[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true
Chapter 42 042
In fact, after calming down, Zhen Fu also understood that he was making a fuss.
But seeing his wife Xun Shu lose weight within a period of time, the huge sense of panic is enough to make people lose their minds.
After a while, Zhen Fu finally recovered from the great panic of losing Lin Kou.
He buried Lin Kou's neck, and said sullenly, "Every time you lose weight, it's so fast, so..."
Zhen Fu paused and said nothing.
Lin Kou understood what he meant, and comforted him with a smile: "I'm losing weight almost every day, but slowly, you didn't notice it. This time, it's because what I asked for exceeded my expectations, so I lost weight So much, usually I will control the weight I lost suddenly.”
After a pause, she said solemnly, "But don't worry, I am in good health and absolutely fine."
"It doesn't matter if you lose weight so quickly?" Zhen Fu didn't quite believe it.
Lin Kou broke free from Zhen Fu's arms, and raised his finger to point to his face: "Those people whose health is affected due to sudden weight loss are often mentally tired, they don't look energetic, and their faces are so pale and ugly. But look at me, don't you?" Fluid and refreshed, exactly like none of them?"
Zhen Fu was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at Lin Kou's face: "It seems...it is true."
Only then did he really feel relieved.
Seeing this, Lin Kou was also relieved.
But in the bottom of her heart, she already planned to go back to the room every time she made a wish in the future, otherwise she would definitely scare people.
Zhen Fu didn't know what Lin Kou was thinking, and he still had lingering fears, so he and Lin Kou almost became conjoined twins for a long time afterwards, no matter where Lin Kou went, he would go with him.
Eat snacks, take things, enjoy flowers, grow onions, ginger and garlic...even change clothes.
Lin Kou knew that he had scared people, so he didn't say much, but when Bai Shuang and the others saw Zhen Fu's performance, they secretly laughed that he couldn't leave Lin Kou, which made Lin Kou speechless.
Fortunately, within a few days, Zhen Fu returned to normal.
Lin Kou took out five sets of test papers in an instant: "Today's task is to finish writing these five sets of test questions."
In order to improve efficiency, Lin Kou had already replaced the brush with a quill, and did not require Zhen Fu to answer the questions in the pavilion style for the time being, so Zhen Fu's answering speed had already been tempered during this period of time.
But five sets of questions a day is still somewhat beyond Zhen Fu's ability.
But fortunately, it didn't exceed too much.
As long as you change the running script to cursive script when answering the questions, you should still be able to barely complete the answer.
That is, there is not much time to think when answering the questions.
Zhen Fu nodded as he thought about it.
That is to say, the exam questions that Zhen Fu is doing now are only for the college exam, and there is no theory in the exam questions of the college exam. Otherwise, it may not be enough to conceive a theory with substance in a day, let alone five sets in a day. problem.
thump—
After Lin Kou knocked the gong, he immediately handed out the exam questions he had prepared.
Zhen Fu didn't dare to waste any time. After getting the test paper, he immediately wrote down his name, hometown and three generations of ancestors, etc., and then immediately set his sights on the first question.
A gentleman takes...
When Zhen Fu thought of the answer, he immediately wrote it down, as if someone was chasing after him. He answered the questions very fast. Sometimes he knew that his answer was not sure enough, but he didn't dare to stop and think about it, lest he would lose his mind if he spent too much time. Too late to do the following questions.
Just doing one by one, one by one, Zhen Fu soon completely immersed in the exam.
Lin Kou was sitting next to him, eating melon and fruit snacks, while paying attention to the hourglass time, knocking the gong from time to time to report the time, and increasing Zhen Fu's nervousness.
When Zhen Fu was struggling in the sea of questions, the eldest wife of General Zhen Guo's Mansion suddenly got the news that her second aunt had been found, and her family asked her to go back quickly.
Mrs. Lin didn't dare to delay, she didn't even have time to change her clothes, she directly took the servant girl into the carriage and drove to her mother's house.
When she arrived, the concierge immediately opened the door for her and asked her to enter the soft sedan: "The old man, the old man, the old man, the second master, the second wife, and others are all waiting for you. Get on the sedan chair quickly, and hurry up."
Mrs. Lin immediately got into the sedan chair, and after some bumps, she came to her main courtyard.
After she got off the sedan chair, she quickly stepped forward and found that her grandfather, father, mother, second uncle, third uncle and third aunt were all there, but her grandmother was nowhere to be seen. He went to his mother and asked what was going on.
His mother looked at her daughter sadly, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Lin became anxious immediately: "Didn't you say that the second aunt has been found? Why is no one there? Mother, please tell me what's going on, and you can't tell me to come back and stare at me? Is there anything I can do for you? Please also tell me immediately, my master and general are excellent people, they..."
"Ninny, your second aunt, she's always at home..." After finishing speaking, she looked away in pain.
The second uncle, who had been standing numbly beside Mrs. Lin, burst into tears in an instant, but he had no emotion in his eyes. The tears wet his clothes a lot, but he was indifferent to it.
Mrs. Lin saw such a second uncle, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart: "Second uncle, you..."
Mrs. Lin's mother stopped her: "Don't worry about him, since you found your second aunt, your second uncle has been like this, as if he has lost his soul, he will only cry when he hears your second aunt, and other times he will cry. He also acted as if he didn't hear it, just, just like being stupid."
Mrs. Lin grabbed her mother's hand: "What the hell is going on? Where did Second Aunt find it? Why is Second Uncle unhappy, but has such a reaction instead? Where is Second Aunt? Why didn't you see Second Aunt? Is aunt okay? Can I go and see Second Aunt? By the way, why are you guys in the main courtyard? Second Aunt..."
"Don't ask!" Mrs. Lin's mother grabbed her hand, and after talking to the old lady, she dragged her to the side room next to the main room.
After confirming that other people could not hear her voice, Mrs. Lin's mother said, "Your second aunt found it at home, and it was in the yard where your second uncle and second aunt lived. There was a severe drought that year. Wasn’t a side room in the yard demolished and turned into a well? Later, the well was deserted and dried up, and no one thought of filling the well. Who knew that someone dug a secret room underneath at some point, and your second aunt It was hidden in the secret room."
Mrs. Lin was stunned: "The second aunt is hiding in that dry well?"
Mrs. Lin's mother nodded: "The manhole cover on the dry well was opened and not closed a few days ago, and a child from the servant's family accidentally fell into it. When the adults went to save it, they discovered the secret room. I found your second aunt."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help sighing, "We have almost dug the capital three feet all these years, and even went to the homes of some family friends with the cheek to look for it. Who would have thought that she would be locked up in her own In the yard?"
Mrs. Lin was puzzled: "Didn't we search everywhere in the mansion? No one went to see the well?"
"Of course I saw it, but the secret room is hidden, and you can't find it when you look down from the mouth of the well!" Mrs. Lin's mother took a deep breath, "Your second aunt's condition is very bad, your second uncle is going crazy Now, I feel that all this happened to your second aunt because of me, and I also feel that it was my carelessness that failed to find your second aunt in time, which made her suffer for so many years. She is really uncomfortable. Don't do it in front of your second uncle. Mention your second aunt."
Mrs. Lin was really dying of anxiety: "But I've been back for so long, and I haven't even seen Second Aunt's face!"
Mrs. Lin's mother paused and sighed: "I'll take you there to have a look, but you must be mentally prepared, your second aunt looks a little scary, even if you are frightened, you can't call out."
Mrs. Lin paused and nodded seriously.
She thought she had prepared herself, after all, no matter how scary a person is, how can he scare people?
However, when she saw her second aunt's current appearance, she immediately staggered. If her mother hadn't expected to support her behind her, she might have fallen on the spot.
In fact, the appearance of her second aunt is too scary now.
Not only was her hair thin and messy, but there seemed to be many pustules on her scalp, some of which were still intact, while some were broken. The maid next to her was cleaning her mouth and nose while covering her mouth and nose.
In addition, her second aunt's originally bright and beautiful face was covered with criss-cross scars, some of which had healed, leaving only some light brown marks, and some of them were festered due to wound infection, and turbid dark blood was flowing out. Yellow pus...
Mrs. Lin paused for a while, then rushed out of the room, covering her mouth and nose and retching.
It took a while before she got used to Second Aunt's current appearance.
When her mother came out, Mrs. Lin took a deep breath: "Why doesn't Second Uncle stay by Second Aunt's bed? He is..." Do you dislike Second Aunt's current appearance?
His mother smiled bitterly: "To put it bluntly, if he really dislikes your second aunt because of this, I'm afraid it's just what the old lady and the others want. Even we feel better."
After all, it's been so many years since she saw each other, and she hasn't been with her siblings for long. Instead, she has watched her second brother live in a daze for so many years, immersed in the past and unable to wake up.
but……
"Your second uncle has been guarding your second aunt for a day and a night. Before you came, he was finally persuaded to go to the main courtyard," Mrs. Lin's mother sighed, "The reason for persuading him is also to punish your second aunt for coming here. murderer."
Mrs. Lin paused: "Who is the murderer?"
"It's... your grandma and cousin."
Only then did Mrs. Lin know that after the second aunt lost her mind, at first the grandmother was grateful because her daughter-in-law saved her son's life, but as time passed, her son was still the same as before, and other women would not touch her. Several times of persuasion not only failed to persuade the son, but also made the son say that he would not have children with anyone other than his daughter-in-law, as if he planned to spend his whole life with his daughter-in-law alone. All became dissatisfied.
She also used other methods to force her son to submit, and even asked her widowed niece to drug her son to seduce him.
However, Mrs. Lin's second uncle didn't let them succeed. In order to prevent being disturbed again, she even moved with her wife to live in a village in the suburbs.
What a noble son, a great general with a bright future, living like an ordinary farmer.
Mrs. Lin's grandmother was naturally more dissatisfied, but her son had a stubborn temper, and she felt sorry for her son, so she could only let go and say that she would not force him to stay, and would not force him to touch other women.
Even the niece of her natal family moved her residence to the most remote place in the back house.
After all, the love between mother and child is deep, and his wife's condition really needs better doctors and medicinal materials, so he took his wife back to the old house again.
Who would have thought that all this was just an old lady's disguise.
Her gratitude to her daughter-in-law has long since turned into resentment because of her son's perseverance, and she even cursed her daughter-in-law more than once in her heart why she didn't die sooner.
In this way, her son will come out of the pain of losing his wife sooner or later, and won't hold on to a fool and lunatic.
So during the time when her son took his wife out to live, she quietly asked someone to dig a small secret room under the dry well. After her son brought his wife back, after a while, she relaxed her vigilance and went out. The niece of her natal family who has a deep affection for her son beat her daughter-in-law unconscious and sent her into a dry well.
For so many years, Mrs. Lin's cousin has been delivering meals.
Because after his wife disappeared, Mrs. Lin's second uncle moved out of the old house directly, and spent all his time drinking in Zhuangzi except during the war.
If it wasn't for the glimmer of hope in his heart, he might have committed suicide long ago.
But it seems that it is better to die than to live like this.
According to Mrs. Lin's mother, the old lady seems to have regretted it a long time ago, but the incident has already happened. In order to prevent her daughter-in-law from waking up and identifying herself under the doctor's treatment, and destroying her mother-child relationship with her son, she can only continue to make mistakes .
Mrs. Lin: "...Didn't the old lady also watch my second aunt grow up? Why is she so cruel?"
She used to think that Lan Yun was already a very hateful mother-in-law, but compared with the old lady, she actually thought that Lan Yun was already a very good mother-in-law.
At least, Lan Yun won't harm her!
His mother sighed: "Who would have known that her dissatisfaction with her second sibling has reached such a level?"
When everyone is grateful to the second brother and sister and thinks that she saved the second brother, so even if the second brother decides that he will only have the second brother and sister in this life, will not touch other women and will not have children, although it is regrettable, it is not too much. What are you going to do.
After all, he is not the only son in the family, and his brother and brother have more than one son. When he is old, it is very simple to adopt a son under the name of any brother to take care of him.
The third child is not as capable as the second child, and even made an agreement with the eldest child, the second child, to adopt his second son to the second child.
Everyone thought that everyone acquiesced to the second child's decision.
Who would have thought...
Mrs. Lin had thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought that the truth about her second aunt's disappearance would be like this.
Thinking of the old lady's kindness in the past, she couldn't accept it at all.
But the truth is, she also...
She looked at her mother sadly: "What is Second Uncle going to do to the old lady and cousin?"
His mother paused, and said: "Your cousin is not the mastermind. All these years, your second aunt's survival is due to her delivering three meals a day, but... your second uncle has already escorted him to Beijing. A nunnery in the suburbs. As for the old lady...your second uncle wants to send her to Jingzhao Mansion, but the old lady is protecting her, so...we'll see when the time comes."
The old lady didn't have a few years to live, so what could they do with her?
Can't really let the old lady spend her last years in prison?
Mrs. Lin suddenly said: "That's why Second Uncle has that expression..."
His mother sighed and said nothing more.
The news that Mrs. Lin's second aunt, who had been lost for many years, was found, quickly spread throughout the capital like wings.
Lin Kou naturally also knew the news, and by the way, also learned the whole story from Zhen Fu.
Zhen Fu said while doing the question: "It is said that the second uncle of the eldest lady has moved out of the house with the second aunt, and now lives in Zhuangzi. Whether the second uncle is cooking, boiling medicine, or washing clothes, he can see his wife as soon as he turns around."
"I heard that her second aunt has recovered a lot under the care of her husband day and night, the wound has almost healed, and the scars on her face have almost faded under the effect of the expensive medicine he bought. She is still a little confused, but she is no longer afraid of the dark and insects, and according to the doctor General Lin invited for her, as long as she is treated properly, she may recover one day."
Lin Kou nodded: "For that general, this is the end of all hardships."
Zhen Fu encountered a difficult problem and lost his mind. When he was anxious, sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Lin Kou didn't hear the answer, turned her head to look, and immediately laughed.
Zhen Fu didn't have time to look at her, and tried to think back for a long time, finally knew the answer to this question, and immediately wrote the answer.
After finishing writing, recalling Lin Kou's previous words, he opened his mouth: "Who said it wasn't? I heard that the second son of the Zhao family made up his mind to quit drinking in order to take better care of his wife. Because he was too anxious, he almost killed himself. If It wasn't that the imperial physician was there at the time, I'm afraid he would have died. Later, under the guidance of the imperial physician, he gradually got rid of his alcohol addiction. Now that he is with his wife, I heard that the whole person's spirit is different. "
Lin Kou was curious: "Can quitting alcohol kill people?"
Zhen Fu paused for a moment with the quill in his hand, and then said: "The imperial doctor said that I used to drink too much, and my body has been used to drinking for a long time. Even if I want to quit drinking, I have to do it slowly. If I don't drink at all suddenly, just quit. If the body can't bear it, it may die suddenly."
After a pause, he added, "That's what the imperial doctor said, and I don't know if it's true or not."
Lin Kou nodded: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Among the people we know, there is no alcoholism at all."
Zhen Fu hummed vaguely, and continued to work on the questions.
Lin Kou laughed when he saw this, and suddenly knocked on the gong: "It's a quarter of noon, hurry up, it's time to eat!"
Zhen Fu became tense in an instant: "Okay, okay, I still have two questions to ask. Don't close the paper yet. It will be over in a while! Really, really, right away... It's done!"
Zhen Fu was in a hurry to answer the last two questions in a daze.
After answering, he put the pen on the table with a snap, and slumped on the chair as if sublimated: "Finally finished writing!"
Lin Kou held the test paper in front of him, picked up a pen and began to judge right from wrong.
After a while, she knew the answer: "This time is not bad. The accuracy rate of the questions reached 90.00%. Eight, I got two questions wrong."
Zhen Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped up from the chair: "I'm hungry, let's go eat!"
Lin Kou couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, today's lunch is Sichuan Jinsi Noodles, which are said to be the thinnest noodles in the world, and the noodles are firm and smooth, and the soup base is clear and rich, it is a rare delicacy .”
When Zhen Fu heard it, his stomach immediately sang a symphony.
Lin Kou laughed: "Let's go, I don't know if our chef's knife skills are good or not, and whether the golden noodles made are authentic."
Zhen Fu nodded seriously: "It must be very authentic!"
Mrs. Lin's matter has come to an end, and Mrs. Lin's regrets have also been successfully dissipated after meeting her former fiancé-to-be.
Her former fiancé didn't seem to have expected that Mrs. Lin had been entangled in this matter for so many years. After the conversation, she had to admit that Mrs. Lin was completely different from her weak mother, arrogant concubine, and many aunts who stirred up the flames. favorite.
She is a wonderful person.
If he hadn't revealed the news at the beginning, wouldn't it be...
He sadly expressed his regret to Mrs. Lin Er, but for some reason, Lin Meng who came back suddenly heard him.
Lin Meng exploded immediately, and directly fought with the opponent.
After a lot of persuasion by Mrs. Lin, the two of them were stopped and their misunderstandings were cleared up.
Only then did Lin Meng know that his wife had always felt that he was sorry for his ex-fiancé. If he hadn't known that the original misunderstanding had been resolved, he might have been able to fight with the other party on the spot.
After the matter of the two sister-in-laws ended, Lin Kou and Zhen Fu were once again immersed in the invigilation and examination.
Until, Daiyu sent an invitation letter to Lin Kou.
Lin Kou was taken aback after receiving the invitation letter: "Is there anything Daiyu wants to discuss with me? Just send someone a message. Why did you write an invitation letter so solemnly?"
The invitation only stated that it was a poetry meeting.
but……
Lin Kou is not self-deprecating, if she is asked to recite poems, she can still recite five, six, seven or eight poems. It is not impossible to survive the first round of playing games like Feihua Ling, but poetry?
Lin Kou shook his head resolutely.
The doggerel is more or less the same.
With the idea of finding out, Lin Kou directly sent four sets of test papers to Zhen Fu, asking him to stay at home to do the questions, while he went to Lin's house alone.
As soon as he arrived, Lin Kou was ushered into the garden by Xueyin who was guarding the door.
Then she discovered that today Daiyu not only invited herself, but also Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng, and even Xue Baochai.
Lin Kou paused, stepped forward to greet each other, and then looked at Daiyu: "You are still planning to hold a poetry meeting? What do you ask me to do on such an occasion?"
Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed: "It's a poetry meeting, but there are also business discussions."
She also knew that Lin Kou was not interested in the poetry meeting, so she said directly, "I invited my sister, Sister Bao, and Lian's second sister-in-law here today, and I want to ask your opinions on something."
After a pause, she said, "A few days ago, didn't Sister Li said that many people wanted to go further but couldn't find the way? I wondered if I could help them. There are so many books in the family, it is impossible for my father to allow me Those lent to irrelevant people can be copied and printed in bookstores.”
"There are also those test questions. Since my sister finds them useful, she must be able to help more people."
Lin Kou was stunned: "Do you want to sell your collection of books and test papers?"
Daiyu tilted her head: "Is it not possible? I have asked my parents, and they all said they have no objection. I also asked my elder sister, and she said that my brother-in-law has a set of movable type in his hand. If I really plan to print books and test papers, He will give it to me for nothing!"
But seeing his wife Xun Shu lose weight within a period of time, the huge sense of panic is enough to make people lose their minds.
After a while, Zhen Fu finally recovered from the great panic of losing Lin Kou.
He buried Lin Kou's neck, and said sullenly, "Every time you lose weight, it's so fast, so..."
Zhen Fu paused and said nothing.
Lin Kou understood what he meant, and comforted him with a smile: "I'm losing weight almost every day, but slowly, you didn't notice it. This time, it's because what I asked for exceeded my expectations, so I lost weight So much, usually I will control the weight I lost suddenly.”
After a pause, she said solemnly, "But don't worry, I am in good health and absolutely fine."
"It doesn't matter if you lose weight so quickly?" Zhen Fu didn't quite believe it.
Lin Kou broke free from Zhen Fu's arms, and raised his finger to point to his face: "Those people whose health is affected due to sudden weight loss are often mentally tired, they don't look energetic, and their faces are so pale and ugly. But look at me, don't you?" Fluid and refreshed, exactly like none of them?"
Zhen Fu was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at Lin Kou's face: "It seems...it is true."
Only then did he really feel relieved.
Seeing this, Lin Kou was also relieved.
But in the bottom of her heart, she already planned to go back to the room every time she made a wish in the future, otherwise she would definitely scare people.
Zhen Fu didn't know what Lin Kou was thinking, and he still had lingering fears, so he and Lin Kou almost became conjoined twins for a long time afterwards, no matter where Lin Kou went, he would go with him.
Eat snacks, take things, enjoy flowers, grow onions, ginger and garlic...even change clothes.
Lin Kou knew that he had scared people, so he didn't say much, but when Bai Shuang and the others saw Zhen Fu's performance, they secretly laughed that he couldn't leave Lin Kou, which made Lin Kou speechless.
Fortunately, within a few days, Zhen Fu returned to normal.

After she got off the sedan chair, she quickly stepped forward and found that her grandfather, father, mother, second uncle, third uncle and third aunt were all there, but her grandmother was nowhere to be seen. He went to his mother and asked what was going on.
His mother looked at her daughter sadly, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Ninny, your second aunt, she's always at home..." After finishing speaking, she looked away in pain.

"Don't ask!" Mrs. Lin's mother grabbed her hand, and after talking to the old lady, she dragged her to the side room next to the main room.
After confirming that other people could not hear her voice, Mrs. Lin's mother said, "Your second aunt found it at home, and it was in the yard where your second uncle and second aunt lived. There was a severe drought that year. Wasn’t a side room in the yard demolished and turned into a well? Later, the well was deserted and dried up, and no one thought of filling the well. Who knew that someone dug a secret room underneath at some point, and your second aunt It was hidden in the secret room."
Mrs. Lin was stunned: "The second aunt is hiding in that dry well?"

When her mother came out, Mrs. Lin took a deep breath: "Why doesn't Second Uncle stay by Second Aunt's bed? He is..." Do you dislike Second Aunt's current appearance?
His mother smiled bitterly: "To put it bluntly, if he really dislikes your second aunt because of this, I'm afraid it's just what the old lady and the others want. Even we feel better."
After all, it's been so many years since she saw each other, and she hasn't been with her siblings for long. Instead, she has watched her second brother live in a daze for so many years, immersed in the past and unable to wake up.
but……
"Your second uncle has been guarding your second aunt for a day and a night. Before you came, he was finally persuaded to go to the main courtyard," Mrs. Lin's mother sighed, "The reason for persuading him is also to punish your second aunt for coming here. murderer."
Mrs. Lin paused: "Who is the murderer?"
"It's... your grandma and cousin."
Only then did Mrs. Lin know that after the second aunt lost her mind, at first the grandmother was grateful because her daughter-in-law saved her son's life, but as time passed, her son was still the same as before, and other women would not touch her. Several times of persuasion not only failed to persuade the son, but also made the son say that he would not have children with anyone other than his daughter-in-law, as if he planned to spend his whole life with his daughter-in-law alone. All became dissatisfied.
She also used other methods to force her son to submit, and even asked her widowed niece to drug her son to seduce him.
However, Mrs. Lin's second uncle didn't let them succeed. In order to prevent being disturbed again, she even moved with her wife to live in a village in the suburbs.
What a noble son, a great general with a bright future, living like an ordinary farmer.
Mrs. Lin's grandmother was naturally more dissatisfied, but her son had a stubborn temper, and she felt sorry for her son, so she could only let go and say that she would not force him to stay, and would not force him to touch other women.
Even the niece of her natal family moved her residence to the most remote place in the back house.
After all, the love between mother and child is deep, and his wife's condition really needs better doctors and medicinal materials, so he took his wife back to the old house again.
Who would have thought that all this was just an old lady's disguise.
Her gratitude to her daughter-in-law has long since turned into resentment because of her son's perseverance, and she even cursed her daughter-in-law more than once in her heart why she didn't die sooner.
In this way, her son will come out of the pain of losing his wife sooner or later, and won't hold on to a fool and lunatic.
So during the time when her son took his wife out to live, she quietly asked someone to dig a small secret room under the dry well. After her son brought his wife back, after a while, she relaxed her vigilance and went out. The niece of her natal family who has a deep affection for her son beat her daughter-in-law unconscious and sent her into a dry well.
For so many years, Mrs. Lin's cousin has been delivering meals.
Because after his wife disappeared, Mrs. Lin's second uncle moved out of the old house directly, and spent all his time drinking in Zhuangzi except during the war.
If it wasn't for the glimmer of hope in his heart, he might have committed suicide long ago.
But it seems that it is better to die than to live like this.
According to Mrs. Lin's mother, the old lady seems to have regretted it a long time ago, but the incident has already happened. In order to prevent her daughter-in-law from waking up and identifying herself under the doctor's treatment, and destroying her mother-child relationship with her son, she can only continue to make mistakes .
Mrs. Lin: "...Didn't the old lady also watch my second aunt grow up? Why is she so cruel?"
She used to think that Lan Yun was already a very hateful mother-in-law, but compared with the old lady, she actually thought that Lan Yun was already a very good mother-in-law.
At least, Lan Yun won't harm her!
His mother sighed: "Who would have known that her dissatisfaction with her second sibling has reached such a level?"
When everyone is grateful to the second brother and sister and thinks that she saved the second brother, so even if the second brother decides that he will only have the second brother and sister in this life, will not touch other women and will not have children, although it is regrettable, it is not too much. What are you going to do.
After all, he is not the only son in the family, and his brother and brother have more than one son. When he is old, it is very simple to adopt a son under the name of any brother to take care of him.
The third child is not as capable as the second child, and even made an agreement with the eldest child, the second child, to adopt his second son to the second child.
Everyone thought that everyone acquiesced to the second child's decision.
Who would have thought...
Mrs. Lin had thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought that the truth about her second aunt's disappearance would be like this.
Thinking of the old lady's kindness in the past, she couldn't accept it at all.
But the truth is, she also...
She looked at her mother sadly: "What is Second Uncle going to do to the old lady and cousin?"
His mother paused, and said: "Your cousin is not the mastermind. All these years, your second aunt's survival is due to her delivering three meals a day, but... your second uncle has already escorted him to Beijing. A nunnery in the suburbs. As for the old lady...your second uncle wants to send her to Jingzhao Mansion, but the old lady is protecting her, so...we'll see when the time comes."
The old lady didn't have a few years to live, so what could they do with her?
Can't really let the old lady spend her last years in prison?
Mrs. Lin suddenly said: "That's why Second Uncle has that expression..."
His mother sighed and said nothing more.
The news that Mrs. Lin's second aunt, who had been lost for many years, was found, quickly spread throughout the capital like wings.
Lin Kou naturally also knew the news, and by the way, also learned the whole story from Zhen Fu.
Zhen Fu said while doing the question: "It is said that the second uncle of the eldest lady has moved out of the house with the second aunt, and now lives in Zhuangzi. Whether the second uncle is cooking, boiling medicine, or washing clothes, he can see his wife as soon as he turns around."
"I heard that her second aunt has recovered a lot under the care of her husband day and night, the wound has almost healed, and the scars on her face have almost faded under the effect of the expensive medicine he bought. She is still a little confused, but she is no longer afraid of the dark and insects, and according to the doctor General Lin invited for her, as long as she is treated properly, she may recover one day."
Lin Kou nodded: "For that general, this is the end of all hardships."
Zhen Fu encountered a difficult problem and lost his mind. When he was anxious, sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Lin Kou didn't hear the answer, turned her head to look, and immediately laughed.
Zhen Fu didn't have time to look at her, and tried to think back for a long time, finally knew the answer to this question, and immediately wrote the answer.
After finishing writing, recalling Lin Kou's previous words, he opened his mouth: "Who said it wasn't? I heard that the second son of the Zhao family made up his mind to quit drinking in order to take better care of his wife. Because he was too anxious, he almost killed himself. If It wasn't that the imperial physician was there at the time, I'm afraid he would have died. Later, under the guidance of the imperial physician, he gradually got rid of his alcohol addiction. Now that he is with his wife, I heard that the whole person's spirit is different. "
Lin Kou was curious: "Can quitting alcohol kill people?"
Zhen Fu paused for a moment with the quill in his hand, and then said: "The imperial doctor said that I used to drink too much, and my body has been used to drinking for a long time. Even if I want to quit drinking, I have to do it slowly. If I don't drink at all suddenly, just quit. If the body can't bear it, it may die suddenly."
After a pause, he added, "That's what the imperial doctor said, and I don't know if it's true or not."
Lin Kou nodded: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Among the people we know, there is no alcoholism at all."
Zhen Fu hummed vaguely, and continued to work on the questions.
Lin Kou laughed when he saw this, and suddenly knocked on the gong: "It's a quarter of noon, hurry up, it's time to eat!"
Zhen Fu became tense in an instant: "Okay, okay, I still have two questions to ask. Don't close the paper yet. It will be over in a while! Really, really, right away... It's done!"
Zhen Fu was in a hurry to answer the last two questions in a daze.
After answering, he put the pen on the table with a snap, and slumped on the chair as if sublimated: "Finally finished writing!"
Lin Kou held the test paper in front of him, picked up a pen and began to judge right from wrong.
After a while, she knew the answer: "This time is not bad. The accuracy rate of the questions reached 90.00%. Eight, I got two questions wrong."
Zhen Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped up from the chair: "I'm hungry, let's go eat!"
Lin Kou couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, today's lunch is Sichuan Jinsi Noodles, which are said to be the thinnest noodles in the world, and the noodles are firm and smooth, and the soup base is clear and rich, it is a rare delicacy .”
When Zhen Fu heard it, his stomach immediately sang a symphony.
Lin Kou laughed: "Let's go, I don't know if our chef's knife skills are good or not, and whether the golden noodles made are authentic."
Zhen Fu nodded seriously: "It must be very authentic!"
Mrs. Lin's matter has come to an end, and Mrs. Lin's regrets have also been successfully dissipated after meeting her former fiancé-to-be.
Her former fiancé didn't seem to have expected that Mrs. Lin had been entangled in this matter for so many years. After the conversation, she had to admit that Mrs. Lin was completely different from her weak mother, arrogant concubine, and many aunts who stirred up the flames. favorite.
She is a wonderful person.
If he hadn't revealed the news at the beginning, wouldn't it be...
He sadly expressed his regret to Mrs. Lin Er, but for some reason, Lin Meng who came back suddenly heard him.
Lin Meng exploded immediately, and directly fought with the opponent.
After a lot of persuasion by Mrs. Lin, the two of them were stopped and their misunderstandings were cleared up.
Only then did Lin Meng know that his wife had always felt that he was sorry for his ex-fiancé. If he hadn't known that the original misunderstanding had been resolved, he might have been able to fight with the other party on the spot.
After the matter of the two sister-in-laws ended, Lin Kou and Zhen Fu were once again immersed in the invigilation and examination.
Until, Daiyu sent an invitation letter to Lin Kou.
Lin Kou was taken aback after receiving the invitation letter: "Is there anything Daiyu wants to discuss with me? Just send someone a message. Why did you write an invitation letter so solemnly?"
The invitation only stated that it was a poetry meeting.
but……
Lin Kou is not self-deprecating, if she is asked to recite poems, she can still recite five, six, seven or eight poems. It is not impossible to survive the first round of playing games like Feihua Ling, but poetry?
Lin Kou shook his head resolutely.
The doggerel is more or less the same.
With the idea of finding out, Lin Kou directly sent four sets of test papers to Zhen Fu, asking him to stay at home to do the questions, while he went to Lin's house alone.
As soon as he arrived, Lin Kou was ushered into the garden by Xueyin who was guarding the door.
Then she discovered that today Daiyu not only invited herself, but also Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng, and even Xue Baochai.
Lin Kou paused, stepped forward to greet each other, and then looked at Daiyu: "You are still planning to hold a poetry meeting? What do you ask me to do on such an occasion?"
Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed: "It's a poetry meeting, but there are also business discussions."
She also knew that Lin Kou was not interested in the poetry meeting, so she said directly, "I invited my sister, Sister Bao, and Lian's second sister-in-law here today, and I want to ask your opinions on something."
After a pause, she said, "A few days ago, didn't Sister Li said that many people wanted to go further but couldn't find the way? I wondered if I could help them. There are so many books in the family, it is impossible for my father to allow me Those lent to irrelevant people can be copied and printed in bookstores.”
"There are also those test questions. Since my sister finds them useful, she must be able to help more people."
Lin Kou was stunned: "Do you want to sell your collection of books and test papers?"
Daiyu tilted her head: "Is it not possible? I have asked my parents, and they all said they have no objection. I also asked my elder sister, and she said that my brother-in-law has a set of movable type in his hand. If I really plan to print books and test papers, He will give it to me for nothing!"
