MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 201 :patient

With the door closed, they still quarrel and make trouble like a shrew, but the big family is more complicated than others, with more intrigue and more means.

Song Yao shook her head and said, "No, since... I came back from the Shi family's banquet last time, and I haven't embarrassed me again."

Liu Lin nodded, but what Song Yao said now, he is not completely new, Song Yao was brought up by a young lady, so she would not gossip about people behind her back, it seems that there is no such thing. It's a habit to blush and feel guilty before speaking. But you can guess, how could her sister-in-law give such a good face? If you don't drive her out anymore, it's probably because you see that someone has proposed a marriage to her, so you can get a large amount of dowry!

"Liu Lin," Song Yao didn't know what Liu Lin was thinking at all, and was still thinking about the topic just now: "I saw your sister."

Liu Lin smiled, and when he talked about Liu Xuer, he was in a very happy mood, nodded and said, "Xu'er came back and said, how is she? Isn't she very clever? My sister Very smart, always thinking better than us."

Song Yao nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "He is very smart, very beautiful... and very polite." She paused slightly and smiled: "You always say You are from the countryside, but you can't tell from your sister at all, it should be that she was still young when you were in the country, in short, she looked the same as the lady that day.

Liu Lin sneered and said: "You are really wrong, when our family moved out of the country, my sister was already quite young! But when she was in the country, she was very smart girl."

Song Yao opened her eyes when she heard it, pursed her lips and glanced at him, then pursed her lips and smiled again, not only Liu Xuer is smart, but Liu Lin can't see the country people. Honest and honest, with a... cunning spirit.

Of course I didn't say this, I just smiled and thought to myself. He led Liu Lin to the Shangfang Courtyard. Liu Lin also walked all the way to observe. The mansion was indeed a very large and luxurious mansion. The nine-curved corridors, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water gardens with flowers, reds and willows, all can see the luxury of the past.

It's just that in many places, you can see the scene of disrepair, the walls are crumbling, the dust is everywhere, and no one cares for a long time.

And the two went all the way from the courtyard gate to the courtyard, through the courtyard corridor, and walked for two minutes at least, but they didn't meet a single servant, and only saw where they were from a distance Suddenly an old man appeared, hunched over his waist, holding water. Liu Lin couldn't help asking: "You live in such a big house, and there are not many people. Are you not afraid this night?" Although it was a family house where I lived since I was a child, it was too big and there were too few people!

Song Yao nodded and smiled bitterly: "Who said not to be afraid? It's really scary at night, because there are not many people living there, not many courtyards with lights on, and most places are dark It's so lacquered... Anyway, as soon as it got dark, my nanny and I closed the gate of the courtyard and didn't come out..." Having said this, he smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, people outside don't know the situation of our mansion, and Fengxian County is also a bad place. It's a peaceful place, otherwise... but that's it, thieves have entered the house a few times, and they haven't stolen anything, and they wander around the unoccupied courtyard at night."

Liu Lin shook his head and said worriedly, "This is too restless! We have to find a way."

Song Yao said with a wry smile: "It's nothing... Anyway, there are two or three people around everyone, so nothing will happen."

Liu Lin frowned and shook his head inwardly.

The two said these words again, and then they walked to the entrance of the inner courtyard of the main courtyard. When they got here, they saw three or two maids and grandma, who came in and out with water and basin, and saw Song Yao came over without salute, and was still busy with each other.

This family lives in such a huge courtyard. If they don't move around for a few days, I'm afraid they will feel a little stranger, right? Liu Lin couldn't figure it out anyway. He had already reached this point. Why didn't he sell the house? I sold my house and I have some money in my hand. What can I do to support my family? What's the use of keeping empty houses and shelves?

He couldn't understand the thoughts of the big family no matter what, thinking that these had already arrived at the door of the house and no one reported it, Song Yao whispered from the door: "Father, mother, daughter... Bring Liu Lin here."

After a while, a woman's voice came from the room: "Come in."

Song Yao brought Liu Lin into the house, and as soon as she opened the curtain, a strong medicinal smell drifted into her nose, and there was also the smell of damp mildew that had not dissipated for a long time.

Song Yao was in the front, Liu Lin was in the back, and entered the back room. The back room was quite spacious and quite big. There was a sandalwood nine palace stepping bed against the wall, and there was a middle-aged man lying on the bed. Because I have been sick for a long time, it is not very accurate to look at the age. I always look like I am fifty or sixty years old. It is described as a wood-like, covered with a heavy quilt, only the head is exposed. , is also as thin as chicken feet, looking a little scary.

Liu Lin saw that Song Yao's father had become so seriously ill, and his heart was half cold. Only then did he understand why the Hanlin mansion could be tossed by two women... It seems , the Hanlin Mansion is really exhausted!

Sitting beside the bed was a woman in her 40s, with a high bun and long eyebrows, her face was not very good, Liu Lin vaguely remembered that the nurse seemed to have said that this Mrs. Song was also been sick for a long time. Looking at her face now, she is indeed too pale, wearing a rouge red tufted gold silk cloud brocade squirrel flip-up button-down jacket, and a rouge-dotted emerald-leaf leather jacket skirt, she looks brand new and bright. Dressed more gorgeously than Song Yao.

Guessing that this is Mrs. Song, Liu Lin made a hurried step forward and bowed deeply. According to the rules of the country people, if the betrothal gift is given to the letter of appointment, he is already his son-in-law, and he can be called his mother-in-law and his father-in-law, but the city people have another set of rules. Liu Lin was also a little confused about what to call him now and how to greet him. There were few people in the Hanlin Mansion, and no one gave him any advice, so he simply didn't give him a big gift and didn't address him.

The woman sat still, and only looked up and down Liu Lin with her eyes, because she saw that Liu Lin was also tall and tall, burly and handsome, and she was specially dressed today. , wearing an azurite-colored brocade cotton robe engraved with precious phase flowers, with a blue-gold double-ring Sihe Ruyi sash tied around his waist, and a Pisces jade pendant hanging from the silk sash. Mrs. Song's eyes stared at the jade pendant for a while, and her face changed from cold to hot.

When Liu Lin bowed down, he squinted at Song Yao with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, looked at her with contempt, and deliberately covered Liu Lin's body with contempt. Sweep up and down.

Song Yao just lowered her head and pretended not to see it, but her face became paler and bit her lower lip.

The moment Liu Lin straightened up, Mrs. Song's face had returned to normal, her voice was gentle and soft, and she couldn't hear anything wrong, and said softly: "It's good to come here. , We are also thinking about it these few days, you have seen the condition of the master, and if the marriage of the eldest girl can be settled, we can be relieved." After speaking, Liu Lin deliberately looked up and down, but this At one time, there was no contempt at all, I looked at it naturally, smiled and nodded and said, "I feel relieved when I see you, otherwise people from outside are always doing this, and I'm not relieved. Today It's in my heart to see it! I think it's in my heart to come to the master."

He turned around and shouted to the person on the bed very softly, "Master, Master? Open your eyes and see, this is the future son-in-law we told our eldest girl, what do you think? ?" Although she made the appearance of shouting, but the voice was not much louder than the mosquito's voice, Liu Lin really doubted that her voice could wake people up? Or is it clearly not wanting to wake up?

Taking a step forward, he took a serious look at the person on the bed, and also asked the master on the bed to take a good look at himself.

The master glanced at Liu Lin with his cloudy eyes, and said slowly, "Daughter...son-in-law?"

Song Yao also took a step forward and said with some surprise: "Father!"

Mrs. Song frowned slightly, her body moved, she seemed to stand up unintentionally, standing by the bed, she blocked most of her body from the patient on the bed, and the sight of the master was half blocked , Mrs. Song quickly smiled and said: "Yeah! It's the future son-in-law, he looks so energetic! He and the eldest girl are a match made in heaven! Master, don't you think? Oh! I know, you won't get up. Now, just ask the boss to give you a palm and an eye, you can lie down and rest!"

She bowed and bent in front of the bed, this time she completely blocked the patient, Liu Lin turned to look at Song Yao, Song Yao did not speak, just lowered her head.

Liu Lin felt Mrs. Song straight up and looked at her, Mrs. Song had already turned around and said to him with a smile: "Master is not in good health, and it is not convenient to see guests... That's it, it's already very good to see you, as for the rest, ask the eldest girl to lead you to meet the eldest young master, and you are talking in detail."

At this time, the patient started coughing, so Mrs. Song hurriedly called someone in to serve, and Liu Lin and Song Yao could only come out.

Liu Lin can also see it clearly, Mrs. Song promised her marriage for Song Yao, obviously hiding it from the master-Master Song did not know, the relative they told Song Yao was a businessman...

Obviously, if Master Song was awake, he would not agree to this matter. The marriage between Song Yao and the son of the chief envoy Si should have been decided by Master Song, from here It can also be seen that Song Master is willing to marry the family of the other party. And even if he was admitted as a scholar, in their eyes, he was not worth anything at all, he was still a businessman!

Mrs. Song was so sneaky.

Liu Lin thought of this, sighed involuntarily, turned to look at Song Yao, wondered if Song Yao also felt wronged by marrying her? She was able to bring it up at that time...it was really cornered.

However, Liu Lin wanted to ask her, but she couldn't say anything. Now she...isn't she still desperate, asking her repeatedly if she regretted it, I was afraid that Song Yao would think too much. I thought I regretted it.
