Chapter 278: Something Happened to a Few People's Hearts
Li Lin sat in the study, holding an old remnant chess game in his hand, and a pair of eyes that were slightly cloudy because of his age swirled from time to time, probably thinking about something.
The subordinate stepped forward with small steps, his hands flush with his chest, and dragged a neatly folded stack of gold silk.
"This is the gift list received by the second son's wedding today, please take a look at the second master. ”
Li Lin frowned slightly, probably dissatisfied with this slave who had no eyesight to disturb his thoughts, and waved his hand a little impatiently: "Let it go." ”
When the servant saw his lord with such a look, he knew that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly promised in a low voice that he would put aside the golden silk stained with ink, and then leave immediately, so as not to disturb the eyes.
The second master of the Li family suddenly changed his mind and said, "Come on, come on, give it to me." ”
When the subordinate heard this, he hurriedly handed the thing to Li Lin's hand.
Li Lin took the golden silk and slowly opened it from the top, ten lines at a glance, and on the long gift list, all the entries were quickly read by him.
Brushing his beard a little complacently, Li Lin's mood is generally not bad, the two sons are married, and the characters with heads and faces in Jingyuan County are ninety percent of ninety, which shows that he Li Lin's friendship is wide and his face is big.
The only thing that made him feel that there was a fly in the ointment was the contemporary head of the Lei family who clearly placed the invitation, but did not arrive in time.
"Hmph," Li Lin's face showed a slight coldness, and he said disdainfully: "This Lei Fengheng, the old Shoufu has been dead for many years, and he still thinks he is the son of the prime minister, he can play music like this, it is really unpleasant to see him, if it weren't for the old Shoufu who had the grace of my eldest brother back then, this invitation would not have his Lei family's share, it is really shameless!"
Although the subordinate was not from a local background, he was sold to the Li family in Jingyuan when he was a child, and for more than 20 years, he had been with Li Lin's side, and he also knew about the big and small forces in Jingyuan County, so he immediately echoed: " What the second master said is that this thunder wind Hengkong has a good civil and military qualifications, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, more than ten years, if he is willing to use a little thought, he will rely on the legacy of the old master, why has he not been able to mix up an official and a half-position until now, and he only knows to stay in the house and stay in the house with that lady, I and I, my ears and temples are grinding, I look at him, he is fascinated by the daughter of the teacher, and he can't even be a basic person!"
Li Lin was in a good mood when he was slapped by his subordinates' accurate sycophants, and the displeasure that was disturbed by him was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.
Even so, he deliberately lowered his face, and reprimanded him without being salty or light: "After all, Lei Fengheng is the only son of Lao Shoufu, and the Lei family is also a big family in our Jingyuan County.
"The second master taught me a lesson, and the villain wrote it down. ”
The subordinate bowed and promised.
Li Lin waved his hand with satisfaction and motioned for the other party to go out.
As a brother in law with the eldest brother of his own mother who was an official in the capital, whether it is talent or ability, Li Lin is not inferior to his brother by half a point, and the reason why he did not get fame in the examination, but stayed
The hometown of Jingyuan County is just a sacrifice he made in order to leave a way back for his family.
Although the capital is the land of the rich and noble, but it is also a dangerous road of life and death, if one is not careful, it is easy to recover, if he also runs to be an official, the blood relatives of the two brothers must be colluded, if something happens to the time, one will die two, he stays, just to ensure that if the eldest brother has any accidents in the future, the bloodline of the Li family will not be cut off.
Everyone said that the second master of the Li family just enjoyed the blessings of his eldest brother, as for himself, it was mediocre and unremarkable, Li Lin just laughed when he heard it, this is what he wanted, and others would look at him like this, which shows that his acting skills are in place.
But those subordinates who often serve by Li Lin's side clearly know that what outsiders see is just an appearance, and Li Lin's city is even more unfathomable than the county guard of Jingyuan County!
If there is anything true about Li Lin in the eyes of outsiders, there is only one thing, doting on his second son!
Probably because he is the second son, or because the second son has been weak and sick since he was a child, many happy sons who ordinary people can enjoy can't understand, Li Lin loves his second son more than the eldest son, but whatever he wants, no matter whether it's good or bad, as long as he can do it, Li Lin is generally unwilling to brush his son's wishes.
The eldest brother has two daughters under his knees but no children, as the second male of the next generation of the Li family, it is only right that he should marry a rich lady who is right, the son has taken a fancy to the wild girl in the mountain village, and Li Lin is also up to him, but the girl who is the wife doesn't think about it, it is a great thing for her to be a partial house, and the girl's performance is full of knowledge and interest, which makes Li Lin more satisfied.
As for the main owner of this marriage that the city is concerned about, Li Ting, the second son of the Li family, and Shen Ling, the future second aunt, have a very comfortable life, and the second master and the eldest son are all responsible for the wedding.
Li Ting's mood these days is very good, because the day he got married happened to be a good day for himself.
If someone who doesn't know comes, you must be curious to ask, what is a good day and what is a bad day?
Isn't it a good day to get married?
In fact, the so-called difference between good and bad heaven was determined by Li Ting based on his own physical condition.
The day when you can stand up is a good day, and the day that you can't stand up is a bad day.
There was no problem with his legs, he was not lame or had a dark disease, but when his physical condition was not good, it would be more difficult to stand up, and even if he tried to stand up, his legs would tremble, and he could not walk normally.
In the middle of the trip to the ice field, the reason why he was at the foot of Songxue Village was because Li Ting's body suddenly deteriorated, and it was difficult to even sit up straight without leaning on something behind him.
It was also during that period of time that the two sisters, Shen Bing and Shen Ling, took good care of him, and he was able to get better in a short period of time.
When Songxue Village first met, he
He had a natural affection for these two sisters, Li Ting asked himself, at that time, he actually liked Shen Bing better than his sister Shen Ling, but although Shen Bing took care of himself, he always kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, relatively speaking, his sister Shen Ling's attitude towards him was obviously much better.
Li Ting lingers on the sickbed all the year round, and he has also had a favorite girl, but everyone is like Shen Bing, because of the identity of the son of the Li family, he doesn't dare to slack off, but he doesn't want to get too close.
Over time, he learned to retreat in the face of difficulties, cherish the attitude of Shen Bing in front of him, and understand, Li Ting decisively put all his feelings into his sister Shen Ling.
Things between the two are about as natural as they are.
Li Ting persuaded his father to bring Shen Ling back, and after preparing for a while, Shen Ling gradually got used to the life of a big family, and the marriage between the two was put on the agenda.
The only thing that made him feel a fly in the ointment was that on the day of the wedding, Shen Ling's sister and father could not be present.
It's not that he Li Ting thinks that his father-in-law is a blacksmith, and he will be embarrassed when he comes, but because the snow covers the entire Songyuan, the music and books are not reached, and it is inconvenient to come and go, and his body is rare to have a few good days a year, but if he misses these days, when he gets married, he has to sit in a wooden wheelchair, and the ceremony of marriage may not be completed.
After thinking about it, Li Ting still decided to get married first, and when the snow on Songyuan melted, he personally took Shen Ling to Songxue Village to have another happy event, and by the way, he accompanied his father-in-law, who was kind and generous, and he would not worry about his younger generation if he wanted to.
As for Shen Ling, who is about to marry a wife, her mood is much more complicated than Li Ting's.
