Linglong

Chapter 39

This is a wing room in the lilac garden, decorated elegantly and cleanly.Linglong looked into the room and saw four or five maids there, so she called the two elders and said, "Go and tell my mother, just say that I'm tired from playing, take a nap in the lilac garden, and bother her to take a nap." Give me two new handkerchiefs." The two maids looked at Linglong's face with pink eyes, clear eyes, and lively expressions, and they smiled and agreed, "Yes, Miss Cousin." They went to ask Mrs. Qiao for new handkerchiefs.

The remaining three maids were slightly younger, Linglong ordered them to watch outside, "I tell you to come in again." The maid agreed, prepared the tea and retreated to the outside.

Linglong looked at Xu Chuanjie affectionately, and raised her eyebrows mischievously, "Sister Xu, I'm idle anyway, let's talk privately, shall we? Sister Xu, you nod, is this a promise to me? I love nonsense, Sister Xu Will you dislike me? Really? Hee hee, then I will take it seriously."

When Linglong Xuxu talked about how naughty she was at home, Xu Chuanjie smiled and listened, feeling quite funny.

Although the Yu family's father and ancestors did not go into official positions, this exquisite little girl was really spoiled and raised, so uncomfortable.

"My family is very good, and my uncle's family is also very good, but unfortunately my aunt's family is not so good." Linglong sighed like an adult, "My two cousins ​​in the Song family are quite pitiful. There are many things, and I am very troubled. Once I said that I sympathized with the first cousin and the second cousin. The first cousin told me very seriously that if he gets married in the future, he will be like my uncle and my father. , won’t learn from Uncle Song’s family. Sister Xu, I feel even more pitiful for him, thinking so far at such a young age.”

Xu Chuanjie felt it was even more funny, "You are only young, okay, and you are still talking about others."

Linglong giggled, "I'm not young. Sister Xu, I passed my tenth birthday last winter, so I'm a big girl."

Xu Chuanjie smiled, "It will take another five years. When you pass your 15th birthday and have passed the ceremony, you will really be a big girl."

"En." Linglong nodded obediently.

Xu Chuanjie fell silent, staring out the window in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.Linglong was very sensible, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and didn't disturb her.

"Little sister, tell me, if someone like your aunt meets Yan Yunqing in the future, wouldn't it be sitting behind closed doors, and the disaster will come from the sky." Xu Chuanjie said quietly: "Oh, as women, we are helpless. Too much."

Linglong opened her eyes in surprise, "As a man, there are also many helplessness. Sister Xu, if it were me, I would not sit at home and wait. I will visit Yan Yunqing in person, sincerely Tell her that her father, Mr. Yan, has been upright all his life, and I can't let her take the concubine and shame the late Lord Yan. I will give up the seat in the main room, and fulfill the infatuation between her and the second son of the Song family."

Xu Chuanjie had never thought about it this way before. Hearing Linglong's words, he couldn't help being stunned, and said, "It's a blessing if Yan Yunqing can be forced away like this; but if it happens by accident, wouldn't it be a big disadvantage?"

"How could it be true?" Linglong smiled disdainfully, "Yan Yunqing is relying on nothing but a good reputation. She really forced the wife of her former fiancé, who has no engagement, to ask her to come down. Is it possible to have a good reputation? I'm afraid she It would be discredited."

The so-called good reputation in China is often associated with patience and sacrifice. Once someone becomes a vested interest, it has little to do with a good reputation.If Yan Yunqing really dared to accept Qiao Sirou's position as the main wife, she would be outraged by everyone, there is no doubt about it.At that time, the scholars who originally supported her would probably chant together, "Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before usurping. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows if the truth will be true in his life?" Yan Yunqing was reprimanded as a hypocrite.No, false lady.

It is impossible for the Song family to agree.No matter how old He Qinghou and Mrs. Tai liked Yan Yunqing, it was impossible not to worry about Song Changqing and Song Changchun's two grandsons. Besides, there was still the Qiao family.The brother-in-law's family wants to take a second room. As an uncle, it may not be convenient for him to talk too much. If the brother-in-law and younger sister are separated and married separately, it will be a big deal, who can bear it.

"But..." Xu Chuanjie looked hesitant.

Linglong seemed to be able to predict what she was going to say, raised her small hand to stop her, and said old-fashionedly: "Don't mention the old saying about E Huang Nvying. Even E Huang Nvying, one is for the front and the other is for the side. The principle of wives. "Biography of Lie Nv" records, "Ehuang is the queen, and the female hero is the concubine." Sister Xu, we have always been monogamous and have never changed."

"That's it." Xu Chuanjie couldn't help laughing.

Alas, children speak adults' words, no matter how you look at it, it's fun.

How could you talk about your thoughts with a little sister today?Xu Chuanjie thought about it, and felt incredible.

"My eldest cousin is very handsome." Linglong muttered in a low voice, and after she finished speaking, she peeked at Xu Chuanjie, as if she was afraid that Xu Chuanjie would hit her, turned over, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Xu Chuanjie wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, he was annoyed, angry, and funny.

She sat on the edge of Linglong's bed and thought about things quietly, her face was soft, Linglong took another sneak peek at her, and then, she really fell asleep.

Spring people are prone to sleepiness, not to mention that her tossing and tossing today is really exhausting.

When people are too tired, it is not easy to sleep well, and the blessed Linglong girl is no exception, crystal saliva flows from the corner of her mouth in her sleep.Xu Chuanjie saw it inadvertently, feeling pity in his heart, no matter how spooky she is, she is just a child, with a delicate sleeping appearance, and she is defenseless.

When Linglong woke up, it was already mid-afternoon.When she opened her eyes, Qiao Shi, Qiao Sirou, Zheng Shi and others were all sitting in front of the bed, while Qiao Zhijun, Su Shengchun, Jing Jia, and Jing Xi were sitting or standing at a square table in front of the window, coming to her from time to time Take a look.Linglong blinked her eyes, sat up, and giggled, "I can't take it seriously. There are so many guests here, and everyone comes to accompany me. I really can't take it." Seeing that she was as lively as before, Qiao Sirou loved her She smiled, "Silly boy, the guests have already been sent away."

Qiao Shi sat down on the bed with a bag of tears in her eyes, and took Linglong's little hand to look carefully, "Long'er, what's the matter with you? Mother was so scared to death when she heard about it!" Qiao Sirou and Zheng Shi had been hiding it from her just now, After the doctor saw it, he knew that Linglong was fine, so he told her the truth.After all, Su Shengchun, Jingjia, and Jingxi all knew about it, and since they were children, it was inevitable that they would speak up if they were not careful in the future, and they couldn't hide it.

Linglong quickly showed her her little face, "Mother, take a look, isn't it white and pink, and charming?" Then she stretched out her hand to show her, "Is it still as white and slender as before, with no hair hurt?" Seeing that Qiao's face was still worried, he smiled and said: "How about you let aunt and aunt go out, and I'll let you take a look at me naked, is that okay?" She looked playful, Qiao Sirou and Zheng Shi were still worried Concerned, she also amused her, and even Joe showed a smiling face.

If a person has something to do or nothing to do, even if he just says it is not enough, he can see it with a wide eye.Linglong has a good complexion and bright eyes, which cannot be pretended.

Su Shengchun hurried over to look at Linglong, "Cousin, it's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't be like this." Of course she remembered that Linglong offended Qin Shiming because she wanted to vent her anger for herself, and she felt very sorry for causing this disaster.Linglong smiled, "That's not the case, cousin, some people are very strange and like to cause trouble, there's no way around it." She comforted Su Shengchun a few words.

Qiao Zhijun was very angry, "Little cousin, although Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wu didn't say how to deal with Qin Shiming, they apologized repeatedly and said a lot of good things. In my opinion, this Qin Shiming did not end well!"

She was originally interested in being the little master of Qiao's family, but Qin Shiming interrupted the fun in Lilac Garden, and she really hated Qin Shiming in her heart.Of course, her little cousin was in danger at her grandfather's house, which made her both distressed and embarrassed.

"Yes, she didn't end well!" Su Shengchun strongly agreed.

Jingjia had calmed down at this time, and as usual, she refused to open her mouth easily.Jingxi Wen said: "Although Mrs. Wen is not easy to deal with, she will always write to the Qin family, right? The Qin family is not easy to let their girls go, there must be an explanation."

Linglong smiled indifferently, "Let her go. I guess we will never see this person again."

It is impossible for Zhenyuanhou Mansion to keep Qin Shiming in Shuntian Mansion, even if she really stays in Shuntian Mansion, it is impossible to bring her out again.We won't see her again.Since she can't see it, what will happen to her.It is conceivable that Qin Shiming will not benefit.She can't get away with a vicious reputation. With this reputation, Miss Qin Shiming's future is not bright.However, that was her own business, Linglong didn't care.

Linglong took a moment to hold her aunt for a while to whisper, picking up the most important conversations between herself and Xu Chuanjie.Qiao Sirou was stunned for a long time, "Little sister, how did you raise the child? Long'er, why are you so smart?" Linglong could not close her mouth from ear to ear, "Where is it? I just did what I should do. My aunt appreciates it. Congratulations." He said modest words, but his eyebrows were already beaming.

Because of the shock, Linglong received meticulous care and endless greetings in Qiao's Lane. After returning to Yu's house, she was cared for by her parents, elder brother, grandparents, uncles and aunts for several days. Come to have infinite pity-this is a later story.

After midnight, the Yu family was silent.

The Yu family doesn't make friends with officialdom, and they seldom have other entertainments. After nightfall, the lights are all extinguished.On the Qingzhuanyong Road, there are only occasional night watchmen and women passing by with lanterns.

Uncle Yu's study room was quiet and deserted, with no lights.In the middle of the night, a man in black jumped down from the house, opened the window, and entered the house lightly.

The man in black was not only wearing night clothes, but also covered his face with a black veil.After entering the room, he looked around alertly, and seeing that there was really no one here, he lit up the torch and lowered his head to search for something on the desk.

He searched and searched but couldn't find what he was looking for, so he was a little restless.

"Hey, how come there is light in the study?" The guard who watched the night passed by here, and vaguely saw a light coming from the study, he couldn't help being surprised.

This is the uncle's study, he is resting in the inner house tonight, there shouldn't be anyone at this time.

The two servants who were watching the night slowly approached the study.
