Chapter 090: The Partition Wall Has Ears
As soon as he heard Lin Zhizhi's name, Lin Jiaruo mentioned twelve points of spiritual eavesdropping.
Lin Man let out a "hmm" and asked, "What does my mother think?" ”
Old Madam Lin seemed a little hesitant and a little surprised: "Allure is only ten years old, what are you anxious about?" ”
"Allure is only ten years old, but it is already fifteen years old!" Lin Man said, "Could it be that after he learned about Yuan, no one has beaten his idea?" ”
There seemed to be silence inside.
Lin Jiaruo was confused, who wanted to beat her eldest brother's idea? What's the idea?
"That's right......," Mrs. Lin said slowly, "But your sister-in-law has refused, and fifteen years old is not in a hurry, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law have no plans to marry him." ”
What the? Big brother wants to get married?
Lin Jiaruo was shocked, sure enough, they were going to talk about big things!
"I'm not in a hurry now, it's just that I can't look down on the local ladies in Yuhang, but I have already worshiped under Mr. Mingdao's door, Mr. Mingdao, that's the great Confucian of the world! Not to mention the people in Henan Mansion, they have long been eyeing him, even in Beijing, and some people are paying attention," Lin Man said.
Lin Jiaruo was full of pride when she heard it, she didn't expect that her eldest brother was even more powerful than she imagined, and even the adults in the capital had heard of his reputation......
"I also heard that Mr. Mingdao has a granddaughter who is the same age as Zhizhi......"
Even the eldest brother's master wants to recruit him as his grandson-in-law......
"Mr. Mingdao's own granddaughter?" Old Madam Lin's tone was quite tempting.
"Mother!" Lin Man snorted, "Do you hurt your daughter, do you hurt your granddaughter?" You see that our family is in the city, isn't it as good as Mr. Mingdao's granddaughter? ”
Lin Jiaruo compared it in his heart, although he had never seen Mr. Mingdao's granddaughter, it should not be possible to look better than his cousin in Allure.
Mrs. Lin was busy reassuring her daughter: "Allure is naturally the best, I'm at this age, and I haven't seen a girl who looks better than ours, but" Still hesitant."
"What the hell is my mother hesitating about?" Lin Man was a little impatient, "Or does my mother think that the daughter of the Xia family is not worthy of the eldest son of the Lin family?" ”
Lin Jiaruo covered her mouth in shock.
The eldest aunt is going to marry her cousin to the eldest brother?!
"Of course I don't think I can be more worthy!" Old Madam Lin hurriedly stated her position, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law must attach great importance to the marriage that can be caused, even if I can't cross what they promised you!" Don't you know what kind of person your eldest brother is? Even Alain's marriage was completed by him with a nod! ”
Hearing Mrs. Lin say this, Lin Man's tone of voice brought a smile: "You go and say it, the eldest brother can not think about it too much, besides, the eldest brother, your son-in-law also has to say it in person." ”
"That's what the son-in-law means?" Old Madam Lin was a little surprised.
"That's nature!" Lin Man said with a smile, "This is all his idea, as soon as the news of Zhizhong Zhiyuan arrived, he urged me to come back, for fear that his son-in-law would be robbed, otherwise Allure is only ten years old, and I haven't thought about it yet!" ”
The topic began to talk about the eldest uncle Xia Yu, Lin Jiaruo listened to a few more words, felt bored, and quietly slipped out.
Thrush and Finch were still waiting for her, neither of them was talkative, and did not say a word about her actions, but silently stepped forward to dust off her body and put on her coat.
As soon as I cleaned up, I turned around and saw Gan coming this way.
Seeing Lin Jiaruo here, Gan was a little surprised: "Why is Ah Ruo here?" ”
This side is the east side of Ciyin Hall, and the big house is in this direction, but Jiqiuyuan is on the west side.
Lin Jiaruo bent her eyes, raised the prayer slip in her hand and shook it, and said cutely: "I picked this up, it seems to be for my aunt, and I was about to take it to Qingwanju!" "Qingwanju is also in the east.
Gan smiled and said, "Your eldest aunt is in Ciyin Hall!" I'm about to go over, can I bring it for you? ”
"Then please aunt!" Lin Jiaruo gave the greeting note to Gan and went back happily.
As soon as he returned to Jiqiu Courtyard, Lin Jiaruo rushed into Xu Yaoning's room with a serious face, and drove the maids out without saying anything, and then his face was full of anxiety, and he didn't forget to say to Xu Yaoning in a low voice: "The eldest aunt is going to marry the eldest brother to the eldest brother!" ”
Xu Yaoning was stunned.
She knew about this matter, Lin Man went south this time, firstly, for the rebuilding of the Xia family's ancestral hall, and secondly, for the marriage of Lin Zhizhi and Xia Qingcheng.
But
"How do you know?"
This marriage will not be finalized until next year, even if Lin Man instigates Mrs. Lin to be a lobbyist, Gan's will not let go, Lin Zhizhi's marriage, his father did not speak, no one can be the master, and no one in the family here will talk about this matter!
Lin Jiaruo hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to admit: "I eavesdropped!" ”
Xu Yaoning didn't believe it: "How did you eavesdrop?" ”
"I saw the eldest maid standing next to the eldest aunt in the courtyard outside the door, and guessed that when the eldest aunt and grandmother were talking, they drove the maids and grandmothers into the courtyard, and they should not dare to walk around casually, so they entered the small Buddha hall at the back......" Lin Jiaruo explained the eavesdropping process in detail.
Xu Yaoning's face was full of incredulity when she heard it: "Are you so bold now? What if someone finds out? ”
Lin Jiaruo said disappreciably: "There is usually no one in the small Buddha hall, even if someone finds out and is caught, it is a big deal to be scolded, Mingcong's cousin was beaten when he ran away, but he said that adults are just to scare and scare people, and they will not really be beaten to death, I think, I am a girl, I will not be beaten, that is, I will be scolded, no matter how great it is, I will be locked up and copy books, anyway, I practice calligraphy every day......"
Xu Yaoning was dumbfounded, and it took a while to find her voice: "Gan Mingcong taught you?" ”
Lin Jiaruo thought for a while and said, "It's not a teaching, Cousin Mingcong said that his new master is very strict, and if he wants to go out to play, he has to fight wits and courage with his master, so he analyzed with me in the letter the experience of success and failure of each escape......
The corners of Xu Yaoning's forehead jumped straight: "Don't communicate with Gan Mingcong in the future!" ”
Lin Jiaruo calmly "oh", and said indifferently: "Cousin Mingcong was taken to a mountain by his master to do penance in the summer, and he couldn't communicate for a long time" Suddenly found that the topic was taken crookedly, and hurriedly turned back, "Mother, let me tell you that the eldest aunt is going to marry Cousin Allure to the eldest brother!" ”
Xu Yaoning was in a bad mood stimulated by Gan Mingcong's letter, and glared at her: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Xia Chengcheng is as his name, when he grows up, he is really a stunning beauty who captivates the country and the city, Lin Zhizhi is a combination of young talents, talented and beautiful women, in her past and present lives, she can't find anything wrong with this marriage.
Speaking of which, Xia Chengcheng suffered a little bit, Lin Zhizhi died before she could finish it, fortunately, the beauty did not lack peach blossoms, so the marriage was not delayed.
