Chapter 291: The Temptation of the Mandarin Ducks

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Wang Tingxuan could feel that Lin Ruhai's attitude towards him was a little more affectionate.

In fact, the relationship between him and Lin Ruhai was not bad. But in the past, Lin Ruhai's attitude had a hint of flattery.

Maybe it's because I want something.

Now, Lin Ruhai quickly changed his attitude, leaving Wang Tingxuan a bit at a loss.

After thinking about it, the marriage with the Lin family is basically a certainty.

And Wang Tingxuan himself had no objection.

In fact, Wang Tingxuan did not dare to take risks.

If he refuses to marry the Lin family, who knows what the Supreme Emperor will do.

It would be disgusting if the Supreme Emperor really couldn't bear the pleadings of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs and arranged a marriage for him who was born of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs.

The Jia family's eating habits are not good-looking, and the eating habits of the other four bastards are not much different, but they only eat in different ways.

Before he became a marquis, the four princes and eight princes wanted him to join him and act superior. What they wanted was not a collaborator, but an obedient subordinate or even a slave.

Even if he is granted the title of Marquis now, the attitude of the Four Princes and Eight Princes towards him will not change. In addition to his origin, it is also because the Four Princes and Eight Princes have no real successors.

They will not willingly hand over the power in their hands for the sake of family inheritance. Wang Tingxuan is just a tool for them to continue the family inheritance. Not only will he not gain their trust, he will also be on their guard at all times.

Wang Tingxuan is also really afraid of accidents.

Now he needs to express his attitude to the Lin family, so that Lin Ruhai can take the lead in going to the Supreme Emperor to intercede.

Wang Tingxuan thought for a while and took out a set of jewelry from his own space. This set of jewelry is a craft of later generations and does not exist in this era.

At that time, when the national style revived, Wang Tingxuan had several sets of antique jewelry made.

The reason why he didn't come forward was because there were many people outside watching him. If those people noticed something, something might happen.

Butler Lin brought the things to Lin Ruhai and said, "Sir, Mr. Wang has sent some food and a box."

Lin Ruhai was also waiting for Wang Tingxuan's statement. He took the box, looked at it, laughed, and said, "Send these things to Miss."

The jewelry is clearly for the daughter's family, which means that Wang Tingxuan agreed to the marriage.

Lin Ruhai didn't care about the value of things at all. What he cared about was the meaning of these things: "In this case, I feel relieved. It's time to find a time to go to the Supreme Emperor to plead for mercy."

"Miss, the master asked the slave to deliver this." Nanny Lin took the things to Lin Daiyu's yard.

Xue Yan took the things and opened the box after getting Lin Daiyu's permission: "Wow, it's so beautiful."

This caused the other maids to stretch their heads and look here.

Lin Daiyu naturally saw what was in the box. After seeing that it was jewelry, she asked: "Mother Lin. Why did dad suddenly give me this thing?"

In fact, Grandma Lin didn't know why her husband suddenly sent her husband's belongings to the young lady. She said truthfully: "This is from the prince, and I gave it to the young lady directly."

Lin Daiyu's face turned red instantly. Of course she understood what this thing meant. Her originally anxious heart became calmer.

After spending such a long time in diplomacy, Lin Daiyu deeply realized the power of the rule that the eldest daughter who lost her mother should not marry her.

It’s not like no one has ever told Princess Zhongshun that they wanted to marry her, but Princess Zhongshun dismissed them all.

The families who wanted to marry her were good families, but the candidates who wanted to marry her were really not that good.

These were all what Princess Zhaojing said in her ears. Although she was shy and unwilling to listen, she still remembered them in her heart.

Wang Tingxuan is now a prominent figure in the capital, and Lin Daiyu doesn't know if he will agree to this marriage.

This set of jewelry finally reassured her.

Lin Daiyu endured her shyness and said to Aunt Lin, "Thank you, Auntie. I understand what Daddy means."

After Nanny Lin went down, Xue Yan asked curiously: "Miss, why did the master give you this?"

The blush that had just gone off Lin Daiyu's face rose again, and she said to Xue Yan: "I want to sit by myself, you can go down."

Seeing Lin Daiyu's serious attitude, Xue Yan did not dare to say anything.

Lin Daiyu sat in the room by herself, deep in thought.

Mother Jia was afraid that Wang Xifeng would not come because she was ill, so she sent Yuanyang to invite her in person.

Seeing Yuanyang, Ping'er asked with a smile: "Why does Sister Yuanyang have time to come here?"

Yuanyang didn't know what the trouble was with Second Grandma Lian, and asked: "The old lady asked me to come over and see Second Grandma. If Second Grandma is in good health, I would like to invite Second Grandma to come over."

Ping'er said with a smile: "Our grandma took the medicine and was asleep. She hasn't woken up yet."

Yuanyang is here to invite people, not to offend them. Even if the old lady is anxious, she won't miss it for a while. Simply get some information from Ping'er first.

"Why did the second grandma suddenly stop caring about the house? Without the second grandma, the old lady will not be able to eat well and sleep well. Do you know why?"

Ping'er also felt that Wang Xifeng was abnormal, but found nothing at all. He said: "Our grandma's health is indeed not good. The doctor often treats Mrs. Wang's wife and is trustworthy. He said that if our grandma does not take good care of her health, she will

Not only will it harm the heirs, it will also hinder your lifespan."

Yuanyang didn't believe Ping'er's words at all. No one in the whole mansion knew that Wang Xifeng liked to wield power the most, so how could he be willing to let go of the steward's power?

Immediately, I thought of the current situation in the house, and I also had speculations in my mind.

Nowadays, the government is so stretched that it cannot meet the needs of the people, and the servants cannot even pay their monthly salary.

Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would not be so anxious to discuss it with the old lady.

Jia Lian and his wife are people who are unwilling to let go of the money in the frying pan. If it weren't because there was no other way, how could they be willing to let go of these rights.

Yuanyang asked tentatively: "What about the furnishings in Second Grandma's house? Why have they been changed so much?"

Ping'er didn't understand, so he just told Yuanyang what Wang Xifeng said: "Don't you know yet? Our grandma wants to be strong, so why are we willing to let others gossip? All those things were temporarily mortgaged in exchange for some money. If you still

I remember how good our grandma is, so I try to mention it to the old lady. After all, our grandma is young and not as well-informed as the old lady."

Yuanyang stopped asking, it must have been the money.

Just now, Mrs. Wang secretly complained to the old lady, saying that the cost of a big house was too high, and she wanted to save more first.

Although the old lady prefers a second bedroom, she won't let anyone say it openly, so she asked for the account book to look at it. She couldn't remember the expenses clearly, but she knew that the cost of a larger apartment was much less than that of a second apartment.

Already.

The old lady may not have noticed it, but what can she do? If the second master wants to run for office, he can't be so old and have to be tortured in the yamen all day long.

The empress in the palace was also short of money, so she would send a young eunuch here every three or five days. Every time she was slow to give money, she would lose face.

Baoyu can't save anything. The best things in the house must be used by him. If things are out of date, Baoyu won't be used to them.

As for Mrs. Wang, she has the key to the warehouse, so who can know her expenses.

The eldest man is the only one in the big house who bought some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Is it possible to save the eldest man’s expense?
