Become the favorite of the sickly lady

"Why is Qian'er still in a daze?

Hurry up, it's not easy for the old man to come here once, so don't make the old man wait too long. "

Lin Qian raised her head slowly, and saw Fang Fei still smiling slightly, her eyes full of familiar warmth.

Miss~

Her lady doesn't know anything.

Yes, know nothing!

Then she should...

With her heart sinking to the extreme, Lin Qian silently clenched her fists hard and then slowly loosened them, trying her best to smile:

"Okay, miss.

It's been so long since my father came to see me, Qian'er was so happy that she didn't realize it.

Qian'er went to see his father first, and then came to wait on the young lady. "

"Qian'er, you don't need to come here in a hurry, the opportunity is rare, stay with father for a while."

"Thank you ma'am."

Responding to the voice with a smile, Lin Qian said goodbye to Fang Fei with a perfect expression of surprise and joy, and turned around. Even though she restrained herself, she still involuntarily sped up her walking pace.

***

Except for the first time when Fang Fei told Lin Qian to go see her family, Lin Qian showed a little shocked expression, and after that, when Lin's father came, she was always not in a hurry, even when her father left, she didn't seem too sad.

But today, not only did she hear Father Lin's happy smile when she came, but even when she left to see Father Lin, Lin Qian's pace was obviously much quicker.

Is it because I have seen my father for so long that I miss him too much?

Fang Fei still had a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but recall Lin Qian's shock and bewilderment when she first heard Father Lin coming.

"Miss, it's strange that Lin Qian's father came here today."

The figure belonging to Lin Qian disappeared very quickly, Xing'er bit her lip lightly, but still couldn't hold back her head and whispered to Fang Fei.

"Why is it strange?"

Fang Fei's heart skipped a beat, she didn't show anything on her face, but her tone of voice showed a slight sense of urgency.

"It's just... Sister Lin Qian's father always seems a little embarrassed when he comes over on weekdays, as if our Fang family is out of tune with him.

But today, there is a kind of... a sense of firmness like a broken ax sinking a boat.

That is, the person is still the same person, but the feeling is completely different.

Xing'er always felt that Sister Lin Qian's father came to be a guest this time, not just to see her. "

"The old man and Qian'er only meet once a year or two, so it's normal for her expression to change.

Qian'er is his daughter, what else could it be if it's a rare visit?

Xing'er, don't think about it, I'm a little tired, let's go back to the house first, let Qian'er stay with my father for a while. "

"Okay, miss."

Xing'er is not a serious person, Fang Fei dispelled her doubts with a few simple sentences, but after about two breaths and the book in her hand couldn't be seen, Fang Fei let out a soft breath and rejected Xing'er. Accompanied by his son's suggestion, he walked out of the room and walked towards the side hall.

Qian'er is her personal maid, and she has done her best to take care of her these years, and it is rare for the elders to come, so she should go and say hello as a courtesy.

But even with that in mind, Fang Fei's footsteps became lighter the closer she got to the side hall.

That appearance is not at all acting as Fang Fei thought, on the contrary, it seems to be secretly doing dishonorable things - eavesdropping~

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open a little too urgently, so that there was a slightly harsh sound.

He was clearly in his early thirties, but after years of hard work, Father Lin, who looked like he was in his early forties, was wearing a brand-new coat. He was sitting on a chair drinking tea, but at this moment Huo De stood up and looked at the door with burning eyes. look sideways.

The bright and bright sunlight rushed in through the wide-open door, bringing out a faint fragrance of flowers. Lin Qian, who was wearing a simple knot and dressed in lake green clothes, was standing at the door, perhaps she came in a hurry. , breathing a little fast, so that a blush faintly appeared on her fair face, but even if she just stood like this, Lin Qian, who will be eighteen after the new year, is slim and graceful, with her own temperament, people can't help but look at her.

Although she sold it since she was a child and worked as a maid in Fang's mansion, but because she is Fang Fei's personal maid, she has good food and clothing, and she can learn a lot from what she can see. Lin Qian was completely different from Father Lin's other three sons and daughters who were facing the loess and their backs were facing the sky.

Obviously they are all my children, but they always feel very far away and strange.

"Father, why did you suddenly come to see Qian'er today?"

A clear, crisp, smiling voice rang out, and Father Lin just now recovered from the astonishment and strange feeling.

"Thinking about the end of a long time, I came to see you.

You don't have to be in such a hurry when you come, it doesn't matter if your father waits a little longer. "

Thinking about the purpose of coming today, Father Lin unconsciously wiped his jacket with his hands, and tried his best to force a smile to speak.

"It's rare for my father to come here, since Qian'er knew about it, why would he have the nerve to make my father wait longer.

Sit down, father, it's already past noon, Qian'er is going to bring you some snacks? "

"No, these are enough."

"Then Qian'er will pour you another cup of tea?"

"it is good."

Lin Qian closed the door, walked gracefully in front of Father Lin, lowered her eyes slightly, and quietly filled Father Lin's cup with tea.

Father Lin who sat down according to Yan looked at the cup, then at Lin Qian.

"Father, the tea has been poured, can you check the temperature?"

The water glass was ninety percent full, Lin Qian smiled and moved the teacup towards Father Lin.

The longer she stayed with the young lady, the shallower Lin Qian's memories of the past became, to the point that she often felt that those memories were just a deep dream.

But hearing Father Lin's arrival today, those shallow memories in Lin Qian's mind suddenly became so clear that she could remember everything that happened after Father Lin's arrival.

But when she actually saw Father Lin, and just had such a shallow conversation with Father Lin, Lin Qian felt that those uneasiness and uneasiness receded strangely.

What should be faced is always to be faced, and she is no longer what she remembers.

Father Lin quickly took the cup and drank it all in one gulp, without waiting to savor the taste of the tea, he said directly:

"The temperature of this tea is just right, and the tea water is also delicious, with a light fragrance.

Qian'er, father's visit this time is actually..."

"Father, what is it?"

Lin Qian didn't go forward to pour tea for Father Lin, she sat down on the chair beside Father Lin, tilted her head slightly, and sat upright, with the most appropriate doubts.

Lin Qian like this reminded her other three children differently than any other meeting.

Perhaps when he made the decision to sell Lin Qian to Fangfu, no matter what the reason was, this child was different from the other three children.

"Father?"

Seemingly puzzled by Father Lin's silence, Lin Qian asked softly again.

Father Lin exhaled forcefully, clenched his fists tightly, and his dark skin turned slightly red.

"Qian'er, your youngest sister also got married last year, and you are already eighteen after Chinese New Year, you have already passed the age of marriage.

Last year's harvest was good. We sold all the crops in the field, and your younger brother and sister collected some. I have already collected your ransom money. My father came here this time to redeem you and find money for you. A matchmaker, looking for a decent family to marry.

Parents know that they have been sorry for you since childhood, so they can't let your life be ruined like this. "

Ever since Lin Qian was young, Lin's father was not a talkative person. Every time they met, he would only repeat a few words over and over again. Obviously, these words had been chewed in his heart many times, so that he finished them all in one go. Without pause.

As if to show his seriousness, Father Lin carefully took out a small cloth bag from the pocket of his coat, opened it slowly, and saw that there were fine pieces of silver and copper coins inside.

"Qian'er, father and mother have counted many times, these are enough."

When those tiny copper coins and silver pieces were faintly shining on the table, Father Lin raised his head again, and smiled awkwardly on his slightly flushed face. The skin was extremely rough, but it was undeniable that this was a heartwarming hair. soft smile.

Lin Qian didn't hate Lin's father's decision to sell her to Fang's mansion when she was young, because she knew that she would be able to see the young lady. However, his parental feelings have always been very weak.

She doesn't blame them, but she can't get close to them either.

So it doesn't matter if they come to see her or not, she doesn't really care.

Because of the blessing of memory, Lin Qian actually had a little bit of resentment towards Father Lin's arrival this time.

Because with his arrival, Lin Qian's problems that she wanted to pretend didn't exist will be exposed clearly, and there is no possibility of avoiding them.

But the father and mother who are usually so estranged from her that they have nothing to say, still have a sincere heart for her?

Then why, in those last few years, did you look at it once from the end?

Or is it that they have been here, but they have been artificially separated and cannot get close to her?

"Qian'er, you count it first, and if it's enough, you take your father to see the young lady, beg for mercy, and ask the young lady to let you go."

Father Lin's urgent voice rang in his ears, easily shattering Lin Qian's chaotic thoughts.

Lin Qian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and very slowly, she carefully put the silver and copper coins on the table back into the cloth bag, and slowly moved towards Father Lin.

"Father, you collect the money first, so you can save it."

"But the money is..."

Father Lin didn't put it away, and wanted to push the bag towards Lin Qian with his hand in embarrassment, but when he saw Lin Qian finally raised his eyes to look at him, his hand stopped involuntarily.

Lin Qian's eyes were dark and bright, because she was smiling slightly, her eyes were slightly curved, with a sense of softness, but if you look closely, you can find that these eyes are full of unchangeable firmness:

"Qian'er knows what my father means, and I also thank my father, mother, and younger siblings for their kindness to me.

However, Qian'er never needed to redeem herself.

Because from the moment I came to Fangfu, I will never leave Miss again! "

She was obviously a soft girl who couldn't reach her, and she was obviously sitting with a certain temperament, but her soft, smiling words were very clear and firm.

That is an unquestionable, absolutely unchangeable idea.

"Crack~"

Father Lin shook his hand when touching the cloth bag, and the cloth bag was pushed to the ground. Copper coins and silver pieces were randomly scattered on the ground. Father Lin, who lowered his head in a panic, and Lin Qian, who helped to pick it up, never noticed that there was a window outside the closed window. Youdao figure trembled at this moment, and then ran away in small steps, holding up the hem of his skirt in some panic.

The author has something to say: Although he didn't express his heart, it is actually a kind of confession, hehe.
