Chapter 121 The Third Miss of the Jin Family

In mid-June, the weather in Luodu City gradually entered summer. Lin Qingran went out early in the morning, and the carriage arrived at the gate of the Jin Mansion, and the sun was already scalding hot.

Si Hua opened the umbrella, there was already a servant girl from Second Sister's yard waiting at the door.

Walking all the way to the Second Sister's courtyard, the Jin Mansion has not changed much. It is the same as when I came here a few years ago. The little maid who picked her up seemed very enthusiastic. She doesn't look like she married from the Lin Mansion, but with this temperament, It is easy to please the second sister.

Arriving at the second sister's yard and entering the house, Lin Qingyan was instructing the affairs of the Jin Mansion with a few mothers in charge. Lin Qingran walked in, and Lin Qingyan put the ledger away and took her into the house.

When the two sisters talked, Lin Qingyan also said it directly, "I also asked the third aunt what you wrote in your letter, but I heard about this Shao's family, so it is inevitable that I have something else to say."

Luodu City is so big, who doesn't know something about the Shao family, and the current reputation of the Shao family is really not good.

"The second aunt said that after we get married, the sixth brother and his wife will move out of Shao's mansion. My husband and I are also living outside now. It doesn't matter if we go back every year or holiday." Lin Qingran didn't insist on saying The reason for this marriage is that the second uncle and the second aunt are really good people, and the sixth brother is also a calm person. The daughter's family will marry and will not be treated badly.

"It's not bad if you live outside." Lin Qingyan nodded, "Isn't the eldest master of the Shao family promoted in Shao's mansion now? I'm afraid that the family of the second master of the Shao family will have a hard time. In fact, the third uncle's official position It's not high, the Jin family was in decline back then, and they didn't have any titles, so the identities of the two children are suitable for matching."

Lin Qingyan thought for a while, "You have a lot of contact with the second master and the old lady of the Shao family, do you think it's reliable?"

"Second sister, no matter how familiar you are, there is a side that you don't know, but the second uncle and the second aunt are really good to me and my husband. They said in front of me that they would let the sixth brother move out after marriage. That is also true. I am sure, the matter of the Shao family has nothing to do with the younger generation." Lin Qingran smiled and said, "Just explain the matter clearly to the third lady and see if she has such a meaning. If so, please call back Tell me, if Second Aunt wants to propose marriage, she can prepare for it."

"You don't know." Lin Qingyan sighed, "There is such a person in the mansion, and we are cautious about marriage or marriage. Let alone the marriage of the sixth girl, even the marriage of me, Da Lang Erlang, has to be done. Think about it carefully."

"Second sister, then what's going on with this third lady." Seeing her mentioning it again, Lin Qingran couldn't help asking, "I met her once at the Jin's house, and you said she was sick. Look at it like crazy."

Lin Qingyan looked at her, "It would be good if she was really sick, but if it's just sick, then the girl from the Jin family wouldn't be so difficult to say goodbye."

When Lin Qingyan talked to her, the expression on Lin Qingran's face became more and more surprised. It turned out that Sister Jin, the Fourth Miss of the Jin family and the Zhu family could not get married. Not only did the Zhu family look down on them, it was also for this reason. .

"She is crazy, so the Jin family pays special attention to the character of the husband's family when choosing a marriage for their children. If such a thing is told and let others know, how will this girl of the Jin family marry in the future?" Lin Qingyan It was full of sighs when she said it, but she was surprised when she knew this when she married into the Jin family.

"Xiang Rong has been very smart since she was a child. I heard from my husband that if she is not crazy, she is also a talented woman in Luodu City. She must be able to marry very well, but it is because of her cleverness that she has a very big idea since she was a child. independent thinking."

"Three uncles and three aunts doted on her, and they didn't spoil her. On the contrary, she is a very kind person. She is very kind to the servants in the mansion. When it's hot, she even sends people to the long-term workers who work in the outer courtyard." Bring water and food."

That's how things happened. Jin Xiangrong would occasionally watch from a distance to send people to give water to those long-term workers, and occasionally when he went out and passed the outer courtyard, he would meet one or two.

Originally, there was no chance to meet him like this, but he happened to meet like this.

"The long-term worker's name is Ahe." Lin Qingyan said slowly, "Once Xiang Rong went to the front yard to deliver water to them, and he stood quite far away, but there are pavilions being built around here, and there are people coming and going. The long-term worker was carrying the wood, and a wooden board on the pavilion was not stable, and suddenly fell, the long-term worker pushed Xiang Rong away, and he was hit by the wooden board, and the nails on the wooden board were directly embedded in his back."

Isn't this the beginning of the love story between the daughter of the mansion and the servant? Lin Qingran can also imagine the subsequent emotional development. The third miss of the Jin family is so kind, and a long-term worker was injured in order to save her. Naturally, he gave medicine again. I still look for opportunities to visit. I don't have the opportunity to have much contact with men in my boudoir. After going back and forth like this, with a grateful heart, it is easy to have some feelings.

"I can't tell who was interested in whom first. The maid next to Xiang Rong is so guarded. By the time the Jin family finds out, Xiang Rong is already pregnant." Lin Qingyan paused, didn't she? I have seen the situation at that time, but from my husband's description, it was very tragic.

"For the Jin family, a young lady who has not left the cabinet has a relationship with a long-term worker and has a child. That is a great shame. I begged my third uncle and aunt to let her go with the long-term worker. The long-term worker was beaten and imprisoned in the chai In the room, this kind of thing can't be sent to the official, and the Jin family's reputation was damaged in the end, and Xiang Rong threatened the third uncle and the third aunt that if something happened to Ah He, she would not want to live anymore."

"But the long-term worker, is he really sincere to her?" It's not for the power and power of the Jin family, it's not for the sake of climbing high, if you really love, you have to consider the reputation of the girl's family.

Lin Qingyan smiled, "I asked the same question."

The Jin family gave Ah He a lot of money, asking him to go away and not come back, but he refused. He knelt down and begged the Jin family to agree to let him be with Jin Xiangrong, even if they were not worthy, even if he would let her live a hard life, he would He will do his best, he will join the army, he will go to the front line, he will fight for military merits, and he will never treat her badly.

"Later, Xiang Rong escaped and brought money to Ah He, asking him to leave the Jin family. She knew that if he refused to leave, his third uncle and third aunt would kill him. Ah He refused to leave her alone. The mansion was punished and they wanted to take her with them. That was the door she took you to when you came to the Jin mansion that day. They were caught and Xiang Rong begged him to leave, but he refused to leave and knelt down. He kowtowed on the ground and begged, and finally, he was beaten until he died in front of Xiang Rong."

Lin Qingyan paused, her eyes were moist, "Xiang Rong couldn't bear the stimulation, and fainted on the spot. After waking up, she knew that she didn't even have a child. After she passed out, she would go crazy when she woke up again. Listen to those The maid said that during the acquaintance between Xiang Rong and A He, A He was working hard to save money, and he would not accept what Xiang Rong gave him, and he would go out to do odd jobs when he was free. Joining the army, marry Jin Xiangrong with a sense of style, and you won't wrong her."

This is what the Jin family has been hiding and dare not tell others. There is such a crazy lady in the Jin family, and she is still crazy in this way. Killing a long-term worker seems to be nothing to the Jin family, but to Jin Xiangrong For her, her whole world was shattered.

"The third uncle and the third aunt have been looking for doctors and medicines all these years. They want to cure her. I think it's better to be crazy like this all the time and not remember."

Listening to the second sister's words, Lin Qingran remembered that Miss Jin San was pulling her, running towards the door, pushing her to let her go, saying that the people who grabbed her were bad people. It's not that she didn't remember, she subconsciously She has never forgotten this memory, that's why she felt that the Jin family wanted to harm her, and would tell her to run away when they met her. She just forgot about herself and the long-term worker.

This is love, there is no right or wrong and love of identity. In modern times, such a match is unacceptable to many people, not to mention in this world where the concept of family status is very heavy and women's chastity is the most precious world, Jin Xiangrong is Made an intolerable mistake.

"Will the Jin family have a permanent burial job in the future?" Lin Qingran calmed down for a while, then raised her head and asked her second sister.

Lin Qingyan shook her head, "The Jin family hated him so much, how could they bury him properly, wrapped them in a mat and threw them on the barren grave." Throwing them in such a place, the mountain beasts came over, and within a few days everything was gone.

"The young children actually don't know about this matter. The third aunt is afraid of meeting bad people and revealing these things, which will affect the Jin family."

"Don't they regret it?" The proud daughter was so crazy. If she had been given a chance at the beginning, instead of being so decisive, maybe it would not be the case now.

"What's the use of regretting? For a while, Xiang Rong's illness improved for a while, but then it got worse again." After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she looked at Lin Qingran, "The reason why the second sister told you is because she knew that you also Some guesses, you are crazy and tell you that you are sick."

Leaving the Jin family, Lin Qingran's mood inevitably became a little depressed. The third miss of the Jin family made a deep impression on her that time, and she wanted to leave and escape by herself hysterically. One can imagine the situation back then, looking at her beloved How can a person not collapse when he is beaten silently in front of him.

It was only noon when I returned to Shao's house, and Mother Li brought a food box from the kitchen. Someone sent a letter at the door, saying it was from Pengzhou.

Lin Qingran opened it and saw that it was the letter from Yuan Chengzhi, the son of the cook Yuan Shi. This year, the Spring Children's Examination was held, and Yuan Chengzhi was selected as a scholar. bring them all.

In the letter, Yuan Chengzhi didn't forget to greet Lin Qingran and Shao Ziyu, and he also paid special attention to Brother Han. At a young age, the lines between the lines revealed maturity.

When Lin Qingran and the others left Pengcheng, the three members of Yuan's family lived in the same house that Jiu Lao Qi and the others lived in. Jiu Lao Qi charged them a symbolic amount of rent. With a place to stay, the two children would not have to Running around with Yuan Shi, after all, she is a cook from the magistrate, it is much easier for Yuan Shi to find a job. Although it is tiring to raise two children, it is not a problem.

Aunt Yuan's daughter is also at the age where she is about to marry, and Yuan Chengzhi has won a scholar, so Fu'er's marriage must be much easier to talk about.

Lin Qingran put the letter away, and the news from the second sister came back very quickly. She had only been back for more than an hour, and Lin Qingyan went to Mrs. Jin San to inquire about her intentions, and sent someone to write back to her.

There is nothing to be picky about the third family of the Jin family. Although they have not separated and still live together, the Jin family does not have a title. The prosperity of the past cannot be taken seriously, and the official position of the third master of the Jin family is just like that. Therefore, According to Mrs. Jin San's words, such a marriage is also possible.

Lin Qingran didn't stop, and immediately wrote a letter to be sent to Shao's house to the second aunt. The marriage of the sixth brother depends on how the second uncle and the second aunt decide.

It was also she who had just handed over the letter to Siqi and asked her to find someone to deliver it, and someone came to the gate again, this time it was not a letter delivery, but a post delivery.

Lin Qingran also sighed with emotion that there were a lot of things to do in just these two hours. He opened the invitation and took a look, heh, it was still the invitation from the He family. The former eldest brother-in-law He Chengsheng was going to get married in September. The Shao Mansion has sent wedding invitations, inviting Shao Ziyu and Lin Qingran to attend the wedding banquet at that time!
