"On the side of my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law, the old generation's gratitude and resentment can't be controlled by us who are the younger generation. We can just be our own."
Deng Jinchai thought of it as Deng Jingu, and then said, "there are many good women in the world. I know that my little sister-in-law is excellent and very beautiful. Not to mention these ten li and eight townships, it's one of the best in Yanghe county. But the world is so big, you have so many abilities, and you have so many opportunities to do business outside. You can definitely get those The eyes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the wealth of the family, are certainly willing to marry our Deng family. "
Deng Jingu smiles bitterly when he hears that Lin Anxin is the only one in the world.
After he made his fortune, where can the girls who came to him be as good as her?
If it wasn't for the Zhou family, when Deng Jinchai saw that he didn't speak, she asked, "by the way, what's the matter with you? Can I talk to him when he comes back?"
"No, I'll tell him that it's just business. Elder sister, although Zhou Changgen has been beheaded by the queen of autumn, the person who made me lose my child's daughter-in-law at that time is still at large. I will go to the capital."
Deng Jinchai sighed deeply, and she knew she couldn't stop him: "when you were young, you had an idea. If you were parents, you always went in one ear and out the other. I don't advise you much. Just one. You need to be careful. I heard your brother-in-law say that the two of the Zhou family are literati with big fists. We ordinary people can't fight each other I've been there
"If I go, I'm just a concubine. Besides, I don't want to move three generations. I'm just looking for Zhou to take revenge. A little concubine doesn't want too much in that mansion. She can't afford too much spray. Elder sister, you can just rest assured."
Even though Deng Jingu was full of confidence, Deng Jinchai was very uneasy.
"Elder sister, why don't you see Siya?"
He sent big turtle to meet Lin Anxin.
"It's freezing and snowy. She'll come out and walk around when she's eating. Most of them are either in the cat's room or in my mother-in-law's room. She doesn't want to go anywhere. Even Su's family sent someone to pick her up today to play a horse sling. She tried to find an excuse to push it. I don't know why she's so afraid of cold."
Deng Jinchai can't imagine that in modern times, bright heating, floor heating and air conditioning can ensure Lin An's comfort in winter.
She has been wearing it for several years, but she can't adapt to the cold winter.
Chuzhou is located in the south, but not the southernmost. Every winter, Lin Anxin is going crazy because of the cold feeling. Fortunately, there are girls around him. Every night, he takes some soup women to put them in the quilt. When he gets up in the morning, his jacket has been put on the fumigation cage to dry.
Seeing his calm face, Deng Jinchai felt a little relieved. She could not persuade him any more, but only said that she would keep him at home for lunch.
Deng Jingu has been pushed. He still has some other things to do. He can't stay here too long.
When he got out of the door of the Lin family, he put his hand in his arms and touched it. In his arms, he wrapped a ruby hairpin with beads and tassels in a brocade handkerchief. Because of his body, he felt a trace of warmth. He wanted to find an opportunity to give it to Lin Anxin quietly.
With a slight sigh, he took out his right hand from the grey brocade cloak and rubbed the back of his left hand, which was holding the oil paper umbrella. The vast fields were white, and the air was full of snow. The heavy wooden clogs on the snow made a creaking sound, leaving only a bunch of lonely shoe prints. Soon, they were covered by the dancing snow She gets up early on weekdays, about four o'clock, so she can't sleep. She doesn't want to disturb the children. She just lets Qiuyue light the lamp, sits on the bed with the quilt in her arms, and looks out the window all the time.
Since she was frightened in Fucheng that day, Liu Sanniang always likes to sit at the head of the bed and hold the quilt when she can't sleep in the dead of night.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Since dawn in the morning, she got up and waited for Lin Qingsong to come back. But in the evening, Lin Qingsong didn't appear at the new year's Eve dinner.
The disappointment in Liu Sanniang's eyes is getting bigger and bigger, and people are becoming more silent.
Lin Shunhe came to the restaurant with his family. Xiao Fang was very respectful to Liu Sanniang. Lin Fangshi couldn't look at it, and he was almost suffocated. When she saw Xiao Fang waiting for Liu Sanniang to eat, she would burst out of her nostrils and snort heavily.
Lin Anxin had been worried about Lin Qingsong. It was very difficult to walk on a snowy day. She was afraid that something might happen to him on the road.
And Lin Fang's always so strange, Lin An Xin came to fire, chopsticks to the table heavily a pat, cold face stare at Lin Fang's: "big new year, also let people feel better, if you don't want to eat, then go back early, no one rare you."
When Lin Shunhe saw him, he blamed Lin Anxin: "how do you speak? You are rich now. You are more ambitious now. No matter what, she is also your elder."
Lin Anxin didn't recognize himself as Lin Fang's granddaughter: "hum, milk? Did she support me for a day? Did you give my mother a good look? Don't forget that you two have been separated from each other for a long time, and you have asked for a small one. If you really want to talk about it, shouldn't this new year's Eve dinner be eaten at your place? I'm rich. I'm ambitious. What can you do for me? Do you look like a father? If I don't know etiquette, I'll learn it from you. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, you can't laugh at a hundred steps here. "She didn't look at Lin Shunhe from beginning to end.
I don't want to recognize him as a cheap father at all.
"You are really angry with me." Lin Shunhe wants to throw chopsticks, but he is held down by Xiao Fang.
"Master, what's the matter with you? The four girls are worried about the third young master. It's 30 years old. The road is blocked by heavy snow. They clearly say they want to come back. They don't know where he will be. It's still a question whether they can catch up with ShouSui. You're the father of the third young master. The four girls are worried about the third young master. If you don't worry, I don't believe it."
Xiao Fang was really good at it. A few words coaxed Lin Shunhe.
"Then she shouldn't give her grandmother face." Lin Shunhe is dying.
Xiao Fang glanced at Lin Fang and didn't speak any more.
Liu Sanniang was not happy. She gave Lin Shunhe a cut and said, "what's wrong with my daughter? What's wrong with her? What's in the way? If you don't like it, you can go home. This is my eldest son's house. I'll take you to dinner just for the sake of family. Don't even worry about this family. What's wrong with my daughter? She's worried about the third, can't she? How many of you do she honor? You tell me clearly, where do you come from? You spend so much money in your family, she doesn't give you less subsidies. I Pooh, you don't carry the elder's shelf here. Since she and the third brother knocked down the grass, have you been in charge of Lin Shunhe for a day? The food and clothing are all earned by my Liu Sanniang. It's all my Liu Sanniang who brought up these four children. "
Lin Fang's unconvinced: "you were born by yourself, you don't raise it."
Liu Sanniang said to her: "can I be born alone? Children's surname is not Lin, not your Lin family? You said it so well at the beginning. When I was not born, I looked at my face every day. When did you take care of the children's stuttering? "
Lin Shunhe was ashamed. Lin Fangshi wanted to go back, but she was glared by Liu Sanniang. She swallowed the words and glanced at Lin Anxin secretly. She didn't say anything.
"Father, master, milk, even if you love it so much, I'll leave it here today. Later, I really don't care about things there. Don't come to me to cry for money and ask for the copper plate I need to mend."
Lin Anxin didn't want to be poked in the spine by outsiders. Her mother-in-law's family is only a few miles away from her home.
But today she is determined, a son don't want to cheap, Lin Fang and Lin Laozi, as for Lin Shunhe, this life, she can't throw away, fortunately Lin Shunhe usually don't provoke her.
As soon as her words came out, the most unhappy one was Xiao Fang. If she didn't rely on the subsidies from the two of you, how could she survive there?
Xiao Fang's heart also began to play a small abacus, also don't know what the four girl's heart is a plan, she thought, after a year, take time to ask her.
However, Lin Anxin didn't let her guess for long. Ai Qing winked at her when people didn't pay attention to her. Xiao Fang took the opportunity to touch the chopsticks on Lin Fang's hand and went to get her a pair of clean ones.
Taking the opportunity to leave the front hall, she left with her front feet, and Aiqing left quietly with her back feet.
On the way to the kitchen, Aiqing called her: "little lady."
Xiao Fang looked back and saw that it was her. Her heart suddenly fell down.
"Miss Aiqing, what's the matter?"
Ai Qing said with a smile: "my little lady is polite. Please call my maid Ai Qing. Otherwise, I'll ask the girl to see me, but I have to blame my maid for not understanding the rules."
Then she said: "what happened before, my little lady, don't take it to heart. My girl said more than once that she didn't care about those, but it was her father. She didn't care. She would be gossiped by outsiders. Besides, my girl's little fingers were a little loose, and there were more than those leaks. But she didn't bother to care about a few taels of silver a year. ”
What Ai Qing didn't say is that she rewarded people more than that.
With her understanding of her own girls, there are several in her heart, I'm afraid even a servant can't match.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Fang's conjecture, just did not listen to Ai Qing said, she is not sure, all said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Ai Qing motioned to her to go to the kitchen and whispered, "what's more interesting? My girl means that every year, she turns those empty headed gifts into cash and gives them to the little lady. The master is the little lady's man. If you have a bite to eat, you will never lose him. As for the other people, my girl means that she doesn't want to give them any money, but the little lady didn't come in before There is no one to help the master manage the house, and our girls don't want to make themselves unhappy for the money. "
Ai Qing ponders over it. Why does Lin Fangshi turn over? Most of all, she has a little copper plate on hand. Besides, Lin Shunhe is in the charge of Lin Qingshan. She doesn't have to eat Lin Anshen's food any more, and she doesn't have to rely on her to give up some money. Therefore, she can't help quarreling with her girls today.
