Chapter 348: Distressed
Not only Qing Wangfu is discussing Mu Qiyue's family affairs. There was also a discussion in the general's mansion, and Zhang Manyun, who came back from the birthday banquet of Princess Qing, also came to share gossip with Lin Zhu with first-hand news.
"Sister Xiaozhu, I'll tell you a secret secret, you can't tell it outside." Zhang Manyun looked at Lin Zhu mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Yesterday's birthday banquet for the princess was ostensibly for the fourth prince of Mu to choose a wife, but in fact, the young ladies of good families were all chosen to be concubines for the eldest prince and the second son of Mu. The identity of Mu Sigongzi's wife is a lot worse than them. ”
The news brought by Zhang Manyun surprised Lin Zhu very much, but he didn't expect that King Qing's Mansion would ignore Mu Qiyue to such a point.
"What about Mu Sigongzi's attitude?" Lin Zhuxian was a little more anxious.
"I guess he doesn't know what to do, after all, this matter has not been confirmed. I've only heard from people. Although Zhang Manyun said this, looking at her demeanor, it was not far from the truth.
Lin Zhu felt a slight tingling in his heart, although he was still holding a blind date banquet for Mu Qiyue in the name of a birthday banquet for Qingwangfu, but this kind of blind date banquet was really unacceptable, but I don't know what he thinks and how he will do it in the future.
Seeing that Lin Zhu was a little silent, Zhang Manyun said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if he gets married, it is estimated that he will not break off the cooperative relationship with you." Thinking that Lin Zhu was worried about the future, Zhang Manyun comforted, "I don't think the fourth prince of Mu will easily hand over the business to the people of Qingwangfu." ”
"Hmm." Lin Zhu didn't worry about this, with Mu Qiyue's person, anyone who beat him up. will not let it go easily, with the attitude of Qingwangfu towards him, he did not do anything to Qingwangfu, it is already for the sake of their biological parents.
"To be honest, I have a little sympathy for this Mu Sigongzi, although he used to be a loser, a little distracted, and a little bit of nonsense, but now after all, there is Muyue Commercial Bank, and it is also a leader in the merchant industry. Let's talk about looking at it. There is no business in the capital, in fact, this is nothing, but you can make a lot of money. Qing Wangfu really can't understand him like this. ”
listened to Zhang Manyun's words. Lin Zhu also felt very strange. Judging from the fact that Mu Qiyue concealed his identity from the people of Qingwangfu. His relationship with his parents and brothers was not very good.
"Forget it, it's all someone else's business. It has nothing to do with us, it's just that this Qingwang Mansion can't be entered, I don't know if those who want to marry into the Qingwang Mansion will regret it in the future. Zhang Manyun stood up and walked around the house after speaking.
Now it is the harvest season, not only the people in the village are very busy, even the people of the Lin Zhu family are no exception, plus there are many fields of Lin Zhu, and the people of the family go back and forth in and out, almost without touching the ground.
Zhang Manyun had never seen the scene of the autumn harvest, and seeing that Lin Zhu always looked thoughtful, he thought that he was still worried about the affairs of Muyue Commercial Bank, so he thought about taking her out of the house to relax.
"Sister Xiaozhu, I heard that your orchard is very lively, let's go and have a look." There was a curious light in her eyes, flashing and flashing, as if she was afraid of Lin Zhu's refusal, and looked at her tightly.
"Okay, a few days ago, Fu Dou'er was clamoring to go to the garden to play again, and it just so happens that the weather is good today, so take them with you." Ever since eating, drinking, and having fun in the orchard, Fu Douer has been obsessed with it.
So, with Fu Dou'er and Feng Rongxuan Haizi, plus Minglu and others, a group of more than a dozen people went in the direction of the orchard.
The orchard has become a very lively place, and there are always people coming and going in the orchard at this time.
However, most people know that Lin Zhu is the owner of the orchard, so they met to say hello and passed.
The grapes have basically been picked, and the apple orchard and Sydney orchard are very lively, but because they are relatively tall, people like Zhang Manyun and Lin Zhu who are still a little short of size can only look at the trees and sigh, not to mention the three of them who are like beans.
In order not to disappoint them, the gardener of the orchard brought a ladder and went up the tree to help them pick a lot of fruits, which was also satisfied, Zhang Manyun's curiosity.
Holding the apple that had just been picked from the tree, extremely fresh, Zhang Manyun was a little reluctant to eat it, just now she carefully tried to climb down the ladder and pick the apple from the nearest place. It feels like it's just different.
"I'm going to keep this apple." As if holding a treasure, Zhang Manyun carefully wrapped the apple with a handkerchief and handed it to Xiangqiao, who followed behind, "Help me take care of it, don't let that kid from Fudouer steal it." ”
"I won't steal it, I can pick a lot of it myself." Fu Dou'er puffed out her bun face and said unhappily. Fu Dou'er, who has grown taller in the past two years, is almost to Lin Zhu's chest, because of the reason for practicing martial arts on weekdays, his figure is no longer as chubby as when he was a child, but the baby fat on his face is still stubborn and has not changed.
The three young men, who were dexterous and agile, climbed from the ladder to the tree and picked one red apple after another.
"Fu Dou'er, that's enough, no need to pick it again." There are already half baskets, and no matter how much they pick, they can't get them back. Lin Zhu made a sound and let them come down.
Unlike others, Lin Zhu did not object to the three of Fu Dou'er climbing trees and climbing high, but she thought that this would train their courage, at least not to be afraid of heights. So just remind them to be safe, and don't stop it.
However, when others saw it, they were a little worried, "Sister Xiaozhu, aren't you afraid that they will fall?" Zhang Manyun saw that Fu Dou'er broke away from the ladder and stood directly on the tree. Fortunately, the branches are thicker and won't break easily, but the trembling feeling makes her look a little scared below.
"It's okay, they've been there several times, and it's clear what to pay attention to." Lin Zhu said with a smile.
Zhang Manyun still glanced at Lin Zhu disapprovingly, but he was afraid that his voice would disturb the three children who were crawling down, so he could only hold his breath and wait for them to stand on the ground steadily.
When all the little feet of the three of them landed, Zhang Manyun let out a long breath, and the hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"Hehe, Sister Yun doesn't have to be so nervous, boys, you have to let go of your hands and feet and let them experience it for themselves." Lin Zhu's face was calm. She has always been free-range to Fu Dou'er, and she basically doesn't restrain him very much, except for giving him some principles for dealing with people at the right time.
Looking at the three people jumping on the ground, Zhang Manyun also felt that she had overreacted, maybe it was different from the way she taught her children at home, and she also felt that Fu Dou'er was much healthier than her younger brothers, at least she hadn't heard her grandfather mention whether Fu Dou'er was sick.
"I heard that the seventh son of the Lin family, because he went to Zhuyuan with you, is now clamoring at home to find a teacher and prepare to practice martial arts." She heard the news at a party.
"Hehe, the more I see that Fu Dou'er and Xuan Xuan Haizi can fight boxing, I am not convinced, I follow Uncle Chang Shi to learn, but I can only do some basic things, probably because I don't want to lose to Fu Dou'er, who is younger than him." Hearing Zhang Manyun say this, Lin Zhu thought in his heart that it was estimated that some people in the Lin family had opinions about him.
The Lin family has no martial arts practitioners, and they also think that it is all done by reckless people, and the people who practice martial arts are all well-developed limbs and simple-minded people, so their children and grandchildren have always focused on reading.
I didn't expect such an outlier as Lin Yuewei to appear, except for Mr. Lin, no one agreed to him to practice martial arts, for fear of delaying the time to study.
On the contrary, Mr. Lin supported him very much, and also found him a good teacher, but there was a condition, that is, he couldn't just practice martial arts without studying. If his studies are affected as a result, he will not be allowed to practice martial arts again.
With this prerequisite, the Lin family was also powerless to refute, so they could only let him go, and of course Lin Zhu, the initiator, was hated.
Especially when Mrs. Lin saw Lin Yuewei's hands that were red or calloused because of martial arts, she was distressed and almost burst into tears.
"Grandmother, I don't hurt, it's fine. Fu Dou'er is younger than me, and he has more injuries on his hands than mine. Inadvertently, Fu Dou'er's name appeared in the Lin Mansion.
"How can he compare to you?" Mrs. Lin intuitively thought that Fu Dou'er only practiced martial arts and was not enlightened, after all, she heard her grandson say that he was only six years old.
"He's a little bit better than me." Lin Yuewei only admitted a little, and he was not convinced, sooner or later he would surpass him in kung fu and homework.
"What's the use of this kind of thing, follow the gentleman in the house, it's right to study hard." Old Madam Lin wanted to persuade him to turn back.
"Fu Douer has read more books than I do." And Lin Yuewei found that since he practiced martial arts, his spirit was much better than before, except for eating and sleeping like before, he was standing still, which made his body very clumsy.
"Grandmother, I only practice for one hour a day, which is what my sister said, I'm afraid I'm still young, my body can't stand it, and after practicing, I can read very quickly, and now my husband praises me for making a lot of progress than before." Lin Yuewei happily reported to Mrs. Lin that he had changed since he practiced martial arts.
"Really? Grandmother heard that you only study for two hours a day, which is much less than the other brothers, isn't it tiring? Old Madam Lin was very curious.
The reason why she opposed Lin Yuewei's martial arts practice was because she delayed the time to study.
"My sister said that I was still young, and two hours a day was enough to study. The rest of the time is about relaxing. Although Lin Yuewei didn't understand the truth of what Lin Zhu said, he saw that Fu Douer and the others had been doing this, so he also followed Lin Zhu's arranged schedule to do it.
He proved to be much more efficient than his brothers who spent all day reading under him.
Everything is sister, sister's, of course Mrs. Lin would not think that the sister in Lin Yuewei's mouth was Lin Qingxue. However, because Xiao Qi's homework has indeed improved a lot compared to before, although she thinks that her grandson is talented and intelligent, she still has less disgust with Lin Zhu. That's a good thing. (To be continued......)
