Chapter 93 Turn 05(1/2)
Chu Shuning said, "You were only four or five years old at that time, so naturally I can't remember it. Zhao'er is three years older than you, and I remember more." After that, Chu Shuning asked Lin Zhao to salute Cheng Yunzhi again, and then looked at Bo Ruoyou, "When you were a child, you and Uncle Lin hugged you. Alas, in a blink of an eye, it's so big. Over the years, have you lived a good life with Yunzhi and Fangze?"
Bo Ruoyou smiled slightly, "The adoptive father and mother treat me well."
Chu Shuning patted the back of her hand and showed relief. When she turned her eyes and saw Huo Weilou sitting in the main seat, she felt a little embarrassed and asked again: "I made the Marquis laugh, but the wife heard that the Marquis and their father and daughter also knew each other?"
Lin Huai said: "Youyou met the Marquis in Qingzhou. The father and daughter also walked with the Marquis when they entered the capital this time. However, the Marquis didn't know their identity. After a round trip, everyone had already known each other, and it was also fate."
Huo Weilou smiled faintly, "It's true that fate is quite deep, and this marquis has also been a testimony today."
At this time, Lin Zhao said, "By the way, the two aunts of the Bo family, Yixian and Yixuan are all in our mansion today. Do they know that you are here today?"
Lin Zhao didn't know that Bo's family was in trouble back then, so he felt that since Bo Ruoyou was the second lady of Bo's family, the two wives and Bo Yixian, they must have known that they had returned to Beijing. However, after he said this, the hall was strange and quiet.
Cheng Yunzhi's face was slightly dark, and Chu Shuning said with a stingy forehead: "Today, a fairy festival was set up in the mansion, and several women and juniors from the mansion were invited to visit. They... they were invited together."
When Bo Ruoyou entered the mansion, he saw the Bo family. He was not surprised to hear this. But Cheng Yunzhi thought that Bo Ruoyou was away for many years and no one cared about him. The Bo family also took away the marriage that he had originally settled for Bo Ruoyou. He was so angry that he showed his expression on his face. "So that's it. After we returned to the capital, we had not yet returned to Bo's mansion to visit. We didn't expect to meet here today."
Lin Zhao saw that something was wrong and was a little confused for a moment. Lin Huai said awkwardly: "Yunzhi, if we knew that you were here today, we wouldn't have invited them here."
Cheng Yunzhi snorted, and Bo Ruoyou said calmly: "Uncle Lin, it's not a problem. We came suddenly. Since there are guests in the mansion, Aunt Lin doesn't have to accompany her here to avoid being rude."
Chu Shuning was a little grateful when she heard this, "Since I haven't seen you yet, can you see you today?"
Bo Ruoyou went to see Cheng Yunzhi, and Cheng Yunzhi twitched his lips indifferently, "Don't worry, I have to ask Lin Huai for some things first. It's not too late to see them again after asking clearly."
Bo Ruoyou also saw a little strange at this moment. Lin Zhao was also full of doubts on the side. Lin Huai coughed lightly and looked at Chu Shuning, "You go back to the inner courtyard first. The Yackey Club will be parted earlier tonight. Zhaoer, you are here to accompany the Marquis and Youyou. I will say a few private words to your Uncle Cheng--"
There were many people in the inner courtyard, and it was not a solution to leave like this. Chu Shuning had to leave. Lin Zhao also responded. Lin Huai sued Huo Weilou again, and then asked Cheng Yunzhi to speak with him.
Cheng Yunzhi had not entered Lin's mansion for many years, Lin Huai invited him to walk around the mansion. As soon as they left, only Huo Weilou was left in the house. Lin Zhao and Bo Ruoyou were sitting on the main seat with a faint expression. Bo Ruoyou seemed to be generous, but his back was standing in the spot with a stiff back. Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou with a sigh, his joy was beyond words.
"Miss Bo... Ah no, I should call your second sister, second sister. Do you know that I felt familiar with you when I saw you in Qingzhou for the first time? But I never thought that it was Uncle Bo's daughter at that time. Later I knew that your surname was Bo. I really felt that I was very destined to do so. At that time, I must not know who I was, right?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded with difficulty, "I didn't know when I was in Luozhou. Later, when I returned to the journey, I met my adoptive father. When he talked about Minister Lin, he said that he recognized Minister Lin, but he never said much."
At this point, Bo Ruoyou's eyes breeze glanced at Huo Weilou and said quickly: "The adoptive father said he wanted to visit his old friend two days ago, so I asked me to accompany him. At that time, I didn't know that his adoptive father was coming to visit Uncle Lin, but it was only a moment before he saw the Lin Mansion to understand."
She said to Lin Zhao to Huo Weilou. However, after hearing this, he did not move his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to have not fallen into reality, but only Bo Ruoyou, who was staring at him, knew that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
Lin Zhao was unaware of anything, and his eyes were still motionless on Bo Ruoyou. "It's such a pity. If my father and I were on the water road that day, we would have met Uncle Cheng earlier, so we would have recognized each other soon, and it would not have been delayed for so long." After a pause, he said again: "No wonder I realized that my second sister was a person who was in love early in the morning. It turns out that we had met when we were young. Today, I want to come to see each other again in Luozhou, but I don't know the other person's identity. It's really a rare fate."
Bo Ruoyou smiled stiffly, "Yes, it's rare..."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Lin Zhao thought she was restrained, he quickly slowed down his voice, "Second sister, you and my family are all good friends. Yixuan and Yixian have also come to our mansion to walk around since childhood. If you have not left Beijing, you must often come to our mansion to be a guest. Don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own."
Bo Ruoyou pulled the corners of his lips, thinking that things were not as simple as you see now.
Lin Zhao sighed again, "It's such a coincidence." After saying this, seeing Bo Ruoyou still couldn't let go, he went to see Huo Weilou again. He had met Huo Weilou today, not to mention that he and Huo Weilou are considered to be familiar with each other. Although he is of high status and powerful, he is still half a brother. So he walked towards Huo Weilou two steps closer, "Does the Marquis think it's a coincidence? Fortunately, the Marquis met his second sister in Qingzhou, otherwise he wouldn't have the fate of Luozhou."
Huo Weilou smiled, "It's indeed a coincidence."
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou, "It's a coincidence and a regret. However, it's not too late to know the old story now. My second sister has returned to the capital and hasn't returned to Bo's family?" After all, he was not a stupid person, and asked hesitantly: "But... what is the rift with Bo's mansion?"
The third master Bo is the legitimate wife, and Bo Ruoyou is the serious second lady of Bo, but the second wife of Bo's family has never mentioned such a big event as her return to the capital. Before, Bo Yixian and his sister did not know Bo Ruoyou when they saw Bo Ruoyou. But Bo Ruoyou returned to the capital for a few days, but he never returned to Bo's house. It was like she had nothing to do with Bo.
Bo Ruoyou was not afraid to answer this question, "I can't remember the events of that year, but I haven't returned to Beijing for many years and have a distant friendship with them, so I did not go back to visit immediately."
Bo Ruoyou said it simply, but Lin Zhaosi thought about it and felt a little unusual. He smiled and revealed the words that might make Bo Ruoyou unhappy, "This is nothing. Where is the second sister living now? Is it Uncle Cheng's house?"
"In Changxingfang, it was the old house of the adopted father."
Lin Zhao took another step towards her, "Today I will send my second sister and Uncle Cheng home, so I can recognize the door and visit you another day."
Lin Zhao is quite calm on weekdays, but now he is anxious and shows a little bit of youthful anger. He is enthusiastic, but Bo Ruoyou is very nervous, "This... is so troublesome to Mr. Lin..."
"How could it be?" Lin Zhao said sincerely: "You have been away from Beijing for several years and are finally back now. You should be given more care."
Bo Ruoyou started to sweat when his palms heard, and then Huo Weilou suddenly spoke, "It's nothing to take care of you more. He has arranged a marriage with your cousin, and it's your brother-in-law in the future, so it's also right."
Lin Zhao smiled suddenly, and Bo Ruoyou raised his eyes at the right time and said, "So that's it. I've seen my cousin sister. Mr. Lin and his cousin sister are really good matches."
Lin Zhao's expression became a little lighter, "I... and your cousin were married when I was a child—"
He had a lot of words to say, but suddenly the topic came here, which made him forget what to say. At this moment, a servant suddenly came outside and whispered at the door: "Young Master, the eldest lady of the Bo family and the eldest master are leaving. Please see you."
Lin Zhao frowned slightly, "Didn't you see me being accustomed to guests?"
Huo Weilou smiled at me, and Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "Young Master Lin doesn't have to accompany you here. Since they want to see you, go and see you. I will stay here with the Marquis."
Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment and went to see Huo Weilou again. Huo Weilou said in a normal expression: "Go."
Lin Zhao then bowed and walked out quickly.
"I'm happy to recognize my relatives?"
As soon as Lin Zhao left, Huo Weilou spoke mockingly.
Bo Ruoyou's face turned red and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Marquis Mingjian, I really don't know that I'm going to come to the Lin family today, and I don't know that Mr. Lin and my father had such a close relationship with his adopted father in the past."
Huo Weilou raised his hand and said, "Come here."
Bo Ruoyou's body tensed up and he said helplessly: "Marty, this is Lin's Mansion..."
Huo Weilou raised his sword eyebrows and his face became even heavier. It was obvious that he was suppressing his spirit.
Bo Ruoyou looked out and saw an embroidered robes guarding the gate of the courtyard and there was no one in the atrium. Then she walked towards him slowly. When she walked up to him, Huo Weilou said gloomyly: "What a brother and sister."
A jealousy smell filled the room, and Bo Ruoyou said helplessly: "I didn't shout."
He still stared at her calmly, his eyes wandering between her eyebrows and eyes as if he was to calm his anger. Bo Ruoyou was worried about being seen by him, and his face was slightly red, "Mr. Marquis, I really don't know that I'm coming here to visit today, and I have no intention of recognizing my brother..."
Huo Weilou seemed to be wrong, "If I were not in Lin's Mansion today, I wouldn't know that Lin Zhao would treat you very kindly."
Bo Ruoyou felt quite aggrieved, "I don't want to be so kind, but Mr. Lin is too concerned about the people of the Bo family. Speaking of which, I have never said a few words to him yet."
"I'm too concerned about the Bo family?" Huo Weilou sneered.
Bo Ruoyou said patiently: "It was the Marquis who said that he had a engagement with Bo Yixian, and he would be my brother-in-law in the future."
"I don't think he wants to be your brother-in-law." Huo Weilou said coldly.
Bo Ruoyou's eyes widened when he heard this, and then looked out anxiously, "Mr. Marquis... are talking nonsense. Mr. Lin has a marriage, and I am not familiar with him either. Today I suddenly learned that I met him when I was a child, and he is the daughter of a family family."
She was a little angry. Huo Weilou just wanted to go to the same place with another man. The other party was still married. This was really against etiquette. Seeing her embarrassed and annoyed, Huo Weilou forced himself to endure the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Don't you want to know why your adoptive father is dissatisfied with the Lin family, but they want to avoid you and Lin Zhao when they speak?"
Bo Ruoyou thought it was strange, but she didn't understand the old things back then, and she thought it was normal for elders to say something privately. However, when Huo Weilou asked this, she knew that things were not simple, "What can the Marquis know?"
Huo Weilou stared at her with phoenix eyes, "If you were you, the one who got married to Lin Zhao back then, how would you do it?"
...
Chu Shuning arrived at the inner courtyard and first apologized, and then said that there was a distinguished guest coming to the mansion today and that it would be inadequate to entertain guests. Although this statement clearly showed that there was no intention to drive the guests, the female relatives were either rich or noble, and they were all talented. How could they not understand? Soon someone asked for goodbye, and one person asked for goodbye, and the others responded one by one. Chu Shuning pretended to keep them and sent everyone out one by one.
Bo Yixian watched, but the question in her heart became bigger and bigger. What was even more strange was that Lin Zhao had not come back. Bo Yixian passed by Lin Mansion today and had not said a word to Lin Zhao, which also made her unwilling. So she explained to Hu and grabbed Bo Yixuan. The brother and sister were two steps behind. Bo Yixian said distressedly: "Why haven't Brother Lin Zhao come back?"
Bo Yixuan said: "Didn't it mean that there are distinguished guests coming to the mansion? They should be accompanying guests."
Bo Yixian looked around and saw that Mrs. Lin had accompanied several wives to the door of the mansion. She ordered her maid, "You can find a maid and servant who delivers tea in the front yard to ask who is the guest coming today."
Bo Yixuan frowned, "What are you doing inquiries about these things? It's so rude."
Bo Yixian said aggrievedly: "I have no other intentions, I just ask. The two families have settled a marriage, and I heard that Uncle Lin is about to take over as the Minister of Justice. Are you not curious about my brother?"
In this way, Bo Yixuan really wanted to know which noble man came to the Lin Mansion. The two of them were slow to leave, and soon the maid who went to inquire came back.
"Miss, young master, there is Wu Zhaohou who came to the mansion today, but it was too early. But half an hour ago, a father and daughter came to Lin's mansion. I had never asked about my identity. The servant only said that they were born in person. This was the first time I came to the house. He also said that there was no show. Seeing that he was not a member of the royal family, only the beautiful lady was born. Lord Lin attaches great importance to the two of them, and even Wu Zhaohou did not accompany him. Now, the young master stayed in the main hall to accompany him, and he and the master went to visit the garden in the mansion."
Bo Yixian was shocked. It was not a royal relative who came, but a father and daughter who came to the door for the first time. Bo Yixian had somehow had an ominous premonition in her heart. She grabbed Bo Yixuan's sleeve, "Didn't my brother say that I would come to borrow two books from Brother Lin Zhao today?"
Bo Yixuan hesitated and said, "But he is accompanying Wu Zhaohou."
Bo Yixian smiled slightly, "I borrowed books very quickly-"
Bo Yixuan sighed, "You just want to know who is the guest who makes the Lin family so nervous, right? Forget it, let's go and have a look. If it's really inconvenient, forget it."
Both of them were familiar faces in Lin's house, and they arrived at the front yard without any obstacles. They stopped when they saw the embroidered clothes guarding the gate of the courtyard, and then ordered the servant to report. After waiting for a while, Lin Zhao came out of the courtyard. He was always gentle and elegant. When he came out, his eyebrows were covered with a bit of gloomy color. Although it was extremely light, Bo Yixian had been paying attention to Lin Zhao for ten years, so how could he not see it?
Her heart skipped a beat again.
Lin Zhao walked closer and there was no trace on his face. He said gently: "It's really not good to be entertained. Today, guests came to the mansion. I'll invite you to the mansion another day."
Bo Yixuan smiled, "Who is coming? It makes you so nervous."
Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment, "It's my father's old friend."
Without identifying his identity, Bo Yixuan didn't realize anything, but Bo Yixian felt something was wrong. At this time, Bo Yixuan said about lending books. Lin Zhao originally wanted to call a servant to pick it up, but he thought that there were too many books in the study and it was difficult for the servant to find a place, so he had to speed up his pace to get it. Bo Yixian and the other two were still in the distance, and she looked at the front yard like a demon.
Lin Zhao went quickly and found a book for a while. When he came back, he felt a little sweat on his face. This made him more anxious and more important to the guests. But Bo Yixian and the other two had no excuse to stay. They came to the mansion only after saying goodbye.
Zhou Liang drove here today and was having tea at the gate of Lin Mansion. Hearing a guest walking out of the mansion, catching a cart and driving a horse. Thinking that his cart and horse were also outside, he came out to check it out. When he went out, he was just meeting Bo Yixian's brother and sister. Bo Yixian's eyes flashed over him. First, he felt familiar. When someone walked out of the mansion, he suddenly remembered it.
She stopped suddenly, and when she turned around, Zhou Liang had already returned to the house. However, she firmly believed that she had read it wrong and looked out again. She didn't park the carriage that Bo Ruoyou had seen yesterday?!
Han Yixian climbed up from the soles of her feet, and Bo Yixian clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand. Bo Yixuan was a little suspicious when she saw her stopping. The maid of the eldest wife Hu was already urging them to get on the carriage. Bo Yixian took a deep breath and walked towards Bo's carriage. As soon as she got on the carriage, her pale little face scared Hu.
"What's wrong?"
Bo Yixian held Hu's hand with cold fingertips, "Mother, let's not leave first, wait first."
Hu was puzzled, "What happened?"
Bo Yixian gritted her teeth, "My mother said, will my second sister who is wandering outside never come back?"
Mrs. Hu's eyebrows pounded, "What did that person do?"
To be continued...
