Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 166

The marriage letter was delivered, the dowry was set, and when Shao Jingbo came back, Lin Qingran was looking at several houses for more than a month, and there were a few that he liked.

When I was young, I couldn’t express my opinion. It was only a few months when Shao Jingbo lived here. Now when he heard that his family was going to change houses, he came up and made some suggestions, "Mom, it’s better to choose a bigger one nearby. .”

Lin Qingran patted his forehead, "How much did you drink?"

He even rinsed his mouth and changed his clothes when he entered the door, and he smelled it all. Shao Jingbo shook his head, "Brother Chen is polite, so I offered a few glasses of wine. Mother, I think this is not bad, the environment is good, and it is suitable for my sister to take care of herself."

Several houses have basic drawings, main house, yard, garden.

The one that Shao Jingbo pointed to is not too far from the current Shao family. There is a small forest not far behind the house. The environment is quieter. Compared with the current one, the location is slightly out of the way.

"The time of a stick of incense can't be different, and it's not too biased." Shao Jingbo is very picky, looking at the other two, he picks and chooses and doesn't think it's good. It's either too noisy, or the location of the yard in the house is not good, and the feng shui is not good. Come and see, they are all accurate at first sight.

"Okay, go back to the house." Lin Qingran asked him to go back angrily. After Shao Jingbo went out, Lin Qingran called Siqi to come in and asked Guanyan to visit these houses. it is good

It was June, when the lotus was being admired, and not many days after the appointment, the Chen family sent a post, and the Chen family had a banquet in the villa to enjoy the flowers. The future in-laws must be among the invited ones.

Lin Qingran went to the Chen family's villa. Mrs. Chen greeted the guests at the door, saw her, and took her inside with a smile, "Why didn't you bring your sister Ning here?"

"Learning the piano." After walking a few steps in, Lin Qingran pushed her and said, "You are busy with your work, just find someone to take me in." Madam Chen insisted on sending her to the garden gate and asked someone to take her in. After entertaining them well, they went to the door to greet the guests.

Lin Qingran walked into the garden and met his acquainted wife, chatted quickly, found an empty pavilion and sat down, the small lake in the villa was already full of lotus flowers in full bloom.

Perhaps the young master of the Chen family invited his friends. There are still many male family members in the small garden next to the garden, but they can't see it carefully from a distance because of the wall.

There are many topics of conversation between wives, children, family background, groups of concubines in the family, there are more topics, and when it comes to this between the main wife and the main wife, it always seems to be the same.

At this time, Lin Qingran was mostly listening, and couldn't get in the way, let alone express an opinion. If she really said the last sentence, there is no guarantee that someone else would say something sour. This Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao have a really good relationship. For so many years, there has been no such bad thing in the family.

The conversation here was lively, when there was a sudden scream from the lake over there, everyone looked over from the side of the pavilion, someone fell into the water.

Lin Qingran got up and walked over with the wives to have a look. The young master of the Chen family who was entertaining guests in the small garden over there also heard the movement, and all of them gathered by the small lake for a while.

Lin Qingran only heard someone say, "What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and save people!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a cry, "No one come down!" However, there was already the sound of falling into the water, Lin Qingran reached the shore of the lake, and when she saw Miss Chen who was huddled in the lotus leaves, who seemed to be in a good state, she looked dazed. He was startled, and then looked at the man who was struggling to swim to save others, his expression became subtle.

The man was three or four meters away from the Second Miss of the Chen family, and Miss Chen scolded again, "I told you not to come over." Her body shrank back, and everything below her shoulders was submerged in the water, refusing to float up.

"Miss Chen, this is so dangerous, so don't be self-willed." One of the ladies on the shore who had just admired the lotus together, one of them persuaded, this is falling into the water, and it's not a joke.

Ms. Chen ignored them, but looked at the place where the second brother of the Chen family was, and cried anxiously, "Second brother, quickly let your friend go ashore, I'm fine."

"That's right, brother He, you'd better come up." The second young master of the Chen family glanced at his younger sister, but instead persuaded young master He who was already in the water to save someone.

"But your sister." Only then did the young master of the He family feel that he seemed to have done something wrong both inside and out, and hurried over and was the first to jump into the water to ask the hero to save the beauty, but the girl had no intention of saving herself at all.

Lin Qingran saw the expression on the face of the Second Miss of the Chen family who wanted to climb up but was hindered by the crowd, and said, "It's hard to know what to do between men and women, Young Master He, since you don't need your help, you'd better go ashore."

This seems to be a different story of the usual falling into the water. It shouldn't be a woman falling into the water, thumping about to drown, and a man jumping into the lake to save the beauty, and rescued her under the watchful eyes of the crowd. But here, Chen The Second Miss Jia was neither drowning nor needing rescue, she covered herself in the water so that no one could see her drenched appearance.

The Second Miss of the Chen family looked over and saw that it was Lin Qingran, and her expression was even more tangled.

The young master of the He family swam back again, and Mrs. Chen also arrived at this time. Seeing his daughter in the water like this, the first thing he did was to ask his son to quickly take these friends back to the small garden, and then invite all the wives back. When I got out of the pavilion, I called the servant girl to give my daughter dark clothes to cover her wet body before going ashore, and immediately hugged her in my arms, and sent her back to her yard to change.

Back in the pavilion, the wives looked at Lin Qingran with a hint of ambiguity. Everyone knew that the Chen family and the Shao family were married, and the second lady of the Chen family told the young master of the Shao family What does it feel like for a future mother-in-law to see her future daughter-in-law in a mess.

"How could it fall into the water?" After a moment of silence, one of them broke the embarrassment, and could fall while enjoying flowers by the lake.

Lin Qingran's gaze fell to the lakeside. The girls who were with the Second Miss Chen were still there, and the lady who said that the Second Miss Chen was wayward was also there. Lin Qingran asked the lady on the side, "Then what?" One is a lady from which family."

The lady looked over, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "What about her, the fourth miss of the Qin family."

"Which Qin family?" Lin Qingran looked away, and the wives also wanted to get along well, and no one wanted to mention the matter of Mrs. Shao's future daughter-in-law falling into the water, so she explained Lin Qingran's confusion, "That's right. The Marquis of Qin’s mansion where Xiu and Princess Dachang lived, but the fourth lady is the second wife of the Marquis of Qin’s mansion, not the eldest.”

Lin Qingran nodded. She had never seen the fourth miss of the Qin family, but she felt that something was not right when she said that just now, not to mention how she fell into the water. A girl of this age doesn't know whether a man and a woman can kiss each other. Look, everyone. The Second Miss of the Chen family is fine, but she said that other people are wayward and should be rescued by the young master of the He family. Once rescued, the girl's family's reputation will be ruined if she wears thin clothes in this weather and gets wet.

Seeing a maid passing by over there, Lin Qingran got up, "You guys are chatting." She walked to the end of the corridor and asked about Miss Chen's second lady's yard.

When we arrived at Miss Chen's second lady's yard, Mrs. Chen was coming out and met Lin Qingran. Mrs. Chen had a look of apology on her face, "Mrs. Shao, I'm really sorry about today's matter."

"How is the person?" Lin Qingran waved her hand to signal her to stop talking, "The most important thing is that the person is fine."

"It's okay. The water on the shore of the lake is shallow and not deep. Yuqing happens to know some water skills, so it's okay." Mrs. Chen took her in, and she was more concerned about what this incident would cause in Lin Qingran's heart The impression, what I saw with my own eyes, is not a good thing.

Speaking of entering the house, Chen Yuqing changed clothes and leaned on the bed when she entered the inner room. Seeing that Lin Qingran was about to get up, Lin Qingran went over and held her shoulder, "You don't need to get up."

"Mrs. Shao, I made you laugh." Chen Yuqing's cheeks flushed slightly, which was really embarrassing.

"Yuqing, how did you fall on the shore of this lake?" Lin Qingran sat down and asked her.

"Miss Qin Si and the others also wanted to enjoy the flowers when they came over. I stood with the third miss of the Yan family. I was closer to the shore. They came and squeezed into Miss Yan San. I wanted to block her and support her, but I didn't see it. Be careful, your feet will slip and you will fall."

"Are you familiar with the Fourth Miss of the Qin family?" Lin Qingran nodded and asked her, Chen Yuqing shook her head, "I'm not very familiar, but I've only met a few times."

Mrs. Chen beside her said, "Second Mrs. Qin was invited here, she brought Miss Qin Fourth." It wasn't that Chen Yuqing wrote a post to invite acquaintances to come to Chen's Villa.

"Do they know you know how to swim?" Lin Qingran patted her hand to reassure her not to be nervous.

"I don't know, only family members know." That was when she worked as a foreigner with her father when she was very young, and the place where she worked as a foreigner was the seaside, and she learned it at that time.

Mrs. Chen realized something. Waiting for Lin Qingran to come out, Mrs. Chen asked her in a low voice, "Is this pushed into the water on purpose?"

"I'm not sure, but this small garden is so far away. We heard voices here, but we heard voices there so quickly. It's really strange that we arrived at the lake one step earlier than us." When Lin Qingran reached the shore of the lake Then Young Master He has already jumped into the water and swam to save people, how fast he has to run to have this speed.

Mrs. Chen's face darkened when she heard this. She fell into the water and was rescued by a man. How could she not know what it means to be in the public? If her daughter knows water today, the water in this lake is not deep. It was ruined, and the marriage with the Shao family was also suspended.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Chen looked at Lin Qingran with a smile, "Mrs. Shao, I will send you out first. What happened today surprised you too."

"It's good that the child is fine. I don't need to think about it. I'm still waiting for her to be my daughter-in-law." After Lin Qingran finished speaking, the smile on Mrs. Chen's face became more sincere, as if she had taken a reassurance. The incident had no effect on the marriage of the two families.

After Lin Qingran left, before all the guests had left, Madam Chen immediately sent someone to investigate, first to investigate this young master, and then to investigate this fourth miss of the Qin family
After Lin Qingran returned home, she was a little worried, so she sent someone to check on the Fourth Miss of the Qin family and this Young Master He. After a few days, there was nothing wrong with it, but it was rumored in Luodu that such a thing had been said. The young lady fell into the water in her own villa and was rescued drenched. At that time, she saw many people, and there were also friends invited by the second young master of the Chen family.

It doesn't make it clear who was rescued, let alone that what they saw was falling into the water, not the situation of being rescued, or it is ambiguous to let people guess, who is so malicious to destroy Chen. The reputation of the second young lady of the family will disturb the marriage of Chen Shao's family.

After Lin Qingran learned about it, she immediately sent someone to testify about this matter, and she also explained all the facts clearly. How could anyone know to rescue them in such a timely manner.

Mrs. Shao, the future mother-in-law of the Second Miss of the Chen family witnessed all of this with her own eyes. The second Miss of the Chen family did not lose her reputation and was not looked down upon by others. , That would lead to speculation and criticism.

On the side of the Chen family, Mrs. Chen also reported to the officials immediately. Whoever is worried about ruining her daughter's reputation with good intentions, who is spreading the rumors and where it came from, is clearly and clearly revealed. How can the reputation of the daughter's family be tolerated by others? Random planting.
