When Lin Wu got out of the car, his eyes were turned into walnuts from crying. Zhou frowned. Lin Qi ran forward and pulled Lin Wu to look at her. She smiled and said, "Oh, what's wrong with Fifth Sister? Why are you so sad?"
?It smells like alcohol, are you drunk?"
Zhou was furious, Lin Wu was extremely depressed and fragile, and couldn't help crying again. Lin Jinyin smiled at the right time and said: "Fifth sister's eyes are not feeling well, eldest aunt, please take her back to have a look."
Zhou took advantage of the situation and pulled Lin Wu away and went inside first.
Lin Qi and Lin Liu looked at each other with joy and pride on their faces.
At night, after Mrs. Tao finished washing and combing her hair in front of the mirror, Mother Gong whispered: "Madam, today I heard the eldest lady talking about the marriage of our four girls. I have an idea. I wonder if madam is willing to listen to it?
"
Mrs. Tao glanced at Gong's mother and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, but I don't think it is possible."
Gong's mother hurriedly said: "How is it impossible? There is a relationship between my uncle and my wife. The two families are of the same family and are family friends. Our four girls are both talented and beautiful, smart and capable. I dare not say that we are the first among the girls of the same age in Pingzhou."
One, there will be no less than the top three. The old slave seems to have some thoughts when he looks at my wife. If she doesn't take action earlier, I'm afraid she will regret it."
"You think I haven't thought about it?" Mrs. Tao sighed: "The family backgrounds of Lin and Wu are matched, but Wu Xiang is different. He is not young, and has never heard his family mention his marriage.
My uncle and wife have said that they may have lofty ambitions and want to keep those who will climb high in Beijing after being named on the gold list. Unless the Wu family speaks for themselves, let's not humiliate ourselves."
"It's such a pity." Gong's mother was quite regretful. In addition to money, marriage nowadays places more emphasis on choosing a son-in-law than a scholar. It is true that after ten years of hard work, no one cares about it. Once you become famous, countless dignitaries think that their daughter can marry them.
Jinshi is proud of it, so he does not hesitate to seduce and intimidate, and staged a show to catch his son-in-law. With Wu Xiang's talent and appearance, he did not worry about finding a good marriage when he was named on the gold medal list.
The declining Lin family is not a good choice.
Mrs. Tao went to bed and lay down: "There are many good families. That day Ayin told me that my daughter was too independent and she had to find a generous family to accommodate her. She was still young, so she took her time and visited her slowly.
stop."
"That's true." Mother Gong chuckled: "This person is very self-aware. My aunt doesn't know and thinks she's great. I'm just waiting to see her touch her nose."
Mrs. Tao also laughed happily: "I'll wait and see too. Look at how crazy she is. She looks like I'm the best in the world. It's really unbearable."
Lin Jinrong didn't know about this conversation. She was calmly analyzing the development of the situation. Since Lin Yuzhen and Luo Shi had formed a tacit understanding, as long as nothing unexpected happened and the situation continued like this, she would be safe. Although she was safe for the time being, she was still safe.
You can't be idle, you have to continue planning what you need to plan.
In her previous life, at least before her death, Wu Xiang had never made an engagement with anyone, not even after passing the Jinshi examination. She didn't know the specific reason for this, but in her impression, Wu Xiang
It's very good, and he treats her well, and the Yang family is quite generous. The most important thing is that the Wu family's attitude towards doing business and making money in private is similar to that of the Tao family.
She did a lot of business, and now she has significantly higher financial and material resources than the Lin family. If she could get into the Wu family, she would have an easier life.
Compared to a marriage where you don't even know who the other person is, what their family background and character are, this marriage in the Wu family is still worth fighting for. Even if she and Wu Xiang can't get together in the end like they did in their previous life, she should still
Try it. If you try it, it won’t work. You will regret it if you don’t try it.
Lin Jinrong looked at the moonlight outside the window, feeling extremely calm. She knew what she wanted and what she should fight for. The word love is too illusory. Not everyone has that good luck, so it is better to stay in prison
Hold on to what you can hold, be kind to yourself, and live well will be more practical.
In the west of Pingzhou City, there is a deep alley, with ten-foot-high blue brick walls on both sides. The top of the wall is covered with greenery. Walk along the alley to the end, which is the gate of the Wu family. On weekdays, this alley is always quiet, except
Except for the servants and disciples of the Wu family, there were basically no people coming and going. But this day was unprecedentedly lively, and it would be no exaggeration to say that there was a lot of traffic - Jie Yuan of Taiming Mansion came out of Pingzhou, which made the people of Pingzhou
Everyone is honored. Anyone who has an old relationship with the Wu family and can reach it will come to celebrate.
Compared with Lin Yuzhen's madness yesterday, Yang's attitude seemed very calm, happy but not arrogant, humble but not excessive. Tao liked Yang's attitude very much, and whispered to Lin Jinrong: "Did you see this?
This is the kind of cultivation that a true scholarly family should have. Look at your aunt's madness, it's really disgusting."
Lin Jinrong did not completely agree: "My aunt was ecstatic because she had too much hope earlier, and she also wanted to tell others that her second cousin's success was inseparable from her hard work in raising her. She had to be happier than Mrs. Lu San; Aunt Wu
It's different. Brother Wu has been famous since he was a child, and he has the reputation of being the number one child prodigy in Pingzhou. It's normal to pass the exam, but it's rare to fail, so she can't be too happy."
Mrs. Tao gave Lin Jinrong a strange look, thought about it carefully, and realized that it was indeed the case. Then she happily clapped her hand and whispered: "You girl has really grown up to think of this.
"
When Lin Jinrong said these words, he didn't realize there was any difference. When he thought about it carefully, he found that he had become deep and transparent without knowing it. He couldn't help but chuckle and drank happily.
He took the pot and poured a glass of lychee wine for himself and Mrs. Tao: "It's a pity that the third sister can't go out with us today, otherwise she loves this wine the most." She also couldn't be a guest that year.
Lychee wine is expensive, and it is rare for the Lin family to drink it on weekdays. When Mrs. Tao heard her daughter's words, she felt a little ashamed and distressed. After thinking about it, she comforted herself and said, "Don't be afraid. When your sister gets married and goes to Qingzhou, I can drink as much as I want."
He was really good at comforting himself. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but laugh: "Yes."
Tao's eyes glanced at Lin Yuzhen, who was holding Lu Yun's hand tightly and chatting endlessly with Yang, her eyebrows flying in the distance, so she put the lychee wine behind her, curled her lips towards Gong's mother, and whispered
: "Do you think she will speak today?"
Gong's mother shook her head: "No. After all, she is the daughter of a scholarly family and the wife of an official. She has seen the world, how can she be so rash? My wife wants to go to the theater today, but she can't do it."
Tao smiled: "Sooner or later, I'll wait."
Over there, Lu Yun noticed Mrs. Tao and others, took off Lin Yuzhen's hand, walked over with a smile, greeted everyone, sat down next to Lin Jinrong, and whispered: "Fourth sister, have you ever met Wu Er?"
Brother?"
Lin Jinrong was startled, then shook his head: "No. I got off the car at the second gate and went directly into the inner courtyard. How could I see him?"
Lu Yun said: "That's a pity. Before my brother went to Taiming Mansion, he went to my house and asked you, saying that he wanted to compete with you in playing xun. I thought he would compete with you after seeing you today.
Well, now it seems that I have lost my hearing."
She had met Lu Yun several times before, but she had never heard her mention this matter, but today she remembered it. Lin Jinrong smiled lightly and said politely: "It's rare for cousin Yun to be so stupid. Wu
The second brother was in front greeting the guests and didn't even have time to salute and greet him, so how could he have the leisure to come over and compete with me in playing the xun?"
"Ha..." Lu Yun smiled awkwardly, remained silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows at Lin Jinrong and said: "I have also learned to play the xun, but I am not good at it. I will ask Fourth Sister for advice someday."
"It's easy to say." Lin Jinrong replied and ignored her. He buried his head and poured himself another glass of lychee wine.
Over there, Lin Yuzhen finally finished talking to Ms. Yang, and was pulled over by a group of women to congratulate her. Ms. Tao looked at her and went up to offer her wine to Ms. Yang. After congratulating her, she expressed that she was going to Qingzhou, and politely asked Wu
How is the arrangement at home? If there are things or people they need to go to, she can help them take them there.
Yang was extremely happy when he heard this: "That's great! Just in time, I asked you to look after Wu Xiang for me. I'm worried." Originally, the Wu family sent their eldest son to celebrate Wu's birthday, but Wu Xiang said that he
He had just passed the big exam and it was too hard, so why not leave this errand to him so that he could relax and gain some knowledge. He had always been favored, so this request was not too much. How could his elder brother compete with him?
But Qingzhou is not like Pingzhou. It is close to Da Rong, the folk customs are fierce, and the people of all colors are complex. Wu Xiang is a peaceful and calm person on the surface, but in fact he is wild and unruly. Yang is worried that the old steward who is accompanying him cannot suppress Wu Xiang's temper.
It would be great if Mrs. Tao is willing to help transport people there at this moment.
When Mrs. Tao had such an opportunity to repay the favor, she took it very seriously and promised that she would take good care of Wu Xiang for Mrs. Yang and not let him lose a hair. Mrs. Yang had to pull her and talk passionately for a while,
After asking about Lin Jinyin's situation and complimenting Lin Jinrong once more, the two parties agreed on a departure date before leaving.
During this process, Lin Yuzhen looked back frequently. Tao was a careless person. Since he thought he could see through her mind, he had to show it to her on purpose. He greeted her with a proud look on his face and returned to his seat to sit down with her.
Lin Jinrong said: "Pack your things when you get back and leave the day after tomorrow."
When Lin Jinrong saw her talking and laughing with Mr. Yang, he knew that someone from the Wu family must be going, so he casually said, "Who is going?"
Mrs. Tao glanced at Lu Yun: "Brother Wu, go. Your aunt Wu just asked me to take good care of him for her and not let him run around."
Lu Yun quickly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Tao: "Third Aunt, where are you going?"
Mrs. Tao smiled maliciously: "We are going to Qingzhou to celebrate the birthday of your fourth sister's aunt, your second brother Angkor's aunt."
Lu Yun glanced at Lin Jinrong silently and quickly lowered his eyes.
