Chapter 217: Wangfu Xiang?
PS: Sorry, the update was a little late.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the tea in Zhenyuan's Marquis Mansion is still a little better than what Lin Yu is used to drinking. After greeting at the door, Lin Yu, who finally sat down, took a sip of the teacup, and Mrs. Lin didn't speak, and the atmosphere was cold for a while.
This is normal, although the two are sitting together at this time, but many previous unpleasantness does not mean that it has not happened. It's like putting an extra spoonful of salt in the soup, although it can barely be drunk, but it is definitely not delicious.
After the cold end, it was Mrs. Lin who opened her mouth first, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to really come, it is rumored that you have left Beijing?" ”
"I also often live in the Zhuangzi now." Lin Yu naturally couldn't tell her the truth, so he just smiled.
Old Madam Lin said, "Yes, the Seventh Prince is about to get married now, you want to avoid suspicion, or your aunt will help you introduce one-"
Lin Yu was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth, "No need, I'm about to get engaged, aunt." ”
Feelings are waiting here, Lin Yu was a little impatient in his heart, thinking that he would leave after drinking this cup of tea, looking at Mrs. Lin's spirit seems to be good, and she should rest assured.
She is Yin Susu's sister-in-law, and it is normal for Mrs. Lin to have other thoughts, and it is actually a good move to ease the relationship with Yin Susu by wooing herself. After all, the ancient righteous knot Jin Lan was still very serious, although he didn't dare to compare with his brothers and sisters, but he was not the weight of ordinary friends.
"Getting engaged? Which family is the other party? Is it a child of a family? Is the family thick or not? Old Madam Lin seemed to be really concerned, but asked with great concern.
Lin Yu took a sip of tea gently. The aroma of tea spread in her mouth, and then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled. "I'm not innocent in the end, how easy is it to marry a good child of a family? It's really unsuccessful, greedy for a false name, and marrying is also a sin. ”
Old Madam Lin was speechless for a moment, Lin Yu's innocent reputation was caused by her and her son. There was silence for a moment before she muttered. "Xiaoyu, don't blame your aunt, I-"
Lin Yu actually really wanted to hear what she had to say. It's a pity that her heart is still too soft, and seeing that the old lady is not young, she was embarrassed and couldn't speak, so she interrupted her. Laughed.
"Auntie. Don't worry, I'm also remarried, so naturally I won't nod my head easily, and my eyes will be confused by some things. Although the other party is not a child of a family, he is a good person, has talent and ability, and has a solid family background, but he is poorer. I'll just help you out. ”
"That's good, that's good." Old Madam Lin was still a little embarrassed. She is also a smart person, why don't you know that Lin Yu actually gagged her when she mentioned this, but fortunately, Lin Yu had no intention of killing everything, and gave herself a step down.
Lin Yu thought that his attitude was already very clear, but who knew that not long after Lu Dao, Mrs. Lin said again. "You should also know that your cousin has been unsatisfactory recently, he is the third prince, and his power in the court has also decreased greatly. The county lord of Zhaoya is the teacher of the princess and princess, and she often walks the court, have you heard anything from her? ”
Probably this matter was too much in Mrs. Lin's heart, and without saying a few words of gossip, Mrs. Lin began to pour bitter water on Lin Yu again.
However, she also asked the right person, Lin Yu really knows a lot about this matter, at least more than Mrs. Lin, and even the people of the three princes and the family of Yin Susu who attacked her know very well, after all, she is also a little related to that matter.
However, Lin Yu couldn't say it to Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin kept pouring bitter water and made her a little bored.
So, Lin Yu spoke, "Auntie, have you ever considered physiognomy, eight characters or something." ”
Old Madam Lin was stunned for a moment when she said this, and didn't react, "Eh, what did you say?" ”
"I mean, physiognomy and numerology and stuff, do you want to find a master? You see, since Zhang entered the door, everything has not gone smoothly. What was the situation when the Zhang family entered the door at that time, did you call someone to join the eight characters? ”
"It's a combination, and it is also said that the piano is harmonious, but there is also the possibility of fraud in the eight-character thing." Old Madam Lin seemed to be persuaded by Lin Yu, and said thoughtfully. "I can't guarantee that Pingzhi, the rebel, will find someone to change Zhang's eight characters in order to let that fox spirit enter the door."
Lin Yu nodded and continued, "In order to marry into a high gate, some women do have many women who quietly change their eight characters like this. However, the eight characters can be deceived, and if you have a face, it is not easy to deceive. ”
At the moment, I can't do cosmetic surgery, and whoever wears a mask all day long at home is a real face. It is not as accurate as many plastic surgeries in later generations, and it is difficult to look at the face accurately. Having said that, what he said to the master who looked at his face back then was quite accurate, saying that if he could not die in a catastrophe, he would have a blessing in the future, but now he is considered dead, or is he not dead?
No matter what Lin Yu muttered in her heart, Mrs. Lin was faintly persuaded by Lin Yu, "What you said seems to have some truth, and I have heard that some women are kefu or something." ”
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Some women are born to be Wangfu, and some women are unblessed, not only can't help their husbands, but also reduce the blessings of their husbands' families." Many people want to take a look at each other, after all, they are either beautiful or blessed. ”
"Listen to what you said, Xiaoyu, you seem to know a little?"
Lin Yu's words were in line with Old Madam Lin's thoughts. Since the Zhang family entered the door, the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has not stopped, and it was originally just a joke in the aristocratic circle. Because of Lu Pingzhi's infatuation, it was barely half discredited, but when Zhang Wan'er really entered the door, all kinds of embarrassing incidents emerged one after another, and she completely became a laughing stock.
"I don't know much, but I've been bored watching a little bit lately. But I said aunt, don't be angry, Mrs. Yin is a unique wangfu in a thousand miles, and I don't know which blessed person can marry in the future. ”
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she believed it even more, and she was thinking about when she would let someone meet Zhang Wan'er. It goes without saying that Yin Susu's appearance is talented. During her tenure as Mrs. Marquis of Zhenyuan, the entire Hou Mansion was in order, so where did Mrs. Lin need to worry about it.
At that time, Lu Pingzhi was rising all the way. almost became the youngest general in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if it weren't for the weathering problem with Zhang Wan'er and being recalled by the angry emperor, but if he continued to stay in the southwest, it was very likely to become a general, and there was no such predicament in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at the moment.
At the moment, Yin Susu is still living a prosperous life. The position of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion is really embarrassing. Although he married the wealthy Zhang family, the Zhang family's business is not good at the moment, and it is a mess. Even if the silver is offered, it is given to the three princes, and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has not reaped any benefits in the end.
Although Zhang Wan'er brought a lot of dowry by herself, she clutched it tightly. I didn't go into the public school at all. She is used to luxury at home. Everything is the best. The combined beauty of ten Zhang Wan'er is not as good as Yin Susu's, but one Zhang Wan'er's money for jewelry and clothes is worth ten Yin Susu, and these money are all from the public, not Zhang Wan'er herself.
After Lu Pingzhi returned to Beijing to take up his post, the extra money was already reduced, and now there is a Zhang Wan'er who can spend money very much, and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has a lot of deficits every month. After a fierce and secret battle between Mrs. Lin and Zhang Wan'er that day, they finally mastered the power of housekeeping. The jubilant mood was swept away after seeing the monthly deficit, and I almost fainted.
Less than half a year. Zhang Wan'er spent 150,000 taels of silver alone, and the original balance of 30,000 taels on the account of the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was all spent, and all the silver originally accumulated was also lost! This is not enough, and a foreign debt of nearly 20,000 taels is owed! At that moment, Old Madam Lin really wanted to throw the account book on Zhang Wan'er's face and let her take care of it.
Look at the others who are good friends with Yin Susu, even Qingqing's little girl is turned over, if it weren't for Lin Yu's unsmart and unknown to the prince, maybe even the prince's side concubine would be the prince's concubine now. The more Mrs. Lin thought about it, the more she felt that she was miserable, and she married Zhang Wan'er, a mourning star, and deeply felt that what Lin Yu said made sense, and regretted that she had forgotten this before.
"Do you have a master who knows the Tao and sees it more accurately?" So, Old Madam Lin made up her mind and asked.
"I don't know this way, I have never been in contact with such a person. But my aunt can ask others, I think other ladies should have a good face, recommended by the master. Lin Yu said with a smile.
"That's right, you used to live in the Hou Mansion, and you've only lived by yourself for less than a year, and you're still more knowledgeable for older people. Think about it, it seems that the old lady of the Su family believes in this? Ming'er, I'll call someone to say hello. ”
Do you really believe it? Lin Yu smiled secretly in his heart, whether the numerology of the face is accurate or not, he is not particularly sure. But as the saying goes, if you divorce your ex-wife and have nothing to eat, if there is a way in heaven, she will not bless Chen Shimei.
Moreover, you have made an enemy of Yin Susu for nothing, and it is almost impossible to get better. That is to say, the focus of Yin Susu's attack is not on you, otherwise just wait and cry. Lin Yu had no doubt that if Yin Susu really wanted to take revenge on the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion with all his might, none of the family would want to escape. Of course, in Yin Susu's view, such a thing is not cost-effective, it is not worth doing seriously, and it is good to have a suitable opportunity to fall into the ground.
Let's not talk about Yin Susu, let's talk about a few abandoned concubines, even if they are themselves, they can be regarded as peaceful, and they don't want to watch the cadres of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion live happily together like in Qiong Yao's novel. Seeing the bad luck of Zhenyuan Marquis Lu Pingzhi and Zhang Wan'er being unlucky, how could there be a little gloomy happiness in my heart.
Of course, spitting is spitting bad, expression management still has to be done well, Lin Yu still discussed it with Mrs. Lin very seriously. Mrs. Lin listened to Lin Yu's half-understood words, and almost regarded them as the truth, and she didn't want to ease the relationship with Yin Susu through Lin Yu, but focused on discussing the woman's physiognomy.
It's also a bad time for Lin Yu to come, it's already a little past lunch. In the face of Mrs. Lin's warm invitation, it was a bit inappropriate to insist on leaving, so she did not refrain from having lunch with Mrs. Lin.
The two were discussing rumors about numerology and physiognomy while eating, and they saw the chief steward of the Hou Mansion walking in, followed by a young pregnant woman with a big belly, and a little maid ring holding a pregnant woman.
Tsk, it's still an acquaintance, Lin Yu looked at the woman's familiar face, and then remembered, isn't this his former colleague, the former concubine of the Marquis of Zhenyuan? (To be continued.) )
