Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 406 Meeting (2)
After taking a comfortable bath, Lin Xiaoqiao climbed onto the bed again and had a good sleep.

At this time, Widow Zheng was in the front hall, talking to Steward Hai, mainly to care about Chen Xuewen's situation in the capital over the past year, to ask about his son's daily life and diet, and to care about his daily general situation.

Housekeeper Hai stood respectfully. Whatever Widow Zheng asked in the room, he would answer in every possible way, and he didn't deliberately hide anything. Therefore, in just half an hour, Widow Zheng described her son's life in the capital. Situation, I have a general understanding of it.

It didn't seem to be a big deal, and everything was normal, so Widow Zheng put aside the topic for the time being, and asked about her natal family's situation instead.

Faced with Widow Zheng's question, Steward Hai babbled a lot, counting every master of the Zheng family, and they all said nice words, but couldn't hear anything. At the end, he only smiled and said: "When the old slave didn't follow the young master, he often heard that the old lady thought about you day and night, and almost every day he would talk about your wife several times. Later, I told you I left the young master, and every time I followed him to Zheng's mansion, the old lady would pull the young master to tell him something about you, madam, and when he listened to it, he always felt sad! This time the madam entered the capital, The young master did not dare to reveal the news earlier, because he was afraid that the old lady would find out, and she would be anxiously looking forward to it every day! Why not, why not take Miss Lin to Zheng's mansion tomorrow? , the old lady will be very happy to see you!"

Widow Zheng felt a little melancholy when she heard these words, she didn't expect her mother to be so concerned about her as an unfilial daughter.

Steward Hai took a careful look at his wife's face, and when he saw a look of sadness in her face, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

He is the son of Zheng's family, and he has been working in Zheng's family since he was a child. He also knows about the old things back then. Now, seeing this mother and daughter abuse their hearts like this, he can only sigh , things are impermanent.

"Ma'am, don't be overly sad. The old lady will definitely understand the last resort in your heart. Take advantage of this time to go to Beijing, to accompany the old lady well, and make her happy." Steward Hai tentatively comforted his wife , then remembered something, and said happily, "Not only Madam, but also Ms. Lin, the old lady will be very happy to see her. Ever since the old lady heard that the young master was engaged, she always Talking about it, saying that he wanted to see the young master's daughter-in-law."

Widow Zheng picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, hesitated for a moment, looked at Steward Hai's face, and said tentatively: "Speaking of this, I would like to ask, Uncle Hai thinks that the old lady is not interested in learning literature. What is the attitude of this marriage?"

Hearing this, Steward Hai thought it over quickly, and then replied with a smile: "I don't know very well, but I seem to be very happy to hear about it."

As soon as Widow Zheng heard this, she knew it was a perfunctory word, and she also knew that she couldn't find anything from Steward Hai, so she waved her hand and told him to retreat.

When Steward Hai turned around, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ma'am, don't worry too much, this old servant is watching, Miss Lin is generous and bright, and her behavior is also very good. You can tell at a glance that it was taught by you, Ma'am." , presumably the old lady will like it!"

Widow Zheng supported her head with her left hand. After hearing this, she didn't say anything. Seeing this, Steward Hai retreated consciously, thinking in her heart whether she should report a letter to Zheng's residence.

In the afternoon, when Chen Xuewen returned to the mansion, he had just set foot in the door when a servant came to report that his wife and the young ladies and young masters of the Lin family had arrived.

After getting the news, Chen Xuewen quickened his pace and hurried to the backyard, not forgetting to ask the servants all the way if they are well settled, Mrs. Lin and the young lady and master of the Lin family.

The servant reported the truth one by one, saying that everything was done according to the young master's instructions. Chen Xuewen nodded after hearing this, and then unconsciously quickened his pace. He heard that his mother was with Lin Xiaoqiao at this time. In the front hall, go straight to the front hall.

When he walked to the door, he saw that girl was chatting and laughing with her mother, very happy, and there were three little maids standing beside her.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuewen couldn't help but tinge with a smile on his expressionless face, and he walked in with a heavier footstep on purpose.

Widow Zheng and Lin Xiaoqiao, listening to the commotion, raised their heads to see him, and they both showed smiles, "Xuewen, you're back! Come here, sit down and have a rest!" The usual plain words were not at all serious. He couldn't hear the excitement of reuniting with his mother after a long absence, but Chen Xuewen felt very comfortable and familiar with it.

I just didn't expect that the little girl who liked to jump up and down in front of me two years ago, saw me this time, but she seemed much more peaceful, and it seemed that she had really grown up.

Today's Lin Xiaoqiao is wearing a light blue dress, with black soft hair tied up in a flying fairy bun, with only a pair of butterfly hairpins inserted in his hair, and a pair of purple jade gourds dangling from his ears. , Looking at the delicate features, elegant and refined.

On the pink and delicate face, there is already a girl's graceful breath. At this moment, although she is sitting, she can still see her slim figure. At this time, Lin Xiaoqiao is holding her chin with one hand , with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, blinking eyes, looking at Chen Xuewen who came in from outside the house.

Just now, when he just stepped into the room, Chen Xuewen didn't miss the flash of light in the little girl's dark eyes.

Looking at Lin Xiaoqiao like this, Chen Xuewen suddenly felt that his heart was hit violently by something, but it was so comfortable and rippling...

Trying to calm down his emotions, Chen Xuewen sat down and chatted with his mother and Lin Xiaoqiao for a while.

In the evening, he asked the kitchen to tidy up a table of sumptuous dishes, and clean up the dust for Lin Xiaoqiao and others.

After the banquet was over, Chen Xuewen thought that they were exhausted from the journey, so he asked Lin Xiaoqiao and his three brothers and sisters to go back to their rooms and have a good rest. After a long time in Japan, they can talk slowly.

At the same time, I did not forget to tell the two brothers Dalang Erlang to go to bed early at night and not to stay up late reading, so as not to be exhausted.

After the brother and sister Lin Xiaoqiao had sent away, Chen Xuewen personally sent his mother back to the room, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by his mother, "Xuewen, sit here with mother for a while, mother has something to ask." ask you."

Chen Xuewen roughly guessed what his mother was going to ask, "It's getting late today, and my mother has just experienced the fatigue of the journey, so don't think too much tonight, a good rest is serious!"

Widow Zheng didn't cooperate, and said with a smile, "Mother has slept for a while during the day, and she is not sleepy now, so you can talk to your mother for a while."
