Xiao Wu's maiden family, Wujia, is located in Yanzhou, which is not far from Fuzhou, only one day away.

After receiving the letter from Xiao Wushi, Master Wu immediately took his son Wu Qiyu and cousin Wu Qifan to Fuzhou.

When the uncle came, Steward Lin naturally received him warmly, the Lin family had a big business, in addition to the Lin family's mansion, there were several courtyards. Steward Lin solicited the opinion of the Xiao Wu clan and temporarily settled the three of them in the Pinzhu Courtyard, which was only a few dozen meters away from the Lin family's mansion.

That night, the eldest lord Lin Dongya, the eldest wife Xiao Wu, and the second lord Lin Donghai and the second wife Yuan set up a banquet in the Lin family's mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust for the third master Wu and his party, and the scene was once happy.

Lin Dongya has been addicted to alcohol in recent years, and he has long ignored all the big and small things in the family, but no matter what Master Wusan says, he is also his eldest brother, and he is very rare to attend this family banquet because of his feelings.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Master Wusan explained his intention: "Brother-in-law, I came this time for the marriage of Qi Yu and Qi Fan's brothers. “

Lin Dongya was already prepared in his heart.

Xiao Wushi had mentioned this matter to him before, and he had no objections in his heart.

After all, the Lin and Wu families are in-laws, and they move around frequently, and the Wu family is a scholarly family, so it is not a grievance for their daughter to marry in the past.

What's more, Wu Qiyu not only looks talented, but also has a very good character, and was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and his future prospects are limitless.

It's just that what's going on with this Wu Qifan......

Seeing Lin Dongya's eyes flickering, the third master of Wu quickly explained: "Qifan is the son of my eldest brother and the second son of the Wu family. My eldest brother passed away due to illness the year before last, and my sister-in-law was overly sad and is still sick in bed and unable to get off the floor. Therefore, I will be in charge of Zhang Luo's marriage. “

Lin Dongya glanced at Wu Qifan again.

Although this Wu Qifan is Wu Qiyu's cousin, the gap between the two is too big.

Wu Qiyu's face is like a crown jade, very handsome and chic, but this Wu Qifan is a roe deer, with a lewd face.

Lin Dongya was a little displeased.

Wu Qifan seemed to see Lin Dongya's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Uncle, I toast you." I know that the daughters of the Lin family are all expensive, and I came to ask to marry the daughter of the Lin family, which is indeed a little overwhelmed. I am the second son, I can't inherit much family property, and in terms of reading, I am not as competitive as Qi Yu. However, I am willing to go to the Lin family as a son-in-law to fulfill my filial piety. ”

Xiao Wu's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Are you willing to go to the Lin family to be a son-in-law?" You are the sister-in-law of the big house, and your mother is willing to do it? ”

Wu Qifan lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, of course I do." I'm a person, in terms of appearance, if I am not outstanding, in terms of talent, I can't do it. However, I have only one virtue, and that is filial piety. ”

Master Wusan interjected: "Indeed, my eldest brother was served by his sail before leaving, and that is called a meticulous person." If it weren't for the eldest brother, why wouldn't his sail have been married until now? ”

The second wife, Yuan, asked, "How old is the second young master of Wu this year?" ”

Master Wu San replied, "I just passed my eighteenth birthday. ”

Yuan smiled: "That'...... The eldest girl in our family is Siniang......"

Xiao Wu's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Yuan with displeasure.

Wu Qifan hurriedly said: "The second aunt said that she laughed, on my terms, how dare you ask to marry the daughter of the Lin family?" ”

Yuan also said casually, although she didn't look down on Wu Qifan's servile appearance, but her two daughters were married, so naturally there was nothing to be afraid of.

Lin Dongya likes Wu Qifan's temperament very much.

Lin Dongya has been an invisible person in the Lin family for many years, and although the subordinates say that they are respectful to him on the surface, when they mention him behind their backs, they always have a contempt that cannot be hidden.

And his wife Xiao Wushi is also angry with him, as long as the husband and wife meet, they will either quarrel or be indifferent to each other and do not say a word.

Not to mention children.

In Lin Dongya's opinion, the eldest son Lin Zhilan didn't take him seriously at all, and he wouldn't ask him a word when he did anything, and of course, he wouldn't do what he wanted if he asked.

The rest of the children are similar, and they don't have anything to say when they see him, they are all perfunctory and superficial.

Although Wu Qifan is not good-looking, his eagerness for Lin Dongya makes Lin Dongya very useful.

As a result, Lin Dongya's face towards Wu Qifan gradually softened.

Xiao Wu said: "If you talk about concubines, the one who is the same age as the second young master Wu is Liuniang." ”

Yuan smiled but did not speak.

Lin Donghai was a little hesitant and said: "After all, the second young master of Wu is the concubine of the Wu family's big house, I am a concubine, and Liuniang is my concubine, I am afraid that this identity is a little incompatible......"

As soon as Lin Donghai's words came out, Xiao Wu's heart moved.

Now the concubine of the big house is the only one Lin Jiuniang.

Thinking so, she looked at Lin Dongya, but Lin Dongya looked at Wu Qiyu and said, "Qiyu, what do you think?" ”

Wu Qiyu slowly stood up and said: "As the saying goes, marriage matters all depend on the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. However, I think that in addition to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, it is also very important for the two to be happy. So, it's too early to say anything. If my uncle and aunt don't mind, can you give me and my second brother a little time so that I can spend some time with my sisters? Of course, we will be respectful. ”

Xiao Wushi was a little worried, compared to Lin Liuniang in the second room, Lin Wuniang and Lin Qiniang were a little inferior.

What if Wu Qiyu and Lin Liuniang meet each other?

It can be seen that Wu Qiyu is a person with ideas, what if the third brother can't control him?

Xiao Wushi gave Master Wu San a look, but Master Wu San nodded at her calmly, and secretly waved his hand, signaling her not to speak.

Xiao Wushi swallowed back the words from his mouth.

Lin Dongya saw that no one else spoke, so he spoke: "It's okay like this, after all, you are also cousins, and it's good to have more contact." However, Qi Yu, Qi Fan, there is someone you don't want to see. ”

Wu Qiyu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Uncle, who are you talking about?" ”

Lin Dongya said with disgust: "The one who ranks ninth in the family." ”

Wu Qiyu said "oh" and said, "You mean the ninth sister?" Miss Nine who has just been engaged to the prince of the Marquis of Zhongyong? ”

Lin Dongya leaned back, stretched out his hand, and waved exaggeratedly: "In my opinion, our Lin family doesn't have Miss Nine, and I don't have this daughter." I'm kind enough to remind you not to provoke her. She is Lin Zhilan's heart, if you move her, Lin Zhilan will be with you. ”

Wu Qifan became interested, and his eyes lit up.

Wu Qifan came to the Lin family for the first time and had never seen Lin Jiuniang.

But he has heard a lot of rumors about Lin Jiuniang.

And Wu Qiyu came to the Lin family with Master Wusan three years ago, and also met Lin Siniang, Lin Wuniang and Lin Qiniang.

Actually, he has also seen Lin Jiuniang.

He once passed by the Yixin Courtyard, and there was a tall locust tree in the courtyard, which was much higher than the courtyard wall.

At that time, he was surprised to find a girl sitting in the tree.

The girl sat comfortably on the tree, holding a bag of candied fruit in her hand, eating as if no one was around.

Wu Qiyu had never seen such a girl.
