"Second brother and sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't help you with this favor. You know the character of my eldest brother, every time he visits the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, he is closed. Not to mention my sister-in-law, although Miss Lin San is not her granddaughter, she was brought up by her since she was a child, and she is more precious than her sister-in-law, Lin Second Miss and Miss Lin, how can she be willing to let Miss Lin San marry?"

Lin said, secretly saying in his heart: This Feng's third nephew is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat.

The Feng family is a fallen old family in Yunnan, although it has the shadow of the ancestors, but in recent years, there are fewer and fewer scholars, and the side branches of the Feng family in the capital have set up separate doors, and they do not recognize the so-called Feng family lineage in Yunnan.

The Marquis of Dongchang in Xi'an is a noble family of hundreds of years, and generations have produced scholars, and the ancestors are a seven-jinshi, ten Hanlin Academy, almost eight Hanlin are from the Dongchang Lin family in Xi'an. And the Xi'an Lin family study is even more presentable, and it can compete with the serious Bailudong Academy, Sanming Academy, and Baicao Academy outside.

I don't know how many dignitaries in Yunnan wrote to the Lin family in a year, asking the Lin family to find a way to stuff their relatives and sons into the Lin family's genealogy in Xi'an to study, but none of the Lin family agreed. Dongchanghou has been on good terms with her for a long time, and he refuses to recognize her as a sister, how can he agree to help her with this?

"What can I do? His uncle had already stuffed me with a thousand taels of silver, and said that I should do it. If the matter is not done, I am afraid that I will not be able to get this thousand taels and will be questioned by his uncle. Old sister, you have to help me! As soon as Feng Lao'an's words fell, if it weren't for the Lin family hurriedly holding on, I was afraid that Feng Lao'an would have knelt down for the Lin family.

"Second brother and sister, what are you doing here? Could it be that you can't do this, and his uncle still wants to beat you and scold you?" Lin Shi helped Feng Lao'an back onto the kang and asked.

"Old sister, you know it too. In the past few years, Hua'er has been obsessed with gambling stones, and he took the family's silver to gamble with others outside in three days, but Hua'er is a knowledgeable person. At the beginning, I was coaxed away by others for 10,000 taels of silver, and my eldest daughter-in-law is an unassertive person, everything depends on Hua'er, if I hadn't hidden the deed of ownership left by the master, I am afraid that Hua'er has already gambled with others. ”

As he spoke, Feng Lao'an's eyes became wet, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

"I talked to his uncle about it, and his uncle was willing to give 5,000 taels to fund us, if it weren't for his uncle's 5,000 taels, I'm afraid that our second room would have been unable to open the pot for a long time. That's why I agreed to tell your Dongchang Lin family on behalf of his uncle, otherwise where would I lose this old face?" Feng Lao'an gradually stopped his tears as he spoke.

Thanks to Feng's family, he was born in a big family and knew that etiquette, righteousness and shame were shameful, if he changed others, the Lin family would not agree to help them talk about it, but he was afraid that others would already start to make a big noise, where would he let go of the Lin family so easily?

"Second brother and sister, although I can't help you go to the Dongchang Marquis Mansion to say Xiang, I can help you go to Zhengding Lin's house to say Xiang. Zhengding Lin family and Dongchang Hou Mansion are brothers of the same mother, although the Zhengding Lin family is not as rich and noble as Dongchang Hou, but it is better than the simple population, and the girls raised are not necessarily worse than the girls raised by other people! Lin picked up a plate of peanut candy on the high table next to him and handed it to Feng Laoanren.

"I've tried this peanut candy, and you can try it too. You're also a grandmother, so you cry and cry casually, what do you look like? Hurry up and eat a sugar sweetheart. Listening to what the Lin family said, Feng Lao'an had already taken a piece of peanut candy.

Before the peanut candy could be put into his mouth, Feng couldn't help but say, "Old sister, are you willing to help me go to Zhengding Lin's house to talk about it?"

"The eldest girl of the Lin family in Zhengding, my cousin's granddaughter Lin Rumin just turned twenty years ago, but because she is weak and sick, she hasn't married for so many years. If your third nephew is willing, I can help you go to Zhengding to talk about this family business, but I have one thing to tell your nephew, after marrying the girl home, you must stay with good food and drink, and you must not slack off. As soon as Lin's words fell, he called Mama Liang in.

"Okay, since the old sister should go down, then I will write to his uncle and say that they are all girls surnamed Lin, what does Zhengding have to do with the Dongchang Marquis Mansion?"

Feng Lao'an came to the Lin family tonight for this matter, and seeing that the matter had been said, there was no need for her to bother the Lin family anymore, so she stood up and was about to leave.

The Lin family didn't keep her, and watched her leave like this.

Feng is not as simple as it seems, she is just a real old fox.

When she first married into the Gu family, she saw that the Feng family was scheming, and when she divided the family property, she specially coaxed Mrs. Tai to give the second room an extra 3,000 acres of fertile land. Now the wife of Gu Lihua, the sixth master of the Gu family, was personally chosen by her, Cai's family was born in a small family, she was used to being manipulated, and she didn't have any opinions about doing things, Gu Lihua asked her to send the silver, but she didn't even persuade her, so she went to send it.

However, such a daughter-in-law also has an advantage, that is, she is obedient, she will not do anything against her will, and everything is done according to her wishes. It's just that after giving birth to Brother Sheng, there has been nothing to do, and Feng is not very happy to see Cai.

Lin thought that Gu Yutang might not have slept yet, so he planned to tell Mama Liang to take a look at her, and by the way, Feng brought her peanut candy just now.

"Mama Liang, you go to the east chamber to see the third girl, and then go to the west chamber to see Brother Bai'er, Brother Bai, this bastard boy, I haven't seen anyone all day long, I don't know where he went? Take out the peanut candy in the food box and send it to the third girl and Brother Bai, one for each person. Lin and Feng talked all night, and they were a little tired, so they didn't sit down all of a sudden, and they were crooked on the kang.

Mama Liang was busy waiting for Lin to fall asleep before she dared to say, "Yes, old lady." Why is it only a few days, the old lady actually fell in love with the third girl, and everything was sent to the third girl. ”

Lin didn't answer, so Mama Liang had to go and deliver things first.

After only half an hour, Mama Liang came to the East Chamber, saw that the light was still lit in the room, and thought that Gu Yutang might not have fallen asleep, so she knocked on the door and whispered: "Miss Ahua, is the third girl in the house?" ”

The two people in the room were startled by Mama Liang's sudden voice, thinking that Mrs. Lin asked Mama Liang to check if they were hiding from eating supper. Ah Hua didn't care about eating snacks, and after swallowing the shortbread in his mouth, he dared to shout loudly outside the house: "Mama Liang, the girl has fallen asleep, and the slave is cleaning up her things." ”

Sleeping? How can it be so fast? Just now she saw two figures in the room. But since Ah Hua said that the third girl was asleep, it was inconvenient for her to go in and disturb it, in case she disturbed the third girl's good dream, she couldn't afford this crime.

"The old lady ordered me to send some peanut candy to the girl, since the girl has already slept, then ask Miss Ahua to come out and get it!" Mama Liang looked at the flickering figures in the room and said in a deep voice.

After some discussion between Gu Yutang and Ah Hua in the house, they finally let Ah Hua go out and get the food box that Mama Liang put on the ground.

When Ah Hua took the food box and entered the house, he only heard Gu Yutang complaining again and again, "Grandmother is really, the third watch also asked Mama Liang to deliver something in the middle of the night, so I ate half of the cake just now, so I hurriedly swallowed it, fortunately I didn't choke, otherwise where would the third watch go to ask for a doctor in the middle of the night?"

"It's not that the girl seems to have never eaten snacks, she has been gobbling up, full of a big box of snacks, the slave hasn't eaten much, it's all into the girl's stomach, the girl has to eat less, otherwise she won't be able to get married." Ah Hua was still eating a piece of dim sum in his mouth, and smiled at Gu Yutang
