Chapter 164: Acknowledging Relatives (2nd Watch)
Lin Shi took Mu Yan's hand and entered the flower hall.
The girl's fingers were very soft, and Lin felt that she couldn't hold it enough.
Having missed fourteen years, she didn't want to miss another quarter of an hour of intimate contact with her daughter.
Mu Yan kept his eyebrows down, and his fingers were wrapped in Lin's palm, which was very warm.
In the flower hall sat Master Mu and Aunt Chen, Zhao, she recognized, another man she had never seen before, but she could guess that it must be Lord Lin.
And it happened that Lin Jiaying also looked at him, Lin Jiaying only glanced at it, and his heart jumped suddenly, this girl looks too similar to his sister when she was young, but the eyebrows and eyes look a little like that man......
Thinking of that man, Lin Jiaying's heart hurts fiercely, if he hadn't brought Lan Zhengfeng into the mansion to meet his sister, he wouldn't have this child.
Bad fate, bad fate, a bad fate, but the most innocent is the child.
His fingers trembled, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "You are Mu Yan?" ”
Mu Yan lowered his eyebrows and bowed his knees.
He immediately waved his hand, "No need to be polite, come over and let Daddy see." ”
The word "Daddy" made Mu Yan unable to move.
Zhao felt that her husband was too anxious, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took Mu Yan's hand, smiling gently, "Are you frightened?" Good boy, in fact, when we knew that you were our daughter, we were also shocked, but we are indeed your blood relatives, I am your mother, and you were born in October when I was pregnant. ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but quietly glance at Lin's face, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Lin is the biological mother, but it's a pity that she can only stand behind her and watch.
At this time, Master Mu also spoke, and his tone was gentle, "Yan girl, Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin are indeed your biological parents, and they came today to take you away, you see, what do you think?" ”
Mu Yan's left hand was in Lin's hand, and her right hand was held by Zhao's, and her lips moved, "I ......"
Bite one's tongue.
The old lady immediately said, "After all, it happened suddenly, and this girl hasn't reacted for a while!" ”
"yes, yes, yes, it will take about time for her to calm down." Aunt Chen smiled like a flower, stepped forward lightly, and said in Mu Yan's ear, "Silly girl, Mrs. Lin is really your biological mother, don't doubt it, you see that so many of us can't lie to you, right?" ”
Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted in a low voice, "Mother......"
The surprise in Lin's eyes suddenly spread, and she almost blurted out an answer.
But in the end, I endured.
"What a good boy." Zhao was afraid that Lin would answer, so he quickly patted Mu Yan's hand and said, "Your father and I want to take you away today, you see that your aunt is here for this, what do you think?" Come back with us? ”
Now that they have recognized each other, they can't rush to go back, in case Mu Yan is reluctant to leave, it is okay to stay here for a day or two.
However, Mu Yan really didn't want to stay in Mu Mansion for a day in her heart, if she could, she wanted to leave immediately, and she didn't even bother to pack her things.
But before leaving, she still wanted to meet Mu Nianrou, and she didn't want to deal with other people at all.
"Wouldn't it be too hasty to leave today?" Mrs. Mu suddenly spoke, saying, "After all, I have been raised in our house for fourteen years, and if I want to leave, I must always talk to everyone." It's better to have a banquet in the evening, have a meal together, and send the girl away tomorrow morning, what do you think? ”
Lin and Zhao exchanged a look with each other.
Now it seems that it is indeed a bit hasty to pick people up like this, and when outsiders see it, they think that it is not the Mu family that has abused Mu Yan, so they will leave immediately without emotion.
Morally, it really shouldn't be.
Lin Jiaying is also a person walking in the officialdom, thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, since the old lady has a banquet, it is better to be respectful." ”
The old lady immediately ordered Aunt Chen to handle the matter, but she felt that Aunt Chen was not safe enough, so she asked Mama Hu to notify the second and third wives and let the three of them go to the matter together.
Lin Shi held Mu Yan's hand tightly and didn't let go, and said, "It's the first time I've come to your mansion, I don't know if I can let Yan Yatou take us to the garden for a walk?" ”
She just wants to be closer to her daughter.
Old Madam Mu immediately said, "Naturally, Madame, please." ”
Lin Jiaying got up with the situation, "I'll also go out for a walk......
Master Mu and the old lady wanted to accompany them, but they all politely refused, and they only let Mu Yan accompany them.
Just met with a child, and it is normal for people to want to be closer.
Master Mu and Mrs. Mu did not doubt him.
As soon as the Lin family stepped out of the flower hall, the old lady immediately came up and asked Master Mu, "What did Master Lin say?" Can you mention Yan'er and Yang'er's family affairs? ”
At the moment, she doesn't want to care about anything, she just wants to care about family matters.
Master Mu frowned deeply, his eyes swept over the place where Lin Jiaying had sit, and there was a thick stack of silver tickets under the tea bowl.
"See? It was given by the Lin family, and it was not easy for us to raise Yan'er for 14 years, so I want to express my heart. ”
The old lady swept over with Master Mu's eyes, "Silver ticket? ”
She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to take the silver tickets, all of which were five hundred taels each, and when she counted them carefully, there were twenty of them, which means that the Lin family gave them ten thousand taels of silver......
The old lady touched the silver ticket and exhaled secretly, and said, "It's really generous." ”
"But we can't ask for this silver." Master Mu is a scholar in the end, and he has integrity, and said, "Back then, we only gave the Jiang family fifty taels of silver to bring Yan Yatou back, and she didn't have much silver for food and clothing over the years, and as long as she pulled money into everything, it would turn sour, what do you say?" ”
The old lady thought about it and pressed the silver ticket again.
Although 10,000 taels is not a small amount, but if you take the silver, you will be looked down upon by the Lin family, they are all official eunuchs, and the momentum is the most important.
"This is natural, the silver can't be collected, but we can't push it for family affairs......"
The old lady's eyes flashed, staring at Master Mu's face, "In the past, your daughter-in-law always felt that Yan Yatou was not worthy of our Yang'er, you take a look, and even arranged a room for Brother Yang'er, what was the result?" On the contrary, there was a lot of chickens and dogs, and there was no peace. ”
“…… Now that Yan Yatou has changed her identity all of a sudden, she just matches Yang'er, and the two have grown up together since childhood, I think this marriage is very good. ”
Master Mu frowned deeply when he heard this.
"I have promised Lord Lin that the marriage should ask the meaning of the girl, if she is willing to marry, the marriage contract will be valid, if the girl does not marry, I will tear up the marriage contract on the spot, and never mention it again."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately became anxious, and patted Master Mu on the back angrily, "How can you tell what their Lin family says about this kind of thing?" Still let the girl call the shots? She is a big girl, how can she make her own decisions? What if she says she doesn't agree? Is this marriage contract about to be ruined? (To be continued.) )
