Chapter 19: Half-truths and half-truths
Actions speak louder than words.
As for talking to Xu Jian about the scene, can you win fifty-fifty points......
Lin Yunyan pondered, with her grandmother's character of being kind to others in everything, she definitely didn't dare to make such a big idea.
Worried that his mother had been thinking about Yun Yan's "drastic", Lin Xun took the initiative to ask Xiao Duan: "Have you decided on a candidate to come forward?" ”
"It's decided," Xiao Duan said, "Mama Ruan's niece and son-in-law, named Gao An, are doing business in Tong County, and I asked Mama Ruan to call him into Beijing." ”
Tong County is in the south of the capital, because it is a big county before entering Beijing, the commercial market is also very lively.
With the distance between the two places, Gao An will be able to arrive in Beijing at the latest the day after tomorrow.
"It's good to be born," Lin Xun said, "In the Yamen, it's still the Jingdong family first." ”
Compared with Gao An, Jing Dafeng is a real foreigner, and it is common to guess his backer.
"Speaking of which," Xiao Duan asked, "How did Yun Yan know about the relationship between the Jing Dong family and the Duke of Fuguo?" ”
Lin Yunyan blinked.
Of course, you can't tell the truth, and saying it can scare Xiao Duan to death.
Nonsense, she is ready, still half-truth: "The late Duchess of Lao Guo had a good personal relationship with Concubine Wen, have you heard of this?" ”
Xiao Duan's good memories and sighed: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly, it seems that there is such a rumor." ”
The truth was said, Lin Yunyan adulterated it: "When the horse was hanging, the queen mother wanted to add sesame oil money to several temples, and she was afraid that the people in the palace would do things and move the people, Concubine Wen also said that her identity was here, and her every move could not be like ordinary people, she heard the old Duchess mention that the two couples had a good friend who did business in Yuhang, and they donated to the temple, known as Jing Dashanren......"
Xiao Duan's head nodded again and again when he heard this: "Our uncle's mansion must be cautious, and the nobles in the palace are even more so." ”
She just asked curiously, not with the intention of questioning, Lin Yunyan could answer a few decent words casually, which was enough to deal with.
"When Gao An arrives, let Chen Gui lead him to see Jing Dong's family," Xiao Duan's family explained to Lin Xun, "According to the previous calculation, the silver on the account is almost enough, and I am really relieved that I don't need to move Yunjing's marriage." ”
Lin Xun echoed: "That's what I thought when I got the paperwork. ”
The mother and son chatted a few more words, and Lin Yunyan sat aside, only eating snacks and not talking.
Xiao Duan's eyes moved, and after sending Lin Xun away, he asked her in a low voice, "Yun Yan has something to say?" ”
"Although I don't want to move the eldest sister's marriage," Lin Yunyan said bluntly, "I suggest you wait a little longer, don't get married within the year." ”
Xiao Duan's breath tightened, and he immediately thought of the inside story that the two of them had discussed before.
The saint is afraid that he has the heart to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!
On this matter, Xiao Duan's family had already talked to Lin Yu a few days ago.
As a sincere uncle, even if he does not hold an important position in the court, he must feel better than others in the family when he walks outside.
However, Lin Yu did not feel any wind and grass.
Having said that, the mother and son did not doubt the news that Lin Yunyan brought back.
After all, the one who can best understand the heart of the saint, in addition to the imperial study, is Cining Palace.
How can a foreign minister like them be more sensitive than the queen mother?
"You mean, the Holy One may do it within the year?" Xiao Duan asked in a suppressed voice.
"I thought that it wouldn't be so fast, but now I look at what Fu Guogong means......" Lin Yunyan leaned over and almost whispered in Xiao Duan's ear, "You say, why did Grandpa Guo do honest business and let Jing Dafeng come forward?"
Can he be short of money? He lacks money on the books!
He went in and out of the imperial study a while ago, and he might have seen something.
Chen Gui did honest trading, how many times did he run back and forth, and how many accounts did he calculate?
Grandpa Guo is wealthy, Jing Dafeng went directly to the yamen and opened his mouth, which shows that he is also anxious. ”
Xiao Duan gasped.
That's it!
There is such a lone seedling in the Fuguo Mansion, and now he is injured and his legs and feet are inconvenient, and the dictionaries are handed over to be an idle magnate, and the saint is looking for fat chickens, and it is said that he should not be found, there is no need for this.
It's just that even such a "safe" auxiliary prince has to avoid the limelight......
"You're right," Xiao Duan bowed, "and we'll have to wait and see what happens to the Xuguo Mansion." ”
I made up my mind in my heart, and when the Duchess Xu Guo came to the door the next day, Xiao Duan's thousands of words were reluctant.
"Yun Jing is a filial child, after her father left, she relied on her to support her mother, and the relationship between mother and daughter is very deep."
"She is the eldest sister, and she has been a role model for her sisters since she was a child, and their sisters get along very well."
"I want to think about it, or I want to keep my children at home for Chinese New Year's Eve, and wait for the spring of next year to get married."
Duchess Xu Guo was quite surprised.
It was clear that he was sincere and wanted to do a happy event earlier, why did he suddenly postpone it?
Is there something going to happen in the marriage?
As soon as the thought came to mind, Duchess Xu Guo herself rejected it first.
The two families have already changed posts, and it is certain that the sincerity of the Bofu is not such a shameless and skinless family, and they will never act recklessly.
Besides, Lin Yunjing is married highly, and this family business is yellow, where can she find another one that is equally good?
Duchess Xu didn't mean to belittle Lin Yunjing, if she really didn't like it or looked down on her, how could she choose her as her daughter-in-law?
What she values is the harmonious and good family style of the Lin family and Lin Yunjing's upright and quiet temperament, which are much more important than what is produced by the concubine and the concubine.
The third son of his own family is too jumpy, and his behavior is a headache, so he has to have such a stable daughter-in-law to take care of him!
Then again, if it weren't for someone who felt so sorry for the girl, how could they develop such a temperament?
The two families want to get married, and Duchess Xu Guo will not wipe Xiao Duan's face: "What you said said, my eyes were sour when I heard it."
Marrying a girl and marrying a daughter-in-law must be in a different mood in the family.
Then according to your wishes, let's choose a good day after the spring of the next year, the flowers are blooming, and the weather is warmer.
The eldest girl is so loved in the house, and when she passes the door, we won't let her be wronged, you put a hundred hearts! ”
"I'm sure I'm not at ease," Xiao Duan laughed, "marrying the mansion is to believe that you treat us well Yun Jing." ”
In Qingpu Courtyard, the Huang family was anxiously waiting for news.
Hearing that Duchess Xu Guo had returned, the Huang family came to Zaishouyuan and asked Xiao Duan about the wedding date.
"After a year," Xiao Duan held her hand and said, "You have worked too hard all these years, you mother and daughter will spend the New Year together." ”
Huang's smile almost froze on his face.
A few times ago, she felt that something was wrong, and now she was sitting down.
"Is it really to let Yun Jing stay at home for a few more months?" Huang didn't hold back and asked, "Old lady, there is nothing wrong with this marriage, right?" ”
"Where?" Xiao Duan said, "We are really married, and the Duke of Xu Guo is also sincerely asking to marry, what can be the problem?" Don't be cranky, and don't scare Yun Jing. ”
The old lady had already said this, and Huang had no further questions, so he had to get up and leave.
It was Qingyan who sent her away.
When he went down the steps, Huang stumbled a little, thanks to Mama Hong's quick eyes.
waited for someone to stand firm, and Qingyan came to help her in hindsight.
Huang glanced at her, puzzled and puzzled: Why is this maid more absent-minded than herself?
