"but--"

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Qinglan is always glamorous, domineering and deliberate, and only in front of the Liu Clan will she show some of her little daughter's weak posture.She clutched Liu's and asked urgently: "Daddy didn't embarrass you, right?"

Liu Shiqiang put on a smile and comforted his daughter, "There must be some complaints, but after all, I have been the mistress of the Lin family for so many years. Apart from this matter, I haven't done anything else to pick. Your father is angry. Yes, but it shouldn't make you embarrassed. Even if you don't look at the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, it still depends on the face of you and your brother."

"That's it, that's it." Lin Qinglan murmured a few words, wiped her tears hurriedly, and called a close-fitting maid to tidy up her appearance, before hurriedly said: "Mother, I still have something to do. At home, if Daddy gets angry, you can bear it a little bit. I will see you again in two days."

How could the Liu family not know that her daughter came back with her husband's back on her back, a decent family like Zhongyong Bo's house, if the Lin family made such a joke, they would definitely detain their daughter-in-law back to her family's home.

"Mother, it's okay, you go back quickly, I will bring you a letter if you have anything, don't come home these days, lest you get tired."

Lin Qinglan nodded and hurriedly came and left.

When her daughter was gone, the Liu family showed a weak look. Lin Qinglan came in hastily and worried, she didn't notice that Liu's face was haggard.Eye circles are puffy and old.

"Madam, let's help you to rest first." The two close-fitting maids hurriedly helped her.

After Liu entered the inner room, he drove the maids out.

Cui Liu looked at the inner room, and whispered to Cuiyu: "The master is true too. Such a weak person is very ruthless to start. Now he drank and ran to beat the lady. The lady loves face not only Please see the doctor, not even the lady will tell."

Cuiyu glared at her, "Don't say a few words, don't worry about things you shouldn't care about. Since the lady has explained so, we can just listen to them now."

Lin Qingwan's family settled down in Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

Life in the mansion is very comfortable, and almost everything is properly arranged.

Lin Qingwan used to think that she was not used to the rich life surrounded by maids and women who even wanted to drink water and wanted to be fed, but when she really lived such a comfortable life, she realized that it was actually not that difficult to accept.

Afterwards, she analyzed her own thoughts, and she found tragically that she was still the kind of petty citizen thought in her previous life.She couldn't experience the kind of rich and noble life surrounded by servants and servants, so she used her imagination to feel that such a day was not interesting at all, and there were people serving everything. Is that still a person? Is it useful to live?

After Zheng Erba had gone through this kind of life, she felt no wonder that people said that wealth was eroding people's will, it was true.But she is not a man, she is just a woman who cares for her husband and teaches her children, so it's okay to have no ambition, right?

After living such a comfortable and happy life for some time, Lin Qingwan suddenly realized that her two sons didn't seem to need her anymore.

The second child of the skin monkey, who caused her headaches all day long, was well taken care of by the maid-in-law. Her brother also arranged for two young men to play with him all over the house.Dingyuan Hou Mansion is very big, and Lin Qingwan hasn't finished shopping so far. She doesn't have the leisurely sentiment or is lazy, but Hem Hum is ready to play around the mansion before she will give up.

After playing it all over, my brother said that he had a good muscle and bones and he was born suitable for martial arts, so he secretly arranged for him a martial arts master to teach him some superficial things. Lin Qingwan thought that his son had no patience and could not learn for a few days, and he was also very How can there be any qualitative small.Who knew Hem actually admitted it, and looked like he was very fun and happy to learn.

And the studious boss, Yang Nuo, seems to have found his own happiness. Not only did his uncle accompany him to play with him from time to time, he also invited a very good master to teach him.Nono was originally an easy-to-learn little baby, but now it's fine. When he drowsed and bumped into the pillow, he couldn't think about it all at once.The rest time is the same as Hem, except for eating and sleeping.Seeing the figure, my mouth is full of how knowledgeable the master is...

This situation made Lin Qingwan very disappointed. She felt that her son had grown up all at once, and the one who hadn't grown up didn't need her anymore.

She was a little sad, a little sad, a little depressed, and more of the feeling of a baby bird growing up and flying away...

She needs comfort from someone very much now, but when she wants to find her own man to comfort her, she realizes that men also have their own things to do. The business here in Beijing is just in its infancy. Even if you don’t come to the capital this time, men will probably do. I have to come over for some time.Everyone is here now, and since the beginning of the day, I am busy with business...

There was a feeling of being abandoned by people all over the world in an instant.

After Yang Tiezhu came back in the evening, he found his wife a little unhappy.He didn't learn the reason from Jiaojiao's wife until he went to bed after washing and coaxing him in his arms for a long time.

Yang Tiezhu laughed and said, "Don't you think it's not easy to be energetic in the day, but someone helped you bring it. And Nono, don't you also know his studious temperament? what."

Lin Qingwan whispered, "How can it be the same."

I can be annoying, I can have a helpless headache, I can be so angry that I can jump my feet, but that is also a sweetness of a godson.She doesn't need her anymore now, she feels a touch of sadness.

He bit her into her mouth, and she frowned at him, her face inadvertently showing love.It caused Yang Tiezhu to hold her in his arms and knead and rub her, which was extremely rare in his heart.

"Okay, okay, my son will always grow up. It’s impossible to stay with you every day. Sooner or later, I have to get used to it. It’s not bad to get used to it early. My eldest brother also discussed with me about the future of the two children. I also think this arrangement is really good. The eldest son is eager to learn and loves literacy, and the second is energetic and suitable for martial arts. What's more, you can't keep your two sons by your side for the rest of your life?

Looking at the man's eyes, Lin Qingwan actually knew that he was right, but after all, she couldn't turn her head around for a while, and she was a bit disappointed.

"It means that you already knew about asking the master for Nuonuo?"

Yang Tiezhu said helplessly: "That's not the case. My eldest brother once discussed with me about the future of the child. I didn't expect him to move so fast, so he arranged it like this."

Cunning brother!

Lin Qingwan realized in an instant.

Not only did she use sugar-coated cannonballs for her, she also did her best to her two sons.Do you want to tell her, or the capital here is better?

Lin Qingwan deeply sighed about this.

It is true that Luoxia Village is used to live very well, but when his son grows up, he needs to have his own future, and staying there will be a lot of inconvenience.Not to mention anything else, she has a headache just for the boss, Nuonuo. How can Mr. Zuoguan from a small private school in Luoxia Village compare with the master who was specially invited by her brother here in Beijing.

She doesn't even know what the older brother means, but she feels that since the child loves to learn, don't let down his talents and intelligence.Not to mention the second child humming. Although she doesn't know how long the skin monkey son can last, she still believes if her brother said he is suitable for martial arts. She returned to Luoxia Village, where did she get a martial arts master to teach ?

Even Lin Qingwan was thinking about whether he wanted to stay in the capital and not leave. I have to say that Lin Qingting's methods are indeed good.

It's just that Lin Qingwan couldn't think of it for a while, so she could only frown.

Of course Yang Tiezhu understands the worries and entanglements in his daughter-in-law's heart, and he also knows what his eldest brother's every move these days means.

"Okay, don't think about it. If you feel that your son is not by your side to be lonely, then let's have another one." As he said, people pressed up.

Lin Qingwan was still thinking about her heart, and her mouth was blocked.A man has always known that the sensitive part of her body is there, so rubbing it, she suddenly lost her mind to think about other things.

******

In an instant, Lin Qingwan had no time to worry about her own thoughts, because Lin Qingting's day of rejoicing was approaching.

Lin Qingwan is still full of heart for the marriage of this only brother.

She also asked her brother about the future sister-in-law's house. It is said that she is a girl from a small family.

Of course, this small household is a small household compared to Lin Qingting's current power.After all, with Lin Qingting's current status, she couldn't marry any kind of girl from the Gonghou family.A maternal daughter of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, a fifth-grade Guanglu Temple, has actually climbed a high branch.Let Yi do the honorable family who wanted to recruit Lin Qingting as his son-in-law, but his teeth fell.

Regarding her brother's marriage, Lin Qingwan wanted to help one or two, but couldn't get in at all.On the one hand, she has no experience, and on the other hand, everything in the house has been arranged properly, only waiting for the lucky day to get married.

But there was one door to help, but Lin Qingwan was a little reluctant.In the end, Lin Qingting weighed the pros and cons to her before Lin Qingwan finally let go.

And indeed, because Lin Qingting and Lin's family never talked to each other, it would be a shame that there were no relatives in the mansion responsible for greeting the guests on the day of rejoicing.

Lin Qingting's statement is also very well understood and moved by reason. I am a relative of my younger sister's son-in-law's family. Who will help you if you don't?Of course, it was a bit pitiful, so Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiezhu were driven by ducks.Even if they knew that there was Lin Qingting's personal plan, they could only recognize it by touching their noses.

Who made Lin Qingting's hat too big, and they really couldn't bear to shirk it.

In order not to lose the face of Yuanhou Mansion, the two men tutored various household materials and etiquette in Beijing. Lin Qingwan tutored the female family members, and Yang Tiezhu tutored the male guests.But Lin Qingting also said that even if there are any faults, it still depends on how much face he Dingyuanhou Mansion has.

This is very angry, and for this reason the two people are really not stressed.

Lin Qingting's wedding was unprecedentedly grand, and the wealthy and wealthy people in Beijing came to the door for joy.

Lin Qingting did not send out invitations widely, but only notified a few close families. However, he had expected this kind of scene earlier, and prepared in advance, and the Fuzhong was not overwhelmed by any lack of reception.

The wedding banquet was divided into two parts, with the male and female guests in one place.

The female guest here was handed over to Lin Qingwan, as well as several housekeepers in the house.

Fortunately, Lin Qingting also said that everyone knows that Lin Qingwan has just come to the capital and is not familiar with the details of each family. As long as he can laugh at that time, the housekeeper under the seat will arrange it.In other words, she is a decoration, and she is only the younger sister of Lin Qingting, who is responsible for Dingyuanhou Mansion to entertain the female family members. Don't let others feel too rude because there is no host to greet.

On the day of Lin Qingting's wedding, Lin Qingwan was responsible for entertaining the female guests who came to the wedding banquet in front of the hall.Because the maids below are all well-trained, and Hongyan is on the side to give some advice, they are well organized and nothing went wrong.

The ladies and ladies who came to the wedding banquet seemed to know her identity, and they all smiled and nodded at her, releasing their kindness.Some older ladies grabbed her hand and sighed that it is a pity for such a good girl.

Regarding this, Lin Qingwan felt a little puzzled, but she still remembered what her brother said. She didn't understand or how to answer, so she just nodded and smiled and hit haha. No one would blame it.

In this strange mode of getting along, Lin Qingwan was able to deal with it very well, and no one showed any blame.

Then Lin Qingwan's eyes were diverted by one person--

Lin Qinglan!It turned out to be her.

Although she had never really seen Lin Qinglan, she was beaten to death because the original owner was deceived by Lin Qinglan, so she would never forget this face.

And the conversations she heard when she first walked through, all impressed her deeply.

It's a pity that she was later sold far away, the boats and carts were exhausted as far as Yunzhou, and then she was sold to marry, and the distance and status were too far away, she gradually forgot this person.

Unexpectedly, this person would appear when she was caught off guard.

At this time, Lin Qinglan was wearing a scarlet gold gilt tufted bun, wearing a red gold inlaid white jade Guanyin's heart, and red gold dots in her hair. She was dressed up and even gorgeous.The melon seed has a small face, which is beautiful and charming, but the slightly convex cheekbones make her less peaceful and a little more domineering.

Domineering, Lin Qinglan is not so domineering.In Lin Qingwan's impression, the three words Lin Qinglan and the arrogant and self-willed are equated.

Hongyan, who had been by her side, noticed the strangeness of her aunt, followed her gaze, and immediately whispered in her ear: "This is the daughter-in-law of Uncle Zhongyong, who is married to the second son of the mansion."

The other Hongyan didn't say any more, because she also knew that this person and his aunt's relationship was Lin Qinglan, the first daughter of the Lin family.Hongyan's father is Manager Hong, so she also knows some entanglements between Mrs. Hou and the Lin family.Fearing that the daughter-in-law of the uncle Zhongyong who was domineering by nature would embarrass his aunt's wife, she and a maid beside her signaled and asked her to lead the guests to their seats.

It's a pity that Lin Qinglan didn't give Yuanhou's face, so she was embarrassed by her shrill voice.

"What? The dignified Dingyuan Hou Mansion didn't have a host to entertain the female guests, so he sent a girl to try to perfuse someone?"

For a while, the lively scene immediately quieted down.

Lin Qinglan's eyes swayed straight at Lin Qingwan.

In fact, when Lin Qingwan saw Lin Qinglan, Lin Qinglan also saw this'sister'.

Before coming, she had been suffocating her breath, because of this person, her mother was criticized and she was in a difficult situation and it was even more embarrassing.

This time, Dingyuan Hou did not post to the Lin family. Because of the embarrassment, no one from the Lin family came, just a gift.

The reason why Lin Qinglan was able to come this time was because she specifically asked her mother-in-law to take her out.During this period, she revealed that she used to have a'good relationship' with Lin Qingwan before she could be brought. This kind of deeds and lies really made her feel ashamed.

The reason why she took such pains is to see how miserable this'sister' who was sold out of Beijing is now after marrying a muddy leg.Even if there is a compatriot in a high position behind her, it can't change her destiny in the slightest.Because the honor of a woman comes from her husband, not her brother.

It is a pity that the person in front of her is very different from what she imagined.

She went out today to make herself glamorous, and at least she must step on Lin Qingwan's cheap hoof, but after she came, she discovered that in fact, others were no worse than her.

Still the look of a weak willow facing the wind, even gorgeously dressed, not at all inferior to the wife of a wealthy family in Beijing, and the eyebrows are different from the past. It is not timid, but confident and confident.The skin is fair and ruddy, and the attitude is generous and decent. At first glance, I thought it was the mistress of which family.

Why is she so confident?

Did she forget what kind of person she married?!

Lin Qingwan felt helpless, just about to say something, she was interrupted by a lady next to Lin Qinglan."Qinglan, what are you talking about? Didn't you see others busy greeting guests?" Mrs. Zhongyong glanced sharply at her daughter-in-law, then smiled apologetically at Lin Qingwan, "I'm really sorry, my daughter-in-law The mouth has never been blocked."

Lin Qingwan greeted her with a smile, "I'm sorry, there are too few people who can come out to entertain at home, please forgive me for any negligence."

This was spoken by Mrs. Zhong Zhongyong, as if she hadn't seen Lin Qinglan next to her, or when what Lin Qinglan had just said was air.

The people who saw Ji Feng here all turned a blind eye and smiled, and some even said to relieve themselves, "Mrs. Zhongyong, come and sit here. What you told me last time..."

Mrs. Zhongyong smiled at Lin Qingwan again, and took the opportunity to walk over there, squeezing her daughter-in-law's hand tightly.

Lin Qinglan was warned by her mother-in-law, so she had to hang her face halfway, and followed her, but her limbs were slightly stiff during the walk.In fact, she regretted what she said, but she didn't control her mouth for a while. It is estimated that it will be difficult to explain after going back this time.

After the wedding banquet was over, it was already late.

Lin Qingwan was so tired that she didn't fall apart. Although she didn't have to do anything, the corners of her mouth were tired and stiff just by smiling, not to mention that there were a lot of enthusiastic ladies looking for her to talk to.

Not to mention anything else, but very implicitly sympathized with her and pityed her in various ways.

Lin Qingwan also received a lot of sympathy, and then secretly asked Hongyan.

Hongyan explained the situation very implicitly, saying that she is now a battered concubine in the capital who was sympathized by many people. She was sold to the countryside by her aunt to marry a muddy leg.Including the news that Lin Qingting arranged to be released, he also told her.

Lin Qingwan realized that when she met a lady who took pity on her, she wanted to tell them that labor and capital were very good, and there was no need for your sympathy. Labor and capital men were also very good, at least not sharing cucumbers.

It's a pity that today is Lin Qingting's wedding banquet. She can only smile, shy smile, shy smile, gentle smile...

The other uncomfortable person on the court was Lin Qinglan. Anyway, Lin Qinglan saw that her face had never been better, and her mother-in-law Mrs. Zhongyong's face was also not very good.

How could she not understand Lin Qinglan's psychology? Didn't she think she was married to a Bai Ding or had mud legs, and wanted to see her tragedy.

Why should she show her the tragedy, she feels that she is very happy now.At least she doesn't have a wicked mother-in-law, don't think she didn't see Mrs. Zhongyong glaring at her secretly.

As for Lin Qinglan, Lin Qingwan had planned to treat her as nothing, and it is the same now.

Lin Qingwan went all the way back to Xinwanyuan, and found that Yang Tiezhu hadn't come back yet, thinking that the men’s seats would be scattered later than the women, so she went to the east wing to see her two sons. The two younger ones were already serving at the maidservant. Lie down and fell asleep.

After returning to the house, he took a good bath, and Yang Tiezhu returned not long after.

Yang Tiezhu seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, full of alcohol, Lin Qingwan pushed him to take a bath.

After washing, the couple sat on the couch and talked.

"Msang-gong, you greeted in front today, did you encounter anything?"

Lin Qingwan was very worried that someone would look down on a man and let him lose face.After all, here is different from Luoxia Village. Senior officials here walk all over the floor. Anyone who throws a brick on the street can hit an official of rank 5 or above. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are probably just a bit of a scratch. It's just the poor relatives of the government.Forget it, she is a woman, and it is her honor to have a capable brother, but she is afraid that men will not think about it.

How could Yang Tiezhu not understand the worries in his wife’s heart? He smiled and said: "You too look down on your man, how can you embarrass others. Moreover, no one is embarrassing me in the front today. My uncle's face is still something, I don't think too much about it. There is a great uncle, it also shows that it is a kind of skill, right, it shows that I have a good vision to marry a wife!"

In fact, Yang Tiezhu didn't elaborate. Although no one was embarrassed, he still looked at him strangely.

But he is no longer the one he was many years ago. After so many years of doing business outside, he can still do well in communicating with people.If you look down on it, look down on it, and you don't have to look down on them to live well.

He didn't steal one or two. Although he was a white body, his life at home was no worse than anyone else's. As for the eyes of other people, he couldn't control it.Don't think he didn't see that those people looked down upon with admiration. Of course, Yang Tiezhu was a little bad in his mind, and he was envious of you.

As a result, the surface is more natural and vigorous, but it is advancing and retreating, and it is not that no one takes him seriously, and feels that the sister-in-law of Ding Yuanhou is not as good as imagined that she has never seen the world.

Lin Qingwan chuckled, then relieved her heart.

The couple talked for a while before lying down to sleep. After all, they were busy all day.

On the other side, Lin Qinglan and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhongyong, returned home after a dinner.

As soon as she got home, her mother-in-law took her to the main yard and walked away.

"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect to do such a thing. Co-authoring what you call a good relationship with other people's sisters is such a good way?" Uncle Zhongyong was very rude, and this was her first time. Talk to this daughter-in-law in this tone.

"Mother, I..." Even if Lin Qinglan was always articulate, she couldn't find any excuses for a while.

She was still too impulsive, so she smashed the words so brightly, anyone would think that she was not in a good relationship with the other party, but had grudges.

In the past, she would not speak so carelessly. After that incident, she was carefully taught by her mother at home. She was also a mindful, and she was no longer as impulsive and domineering as before.Outsiders looked at her with the same face, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart. Zhang Yang's domineering and domineering attitude was nothing more than a mask that confuses people's eyes, and she has already learned the term to judge the situation.

Instead of encountering people who bored her like this in the past, she would only mock people with ambiguity, making people unable to grasp the handle, instead of just rushing over and passing, after all, she still didn't suppress her temper.

Mrs. Zhongyong’s eyes were a bit meaningful, "I don’t want to care about your natal family or the estrangement between you and those two brothers and sisters, but don’t forget that your daughter-in-law of our Zhongyong family is the daughter-in-law of Zhongyong family. You can't offend Yuanhou. Lin Qingwan doesn't have enough attention to outsiders, but so many ladies treated her kindly at the wedding banquet today, don't you understand the meaning here?"

Does everyone really look at Lin Qingwan?

Wrong, everyone is just watching Dingyuanhou!

It is because of Ding Yuan Hou that everyone will be polite and even a little flattering to a woman who is not obvious in her husband's family. Others have a capable brother and love their own sisters. As long as Ding Yuan Hou does not lose power for a day, as long as you do not want to offend and convict From afar, these so-called ladies must retract their high jaws.Even if it's not about bowing, at least it's looking up.

Lin Qinglan's face was pale.

How could she not understand, but after all, she couldn't get past the hurdle in her heart!She didn't want to think that she was inferior to the two of them, and she even wanted to show three points of weakness to them.

"Think about it for yourself, and I won't say more about anything else. During the time you are thinking about it, I will first hand over the middle school gift to the third wife."

"mother?"

Lin Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zhongyong in disbelief. She had been in charge of the family's feedback soon after entering the door. Now that she has been taken away, she hasn't been trampled to death by those concubines?!

"Okay, I'm tired too. You go back now, and think about it after you go back. Don't just go out these days." Mrs. Zhongyong waved her hand and said with a tired face.

This daughter-in-law is really good, a talent that can be created, and there will be no problem with being a master mother in the future.But after all, it’s still a little bit unclear. It's arrogant for people, and it doesn't matter if people can't see clearly.But if all these add up to damage the position of the Zhongyong Mansion, then she cannot tolerate it.

She is still too young, but luckily she can move, so she will teach her.

The mother-in-law gave the order to evict guests, and Lin Qinglan could only squeeze her hands and retreat out of the courtyard.

All the way back to the yard where they lived in the second room, Lin Qinglan felt a little too slow.

She has never been a weak person before, so the maids looked a little pale when they saw her, but they didn't see any other differences.

Lin Qingwan returned to the room and sat down, and there was a maid serving dim sum and a bowl of soup.

Lin Qinglan seldom eats anything at a banquet outside, and she has to eat something every time she comes back. This maid who has been serving her for a long time knows herself that she has everything ready.

But at this time, Lin Qingwan had no appetite at all, her mind was messed up, and there was an urge to destroy everything in her heart.

She hated why she hated that person for not dying, why did she come back, and why she hated Lin Qingting for being Dingyuanhou.But what she hates even more is why her mother-in-law treats her like this, why should she be so aggressive!

However, there was a faintly small voice in her heart that was telling her, the environment you have been in since you were young, and the situation you have been in after marrying, don't you always tell you that people are going to be in flames?It's not that it's not good to be inferior to the inflammation, but you don't see that it is the person's brother who makes you inferior to the inflammation.

So you can’t see clearly. You’ve always been sensible in front of your mother-in-law. Now you don’t understand. What a terrible end for you if you don’t understand things. If you were reprimanded by your mother-in-law and taken away from the housekeeper, tomorrow your lovely concubines will be swarming. Well, everyone will run to your head and step on a foot, and you don't know when you can turn over.

Lin Qinglan shook her head irritably, her eyes moved to the maid Ruyu.

"Where is the second master?" Lin Qinglan was the second son of the Zhongyong Bofu, ranking second.

The expression on Ruyu's face was a little surprised at first, but it was even more shocking to hear the second lady ask this question.But he didn't dare to cover up, so he could only say honestly: "The second master is with Aunt Chun."

Lin Qinglan was irritable, but her eyes were not blind yet.

"Just talk about it, what's the secret?"

Ruyu knelt on the ground with'Pumping', "Today the second lady and the old lady went out, and Aunt Chung found out that she was pregnant."

Lin Qinglan turned pale and sneered.

"If you are pregnant, you are pregnant. What are you afraid of? Get up quickly."

Ruyu stood up and did not dare to speak.

She has been serving the second lady for a long time, and the second lady used to be furious when encountering such things, thinking of ways to deal with those women of the second master.Nowadays, it has changed a lot, but this change makes Ruyu panicked, and she always feels a kind of fear that she can't describe.

"Okay, wait for me to rest, presumably the second master is very busy today."

Ruyu didn't dare to speak up, nor did he dare to see the sneer on her face, so she helped Lin Qinglan to go to the inner room.

After washing and resting, Lin Qinglan lay on her bed.

A wave of fatigue spread from the bottom of my heart, and sadness that I didn't even realize.

Should have been used to it long ago, right?Which man doesn't look good, and which rich family doesn't have these things!

What she should consider now is not those bad things, but how to regain her mother-in-law's approval and bring back the right of housekeeping.

Lin Qinglan don't think too much, go to bed early, there will be a lot of tough battles to be fought tomorrow.
