Chapter 137: Family Affection in Transactions
Lin Hongan looked at her with a look at a stranger, with a hint of fear, and there was no friendship between father and daughter in it.
Anyway, he has so many children, and he doesn't care if Lin Wanbai is missing or not.
"It's because it's not so easy to do that I'm here to negotiate terms with you."
Lin Wanbai looked at him and said in a firm tone, although it is not easy, if you want to be an official and a half-official position for Lin Tianxu, and it is also an official position in the court, it is not as simple as saying it casually.
However, her identity as the future concubine should be able to say a few words in front of Prince Qi.
And she did this, in addition to protecting Aunt Zhao, she also wanted to do something for her eldest brother, in the Lin family, who was cold and affectionate, only Lin Tianxu was the only one who smiled at her and was good to her.
Lin Hongan looked at her, the color of his face changed several times, but he still couldn't make up his mind. This kind of thing, even he doesn't dare to say it, he can use his connections to ensure that his Xu'er can have a place in the court.
How dare a woman say this?
But Lin Wanbai's firm gaze and saying such words are a little convincing.
"What a deal."
Lin Hongan thought in his heart, not to mention what this girl has in mind, a daughter who marries outside, even if she has thoughts, will not cause him any trouble, and as Lin Wanbai said, there is nothing to lose if she agrees.
"Be nice to my mother."
Lin Wanbai said, her eyes softened a lot, mixed with a little helplessness.
Since she inherited this body, then the master's last wish will be fulfilled no matter what; And even if there is no suicide note, Aunt Zhao is so attentive to her, she will not treat it as if she can't see it.
No matter how filial you are to your children, there is no way to replace a daily greeting from the person next to her, although Lin Hongan is hateful, she knows very well that there are some things that she has no way to replace Lin Hongan.
I thought that Lin Wanbai would be so difficult, but as soon as she said this, she said it. Lin Hongan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Throughout the ages, filial piety has come first, whether you want it or not. are all bound by morality, true and false, and those superficial efforts are always indispensable. Those dirty things that happened in the backyard, Lin Hongan, as a man, never cared. But that doesn't mean you don't really know anything about it.
Lin Wanbai ignored his stunned expression and continued: "My daughter is about to get married, my mother has no son to rely on in the Lin family, and I can't be by her side all the year round. ”
It was a normal request, but she was so sad that she had to trade it in exchange.
Lin Hong's heart was full of mixed tastes, and he couldn't speak for a while.
He hated this daughter. For more than ten years, I have avoided what I can, never saying a word or greetings.
Once upon a time, Lin Wanbai's birth still made him a little happy, and his name was also obtained in person.
Wan Bai, Wan Bai.
The homonym of Wan'er Qingbai.
Now, they have become enemies who don't see each other.
If you really want to dig deeper. It should be Lin Wanbai who was three years old, and suddenly a dysentery Taoist priest came, although he was dressed in tatters and talked crazy. Instead, he talked about the affairs of the Lin family.
The dysentery Taoist priest said that Lin Wanbai was a person with a bad spirit, and he specialized in protecting himself.
With the mentality that he would rather believe that he has something or not, anyway, he has so many children, and he abandoned Lin Wanbai. And what is it?
This is the daughter who was once abandoned by him, but suddenly said such a sentence to him, which seems that he is a little inferior to a pig and a dog.
"If you don't say these words, I will do it."
Maybe it was because Lin Wanbai said something emotional, Lin Hongan took over and said this, although today, before Lin Wanbai looked for him, he never thought that he would go to Aunt Zhao's yard to visit, or have a light meal.
This thought didn't even flash.
Lin Wanbai ignored his emotional words, as the saying goes, if a man's words can be trusted, even sows will go up the tree. As far as Lin Wanbai is concerned, even if a hundred sows go up the tree, she will not believe the man's words.
Especially this kind of man with three wives and four concubines is even more untrustworthy.
"My daughter doesn't ask for much, if my father can do it, I will find a way to solve the matter on the eldest brother's side; If it can't be solved, then it will be at the disposal of Dad. ”
Lin Wanbai's tone was cold, as if she was talking to a stranger, in fact, she was indeed talking to a stranger, she was just a lonely soul, and Lin Hongan had no father-daughter relationship, let alone the so-called filial piety.
Although the two didn't talk much, just a few words, but after all, this was not the time to chat, and others had opinions after talking too much, especially Lin Chen.
"Master, we're going back, don't be here, talk to Sister Wan."
Lin Chen held back the fire in his belly, and was about to go back to find a few slaves and maids to vent well, or go to Aunt Zhao's yard to blame her.
Lin Hongan raised his head and glanced at Lin Chen, his wife, who had always been very pleasing to the eye, suddenly became a little bitter.
"What's the hurry, wait."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head, looked at Lin Wanbai, and ignored her again.
Lin Chen stood aside, deflated, and stood in place, his face was hard to see. What's going on today, no matter where you go, all you meet are people who give her a look, the princess is like this, even the lord is like this.
And these people, without exception, all have a good impression of Lin Wanbai, a dead girl.
It's just a little lady's thing, and it can't be put on the table, why is everyone looking at her, as if she has caught a demon?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen tightened the silk handkerchief in her sleeve, but it couldn't solve the hatred in her heart.
"Your mother's affairs, don't worry, I will take good care of Peilan, the palace is not as good as the place, you have to be careful in everything in the world, the open gun is easy to block and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and there is a concubine Libian, who is not easy to deal with."
Lin Hongan didn't know why, he would say these words to Lin Wanbai, he never cared about this daughter, if it wasn't for the same age as Lin Manlu, he wouldn't even remember how old she was.
"I see."
Lin Wanbai still had no expression on his face. She is not a soft-hearted person, and she is grateful for a few words.
"I know, it's getting late. Let's go back early. ”
After saying so much, she was also a little tired, and after saying everything she wanted to say, there was no need to continue.
Lin Hongan looked at her and wanted to turn around and leave, and paused. blurted out: "Wan'er, what you said just now, Xu'er ...... him"
When Lin Wanbai heard this, he couldn't help but have a sneer on his face, and Lin Hongan seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and his whole old face turned red, but fortunately, because his face was black, he didn't see much.
This person's heart is not so easy to change.
I just said something considerate, but it was right away. Don't forget to remind you about trading.
"Please rest assured, Dad, I remember it all."
After Lin Wanbai finished speaking, she nodded at him unfamiliarly, and then walked to Aunt Zhao's side.
"Mother, remember what I said, if you have something to press paper under the tree, don't remember."
After speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Chen's who was standing not far away, this Lin Chen's was cold here in the palace. I must vent when I go back, but my mother is an angry soft bag and doesn't know how to resist at all.
Although Aunt Zhao had doubts in her heart, she listened to what she said. I silently wrote it down in my heart and nodded.
She stood by the door and watched everyone get into the sedan chair, and they had already walked far away, and they didn't close the door. This parting is not long. to see you again.
Wen Rou stood aside, seeing that she was still looking, thinking that she was reluctant to give up her relatives, she said with a smile: "It's rare to see Sister Wan'er such a tender side, and it's not gone, although Sister Wan lives in the East Wing, she still marries in the Lin family." ”
Saying this, Lin Wanbai came back to his senses.
That's right, even if she lives in her mother-in-law's house first because of Hongshu, she still has to marry from the Lin family.
Thinking of this, her eyebrows rose, why didn't she say it earlier, it made her feel a lot sad.
"Aunt Wenrou, you're the best."
She turned around with a smile, jumped in front of Wen Rou, hugged her, and jumped twice in place.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is already an adult, and the good ones are the mothers of the two children, but Lin Wanbai is not stable at all, like a child. Wen Rou was stunned for a moment, then laughed at her move, hurriedly helped her, and said in a reproachful tone: "Don't jump around, let others see it, don't laugh yet." ”
Although she said so, Wen Rou's eyes were full of smiles.
The princess has not been lively for a long time, and after the children grew up, they became more and more calm, and sometimes they couldn't hear a word of laughter in the backyard all day. After a long time, it gives people an illusion that this palace is a palace or a gloomy haunted house.
"Jokes are jokes, Aunt Wenrou, I'm happy now, I can't hold it back."
Lin Wanbai said happily, although there were a lot of things piled up, but she slowly had eyebrows.
Wen Rou looked at her, she had lived for half her life, and she was by the princess's side, she was very shrewd, but she didn't say anything.
"Sister Wan'er, when you get married, your husband and children are the first priority, and the rest of the things can't be helped, and you can't force it."
Although Wen Rou didn't know where her happiness came from, but seeing her muttering with Lord Lin just now, Wen Rou, who was used to seeing the world, although she couldn't guess the content, she also knew that it was not a common thing.
Lin Wanbai's smile faded a little, but it didn't hinder her happiness.
Sure enough, this smart man has a three-point leeway to speak, and he never says it explicitly.
"Aunt Wenrou's advice, Wanbai will keep it in mind, if he makes any mistakes in the future, I hope Aunt Wenrou can remind me in time, so that I can immediately become a cliff."
Lin Wanbai stood up slightly, then looked at Wen Rou, and said with a positive face, this way, she wants to fight for Lin Tianxu's official position for her mother, and after Lin Manlu got married, there will be all kinds of intrigues.
Maybe for the sake of profit, she will go down the wrong path, and at this time, someone will pull her.
Seeing her say this, Wen Rou also knew something in her heart, in this place where eating people without spitting out bones, even if it is as white as paper, there will always be a day when it will be dyed black.
Thinking of this, Wen Rou couldn't help frowning, feeling sorry for a while, but she couldn't say anything.
Lin Wanbai didn't mind, she knew that Wen Rou really cared for her, and if she wasn't, she wouldn't say these things to her.
Back in the east wing, Lin Wanbai couldn't sit still for a moment, and said to Dai Sang: "Quick, let's pack up our things, I'm going back to whisper to my mother." ”
If she marries at her mother's house according to the convention, she will stay at the Lin family on the eighteenth night.
It's seventeen today, and it's time to pack up your things, and then at the Lin family, the last night as a girl.
Dai Sang knew that she was happy, but standing in the house and looking around, Dai Sang really didn't know what to pack.
"Miss Wan, what do you think we can pack and take away?"
At the beginning, Lin Wanbai woke up in a coma in the east wing, and it was Dai Sang who ran all the way to King Qi's mansion and made a big fuss, making Hongshu noisily want to pick people up anyway.
However, the belongings that Lin Wanbai brought were only a set of clothes.
Lin Wanbai looked around, only to find that she really couldn't take anything away here except herself, and even she didn't expect such a failure.
"yes, you really don't need to pack anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noisy sound in the yard, Lin Wanbai and Dai Sang glanced at each other, usually the yard is extremely quiet, except for the chirping sparrows, there is really no one haunting.
Dai Sang walked outside to see what was going on, and as soon as he walked out, he pushed several people and walked in.
Lin Wanbai raised his head and glanced at the grandmothers and aunts he had seen, and here in the palace, they were also a bit of a rank.
"Grandma, why are you so interested in sitting here?"
Lin Wanbai had seen them in the house, and they were all housekeepers, so they didn't have much contact.
They didn't come empty-handed, everyone had a lot of things in their hands, not only the phoenix crown and the Xia curtain, but also a lot of people who couldn't tell the bride price, etc., a few people walked in, and the room was filled at once.
The leader is Mama Shao, she is considered an older mama in the palace, and the rest of the people have to look at her face to do things.
Holding the heavy, cumbersome and delicate phoenix crown in her hand, she walked in front of Lin Wanbai and said respectfully and politely: "The old man has seen Miss Wan. ”
The appearance of her remnants of the wind candle made Lin Wanbai feel that if she touched it a little, she might fall to the ground.
So, she hurriedly greeted her and tried to help her sit down.
But Mama Shao was unmoved, standing straight like a pine, and there was absolutely no room for any sloppiness at every glance.
"The old body is here to ask Miss Wan for guilt, and he brought the new clothes so late, and asked Miss Wan to blame."
is worthy of the old lady in the palace, obviously the princess is suppressing and not letting the hype be made, but when it comes to Mama Shao's mouth, she takes all the responsibility on herself.
How could Lin Wanbai have a relationship with a person who is about to enter the ground, and this is not Mama Shao's business at all.
"Mama Shao, you sit down first, everything is easy to say, if you don't sit down, we have nothing to talk about."
Lin Wanbai said, helped her to sit on a chair on the side, respecting the old and loving the young has always been her fine tradition. (To be continued.) )
