Chapter 10: The Past

Different from the high-minded talk at the outside table, the wine is happy. The inner seat seems to be peaceful and tranquil, but in fact, it is turbulent.

The ladies chatted about the recent gossip while drinking, which were all ordinary household words on the surface, but in fact, there was a dark tide surging in secret, and if they didn't pay attention to it, it was just a sentence or two of comparison and flattery.

"Mrs. Li is really blessed, General Li has just returned from a victory, and he is very worthy of the Holy Master!"

It was Wang Shangshu's wife who spoke, and she was told by Wang Shangshu early in the morning that the Li family is now receiving holy grace and must have a good relationship with the Li family's wife.

As soon as she finished speaking, a few more echoes came from beside her.

"Yes, yes, now General Li is a celebrity in front of the saint!"

"Mrs. Li is really blessed, the general and you have a deep affection, and the children are now dragons and phoenixes among people."

"I just looked at the youngest daughter of the Li family, who was very innocent and ......."

There was a lot of gossip during the banquet, and the originally peaceful scene was a little out of control for a while.

They went from chatting about the short gossip of the family, and suddenly the topic turned to the Li family, and it was all deliberately flattering.

Mrs. Li is most afraid of encountering this kind of social trouble, but now she is flattered by this group of people, intentionally or unintentionally, and she only feels that her head hurts even more.

She pinched her eyebrows and pulled out a fake smile, "Your ladies have won the award, since our master is a military general, it is his responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, and it is the blessing of our Li family to be appreciated by His Majesty!" ”

She picked up the wine and raised it in front of everyone, just wanting to end the topic quickly, "Today is the birthday of my little girl, so let's not talk about those big men, let's drink this cup together." ”

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she took the lead in raising her hand and raising her head to drink the wine, without giving those ladies room to speak.

When everyone saw it, they had to take up the wine and drink it all.

She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief and turned to the side to say something to the Jiang clan when she was interrupted again.

Mrs. Wang was unrelenting, with a flattering smile on her face, and flattered Mrs. Li: "I don't know if Miss Li has a marriage match now?" ”

Jiang and Mrs. Li glanced at each other, saw the impatience in her eyes, and gave her a reassuring look.

Mrs. Li sighed in her heart, turned around and put on the fake smile just now: "Not yet." ”

"That's a coincidence!" Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, but she didn't pay attention to the gradually stiffened corners of Mrs. Li's mouth, and began to recommend herself: "I have a nephew, who is seventeen years old, and he is also very handsome. Sister Li, if you think it's appropriate, I'll show you another day, what do you think? ”

What's that?

Mrs. Li almost burst into foul language, this sycophancy flattered her and began to climb the relationship from the kite again?

At the moment, I felt unhappy for a while, but I couldn't get angry directly in front of so many people, after all, Wang Shangshu also had some status in the court.

Mrs. Li forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and secretly rolled her eyes at the air on the side.

"Mrs. Wang, my little daughter is still young, and my general and I still want to keep her for a few more years, as for the matter of choosing a son-in-law.......

Mrs. Wang waited for Mrs. Li's next step, but saw her pour a glass of wine, and there was a bit of intimidation in her eyes, "In the matter of choosing a son-in-law in the future, we still have to look at her own will, and we must find someone who suits her heart." ”

Mrs. Li finished speaking, and glanced at Mrs. Wang. Seeing that she looked hesitant and didn't speak, she pursed her lips at the Jiang clan and drank the wine she had just poured.

When she put down the cup, she saw that Jiang gave her a thumbs up, and she couldn't help but feel a little better.

However, there are always people who are not interested.

It's not that Mrs. Wang didn't hear the meaning of Mrs. Li's words, but when she went out this morning, she was repeatedly told by Wang Shangshu, she hesitated for a long time, but still said the question in her heart: "However, since ancient times, it has been the order of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker concubine, how can she choose according to her own heart?" There is no such reason for this since ancient times. ”

Mrs. Li's fists are hard, if it weren't for so many people here, she would definitely reply to her with a sentence of "It's about your shit", but now this kind of scene is not good, she has to endure it, even if the other side is a fool who can't understand people's eyes.

She was about to open her mouth to refute, but was preempted by the person next to her.

"Mrs. Wang, I have a somewhat different opinion on what you say."

After listening to it for a long time, Jiang couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but open his mouth to relieve Mrs. Li.

"I don't know what you think, but I've always felt that we don't want our children to be rich and rich, we just want them to be happy and happy in this life."

"It's our parents' business to arrange the marriage for them, but if this person is not what they think, it is their life's business."

Jiang looked at Mrs. Wang, hoping that she would understand what he was saying.

There were other ladies in the audience who knew about the Jiang family, and asked at the moment: "Second Mrs. Lin, speaking of which, your daughter's daughter was also a good story with the new branch list at that time, is there a reason for what you just said?" ”

Mrs. Li didn't know the story, so she raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and looked at the Jiang family.

Seeing that she lowered her eyes, with a little longing in her eyes, her words were indescribably helpless.

At that time, Shen Qifu was a model of righteousness, and even Lin Qingfeng praised him as a talent at that time.

The young man is high-spirited and talented, the girl is innocent and exquisite, and the two fell in love at first sight.

But Lin Luoyan didn't know at that time that Lin Qingyun and the Jiang family had already selected Lang Jun for her, and they were waiting for the day to be hired.

Soon, Shen Qifu was assigned to Yuezhou as the governor of the state, and he was going to leave in a month.

The two discussed, and Shen was full of enthusiasm and disregard, and the day after knowing that he was going to Yuezhou, he proposed to the Lin family.

The thoughts of the children between the two were punctured in front of everyone. But it's too late.

The Zhang family had already made a post, and at that time, the Jiang family and Lin Qingyun knew that Shen was going to Yuezhou, and it was impossible to marry Lin Luoyan to him.

Lin Luoyan had never even seen the face of that son, and immediately bluntly said that Shen Qifu would not marry. Shut himself in the house for more than half a month, without eating or drinking.

Shen Qifu returned to the Shen family in despair, and since then he has been ill.

Jiang will never forget that afternoon, she couldn't help but pry open Lin Luoyan's door and saw her sitting in front of the window with a piece of paper in her hand.

I don't know how Shen Qifu sent it in, and there are a few lines written on it: Shen will not marry in this life, but he will bear the emperor's order, you and I have a deep relationship, but I hope that you will be safe for the rest of your life, and Shen is enough.

Lin Luoyan's eyes were hollow, staring at the paper without blinking, and he had not entered a drop of water for many days, and his original ruddy complexion was gray and lifeless at this time.

Jiang hugged her and cried, no matter how he called her, there was no response.

When Lin Qingyun saw this scene, he immediately sent someone to inquire about Shen Qifu's situation, but learned that he couldn't afford to be sick and vomited blood a few days ago.

The two were about to die in this different way.

They finally relented, found the Zhang family to apologize, returned the dowry and posted a shop, and also paid Lin Qingfeng's favor by the way.

The Lin family's resignation caused a storm around at that time.

If you ask the Jiang family if they are willing to get it, they are naturally reluctant to get it.

When she thought of Lin Luoyan leaving home thousands of miles after that, she couldn't help crying.

But when she saw that her daughter was dressed in a wedding dress, which was completely different from her previous lifeless appearance, and she was amused by Shen Qifu to laugh wantonly, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of wantonness, she felt that all this was worth it.

Just like half a year ago, the little couple took leave to come back to see them, and brought back a big fat grandson.

She could see at a glance that Shen Qifu was very good to her, everything went well, and Lin Luoyan was even used to having a little temper.

Compared with Lin Luoyan's depressed life, she would rather see her daughter's happy appearance.

During the banquet, some people empathized and couldn't help crying.

"I don't know, there is such a reason." Mrs. Wang sighed in her heart and stopped talking at the moment.

Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and Mrs. Li patted her on the back in turn, as if comforting, she restrained her excess emotions and showed an unhindered smile to Mrs. Li.

"Peiwen, what you said really goes to my heart, my daughter, I just want her to be happy."

Jiang smiled and shook her head, fortunately she didn't understand it too late.

A group of people also lost the undercurrent at the beginning, they were all talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was a lot more cheerful for a while.

Mrs. Li and the Jiang family had a very happy conversation, and in a blink of an eye, most of the banquet had passed, and Lin Wangshu had not yet returned to Li Kite.

Mrs. Li was a little worried for a while, after all, it was Li Kite's birthday, and she, the protagonist, ran out without a sound for so long to inevitably fall into her mouth, and then whispered to the maid on the side to find the two back.
