of mugwort permeated the air, which was refreshing. A maid came over and was about to put some dried mugwort leaves into the incense burner. Nalan Mingzhu stopped: "Don't let it go, if he comes, he will not be used to the smell, the smell of medicine in the room is so strong, it makes people disgusted."

"This..." The servant girl turned her head to look at Nalan Mingzhu, with some hesitation.

"My child, it doesn't matter whether others are used to the smell. The key is that the imperial doctor said that this wormwood is good for your body, so I asked them to put more." Beside the bed, a woman in a costume held her hand. She held her hand, looked at her lovingly, and smiled, "No one has the right to despise my daughter."

Although Concubine Liu Guifei was smiling, her brows revealed a kind of aggressive majesty. There was not a trace of wrinkle on her fat face, her brows were unpainted, her lips were red, and her temples were covered with golden light. The hairpin ring, rich and powerful.

"But mother and concubine, the daughter hates herself." Nalan Mingzhu leaned on the quilt, her face was a little flushed, she looked at her radiant mother weakly, and smiled sadly, "Which woman in the world would be like me, lying in bed all day long?" On the bed..."

"Forget it, let's go!" Concubine Liu Gui waved her hand, rested her forehead and sighed, when she moved, the hairpin rings on her head made a clanging sound, which was as sweet as wind blowing through a bead curtain.

"Yes." The servant girl breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

"Daughter, even if you lie on the bed all day long, Mother will definitely give you everything you want. Don't you just want to see the prefect of Yuzhou? Don't worry, he will come to see you soon." Concubine Liu Gui held her hand The daughter's hands were as soft as bones, and she said with pity, "Even if you want to keep him by your side forever, it's not impossible."

"If his heart is not here, what's the use of keeping someone around?" Nalan Mingzhu said indifferently, "He already has a wife in his family, how could he stay by my side forever? Besides, if he is the kind who abandons his wife and children, I also look down on people who are greedy for glory and wealth."

"Daughter, it's embarrassing for you to say that." Concubine Liu Gui shook her head, "Then what should you do about your affection for him? You are a princess, do you want to serve your husband with other women?"

She looked at the flower tree made of red silk flowers beside the bed, and frowned: "Mother is someone who has been there, so she naturally understands your thoughts, but daughter, since you like him, you don't have to care about his feelings." It's not here with you, as long as others are by your side, all love in the world is based on mutual benefit, why do you expect those illusory so-called heart-to-heart bonds?"

"My daughter has nothing else to ask for in this life. She just hopes for a pure relationship, not the kind that is based on mutual benefits. I don't mind if he has a wife, and it's okay to serve a husband with other women, but if I If the lord of the princess comes to force him, then he will never have the slightest sincerity towards me, and I will use my sincerity to impress him and make him stay by my side willingly." Nalan Mingzhu sat up and took a breath, Then he stretched out his soft and boneless hand, gently stroking the flowering tree beside the bed, and forced a smile, "When I met him for the first time, I felt very kind, and I think it was also a predestined fate in the previous life, since we have this fate , then I am willing to wait and wait until he likes me, just like I like him."

"My child, you are so naive. Born in the emperor's family, how much true love can you get?" Concubine Liu Gui looked at her pitifully, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This year's chanting and incense meeting held in Baohua Temple, mother I can't accompany you, your father wants all the officials to pay homage to His Royal Highness, the harem must be well prepared, the queen never asks about these things, your father will definitely let your mother handle these things again."

"Since mother can't get away, then let Lord Xiao accompany me to Baohua Temple! There is no shortage of him to pay homage to the prince!" Nalan Mingzhu shook her arm and said softly, "Don't let He knows what I mean, so we can get along more comfortably, otherwise, it will be very awkward."

"Okay, then it's up to you, mother will arrange this matter!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
