Chapter 973

89th dragon scale (I)

"... Linglong, I haven't come to see your mother yet."

The man who spoke was about thirty years old, with a beautiful beard and elegant appearance. At this time, he was looking at Linglong who had just been brought back to the house by him with loving eyes. The girl will be thirteen years old this year, just like a flower and bone. Her mother was raised outside the house by a man. She died of illness three months ago, and she became a child without mother's pain. Her father took her back to the house with pity.

Sitting with the man, it was no one else who looked as cold as ice. It was Mrs. Zhuang, the wife of Weizhou Mu Xing Ji.

Mrs. Zhuang raised a son and a daughter for Xing Ji, both of whom are legitimate elders. Her eldest son, Xing Chun, is resourceful and has both literature and martial arts. Her eldest daughter, Xing Xuan, is gentle, gentle and elegant. Compared with these excellent children, the children of other concubines in Xing Ji are much inferior.

In addition, Mrs. Zhuang was born in the Zhuang family of Yiyang, and no one in the prefecture can surpass the mother and son.

Xing Ji also respects his wife very much, but Mrs. Zhuang is jealous. Although she doesn't treat concubines and concubines in the house badly, she doesn't care. Xing Ji has always regarded his legitimate children as his pride, but today he actually brought in a daughter from outside. How can he not make Mrs. Zhuang angry?!

She looked at the girl in front of her coldly. She was thirteen years old. That is to say, shortly after she gave birth to xuanniang, the LORD had a woman outside.

This is really an insult to Mrs. Zhuang.

Linglong stood in the center of the flower hall. In her memory, Xing Ji was the most loving and gentle father in the world. If there was no Mrs. Zhuang, leaving aside Xing Ji's identity, the three of them would actually be very happy and happy outside.

Unfortunately, her mother died of illness. A little girl lived outside. Xing Ji was worried, so he wanted to take her back to her house.

But Mrs. Zhuang didn't welcome her. Her indifference didn't even want to cover up. Xing Ji called Linglong twice. Seeing that she shouldn't, he couldn't help but be humane to Mr. Zhuang: "Linglong is introverted and shy. Please take care of her more in the future."

Linglong thought to herself that you have a big heart. Tell your first wife to take care of your second wife - Oh, no, it's an illegitimate daughter born to you outside the room. Do you really treat women in the world as fools?

It's strange that Mrs. Zhuang will be kind to him!

Other concubines can live safely in the house because Xing Ji has limited love for them, but Linglong's biological mother is different. Although her mother died when she came, she still learned how much her mother was loved by her father from the people around her.

Originally, my father even wanted to carry my mother to the Prefecture as a flat wife. My mother didn't want to. She didn't like to intrigue with others. It was happy to live outside. If she wasn't ill, I think she didn't want to send her daughter to the prefecture pastoral Prefecture.

Mrs. Zhuang was still expressionless. She looked at the girls in front of her with harsh eyes. She often looked at the children of concubines. The gentlemen were OK. Xing Ji had great ambition and attached great importance to the education of her sons, but most of the girls were raised to be timid and afraid of her legitimate mother. Mrs. Zhuang didn't do anything bad to kill the little girls. After all, her xuanniang hasn't promised others. If the girl in the family has a bad reputation, it will hinder xuanniang.

But this doesn't mean that she can't deal with those common women. Mrs. Zhuang loves Xing Ji deeply. She is very hostile to anyone who has taken away Xing Ji's eyes. It is because of her fierce and overbearing that the concubines in the house become more honest and regular. For fear that Mrs. Zhuang will be touched and annoyed herself. It's not good to involve your children.

Linglong looked at Mrs. Zhuang fearlessly.

Xing Ji didn't seem to be aware of his wife's unhappiness, but said a lot of good things about Linglong, and even said to a pair of legitimate children of Mrs. Zhuang: "Linglong will be your sister in the future. You should love and take care of her, and don't let her suffer any injustice."

Xing Chun and Xing Xuan responded.

Not to mention whether they were sincere or false, Linglong was tired of standing. She spoiled Xing Ji: "father, people have seen it. Can I go and have a rest?"

There was no fear of entering the prefecture for the first time, which was beyond Xing Ji's expectation. He nodded and asked Mrs. Zhuang, "have you finished the new courtyard I asked you to clean up?"

Mrs. Zhuang replied, "return to the Lord, I've taken care of everything. Just wait... Linglong, just live in."

Xing Ji nodded to express his satisfaction. He got up and walked to Linglong himself. He said lovingly, "come with your father."

Linglong followed him.

As soon as the father and daughter left, Zhuang Fu gritted his teeth and said, "bullying is too much!"

But she just said that when Xing Jizhen appeared, she would still work hard and be his good wife.

Xing Chun said, "why should mother fight so hard for such a little girl? There are several concubines in the house. Mother is always angry about these. When will she be the head?"

"Brother a is right." Xing Xuan also advised, "now that the outer room is dead, the little girl has entered the house, and her father is busy all year round. How can you take care of her every day? Mother, don't do anything impulsive. You are the master mother of Weizhou. No one can beat you. "

Mrs. Zhuang understood the truth, but how could she be satisfied when she saw that the LORD was so kind to a roommate? Xuanniang is his eldest daughter. He just hugged her when she was full moon. Why is she so good to an outer roommate?

But Linglong followed Xing Ji to his yard. It was really clean, but the space was open and there was nothing. His mother was born after she met his father. Before she met his father, her mother fled alone. Because her face was too beautiful, she often needed to hide her true face. If her father hadn't saved her, she didn't know what kind of danger she would encounter. Therefore, everything of their mother and daughter was given by their father. In exquisite memory, the mother often looked at the door sadly, as if waiting for someone.

Every time her father came, she was always happy, but the happiness was always short-lived, because Xing Ji would go back soon. She would rather be an outside room than a concubine. No one knew what she was thinking.

"Look what's missing. Tell your father that your father asked someone to bring it to you." Xing Ji said fondly.

Linglong was really rude. She strolled around and came out with pink lips: "everything is missing, because there is nothing."

Xing Ji also knew Mrs. Zhuang's problems. He thought it was jealousy again. He said in a warm voice, "then go to the private library with your father and see what you like. Would you like to bring it?"

She was immediately happy. Her smile was as beautiful as the morning glow. Even the well-trained Weizhou soldiers couldn't help shaking their eyes.

Linglong happily followed Xing Ji to his private library and impolitely picked up a lot of treasures. Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that she almost fainted!

She had long noticed that the LORD had raised a woman outside and wanted to find out the identity of the woman. It was a pity that the Lord protected people like eyes and didn't give her people the opportunity to investigate. It was not easy until the woman died, but the LORD brought the roommate into the house again. If it was spread, would you like to be a man? What do people think of xuanniang? Xuanniang's marriage has not been decided yet!

The outer roommate and the concubine are very different. The outer roommate's status is low and humble. Mrs. Zhuang really doesn't understand. What kind of soul medicine did the outer room give the Lord to take home after her death.

Xing Ji couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know that the little girl had such ability. He strolled around his private library and asked her to get the most valuable! And she obviously prefers those that are expensive and look shiny. It's not too much to put it down.

Then he sent Linglong his most trusted person to serve. Mrs. Zhuang was so angry when she learned that! The Lord doesn't look at xuanniang, who is his eldest daughter, but regards that roommate as the apple of his eye. How can there be such a truth in the world? How can the roommate compare with xuanniang?

Xing Chun admonishes her again and again, but Mrs. Zhuang doesn't listen. Xing Xuan is also wronged. She is her father's eldest daughter, but she doesn't get much father's love. Her father focuses more on the cultivation of her sons. If all the sisters are like herself, how can Xing Xuan not be annoyed that the roommate can be favored by her father?

But she was also gentle in nature. Although she was lost and annoyed, she didn't express it.

After settling in Linglong, Xing Ji accompanied her for a while and called Xing Chun to the study. Xing Chun thought his father had something important to tell him, but he asked him to take care of Linglong in the future. Xing Chun was stunned.

Although men have three wives and four concubines, Mrs. Zhuang is his biological mother. Her mother doesn't like the roommate. Xing Chun naturally has a bad impression of Linglong. It's his demeanor not to bully each other. Do you have to take care of each other?

Xing Chun can't help but show an unimaginable look. He is the eldest son of Xing Ji. He has been given high hopes since childhood. Now the world is in chaos, the imperial court is turbulent, the emperor is overhead, various forces are eyeing, and there are sycophants holding power. Just wait for his teacher to become famous, and the world will be inhabited by capable people. Father has great ambition, and so does Xing Chun.

But did my father pay too much attention to this roommate?

Xing Ji didn't say much, but told Xing Chun again and again. Because he was busy all year round, his time in the house was far less than Xing Chun. If Xing Chun didn't take care of it, he was afraid that Linglong would suffer.

"How can Linglong be regarded as your sister? You should make friends with her and come out as a brother." Xing Ji said earnestly, "Linglong is a good child. You won't hate her."

Xing Chun chuckled: "father, it's not an annoying problem. She's a roommate. I'm the eldest son. Even if I'm brother and sister by blood, there's absolutely no reason for me to take care of her. Or does my husband not trust my mother to keep a bowl of water flat? "

Xing Ji glanced at him: "what is your mother's temperament and needs to be said for your father?"

A bowl of water flat? Anyone in the world can, but Mrs. Zhuang can't!

She only recognizes her children. She doesn't care about the life and death of others. It's good if she doesn't fall into the well. Do you expect her to be kind to Linglong?

Xing Chun said, "I'll let xuanniang look at her more. As long as she keeps her nose to the grindstone, she will be able to live in this mansion."

Obviously, Xing Chun is on Mrs. Zhuang's side. He doesn't hate his concubines' younger brothers and sisters, but he won't be so close to them because his mother doesn't like them. Brothers can support each other, and his sister will try her best to find a good family for them, but it is impossible to say that her feelings should be as good as xuanniang.

Xing Ji sighed: "her mother has just died. It is a time of panic. If you are free, remember to advise your mother not to be too harsh. The child is very timid."

"Why didn't the father talk to his mother himself?"

Xing Ji and Mrs. Zhuang respect each other like guests. Xing Ji is willing to give face to his wife, and Mrs. Zhuang naturally won't hit him in the face. Unfortunately, Xing Ji is not a person with deep love and no regrets. Like most men in the world, he doesn't say that he treats women as playthings, doesn't put them in an equal position, and is more careless of love.

But Mrs. Zhuang has been confined to the back house all year round, and her heart is on the Lord, but she can't get a response. Seeing that the Lord's concubine has served one after another, how can she not be jealous?

In particular, this outer room, which has been raised outside for more than ten years, is a great trouble for Mrs. Zhuang! The Lord's protection of the outer room is watertight. Mrs. Zhuang sent people out to investigate for several times and almost found them. Now the woman is dead, but she hasn't even seen each other!

Just look at the exquisite face, you will know how beautiful the dead woman was born. Otherwise, how can the LORD be fascinated by her?

"I told your mother she could hear me?"

Xing Chun is silent. Obviously, he knows his mother's character very well. If he gets rid of the shortcoming of jealousy, Mrs. Zhuang can be said to be the most perfect wife template. She takes care of everything inside and outside in an orderly manner and is intelligent. Only she is unclear about the Lord's affairs. I wish no woman could get close to Xing Ji at the end of the world. However, this is impossible.

Not to mention Xing Ji itself, it is said that now all forces compete against each other, among which there is no marriage. This is how some concubines in the backyard of Xing Ji come. As a man, Xing Chun can understand his father, but as a son, he is dissatisfied with his mother. Originally, her father was not a fan of beauty, but the one she raised outside made Mrs. Zhuang worried.

After all, he was also a brother and sister from the same father. But his father repeatedly told him to treat the roommate well. Isn't that hitting his mother in the face?

Xing Chun said, "my mother is not unreasonable. If my father tells her well, she will understand."

Xing Ji shook his head: "in a word, when I'm not in the house, you can just take care of Linglong. She's still young. Treat her well. She'll feel it and repay you in the future."

Xing Chun can't help laughing. He doesn't want a roommate's reward? But my father said so. How can I refuse to be a son of man“ Father, don't worry, I won't let her suffer. If my mother embarrasses her, I'll help her. "

Xing Ji said positively, "being a father is serious to you. Linglong is very important to being a father. You must treat her well and never let anything happen to her, okay?"

He repeatedly stressed that he wanted Xing Chun to take care of a roommate. Xing Chun was naturally uncomfortable. Apart from anything else, the roommate was a thorn in his mother's eye. He could not let her lose her life at most, but no more.

Therefore, his father's advice seemed sincere, but actually perfunctory. After Xing Ji set out to make a pilgrimage, the whole Weizhou was taken over by childe Chun. He was taught by his father since he was a child and his eldest son. In the future, he was the only heir to the country his father fought down.

As soon as I got busy, my father forgot all his instructions before leaving.

Mrs. Zhuang would not embarrass a little girl who had just lost her mother, but she was not broad-minded. It is common to give a little trip.

The attitude of the wife in charge towards the new girl also represents the attitude of the servants in the house. They don't realize it. Although other girls are concubines, they are also the blood of Weizhou Xing family. Although the LORD says she is a Xing girl, who can guarantee her character as an outsider?

Abuse is not called abuse, that is, the house is always unclean and the food is always cold. If you want something, the house is also pushing and blocking. It looks like small things. It will inevitably annoy people when they touch each other.

In particular, another lunch was late. Although it was not cold when it was delivered, it was not hot. Some meat dishes were not carefully cooked. After it was cold, it smelled bad. Let alone eat, it was disgusting at a glance. How could such exquisite food be eaten?

She could turn a blind eye if she was provoked by other places, but she was very annoyed by fooling her in eating.

The woman who delivered the meal gave birth to a pair of hanging eyes. When she looked at people, she was inclined, as if her eyes had grown on her scalp. "Calm down, girl. It's really too busy in the kitchen today, so she missed the time. Let's make do with it first."

The people who serve Linglong are sent by Xing Ji. What they love to say to Linglong is how the Lord treats her, how to indulge her, how to be as kind as a mountain, ask her to be grateful and repay her.

In the past, the original owner must have endured it. He felt that he was a roommate and had a low status. He didn't want to cause trouble for his loving father. It's better to do less than one thing. Although these meat dishes can't be eaten, vegetarian dishes can barely be imported.

But how can Linglong bear it?

Everyone in the world has become a ninja turtle, and she can't bear it.

"Make do with it?"

Linglong repeated the word and smiled, "you let me make do with it?"

The woman was a little frightened by the smile, and then spit hard in her heart: bah! A little wild seed born of a cheap blank! If you have a bad name and a bad word, you really think you are a Xing girl! It's hard to say whether this is the seed of the Lord! I'm playing with her here!

But he still smiled and looked humble and flattering. He was full of kidnappings. He looked like Linglong. If he didn't make do with it, he was not sensible, virtuous and gentle. He was not worthy to be the girl of the Xing family: "girl, please calm down. The kitchen was also a last resort. The wife and the husband were the top priority. When the husband returned to the house today, the wife wanted to give him more rewards, This delayed the delivery of food to the girl. "

"Oh." Exquisite and clear“ It turns out that brother a has come back. That's understandable. I can't think about it properly. "

The mother-in-law is proud of herself. She knows that the roommate has shallow eyelids and believes what others say. She has a discussion with her today. Tomorrow, she will go to her wife to show her face and ask for a reward. She will tell it as a joke to her wife and please her. She can't say that she can still be transferred to her wife's yard to be a mother. In that case, why worry about there's no way out in the future“ That's right. It's not too late for a girl to know her mistakes. "

Linglong nodded slowly and stood up. "Today is love, but why yesterday? I didn't seem to eat anything hot before. It turns out that it's all sentimental. "

She looked at the greasy, red and cold elbows on the table, and the smiling face pursed at the corners of her mouth was delicate and bright. These days, her meals are all greasy things. She asked that there are difficulties in the kitchen. As a girl, she should be more considerate, so that she can be liked.

If an ignorant girl enters the house for the first time, she may be fooled for fear that she will annoy her legitimate mother. Therefore, she is cautious and humble. She wants to be invisible, but how can Linglong believe it?

The most important thing is that she is the master. Why should the master understand the difficulties of slaves?

In full view of the public, Linglong reached out and grabbed the neat bun combed by the woman, and then smashed the other party's face to the greasy big elbow!

The woman has been working in the kitchen and has always been able to figure out Mrs. Zhuang's psychology. She will give color to whoever Mrs. Zhuang hates. Over time, she has also been included in Mrs. Zhuang's eyes and won a clever praise.

Today is the first time she has eaten flat. She usually looks like a person and treats herself as a character. Who ever wanted to be humiliated by a 13-year-old girl, suddenly his face turned red with anger and his heart was dissatisfied, but he was the master. After all, Mrs. Zhuang will not protect her when it comes to Mrs. Zhuang. Who says that all this is planned by the woman herself?

"I see your attitude. It seems that the cold food is also delicious. Then you should finish all the dishes on this table today. Don't go until you finish it."

Linglong said, and pressed the woman's face on her elbow. The woman was born with a big arm and a round waist, but she was slim and graceful. It happened that the woman was struggling with being crushed by a thousand kilograms. In the eyes of one servant, she felt more and more that this person was cheating and slippery. How strong a 13-year-old girl can be. This person can really pretend!

When the woman raised her head from her big elbow, her face was covered with scarlet sauce, and she could smell the fishy smell from a distance. Although the meal is rich, it can only be regarded as general in terms of taste. If Linglong doesn't eat it, they privately say she is picky. Therefore, Linglong thinks that they should feel very delicious?

If it's delicious, give it to them.

"Break her mouth open and feed her." Linglong whispered, "it's best to lick the plate clean, so as not to waste."

The servants around didn't dare to listen to her. They hurried up to several people. One grabbed an arm, the other broke his mouth, and another took up a vegetable plate and stuffed it into the woman's mouth, which made the woman cry and cry. Although she was only a servant, she also had a head and face in the house. Many people slipped her to please her. How could she have been abused like this?
