Old things in Nancheng

Wang Zimo drank a bowl of tea, regained consciousness for a while, put down the tea bowl calmly, and sighed: "Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, although the food in my Wang's family is good, but you come to my house every day to eat, it's not authentic."

"We are a small family. If we don't work, the whole family will starve to death. You come here every day, and the food money is ignored. My wife and I have not gone to work for many days. If this continues, our family will have to drink the northwest wind."

Look, what is this called? It is typical of being generous. Mrs. Lin still looks ashamed, but Lin Changshi is angry again. He runs the largest restaurant in the county and a wealthy family with thousands of acres of fertile land under his name. Well, people who can make such an excuse are not usually thick-skinned.

After being in contact with Wang Zimo for a few days, Lin Changshi finally understands that even though Wang Zimo is not yet full of weak pappus, she is really a treacherous person. She looks innocent on the surface, but her stomach is full of bad water.

Wang Zimo waited for Lin Changshi to start scolding, and Lin Changshi was about to speak. Who would have thought that Mrs. Liu would suddenly come out and teach a lesson: "You brat, this is what I said to my elders! How do I teach you my old lady? ?We can be poor, but we must practice etiquette and rules, respect the elders, love the brothers, take pity on the younger generation, help each other in the neighborhood, and give a lot to the poor in the city."

"Who is your lord? Your lord is your father-in-law, and you are his half son. Let alone come to us for a reunion dinner, even if you live in our house, you have to be respectful and filial every morning and evening!"

Wang Zimo looked at Liu Shi in astonishment, feeling unreal as if he had been struck by lightning.God, is this still her mother?Is this really her mother?Can her mother say such a thing?You can be poor, but you can't be unruly, what a joke!

Lin Zhilan's heart burst into laughter a long time ago, she suddenly thought of the words of later generations who love the motherland, love the people, love what, as a newcomer in the new society, the Liu family really worked hard to cling to the powerful.

Lin and his wife couldn't help but give Liu a high look. Strict mother, sensible, general knowledge, Wang Zimo can be so good, Lin Zhilan can live so happily in Wang's family, it seems that Liu's mother-in-law is indispensable.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Lin is an imperial envoy and an important minister in the capital. How can we climb up high? You are not afraid that our family will be ruined!" Wang Zimo regained his senses after being shocked, and quickly stood up to remind him. His little face was a little pale, It seemed to be frightened.

Of course, it's only plausible.

Seeing Wang Zimo's expression, Lin Changshi's eyelids slightly retracted, and he felt confident.His slender fingers tapped on the small case a few times, and he said gently: "Wang Zimo, after so many days, you are tired, Lan Er is tired, and my wife and I are also tired. It's time to tell the truth. You You might as well cut to the chase, what are you worried about?"

Finally, Wang Zimo and Lin Zhilan waited for these words, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Wang Zimo walked up to the Lins and his wife, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency and Madam's sympathy, Zimo and Madam know, and your Excellency and Madam's eagerness to find a daughter, we also know. It's just my lord, dare to ask you Do you really believe that the lady is indeed your Lin Clan noble daughter?"

The question was heavy and serious. Lin Changshi looked at Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin nodded heavily without even thinking about it. Lin Changshi said in a deep voice: "There is no reason in the world that parents don't recognize their children. Lan'er is indeed our daughter. .”

Wang Zimo nodded when he heard the words, bowed again and said: "Since that's the case, Xiaomin has something to say. There is a good doctor in Xiaomin's house, but if a mortal still has a breath, the old man can save him. The lady's amnesia, The old man has been treated for nearly a year, but there is no improvement at all, it is expected that the lady will never remember the past."

"If your lord and madam confirm again and again, Zimo and Niangzi are willing to agree with the two elders. However, if someone finds relatives in the house in the future, what should they say? Isn't it suspected of pretending to be an official and relative to confuse the blood, and when the time comes, the family will be ransacked and the family will be wiped out, how can we afford it?"

The words are sincere and reasonable. The Lin couple only wanted to recognize their relatives, but they didn't expect this.Lin Changshi looked at Wang Zimo who was standing bowed, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that this son was able to prosper the family business. He looked rather dandy on the surface, but his thoughts were delicate and meticulous.Like this kind of thing, how can ordinary people not be happy about it, even if they want to recognize their relatives, people like Wang Zimo think long-term and would rather live a stable life than being rich.

Madam Lin, who loves to cry, cried again. She just loves to cry, and she is not stupid. She was born in an official family, married to an official, and spent most of her life among the rich and powerful. Live, feel sad.

"My son-in-law, don't think about it too much. It's not you and my wife who are looking for a daughter this time. In front of the master today, I will leave a word. If it proves that Lan'er is not my son in the future, I will not pursue it." , and recognize Lan'er as a righteous daughter, you two can rest assured."

"Thank you, madam." Wang Zimo bowed, but he still didn't let go, his eyes stared blankly at Lin Changshi.

"Madam's words are mine, don't worry." Lin Changshi knew that Prince Mo was cautious, so he said.

Wang Zimo's heart that had been hanging for half a month finally fell. She looked back at Lin Zhilan, then at the excited Liu Shi, and calmly said: "My lord, madam, Xiaomin still has something to say."

"Let's talk." Lin Changshi wanted to know what else Wang Zimo was thinking, although he felt that it was Lin Zhilan who came over crying and hugged the two of them.

"My lord, madam, the following words are a bit disrespectful, but Xiaomin still wants to say. Xiaomin was lonely since childhood, and his wife lost his memory and wandered. If I can have my lord and his wife as elders, I will be extremely happy. How filial to my mother will I be? How will you be filial to the two elders. But, the ugly words are in the front, the lady has married Xiaomin as his wife, so it should be the Wang family first, and then the Lin family, if the two elders agree, then Xiaomin and the lady will stand up to each other with embarrassment."

Lin Zhilan got up, bent her knees and said, "My lord and madam, please be happy. The Wang family is already a concubine's home. There is a loving mother-in-law here, a lovely treasure, and a husband who loves my concubine. I am used to it here." .”

Mrs. Lin cried again, and Lin Changshi held back his breath, and it was a dull pain in his chest. If it was light, it caused [-] points of damage to Lin and his wife.

The main hall was terribly quiet, the young couple kept saluting postures, Mrs. Liu was stunned, Mrs. Lin wept silently, and Lin Changshi's dark face seemed to be the calm before the storm.The annoying chirping of cicadas could be heard from far outside the hall, as well as Bao'er's faint and crisp laughter.

Lin Changshi looked at Lin Zhilan's face, calm and desireless, concealing a trace of hope that flew away. After all, it was the young girl he loved since he was a child. Although Lin Changshi felt so aggrieved in his heart, in order to find her, he would I can only endure it.As for Wang Zimo, Lin Changshi didn't like it at all. First, he stopped them from recognizing his daughter, but now he finally recognized her and snatched her away before it was hot. He was extremely cunning.

"That's all, it's up to you." Lin Changshi squeezed Mrs. Lin's hand tightly, sighing deeply, it's no different between finding it and not finding it!

"Mo'er, Lan'er, why don't you kowtow and offer tea to your parents-in-law!"

Like a gust of wind, Mrs. Liu stuffed two bowls of tea into the hands of Wang Zimo and Lin Zhilan, then grabbed Wang Zimo's sleeve and pulled it down fiercely. The two knelt down and said in unison: "My lord (father-in-law), mother (Mother-in-law), sir, please drink tea."

This cup of tea is difficult to distinguish between sweetness and bitterness, but sweetness is as sweet as sugar.

Mrs. Lin hugged Lin Zhilan and cried again, while Lin Changshi took out the prepared things and handed them to Lin Zhilan, lovingly said: "These are the dowry given to you by this old man and your mother, you can keep them, don't let this The brat lost."

"Father, Lan'er doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in Wang's house, you and mother can keep it for yourself." Lin Zhilan declined.

"If this is the case, when you get married, can the parents not buy you a dowry? Your mother in the capital has prepared it for you. You can use it as pocket money." Lin Changshi said proudly.

Wang Zimo stood close, and at a glance he saw that Lin Changshi gave Lin Zhilan some land deeds, store deeds, and bills, which were quite a lot, but Wang Zimo didn't like it, and turned his head away with the corner of his mouth pulled.

"Look at you sour, don't blame the old man for not loving you, come here, bring it up."

After finishing speaking, the entourage brought up a black cricket jar, Lin Changshi handed it to Wang Zimo, and taunted him: "You are so good at playing with crickets, and you don't even have a good jar, so it's not shameful to throw it away! This is for you, just for fun."

Wang Zimo looked at it over and over again, but she didn't see anything strange. Her old habit of being a mess relapsed again, and a jar fell straight down with trembling hands. Lin Changshi's eyes were wide open, and his mouth didn't close. , His eyes are full of distress.A gust of wind blew, and the jar came into Liu's hands. Seeing Liu's gesture of moths darting to the flame, one could tell how much effort she had made to save the family property.

As fast as a strong wind, as fast as lightning, that skill, that leg, don't mention it.

"I know you're a prodigal, don't expect me to give you good things in the future!" Lin Changshi patted the table directly, blowing his beard and staring in anger.

Wang Zimo turned around coolly, and said flatly: "Isn't it just a cricket jar, no matter how good it is, it's a thing. Father-in-law, you are such a big official, what about it!"

"You! You! Do you know the origin of this jar? It is worth 1000 taels. If you break it, the old man will break your leg!"

"Father-in-law, it's fine to break my son-in-law's leg, as long as Lan'er agrees."

With such a light word, the old man became wilted.Lin Changshi knew that Lin Zhilan would not turn to him when the married daughter splashed water.

Seeing that Lin Changshi couldn't stop cursing, Wang Zimo had a bright smile on his face: "Mo'er has won the best from the Lin family, and Mo'er is very satisfied."

With affectionate style and deep eyes, Lin Changshi was so angry that he disappeared in an instant.
