Mrs. Lin wiped her tears, and said helplessly: "You, you, what do you want your mother to say about you? Your father and I are the only prostitutes under your knees. I have placed all our hopes on you and will take good care of you. , I have taught you for twenty years. Except for your marriage, it’s your parents who don’t help you. Fortunately, An’er is a good boy, even if he is not a great child, his quality is not bad. Apart from this, what is your father’s sorry Where is your place? Do you know how many times your father blushed for you with the heads of the family?"

Madam Lin sighed and watched her daughter kneeling straight in front of her. How could she not feel bad? He softened his tone and continued: "As you grow up day by day, and then take over the power of Palace Chief Lin, I have less and less regrets as a mother. I often say to your father:'Our daughter is absolutely amazing. No worse than a man, you and my husband and wife are ethical and destined to have no children. Fortunately, God treats us not thinly. I gave a daughter who has beaten a man to be content.'Mother, when will we land? Do you know the family rules of the Lin family? Patriarch without a son cannot enter the ancestral grave, let alone the ancestral hall. Don’t you know this? How much did your father endure for you? You... from childhood to adulthood You have never let your mother down. Why are you so confused this time? This home is yours sooner or later. You are still young, so how can you survive those old things that separate families? When the older generations are gone, your seniority will be too. When you get up, who would dare to question your decision? What will you do at that time, who can control? Why do you choose to make such a mistake at this point? You have never even discussed with your dad about the annual income. , Donate on your own initiative. Do you know how the people who divide the family forced your father? If your father really has a long and two shortcomings, I will just let him go... But what about you? Leave a name of unfilial piety and unrighteousness, How can I live in the future?" Mrs. Lin said more and more sad, hiding her face and weeping.

At this time, Mrs. Lin didn't know anything about Aunt Liu, nor did she know the real reason why Lin Wei was called by Li Qingshan. Lin Wei was insulted by Li Qingshan, how could he tell the "outsiders"?

Madam Lin only thought that the reason for Lin Wei's illness was Lin Buxian's decision to donate the silver, as well as the persecution of the division of families, so her tone was naturally harsher.

Lin Buxian gritted his teeth, did not argue for himself, silently accepted all the harshness.

Even if she knows that her father’s illness has very little to do with her, even if she knows that since the day her father sent Aunt Liu away, he has been separated from their wives, but looking at his mother like this, Lin Buxian Can only choose silence.

If my mother knew the truth of the matter, perhaps the person lying on the bed would not be alone.

...

Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her daughter, but Lin Wei was so frightened that she regretted the heavy remarks. Looking at Lin Buxian, she didn’t even have a word of excuse, but she was even more regretful. She stood up and helped Lin Buxian up. , Said: "My mother is getting old, and I have been in the same boat with your father for most of my life. He fell ill and I was anxious, so I didn't hesitate to say something serious. Don't take it to your heart."

"My mother's lesson is that this matter is the daughter's lack of consideration. When the father wakes up, the daughter will surely admit her mistake and strive for the father's forgiveness."

There was a trace of relief in Mrs. Lin's eyes: "Okay, don't blame yourself too much. Didn't you just say Doctor Bai? Your father was so angry with the people who were separated, and he will be able to raise it for a few days. It's...When your father wakes up, I will ask him what he means, so please don't say anything for now."

"Sisters, where's brother-in-law?"

Mrs. Lin lowered her voice and said, "Don’t tell them for the time being. After all, they are not the meat that fell from their mothers. Will they have the same heart with you? Tomorrow they will go to the backyard to visit their biological mother. Will come over, and when your father wakes up, I will ask him what he means. Don't tell them before then."

"Yes."

"As for An'er's side... he can be regarded as my and your father's half son. Let him come over and do his filial piety, but you have to tell him not to talk to outsiders."

"Daughter understands."

...

Yun'an finished freshening up and was about to go to find Lin Buxian, but the door of the room was knocked.

"Come in."

You Yi pushed the door and walked in, and came to Yun'an and said, "Maid Yuyi, I have seen my uncle."

"Sister Yi is just right, where is your lady?"

You Yi glanced at Yun'an bitterly. The two of them, the master and servant, stayed up all night last night, and they still haven't had time to rest. This person is pretty good and sleeps three rods in one night! The young lady is also true, and would rather be tired than let people disturb him. A big man... looks better than a woman, really...

Although full of resentment, Yuyi did not dare to show it. After the last time of restraint, Yuyi had already learned a lesson. She also understood: The "little white face" in front of her is the treasure of her own lady, and she can't afford to offend it.

"In reply to my uncle, the lady sent someone to call the young lady to the front yard last night. The young lady called the slave maid to see if the uncle was up. If it does, please go to the main yard after dinner."

"What's the matter again?" After these recent events, Lin Wei and Yunan's father's three-pointed favor has long been lost, and now Yunan will blow up as soon as he hears about Lin Wei's affairs.

"The slave and maid don't know it, but Auntie will know if you go and see for yourself."

Yun An hurried out of the room, where he could take care of eating, and rushed to the front yard. Everything in the yard was as usual. When the maidservant saw Yunan, she saluted and continued to do her own things in an orderly manner.

Yunan came to the door, please inform the maid.

After a while, he was allowed to enter the bedroom.

The smell of wormwood permeated the room, and all three of the Lin family were there.

Lin Wei was wearing a snow-white coat and sitting on the bed with a very bad expression. Mrs. Lin was feeding Lin Wei with a medicine bowl. Lin Buxian was standing aside, holding a copper basin in her hand, and the edge of the basin. With net cloth.

Yun An breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped forward to take the copper basin from Lin Buxian's hand and said softly, "I'm coming."

Lin Buxian stepped aside, Madam Lin turned her head and took a look, then smiled and said, "Are you here?"

"An'er has seen father, mother, father, what's wrong?"

"Oh, your father is a little uncomfortable, it's okay."

During the whole process, Lin Wei did not raise his eyes, and took a few more sips. Only the bottom of the bowl was left. Lin Wei pulled the quilt on him, closed his eyes and waved to Mrs. Lin.

"Master, there is one last bite left, and the essence is in it, how can you bear it?"

"Take it down, let me rest. You all go down and rest too."

Madam Lin had no choice but to put the medicine bowl on the small table aside. Lin Buxian washed the cloth and handed it to her mother. Madam Lin took it and wiped her face again.

After doing all this, the three of them walked out silently.

Mrs. Lin said to Yun'an, "Come here, An'er and Mother, Xian'er go and rest. I didn't sleep last night, so don't be exhausted."

"Yes."

Yun An followed Mrs. Lin, took a few steps and suddenly looked back at Lin Buxian, and made a gesture of "walking" with two fingers, and then made a gesture to sleep. ——Go back to the room and sleep. Yun An said to Lin Buxian.

Lin Buxian was taken aback. She had never seen such a peculiar posture. She really couldn't comprehend the meaning of Yun'an's movements. She stood there and thought about it for a long time. She didn't think of a reason, so she could only go back to the room and wait for the cloud. Ann comes back and asks again.

Mrs. Lin brought Yunan to the Buddhist hall. Seeing the plaque of "Fragrant Offering", Yunan suffered from neuropathic back pain, leg pain, **** pain, wrist pain... I felt like a cicada pupa instantly, and she couldn’t wait to stay where she was. Twisting, there is really no comfort in the whole body.

"Mother, mother!" Yun An decided to save himself before the corporal punishment came.

Madam Lin stopped and asked, "What's the matter, An'er."

"Mother, did the child do something wrong? You said, I must change..."

Mrs. Lin, who had come to understand, was a little bit dumbfounded, and said helplessly: "You did nothing wrong. This time my mother called you to worship the newly-invited Bodhisattva. When you went to Beijing, I specially invited the monk. It’s very effective."

"Oh, good!" As long as it is not "corporal punishment", let Yun'an do anything!

When I came to the hall, it was divided into two rooms, one for Buddhism and one for Taoism. Each room contained more than a dozen statues of gods. It was cleaned daily and incense was a big project. Mrs. Lin has been doing it herself, showing how much it is. Pious.

Mrs. Lin said, "I have already had the morning incense of today, so you can go to the Bodhisattva to worship, beg, and be more religious."

Speaking of Mrs. Lin, facing one of the Buddha statues, her hands folded and bowed: "Go."

Yun'an walked forward and saw an extra table in the Buddhist hall with a holy and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Yunan remembers that there is already a bottle in the Buddhist hall. After a closer look, he discovered the mystery. This The Guanshiyin Bodhisattva's hand is not a clean bottle, but a swaddling, a white and fat doll lying in the swaddling, the sculpture is called a lifelike, small eyebrows, dimples, you can see clearly.

"This is... Guanyin for the Son?!"

"Yes, this is the mother who specially invited someone to the Fahua Temple, and asked the master abbot to preside over the consecration. The Bodhisattva who invited back, the master said that this Guanyin is very spiritual, as long as you burn incense every day, pray sincerely, and be kind. Yes. Don't stand stupidly, go to Jingxiang and kowtow!"

Yun An let out a sigh in his heart. He and Yixi are both women. It's weird to be able to give birth to a child, but she can only follow the instructions and burn incense and bow down. Just as she was about to get up, Mrs. Lin held her shoulders from behind.

Mrs. Lin seemed to feel that Yun'an was too "perfunctory", so she personally lit three incense sticks and put them in the incense burner to give a set of three kneeling and nine knocks, and then she knelt on the futon next to Yun'an with her hands folded. Prayed: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of Great Compassion and Compassion, a disciple who does good deeds all his life, and now he has only one wish for him over half a hundred years. The little girl Lin has been married for more than half a year, and there is no news in his stomach. Kneeling next to him is the son-in-law of the disciple, hope The Bodhisattva manifested compassion and blessed him, so that he can blossom and bear fruit with his little daughter as soon as possible, and the melons will be ripe and fruitful... Many children are more blessed, children and grandchildren are full, and they will hold two in three years..."
