Chapter 12: The Eyes Under the Black Silk
Lin Yu lifted the hem of her skirt, held the food box, and walked towards the water pavilion.
As soon as Li Ying intervened, no matter how unwilling the rest of the sons were, they could only disperse, only Lu Yao was still standing in place, looking at Lin Yu's back with blank eyes.
"Forget it!" Someone patted him on the back vigorously and comforted, "Anyway, you didn't see anyone's face." β
"It must be good-looking! It's not good-looking, why did Brother Hotaru let her pass? β
"That's no way, who asked Brother Hotaru to ask for it?"
Lu Yao muttered, looking at Lin Yu's back, but still refused to give up: "Brother Firefly's body, how can you have a woman?" Maybe you'll give it to me in the end......"
He watched Lin Yu walk into the water pavilion, and the curtains around her fell, covering her figure.
Li Ying's nurse searched Lin Yu's body to make sure she was not carrying any sharp or hidden weapons, and took her food box to check whether there was a compartment and whether she was carrying suspicious items.
As for whether the food in the food box is poisonous, she doesn't care, anyway, Li Ying won't eat any foreign food.
It wasn't until everything was confirmed that she retreated behind Li Ying, and didn't allow Lin Yu to get too close.
Li Ying's thin lips were pale and moved slightly, Lin Yu didn't hear him speak, but the nurse seemed to have received an unmistakable instruction and asked, "Whose daughter are you?" Who asked you to come? β
Lin Yu tilted his head slightly, as if puzzled: "Why do you want to ask who asked me to come?" I'm just a pastry girl......"
Li Ying shook her head. The nurse said, "Which cake shop is it?" β
Lin Yu's expression brought a slight smile: "I don't dare to say it, I don't know how many sons I have offended, and the little girl is a little scared." β
With such an attitude, how could it be an ordinary merchant's daughter?
She clearly had another purpose.
Li Ying frowned, and seeing that she was unwilling to cooperate with her, the guards around her were about to step forward and drive her away.
"Wait!" Lin Yu said: "Okay, for the sake of you helping me out of the siege, and the people are not bad, I ...... Well...... Let me tell you. I'm here to see you. β
The nurse said: "I'm afraid my son-in-law doesn't know the girl." β
"I don't know either!" Lin Yu said angrily, "If I know your son-in-law, why do I have to pretend to be like this and sneak in?" β
"The girl still didn't say, why did she want to see our son-in-law."
"Isn't it because my parents suddenly mentioned something recently?" Speaking of this, Lin Yu pretended to be shy and embarrassed, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to roll a strand of broken hair hanging from his ear: "If you want to know who I am, why don't you ask the family about the recent mention of relatives!" I...... I'm embarrassed to say it myself. β
Li Ying froze in place, her pale thin lips slightly opened, because she was too surprised, she unconsciously said the volume that others could hear clearly-although compared with ordinary people, the voice was still soft and slight: "Family? β
Even the nurse beside him, whose expression had always been calm and calm, also showed a stunned look.
How can it be?
Childe's physical condition, how will the Li family say goodbye to Childe?
Li Ying no longer let the nurse speak on his behalf, he said in a low voice: "Which of my younger brothers is ......?" β
Lin Yu said: "It's not the younger brother, it's the eldest son." β
ββ¦β¦β
She said matter-of-factly: "I have asked many people for news, but there is no more information except that the eldest son is frail and sickly and lives in a simple place. I thought to myself...... I thought to myself, if I was really weak, I was afraid, I was afraid that there would be some hidden diseases and quirks that no one knew, so I made up my mind to come and see for myself. β
Li Ying was silent.
His nurse was silent.
The guards around them were silent.
Seeing this, Lin Yu lowered his eyes and said, "This behavior is indeed ...... It's really unruly, so I can't report myself to my family, and I ask the eldest son to forgive me. But that's my characterβyou knew it earlier, and you didn't like it, so you wouldn't like it later, or you wouldn't get used to it. If you really can't accept it...... Go to your parents and tell you that it's okay not to get married. β
The nurse said suddenly: "Then I don't know what the young lady's impression of my son-in-law is?" β
Li Ying was taken aback, and turned her head to look at her nurse, her eyes covered by black silk seemed to widen slightly.
Lin Yu said with a smile: "It's very good, although I am mixed with the group of gentlemen outside, but when I am besieged, he is willing to help me and relieve the siege, and he always uses the sound of the flute to restrain the guests, so that they will not get drunk and mess around...... You can also see that my origin is suspicious, and my brain is smart enough. β
Saying that, she looked Li Ying up and down, and continued: "Although it is a little thinner, it looks like bamboo bones and pine branches, and its bearing is extraordinary, but it also has a unique charm. β
Li Ying's pale face turned red, like a layer of glow reflected in the snow.
He sat cramped and nervously in place, looking flustered and nervous, completely lacking the majesty that the patriarch of the family should have.
It turned out to be a person with a soft personality. Is it because he has been weak since childhood...... I don't seem to be very confident.
It's not a tough character, it's even better.
Seeing that he seemed to be restless, Lin Yu slowed down his voice and said softly: "I am not dissatisfied with my son, I don't know what my son thinks of me?" Want...... Do you want to go back and tell the elders of the clan and stop the discussion? β
"I ......" Li Ying was so panicked that she was at a loss. I...... I'm frail and sickly, and I'm afraid I'll delay your ...... thanks to the lady's wrong love."
And the nurse, who was originally calm, showed a relieved smile at this moment, and no longer spoke on her behalf, but happily watched Li Ying talk to the girl with difficulty.
Lin Yu smiled: "That means that the eldest son is willing to make further contact with me?" β
Seeing that he didn't refuse, Lin Yu said briskly: "It's just right, it's the Shangsi Festival in a few days, I wonder if the eldest son is willing to travel together?" Life events, maybe you will have to live a lifetime in the future, how can you make a hasty decision without seeing it? How can you make a decision just by seeing one face? β
β¦β¦
Li Ying's nurse escorted Lin Yu out of the Star Gate Temple smoothly, without encountering any obstacles or harassment along the way.
Under the gaze of the other party, she walked generously towards the Lin family's carriage, with a look of course, "Since I have been exposed, there is no need for me to continue to pretend to be a merchant girl".
In the car, she and Bai Lu changed back into clothes.
Bai Lu said with concern: "Miss, is it going well?" β
"It's going well." Lin Yu said: "I have done everything I can do, and the rest ...... It depends on whether Providence is willing to do it. β
Bai Lu immediately folded her hands, closed her eyes and prayed: "May God bless you." β
Bless Miss to successfully tie the knot with the son of the Li family.
Lin Yu had already passed the stage of clasping his hands and closing his eyes in prayer.
Instead of praying to heaven to bless Zhu Rongzhan for a few more days to postpone the selection of the crown princess and give her some more time, she is more inclined to create opportunities by herself.
She instructed: "Go to Wanzhou Market." β
