The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

"When Ayao came to our house with Mrs. Lin last time, sister-in-law and you went to her mother's house, so I didn't see you. Master Lin's son Lin Yao and I are good friends now, so Ayao came to celebrate my birthday." Gu Zhen did not say that he forced Lin Yao to come.

Li Yunling knew the whole story from her mother-in-law a long time ago, so she didn't believe Gu Zhen's explanation, but she didn't expose him. She just smiled and said, "Ah Zhen, you are the oldest, take good care of Uncle Lin and Miss Lin. To be too naughty."

Li Yunling is very clear about this little uncle's temperament, if no one cares about him, he can go to heaven.

"I see, sister-in-law."

Gu Zhen responded in a hurry, and hurriedly took Lin Yao and the others back to his own Hehuai courtyard.

"I'm scared to death. I didn't expect to meet my sister-in-law." Gu Zhen, who had just returned to his yard, patted his chest and said.

Lin Yao laughed, "Why do you seem to be afraid of your sister-in-law?"

"You don't know how powerful my sister-in-law is." Gu Zhen said.

Lin Yao felt strange when she heard the words, "Awesome? But I saw that Mrs. Gu is very gentle."

These words made Gu Zhen's expression froze, he stared at Lin Yao for a while, and then said with a bitter face, "I didn't lie to you, forget it, let's not talk about it, I had some fun a few days ago You pick and choose with me, and take it when you go back," said, without waiting for Lin Yao to reply, she said to her sister, "Lan'er, just stay in the room with your sister Lin and don't run around. Whatever you want, just tell Miao Zhu and Miao Ling to do it."

"I see, Second Brother." Miss Gu responded crisply, pulling Daiyu to leave, Daiyu was pulled, and looked at Lin Yao in a panic, Lin Yao smiled and nodded at her, Daiyu Only then did she feel a little relieved and followed the girl from the Gu family to the next door.

Daiyu was staying with the little girl from the Gu family, and there were some maids watching. Lin Yao had nothing to worry about, not to mention that he was in the next room, so he could rush over there as soon as there was any movement.

Gu Zhen saw the eyebrows and eyebrows lawsuit between the two brothers and sisters, and felt a little funny in his heart. After Daiyu and his sister entered the next door, he whispered, "My sister is only five years old, and she is a few months younger than Sister Lin. You Are you still afraid that my sister will eat your sister?"

Lin Yao turned her head and said to Gu Zhen, "Ah Zhen, I'm sorry, my sister doesn't come out often, she's a bit unfamiliar. Although I've met Lingmei once, I'm not familiar with her. I'm not by her side. How much does she know?" A little uneasy."

"I don't blame you," Gu Zhen said with a smile, "I just think that the relationship between you brothers and sisters is really good, and you are no different from me and my sister. It can be seen that you are really good to her, otherwise she I won't be so attached to you."

Lin Yao and Daiyu are not close blood relatives, they are just adopted elder brothers, and Daiyu's closeness to Lin Yao is better than biological siblings. This is obviously because Lin Yao treats Daiyu very well, no doubt about it.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "She is my younger sister, and I should treat her well."

Gu Zhen also laughed, but didn't respond.

Even brothers and sisters who are direct relatives sometimes turn against each other. How can there be such a saying that it is right to be nice to a younger sister?It's just Lin Yao's modest excuse, Lin Yao has a kind heart.

But yes, if Lin Yao had no merits, the master of the Lin family would not choose him as his adoptive.

"Don't talk about that, come with me." Gu Zhen pulled Lin Yao into the room, rummaged through the box for a long time, and found a box. After opening, it was full of small items, most of which were bought at stalls.

Like a rattle or something.

"What are you collecting these things for?" Lin Yao twitched the corner of her mouth.

When I came back to Gu's house last time, Gu Zhen just took him to run around, and didn't bring him to play in his own house. Now that I came back to the house, I didn't expect to find such a box of... street stalls.

With a family like the Gu family, Gu Zhen doesn't lack anything, so why collect them?

"There are many small vendors in the back alley of our house. Sometimes when I go out the back door, I will see them selling these things. Thinking that their lives are not easy, I just bought some and brought them back. It can be regarded as giving them more income." Gu Zhen explained.

Lin Yao was startled, and the amused feeling in her heart was replaced by surprise. Gu Zhen is only nine years old, right?Do you have the thought of caring about the suffering of people's livelihood?

What was he doing when he was nine years old?Looks like I'm still watching cartoons...

Really ashamed.

"Don't think these things are cheap. Most of them are made by these vendors themselves. They are small and exquisite, and they are quite good."

Lin Yao said, "I don't mean to be disgusted, I just feel sorry for your intentions, I never thought about it."

"You're still young, so you just started reading, right? I didn't expect these things to be nothing. If you go out more often, you will do the same." Gu Zhen comforted with a smile, afraid that Lin Yao would think too much.

Lin Yao is noncommittal, he goes out more often, and when he sees other people in trouble, he will help them, but for these small businessmen, he doesn't necessarily think that their life is not easy.

After playing with Gu Zhen for an hour or two, someone came to invite them to the main courtyard.

After eating in Gu's residence, Lin Yao took Daiyu to leave after staying for a while.

After boarding the carriage home, Lin Yao kept thinking on the way home.

He seemed to think of the ancient children too simply, and today he got to know Gu Zhen again.

Daiyu kept whispering in his ears how cute and smart the younger sister of the Gu family was, Lin Yao only smiled and echoed a few words, when suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, both Lin Yao and Daiyu leaned back and hit the back of their heads, Daiyu hurt Yes, the eye sockets are red.

After all, Lin Yao was not a real child, but she couldn't bear it. He rubbed the back of Daiyu's head and asked outside, "What's going on?!"

The next moment, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Xu Zhang approached and said, "Master, there is an accident ahead, blocking the road."

"What happened?" Lin Yao asked.

Xu Zhangdao, "I've already asked someone to ask."

After a while, it seemed that the person came back, Xu Zhang put down the curtain of the car, and after a while, Xu Zhang came back again, lifted the curtain and said, "Master, there is a man in front who is beating his daughter, but the little girl is crying and beating him." The person is not his father."

Lin Yao paused, then turned her head and said, "A kidnapper?"

Xu Zhang was taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Yao to have such a reaction, he thought for a while, and said, "I don't know."

Lin Yao pondered for a moment, and said, "I would rather catch the wrongdoer than let it go, and send someone to report to the officials to stop the 'father and daughter' pair."

Xu Zhang didn't expect Lin Yao to take care of it, and was taken aback for a while, but quickly realized, and replied, "Hey, I'll do it now."

Daiyu's eyes were red from the pain before, when she suddenly heard the kidnapper, she forgot the pain for a while, and asked, "Brother, have you met the kidnapper?"

"I don't know yet, but since the little girl who was beaten said that the person who beat her was not her father, it is likely to be a kidnapper. I heard that some kidnappers specialize in abducting children of a few years old, locking them in a place to raise them, and then Take them to other places to sell, these children are all abducted, and you can imagine what kind of life they live."

Kidnappers are the kind of people that people hate very much in ancient and modern times. Abducting a child can tear up a family, which is really hateful.

Therefore, when Lin Yao heard that he might be a kidnapper, she didn't do any research and directly asked someone to report to the official.

If it is fake, the report to the official will always let the beating man know that he is afraid. After all, the people in this era are afraid of seeing the official, but it is hard to say whether he will make a change. Domestic violence is difficult to contain in this era. Well, people think that it is only natural for a father to beat a child, and it should be beaten to death.

If it is really a kidnapper, he has done a good deed.

After a while, Xu Zhang came back to report, "I have sent people to the Yamen to report to the officials according to the uncle's order, and the father and daughter have also stopped them. Now they can go back to the house."

Lin Yao shook her head when she heard the words, "Don't go back to the mansion yet, since we met, it's also fate, we'll talk about it when the people from the manor house come," she paused and said, "Bring the father and daughter over for me to see .”

Xu Zhang didn't expect Lin Yao to see the father and daughter again, so he hesitated for a moment.

His hesitation naturally caught Lin Yao's attention, and Lin Yao looked at him, "Mr. Xu?"

"Ah?" Xu Zhang came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Oh, villain, let someone bring them here."

Not long ago, the master and wife each made up the people who served Lin Yao.

Xu Zhang is a fine person, so he naturally knew clearly that this was a clear signal, and his wife accepted Lin Yao's son's signal.

That is to say, Lin Yao has become the real master and son of the Lin family. He is the chief manager of the mansion. There is nothing wrong with him, but a servant is a servant, and a master is a master. He has to keep his eyes open. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no place to gain a foothold in the Lin Mansion.

Soon, the father and daughter were brought to the carriage. Lin Yao raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw a tall and thin man wearing coarse linen clothes. Although the little girl beside him was also wearing coarse linen clothes, her appearance was There is no resemblance to this man at all, and there is a rouge mole the size of a grain of rice in the center of his eyebrows.

How could such a beauty be this man's daughter?

Unless he married a beautiful wife and gave birth to him such a beautiful daughter, but with this man's appearance, what kind of beautiful wife can he marry?

"Young master, I really didn't expect this villain to block your car, so I'll take my daughter away..." As the man spoke, he was about to reach out to grab the little girl beside him, but the little girl ran away in fright.

Seeing this man, he became even more anxious, "Damn girl, you are not obedient, you are blocking the nobleman's way, hurry back with me!"

Lin Yao could see the panic from the man's expression, and the initial suspicion in his heart had expanded to nearly ten percent.

"Stop him!" Lin Yao yelled, and two servants stepped forward to stop the man. The little girl was smart, she immediately hid behind the two servants when she saw someone helping her, her body was still trembling slightly because of fear .

When the man was stopped, his expression froze. Even though Lin Yao was a child, he didn't dare to be arrogant, and said with a smile, "Master..."

"You said she was your daughter?" Lin Yao asked coldly.
