Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 46 Don't even bother

In the early morning of August 26th, the boat back to the city docked at the pier in Luodu City, and it was raining lightly. The Lu family's carriage was waiting at the pier, picked up the people, and sent Lin Qingran back to the Lin family first, and then went back to the Lu family. .

Lin Qingran went to Lu's to say hello, and when she returned to Tingnuan Pavilion, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi arrived soon, and they hadn't seen each other for more than two months.

In the end, Xiaoqi Lin Qingyue sat on the couch with her hands on her chin, and she also had some yearning, "Fifth sister is going this trip, I want to go too."

Lin Qinglan nodded, "I want to go too."

The two looked at Lin Qingran together again, and begged her to talk about what happened along the way.

After this chat, it was soon time for lunch.

In the evening Lin Wenxi and his two sons came back, Lin Yunhao and Lin Yunze also pestered Lin Qingran for a long meal and asked, the family had dinner for more than an hour, and in the end it was Lu who urged them one by one to be reluctant to part go back.

I kept telling my younger brothers and sisters like this for several days, and they were all satisfied, so I gave up.

On the day Lin Qingran came back, Luodu City had been raining continuously for several days. Mama Li said that autumn was coming soon, and the rain was slightly cool, waiting for autumn to come after the rain.

The cloudy and rainy days lasted until the beginning of September, and the sky finally cleared up.

The Lin family received a post from the Shao family that the eldest grandson of the third household of the Shao family was one year old and invited the Lin family to attend the birthday party.

It is also because of the imperial decree. Although the matter of giving the marriage has not been settled one by one, this relative will definitely be successful. In the future, it will be a relative with some relationship. As a return gift, Mrs. Lu thought about it, and decided to go to the first birthday banquet, and take a look at the Shao family by the way.

On September [-]th, the first birthday banquet of the eldest grandson of the third wife of the Shao family.

Although it is a third bedroom, it is also a post in the name of Shao's family. Many people came to the birthday party, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wei, who had been close to each other, came with them.

In the banquet living room of the Shao family, things are already set up for the children to catch up with.

The people in the front are all members of the Shao family, and the Lu family will not join in the fun. They chatted with a few ladies they knew, and after a while, laughter came from the other side, thinking that the child caught something that made people happy. thing.

Mrs. Lu didn't see Mrs. Shao until the dinner was opened. Mrs. Wei, who was sitting, lowered her voice and said, "You can see, I only see this Mrs. Shao and the third lady. It is said that the second lady is not feeling well. If you didn't come, the fourth wife just met once." The second wife of Shao didn't come to understand, the fourth room of Shao's family and the third room of the big house belong to the same mother, so there is no such ties.

When a lady next to Mrs. Wei heard her mentioning the fourth lady, she pursed her lips and smiled, as if there was a bit of gloating in her smile, "The fourth lady is probably recuperating in the house."

Mrs. Lu had also inquired about the Shao family before. The fourth master of the Shao family had a bad temper. He was still a drinker, and his wine taste was not good when he was drunk. It is not known whether the fourth lady's injury was caused by the fall or other reasons.

There are many people in the family, and there are many things to do. Some people can have a lot of things in one room, let alone the five-room people in the Shao family.

Waiting for all the dishes to be served here, Mrs. Shao's third wife, Mrs. Wu, waited for her son who had rushed back from the dust. The first thing Shao Ziming came back was to visit his one-year-old nephew. When he left, the second brother had just gotten married. , this time, the child will call someone.

Shao Ziming was teasing the child, and Wu Shi patted him on the back and scolded him with a smile, "There are no rules or distances. When you come back this time, you are not allowed to secretly go to Yanzhou again if you are not married. If you dare to go back, I will marry you a wife and send you there."

This time Shao Ziming cooperated, "Mother, if you choose someone I like for me, my son will definitely stay at home obediently, waiting to get married."

Wu Shi was amused by him, scolded shamelessly, and went out to greet the guests.

Shao Ziming went outside and greeted his second brother. The two brothers talked for a while. Shao Zihan was a serious person. After chatting for a few words, he began to talk about major events in Shao Ziming's life. It's so boring to mention this spoiler."

Shao Zihan looked at him helplessly, "The Holy Majesty has bestowed a marriage on the fifth younger brother, so you should take it easy, who else do you want to fall behind?"

"Your Majesty bestowed a marriage on Fifth Brother?" Shao Ziming was slightly surprised, "When did the imperial decree come down, and you still have the heart to give Fifth Brother a marriage?"

"You don't know about the imperial decree issued three months ago. Fifth Brother, with his temperament, actually saved a girl on the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, and even got injured himself."

Hearing this, Shao Ziming was even more surprised, "I really don't know." In the eyes of their brothers, the fifth younger brother raised by his grandfather has always been taciturn, to be precise, he should not speak, and he has no interest in anything Attitude, when he saw something falling down on the road, he even glanced lazily, how could he save someone.

At the end, Shao Ziming smiled, "Second brother, the emperor bestowed the marriage on the girl from the fifth brother's heroic family, right?"

Shao Zihan nodded, "Yes, the daughter of a Bachelor of the Lin family, the fifth girl of the Lin family."

Hearing about the Lin family again, Shao Ziming was startled for a moment, but his expression turned to look pity. Although he didn't know the ages of so many daughters in the Lin family, since the fifth younger brother was married, it should be when he was about to marry. The girl Lin I met in Zhouzhou looked at her age, it was not the right time.

Such an interesting girl turned out to be my future sister-in-law
A few days after attending the Shao family's birthday banquet, Mrs. Shao and Mrs. Shao came to the Lin family to propose marriage.

If there was any reason why it wasn't spread when the imperial decree was issued, now that the Shao family came to propose marriage so ostentatiously, everyone in Luodu City knew the story of the five young masters of the Shao family who rescued the beauty and finally embraced the beauty.

I don't know how to get the news. There are also rumors that the fifth young master of the Shao family and the fifth miss of the Lin family met in the palace six years ago. At that time, the emperor gave them a pair of chess pieces, one of them held the chessboard, and the other Holding the chess piece, now the Holy Majesty bestows a marriage to match the chess piece with the chessboard, so that the two become one in the end.

It was a hero who saved the beauty, and it was also a good match from heaven. When the rumors reached Lin Qingran's ears, she got a name. Her marriage to Shao Ziyu was a match of chess.

It's all good words, no, Lin Qingran doubts about the fate of chess, maybe the emperor himself sent someone to spread the word, what happened six years ago, and there were so few people present at that time, who can remember it so clearly.

Si Qin walked in, holding a brocade box in her arms, saying that it was sent by the fifth young master of the Shao family.

Opening the box, there was nothing else in the brocade box, but there was a thick stack of letters, which seemed to have been written not long ago, and the order of each letter was marked. Lin Qingran opened the first letter and read it.

When she saw the fourth letter, Lin Qingran smiled.

The contents of the letter are serious and there is no joke at all, but Lin Qingran just couldn't help but want to laugh. From the first letter introducing herself, to the fourth letter, Shao Ziyu told the Shao family up and down, from Shaohou The master has introduced all kinds of maids who came to serve him, and the names of the mothers in charge have their positions next to their names, and there are a dozen or so words of evaluation next to them.

At the end of the fourth letter, there is also the concluding remarks written by Shao Ziyu: This is the person you may meet in the Shao family in the future, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, I am here.

Lin Qingran smirked, put down the fourth letter, there were still a lot in the box, and simply moved the place where she read the letter, Lin Qingran sat on the couch, opened the fifth letter and read it.

The fifth letter wrote about the courtyard where he lives now, and the courtyard where they will live when they get married in the future, Chenxiang Courtyard. In the letter, Shao Ziyu stated that this was the place where the fifth master and fifth wife of the Shao family lived in the past, and also said that it is now The courtyard is being repaired for marrying her in the future, Shao Ziyu hopes that she will not dislike the Chenxiang courtyard as her former residence.

In the letter, Shao Ziyu also wrote about the reasons for the death of the five masters of the Shao family and his wife. Lin Qingran suppressed her smile, seeing the calm emotions between the lines, but for some reason, she read a bit sad.

There were still three letters in the box. Lin Qingran slowly reached out and opened the sixth letter. Shao Ziyu really turned the Shao family upside down for her to see. This letter is the introduction of the relationship between the fifth house of the Shao family. .

The second and fifth rooms of the Shao family were born to Mrs. Shao who has passed away, and the third and fourth rooms of the big house were born to the current old Mrs. Shao. Lin Qingran was surprised. After guessing the whereabouts of the Shao family's title, Shao Ziyu wrote that the first emperor said that Ping's wife was also a wife, not a concubine.

The fact that Lord Shao married a Ping wife was a joke. There is no big family that would marry a Ping wife, and the children of a Ping wife should also be born of a concubine. The identities of the old lady's three children were directly lifted up.

Shao Ziyu used three letters to explain the family members of the Shao family and what happened in the past. At the end, there is still his concluding remarks, which are only four words: don't worry about it.

What others desperately want, in his four words of understatement, it doesn't matter.

Lin Qingran looked at the eight letters and sighed softly. Everyone knew that the fifth young master of the Shao family was a man of few words, and some people said that the fifth young master of the Shao family might be an idiot. Only then did he not let him speak.

But who knew he would be such a clear person.

He sent this letter to let her know about the Shao family, but also to tell her not to worry. This simple word also reveals some of his arrogance. If there is him, don't bother.

Lin Qingran leaned on the couch and meditated for a while, before she asked Si Qin to come in and put away the letter. Looking out the window, the sun was setting and the sky was dark.

Lin Qingran got up and went to Luoying Courtyard to greet her. When Lu saw her coming, she talked about the marriage with her.

The imperial decree has already been issued, and some matters such as marriage proposal are now in order. When I came to propose marriage half a month ago, I also took Lin Qingran's birthday horoscope. After the horoscope was combined, the Shao family came to the Lin family this morning. hire.

"The date of the next engagement was set at the beginning of the year, and it's already October now. With this wedding date, I guess you will get married after you reach the age."

"Big sisters and the others didn't all get married until they were sixteen." When she reached Ji, she would only be fifteen.

Mrs. Lu reached out to straighten her hair, and sighed, "This marriage was settled early. Master Shao has been ill for so many days and he hasn't recovered. I'm afraid he won't have many days left."
