Chapter 362: Returning to the Ancestors?
After finally knowing the truth of the matter, Mr. Lin drove Lin Laosan and his family out of the study, and sat on the chair alone, frowning, thinking about how to solve this matter.
After half an hour, Old Man Lin looked solemn, and seemed to have made up his mind in his heart, so he got up and prepared to go to the General's Mansion to meet General Chang, and while explaining the matter and apologizing, he wanted to find out his attitude in his heart.
When I arrived at the General's Mansion, I realized that Lin Zhu was not in the mansion, but entered the palace to accompany Concubine Lan. Listening to General Chang's tone, it seemed that the emperor said it himself, and Old Man Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes, should he say that Lin Zhu was lucky or lucky?
Although Lin Zhu was not there, Old Man Lin still truthfully told General Chang what Lin Qingxue had done.
"The old man already knows about this matter, if it weren't for the bamboo girl and your face, even if the old man didn't make a move, that kid Mu Si would have made a move." General Chang said with a serious face.
"Qingxue is really too ignorant, the old man is ashamed, and there is no way to teach." Old Man Lin also had nothing to say at this time. "Ugh."
"I've grounded her for a year as punishment, and if I don't think it's enough to punish her, it doesn't hurt to add anything else."
Old Man Lin doing this is tantamount to letting General Chang and Lin Zhu decide the punishment of Lin Qingxue, if the two of them have a deep resentment towards her and the punishment is too heavy, Old Man Lin can only admit it.
"This is Lord Lin's family matter, how can the old man be involved." General Chang shook his head, Old Man Lin's punishment is not light or heavy, it is almost the same. General Chang himself will not join in the fun. However, he saw that Old Man Lin seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to speak. There was something strange in my heart.
"Lord Lin might as well say it if you have something to say."
"Please forgive me, there is one thing, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I want to ask the general what he means." As if he had made up his mind, Old Man Lin took a deep breath and looked up at General Chang.
"Lord Lin has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." General Chang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.
"The third family has been kept in the dark, and they don't know the identity of the bamboo girl. And so on. I'm afraid that the misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper, the old man is thinking, how about letting the bamboo girl recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors? ”
Old Man Lin's words made General Chang immediately sit up straight, and his eyes were wide open. Stared at him. Neither of them spoke.
"This thing. The old man can't make decisions for the bamboo girl. "After a while. General Chang exhaled and said in a rough voice. Although he did not mean to stop Lin Zhu from recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, this matter was put on the table. Only then did I realize that I was really reluctant.
When General Chang didn't speak, Old Man Lin was actually very nervous, and he waited for General Chang's refusal with some anxiety, but he didn't expect that he didn't object. Old Man Lin's heart suddenly became happy.
In addition to being excited, he ignored General Chang's retort that Lin Zhu was in charge, perhaps in his opinion, it was natural for Lin Zhu to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Old Man Lin went back in a good mood.
General Chang's face was very bad, and he called Chang Shi over. And told him a little bit about what happened just now.
"You've been with the bamboo girl for a long time, what do you think she thinks about this matter?"
Chang Shi was also surprised, he didn't expect Lin Zhu to be a member of the Lin family in the capital, and the agreement between General Chang Lin and Old Man Wang had not been told to others, so Chang Shi was also the first time to know the Tao.
"Miss Zhu never seems to have mentioned the search for her biological parents." Chang Shi just said how he felt. "Whether it's in the capital or in Linjia Village, I haven't heard Miss Zhu mention it."
Compared with his concern for Fu Dou'er's life experience, Lin Zhu has never paid attention to his life experience at all. Chang Shi had a feeling that Lin Zhu didn't seem to have any intention of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors. Of course, this is just his speculation, and he can't take it seriously and can't say it.
"Really?" General Chang listened to it, and faintly agreed with his words in his heart, Lin Zhu has been in the Chang family for such a long time, it stands to reason that if she proposes to find her biological parents, with the connections of the General's Mansion, she can also help one or two. But she never mentioned it.
"General, do you want to talk to Mu Sigongzi about this matter?" Chang Shi felt that it was necessary to remind Mu Qiyue that the general's mansion had already agreed that he was about to become the son-in-law of the mansion, and it was not easy to hide this matter from him.
"Well, it's okay to tell him, this stinky boy has a lot of ideas, maybe he will have some good suggestions." General Chang nodded. Besides, Old Man Lin came over this time mainly for two things, and the other one was to inform Mu Qiyue.
Lin Zhu didn't know it at the moment, and when she came back from the palace and heard about it, she was really taken aback.
Of course, General Chang carefully conveyed the meaning of Old Man Lin, but seeing her shocked appearance, General Chang asked her to think about it herself.
Lin Zhu was first surprised why the Lin family knew her identity, and where did they find out? Now Lin Zhu didn't expect that she was discovered by her maternal ancestor, the old man Wang.
Again, since she has known the Tao for a long time, why is it only now that she wants to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, is there something she doesn't know about?
In the end, what is the position of the General's Palace, and which side are they on?
Lin Zhu's mood was very confused by these questions, and her mood was also a little fluctuating, but fortunately, General Chang gave her time to think about it. And after returning from the palace, there were many invitations, which allowed Lin Zhu to disperse some of the resulting pressure in a timely manner.
Lin Zhu, who finally rested, was a little uncertain about what he was about to face, but he shamefully avoided it, and ran to the Zhuangzi in Wang Village, saying that he wanted to think about it and didn't want to be disturbed for the time being.
The childish appearance made both General Chang and Old Man Lin helpless.
However, regarding Lin Qingxue's matter, Lin Zhu didn't want to pursue it, and he didn't add any more punishment to her, which also comforted Old Man Lin.
And after General Chang obtained Lin Zhu's consent, he also revealed Lin Zhu's life experience to Mu Qiyue and Pan.
"What does she think?" Although Mu Qiyue was a little surprised, he still asked Lin Zhu's thoughts first.
"This girl was frightened, and ran to Zhuangzi and said that she wanted to think about it." Although General Chang is helpless, he can also understand that he has lived alone for more than ten years, and suddenly someone says that it is his relatives, and no one will hesitate.
"Why is Lord Lin now proposing to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? Could it be because he was summoned by the emperor? "Because of the matter of entering the palace, not only Lin Zhu's status has improved, but also the background of the General's Mansion, there are more people who beat her idea, and Mu Qiyue has to think about it.
"Although Lord Lin's third son is the biological father of the bamboo girl, his wife Zhao may be the culprit who has separated the bamboo girl for many years, and for the sake of the reputation of the Lin Mansion, he did not recognize the bamboo girl." General Chang sighed, "Otherwise, where would an outsider have a close relationship with his grandson." "I don't want my family to get acquainted with Lin Zhu as soon as possible.
Of course, General Chang did not deny that Old Man Lin wanted to recognize Lin Zhu, and he also took a fancy to her rising identity, as well as her ability to accumulate wealth that she could not ignore.
"However, now is not the right time for her to return to the Lin Mansion." Mu Qiyue frowned and said, whether the Lin family agrees or not is secondary, the key is that Lin Zhu's identity in the Lin family is too embarrassing.
After all, the matter of Lin Shurui and Wang Yurou is not well known. And the two of them have long been accustomed to living without the existence of Lin Zhu. The sudden exposure of Lin Zhu's life experience brought about much more negative impacts than positive ones.
If Lin Zhu becomes the child of the Lin family, then how should her identity be told to the world and say that she is the child of the Zhao family? Surely no one believed. After all, from Lin Zhu's age, it is impossible for the Zhao family to give birth to a daughter without marrying Lin Shurui, if this is the case, it is estimated that the Zhao family will not be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
And Lin Zhu is a legitimate concubine, even if the Lin family wants to arrange an aunt for her, it depends on whether she is willing or not. I believe that no one wants to depreciate themselves. The difference between a concubine and a concubine is in status and identity, not something that can be made up by material conditions.
It can be seen from General Chang's expression that he also noticed this, but from his standpoint, he has no right to prevent Lin Zhu from recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors. Not recognizing one's parents is also inconsistent with etiquette and is easy to be criticized by the world.
Mu Qiyue sat on the chair, bowed his head slightly, and pondered. Now it seems that the problem is mainly with Old Man Lin, although I don't know what he asked Lin Zhu to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but the current situation, only by letting him dispel his thoughts, Lin Zhu will not be in that embarrassing situation.
"What does the Wang family say?" Mu Qiyue asked out loud.
"They haven't been informed yet." General Chang was also having a headache about this, and he and Lin Zhu only talked about the relationship between the Lin family and her, and did not mention the Wang family and her biological mother Wang Yurou.
"General, there is a saying, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." Mu Qiyue said in a low voice.
"Say it." General Chang knew that all of Mu Qiyue's thoughts were based on Lin Zhu's rights and interests.
"If Xiaozhu recognizes the Lin family, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the Wang family, after all, it is also the blood and blood of the Wang family, no matter what arrangement Old Man Lin makes, it will cause dissatisfaction with the Wang family, after all, this kind of thing will damage the reputation of the two families."
General Chang nodded when he heard this, and motioned for him to continue.
"Regarding whether Xiaozhu's identity is made public, Lord Wang's opinion should also be heard, you might as well invite Lord Lin and Lord Wang to discuss it together, what do you think?"
Although General Chang felt that Mu Qiyue's words were reasonable, he felt that something was wrong. After Mu Qiyue finished speaking and left, he reacted, Mu Qiyue's proposal was to let King Lin and the two of them fight each other, and the best result would be to no avail.
"This stinky boy is too ghostly." General Chang secretly gritted his teeth, he had to come forward in this matter, it was a chore, and it was not pleasing to both sides.
