soap official family

Chapter 9

The Lin family in Dongcheng doesn't look like much either. It's just a medium-sized mansion with a big Lin family name on it.But there are already some mottled marks on the door.

Qingqing and He were riding in their own little donkey cart.When they arrived at the door, He asked the concierge to pull the car and took Qingqing into the house through the side door.

The porter seemed to be used to it, and he pulled the donkey cart towards the corner gate without even looking at them.

Qingqing looked at the concierge that she was accustomed to. She reached out and touched the large black lacquered door and frowned slightly.

After entering the gate, the mansion was very quiet. She had entered the Iron Mansion before, and there were a bunch of people at the door before she entered.When they arrive at the second gate, all the maids and women will come to greet them.Mrs. Tie would also be waiting in front of her courtyard, holding her hand and leading her inside.

Every time she went to Tie's house, she felt a great burden, but when she arrived at Lin's house, she really felt that it was too deserted.

Mrs. Qiao was in the west yard, and He didn't need anyone to lead her. She pulled Qingqing and walked in quickly.

Qingqing was still wearing the usual clothes she wore at home today, but for Qiao Dayong's sake, she still wore a newer one.But He helped her hair to be combed like an ordinary girl's, and she didn't let He wear any messy accessories. It was just how a girl of her class should look.

He thought about it, no matter how well-dressed she was, the old lady wouldn't look down on her, so she might as well be more comfortable.

The word "West Garden" is written casually on the moon gate of the west courtyard, but the red paint on the gate is as bright as new.

Qingqing's eyes stayed on the large flowers blooming in the courtyard, and the courtyard exuded a strong floral fragrance.

"Hurry up, let's leave after we finish talking. I agreed with my mother that we will learn to make cakes today." He said in a low voice while pulling her away quickly.

In the east chamber of the main hall of the west courtyard, Mrs. Qiao was drinking tea, and beside her was a maidservant in green clothes. This was the second servant Qingqing saw after entering Lin's mansion.

Mrs. Qiao frowned when she saw them coming in.

"It's really uneducated, and I didn't report it. How can there be such intrusions?" The old lady Qiao looked disgusted.

"Auntie! The Zhuangzi in the country brought in some jujubes and mountain products, and my father-in-law asked me to bring some for my aunt to taste." Mrs. He was also used to it, and she bowed to herself, then smiled and said that she only wanted to say something. thing.

"Is this Qingqing?" Mrs. Qiao didn't want to talk to He anymore, and looked directly at Qingqing next to He.He looked her up and down.

Qingqing raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Qiao. She lowered her head shyly and bowed her knees silently, but did not say a greeting.

Old Mrs. Qiao frowned and scolded, "Why are you so petty like your useless mother?"

"Old lady!" Mrs. He blushed angrily. Although she didn't know Qingqing's mother, she felt that it was too much to denigrate her mother in front of her daughter.

"Aren't there any rules taught at home? It seems that not only do you not know how to cook, you don't even have basic manners." Mrs. Qiao glanced at her and put down the cup in her hand coldly.

"Are you feeling unwell lately?" Qingqing raised her head and asked softly.

Mrs. Qiao was startled for a moment and looked around. The maid was startled and shook her head hurriedly.

"The flowers in the yard are too fragrant, which disturbs your sleep, and fried rice tea can't cure indigestion." Qingqing looked at Mrs. Qiao's slightly swollen face and obvious bags under her eyes, and said calmly.

"I don't even know what you are talking about! Did you bring her here specifically to show me? She looks pretty good, but her temper is too bad. I will send someone over to teach her the rules later! Otherwise, if you marry into someone else's family, it will be mine that will be lost. Face." Old Mrs. Qiao glanced at Qingqing stubbornly and coldly. "Oh, the old lady said, thank you for thinking about me. Qingqing is still young, and I want to stay with my family for another two years. If you feel uncomfortable, just have a good rest. My nephew-in-law will take Qingqing back to her parents' home, so I'll take my leave first." He said with a fake smile. Pulling Qingqing to exit.

"What?" The old lady slammed the table in front of him.

"I'm telling you, our little family hasn't taught it well yet, so we want to teach it again!" He smiled and took Qingqing's hand, getting ready to go out.

"Please have a good rest." Qingqing grabbed He, the two stood side by side, bowed to Mrs. Qiao again, and then left together.

"Go and ask someone to inform the eldest brother to come." Old Mrs. Qiao said to the maid beside her with a dark face.

The maid hurriedly nodded and ran out.

Mrs. Qiao sat motionless alone.

He and Qingqing did not go out through the gate just now, but walked through the corner gate, where their car was.

The car was tied to the corner gate, and no one was there to care about it. It was just tied up.But judging by the venue, this place has been packed with guests before.

"There are only a few people in the Lin family now? Doesn't it mean that there are juniors who are not talented?"

"Well, the old lady lives in the west front yard. There is a side building to the west of here, with another door open. His surname is also Lin. He is the distant nephew of the old lady's husband's family, a poor relative who is worse than us." He Shi untied the donkey cart, helped Qingqing get on the cart, and said casually.

"Is there no one left in the Lin family? Grandpa has been taking care of this place, right?" Qingqing sat down and did not put down the curtain of the donkey cart, but looked at He.

"Ah?!" He stared at her with a look of astonishment.

"The gate is dilapidated. If there are still people in the Lin family, even if they are out of town, it is impossible to give up such a little face; only her small courtyard still maintains a flourishing flowers, but they are all cheap and easy to grow. Because she has long been unable to It has moved, so just make sure that the place she sees is still the same. What about her descendants?"

"I really don't know! I only heard that her descendants are officials in other places." He shook his head and said honestly, but still patted her on the forehead, "So what? She is an old man who is poor. My biological sister, how can I really pretend to do nothing about it?"

"Yes!" Qingqing sat down.

"How did you think she couldn't move?" He sat in the car and drove to her parents' home, but she still looked incredulous.

"Her shoes have gotten bigger! Muscle atrophy should have started little by little. If her feet could have become significantly smaller, then her legs would have been useless for a long time; besides, she was sitting on a soft chair covered with fur. Come on, the soft chair can be used as a soft sedan by inserting bamboo poles into it." Qingqing smiled, in her opinion, these can no longer be considered reasoning.

"Ah?" He thought about it. Ever since she married into the Qiao family, she had never seen this person stand up before.However, as a niece and daughter-in-law, she came to pay her respects to the aunt, and it was impossible for the aunt to stand up to greet her. Besides, the aunt spoke harshly, and everyone avoided her. Who would have thought that this sitting still was not showing off , but cannot move at all?He looked back at Qingqing and said, "So the old man won't let you come, or is he afraid that you will overthink it?"

Over the years, the old man has not let Qingqing go to the old lady's birthday or other matters involving the Lin family. The reason is that Qingqing's health is not good and she is a girl, so it is better to go out less often.

At first, He thought that the old man didn't like his sister either.Thinking about it now, this was the first time Qingqing met this great-aunt after she got married, and she actually saw something she hadn't seen in all these years.

　I'm doing quite well at work now. I work in the morning, take a nap in the afternoon, and then lie down on the table to sleep for another hour. No one bothers me. Even if they ask me to get up, my brain is numb, so my life seems to be pretty good. .
