Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Birds like wild geese return from spring to autumn, and now it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and they have already disappeared without a trace. Even if they have learned how to catch them, they will not be able to find them for a while.

But Lin Hai still asked Liu Xianglian in detail where they found the geese, where they usually like to inhabit, what their living habits are, and how to catch them.

He was selected as a Tanhua at the age of 19, and he has been an official for 30 years now, and he has rarely made any mistakes in government affairs. He is well-known, Liu Xianglian said it once, and he said it again in his heart. Remember everything you need to pay attention to.

Now that Liu Xianglian solved the problem in Lin Hai's heart, Lin Hai couldn't help but find him pleasing to the eye, and followed the words just now: "When you first came to the Lin family, I saw that you still had a bit of frivolity. In a few years, you are quite different from before."

"You are upright by nature, but looking at you in the past, I always felt that you were not settled. Last autumn, Madam told me that she wanted to make a marriage between you and Yinglian. I still had doubts in my heart, but now they have completely disappeared."

When he saw Duke Chu and his wife in the morning, Duke Chu only had a slight smile on his face, and all he said was Mrs. Su and Liu Xianglian talking.

Since six or seven years ago, the Duke of Chu has been the one most worthy of his admiration among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in Liu Xianglian's heart.

After so many years, he has met many capable and loyal ministers than at that time, and he also knows that the officials are cured and made clear, but because they have a relationship with the Lin family, Miss Lian is the niece of the Duke of Chu. Xianglian was still very different in her heart.

It has been five years since I met Chu Guogong for the first time, and this is the first time that Chu Guogong praised him so much in person!

Liu Xianglian was very excited, her face flushed, and she interpreted all the doubts about the wild goose in her heart just now that it was Chu Guogong testing him, and hurriedly bowed and clasped her fists to salute: "Your junior can't afford such a compliment as a Duke!"

Lin Hai waved him to get up, with a very serious face: "I don't speak falsehoods, since you are engaged to Yinglian, you are also a junior of my Lin family, so you don't need to be so polite. Just follow Yinglian and call him uncle."

Liu Xianglian was flattered!He completely forgot about the wild geese and the wild geese, and clasped his fists together and said, "Uncle has orders, the younger generation must obey them!"

Lin Hai nodded, and said again: "You must know a little about Yinglian's life experience."

Liu Xianglian's heart was tense, and she was about to speak, but Lin Hai waved his hand to stop him, and said: "Although Yinglian is not my wife's biological child, she has been raised under our knees for seven or eight years. Although there are some differences in names, I and my wife Madam has long regarded her as her own daughter."

"In the past, Yinglian's marriage was not going well. She made a promise to her by mistake and suffered a lot of grievances. Her own children were wronged. As an elder, she must make up for it. I feel at ease."

"The Lin family has always had few heirs. When the direct branch came to me, there was only one male heir, Lin Zhao. My father had a younger brother who died young, and there was no heir. Therefore, we made an agreement and put Yinglian on the throne." Genealogy, in the future, recruit a son-in-law or pass on the heirs at both ends. One, it promotes Yinglian's identity, and the other, it also makes my Lin family's direct branch more prosperous."

Lin Hai looked at Liu Xianglian and said, "Xianglian, when Madam and you privately agreed on Yinglian's marriage last year, your identity was not revealed yet. In terms of identity, you and Yinglian's heirs are also compatible."

"But now you have become a young general. Following Liang Guogong, you see a bright future in your eyes. Even if you don't marry the Lin family, there are many high-ranking officials who want to marry their daughter to you. But you are still willing to follow the previous agreement. It is indeed a gentleman's work to send it off."

"It's just that young people are always impulsive."

Lin Hai's voice was neither happy nor angry, but it made Liu Xianglian's heart beat violently. Lin Hai continued: "Xianglian, I only ask you this time. If you repent today and want to marry another daughter in the future, you can take Dingli away. , the Lin family will never blame you."

"But if you don't say it today, you will regret it later, my Lin family..."

Lin Hai stopped talking, but the meaning in his words was very clear.

Speaking of this point, Liu Xianglian settled down instead. He saluted again and said seriously: "Uncle, this junior is not someone who waits and sees and changes. Since Yinglian has been identified, she will be the only one in this life, and there will be no one. Two-hearted. Vows are easy to change, uncle only sees the younger generation's actions."

Lin Hai stroked his beard in satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "What is your name Yinglian?"

Liu Xianglian was very embarrassed, just now he was in a hurry to confess, and accidentally said the name of Miss Lian in private, and he regretted it when he realized it.

Just when he didn't know how to explain it, he saw Duke Chu smiled meaningfully, waved at him and said, "Go ahead, it's getting late, you go back and pack up, and come to dinner at night."

Not to mention how embarrassed Liu Xianglian was when she bowed her head and bowed to leave. She didn't know how to face Chu Guogong and his wife at night.

He only said that Lin Hai saw Liu Xianglian go away, carefully recalled what he had just said to him, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he asked the maids, "Madam is still there?"

When the old man and his wife quarreled, all the maids and women in the yard were worried. They exchanged news from time to time in the front and back yards to ensure that the old man and his wife could answer each other's questions immediately.

So when Lin Hai asked, the girls immediately answered yes.Lin Hai hesitated for a while, and finally took off the cloak from the shelf, calmed down, and walked out the door.

As soon as he stepped into the small door connecting the front yard and the back yard, Lin Hai heard the laughter of their mother and daughter coming from Daiyu's room, and thinking that he could only talk to that bastard Liu Xianglian for half a day, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

But in the end it was more important to coax his wife, Lin Hai sighed inwardly, walked up the corridor and up the steps.

The girl is already grown up, and it is not easy for a father to go to the girl's boudoir.So Lin Hai went to the door of Daiyu's house, but didn't go in. He just stood under the window and asked, "Ma'am? Ma'am, we have dinner in less than an hour. Xianglian is here today. What do you want to tell the kitchen?" No?"

In the house, Wen Jiao put her arms around Ying Lian and asked if she was happy today. Dai Yu, together with Lu Qing and Wen Jiao, teased Ying Lian so much that her face turned red, she buried her head in Wen Jiao's arms, and said angrily: " My sisters say I'm fine, why is my aunt like this? My aunt doesn't love me anymore, so I won't obey!"

Wen Jiao was smiling all over his face, and just about to speak, when he heard Lin Hai calling her outside, his expression froze immediately.

It was the first time Daiyu saw her father like this, she couldn't help laughing, and wondered what her father had done to make her so angry that she had to come and look for someone in person, and wondered why her father was so affectionate to General Liu, and even called out "Xianglian".

She pushed Lu Qing with one hand, pulled Yinglian with the other, and gave her two winks. Seeing that Mother didn't speak, she smiled out of the window and said, "Father, Mother is here. Since Father has something to do with Mother, we won't get along with you." Mother is messing around, isn't she, Sister Lian, Qing'er?"

Yinglian and Lu Qing also knew that Lin Haiwenjiao had quarreled, and they knew what was going on when they saw this scene.Daiyu and Yinglian each held Wen Jiao's hand, and Lu Qing pushed from behind. The three girls dragged Wen Jiao off the kang, dragged her to the main room, put a cloak on her, surrounded her and went out. .

Wen Jiao didn't expect that Lin Hai could pull his face down and come directly to the girls' yard to look for her.

Besides, after talking and laughing with the children for so long, most of the anger in her heart had already dissipated, and she also knew that the marriage was granted by the imperial decree, and there was no relationship between her and Lin Hai. It's summer, where can I find wild geese?

What Lin Hai showed at that time was actually a great respect for her—or for the Su family and the imperial decree.

But Wen Jiao was still awkward in his heart, and walked up to Lin Hai half-heartedly, lowered his head and didn't look at him, and pretended not to know that Daiyu was giving Lin Hai winks behind him.

Lin Hai pulled Wen Jiao's hand cheekily in front of the children, coughed, and said, "We're going back first, you guys have fun, don't forget to come for dinner tonight."

After saying this, Lin Hai couldn't hold it any longer, he hurriedly pulled Wen Jiao and turned around to go out. The maids were all very winking, and they followed the two masters from a distance, and even the sound of breathing slowed down. .

The weather was very good that day, the sky was blue in the morning without a cloud.At this time, the sun was slanting to the west, and a few very thin clouds floated from the sky, which were dyed golden yellow by the setting sun, and shone on the fur of Wen Jiao's cloak, casting a layer of golden light.

Wen Jiao knew that Lin Hai was looking at her all the time, but she just didn't raise her head or speak, thinking that she would be 30 soon, and she was going to be self-willed today, to see what she could do.

The two walked extremely slowly, and it took almost a quarter of an hour for the short distance from the gate of Daiyu's house to the gate of Lin Haiwenjiao.

Seeing that Lin Hai never opened his mouth, Wen Jiao's half-soft heart became a little annoyed again, and when he saw the door close in front of him, he wanted to let go of Lin Hai's hand and leave him alone, and went back to the room by himself.

Lin Hai hurriedly grabbed her, and the dignified man who was born in the country thought about what he wanted to give him credit for, but he couldn't say a word, so he said dryly, "I called Liu Xianglian here just now."

Wen Jiao stopped, and finally looked up at Lin Hai.

This glance gave Lin Hai great encouragement.With a smile on his face, he continued: "I praised him once, saying that he was willing to follow the previous agreement to send the order, which is a gentleman's act, and then asked him if he would not change the agreement."

"Hey, I was thinking that since his marriage with Yinglian has been decided today, I will tell him to go with Yinglian and call you my uncle and aunt. What does Yueniang think?"

Wen Jiao couldn't help covering his mouth with the back of his hand and laughed, raised his head and stared at Lin Hai for a while, and said with a smile: "Oh, our Lord Chu also likes his niece and son-in-law so much, really call me Eye-opening, heart-wrenching admiration."

Lin Hai's ears turned red visibly, Wen Jiao saw it, and asked with a smile, "That's all you said to him? Did you say anything else?"

Besides these, Lin Hai did say something else to Liu Xianglian.But he hesitated for a moment, but said: "There is nothing else, I am in a hurry to find you, and I have no time to say anything else."

Wen Jiao glanced at Lin Hai suspiciously, and asked a few more words, seeing that Lin Hai didn't say anything, she snorted softly: "Just don't say anything, I will always know. Today is a good day, I will forgive you for a while."

That night, two tables of banquets were set up in Wen Jiao's main room. In the main room were Lin Hai and Liu Xianglian Qingyu, and in the room Wen Jiao took the four girls from the oldest to the youngest to sit.

Seeing that Lin Hai was not very affectionate to Liu Xianglian at the table, at least he didn't put on a cold face, like an elder.Wen Jiao thought again that today, in order to make her happy, he specially summoned Liu Xianglian to encourage her to say good things, and she let the matter pass in her heart.

At this time, there are only 20 days left before the Chinese New Year. This is the first year of the Lin family after Lin Hai was made Duke of Chu, and Wen Jiao was already busy.

In addition, within a few days, Han Qiongying brought Jing Lan and Jingxi over to stay for a few days, and then went to talk to Su Wenzhe, which worried Wen Jiao for a long time.

It was so easy to rest for a few days after the new year, and it was Daiyu's Jiji ceremony again. Wen Jiao wanted to make a big deal, while preparing for this, and at the same time preparing for the Jiji ceremony, he set off for Beijing. He was so busy that he almost forgot the date, so he put Wanting to know what Lin Hai was hiding from her that day, I forgot.

On February [-]th, the Lin family set off from Ganzhou. After traveling for a month in hundreds of cars with people and luggage, they finally returned to the capital city after four years of absence.

Because the Duke of Chu's mansion is still being repaired, and the last one or two months of construction is missing, the Lin family will temporarily live in the original old house.

After returning to Beijing, socializing with relatives and friends was another matter. Wen Jiao was very busy packing up and receiving posts, and he was always at ease with Lin Hai. The servant, in fact, took his men and horses to the water's edge in the suburbs.
