The sedan chair was rickety all the way, and Li Xin couldn't lift the curtain of the sedan chair to look outside, so she could only sit quietly.

I don't know how far the sedan chair traveled, but it finally stopped.Before she could do anything, Aunt Fang told her outside that she had arrived at the second gate.After a while, the sedan chair started to move again, and Li Xin really couldn't see the layout of Ling's residence while sitting on the sedan chair.

However, it took a long time for the sedan chair to reach the second gate. Thinking about it, the area of ​​the Ling Mansion is very large.

The sedan chair walked for a while before it really stopped. Aunt Fang lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Li Xin get off the sedan chair.

"Is Cousin here?" Li Xin just got out of the sedan chair, and a pretty maid of seventeen or eighteen came up to meet her.

"It's Miss Haitang! Miss Biao has arrived, but you kept the old lady waiting?" Aunt Fang said with a smile.In the mansion, the old lady is the oldest elder in the family. Although she doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion, her prestige is always there.What's more, the old man is very filial to the old lady, and the people in the house are naturally even more respectful to the old lady.

Even the maids around the old lady are not comparable to those around other people.

"I've met Miss Biao, Miss Biao and the slaves will go to see the old lady together!" Haitang bowed to Li Xin with a light smile on her face, making people look very comfortable.

"Thank you sister for leading the way." Li Xin also responded with a smile.When she came to the Ling family, it didn't matter if the rest of the Ling family saw her, the main reason was to see Mrs. Ling.Thinking of Ling Ziye's expression when he mentioned the old lady, old lady Ling should be a very kind old man!
Aunt Fang stepped back and left, and Li Xin was supported by Haitang to walk all the way inside.Only now did Li Xin see the appearance of the Ling Mansion. It was neither gorgeous nor solemn, but it had a warm feeling, like a real home, not a gorgeous empty house.Walking slowly, you can see that the scenery everywhere is well arranged. Because the capital is built in the southeast, it has the unique architectural style of Jiangnan. Most of the houses in the capital are decorated with small bridges and flowing water. , There is no willow pile of smoke, no lotus full of ponds, so it looks a bit bleak after all.

The eaves and teeth of the house are high, carved beams and painted buildings, blue bricks and tiles, everything is very delicate, and there is some elegance everywhere.Everything is not resplendent, but this does not mean that the ancestral house of the Ling Mansion is really cheap. Most of the beams and the like are made of precious wood, and the furniture is mainly made of mahogany, the main hardwood.

Mrs. Ling's yard is deep in the backyard. Because over the past two years, Mrs. Ling's health is not good and she needs to rest, so she moved the yard.Mrs. Ling has not intervened in the affairs of the backyard for some years, and now the housekeeper is the wife of the Ling family.The courtyard where the old lady lives is really deep, and there are few maids walking around, but the advantage is that it is quiet and elegant, and it is also suitable for recuperating.

Li Xin just entered the courtyard where Mrs. Ling lived, and someone reported inside.The courtyard is a courtyard, but it is a two-story attic, which is different from the courtyard in the north.There is a corridor in the yard, and you can walk along the corridor.If it rains, it is more convenient to have a corridor to walk around.

Just entering the yard, in front of you is a large screen, a shelf of huanghuali, with large pieces of white marble on it. There are naturally formed landscape patterns on the white marble, which looks very beautiful.White marble is not very rare, but it is still rare to have such a beautiful natural pattern.

Standing such a large screen blocked the line of sight.After bypassing the screen, I saw the scene in the yard.The courtyard area is still very large and looks very open.

Flowers and trees are planted in the yard, which still looks very beautiful in this season.There are also a lot of potted chrysanthemums, with various colors and various flower postures, which is a scene of colorful flowers.

Out of the Chaoshou corridor sat several maidservants dressed in red and green. They were of different ages, some were in their youth, and some were just like flowers.Some are frolicking, and some are doing needlework quietly, showing a very warm feeling.This feeling seems to be just right, neither too loud nor too silent.

"You guys! Haven't all come here to see Miss Biao." Haitang said with a smile.Those maids all came over to salute, they were all good-looking people!It seems that ordinary people are really not qualified to be a maid in a wealthy family!Thinking of this, Li Xin smiled a little.

"Sisters, don't be too polite."

"Miss Biao is too polite, please come inside! The old lady has been waiting for you!" Someone came forward with a smile and opened the curtain, allowing Li Xin to walk in.

After entering the inner room, Li Xin noticed the faint smell of medicine. The smell of traditional Chinese medicine is still mild.It doesn't smell bad, it's a relatively unique medicinal fragrance!It seems that Mrs. Ling is really sick, probably because she drank too much medicine!This inner room has the smell of medicine.In comparison, in such a mansion, it is impossible for the servants to boil medicine directly in the master's room.

Just drinking the medicine can make the room smell of medicine, it must be because the medicine has been taken for a long time.

"Son, come quickly." A woman in her thirties was sitting on the edge of the bed in the inner room, she was very luxuriously dressed, and she looked dignified.Dressed like this, he should be the serious master of the mansion. Judging by his age, this person is probably the wife of Grand Master Ling, and Ling Ziye's mother, Wang Shi.

Li Xin walked over, and there was an old woman in her fifties lying on the bed, she must be Mrs. Ling.Li Xin thought that what she saw would be a white-haired old man!Unexpectedly, she was wrong.

"My poor child, I'm finally back." The young woman took Li Xin's hand, rubbed it lightly, and looked Li Xin up and down with a smile. "It's really similar to my sister! Good boy, come and meet your grandmother."

"Hello, Auntie." Li Xin bowed and saluted.She had lived in Sun's family before, and she knew a little about the etiquette of these wealthy families.Moreover, on the way here, Aunt Fang specially taught her for a long time.That being the case, she can't be too ashamed.

"Good boy."

After saluting to Mrs. Wang, Li Xin carefully observed the people on the bed.The people on the couch are awake now, but they look very weak.The body is also very thin, skin covered the bones, and there is not much flesh in the whole body. It seems that the time of illness is really not short.It's just that I don't know what the disease is. As long as it is not terminally ill, it can be recuperated, and there is a possibility of recovery.

"It's Xinyao! My poor child!" Mrs. Ling struggled to reach out and hold Li Xin's hand, with tears streaming from her cloudy eyes.

"Grandmother." Li Xin called out.For a moment, she really didn't know what to say. This moment reminded her of many things.In her previous life, the days she lived with her grandparents were really her happiest days.In front of those who love and care about themselves, they can be coquettish, self-willed, and even make trouble for no reason.

Because people who really care about you, no matter what you are, will always spoil you, love you, and tolerate you.

Thinking of those days when grandma was lingering on the sick bed for the last time, she also shed tears.She watched her grandma's life go by little by little, but she was still unable to do anything. Such a sense of helplessness really made her hate herself.There was nothing she could do but cry.

If possible, she really wanted to share some of her life with her grandma, but unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking after thinking about it.There is no way to pass on the life span, and grandma will never come back to life.

At that time, my grandmother was also very thin due to the pain, and my grandmother's hand had almost no strength, but she was struggling like that, holding her hand tightly, with such reluctance and worry.She knew that her grandfather had passed away, and her grandmother was her last relative.After that, she was alone, and no one would love her any more.

At that time, she had no job and no home to return to. This must be the worry of grandma!Grandma couldn't speak anymore, she just looked at her quietly like that, as if she wanted to completely engrave her appearance and engrave it in her heart.

"Poor child, you are finally back. After all, my poor Qingyao still has a bit of flesh and blood like you." Mrs. Ling held Li Xin's hand and burst into tears.

"Mother, don't be too sad. Now that Xinyao has found her, you should be happy. Even if Qingyao's sister Quanxia knows, she should be at ease." Wang Shi persuaded.

"Yes, yes, Xinyao should be happy to be back." Mrs. Ling wiped away her tears as she spoke, but the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what, it seemed that she wiped more and more.

"That's right! Xinyao is back, so don't be sad, grandma." Li Xin smiled, took her handkerchief and gently wiped it for Madam Ling.Looking at the old man in front of her, she felt a little more admiration in her heart.Grandmother used to be so rare to her, but since then, no one will love her that much again.

The so-called parents have also looked for her many times and wanted to take her back, but that feeling really made her feel very strange.Is that really her blood relative?But why can't she feel it!
Or, since her grandparents passed away, her family ties have dried up.She will never be so attached to someone again, never again, because no one can make her so attached.

Madam Ling was tired after crying for a while, so Li Xin helped her fall asleep.Seeing Mrs. Ling fell asleep, Wang ordered her servant girl to take good care of her, while she took Li Xin out.

After leaving Mrs. Ling's courtyard, Mrs. Wang took Li Xin all the way to the main courtyard.
