Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 199 The Lin Family
A rich man came to Feixian County and bought eight yards and six shops within a few days. The news spread immediately and soon the whole Beidong Village knew about it.

Li Yuanqing once again became the focus of discussion after dinner!

Because this rich man is his grandmother, the old lady of the Lin family.

At this moment, the grandparent and grandson were sitting opposite each other, Li Yuanqing had a headache, and at the same time regretted that he should have spared time to visit the old lady in Nandong Village, so that she would not be irritated. A high-profile appearance in Feixian County.

"Grandmother, it's my grandson who is wrong, and it will definitely not be like this in the future." The most important thing is a sincere apology. His mother is no longer alive, and his father is busy with government affairs. This grandmother is actually his closest elder.

The old lady snorted, "You will lie to me, if you really want to, you won't wait until now!"

"Grandson doesn't dare to lie to grandma. If the previous thing was wrong, it was wrong. I won't make excuses, but with grandma's punishment, grandson will definitely not have any complaints."

The old lady just wanted him to say something nice, and she really wanted to make things difficult for him, so she laughed immediately, and pointed to the six maids behind her, "Well, these are the ones who have been with me for a few years. , there’s nothing to say about your temper and conduct, you’re grown up now, you can’t do without someone to serve you, let’s just pick two.”

This is not the first time this proposal has been made. Seeing that her grandson is already 20 years old and has not yet engaged, the old lady is afraid that he will end up alone like her eldest son, without even a descendant, so she wants to match him with two people. , It is said that the maid who serves is actually Tong Fang.

Li Yuanqing's body froze immediately, and those maids blushed one after another, lowered their heads, some of them were bold, and couldn't help their eyes from flying wildly.

"Here," he coughed softly, "Grandma, I am the magistrate of this place..."

The old lady didn't listen to him, and interrupted, "The magistrate doesn't want to marry a wife and have children? Don't think I'm too old to be fooled. The magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, and your father is still a second-rank official. Why don't you still have an aunt? Tongfang! Besides, the emperor is the biggest one, he has 72 concubines in the Six Courts of Sangong!"

It's really not easy to pretend to be stupid anymore, Li Yuanqing thought about it and said, "I have to wait for the main room to pass through the door..."

"Oh?" The old lady's eyes widened, "Are you willing to get married?"

He nodded, "I'm going to marry, and it's only a year or two, so don't push people around me, it won't look good to let others know."

Hearing what he said, the old lady's heart fell to the ground, and she nodded repeatedly, "It's good if you have such a thought, I will definitely choose the best girl for you! In fact, I don't like those in the capital. All of them have the temper of the eldest lady, and all of them have eyes on the top of their heads. If you want me to say, the ones in Jinan are fine..."

She was eloquent, and Li Yuanqing couldn't interrupt her, so he had to listen patiently. Finally, when he heard that there was a daughter among the doctors of the Jinan Road Industry Department, he finally couldn't help it.

"The Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Jinan has a lot of corruption and has been impeached several times. I don't know if the doctor of the Ministry of Industry can get rid of it."

The old lady was startled, "What else? That's not okay, you just took office and you can't be tarnished by these people." But there was still a look of regret on her face. She had met the lady of that family several times, no matter what It's a pity that she can't pick out the thorns in appearance and virtue, and she matches her grandson very well!
The corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and immediately listened to the old lady's words with a very serious attitude.

But the old lady lost her interest, she waved her hands and said, "Let's talk about it later, there are so many good girls in the world, wait for grandma to choose for you."

Hearing this, Li Yuanqing felt another headache.

Seeing him leaving, Mrs. Lin walked in with a smile, "Mother, did you pick two maids?"

"No, he said he wanted to get married." The old lady smiled with worry, "It's just a pity that the young lady of the Zhong family...can't get married with them."

Lin's eyes rolled, "Mother wants to make the decision for Yuanqing, why don't you ask brother-in-law?"

When Li Yu was mentioned, the old lady became very angry, "It's because of him that Yuanqing is like this! If she didn't come to provoke your sister, how could she be an aunt? He is good, and he can't handle anything. In the end Forced Xiang'er to come here to raise a baby..." She thought of her second daughter who passed away, tears were about to flow down her cheeks, but luckily God took pity on her and found her missing grandson, which was a bit of compensation.

Lin hurriedly persuaded her, she was ten years younger than her sister Lin Xiang, and Lin Xiang married at the age of 14, the friendship between the two sisters was actually far less than that between Lin Song and Lin Xiang.

"Mom, do you see how Miao Rong is?" After comforting her for a while, she asked cautiously.

Miaorong's full name is Chen Miaorong, she is Lin's niece, her husband is the third in the Chen family, and Chen Miaorong is the second eldest daughter of the Chen family.

The old lady glanced at her. She didn't know what the son-in-law was thinking. Their Lin family's property was ranked among the top few in the entire Jinan Prefecture. Now that there is no heir to inherit it, Li Yuanqing is the most likely candidate. Pushing people from the Chen family over, she snorted twice, "Is it your husband's idea again?"

Lin quickly shook her head, "My husband doesn't tell me these things, my daughter just thinks she looks pretty."

"So what? I don't even look where it came from!"

Lin's face turned pale when she heard this, she didn't come from the same family as her husband-in-law, she was very unhappy in her heart, her mother was also dissatisfied with this son-in-law back then, but because her father liked it, there was no way to stop her.

But she has never regretted marrying this husband-in-law. It's just that the business of the Chen family has not expanded over the years, and she always comes to ask the Lin family to borrow money. It is normal for her mother to look down on her more and more. Sighing secretly, "Then what kind of lady does mother want to find for Yuanqing?"

"Look slowly." Mrs. Lin was noncommittal.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Mrs. Lin said, "What about the Du family? It's not a solution for Yuanqing to keep running there. They will only treat that family as our relatives! What will happen then?" People come to the door, isn't it embarrassing our family?"

"You can't tell Yuanqing about this, anyway, I have raised him for more than ten years." The old lady thought about it, and said slowly, "Go and tell their family clearly, I put all those strange things there. , and send them all over, so as to teach them that not everyone can date relatives."

Lin naturally understood, and responded with a smile.

"Don't let Yuanqing know, let the whole village know." She warned, "Your elder brother said, since they know face, you should be polite, as long as anyone with a little brain will always know."

Mrs. Lin agreed again, called a few women and went to prepare.

The Du family didn't know anything about it, only that the old lady of the Lin family came to Feixian County, maybe because she missed her grandson, she bought a yard and planned to live there permanently.

They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, Du Xian and his wife only felt guilty about this matter, they didn't have any other thoughts.

Du Xiaoyu didn't have a good impression of that old lady. When she came to Du's house with her daughter, her face was full of anger. Of course, she couldn't blame them, but she always had a bad feeling.

This is where I live, with such a big penny, buying these things all at once, what kind of news are you trying to convey?Their Lin family is as rich as an enemy or something, why don't they expose their wealth like this!

She was thinking about this, while Zhao Dongzhi over there was thinking about how to get her son to marry a girl from the Ruan family as his wife.

Today I was discussing with Mrs. Zhao, "I bought rouge from her rouge shop. It is really good. It is thin and smooth, and the color is beautiful. No other shop can match it. It is really amazing! I went there yesterday. Her family invited their siblings over for a meal, which is considered an apology."

The drunken man didn't mean to drink, so Du Xiaoyu leaned over and said, "Have you asked your cousin?"

Zhao Dongzhi was afraid that she would find fault, so she smiled and said, "I asked, and he didn't say anything wrong."

That's not a good thing, Huang Lishu really has a broken head, he's not like Huang Xiaoying, he has a weird temper, that's why he can get along with Lin Qingzhen like a small bridge, but Huang Lishu is not such a person, he is really broken up?
Zhao said, "If you want to invite, please invite. It is also appropriate to interrupt the staff to invite a meal."

Seeing that her sister didn't object, Zhao Dongzhi immediately cheered up, "You all will come together when the time comes, so there will be more excitement."

"Then Ruan Xin can eat by himself if his hand is broken?" Du Xiaoyu remembered that it seemed to be his right hand.

Zhao Dongzhi shook his head, "He has to eat at home, anyway, Miss Ruan agrees, you don't care whether he can eat, Miss Ruan will always find a way." She paused, then smiled at Du Xian, "Brother-in-law, you cook It's delicious, come and help me when the time comes!"

She really flattered Ruan Yu in all kinds of ways, and asked his father to be a chef to take care of her taste!

Du Xian was always talkative, so he agreed immediately and said he would prepare some dishes carefully.

Seeing her leaving happily, Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "It's really easy to pick one, but it seems a bit difficult for me, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed."

"Mom, do you think so too?" Du Xiaoyu laughed straight, "Then why don't you remind my aunt that she is still dreaming sweetly, how beautiful it is to find a beautiful wife who can earn money!" A lot of people proposed marriage, and some big families took a fancy to her beauty, and many wanted to marry her as a concubine.

"It's better to let her get stuck. In the past, she has been bumped into by others, and she doesn't know it hurts." Mrs. Zhao can't do anything about it. This younger sister is also disobedient, and she only knows to turn around when she encounters difficulties.

It seems that only Zhao Dongzhi was blindfolded by herself, and the people around her were all sharp-eyed. Du Xiaoyu shook her head amusedly, "But Miss Ruan is indeed a nice person, and I don't know who is worthy of our village."

"I don't care how old I am when I talk about what other people are doing." Du Xian glared at her immediately.

Du Xiaoyu quickly found an excuse and slipped away.
