Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Turning around the screen, Wen Jiao, Yang Shi, and Jiao Xing sat down as guests of honor, and Yang Shi began to talk about the old things from the beginning.

"That year, I was still in the Zhen family in Gusu, working as my wife's personal maid. Speaking of which, although the Zhen family is not a wealthy family, the master has served as county magistrates before, but he didn't think of fame. I returned to my hometown early. The family also has a small income, so the people nearby also regard the Zhen family as a famous family."

"It's a pity that although the master and wife have done good deeds, they are destined to have no children. There is only one girl named Yinglian. The girl was only five years old on the Lantern Festival that year. A family member, who seems to be surnamed Huo, took the girl to see Fireworks. Unexpectedly, he took the girl out all night and never came back."

"Master and wife are very anxious. Our whole house, plus Mrs. and Mrs. asked for help, we searched for a whole month, but we didn't find any trace of the girl. Both master and wife were so worried that they fell ill one after another. , we are busy making medicine for the doctor, and the whole family is in a hurry..."

Speaking of this, Yang couldn't help crying, Wen Jiao sighed, and didn't rush, watching Yang wiped away her tears, choked up and continued: "Who knows that the gourd temple next to it... was at that time Zhen's mansion. In the past, the Gourd Temple in Suzhou was next to the Gourd Temple. The oil pan inside the Gourd Temple was fried and burned the whole street. Although there were no casualties in the mansion, only the houses and property were burned to rubble and ashes. "

"No one would have thought of this. The master and wife had no choice but to take us all to the farm for a while. It's just that in those years there were droughts, thieves were everywhere, and the farm couldn't live, so we had to sell the farm and go to my wife's natal family. Seal the house."

Mrs. Yang wanted to continue talking, but stopped again, and finally sighed: "It's not that I blamed the old master, it's just that Mr. Zhen is not used to farming. After a year or two, the harvest was not good, and the life became more and more difficult. The wife's father... Well, within two years, the master's health has become worse and worse, and he has gradually revealed his appearance in the next life."

"At that time, the family was barely supporting themselves. The old servants, only Chun Xing and I were left. Although I found a girl a few times, it's been a long time and I can't find her again. That's all. After all, the master and wife are considered a family. But who knows that the master went out to relax that day and did not come back. He heard people say that he left with a lame Taoist. Mrs. Su, tell me, is this a miracle? thing?"

Wen Jiao just sighed.Mrs. Yang just couldn't help herself, she didn't want Wen Jiao to answer her question, and said, "Our wife almost cried to death when she heard about it. We don't have much money at home, but we have to live our lives. The master and servant can only do some needlework for three days and nights to subsidize the family."

"Later, I went to our master's house. I was still in Suzhou with my wife, and I was still able to take care of her. It's just that after the master resigned, we wandered around, and we haven't communicated with my wife for a long time. I don't know what's going on now."

Although Wen Jiao knew the cause and effect of these things in the Zhen family, but hearing Yang's words from her own mouth, she still felt sympathetic.Zhen Shiyin's family was destroyed, although the main reason was that his house was burned and he lost his property.But if Yinglian was by her side, no matter how many troubles there were, the husband and wife would always be able to get through it together.

Seeing that Wen Jiao was silent, Mrs. Yang thought of Yinglian again, and said anxiously: "I saw the girl in the madam's yard today. Although I only took a look at it, I felt that she was very similar to the old lady. Our girl has a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and I think the girl in the yard has it too. That's why I took the liberty to ask."

"Madam, please don't blame me for being abrupt. Can you let me meet this girl and say a few words so that I can know if she is the lady from back then." After Yang finished speaking, she felt apprehensive, and raised her head to see Madam Su's reaction.

Wen Jiao stood up and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I thought at first that if there is a destiny, it would be a merit to find her parents and relatives. If you are here today, if you can really find her parents in her hometown, it will be her. Your luck is here." After speaking, Wen Jiao ordered: "Bai Lu, go and bring Liu'er."

Seeing Yang's hesitant to speak, Wen Jiao smiled and said, "Because I don't know her name, she said that the kidnapper called her Xiao Liu'er. If she is really your former girl, she will naturally be able to restore her real name. "

Wen Jiao thought about it and then sighed: "It's just that I asked her about her origin, hometown, name, etc. yesterday, but she said she couldn't remember. I think she was abducted from her hometown when she was young, and seven or eight years later, she forgot all about it." It's normal. Just see if she can remember anything when she meets her old friend." Then he asked, "Then do you still remember how old she is and when is her birthday?"

Yang did some calculations and said: "If I remember correctly, I think I will be 11 years old this year, and my birthday on February [-]th is the Flower God's Day."

Wen Jiao smiled and said, "What a coincidence, our eldest daughter is also born on February [-]th."

While speaking, Bai Lu had already brought Yinglian here.After Yinglian saluted, Wen Jiao said with a smile: "You raise your head and show this lady, do you still recognize her?"

From the moment Yinglian entered the door, Yang's eyes never left her.Seeing Yinglian raised her head, Yang couldn't help supporting the couch and stood up slowly. Seeing Yinglian's face, she knew that she must be the lady of that day. She was excited and asked tentatively: " Girl, do you remember me?"

Yinglian is also wondering, why does this lady look familiar?So I was stunned for a while.Although she always pretends that she doesn't remember things when she was a child, in fact she still remembers some, but she just hopes that she doesn't remember.

Just imagine a girl who was raised like gold and jade from a young age, once she was abducted, beaten and scolded at night and day, if she remembered her past life again, wouldn't she be torturing herself?So Yinglian has been beaten several times, and she no longer thinks about the past.

Now at the Lin Mansion, the wives and sisters are very kind, so Yinglian also relaxes a bit.Seeing a familiar face and hearing this question again, she replied: "I see Madam has a kind face, but I don't remember where I met Madam."

It turned out that Zhen Shiyin and Feng's family were the most virtuous and charitable people back then, and they never treated the family members harshly.Even if the family was in decline, the Feng family never treated the Yang family harshly.Therefore, Yang's heart is grateful for Feng's kindness.

When Yinglian was young, she was cute and cute, and everyone liked her from top to bottom.So Mrs. Yang was able to see Yinglian today, and after hearing this again, she couldn't hold back her tears, couldn't support herself for a while, and sat back on the collapsed bed.

Seeing Yang's behavior, Yinglian was at a loss, so she turned to Wen Jiao for help.Wen Jiao's heart softened, and he beckoned Yinglian to come over, took her hand, and smiled at Yang Shi: "Look at this, she is the girl you mentioned?"

Although Yang said she was born as a maid, Wen Jiao couldn't always mention Yang's former maid status in words.Wen Jiao used to be a girl too, but she is still a modern person at heart, and she doesn't mind if people know her identity.

But Wen Jiao is after all the Second Miss Su on the genealogy, and Yang's background has not been changed.People's hearts are separated from each other, so it is impossible for Yang to talk about his birth in the past, become rich in the future, think of today's events, and blame Wen Jiao again.

Yang wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile: "Yes, although after so many years, the girl has grown up a lot. It's just that those of us who knew her well in the past knew everything about her, and recognized her when they saw her."

Seeing Yinglian's puzzled face, Wen Jiao said softly: "It's really fate. This lady met you and said that she knew where your parents' hometowns are. Your real name is Zhen Yinglian, and your hometown is in Gusu. Miss, please let this lady tell you the details, okay?"

When Yinglian heard Wen Jiao say this, and saw Wen Jiao push her forward, some fragments of her childhood appeared in her mind, so she walked to Yang's side involuntarily.Yang tried to pull Yinglian's hand, seeing that Yinglian didn't resist, she pulled Yinglian to sit beside her, and talked about the situation in the past few years.

Yinglian lowered her head and listened silently to Mrs. Yang's cause and effect, but she was eight or nine percent convinced in her heart.Hearing that the house was burned and that his father was missing, he felt very sad.When she looked up again, she was already in tears.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang had finished speaking, Wen Jiao wept at each other, after all, they were in disgrace.Then he laughed and said, "Okay, this is a happy event. We should be happy. Why are we all crying?" Then he asked someone to fetch water, wash Yang's Yinglian face, and then asked someone to call Daiyu.

Seeing that the color is gone, Wen Jiao smiled at Yinglian again: "You were brought back by me yesterday, and now I know where the parents in my hometown are. It can be seen that you and I are destined. I intend to recognize you as a Being a daughter, are you willing or not?"

Even after Yinglian washed her face, the circles of her eyes were still red, and she still hadn't regained her composure.Hearing what Wen Jiao said, he was stunned for a moment, and looked up, not knowing what to say.Wen Jiao sighed in his heart, and asked again with a smile: "Yinglian, would you like to be my goddaughter?"

Yinglian came back to her senses, knelt down immediately, choked with sobs and said: "My wife saved my life, and my wife found my parents for me. My hometown, my great kindness, I can't repay you. As my wife's daughter, I'm just afraid I can't afford it."

Wen Jiao pulled Yinglian up and said with a smile: "If I want to recognize you, you can afford it. You just say whether you want to or not."

Yinglian smiled and said, "I am willing."

At this time Daiyu had also arrived, she entered the door to salute, and said with a smile: "Madam looking for me?"

Wen Jiao pulled Daiyu to her side, and said with a smile: "You said it was a coincidence. Mrs. Yang happened to have met Yinglian before, so when they met today, she told Yinglian's origin. She was originally from the city of Suzhou. A girl from the eunuch's family named Zhen, if she hadn't been kidnapped, would be considered a lady now. It just so happens that she is from the same town as us, and it happens to be on the same birthday as you. A goddaughter, Yu'er also has multiple sisters, what do you think?"
