Chapter 574: Wait and see
Lin Wan saw that several ladies didn't seem to be interested in Lin Ruiqi, so she couldn't help but smile slightly, and continued: "My third brother has been smart since he was a child, and my father often praises him as the most promising among the elder brothers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info", paused, and continued: "It's just that I'm afraid that after my third brother is in high school, the people who come to propose to the third brother may have to step on the threshold of our family." ”
The implication is that you don't look down on my third brother now, and you may not be able to take your turn in the future. Lin Wan's words made several ladies unhappy, but it was not completely unreasonable.
Lin Wan looked at the expressions of several ladies lightly. Mrs. Yin still smiled, but she didn't take Lin Wan's words to heart. Mrs. Wu lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, but Wu Qian behind her was the youngest, so there was really no need to worry.
Only Mrs. Li seemed to have some interest in this Lin San Gongzi. Scholar Li was originally not very satisfied with this family affair because Lin Ruichen took the route of a military general, but since it was hinted at by Prime Minister Lin Cheng, he had to let his wife take his second daughter to take a look.
Although this Lin Ruiqi is a concubine now, if he can really pass the examination, with the support of Lin Chengxiang's father in the future, are you afraid that she will have no future?
That Li Xinlian's eyes also raised slightly at this moment, and she met Lin Wan's gaze. I saw Lin Wan smiling at her, as if encouraging her to make a bold choice.
Lin Wan looked at Mrs. Li and Li Xinlian with a smile, and continued: "My father has just two sons, and they are all my own brothers. ”
As soon as these words came out, the three ladies in the hall were a little shaken. Prime Minister Lin Cheng has two sons, one takes the literati route and the other takes the military general route, if you want to say which one can be unproductive, unless it is mud that can't support the wall. But since this third son of Lin can be admitted to the top three, he will definitely have a good future in the future. If Lin Sigongzi is really hopeless, this Lin Sangongzi is not impossible to consider.
Lin Wan saw that the faces of the three ladies looked a little better, smiled slightly, turned to Mrs. Lin, and said, "Grandmother, why don't you let my third brother come over and say hello to the ladies." ”
Old Mrs. Lin couldn't help but be happy when she saw that Lin Wan had moved all the ladies in her heart, if she could marry these families, whether it was Lin Ruichen or Lin Ruiqi, it didn't matter, the important thing was to marry a good family. Old Madam Lin nodded, and instructed Mother Du beside her: "Wenjuan, you go to the front yard and ask the third son to come over." ”
"Yes, old lady. Du's mother happily replied and walked quickly outside the house.
Seeing that several ladies seemed to be a little interested in Lin Ruiqi, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but praise and said with a smile: "This girl has a straight temperament, what do you say, no big or small, ladies don't take it to heart." However, what she said is true, this Qi'er has been studious since she was a child, and her knowledge is the most outstanding among several children, and our family's Huai really attaches great importance to Qi'er, saying that this autumn exam will definitely be in the top three. ”
The three ladies lit up at the same time, they all knew that the examiner was originally Liu Qingyuan's this time, but now that something big has happened to the Liu family, the follow-up review of the autumn exam has been handed over to Lin Zhihuai, if even Lin Zhihuai said that his third son will definitely be able to get into the top three, then it must be wrong.
Mrs. Yin frowned slightly, and looked at Mrs. Tao with puzzled eyes, hoping that her own sister could give her an idea.
Mrs. Tao didn't expect that Lin Wan would suddenly say that her own brother had already said that she had already agreed on the family matter, and pushed Lin Ruiqi out, and she was a little caught off guard for a while. However, what Lin Wan and Mrs. Lin said was not wrong, Lin Ruiqi couldn't find anything else wrong except that he was a concubine. But after all, it's a concubine, can my sister and Yin Shilang see it?
Mrs. Yin saw that Mrs. Tao had no idea for a while, and she was even more hesitant in her heart.
Lin Wan was secretly amused in her heart, Mrs. Yin was only thinking about whether she was willing to have a son-in-law, but she never thought about whether our Lin family was willing to want their daughter to be a daughter-in-law?
Of the three women in the hall, Li Xinlian is the most beautiful, Wu Qian is the most cute, Yin Qiuping is the most ordinary, if you want to talk about family background, Kyoto Prefecture Yin is the most powerful, followed by the Ministry of Rites, and the most incorruptible may be Li Daxue.
However, in Lin Wan's eyes, Li Xinlian, who has never spoken, has the most stable temperament and the most simple mind, which is the most suitable for Lin Ruiqi. If Lin Ruiqi finds a daughter-in-law with eyes above the top in the future, the door will be even more unpeaceful, although he is not afraid of anything, but he does not want to make trouble at home.
After a while, Du's mother had already brought Lin Ruiqi in.
Lin Ruiqi had already come to greet him in the morning, and when he saw the room full of ladies and misses, he already knew roughly what his grandmother was doing when she asked her to come. With a respectful attitude, he walked to the center of the hall, saluted Mrs. Lin, and said, "My grandson has seen my grandmother, may my grandmother be happy and healthy!"
Then he saluted Mrs. Tao and said, "My nephew has seen the eldest aunt, please say hello to the eldest aunt." ”
Mrs. Tao smiled affectionately and said, "Qi'er doesn't need to be polite, I've already asked for peace in the morning." ”
Old Madam Lin nodded with a smile, her eyes swept to the ladies in the hall, and said, "Qi'er, I called you here to let you meet these ladies." This is your eldest aunt's sister, Mrs. Yin, and beside her is her eldest daughter, Miss Yin. ”
Lin Ruiqi turned to Mrs. Yin, bowed respectfully, and said, "The little nephew has seen Mrs. Yin, and I have seen Miss Yin." ”
Mrs. Yin looked at the young man in front of her and nodded slightly, he was really a talent, and his bearing was extraordinary, if he didn't say it, no one would be able to see that he was just a concubine.
Yin Qiuping secretly glanced at Lin Ruiqi, her round face suddenly flushed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing charming dimples. Curtsied to Lin Ruiqi and said, "Third Prince Lin is polite." ”
Old Madam Lin introduced Mrs. Li on the other side and said, "This is the wife of Scholar Li, and by her side is her second daughter. ”
Lin Ruiqi still bowed and said politely: "The little nephew has seen Mrs. Li and Miss Li. ”
Mrs. Li nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Third Prince Lin doesn't have to be polite. ”
Li Xinlian raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Ruiqi, her voice was as soft as water, and said, "I've seen Lin Sangongzi." ”
Lin Ruiqi heard such a gentle voice from the woman, his heart couldn't help but shake, and he was even more shocked when he followed the prestige, this woman's melon seed face, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, skin as white as snow, gentle as water, was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, and he forgot to avoid his eyes for a while.
