The Five Girls of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Lin Jing wrinkled her nose quite annoyed, did the old lady get dizzy?She looked at Mrs. Zhao helplessly, and Mrs. Zhao twitched the corners of her mouth, and quickly greeted people: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly carry the old lady back to the house." After carrying the old lady back to the house, Mrs. Zhao went to the old Beside the wife, among the people holding her hard, the old lady woke up faintly after a while.

The old lady groaned, her eyes were still a little dazed, and she came back to her senses after a while, pointing at Lin Jing with trembling fingers, her eyes seemed to have done something outrageous, which made Mrs. Zhao a little embarrassed, Twitching the corners of his mouth, "Old lady, what's the matter with you? But you're not feeling well? If you're not feeling well, just ask Du Lang to come. Our Lin family is raising him. There's no reason why you can't even look down on the old lady's body?"

The old lady hated secretly, this Mrs. Zhao has been in Lihuawu for a few years, her temperament is completely different, if she said something by herself before, she didn't even dare to fart, but now it's good, she didn't say a word , On the contrary, it provoked her to learn this lesson.

"Get out!" The old lady seemed to squeeze through her teeth, trembling all over.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes dimmed, but she didn't leave. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Old lady, yesterday the butler of Ping'an Lane came to greet my daughter-in-law, and said that their master and old lady will be here in three or four days. I want my daughter-in-law to go and have a look, and see if there is anything inappropriate." Seeing the old lady's ugly face, she continued: "The old ladies in our province don't like Ping'an Lane, but the old lady in Ping'an Lane is a daughter-in-law after all. My aunt is going to kowtow to pay her respects after all."

The old lady stared at Mrs. Zhao closely, her gaze was a little fierce, but Mrs. Zhao was not afraid, no matter how careful she was, the old lady still didn't like her if she didn't like her Yes, even if she has to be careful, so what can she do, so she finally figured it out, as long as she can protect her daughter, it doesn't matter to her whether the old lady likes them or not.

Mrs. Zhao just informed the old lady, and never thought of arguing for her to agree. Seeing the old lady staring at her, Mrs. Zhao stood up, saluted gracefully, and then took the old lady away.

Lin Jing turned her head to look at Zhao Shi's face, and seeing that she was not worried, she became happy again, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm going to my aunt's house too." She tilted her head and blinked, Asked suspiciously: "Mother, will my aunt like Jing'er?"

Zhao's heart ached, no matter where she went, her daughter would always ask if she would like her, her daughter was sensitive, in such a family, it was not a good thing for her daughter, so Zhao would want to Pain her more.

Mrs. Zhao touched her daughter's head, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Jing'er, your aunt will definitely like you."

Lin Jing clapped her hands happily and said, "If my aunt likes me, I'll play with my cousins." She was looking forward to her younger siblings.

Mrs. Zhao smiled, but she had no choice but to tell her: "Your cousin is a scholar, and he is not in good health. Don't take him to wield knives and guns. If he hurts his mother, I can't spare you?" I thought of my daughter's 'cruelty' towards Mu Ning.

Lin Jing stuck out her tongue, made a face, and said, "I don't know what happened to Ah Ning?"

"Don't worry, you said that Mu Shi is protecting him." Mrs. Zhao explained softly, "Mu Shi is the prince's son of Dongping County, and he won't be bullied if he wants to come to Aning, but... " Mrs. Zhao sighed, and then said: "It's just that you, Aunt Lan, may not have a good time." The mistress is spoiling the concubine, but she has a lot of means. It's not so easy to make a living under the mistress.

Lin Jing tilted her head, looked at Zhao Shi, and said, "A-Ning is very powerful, he will not allow anyone to bully Aunt Lan."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, and didn't want to say anything else to her. This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Even if Aning is powerful, his aunt is not an ordinary person, but the daughter of the queen mother is more than a saint. What can Aning do if he is still a hardcore person despite his identity?

On this day, the weather was just right, and even the rainy days cleared up. Lin Jing stood beside Zhao Shi, looking at the slowly approaching carriage with a little curiosity, blinking her eyes, "Is that the carriage of my aunt?" She squinted her eyes, and not far in front of the carriage was an elegant man in a silk shirt, "Is the one riding the horse uncle?"

Butler Ping An's eyes became slits with a smile, "Isn't it our master?" He accused the two of them, but he led the people down the steps to meet them. Under the leadership of the big housekeeper, Qiqi kowtowed to the old lady and others.

Lin Ruhai helped Mother Lin get out of the carriage, and then Mrs. Zhao stepped forward and said with a smile, "Greetings to Auntie." He pursed his lips and looked at Lin Ruhai before saying, "Greetings to Cousin."

Lin Ruhai nodded, showing no expression on her face, but Mother Lin smiled and took Zhao Shi's hand, saying: "Good boy, I feel at ease seeing you now." There were tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry for you." She was only sad for this niece, who was such a good girl, but was ruined by her brother's so-called old love.

"Mother, don't hurt yourself. With mother here, my cousin's good life will come later." A woman stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Yes." Mother Lin sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then pulled Mrs. Zhao and said, "Come on, I have never seen her in Beijing before. This is your cousin Mrs. Jia." Jia Min said: "This is what I often call my niece."

After the two greeted each other, Lin Ruhai said, "Mother, let's go in first."

Mrs. Zhao quickly said: "Look at me, I'm really confused. My aunt has been exhausted all the way, so she hurried back to the house to rest. The kitchen has already prepared food, and my aunt will go to rest after eating." Smiling, he said: "I heard that my aunt didn't bring a doctor along the way, so I invited Langzhong Li from Ji Shitang to show it to my aunt, cousins, young masters and girls. It's also good."

"You have a heart." Mother Lin patted the back of Zhao Shi's hand and said warmly, Zhao Shi smiled and shook her head.

Back in the main hall, Mrs. Zhao pulled Lin Jing to salute everyone. Lin Jing was obedient and did not cause any trouble. It was only when she saw the cousins ​​whom Mrs. Zhao had been talking about, Lin Jing let out a light sigh. The girl did have some background, but it was just a plant of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, and Lin Jing didn't take it to heart. She looked at it interestingly for a while, and then she couldn't help sighing that such a weak posture was no different from her body. It's just that her fate doesn't seem to be very smooth.

Lin Jing blinked her eyes, the marriage line in that girl's hand was actually illusory, most of these fates ended without a cause, maybe they even ended up in death, but it didn't have much to do with Lin Jing, I guess it was just a disaster in the world .

Lin Daiyu is only a five-year-old girl, with a slender figure, thin and small, her eye sockets are a little blue due to long-distance fatigue, and she seems to have some deficiencies. She took another look and was hugged by the nanny The child's eyes are black and bright, and now he is staring at Lin Jing with piercing eyes, thumping in the arms of the nanny. Lin Jing looked at Yile, pointed at the child, and said with a smile: "Will you Let him put it down, he doesn't want to hold it."

This son is Lin Ruhai's three-year-old son, named Mo Yu, who is round and very cute.

Mother Lin glanced at it, and said with a smile: "This kid is monkey-like, and he can't sit still. I'm afraid he'll be bored by now."

The nanny said something jokingly, and then put Lin Moyu on the ground. Lin Jing looked at the ball curiously, and after a long while, she looked at Mrs. Zhao with bright eyes, and said, "Mother, cousin is really soft." As he spoke, he pinched Xiaotuanzi's cheeks with his hands, his eyes were very bright.

The corner of Zhao's mouth twitched, not knowing how to reply, but Mother Lin laughed out loud, pointed at Lin Jing and said happily to Zhao: "This child is simple-minded, you have raised him very well."

Jia Min had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, this is not simple-minded, it is simply a little lack of understanding.

Tuanzi ran to Lin Jing, hugged her leg and looked up at her eagerly, "Tang..."

Lin Jing's complexion turned black, she quickly covered her purse, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a nougat, carefully peeking at Zhao's expression, this nougat was bought by herself in the street market secretly, who would have thought Lin Jing was slightly annoyed that this little guy was found out.

Mrs. Zhao shook her head amusedly, she only thought that her daughter was careful because she hid candy secretly, but she never thought that it was her daughter who sneaked out.

Jia Min was also a little funny, she just covered her lower lip and smiled lightly.

After they talked for a while, Mother Lin sent them out and left Mrs. Zhao alone. Lin Jing looked at Mrs. Zhao's face with sorrowful eyes, but she secretly hid behind the door.

After the people left, Mrs. Zhao wiped the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Auntie, the people who were sent to Yunnan this year have not returned yet. This summer, I heard that there is a lot of rain over there, and many land boundaries have been destroyed by muddy water. It fell down in a large area and crushed many houses. I was worried and asked people to look at it, but I heard that the road was blocked before, but now the road is gone, and I don’t know what’s going on inside." She said I couldn't help crying, "Mother is getting old, and my sister-in-law is not feeling well. Now that something like this has happened, I don't know..."

Lin Jing pursed her lips, but at this moment, she heard a child's voice, but it was Daiyu, with a smile on her face, she whispered: "Sister, come with me." She looked at Mrs. Zhao, He sighed softly: "My cousin wants to come, but I don't want my sister to hear." She also heard about it.

Lin Jing nodded, and quietly left behind Daiyu.

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Jing said, "Thank you." She turned her head and looked at Daiyu, thinking to herself, this fairy grass looks so beautiful, although she is still young, she can look at her Just Tingting, that kind of immortal temperament really makes Lin Jing envious.

Thinking about herself again, she felt quite annoyed, she had only grown to the size she is now, but she could no longer grow, but she only felt cute when she looked at her, there was no ethereal temperament in her chubby face, looking at her Daiyu couldn't help complaining: "You are so skinny, a child should eat round, so cute." Seeing Daiyu's wide-eyed eyes, she couldn't help pointing and stumbling in this direction Mo Yu rushed over, "Here, you should be like Mo Yu's younger brother, he's fleshy, so cute." After speaking, he gave Dai Yu a disgusted look, and took out a piece of rose cake from his purse, Handed it to her and said: "I'll eat it for you. If you eat fatter, you will be in good health." She pointed to Daiyu and then to herself, "I look in good health, and I will eat more food in the future. You have to eat three bowls of rice every meal!"

Daiyu knew she was well intentioned, so she didn't feel angry, she smiled, "I thought so too, but it's a weak disease from birth, and I started taking medicine when I was able to eat, and many doctors have seen it too. , but it’s not likely to be used.” Her brows were quite dark, obviously very sad.

Lin Jing thought for a while, then took out the whip and handed it over, saying: "Hold here." Seeing Daiyu do so, Lin Jing closed her eyes slightly, but it was clear from the past, Lin Jing opened her eyes, closed her eyes, She pursed her lips, her eyes were a bit complicated, but this matter was a bit difficult to handle. This fairy grass is different from her, but she voluntarily followed the waiter of Shenying to repay her kindness in the next life. If she did not repay this kindness, she would owe Knowing cause and effect, it will hinder her future practice.

Repay this kindness with the tears of my life.

Lin Jing sighed, this is really the kindness of a drop of water that should be repaid by the spring. Lin Jing thought for a while and said: "Although your body is weak, you can walk more on weekdays, practice some health-preserving fists and feet, and take care of yourself." It's not incurable." She thought that since she wanted to repay her kindness with tears all her life, she must have a healthy body, right?If the body is soft and weak, there is no way to repay the favor, right?

She was a little curious about who the Shenying waiter was, and she actually asked the fairy grass to repay her kindness with tears.

Lin Jing has never shed tears, maybe she has no such thing as tears at all, even if she becomes a human, she never finds that she has shed tears, she thinks, maybe even if she becomes a human, she still has not changed in her core Bar.

This made Lin Jing inevitably a little sad.

"Really?" Xiao Daiyu asked in surprise, "Is there really such a punch?"

Lin Jing just came back to her senses, nodded and said: "Yes, you can nourish your body and nourish your energy. I learned it from Master Jing'an in Lihuawu." She thought for a while and said: "Master Jing'an can also To see a doctor, you can go to live in Lihuawu when the time comes, and let the teacher take care of you."

The look in Lin Daiyu's eyes dimmed a little, and she said: "Master, she has a noble status, so how dare you bother her old man."

"It's not in the way." Lin Jing chuckled, then waved her hand and said: "The teacher is very kind, I can teach you fists and feet first, and after you learn the fists and feet, I will ask the teacher to feel your pulse."

Lin Daiyu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes." Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she grinned and said, "Can my sister know how to punch?"

"That's natural!" Lin Jing raised her head and said, "I'm very good!"

"I really don't feel ashamed, how can anyone say that they are amazing." Lin Moyu curled her lips and said deliberately.

Lin Jing didn't talk nonsense with him, snorted and punched a set of punches in the small garden. It was not as fluffy as an embroidered pillow. This made Lin Moyu's eyes widen in surprise, quite a bit Dumbfounded.

Lin Jing smiled triumphantly, and said, "How is it?" She looked at Lin Moyu's fleshy little body and curled her lips, "Just like you, I can beat you ten times!"

Lin Moyu's eyes were bright, and he pestered Lin Jing and said, "Sister, good sister, can you teach me?" He hugged Lin Jing's thigh very unscrupulously.

The nanny hurriedly stepped forward, muttering: "My ancestor, you are going to study for the number one scholar. How can you learn from these vulgar people who punch and kick, and they don't have to lose their status." She is Jia Min Cong's daughter-in-law from the Rongguo Mansion has some face. The Lin family is in decline, and her own lady enters the palace to be a nobleman. Now she is married to the declining Lin family, and she feels very sorry for the young lady.

Lin Jing's face darkened, she pointed at her and said angrily, "Who are you scolding?"

The nanny's surname was Gao, and she had a lot of face in front of Jia Min. When she heard Lin Jing's question, she felt a little impatient, and she gave an apologetic laugh, so she didn't plan to talk to her.

Lin Daiyu looked shameless, so she showed it on the face, but Nanny Gao was a capable person around her mother, and she was married from Jia's family, so even her father wanted to give him some face, she couldn't bear it. Refreshingly, he just said: "Sister, don't say that, or you won't be able to get to your mother."

Nanny Gao said aggrievedly: "Girl, our uncle is going to take the imperial examination to become an official in the future, why bother to learn the fists and feet of these three-legged cats, there is no need to waste time." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Jing, feeling a little dissatisfied Xi, it's just a young lady who has settled down, and now she has climbed into the Lin family, not to mention currying favor with the little master, but it's okay to lecture her, she is really capable.

What's more, the master and this Zhao family, cousins, she feels uncomfortable no matter how she looks at it. She has heard that the old lady had a fancy to her niece to be the master's wife before, but she just heard that the niece Married to someone else, that's all.

Thinking about it now, isn't it the Zhao family?

Therefore, when she saw Zhao's daughter, Madam Gao felt uncomfortable.

Lin Jing snorted, raised her eyebrows and said, "I've always repaid kindness and revenge, I'll write down what you said today, don't let me meet you in the future, otherwise I will hit you every time I see you." Lin Jing squinted She squinted her eyes, and she had a fierce aura about her, which was very different from Zhao's gentle and weak temperament.

Grandma Gao was taken aback, she was furious, and slapped her leg, "Hey, look at what the girl said, how can a well-bred girl say it, this mother doesn't know how to teach it , which of the girls would shout and shout for death?"

Lin Jing's eyes were gloomy, she was not one to hold back her anger, Madam Gao didn't like her, and she didn't like her mother either, she could tell at a glance, although she didn't know the reason, but before Mrs. Zhao came, she warned her Wan asked her not to cause trouble, she had already agreed, and it would definitely not be in her nature to endure it now.

"You are really noisy." Lin Jing said lightly.

"Jing'er!" Mrs. Zhao walked over quickly, and Mrs. Lin stood there with an ugly expression. Mrs. Zhao hugged Lin Jing, stroked her back, and whispered, "Don't forget to promise your mother."

Lin Jing pouted and snorted dissatisfiedly, but didn't do anything more.

After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Zhao came to Mother Lin's side, twitched the corners of her lips, and said, "Auntie is really tired all the way, Jing'er and I will go back first, and we will pay auntie another day."

Mother Lin looked slightly relaxed, nodded, and said: "It's okay, everything is wrong now, it's messy, and I have to take a break." She took Zhao's hand, sighed softly, and said: "Let you Look at the joke."

Mrs. Zhao shook her head gently, but did not speak.

Knowing her temperament, Mother Lin sighed, took Lin Jing's hand, took off a bracelet from her wrist, and said, "Girl Jing, this bracelet is my aunt's apology, you are a good boy."

Lin Jing took a look at Mrs. Zhao, and then took the bracelet. After Mrs. Zhao took Lin Jing to salute Mrs. Lin, she left her aunt's house.

Mrs. Zhao touched her daughter's head, chuckled lightly, and said, "Jing'er is still angry?"

"No." Lin Jing curled her lips, turned her head to look at Zhao Shi, and said, "I can see that my aunt really likes mother, and also likes Jing'er." Pursing her lips, she said again: "Then Grandma Gao is just a slave, why does my aunt hold back her anger?"

Mrs. Zhao sighed softly before explaining in a warm voice: "Then Nanny Gao is your cousin's dowry, so she has some face, otherwise she wouldn't have let Nanny Gao take care of Brother Mo's yard. She paused for a moment, and then said again: "Even if you really want to deal with Nanny Gao, you still need your aunt and aunt to do it yourself. In my eyes, your cousin's uncle failed to become a noble, and his family is a bit weak, but your cousin's aunt was born in the Rongguo Mansion, and her mother is the daughter of the Jinling Wang family, so it is a low marriage to the Lin family with such a background."

"So your aunt always considers your cousin's face when doing things." Mrs. Zhao touched Lin Jing's cheek, sighed softly, and said, "It's all because of my mother's incompetence. I'm afraid Jing'er's marriage will be difficult in the future." It's going to be difficult."

Lin Jing's face was a little weird, and the corners of her mouth twitched, marriage?For her, this thing couldn't be easier, but can her red line bring her a marriage?This really has not been tried.

That cousin didn't care about the high-sister Lin Jing in the future. At the aunt's house, because she promised Zhao that she would not make trouble, she endured it. But Lin Jing was never the one who suffered, so she was in the market. Seeing Nanny Gao carrying an oiled paper bag, Lin Jing rolled her eyes and followed.

Nanny Gao likes to gamble for money and drink on weekdays, but today she won money playing cards with a few little hooves, so she took advantage of the time to go shopping, bought a roast goose and drank some wine, and was about to Going back to the mansion, she didn't want to always feel that someone was following her, which made Mammy Gao a little suspicious, and couldn't help but quicken her pace a lot.

Lin Jing didn't plan to sneak around. At her age, no one would believe her even if she went to sue her.

If it is known that the girl from the Lin family has sneaked into the street, others don't know what to think about the Lin family's house. Even a girl of a few years old can sneak out. After being implicated, even Ping An Lane would never allow such a thing to happen.

When no one was around, Lin Jing appeared in front of Nanny Gao openly, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "Isn't it quite easy to talk a few days ago? How can you be like someone whose mouth was sawed off today?" Like a gourd, without making a sound?"

Nanny Gao raised her eyebrows, "Miss Lin?" Her face was full of resentment, as if Lin Jing owed her a lot of money, "Why did you stop this old slave today?"

"I said that I saw you hit me once, but you seem to have forgotten." Lin Jing curled her lips and walked to Gao Nanny's side. She was short, but she couldn't hold back her ferociousness, and kicked Gao Nanny's knee, He directly kicked the nanny down to his knees, ignored her pig-killing howls, punched her around the eyes, snorted, and said, "I'll let you scold me!"

She squeezed Nanny Gao's mouth, stuffed a mung bean-sized ball directly into her mouth, and said, "Has anyone ever told you that you are really too noisy?"

Seeing Nanny Gao scratching her throat hard, her face turned pale with fright, Lin Jing was in a good mood, "You remember it clearly, don't offend me, or I'll make you look good!" She clapped her hands and walked away.

Gao Momo didn't know what she stuffed herself, she just squeezed her throat hard, and even spit out the bile, but she still felt hairy and uncomfortable everywhere, even her stomach seemed to start to hurt, Gao Momo Fear flashed in her eyes, and there was some hatred, she would never forgive this little, cheap, person!

But Lin Jing, who is small, cheap, and human, was in a good mood after she taught Madam Gao a lesson. In fact, the pills were just the crumbs of a snack she made. Mammy's life can be evened out with a kick and a punch, but she just wants to scare that arrogant guy.

Thinking of how frightened Nanny Gao was scratching her throat, Lin Jing was quite proud and burst out laughing.

After walking for a while, Lin Jing stopped laughing, turned her head to look at a slightly embarrassed young man, frowned, and asked, "Who are you and why are you following me?" The young man's clothes were rotten, as if She was like a beggar, but her eyes were dark and bright.

The young man didn't seem to expect that she would ask a question suddenly, and said to him from left to right, "Why did I ever follow you?"

Lin Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Don't coax me. You have been wandering around the door of Lin's house as early as a month ago. Whenever I go out, you follow me secretly. Why are you looking for me?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, seeming to be a little worried, "You found out? Why didn't you send someone to arrest me?"

"You didn't harm me, so why did I arrest you?" Lin Jing looked at him wonderingly. Although the young man followed her all the time, there was no malicious intent in those eyes.

The young man pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My name is Zhao Ziming."

Lin Jing opened her eyes wide in surprise, walked up to the young man, looked at him carefully for a moment, and then said, "Hold out your hand and let me have a look." Zhao Ziming was not surprised, and silently followed suit.

Lin Jing tore open his sleeve and saw a hideous wound on his right arm. She heard from her mother that her uncle and the others were in Yunnan. Because there were many mountains and forests, and there were many poisonous insects in the forest, my cousin would not He was even bitten on the arm by a poisonous snake, and almost died. Later, he was rescued by the old doctor in the village, but there was indeed a hideous wound on his arm.

"Come with me." Lin Jing stared at Zhao Ziming for a while, and knew that he should be the cousin her mother had been looking for, and she could not be mistaken about this.

Zhao Ziming was surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you believe me?"

"Should I not believe you?" Lin Jing asked back.

Zhao Ziming was silent.

Lin Jing chuckled and said, "I'm going to let my mother see, right? If you're not my cousin, I'll kick you out." Anyway, it doesn't affect anything.

"..." Zhao Ziming twitched the corner of his mouth, "OK."

When she was about to reach the Lin Mansion, Lin Jing stopped suddenly, scratched her head in distress, and said, "Uh, how about you call the door later, and then I will come to the door to pick you up." She suddenly Thinking that she came out secretly, if she went back in such a blatant manner, she might be discovered by someone, so Lin Jing made this request.

Zhao Ziming secretly observed Lin's residence for a long time, and he naturally understood the situation, so he nodded silently.

"I'm warning you." Lin Jing clenched her fists in a bluffing manner, but she was a little guilty, she didn't dare to look at her, and said fiercely: "When you see my mother, don't talk too much, or you will look good."

Zhao Ziming glanced at her lightly and nodded.

Only then did Lin Jing feel relieved, and explained with a guilty conscience: "I didn't mean to scare you, you want you to be good, and I won't bully you." She always pays attention to reasoning, and Zhao Ziming has never offended her. She, therefore, Lin Jingji, he felt quite embarrassed.

Zhao Ziming nodded, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

After Lin Jing returned home, she didn't go to see Mrs. Zhao, she just called Shang Dongqing, took advantage of the second door not paying attention, and sneaked out, even if a woman saw it, Lin Jing happily rushed over, the woman The son didn't even touch the corner of Lin Jing's clothes. The noise caused Lin Jiaping to come out of the study in the front yard with a livid face. He was followed by a middle-aged man with a mustache, dressed in common clothes and white shirt. It looks very elegant.

Lin Jiaping said angrily: "What is this for?" He was almost pissed off, Erfang, this girl was usually rebellious and disobedient, and she never saluted him when she saw him, even if she saluted, it was always perfunctory What happened, instead of staying in the backyard, he actually made a fuss in the front yard, and made Mr. Cai see a joke. He quickly cupped his hands at the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. laughed."

Lin Jing saluted obediently, and then said: "Uncle, I saw someone calling at the door just now, but I was stopped by the porter and opened his mouth to swear." She pouted, feeling quite innocent, "I read from the book that it is said that it is the family education of the master of the mansion, which is often reflected in the concierge. If the master's family is strict in family education and is a family of scholarly etiquette, the concierge will not dare to look like a dog because of the master's attitude. People are low, look at people through the crack of the door." With a pair of lovely dimples hanging from the corners of her mouth, she said with a smile, "The other way around."

Lin Jiaping was furious, but due to the presence of outsiders, he had to hold back, "Our Lin family's scholarly heirloom, naturally such a thing will not happen." As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Mr. Cai.

Mr. Cai chuckled, and said: "The century-old Lin family, Cai certainly believes in Master Lin."

Only then did Lin Jiaping feel relieved, he frowned, and said, "Go to the porter to see what's going on?"

The boy came very quickly, and reported the matter under Lin Jiaping's signal. He only said that he was a beggar, that he was the second wife's nephew, but he didn't have any identity documents. If there is no evidence, just send it out, why waste time?"

Lin Jing raised her eyebrows subconsciously when she heard this.

On the contrary, Mr. Cai gave Lin Jing an interesting look, and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Lin, whether it is true or not, just call the young man in and let the second wife of the family take a look, and the truth will be revealed. "

Lin Jiaping's complexion was a little ugly. A beggar said he was here to recognize his relatives. This joke was a big joke. Mr. Cai looked at such an unworthy relative. The anger in Lin Jiaping's heart can be imagined , but Mr. Cai said this, but he had to smile a little, "Mr. Cai is very right." After saying that, someone invited Zhao Ziming in.

That Mr. Cai didn't stay much, and Lin Jing didn't like the way Mr. Cai looked at her. She always felt weird, but she didn't take it to heart. As long as Zhao Ziming came in, other things didn't have much to do with her.

Zhao Ziming's identity is naturally beyond doubt. When Zhao Shi saw Zhao Ziming, her eye circles were red immediately. Seeing her nephew's current appearance, she was quite distressed, and she hugged Zhao Ziming and cried for a while before giving up.

Zhao Ziming's nose was a little sore, but he resisted it, pursed his lips, and said, "My father and mother have gone, and mud and water mixed with stones rolled down the mountain, and my family was buried under it in an instant. I was studying with my master. I was never at home, so I escaped a catastrophe." He knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhao, and took out an embroidered handkerchief from his arms after a long while, only to see that the embroidered handkerchief was stained with blood, and the blood that had dried up made Mrs. Zhao Feeling dizzy, she took the embroidered handkerchief from Zhao Ziming with trembling fingers, but it was written in blood.

Mrs. Zhao broke down in tears. The bloody book written on the embroidered handkerchief was written by her sister-in-law. She only said that Mrs. Zhao could take care of her nephew.

Zhao Ziming pursed his lips, with tears in his eyes, but tried not to let them fall, and said: "Mother was half buried in the mud for two days, but the mountain road was washed away, and it was impossible to get through." Zhao Ziming's tears still fell after all. Come, silently, but just looking at it made people feel sad, Lin Jing only felt uncomfortable in her heart, she remained silent, and only leaned tightly by Zhao Shi's side.

"When I found my mother, she was already extremely weak. When she was dying, let me look for my aunt." Zhao Ziming turned his head sideways, not wanting his aunt and cousin to see his weakness.

Mrs. Zhao hugged Zhao Ziming, crying uncontrollably, for her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and the nieces who had died long ago, maybe even Zhao Ziming. Who did the Zhao family offend? Is this retribution?

Mrs. Zhao didn't know, at the moment she just felt tired and unwilling, even if it was retribution, it was enough, the Zhao family had a hundred lives to repay the debt, it was enough.

Seeing Zhao's crying in despair, Lin Jing couldn't help hugging her mother, she couldn't explain how she felt, she just said: "Mother, don't cry, you still have Jing'er, and cousin, we will work together in the future But, no one can bully us anymore, okay?"

Only then did Mrs. Zhao slowly stop her tears. She hugged her daughter and nephew, suppressed her tears, nodded, her voice was dry, "Okay." She paused, and said, "No one will can bully us."

Zhao's temperament is gentle and weak, and she has never even spoken loudly, but she has a kind of resilience in her bones. No matter how hard or tired she is, she is not afraid. The more sad she is, she can always cheer up again. Forcibly marrying Lin Jiaquan, and then her father died, Zhao's family ransacked and exiled, Zhao has never complained, nor has she ever disliked it, she accepts the arrangement of fate meekly, but at this moment, Zhao feels that her forbearance, her What she got in return was not gratitude from others, but ridicule again and again.

Whether it is the master or the husband of the academy, they are all from famous families, and their knowledge is not bad. If you can enter Xishan Academy, you can also go to Xishan Academy. It is equivalent to getting acquainted with a lot of contacts in advance, and there will be great benefits in becoming an official in the court in the future." Zhao said nothing, and pondered for a moment before saying: "But if you want to enter Xishan Academy, most of them need the recommendation of great Confucianism, even the quota There are restrictions. If the Zhao family..." Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "It is impossible to enter Xishan Academy now." The Lin family is a Gusu family, and when Xishan Academy was opened, the ancestors of the Lin family also supported it However, the Lin family has a quota, but Mrs. Zhao also understands that it is impossible for the Lin family to transfer this quota to Ziming.

Lin Jing shook her head regretfully, and said, "I heard that my aunt wants to let you
