Today is the winter solstice, and I forgot to tell everyone a happy holiday, so hereby add another chapter to wish everyone a happy winter solstice!

"Wait a minute, Aunt Gui. I have something to ask you. What have the four girls been doing recently?" Lin Jinyin called out gently to Aunt Gui, who had just excused herself from Tao's room.
"Go back to the third girl. The fourth girl is either copying women's commandments or practicing calligraphy and reading every day, or else she works as a nun and distributes tea." Aunt Gui was extremely conflicted in her heart. She wished she could tell Lin Jinrong about her affair with Aunt Huang.
Jinyin listened. It was not that she was afraid that she would not be able to escape the involvement if the incident came to light in the future, but that she had a gut feeling that it was inappropriate. It was not a trap set by Aunt Huang, right?
Lin Jinyin smiled and stared at Aunt Gui: "Her temperament has always been calm and a bit boring. If there is anything that bothers my wife, you can come and talk to me at any time. I am her biological sister, so she is quite calm.
Don't be angry, I will protect her with all my strength."
"No. If there is, I will definitely tell the third girl." Aunt Gui hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up talking to Lin Jinyin about the matter. The fourth girl just said that anyone who talks too much will be kicked out.
How could I, a janitor, be that thief? It wouldn't be too late to wait until I really couldn't do it.
Lin Jinyin watched Nanny Gui go away, frowning slightly, thinking for a long time, sighing softly, washing her hands and going to the small kitchen to make snacks for Mrs. Tao.
Half a month later, Lin Jinrong's confinement period expired and she was freed. When the women's commandments she had copied a hundred times by hand were beautifully stacked in front of Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin smiled: "The handwriting is good. Remember to abide by your duties."
, Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper.”
Lin Jinrong nodded in agreement. He secretly glanced at Lin Shenzhi, who was immersed in writing at the side. Lin Shenzhi's small body was kneeling on a chair, and he was writing very hard on the desk in front of the window. He was very serious about every stroke. He was surprised.
Lin Shenzhi suddenly became calm. He saw Old Mrs. Lin stroking his beard and smiling: "Little Lao Qi is too naughty. It took a long time to get him to calm down."
The old man believed that jade cannot be made without polishing it. To be able to make the naughty Lin Shenzhi look like this in a month must be a combination of kindness and power and a lot of hard work. Lin Jinrong looked at Lin Shenzhi's small body and frowned slightly.
Eyebrow, I feel a little sad in my heart. Other children only become enlightened at the age of seven, but he has already embarked on this path, and his nature has been imprisoned. However, she cannot stay in the Lin family forever, and a daughter cannot replace her son in some matters. Lin Shenzhi must
Grow up as soon as possible and become a talented person.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinrong's eyes became determined again, and he said to the old man with a smile: "My seventh brother must have spent a lot of effort on my grandfather."
The old man smiled, full of pride: "The prosperity of my Lin family should not be ruined in my hands."
Lin Jinrong bowed and left. When she reached the door, she looked back at Lin Shenzhi again, only to see Lin Shenzhi's big black grape-like eyes looking at her mischievously, and his little pink tongue quickly stretched out from his mouth like a gecko and then quickly retracted it.
.He turned his back to the old man calmly and made a face at her.
Very good, innocence still exists. They are all growing up. Lin Jinrong looked up at the blue sky and laughed silently. After laughing enough, Fang looked back at Li Zhi, who was also full of joy: "Come on, let's go and give it to
Please say hello to the old lady, and then go see my wife."
"The fourth girl is here?" Qingli smiled and opened the curtain for Lin Jinrong, and whispered: "The old lady is in a good mood today."
Lin Jinrong glanced at Qingli with a smile. He was really a sweet-hearted person. No wonder he was so popular. Qingli smiled at her knowingly, turned around and said loudly: "Old lady, the fourth girl is here to say hello to you."
Mrs. Lin was laughing to tears because of Lin Wu's tricks. After hearing this, she stopped smiling, pinched the handkerchief and gently pressed the corners of her eyes, and said calmly: "Let her in." It wasn't that she was still angry with Lin Jinrong.
She was so angry that she wanted to deliberately create difficulties, but her majesty as the number one person in the back house could never be challenged.
Lin Jinrong said hello as usual, and then sat quietly, with a calm demeanor and the same etiquette as usual, as if she had not just been released from confinement.
Mrs. Lin couldn't say what dissatisfied her with this kind of performance, but she really didn't like it. The twins acted like they had their mouths full of honey, and they acted coquettishly and made her happy in different ways. As for Lin Wu, they were okay.
She is cute and lovable, lively and generous. In comparison, the two sisters Lin Jinrong are too boring. They don't like to run to her, they don't know how to please, and they are stubborn. Even if they try to teach her a few words, they are not angry.
She looked silent, as if she was trying to find trouble with them. Well, what kind of good daughter could a mother like that give birth to? There's no such thing as Tao who doesn't care about the situation.
It's already pretty good. It's easy to change a person's position but hard to change his temperament. As long as you don't go too far, you won't be out of sight and out of mind when you leave the cabinet.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin felt a little relieved and said calmly: "You just came back from your grandfather, right?"
Lin Jinrong's body leaned forward slightly, which showed the politeness of a junior who listens attentively and answers the lessons of his elders: "Yes. Grandpa asked his granddaughter to fulfill her filial piety in front of grandma. I wonder how grandma is doing these days?"
Mrs. Lin hummed vaguely, lectured Lin Jinrong a few words, answered Lin Jinrong some small things about her daily life, and also asked a few questions about Lin Jinrong's daily life. Every conversation between the grandfather and grandson was filled with concern.
They are talking to each other, but they sound strange and polite like outsiders.
Lin Wu was listening with her cheeks cupped, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. When the greetings between the two came to an end, Fang interrupted: "I'm afraid the fourth sister hasn't visited the third aunt since she came out, right?"
"Yes, I plan to salute my grandfather and grandmother first and then go to my parents." Lin Jinrong glanced at Lin Wu, who smiled kindly back at her, as if to say, don't worry, I'm here.
, I will help you.
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly and looked back calmly. If you want to take something, you must give it first. Lin Wu didn't know what he would do for her again.
After listening to Lin Wu's words, Old Mrs. Lin said as expected: "That's all, the fourth girl hasn't seen your parents for a long time. As a child, you must not ignore filial piety and go."
Lin Jinrong then bowed and left, happily going to see Mrs. Tao.
As soon as Lin Jinrong's footsteps could no longer be heard, Lin Wu found himself sitting next to Mrs. Lin on the rosewood footrest. He gently rubbed Mrs. Lin's calves and said with a smile: "Seeing the Fourth Sister, I suddenly remembered that scene.
One day, Cousin Yun heard her playing the xun and liked it very much. She tried every possible means to learn from her. The fourth sister refused in front of all of us, which made Cousin Yun very sad and embarrassed. I couldn't persuade her. I was
I knew that the fourth sister was in a bad mood at that time because of the grounding, but she couldn't be so willful. Even though she was a cousin, she was still a guest after all, so it wouldn't matter if she said it politely. Looking at the fourth sister now, she was really in a good mood.
I hope she can get along with Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister in the future, and I will be less embarrassed."
The old lady lowered her eyes and said nothing, seeming to have dozed off.
Qingli smiled and stepped forward to help Lin Wu: "Miss Wu, the old lady seems to be sleepy again. How about the girl go out to get some fresh air before coming back?"
Lin Wu arranged for Lin Jinrong behind his back to promote himself. Unexpectedly, he got such a reaction from Mrs. Lin. He couldn't help but feel guilty. A blush of shame appeared on his face. He stood up and got out of the way, and was about to go out.
Suddenly I heard the old lady whispering: "When you have nothing to do, take your eighth sister out to play more often. She is young, a concubine, and timid. As a sister, you should be more careful, so that others don't know when you see her in the future."
She is a girl from my Lin family, I thought she was a little maid who came from somewhere."
These words not only hit Lin Wu, but also his eldest wife Zhou. Lin Wu's face suddenly turned as red as blood, and he responded like a mosquito: "Yes." He covered his face with his sleeves.
He walked out quickly as if he was running away.
Mrs. Lin drooped her eyelids and hummed: "No one can worry. I thought she was generous at first, but then she became petty and petty. Can she get away with what happened that day? She is also a person who doesn't understand the overall situation.
, an insatiable fool.”
Lin Wu's little thoughts are simply known to everyone on the street. If he stepped on Lin Jinrong, who was in front of her, wouldn't it be her turn to marry into the Lu family? The so-called petty family spirit is nothing more than Lin Wu arranging others to engage in conspiracy.
Her kung fu has not yet reached home. With a just right smile on her face, Qingli pinched Mrs. Lin's shoulders diligently and said softly: "The girls are still young. Even the stars in the sky are still fighting for the moon.
There's a lot of light in front of you, the girls are just too indifferent to the old lady's love."
The girls of the Lin family are the stars, and Mrs. Lin is naturally the moon. Mrs. Lin's face was full of wrinkles when Qingli said something. She gently patted the back of Qingli's hand and said, "You are the sweetest girl." Huhu.
After closing his eyes for a while, he suddenly said: "These four girls probably listened to their incompetent mother and deliberately stayed away from Lu Jian and Yun'er. They are also stupid and short-sighted."
Although Er is an unpleasant boring person, he is really quite talented. In addition, in order to prevent him from getting distracted, Lin Yuzhen has never had a maid come close to him until now. They are all served by servants. To be honest, she may not be better than Lin Yuzhen.
Wu Xiangcha.
The fact that Mrs. Tao and Lin Yuzhen have been at odds for many years is something everyone in the Lin family knows about. The old lady's remarks do not necessarily mean that she really likes the fourth girl. It's just that everyone thinks that something is good, and suddenly someone doesn't care about it.
Taking it seriously, others would inevitably want to say a few words to prove their own intelligence and that person's stupidity. Qingli did not dare to answer, she just lowered her head and worked harder and harder.
"Mom, I'm here." Lin Jinrong just entered Tao's courtyard and shouted with a smile. He rushed to the door in three steps and two steps. The curtain was also opened in time, and the man shouted in a low voice:
"Fourth girl." It turned out to be Aunt Huang. Aunt Huang was wearing a green coat and a dark green skirt. She had a simple comb, and only a plain silver hairpin in her hair. She looked simple.
Very, but his face was full of attentive smiles.
Lin Jinrong stopped immediately and raised his eyes to look at Aunt Huang in confusion. After not seeing each other for half a month, Aunt Huang sneaked into Mr. Tao's house? She and Aunt Huang cooperated, and she didn't want Aunt Huang to cause trouble for Mr. Tao.
, being respectful is another matter, but I didn’t ask Aunt Huang to come to Mrs. Tao diligently at this time. (To be continued)
