"What's more, my nephew hadn't even passed the exam at that time. I'm afraid my uncle wouldn't agree to marry Sister Lin, right?" Feng Ziying said calmly.
Lin Ruhai didn't care about the other party's remarks. Indeed, he probably wouldn't agree to it at the time. He had the capital, but now the other party said that his mother wouldn't agree either, which he couldn't accept.
"Ziying, I'm asking you why your father-in-law won't agree?" Lin Ruhai asked sharply.
"Uncle, Sister Lin is frail, and she was even more frail three years ago. You also know the situation of my family. For my mother, I am afraid that nothing is more important than a healthy and easy-to-give wife. Sister Lin's condition at that time
My mother will definitely not agree to this situation." Feng Ziying said slightly helplessly.
"Then your mother can agree now?" Lin Ruhai's heart trembled.
The situation of the Feng family is quite special. I'm afraid what this son said is true. His mother is more willing to marry a woman who is strong and easy to give birth to, and will not care too much about her family background. This is true for Shang Yu'er.
It's a big problem, but I have somewhat ignored it.
"Well, on the one hand, it's because the eldest brother must get married first. In this way, my mother may not be so anxious. It can also give Sister Lin more time to take care of her body. In two or three years, Sister Lin will be the right age.
, I think my body will be much healthier." Feng Ziying answered calmly.
But Lin Ruhai felt in his heart that this was probably a bit worrying. He knew his daughter's body very well. Her mother, Jia Min, had a thin body, and it was extremely difficult to give birth to Daiyu. Yu'er was very similar to her mother in this regard.
No wonder people get excited when they see Yu'er's physique.
If it drags on for two or three years, even if someone is forced to marry Yu'er due to the engagement, if nothing happens, Yu'er's future situation will be very bad. Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai will find it difficult to stabilize her heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ruhai knew of course that this was the case for these wealthy families. If the legitimate wife did not get into trouble, the problem would be great, and the problem could not even be solved by taking concubines and having children.
He also couldn't tolerate the situation where his daughter would face bullying by her concubine and his heirs once she had nothing to do.
Although it was a bit premature to conclude that his daughter would be pregnant, he did not want to see even the slightest possibility. It would have been easier if he was in good health, but now, thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's mind became more and more heavy.
"Huh, Yu'er is still young. She will naturally get better after a few more years..."
"That's natural. My nephew has also found a physical training method specifically for my sister, which can also help my sister become stronger." Feng Ziying also nodded in agreement.
"Oh?" Lin Ruhai didn't know this, and was quite surprised. He nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't believe it, of course he knew his daughter's body and bones best, but if he has such a heart, it means he really wants to marry his daughter. "
Well, that's fine, but is that You's daughter you intend to take as your concubine? Why do you take her out? Are you unable to live without women at a young age? Do you want to attract criticism from the censor? "
Feng Ziying was stunned. Sanjie You had been accompanying Daiyu, so she followed Daiyu into the Lin family's door. She didn't expect that Lin Ruhai observed so carefully, or that Jia Lian also directly told Lin Ruhai. Originally, such things were not allowed.
A piece of cake.
"Well, to be honest with uncle, I do have this intention, but bringing her out is not a woman my nephew can't live without. Although my nephew is not talented, he still has some self-control." Feng Ziying smiled.
"Oh?" Lin Ruhai was slightly surprised. He also felt that Feng Ziying was not like this. How could Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia take notice of Feng Ziying who was so ignorant? "Why is that?"
"I'm afraid my uncle also knows what my nephew is doing with Cui Gong and his party to the south of the Yangtze River. That's all. But he may be going to Fujian and Zhejiang. Maritime merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang have always been entangled with Japanese pirates, and the imperial court is fully opening up the sea, which is bound to cause some problems.
Maritime merchants who have long colluded with Japanese pirates for smuggling have had an impact. I am afraid that many people are not willing to see the implementation of this policy of the imperial court, and some underhanded tactics will be used..."
Lin Ruhai was startled and thought for a while before saying: "We must be on guard against this, not only in Fujian and Zhejiang, but also in southern Zhili. In recent years, the public security has been unstable. Although the Japanese are not as rampant as before the Renchen Japanese Rebellion, they are still more violent than before."
In the two years since the Imjin Japanese Rebellion ended, there have been some recurrences. Large groups of Japanese pirates have landed in Ningbo, Songjiang, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Hangzhou, and they have even penetrated as far as Nanjing..., but my nephew is
Are you worried that those maritime merchants inviting those Japanese pirates to come will be detrimental to you?"
"Well, although Mr. Cui and the others are taking some precautions, and Captain Long is also accompanied by several people, my nephew observes that Mr. Cui and the others are still a little too careless. The reason is that we are only here to investigate, and it is difficult to influence the court's policies, so for us
Disadvantage is meaningless, but the Japanese pirates and those smuggling merchants may not think so. They just want to delay it year after year. If they can achieve their goals by using these means, why not do it? Anyway, this is like
The bet is average and the price is not worth mentioning, but what if the bet is really right?"
Feng Ziying's words made Lin Ruhai deeply convinced, "Ziying, I'm afraid we can't just guard against Japanese pirates, we also have to guard against those people in the world who come and go. These people in the world only have interests in their eyes. If those maritime merchants can promise it,
I'm afraid they can do anything if they are too profitable. But what does this have to do with You's daughter? Could it be that You's daughter...?"
Feng Ziying did not hide anything and nodded, "This You girl is a sword boy from the Northwest Kongtong Sect. She has superb martial arts skills. I brought her out just to take precautions."
I see. Lin Ruhai didn't have any objections to this. After all, their trip involved the livelihood of too many people, even life and death, so there might be people who would take risks and be careful about sailing the ten thousand year ship, that's right.
"Well, Ziying, since you sincerely want to marry Yu'er, of course I won't ruin this marriage, but Yu'er is still young and her body is fragile. Do you plan to get engaged first and then wait a few years?
marriage?"
This is also a key issue. Lin Daiyu is only thirteen years old. According to common sense, she needs to be sixteen before she can get married. Moreover, Lin Daiyu's physical condition is delicate. According to Feng Ziying's consideration, it is best to wait until she is eighteen to get married and have sex, otherwise it will be really easy.
Injure yourself.
"If uncle allows it, my nephew has this intention." Feng Ziying said without hesitation: "In the next three or four years, Sister Lin will definitely be much healthier. I can ask my mother to take care of her as soon as I return here.
When a person acts as a matchmaker, he must first make a betrothal, and I also told Master Qiao about this."
Lin Ruhai finally laughed, "Ziying, as far as I know, you should have told Brother Rujun before that you and Yu'er were about to get married, right? Could it be that you and Yu'er have a private marriage?"
Feng Ziying sweated profusely. Didn't Master Qiao have a similar relationship with Lin Ruhai? How come they still exchanged letters? Did he tell Lin Ruhai all the things he had said to deceive him before?
For a moment, she was not sure what Qiao Yingjia and Lin Ruhai had said and to what extent, but Feng Ziying felt that Qiao Yingjia should not have said something too profound to Lin Ruhai. Maybe he mentioned it accidentally?
"This is absolutely not the case. How could a person like Sister Lin behave in such an unruly manner? My nephew would not dare to act so boldly and rebelliously. However, after the Linqing Civil War, my nephew also visited Sister Lin several times.
, when Master Qiao asked, I said that if I were destined to marry Sister Lin in the future, I would marry Sister Lin. Later, my nephew took the liberty to say that he had already exchanged letters with his uncle and hoped to marry Sister Lin.
I want to introduce other families to my nephew..."
Feng Ziying spoke vaguely while observing the changes in Lin Ruhai's expression. She saw that Lin Ruhai had no strange expression and didn't care too much. This was when she was sure that Qiao Yingjia and Lin Ruhai only mentioned it accidentally and did not discuss the specific time or details.
Lin Ruhai also had a purpose in mentioning this. The Feng and Lin families have not yet been engaged, and Lin Ruhai can be sure that there will probably be some twists and turns, especially the situation with Feng Ziying's mother. I'm afraid it will be difficult, but now she can't force her to do it right away.
Someone from Feng Ziying's family came to get engaged, and if the marriage was approved by Qiao Yingjia, it would be much more secure.
As a scholar leader, Qiao Yingjia must at least adhere to the word "trust". As long as he nods or approves, if the marriage wants to be regretted, the Feng family will have to consider the impact and impression.
Even though there are some twists and turns in Feng Ziying's family, she also has countermeasures, but she still needs to make some arrangements.
Feng Ziying naturally did not expect Lin Ruhai to be so profound and sophisticated. He had planned these problems from the beginning, step by step, and stepped into the trap without knowing it. Of course, even if he knew, he would not change anything.
.
Seeing Lin Ruhai looking a little tired, Feng Ziying took her leave.
When Jia Lian saw Feng Ziying coming out, he hurried forward to greet her.
"It's okay, Brother Lian. Uncle Lin is in good health at the moment. He told me about Sister Lin and me." Feng Ziying comforted the other party.
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, "Then over here..."
"I'm afraid I have to work hard for the second brother Lian for a while. I'm afraid Uncle Lin also knows his own situation. I'm afraid he has to make various arrangements during this period. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to stay in Yangzhou all the time, so many things still have to be done."
Second brother will worry about it." Feng Ziying said seriously.
"It's nothing, it's just..." Jia Lian didn't know what to say for a moment. Could it be that it was too much to say that he had to wait until Lin Ruhai died and ask the Lin family how to arrange their subsequent property.
"Second brother Lian, I know your difficulties. Just wait a moment. I believe that with Uncle Lin's wisdom, he has already made comprehensive arrangements." Feng Ziying patted Jia Lian's shoulder meaningfully.
