Lin Wan picked up the tea bowl on the table, handed it to Zhao Liniang's hand with a smile, and quietly changed the topic, asking, "Mother, have you really seen Sister Xinlian when you were a child?"

Zhao Liniang hooked her lips and smiled, nodded lightly, and said, "When Mrs. Li was pregnant with Li Xinlian, I happened to be pregnant with your brother." At that time, your father had not yet become prime minister, but Master Li was already a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Your father has just entered the court as an official, and Master Li has a good relationship with your second uncle, so the two families are relatively close. Later, after your father's official became bigger and bigger, the relationship slowly faded. I remember that at the beginning, our two families joked that they wanted to get married, but it was just talking, neither exchanged tokens, nor did anyone take it seriously. ”

When Lin Wan heard this, she couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows, and said with some embarrassment: "Mother, in fact, when Mrs. Li brought Sister Xinlian here, she came for my fourth brother. ”

Zhao Liniang was stunned, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why did you fall in love with your third brother again?"

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Because I know that the person my fourth brother likes is Sister Wuwu, so I said to my grandmother and Mrs. Li, Mrs. Yin, and Mrs. Wu that you have already given the fourth brother a good family business." Then, I pushed them all to the third brother. At that time, the third brother had just finished the imperial examination and happened to be admitted to the top three, so the three ladies were also a little interested in my third brother. Later, the third brother chose Sister Xinlian, and I also think they are very compatible. In the end, the third brother was admitted to the list, and the parents of both sides were satisfied, and it was a matter of course. ”

Zhao Liniang smiled and nodded, and sighed: "This is also their fate, the Li family and my Lin family still got married after all, and this family affair is a great joy." ”

Lin Wan saw that Zhao Liniang didn't blame herself for many things, and she was overjoyed, and told Zhao Liniang about Lin Qinglan and Li Qinran, Lin Qingyu and Zheng Zheng, Lin Yunzhu and Meng Sangongzi, Lin Yunju and Wei Gongzi, and the little turmoil that caused at that time.

After hearing this, Zhao Liniang's face suddenly turned cold, and she said unhappily: "How can Qinglan be like this?

Lin Wan hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Mother, I think that Zheng Gongzi is very good, except for his poor family background, he is better than the other three sons in other aspects." Moreover, the third sister and Li Gongzi are also ......"

Zhao Liniang wrinkled her eyebrows and glared at Lin Wan, and said solemnly: "Now it's not a question of who is good and who is bad between Li Gongzi and Zheng Gongzi! It's that Qinglan is too unkind to do this! She is really as selfish and unscrupulous as her mother!"

Lin Wan saw that Zhao Liniang was angry, and she didn't dare to say anything more, so she persuaded softly: "Mother, the third sister has already married Li Gongzi, I heard that she gets along well with her mother-in-law's family, and she is also very affectionate with Li Gongzi, so let's not worry about her anymore." ”

Zhao Liniang took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "The matter has come to this, of course there is nothing to say." She is already a married daughter, which means that she is already a member of the Li family, and I have no position to blame her anymore. I just hope that she is in the Li family and will not make any more moths and cause trouble for us. ”

Lin Wan nodded, felt Bing'er touch herself, and slowly looked up, but saw Lin Qinglan wearing a rose-red dress with four rings.

After Lin Qinglan got married, this was the first time Lin Wan saw her, and I saw that she was really different from before. When he walks, he holds his head high and swaying, the smile on his face is bright and moving, the style of the corners of his eyes and eyebrows is looming, and his thick black hair is coiled high behind his head, revealing his slender neck. The jade-encrusted gold earrings hung long on either side of her neck, swaying gently with her steps.

Lin Wan couldn't help but smile lightly, and said lightly: "Mother, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”

Zhao Liniang put down the tea bowl in her hand, looked up, and saw that it was Lin Qinglan, she couldn't help frowning again, and said mockingly: "It seems that she did pick a good family for herself." ”

Under the gaze of Zhao Liniang and Lin Wan, Lin Qinglan walked over happily, stood in front of Zhao Liniang, bent her knees, and said in her sweet voice: "Qinglan has seen her mother and her seventh sister!"

Zhao Liniang smiled and nodded, pulled Lin Qinglan to sit down beside her, and asked with concern, "Is the road hard?"

Lin Qinglan shook her head and replied with a smile: "Mother, my father-in-law and husband both serve in the Ministry of Rites, and they live on Nanzheng Street, which is not too far away. My husband was very considerate to me, and let me come in his carriage, which was spacious and comfortable, and not hard at all. ”

Lin Wan smiled and said affectionately: "Third sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you doing well in the Li family? Are your father-in-law and mother-in-law getting along well? Are you doing well with your third brother-in-law?"

Lin Qinglan heard Lin Wan ask about her situation in the Li family, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she nodded a little shyly, and said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very satisfied with me, and my husband also loves me very much. ”

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Third sister, isn't it appropriate for you to send away all the people in the third brother-in-law's house as soon as you go?"

Lin Qinglan said disapprenously: "Seventh sister, don't worry, my father-in-law and mother-in-law know about this matter, my husband also agrees, and I have my own sense of proportion." ”

Lin Wan smiled helplessly, and didn't want to say anything more, nodded, and said, "As long as the third sister knows it." ”

Lin Qinglan turned her head and smiled at Zhao Liniang, and said coquettishly: "Mother, the third brother will get married tomorrow, there must be a lot of things to do in the house, does my mother need my help?"

Zhao Liniang smiled faintly, shook her head, and said, "Things are almost ready, it's not easy for you to come back all the way, it's enough to have your heart." Go back and talk to your aunt and sister, they have been thinking about you. ”

An unnatural look flashed in Lin Qinglan's eyes, and then she smiled again: "Mother, my husband's family is in the spice business, I brought some good spices back, and I plan to give them to my grandmother, mother, aunts and sisters, you see, whether it is your liking." As she spoke, she glanced at the maid behind her.

Na Yahuan took out two beautifully packaged rosewood boxes from her baggage and respectfully handed them to Lin Qinglan's hands.

Lin Qinglan took the two rosewood boxes, put them on the table, pushed them in front of Zhao Liniang and Lin Wan, smiled slightly, and gently opened the lid of the box, revealing two pieces of high-quality natural spices.
