On this day, Lin Zhixiu was exhausted after finally sending Li Cheng away.
He went back to his room, lay down on the couch, and scolded him secretly.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Li came with Li Feng, and An Jianfu came with his entire family. An Jianfu's family had a newborn granddaughter named Xiao Dou'er. Lin Zhixiu liked her very much and had already prepared a gold collar.
, when he saw her, he would tease her like "Little Dou'er, Xiao Dou'er".
Ren Baihui was about to have a baby, so she also liked this little doll very much, especially Xiao Dou'er, with her red fleshy cheeks and bright black eyes, which looked strong. She quickly asked people around her to bring out a set of jewelry as a gift to Xiao Dou'er.
When my son's mother saw it, her eyes lit up. This set of jewelry was enough for this silly girl's dowry!
In the past two days, Mrs. Li made a pair of tiger-head shoes for Ren Baihui's unborn child. Ren Baihui looked fresh, and everyone talked and laughed. It was very lively.
While I was laughing happily, someone came from the front to report that King Cheng is a thousand years old...here he is again!
As soon as Lin Zhixiu saw him... her head bulged!
Li Feng, An Ning, and An Jianfu quickly went up to salute.
Li Cheng also changed his clothes and looked handsome and expensive. When he spoke, he stood blankly and laughed, "There are a lot of people here today. It's lively! Hey, Li Feng... why are you here too?"
Li Feng said, "My subordinate lives in front, and it is a house rented by Mr. An. The Li family and the An family are very close. You know that!"
Li Cheng stared at him unhappily for a while, then immediately made a move and pulled him aside, "I tell you Li Feng, you are not allowed to have any ideas about my Axiu! If you dare to look at her one more time, I will break your legs."
!”
Li Feng was startled and looked at Li Cheng carefully.
Li Cheng said sharply, "What are you looking at?! Did you hear what I said?"
Li Feng said, "I heard it! I heard it! But... My lord, if you have any ideas, you have to tell the emperor. You can't be the master of this yourself, right?"
Li Cheng said, "I will tell you that this is my business, so don't worry about it!"
Li Feng said, "I'm not worried about you. Zhixiu is from a girl's family. It's not good for her reputation if you follow her without knowing anything!"
"I want you to take care of it!? You don't need to tell me what to do with her! Just be honest..."
Lin Zhixiu came up, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and said to Li Cheng, "Why are you here again?"
Li Cheng felt uncomfortable and said, "Why can't I come?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "We have a lot to do today and don't have time to entertain you."
Li Cheng glared at her, "You should do whatever you want, and I won't stop you."
Lin Zhixiu felt deeply powerless, this dog-skin plaster...
Too lazy to pay attention to him, he called An Jianfu and his son to talk.
An Ning and Lin Zhixiu gave the family high recognition. Even his two sons were well rewarded and distributed heavy bonuses.
An Jianfu's family was all in high spirits.
Lin Zhixiu remembered something, "Uncle Fu, I see, my mother's shop is about to expire after the Chinese New Year. This time, we are here to review the contract. You and your two brothers are looking for rent prices in the market.
Then ask the tenants what they want. If everything goes well, there is no need to evict them. But if things don’t go well, you can take them back and rent them again. You can also leave a room for me to open a pharmacy!"
Li Chenggong sat next to him, listening with interest, and interrupted, "Bai Qicai is waiting at the concierge, let him in?!"
Lin Zhixiu "..."
She hated herself very much. Why did she tell him about the drug store yesterday?
Li Cheng said, "I'll leave him to you! Let Uncle Dong and Uncle An do it together. Don't be so tired. Why do you care about this? It's not a lack of money."
An Ning and An Jianfu's family listened to his speech respectfully...
He talked enthusiastically and talked for a long time.
After the discussion was over, everyone had a meal. Li Chengzhen was able to blend in very well. He and Li Feng were eating, drinking and chatting, and they were very happy.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhixiu was going to Liu's house. Li Cheng was unhappy and pouted. He followed the car on horseback and sent her to the door of Liu's house. He explained a few more words across the car, but Lin Zhixiu sat inside without saying a word.
Finally, he reluctantly left.
Liu Jing saw her and kept blaming her for why she was so rare recently, and showed her the spring clothes she was going to make.
Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, pulled her to ask about her aunt, and was very proud of the matchmaker she had secured. She said implicitly that if Ren Baihui had another son, her good reputation would be lost.
Lin Zhixiu is the beneficiary, of course he is very sure, and he is full of flattery.
Mrs. Liu was happy to hear this and sent Liu Jing away. She whispered, "Auntie, I'm already showing Liu Jing some children. There are a few of them that I like. Do you want Auntie to ask the Lin family? You...the Lin family is...
What do you think?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "There is an older sister at home, so she is the one in front! So, I'm not in a hurry!"
Although she said this, she didn't know why, but she felt a little guilty, and the shadows of Zhu Tou and Qi Erlang appeared in front of her eyes...
Mrs. Liu said, "Is this something you are not anxious about? By then, all the good ones will be snatched up..."
Lin Zhixiu didn't dare to say anything more, so she just chatted with Mrs. Liu, "Aunt Liu, you are in high spirits. It seems that being a matchmaker can really lift your spirits!"
Mrs. Liu laughed heartily.
——When Yan Jun returned home from the Lin family, he handed the news to the palace.
Not long after, the Concubine Xian sent someone over. The female official was dignified, polite, and gentle in attitude.
She said to Yan Houye and Yan Jun, "The queen said that the prince took a concubine a few years ago, and she was busy with palace affairs and did not have time to prepare gifts. Now I give Aunt Zhong two pieces of brocade and a set of jewelry. I hope she will give birth to a concubine for the prince as soon as possible."
Loose leaves.”
The maid next to her was holding two pieces of fine material and a set of exquisite jewelry.
Yan Jun thanked him and asked him to put it away.
The female officer added, "My queen also said that for so many years, the prince has been in charge of the affairs of the Yan family. If the marquis intends to give the throne to the prince in advance, then at the beginning of the new year, please submit a request to the emperor to establish a prince.
, can be postponed..."
The Yan family's father and son listened without saying anything.
"The last one, the empress said that the Crown Prince's wife was in poor health, which affected her mood, and some of the words she said did not come from her heart. The Yan family is busy with family affairs, and if the madam continues to take care of it, it will inevitably affect the treatment. The empress will arrange for the imperial doctor to come, so that
Mrs. Shizi will take care of herself quietly! When she is well, she will come out to take care of the house. Mrs. Hou is getting older and if she feels tired, I feel that Mrs. Yan Si is diligent, capable and has a far-sighted vision, so she can assist Mrs. Hou in running the house!"
After hearing this, Marquis Yan and Prince Yan only said, "Thank you for your teachings." After sending the female official away, the father and son looked at each other, thinking that the empress... gave up on this mother.
Although Yan Jun felt that Yan Yun had done the right thing, he was still a little sad. Lin Jiangwan had always been kind to this daughter from the bottom of his heart...
This is probably what happens in the world...
————As soon as Lin Zhixiu returned home early in the morning, Nanny Song hurriedly told these things.
Lin Zhixiu changed her clothes and shoes and sat there, listening happily, "It's the New Year after all! There's so much good news. She lives in Wutong Courtyard?"
Grandma Song said, "Yes. This time, I was really sick. I fell and hit my head. If it hadn't been for the carpet... it would have been broken!"
Lin Zhixiu asked, "Is anyone going to see her?"
Mother Song said, "The old lady, the third wife, and Miss He Zhirong have all gone to see it, and the old lady and the eldest gentleman have also been there. The sixth gentleman has gone more often."
Lin Zhixiu wondered, "Ah? Uncle Six? Why did he go?"
Aunt Song also laughed, "I heard that Master Six is very angry with Prince Yan. He supports my aunt's divorce!"
"Ah?! My sixth uncle, where is this fun?"
After being stunned for a while, she felt very emotional: If she wanted to divorce, her grandparents would not agree to it, and her uncle would not agree either. The third uncle would not care. On the contrary, the sixth uncle, who was usually aloof and clean, was quite a bit jealous of Lin Jiangwan.
The attitude of coming forward!
Haha, it’s a pity that no one paid attention to his ideas!
Well, just for this reason, I will not let my sixth uncle suffer the hardships of the previous life again... When Bai Qicai and Yuan Jing prepare the things, it will depend on Qi Erlang's ability...
She thought for a while and said with a smile, "Mother Song, what kind of soup do you have today? Pour a portion and I'll go visit the patient!"
Aunt Song: "Yes, girl, wait a moment!"
After filling a cup of soup and putting it in a small basket, Dongyun carried Lin Zhixiu to Wutong Courtyard.
Lin Jiangwan's eldest girl was in the yard with a solemn face. When she saw Lin Zhixiu coming, she walked up lightly and said, "Three girls!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "I just came back. I heard that my aunt is not feeling well! I came here specially to have a look. I didn't know if it was inconvenient for my aunt. Oh, I also brought some soup."
Xiang Ling smiled and said, "Three girls, please wait a moment, and my servant will go in and ask."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Thank you!"
When Xiang Ling came in and said something, Lin Jiangwan smiled sarcastically, "She's here, let her in!" How could she miss the opportunity to laugh at me?
Lin Zhixiu came in and saluted softly, "Auntie!"
Lin Jiangwan looked at her indifferently. This girl is so beautiful! Just like her younger self. At that time, had she ever thought about having the experience she has now?
She said calmly, "It's Xiu'er! She came to see her aunt as soon as she got home... Ha, it seems she really cares about her!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "As soon as Zhixiu came home, I heard that my aunt was slightly ill, so she wanted to come and see her. I boiled soup in the house and sent a portion to my aunt! Are you feeling better?"
Lin Jiangwan said, "Oh... I misunderstood? I thought you were here to see my joke."
Lin Zhixiu smiled calmly and said, "My aunt is joking... In fact, everyone has something they want to stick to! Wasn't it the same for Zhixiu at the beginning? Why would you want to make fun of your aunt?"
Lin Jiangwan said, "Oh, Lin Zhixiu, our aunt and nephew made an ugly scene because of a set of wheat hairpins! Don't you hate me?"
Lin Zhixiu said softly, "It's not about hating or not. As I said before, what my mother left me is what I want to hold on to. You care about it because you want to pursue what you want. I will hold on to it."
It’s over, there’s nothing to be proud of, and I can’t describe Erlin in one stroke. If I can’t defend it, there’s nothing to complain about. After all, my skills are inferior to others, and my strength is inferior to others.”
Lin Jiangwan laughed out loud, "My skills are inferior to others... I am inferior to others in strength. Now, I am inferior to others in everything... Even your grandmother thinks I am being unreasonable."
At this moment, she put down her face...
Lin Zhixiu said, "Actually, among the Lin family, the one who understands you best is Zhixiu."
Lin Jiangwan looked at her.
Lin Zhixiu said, "My mother had difficulty giving birth to me because she had had a miscarriage before. Later, my father told his mother that he was not willing to let her take risks, so he did not want her to give him a son.
Already."
Lin Jiangwan snorted softly.
Lin Zhixiu said, "You might say, he has Lin Feng?! But aunt, I am only telling you this. Father, I never thought that Lin Feng was his son."
Lin Jiangwan was surprised when she said this.
Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Although my father is very good to Lin Feng. He cares about his life, personally enlightens him, and provides Lin Feng with a family fortune. However, my father may only regard him as a nephew... rather than a son. My father's
The descendants are only me!"
Lin Jiangwan didn't quite understand.
Lin Zhixiu said, "I think what my father means is that as long as the husband and wife love each other, sons are not the key issue!"
Lin Jiangwan smiled coldly, "What do you know!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Maybe I don't understand!"
The two sat quietly for a while.
Lin Zhixiu said, "My mother once told me that she was very uncomfortable when she was pregnant with me. But my father fell off the dam, broke his leg, and his face was so swollen that he could not see clearly. At that time, my mother was almost alive.
I can’t go down anymore…I’m afraid that if I don’t survive, they will die…”
Lin Jiangwan felt uncomfortable thinking about that serious, unsmiling brother...
Lin Zhixiu looked at her, "At that time, if I could have received greetings and care from my relatives... Aunt, I didn't give you the gold hairpin, and you were angry and resentful. But have you ever thought about why I should give it to you?"
!?"
She just said it...
Lin Jiangwan almost thought she had heard wrong, but then thought about it again and smiled, "Haha, do you resent me?!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "No resentment, no hatred, no joy, no love! I came to see you today just to end this aunt-nephew relationship. When you were good, Zhixiu didn't flatter you. When you were unhappy, Zhixiu didn't either.
Can read jokes."
It's over between us.
She stood up, bowed lightly, and left.
At noon, Yan Jun came to pick up Lin Jiangwan. He conveyed the mother's wishes to the Lin family.
Old Mrs. Lin nodded, "That's all. I believe you will not treat her harshly. Wait until she calms down and then let her mother persuade her... We have been married for most of our lives. As long as we figure it out, nothing will happen."
Lin Ji also said, "Brother-in-law, we are all respectable people. Now that the matter is over, don't be impatient. Take your time."
Yan Jun nodded.
Lin Jiangwan didn't make any more fuss and followed him back.
Then, word came out that Lin Jiangwan suddenly fell ill and was recuperating. Many people in the capital were surprised. After discussing it for a few days, the new news attracted their attention.
