Linglong

Chapter 58

Returning to Yu's house from the Marquis of Chongshan, Linglong naturally went to see her grandmother, Mrs. Yu first.Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Guan, Jing Jia, and Mrs. Jing Xi were all sitting in the room. Seeing Linglong come back, Mrs. Qiao laughed and joked, "What good thing did our third lady bring back?" Mrs. Guan also laughed and said, "It must be For those who have received the meeting gift, the Marquis of Chongshan must have done a great job."

Jingjia was not in such a good mood, a bit of stubbornness flashed in Jingxi's eyes, and she smiled and said: "Third sister, take it out and let us open our eyes, okay?" Her tone was relaxed, as if she was joking with Linglong.

Old Madam Yu gave Jing Xi an appreciative look.

She knows Jingxi's thoughts, so Jingxi's words and deeds are very rare in her eyes: she is about the same age as her cousin, only a girl of eleven or twelve, she is obviously unhappy that her cousin can go to the Hou's mansion but she can't. Yes, but he could not show it on the surface, and he still spoke so decently.Xiaoxi, it's rare.

Linglong ordered the maid to take out the box containing the pair of old glass bracelets filled with green, and said with a smile: "The ones from Bagan are of high quality. Mrs. Chang said they fit me well, so she gave them to me."

Qiao Shi glanced at it, and said softly: "This size is really suitable for you, your arms are thin."

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Guan saw that the watery and transparent bracelet was obviously two times thinner than the bracelets worn by ordinary people, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the Chongshan Hou Mansion is really a wealthy family. This kind of bracelet is only eleven or twelve years old. Only little girls can wear it, and if it is bigger, it will not be able to be put on."

This kind of old pit glass, which is as pure as colored glaze and without a trace of variegation, is rare. It would be fine to make bracelets for adults, but if it is made for little girls, it can only be worn for three or two years before it is shelved.People who are not wealthy, or who spoil children, cannot do this kind of thing.

The little girl is naturally interested in beautiful jewelry. Not only did Jingxi take a few glances, but even the always calm Jingjia also tutted, "The texture is delicate and pure, without blemishes, and the color is pure and even, so beautiful."

Jealousy flashed across Jingxi's eyes, how keen Linglong was, she could see them all naturally.

Linglong smiled and held the box to the old lady Yu, with a naive expression on her face, "When I was a child, I read in the book that it is a virtue for Kong Rong to give pears. Brothers and sisters should be humble to each other. Grandma, I went out to play for a long time. Since I got the benefits, I will give this pair of bracelets to the eldest sister and the second sister respectively, it is my wish as a younger sister."

Linglong thought very clearly.In this family, there are six women in three generations: old, middle, and junior. Linglong and Qiao's mother and daughter belong to one camp, and old lady Yu and Guan, Jingjia, and Jingxi belong to another camp.Mrs. Yu loves all three granddaughters, but she prefers Jingjia and Jingxi. The mother and daughter of Guan's mother and daughter can't match the hardware and software of the big house, so jealousy is inevitable in their hearts.This is in ancient times, when big families lived, it was impossible to have a complete inequality between the rich and the poor, and humility in small things could at least bring about a short-term peace.

"Long'er is really friendly and loves her sister." Qiao praised with crooked eyebrows.

She has never been short of money, so she doesn't pay attention to money.Even if the things Linglong sent out were quite precious, she didn't feel bad.

Mrs. Yu didn't expect Linglong to be like this, and she looked at Linglong unexpectedly, "My third girl is not stingy, she is very good at giving in to her sister." Mrs. Guan declined with a smile, "How can it be? Madam Chang gave Linglong a meeting gift. There’s no reason why this older sister can’t be divided completely.” Jing Jia and Jing Xi also waved their hands together, saying that they couldn’t take their younger sister’s beloved.

Linglong looked at the box in her hand in embarrassment, "Elder sister and second sister don't want it, then..." hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Guan said with a smile: "Linglong wants to give it to her sister wholeheartedly. If she doesn't want both sisters, her kindness will be buried. Otherwise, how about this pair of bracelets, one small and one Linglong? Xiaojia is the elder sister , she is two years older than my sister, and it seems that I will not be able to wear it."

Jingjia nodded gracefully, "Mother said so."

However, she looked at the box in Linglong's hand, with regret in her eyes.

Jing Jia, who has always been reserved and dignified, also loves beauty and beautiful jewelry.

Linglong Yanran said, "Eldest sister is about to be unable to wear it, it's not that she can't wear it anymore, right? How about this, the eldest sister wears one, the second sister wears one, and when the eldest sister really can't wear it, I will Wear it again, okay?" Holding the box in front of Old Madam Yu, she smiled.

Old Madam Yu said in her heart, "My third girl is a generous child and treats my sisters very well." Taking the box, she praised Linglong a few words, and ordered Jingjia and Jingxi to take one together, "Don't blow your third sister's hair." Good intentions." Jingjia and Jingxi felt embarrassed together at the moment, "If there were three, we would not be polite to the third sister, but there are only two, and we took it, but the third sister didn't, what does it look like? .”

Linglong smiled and pointed to the box, "Although there are only two bracelets, there is still a box. I want the box! Big sister and second sister, look, this box is also very beautiful!" After Linglong said this, Jingxi noticed This jewelry box is different, dark purple, heavy wood, shining like satin.Just by looking at the box, you can tell that it is worth a lot.

"Excellent, the distribution is even." Old Madam Yu said cheerfully.

Jing Jia and Jing Xi gave in a few more words, and seeing Linglong's insistence, they accepted it.Both of them put on the bracelets, each with a touch of emerald green on their white and slender wrists, bright and rich, pleasing to the eye.

Old Madam Yu saw that Linglong was more pleasing to the eye than before, and felt that the child was finally not spoiled by Shi Shilang and his wife, and was still very sensible, which was gratifying.Seeing the satisfaction in the eyes of her Xiaojia and Xiaoxi, Guan Shi, how can a mother be unhappy?He is very kind to Linglong.

Linglong was quite satisfied with this situation.

Jing Jia just smiled and thanked Linglong, but Jing Xi thought about it, "Third sister, this year, my mother made a moon dress for me. Hua. The Yuehua skirt is already too small for me, but the third sister wears it just right. I will order someone to send it to me later, and the third sister should not dislike it."

Linglong couldn't help being a little angry.

You look like "you gave me, I also gave you, we owe nothing", but what did I give you, and what did you give me?
Old Madam Yu has always liked Jing Xi the most, seeing how Jing Xi looked and how pleasing she was, she praised with a smile, "Linglong is a good sister, and Xiao Xi is also a good sister."

Linglong smiled faintly, "Thank you, Second Sister, for your generosity."

Not much to say.

Mrs. Qiao was very proud of Linglong's words and deeds of "Kong Rong gave pears". In the evening, Uncle Yu and Yu Changyu came over to have dinner together. Before they sat down at the dinner table, Mrs. Qiao happily said, "... Isn't your son very generous, humble, and cute?" He looked at them happily, with attentive eyes.

Uncle Yu smiled, "My daughter is naturally cute." Touching Linglong's head, Wen Yan praised her a few words, and said, "Daughter, you like the sapphire arm rest in Daddy's study, don't you? Daddy gave it to you .”

The sapphire arm resting on the jade is warm and moist, with several stalks of green bamboo carved on it, it is very artistic and a good thing.

Yu Chang was very generous, "Brother just got a piece of Huizhou ink, 'as dark as paint, as light as clouds, as clear as water, as muddy as haze', and has a strong fragrance, sister, you must like it. Big brother will give you half."

Yu Yan said: "Sister, second brother will play with you, even if you are naughty, second brother will not scold you."

Qiao is the most generous, "My dear daughter, there is a piece of high-quality suet jade here. It is white and delicate with a touch of pink, just like the skin of a beauty. Because this piece of jade is so rare, my mother has never thought about it. What do you want to carve. Mother will order someone to go to Suzhou to invite a well-known jade craftsman, daughter, you will have a high-quality mutton fat jade bracelet, which can only be worn by you, and can only be worn for one or two years."

Linglong felt warm in her heart.

The little bit of anger in my heart disappeared completely.

Care what those do?The warmth and warmth in front of me are the most precious.

That night, Wang Xiaosan's reply letter was quietly placed on the Linglong table.Linglong opened it and looked, it was Wang Xiaosan's handwriting, but the handwriting was not the same as usual, a little scribbled, "I ordered someone to hang a small bell in the tent, and when I have nothing to do, I will dial it twice to listen to the sound. Little Bell, I'm not as violent every day as you are. This is demeanor, understand?"

Linglong scoffed.Wang Xiaosan, Wang Xiaosan, you are too ignorant of self-knowledge, is it because you are worthy of the word demeanor?Bah, I was almost taken to Nuergan Dusi by you!
Wang Xiaosan's letter did not mention his injuries.Linglong thought for a while, and felt that Wang Xiaosan was young and powerful, maybe he felt that the injury meant that he was not good enough, and it was a shame, so he didn't ask any more.

"What a knowledgeable person I am." Linglong thought complacently: "If people don't mention it, I won't ask. I will never go after people who don't want to say."

She really wanted to brag to Wang Xiaosan about this matter.But several times when I picked up the pen, I felt that there was no way to describe my emotions reasonably and vividly, so I had to give up resentfully.

There is no way to brag about this matter to Wang Xiaosan, and it is impossible to brag about it to others: no one in the family knows about the correspondence between her and Wang Xiaosan, even her parents and elder brother keep it a secret, so who can she tell her heartfelt thoughts? ?nobody.

"I have no inspiration. Wang Xiaosan, what do you think is going on here?" Linglong lived a comfortable life without any sense of crisis, and didn't want to put in effort to write chapter novels, so she dealt with Wang Xiaosan like this.

The letter was handed over to Tang Xiaoming, and the reply soon arrived on Linglong's desk, with only a concise sentence: "Little Lingdang, the reason you have no inspiration is because I didn't hold a sword around your neck."

"Wang Xiaosan, you really understand me." Linglong looked at it and giggled, "How do you know that I don't have a sense of crisis?"

Linglong smiled for a while, then narrowed her eyes, "Wang Xiaosan, what do you mean... you will put a sword on my neck after you come back? You, you are so unmannered!"

There seemed to be Wang Xiaosan's cold eyes in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help shivering.Wang Xiaosan is not a kind person, he is an arms dealer in ancient times, an arms dealer who has a close relationship with King Zhou!How can arms dealers be kind?
"Third brother, I am thinking and thinking every day." Linglong picked up the pen and wrote in block letters: "I think about you every day, I think about how to make you happy every day, and I think about how to make Zhanghui novels every day." Write."

"I have a lot of heart, but I'm so stupid, I can't think of it after thinking about it. Third brother, I think I will have inspiration when I go out to play a few more times. You can wait for me with peace of mind, okay? Third brother You're the best, you won't be angry with me, right?"

I poured a lot of soup with great effort.
