Loyang Jin

Chapter 16 Luan 2

The humiliating and painful past events came one after another, and huge waves surged in my heart.

Ling Jingshu glanced at Lu An from a distance, clenched her fists vigorously, and then lowered her eyelids. Trying to calm down the turbulent mood.

The enemy is close at hand, but she cannot act rashly. This feeling is really unpleasant.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to hold back and endure it.

To deal with Lu An and the Ling family means bringing down the entire Lu family. For her, who was just a boudoir girl, this was obviously just an extravagant wish. Before she has the ability to take revenge, she must first learn to endure...

After Lu An spoke up, Mrs. Ling and Uncle Ling, who had been crying together, finally calmed down a lot.

Old Mrs. Ling wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, squeezed out a smile and said: "Look at me, at this age, I don't have any self-control at all. I cry and wipe my tears at the gate, which makes my uncle laugh. ”

Lu An smiled slowly, with a very impeccable demeanor: "My mother-in-law and my uncle are separated from each other. At this time, I was so excited that my eyes filled with tears, and I couldn't help myself. My son-in-law was so moved when he saw it, how could he smile."

Old Mrs. Ling was full of complaints about her son-in-law because of what Ling said before. Now that they actually met him, the bad feeling in her heart was gone.

Such a handsome and dignified man is also the head of the Lu family and serves as a parent. On the ground in Jizhou, he is not much different from the Tu Emperor. With such a successful career, it is inevitable to indulge in female sex.

Everyone gathered around Mrs. Ling and returned to the Yonghe Hall. They sat down and talked.

The younger generations stood beside or behind their parents. Old Mrs. Ling is sitting at the top. Sitting on her right is Uncle Ling, and on her left is Lu An.

Mrs. Ling first asked with concern whether Lu An's trip was difficult, and then it was Uncle Ling's turn.

On such an occasion, the daughters-in-law of the Yue family and the Li family were not qualified to intervene, let alone the juniors.

After chatting for half an hour, Mrs. Ling's excitement finally calmed down. He smiled and said to Lu An: "My uncle has not visited me for so many years. We only exchange letters. You don't know the children and grandchildren of our Ling family yet. I will ask them to come to you one by one."

When my uncle comes to visit, he is a first-class guest. What's more, this uncle is from a prominent family in Zhou Dynasty. There are at least a dozen of Lu's clan members serving as officials in various parts of the Zhou Dynasty. Lu An's second brother, Lu Ping, is the head of the Ministry of War in the capital. Although his official position is not high, he is good at maneuvering and somehow managed to get to the throne of King Yan. way. Nowadays, it is quite popular in Beijing.

Because of these factors, Mrs. Ling was more warm and polite to Lu An.

First it was the juniors from Ling's family room, then the second and fourth bedrooms, and finally it was the turn of the four brothers and sisters from the fifth bedroom.

"My nephew Ling Ting (Ling Xiao) (Ling Hu) has met my uncle."

"My niece Ling Jingshu has met my uncle."

Among three boys and girls of different heights, Ling Jingshu, dressed in a light green dress with picturesque features, stood tall and graceful. The eyebrows are lowered and the face is narrowed, but it cannot hide the stunning face.

Lu An's eyes paused for a moment on Ling Jingshu, and a flash of surprise and heat quickly flashed in his eyes.

He concealed this emotion very well and returned to normal in an instant. He smiled gently and kindly and said, "We are all family members, so there is no need to be polite."

Lu Qian had been standing beside Lu An, paying close attention to Lu An's every move and expression. When he saw the strange flash in Lu An's eyes, his whole body froze. His hands trembled uncontrollably.

It wasn't until Ling Jingshu bowed and left, and Lu An no longer looked at Ling Jingshu, that Lu Qian slowly let out the tightness in his chest.

...

The sky quickly darkened.

There are four tables in the dining room of Yonghe Hall. There are two seats for men and women, and they are divided between elders and juniors. We are all a family, and there is no need to worry about the difference between men and women. We simply abandon the screen.

Children and grandchildren gather around the knees happily. This is the first time for such a reunion since my daughter got married.

Mrs. Ling was in high spirits and drank several glasses of wine. Sons and daughters-in-law come to toast, and most of them touch their lips. When the son-in-law and daughter came to toast, Mrs. Ling drank them all.

With some drunkenness, Mrs. Ling said with ulterior motives: "I only have a daughter like Ah Hui. She has been arrogant and spoiled since she was a child, and possessive. Even if I treat her brothers better, she will be sour and jealous." "I must have done something wrong when I married into the Lu family these years, so please be considerate."

Lu An is so shrewd, how could he not hear the pun from Mrs. Ling? His smile was a little uncomfortable, and he coughed and replied: "Mother-in-law is worrying too much. Ah Hui has a dignified temperament and knows the general situation, and keeps the inner house in a tight and orderly manner." . It is my son-in-law’s good fortune to have Ah Hui as my wife.”

As he said that, he looked at Ling Madam affectionately.

Mrs. Ling felt happy and worried at the same time.

What made Lu An happy was that it had been a long time since Lu An had been so affectionate towards her, but what made him anxious was that Old Mrs. Ling spoke like this. When Lu An heard it, he knew it was her who said something in front of Old Mrs. Ling, and he must be unhappy in his heart. At this time, his face was full of smiles. After leaving the table and returning to the room, I wonder what he would look like...

Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "As long as your good son-in-law doesn't mind my nagging." After a pause, she said, "Ah Hui has not been back to her parents' home for so many years since she was married. When I come back this time, I want to keep her here for a longer time." ”

Lu An smiled and said: "This is a matter of course."

After chatting for a while, Lu An returned to his seat.

...

Ling Jingshu sat at a table with her cousins ​​​​and sisters-in-law.

The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with the two words of loyalty and filial piety. In the past twenty years, there had been no war in the border areas, and the emphasis was increasingly on civil affairs over military affairs. The most noble thing is to take the imperial examination and enter the official career. This trend has long been formed in famous families, and reading has become a top priority.

This trend has also affected women. Any wealthy family would ask their wives to teach their daughters how to read and write. Not to mention a wealthy family like the Ling family.

It's not unusual for each one of them to speak in detail.

This kind of occasion was always the time when Ling Jingshu stole the show. However, she was not in the mood today. She took a few bites and put down her chopsticks, and she remained silent after that.

Ling Jingxian was secretly surprised, but she wished Ling Jingshu would remain silent so as not to steal her limelight.

Ling Jingxian chatted enthusiastically with Ling Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, we were born only one month apart. It's a pity that you have lived with your uncle and aunt in the capital these years, and I haven't had the chance to get close to you. When you come back this time, We finally have a chance to get close.”

Ling Jingyan is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, ranking seventh. Because he has lived in the capital for a long time, he is quite arrogant and self-sufficient. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said: "My father took a long vacation and plans to live in Dingzhou for two months before returning to the capital. There will indeed be many opportunities to get close to each other in the future."

When it comes to Dingzhou, one cannot help but reveal a bit of arrogance about being superior to others.

Ling Jingxian hit a soft nail and felt a little unhappy.

Huh, what's so great about it. Isn't it because your uncle is an official in the capital that you have the opportunity to live in the capital? Otherwise, you should live in the Ling family's old house in Dingzhou.

Ling Jingyan is bright and attractive, and her clothes are exquisite and elegant. At first glance, she looks like a popular style in the capital. They were compared with each other almost immediately.

Ling Jingxian was unwilling to give up, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Why hasn't my cousin Shu spoken a word today?"

Then he pretended to be enthusiastic and said to Ling Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, you rarely come back. There are some things you don't know. Cousin Shu is well-read in poetry and books, has outstanding academic skills, and is good at growing famous peonies. She is very famous in our city of Dingzhou." Famous. Someone gave cousin Shu the title of the most beautiful woman in Dingzhou!"

Both are the direct daughters of the Ling family, and Ling Jingshu is famous in Dingzhou. Ling Jingyan was unknown in Dingzhou. With Ling Jingyan's arrogant heart, she would definitely feel unconvinced after hearing these words.

Sure enough, after hearing such an ulterior motive, Ling Jingyan suddenly became upset. Looking at Ling Jingshu's beautiful face, she said with a half-smile, "Oh? I didn't expect that my cousin Shu is also good at planting peonies."

This word "ye" has a faint smell of gunpowder that distinguishes one from another.

Ling Jingshu finally raised her head and glanced at Ling Jingyan.

Speaking of which, Ling Jingyan is also a tragic figure.

In her previous life, Ling Jingyan met King Yan by chance and secretly fell in love with him. With the Ling family's background, she was not qualified to marry King Yan as the main concubine, but she was barely qualified to be the side concubine. But Uncle Ling insisted on orthodoxy and supported the prince's faction. Naturally, he would not let his daughter marry King Yan as a concubine. He rushed to arrange another marriage for Ling Jingyan.

Ling Jingyan was reluctant, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had to obey her father's orders.

Later, the prince's party was defeated, the prince was deposed, and King Yan was established as the crown prince. **Yu was liquidated, and Uncle Ling was the first to be punished and was sentenced to prison for corruption. The Ling family tried their best and spent most of their wealth to save Uncle Ling's life.

Ling Jingyan's planned marriage also came to naught because of this jail sentence.

Later, Ling Jingyan returned to Dingzhou with her parents. Because he was getting older and his family's situation was bleak, he couldn't find a good marriage partner. A matchmaker came to propose marriage. The woman was over thirty years old and had a lot of concubines at home, as well as legitimate children and concubines.

After Ling Jingyan got married, her life was not going well. Later, she encountered dystocia when she gave birth to a child, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Thinking of this, Ling Jingshu felt a little sad and was not in the mood to compete with Ling Jingyan. He said calmly: "I have nothing to do, and occasionally pass the time in the garden. Outsiders don't know the inside story, so they just spread rumors."
