Chapter Twenty-Six: Night Talk
The old man picked Lin Xun up and touched Lin Xun's face affectionately, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to make these courtesies." The old man looked at his granddaughter with reluctance. Her granddaughter has just grown up and is going through these storms and hardships, which really hurts her, "girl! Since ancient times, women are mostly the weak side, we can't beat men by force, and we can't beat men with ruthless hearts and cold faces, but there are also many men who bow down at the feet of women and become ministers under the skirt."
Lin Xun's face reflected the light, like a white magnolia in full bloom, delicate and beautiful. The bitterness in the old man's heart suddenly dissipated a little, and his eyes burned as he looked at Lin Xun, "The flowers are delicate, but there are big trees to shade them, and there are poisonous snakes hunting left and right to attack the invaders, looking for a girl!" ”
Lin Xun was not frightened by his grandmother's words, but felt the earnest expectation in it, "Xun'er must be the flower that is held in the palm of his hand"
Old Madam Lin also smiled at this time, "Yes, how can my girl not like the moon shy flower?" It's the old woman who is too worried. Our girl will be happy and happy, and she will be harmonious with her husband. ”
Lin Xun didn't say anything gloomy, she knew that following her grandmother's wishes would make her much happier. She looked at her grandmother's happy appearance, her mouth pouting for a while, and there was a look of struggle in her eyes.
She took a bite of the magnolia cake lightly and said quietly, "Grandmother, Xun'er has an idea, but she wants to say it but doesn't dare to say it." Old Madam Lin saw Lin Xun's cautious appearance and smiled, "Do you still have to play dumb riddles with grandmother?" ”
Lin Xun nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Grandmother, Xun'er has been thinking, the future of this trip to the East Palace is uncertain, I am connected with the fate of the prince, and it has become a line, after the wedding, even if Xun'er is careful and careful, but many things are not something that I or even my father can control, Baiyun Canggou, the world is impermanent, Xun'er doesn't want to become a burden to the Lin family one day, all!" Grandmother, it's better to ..... Why don't we split up! ”
Old Madam Lin was shocked by the separation, and a trace of essence flashed in her cloudy eyes, "This.... Looking for a girl"
Lin Xun held Mrs. Lin's hand tightly and looked at her grandmother sincerely, "Divide the family!" Leave a little incense blood for the Lin family! If I am sick and implicate the Lin family, then the uncle who separated from us can at least be saved! If the crown prince can calm the court, we will not turn our backs on the uncle by blood. ”
In the previous life, the uncle of his own family treated him like this, and Lin Xun didn't want them to stay with his family anymore. After she married into the East Palace, she lived in a secluded house for many things, such as her younger brother Lin Lei's upbringing. If he leaves, then his younger brother will most likely be led by Mrs. Wu to become a cynical second generation official, right?
When Mrs. Lin heard Lin Xun's considerations, she couldn't help but ponder for a while, and she said slowly, "Looking for a girl, what you said is not unreasonable, but the matter of separating the family is too extensive and cannot be done overnight, and this matter must be considered in the long run." ”
Lin Xun knew that his grandmother was thinking about the Lin family, as long as he explained the pros and cons, his grandmother would definitely try to leave a pulse of incense for the Lin family. It was also Lin Xun's expectation that he did not agree immediately, and the separation of the family just after the marriage had an impact on the majesty of the saint, and the grandmother also liked to be lively, and wanted the family to get together in a reunion, and the old man was unwilling to separate until it was absolutely necessary.
Besides, the separation of the family is also a big deal, the gold and silver are soft, and the land and property deeds need to be calculated one by one, and Lin Xun is just planting a seed of separation.
She followed Mrs. Lin's words, "I listen to my grandmother, Xun'er is also thinking about the Lin Mansion, and I don't want the Lin Mansion to disperse because of myself." She touched the golden hairpin on her head and changed the subject, "Grandmother, this golden hairpin is really good-looking, glamorous and vulgar, just in line with my heart." ”
Grandmother smiled and said, "This golden hairpin, it's also some years, it's older than mine, it's my dowry when I get married" said that grandmother took out some treasured objects, "Looking for a girl, these things are grandmother's dowry for you, and it's also grandmother's can't stand you, and the old woman's dowry has been .... There's not much left, and even less for you. ”
Lin Xun shook his head like a rattle, "Xun'er has never felt that grandmother owes Xun'er anything, grandmother has given Xun'er enough." Lin Xun knew that his grandmother had already put in a lot of good things in order to make up for the gambling money of the Great Bolin Celestial Phenomenon, and naturally there was nothing for herself. In the final analysis, Mrs. Lin also worked hard to maintain such a large Lin Mansion.
When the old lady heard Lin Xun's sensible words, she smiled with relief, "Fortunately, over the years, your father has still accumulated a lot of good things for you, and you don't have to worry about it on the day of your wedding. ”
"Father" Lin Xun snorted Lin Tianzheng's name, which she had never figured out, she had always thought that her father was not good to her and did not love herself, but the rich dowry on the day of the wedding surprised her.
Mrs. Lin continued, "There are still some embroidery that are close to yourself, grandmother is old, these eyes are no longer good, and the embroidery can't come, let your aunt and Mrs. Wu prepare for you, what do you think?" ”
Lin Xun quickly shook his head when he thought of his aunt, "Grandmother, you don't have to worry about your aunt, my sister is also at the age of getting married, and then let my aunt worry about me, Xun'er is not happy, and the matter of Xun'er's dowry can be checked by a few close mothers in my house." ”
Old Madam Lin frowned slightly, "It's too aggrieved to find you, in this way, I will let Mama Zhao follow you." ”
Lin Xun smiled, nodded and said, "Grandmother Xie, grandmother doesn't have to worry about Xun'er, the dowry that Xun'er bought by herself will be more in line with Xun'er's wishes." ”
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Xun with some reluctance, "Time is tight, there are less than 3 months to go, you can rest assured that you can leave the rest of the things to me, grandmother will buy everything for you, just be a beautiful bride with peace of mind." ”
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, it was the wedding date set by Emperor Zhong Kang for Lin Xun and Teng Tianhao, and it was a good day calculated by the Tiantian master of Qin Tianjian.
Mama Zhao knocked on the door outside the house, "Old lady, the things that will go to Baolin Temple tomorrow to offer incense have all been prepared, but the weather has gradually turned cold recently, do you want to prepare a few more thick robes?" ”
Mrs. Lin answered in the house, "Then let's prepare more."
Lin Xun raised his head and asked Mrs. Lin, "Grandmother, did you go to Baolin Temple to pray?" Mrs. Lin explained to Lin Xun, "Tomorrow is twenty, and my grandmother wants to go to Baolin Temple to offer incense and pray for your marriage."
The future of the Lin Mansion is safe, and he has recently stayed in the temple for a few days and will come back later. ”
Lin Xun saw that his grandmother was so worried about herself and the Lin Mansion, and his heart was unspeakably sour. Lin Xun said to the old lady, "Grandmother, Xun'er also wants to go to Baolin Temple with you to pray for blessings."
Mrs. Lin was a little strange, "You girl, you don't like to burn incense and worship the Buddha the most on weekdays, and you think the temple is too quiet like stagnant water, why did you become a different person today?" ”
Lin Xun's eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see any expression, "Xun'er feels that Buddhism is mysterious, and karma is between a peck and a lead, so he wants to find peace in his heart through that exquisite Dharma." ”
