Chapter 140: I Heard You Don't Want to Marry Me
"Miss, the government has sent a steward to say that today is the master's birthday and the eldest lady wants to go back."
Lin Mumu yawned and washed her face. "Got it."
Lin Haode is usually quite low-key, and his birthday banquet will not be large, at most, he will invite a few colleagues who usually have a good relationship to set up two tables in the house.
"Miss, what kind of gift does Miss plan to give on my lord's birthday?"
"You didn't embroider a 'longevity' character when you embroidered a purse before, so you brought that purse with you."
Qiaoqiao looked helpless. "Miss, the embroidery of the purse slave is not good......"
"What's the matter, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, I believe my father won't mind."
After packing up, Lin Mumu took Shuangshuang and Qiaoqiao into the carriage and went to the Lin Mansion.
The banquet was held at noon, and it was almost the hour when Lin Mumu arrived.
"Old lady, madam, the eldest lady is back." The maid who reported walked into the back hall.
Old Madam Lin was joking with He, and the smile on her face remained unchanged after listening to the briefing. "Quick, invite the eldest lady in, this child is so willful, and her father spoiled her when she was a child, I originally thought that she was just going to pass the time when she entered the court as an official, but who knew that the plague was cured, hehehehe......"
"The old lady is really ashamed of us for this, the eldest lady of your mansion is a powerful person, and even the emperor said that the medical skills are good, and it is also your blessing to have such a capable granddaughter."
"But it's not, what kind of disease is the plague, I just never dreamed that it could be cured, Miss Lin is really a miracle doctor."
The ladies in the house had sweeter mouths than the other, and laughed deeper at the folds on the old lady's face.
Zhang sat aside with a smiling face, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand hard to hold back the anger in his chest.
He followed the old lady and smiled like a flower, as if those people were praising not Lin Mumu but her.
"I don't know if Miss Lin has a suitable marriage match now, my youngest son will end next year, before Lord Lin also read the article made by that kid in my family, and praised a few words that the child will be a promising person in the future, I look at the child and Miss Lin's temperament is also similar, if the old lady thinks ......"
"Yo, what this lady said is really funny, your son made an article and was praised by my nephew twice, which is considered to be promising?" Before the lady could finish speaking, He interrupted with a sarcastic expression.
The smile on the lady's face froze, her husband is Lin Haode's subordinate, although his official position is not as good as Lin Haode, but he is also a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as long as the squire's son is not too stubborn, the future will not be too bad, where do you hear that someone does not take his own family in his eyes so much.
"My eldest niece has a high eye, but she can't see any melon and rotten date." He Shi saw that Mrs. Shilang was angry, and he was even more proud in his heart, and he didn't weigh how many catties and taels he had if he wanted to rob someone with her Shao'er.
The room was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere fell into silent embarrassment for a while, the old lady, as the master of the back house, should open her mouth at this time to find a way to round things over, so as not to offend people because of He's few words, but the old lady didn't seem to feel the atmosphere, and said to He with a smile: "Sister, needless to say, I also know that Shao'er is a talented, not someone else can compare." ”
That's what the waiter said
Mrs. Lang's face sank completely.
A touch flashed in Zhang's eyes, the dead old woman in the countryside just can't be on the stage!
"Miss, here."
Lin Mumu's arrival directly broke the delicate atmosphere in the room.
Lin Mumu straightened her back and walked into the back hall. "Say hello to Grandmother."
She wore a dark blue hibiscus flower tunic dress today, and the dark blue color reflected in her eyes, making her clear eyes look more profound than anyone could explore.
She stood in the middle of the room, and instantly compared all the ladies in the room, and the aura exuded by her body was by no means comparable to that of ordinary backhouse ladies.
Lin Zihan stood in the corner and looked at Lin Mumu slightly, I don't know when the eldest sister became so dazzling, so dazzling that she couldn't match it in her life.
"Mu Mu is back, come to grandmother's side." Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Mumu with a kind smile on her face, and her soft gaze made Lin Mumu feel uncomfortable.
Still, she took two steps forward, to a distance of two paces from the old lady.
"You worked hard a few days ago, grandmother knows that you are a capable person, don't be angry about what your mother doesn't want you to be an official, move back to the house tomorrow."
Burst!
Zhang's mouthful of tea almost squirted out of anger in his mouth!
This old immortal thing dared to slander her in front of her!
Even if Zhang doesn't want to open his mouth anymore, he has to speak, otherwise he doesn't know what nonsense this guy will say!
"Mother, I also see that you are not happy, you see that the eldest lady's medical skills are so powerful now, presumably there are no incurable diseases in this world that can be difficult to get the eldest lady." Zhang's words not only whitewashed himself, but also took Lin Mumu to the ditch.
Lin Mumu took the opportunity to leave the old lady and walked to the chair and sat down. "Madame trusts me so much, I am really moved, why don't you prove my medical skills to everyone in person, Madame will drink two sips of Heding Red and see if I can save Madame back?"
“!!” I'll drink you up!
If it weren't for the fact that his sanity still existed, the Zhang family really hated to tear Lin Mumu's mouth apart.
She stroked her sideburns, and her eyes flashed with a fierce look. "The eldest lady is really joking, where can people eat the crane top red casually."
"Old lady, the old man sent a slave to ask you, is there a banquet?" Although Lin Haode is the protagonist today, the old lady is his mother, and people come to ask to show his respect for the old lady.
"Well, let's have a feast."
Because there were not many people coming today, there were only three tables on the female side plus the ladies in the Lin Mansion, so the meal was placed in an empty room in the back hall.
The old lady asked Lin Mumu to sit down beside her, and Lin Mumu was as kind as a stream.
Today's people are all official wives, and everyone claims to be educated, so no one makes any noise during the meal.
"Mu Mu, your elbow stew is very bad, you can taste it."
Lin Mumu lowered his eyes and looked at the elbow in the bowl, and only glanced up at He Shi slightly. "Thank you, Auntie."
Lin Zihan saw this scene in his eyes, only to feel that his heart was swollen uncomfortably, and he had lost his appetite when he looked at the table full of delicacies.
The old lady had been hungry when she was young, so she didn't know anything even now
What does it mean so far, she was stunned to eat ten percent full after a meal, she didn't drop the chopsticks, and those ladies and ladies could only hold on to eat a few more bites, but in her heart she despised the old lady from beginning to end.
After eating the last bite of chicken thigh meat into her stomach, the old lady put down her chopsticks with satisfaction.
"There is a troupe in the garden, please go to the garden to watch the play." The two maids helped the old lady to stand up.
Those ladies naturally had no reason to refuse, but Lin Mumu didn't have the slightest interest in them, and after they left, she planned to go back to the small courtyard where she used to live for a while.
"Cousin, don't go!"
Lin Mumu was about to walk up a corridor when he heard a sound from behind a small rockery, which was a little familiar.
She motioned for Qiaoqiao and Shuangshuang to watch from the sidelines, and she ...... Blatantly eavesdropping.
"Cousin, you, let go of me, if people see it, it won't be clear!"
Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows, it was Lin Zihan's voice.
"I'll let you go, don't go, I have something to say to you."
Lin Mumu stretched her neck to look, and saw Liang Shao and Lin Zihan standing opposite each other, and at this time, both of them blushed and looked really green and funny.
"Third cousin, I, I don't know about the marriage...... Actually, I think, the person I want to grow old with is you......" Liang Shaoyi grabbed Lin Zihan's hand, and he was so nervous that he stammered.
Lin Zihan wanted to dodge as if he was frightened, but he only struggled lightly and didn't move.
"Cousin, you shouldn't be like this, grandmother has already discussed your eldest sister's marriage with your aunt, you don't want to come to me again in the future, how do you let your eldest sister deal with herself like this?"
"But I'm ...... I, I'm going to tell my grandmother that the person I'm going to marry is you, not my eldest cousin. Liang Shao let go of Lin Zihan's hand and turned around to leave.
"Cousin, don't go!" Lin Zihan couldn't pull it.
Lin Mumu glanced at the direction Liang Shao left, turned around and followed.
The Lin Mansion is not big, but it is not small, and there are not so many servants, so there are still many blind spots that others can't see.
Liang Shao sneaked into the back garden, as a party who was about to marry Lin Mumu, he only found out about this matter yesterday, and he only found out about it when the maid next to the He family said that he had leaked his mouth.
When Lin Mumu saw that Liang Shao was about to go out of the second door, he stretched out his hand and pulled him into a vacant room.
"Hmm!"
"Don't scream, or I'll beat you."
Liang Shao "......"
"Big cousin, you, what are you doing here?" Liang Shao saw that it was Lin Mumu and wanted to leave as soon as he saw it, and if people saw the two of them here, it would be even more unclear.
"What to do? I heard that you don't really want to marry me, what's the matter, can't you like Miss Ben or what? Lin Mumu clasped his hands around his chest and stared at him with a ruffian face.
Where has Liang Shao seen such a girl's house, he was directly stunned.
"Are you going to tell your grandmother that you don't want to marry me?"
Liang Shao nodded back to his senses. "Big cousin, forgive me, it's really Liang Shao's heart...... Nothing to do with the big cousin. ”
Lin Mumu directly picked up a stool and sat down. "Do you think your grandmother will say yes?"
Liang Shao pursed his lips. "I, I'll definitely beg my grandmother ......"
