Chapter 92 Things are not as simple as I thought

Author: Liu Xi Haoyue

Mrs. Ouyang burst into tears as she spoke, and added: "I am also spoiled, thinking that he is the youngest and has his father and brothers to take care of him, so I just want him to be happy in everything. Who would have thought that he would suddenly want to become an official?"

As an official, if his energy is insufficient, his stamina cannot keep up. A small county magistrate is acting like a coward. We parents in Tong County are far away and can’t help. We want to transfer him to the capital, but we can’t.

I didn’t use my best strength..."

Mrs. Ouyang's sobs became louder. Lin Xingwei looked at her mother, who also looked sad. She took Mrs. Ouyang's hand and asked: "My two nephews have been studying in Yanshan Academy for many years. It was not until this year that Tingyu

After being recommended, the second nephew still has no whereabouts. Zhi'ang is younger than the two of them and can be regarded as a county magistrate. If he can't be transferred to the capital, why don't my sister find a wife to go to Tong County?

Accompany him, or recruit some followers for him to go to Tong County to teach him?"

Mrs. Ouyang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and sighed: "This is the only way."

Lin Xingwei slowly stuffed two thin sticks of firewood into the small clay stove. She wanted to say: If possible, I will go to Tong County to accompany Zhi Ang.

People at that time were conservative in thinking. Even if an unmarried daughter-in-law could take care of her future daughter-in-law, she could never stay alone with her unmarried husband. Therefore, this idea flashed through Lin Xingwei's mind and he didn't think about it again.

.

Mrs. Hou winked at Mrs. He, who stood up and whispered to Lin Xingwei: "Princess, let's go make some snacks for the two ladies."

There are plenty of snacks in the kitchen, just ask someone to bring them to you.

Lin Xingwei understood in his heart that he wanted to say something that no one else should listen to and sent them out deliberately.

Lin Xingwei fed two more pieces of firewood into the stove, then stood up, bowed and quietly left.

He Fu followed Lin Xingwei into the boudoir, and the two sat opposite each other. Lin Xingwei's room was not as warm as her mother's room. She was young and wanted to exercise, so she removed the brazier after the New Year.

Lin Xingwei gave Mrs. He a hand stove. Seeing her hesitant expression, she urged: "If you have anything to say, ma'am, just say it."

Madam He sat forward, glanced at Lin Xingwei, and let out a long sigh, "Princess Madam Ouyang, why did you come to our house today?"

Don't they move around a lot? What's so strange about that? Lin Xingwei doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

"I'm here to ask for help!" The wrinkles on Mrs. He's face were filled with disgust, "Mrs. Ouyang has been asking for help for Mr. Zhi'ang these days, but she didn't get her wish. Today, she mentioned it to Mrs. Hou again. She must be asking for help.

Madam Hou went to ask Your Majesty the Queen to transfer Mr. Zhiang to the capital."

Lin Xing lowered his eyes slightly, "How could my mother be willing?"

"Old woman, I have been following Mrs. Hou for so many years, and I have never asked anyone for my affairs. The marriage between the princess and Mr. Zhi'ang has not been finalized for a long time. The rumors in the capital are bad, so the wife had no choice but to go to the palace to ask for help from His Majesty and the Queen.

I gave Mr. Zhi'ang the humble position of Prime Minister of Xiang County in exchange for the Cao family to host a betrothal banquet with the county master. This is the first time my wife has asked for help for the princess."

Mrs. He held the stove with both hands, looking sad, and said: "Now Mrs. Ouyang has come to ask for my wife again. If she refuses, she is afraid that the Cao family will cause trouble in the princess's marriage. If she agrees, she will owe others a favor."

"What can Mr. Cao and his wife do with all their efforts? Who can our wife, a widow, go to beg for help? She can only go to her mother's family for help." Mrs. He let out a long sigh.

Lin Xingwei felt guilty. She pursed her lips and said, "Even if my mother begs your Majesty and the Queen again this time, Your Majesty and the Queen will not agree. After all, Zhi'ang has only been in Tong County for half a year and has not made any achievements."

Mrs. He said: "Don't say that Mr. Zhi'ang has only been here for half a year, but there are only a handful of people who have spent their entire lives and want to be transferred to the capital or join the court. But if Mrs. Hou goes to ask, the queen will definitely agree. I know that the queen will definitely

I will agree, but Mrs. Hou is not willing to ask for it."

He added: "Our wife is marrying low, and the Nanyang Marquis Mansion is now an empty shell. If she owes her family a favor, what can she do to repay it? The reason why the princess can successfully cancel the engagement with General Wei is because

General Wei really went too far, and secondly, because our Marquis Mansion has never owed anything to His Majesty the Queen or the Taiwei Mansion, so they cannot threaten us."

Mrs. He knelt forward and took another step to hold the princess's hand. The cold and dry weather made Mrs. He's hand more painful. Mrs. He's eyes were filled with tears, "Mrs. Ouyang seems to be a sister to our wife, but we met

Things that are related to one's own interests can be used by each other. The madam is too strong, but she repeatedly bends down to ask for help for the princess, which makes the old woman feel distressed. The old woman said this to the princess, just to let the princess know something.

, If Mrs. Ouyang gets separated from our family because of Master Zhi’ang’s transfer, I’m afraid the marriage between the princess and Zhi’ang will also have changes.”

The corner of Lin Xingwei's mouth twitched, but he said nothing and didn't know what to say. Even if someone went to Tong County to teach Cao Yi how to do things in person, Mrs. Ouyang would not give up on this matter according to her temperament.

When Mrs. Ouyang left, there was no expression on her face, and I don't know what the two ladies said after Lin Xingwei left. Mrs. He followed Mrs. Hou to wait on her.

Lin Xingwei was lying on the stone table of the small pavilion in the backyard, blowing the cold wind, watching a few dead leaves on a big poplar tree in the distance swaying in the wind. Why was her marriage so unsatisfactory?

What if Mrs. Ouyang still wants her mother to go to the palace to plead for mercy? If her mother doesn't agree, will she and Cao Yi not be able to get married? She also wants to get married to Cao Yi but doesn't want to embarrass her mother.

Lin Tingyu came over and hit Lin Xingwei's forehead with a date, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Xingwei didn't even raise his eyelids, and muttered feebly: "Cousin, I will probably break off the engagement with the Cao family again."

Lin Tingyu laughed twice and sat on one side, "What do you think it is? I'm not surprised at all to break off the engagement with Cao Yi."

"Why?" Lin Xingwei finally raised his head, sat up straight and looked at Lin Tingyu, "My eldest cousin doesn't think much of Cao Yi either?"

Lin Tingyu was still a little confused, "Don't you know? Except for your grandparents, no one in our family thinks highly of you and Cao Yi. Except that Cao Yi has a better family background than you, how else can Cao Yi be worthy of you? When you and Cao Yi discussed marriage,

I was not at home at that time, otherwise I would be the first to stand up and object."

Lin Xingwei's face was even more dejected than before. She glanced sideways at him and said, "Just because you are biased against Zhi'ang doesn't mean that the whole family is biased against him. Zhi'ang is a very nice person."

Lin Tingyu did not shy away at all and insisted on piercing Lin Xingwei's heart with a knife. He said: "If I don't object, I don't want to ruin your good mood. When you and Wei Mingji broke off their engagement, the whole city was in an uproar. Who else would do it?"

Dare to propose marriage to you? It just so happens that Cao Yi proposes marriage to you at this time, and my eldest aunt has to catch Cao Yi tightly and marry you off as soon as possible."

Lin Xingwei looked at him with a dark face, "Am I that unbearable? Am I still afraid that I won't be able to get married? Mrs. Ouyang regards Zhi'ang as her precious child. If I am really so unbearable that I can't get married, will the Cao family still like me?"

Lin Tingyu curled his lips and said: "That's because Cao Yi is incompetent. It's just that Mrs. Ouyang protected Cao Yi too well and raised him so that he can't do anything. He can't study or practice martial arts. So there is no

Which family is willing to marry him? It turns out that his family likes you for your ability to run a household and the power of your eldest aunt’s natal family. You also like Cao Yi, who is soft-tempered and easier to handle than Wei Mingji. Don’t we hit it off right away!"

Lin Tingyu said again: "Don't glare at me. I have interacted with several adults in the court in the past few days and I know a lot about Cao Yi. Although there is a lot of water mixed in here, most of it should be true."

.”

"When Cao Yi first arrived in Tong County, he said that a big shot specially told Danyang County not to spread the word about Cao Yi's family background. Therefore, the Tong County magistrate did not know that Cao Yi was actually the son of Master Cao, and treated him harshly in every possible way.

.”

"Later, when you and Mrs. Ouyang went to Tongxian County, Cao Yi's background could no longer be concealed. No one dared to treat him harshly now, but he was regarded as a county magistrate in name only and was completely ignored. Tongxian County

In the name of letting Cao Yi recover from his injuries, Ling didn't let him do anything he was doing, and offered him up like a god."

"Originally, Cao Yi didn't agree to let Mrs. Ouyang transfer him. Now he doesn't agree. He also wants to come back. Ah, by the way, I heard that Cao Yi's place of exile has changed from Xiangxian County to Tongxian County.

Wei Mingji asked for the county in front of His Majesty? Why should he plead for Cao Yi? If he can get Cao Yi over, can he also get him back?"

Lin Xingwei had a dark look on his face, "My eldest cousin hasn't even taken office yet, and the news is so well-informed. These adults, too, have nothing to do after eating and drinking, and start talking about other people's shortcomings!"

Lin Tingyu was serious and looked like an elder, and said: "Ran Ran, don't be angry with me for saying this. Mrs. Ouyang asked everyone she could to transfer Cao Yi. How could others not know about his family?"

Something happened, and he saw me at the scene and knew that I was your cousin, so he deliberately told me."

"I guess Wei Mingji is willing to speak to Cao Yi for your sake. If you don't want to see Cao Yi live a useless life in Tong County, then go and ask Wei Mingji again and let him find a way to help, but you

We also need to think clearly, if a person who can't even handle local affairs is transferred to the capital, will it harm him or help him?"

Lin Xingwei's face was no longer dark, only pale as if she had been exposed to the cold. She looked at Tingyu lazily, and asked leisurely: "Why do you have to be an official? Since you can't do it, why don't you do it? You can do practical things for the people of the world.

Isn’t it okay to leave things to virtuous and capable people?”

Lin Tingyu flicked a chestnut on Lin Xingwei's forehead again, "How can a family like the Cao family tolerate mediocrity in their own children? Why do they want to find an official position?"

Lin Xingwei covered his head that was hurt by the bullet and said angrily: "My cousin Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years. Now that he has an official position, he can stand on a high platform and watch the suffering of others from a distance."
