Chapter 33
Songge is located in the inner courtyard of the courtyard, and is the exclusive study of the old master. Generally, there are few people entering except for the few masters in the mansion, so it is relatively quiet.
There are not many servants serving Songge, and they are the old master who can only enter. There are a few pine and cypress trees planted at the gate of Songge. In the early morning, there are small fog beads hanging on the tips of the pine leaves, which look hazy.
"Old man, the eldest lady is here." At the door, the servant stopped and reported to the room.
Lin Shuangyu looked around openly, more simple than he thought.
"Come in."
The sound from inside the house seemed a little dull and there was no emotion to hear.
"Miss, please." The servant bent over and made a gesture into the house, indicating that Lin Shuangyu could go in.
Looking down at the threshold, Lin Shuangyu raised her feet and walked in. The house seemed to be warmer than the old lady. She looked at it. An old man was standing in front of a large desk to practice calligraphy. The candlestick on the desk had been extinguished and the window was open. No wonder the fire was still cold.
There are no other servants in the room. Needless to say, this is the old man of the Lin family. He looks more energetic than ordinary old people. His navy blue cotton robe is clean and neat, and he wears a brown fur hat. He never looked up and was very focused when someone entered the room.
On both sides of the desk, there are several carved mahogany chairs symmetrically. There are rows of bookshelves on the east side, and a few short boards on the west side. There is a chessboard on the table. There are still unfinished games in Qipan Mountain.
"Shuangyu greets the old man." His voice is neither humble nor arrogant, with a sense of unfamiliarity and distance. If you listen carefully, you will hear a hint of tension and forbearance.
In fact, she had met this old man Lin, although it was just a one-time encounter! However, she would never forget it, nor could she forget it.
Because, the old man from the Lin family was actually the one who sent the box to her mother! Although he has grown much older after so many years, she still recognized it at a glance.
Lin Shuangyu tried her best to restrain her emotions, suppressed the shock in her heart and all the words she wanted to blurt out, and tried to make herself look calm.
Lin Hengzhong nodded without looking up and continued to lower his head to write.
The room was very quiet. After a while, Lin Hengchong put his pen and looked up. There was a strange color in his eyes, and he pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on Lin Shuangyu's face.
Finally, there was a trance on his face, and it was fleeting.
He moved his eyes away, walked away from the desk and sat down in front of the short table on the west side. He didn't look at Lin Shuangyu, and thought to himself, neither letting someone go out nor asking questions.
Lin Shuangyu stood quietly, facing the window, the cold wind made her wake up a little, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves. Perhaps, everything was a certainty in the dark.
In the past, what she hated the most was the theory of fate, but now, she hopes that God will let her be reborn in the Lin family, which is the fate, and she must figure it out clearly.
"Are you fourteen, but have you ever resented?"
Lin Hengchong spoke again, as if he asked casually, and his eyes never left the chess game.
"By the old man, it's the fourteenth, Shuangyu dares not complain."
He didn't dare to do it, and his answer was straightforward and clever. Lin Hengchong paused with his hand holding the chess piece, turned his head and looked at his granddaughter again, and then continued to stare at the chessboard.
Youyou sighed, "You made that sock cover?"
"yes!"
"Follow your sisters and go to school in the school room."
"yes!"
Hearing the sounds, Lin Hengchong couldn't help but turn his head and take a look again. Is this granddaughter really dull, or is he complaining too much, and thought he was a smart person...
I was about to send it out, but at first glance, I was stunned.
At this moment, a slightly familiar face was full of stubbornness, her eyes were filled with tears but no drop was left, and she was staring at herself waterily.
How many things have you experienced when you live to this age? Lin Hengchong has been tempered for a long time, but at this moment, a heart that has experienced vicissitudes seems to be hit by something, and it feels so uncomfortable.
Putting down the chess piece means that you are old and your heart is easy to be weak, or because of this face that looks a little like your son.
"Come here, child, grandfather knows you feel wronged." He waved his hand and turned around to stare at the endgame. This game has been going on for three days, and it seems that it has been a result of nothing. He sighed and raised his hand to pick up his child. The so-called destiny may sometimes be absurd.
Lin Shuangyu adjusted her breathing and breathed a long sigh. Before she came, she had never thought about how deeply the old man would have impressed her, but now it was different. She had to do everything step by step and she wanted to find out the whole story of the murder of her grandfather's family from him.
She can't be anxious, she can't be anxious, she is weak now, she can't be anxious, she has too much to do, step by step, as if she is silently reminding herself not to be anxious!
"Children, do you understand that people have to look forward to live your life?"
Is it necessary for Lin Shuangyu to let go of the grievances in his heart, let go of the past, and live the future steadily? But what about the future?
Even if the Lin family told her a decent marriage to make up for it, would Lin Shuangyu have wiped it out in the past ten years? Can she live a smooth life with peace of mind?
The answer is no. If it weren't for her arrival, Lin Shuangyu would no longer exist, so there is no if.
"Old Master, Shuangyu wants to ask you to agree to something." In this life, apart from her background, the most uncontrollable thing a woman cannot control is marriage.
She had too much to do and couldn't take too much time to deal with this matter, so she had to take advantage of this moment to solve the problem first.
Lin Hengchong's heart, which had just softened, instantly became armed again. While picking up chess pieces, he said casually: "Tell me."
He was able to call her today because of a little compassion in his heart. In addition, this was the eldest son's blood and wanted her to live in the mansion in the future without being too difficult.
But if he is a ignorant and ignorant person, he will let her luck, and the Lin family still has many things to worry about, and today it is an exception.
"Old Master, Shuang Yu did not discuss marriage before the Sixteenth, so I beg the old master to fulfill his wish." With his words, even the old lady would not interfere in her marriage.
Obviously, Lin Hengchong did not expect such a request. If this granddaughter asked for a good marriage, he could understand, "Do you know, the woman who did not discuss marriage before the 16th..."
The 16th woman who has not yet discussed the marriage is an old girl. It will be difficult to say that the marriage will be good in the future. She refused to even decide this?
Why? A woman’s marriage is a lifelong event.
"Please help the old man!" Lin Shuangyu knelt down slowly and gave a big gift.
Lin Hengchong looked at the eldest granddaughter who was unexpectedly stubborn, looked at it for a moment, sighed, "Let's go." However, he couldn't help but feel curious again, what did this granddaughter who had just returned think about again.
"Old Master Xie!" He breathed a sigh of relief, and it was considered a major problem to be solved.
"Go." She waved her hand, whether she called the old master or grandfather, Lin Heng didn't mind too much when he rushed over.
"yes!"
He stood up, lowered his head and took two steps back, and turned around and came out.
"Wait, are you literate?" Lin Hengchong looked at the blue color that had reached the door and asked in a deep voice.
