Chapter 118: A Chance Encounter with an Old Friend
Lin Yue stayed in the Xiaoyao Mansion for more than half a month before he was able to return home, and when he went back, he almost didn't set off firecrackers to celebrate. And Mo Jinglin was not so happy, but seeing Lin Yue's happy appearance, he couldn't bear to keep her anymore, so he let her go back.
Lin Yue has been trapped in the palace for most of the month, so he took Lin Yi to accompany him around the day after returning home, and after buying a few beads, he took Lin Yi into a teahouse to drink tea and rest for a while.
Just when Lin Yue was chattering non-stop to Lin Yi, someone behind him smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I never thought that Sister Yue's temperament has changed a lot, she is about to get married, and she is still so childish." ”
Lin Yue had no choice but to turn around to see who it was, and what caught her eye was a fair and translucent face, with delicate facial features and a smile, which looked very kind. With his memory, Lin Yue hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Ruyi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
When Lin Yi saw someone coming, he also got up and said, "Sister Ruyi." ”
An Ruyi took Lin Yue's hand and sat down, and said to Lin Yi, "Xiao Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I have grown up a lot." I've heard that you're doing a lot of business now. ”
"Just play around and pass the time." Lin Yi politely replied, to be honest, if he could, he would rather be tempered in the army like his eldest brother.
"When did Sister Ruyi come to this Chaoyue City?" Lin Yue asked.
This An Ruyi's surname is An, and it has a little relationship with An Yuyan's maiden family. A few years ago, An Yuyan's father, Dingguo Gong's 60th birthday, invited many clansmen to come, and this An Ruyi came to Chaoyue City at that time. Because she is a few older than Lin Yue, she takes care of them like a big sister. Later, he had emotional entanglements with Lin Xin, who was the same age, but in the end, the two broke up. In the final analysis, although An Ruyi's surname is An, her family background is far inferior to the Lin family, so she was opposed by An Yuyan.
"Just arrived a few days ago." An Ruyi said truthfully.
"And where do you live now?" Lin Yue asked again.
"An aunt who lives at home."
Lin Yue wanted to ask why he didn't come to the Lin Mansion to borrow a place or go to his grandfather's house. But after thinking about it, I still didn't ask, it must be because An Ruyi didn't want to, so I didn't come to them.
When Lin Yi heard this, he also knew in his heart that An Ruyi must not want to have any more entanglements with their family, so he had to change the topic and ask, "Sister Ruyi came to Chaoyue City at this time, is she here to relax or is there something wrong?" ”
"The crown prince chooses a concubine, and I wait for these unmarried women of the right age to come to the draft."
When Lin Yue heard this, he remembered this, and recently he did hear that the prince was going to choose a concubine. Because it's none of my business, I didn't pay much attention to it. None of these princes have ever married a wife, and when he was assigned to marry the fifth prince, he only pointed out the marriage, and did not mention when the marriage would be completed, because the prince has not yet married. Therefore, as the fifth prince in the fifth ranking, even if he decides to marry early, he will generally not marry first.
"Sister Ruyi is also going to run?" Lin Yue asked, it stands to reason that at this age of An Ruyi, she should have married a woman a long time ago.
"Hmm." An Ruyi replied softly.
Lin Yue and Lin Yi are not very comfortable, no matter what, this An Ruyi is also her own sister, why is she still unmarried, don't be inseparable from her eldest brother. If this is the case, their Lin family will really be sorry for An Ruyi.
An Ru said that Lin Yue and Lin Yi suddenly stopped talking, so they smiled and said, "What's the matter, what's so upset, I'm just here to go through the motions, you know, at my age, it is estimated that the prince will not look down on me." ”
Lin Yue looked at her, a beauty like a hibiscus, how could she not be in the eyes of the prince. The crown prince and concubine are definitely of noble birth, and it is impossible to have An Ruyi's background. I'm afraid that I will be selected into the Tai** Palace, as a concubine or something.
"Okay, Sister Ruyi, let's not mention this, tell me how you have been doing in the past few years?" Lin Yue said on a different topic, after all, what is the future of An Ruyi, how can they guess now.
"It's good, I've been learning to be a female celebrity with my mother at home all day long, and I'm not sad to be a housekeeper. What about you? ”
"We're not the same before." Lin Yue said casually. I thought silently in my heart, it's probably the same, but this Miss Lin is no longer the previous Miss Lin.
"Now that you have been married to the King of Ease, where is it still the same." An Ruyi quipped. Although she is not in Chaoyue City, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything.
Lin Yue said with a bitter face, "Good sister, don't mention this matter." ”
"What, the prince treats you badly?"
"Not really. We haven't gotten married yet, and how can I know if he's good to me now. I just don't want to get married so early. If I could, I would rather not marry. Lin Yue finished speaking. I was secretly glad that I didn't have to participate in the prince's draft, otherwise, I guess I would have been selected to be a concubine, after all, this daughter of the Lin family is a little bit less than enough to be a concubine, but it is more than enough to be a concubine, not to mention that marrying her is equivalent to getting the support of the general's mansion, so she will definitely be elected, but not as a concubine.
"This woman is going to marry after all, since you are engaged to King Xiaoyao, don't think about it anymore." An Ruyi persuaded, but she was thinking about herself, for the sake of a Lin Xin over the years, no one would marry, but now it has been delayed until the prince chooses a concubine, and she has to participate if she doesn't want to. I accidentally saw Lin Yue and the two of them today, and I wanted to ask how Lin Xin was, but I didn't know how to speak. What's more, he both loved and hated Lin Xin, hating him for listening to An Yuyan's words back then and being so cruel to himself.
Lin Yi suddenly said beside him, "Only the little sister in our family is engaged now, and the few of us who are brothers have been left behind by her." ”
Lin Yue heard that Lin Yi intended to reveal some news about Lin Xin to An Ruyi, but she didn't agree with this, after all, it was impossible for Lin Xin and An Ruyi to have anything to do with it, so it was better not to let them have anything to do with it.
It's just that now that Lin Yidu said this, she had no choice but to reply, "It's not that I'm willing to preempt you." Besides, isn't the eldest brother saying kiss? Lin Xin obeyed An Yuyan's arrangement, and had already seen Zheng Xiangmeng from the Taiping Mansion a few days ago. Lin Yue happened to be in the palace when the two met, so they didn't know that this was what her second brother Lin Ping told her after she returned to the house.
When An Ruyi heard this, he lost his mind for a while, too, as the eldest son of the General's Mansion, how could he not say that he was married, because he saw that there was no news of his marriage in the past few years, so he was just delusional.
Lin Yi heard his sister-in-law say this, and saw An Ruyi's distraction when he heard about this, and he was even more sure that An Ruyi was still unmarried because of his eldest brother. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I just wanted to reveal some news about my eldest brother to An Ruyi, lest she want to ask but didn't dare to ask, I didn't think too much, I never thought that my sister had grown up, and I knew to tell the eldest brother about my relatives, so as not to let An Ruyi think about it again.
"Oh, third brother, I forgot to make an appointment with the prince, let's go quickly." Lin Yue looked at An Ruyi like that, and said with an excuse.
"You, you're still forgetful, so Sister Ruyi, let's go first, and make an appointment another day." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he pulled Lin Yue and was about to leave, but Lin Yue just hurriedly said goodbye to An Ruyi and left.
In fact, several people know that there is no appointment, but it is just to let An Ruyi be alone for a while. An Ruyi sat there and thought with a wry smile, she didn't expect Sister Yue to be so careful, and she knew to save some face for herself. couldn't help sighing, in the past few years, he couldn't forget Lin Xin after all, and this matter was easily seen by Lin Yue and his brother and sister. Sitting and sitting, he started crying, and the girl behind him didn't dare to say anything, his own young lady has often been like this in recent years, sitting there and not saying anything, just crying. She knew in her heart that Miss was thinking about Lin Xin's son.
An Ruyi had been sitting there crying quietly, and the people who came and went looked at this beauty and wept, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"What's going on with the girl?" Suddenly, a man asked.
An Ruyi realized that she was in the teahouse instead of her own boudoir, and she was inevitably embarrassed, and replied softly with a red face, "I haven't encountered anything difficult." Thank you for your concern. ”
Then, he turned to the girl and said, "Let's go back." ”
When the girl heard this, she followed An Ruyi away, and before leaving, she didn't forget to glance at the man, and saw that he was still staring at the back of her own lady, and couldn't help but sigh that her own lady's appearance can easily attract people. was born as a Lin Gongzi, no one looked down on him, he didn't marry, but he dragged it out until now he had to participate in the draft, which is really pitiful.
The guard on the side of the man saw that his master was still staring at the back of the woman leaving, so he had to go up and say, "Your Highness, it's time to go in, it's still waiting over there." ”
This person who was called His Royal Highness by the guards was none other than the crown prince Mo Yongheng. "Check it out for the palace, whose lady is that woman?"
When the guard heard this, he was a little stunned, after all, his master had never been so concerned about a woman, he had never considered whether the background of those women could help him ascend to the throne, and other women would not look at it. The woman's appearance just now was indeed outstanding, but the master's interest still surprised him, so he had to reply, "The little one will go and check." ”
After Mo Yongheng saw the guards leaving, he entered a certain box, and the people in it were his maternal uncle, Wu Yong of Zhenguo Mansion, and Wu Xiangling's father. When two people meet in private, they naturally talk about things that cannot be known to others.
However, Wu Yong was not in a hurry to say anything, but asked, "What's the matter with the Ye family's children, they are all engaged to Ling'er, but they have never come to see Ling'er." ”
Mo Yongheng naturally knew that Ye Ning didn't want to marry his cousin. But in order to win over the Ye family, my cousin must marry Ye Ning. I had to smile and say to my uncle, "Then Ye Ning wants to go out to study before getting married, he told Bengong about this, and Bengong can't refuse his request." ”
