Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 122 Who Has Thick Skin

He left in February, and it's only June. The He family has already found a marriage for He Chengsheng. Lin Qingran flipped through the wedding invitation up and down. Mrs. He is really in a hurry to find another marriage for He Chengsheng on the terms of the He family. It's not difficult, but it's not easy to choose the right one. Whoever is willing to marry a young girl to a man who can be her father, but no matter what Mrs. He Erlao thinks she likes, they won't marry the girl to him. He, therefore, Mrs. He Er chose a mid-range one for her precious son.

There are officials of the fifth, sixth and seventh ranks in many small counties outside Luodu City. Most of these officials have no strength in their families and cannot fight in the court, so they can only fall like this.

So a big family like the He family is something they dare not even think about. There is such a good marriage as the eldest son of the second wife, so why not marry in and be the second wife.

Lin Qingran put the wedding invitation on the table, and no one came to look for it after lunch and nap. When Shao Ziyu came back at night, Lin Qingran showed him the wedding invitation with a sarcasm, "Sure enough, he doesn't care at all. If you don’t suffer, you can still marry another young and beautiful girl with yellow flowers, and Mrs. He Er can have an obedient daughter-in-law.”

Although the wedding invitation was for the Shao family and not for the Lin family, Lin Qingran still felt that the He family was extremely shameless, and he was ashamed to marry another one in such a short period of time.

"The seat of the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife of the He family must not be empty." Shao Ziyu patted her on the back, "It's not just our family, maybe your second sister and the others have received it."

Lin Qingran suddenly laughed, feeling very happy no matter what, when the He family sent out this wedding invitation, didn't they meet so many ex-sisters-in-law of He Chengsheng to attend the wedding banquet? He didn't feel embarrassed, everyone felt ashamed .

"If the Jin family also receives it, then the second sister will definitely find a better one for the eldest sister. They marry someone of the fifth or sixth rank, and the eldest sister will marry another one who is better than He Chengsheng, and the He family will be mad." Marry worse than me, I can still marry better than you.

Isn't this just a matter of fighting for breath?

Seeing her angry look, Shao Ziyu said with a smile, "I'll accompany you there later, and let you see what this bride looks like."

"No." Lin Qingran glared at him, she didn't even want to prepare this congratulatory gift

Two days later, Lin Qingran received a letter from the second sister. The He Mansion really sent wedding invitations to the husbands of every married woman in the Lin family. It stands to reason that those who met in the court should be obedient, but this one Just reconciled, would you mind sending me off?

It's a pity that the He family didn't send wedding invitations to the Lin family. Lin Qingyan has a bad temper. Apart from being aggrieved, she really wanted to find a good remarriage for her eldest sister. This was from He Li, and she wasn't thrown away by the He family. With the divorce letter, there is nothing I can't find.

It's just that Lin Qingyan also knew that she thought so, and she definitely couldn't tell her eldest sister now, so she wrote a letter to Lin Qingran, and the sisters secretly thought about it first.

He Chengsheng can marry another young and beautiful girl with yellow flowers as his bride, but the eldest sister can't find a young and handsome boy as her husband. Lin Qingyan set this goal on a widow in Luodu City, who is similar in age and has a different family background. Difference.

Counting the number of sisters, at the end of June, they really found several of them. The family background in Luodu City is good, the wife died of illness a few years ago, and the age is not much older than the elder sister. Not too young, sensible enough to be able to get along with each other, a good look.

There are many sisters in the family, and they know a lot of people. Lin Qingran lives alone here, so she will not be known by others, and it is safe enough. The sisters all gathered at her house to discuss who is suitable.

Xiao Qi is about to give birth, so she can't rush over here, and she doesn't forget to write a letter to send a maid to express her opinion. Xiao Liu sat there and agreed with what the second sister said, "I think what the second sister said is good, why should I ask?" Marrying and leaving Luodu City, the eldest sister did nothing wrong, she is reconciled, so who dares to say gossip."

Fourth sister Lin Qingyun looked at her helplessly, "Then it's up to you."

"Father's official university, I think it's not bad for a bachelor's degree. There are three daughters in the family, and two daughters are married. Although the youngest daughter is only ten years old, she is also sensible. It has been five or six years since his wife died of illness. There is no one in the family. Concubine's room." Lin Qingyue pointed to one of the notebooks, and then pointed to the other, "This one is also good, but the military commander is not too fierce, his hands and feet are too thick and he doesn't know what to do when he hurts others." He said with this face It's still troublesome.

Lin Qingran laughed, and pinched her cheek, "I said you are so picky, but have you ever asked others for their opinions?"

"Their opinions are not important." The second sister Lin Qingyan put several books on the table, "We have seen it, we have inquired clearly, and we think it is ok, and then I will tell mother, both father and mother agreed, and we will discuss it later." Let's see if the other party is interested, when the time comes when someone else is interested, and the elder sister refuses to agree, then it will be troublesome."

"It's true." The third sister Lin Qingxuan nodded, "Don't look at Eldest Sister who is easy to talk, but if she has an idea in her heart, she can make it up to herself and won't change it. Now that she is like this, I am afraid that Eldest Sister will not remarry."

The sisters were quiet for a while, and Lin Qingran said, "Why don't we go to the eldest sister to find out what's going on, if the eldest sister is determined, it's useless for us to do this."

"Third sister go." Lin Qingyan thought for a while and pointed to Lin Qingxuan, Lin Qingxuan was stunned, "Why should I go, second sister should tell you."

"I'm quick-talking. I said something unpleasant at that time. It's just the opposite. Didn't you persuade the elder sister to give birth to brother Hui? I think you persuaded it well." Lin Qingyan shook her head, "You and the fourth sister are tempered. Rou, it's appropriate for you to persuade me, and Xiao Wu and I will inquire about these people."

"Then I'll go back in two days, so I can't make it too obvious." Lin Qingxuan agreed. The second sister is very imposing. Compared with the He family, the eldest sister must marry a better one.

They said it was a fight, but in fact, they didn't want the eldest sister to stay in the Lin family alone. In the future, when the parents get old, the sisters will be busy with their own affairs. Although they will take care of the eldest sister, there is no one around It is more caring, children always have to leave their side, and in the end, they still want someone to accompany them
It was July, and the dog days came. The sun was shining all day during the day, and it was still steaming at night. Siqi took a few servant girls to splash water in the yard to cool down. It was only after the sun went down for more than an hour that it became cooler.

Lights were raised in the pavilions in the garden. In addition to the hot weather and the non-stop chirping of cicadas, the most suitable thing in summer is the flickering fireflies in the grass in the flower beds.

Lin Qingran had someone make him a bag for catching fireflies. Bo Geer was standing by the edge of the flower bed, shaking the bag in his hand and waving it into the grass, but he caught one, and the rest flew up. Brother Bo happily wanted to come over to show Lin Qingran, but ran away halfway.

Not discouraged, he went back to continue catching. The secretary over there had already helped to catch several, and put them in a small square box made of paper, and put the lid on and put them in a dark place. The flickering fluorescence was very beautiful.

Brother Bo went to the pavilion with the box in his arms, put it on Shao Ziyu's lap, and opened his mouth to eat a peeled grape. He asked Shao Ziyu to pick him up and sit on the stone stool.

Brother Han pushed the plate of peeled grapes to him, and Brother Bo knew that he wanted to share it with his parents, so he squeezed the grapes into Shao Ziyu's mouth with his little hand, and handed another one to Lin Qingran, looking back at the cardboard box The fireflies in the garden, touched by the little hands, had a great time playing.

After enjoying the coolness like this for more than half an hour, when they returned to the house, Lin Qingran was still talking to Shao Ziyu about the people that the second sister had ordered, asking around, and the Lian Dashi was pretty good.

"Your intentions are good, but if they don't marry a young woman and give birth to a son, why choose your eldest sister?" Shao Ziyu couldn't bear to pour cold water on her. My sisters always look good at me, but It may not be the case in the eyes of others.

"Scholar Lian has given birth to three daughters. If he wants to marry again, shouldn't he marry a younger one and give him a son?" Shao Ziyu held her back and said kindly, "It's not about whether he wants to or not. Mrs. Lian passed away five or six years ago, could it be that you were the only ones who fell in love with him, and there were quite a few people who told Mrs. Lian that he was married. Maybe it was because of his young children, or because he missed Mrs. Lian."

Lin Qingran was stunned, and Shao Ziyu pulled her over, "You want to find someone who can accompany and depend on the eldest sister, why not find someone who has sons and daughters, the children are old, married, what he wants The most important thing is to find someone to accompany you until you grow old, that is suitable for eldest sister, do you still want elder sister to have children?"

A few of them have indeed thought about this level, but it is not easy to integrate into another family without children.

At first, the sisters were very excited, but when Shao Ziyu said this, Lin Qingran suddenly became calm, because they thought too easily.

"Then what do you mean."

"What I mean is, since it's for the eldest sister's benefit, there's no need to be so hasty." Shao Ziyu took the booklet she was holding and put it aside, "With so many sisters like you and your father-in-law here, are you afraid you won't find a suitable one? "

Lin Qingran snorted softly, "Yes, I'm not afraid that I won't find a suitable one."

Shao Ziyu chuckled, "It's right to think so."

The husband and wife fell asleep after talking at night, and early the next morning, Ah Jiu hurriedly knocked on the door of the Shao Mansion, saying that a fire broke out in the houses in the north of the city at night, and many people were killed. Lord Shangshu ordered Shao Ziyu to go and check, and Ah Jiu came to pick Shao Ziyu at the gate of Shao's mansion early in the morning.

Lin Qingran vaguely heard Shao Ziyu say something was wrong, and when she woke up again, it was already broad daylight, and Si Qin came in to deliver washing water and talked to Lin Qingran about what happened in the middle of the night last night.

"The maids and women who were on duty outside saw it. The sky in the north of the city was almost burning red. The front, back, left, and right yards all suffered.”

"It's such a big fire." Lin Qingran was stunned, and her reaction was a bit slow, "Then how is this person injured?"

"The ones who were implicated on all sides escaped, that is, the family that caught fire." Si Qin paused, the wooden house was so full of fire, I'm afraid there was nothing left inside.
