Lu Jiao replied calmly: "They are accompanying their father in the front yard. Their father was injured, and they were very sad, so they stayed with their father all the time."

Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "He is a good child who is filial and courteous."

After finishing speaking, Madam Lin looked at the granddaughter in her arms and said, "Did you hear that? All the young masters of the Xie family are very filial."

Lin Xiuya snuggled into Mrs. Lin's arms and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandmother, I am also very filial. If grandma gets hurt, I will suffer to death."

Mrs. Lin heard it, it was a comforting post, and she laughed happily.

Beside Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Tong Juan suddenly clapped her hands and said: "The children are all good children, and they are about the same age. I don't think they should be relatives."

As soon as Mrs. Tong judge said, all the wives in the hall turned around and looked at Mrs. Lin and Lu Jiao.

Madam Lin didn't speak, she just turned her head and looked at Lu Jiao with a smile.

Lu Jiao didn't look at Mrs. Lin, but looked up at Mrs. Tongpan and said, "The children are so young, if they don't want to grow up, it will hurt them. This is a matter of their whole life. We should wait until the children are older to talk about such things. .”

"What do they know at such a young age? We must not be the masters for them right now."

As soon as Lu Jiao said that, Mrs. Lin's face darkened, and Lin Xiuya in Mrs. Lin's arms said angrily, "Do you disagree with me being your daughter-in-law?"

She didn't wait for Lu Jiao to speak, and said angrily: "You don't want me to be your daughter-in-law, and I don't want to be your daughter-in-law. I am Miss Lin, and you are just a mud leg from the country. My mother-in-law, dreaming."

Mrs. Lin didn't expect her granddaughter to say such words, her face turned from red to white, and from white to black again.

She glared at her granddaughter angrily, and shouted, "Lin Xiuya, why are you talking to adults?"

Lin Xiuya was frightened when she saw her grandmother was angry, her eyes turned red quickly, and she said aggrievedly: "Grandma, it's not that I lost my temper, it's that she doesn't want me to be their daughter-in-law, that's why I said that in anger of."

Seeing Lin Xiuya like this, Mrs. Lin felt very sad. She turned to look at Lu Jiao and said, "Actually, our family didn't mean anything like that. Mrs. Tongju just mentioned it casually. Mrs. Xie, don't think too much about it."

Lu Jiao replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, we didn't think too much, and we won't think too much. The children are so young, what do they know? It won't be too late to make an appointment when they are older."

Mrs. Lin was stopped by Lu Jiao's words, and her chest couldn't rise or fall.

Mrs. Lin was impatient to stay any longer, and felt very ashamed, she stood up and said: "Okay, let's go back today, tell Xie Tongzhi for me, let him rest well."

"Mrs. Shering."

Lu Jiao got up and sent Madam Lin and Madam Tongpan out.

As soon as Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang walked out of Xie's house, they got angry and said.

"What, I really think I'm a thing, isn't it just a country boy with mud legs, but I can pose in a proper way, bah."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Lin Xiuya into the Lin family's carriage, and Mrs. Wang said later, "Sister Lin, don't pay attention to her, she's just a fool with a clear mind. , the children's matter has always been the words of the parents, she doesn't understand this, it's the opinion of the country women, don't let yourself be fooled by her popularity."

Mrs. Lin calmed down, nodded and said: "I see, since their family doesn't know how to flatter, our family doesn't care to marry someone like their family."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the carriage outside: "Go back."

Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at the gate of Xie's house behind her, curled her lips speechlessly, then turned and got into her carriage.

The adults from the other families also came out, got into the carriage one after another, and left together.

The group of people in front of Xie's house left quickly.

After seeing off Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang and others, Lu Jiao went to Xie Yunjin's room in the front yard.

Xie Yunjin knew from her expression that she was in a bad mood, but because the four little ones were there, he didn't ask. He didn't ask Lu Jiao until the four little ones had gone to take a nap, "What happened? unhappy."

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Do you know why Mrs. Lin came here today? She came here with the intention of getting married to our family. Do you know how uneducated her granddaughter is? Open her mouth and say that I am a mud leg from the countryside. Son, the Xie family can't afford such a daughter-in-law."

Xie Yunjin's eyes turned cold, and she pursed her lips tightly.

It turned out that he was thinking that the well water would not interfere with the river water, but now it seems that the Lin family can't keep it, if they keep it, they will plot against them endlessly.

In the room, Lu Jiao saw that Xie Yunjin's face was not looking good, so she quickly reached out to hold his hand: "Okay, don't worry about it, take your time."

"it is good."

In the Lin family, Mrs. Lin was getting angry with the prefect Lin: "I've never seen such a ignorant person. What a beautiful girl from my family, Xiuxiu, she didn't agree to be their daughter-in-law. Isn't their family born with mud legs? What a big deal."

Mrs. Lin said later that she blamed the prefect Lin. It was the prefect Lin's idea to marry Lin Xiuya and the Xie family's child, but the prefect Lin didn't expect that the Xie family would directly disagree.

Lin Zhifu thought of this, and his face was extremely uncomfortable.

"My granddaughter who has been brought up well, I don't think their family is stupid, but their family thinks of me. It's all your bad idea. If it weren't for your bad idea, I would agree to let Xiuxiu marry their family ?"

Prefect Lin glared at Mrs. Lin angrily and shouted: "Okay, if you don't agree, don't agree, what's the big deal."

Mrs. Lin was so angry that her stomach hurt: "I feel ashamed. Do you know how many people were there? The entire Ningzhou officials' wives were there. Those people didn't say anything on the surface, and they might laugh at us behind the scenes. Well, it ended up being slapped in the face."

Magistrate Lin turned black with anger, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out. Mrs. Lin yelled at the back: "Don't try to win them over, they are things that oil and salt can't get in. You should think about how to deal with that!" Guy."

Prefect Lin was so annoyed that he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Xie Yunjin was an official ordered by the court. He couldn't kill him, and he couldn't win him over. what an idea.

Prefect Lin thought about going all the way to the study.

Xie Yunjin's injury was not serious, he only stayed in the mansion for three days and then went to work in the mansion's yamen.

The four little ones also went to study in West Maple Garden, but Xie Yunjin still let Li Nantian and Zhao Heng follow the four little ones to protect them.

Although the Ning family was suppressed by Xie Yunjin, their family and the Lin family had formed a grudge, and the Lin family might make some moves, so Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were worried about the four little guys, so they let Li Nantian and Zhao Heng protects the four little guys.
