Chapter 174: Unwilling to Give Up

Shang Ming's masterpiece of agricultural books has already been revised once, and after handing it over to Lin Qingwan to read, he will take it to Mr. Lu for review again, which is considered final.

So these two **** ran very often to the Lin family's courtyard.

Zhao Sheng was very dissatisfied with this, but he was going to leave Suzhou and return to Jiangdu in the near future, so he just reminded Second Mrs. Shang, "Second sister, Mingjie and the Lin family are too close, closer than my own uncle." ”

Mrs. Shang Er smiled and said, "That's just the old lady's order, you are his own uncle, and the Lin family is separated by a layer." But the old lady is still there, in her heart, I am afraid that no one can compare to her granddaughter and kiss her. ”

Zhao Sheng's face was slightly relaxed, and he said: "The second sister makes Mingjie and the family closer, and the brother-in-law and eldest brother have always supported each other in the court, don't let them be disgusted by their juniors." ”

Second Mrs. Shang responded, but she couldn't control Shang Mingjie at all.

One is that he is different now, his idea is very right, no matter what she says, what he should do or how to do it, I don't know what he thinks in his heart;

The second is that the old lady is on his side, and she is willing to see Shang Mingjie and the Lin family close.

Now that the Shang family is still the old lady in charge, how dare she, as a daughter-in-law, oppose what she prefers?

This time, if it weren't for the eldest brother who helped open the door for the Shang family and let the family get involved in the food business, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to leave the Buddhist hall.

But she can't say these words to her mother's family, so she can only whitewash the peace and reassure them.

Zhao Sheng went back to Jiangdu in the illusion of "peace" she created, and Shang Mingjie still ran to the Lin family's courtyard unaffected.

But he's been in a bad mood lately.

Because Cousin Lin didn't want to see him anymore, if it was in the past, even if he pretended to be stupid and miserable, he would have to please her, but this time it was different, Lin Yubin made it clear what he said to him, so that he couldn't do it if he wanted to whitewash the peace.

As Ying Yan said, when she was constantly suffering from the chaos, as early as a year ago, when the Lin family's courtyard was besieged by homeless people, didn't she already make up her mind that she no longer had hope for the marriage of the Shang Lin Lin family?

Although it was uncomfortable, Lin Yubin still decided to make it clear to Shang Mingjie.

If it was before, she might choose to hint, or even in the form of a letter, but under the influence of her aunt, Lin Yubin felt that it was better to make this kind of thing clear in person.

Shang Mingjie didn't like this method at all, because it directly cut off his back road.

At that time, there were only two cousins and sisters in the study, Yingyan and Birong stood outside the door, their ears drooping, and they didn't dare to listen to the words inside.

Shang Mingjie was a little confused when Lin Yubin opened his mouth to express that he would try to have as little contact as possible, he only took the meaning of Lin Yubin's words, and what he had been worried about for a long time still happened.

He wanted to pretend to be stupid, so he smiled, "But where did I make my cousin angry, you tell me, and I can change it." ”

Lin Yubin shook her head, just looking at him and knowing that he understood what she meant, so she lowered her eyes and said, "Second cousin should know what I mean." ”

Shang Mingjie gritted his teeth, "I don't know." ”

"Second cousin, I know that the Shanglin family once mentioned family affairs, but it was not settled at that time," Lin Yubin said in a depressed mood: "At that time, my father was still there, and the two families had not yet decided, let alone later?" ”

"I didn't have the ...... at that time"

"So can you call the shots now?" Lin Yubin looked up and asked him.

Shang Mingjie shook his lips and said, "I, I'm working this." ”

"But second cousin, I can't just think about myself," Lin Yubin's eyes were slightly red, and she saw Shang Mingjie's efforts, so she felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise how could Shang Mingjie, who had been working hard for this, be embarrassed in the future?

She said with tears in her eyes: "The Zhao family and the Lin family have become like this, if I marry back to the Shang family, what will my aunt do?" ”

Shang Mingjie pursed his lips and said: "The Shang family is the Shang family, and the Zhao family is the Zhao family, which is not the same." ”

"It's different in your heart, but what about in your second aunt's heart?" Lin Yubin said softly: "I am my aunt's weakness, and I will not give myself to my opponent." ”

Both of them knew that Lin Yubin really wanted to marry into the Shang family, unless Shang Ping and Zhao Jie fell out, otherwise the Zhao family would indirectly hold Lin Qingwan's lifeline.

Shang Mingjie was silent for a long time, he wanted to say what he said to his grandmother a year ago to his cousin, the Shang family is the Shang family, the Zhao family is the Zhao family, not only the Shang family, but he will not be controlled by the Zhao family.

He will grow to be his own master.

But he couldn't tell.

It was a kind of hope and relief to my grandmother, but it was a burden to my cousin.

He wasn't sure that he would really be able to control his own destiny and give his cousin happiness in the future.

But when she said this, she lost the right to decide to her cousin, if she didn't wait, she would be uneasy in the future, if she waited, maybe he would ruin half of her life.

So even though Shang Mingjie was in pain, he still gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Lin Yubin was also very uncomfortable, she wanted to take back her previous words, but when she thought of her aunt, she bit her mouth and didn't speak.

My aunt was tired enough, and she couldn't make her any more tired.

The two were relatively speechless, silently looking at each other.

Ying Yan and Bi Rong, who stayed at the door, saw that there was no movement in the room, so they couldn't help but listen to their ears, but they couldn't hear any sound, the two looked at each other, Bi Rong asked in a spoken voice, "Nothing will happen, right?" ”

Ying Yan looked worried, hesitating to knock on the door and rush in.

In the house, Shang Mingjie slowly calmed down, got up and saluted Lin Yubin, turned around and strode away.

Lin Yubin sat on the chair and didn't move, watching him leave.

If Shang Mingjie gave up like this, it would be in vain to lose his title of "stubborn", so although he was in a bad mood, he didn't stop thinking about it.

But he didn't go to Lin Yubin again, but went to Lin Qingwan after preparing for a few days, "Aunt Lin, I want to take the Jinshi exam next year." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Good ambition, I wish you the title of the gold list." ”

Shang Mingjie blushed and said, "Aunt Lin, I have a reluctant ......."

"If it's a reluctant request, then don't mention it." Lin Qingwan cut off his words and smiled: "Otherwise, if I refuse you by saying it, wouldn't you be sad?" ”

Shang Mingjie was stunned and understood, Aunt Lin knew what he said.

He didn't expect Aunt Lin to refuse him without even wanting to listen, and his eyes were a little red for a while.

Grandmother rejected him, he could still find a way to fight for it, but Aunt Lin also rejected him, how could he convince her?

Lin Qingwan saw the redness of his eyes, and couldn't help but feel that she was a vicious mother-in-law who beat mandarin ducks.

She touched her nose and coughed uncomfortably and asked, "Are you going to take the exam and tell your family?" ”

Shang Mingjie shook his head, "No, I only told Mr. ”

"And what did your husband say?"

Shang Mingjie's mood was lowered, "Mr. said that it would be better for me to settle for another two years, and I was in a hurry at this time." But I think there are still more than eight months to go before Jinshike, and I continue day and night, hoping that it will always be bigger. ”
