Chapter 119: Vinegar
Wu was stunned by Lin Mengyan's words. She didn't expect that her daughter not only overheard her and her husband's conversation, but also tried to marry Xie San in vain, you must know that what Lu Dao County Ling said to her husband was to warn them to recognize their position, even if they knew that Xie San intended to frame them, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
Thinking of what had happened to his family, Wu's tears welled up in his eyes, and he persuaded bitterly: "Mengyan, don't be delusional anymore. While my mother still has some private money, we will find an ordinary family for you and marry ...... far away."
"Mother, have you forgotten? The eminent monk said, I was born to be rich and noble......"
"What are you talking about, that person is clearly a god!" Wu repented so much that his intestines were blue. Over the years, if they hadn't listened to the words of the so-called "senior monks", how could they spoil their daughter lawlessly and make her become reckless.
Lin Mengyan still believes in the words of the "high monk", and she even feels that Xie San's appearance in Jizhou is in response to the prophecy of the high monk. Thinking of the hurried glance at Xie San in the teahouse earlier, she only felt as if she had a little rabbit in her chest, and her liver was beating with a "bang".
At that time, even though Xie San was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she still noticed him at a glance. In her eyes, everything that day was like the will of God.
To be honest, Lin Mengyan thinks Shen Jinglun is good, but his handsomeness is feminine, which woman likes her husband to be whiter and more beautiful than herself? Besides, he was always cold, and sometimes he scared her.
But Xie San is different, he is young, tall and strong, his facial features are not inferior to Shen Jinglun, but his skin is healthy wheat. Make him more manly. The most important. Shen Jinglun is nothing but the patriarch of the Shen clan. It is impossible to enter the court as an official in a lifetime, but what about Xie San? Listening to the meaning of Lu County's order, he is likely to be a nobleman in the capital, or even a dragon son and phoenix grandson. She must grasp the hard-won opportunity, even if it is to be a concubine with him, it is better than marrying the ruthless and unrighteous Shen Jinglun.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengyan anxiously held Wu's hand and pleaded softly: "Mother." Quickly order someone to chase your father back. That sweat towel was ...... with a hard time."
"You're dead to this heart!" Wu categorically rejected Lin Mengyan, pushed her away, and said fiercely: "From this moment on, you give me An An to stay in the house......"
"Mother, the treasury is burning, and the Shen family wants us to pay for the silver, how much private money can you have?"
Wu's language stopper. She never thought that Shen Jinglun really wanted them to compensate for the silver.
"Mother, I see, the fire that night. It is likely that the people of the Shen family teamed up with the eldest aunt and they wanted to force us to death. Maybe those paintings are fakes at all......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu shook his head. I still have doubts in my heart.
Seeing this, Lin Mengyan continued to persuade: "Three years ago, the eldest sister married into the Shen family and solved the urgent needs of the family. Even Lu County's order is obedient to Xie Sanye, I think, neither Uncle Shen nor the eldest aunt dare to object. ”
Wu intuited that if Xie San was really a noble person from the capital, it would be impossible to marry his daughter at this juncture, but the blueprint that Lin Mengyan described to her was too tempting. She also has two sons, and the Lin family can't just cross it like this. If the daughter does not succeed in the end, it is not too late to marry her far away, and her reputation has been ruined, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be much worse. But once it is done, even if it is just a concubine room, it will be a great opportunity for the Lin family to soar, and then they will no longer have to look at Shen Jinglun's face.
Lin Mengyan saw that Wu's expression was loose, and said in her ear: "Mother, I won't tell you anything, I have long felt that the noble person in the mouth of the monk is not Uncle Shen. No matter how rich the Shen family is, after the incident ten years ago, there is no chance to enter the court as an official, where can it be called 'expensive'? But Xie Sanye is different. I have already inquired, not only did he not marry a wife, but he didn't even have a concubine, and Lord Lu wanted to give his daughter to him! ”
Lin Mengyan has lost his way in his dream, and his mind is full of pictures of himself marrying into the capital with ten miles of red makeup and scenery.
Xie San didn't know that he had become a big fat in Lin Mengyan's eyes. He rode his horse to He's house, but hesitated at the gate of He's house. He had to find a good reason to come up and knock on the door, and he couldn't say to people for no reason, I'll see if you're sick.
Seeing passers-by looking sideways, Xie San grabbed his hair irritably. When did he also become squirming? He and He Huan are above board, what does he have to hesitate!
Xie Sansan stepped forward, picked up his fist and knocked it several times in a row.
After a while, the old wooden door creaked open. Uncle Zhang poked his head out and saw Xie San, he was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Third Master Xie, are you looking for the eldest lady?" ”
Xie San only felt a heat on his face, nodded with a stiff neck, and said seriously: "I have an urgent matter to discuss with your eldest lady." ”
Uncle Zhang did not doubt that he had him, and led Xie San to the living room.
Xie San followed him all the way, anxious in his heart. He believed that it was not He Huan who betrayed him, where did he have any urgent matter to find her.
He Huan quickly learned from Bai Shao that Xie San was waiting for her in the living room and had an urgent matter. She asked in surprise: "Did Third Master Xie say that it was urgent?" ”
Bai Shao shook her head, and only said that Uncle Zhang told her that Xie San knocked on the door very quickly, and even spoke very quickly.
Hearing this, He Huan frowned slightly. She believes that Xie San will not really frame Lin Guqing for fornicating with the thief, and He Baihai's family is also not on the same page as the thief, as for whether He Xin's marriage can be completed, she doesn't care at all, so in the past few days, she has been staying in the West Cross Courtyard, either accompanying He Jing to study, or sorting out her personal belongings.
Of course, she doesn't go out of the door, and there are also factors such as Shen Jinglun. At present, it is difficult to remarry Shen Jinglun, and she must slowly figure it out. Before that, she couldn't let Shen Jinglun dislike her in the first place, so she had to keep her distance from Xie San.
However, no matter what Xie San said, he was her life-saving benefactor, and he had an urgent matter to come to the door, and she couldn't avoid it. Therefore, she changed out of her home clothes, checked her hair and makeup, and took Bai Shao to the living room.
Xie San was standing at the door of the living room, racking his brains to "conceive" the so-called urgent matter, when he saw He Huan walking towards him from far and near. He suddenly realized that he had missed her a little after not seeing her for a few days. He hurriedly shook his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind, turned back to sit down at the table, took a sip of his teacup, and felt a hot liquid rush into his mouth. He instinctively wanted to spit out the hot tea, but He Huan had already walked to the door, he could only swallow the hot water hard, so hot that he wanted to jump to his feet, but he still sat on the chair seriously.
"Third Master." He Huan stepped into the room and saluted Xie San, not understanding why he looked strange.
"Miss He." Xie San glanced at Bai Shao.
He Huan hurriedly ordered Bai Shao to wait under the corridor and asked, "Third Master, are you looking for me in a hurry?" ”
Xie San was secretly annoyed in his heart: I can't find you if I'm not in a hurry? After a moment, he nodded and said, "Actually, that's the case." He paused, then turned his back with his hands. He really couldn't think of any "urgent matter" related to He Huan.
He Huan saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that it was inconvenient for him to say something, so he persuaded: "Third master, if you have something, you might as well say it directly." I think it's important that you come in person. ”
Xie San's expression froze, and his brows furrowed even tighter. What's wrong with him? Some of their thoughts did coincide, and he did appreciate some of her actions, but he could not marry her. If she is a man, he can also say: Go, brother is in a bad mood, accompany me to drink. But she is a woman, and the man she admires is still his "enemy" to some extent.
Thinking of He Huan's love for Shen Jinglun, Xie San's heart was even more depressed. Shen Jinglun was not worthy of her at all, but he didn't want to argue with her because of Shen Jinglun, so he could only keep his mouth shut and not mention him.
"Third Master?" He Huan whispered to Xie San's back.
Xie San came back to his senses and said, "I just came to tell you that the second master of the Lin family has gone home." ”
He Huan was stunned for a moment. She had already known about it two days ago, and he came running for this?
Xie San knew what she was thinking, and he was even more embarrassed in his heart, and added: "As for that Shui Ting, I'm afraid I can't find it." ”
"I think so." He Huan nodded, "The third uncle didn't expect the yamen to find her. ”
In a short silence, Xie San turned his head to look at He Huan. Although her clothes were clean and her hair was neatly combed, her clothes were all white, and the wooden hairpin on her head had been worn by the years so that she could not see the color clearly. He suddenly discovered that her facial features were good, and if she was dressed well, she would be worthy of the word "beauty".
"You are a woman, don't you know the truth that the Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes?" Xie San blurted out.
He Huan lowered his head to check what he was wearing. Although her clothes are a little old, they are better than clean and tidy, so it shouldn't be rude. She said calmly: "Third master, you don't know the situation of my family, as long as the clothes can still be worn, there is no need to waste silver to buy new ones." I think, you also agree, you should not be a swollen face and become fat. Of course, when I go out, I try not to be rude in front of people. ”
He Huan just wanted to express that she accepted his suggestion, but when he heard this in Xie San's ears, it was clearly implying that he was not worthy of her dressing him up. Suddenly, he thought of her wearing a brand-new aqua green skirt and sitting in the Shen family's carriage. Although it was only a glimpse, he clearly remembered that the dress set off her like a lotus flower that had just bloomed in the blue water.
As the saying goes, a woman is the one who pleases herself, and the person she admires is Shen Jinglun, not him, so naturally she will not bother with him.
Overnight, a strange and strange emotion hit Xie San's heart. He knew early on that he couldn't marry her, so naturally he wouldn't like her, but why was he so uncomfortable?
Xie San was upset, and when he saw He Huan looking at him suspiciously, he smiled "hehe", pretended to be indifferent and said: "Actually, we are brothers who have shared hardships, if you don't mind, I can still afford a few clothes." (To be continued......)
PS: What's that, although Xiao Xie can fight and lead the troops, he likes a woman, and he is still the first time that the big girl gets on the sedan chair. Looking back on the youthful years, who hasn't done a few stupid things for love, so don't despise Xiao Xie's childish actions, people are not inexperienced.
