The kitchen woman started to serve food. Lin couldn't wait for her daughter to come in for a long time, and walked to the door of the main hall curiously. She saw her daughter standing under the peach tree in the yard with her little head tilted, wearing a peach bun, and two buns combed on her head. She was staring at the peach blossoms all over the branches without blinking, like a girl statue, looking cute.

"An An, I've had dinner, and I'll look at the flowers after dinner." Lin called out with a smile.

Song Jianing's neck was almost sore, and finally waited for her mother to take the bait. She rubbed her neck with satisfaction and ran to her happily: "Mom, my sister said that the peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island are blooming, and they are very beautiful. Do you take me there too?"

Since ancient times, there have been many troubles in front of widows. After her husband passed away, Lin had no mood to play, and was worried about causing gossip, so he stayed in the back house and rarely went out all year round. At this time, her daughter acted coquettishly, and her first reaction was helpless. She touched her daughter's mind and said, "My second uncle's family was going to enjoy the flowers. If you ask you to go, you won't go. Do you regret it now?"

Song Jianing pouted, hugged his mother and muttered, "I want to be with my mother. Can you take me there? I haven't been out for a long time."

Lin was stunned when he heard this. His daughter was lively and active. She was so suffocating for her husband for the past three years. As soon as she showed her filial piety, she followed her niece every day. She went to play with her friends nearby in the morning, and came back after lunch. After dinner, she continued to run out. However, since her daughter had nightmares for several nights in the first month, the little girl stopped moving and stayed by her side every day.

"Tell the truth to An An and mom, have you quarreled with your sister?" Lin asked with his daughter in the house, holding her seat and holding her daughter's shoulder.

Song Jianing shook his head blankly: "No, why did mom ask that?"

The daughter's expression was not like a fake, and Lin became even more confused and said suspiciously: "Then why don't you go to play with her?"

Song Jianing had already made up his mind to alienate his second uncle's family, and was waiting for the opportunity to remind his mother that his second uncle's family was unbearable. At this moment, he lowered his head and held his little hand and said softly: "Sister doesn't like me. I went to find her that day. When I heard my second aunt advised her not to bully me. My sister was unhappy, so my second aunt said, "Our family is rich and my sister is kind to me, so my mother is willing to give her money. She also said that when our family's money is used up, my sister can bully me."

Lin's face changed suddenly. Her daughter was only ten years old. She only knew how to eat, drink, play and sleep. She would definitely not lie. Her younger brother and sister...

"Mom, my second aunt asked my sister to bully me. Does she also like me?" Song Jianing raised her head and asked with red eyes. She was really wronged, for the harsh treatment of her uncle and aunt in her previous life.

My daughter was confused and pitiful. Lin suddenly turned red in her eyes and felt very guilty. She always felt that her life was miserable. Her parents who were as precious as her, passed away at an age. Her brother, who had been deeply in love with her, was soft-hearted because her sister-in-law gradually alienated her and married far away from Jiangnan. After a few years of love, her husband unfortunately died of illness. In the past three years, she has been immersed in sorrow all day, but forgot that her daughter has a more miserable life than her. She has lost her father at a young age. Her aunt she really likes, and her cousin seems kind, but in fact she has hidden scheming.

"How could it be? An An is the most well-behaved and sensible. Everyone likes An An." Recoiling back her tears, Lin kissed her daughter's forehead and said gently.

Song Jianing's teardrops as big as beans fell off. It's so nice to have a mother, and it feels so good to be coaxed by her mother.

The daughter cried as soon as she said she cried. Lin was panicked. Knowing that her daughter wanted to see the peach blossoms in full bloom, she immediately coaxed her: "An An doesn't cry, my mother promised to take you out for fun. If you cry and swollen your eyes, we can't go out."

Song Jianing burst into tears and laughed.

Lin also smiled, helped her daughter wipe her face herself, applied facial fat again, and then led her to eat.

Breakfast was very simple. Each mother and mother had a bowl of three shrimp noodles, and a plate of four meat-filled soup buns were placed in the middle. These were the childhood tastes that Song Jianing deeply missed. He drooled with the smell of rice just by smelling the fragrance of the rice. He immediately sat on a mahogany round stool, picked up a soup bun, dipped it in vinegar, and ate happily.

After eating a soup bun, Song Jianing started eating noodles, and took a few bites of noodles and then a shrimp, which was made of meat and vegetables, and was tasted with relish.

Lin's appetite has not been good for the past three years, but today I don't know if it was infected by her daughter's sip, or if she had just figured it out, she decided to take good care of her daughter before taking good care of her life. Seeing that her daughter was eating so deliciously, her appetite actually increased. She only ate a few bites of noodles this morning, and even picked up a soup bun.

When Song Jianing saw this, he was so happy that he picked up the last soup bun and respected his mother: "Mom takes another one."

Lin shook his head and smiled: "Eat An An, I'm full."

Song Jianing glanced at his mother's slender waist and misunderstood that his mother was afraid that she would gain weight if she ate too much, so she ate it herself.

After dinner, Lin asked the maid to know that the coachman was preparing a mule cart. She went back to the inner room to change her clothes, changed her spring shirt with orchids embroidered with a plain bean-green robe, and a white skirt underneath, which was simple and elegant, and was the kind of inconspicuous dress that walked on the street. After changing the clothes, Lin changed the jade hairpin on her head to a wooden hairpin. The only thing that could not be replaced was a fair and beautiful face that was one in a million.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin suddenly felt a little sad. The peach blossoms bloomed and some people appreciated her. She was just beautiful, but how could she like to appreciate her husband, who had long been no longer in the world.

"Madam." The maid Qiuyue walked over with a white hat and called softly.

Lin came back to his senses and smiled faintly.

After dressing up, Lin took his daughter's fat hand and walked out of the gate of the big room. He ran into Hu, who was rushing towards him. Because of his daughter's words, Lin was no longer happy with this sister-in-law, but the surface etiquette still had to be maintained, so he took the cover for the time being and asked Hu politely: "My brother and sister are in a hurry, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Hu looked at Song Jianing and his mother without a trace, and said dryly: "It's okay, I heard you are going out, I'll come and take a look."

Lin looked down at her daughter and smiled and said, "An An wants to see the peach blossoms. I think the weather is good, so I will take her to visit Peach Blossom Island."

Mrs. Hu was secretly happy, but said, "It's time to go and see. My sister-in-law is stuck in the house every day. Go out for some breath, which is good for your health. Then go quickly. There are not many people boarding the pier at this time, and you will have to squeeze out any later." As she said that, she gave up the place diligently.

Lin nodded and led his daughter away.

Mrs. Hu smiled and sent the mother and mother to the door. Seeing her mule cart turn with her own eyes, she immediately called her daughter and returned to her parents' home in the name of visiting relatives. The two counties were adjacent, but Lin's journeyed slowly in the mule cart. Turning back, his younger brother rode a donkey to chase him. Maybe he could arrive in front of Lin's side by the Taihu Lake.

~

The mule cart was walking steadily and slowly, but Lin and his daughter went out for spring outings to relax, so they were not in a hurry.

The spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and there are scenery on both sides of an ordinary official road. The sparkling paddy fields and the green willows swaying in the wind often have three or two peach trees. The plum trees come into view, accompanied by the crisp and pleasant chirping of birds, quiet and peaceful, like a timeless painting of the south of the Yangtze River.

"Mom, look at the sky!" Song Jianing lay by the window to see the scenery, and suddenly called his mother excitedly.

Lin leaned over and looked up, and saw a group of geese walking in groups, heading north.

When Lin suddenly felt a little confused about her home in the capital. When her husband passed away, her brother came to pay condolences and asked her quietly if she wanted to remarry. Lin didn't want to, and she didn't want to affect her brother and sister-in-law's relationship. If she really wanted to remarry, she had to go back to her parents' home first, but her sister-in-law didn't like her, and she would definitely speak coldly and sarcastic when she met.

Touching his daughter's head, Lin sat down again.

After walking for half an hour, the mule cart finally arrived at the edge of Taihu Lake. The sky was clear and the misty waves were vast. The island closest to the shore was Peach Blossom Island. Every spring, the island was like a cloud of peach blossoms, and it was quite famous in the local area. When it was the flowering season, people, wealthy businessmen, and government officials would choose a sunny day to go to the island to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the flowers.

The mother and the mother came early, and there were no one on the shore. There were three small boats on the lake. A black-sailed boat had already set off. A black-sailed boat was parked on the side, and another simple small boat was something that ordinary people liked to ride. Lin's dowry was generous and had plenty of money. After getting off the car, the maid Qiuyue went directly to the black-sailed boat to ask for the price.

"If you charter a boat for five cents, and then set off the boat after ten people are full, each person will be fifty cents." The boatman said in local language.

Qiuyue took out a silver slot worth five cents and handed it to the boatman: "My wife has chartered the boat."

The boatman smiled and said ok, put away the silver and put the boat boards attentively.

Lin clasped his daughter's little hand tightly, and the mother and the two boarded the boat together.

The master and servant were seated. Just as the boatman was about to set off, two rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the shore, and someone shouted loudly: "Wait!"

The voice was full of energy. The boatman looked up and two black-headed horses were already in front of him. The leader was wearing a gray robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very circumspect, with the aura of a martial arts practitioner. Seeing that he was not on the boat, the thick-eyed man slowed down and let the people behind him line up in front of him.

The boatman looked over and was stunned at first sight. The man who changed into him was in his early thirties, wearing a black round-necked robe and a white jade pendant hanging around his waist, shining with an attractive light in the sun. He looked at his appearance as a wealthy family. He looked at his eyebrows like a green peak and his eyes like a cold star, with a cold face, which was more majestic than the general on the stage.

It was obvious that he didn't pay attention to when the other party got off the horse. When the boatman reacted, the cold-faced man had already strode on the boat.

The boatman was in a dilemma and was about to explain that the boat had been taken away by someone, but the behind man suddenly threw something over. The boatman instinctively caught it and looked down. He saw that it was a little ingot. The boatman grinned and kicked the ingot into his arms. The man didn't move, and he listened to the movement inside the boat. If the three women didn't make a fuss, he would quietly take the boat and make two money.

Qiuyue looked angry and asked her master with her eyes. As long as the wife gave her order, she would immediately go to the boatman to argue.

Lin wore a veil and glanced at the two of them quickly through the veil, shaking his head at Qiuyue in slightest.

Qiuyue also saw that the two new men were not easy to mess with, so she lowered her head sensibly and did not look at what shouldn't be seen, so as not to cause trouble.

On the other side of Lin's family, Song Jianing wanted to take a look and then retract his gaze, but for some reason, the more she looked at the man in black diagonally opposite, the more familiar she looked, the more she couldn't help staring at him, trying to recall if she had seen this person somewhere. As a result, she was so obsessed that the man in black suddenly looked at her, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

Song Jianing panicked and hurriedly hid back. Then, in the short moment when he met the man's eyes, Song Jianing suddenly remembered. She had never seen this man in black, but she had spent seven years with a family child who looked like the other party. That person was the famous prince of the Duke of Wei in the capital...
