Linglong

Chapter 98

"Grandmother—" she called grandma with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.

Old Madam Yu saw her tears welling in her eyes, and she obviously held back her tears so she didn't cry out loud. She couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and said angrily, "Why are you crying? If you say something wrong, you should accompany her, shouldn't you? Yes? It's your third younger sister who is magnanimous, and you shouldn't be allowed to accompany her because of sisterhood, so you should thank her." The tone has softened, not as severe as before.

Jingxi heard the meaning of protection in the words of the old lady Yu, and was very grateful. She bent her knees and said with a choked voice: "Grandmother loves her granddaughter, and granddaughter will always be grateful."

The old lady Yu had a loving face, "Grandmother naturally loves her granddaughter, Xiaojia, you, and Linglong are all the same." She waved to Jingxi and Linglong, holding each other, and said earnestly : "You are sisters, you must be harmonious and friendly, you know? Don't be malicious, don't utter bad words, and don't have resentment after arguing, which hurts the sisterhood."

Both Jingxi and Linglong were held by her. Jingxi felt that her grandmother's hand was warm, but Linglong felt that her grandmother's hand was cold.

The old lady Yu ordered Jingxi to apologize a moment ago, and it took a while, so she hoped that Linglong would take the initiative to forgive Jingxi and let the past go.

Jingxi said softly: "Sister San, today I'm a bit harsh, don't take it to heart, okay? We've always been good sisters, and San Sister wouldn't take me seriously if I thought about it. Ruo San There is resentment in the younger sister's heart. Could it be that the love that the third younger sister treats her elder sister is all fake? Besides, if the third younger sister blames me, my grandmother will be sad. The third younger sister is a filial girl, and she will never let my grandmother treat her like an old man Worrying, right?"

The old lady Yu held Jingxi and Linglong's hands tightly at the same time, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry anymore, and grandma will be annoyed if you get angry again! Xiaoxi, Linglong, you two are good children who won't let the elders worry about you, hurry up!" Make up, don't lose your childish temper!"

——What about the promised apology?Linglong was extremely depressed.

The old lady Yu is kind and gentle, her grandparents and grandchildren are already in harmony with each other, if Linglong insists on being obedient at this time, it will appear that Linglong doesn't know what to do.

Old Madam Yu's eyes were earnest, and she looked at Linglong quietly and tenderly, with a somewhat smug look on her face.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, although the smile was shallow, it was a triumphant smile.

Linglong also smiled, letting old lady Yu hold her little hand, and asked innocently: "Grandmother, I was called by my grandfather just now. The old man told me a lot of truth, but I didn't understand it. I was just about to ask you. Grandfather said that no matter what a person does, he must be responsible. Grandma, what is responsibility?"

Old lady Yu was dumbfounded.

What is responsibility?
Linglong looked directly into Old Madam Yu's eyes, her smile was innocent and innocent, but the twitching corners of her lips gradually faded away.

His eyes also darkened.

Old Madam Yu thought for a moment, sighed, and let go of Jingxi and Linglong's hands.

Jingxi felt even worse.

Old Madam Yu said slowly: "Xiaoxi, you are a sister, if you say something wrong, you have to take responsibility yourself, why don't you go to Linglong to accompany you?"

Although the tone is gentle, it is firm, and it is a tone of command.

Jing Xi still wanted to pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, "Grandmother—" Old Madam Yu pursed her lips, and said in a stern tone, "Xiao Xi, hurry up and accompany me!"

Jingxi burst into tears again, and looked at Linglong aggrieved.

Linglong stood there quietly, with a graceful demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

Jingxi gritted her teeth, walked two steps forward, and lowered her head, "Third sister, today I was not careful with my words, said the wrong thing, and offended my sister, can't I accompany my sister?" Knee, counted as an apology.

Linglong returned a salute, and said seriously: "I'm still saying what I said just now, second sister, my father and your father are brothers, you and I are both surnamed Yu, and we can't write two words of metaphor in one stroke. Sisters who are of the same mind benefit each other. Broken gold. Second sister, please be careful in your words and deeds in the future, so as not to embarrass your parents and family."

——Teach Jingxi a lesson in a fair and aboveboard way, and compare it to the old lady who is still righteous.

Where has Jing Xi heard of this?I almost couldn't catch my breath, and my face flushed from holding back.

She wanted to ridicule Linglong, but Linglong's words were too high-sounding, and she was dizzy with anger, unable to think of a rebuttal.

Not to mention her, but old lady Yu felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something about Linglong, but couldn't find the right words for a while.

Linglong had trained Jing Xi, she felt much better, and said goodbye with a smile, "Grandmother, Second Sister, please forgive me for not being with you."

Watching Linglong's figure disappear at the door, Jingxi covered her chest, "Grandmother, Linglong is really annoying..." I was so angry that my chest hurt.

Old Madam Yu was helpless, "Whether it's annoying or not, what she said is right. Xiaoxi, you...you should take it easy."

"Even you helped Linglong!" Jingxi became even angrier, and her chest hurt even more.

Linglong went out and was going to find Mrs. Qiao, when she suddenly remembered something, her big eyes rolled around, and she smiled mischievously.

She called Tang Xiaoming over, and said a few words, "Go, tell my dad exactly."

Tang Xiaoming agreed and walked away quickly.

Linglong found Qiao Shi happily, "Mother, did you pick anything interesting?" Qiao Shi was picking and choosing with Guan Shi, Yu Wenhui, and Jing Jia, and seeing Linglong, she couldn't help laughing, "Daughter, come and see, You really have everything.” There are many exquisite small bottles, jars, and bags on the table, ranging from balm and small mirrors used by girls every day to handkerchiefs and purses, all kinds of small bits and pieces.

Linglong also smiled.

These should be the handwriting of Princess Yongning, it is hard to imagine that the queen would be so idle, so trivial, sending these little things over thousands of miles.

"Wang Xiaosan, your sister should be a very cute little girl." Linglong has not met Princess Yongning yet, and she already has a good impression of her.

Linglong saw a golden utensil, which was small and round, with a grid in the middle divided into two halves. Since she had never seen it before, she picked it up and asked, "Mother, what is this?" Qiao looked at it. , pursed his lips and smiled, "Put the soap on one side and the ointment on the other. After washing your hands and face, you can rub the ointment on it."

Linglong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Ganqing This is a dual-purpose soap box, one side puts soap, and the other side puts hand cream, after washing hands, wipe it on for skin care.

Princess Yongning is probably a person who loves sports, and among the small objects given to Linglong are chuiwan clubs and stone balls.

In the Tang Dynasty, polo was very popular. The game played without riding a horse was called walking ball, which gradually became chuiwan, which is similar to modern golf.This movement originated in the Song Dynasty, became popular in the upper class in the Yuan Dynasty, and became a popular movement in the Ming Dynasty.

"I'm not good at chuiwan, but I can practice it in the future. It's a very elegant way of movement." Linglong picked up the cue and swung it with great interest.

Mrs. Guan hurriedly laughed and said, "Linglong, I heard that all the wives and ladies of Zhenyuan Hou's mansion like to pound balls, and the fourth girl of the Hu family asked Xiaoxi to play with her a while ago! But Xiaoxi is not proficient in this, and she has a good face and is afraid of shame. , so she pushed it off temporarily. But she always wants to go in the future, right? This cue is so exquisite that I might not be able to buy it in the market, Linglong, look...?"

"Give it to Second Sister." Linglong generously agreed without thinking about it.

Guan smiled and thanked.

Qiao frowned slightly, "Long'er, do you like this cue?"

She saw Linglong picking up the cue and swinging it, she liked it very much, so she didn't want to disappoint Linglong.

Linglong giggled, "Ordinary, ordinary."

Seeing that she didn't care, Mrs. Qiao just let it go.

Qiao's dowry is generous, and she has always paid little attention to money and things. If it wasn't for Linglong's liking, she wouldn't care about these details.

Yu Wenhui didn't pay attention to these bottles and jars, and pulled Linglong over to discuss in a low voice, "Linglong, Auntie thought about it carefully, but I still don't feel at ease. When you write back, please mention your cousin, okay? Auntie is worried that she will be here alone. No one is looking after the capital."

Without thinking, Linglong said, "Okay, what's wrong with that? But, auntie, grandfather said that the old man has to read every word I write before sending it out." Pushing Old Master Yu away.

When Yu Wenhui heard that the old man wanted to take a look, he waved his hands in panic, "Then, don't mention it, don't mention it!"

The fact that she secretly sent Su Shengchun to the draft is not only displeased by the two elders of the Su family, but also the old man Yu, who still doesn't want to see her and Su Youting today, how dare she make the old man unhappy at this time, because she thinks life is too leisurely Yes, are you looking for training?

"The old man is here." The little girl's crisp voice sounded from the yard.

Old Mrs. Yu seldom went back to the inner house even at night, and it was very rare to come back during the day. Everyone felt a little strange, and Yu Wenhui wanted to hide even more. Just tell me I have something to do."

Mrs. Yu went to the main room and said a few words to Mrs. Yu, and then left quickly.

After he left, Old Madam Yu ordered the girl to call everyone.

She looked helpless, "The old man said that this imperial gift has something to say, and you can't give it away at will. It shows disrespect to your majesty and the queen. Let Linglong keep the things that the queen gave to Linglong, and don't spread them indiscriminately." .”

Guan and the others were dumbfounded.

Qiao, who has never cared about property, feels a little comfortable in her heart, "Long'er is too considerate of others, she is smiling while holding a cue, and her younger brother and sister want to give it to Xiaoxi, but she agrees just because of affection." .Actually, she still likes it, right? It’s okay to keep all of it, but no matter how much money I have, I can’t buy it for Long’er.”

Linglong was confused for a while, and smiled flatteringly, "Grandma, then... can I use those things?"

Seeing her naivety, old lady Yu sighed, and told her gently, "Of course it can be used. However, it is inconvenient to give it away. Linglong, no one in our family is an official in the court, so we should be more cautious in dealing with things. It's a long way."

Linglong nodded half understanding.

"It's embarrassing for me to monopolize so much." Linglong said guiltily.

The old lady Yu was very relieved, "You have always been loose and generous, so grandma doesn't know? But this is a gift from the empress herself. If you give it to someone else, won't it appear that you don't cherish the empress's heart? This is not possible."

Old Madam Yu explained to Linglong several times, and Linglong nodded reluctantly.

Linglong suddenly thought of something, "I promised my aunt just now..." Guan stopped her with a smile before she finished speaking, "Linglong has a heart, aunt accepts your love. Your second sister really wants to go to Zhenyuanhou's mansion to play." , I'll order someone to make a new one for her."

Guan smiled reluctantly.

Old Madam Yu called Yu Wenhui, "Hui'er, go back, be diligent and careful in the Su family, don't make any trouble again. Your father said..." In front of so many people, she couldn't bear to lose Yu Wenhui's face after all. , ordered her to come closer, and said in a very small voice: "Your father said, if you dare to make mistakes again, he can't control you as a married daughter, but he can never allow you to return to your mother's house."

Yu Wenhui turned pale with shock.

If the old master doesn't let her go back to her natal family, how can she gain a foothold in the Su family?Not to mention that the elders of the Su family, sisters-in-law and others will look down on her, even Su Youting, who has always been in love with her, may not change his face.

A woman without a natal family is probably duckweed, who would see it?
"Mother, I'll be good from now on. You beg father for me." Yu Wenhui begged in a low voice.

Old Madam Yu naturally couldn't bear to refuse, "Mother will definitely help you. Huier, you have to be careful and don't act recklessly, remember?"

Yu Wenhui nodded repeatedly.

The old lady Yu ordered her to bring back two baskets of fresh fruit, "Your father said, it's okay." Yu Wenhui was terrified by the sentence that she was not allowed to go back to her mother's house, and no matter what she heard, she agreed sincerely, "Yes, yes ,I remember."
