Chapter 37: The Heart of a Beauty
Jin Zheng replied: "We have already looked for you, and not far from your current house on Xuefu Road, Professor Zhou, the director of academic affairs of the Central Military Academy, will be transferred to the principal of the Northern Public School, and the courtyard of their house will be vacant." The Zhou family is also a big family, and Brother Yuantu is the same courtyard here, with more than thirty rooms in the backyard, and forty or fifty rooms in the front yard, but you have to pay in full in terms of price, 97 silver dollars. What do you think? It's fair. ”
Steward Zhou nodded again and again: "I want it, I want it." ”
Lin Zhennan said with a smile: "Brother Qingyuan, don't you know the financial resources of his Yu family, even 970, 9700 and their family can get it immediately." ”
Steward Zhou immediately modestly said: "Yuantu Gong praised it." It's just that the young master is reluctant to leave the current former residence of Yufu, after all, it is left by the old lady, and the old house should be retained. In this way, I will go back to buy the courtyard of the Zhou family, and there is still a lot of vacant land behind the Yu Mansion that is not accessible, so I bought it for the young master, and I am building a yard behind the current land to open up, and build a yard according to the style of the old house. Although he is modest, he is understatement and has set a matter of hundreds of dollars.
Then Uncle Zhou said to Yu Bule again: "Young master, the families of the three young grandmothers have officially paid their respects today, but Miss Tan's rituals still need the young master to go in person." ”
Yu Bule looked at Tan Jiaren and said softly: "I was out on duty during the previous New Year's holiday, and there happened to be a compensatory holiday, beauty, is it convenient for me to visit my uncle and aunt in Liyang?" ”
Tan Jiaren lowered her head slightly, and hummed softly like a mosquito. He immediately looked up at Lin Zhennan: "Grandpa Lin, thank you for making the decision for us." However, the little woman still has a request, hoping that Grandpa Lin will help. ”
Lin Zhennan sighed, he was very surprised why this obviously knowledgeable little girl would take the opportunity to make a request. looked at Tan Jiaren with great interest, "What are the requirements, tell me about it?" ”
Tan Jiaren brushed the sideburns on her forehead with her hands before she said softly: "The little girl never dared to make a request." It's just that I believe that you know the situation of this cardinal department, Grandpa Lin. The little woman has no foundation, and she is fortunate to be taken care of by Grandpa Lin. However, in addition to the three present in the division, there are 13 sisters, except for Shin Minqian, who already belongs to Zhang Pingbo, as far as the little girl knows, some sisters even came with a mission, either for the family or for the orders of the previous chief. Since the federal government wants to restrict the payment of civil servants... Na..., so the little woman wanted to beg Grandpa Lin to also make a decision for the sisters. ”
Yu Bule hurriedly interjected: "Grandpa Lin, Zhang Pingbo should have seen it, the son of Vice Mayor Zhang of the Capital Circle, he and my subordinate Yangzhou economic official Shen Minqian, the youngest daughter of the Shen family, came together. Yesterday, I took Shin Minqian to meet my parents, and I want to hold the wedding with Zhang Pingbo. ”
Lin Zhennan and Jin Zheng glanced at each other, nodded and said, "It's all your young people's business, of course you can do it together." You are very thoughtful, and we will naturally not object. Then ignoring Yu Bule, he continued to Tan Jiaren with a smile: "Little girl, who else are you?" ”
Tan Jiaren ignored Yu Bule's blocking eyes, raised her head and replied: "Lieutenant Liu Renna, Lieutenant Park Yingmin, Li Zhien, Li Huili, Li Xiyan, Deng Xiujing, Qin Taixi, Pei Zhixiu, Zhou Zhiyu, Sun Feifei, Jiang Shiyan, these are all second lieutenants, and there is also a reserve non-commissioned officer Sun Yanyan who is studying in the military academy, a total of twelve." ”
Lin Zhennan was stunned for a moment, "So many?" Then he looked at Yu Bule teasingly.
Yu Bule said sarcastically: "Sun Yanyan has just completed the ceremony, so it shouldn't be counted." ”
Lin Zhenna finally found an opportunity to interject: "Linglong is not yet an adult? Yanyan has a deep affection for you, but you can't miss it. ”
Jin Yuanyuan also interjected: "That's it, I can't bear to see Yanyan's little girl crying." If you leave her out, won't she cry to death? ”
Jin Zheng was a little surprised, "Your relationship in the division is so good?" It's all about it, how many of you girls have no opinion? ”
Jin Yuanyuan said coquettishly: "The two grandfathers don't know, the girls in our department are as good as sisters." I wish I could get together all day so that I wouldn't be jealous. ”
Lin Zhennan glanced at Linglong again and asked, "What about you, good granddaughter, do you agree?" ”
Linglong nodded in response: "The sisters are very good, and they are really good to the young master." As long as it's good to the young master, Linglong likes it. ”
Lin Zhennan nodded, and looked at Tan Jiaren again: "The little girl has a heart." No wonder Nana treats you like a sister so quickly. Okay, grandpa promised you. But there are only four main rooms, and the others are only side rooms. ”
According to the etiquette, the four wives are all relatives of the Yu family, but all the side rooms are not related to the Yu family. A group of young ladies from famous families in various places can only be concubines without official names when they arrive at Yu Bule's house, which can even be regarded as an insult to the girls' families strictly speaking.
Second, the wife wants three media and six rites to marry, but the concubine is just a "little bit" of the Yu family's own private affairs, even if it is accepted by the family with a simple operation, even if the Yu family wants to do a big job, it is really not allowed in terms of etiquette and etiquette. Who wouldn't expect a perfect wedding for girls?
Third, there is also a huge difference in the status of wives and concubines. For concubines who have no children, their status in the main family is not much higher than that of a servant, and even less than the big girl brought by their husband or wife. Although it is rare for the Federation to have this kind of atmosphere, and it is unlikely that Yu Bule will treat the concubine like this, but after all, it is very unpleasant to say.
Fourth, even if the concubine gives birth to children, they must be handed over to the wives to raise, and the children are counted as concubines, and they can only be regarded as an aunt, and they still can't enter the family tree and participate in the sacrifice. Looking at Lin Linglong's activities of worshipping her adoptive father and grandson's family, it can be seen that all the aunts are courteous with Yu Bule and other guests in the corridor, which is inferior to the status of the guests.
Tan Jiaren smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Grandpa Lin, otherwise the chief doesn't know how long it will be delayed, and he will live up to the youth of the sisters in vain." As long as everyone can still be together, it doesn't matter what the name is, I can let it out at any time. ”
Linglong also answered: "I can also let it, as long as I follow the young master and be a maid." ”
Lin Zhennan looked at Yu Bule seriously and said, "It's all good boys, I'll leave it to you." Manly man, don't let these good girls fail. ”
Yu Bule replied seriously, "Yes, grandpa, please rest assured." ”
Lin Feng saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and came out to relieve his son-in-law and said, "Since the matter is decided, Dad, shall we let the eldest brother handle the formal ceremony first?" ”
Lin Mang is Lin Yun's sister-in-law, and he also joined in the fun and said: "Yes, grandpa, my father finally got a fairy-like sister, and I haven't had time to communicate yet." ”
Lin Yun was a little old-fashioned, but he just said sneeringly: "Don't worry, don't worry." But judging from the eyes, I wish I had accepted this adopted daughter earlier.
Lin Zhennan clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's do the ceremony first, and then everyone will have lunch and have a good exchange." Come, good granddaughter, go with grandpa. Lin Zhennan beckoned to Linglong, who hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his left arm, and called grandpa sweetly.
Lin Zhenna was unruly beside her: "I am your own granddaughter." ”
Lin Zhennan was relieved, smiled and took Lin Zhenna's hand, and said, "Look at how well-behaved my new granddaughter is, how cold is you." I'm worried that you won't be able to get married for a long time. ”
Linglong said mischievously beside her: "Grandpa, Sister Nana is not ice at all in front of the young master." More enthusiastic than the volcano. After speaking, he stuck out his tongue at Lin Zhenna.
Lin Zhennan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, no ice, no ice at all." "Dragged his two granddaughters to the backyard.
Lin Mang came over and laughed: "Originally, I was quite envious of you, but now I can't." I can't wait for a row of beauties. Haha......"
Yu Bule could only repay with an embarrassed face, and teased himself, I am in front of the car from the mountain, and I have to walk if there is no road.
A large group of people followed behind. Yu Bule slowed down and waited for Tan Jiaren, who was walking at the end of the crowd, to come to her side, walk side by side with her, and whispered, "Think clearly?" ”
Tan Jiaren lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Hmm." Although I am a little unwilling, I don't think there will be a better choice. The old headmaster insisted on sending me here, and I guess that's what he meant. ”
Yu Bule said: "You are different from us, many times we have no choice. But you can choose by yourself, no one will force you, and I will help you with the problem if there is a problem. ”
"But hasn't the chief himself been on the roster for years?" Tan Jiaren looked at Yu Bule with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked.
"There was Linglong before, although not many people knew about it. But most of the people at the top also knew that I was waiting for someone, although they didn't know who I was waiting for. Now there is no excuse, otherwise Grandpa Lin would not have put on this position. Mom and Dad left too much inheritance, and the family was too rich, which is the original sin. ”
Tan Jiaren smiled slightly, and said a little helplessly: "But what can I do if I avoid this time?" If the chief is because of the family property, since I have already appeared in the Prosecutor's Department and become your secretary, how can this not be the original sin? Sisters, I don't know, but I'm your secretary, and I know how many eyes are staring at this place, and becoming an alternative in the division, I'm afraid it will become a greater sin. ”
"You can see it very clearly. So you pulled the other sisters into the car as well? ”
"I'm already in this car, so why not my sisters? Since you can't go down anymore, why don't you try to live comfortably? In fact, you and I both know that I have no choice than my sisters. After all, they still have some background or family to rely on, but I don't have any dependence except for the chief. It's not that I'm going to pull them up, it seems that only by strapped to this car is the safest. ”
Tan Jiaren stopped gently, handed out her white and tender little hand, stared at Yu Bule's eyes, and asked seriously and gently: "Although you make me unable to understand, I believe that it is unlikely that I will meet someone better than you in the future." Now that I'm standing here, are you willing to be the person I rely on and cherish me, and not just because of my skin? ”
Yu Bule raised his hand gently, so that the ten fingers were tightly clasped together, and said in a low voice and warmth: "It is the luck of my life to meet you, in addition to Linglong, you are the most worthy of my cherishment." ”
On Tan Jiaren's broken face, a smile gradually bloomed from the bottom of her eyes, to the tips of her eyebrows, the corners of her lips, and the delicate little mole on the tip of her nose. "Thank you for being willing to tell the truth and not lie to me. Now I am more convinced that I made the right choice. ”
The two of them stepped forward again, their fingers clasped together, palms close to each other, and followed the line of the crowd ahead.
The building is about to fall, the mountains and rivers are broken, and under the turmoil and chaos in the last years of Beixi, an insignificant little person, a young man with a pure heart, Su Jingchen's story is not so white.
