The sentimentality on Lin Cheng's face was not fake. Mu Anzhi didn't even bother to ask. Your Lin family has also been a wealthy family for hundreds of years. How come you, the eldest son of General Lin, still have "poor friends"?
Since Lin Cheng had no intention of getting married, Mu Anzhi couldn't force it, and it was not like no one wanted the princess. If Princess Jiayue hadn't unexpectedly fallen in love with Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng wouldn't have been on the list of potential consorts.
Mu Anzhi went to Emperor Mu Xuan to return his orders. Since Lin Cheng had no intention of marrying a wife, Emperor Mu Xuan gave up.
Li Yuhua inquired about Queen Mother Lan, "The third brother said that General Lin was very sad at that time. It was really difficult for him to ask and he felt strange. I thought, the imperial grandmother must know. The Lin family has been rich for three or four generations.
Why is General Lin still so 'poor'?"
Queen Mother Lan really knew something about it. Queen Mother Lan said, "It's an old matter of the Lin family."
"Grandma Huang, please tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."
"She really likes to inquire." Empress Dowager Lan said with a smile, and then started talking to Li Yuhua, "General Lin had a falling out with his wife when he was young, and he and his first wife, Mrs. Cheng, couldn't get along, so they had to write a divorce letter and live separately. I didn't know at the time
Mrs. Cheng had flesh and blood in her belly, and the lady General Lin Xu married was named Zhao. After Mrs. Zhao married General Lin, she gave birth to five daughters in succession."
"This is really mysterious."
"Isn't it?" Queen Mother Lan said, "Later, when Lin Cheng came to the imperial capital, you didn't know that his appearance was a shadow of General Lin's when he was young. You don't need to shed blood to know that he must be related by blood.
. General Lin checked, can this be wrong? Although Lin Cheng grew up among the people, he was born to be talented, and his martial arts skills are just as good as those of the disciples of the family. "
Li Yuhua asked, "What about General Lin Cheng's biological mother?"
"Mrs. Cheng died of illness when Lin Cheng was young."
"People in the imperial capital pay attention to being from the same family when getting married. The Cheng family that General Lin married is not an ordinary family. Why did General Lin Cheng grow up among the people? Where is his uncle's family?"
"The Cheng family has fallen into ruin and has long gone back to live in their hometown."
Li Yuhua said, "This is because the Lin family is not authentic. I thought my father was the only such man in the world, but it turns out that General Lin is also the leader among them."
"It is difficult for an upright official to interrupt household affairs," Queen Mother Lan said.
"Morally, there are three things that should not be done. The first one is that you can't get divorced without getting anything back. Doesn't that mean that when you get married, your brother-in-law, parents, and parents are still alive, but when you get divorced, you can't get divorced. Although they are reconciled,
It’s a bit cold.” Li Yuhua sneered, “How else could he continue to marry someone who has no children? It’s probably retribution!”
Queen Mother Lan really agreed with Li Yuhua's view, but since the Lin family was an important minister in the court, Queen Mother Lan still gave Li Yuhua a few words of advice.
Li Yuhua said, "Everyone who has no conscience will have his retribution. Look at my father, Mr. Lu Xu is still gritting his teeth and regretting it. As soon as I came to the imperial capital, I fell in love with my third brother, and my life was fine.
Prosperous. If the Lu Xu family hadn't given up, my third brother and I wouldn't have been able to be a family. If I extrapolate this great blessing, I don't believe that the daughter she gave birth to will marry better than me."
Queen Mother Lan listened very happily, patted Li Yuhua's hand and said, "This is a blessing in your life, so you should be a family with Ashen."
Li Yuhua thought the same way. She thought about Princess Jiayue and said, "How can I tell sister Jiayue?"
"Jiayue has always been sensible. If you mention it to Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui will understand." Empress Dowager Lan was not too worried about her granddaughter. "The four children she saw that day are all first-class talents."
Li Yuhua also said, "Yes, even though I am young now, I am not yet very prominent in my official position. I will definitely have a bright future if I can gain more experience and experience."
Li Yuhua thought that the matter was over and did not want to come to Yongshou Pavilion again. Princess Jiayue invited her over for tea.
Princess Jiayue lived with Concubine Hui in the same place. Concubine Hui liked to garden with flowers and plants, and the yard between them and her daughter was particularly quiet and pleasant. They took dried rose buds and brewed them in a glass pot, and there was a faint floral fragrance with the water.
The fog escapes.
"This tea is so fragrant."
Princess Jiayue pointed to the two small dots on the side, and smiled with two thin pear dimples on the corners of her lips, "These are the Gorgon Cake and Red Date, Walnut and Sesame Cake I made in the morning. Sister-in-law, please try them."
Li Yuhua tasted them all and praised them very much.
"Please come over, Sister-in-law Three. I would like to invite Sister-in-law Three to taste the refreshments I made, and I also want to ask Sister-in-law Three about something." Princess Jiayue held back her shame, her cheeks were a little red, she clenched her hands tightly, and raised her head to look directly into Li Yuhua's eyes.
, "I don't necessarily want General Lin to be the consort. I heard that he has never married, but what's the reason? I heard that my father asked the third brother to ask General Lin. I want my third sister-in-law to know the reason."
Li Yuhua put down the sesame cake in his hand and asked, "Why is my sister so attracted to General Lin? Is there any special reason?"
Dongmu women have always been generous, but Princess Jiayue was just young, and she was a little embarrassed when it came to marriage discussions. Li Yuhua asked, and Princess Jiayue told Li Yuhua in detail, "A few years ago, I accompanied my father Huang Qiu once
Jiaxiang and I went hunting. My riding skills were not very good. When I was shooting rabbits on my horse, I lost my seat and fell. It was General Lin who saved me, otherwise I would have definitely fallen. I felt at that time, this
The general is extremely reliable."
Princess Jiayue did not mince words about her feelings, and Li Yuhua also told the reason why Lin Cheng refused to marry. She also added a few words of her own opinion, "General Lin's biological mother is very pitiful. He has experienced many difficult things before.
It’s also such a heavy sentiment and righteousness.”
The ends of Princess Jiayue's eyes were slightly red, and it took a long time to endure the sadness in her heart before she said, "At first glance, he is different from ordinary nobles."
"Yes. It's precisely because he has such a sense of friendship that people respect him and he deserves his sister's favor, right?"
Princess Jiayue knew that the third sister-in-law was worried about her affection, so she forced a smile and said, "I know. I just asked the third sister-in-law to make it clear that the person who can make General Lin miss her must be a good woman."
It's just that this woman is not me.
Princess Jiayue asked about the reason and did not stalk him. The next day, she told her mother, "There is nothing we can do about not having a relationship with General Lin. I think Mr. Li has a gentle temperament. What do you think about it?"
"All the young gentlemen are good. In terms of gentle temperament, Young Master Yao is not bad either." Concubine Hui saw that her daughter's face looked a little haggard and knew that she must have not had a good rest last night, so she analyzed the marriage affairs with her in detail.
"Didn't you say that my father had chosen Jiaxiang's son Yao?"
Concubine Hui slowly picked through the walnuts presented by the palace servants, intending to select some good ones to make walnut cheese for her daughter. When she heard this, she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Princess Jiaxiang is not interested in Mr. Yao."
Concubine Hui had been paying close attention to Princess Jiaxiang's side since the marriage was related to her daughter for life. As early as when the queen asked Princess Jiayue to choose first, Concubine Hui felt that something was wrong. How could the mother and daughter of Fengyi Palace take the initiative to let people have their temper.
In the past few days, she asked the palace officials to be more careful, and finally heard some rumors.
Princess Jiayue asked, "Is my sister the young master next to me?"
"None of the four young masters are in the eyes of Princess Jiaxiang, and she doesn't like anyone else." Concubine Hui said to her daughter, "This young master of the Yao family was hid in the palace by your father who was particularly gracious and allowed him to come and go freely in the palace. The second young master Li
Then he was transferred from the civilian position in the Ministry of War to the military position in Xuanjiawei. I thought that Mr. Yao must be a very gentle man."
"I'm just worried that the queen mother and the prince's brother will think too much, and it will appear that I am trying to seize Jiaxiang's person." Princess Jiayue hesitated.
Concubine Hui was thinking brightly, "Let your father make the decision on this matter. Let's just say that we, mother and daughter, think both of them are good. Indeed, they are two outstanding young men. It's difficult to make a decision at the moment, so we still need your father's help."
Princess Jiayue nodded, "Just listen to your mother and concubine."
Princess Jiaxiang's temperament is difficult to persuade by others. Fortunately, she was very good at acting coquettishly in front of Emperor Mu Xuan. With a little temper, she said that she didn't like anyone, she didn't want to get married, and she wanted to live in the palace for a few more years. Emperor Mu Xuan briefly
After trying to persuade her, she said that her father disliked her. Emperor Mu Xuan had no choice but to not mention Princess Jiaxiang's marriage for the time being.
Princess Jiayue seemed to be particularly sensible. Before Lin Cheng's marriage was completed, he immediately made other plans.
Concubine Hui discussed her daughter's life-long affairs with Emperor Mu Xuan, and said with a smile, "I have no idea. Today I think Mr. Li is better, and tomorrow I think Mr. Yao is better. Our Jiayue has been weak since she was a child, and I always want to find someone for her."
It would be nice if she has a like-minded gentleman. Your Majesty must help her come up with an idea."
Both daughters were very fond of Emperor Mu Xuan. Princess Jiaxiang was more unruly, while Princess Jiayue was always sensible. Since Princess Jiaxiang didn't want to get married yet, Emperor Mu Xuan was indeed more attracted to Yao Xu, so he said to Concubine Hui, "That child of the Yao family, I
Looking at Gengxi's poems and books, how do you think he favors our Jiayue?"
Concubine Hui beamed, "Of course this is great!" She then asked the palace servants to call her daughter over to express her gratitude.
Emperor Mu Xuan was very happy to see Concubine Hui and her daughter, and he was particularly happy in his heart.
Emperor Mu Xuan personally brought Concubine Hui to announce the good news to Empress Dowager Lan. Naturally, Empress Dowager Lan was also happy. All the concubines accompanying him congratulated Empress Dowager Lan. Concubine Hui of Emperor Mu
Many concubines were extremely envious of the excellent marriage.
Even more people came to congratulate Princess Jiayue.
Only Princess Jiaxiang was different. She went to ask Princess Jiaxiang privately, "I heard a few days ago that sister, you are attracted to General Lin. Why do you want to marry a boy from the Yao family?"
Princess Jiayue said, "General Lin intends to honor his deceased wife. I didn't know about it beforehand. If I had known about it, I would never embarrass him again. Mr. Yao is also an outstanding talent. Sister, please don't call me a brat like that."
Princess Jiaxiang teased Princess Jiayue, "I haven't even become the eldest brother-in-law yet, sister, you're leaning towards him!"
Princess Jiayue took out the walnut cheese and said, "I don't know how I got such a broken mouth. Eat the cheese quickly so that I can seal my mouth."
Mrs. Jiang followed the second prince's concubine to the palace in the suburbs. She originally wanted to facilitate the marriage, but Princess Jiayue pointed out the young master of the Yao family within a few days. Mrs. Jiang wanted to find the second prince's concubine to find out what happened. The second prince's concubine had been living in
She could not enter the palace, so she went to the Lin family courtyard to look for Lin Cheng.
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly chased after Lin Cheng, saying earnestly, "I will give up such a good marriage as soon as I say it, but I don't know that such an opportunity does not come every day? If you don't cherish it today, you will never want it again if you want it tomorrow."
It can’t be done anymore.”
Lin Cheng suddenly stopped walking, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't take it back. She staggered to her feet, and her long sleeves swayed in the air, drawing a sharp arc. Lin Cheng's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he seemed to be able to see through Mrs. Jiang's inner thoughts.
As she thought about it, Mrs. Jiang became indescribably nervous, her throat suddenly became dry, and it became a little difficult to speak. She resisted Lin Cheng's gaze and forced herself to say, "By God, I'm thinking of my eldest brother!"
"
Lin Cheng looked at a young man behind him and said in a cold voice, "Since when can people enter the house without my consent? The concierge will give him twenty bucks and a fine of half a year's salary! If there is another time, I will expel the Lin family!"
Before Lin Cheng could say anything else, the young man waved his hand, and two wolf-like soldiers stepped forward, picked up Mrs. Jiang and drove her out.
After Mrs. Jiang was expelled, Lin Cheng went to the study and said, "Go and check with the concierge to see which slave is so brave!"
"Yes!" the young man said, "General, I'm afraid the old general will be displeased if we just drive people away like this."
"Let Zhao Cong persuade Mrs. Jiang. They are aunts and nephews who have a deep friendship, so they will be able to persuade her well." A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes, and he continued not to mention these disappointing things, and picked up a book on the desk.
I read the official document.
