Chapter 168: Giving and Receiving Privately
When Lin Yu rejected Mrs. Zhixian, he did not directly state that he would be single and independent, for fear that he would be scared to grow up in this feudal society and take her husband as the sky, so he only told her euphemistically, and now the family can't leave her, and Qi'er and Ling'er are still young, she is afraid that after she gets married, there is no one in charge of the family, and Qi'er will not be able to study with peace of mind......
Mrs. Zhixian knew that Lin Yu was telling the truth, but she was afraid that Lin Yu would not be able to find a good family after she was too old, so although she didn't dare to show her openly, but in private, she secretly helped her look at people of similar age and good character.
In fact, there is one person, Mrs. Zhixian is very satisfied, that is, Yan Gu, who came with the Lin Yu sisters and brothers during the festival.
But if you really want to think about it, Mrs. Zhixian is slightly hesitant.
Yan Gu is the nephew of Lord Qincha, and he is also from a prominent family, otherwise he would not be young, and he would have a generous private house to be taken care of by his daughter.
What made Mrs. Zhixian hesitate a little was that she was afraid that Yan Gu had a good family background, so the family had already set a marriage for him, and let her daughter go to someone else's house as a child, she was unwilling, although it is normal for a man in this world to have three wives and four concubines, and she was also born by her aunt, but a woman from a good family, who wants to be someone else's concubine?
So, she hesitated. And there is another thing, which makes her a little worried, although she is now married to the magistrate, but her children have not married with her, if you find someone for your daughter in this Jiahe County, although the relationship between her daughter and the magistrate can not be studied in detail, but there will never be fewer people who want to climb the rope of the magistrate, and then she is afraid that Yan Gu will be at home, she has to find out about this matter first.
Mrs. Zhixian considered these things for Lin Yu, but Lin Yu didn't know. Now that the family's farming is over, she can finally take a break. However, she is a busy person, and when she is idle, she is still a little uncomfortable, so she has to go up the mountain every day to see the livestock, and then go back to the yard to tidy up the vegetable patch, and occasionally go to the backyard under the grape trellis to cool off, and then bring some feed to feed the fish in the pond.
After resting for a few days, my heart gradually calmed down, and I was able to accompany Ling'er and Apricot to embroider purses. Do a few kinds of needlework.
At this time, she saw that there was something unusual about the apricots.
Apricot used to be very serious about needlework, in order to embroider a purse, or make a dress, often forget to sleep and eat, but now, she is like a girl who is pregnant with spring, when she is tied and embroidered with a purse. She would suddenly be in a daze, or giggle alone, and when Lin Yu asked her what she was laughing at, she immediately buried her head. I didn't laugh at anything.
The abnormality of the apricots made the forest fish have more eyes, and he often quietly observed the apricots, and then he realized it. Apricots are not only in a daze and giggle when doing needlework. And I can't help but look in the direction of the courtyard gate, and there are some indescribable things in my eyes. It seems to be longing to go outside.
Although he was suspicious of Apricot, Lin Yu thought that Kyoko hadn't been to town for a long time, so he wanted to go out.
So, he looked for a sunny day, and asked Zhang Qing to drive the carriage and send himself and Ling'er Apricot into the town to hang out.
A few people first went to the rouge shop and purchased some small items for each of them to wipe their faces and wash, and then went to the cloth village, bought a lot of fabrics, and prepared to make a few summer clothes for each person.
Because the fabrics purchased in the cloth village in recent times are not small, and now they are familiar with the shopkeeper, so Ling'er and Apricot asked the shopkeeper to take them to find the embroidery girl, and let the embroidery girl teach the two the latest stitching method.
Lin Yu didn't dare to be interested in this, so he asked Zhang Qing to carry the fabric into the carriage, and then sat in the shop and waited for the two of them.
When Apricot and Ling'er came out, it was already a cup of tea, and Apricot and Ling'er hadn't shopped enough, so a few people went to other shops in clusters.
In the pastry shop, Lin Yu was letting Ling'er and Apricot choose their favorite snacks, but Apricot suddenly covered her stomach and whispered to Lin Yu that she was sick to her stomach and wanted to go to the toilet.
There were other customers nearby, and Lin Yu was afraid of arousing the disgust of others, so he asked her to go quickly.
When Lin Yu remembered that there was no public toilet around here, and if Apricot ran out to find a thatched house by herself, people who didn't know her would definitely not let her in, besides, Apricot was a little girl, her skin must be very thin, how could she be embarrassed to find someone to borrow a thatched toilet?
Seeing that Ling'er was still choosing pastries, she hurried to Ling'er's side and told her that after buying snacks, she got into the carriage and waited, and she was going to look for apricots.
When Ling'er nodded, she also hurriedly followed the apricots out.
Out of the dim sum shop, Lin Yu saw Zhang Qing standing next to the carriage and asked him the direction in which the apricots were running, and Lin Yu immediately chased after him.
After turning a corner in the center of the town, Lin Yu finally saw the figure of the apricot, and when she was still a little puzzled why she had to run so far with a stomachache, she found that the apricot, who was still holding her stomach just now, now has a natural look, and her walking posture is not abnormal, but she will look behind from time to time to see if anyone is coming.
Lin Yu was about to step forward to stop her, but when she looked behind, she couldn't help but hide to the side, and then saw her standing in front of a shop, sneakily looking inside, and then a person came out of the shop, Lin Yu took a closer look, and immediately felt a little shocked in his heart, it was actually Zou Shenbin!
There is no need to guess, Lin Yu also knows why Apricot came to Zou Shenbin, no wonder she has been reluctant these days, it turns out that the two have been privately taught each other.
Lin Yu is not against apricots looking for people they like, but the times are different, women pay attention to the door is not out of the door, and the most taboo men and women to see each other alone, now Apricot is like this, it can be regarded as the female virtue that Grandma taught her to forget all about it, how is this good? If someone wants to grab the handle and make Zou Shenbin's family look down on her because of this, what can be done?
This Zou Shenbin is too, because he is still a scholar, how can he do this kind of thing? If you really like apricots, come to the door to beg, as long as the apricots are willing, they will definitely help find a way to get the bolt baby to agree, but now like this, what kind of thing is it?
The more she thought about it, the more angry Lin Yu became, no, she had to call the apricots back!
sorted out her thoughts, but before she could come forward, Zou Shenbin took Apricot's hand and entered the courtyard through the side door, she stomped her feet in a hurry, thinking about how to call Apricot out?
Trying to control his feelings, after a while, Lin Yu straightened his clothes and stepped forward to stand in front of Zou Shenbin's shop.
Zou Shenbin's house is a small grocery store, which cannot be compared with the one where Lin Yu bought rice seeds before, and it is slightly smaller than the one where he bought pots and pans, but the business should be okay, when Lin Yu stood at the door, someone was weighing sugar inside, and it seemed to be Zou Shenbin's mother.
