Chapter 127: Lin Xi sues for suffering and marrying a wife
Lin Xi walked into the house and saw Liu retreating from the back room, so he saluted respectfully: "Uncle." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu's mind is now full of his little daughter, and he can't help himself when he is sour, so he has no intention of greeting Lin Xi, nodding and leaving.
Mother Qi lifted the curtain and beckoned to Lin Xi with a smile, "Young Master Cousin is here, come in." ”
Lin Xi walked into the house, and Mrs. Tai was leaning on the warm support and closed her eyes to recuperate, looking a little tired.
She is old, and today's people come and go, and some of them can't be offended, and the mental drain is indeed a bit unbearable for the elderly.
Lin Xi suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"Are the prince and the prince gone?" Mrs. Tai opened her eyes, changed her posture, and looked at Lin Xi with her sideburns in her hand and asked.
Lin Xi straightened up and approached, "Yes, just left." ”
"It should have been your uncles and cousins, but now they are idle, but they are tired of you. What are you doing here, just go back and rest. Mrs. Tai had a smile line on her face, and patted the empty warm couch next to her with her other hand.
Lin Xi obediently went over and sat down, "My cousins are not here, Xi'er wants to share her uncle's worries, why do you have to say that you are tired, what does your grandmother mean, Xi'er is an outsider?" ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." Mrs. Tai smiled and narrowed her eyes, looking happy, "Go and bring the bird's nest porridge on the warm to the young master." ”
Mother Qi answered, took a look, put down the curtain and went out with the maids.
"I heard from my in-laws, Mr. Bai will be the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine at the beginning of spring, this idle cloud and wild crane for half of his life, it is not easy to become an official when he is old, I am afraid that it is also for you."
Although Mrs. Tai is a woman in the house, the news of this court is well-informed.
Lin Xi held Mrs. Tai's hand, stroked it gently, lowered her head and whispered, "The teacher regards me as his own, and I should treat him as a father in the future." ”
"That's exactly how it should be."
Mrs. Tai is well maintained, and her hands are still dry and soft, but more than 60 years have passed and still left traces, showing old age markings.
Lin Xi rubbed it, and suddenly his nose was sore, and he was a little speechless.
When Lin Xi first came, he often asked An to accompany the old man to chat, and when he was older, he had important things to do, so he came less. Mrs. Tai knew that if there was nothing important today, Lin Xi would not come to her so late.
"Why, if there is anything you can't say with your grandmother, just say it, the old woman can give you ideas when she has nothing to do."
Mrs. Tai's other hand patted the back of Lin Xi's hand and quipped.
Hearing this, Lin Xi looked up at Mrs. Tai, the sourness in his nose became thicker and thicker, he lowered his head again, and pondered for a long time before asking, "Can the marriage with the Bai family be stopped?" ”
Mrs. Tai was taken aback, and immediately asked with a serious face: "But have you heard any bad rumors?" ”
Lin Xi shook his head, and his hand tightened his grip on Mrs. Tai's hand.
"Why is that?" Mrs. Tai was puzzled.
The two families have been ventilated, although the second lady Bai still has to look at each other, but everyone knows that it is just a formality.
"Miss Bai has never seen the old woman, but the person who went to Tongzhou to inquire came back and said that there was nothing bad. Xi'er, your grandmother is more concerned about your marriage than anyone else, don't worry, she won't come nonsense. ”
Just because he was too attentive and chose too well, Lin Xi felt even more guilty.
"Grandmother, it's a grandson who is not worthy of Miss Bai."
He sighed, got up, lifted his robe and knelt in front of Mrs. Tai, took out a yellowed and old-looking piece of paper from his purse around his waist, and presented it to Mrs. Tai with both hands.
Mrs. Tai looked at the piece of paper, faintly had a bad premonition, and glanced at Lin Xi, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, she took it and opened it slowly.
The handwriting inside is slightly scribbled, but you can tell what is written if you look closely, and everything is clear in a few words.
Mrs. Tai looked at it with an ugly face, and in the end, her blood color was suddenly lost, and the hand holding the paper trembled faintly, and finally it was obvious that she couldn't control it.
After a few heavy breaths, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Isn't it already well?" How could this be...... Ah......h
The yellowed and old piece of paper finally fell from Mrs. Tai's hand, and fell from Lin Xi's eyes to the ground, the handwriting was dazzling.
Lin Xi listened to Mrs. Tai's choking, only to feel that his heart seemed to be tightly choked by a hand, and he bit his lip and said: "The incurable disease brought out in the mother's womb, before I saw Dr. Min, all the doctors said that my grandson could not survive the winter of that year, and now that I can live, it is the greatest gift given by God, how can I ask for anything else." ”
Lin Xi's voice was steady and waveless, as if he was telling about other people's affairs, but the more he listened to it, the more unbearable it was in Mrs. Tai's ears, and the sadness came from her heart, and the sound of sobbing was difficult to stop.
She leaned down and hugged Lin Xi and cried: "Xi'er, my Xi'er, how can I call my grandmother...... How can you be worthy of your father and mother......"
Lin Xi's tears also burst out of his eyes in an instant, and he reached out to hug Mrs. Tai's already thin body.
In fact, he is not lying, his foundation is thin, and the cold disease of the tarsal bone from childhood to adulthood has made his body extremely damaged, even if he gets married, it is difficult for a woman to conceive, to paraphrase the words of later generations, it is low sperm activity. And desire. The hope is also shallow, and when Zhao Jingyi is warm, the intimate hug and exchange are more than meat. Body entanglement makes him more acceptable.
However, no matter how many explanations and reasons there are, it is just because he wants to be with Zhao Jingyi, and the boundless guilt gradually gathers in his heart, and the guilt still occupies a place in his heart to show off his might.
However, no matter how the guilt pans his teeth and claws, and the pain is heart-wrenching, Lin Xi still does not respond coldly, and does not retreat or change what he has determined.
"Grandmother...... Resign yourself to fate...... Forget it. ”
Mrs. Tai's tears fell uncontrollably, "How can you forget it?" How can this be counted? It doesn't matter if the girl of the Bai family marries or not, but your body is ...... The future of the Lin family...... You're a seedling! ”
The Lin family, Lin Qing, his father, the last face in prison, flashed in a trance.
He is selfish and self-interested, and the family inheritance is finally lost in his hands, in his own hands.
Regret it?
Lin Xi didn't know, and bursts of tiredness came to his heart.
After crying for a while, Lin Xi wiped his face and slowly helped the weak Mrs. Tai up, this noble old lady who had always been calm and proud now seemed to be an ordinary old woman who was sad and sad for her children and grandchildren, but suddenly became rickety, lost her spirit, and even the weight was much lighter.
Lin Xi clenched his fists, held back the sourness in his heart, and waited for Mrs. Tai to sit on the warm couch before slowly kneeling in front of him again.
However, before his knee hit the ground, Mrs. Tai grabbed his arm, and said with hope in her eyes: "There are no absolutes, you have been recuperating for so long, maybe you will be fine...... I think when I first came to the capital, you were so thin, weak, and lying in bed sick at every turn, aren't you no different from ordinary people now! Right...... Although there was little hope, Dr. Min did not say that it was impossible...... There are so many imperial doctors in Beijing, there are always one or two who are good at this ......"
The more Mrs. Tai spoke, the more justified she felt, and she was about to get up and call someone, when she saw Lin Xi kneeling heavily on the ground again, her forehead against the ground, and shouted: "Grandmother, my grandson doesn't want to be known to everyone!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tai was stunned and slowly sat back on the couch, looking at Lin Xi's still frightened face, only to realize how much damage this disease would do to her grandson if it was accidentally spread!
The hospital is too crowded and unreliable!
Mrs. Tai's tears couldn't help but flow down again, "Xi'er ......"
A bowl of bird's nest porridge was served for a long time, and Mother Qi stood at the door and waved away all the maids.
Lin Xi really couldn't bear to make his elderly grandmother sad again, so he got up and sat down beside Mrs. Tai, put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered while wiping away her tears for Mrs. Tai...... You're right, isn't my body slowly getting better? I can't say that I will be cured one day, but no one can say for sure this kind of thing, not in one or two years, three or five years, and there will always be some improvement in ten years. ”
Seeing that Mrs. Tai had calmed down, Lin Xi continued,
"The marriage of the Bai family, I wanted to obey the arrangement silently, but in the dead of night I touched my conscience and thought about it, a good girl, who can't marry someone, why should you follow me to suffer and be criticized in the future? If I don't know, it's okay, but I know in my heart that how can I live up to a good girl, in this era, the world is always harsh on women. ”
Mrs. Tai shook her head, "We don't treat her badly, if she doesn't come out, you are not allowed to take a concubine or leave a room, can't you keep her?" ”
This is a bit unreasonable, Lin Xi laughed in his heart, but for the old lady who was dedicated to himself, Lin Xi was not only grateful but grateful, so he could only persuade slowly: "My grandmother loves me, I know it, but if the two families exchange this matter, will my grandmother be willing?" ”
Mrs. Tai stopped talking.
Lin Xi has nothing except for a talent showman, a Confucian teacher, and at most a Hou Mansion, if the Bai family really feels sorry for their daughter, how can they agree to this family affair when they know that their daughter has no children for the rest of her life after marrying?
He, Lin Xi, didn't have an extra horn on his head.
"The hearts of parents in the world are the same, grandmother, to be honest, Xi'er is not in a hurry to get married, I said that the eldest husband should make a difference, and it is not too late for me to discuss family affairs when I go to the Jinluan Palace!"
In the end, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the words of pride and ambition instantly dispelled the previous haze.
Mrs. Tai is distressed and proud, her good child has suffered so much since she was a child, but she doesn't want to have this hidden disease, it is really unfair to God.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Tai still didn't want to let go, "The marriage was mentioned by the Bai family, Xi'er is kind-hearted, and she doesn't want to delay her, so let's make it clear whether to marry or not, let the Bai family choose for themselves!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xi could only cry and laugh.
The Bai family has a strict family style and an excellent reputation, and everyone in the court knows it, if they dislike Lin Xi and quit because of this, although it is excusable, it will have a bad reputation after all, and how can such a reason be condemned, not to mention ruining Lin Xi's future, the feud between the two families is settled.
The Bai family will never do this, and the final result is that Miss Bai still has to marry, and it is not very happy to marry for the sake of face, and finally become a pair of resentful couples.
"Grandmother, you have to do it beautifully, you can't grudge while getting married, you don't agree, let's retreat."
Lin Xi slowly walked out of the door, Qi's mother was standing motionless at the door, the little maids had been sent far away, only Tuan Tuan was still waiting anxiously not far away.
"Mother Qi, I'll go back now, the old lady still asks you to bother here."
Mother Qi blessed her body, and replied with a still expression: "Don't worry, young master, it's the old slave's business." ”
Lin Xi nodded and left, and the two girls followed in silence.
"Young master, won't Miss Bai enter the door?"
In the carriage, Yuan Yuan held back for a long time and finally asked.
Lin Xi retracted his hands into the cuffs and leaned on the soft backrest, and nodded carelessly, "No." ”
Hearing this, the two girls didn't know whether they were happy or sad. Without the young lady entering the door, they are naturally more free to take care of Lin Xi, but on the other hand, there is really no hostess and little master in the Lin Mansion, as loyal servants, they are always sad for the Lin family.
Lin Xi glanced at the heavy expressions of these two girls, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "You should treat Prince Rui as a young lady." ”
"Huh?"
There was no chance to be sad again, and the two opened their mouths wide in fright.
Such a big young lady, who dares!
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, "With me supporting you, what are you afraid of, just do it." ”
The two girls quickly bowed their heads, did their own things, and were silent about their young master's whims.
Lin Xi suddenly became angry, and when Zhao Jingyi climbed the wall in the middle of the night, he didn't give a good face, and he blasted out without seeing his face.
One is afraid of women, and the other is weak and difficult to have children, to a certain extent, these two people have chosen the same path.
