Chapter 59 Becoming a Concubine
"Oh, don't be afraid." Lin Shizhao saw that she was dazed, and he comforted and explained, "The gangster you met before has been scared away. It just so happened that Bai Gongzi and I went to Yongzhou together, met you on the road, and saw you jumping into the river, so Bai Gongzi went down to save you. ”
"What is this?" Lin Yingyue's brain was still a mess, and she gasped: "Dad, I'm not dreaming, right?" Or did you hallucinate before you died? Ahem, cough ......" said too quickly, and my throat itched and I couldn't help coughing.
"Don't worry, Dad will tell you slowly." Lin Shizhao personally brought a cup of tea over and fed her to drink, "That's the case, my Bai Gongzi has some dealings in business, and I have dealt with her once or twice. A few days ago, Bai Gongzi suddenly came to the capital to find me and told me about your situation......"
"Wait, do you mean Bai Yizhi?" Lin Yingyue asked incredulously.
"It's him." Lin Shizhao's tone was very polite and respectful to Bai Yizhi, and continued: "He said that you had an accident on the way to the capital, got separated from your family, and went to Zhennan Hou Mansion to become the aunt of the prince. He also said that the temper of the Hou Shizi of Zhennan was not very good, and he could not persuade him, so he asked him to go to Yongzhou. For the sake of father and daughter's relatives, I beg Zhennanhou to let you go back. ”
Lin Yingyue's mind turned and nodded, "Yes, he left after the last time he had an argument with Shizi." I thought he wouldn't care about me anymore. I didn't expect that I actually went to the capital to find you......" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart.
It turned out that Bai Yizhi didn't leave her alone, but went to rescue the soldiers.
Lin Shizhao asked again: "Since you fell into the hands of Hou Shizi of Zhennan, why did you run out again?" ”
"That's ......," Lin Yingyue explained briefly.
Lin Shizhao was silent for a while, and then said, "It's okay." Now that you have escaped from the Zhennan Hou Mansion, you don't have to go to the Zhennan Hou again. I think that although his family is powerful and noble, it is only in Yongzhou. You are a serious folk girl, and the whole world is looking for you again, not to mention that they don't know your whereabouts. ”
Lin Yingyue smiled, "Dad, I'm an aunt who ran away, how could they find it again?" Even if they know me, they don't want me to go back and ruin the reputation of Huo Mansion. I think that the prince just sees me as fresh, and he has no hatred, so he won't come all the way to chase and kill me. ”
Lin Shizhao seemed to think deeply and said, "It's this reason. ”
Lin Yingyue lowered her head and pondered for a while, "It's just that ...... now," she pondered and said, "I've been running back and forth like this for a long time, if it spreads, I'm afraid that the reputation of the Lin family's daughter will not be good." It's delaying my sisters, so it's better to ...... and find a clean place for me to become a monk. ”
"It doesn't have to be this way." The one who answered her was Bai Yizhi who walked in from outside the door.
"Bai Gongzi." Lin Yingyue looked over gratefully, and had the heart to say a few words of thanks, and thought that the great grace would not be thankful, and it would be too insincere to say a few words lightly.
Bai Yizhi arched his hand first, "Abrupt." Then he said, "I heard Miss Lin say that she wants to become a monk just now, I don't think it needs to be like this." At that time, you came out with your family, and now you are with Mrs. Lin again, who knows where you went in the middle? Presumably, the family members of Yangzhou Lin Mansion thought that you were staying in the capital. ”
"That's right." Lin Shizhao slapped his thigh and said happily: "Why didn't I think of this." ”
Lin Yingyue's eyes also flashed with joy.
Although she said lightly, she was a monk or something, but who wants to become a monk in a good year? Who wants to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha for a lifetime? Besides, a good eldest lady is a monk, and it also makes people gossip and suspicious.
That's no way, if there is another good way, I don't want to.
Bai Yizhi smiled and said, "So, I mean." At present, while people don't know and ghosts don't know, Miss Lin still follows Mrs. Lin back to the capital, lives for a while, and then returns to Yangzhou together for the Chinese New Year. ”
Lin Shizhao nodded, "That's good." ”
Bai Yizhi said again: "It's just that the subordinates who followed the eldest lady to the capital at the beginning, as well as the subordinates who brought it this time, including the subordinates who have not seen the eldest lady in the capital, have all been arranged." ”
"I'll arrange this, it doesn't matter." Lin Shizhao said calmly.
Lin Yingyue's eyes were slightly moist.
I feel that although my father is not by my side all the year round, he is still a flesh and blood relative, and he is good to her daughter.
Lin Shizhao said again: "Although the Zhennan Hou Mansion is very rich, but the heart of the prince is still too young, and it is reasonable for you to be unwilling to have a room of concubines." Originally, I thought that if Zhennanhou refused to be accommodating and let people go, my father would have no choice, so I had to let you suffer some hardships in the rich nest. But now that it's out, Dad will make other arrangements for you. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Yizhi suddenly spoke, "Yingyue, how about you follow me?" ”
"Huh?!" Lin Yingyue was scorched by lightning.
Lin Shizhao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yingyue, you don't know." It was freezing cold, and the cold water in the river could freeze people to death. Bai Gongzi didn't say a word, he jumped down to save you, how deep is this affection? Besides, since there are heroes saving beauty in front, it is also a good story to promise each other. ”
Lin Yingyue was still confused for a while.
Bai Yizhi looked at her with clear eyes, "But ......, reluctant to have a son?" ”
There is no need to think about this question, Lin Yingyue instinctively said: "How come?" If I am reluctant to him, An An will be an aunt in Zhennan Hou Mansion, so why bother to escape? ”
Bai Yizhi sighed: "That's to hate me." ”
"I didn't!" Lin Yingyue hurriedly said: "Bai Gongzi, you saved me three times and twice, how can I hate you?" It's just ......" she was entangled in her heart for a long time, "It's just that I have stayed in Huo Mansion, and you don't care if you ......?" ”
Bai Yizhi smiled slightly, "What's that?" You can't help yourself. ”
Lin Yingyue was still hesitating, "But ......"
"Bai Gongzi, I can call the shots in this matter." Lin Shizhao snatched his daughter's words, and said with a smile: "I think it's because her girl's family is shy and embarrassed, so she refuses to accept it in person." Bai Gongzi, you go back to rest first, recuperate your body, and I will give you a satisfactory answer from Yingyue's side. ”
In that tone, my daughter was about to give it away directly.
Lin Yingyue was embarrassed to see that her father was so enthusiastic, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Bai Yizhi got up to say goodbye and said with a smile: "Say goodbye first." ”
As soon as he left, Lin Shizhao sent someone back and hurriedly said, "Yingyue!" You're so confused. Now, you are the fugitive concubine of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, even if your father seals the mouth of the subordinate, you can't find a good relative. Since Bai Gongzi is affectionate and kind to you, and he is also a dignified person, why is he still unwilling? ”
"I ......" Lin Yingyue shook her head, "Although Bai Yizhi is good, but ......, presumably he also asked me to be a concubine." ”
"You still want to be a wife?" Lin Shizhao stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and pointed to the next door, "Do you know what Bai Yizhi's background is?" His grandfather is the emperor's master, and he is the most trusted person today. His father was promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and he has an uncle in the military department, and he himself has a bright future in the future. ”
"He ......"
Lin Shizhao snorted coldly, "Even if you don't have an accident, it is impossible for you to go to a wealthy family like the Bai family to be a serious grandmother!" To be a favored aunt is a high climb. ”
Father's face turned too fast, and for a while, Lin Yingyue couldn't get used to it.
Lin Shizhao continued: "Originally, I was thinking about seeing what the situation was on the Huo family's side. If you really become an aunt, if you are not an angry girl, it is not bad to follow the prince. Now, since you have escaped, it is naturally better to follow Bai Gongzi. ”
Lin Yingyue's heart was cold.
My father had a fatherly face before, but in a blink of an eye, he revealed his true face as an imperial businessman,---- as long as he was a powerful person, he liked it if it was beneficial to his business. Whether it is Huo Yan or Bai Yizhi, you can give your daughter to any concubine, and you can give it away happily.
The previous warmth and affection were all coaxing her to be obedient and doing it for Bai Yizhi.
Thinking about it this way, there is no need to sue my father about my grandmother.
Father definitely didn't want to cause more trouble.
In his eyes, his daughter is just a piece of goods to be sold at a price, and it is only useful when it is sold well.
"Yingyue, don't be confused." Lin Shizhao continued to persuade: "It's rare that such a noble figure as Bai Gongzi is so tempted by you as a little merchant girl, and he doesn't care about your loss of ......."
"I didn't lose my life!" Lin Yingyue finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily.
"Nothing, no?" Lin Shizhao was puzzled, and in shock, he even forgot to avoid speaking, "The prince of Nanhou Mansion in that town, I heard that there are more than ten aunts, and they are willing to guard you?" It's hard to do it. ”
"Old lady Lin!" Lin Yingyue was really angry, "The person in front of you is no one else, let alone a thing, it is your flesh-and-blood daughter!" Don't say anything indecent. ”
Lin Shizhao was scolded by his daughter, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry. Then he felt that he had indeed made a gaffe just now, and he was at fault, and he had to wait for his daughter to cling to the powerful, so he couldn't help but soothe his tone, "Okay, okay, don't be angry." It was my father who was in a hurry and didn't think about it, so he said it. ”
Lin Yingyue was so angry that she bit her lip tightly.
She felt so stupid.
That's right, this so-called putting aside interests, it is also often running outside. In a year, the time to see his wife and children is only half a month of the New Year, how many feelings can be talked about? Besides, businessmen can't afford to be early if they can't make profits, and their daughters who lose money naturally can't have feelings.
Unless, sell it for a good price.
