Chapter 1094: Serving the in-laws
Lin Wan smiled slightly and continued: "Grandpa, the situation in Lin Xiangfu is different now, my mother and I are protected by secret guards, and we are all our own people, and the previous situation will never happen again." Although Aunt Qin may be the daughter of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has not disclosed her identity all these years, nor does she plan to help her, so she must also have concerns. Aunt Qin is a smart person, as long as everyone is safe, she will not ask for trouble. As for the emperor's side, he has not found those two things for so many years, and he has acquiesced to his mother leaving the capital to seek medical treatment, so he must have believed that the things are not in my mother's hands. At the beginning, they were only suspicious because my mother had seen Concubine Chen in the palace, and they were not sure that those things were in my mother's hands, and they should not persecute my mother again because of this matter. ”
Zhao Zhengxiang listened to Lin Wan's words, turned his head to look at Wang Xinlian, Wang Xinlian looked at Zhao Liniang distressedly, and slowly said: "Liniang, you really think clearly, do you want to go back?"
Zhao Liniang looked up at her mother, her eyes were full of shame, but she didn't hesitate, she nodded and said, "Mother, I think clearly, I am willing to believe in Zhihuai again, I want to return to my husband and children." Mother, I will come to see you often. ”
Wang Xinpian sighed helplessly, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Okay, it's up to you." However, you remember that this will always be your home, and you can come home and live at any time. Your mother and your father, as well as your brothers and sisters-in-law, are all very welcome to your return. ”
Zhao Liniang nodded happily and said, "Thank you, father, mother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, thank you for supporting me and understanding me." ”
Ma Huaiyu hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Li Niang, they are all a family, why be so polite? In a few days, it will be a good day for your eldest nephew to marry a wife, and your niece to get married. ”
Zhao Liniang nodded again and again, and responded with a smile: "That's natural." The day before Ming Jin and Jing'er's wedding, I came over, and Wan'er also came with me, sister-in-law has anything to help with, although she said, I'm afraid that we will be clumsy, and the more we help, the more helped. ”
Ma Huaiyu shook his head with a smile and said: "Liniang, you are too modest, you and Wan'er are so smart and capable, there are few comparable in the entire capital, you are willing to help, I have been worrying for almost a month, and I can put it down." ”
Xing Xirong also took Zhao Jing'er to Zhao Liniang and Lin Wan's side, took Zhao Liniang's hand and asked for warmth, and talked homely.
Lin Wan saw that Zhao Jing'er was a little distracted and depressed, so she couldn't help but smile, and asked Zhao Liniang and Xing Xirong in a coquettish voice: "Mother, second uncle, I want to go to the golden needle embroidery workshop with Cousin Jing to see Sister Tong, is it okay?"
Zhao Liniang hesitated a little and said embarrassedly: "Wan'er, now it's time to apply, don't you miss the time for dinner when you come and go?"
Zhao Mingjin walked over and said with a smile: "Auntie, I was also about to pick up Xinyan to come back for dinner, why don't you let Wan'er and Jing'er go with me, we will come back before dinner." ”
Zhao Liniang heard Zhao Mingjin say that she was going to send them there, so she put her mind at ease, nodded, and said, "Then you go ahead, you children have listened to the elders for so long, I'm afraid that they will be suffocated, so let's go out for a walk." ”
Zhao Mingxi and Zhao Mingyi also walked over, stood beside Zhao Mingjin, nodded, and expressed their willingness to go together.
Zhao Zhengxiang stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and said with a smile: "You all go, wait for you to come back and start the meal." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Zhihuai, who was still standing aside, and then looked at Zhao Fengwen and Zhao Qingpeng, and said, "Zhihuai, Fengwen, Qingpeng, you go to the study with me to talk, and here is left for your mother and Huaiyu to discuss the wedding of the two children." ”
Lin Zhihuai was overjoyed in his heart and said happily: "Yes, father-in-law." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang's gaze inadvertently swept towards Zhao Qingpeng, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now that he has accepted Lin Zhihuai, how can he resolve the knot between him and Zhao Qingpeng?
When Zhao Zhengxiang, Lin Zhihuai, Zhao Fengwen, and Zhao Qingpeng went to the study, Zhao Mingjin also arranged a carriage and took his four younger brothers and sisters to the golden needle embroidery workshop.
Lin Wan and Zhao Jing'er were sitting in a carriage, Zhao Jing'er was still very quiet, Lin Wan sighed heavily, and pretended to be sad: "Cousin Jing, why haven't you seen me for more than a month, you don't like to talk to me anymore?"
Zhao Jing'er glanced at Lin Wan, but still didn't speak, twisting her fingers, as if thinking about something terrible.
Lin Wan saw that Zhao Jing'er didn't joke with herself, so she said: "Cousin Jing, what is on your mind, tell me, maybe I can give you some references." ”
Zhao Jing'er finally sighed heavily, nodded, and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I don't know what to say." After a pause, he said: "The closer I get to the wedding, the more messy my heart becomes, and sometimes I want to leave and wander the rivers and lakes in a chic manner." However, I knew that I couldn't, and I had to accept my fate and become a woman who was locked up in a house and had children. ”
Lin Wan listened to Zhao Jing'er's words, and couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head, it turned out that she was suffering from premarital phobia. frowned and thought for a while, before he said: "Who said that if a woman is married, she can only be locked up in the courtyard of a deep house to have children? If Brother Xing is sent out to serve, you can follow him to live in office. ”
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Zhao Jing'er's eyes, but it dimmed again in an instant, and she pouted: "However, after Akan and I got married in the capital, I will go back to Shandong to meet the elders of the Xing family, and I will also go to the ancestral hall to worship and enter the family tree of their family." Then, I had to stay in my hometown in Shandong to serve my mother-in-law, and my father-in-law and Akan returned to their respective duties. I'll never see you again, not even Akan a few times a year. ”
When Lin Wan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously, "Who told you this?"
Zhao Jing'er shook her head and said, "I haven't seen Akan for many days, he has always been busy recently, and I don't know why the emperor always announces him to the palace to discuss matters." These are all what my mother told me, and my mother said that women are like this when they get married, just like their aunts. The eldest uncle is far away at the border, and the eldest aunt serves her in-laws, educates her children, and manages the affairs of the house, which is a model among women. These days, I follow my aunt every day to learn to read the account books and take care of the affairs in the house, and I am suffocated to death. In the future, if I go to Xing's house and learn the rules from my mother-in-law, won't it drive me crazy?"
