The change was so fast that Lin Jinrong was caught off guard.
Back then, Lin Yuzhen first mentioned the marriage in a half-joking and half-serious manner at Lin Jinyin's wedding banquet; but now, nearly a month before Lin Jinyin's wedding banquet, something suddenly happened, and Lu
The old man and the old lady came forward in person, so they went directly to Mr. Lin.
Lin Jinrong pursed her lips tightly and stared at the window lattice without blinking. She was afraid that if she blinked, her tears would fall and she would never be able to stop them. Why? Why did she work so hard, even though she had already
She has seen the change, she has clearly seen the way out, there is only one step left, only one step left to completely change her life, how can someone decide her life, death and future with just one word? She doesn't accept it, she doesn't accept it!
A tear flowed down Lin Jinrong's cheek without warning and hung on her cheek. She raised her sleeves and wiped them hard, which made her skin hurt. Another tear flowed down from the other side, and she continued to grit her teeth.
Repeat the action just now.
One hand gently held her wrist, and gently wiped the tears from her face with the handkerchief. Lychee knelt beside Lin Jinrong distressedly, looked at her anxiously, and whispered: "Girl, don't do this, you
You have no grudge against yourself."
Of course she has no grudge against herself! Lin Jinrong suddenly turned back to look at Lychee, blinked slightly, and two big tears fell again. Before Lychee wiped her tears, she stood up and said, "I want to see you.
Old Master."
Before Li Zhi could speak, Aunt Gui was so shocked that she grabbed her sleeve: "Girl, you can't do it! Aren't the madam and the third girl already gone? You can wait until they come back to talk about it. We are not in a hurry at this moment.
.”
Lin Jinrong said nothing and walked out with red eyes. Aunt Gui held on to her sleeves and winked at Li Zhi, gesturing for Li Zhi to go over and help. At this girl's house, you should stay away when someone mentions your marriage.
He appears to be reserved and noble. How can he go to the elder to refute the elder and say that he doesn't like this family? Do you still want to be a good person after the news spreads?
Lin Jinrong was no match for Grandma Gui, so she couldn't help but shouted frantically: "Let go!" She grabbed her sleeves with both hands and tugged hard.
Aunt Gui blushed and sat down on the ground: "I won't let you go until I die! My wife has told the old slave to keep an eye on you and not allow you to go out."
Lychee ran over and grabbed Lin Jinrong's sleeve, whispering: "Girl, please listen to this slave's advice. Don't you know now? My wife and the third girl will go first. You wait patiently for them to come back. If nothing works, you can go again."
Isn’t it better? Don’t use up all your energy at once and leave no room for anything. Maybe there will be good results.”
Okay, she was not in a hurry. She waited a little longer to let her mood stabilize and relax a little before going. Lin Jinrong raised his eyes and looked at the white sky outside the window, took a long breath, and finally slowed down his movements: "Litchi
, get me some water to wash my face and comb my hair." Even if you are going to have a bitter argument with Mr. Lin, you still have to dress up neatly.
But Mrs. Tao hurried forward slowly, but she only saw the Lu family's carriage just driving out. When Old Mrs. Lin saw her, there was no unnecessary expression on her face, but Old Mrs. Lin said with a straight face: "What are you doing here?
?”
Mrs. Tao glanced at the servants standing around, not wanting Lin Jinrong's reputation to be damaged, so she had to hold back her impatience and apologized with a smile: "Dad, my wife has something to tell you and your mother-in-law."
Seeing that she was quite decent, Mr. Lin's expression softened slightly, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked in: "Go in and talk."
Qingli was about to go to help Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Tao hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand: "I'll do it."
Not only was this the first time, but it was also rare. Mrs. Lin glanced at Mr. Tao lightly, but did not refuse. Lin Jinyin silently stepped forward, and together with Mr. Tao, helped Mrs. Lin go in.
However, Old Mrs. Lin walked towards Tingtao House. Tao instinctively felt that something was wrong. At this time, Lin Shenzhi was reading and writing inside. Should he go in and argue about this matter in front of him? I will ask Old Mrs. Lin later.
But he raised his head and walked forward very fast with his hands behind his back. He couldn't catch up at all, so he had to whisper: "Mother-in-law, Xiao Lao Qi is studying inside. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to go to Anle Hall..."
Mrs. Lin glanced at her sideways, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lin Jinyin felt that it was most appropriate for Mr. Lin to choose Tingtaoju to handle Lin Jinrong's matter. Tingtaoju was not like Anletang where there were so many idle people waiting, and there were not so many eyes staring at what was said inside.
Naturally, it was impossible to spread the word casually. At that moment, he gently tugged on Tao's sleeve to signal her not to talk too much.
Mrs. Tao hesitated to speak, but finally held back and followed Mrs. Lin quietly into Tingtao Residence. Lin Shenzhi was sitting at the desk by the window writing, when he heard the sound and turned around to look, he couldn't help but smile.
, but instead of jumping off the stool, he first put down the pen and ink, pressed the paper, and then stood up and walked over to salute and say hello: "Grandpa, grandmother, mother, and third sister, why are you here together? It's so rare."
When Mr. Lin saw him, the corners of his drooping lips turned up, revealing a gentle smile. He stroked the top of his head and said softly: "Are you cold?"
Lin Shenzhi shook his head: "It's not cold, the brazier is roaring." A pair of black and white eyes curiously moved from one body to another. He wanted to lean on Mrs. Tao, but didn't dare, so he moved closer to Mrs. Lin and laughed softly.
Said: "Grandma."
Mrs. Lin took his hand, covered it in her arms, and whispered: "My little hands are very cold. Remember to rub them more to avoid getting frostbite."
Old Mrs. Lin didn't care about him. He walked to the table and read what he had written. He picked out the mistakes and pointed them out. Fang stroked his beard and said, "I'll let you go to school early today and let Maizi take you to eat some pastries you like."
.”
Lin Shenzhi did not dare to disobey, so he bowed and left. He looked at Mr. Tao and Lin Jinyin and smiled before letting Maizi lead them away.
Old Mrs. Lin then sat behind the rosewood desk and said calmly: "Third wife, what do you want to tell me?"
Mrs. Tao first helped the old lady Lin to sit firmly on the six-sided round pillar with Ruyi pattern on the side. Fang stood up with his hands tied and said politely: "Father, my daughter-in-law just heard a rumor that it was the Lu family who asked A for Lu's silence."
Is it possible to propose marriage?"
Old Mrs. Lin did not answer her question first, but said coldly to Lin Jinyin: "Ayin, you go out first."
How dare Lin Jinyin let Mrs. Tao face the two of them alone? She was looking for an excuse to stay, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Lin shouted loudly: "Get out!"
Although Mrs. Lin is fierce on weekdays, but that is when he is in front of his son and grandson. He is good at cultivating Qi with the female relatives. Most of the time, he is just indifferent and indifferent. This is the first time for Mrs. Lin and Tao to be so fierce.
Everyone was shocked. Lin Jinyin was ashamed and embarrassed, her face flushed with anger, tears welling up in her eyes. She bowed stiffly, turned around and walked out quickly, but she didn't go anywhere else.
They stood guard outside the door, hoping that Mrs. Tao would remember their previous agreement to come.
Old Mrs. Lin calmed down and asked Mrs. Tao again: "So what? But do you have any objections?"
She asked two questions in succession. It’s not that Mrs. Tao didn’t understand that Mrs. Lin was unhappy at the moment, and it’s not that she didn’t know who Mrs. Lin was angry at Lin Jinyin for. However, when the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, how could she let her beloved go through that?
Painful? She gritted her teeth and knelt down to Old Mrs. Lin: "This is inappropriate. Please take back my father-in-law."
Old Mrs. Lin looked at her head coldly without saying a word, but Old Mrs. Lin spoke up: "Please tell me what is wrong."
When Mrs. Tao heard this, she hurriedly said: "These two children have different temperaments. You also know Ah Rong's temperament. He doesn't talk much on weekdays. He accepts death, loves to get into trouble, is stupid, and is stubborn...
"At this point, I really couldn't find fault with my daughter, so I paused and said instead: "In short, she is just ignorant, otherwise she wouldn't have done something like the stove party to offend her aunt.
I was unhappy and embarrassed my cousin... We didn't get close to each other after that. The aunt and nephew were at odds, and maybe even the aunt and sister-in-law were at odds with each other. How could this marriage be any better? When I thought about it, I felt panicked. She was still suitable for a family with a simple population.
"
"Cough!" Old Mrs. Lin coughed lightly, "Master..."
Old Mrs. Lin gently waved his hand to stop Mrs. Lin from talking, and asked Mrs. Tao coldly: "Let me ask you, did you fight for this marriage?"
Mrs. Tao was surprised and said: "How is that possible? My daughter-in-law and my aunt have never gotten along very well. You and your mother-in-law know that."
Except for her, no one could openly talk about the fact that she and her sister-in-law didn't get along well. The coldness in Old Mrs. Lin's eyes finally diminished: "Get up and talk about it."
Mrs. Tao raised her head and prayed: "Dad, what about this matter?"
Old Mrs. Lin's face turned cold: "If you don't want to get up, you can just keep kneeling on the ground."
Is this an agreement or not? Mrs. Tao was a little at a loss, and finally chose to stand up and speak: "Dad, my wife thinks this matter should be discussed in the long run. I always thought it was Ah Zhu, but suddenly she became Ah Rong.
There have been a lot of misunderstandings between the sisters, and more than one person has been wronged. This is really not good..."
"Who told you it was Ah Zhu? Who said it? Who did you hear mention it?" Old Mrs. Lin interrupted Mrs. Tao sharply: "A Rong told you that she refused? A Rong told you that she and Lu Mian can't get along.
?They got along?"
Mrs. Tao wanted to protect Lin Jinrong, so she quickly said: "No, no, Ah Rong has always followed the rules."
But I heard Mrs. Lin say a series of things: "If not, then how do you know whether they are compatible or not? What nonsense are you talking about? Don't mention anything like Azhu again in the future! If I hear even half of a word about Azhu,
None of you can escape!"
Mrs. Tao suddenly felt that her throat was severely blocked, and all the hair and sweat on her body was sweating out. She hurriedly went to Mrs. Lin and begged: "Mother-in-law, please advise my father-in-law, this is really inappropriate..."
Old Mrs. Lin looked at Old Mrs. Lin anxiously: "How about we discuss it in the long term?" She didn't know what exactly what Mr. Lu and Mr. Lin said in the garden, but she knew that after returning from the garden, Old Mrs. Lin's attitude changed.
There has been a change and he expressed his agreement to the marriage.
