Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 4 Grandmother's Teachings

The dishes for the evening were cooked by my aunt herself. The wild game was cooked deliciously, but Lin Qingran was young, and the Lu family didn't let her eat too much meat, so she just tasted it.

They ate quickly, and the rest of the time was for grandfather, uncle and father to barbecue and chat with these game meats. The third sister took her for a walk in the yard. Lin Qingran saw her cousin in the pavilion not far away and pulled her away. Pulling the third sister's sleeve, "Sister, let's go there."

The three sisters walked over, and Lu Xiangsong and Lu Xiangyi in the pavilion seemed a little nervous. Both of them lived with General Lu and the others, and hadn't had much contact with girls. Seeing Lin Qingran looking up at them, Lu Xiangyi imitated his father and put She hugged her and sat on the stone bench. On the stone table was a cage with a snow-white rabbit inside.

"This rabbit is so cute." Fourth sister Lin Qingyun stretched out her hand and lightly touched the rabbit's fur protruding from the cage, and then looked back at her second cousin Lu Xiangsong, smiling and showing two cute little canine teeth.

Lu Xiangsong scratched his hair in embarrassment, and smiled, Lin Qingran was much more straightforward, "Cousin, do you want to eat this?"

Lu Xiangyi shook his head, "Catch it and raise it."

"Then give it to the fourth sister, okay?" Lin Qingran grabbed the carrot on the table with her small hand and poked it into the cage. The rabbit seemed to be full, and ignored the carrot, lying there with her head buried, like a statue.

Lu Xiangyi patted her head and smiled, "It was caught and given to you. I wanted to catch a few more."

Lin Qingran shook her head, "Then give it to the third and fourth sisters, I can go and see in their yard." Raising small animals is too much effort, Lin Qingran raised a pot of cactus in her previous life and could have killed them. A living creature, she really might.

Lin Qingyun likes this fluffy one. When she heard that her cousin was going to give it to them, she said thank you. The action of holding a carrot and trying to feed the rabbit was much gentler than Lin Qingran.

They stayed in Lu's house overnight, and they went back to Lin's house the next afternoon.

When they got into the carriage, my cousin changed another cage and gave them the rabbit. My aunt asked them to bring a lot of things in the carriage, and the boxes at the back of the carriage were full.

Lin Qingran fell asleep as soon as she got into the carriage. Lu Shi was afraid that she would be motion sick, so she asked her husband to hug her against the door frame, blowing some wind, and the carriage bumped along the way. When she woke up, she was already home.

Lin Qingran was woken up by her father in a daze, and just about to get off the carriage, she suddenly heard someone outside the carriage saw her father going out, and called son-in-law affectionately.

With this cry, Lin Qingran thought her grandfather had come with them.

Mrs. Lu picked up Lin Qingran, and opened the curtain with a bang. Just outside the gate of Lin's house, there was a man and a woman holding a package in their arms. They were dressed like rural people, and when they saw their husbands, they all smiled and grinned. Out.

Carrying her daughters off the carriage one by one, Lin Wenxi frowned and looked at the two people who had been trying to get close, "Who are you?"

"Son-in-law Lin, you also asked who we are. We are her parents, but what about your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" The woman with the towel wrapped around her head said that she was familiar, and even wanted to move forward. When he came to pull Lin Wenxi, he was stopped by the coachman.

Lu Shi didn't know the person in front of her, but how could she not know Ding Xiang? Wasn't it the concubine that her mother-in-law found from her hometown for her husband when she gave birth to Xiao Liu at the end of last year.

Mrs. Lu glanced at Lin Wenxi with a half-smile, hugged Lin Qingran, and held her daughter's hand, "Let's go in."

Lin Qingran glanced back, the two looked at her father with flattering expressions, and then at her mother's face, tonight, father is going to sleep in the study again

The next afternoon, when Mother took them to Qinghui Courtyard to pay their respects, she met those two people again. Yesterday they were at the gate of Lin's house, but this time they were in grandmother's house.

Mrs. Lu didn't show any dissatisfaction, and took the children to greet Mrs. Liu, and was about to go back, but Mrs. Liu wanted them to stay, pointing to the two sitting there, a man and a woman, and introduced to Mrs. Lu, "No There is no distance, these are Uncle Ding and Aunt Seven of the village, and they are not called people."

In terms of politeness, elders should be called uncle and aunt, but these two people saw their husband-in-law at the gate yesterday and called their son-in-law. Now when Lu Shi sees them, he is very nervous, so he directly said to Liu Shi , "Mother, I don't know which family this is a relative of ours."

"Your Uncle Ding and Aunt Seven helped our Lin family a lot back then. Wenxi is able to do what he is today thanks to Uncle Qi and his help. You are not relatives of our family, so you can't shout." On the face, Liu's voice raised, which puts the mother-in-law's posture to the full. Once she said it, she couldn't stop it. How she raised her two children in hardships, and how a widow supported her son to study , if it weren't for the help from the neighbors and the subsidies from the villagers, there would be no mothers.

Lin Qingran had heard these words no less than ten times, let alone the Lu family.

The past was indeed not easy, and it was really because of the difficult past, so to a certain extent, the Lu family still respects this mother-in-law very much, and can ignore some of her words, but this does not include even being able to ignore those words.

"Forget about Wenxi's mother, this is the daughter of the General's Mansion, we can't bear it, stop shouting, it's almost the same if we salute her." Aunt Ding waved her hand and said to Liu Shi, her eyes still Twinkle, twinkle.

Lin Qingran could see it clearly, so it was clearly adding fuel to the flames. In the future, whoever told her that all the people from the village were simple and kind, she would be anxious with whoever, and there were also top-quality ones. There was an aunt before, and this one later Aunt Ding Qi likes to tease people.

What Mrs. Liu couldn't hear the most was these words, her face darkened immediately, she slapped the armrest of the chair and scolded, "The daughter of the general's mansion entered the door of our Lin family, she is the daughter-in-law of our Lin family, and she is guarding us According to the rules of the Lin family, you have to call someone!"

Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, and Aunt Ding immediately followed Mrs. Liu's words, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are people with a low life. Yesterday, Mr. Lin's son-in-law didn't recognize us. If you didn't come out to pick us up Yes, we don't know where to live, it's the first time we've come back to Luodu City, this place is unfamiliar."

As he said that, he was about to cry.

Lin Qingran finally understood why her mother never argued with her grandmother. This ancient culture was extremely filial. Grandma used to pay so much for her father. But if Mother Fan said it was wrong, it was unfilial. She would be beaten by Yushitai Small report, besides, if you reason with an uneducated woman, you will definitely be the one who gets mad at the end.

Mrs. Lu saw Aunt Ding wiping her tears and being sad, and without explaining much, she said directly to Mrs. Liu, "Mother, there is only one father-in-law of your husband, and that is General Lu of the current dynasty. Dear, it is the father-in-law and mother-in-law of Xianggong, let someone who cares listen to it, and tell Yushitai, Xianggong will be ashamed in front of the court ministers, if it affects his future and makes the emperor unhappy, our whole family You have to follow the guilt."

Mrs. Lu bit the words that the Holy Master is not happy, and then added slowly, "You may not be sure, but in the court today, some people will say that your husband is not right."

In addition to eating his son's tricks, Mrs. Liu also cared about the "sage's thoughts". This is the person who can kill them immediately with a single sentence. Mrs. Lu immediately bluffed all three of them Living.

Uncle Ding Qi and Aunt Ding Qi are afraid. Yushitai and the others have never heard of it, but they know that the Holy Majesty is not happy. It will be beheaded. There is a family in the town who sold it in private Salt, that is, the Holy One was not happy, and when he found out, the whole family pulled it out and chopped it.

Aunt Ding stopped her tears immediately, and touched her neck subconsciously. Her hands were still shaking a little, and she pulled Uncle Latin to stop crying, "Let's go back."

After all, Mrs. Liu has lived in Luodu City for several years. She didn't react like they did, but she was also concerned about her son's future. It was more important to get along with her daughter-in-law than her son's future, and Mrs. Liu naturally chose the latter.

Now, people don't have to shout anymore, they just took some money to Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding Qi, and sent someone to send them out, and hurried back to the village.

As soon as the person was sent away, Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Lu still disliked. At the end of last year, she found two concubines in her own village. These plump figures were easy to give birth to, and her son didn't even touch her. have grandchildren.

The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is either because of their personality differences, dislike for each other, or one or both parties are difficult to serve. Leaving aside the matter of deliberately finding fault and continuing the incense, it is a crucial point in the middle.

Coming out of Qinghui Courtyard, Mrs. Lu received another lesson from her mother-in-law about taking concubines and having children.

She followed the order, and when Lin Wenxi came back at night, she couldn't get in again.

Lin Wenxi went to her daughter's house again, and she hadn't been in the house for two nights. Lin Qingran said that there was nothing wrong, and looked at Lin Wenxi innocently, "Mother said, I won't be allowed to sleep with her for a month, and it's thundering and raining." None, if you are afraid of the dark, let the nanny sleep with you."

Lin Wenxi saw the sympathy on her daughter's face, smiled, sat down, hugged her into his arms, and patted her head, "What did grandfather say to your mother today."

Lin Qingran recounted clearly how her grandmother threatened her mother to persuade her father to go to the concubine's room, and then told her again that she was a jealous woman by getting the girl out and having no descendants.

The more Lin Wenxi listened, the more his head became more and more dizzy. This is really idle and nothing to do, and it will only add to his confusion.

"Father, anyway, mother can't get in, why don't you teach me how to read." Lin Qingran pointed to the small table, and Mother Li moved the small table for her and put it away, and put it away with a pen and paper.

Seeing that she was so eager to learn, Lin Wenxi let her sit in his arms, took a pen and wrote her name on the rice paper to teach her to recognize. Lin Qingran studied very seriously, Xueba father and Xueba daughter, the two of them carried the lamp Literacy, this time flies very fast.

Lin Wenxi was amazed by her daughter's intelligence. She looked down at her little finger and read the words one by one in the book. When she was unsure, she looked up at herself. Lin Wenxi was more proud. When she looked at the hourglass opposite, it was over. It's time for her to sleep, and I want to carry her to bed.

In fact, Lin Qingran was sleepy a long time ago. She hugged her father's neck and walked just a few steps. She was already half asleep on the bed and refused to let go. She was still muttering about her father. When he took her hand away, she would As if he was about to cry, he refused to let go in his sleep, and his expression was very afraid that he would go away.

Lin Wenxi simply hugged her and lay down.

After more than half an hour, Mrs. Lu next door heard from Mrs. Wang that the master was still in Miss Fifth's room, so she went over to look worriedly. Mrs. Li opened the door for her. Under the dim candlelight, her husband was lying on the bed with his daughter in his arms. Asleep, the daughter's small figure shrank in his surround, the light reflected her peaceful face, she slept extraordinarily peacefully
