Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 480 Disappointment
Lin Sanniang dragged her nephew Lin Jiulang to leave with complicated emotions.

Lin Jiulang was still a little unwilling.He said to Li Lijun: "What's so good about being a female crown? Although you have more freedom of movement, when you get older, you will be alone. Isn't it lonely? We have had the same temperament since we were young, and we get along very well. You don't want me Is it with you?"

Li Lijun just smiled: "I have become a female crown, you can still visit me, chat with me, and enjoy the scenery. However, if you marry a wife, it is better to accompany her to do these things, don't let you His wife was wronged."

Lin Jiulang thought about the situation for a while, and couldn't help shivering: "I don't even dare to think about the day when someone else becomes my wife! Forget it, if you really want to become a nun, then in the future I also become a Taoist monk, so let's stay together as companions."

Lin Sanniang was annoyed and funny when she heard this: "Shut up! If your mother hears this, what will she think?! You are the only one she can count on!"

Lin Jiulang said disapprovingly: "How can my mother only have me as her hope? She often communicates with her natal relatives on weekdays. Even if she wants to remarry in the future, she will do so. I will never stop it! If she doesn't marry again, I will also help her." She takes care of the elderly. But what kind of life I want to live, what kind of wife I want to marry, and whether I want to have children are all my own business. If I want to make her happy, I will make myself unhappy all my life. What's the point of such a life? What do you mean? If I’m not happy, can my mother be happy?”

Lin Sanniang spat: "Shut up! I don't know if you will be happy in the future. But if you really refuse to marry a wife and have children, your old man can break your leg first without your mother's presence!" After all, he wanted to take his nephew away again.

Lin Jiulang sighed: "The world is unpredictable. Even Ah Weng himself often lamented that God's will tricks people. He tried his best to regain the glory of his family, but God always failed. At some point, our Lin family will have Maybe because of the defeat of the army, the whole family was demoted. Life is so difficult, why do you talk about marrying a wife and having children? If something happens, it will affect your wife, children and in-laws. It is better to become a Taoist priest, and maybe you can save your life! Ah Weng may not be able to Angry at me. Auntie should live her own life first, it's serious."

Lin Sanniang couldn't help feeling sad when she said this, but it was hard to show it in front of Li Lijun, so she took a deep breath and forced a smile to apologize to Li Lijun: "Don't blame Li Niang, Jiulang's temper is getting worse now. Nonsense..."

Li Lijun saw it a bit: "Is Lin Guogong's situation not good?"

"It's nothing bad." Lin Jiulang said, "It's just that he opposes the imperial court's resumption of the war in Yunnan, which is contrary to Yang Zhongcheng's opinion. Ah Weng is not as discouraged now as he was back then, maybe he will return to Luoyang to take care of himself?"

When the Lin family was looking for the position of the economic envoy of the Five Lingnan Prefectures, they had already abandoned the foundation of Fan Yang's hometown, and hadn't established a new foundation in Chang'an.Offended the upstarts of the dynasty, Lin Guogong didn't expect his children and grandchildren to have a good future, so he could only let them earn their lives by their own abilities.The only gratification is that her daughter married into the Sui Palace, and she has a deep relationship with her husband, so there is no need to worry about being alone for life.What's more, the Lin family has an in-law of the Sui Palace, so it will not be a complete defeat.Just thinking back to Lin Guogong's smug attitude more than two years ago, and he wanted to make a comeback. Today's change in his mentality is embarrassing.

Li Lijun listened silently, remembering the Anshi Rebellion a few years later, and felt that Lin Guogong should continue to stay in Lingnan for a few more years.If they really lost their position as the envoy of the Five Lingnan Prefectures, lost their military power, and went back to Luoyang to take care of the elderly, the Lin family would really be like ants, waiting to die.Their family offended Shi Siming, how could they spare the lives of the Lin family?

So Li Lijun persuaded Lin Jiulang: "Mr. Lin is only feeling discouraged because of a moment of unhappiness. Please help him more, old man. You have so many uncles and brothers, all of them are outstanding. As long as you can keep the foundation of Lingnan, time will come. How can you lose confidence because of a moment of trouble? A veteran in the battlefield is used to life and death. What can be difficult in the world? If Lin Guogong really gave up so easily as you said, It doesn't look like him in the legend."

Lin Jiulang laughed when he heard this: "I didn't expect Si Niangzi to have more confidence in Ah Weng than my own grandson. Well, I will tell Ah Weng about this. Thank you for still trusting our Lin family." He said solemnly I bowed to Li Lijun, "Although I don't know if Si Niangzi has really made up her mind to become a nun in the future, if you need to send me anywhere in the future, just send someone to look for me, Lin Zhitang is always here .”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left Li Lijun's yard.

Lin Sanniang was stunned for a while, then hurriedly followed.She couldn't understand this conversation between her nephew and her husband's niece. How could these two children even talk about these grown-up matters?They even talked decently!Could it be... She really underestimated these two children?There is a tacit understanding between them that she doesn't know?

Li Lijun sent the guests away, and when she returned to her room, she silently recalled what happened just now, and there was always a feeling of irony.

She didn't expect Lin Jiulang to discuss marriage with her, but now she finally knows what his name is.

Lin Zhitang... This name really doesn't seem to be the name given to his children by Jiangmen's family. Could it be Lin Jiulang's mother's idea?His mother is from the Hedong Wang family. After the aristocratic family, he should be more particular about naming his children, right?
Sweating profusely, Lin Sanniang sent her nephew Lin Jiulang out of the gate of the Sui Palace. When she returned to her yard, she felt exhausted physically and mentally. She sat down and drank a full glass of water, and she didn't even have the strength to speak. .

Today her husband Li Lang happened to be at home. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Why is this? I think Jiulang has a well-organized way of doing things on weekdays. He and Li Niang have known each other since childhood and are very close. The two children just met each other. It's just talking, let them talk. Why do you follow up and follow up, make the children feel uncomfortable, and you are too tired to panic. "

Lin Sanniang looked at her husband, but she didn't dare to tell him what her nephew said to Li Lijun today.The fourth lady is only about the age of cardamom, and she is being targeted by other brats. Which elder can not be angry when she finds out? !For the sake of her nephew's safety, Lin Sanniang decided to hide it for him, just pretending that he is just a child today and talking nonsense, and it can't be true.

As for her insisting on accompanying her nephew to meet Fourth Lady, she has her reasons.Li Tang's family may be used to doing things casually and don't care about etiquette and rules, but the world always likes to argue.Back then, why did she attract the covetousness of a womanizer when she was so good, and was almost forced to marry into a historian?Isn't it because of negligence in these trivial matters, causing people to gossip? !Since she has suffered a great loss, she must never let her children suffer this again!
She quickly found a relatively safe topic: "I heard Jiulang chatting with Si Niangzi today, Si Niangzi seems to have the idea of ​​becoming a monk and becoming a female crown, and said that she has already mentioned it to the prince and princess. Does the county king know about this? How could she have such thoughts at such a young age? The county king should try to persuade the prince and concubine to dispel Si Niangzi's thoughts!"
