Lin Dai looked at the stranger in front of him.?((

In her first impression, the man in front of her was not pleasing. Her face and naked skin were dark. She was not the kind of gentle scholar at all, and she was full of toughness... Lin Dai hated dealing with strange and rude men.

Lin Dai has a sense of pride. In her opinion, only her husband is the best, and the men outside are all bad people.

"Who is he?"

Lin Dai heard that this person called himself a "villain" in front of Shen Xi, so he regarded it as an ordinary servant. Lin Dai herself has a low status in the Shen family, but she has a strong sense of esteeism. Therefore, when she asked Chen Xi this question, she had a little disdain on her face.

Chen Xidao: "Brother Lin, please tell me about your life experience again."

"ah!?"

Chen Xi's proposal surprised Lin Hengda. He looked at Lin Dai with a wry smile, and then looked at Chen Xi: "Mr. Shen, isn't this suitable?"

Chen Xi asked, "Then I will ask you... Where is Brother Lin's ancestral home?"

"The villain is from Yuezhou Prefecture, Huguang. He followed his official father to Guangdong in his early years..." Although he did not want to mention the sad things, out of respect for Chen Xi, Lin Heng still answered truthfully.

Chen Xi asked again: "Brother Lin once said that he has a sister. I wonder if he ever remembered her boudoir name and her detailed birthday?"

"This... my little sister's name is Dai'er. She was born on the fourth day of the sixth month of the year of Yisi..." Lin Heng answered very carefully.

Lin Dai was a little anxious when she heard this, with a little angry face, and scolded: "You...you...you are talking nonsense..."

Lin Heng looked at Lin Dai in confusion, his face full of grievances: "The villain dare not hide it from Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen. When my younger sister was nine years old, my Lin family was in trouble. She and her mother were missing. The villain was in the army in Yulin Guard for many years and never had the opportunity to find it."

Lin Dai couldn't believe it. She pulled Chen Xi's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly, and she stammered: "He...who is he?"

Chen Xi did not answer Lin Dai's question, but continued to ask: "What are the characteristics of brothers and sisters?"

"The characteristics of the little sister!? The little man vaguely remembered that when she was born, there was a red birthmark on her left wrist, and the little man also had one on her left leg. At that time, my mother once said that the little girl and the little sister were sent to our house by the Kitchen God, and even the birthmark on her body was very similar..."

Lin Dai is not allowed to believe it now, because her brother had a birthmark, and she didn't even tell Chen Xi, but her birthmark could not be hidden from the person beside her.

"Sir, what are you doing when you ask the younger one?" Lin Heng asked curiously.

Chen Xi did not answer, pulled Lin Dai, who was stunned, slightly lifted her left sleeve, and exposed her flaming red birthmark.

Lin Heng was surprised when he saw it. He stared at Lin Dai for a while and did not dare to recognize each other. He never expected that the woman in front of him with a beautiful face and noble temperament was his long-lost sister.

"Little...Little sister?" Lin Heng's voice trembled.

To Chen Xi's expectations, Lin Dai was not too excited, but instead grabbed Chen Xi's hand tighter.

Chen Xi originally thought she would be very excited when she saw her brother, but Lin Dai was obviously frightened and seemed to be afraid of something.

Chen Xidao: "Brother Lin, I want to explain some things to you. When Dai'er was escorted north by the Jinyiwei at the age of nine, she fled around Ninghua County. At that time, she and her mother were separated and lonely. Her mother happened to rush to the county town with me. Halfway through, her mother decided to accept her as a child bride. In the first half of this year, I officially married her, but... she just entered the school as a concubine. Brother Lin should not be surprised..."

Speaking of this, Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed.

The man didn't cry easily, but at this time Lin Heng was already full of tears. He lifted up his trouser legs, revealing the flaming birthmark on his calf, and choked and said, "You can take in your younger sister and give her a warm home so that she won't be hungry and freezing. This is her fortune. How dare the villain ask for too much? Little sister, you have suffered over the years!"

Even though Lin Dai distrusts Lin Heng, her blood is thicker than water. In addition, when she sees the familiar flaming birthmark, she can't help but shout "Brother", and the brother and sister's hands are pulled together.

Chen Xi left the room and found a rattan chair in the yard outside to sit down, asking the two brothers and sisters to talk and tell their separation.

After about a quarter of an hour, Chen Xi drank a few sips of tea that the officials respectfully delivered to him by the officials and officials. Lin Dai and Lin Heng had already walked out of the house.

Lin Heng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Xi, thanking him for his kindness.

Lin Dai did not kneel down. She thought she and Chen Xi were childhood sweethearts... It was time for you to marry me, so why did you kneel down and kowtow?

"Brother Lin, please get up."

Chen Xi helped Lin Heng up, and Lin Heng said another gratitude.

Chen Xi and Lin Heng had a "family friendship". Lin Heng was unexpectedly promoted to Deputy General Qian, and regarded Chen Xi as his benefactor. Although he was respectful when he met, he did not feel heart-to-heart. However, now he knew that it was his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and he immediately became much closer. The gap that originally straddled between the two finally disappeared completely.

Lin Heng sat down with Chen Xi, and then asked Chen Xi for advice on Lin Dai's affairs back then.

Chen Xi didn't know much about how Lin Dai was separated from her mother, but she just explained some of the things she knew. Lin Dai stood behind Shen Xi, wiping her tears from time to time, like a well-behaved daughter-in-law. But when Chen Xi talked about some of her **s, she secretly pinched Chen Xi's back with her hands, as if she blamed Chen Xi for telling such a secret thing "outsider".

Lin Dai always feels strange and alienated to Lin Heng.

"Brother Lin is about to leave and return to the border soon. He should have asked Dai'er to spend a few more days with you, but there is really...there is something inconvenient."

When Chen Xi felt that Lin Dai was not as close to Lin Heng as he imagined, he did not force him too much. As long as the brother and sister recognize each other, the lost relationship can be slowly cultivated. Now Lin Heng is a small officer in the border army, and he is still young, so he has the opportunity to be promoted in the future. Perhaps he will have a way to transfer him to the capital in the future. Lin Dai will have a family at that time.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Mr. Shen said, "This girl, Dai'er... has been willful since she was a child. Please tolerate her more."

Lin Dai was displeased when she heard this and said coldly: "What did you say?"

This tone was a little questioning. Lin Heng felt a little sad and even more confused when he heard this. Why was his sister not as excited as he saw him?

Chen Xi told Lin Heng his address and took Lin Dai out of the official post. Although Lin Heng was sick and unwell, he still sent it out to the door himself.

Only then did the soldiers outside realize that Lin Heng was the brother-in-law of this promising Hanlin official.

"President Lin Qian, congratulations, congratulations, when did you have a sister or Mr. Shen's wife? It's such a blessing! You should take care of your brothers in the future..."

A large group of people came to join Chen Xi and Lin Heng for a moment of flattery.

Chen Xi smiled and greeted everyone one by one, and then surrounded by people, he got on the carriage with Lin Dai.

The carriage started and walked a long way out before Chen Xi looked out from the rear window. Lin Heng was still standing in front of the official post and was watching the carriage leave with reluctance.

At this time, Lin Dai looked at Chen Xi with some resentment: "You... why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I don't know if he recognizes relatives indiscriminately, or if there are similarities in people? Only when you come in person can you express something." Chen Xi asked in confusion, "Why, don't you want to recognize your biological brother!?"

Lin Dai suddenly burst into tears, leaned in Shen Xi's arms, sobbed for a while before saying, "I...I...I...I don't know either."

As a girl who has not experienced much world, Lin Dai has gradually forgotten her previous family. Having a mother-in-law and a rival in love has already caused her a headache. She is thinking about how to please Chen Xi and let Chen Xi care more about her, but a brother ran out at this time.

Lin Dai is scheming, but her thoughts are not complicated. She just doesn't know how to face this brother-sister relationship.

"If you have something, let's talk about it after you go back. Anyway, Brother **** will set off to the border after a few days. If you still want to see him, I will make arrangements for you." Chen Xi said softly and comforted.

Lin Dai thought about it before making a "hmm" sound, then leaned against Shen Xi's arms and listened quietly to her husband's heartbeat.

When she was about to get home, Lin Dai couldn't help but remind: "You can't tell your mother about this, and... And Sister Yun'er, she will know it soon after she knows it."

Chen Xi smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't tell my mother, but I believe that even if I know, I will be happy for you."

"No, no, no, no, no, I won't. If my mother knew that I had a brother, she might say what to say to me. If I do something wrong in the future, she will definitely drive me out of the house and ask me to find my brother!"

After spending nearly ten years together, Lin Dai has been very accurate in Zhou's pulse. The reason why Zhou did not want to drive Lin Dai out in the past was because he knew that the little girl was homeless, but now it may not be necessary. With her parents' home, Lin Dai felt that the danger of being kicked out was increased.

Chen Xi smiled and patted her back: "Don't worry, no one will make things difficult for you with me. We are one."

"Who is with you?" Lin Daichen cursed, but his hand was holding Chen Xi tightly, and he used practical actions to express what she thought in her heart.

When she returned home, Lin Dai pretended to have nothing to do. Even when Xie Yuner asked her where she went, she stammered and refused to say anything.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I went to the foot of Xishan Mountain with Dai'er. She felt tired and came back."

Xie Yuner had known the situation for a long time, and probably guessed that Lin Dai didn't want to say it. She glanced at Chen Xi, nodded and pretended to be deceived. However, it was not easy for Zhou to pass. Zhou kept asking questions, almost asking Lin Dai's situation.

Chen Xi quickly changed the topic: "Don't I want to move here earlier? I have time tonight and just happened to go to have a meal with my parents and brothers and sisters."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid you kid will shirk your business again. I'll agree to take Yun'er and Dai'er over there later and let your father see, and he'll be holding his grandson."

Xie Yuner said: "Mom, isn't it a bit inappropriate for my daughter-in-law and Daier in the past?"

Chen Xi thought of Shen Mingjun's abnormal feelings towards Xie Yuner, and nodded, "It's good if the child goes there alone..."

This made Zhou a little unhappy and began to criticize Chen Xi. It seemed that Chen Xi was so heartless, but then he thought that he would move to the old house of Xie's family immediately, and his face was radiant. The complex expression made Chen Xi shake his head when he saw it.

I am a contradictory complex. Her feelings are simple and rich. In fact, she is just an ordinary woman with no talent and knowledge.

"This house is good, but my mother still wants to live with your Aunt Sun. She has been close to her for a long time and is not used to seeing her wherever she goes. Why don't you find another yard around and let her move here too?" Zhou looked at Chen Xi eagerly.

When talking about Hui Niang, Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable. After returning to the capital, he didn't even see Hui Niang. Thinking about Hui Niang deliberately avoiding him when he was in Tingzhou Prefecture, he called him "Mr. Shen", which made him understand that as he got older, the relationship between him and Hui Niang became more and more obvious.

I can never go back to my childhood. Hui Niang gently washed his feet and said thoughtful words at that time.
