Of course, Lin Zhu's actions also attracted the attention of some interested people, including Zhao Cheng, the Marquis of Hui'an. After Lin Zhu rejected him, he was warned overtly or covertly, so Zhao Cheng had to stop and use his power to force Lin Zhu to marry him.
The desire to cooperate.
Originally, he wanted one of his grandsons to get close to Lin Zhu, but from time to time there were rumors that Lin Zhu and Mu Qiyue were entangled. After all, he was from a powerful family, so he was naturally disgusted with these. In addition, he got the news about Mu Qiyue.
The closer I get these special grains from somewhere in the south, my interest in forest bamboos also decreases a lot.
Even so, he had been paying attention to some of Lin Zhu's movements. That's why he got the news as soon as Lin Zhu bought the new farm.
Moreover, Zhao Cheng also learned from his daughter Zhao that Prince Qing's palace was interested in his granddaughter Lin Qingxue as Mu Qiyue's wife, which rekindled some of his thoughts.
In Zhao Cheng's view, even if Mu Qiyue did not get those special seeds from Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu still had the means to obtain these things, and Lin Zhu and Mu Qiyue were innocent, so he could completely follow the previous rules
The idea worked.
At most, he would not let his most proud grandson take action and replace him with someone else.
Therefore, Zhao Cheng asked people to find out where Lin Zhu could appear so that his grandsons could show up in front of Lin Zhu, and he was going to hire a matchmaker to propose marriage to the general's palace for his grandsons.
Lin Zhu didn't know that someone had already made up her mind. She was still discussing some modification plans for the new farm with Feng Yuanbo and Chang Shi.
"Although the fields there are a bit barren, I have already seen them. As long as they take good care of them for a year, they can become fertile fields. It's just that the water source is a bit difficult and it's a bit far away from the river." Feng Yuanbo summarized what he saw.
Yi explained to Lin Zhu and Chang Shi.
"Water source is a big deal. Regardless of the current quality of the fields, without water, it is not a good thing for the crops. Uncle Shi, you and Butler Feng are looking for someone who knows how to work on water conservancy, and ask him to help us in this regard even if it costs some money.
Get it done." Lin Zhu felt that sharpening the knife would not delay chopping wood. Only when the preparations are done well in advance can the maximum benefits be obtained.
Where is the gain without investment?
Chang Shi also agreed very much with Lin Zhu's approach. So, after explaining it to the general, he went to work on the new farm with Feng Yuanbo.
It was only then that Lin Zhu took a break. But she heard something from Aunt Chang that shocked her.
"What? Real or fake?" Lin Zhu looked at Aunt Chang in disbelief, almost thinking that she had heard wrong just now. She was talking about someone else, right?
"It's true. The Marquis of Hui'an came to visit the general a few days ago. He mentioned this matter to the general and seemed to intend to propose marriage to the girl for his grandson. However, the general blocked him. It's just that he didn't seem to give up.
"At that time, Lin Zhu was busy with the affairs of the new farm. Therefore, General Chang did not let anyone tell Lin Zhu about this matter.
"Oh, that's okay." Lin Zhu felt relieved when he heard that General Chang had declined.
"But girl, you should be more careful when you go out on weekdays." Aunt Chang reminded. "The Marquis of Hui'an said that his grandson seemed to have met you at a banquet, so he asked him to come and make peace with the general. Although it was a bit unreasonable.
It's not polite, but everyone does it tacitly. So, you should pay more attention when you accept an invitation from another girl."
After listening to Aunt Chang's words, Lin Zhu suddenly thought that the appearance of Marquis Hui'an was not a coincidence at all, but intentional. Ever since she refused to cooperate with him, Lin Zhu felt a little strange, how could he be so peaceful?
.You are not entangled with yourself at all? It turns out that you are waiting for yourself here.
However, since he has also recruited, let's just recruit them as soon as possible. She has also heard about the people in the Zhao family of Hui'an Hou. Except for the eldest grandson, they are not good birds. Apart from spending time and drinking, you can hardly find them when doing business.
.
"Which grandson of his is the Marquis of Hui'an asking for marriage for?" Lin Zhu was not that kind of ignorant little girl, and naturally she would not be shy about not knowing anything about her marriage.
"I heard that he is the second young master Zhao Yu." Aunt Chang replied, with a somewhat uncomfortable look on her face. Apparently she had also heard about Zhao Yu's personality.
"Hmph, the Marquis of Hui'an is really good at planning." Lin Zhu sneered. Zhao Yu is the best among his top grandsons. To him, living and drinking is nothing. There are rumors in the capital that he often sleeps in flowers and willows.
Not to mention, he seems to have kept a lot of concubines, and his yard can hardly accommodate them with so many concubines.
However, Zhao Cheng loved his grandson the most, so he let him go.
After hearing this, Lin Zhu was not only angry, "It seems that people regard me as a piece of clay." That's why he calculated this against himself.
"Girl, this kind of person is not worthy of your anger. The general not only rejected the proposal of Marquis Hui'an, but also warned him not to have any delusions. The general will never betroth you to such a person." Aunt Chang
He quickly explained.
Of course Lin Zhu could also think of this, otherwise, all kinds of persuasion would be waiting for her now.
"Aunt Chang, don't worry, I know grandpa will definitely think about me." Lin Zhu said.
"If that girl goes out, be careful. I heard that Mr. Zhao Yu is used to using some tricks." Aunt Chang couldn't help but remind Lin Zhu again, fearing that she would fall into some trap without knowing the reason.
"I'll pay attention." Lin Zhu nodded, thinking about someone's recent invitations that he couldn't refuse. After all, it's better to do less than to do more.
Zhao Cheng's plan was naturally not hidden from Zhao, and he also needed Zhao's help with some things. Now that he had an inevitable intention to win over Lin Zhu, he didn't mind using some means.
Moreover, if the Lin family comes forward to invite Lin Zhu, it will be very convenient for Zhao even if he does some tricks. After all, the Lin family has many girls, and they are familiar with Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu will definitely not refuse the Lin family's invitation.
The way to achieve one's own goals even if he could refuse the marriage at the General's Mansion was to force Lin Zhu to marry his grandson. Destroying someone's innocence was the best way.
Zhao Cheng is not a kind person, so he uses this method very easily.
After hearing this method, Mrs. Zhao was surprised, but she had no objection. She didn't have a good impression of Lin Zhu, and her daughter Lin Qingxue also regarded Lin Zhu as a love rival, so she had such a good opportunity to plot against Lin Zhu.
, she will not let it go no matter what.
So the father and daughter discussed how to make Lin Zhu become a member of the Zhao family in the Hui'an Marquis Mansion.
It must be done logically and without leaving any trace, and every link must be arranged very carefully. After all, people are going to be plotted in the Lin Mansion, and the reputation of the Lin Mansion must not be tarnished. Otherwise, the Lin family will not let it go.
Therefore, even if Zhao wanted to design Lin Zhu, he had to find a proper way.
There just happened to be a good opportunity recently. Mrs. Lin's birthday is coming soon. With her reputation, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to celebrate her birthday. Even in the name of the General's Mansion, Lin Zhu will definitely be there.
, not to mention that there are at least two people in the Lin family who want her to appear, one is Lin Qinglan, and the other is of course Lin Yuewei.
The Zhao family was also in charge of the banquet, so she would naturally know how to arrange it. This gave Zhao Cheng an opportunity to devise a method for his grandson Zhao Yu to succeed easily.
In order to prevent herself from being framed, Lin Zhu had already declined many invitations. But the invitation from the Lin family could not be avoided no matter what.
Moreover, Lin Zhu also thought that the Lin family and the Zhao family were related by marriage. Zhao Cheng would not be so bold as to plot against him at the birthday party of his in-laws. However, Lin Zhu was still prepared and asked Mu Jingwen to follow him closely.
.In this way, if something unforeseen happens, someone can save you.
After arriving at the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhu realized that he had really underestimated the shamelessness of some people. Because even if he did not know Zhao Cheng's grandson Zhao Yu, he knew about the so-called man after being reminded by some maids arranged by the Zhao family.
The handsome young man with tall jade trees facing the wind is Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu's appearance completely overturned Lin Zhu's understanding of the four words Yushu Linfeng. If the dark circles on a person's face are about to fall to his chin, his face is pale and bloodless, and his eyes are lifeless, Zhu
With a body as tall as a rod and frivolous steps, if this could be called a jade tree facing the wind, Lin Zhu would rather have his eyes blinded.
Except for the priceless moon-white brocade shirt that could barely reach the edge of the jade tree facing the wind, Zhao Yu himself was basically useless in Lin Zhu's eyes.
Of course, Zhao Yu also has the so-called aloof temperament of a young man from a powerful family. He looked arrogant. When he saw Lin Zhu from a distance, he couldn't help but look at her, as if he was evaluating goods, which also made Lin Zhu also
Very uncomfortable.
In the end, no matter how much the maid sent by the Zhao family talked about Zhao Yu and said that there was no good person on earth who was hard to find in heaven, Lin Zhu remained unmoved. After finding Lin Qinglan alone, he stayed with her every step of the way.
Not leaving. Due to Lin Qinglan's face, the maid said no more, which made Lin Zhu temporarily relieved.
Lin Zhu's appearance certainly attracted Lin Qinglan's attention, but because there were too many people coming to celebrate her birthday, she was also responsible for entertaining the ladies, so she couldn't find time to ask Lin Zhu what happened.
Lin Zhu tried her best to reduce her sense of presence and did not dare to find secluded places. She had to stay in crowded places and speak insincere words to some ladies from time to time. This was to prevent some people from looking for opportunities to let her move around. (
