Matrilocal Marriage

"Old slave, can you get it?" The old housekeeper wanted to help Yun'an get the wooden box, but Yunan hid for a while and said, "It's not a heavy object, I can just take it myself."

"Yes."

The old housekeeper led the four people inside. Outside, a family member helped unload the things that Lu Song brought back from the carriage.

Lin Buyu asked, "Are all the sisters back?"

The old butler replied: "If you go back to the eldest lady, the second lady is not in good health, and the second aunt came back by herself. The third lady is still on the way, I guess she will be back in a few days."

"Second sister is also sick?" Lin Buyu frowned, his face (color) not very good.

Lin Buyu is a taboo person who believes in Feng Shui fate. In time of the big day, her sisters are all sick. This is not a good sign.

In particular, her auntie is getting older now, and both of her pro-daughter and concubine are sick. Her elderly must be sad.

Lin Buyu walked around to the other side of Lu Song and said to Yun'an beside him: "There are only four of our sisters in the mansion. There will be three festivals and two lives throughout the year. On this day of great joy, second sister, four My sister can’t come back due to illness. How much do you persuade mother and ask her to relax, if you can... It’s best to tell mother that the fourth sister’s (body shen) body is not in the way, so as not to worry her elderly, just looking at it is right. When the days are over, if the mother is so tired that she catches a fire again and becomes ill...it means that we are not children anymore."

Yun An couldn't help praising Lin Buyu for being able to bear the eldest daughter's demeanor in his heart, and said positively: "Sister, don't worry, I will go back to the room to take a shower (more geng) clothes, and then go to my mother to please my mother." Didn't it happen that there was no reason to go and see Mother Lin alone?

When they reached the fork in the road, Yun'an and Lu's family separated and went back to the small courtyard where she and Lin Buxian used to live alone.

The maids in the small courtyard were very happy to see Yun'an back, and lined up to greet Yun'an. Looking at their expectant and puzzled eyes, Yun'an proactively explained: "Your lady is sick, and the journey is far away. I stayed in Yongzhou with her guard and Yuyi, and did not come back this time.” Seeing the disappointed look of the maids, Yunan once again felt that the feelings of people in this era are really simple, especially these maids, life The range of "" was drawn out early in the morning, and their days were too regular. For them, the center of their lives was the Fourth Miss.

"Xi'er, can you boil some (wash xi) bath water for me?"

Xi'er called a Wanfu and asked, "Auntie, do you want to go back to the room to wash? Not going to Tangchi?"

Yun'an then remembered that Lin Mansion had a Tangchi, and there was always hot water in Tangchi.

"Look at me (sexual xing), I forgot everything when I left the door, then there is no need, you can go to work."

"Yes, call the slave maid if you give me any orders."

...

After bathing (more geng) clothes, Yunan brought the animal head crutches that King Ning gave to Mother Lin to the "Incense Offering". The maid at the door was asked to pass on the pass, and only got permission from Mother Lin to enter.

After a few months, Mother Lin’s temperament has changed a lot, not to mention "growing old." Yunan thought for a long time before he thought of a proper adjective to describe Mother Lin’s current state-a bit less fireworks. gas.

Some details of Lin Mu in front of him were slightly overlapped with Lin Buxian before. Although she was in the merchant family, she was like a deep pond Qinghong in the mountains without waves for a long time.

Mother Lin looked at Yun'an lovingly, twisted her rosary, and said, "It's dark, thin, and energetic. When will you come back, where is Yixi?"

Seeing Mrs. Lin's appearance, Yun An suddenly wanted to cry. She felt that after she and Lin Buxian "flee", Mrs. Lin was wronged. This posture in front of us actually gave people a feeling of being with the ancient Buddha. It was obviously her old man’s birthday in a few days, but she wore so plainly, she changed into the old brocade dress, and put on a "sea green" style robe, navy blue (color).

Yun'an put down the long wooden box he was holding, and bowed his head with the hem of his clothes. After knocking his head, Yun'an put his forehead on Xuanruan's futon and said, "The child is not filial... The child is not filial, please forgive me."

"Good boy, get up quickly. Mother is very happy to be back. Don't stick to these red tapes."

"Thank you, mother." Yunan got up and changed to kneeling, and said in a low voice, "Mother, Yixi, she was secretly sent to Ningwang Mansion in Yongzhou by me, and she stayed in the courtyard of a lady in the backyard of His Highness King Ning. , Very safe. To the outside, I claimed that Yixi was sick and could not come back. This is a personal letter written by Yixi to you. You read it while listening to the child..."

Yun'an handed the letter to Lin Mu, and then he and Lin Mu reported the official affairs of her birth in Yongzhou (fafa) without any secret, including how she established a (guanguan) relationship with King Ning and how to use it at the Laochangting Racecourse. Xiaobo set up the affair of 450,000 taels of silver, as well as the affair that Yu Xianxian became the new favorite of Ning Wang, Mrs. Yu, and how the poppi rogue thinks they are bullied and ran to the inn to request a return. (Laughter), talked to Mrs. Lin with eloquence.

Madam Lin read the letter halfway and was completely attracted by Yun'an's narration. She pinched the letter written by her own daughter and listened to Yun'an's narration intently.

Hearing that Yun'an had caught up with King Ning, Mrs. Lin sighed with emotion, bluntly saying that Yun'an alone could surpass the power of the entire Lin clan in Longdong. The connection, the result is all the bamboo basket fetching water, but I heard that the forest in the four rooms is not? @ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hearing Ma Sanye cut her eyes, Madam Lin shook her head and sighed, twisting the rosary in her hand and chanting several Buddha chants. I heard that Yun'an took a different approach and had collected four hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, and praised Yun'an without hesitation.

Mrs. Lin furrowed her brows, her eyes (showing) concern when she heard those rascals coming to bully Yun'an.

While talking, Yun'an's heart was warm and her eyes were a little moist. Mrs. Lin was like a loving mother, listening to her child who had returned from a long journey telling her everything along the way. She was happy when the child met good things. She is proud of her child’s excellent performance. She is angry and distressed when the child is bullied.

"Mother~."

"What's wrong, An'er?"

"Mother, can you hug me?" Madam Lin was stunned, then (showing) a loving smile, spreading her arms and saying: "Of course."

Yun An was just lying on Madam Lin’s lap. She wanted to plunge her head into Madam Lin’s arms, but she was a "son-in-law" after all. It was so unreasonable. If she was too childish, mother. How can you rest assured?

Mrs. Lin smiled (touched Mo) (touched Mo) Yun'an's head, and stroked Yun'an's skinny back again, and said softly, "I'm thin, I need to be more tonic. That girl from Yuzhu is good at making soup. , You can hand over your meals to her."

"Thank you mother."

"Good boy, you have worked so hard for many things, and I have also wronged you. My mother knows what you have done for Yixi. My mother knows what you have done for Yixi..."

"Mother, I am willing, if I can... Actually, I want to wait for my wife and I to settle down and take you to live together. I don't want you to be wronged here."

Mrs. Lin was silent for a long while and replied: "What can I do wrong? I just live as I wish. I am willing to serve gods and Buddhas and pray for peace and prosperity for you. No one is forcing me to do this. What about the child... Yixi told me in the letter that you will burn this letter for your mother in a while, what is expected, I know his performance in the past few days, I know that he has won a son. No matter... I failed to give it. The Lin family has inherited incense, and I have been very guilty all these years. Now his "seeking benevolence and benevolence" can be regarded as a beautiful thing, and I will fulfill him. An'er, don't worry about your mother, I am the mistress of this Lin Mansion My position is not something that can be shaken by anyone, even the master...he wants to dote on his concubine, and I will leave him at this age, but if he wants to abolish me and help that cheap maid to come to power, he wants to open an ancestral hall. To sacrifice to the ancestor, invite all the elders to make a decision. Even if he gives up and loses his face, I may not be what he wants. As long as the mother sits in the position of the mistress of the house for one day, Yixi will always be a prostitute. I am always more noble than that child in terms of status. As for taking me out of the house, I still don’t have to...I hope to live with my daughter and son-in-law and enjoy the happiness of family, but there is no such precedent and rules, if it is passed on. It's not good for you."

Mrs. Lin's refusal was expected by Yun'an, but she still feels a little regretful. She turned around and said, "By the way, my mother and child have a gift for you!" Yun'an lifted his body. He took the long wooden box on the side, opened it, took out the crutch with the beast head inside, and presented it to Mother Lin with both hands.

"this is……?"

"Mother, this is the animal head crutches that the old lady Ning gave to his mother. It is said that the old lady used to use it before. With it...not to mention this Nanlin Mansion, even the prefect. What you want to do with your mother, you have to be weighed."

"This is too expensive, how can I?"

"Mother~ Take it, this is a gift from the old lady Ning Wang personally. The child has travelled thousands of miles to carry it back to you. Do you want the child to carry it back again? The mother raised Yixi by birth. Daughter, without a lady, I would not be where I am now. The days when His Royal Highness Ning uses Yixi and me are still to come, so what's wrong with giving a crutch a little bit of interest first."

Mrs. Lin stroked the crutches and engraved the words on the inside of the handle. Lin Duan looked at it carefully, and it turned out to be the word "household". It can be said that the direction (sexual xing) is very clear.

Madam Lin looked at Yun'an, her eyes were full of licking, but she returned the crutches to Yun'an and said, "You put it away first."

"Mother?"

"You should keep it for your mother first, and wait until the birthday banquet. You will be the last one to give this gift to the mother in public in front of all the guests."

"Baby understand!"

Mrs. Lin smiled, noncommittal.

"By the way, mother, does Xuan Yi grow up in our mansion?"

"The Daoist came back once a few days ago. After staying for a few days, he left. I took Rui'er with me. I don't know where I went."
