Chapter 90: Self-Knowledge
When Lin Wu got out of the car, his eyes had turned into walnuts, Zhou frowned, Lin Qi ran forward and pulled Lin Wu to look at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, what's wrong with the fifth sister?" What's so sad? It's a big smell of alcohol, you can't be drunk, right? ”
Zhou's color was vigorous, Lin Wu's mood was so low and fragile that he couldn't help crying again, Lin Jinyin smiled at the right time: "The fifth sister's eyes are uncomfortable, take her back to take a look." ”
The Zhou family also took advantage of the situation to pull Lin Wu and went inside first.
Lin Qi and Lin Liu glanced at each other, their faces full of joy and pride.
At night, when Tao finished washing and combing his hair on the mirror table, Gong's mother whispered: "Madam, today I heard the eldest lady talk about the marriage of our four girls, the old slave has an idea, I wonder if my wife is willing to listen to it?" ”
Tao glanced at Gong's mother and said lightly, "I know what you're thinking, but I think it's unlikely." ”
Mother Gong hurriedly said, "How is it impossible? There is a relationship between my uncle and his wife, the two families are comparable, and they are world friends, our four girls are both talented and beautiful, smart and capable, I dare not say that I am the first among the girls of the same age in Pingzhou, and I will not miss the top three. The old slave looked at Mrs. Gu probably had some kind of meaning in it, and if Mrs. didn't start earlier, I was afraid that she would regret it. ”
"You think I didn't think about it?" Tao sighed: "The families of Lin and Wu are compatible, but Wu Xiang is different. He is not young, he has never heard his family mention his family affairs, nor has he heard his uncle and wife say that he is afraid that he has high ambitions and wants to keep the title of the gold list in the future "Unless the Wu family speaks by themselves, let's not humiliate ourselves." ”
"It's a shame." Gong's mother was quite regretful. In addition to paying attention to money, the choice of a son-in-law is still a great thing, there is a way, no one asks about ten years of hard work, once you become famous, the world will know. Countless high-ranking officials and nobles are proud of their daughters being able to marry into scholars, so they do not hesitate to seduce and coerce them, and stage a list to catch their sons-in-law. With Wu Xiang's talent and age, when the title of the gold list was titled, he did not worry about finding a good marriage, and since then he has soared to the top. Compared with the two sides, the Lin family, which has become stubborn, is not a good choice.
Tao went to bed and lay down: "There are many good people, Ayin told me that day, Nan Nan is too assertive, and she has to find a generous family to accommodate her." Be cautious and young, don't be in a hurry, just visit slowly. ”
"Yes." Gong's mother smiled: "This person is self-aware, Mrs. Gu doesn't know, she thinks she is sorry, and the old slave is waiting to see her touch the ash of her nose." ”
Tao also gloated and laughed: "I'll wait and see" Look at her crazy appearance, she looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, I really can't stand it. ”
Lin Jinrong didn't know about this conversation. She is calmly analyzing the development of events. Now that Lin Yuzhen and Luo have formed a tacit understanding, as long as there are no accidents and continue to develop according to this trend, she will be safe. Although it is safe for the time being, it cannot be idle, and it is necessary to continue to plan when it is time to plan.
Wu Xiang in her previous life, at least before her death, had never made a marriage contract with anyone, "even after being admitted to the Jinshi." She didn't know what the specific reason was, but in her impression, Wu Xiang was very good, and she was treated well, and the Yang family was also generous. The most important thing is that the Wu family's attitude towards making money in private business is similar to that of the Tao family, and every year in the private field in Qingzhou, there is no shortage of business in the open and secret, "This has a significant higher financial and material resources than the Lin family." If she can enter the door of the Wu family, she will have an easier life.
Compared with the kind of marriage that doesn't know who the other party is or what the family's character and behavior are, the Wu family's family business is still worth fighting for. Even if in the end, she and Wu Xiang can't get together like in their previous life, she should try. After trying, there is no way, "I regret it if I don't try."
Lin Jinrong looked at the dissolved moonlight outside the window, and his mood was extremely flat. She knew what she wanted, and she knew what she had to fight for. The word love is too illusory, not everyone has that good luck, it's better to firmly grasp what you can grasp, and be kind to yourself"
It's more practical to live well.
In the west of Pingzhou City, there is a deep alley, on both sides is a zhang high blue brick wall, the wall is green like a cover, along the alley to the end, is the gate of the Wu family. On weekdays, this alley is always quiet, except for the descendants and children of the Wu family, there are basically no people in and out. But this day is unprecedentedly lively, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the road is full of traffic~ Xie Yuan of Taiming Mansion is out of Pingzhou, which makes the scholars of Pingzhou have honor, and all those who have old things with the Wu family and can climb up must come to celebrate.
Compared with Lin Yuzhen's madness yesterday, Yang's attitude seems to be very calm, happy but not in vain, humble but not excessive. Tao looked down on Yang's attitude, and whispered to Lin Jinrong: "Do you see it, this is the cultivation that a real scholarly family should have." Look at your aunt's crazy look, it's disgusting. ”
Lin Jinrong didn't fully agree: "My aunt was ecstatic because she had too much hope earlier, and at the same time she wanted to tell others that her second cousin's success was inseparable from her hard work, and she had to be happier than Mrs. Lu San; Aunt Wu is different, since she was a child, the second brother Wu has been famous for this Yang, and the friend of the first prodigy in Pingzhou has her head on her head, and it is normal to pass the test, but it is rare to fail the test, so she can't be too happy. ”
Tao glanced at Lin Jinrong strangely, thought about it carefully, and sure enough, he patted her hand happily and said in a low voice: "You girl has really grown up, and she can think of this." ”
Lin Jinrong didn't realize the difference when he said this, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he was also deep and transparent unconsciously, and couldn't help but chuckle out loud, happily took the wine jug, and poured himself and Tao a glass of lychee wine: "It's a pity that the third sister couldn't go out with us today, otherwise she loves this wine the most." "She didn't make it to the guest that year.
Lychee wine is expensive, and it is rare for the Lin family to drink it on weekdays. Tao Shi was a little ashamed and distressed when he heard his daughter's words, thought about it, and comforted himself: "Don't be afraid, when your sister marries in Qingzhou, you can drink as much as you want." ”
can really comfort himself, Lin Jinrong couldn't help laughing: "Yes." ”
With a glance of Tao's eyes, he saw Lin Yuzhen, who was holding Lu Yun's hand tightly not far away, talking endlessly with Yang's eyebrows, so he put the lychee wine behind, pouted at Gong's mother, and whispered: "You said she would open today.?" Mother dung shook her head: "No." In the end, she is the daughter of a scholarly family and an official's wife, who has seen the world, how can she be so rash? My wife can't see it if she wants to watch the play today. ”
Dow smiled: "Sooner or later, I'll wait." Over there, Lu Yun found Tao and the others, so he took off Lin Yuzhen's hand, walked over with a smile, greeted everyone, sat next to Lin Jinrong, and whispered: "Fourth sister, have you ever seen Second Brother Wu?" ”
Lin Jinrong was stunned, and then shook his head: "No." I got off the car at the second gate and went directly into the inner courtyard, how could I meet him? ”
Lu Yun said: "That's a pity. Before my brother was going to Taiming Mansion, he went to my house and asked you, saying that he wanted to compare with you. I thought he would test you with you when he saw you today, but now it seems that I have no ears. ”
I had seen Lu Yun a few times earlier, but I had never heard her talk about it, but today she remembered it. Lin Jinrong smiled indifferently and said unceremoniously: "It's rare that Cousin Yun will have such a stupid time, Second Brother Wu is too late to greet guests and salute in front, how can he have the leisure to come and try to play with me?" ”
"Heh......" Lu Yun smiled awkwardly, was silent for a moment, and raised his eyebrows at Lin Jinrong and said: "I have also learned to blow the horn, but I am not good at learning, and I will ask the fourth sister for advice another day." ”
"Well said." Lin Jinrong replied to this sentence and ignored her, buried his head and poured himself another glass of lychee wine.
Over there, Lin Yuzhen finally finished talking to the Yang family, and was pulled over by a group of women to congratulate, Tao took the time to go to the Yang family's wine, and after congratulating him, he said that he was going to Qingzhou, and asked euphemistically what the arrangements of the Wu family were, if their family had something and people to go, she could help them bring it over.
Yang was extremely happy when he heard this: "It's really good! It just so happens that I ask you to watch Wu Xiang for me, I'm not at ease. Originally, the Wu family sent their eldest son to celebrate the Wu family's birthday, but Wu Xiang said that he had just passed the big exam and was too hard, so it was better to hand over this errand to him, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to relax and increase his knowledge. He has always been favored, and this is not too much to ask, how can his eldest brother fight with him? But Qingzhou is not as good as Pingzhou, close to Darong, the people are fierce, all kinds of people and other components are complex, Wu Xiang is a peaceful and light person on the surface, but in fact he is unruly and unruly, Yang is worried that the old steward who accompanied him can not suppress Wu Xiang's temperament, at this moment there is Tao willing to help bring people away, that is the best.
With such an opportunity to repay the favor, Tao attaches great importance to it, and promises to take good care of Wu Xiang for the Yang family and not let him lose a single hair.
The Yang family had to pull her to say a good break, asked about Lin Jinyin's situation, and praised Lin Jinrong again, and the two sides agreed on the day of departure before parting.
In this process, Lin Yuzhen frequently looked back, Tao is an unconscious character, he thinks he has seen through her mind, he has to deliberately show her, greet her proudly, return to the seat and say to Lin Jinrong: "Go back and pack your things, and leave the day after tomorrow." ”
Lin Jinrong saw that she and the Yang family were talking and laughing, and knew that someone from the Wu family would go, so he said casually: "Who is going?" ”
Tao glanced at Lu Yun: "Your second brother Wu goes." Your aunt of the Wu family just asked me to take good care of him for her, so as not to let him run around. ”
Lu Yun quickly raised his head and looked at Tao: "Third uncle, where are you going?" ”
Tao smiled maliciously: "We are going to Cheongju to celebrate the birthday of your fourth sister's aunt, that is, your second brother Wu's aunt." ”
Lu Yun glanced at Lin Jinrong silently, and quickly lowered his eyes.
