Little Duan was in a good mood. The next day, when Lin Lang took her husband and daughter back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, she was in high spirits.
As the youngest daughter and the only daughter, Lin Lang was very doted on by her parents and brothers.
Before the old man died, she was the one he worried about the most.
Although the marriage was finalized long ago, he has always been reluctant to get married, but he did not expect that staying until the end would delay his illness.
Fortunately, the uncle and husband I chose are decent and reliable.
The Jin family does not have a title, but they have been a scholar for hundreds of years. Their ancestors had great Confucian scholars, and their family tradition is particularly upright.
After the disciples became officials, some stayed in the capital, while others were sent to serve as officials. Even if they were not in high positions, they all had good official titles.
My uncle Jin Weian has no intention of entering the court, and is focused on learning.
During the three years when Lin Lang paid filial piety for his father, he followed his elders in the Jin family to travel around the mountains and rivers, gaining more knowledge.
After they got married, the two lived a happy and smooth life. They got a daughter, Jinning, who was also a pretty girl and was loved by everyone.
But today, Jinning pouted, looking aggrieved.
As soon as he entered the house, he didn't say hello to anyone, and just jumped on Lin Yunyan.
Lin Yunyan simply held her in her arms.
Little Mrs. Duan felt extremely distressed when she saw it, and wanted to reach out to take it. Jinning was unwilling to let go, so she didn't force her. She just asked: "Who bullied us, Ning Ning? Tell grandma."
Jinning blinked her big eyes, and tears fell down: "Fifth sister ignored me."
Lin Lang took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "I'm not ignoring Ning Ning. Ask her when you get home. She will definitely play with you."
After speaking, she explained to everyone.
Lin Yunyan gently patted Jinning on the back and listened, but she understood.
The fifth sister refers to Jinning’s cousin Jin Shu.
On the way back earlier, Jinning clamored for flower cakes, so Jin Weian stopped the carriage and went to buy it with the child in his arms.
Unexpectedly, when he met another young woman who was also buying, Jinning opened her mouth and called her "Fifth Sister".
That woman is naturally not Jin Shu.
"Wei An said that the facial features are not very similar, but at a glance, it is indeed easy to misjudge them," Lin Lang said, "It is more like the way they behave. They are both delicate and delicate girls.
Ning Ning didn't know clearly for a moment, thinking it was Ashu, and stretched out her hand to be hugged.
The girl must be introverted. She took one look at us and got on the sedan.
Ning Ning, isn’t this just..."
Xiao Duan was very amused after hearing this.
It's so common to admit the wrong person. It happens to adults, let alone children.
It's just that the child admitted his mistake and couldn't react, so he felt aggrieved.
Xiao Duan brought a lot of new things for fun, so Jinning let go of Lin Yunyan, and she carried her over and coaxed her. She kept teasing her, and finally made her granddaughter forget to ignore her fifth sister, and she smiled happily.
.
Lin Yunyan looked at the bustle and joy, with a smile on her face, but her thoughts fell on Jin Shu.
She remembered that Jin Shu left very early in the past.
It seems that it was this year that the Jin family sent a funeral message to the uncle's house, saying that Jin Shu had died of a long illness.
Mrs. Duan was very emotional when she took the post, saying that raising a child is not easy. She has worked hard to raise a child from infancy to one who can run and jump, and then to talk about getting married. After more than ten years of hard work, she has to worry about her.
The future, rather than fear of premature death, is...
Because she was a girl who died of illness in her boudoir, the Jin family was heartbroken, so they kept things simple and simple, and had no intention of letting people come to the door to add fragrance.
Lin Yunyan did go there.
Because Jinning is sick.
Ning Ning has been very close to her since birth, and she wants to find her when she feels uncomfortable.
Lin Yunyan took Jinning back to Bao'an Garden and stayed there for ten days. With Grandma Ma taking care of her, she could rest assured about her condition.
But at that time, Jinning was confused and had a conversation with Lin Yunyan in the middle of the night.
"The fifth sister has been ill for a long time. I want to go to her, but they don't let me go."
"I went there secretly once, and the fifth sister was covered with injuries."
"The fifth sister refused to take medicine and was forced to take it by grandma. It's so pitiful."
After that, Jinning fell asleep.
I asked her again after she woke up. The child was confused, her words didn't match her words, and she couldn't explain why.
When Lin Lang came to pick up Jinning, Lin Yunyan mentioned it to her.
Lin Lang's face didn't look very good at that time. He looked at his daughter who was talking to Grandma Ma and didn't say anything for a while.
After a long time, she said: "Little Ning Ning, even her dreams are real. She doesn't take medicine herself, but Ashu doesn't take medicine. This child is really... Yun Yan, don't take it to heart."
Lin Yunyan smiled and didn't mention it again.
First of all, Ning Ning is not yet five years old, so everything she sees and says must be discounted.
Furthermore, it was a matter between my aunt's mother-in-law's family, and my aunt obviously didn't want to mention it any more. Even if there was something involved, it wasn't like she just rushed to Jin's house and pointed out what to do.
We can't listen to Ning Ning saying that Jin Shu is injured, and she, an outsider who can barely hit her with an eight-pole pole, is shouting that she wants to dig a grave and open a coffin, right?
But now, Lin Yunyan is thinking about the past again...
She wants to save Jin Shu.
Ningning likes her fifth sister so much.
Jin Shu is about the same age as her, and Lin Yunyan has a good impression of her.
It’s a pity that a girl of the same age is missing.
And, somehow, she had a vague feeling in her heart that helping Jinshu would be beneficial to her.
Willow trees planted unintentionally create shade.
It was like she was running for the two boxes of gold bricks, but in the end she dug out the Zhu family and Wang Sixian, and found out the cause of His Royal Highness Ding Wang’s death.
Perhaps the same thing will happen with Jin Shu, giving her new gains in unexpected places.
So, where should she start...
Lin Yunyan turned to Lin Lang and asked: "Aunt, which flower cake did Ning Ning buy?"
"The one at the corner of Ruyifang Street," Lin Lang said with a smile, "Why are you so greedy? I should have bought a few more, because Ning Ning just cried and couldn't take care of it."
"It's okay, I'll send someone to buy it." Lin Yunyan said.
Ruyifang is in the west of the city, half a city away from Chengyi Bo's Mansion.
Lin Yunyan looked for Aunt Wang and exchanged a few words with her.
After the family had lunch, the energetic Jinning was finally tired enough to take a nap, and Grandma Wang came back.
Lin Yunyan saw her expression was strange, so she asked: "What did you find out?"
Aunt Wang said in a low voice: "The flower cake stall deals with regular customers and is recognized by all the neighbors."
Grandma Wang said that she was only focused on coaxing the children and scared other girls away. The host felt very sorry and wanted to buy flower cakes and send them as gifts.
The stall owner was very impressed with Jinning who had cried at the stall in the morning, so he said that he was a regular customer, so he didn't need to be so particular. The next time a customer came over, he could just talk to them.
Aunt Wang had a clever tongue and followed the question and asked about the residence of a regular customer.
"He said, it seems to be in Narcissus Alley," Grandma Wang's voice became even lower, "I wanted to ask again, but an old woman next to me winked at me, and then she whispered to me, that girl learned how to
Go to the outer chamber of the young master who caused such a fuss. Her son works as an errand in the government office and has met people. Princess, isn’t that..."
This time, it was Lin Yunyan's turn to be surprised.
