Chapter 280: Affection
In the guest room where Mrs. Lin is sitting, the guest room arranged for Mrs. Lin in this temple is also the best room. The whole room is simple and atmospheric, I'm afraid it's better than the house where the host lives! Although Mrs. Xu is not shallow-eyed, she has to sigh at this time, the Lin family is indeed rich, if there is not enough silver for the temple, how can the host arrange the best guest room for Mrs. Lin to live in? And even the quilt on the bed is obviously newly purchased, and the meaning of this flattery is too obvious.
Compared with Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu's guest rooms, it is relatively simple, just a small courtyard, with three guest rooms, and there are no nuns who are waiting, all of them are their own maids and old mothers waiting, unlike Mrs. Lin's house, there are still many little nuns in the temple, which are obviously specially prepared to serve Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Xu secretly thought in her heart, will this old lady Lin really take a fancy to the Xu family? It's not that Mrs. Xu looks down on the Xu family, but compared with those officials or merchants in the city, although her family has a good reputation and is a scholarly family, this wealth is far behind. However, Mrs. Xu is still quite confident in her son, and now that she is a child, it will be no problem to take a show in the spring exam next year, and the future is needless to say. Even if he doesn't become a senior official in high school in the future, this talent can be regarded as famous, and he can give the eldest lady of the Wang family a little dignity.
Moreover, Mrs. Xu feels that her family style is pure, and her master and herself are both kind people, if she really wants to marry Miss Wang to her family, she will naturally not be wronged by Miss Wang. Why did Mrs. Xu think that? It was also before that Xu Gongzi suddenly confessed to Mrs. Xu, saying that he would not marry the eldest lady of the Wang family. This Mrs. Xu is anxious, it is rare for her stuffy gourd to have a favorite girl, if this old lady Lin agrees, it is fine, if she disagrees. Doesn't it make my son sad? Mrs. Xu didn't have high requirements for this family business, and felt that it didn't matter if she could be in Chengdu or not, it all depended on the will of God.
How do you know that now it is rare for a son to be serious, saying that he wants to let himself ask to marry Miss Wang, and what do he say that he has affection for Miss Wang, and he will not marry Miss Wang. This made Mrs. Xu anxious, and this son had never mentioned marrying a wife before. Say a few words yourself. The son has to be unhappy. Why do you like Miss Wang at this time? Although at the annual banquet in the Lin Mansion, Miss Wang's appearance was really good, but what kind of character did Miss Wang have before. Mrs. Xu also knows a little bit, is Miss Wang's active and troublesome temperament really suitable for her own son?
But Mrs. Xu's persuasion has not yet been spoken. As a result, Xu Gongzi directly ignored it, and only said that fate was predestined. He likes Miss Wang's straightforwardness and neatness, and he must marry Miss Wang. It's not good for Mrs. Xu to say anything, it's better to marry a wife than not to marry a wife, it's hard to insist on it. Let the son marry someone else? Besides, Miss Wang is also the eldest lady of the Wang family, and Mr. Wang is also a scholar, and he is a high school talent. Like his own master, he is unwilling to live in the city. Speaking of which, the two are really a good match. It can be regarded as a scholarly door against a scholarly door.
What else can Mrs. Xu say, she can only lead her son to Mrs. Lin's place, thinking about how to open her mouth and make Mrs. Lin agree to this family business. Mrs. Lin's favor for Miss Wang, who doesn't know about it in Pingyang City, and who doesn't know. I don't know if Mrs. Lin can take a fancy to the Xu family or her son.
Mrs. Xu came to see Mrs. Lin with a heavy heart, but Xu Gongzi was indifferent, Xu Gongzi believed that as long as she showed sincerity, Mrs. Lin would definitely agree to this family business. Since Mrs. Lin dotes on Miss Wang, she must really hope that Miss Wang will marry well. As for the high gate and the high door, since Miss Wang doesn't care, Mrs. Lin will follow Miss Wang.
Mrs. Lin looked at Xu Gongzi in a green bamboo and green robe today, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she didn't wait for Xu Gongzi and Mrs. Xu to say goodbye, so she directly asked the maid to serve refreshments, and invited the two of them to sit down, only saying that they didn't talk about those rules in the temple.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin was so polite, Mrs. Xu was finally more down-to-earth. Thinking about it, if Mrs. Lin didn't like her son, she wouldn't have asked herself to bring her son to this temple to offer incense during this New Year's Festival. The incense is fake, this is the real thing. The woman in the inner house who doesn't know these doorways, it seems that this family affair is not far away. But Mrs. Xu still didn't dare to be careless, this was not prepared by Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Xu was still a little relieved in her heart.
"Old lady, you're polite, we're juniors, shouldn't we say hello?" Mrs. Xu said politely.
Mrs. Lin smiled, and her impression of Mrs. Xu was not bad, "Mrs. Xu is really a scholar, and this rule is that people can't make mistakes." Today, the old man is looking for Mrs. Xu to come, and there is really one thing, I want to have a good chat with Mrs. Xu, but I don't know what Mrs. Xu means? Mrs. Lin still decided to explore the tone first, and she didn't know if what Wen Xiu said was true or not, and she didn't know if Mrs. Xu really agreed to this family affair.
Mrs. Xu was overjoyed, these eight achievements are family affairs, so it seems that Mrs. Lin also agrees. However, Mrs. Xu felt that since this family business had been done, she naturally had to open her mouth first, so that it could be regarded as giving face to Mrs. Lin and the Wang family. After thinking about it, Mrs. Xu smiled slightly: "This is a coincidence, it just so happens that I really have one thing, I want to discuss with Mrs. Lin first, I have been embarrassed to open my mouth before, and today I just take this opportunity to make it clear to you, so that our son can rest assured." ”
Mrs. Xu said this, and Mrs. Lin understood, what the embroidery girl said was really right, the young master of the Xu family really begged Mrs. Xu to propose marriage. This is exactly what Mrs. Lin wants, if the woman opens her mouth first, it is not very appropriate, but if the man brings it up first, on the one hand, it is to give the woman face, and on the other hand, it is also to express the man's sincerity. From this point of view, the Xu family is kind-hearted, and they did not deliberately take Qiao and let themselves, the old woman, open their mouths because Wenxiu and the young master of the Xu family were intended.
Although for the happiness of Wenxiu girl, even if she really embarrasses herself, Mrs. Lin is willing, anyway, as long as Wenxiu is happy, she is worthy of her eldest brother. But now that Mrs. Xu is clever and willing to sell this good, she originally took the initiative to mention it, and Mrs. Lin naturally had to be happy. Mrs. Lin looked at the young master of the Xu family, although she was angry with her books, she looked good, her temperament was good, and she was really good at embroidery. "Mrs. Xu, but it's okay to say, the old man listens." (To be continued.) )
