Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 38

The letter was mainly concerned about whether Lin Qingran was frightened, and the matter of Miss Jin Jiasan was only mentioned briefly. Lin Qingyan did not go into details about Jin Xiangrong's insanity, but only reminded Lin Qingran in the letter to keep this matter a secret.

This was related to the Jin family's affairs, and even the second sister asked her to keep it a secret, so Lin Qingran dispelled her doubts and stopped thinking about it.

Just one day after receiving the letter, Mrs. Jin San came to apologize in person.

Mrs. Lu received her, but the reason for Mrs. Jin San's apology was that Lin Qingran was bumped by a locked maid when she was in the Jin family, and she was a little frightened. The lady personally came to apologize.

"Qing Ran didn't talk about it when she came back, the third lady has a heart." After listening to Lu, it's not a big deal, there's no need to come to the door to say it.

"I didn't come here specifically to tell you about this." Mrs. Jin San smiled, "Come here today, I'm here to inquire about things with you shamelessly."

Hearing what she said, Lu shi humbly said, "I usually don't go out of the door without leaving the door."

"Who isn't?" Mrs. Jin waved her hand, "I was also entrusted by others, so I won't play tricks with you. The fifth girl in your family will be thirteen next year."

Mrs. Lu was startled, then understood what she meant, and nodded, "It's still a child."

"You said you are still a child. It's a matter of choice. I will get married soon after two or three years." It was also through the in-law relationship between the Jin family and the Lin family. Mrs. Jin San looked at her face and said with a smile, "Before Someone asked, and I thought to myself, how could I have the nerve to ask, but someone asked me to ask again last month, and I couldn't hide something in my heart, so I wanted to ask you when I came back this time. "

Mrs. Lu reached out to fill her with tea, and smiled, "It's also strange, I don't have anyone to ask about it, but I went to the third lady."

"Who says it's not." Mrs. Jin San picked up the cup and took a sip, holding the cup in one hand, and said calmly, "I have come to you to ask, Zi Chou Yinmao, it's easy to ask someone else."

"I don't know which two families it is." Mrs. Jin San said so, and Lu asked her who she asked her to ask. After hearing it, she was quite surprised, "Zhao family?"

Mrs. Jin San nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Zhao came to ask earlier. I shirked it once. Although the Jin family and the Lin family are related by marriage, how can I know these things? She also said that I should ask Qing Yan , I thought it would be better to ask you directly, probably because the children are young now, it would not be appropriate for Mrs. Zhao to ask Mrs. Lin directly."

Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Mrs. Jin, "Third Mrs., if someone still asks in the future, please answer it for us. Now that the child is still young, it is too early to talk about this marriage, so there is no need to inquire about it."

"I know what you said." Mrs. Jin San drank tea and glanced at the sky outside the window, "I forgot what time I said, and I have to go to the cloth village, so I won't disturb Mrs. Lin. A few days ago I'm really sorry for Fifth Miss about the matter of Tianjin's family."

Mrs. Lu got up and sent her out personally, "It's okay if the child didn't say anything, don't worry about the third lady."

After seeing Mrs. Jin away, Mrs. Lu turned back and didn't go back to Luoyingyuan, but went to listen to Nuan Pavilion. Lin Qingran was learning from the embroidered lady, and it was almost time, so Mrs. Lu asked the embroidered lady to go back first and take her with her. Seeing Lin Qingran enter the inner room, she asked about the incident at Jin's house a few days ago.

After receiving the letter from the second sister, Lin Qingran thought there was nothing to say, but she didn't expect Mrs. Jin San to come again in person.

"Mother, I'm really fine." Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to cover her forehead, "Since Mrs. Jin San came here, the maid who ran out must have scared you, why don't you hire a woman to marry you?" Take a look."

"You don't need to invite me, mother." Lin Qingran shook her head hurriedly. Don't be kidding. A year ago, Xiaoqi was startled by a cat that jumped out of nowhere and had a high fever. The family invited a Taoist woman to summon her soul. Xiao Qi drank a bowl of talisman paper mixed with water and burned to ashes, saying that it was for soul sedation, so she didn't want to drink this.

Lin Qingran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mrs. Lu was no longer interested, and thought of Mrs. Jin who came over and said to her mother, "Mother, how many other girls does the Jin family have besides sister Jin from the big house?"

"There are two girls in the second room, and they are both married now. The third room has a second daughter and a son. The third girl of the Jin family has been ill at home and has never married. She is one year younger than your second sister. The youngest Miss Fifth should be only one or two years older than you, and she is old enough to discuss marriage."

Even my mother didn't know that Miss Jin San was an idiot. Could it be that both father and mother didn't know when they talked about kissing? The president is sick at home and hasn't married yet."

Lu patted her hand, "You are so curious about what the Jin family is doing."

"I'll just ask."

"I've seen it a few times. The two wives of the Jin family got acquainted before your sister married. The third lady of the Jin family is a quiet girl. I met once five or six years ago. Then she suddenly became seriously ill and has never been there. After recovering, I heard that she has been bedridden, so the Jin family didn't say anything about marriage for her, and planned to take care of her forever."

When Mrs. Lu left Ting Nuan Pavilion, Lin Qingran was still thinking about what she said just now, and finally she looked up at Si Qin, "Si Qin, look at the third lady of the Jin family, is there something wrong with her?"

"According to what I saw, Miss Jin San seemed to have been stimulated by something and went crazy." The last word Siqin said very lightly, Lin Qingran nodded, "Mother said she was normal in the past, and then the Jin family said The long-term illness and being unable to see people should be to cover up the fact that she is crazy." How can such a thing be known to outsiders? It is better to have a daughter who has not recovered from a long-term illness than a crazy daughter at home. There are ladies who have not left the court, so it is naturally impossible to be affected by this matter.

She ran into Miss Jin San running out by accident, and the second sister wrote to her. Mrs. Jin San made an apology this time, rather than worrying about it, remind her again, "Si Qin, since Mrs. Jin San said It was the servant girl who bumped into me, so you should treat it like this."

Si Qin nodded. Lin Qingran naturally still had doubts in her heart. She didn't know how others felt, but when Miss Jin San pulled her to talk to her, she could clearly feel Miss Jin San's fear and despair. Qingran didn't know what she had experienced to become like this, it was just that it could make a person become like this after being stimulated, such a change must not be small.

"Miss, if you are curious, why don't you ask Second Miss."

"It's a private matter of the Jin family. The second sister is the daughter-in-law of the Jin family. I can't make things difficult for her just to satisfy my curiosity." Lin Qingran shook her head, "Go and get the things from Pingting Pavilion."

For Lin Qingran, the affairs of the Jin family were just a small episode. As the Chinese New Year approached, in December, besides Pingting Pavilion's tent for the whole year, she would also help take care of the Yangshanfang on West Street.

For Lin Wenxi and his wife, Mrs. Kim's visit to inquire about her daughter's marriage is just the beginning.

Mrs. Lu felt strange when she heard about the Zhao family, and when Lin Wenxi came back to talk about it, Mrs. Lu felt that the behavior of the Zhao family was not right.

After much deliberation, she still felt that it was an old problem, and Lu looked at Lin Wenxi, "Master, look at this Concubine Shu, has she not given up on this idea, the fourth prince will be sixteen next year."

"How can Concubine Shu have such a great right to decide the marriage of the fourth prince." Lin Wenxi shook his head, "The marriage between the prince and the second prince and the third prince was not hand-picked by the Holy One." How could the emperor hand over this decision to a harem concubine.

"When I hear about the Zhao family, I will think of Concubine Shu. You said it's been so many years." Lu was also glad that the relationship was cleared up early. She looked at these concubines, even the queen and the concubine are still personalities.

"She wants to win over the Lin family for the fourth prince." Lin Wenxi patted her on the shoulder, "She has no control over the fourth prince's affairs, nor can she be in charge of the Zhao family's affairs."

The Lin family is really a big piece of meat in Luodu City now. In the past, the Lu family gave birth to daughters one after another. Those who looked down on the Lin family made fun of them. Now the daughters are all grown up, saying they are married and married. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Lin University scholar is really a good player. It is the He family and the Jin family. The fourth lady of the Lin family who is not yet married is not bad. of.

With so many sons, the prince was not liked by the prince in the early years, and now the prince's gentle nature is still not liked by the prince, so the princes are so active in private. Naturally, there are sons in the harem Concubine is also quite active.

There are too many people who want to win over Lin Wenxi, but Lin Wenxi is so stubborn that he gave all four daughters to his disciples, so now there are more people who want to worship him as a teacher, saying that it is because of his talent and knowledge. The favor in front of the Holy One might as well be said to go to the three daughters of the Lin family who have not yet been settled.

How could Lin Wenxi not see through Concubine Shu's move, "None of the few embroidered pillows from the Zhao family are suitable for our little five, and the fourth prince is gone. Concubine Shu wants the Zhao family to marry our Lin family "When they get married, they are grasshoppers tied to a rope, but the Lin family tied a bunch of ropes, and put a foot in the middle. If something happens in the future, it will be a large group of grasshoppers.

The prince is not interested in arguing that the Lu family is not interested. She pushed Lin Wenxi and warned him, "It's because you told your big girls to your students that so many people think that the fifth girl's marriage is the same. But I warn you, I don't like any of your students, I will decide the fifth girl's marriage!"

"Don't worry." Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Lin Wenxi hurried to appease him. Over the past few years, he has been squeezed by his wife because of the He family's affairs, "Isn't Wu girl still young?"

"Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. I'll put my words here first. I don't like that Meng Xian. What others say about him is promising. I will be the second you in the future. I don't care about that." Lu Shi warned him word by word, Lin Wenxi's face turned pale, don't talk about Xiao Wu's marriage, let alone him, I am afraid that even his wife will not be able to decide in the future.

Thinking of this, it might be the result of sleeping next door, Lin Wenxi quickly changed the subject, "The Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday will be in the third month of the new year. She has been worshiping Buddha for many years and doesn't like extravagance. The Holy One is asking all the ministers for this matter. Views."
