Lin Zhixiu also came out of the old lady's room. Nan Yan asked, "Miss, do you want to call the second old lady?"
Lin Zhixiu shook his head and said, "Let Qingfeng tell cousin Song about this."
Nan Yan said, "Then what should I do with Uncle Song?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Just tell him this. He has already passed the imperial examination. If everything goes well next spring, he will be a Jinshi and become an official. I can't always make decisions for him. The path must be taken by himself. The consequences.
, and he has to bear it himself!"
Earlier, the men of the Lin family left Lin Song to eat. Lin Song was not well, but he still had the first glass of wine and toasted the men of the Lin family present. Everyone ate happily.
Lin Song hadn't drank for many years. Now, whether it was the wine or his mood, he felt a little dizzy as he walked home. Qingfeng supported him and asked, "Uncle, are you cold?"
Lin Song smiled stupidly, "You touch my hand, it's warm!"
When the two of them entered the house, Lin Song went to the back to greet the old lady.
Qingsong said, "Uncle, there is something..." Qingsong is Lin Zhixiu's man, and Lin Song also knows it.
After hearing this, Lin Song dropped his smile, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled again and went to see the old lady.
"Grandma, my grandson thought you would also be eating later!"
The second old lady said, "I haven't eaten. From now on, if you have anything to do with the eldest brother, just go and do it! I don't want to bother with that great aunt of yours!"
Lin Song smiled, "Grandma, this is what the great grandfather gave to his grandson. It's said to be five thousand taels, take it!"
"You picked up?!" The old lady looked complicated.
"Didn't Sister Xiu say, just let us take it? Sister Xiu said don't be polite! It's true to use money to arrange your days!"
The second old lady said, "Oh, the eldest brother of the Lin family, I'm sorry for her parents! Sigh... you can take care of this money! You can study, meet friends, or become apprentices, etc. Don't take it from me every time! You are the eldest
Now that you are a man, from now on, you will also have to take care of the family affairs!"
Lin Song nodded, "Okay. Let me put a thousand taels in your hand. My grandson will take part of it. It may cost some money these days."
Seeing him like this, the second old lady comforted her heart and smelled the smell of alcohol, "Have you been drinking?"
Lin Song said, "My grandson toasted everyone. I haven't tasted wine for many years...it tastes really good."
The old lady looked a little confused, but she still said, "It's just this once, I can't do it again."
Lin Song happily responded, "Yes, grandma."
Old Mrs. Lin Er was worried a lot and couldn't hide it.
Lin Song saw that he was sitting opposite the old lady, "Grandma, why don't you frown on such a happy day? Now there are only two of us at home. If you have anything to do, tell your grandson!"
Old Mrs. Lin Er looked at her grandson and thought of what the eldest old lady said, that this matter could not be hidden from him.
So he said to him, "Just now, your eldest grandmother talked about Xuan'er. She said that everything was going well for us, but we couldn't ignore her. She also mentioned your parents, saying that they... Izumi Youzhi, his only daughter ended up like this,
How sad it must be... Grandma listened and felt very sorry. Song'er... your eldest grandmother said, let us take Xuan'er back and live in Wutong Courtyard over there... until she gets married."
Lin Song looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, what do you mean?!"
The second old lady said, "Actually, I will dream about her these days. Thinking about your parents, grandma is really guilty for not taking Xuan'er well... She has been gone for such a long time... In the past, she made mistakes, and grandma was just a thunderbolt
No matter how loud the noise, the rain is small, I haven't really punished her, so she has been used to being fearless. This time, she will definitely be much more frightened when she goes to that place. You tell me, otherwise, then,
Will she come back to see you?"
Her tone was questioning, but there was hope in her eyes.
Lin Song nodded, "Grandma, my grandson understands what you said! My grandson has just passed the imperial examination, and his great-uncle said that he wants to have some fun in the big room. Although he is in the big room, some relatives and friends will come over. You can
You also have to receive them. Or you have to come directly to your home. Therefore, you are busy these days. You have to clean your home, prepare some refreshments, and register and collect the gifts given by the visitors. And your grandson has to thank you.
, meeting classmates will also be very busy."
The second old lady nodded, "These grandmothers have also considered it."
Lin Song said, "My sister is here... From my grandson's perspective, let's not mention bringing her back for now. Let Aunt Li go and see her. If my sister truly repented and admitted her mistake during this period of time inside, then in the future
, now she knows how to do things for others. After this period, my grandson and you will go to pick her up."
When the second old lady heard this, she didn't find anything wrong, but she was very happy, "That's a good idea! Grandma will arrange it right away!"
Lin Song said, "Yeah! If my sister becomes sensible, she can take her back. If she wants to go to Wutong Courtyard, it's fine. If she doesn't want to go, she can live at home. With the money from the big house, her dowry can be arranged."
The second old lady thought it was beautiful and nodded.
Lin Song said seriously, "But...grandma, if she is not good enough, please forgive your grandson for not agreeing to her return! You don't have to worry about your grandson's reputation! Your grandson must hold up the lintel of the Lin family's second house and behave properly.
Sit upright and don’t be afraid of other people’s comments!”
"Okay. I'll let Aunt Li go tomorrow." The second old lady agreed.
Lin Song said, "We still need to arrange for someone to deliver a message to my brother! Let him come back before the Chinese New Year! If the spring goes well next year, we won't let him go out again."
When the second old lady heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "You are so considerate! That enemy doesn't want me as an old woman! She didn't even write two letters!" Tears flowed out.
Lin Song said, "Look, you can't cry on such a happy day!"
The second old lady quickly said, "Don't cry, don't cry. If he can go home for the New Year, I will be happy!"
The next day, the second old lady asked Grandma Li to go to Kuchan Nunnery. Grandma Li had been there for more than a long time and had just returned to the city.
At the city gate, a man stopped her car.
Aunt Li looked at it and saw that it was Qingfeng. "Hey, Qingfeng? Why are you here?"
Qingfeng said, "The uncle is waiting for you in the car!" There was a carriage next to him.
Li Niangniang got into the car confused.
Lin Songcong looked at her with a serious face, "Mother Li is back?!"
Aunt Li said, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Lin Song said, "I'm worried about you going to do such a big thing. Let's take a look! Lin Zhixuan, how is she?" His tone was very calm.
Grandma Li was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Lin Song: "What? It's hard to say?"
Aunt Li quickly said, "Uncle, when I saw Miss Zhixuan today, the old woman was a little afraid to recognize her. She has a pretty face and is generous. She was dressed simply, with no jewelry on her head. She had a smile on her face and spoke softly.
She spoke in a soft voice... Miss Zhixuan said... She had a difficult life since she was a child and had no clothes. When she saw a few girls in the big room, she felt jealous, so she made trouble over nothing. The old lady took care of her, but she didn't listen. Her brother taught her, but she didn't listen either.
Listen, she even made her second brother so angry that she ran away from home. In the nunnery, she had a lot of free time and was not disturbed by clothes and jewelry, so she really figured it out."
Lin Song had a smile on his lips.
Aunt Li went on to say, "Miss Zhixuan said that she understands everything now. Only when her brother is well will the second wife of the Lin family be counted, and she will have a good future. She copied the scriptures for the old lady and the uncle. You see.
!”
Aunt Li took out some scriptures.
Lin Song took it and flipped through it casually. Although the handwriting was still not very good, it could be seen that it was written carefully stroke by stroke.
Aunt Li said, "She knew that the uncle had won the election, and she shed tears of joy. Look, this is a letter she wrote to the old lady! The old slave looked at it, and it seemed like he was not alone!"
Lin Song put the scripture aside and opened the letter. The content was the same as what Grandma Li said just now, but it also said that her sins were serious. The old lady would not take her back, and she would not complain at all. She would only stay in the Buddha's home.
I prayed for my grandmother before, hoping that she would live a long life. I also recited sutras for my deceased parents, hoping that they could enjoy peace and happiness. I also hoped that my eldest brother would be a Jinshi next year...
Haha! She really knows how to do it!
Lin Song said, "Mother Li, what do you think of this matter?"
Aunt Li said in embarrassment, "Uncle, the old lady has seen the changes in our second wife's house these days. Old lady, her complexion has improved! Even us servants have more meat in our meals. But... old slave
You know, Miss Zhixuan has always been the old lady’s worry. If the old lady saw her today, she would definitely bring her back on the spot...Old slave..."
Lin Song said, "Now that grandma knows about the changes in the family, how do you plan to reply to grandma's words?"
Aunt Li said blankly, "Sir, old woman, no...Sir, what are your orders?" She didn't want Lin Zhixuan to come back, but how could she dare to say so?
Lin Song said, "If I win the Jinshi next year, not to mention grandma, even you servants will have a much better life! I can tell you how to do this, but if you stay with grandma all day long, I
You said it, but you forgot it in the blink of an eye, exposed the secret, and made grandma sad again. What's the difference between that and taking her back? So, I want to ask you!"
Aunt Li thought for a while, "Uncle, I know this!"
Lin Song looked at her and said, "I believe in Grandma Li!"
Aunt Li: "Qingfeng, come up here."
When Qingfeng came up, Grandma Li said, "Give me a slap on the face and grab it as hard as you can! I'm an old woman and I'm not good enough. If you use too much force, you'll get hurt!"
Qingfeng looked at Lin Song, who nodded.
Qingfeng took advantage of it and scratched Grandma Li's face five times, causing blood to flow down her face.
Lin Song looked at Grandma Li, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, you won't suffer this injury in vain. There is no need to mention these scriptures and letters."
Grandma Li agreed, returned to her car, and went directly to the old lady's house when she got home.
The old lady was so anxious as she waited. When she saw Grandma Li coming, she quickly asked, "How are you doing?!"
Grandma Li kept covering her face with the handkerchief and burst into tears, "Old lady..."
The second old lady was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?!"
As soon as Grandma Li put her hand down, there were a few blood marks and her face became swollen.
The second old lady said, "Ah?! What's going on?"
Grandma Li cried, "Old lady, please go see Miss Zhixuan. Miss Zhixuan has become much thinner, dresses plainly, and is not as irritable as before. She speaks slowly and calmly, and looks very good! She said she knows she is wrong.
She asked her grandmother and uncle to forgive her and said that she would change her mind in the future. The servant told her that the uncle had won the election. She was so happy that she worshiped the Buddha and said that it was all her fault in the past. After receiving enlightenment from the Bodhisattva, she understood everything! From now on,
She takes good care of you and supports her brother. Let’s live a good life together as a family! The servant was very happy to hear this. He said that he would go back and tell the old lady to pick her up as soon as possible... Wuwu..."
The second old lady said, "Isn't this good? Why are you injured again?"
Grandma Li said, "When Miss Zhixuan heard that, the old slave was not here to pick her up! She fell out at that time, just like in the past! She was even more fierce than before. Without saying a word, she came up and gave the old slave a hand. The old slave
How can she react? She really changed her face at once. She said... She said you were an old man and said that the uncle was a short-lived ghost... If she came out, she would give him such a slap in the face. See what else he could do with it.
Examination, being an official...oh my God. The old lady...the old slave is so scared."
The second old lady looked at her face, which was bloody and bloody, and her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.
After a long while, he murmured, "This evil barrier has really offended her. If this happens... she really dares to do it! She... why is she like this!"
Aunt Li said, "Yes, old lady, that face can change at any time! One moment she was smiling, and the next moment she moved her hands! The old slave really couldn't react. She even pinched him and it was all over his body..."
The second old lady shook her head helplessly, "That's all! Haha, luckily Song'er said to go and have a look first. Otherwise, I would have brought this plague god back."
Grandma Li covered her face, it hurt so much.
"Don't take the medicine yet. Come on, follow me to the old lady's place."
The second old lady brought Nanny Li to the Lin family.
I found the old lady and showed her the injuries on her face. I also scolded her a few words, "It was you who told her that I asked her to have a look. Fortunately, I just went to have a look. If I really got it back, I would live in it."
You Wutong Courtyard, you might hurt someone! Will you blame me or you?"
When Mrs. Lin saw it, she was speechless. This girl was still crazy. "I mean well too! Come on, you can figure it out yourself." She was so depressed!
Lin Zhixiu received the letter and said with a leisurely smile, "After all, it's about lifting people up, and the level is high!"
