Chapter 39: The Funeral of the Lin Mansion
My least favorite thing is summer.
The scorching sun was scorching, and the cicadas on the trees were singing endlessly, Lin Yi'an sat under the big tree in Taoluzhai and waited for a long time before he saw Lichun trotting back.
"Madame, everything has been delivered!" Lichun wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head.
Seeing that Lichun was so hot, Lin Yi'an handed her a cup of herbal tea, and then asked, "Why did you go for so long?" I almost thought something had happened to you. ”
"It's a bit of a twist and turn." At this moment, he didn't care about talking about the gift of the master and servant, and Lichun took the herbal tea and drank it all without thinking about it: "When I arrived at the Lin Mansion, I learned that the eldest young master bought another house after he came back, and he didn't live in the Lin Mansion. I inquired with the people in the house for a long time, but they didn't know where the eldest young master lived. In the end, it was the seventh miss and the autumn equinox that the things were successfully delivered to the eldest young master. ”
Lichun thought for a while and said: "It's strange to say, the door plaque hanging in the eldest young master's mansion reads Wenfu, and it's no wonder that others don't know." ”
Wenfu ...... Lin Yi'an lowered his head. It seems that the eldest brother is really resentful of the Lin family, and refuses to go back to live without saying anything, and even changes his surname to his mother's surname. I'm afraid that this posture is determined to draw a clear line with the Lin Mansion.
But that doesn't matter, Lin Mansion doesn't have much affection for Lin Yi'an, she won't forget how many assassinations she has suffered in it, and how many people have sneered at her. For so many years, the only benefit she has had from the Lin Mansion is that this time, with this status, she married Mu Cheng.
Mu Cheng is the only person who has no purpose to defend her and be good to her except for her brother and little sister. Fourteen years of life in the Lin Mansion have created her scheming and strategy, and also made her live cautiously and walk on thin ice.
That insecure heart, the strings that are tense all the time, seem to be relaxed only when you are with Mu Cheng.
I don't know how he fought in Los Angeles......
The days are like leaves wilted by the scorching sun, falling one by one, day by day.
Yunrong's business is as good as before, the Yashe has been successfully completed, and the maids and grandmothers of the Hou Mansion are also getting more and more on the right track under Su Rong's dedicated teaching, and everything is developing in a good direction.
But Lin Yi'an still couldn't lift his spirits, locked himself in the study of Changyi Pavilion all day long, and didn't know what to do, so he just refused to come out anyway.
Others don't know, but Lichun knows that the master is worried about Mu Houye.
"Madame, it's useless to think too much." Lichun persuaded.
Lin Yi'an put down the book in his hand and sighed faintly: "Mu Cheng has been gone for two months, and not a single news has come back. I'm just afraid that what I'm doing now is in vain. ”
"No, it won't." Lichun cut the railway: "In just two months, you sorted out the affairs of the house, changed the rouge shop to Yunrong Pavilion, and built a house in the Han River. Now that the house has been built, it will be open in three or two days. Madam, I know how much effort you've put into the past two months, so don't worry. Hou Ye's military exploits are not in vain, and now there is no news is the best news. ”
For the first time, Lin Yi'an felt that Lichun's girl was getting more and more imposing as a big girl. The sharpness of the mouth has almost caught up with the autumn equinox in the past.
"When the House opens, it's going to be more than half done." Lin Yi'an muttered, and suddenly remembered something: "Is there news from the Lin Mansion?" ”
"In recent days, the prince has often walked around the Lin Mansion, and there is indeed a meaning of marriage in his words, but he has not explained who he wants to marry for a long time." Lichun said while shaking a fan for Lin Yi'an: "There is one more thing, Mrs. Lin's body is not very good. When I heard that I fell down the steps, I had a stroke and couldn't get out of bed, and even the saint sent someone to the Lin Mansion to greet him several times. Madame want to go see the old lady? ”
Although he has no affection for Mrs. Lin. But after all, he didn't feel sorry for himself all these years, and even deliberately added her dowry much thicker when she got married.
It's just that it's almost dusk now, Lin Yi'an thought about it, and said to Lichun: "I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”
On the second day, it was just white, and when Lin Yi'an was freshening up, someone from the Lin Mansion came to pass the word.
said that Mrs. Lin didn't come up in one breath last night, so she died.
When he heard the news, Lin Yi'an accidentally dropped the ivory jade comb in his hand. Sure enough, the world is impermanent. Even if the affection is not deep, there is always a bit of grandparents and grandchildren friendship in it, hearing this bad news, Lin Yi'an's mood is somewhat lost, and more emotional.
She immediately took a carriage back to the Lin Mansion.
At this moment, the Lin Mansion has been hung with white silk, and people who come in and out inside and outside are tied with white cloths on their heads. When the person guarding the door saw Lin Yi'an, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Miss Six is back." ”
"Where's my father?" Lin Yi'an asked as he walked.
"The old man is arranging the old lady's afterlife. The second and third masters are entertaining guests in the front hall. The porter replied.
When the emperor dies, there will always be many people who come to mourn.
Lin Yi'an entered the door with the front foot, and many funerals were sent to the palace with the back foot.
Lin Baiwei was also kneeling in front of the mourning hall in plain clothes at this moment, and when she saw Lin Yi'an, she called softly: "Sister." ”
Because he was already married, Lin Yi'an didn't have to kneel under the hall, but only changed into the prepared plain clothes and stood on one side. She saw that Lin Baiwei's face was a little pale, and hurriedly stepped forward: "There are a few brothers here, you go out with me to rest first." It's not worth it to break your knees. ”
"I know that my sister feels the most sorry for me." Lin Baiwei stood up with some difficulty.
When Lin Yi'an was helping Lin Baiwei to walk out slowly, Lin Zhenwen, Chen Zhiyuan and a man with extraordinary bearing walked up. Lin Baiwei lowered her voice and said, "He is the prince." ”
"Where are you going?" This was asked to Lin Baiwei. Lin Zhenwen was in a bad mood, and even his tone was full of anger.
Lin Yi'an pulled Lin Baiwei behind him and said to Lin Zhenwen: "Father, Wei Niang almost fainted on her knees, and there are still a few brothers in it, let me take her down to rest first." ”
Before Lin Zhenwen could speak, the prince next to him looked a little worried, and said to Lin Baiwei: "The deceased has passed away, Miss Seventh don't hurt yourself for this." ”
The prince was so concerned, Lin Zhenwen couldn't say anything, so he only said to Lin Yi'an: "Go down." Then he walked to the hall with the prince and Chen Zhiyuan.
"The prince is still kind to you." Lin Yi'an took his sister's hand and said.
Lin Baiwei's pale face showed a sweet smile, and she pulled Lin Yi'an to sit down in a gazebo: "I haven't seen my sister for a month, I really miss you." ”
"As soon as my grandfather's funeral is over, I told my father that I want you to come to the Hou Mansion to stay for a while." Speaking of this, Lin Yi'an was a little helpless: "Now that my grandfather is gone, my family can't do anything red for three years." I'm afraid your marriage will drag on for a long time. ”
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm only thirteen years old. As she spoke, Lin Baiwei's head leaned over: "Some people are in a hurry." ”
Bang –
Lin Yueman had already smashed many porcelain teacups. The maid stood aside with trepidation, and cautiously persuaded, "Miss, you haven't shown up in the front hall yet." Don't go again...... I'm afraid that others will gossip. ”
"Just say it!"
A cup fell to Su Xin's feet, and the splinter bounced and almost cut her hand.
This is the first time Lin Yueman has smashed things like this in his life.
In the past, Li liked this when she was angry, but she didn't care about it at that time, and always felt that it was the most useless performance. But now she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart at all.
If nothing else, just for the three-year filial piety period.
She is fifteen years old, and she will be eighteen in three years. That's when she completely ruined into an old girl. Not to mention the East Palace, even the people next to him are unwilling to marry an eighteen-year-old daughter-in-law and go home.
The custom of Dajin has always been that the older ones marry first. But Lin Yi'an, as a younger sister, married one step ahead of her, and her marriage with the East Palace has not been decided, and her father doesn't even have a quasi-letter. She has become the laughing stock of everyone's backs.
Everyone said that her vision was higher than the sky, but in the end she became an old girl who couldn't get married.
This is still a rumor that she is now fifteen years old, and if she had completed the three-year filial piety period, she would have been eighteen at that time......
Lin Yueman didn't dare to think about what a bad situation it would be.
She couldn't sit still like that.
"Suxin, change clothes!"
"I'm going to beg the prince."
