Chapter 258: Untitled
Mrs. Lin returned to the house, and Su Zhaoheng was glared at by him and obediently followed him to the small building.
Lin Wanwan looked at the sky, but Shen Zhong's appearance, so she smiled and went down to prepare refreshments and asked Qingzhu to send them to the small building.
The autumn wind rose in October, and the paper in Mrs. Lin's hand was blown softly.
He raised his hand and pressed it with a paperweight, took two sips of tea before talking to the young man standing outside the window looking stupid.
"What do you think about King Rui sending someone to Shuzhou?"
Su Zhaoheng reluctantly turned his gaze away from the graceful figure under the corridor, turned around and said, "It's just that he wants to collect news that is not favorable to King Ning." ”
King Ning has been kept from April to the present, and the emperor still has no intention of letting him return to the fiefdom.
And King Rui has also passed three months of thinking, and now that he has returned to the dynasty not long ago, he must be trying to divert the emperor's attention.
At this time, pulling someone to disperse the hatred is the best way.
The Su family's Lin family didn't have anything to make the emperor suspicious and angry, and King Ning didn't help him in the capital, of course, he had to take him under the knife first.
Old Mrs. Lin was noncommittal, and glanced at the words on the secret newspaper again. "I just don't know what this King Ning is thinking."
For King Ning's thoughts, Su Zhaoheng couldn't figure it out.
In his previous life, there was no rebellion of King Ning, and he did not show any clues, but King Rui, who was the emperor's younger brother, rebelled first.
"If King Ning doesn't have a mind, the kind of hostility he shows towards King Rui is too strange." Su Zhaoheng frowned, and Qingjun's face was more gloomy.
Old lady Lin snorted.
Isn't it just weird.
As soon as King Rui went to court, there was another incident about Princess Marlene being assassinated on the way to Shangxiang.
Princess Marlene is sensitive, and if something happens, then King Rui's side concubine will still hinder the peace between the two countries. What's more, not long ago, King Rui forced Princess Marlene.
No matter how you look at it, it is all in the king of Diaphragm, which adds to the dissatisfaction of the Tartar country.
This matter was not done by the Lin family and the Su family, it could only be done by King Ning's side, because only those who knew knew what benefits they could get in this way.
"Since King Rui and King Ning have pinched like this, let's continue to watch, the Shaoling nose next to King Ning is more sensitive than a dog, and we just want to get some benefits from it, I'm afraid it's more difficult."
After pondering for a while, Mrs. Lin Ling felt that it was better not to wade into this troubled water, in case he caused a commotion, he would have to waste his energy and then settle down.
Su Zhaoheng turned to Wu Congwen, and many things were instructed by Old Lady Lin, so naturally he would not have any objections to his decision.
The two talked a few more words about political affairs, and Su Zhaoheng was driven back.
Before leaving, he looked at Lin Wanwan's gaze called reluctance and lingering, which provoked Old Lady Lin to raise his hand to give him a burst of chest, and he almost didn't let him get out of here.
When the two flew pigeons to pass the message in the evening, Su Zhaoheng inevitably vomited bitterness and pleaded again, which made Lin Wanwan feel more and more that he was not in shape.
The end of October is Mrs. Lin's birthday, and he doesn't like to be lively, so Lin Wanwan will rectify it like last year.
The emperor still rewarded the things, but the old lady Lin didn't even look at it, and directly asked the registration to make a book, and threw it all into the warehouse.
In October, the first snow fell in the capital, which was colder than usual.
On this day, Lin Wanwan was wearing a gray squirrel-style cotton satin cardigan and leaned against the window to watch the snow.
The fluttering snow swirls in the wind, and it can't be stored when it falls on the ground, and it won't turn into water vapor and dye it into a deep color.
It was snowfall, but Xu Shi came, and his delicate deerskin boots made a rhythmic sound on the ground.
"Why is the eldest aunt here at this time!" Lin Wanwan saw Xu at a glance and walked out of the house in surprise.
Xu felt sorry for her being blown by the wind, so he hurriedly pushed her back to the house, and asked the maid to put down the curtain quickly, so as not to let the house be filled with wind again.
"I'm here because I want to tell you about the first thing, the New Year is coming soon, and the day of your marriage is getting closer and closer, and other big things are ready, it's time to prepare these." Xu pulled Lin Wanwan to sit down and patted her hand. "There is no housewife in the second room, and I am afraid of negligence, so I will discuss it with you after thinking about it."
After the marriage, the Xu family is helping to prepare.
The hiring of the Su family was personally handled by the Marquis of Wu Su, and the dowry fee was 40,000 taels, which was very important to Lin Guanwan. Compared with the marquis's family in Beijing, the bride price of 20,000 yuan is already very good, so Lin Guanwan's dowry is not sloppy at all, otherwise she will be laughed at by the Su family if she marries.
Discussing the matter of her marriage, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but show her shame after two more lives, and her voice was low. "I'm 10,000 at ease with my aunt, so I have to make my own decision."
Xu Shi was relieved to hear this, and his heart was sweet, "Look at you, you are still ashamed, you have to choose the patterns you like, as well as the clothes and fabrics of the four seasons, and some gold and silver ornaments." In the future, you have to use it, and you should ask for your opinion, in addition to these things that you have to prepare together. You can see when it is appropriate to call the stewards of several silver buildings. ”
Lin Wanwan answered with a red face, and Xu went back to Dongfu with a smile.
In the next two months, Lin Wanwan was busy preparing for the dowry and the New Year.
There are no major events in the court, but the friction of some trivial things has not stopped.
The emperor's attitude towards King Rui has never been restored to the closeness of the past, and the Empress Dowager Li has added more silver threads to her sideburns for this matter, and she does not dare to persuade the emperor more, and the people who are worried all day long are a lot haggard.
The queen has fewer people to stare at it all day long, and she has a little prince, which can be said to be radiant, and even Concubine Li, who is used to being beautiful in the palace, is not as radiant as her.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the north wind blew tightly, and the goose-feathered snow accumulated on the branches, weighing them down and trembling more and more in the cold wind.
Lin Wanwan and her brother nested in the flower hall to keep a New Year's Eve, watching the maids happily setting off fireworks in the yard, and their more and more delicate and pretty faces burst with bright smiles.
Lin Haoqi on the side felt a lot of emotion, thinking of getting married after his sister and Lu in February, adding a lot of loss to the center of this festive atmosphere.
Just as he was thinking, suddenly there was a banging sound outside, and the sky was rendered by brilliant colors, and the room was also colorful through the window.
The maids were surprised to call for someone to set off fireworks.
Lin Wanwan was also attracted, and ran to the bottom of the corridor with her feet raised, and at this time, a beautiful firework exploded overhead, reflecting her face like jade.
"Brother, brother come out quickly, this fireworks are set off next to it? It's too close to us! Lin Wanwan was also excited, and hurriedly shouted into the house.
Lin Haoqi lifted the curtain and came out in response, and also saw this gorgeous scene.
But at this time, Lin Wanwan seemed to think of something, and suddenly lifted her skirt and ran away, so frightened that Lin Haoqi hurriedly shouted to the maids to take umbrellas and chase after her.
When he caught up with someone, Lin Wanwan was about to run to the small garden, complaining: "What kind of wind will you have here, such a big snow, in case you slip or catch a cold, it's fun?!" ”
Lin Wanwan's face was full of excitement, "Brother, he must be here!" (To be continued.) )
