C13 Acacia Fructus

Lin Zhixiao's wife only turned around to greet him. After asking about Old Man Lin and Mistress Yang's condition, they chatted about some family matters.

As she spoke, she intentionally brought the conversation to her second daughter, Lin Yinhua, and asked, "After you came back, did the Silver Flower go to see you? "If you weren't the mediator, how could she marry into the Yang family? I told her that she would never forget your elder cousin's kindness."

"Old lady must be joking, I should be the one who does all this. It seems like I'm not in the mood to talk about kindness." Lin Zhixiao's wife laughed.

After accompanying Mistress Yang for a while, she was already thirsty. She picked up the chrysanthemum tea on the table, took two sips, then put down the bowl of tea and said, "Little Sister Silver Flower sent me a farewell letter yesterday. This child is very meticulous, and always does things meticulously, never making the slightest mistake, but forgets her own body.

"In two months time, the child's full moon wine will be served. Even if she doesn't invite me, I will have to run away by myself." Lin Zhixiao's wife jokingly added.

"On the day of the full moon wine, no one will invite anyone. The first to invite her first cousin, first cousin, you two must also give the child a name. With your blessings, the child will be rich in the future."

"The old lady is too kind." Lin Zhixiao's wife said with a smile.

Née Qin, who had been listening in on Lady Yang and Lin Zhixiao's wife's gossip, interrupted with a smile: "Xing`er is taking care of her little aunt in the Yang Mansion, so Mother can relax a little. I wonder if sister-in-law has heard of this?"

He revealed a mysterious expression.

"What is it?" Lin Zhixiao's wife asked doubtfully.

Mistress Yang looked coldly at the Qin, but the Qin didn't dare to look at her. She only smiled at Lin Zhixiao's wife and said in a low voice, "Young Master Zhu Mansion requests to marry Xing'er."

"Good news." Lin Zhixiao's wife laughed.

née Qin wanted to find out more about the Zhu Residence, but seeing that Lin Zhixiao's wife did not say another word, she smiled and said: "Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu do not agree, Xing'er is a peasant girl after all. They think Xing'er is too good to be."

"Cousin, what do you mean?" Lin Zhixiao's wife suddenly asked Lady Wang.

Lady Wang awkwardly smiled and said, "This matter is pretty close. Young Master Zhu has already persuaded Old Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, it's just that we still lack a matchmaker. I think that little sister Silver Flower can be a matchmaker."

"The good news is coming, it's all thanks to the old lady's good fortune." Lin Zhixiao's wife said to the Yang family with a smile.

She was talking to Lin Zhixiao's wife, so there was no need for her to interrupt. Although she was angry, it was inconvenient to express it, so she only smiled and said: "With you here, our family will be blessed."

After chatting for a while longer, Lin Zhixiao's wife stood up and prepared to take her leave.

Mistress Yang wholeheartedly wanted to keep Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law to eat at home, but Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law smiled and said that the family's old lady had already prepared dinner and invited her over for dinner. Mistress Yang smiled and declined, wanting to personally escort Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law out of the courtyard, but was stopped by Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law.

Everyone accompanied Lin Zhixiao's wife out of the house.

Seeing two wives carrying a wooden chest out from the courtyard, Lin Zhixiao's wife said to the two wives: "You two can go into the room to see the old lady, but it's just a small matter. I will personally send it, but the old lady will definitely not accept it. The last sentence was directed at Lady Wang.

"Cousin is so courteous, the old lady is really sorry." Lady Wang said with a troubled expression.

"It's just some small stuff." Lin Zhixiao's wife said with a smile. She turned around and looked at the frail little girl following behind the crowd, and smiled as she raised her hand.

When Lin Xin'er saw Lin Zhixiao's wife calling out to her, she immediately ran over with a smile. She shouted in a crisp voice, "Eldest Uncle's mother."

"Good child, today my aunt forgot to bring you a gift." He lifted his hand to remove a golden hairpin from his head and handed it over to Lin Xin'er. "Take this. If you have free time in the future, go and stay with your aunt and uncle for a few days. You can play with elder sister Huan'Er for a few days."

"Thank you for your kindness, aunt." Lin Xin'er said excitedly.

Lin Zhixiao's wife smiled and said to Lady Wang, "This child is quite pitiful. He has a good mouth and I think he likes it."

"It was only when Cousin mentioned Huan'er that I remembered. When I came here, Huan'er asked me to accompany her in embroidering. I promised her to sit down and return. Now, after sitting for so long, will Huan'er be mad at me?" Mrs Wang laughed.

"Huan'er knows how to hold a grudge."

"Cousin, please speak for me."

As they chatted, they had already left the courtyard.

Lin Xin'er had been nudged by née Wang just now. The crowd that had followed her earlier was busy nudging her to the end. Seeing that the figure had already left, she turned around and returned to the courtyard.

"Little girl, your mother borrowed half of the village but didn't manage to borrow any teacups or tea leaves." Little girl, your mother borrowed half of the village but didn't manage to borrow teacups or tea leaves either. As Mrs Zhao spoke, she looked at the golden hairpin in Lin Xin'er's hand and said with a surprised expression, "Where did this come from?"

"Second Grandmother gave it to me." Lin Xin'er held the golden hairpin in her hand and weighed it in her hand. How much can it sell for? He was calculating in his heart.

Mrs Zhao, however, urged: "Hurry up and hand her over to your grandma."

"It was Second Grandmother's aunt who gave it to me. Why should I give it to Grandmother?" Lin Xin'er asked doubtfully.

Mrs Zhao said anxiously: "Everything in our family has to be handed over to your grandmother. If your grandmother finds out and sends you back, it won't be that good. We will definitely get a scolding."

"Mom, I understand." Lin Xin'er sighed and walked into the room with the golden hairpin in hand. She saw that the Yang family was having the Qin family send off two women.

When the two women left, Mistress Yang looked at the open wooden chest, and asked Lin Xin'er: "What are you here for? If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first. "

"Grandma, when Second Grandma's aunt left, she gave me a golden hairpin to keep safe. She said that when she's free in the future, she will send someone to take me to stay for a few days. Grandma, I was thinking, when I go to her house in the county, do I need to wear a golden hairpin?" It was taken from her head by her aunt, her own body. "

"Store it carefully by yourself. When the time comes, you won't be able to take it out and will make others sad. We have a thief in our house, so we have to be careful of him." As she spoke, her eyes glanced outside the door.

Outside the door, Madame Zhou had just stepped into the room when she heard Madame Yang's strange words, as if she were talking about her. She raised her head and sneered, "What kind of good thing am I? A golden hairpin? No one has ever seen a golden hairpin before. Which of my family's sister-in-law doesn't have a golden hairpin? That is me? Married a poor man? Nothing. Not even a silver hairpin.

"You think the Lin Clan is poor, so hurry up and leave." I'm not bragging. As soon as you leave, I can marry a girl from Huang Hua. You are still not qualified to be arrogant in front of me. " The Yang family sneered.

Second Aunt, look at my Eldest Aunt and Fourth Aunt. Who's complaining? Which one of them said our Lin Family wasn't good? You can't keep talking about other people's families. Lin Xin'er said with a smile.

When Mistress Yang saw Lin Xin'er, she smiled and said in a loving tone, "Good child, I won't trouble you to speak the truth. If she had you to understand, she wouldn't have angered me to death every day. Today, your Second Aunt's eldest uncle was such a generous person.

While she was speaking, she took out a small piece of rose-red cloth from the box and handed it to Lin Xin'er. "Have your mother make you some nice clothes. When she brings you to the county town for a full moon wine, you'll look better."

Lin Xin'er could not contain her joy and took the cloth, and said ingratiatingly: "Second Grandmother admires Grandma's conduct, and specially prepared a gift for Grandmother. The precious gift just happens to show how respectful Second Grandmother is."

Hearing that the official's wife respected her, Mistress Yang happily said, "I didn't say that there's no one in this town who doesn't praise me. Instead, there's a wicked woman who wants to overtake me and treat me like a dead person."

"Mom, I said the wrong thing just now. Don't be angry." Master Zhou forcefully suppressed his anger and smiled as he apologized. She wasn't an idiot. Seeing Madame Yang casually give a piece of cloth to Lin Xin'er, she was both envious and jealous. Thus, she smiled and said, "Guo'er has always been thinking of her aunt. On the day of eating full moon wine, Guo'er also wants to come along and take care of you on the way."

"No need." Yang Shi said with a cold face.

"The Yang Mansion is overjoyed, hoping that we can get better and better. Logically speaking, if all of us went, it would be more lively." Mrs Zhou said ingratiatingly.

Mistress Yang coldly snorted and said, "What are you guys doing? Go and embarrass me. Look at your way of doing things. There are happy events in your families. You went to eat and drink. You even stole some things, making me lose my face."

Madame Zhou lowered her face, discontented. It was obviously the Yang family that had asked them to take it. Now that they were going to the county city to take it, she actually didn't let them take it. "The Yang family doesn't have any good things, no matter how much they take, no one will find out." "The Yang Mansion is huge, and no one would dare to check if anything is missing, how could they lose face? Moreover, if we go to aunt's house, who dares to have dirty hands and feet, even if it is gold that falls in front of me, I wouldn't dare to pick it up."

"Come on. With your character, I don't know who you're looking at. If you really have a piece of gold in front of your eyes and you don't go and pick it up, I really admire you." Yang Shi coldly said.

Madame Zhou smiled. "Mother, little sister Silver Flower definitely has a son. You just have to eat wedding wine. When the time comes, I won't go to the county town. I'll stay at home and watch over our house. I'll let Guo'er and Xin Er accompany you."

"Your plan is too early, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Yang Shi's tone was slightly slower than before.
