Chapter 55 Condolences
When the mother-in-law sent by the big house took away Mrs. Li, Yuzhu was still immersed in the grief and anger that could not be dismissed. Although she had persuaded Mrs. Li just now, her starting point was that her house would not be involved. If
She was in the same situation as the Li family, with her natal family not supporting her, her mother-in-law making things difficult, and her husband still lingering on the sickbed... Yu Zhu clenched her fists, at least she felt better. As a legitimate wife, even if her husband died young and had no heirs, she could still live again.
If a son in the clan adopts a son to inherit the incense, no one will be harsh...
She would not do anything scandalous like Li's, because if she was found out, she would be killed with a bowl of poison. She had already noticed that Li's ambitions were not small after the conversation, and she was not willing to be abandoned by the clan as a widow.
Keep it up, she wants children, and as long as she has a legitimate son, she will have a chance to win the title. After all, the eldest son's inheritance system is orthodox. [26nbsp;]
After thinking about it, she still put it down. Yuzhu stood up indifferently. It was none of her own business, was it? She was protecting her own people. No matter how pitiful or miserable others were, it was God's business, and she
I really can't sympathize with Ms. Li. She has caused a lot of trouble for the third room. Even though Ms. Cui has kept this matter secret, Yu Zhu still has a hunch that this matter will not end so easily.
If it really breaks out, the entire Lin family will experience a big change.
"Tell the kitchen to make a pot of tea to calm the panic."
The piano wire retreated in response.
Zaoyuan didn't know what happened. She just felt that after the eldest mistress left, her young lady became so cold, as if she was a different person. She didn't dare to disturb her, so she just waited quietly.
He is really a good master, no matter how bad his mood is, he will not beat or scold his servants, so Zaoyuan, Hua Ruo, and Yin Lian are waiting by him calmly, without worrying about being offended.
The small kitchen was very efficient, and the tea was brewed in a short time. Looking at the teapot in the little maid's hand, Yu Zhu shook his head and thought to himself that if he went now, his second brother might feel uncomfortable, so he directly ordered Yin Lian to send it over.
.
After Yin Lian led the little maid holding the teapot away, Yu Zhu held her chin in a daze again.
The serious and old-fashioned second brother has been shocked this time, and he should be more condensed. I wonder if he will have... feelings for women, and the fourth brother who is adventurous and funny has been living in luxury since he was a child.
After being raised, I don’t know if I can endure the hardships in the military camp...
The second brother has been appointed as a concubine, awarded the title of Jinshi, and will be edited by the Hanlin Academy. He will soon enter the official career. The four of them are in the army and they don’t know how often they will come back. What will happen if they go to the battlefield in the future?
I can’t see each other in person. I’m going to get married in a few years, to someone I don’t know, have children and grow old... Why do people have to grow up?
Occasionally letting himself be sad for a while, Yu Zhu became lively again, determined to be nicer to his brothers, and shouted: "Come, follow me to the small kitchen, make some food to satisfy the fourth brother's hunger." After thinking about it, he ordered Hua Ruo.
: "First, go search among the needlework I made a few days ago and find the shirt I made for my fourth brother and wrap it up."
In the evening, Lin Zongji, who was far away in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing, received another huge bundle. He casually rewarded the sweaty boy and carried it into his tent. He had to hug it, the same one from last time.
He could still lift it with one hand, but this time it was too big and heavy, and he couldn't bear to drag it...
"Oh, something has arrived from home again." The person who spoke had just finished taking a shower, and his ink-dyed black hair was dripping with water. The water droplets went down along the sexy neck and submerged into the collar. It was Duke Dingguo's mansion.
The second legitimate son was Cheng Xunxun.
Lin Zongji was a little embarrassed. He felt like a child who couldn't leave home. He had suffered a lot since entering the military camp and was not used to many places. Thanks to Brother Cheng's help, although he didn't know that this person looked so cold.
Why would a hard-hearted person take such good care of himself? But he was still very grateful.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's a good thing that my mother is in such pain." Under the oil lamp, Cheng Xunxun's face was dazed for a moment, and he frowned slightly.
Lin Zongji was busy unpacking. Although it was a bit embarrassing for his sister and teacher to bring things, he was still very happy. The food from home not only filled his stomach, but also warmed his heart and relieved his longing. After listening to Cheng Xunxun's words, he
He hurriedly explained: "It's not my mother, my sister did it." After a moment of pause, she said a little shyly: "My mother was busy with my second brother, so she didn't have time to prepare food for me." She seemed to be aware of the sourness in her breath.
, shut your mouth immediately.
Cheng Xunxun's dark eyes were full of smiles. Generally, the children of big families are either full of scheming or full of bad ideas from childhood. It's rare that this kid is still so innocent, and people can't help but protect him. His surname is Lin, but it makes him
He remembered the carriage with the logo of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion engraved on it when he passed the city gate last time, and the mocking laughter. He didn't know whether the woman was his sister or older.
"Ah, this is -" the young man remembered with a voice of surprise. He raised his head and saw Lin Zongji holding a strange-looking white shirt in his hand. He picked up another one unceremoniously and looked at it. It was delicate and should be of good quality.
The Jiangnan thin cotton has no buttons and looks like a pullover. The sleeves are very short and can only cover a little of the arms. The most shocking thing is the embroidery on the shirt. The edges, cuffs and collar are all embroidered with black thread.
It has simple patterns, but on its chest is a colorful and roaring tiger, with hair spread out and sharp teeth. Its two front paws are resting on the rocks. The scratches on the sides are ferocious and sharp. The whole tiger seems to be about to be ripped apart.
He jumps out, pounces on his prey and bites off the neck of his prey. You can imagine how intimidating he is when wearing this shirt.
Lin Zongji happily looked through the two shirts and said with a smile: "My sister's skills have improved again. Her embroidery is so good. Really, just make one. How much effort does it take to make two such large embroideries?"
Ah." The distress in his tone was obvious.
"You kid, you can just snicker when you have such a good sister. You are not afraid of being struck by lightning." Cheng Xunxun smiled and punched him on the back, then put down the cotton shirt in his hand with some reluctance.
"How do you know it was your sister who embroidered it? Or maybe it was the maid who embroidered it." Another person in the same tent was Wan Zhong, the youngest son of General Zhongyong who had never dealt with Lin Zongji very well. He had been in for a while.
Seeing Lin Zongji's smiling face, he felt a little depressed for some reason.
Lin Zongji folded it carefully and put it aside. He turned around and asked Wan Zhong seriously: "Does your maid have such good craftsmanship?"
Wan Zhong thought of the appalling embroidery done by the maid in his sewing room. He didn't know how many times he urged her to change to a better embroiderer. Her father said that men should not wear those fancy embroidered clothes, so she had to make do with "plain" clothes.
Yes, it would save the embarrassment to wear out the embroidery. At this moment, Lin Zongji poked him in the foot and couldn't help but glare at him.
Lin Zongji ignored him and skillfully took out the food from the food box and asked Cheng Xunxun to come over to eat. He glanced at Wan Zhong again: "Come here after eating. Do you want me to treat you?"
Wan Zhong immediately gave up his principles and sat down on his back.
