Chapter 14: Rumors

Mi'er heard the rumors and didn't care. However, in this Lin Mansion, the news of Mi'er and Lin Xi's dog men and women reached the ears of Lin Xi's father Lin Xiang, and Lin's father was furious, and immediately disposed of Lin Xi's family law, without listening to any explanation, and forbade Lin Xi to meet Mi'er, Lin Xi was grounded in the Lin Mansion, and he was very concerned about Mi'er.

Mi Zheng and Zhenyu hurriedly explained to the people around them, the more they described, the darker and darker, and they were miserably blinded by the people around them, but the business of the Mi family restaurant was very good, everyone came to this restaurant to see the jokes of the Mi family, but this Mi Tu was secretly proud, Mi Tu was greedy for money, but the news of Mi Er and Lin Xi was deliberately spread by Mi Tu's subordinates, one was to make the restaurant business prosperous, and the other was trapped in Lin Xi and Mi Er in their next plan, and profited from it, killing two birds with one stone, helpless Mi'er, but Mi Tu was a chess piece.

Seeing that this rumor was fierce, Zhenyu was anxious, worried about her daughter, and couldn't eat, Mitu and his wife Chen Ziyu, who were eating at the table, saw that their mother was restless, and they also ate silently without speaking. Xiaochan and Chen Ziyu's maid were waiting by the side, and Mi'er had always stayed alone in her room to eat.

"Mi'er's father, what do you say this Mi'er can do in the future, his daughter's reputation has been spread so badly and ruined, how can she marry in the future? Who would dare to marry my Mi'er? ”

"That's just as Mi'er wants, we have to support her for the rest of our lives."

"I'll tell you seriously, how can you act like you're fine, say it so easily, Mi'er will be a virtue with you."

"At this time, what's the use of worrying and panicking, what should come will always come, can't hide, accept it calmly, the Mi family happens to have a son, the name was Mi'er, don't you just want a son, who knows it's a daughter, but now it's true, what's wrong."

"I look at you, that's what you said verbally, after so many years, I still don't understand, in my heart, it's strange that I'm not worried about your daughter who has been spoiled by you." Zhenyu said a word, and Mi was thinking.

Zhenyu and Mi Zheng said one by one, Mi Tu interjected: "Mother, I look at Mi'er's affairs, don't worry, Xu Wenzhi, the son of the Xu family, doesn't mind this rumor from the outside world, and says that he wants the bright matchmaker to marry us Mi'er!" ”

"Is that really the case?" Zhenyu asked eagerly.

"I said Ziyu, right?" Mitu gave Ziyu a look.

"Mother, yes, my cousin told me that my cousin's personality is quite reliable." The gentle Chen Ziyu responded.

"I look at this matter of Xu Gongzi, I still have to think about it, whether it is reliable or not, it is better to let Mi Er decide for herself." Mi Zheng interrupted, faintly dissatisfied with Xu Wenwan in his heart, but it was difficult to say it directly on Chen Ziyu's face. Secretly pulled the corner of the real raincoat and signaled not to worry. So Zhenyu wanted to talk and stopped, and didn't say much.

Seeing that the two of them were hesitant and had no answer, Mitu left the decision to Mi'er, so he stopped talking. Thinking about the idea in his heart, the target turned to Mi'er. When Chen Ziyu left, Mitu tried his best to persuade Zhenyu and Mi Zheng.

"Dad, mother, I think that Xu Gongzi is good, if Mi'er marries, you two are the in-laws of the county order, now there are rumors outside, that Xu Gongzi doesn't mind at all, he likes my Mi'er, it can be said that he treats Mi'er sincerely, what else do you two hesitate about?"

"You don't know that Xu Gongzi's virtue, a womanizer, how can I give my daughter to him lightly!" Mi Zheng said indignantly.

Zhenyu was surprised and asked urgently, "What?" How so? ”

"The last time I molested Xiaochan in the backyard, I saw it with my own eyes, but because of the situation, I had to wronged Xiaochan."

"This thing turned out to be true, no wonder Xiaochan and Mi'er blamed you for being wronged, this Xu Gongzi is such a person!" Zhenyu said indignantly, but he didn't observe Mitu's embarrassed face, only to learn that this Xu Wen had done such a stupid thing, and Mitu saw his father say this, so he didn't say anything for the time being, and went out to leave.

Mitu went back to the room and pondered in his house, it is not enough to rely on this Chen Ziyu relationship alone, and he must take the bridge of Mi'er again.

The next day, seeing that his mother Zhenyu was in her restaurant and there was no one around, he stepped forward and approached Zhenyu.

"Mother! You see, business has been good these days, and you are tired enough, go and rest for a while, and leave the chores to the children. ”

Seeing Mitu talking, Zhenyu showed a look of joy on his face, and then passed by, Mitu has always been good at observing words and colors, and this Zhenyu expression has long been seen by Mitu. "Mother, are you still worried about Mi'er?"

"How can I not be worried, the people who come to this restaurant dare not say anything in front of me, but behind this back, they actually say some ugly words, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart." Zhenyu had a sad face, and looked out of the building in the distance.

Mitu and Zhenyu stood side by side, first pretending to worry about Mi'er, and looking out of the building, there was a cool scenery outside the building, and the pedestrians in the streets and alleys wore thick clothes and bowed their heads to pass by, and their mothers were worried, but they thought about it, and suddenly turned to Zhenyu, and said: "Mother, seeing that this Spring Festival is over, we will prepare for the township examination, this Lin Xi is also about to finish, presumably it should be the age of talking about marriage, I think this Lin Xi is also very interested in Mi'er, it is better to call this Lin Xi to marry my Mi'er, then the outside world rumors are nothing more than nothing, the so-called Lang Qing concubine, Just suitable. ”

When Zhenyu heard this, it was very reasonable, and he nodded again and again: "Why didn't I expect it, you are indeed about to finish, just right." After thinking about it, he said gloomily: "It's just that this Lin Mansion has always been in the depths of the bamboo forest outside the streets and alleys, and there is less contact with people, so I naturally haven't seen Lin Xi's father, I don't know what he means, can't we extract family affairs from the Lin family, right?" Especially difficult, how to be good? ”

"What my mother said is that it is indeed inappropriate to ask you to go to the Lin Mansion to talk about this matter for no reason, but there is no way to do it, so it is better to do this, after Chinese New Year's Eve, I will visit my mother on my behalf." First, visit as Lin Xi's classmate, so as not to be embarrassed; Second, as a junior, I explored the tone of the Lin Mansion to see if I intended to marry Mi'er, and if I was rejected, it would not hurt, and then I prevaricated that I was joking. ”

Zhenyu heard Mitu say this, and felt that relatively speaking, it was appropriate in no other way, so he agreed with Mitu's opinion and instructed Mitu to handle this matter on his behalf at that time.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mitu took gifts and stepped into a quiet place, Lin Mansion.

The forest mansion is breezy and elegant, revealing a wonderful scenery of the fusion of nature and architecture. Mitu looked up and down, only to feel that he lacked some wealth and grandeur, which was very different from his own taste. Lin's father Lin Xiang and Lin Xi received, Lin Xiang's indifferent mentality made Mitu uncomfortable, Mitu just wanted to get to the point quickly, and left. During the tea talk, Mitu revealed his intention to chat with Lin Xiang alone, and Lin Xi left and returned to the study.

"Uncle Lin, why didn't you see Mrs. Lin? I guess I've gone to visit relatives and friends, right? ”

Seeing Mi Tu say this, Lin Xiang's face changed slightly, and he paused: "Presumably you are visiting today, avoiding Lin Xi, and there are other things to talk about, right?" ”

Mitu hurriedly laughed and said, "Uncle Lin is really a smart person, he really can't hide something from you." I won't go around the bend, let's get straight to the point, I'm here today, it's really a matter of Lin Xi and Mi'er. ”

"Oh, I've heard about the dog and Miss Mi, I don't know what you mean?"

"You also know that the news of the two of them is spreading everywhere outside, which is particularly ugly, and my father is very angry."

"I have grounded Lin Xi and are not allowed to meet Miss Mi again, but this rumor, my Lin Mansion will not escape the involvement, the dog is young and ignorant, and I hope to understand. As for how to compensate for the loss of your Mi family, to be willing to accept any conditions, you don't let it go and listen to it. ”

"The conditions of my Mi family are also simple, I just hope that the son of the Lin family will not go to me Mi'er again, the reputation of this daughter's family is particularly important, Uncle Lin must understand, right?"

"That's natural, this condition is not too much at all, I will strictly discipline the dogs, and never disturb your Mi'er again, please rest assured."

"That's a good thing, Uncle Lin is really a refreshing and understanding person."

"Where, where." Lin Xiang and Mitu hit it off like this, and the conversation between the two was particularly smooth, but the two liked the style, and they both rejected each other in their hearts.

But it was said that the lady of the Lin family, Wu Yuan, Lin Xi's mother, was not in this Yong'an City. Wu Yuan is the sister of the King of Yue, the eldest princess of Nanyue, because she lives in the city of Coke, the king of Yue is seriously ill and seals the country, and dies soon after. The eldest princess belongs to the Yelang Kingdom, the monarch of the Yelang Kingdom is Wu Yi, born to the queen, the queen has only one son, Wu Tu, Wu Yi, Wu Zhao, and Wu Ye are all half-brothers.

Why did Lin Xiang run to this Yong'an City to live in seclusion, it has to start from ten years ago, Lin Xiang was originally a talented man in the dynasty, and when he was young, he got acquainted with Wu Jing, the king of Chu Chu, and Wu Jing, the king of Chu, introduced Lin Xiang to his sister Wu Yuan, and the three became friends, Wu Yuan admired Lin Xiang and his talent, and then fell in love with Lin Xiang.

Later, Wu Jing, the king of Southern Chu, became the crown prince, his temperament changed abruptly, and after becoming the emperor, he asked everyone to bow to him, Lin Xiang has always been high and boastful, how can he be like others to pat on the back, and everywhere is disadvantaged, which makes the king of Chu very unhappy, so he alienates Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang was depressed and no longer interfered in court politics, and the eldest princess of Wuyuan couldn't get used to Lin Xiang's decadent style, and often quarreled with Lin Xiang, and the relationship between the two gradually faded. At this time, the eldest princess had given birth to Lin Xiang a son Lin Xi privately, and the king of Southern Chu gave the eldest princess who gave birth to a son out of wedlock to the son of the prime minister in order to stabilize the situation.

Lin Xiang was angry, and took Lin Xi away from Coke and came to Gunuo Yong'an City to live in seclusion.

Since Lin Xiang left, the eldest princess secretly inquired about the whereabouts of her son Lin Xi, and later learned that Lin Xi was in Gunuo Yong'an City, and every year he would always send someone to send a large number of items as consolation, and attached letters. Although Lin Xi had not seen his mother for many years, he had never seen each other's letters, and Lin Xiang saw that Lin Xi seemed to be extremely happy every time he brought the letters, so he did not prevent his mother and son from contacting, so the letters exchanged for ten years.
