Chapter 46 Candidates
Zhao Jinling couldn't bear to refuse the expectant gaze of his grandmother, knowing that his grandmother was also heartbroken about marrying his wife, and he didn't care about marrying a wife now, he used to be bent on marrying a stunning beauty, but the beauty he married before was beautiful, but he had a bad personality, and he didn't have a brain and didn't abide by women's morals. Now he doesn't have too many ideas, as long as he is virtuous and generous, and he is safe, don't be like the previous one, just can't tolerate concubines. Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement to his grandmother. The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
The next day, the anxious Mrs. Zhao swept the couch and waited for her sister-in-law and Lin's mother and daughter to come to visit, and told Zhao Jinling early not to go out today, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, she also wants to call you a cousin, since she is a relative, there are not so many taboos, you take her around our house when you arrive, and make contact, I can't say that after Ling Er has seen it, I am afraid that I will urge my grandmother to hurry up and propose marriage!" The old lady quipped.
In the middle, Mrs. Mei and Lin's mother and daughter arrived, Mrs. Mei is a ruddy-faced, heart-to-heart old lady, as soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm here today, you have to make a few dishes from your house for me to satisfy my hunger, last time I ate the crab roe lion head at your place, and I went back to let the cook in the house burn it, I can't burn that taste, I have to eat enough today" Straight to the point that everyone laughed, Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law likes to eat, just come at any time, Save me an old woman in this house, speaking of which is also a mother's filial piety, I heard that I have a bad taste, and specially sent this cook" "The queen is really filial" Several people were full of praise, and they each saw the ceremony.
After taking a seat, the maids served tea, and everyone politely greeted a few words, Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin's mother and daughter with a satisfied face, Lin's mother and daughter are very similar, only Lin's is more delicate and beautiful, although she is in her thirties, her skin is fair, her eyebrows and eyes are gentle and beautiful, revealing the charm of a little woman.
Daughter Lin Wanqing looked very demure and dignified, born with a good appearance, with her own romantic posture, what is even more rare is that the rules and etiquette are not bad at all, but it seems to be raised in the palace, the old lady was quite surprised when she saw it for the first time, because Tongzhou is only a small place, and the Lin family is not a family with a background, how can this little girl of the Lin family have such perfect etiquette, the old lady pays attention to the Lin family, there is no such etiquette style, although she is full of doubts, but she has never thought much about it.
Facing Mrs. Zhao's scrutiny, Lin Wanqing only pursed her lips and smiled, without the slightest discomfort, she was generous, it was this calmness, not at all like a little girl who had never been in the world, the more Mrs. Zhao looked at it, the more satisfied she became. At this time, there was a maid outside who reported, "Old lady, the Hou Ye has come to greet you." Old Madam Zhao glanced at Lin Wanqing with a smile and said, "Let him come in, there are no outsiders in the house." ”
The maid opened the curtain, and walked into a tall man in the light outside, Lin Wanqing raised her eyes and looked, but she was a little stunned, this man was really handsome, with long eyebrows and sideburns, a pair of peach blossom eyes shining, as if the stars were falling in the eyes, a dark silver stripe was directly embellished, and he was wearing green satin boots on his feet.
Mrs. Zhao is gone, anyway, it is her own family, facing Zhao Jinling, there is no discomfort when she speaks, only Lin's mother and daughter, although Lin has seen him before, but at that time he was still a little teenager, not impressed, at this time to see him, he is already a majestic man, his face is cold, domineering, and people are a little frightened.
Lin Wanqing's face was indifferent, there was always a gentle smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes were full of smiles, and she sat silently, she was really gentle and generous, the old lady glanced at Zhao Jinling meaningfully, and the smile on her face was deep.
The old lady looked left and right, and saw that her grandson was handsome and upright, and the little girl was beautiful and demure, she was really a pair of wall people, and looked at Zhao Jinling happily and said, "Ling'er, you take your cousin to the garden for a walk, many flowers in the garden are blooming in the spring, and the little girl's family likes flowers and plants, so you don't have to accompany us old women to panic." ”
Lin Wanqing is generous, and she is a little uncomfortable with a strange man, but she also knows that she came with her mother today to see each other, and her father has been released for many years, just because there is no one to help him in Beijing, if he can't return to Beijing, he is afraid that his father's career will stop there, so the family heard that Zhenyuan Hou wants to find a continuation, so Mrs. Tomei said yes. Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing was not hypocritical, only slightly refused, and followed Zhao Jinling to the garden of the mansion.
Zhao Jinling glanced at Lin Wanqing, who was following behind him with small steps, and only glanced at her in the room, vaguely looking at a beautiful woman, delicate and soft, and talking like the voice of a yellow bird. At this time, I looked carefully outside, and saw her palm-sized melon seed face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, skin like snow, wearing a lilac lotus skirt, covered with an apricot white transparent gauze dress, wearing a crystal jasper hairpin on her head, on the coiled three thousand green silk, there are two or three silk flowers blooming with purple light, a lilac silver chain around her waist, which looks delicate and small, a pair of silver-white bracelets on her hands, no fat powder on her body, her skin is still blown, and the corners of her mouth show a faint smile. A pair of apricot white embroidered brocade shoes at the feet set off the beauty of infinitely.
It is indeed a woman with outstanding appearance, and her gestures are elegant and generous, and she is familiar, Zhao Jinling looked at her with some suspicion and said, "Cousin Lin, have you always stayed in Tongzhou with Uncle Lin?" ”
Lin Wanqing raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, since her father was released, the little girl has been staying in Tongzhou with her parents. Zhao Jinling looked at her smile and couldn't help but smile and said, "I still have some impressions of you, I remember that when you came to the house when you were a child, you liked to chase after me, and asked me to go to the pond to help you catch fish and fight butterflies." ”
Lin Wanqing lowered her head and blushed, it was still the original owner who did these things at that time, she lowered her head and said softly, "At that time, I was young and ignorant, but I was afraid that I would cause a lot of trouble to Master Hou." ”
Zhao Jinling saw that her chin was lowered, her face was delicate, and her voice was beautiful, she was already a very beautiful person, so delicate, adding three points of color, she couldn't help but say in a soft voice, "Cousin is too outward, you still call me Cousin Zhao, remember you, it is also because my cousin has been cute and cute since she was a child." ”
The two of them laughed and played in the garden to enjoy the flowers, Lin Wanqing is a very good talker, and good at observing words and feelings, every word she said is very heartwarming, and in a moment, Zhao Jinling's attitude towards her changed from polite to close, and when the two returned to the house, they were already familiar with the conversation, and the old lady looked at it with joy.
Everyone used the sumptuous banquet and said goodbye diligently, Lin's mother and daughter have recently lived in Meifu, returned to their courtyard, the two entered the house, Lin sat down and drank tea, and asked Lin Wanqing, who was reclining on the couch, "Qing'er, you and Marquis Zhao have been in the garden for a long time, do you think this can be done?" ”
Lin Wanqing lazily closed her eyes and said, "This is not the end, who knows?" With that, he leaned sideways and took a nap. Lin looked at his daughter's indifferent appearance, sighed in his heart, since his daughter woke up from falling into the water last year, her temperament has changed greatly, she has her own opinions in words and actions, and she no longer tells her what she has on her mind, and she is not very close to her mother, Lin glanced at Lin Wanqing who seemed to be asleep, took a blanket, covered her lightly, and quietly covered the door and went out.
Lin Wanqing opened her eyes, looking at the back of Lin's disappearing with complicated eyes, she knew that Lin's daughter was sincerely good, but she was not Lin's real daughter, there was a gap in her heart, she couldn't get close, she couldn't do what her original daughter did to her mother, and she still couldn't figure out why she was reborn in this Lin Wanqing, she looked ahead blankly, her mind was in chaos, she didn't know whether she should marry Marquis Zhao, her family wanted her to marry him, Because although Zhao Jinling is a marquis who has no real job, he is favored by the emperor, and he has a queen aunt who loves him.
Thinking that she died with hatred and unwillingness, she didn't expect that she would come back from the dead, but it was a dynasty that she had never heard of at all, all the hatred and unwillingness had nowhere to vent, and she was extremely depressed, or she would get married, she thought in her heart, this Marquis Zhao is not only powerful but also outstanding.
His handsome and extraordinary face appeared in front of him, but he was a little more romantic, although her family had not been in Beijing for many years, but it had also made people inquire, knowing that Marquis Zhao was the most fond of beauty, not only there were many concubines in the house, but there were also many good pink-headed prostitutes outside, but there were a few men who were not good at beauty, Lin Wanqing sneered, thinking that she was in the palace in her previous life, and the emperor was seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, not to mention the draft every three years, didn't she think she was drafted into the palace back then?
With her beauty and means, she was the most outstanding among the show girls, and she was originally outstanding in the emperor, but she was a slut like Shen Qinglian, who was scheming, clumsy at the beginning, deliberately pretending to be ugly, attracting the emperor's attention, and snatching her own favor Lin Wanqingsi and all kinds of previous lives, with a gloomy face and deep eyes.
On the side of the Marquis Zhenyuan's mansion, the old lady was also asking Zhao Jinling with a smile, "Ling'er, what do you think of Miss Lin, do you still like it?" Zhao Jinling pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandson looks at her as a transparent eyebrow, it is rare to have such eyes and come to things, not like those daughters who are squeamish and self-conscious, but a generous and funny person, and she is cute and tight when she looks at her." ”
The old lady listened to her grandson's praise, and suddenly smiled on her face, and said happily, "Then grandmother will order her for you!" Pick a good day, you can get married as soon as possible, and then give birth to a big fat grandson to your grandmother. The old lady had joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Zhao Jinling nodded, and hurriedly approached the old lady with a smile and said, "Grandmother, you see that your grandson is so obedient this time, and you will follow your wishes, and order Miss Lin, then the grandson will leave for Jiangzhou tomorrow, and when the marriage is completed, the grandson will come back." ”
The old lady was annoyed when she heard this, and grabbed his ear and scolded, "You monkey, grandmother is glad that you are willing to be obedient this time, and this is going to provoke grandmother, how can you order that the grandmother is not at home, and the grandmother is alone in this house, you can bear to let the grandmother, the old woman, work hard for your marriage."
Zhao Jinling was bitten by the old lady and yelled, "Grandmother, my grandson's ears are going to fall off, and it hurts to death" The old lady felt sorry for him, let go of her hand, and slapped him a few times and scolded.
Zhao Jinling rubbed his ears that were reddened, licked his face and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, my grandson still has so many businesses waiting in Jiangzhou, so I can stay in the capital for a long time." He really missed Lianniang in his heart, today he looked at Lin Wanqing's elegant gestures, and felt very familiar at the time, and then remembered that it was quite similar to Lianniang's usual behavior, but Lianniang had a more charming and natural state, thinking of this, he was more and more worried about Lianniang in his heart, and he didn't know if she would miss herself in the house.
Most of the time that the little one has no conscience will not, Zhao Jinling thought with itchy teeth, but the master was like taking her ** medicine, thinking about it day and night, and many beautiful concubines in the house were not interested in sleeping.
