Chapter 29: Discontent
Lin Yan accompanied Mrs. Zhuang in the backyard for a while, and after Zisu came over and told her that the Li family had finished meeting guests, Lin Yan got up and went to the Li family.
Li was sitting on the couch, worried about a few famous letters on the table.
Seeing her come in, he beckoned her to come and sit down, then handed her a few famous posters, and asked her, "I want to set up a family affair for your third aunt, which family do you think is suitable?" β
Lin Yan asked, "Why didn't grandmother give it to the third aunt to choose for herself?" β
Li snorted and said: "Let her choose, then there is only one result, I can only raise her at home as an old girl." β
Lin Yan looked at a few famous cards in her hand, there were Jinshi from a poor family, a martial arts hall with a low grade, and a concubine or side branch of the family, according to Lin Li's eyes above the top, it was indeed not very in line with her expectations.
Li said: "I think about her temperament, but I am a little willing to find him a military attachΓ©, who is stronger and stronger, so that he can control her." β
Lin Yan smiled and said: "Most of the military attaches are rectum, and there will not be so many twists and turns in their hearts. "At that time, the most likely situation is not that the military attache will suppress Lin Lai, but that he will be sold by Lin Li and help her count the money.
Lin Yan continued: "If you want me to see it, it is better to find a reader for the third aunt." The scholar looks honest, but he has the most intestines, so let him fight with the third aunt, maybe the two of them are fighting, but they are fighting together. β
Li Shi thought about it, put down the famous sticker of the six-product experience in his hand, and took the post of the Hanmen Jinshi from Lin Yan's hand and looked at it. I thought about it in my heart, and said in my heart, since this is the case, let people inquire about this person tomorrow.
This person can have fancy intestines, and it doesn't matter if he is poor, but he can't have a bad character.
Although she doesn't like Lin Li very much, she doesn't want to marry her into the fire pit, find a good family for her to marry, and give her a generous dowry, which can be regarded as worthy of the grandfather of the old country.
At this time, standing outside the door, Lin Wan, who heard their conversation, stood for a while, lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then immediately turned her head and walked outside Funing Hall.
Halfway through, he met Shisu who came in with a food box, and Zisu said a little strangely: "Second Miss, didn't you say that you were going to say hello to Mrs. Tai, why did you come out so quickly." β
Lin Wan shook her head, and then hurried away without stopping.
Zi Su looked at her hurried steps and muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry, is there a ghost chasing behind?" "I feel in my heart that the concubine is really the concubine, and the little family is always full of anger. Then he shook his head helplessly, and then continued to carry the food box into the house.
After Lin Wan came out of Funing Hall, she went directly to Lin Li's courtyard.
Lin Lai was still copying the family motto, and there was a mother-in-law standing next to her who was looking at her, and when she saw Lin Lai coming in, she cried bitterly: "Maid, you finally came to see me, and my hand will be broken." Mother is really ruthless this time, she just can't see me better. If my father was here, how could he let people bully me like this. β
The woman frowned, but said nothing.
Fu Mo asked her to come just to look at Miss Ran, but she didn't say that she should discipline Miss Ran, she just told Fu Mo what she heard and saw.
Lin Wan glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, and seemed to be speechless.
Lin Li is good at watching the color, and immediately said to the mother-in-law: "You go out first, I want to rest for a while and whisper a few words to the maid." β
The woman stood still.
Lin Lai said angrily: "You just watch outside the door, are you afraid that I will run away or are you afraid that the maid will help me copy, don't worry, the handwriting of the maid is different from mine." β
The mother-in-law thought about it, after all, she was the lady in the house, and she still had to give some face. said: "Miss Lai and Miss Second should talk quickly, otherwise, a hundred times of the family motto will not be copied before the New Year." After saying that, he curtled his knees and went out and stood at the door.
Lin Lai went out and slammed the door shut, then turned around and asked Lin Wan, "Maid, do you have anything to say to me?" β
Lin Wan leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, Lin Li's face was furious after hearing this, she slapped her hand on the table, and scolded: "I knew that old pious woman would not let me go, she actually wanted to use my marriage to take revenge on me." β
After all, Li is Lin Wan's own grandmother, Lin Wan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the words "old pious woman", and was about to say something, but at this time, Lin Li came over and grabbed Lin Wan's hand and said: "Maid, you must help me, I will never marry that kind of poor boy." β
Lin Wan comforted her and said, "Third aunt, don't worry, things may not be as bad as we think." I listened to my grandmother, that person is actually still a jinshi, maybe he will ...... in the future."
Lin Li interrupted her and said: "What about Jinshi, a poor Jinshi, without any foundation on his body, even if he can be an official Hengda in the future, by the time he survives to the point of soaring, I will already become a white-haired old woman." Do you really want me to learn from Wang Baochuan and wait for eighteen years, but don't forget, even if Wang Baochuan waits for eighteen years, Xue Pinggui finally brings back a princess of Xiliang. Also, there are very few people who can be admitted to the Jinshi at a young age, and with the strength of that old pious woman who hates me, she will definitely find me an old and ugly man, maybe that man is older than the second and third brothers. Maid, I only ask you, if it were you, would you like to marry her. β
Lin Wan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and then said, "But how can I help you, grandmother won't listen to me." β
Lin Lai was so anxious that she walked back and forth in the house, a Lin Wan who had no status in the Lin family was really not up to the task, she really regretted that she didn't please the Li family before.
She used to think that there was an old Guogong here, and the Li family didn't dare to do anything to her, she didn't need to please the Li family at all, but she didn't think that the old Guogong didn't survive until she got married and died. Later, she also thought about currying favor with the Li family, but the Li family was quite a little unkind to her, and she was kind to her on the face, and the benefits that should be given to her were not given to her at all. She was also a little impatient in her heart, thinking that with her beauty and means, even without the Li family, she would not believe that she would not be able to find a good family.
At this time, it is regret, and it seems too late to please the Li family now.
Lin Wan watched her come and go, and was anxious for her, but she really couldn't think of a good way, so she held back for a long time before she said a sentence: "Why don't you go and ask Aunt Xia?" β
Lin Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, and said, "Why didn't I think of it, my aunt has always had a way." And the winter solstice is coming, I also go to Qingliang Temple to visit my aunt at this time of year, so I just take this opportunity to go. β
Lin Wan saw that she had a way, and she was also relieved.
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly turned her eyes and glanced at her, and reminded her with a deep meaning on her face: "Maid, I think you should be careful." Just look at my example, where will those mothers-in-law let the concubines and daughters get good, my mother is like this to me, I think the third sister-in-law may also do the same and marry you to a low-class family. You, let's hurry up and please the third sister-in-law, I just don't know if it's too late now......" said and sighed, looking worried about Lin Wan.
Lin Wan heard this suddenly, her body immediately chilled, and she said in a trembling voice: "No, no, there is a father." But even she didn't believe what she said.
