Rebirth of the Lin family's wife

Chapter 35

Hui Yimei followed the crowd to the long room.

Mrs. Lin personally took Hui Yimei's hand, sent her into the new house, and said kindly, "Yimei, from now on, this will be your home... But, the time is too fast, and I made preparations in a hurry If there is anything inconsiderate, you have to tell me..."

Hui Yi smiled and nodded.

"Then you two should rest earlier, you've been tired all day today." Mrs. Lin said pointedly.

Huiyi smiled and remained silent.

After seeing off Mrs. Lin, Zhang's mother immediately greeted her with a pot of boiling water, "Miss, are you tired? I asked the chef to cook a pot of white porridge for you, with some refreshing side dishes, okay?"

Hui Yi frowned and said, "I had a few glasses of wine today, and my heart is burning. Go find some pears, peel them and cut them into pieces for me to moisten..."

Mother Zhang responded, and handed the kettle to Xiaohong, ready to go to the kitchen to look for pears.

Hui Yimei stopped her again.

"Hey, Mama Zhang, don't go to the kitchen now," Hui Yimei ordered, "You take Xiaohong to the old lady first...Xiaohong, go kowtow to the old lady for me...just say please Don't worry about me, old lady, there are a lot of things at home today, so I won't make trouble, and I will go to pay my respects to old lady in the morning."

Xiaohong responded, put down the kettle, and went out with Zhang's mother.

Only Hui Yimei and Lin Yuexian were left in the room.

Hui Yimei had already stretched out her hand, and started to take off the heavy wedding dress on her body...

But as soon as the room became quiet, Lin Yuexian's masculine aura mixed with a faint smell of alcohol rushed towards her head and face.

Huiyi's eyebrows froze.

She re-fastened the one button that had been undone.

Lin Yuexian also stood in the room in a daze for a while.

He walked to the corner, picked up the pot of boiling water that Xiaohong had placed in the corner, walked to the basin stand in the side room, poured water into the basin and said, "Wash your face first!"

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows without answering.

Looking around, she saw a rosewood dresser and mirror in the inner room, and walked over to it.

But she was a little uneasy.

——After all, he is a person who wants to live together on the surface, so it is really okay to ignore him?
So she asked, "Is there... no servant in your house?"

Lin Yuexian was astonished.

After a long time, he finally replied, "So there was a nanny. After I was ten years old... she went back to the countryside. Now, Mother Dai who is beside my mother comes to help me clean up the house every day..."

Hui Yi blushed.

She also realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"Uh, you, you can wash it yourself, Xiaohong will come back later, I will..."

Lin Yuexian gave an "um" and stopped talking.

There was the sound of splashing water in the ear room, not too slow or too fast.

Hui Yimei sat in front of the vanity mirror and began to carefully remove the fringed phoenix crown on her head.

It just looks good, but it’s actually heavy, and there are too many hollow hinges, so it’s easy to catch her hair... The pain made Huiyi’s eyebrows gritted and her teeth cracked, and it took a long time to pick off the phoenix crown. down.

She rubbed her sore scalp and sighed.

The footsteps and voices of Zhang's mother and Xiaohong sounded in the yard.

After a while, the two walked in one after the other.

Lin Yuexian had already taken off his suit, and was standing at the door of the anteroom wearing a white shirt. He was still wiping his face with a wet towel in his hand.

Mother Zhang and Xiaohong hurriedly bowed towards Lin Yuexian, and said in unison,

"Second Master!"

"Second Master."

He nodded to Zhang's mother and Xiaohong.

Xiaohong was a little shy, she pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head and hurried into the inner room.

Zhang's mother held a lacquered round wooden tray in her hand, and she pointed the wooden tray towards Lin Yuexian's position.

Lin Yuexian took a look.

On the top of the round tray is a folded white cloth.

"Second Lord, Xiaohong and I went to kowtow to the old lady just now, and the old lady asked us to bring this... At the second watch tonight, Mother Fang who is next to the old lady will come to ask for this yuan handkerchief." After finishing speaking, Ms. Zhang went in beaming with a tray.

Lin Yuexian's expression was dull.

He and Yimei... didn't they hold a new type of wedding?Why do you still come to... Yan Yuanpa's tricks?
Lin Yuexian couldn't help but secretly raised his eyes and glanced into the inner room.

The long-haired beauty sitting in front of the makeup mirror was smiling and talking to the maid, with a warm smile on her face, making the room full of spring.

"...Look at how promising you are! Well, go and find my pajamas, as well as my soap, shampoo, and magnolia petals. I'm going to wash my hair later..."

He stood at the door of the side room, but she was in the inner room.

Her melodious and soft voice floated out from the inner room, which seemed so empty.

Lin Yuexian couldn't help but looked around...

Is this still his big, empty and cold room?
Yes, this is his house!
Lin Yuexian laughed dumbly.

Is it because of her that for the first time he actually felt that his own house could be warm and cozy?
"Miss! You just washed your hair this morning, why did you wash it again at night?" Xiaohong asked puzzled.

Hui Yimei pouted while picking off the bracelet on her wrist, "Didn't you see...they put at least half a catty of oil on my head! If it's midnight, the rats will give your lady Drag it away, let's see how you cry tomorrow!"

Lin Yuexian suppressed a smile.

Her voice is delicate and soft...

Mama Zhang had already spread the snow-white Yuan handkerchief on the big bed, and then went out to pass the water.

Lin Yuexian consciously avoided the small study next door.

Hui Yimei washed her hair comfortably, took a shower, and put on a brand new apricot yellow pajamas; she asked Xiaohong to rub her hair half dry, and put on an apricot yellow cloth headband In order to prevent the bangs from disturbing the face, and then covered her head with a bright red beanie over her pajamas, she asked Mama Zhang to bring some porridge and side dishes, spread them on the small round table, and asked Xiao Hong to invite Lin Yuexian to come over for dinner.

Lin Yuexian also changed into a [-]% new blue cloth gown.

Seeing her, he said, "...I just ate a pear."

Earlier, sister Huiyi thought he smelled of alcohol, so she ordered Mama Zhang to send a plate of pears to the small study to sober him up.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "I know, it's almost eight o'clock now, let's have some porridge, if you don't want to eat, eat less, just to warm your stomach."

In fact, she has no appetite.

Firstly, I was really tired today; secondly, the meal I had at Huijia Restaurant at noon...was too greasy!She can't eat it now, but if she doesn't eat it now, she will have to stay up until tomorrow morning!
Lin Yuexian didn't speak, and sat opposite her.

Mother Zhang and Xiaohong retreated.

The two looked at each other silently, a little embarrassed.

For some reason, Lin Yuexian's eyes kept drifting towards the bed.

The position where he was sitting was facing the direction of the big bed; and on the bed sheet covered with red bedding, there was a snow-white veil...

Hui Yimei didn't notice that he was deserting.

She also felt a little embarrassed.

But after thinking about it, such days will last at least for a long time!Could it be that every day from now on, she and him...will be so silent about each other?

She had already observed the room.

His house is filled with furniture brought over from her natal family as a dowry.

The rosewood eight-step bed, the eight-treasure pavilion, the four-page screen, the chest of drawers, the dressing table, the imperial concubine's couch and the small dining table... She looked around and didn't think about where Lin Yuexian should sleep at night.

The chaise longue is actually a good choice.

But Huiyi looked at Lin Yuexian's figure coldly...

He's too tall for the fit.

So, he sleeps on the bed and she sleeps on the concubine's couch?

Hui Yimei is not happy...

After thinking and thinking, Hui Yimei asked, "Where do you sleep at night?"

Lin Yuexian was startled.

His eyes drifted to the big bed again...

Hui Yimei naturally noticed it too.

Her pretty face flushed.

The yard of the Shu Chang's house was not big.

Master Lin and Mrs. Lin lived in the main room, the west wing...Hui Yimei guessed that Lin Yuelan lived; while she and Lin Yuexian lived in the east wing.

In the east wing, apart from the main room, there is a slightly larger bedroom, plus a small study room for him, and a small room specially packed out for her to "do needlework".

Although the two lived together as a partner, once they moved in, they occupied the dove's nest...

Isn't that bad?
After thinking and thinking, Hui Yi blushed, and said in a voice not much louder than the noise of mosquitoes, "...Then, let's each have a quilt at night."

Lin Yuexian was also a little embarrassed.

He lowered his head, quickly picked up the porridge in the bowl with his chopsticks, and drank it slowly.

The two never spoke again.

After dinner, Zhang's mother and Xiaohong came in to clean up the dishes, then went out lightly, and specially closed the door for them.

Hui Yimei stood by the wardrobe for a long time, until the time of the clock slipped to 09:30, she moved to the side of the big bed, ready to go to bed and rest.

But she was taken aback by the white cloth spread on the red bed sheet!
It's not that she didn't see this veil, but she never paid attention to it and thought it was a decoration.

But take a closer look...

This veil is snow-white and rectangular, and it is placed horizontally in the middle of the big bed!

——What is this veil used for? Do you even need to ask?

Lin Yuexian was holding a book, and had been sitting at the table pretending to read it.

Until she walked to the big bed...

As soon as he was nervous, he stood up with a "crack".

Hui Yimei's face flushed red.

She turned her head involuntarily and glanced at Lin Yuexian.

He also blushed a little, standing by the table with a book in his hand, looking at a loss.

The two stood in a daze, you looked at me, I looked at you, the awkward and ambiguous factor was churning in the spacious room.

After a long time, Mei Hui finally mustered up her courage.

She gritted her teeth, raised her orchid fingers... picked up the white cloth with a very disgusted gesture, and then threw it on the ground with a "snap".

Then, as if fleeing, she kicked the embroidered slippers under her feet, and fled to the bed with three or two kicks!

Lin Yuexian was startled.

She had wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

Lin Yuexian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

He walked slowly to the side of the bed, helped her pick up the embroidered slippers, with the opening facing inward, and placed them neatly on the footrest; then he picked up the white cloth she had thrown by the side of the bed.

Hui Yimei poked her head out of the quilt secretly, and seeing the white cloth he was looking at under the lamp, she couldn't help but blushed, and then retracted her head under the quilt with a "crush".

Lin Yuexian glanced back at her, then turned to continue studying the white cloth.

Hui Yimei, who was hiding under the quilt, heard his footsteps.

He appears to have come to the table.

Then, she suddenly heard a "clank" sound, like the sound made by something like scissors being placed on a wooden table; then, he seemed to gasp...

He took the white cloth and walked back to the big bed.

Hui Yi's eyebrows were suddenly a little nervous.

Lin Yuexian took off his coat slowly, revealing his muscular upper body.

He sat leaning against the head of the bed.

Hui Yimei didn't know what he wanted to do, why he kept silent.

But he really didn't speak all the time.

until……

There were faint footsteps in the yard.

Lin Yuexian suddenly said softly, "...Cry, cry out!"

Hui Yi froze for a moment.

He has come close...

Hui Yimei was taken aback by his suddenly enlarged face!
She couldn't help but let out a low "ah"...

At the same time, she subconsciously stretched out her hands to press his chest that was approaching suddenly.

But Lin Yuexian quickly grabbed her wrists, and squeezed her slender wrists hard!
Huiyi's brows were caught off guard, her wrist was in severe pain, and she was frightened by his naked and strong body, she couldn't help but let out a soft "ah"...

There was a sound of footsteps in the yard.

However, Hui Yimei has already reacted.

She began to "sob" softly.

——Indistinct, and aggrieved.

Someone knocked lightly on the door.

Lin Yuexian stood up with his upper body bare, took the handkerchief and walked towards the door.

Hui Yimei was "crying in a low voice" while listening to the movement with her ears up.

It seems that a woman's voice said vaguely, "...Congratulations to the second master and the second grandma...I'll go back to the old lady...Li Cheng...call for water...let the maids come and serve..."

After all, the door was a little far away from the inner room, so the sound was a little floating.

But Hui Yimei still vaguely heard what Lin Yuexian seemed to be saying, "...pass the water to the ear chamber...don't need a girl...I'll take care of the second grandma...please...please be good tomorrow..."

After a while, there was finally the sound of the door closing, followed by the sound of the bolt falling.

Hui Yi felt relieved...

It seems that this hurdle has been passed.

Lin Yuexian walked into the inner room.

Hui Yimei was still pretending to cry in a low voice.

Hearing his footsteps, Hui Yimei hesitated for a while, but couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and continued to "choke" twice before stopping "crying".

Lin Yuexian also hesitated for a while, and finally chose to sit on a chair away from the big bed.

The two of them were so stupid, one was lying on the bed, the other was sitting on the chair... and were silent at the same time.

Not long after, Hui Yimei heard some movement in the yard again.

Probably Zhang's mother and Xiaohong came to deliver bath water.

In the courtyard of the old family, there is a side room in the bedroom. The side room is actually a place for washing and going to the toilet.This small side room has two doors, one door is connected to the bedroom, and there are bolts on both sides, it is for the masters; the other door is for the servants, and it is for the master They deliver and pour the bathwater, or take the toilet out to clean.

Sure enough, after a while, the time for pouring hot water came from the ear room; followed by two soft knocks on the door, it should be Mama Zhang reminding them that the hot water has been put away.

After a while, there was a faint sound of closing the door in the ear room, presumably Zhang's mother and Xiaohong had retreated.

Lin Yuexian guessed that Hui Yimei would not take a bath.

However, if there is no trace of water splashing in the penthouse... it is necessary and suspicious.

He stood up and walked towards the ear room.

Hui Yimei was tossed and broken this day.

She got up early in the morning, after four o'clock, and she was so sleepy at the moment, the sound of splashing water coming from the ear room was like a perfect lullaby, and she fell asleep in a daze up.

"Squeak"...

The door of the side room was suddenly pushed open.

Hui Yi's eyebrows were jolted awake and woke up.

In a trance, she didn't know where she was, subconsciously propped up her upper body, raised her head and looked at Lin Yuexian who was standing at the door of the ear room in astonishment.

Standing at the door of the side room with his upper body naked and only a pair of half-short pants, Lin Yuexian was a little at a loss.

After all, he and she were still strangers.

She stared at him with wide eyes like this...

But he was only wearing a pair of underpants!
Lin Yuexian was a little embarrassed.

He walked quickly to the closet, took a set of pajamas, and put them on in two or three strokes.

Then, he turned off the light, walked to the bed in the dark, got on the bed again, and covered the quilt that Hui Yimei left for him...

Hui Yi's eyebrows were stiff.

After a long time, Lin Yuexian said softly, "Go to sleep, I have to go to say hello tomorrow morning."

Hui Yimei also knew that there was still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.

She and Bai Yingying are both new daughters-in-law. Today they get married on the same day, and tomorrow they will present to the elders at the same time to receive tea and tea... But tonight, Bai Yingying has already suffered a loss in the wedding dress, and she must be thinking about getting back to the place tomorrow. !
But she had been squinting for a while just now, and now her mind is clear, but she can't fall asleep.

This is the eight-step bed that her natal family built for Hui Yimei, it is very spacious.

Lin Yuexian slept on the outside of the other end wrapped in a quilt, and she slept on the inside of this end, still feeling that there was more than enough space.

Late at night.

Everything is quiet.

The quieter it is, the more subtle sounds will appear.

For example...

His and her breathing.

Hui Yi's brows were determined, Lin Yuexian was not asleep.

Because his breathing sound was messy.

After thinking about it, she still treated Lin Yuexian very well today,
She didn't say anything, but he still dealt with it one by one.

Such a sensible and caring man, even if there is no love between him and her in the future, the two of them should be able to live together.

Then, if I want to go abroad, I have to rely on him.

As long as you go abroad...

Thinking of this, Hui Yi's eyebrows suddenly froze.

Yes!

What about after leaving the country?

She bit her lower lip.

That's right, that's what she had in mind.

——As long as she goes abroad and waits until she graduates from university, if she wants to get a divorce, isn't it a matter of minutes?If her mother and elder brothers objected too much... either she could simply seek help from the church and stay in England; or... if she still couldn't adapt to life in England, she could go back to China quietly.

She is a graduate of the prestigious Hoover University in England. After returning to China, she should have no problem teaching in a domestic middle school or girls' high school...

But if the bridge is to be demolished when crossing the river, isn't that unfair to Lin Yuexian?
Hui Yi turned her eyebrows over, a little irritable.

Didn't he have a confidante in his previous life?Was it just late, so his confidante hadn't shown up yet?Then... just wait for his confidante to appear, and she will "abdicate to the virtuous" again!

"It's almost twelve o'clock," Lin Yuexian said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Hui Yi's eyebrows froze.

After a moment of silence, she plucked up her courage and said, "Lin Ziqian, I, I want to go abroad."

There was silence at the other end of the big bed.

It was a while before she heard his voice.

"Actually... you haven't been bedridden to recuperate all these years, have you?" He asked in a low voice, "You... actually you have been abroad all the time? Father Tom recommended you to go abroad?"

Thinking of this, Hui Yimei couldn't help but feel complacent.

In the darkness, the corners of her mouth curled up silently, "Well, but they all thought I was a woman from the old family, a woman with small feet..."

She could predict that Bai Yingying would definitely use her "little feet" as an issue when serving tea to her daughter-in-law tomorrow!
In this life, she met Bai Yingying twice in total, the last time was in the coffee shop, and this time she confronted each other in her wedding dress tonight.

Hui Yimei remembered that the last time she and Bai Yingying met in a coffee shop in the county town, she used to mislead Bai Yingying and Lin Yuexue by walking like a woman with small feet.

If Bai Yingying is vigilant, she should be able to tell that her walking posture is normal today; but if she is overwhelmed by jealousy and forgets about this, then tomorrow...it is still very difficult to know who will make a fool of herself. Hard to say.

"Where are you? England? Over there...studying?" Lin Yuexian's voice brought her back from her thoughts.

According to Lin Yuexian's guess, Father Tom is from England, and his connections are probably also in England; the relationship between Hui Yimei and Father Tom is very close, and even if Father Tom wants to help her, he has to rely on the power of the church.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows with a "huh".

Lin Yuexian asked again, "Did you really go to university there? What did you study?"

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Literature and history."

"Literature, history..." Lin Yuexian murmured.

He fell silent suddenly.

Hui Yimei is not very familiar with him, but from the few times she has interacted with him, she can probably feel some of this man's temperament.

For example, his current silence does not necessarily mean his resistance; it means that he is thinking about the feasibility of this matter, or that he is considering this matter for himself and his family... ... Is there any benefit, and is it worth doing.

And as long as he is determined to do something...

He will make it!
So Hui Yimei decided to persuade him.

"Go abroad with me," she said softly. "It's a new era, don't you want to go out and see the world? When I was in the church, I saw you learn English from Father Tom. It can be seen...you are also a A motivated person. Don’t you have a dream, something you have always wanted to do but have never had the courage to do it? Then why don’t you have the courage to pursue your dream?”

"Have you ever thought about your father? He has been sacrificing and dedicating himself in order to gain the approval of his family and his aunt? His dream all his life is to change the word 'babe' into the word 'son'? So he has been obsessed all his life , never disobeyed my grandmother, from a young boy to a full head of gray hair? But haven't you noticed? Someone who doesn't care about you, she will never care about you..."

Lin Yuexian was silent for a long time.

The son does not say anything about the father.

But looking at it from another angle, if Mr. Lin was a man with a sense of responsibility, Lin Yuexian wouldn't have to work so hard.

Parents should support their children.

However, in the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Yuexian was the one who worked hard to support his parents and sister!

If Hui Yimei hadn't experienced her previous life, she wouldn't dare to position Mr. Lin so accurately; but now, she doesn't care much...Now only by persuading Lin Yuexian to go to England with her can she save time and effort Win this battle!
"Now it's your turn... But do you think that grandma will hand over the Lin family to you? Since you know that you have been doing useless work, why bother to make wedding clothes for others! No matter how big the Lin family's property is, it will have half as much money with you in the future." A copper coin relationship? You are not independent and strong enough. In the future, your parents, and your sister... After all, they are not attached to your strength, but to the strength of the Lin family! But you What's the point of leaving the Lin family?" She persuaded earnestly.

Lin Yuexian suddenly took a long breath.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows again, "Think about it carefully, even a 'little-footed woman' like me has the courage to pursue freedom, you are an indomitable man, are you not as good as me?"

That night, she said a lot.

But he never said a word.

At some point, Hui Yimei finally fell into a deep sleep...

But Lin Yuexian stayed up all night.
