210: Invitation

It's just that Shen Qihuan, such a cold person, why did he suddenly stand up for Shen Luting? The eyes around him were full of complexity towards these two people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Ting was also very surprised, in her impression, the third sister had always been eager to draw a line with her, why did she suddenly support her?

Lu Ting only felt her heart pounding, she was afraid of being looked at, but this feeling was really good, like a new shoot growing on a rotten tree that had already withered.

And just when everyone was thinking about it, Mother Sun beside the Lin family hurriedly walked into the small hall, first told Lao An and Shen Chen a crime, and then reported with Lin in a voice that everyone could hear: "Madam, the housekeeper mother next to Mrs. Wang sent a post, saying that she will make an appointment with you to come over tomorrow to enjoy the flowers." ”

Lin was like being hit on the head by a gold ingot, and was surprised and delighted: "Has that mother left? What else did she say? What other lady of the family is among the invitations besides me? Have you given someone a reward?"

Mother Sun said with crooked eyebrows: "Mrs. Yu, that mother said, Mrs. Wang wants her to get your words and then go back, and Mrs. Wang will only invite you to enjoy the flowers tomorrow, and the old slave made his own decision and sealed the mother-in-law with twenty taels of silver." ”

Twenty taels of silver? The people in the small hall were all surprised, the most decent mother-in-law in the house only got ten taels of silver for the annual reward, and this grandmother actually sealed twenty taels without the permission of the master?

But the Lin family didn't feel that Mother Sun was overstepping, but nodded with great satisfaction: "If you go and reply, it means that I will be there tomorrow." ”

Mother Sun was ordered to retreat, but the smugness on Lin's face did not dissipate for a long time, and the stuffiness hidden because of Shen Qin's Zhongjin Shi was also completely eliminated at once, and her eyes deliberately swept over Lu's face, only to see Lu's jaw tightened, which was an extremely forbearant expression.

The Lin family didn't mention how enjoyable it was, thought about it, and suddenly frowned and said to his mother-in-law: "This Wang family is a family of military generals, and there are still some owe some rules. ”

Shen Chen held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but he did not refute Lin's words, but said: "After all, the foundation of the Wang family is shallow, there is no family background, and no matter how smooth the career is, there is a lack of strength, so the Wang family's choice of daughter-in-law is either aimed at the noble family or the family that cultivates and reads the heirlooms, such a century-old family is the biggest help for the Wang family." ”

The Lin family looked like they were being taught, and then looked at everyone's mixed expressions, they must have figured it out, Mrs. Wang's purpose of inviting her into the house at this juncture, in addition to talking about her children's family, what is more important?

At first, she also felt that the last time Mrs. Wang's birthday banquet, the Shen family left a bad impression on the Wang family, but now it seems that she is really worried about herself, looking at Kyoto, there is no better than her own daughters.

Lao Anren's eyes fell on Shen Qihuan in the distance, the last time Mrs. Su came to the house, she clearly hinted at her, Wang Jiashilang is interested in the three girls, but if he is interested in the three girls, why do you want to call the Lin family to come to the house?

The most aggrieved is the Lu family, who finally looked forward to his son's success, and it was less than a day before he was covered by the Lin family.

It's just that the Lu family didn't know that the Lin family's joy had not lasted for a day.

At noon on the second day, Lin wore a silver-red makeup jacket, drew his eyebrows and eyes, dressed up carefully, and went to Wang's house in Chunlin Lane.

It can be seen that Mrs. Wang, who is only wearing a regular household dress and thinly powdered powder, Lin's eyes can't help but flash a trace of disappointment, what kind of hospitality is used to entertain what level of lady, which is particular in Kyoto, Mrs. Wang's dress like this may make people think that she does not treat Lin as an outsider, but a little alienation under Mrs. Wang's gentle and polite expression still makes Lin very self-aware and correct position.

Mrs. Wang didn't treat the Lin family as a distinguished guest at all.

However, the Lin family himself also understands that if the Wang family really takes a fancy to Quechun, with the current status of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, it can be regarded as a high climb, for the happiness of his daughter, even if the Lin family is no longer happy in his heart, the smile on his face is not ambiguous at all.

However, when he arrived at the small flower hall, Lin saw the two peonies to be seen on this trip, and the awkward energy in his heart became even stronger.

At first, the Lin family thought that the Wang family was the home of military generals, and they were not comparable to the noble gate, so it was possible to regard the peonies with poor quality as good peonies, but when the Lin family saw the two flower pots containing peonies, the brightness on his face immediately disappeared.

It was clearly an inferior product that was bought from a gardener and had not had time to move the pot.

Calling her over and entertaining her with such a courtesy, the Lin family sensed that something was wrong even if it was for their daughter.

Sure enough, after a cup of tea, Wang led the topic from peony to his son.

"The emperor's will has come down, and the Hanlin Academy has been sealed, and I will go to the Hanlin Academy to order it in the next two days. When Mrs. Wang mentioned her son, her bleak expression showed a hint of relief.

This made the Lin family, who had experienced her son's failure twice, feel a little uncomfortable, and she smiled against her will: "Mrs. Wang's blessing, who can compare it to Kyoto." ”

Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, Mrs. Wang smiled at the corner of her mouth, "But there are some blessings that I can't envy." He looked at Lin slightly obliquely, with a condescending sense of superiority, "You also know that because of Shiro's grandmother's filial piety, Shiro's career and marriage have been delayed, but fortunately, he has lived up to the teachings of the old lady and the old lady, and he can be regarded as entering the official career, but this marriage is ......" Mrs. Wang sighed slightly, and put the azure teacup in her hand on the table, but there was no follow-up.

The Lin family was apprehensive, and when she heard Mrs. Wang's tone, it seemed that she had not come to discuss the marriage of her children with her. In fact, Lin took it for granted, since ancient times, male and female media, how have I ever heard that the mother-in-law personally found the daughter-in-law's mother's family said directly, not to entrust a matchmaker or Quanfu people, first probe the mouth, through the words or something.

It's just that the Lin family is in it, and he can't see it clearly for a while.

Who knew that Mrs. Wang had just mentioned it, and suddenly stopped saying it, and asked with a cold expression: "I heard that the third lady of your mansion is a wonderful person?"

When Lin heard this, he was a little stunned for a while, because before Shen Qihuan returned to the Chengping Marquis Mansion, his daughter Quechun occupied the name of the third lady, and Lin couldn't be sure for a while, Mrs. Wang was asking Shen Qihuan or Quechun.

Therefore, Lin said vaguely: "I don't dare to be good or not, I am still sensible after all." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at Lin calmly, reached out to stroke the tassel falling on the holder of the rosewood teapot, and said lightly: "I also heard Shiro mention that when he borrowed it from King Rong's Mansion in Handzhou, Miss Shen San gave him a military genealogy. Mrs. Wang covered her mouth, and her laughter was deep and low in the small flower hall: "Our family Shiro is a Muna, and he actually refutes the good intentions of the third lady by guarding the male and female gifts, and then gradually understands some things, don't be embarrassed to talk to me about it." ”

Lin's mind was stunned, and it was completely snow-white. Her family Quechun has never left the capital, and Shen Quehuan did borrow it in the Rongwang Mansion in Handzhou before returning to Beijing, so the third lady in Mrs. Wang's mouth must be Shen Quehuan, but what does she mean by this?
