Chapter Forty-Seven: Father and Daughter Night Talk
The closer the wedding day gets, the Lin family and the Ministry of Rites are getting more and more nervous.
The Ministry of Rites frequently came and went to the Lin family to confirm various matters related to the wedding.
Lin Ying just sent away a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to the Lin family to confirm the wedding process, and turned around and went back to the study.
Shortly after he sat down, the door to the study was opened.
Lin Yan, who was holding a tea set, stood at the door, smiled at him, and then walked in, saying: "Daddy has been busy since he returned to Beijing, and my daughter has not had a chance to talk to Daddy." Daddy hasn't drunk his daughter's tea for a long time, so it's good for her daughter to make tea for you. โ
Lin Ying smiled and beckoned to him, asked her to sit down beside her, and asked her, "These days, you are also tired of tossing." โ
Lin Yan smiled: "It's my father and second uncle who are tired, so I don't have to do anything." As he spoke, he raised the tea set in his hand: "Or is it the big red robe that Daddy likes?" โ
Lin Ying nodded at her and sighed: "It's better to have a daughter, your two younger brothers have grown up so big, but they haven't honored their father for a cup of tea." As he spoke, he was again worried about marrying his daughter.
His daughter, who was spoiled to such an age, finally cheapened someone else's family - even if this person was the emperor, he still felt that he was not worthy of her.
Lin Yan smiled at Lin Ying, and then put the kettle on the small stove.
To make a good pot of tea, the water naturally needs to be freshly boiled.
Lin Yan skillfully burns tea, grinds tea, Luo tea, and waits for soup, and after the water boils, the tea is boiled, and everything is ready, holding the whisk in one hand and pouring the soup in the other.
The fragrance of tea comes out, and it comes slowly.
Lin Ying enjoyed smelling the fragrance of tea, and then said, "What kind of spring water is this?" โ
Lin Yan said: "It was sent by Uncle Zhuang's second uncle, and it was said that it was spring water from an ancient spring in the south of the Yangtze River." My daughter tasted it, and the spring water was very clear. As he spoke, he brought the teacup in his hand to his father.
Lin Ying took it and took a sip and tasted it carefully.
Lin Yan asked, "How is it, my daughter's craftsmanship has not regressed, right?" โ
Lin Ying smiled at her and nodded, "Yes, my daughter's craftsmanship is good." As he spoke, he took two more sips of tea.
After two cups of tea, the tea in the belly was full, and the father and daughter sat on the couch and talked.
Lin Ying turned his head to look at Lin Yan, touched her hair, and sighed: "Yuan Yuan, Daddy ......" He said this, but he didn't seem to be able to continue. He had thousands of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say a word at this time.
He closed his eyes and paused for a while before he opened his eyes again and said, "If you marry into the palace, it's not like at home, you have to be careful in everything." โ
Lin Yan said: "My daughter understands. โ
Lin Ying said again: "The Lin family has buried some manpower in the palace, and we will hand over these manpower to you." But these hands are dark chess, and they should not be used lightly unless necessary, unless they are in danger. โ
Lin Yan said: "Yes." โ
Lin Ying said again: "Yuan Yuan, you are the pearl of your father and mother, your father and mother never thought of marrying you into the royal family before, I only hope that you will marry into a family with a clean and peaceful family, and under the protection of your parents, you will be safe and prosperous all your life." But when people live in the world, there is always something helpless, and no one thinks of ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Lin Yan said: "My daughter understands that my father and mother and the Lin family have protected my daughter for so long, and everything my daughter wears and eats is given by the Lin family, and now it's time for my daughter to protect the Lin family." โ
Lin Ying shook Lin Yan's hand.
Men and women are not seated at the age of seven, and even fathers and daughters should avoid taboos.
Since Lin Yan was seven years old, Lin Ying has rarely held her in her arms or held it in her hands as she did when she was a child.
Inadvertently, he realized that his daughter's fingers were already so long, and this was no longer the warm and soft child he used to hold in his arms. When he was angry, he would hug his neck and kiss him on the cheek, and then look at him with a smile, which made his heart soften, and then he couldn't lose his temper.
Lin Ying said: "Dad and your mother have four children, you are our first child, among so many children, your meaning to your father and mother is always different." When Daddy was young, he mixed up and made your mother so angry that she was disheartened, if it weren't for you, your mother would still refuse to forgive your father. So Dad has always been very grateful and very glad to have you. โ
Lin Ying sighed again: "But you have been sensible since you were a child, you will be considerate of your parents, considerate of your younger siblings, let us involuntarily treat you as an adult, sometimes I don't know where to start when I want to hurt you, so my father has always felt ashamed of you." โ
"Your temperament is not like mine, I am short-tempered, and I am not like your mother, your mother is also used to tossing people sometimes when she twists it up, you have a wide heart and see things clearly, but this is good, not good. It's not easy to embarrass yourself, and you can think about it when you encounter injustice, but it's not good, it's easy to wronged yourself. Sometimes Dad wants you to be more arrogant and do whatever you want. โ
Lin Yan deliberately joked: "If it is really as my father hopes, there will be a queen of Bahu at that time, it will not be the blessing of the harem and the people." โ
Lin Ying's face was straight, and he said: "Queen Bahu will be Queen Bahu, as long as the Lin family does not fall, will anyone dare to abolish the queen." โ
This is just a reassuring thing, Lin Ying and Lin Yan both understand that the harem and the court have always been inseparable. Lin Yan's future queen will rely on the Lin family to gain a foothold, and the Lin family also needs Lin Yan to protect the voyage in the court.
At least one day, if the Lin family makes a mistake and Lin Yan turns around in front of the emperor, the ending will be different.
Lin Ying warned Lin Yan again: "Daddy is a man, I know what men think in their hearts." After entering the palace, you put half of your heart on the emperor, and if you treat the emperor sincerely, the emperor will put you in his heart. The emperor is not a ruthless person, just look at how he treats your aunt. But the other half of your heart can't be put on the emperor. You have to love Him, but you can't love Him with all your heart. โ
"You are separated from the emperor by a lot of years, and you are separated by generations, which is what my father is most worried about, I am afraid that you don't know how to get along with the emperor."
She only has one choice for the emperor, but the emperor's harem has countless red faces, and as long as he wants, he can have more. As long as the emperor can't get what he wants in her, he will turn around and find comfort from other concubines. The emperor will not wait for her to get used to him.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter thinks she is still a very likable girl." As he spoke, he put his finger on his face and said, "What's more, you forgot, the emperor still liked his daughter when he was a child." โ
Lin Ying smiled, but her face was still sad.
How can the liking for juniors and the liking for the love between men and women be the same. What he is most worried about is that after the wedding, the emperor will only treat her as a junior, and he can't afford to give birth to the love of men and women.
