Chapter 43

In the morning of the second day, Liu took his servant girl to Baishui County in two chariots. Instead of going directly to leisurely's home, she came to Cheng's home and found Cheng Zijun's mother, Chen.

Chen has always been the only one who went to the capital to greet Liu. I never thought Liu could come to Cheng's house. After listening to his servant's reply, Chen went to the gate in person, and constantly asked the maid to serve tea and snacks.

Liu didn't want to waste time on eating and drinking. As soon as he wanted to refuse, he heard Chen say, "my cousin tasted this snack. It's from the house of the loyal marquis. I'm not willing to eat it. If it wasn't for my cousin's coming, I wouldn't have taken it out again. "

Zhongyi Houfu? Liu swallowed his words, picked up a piece and tasted it. He praised it: "it's really from Hou Fu. It's exquisite and delicious. I didn't expect that my sister's family could have Hou's snacks. "

Chen said, "isn't it true that when junge'er went to your house yesterday, he took one of his classmates to deliver things to Zhongyi Marquis's house? This is Mrs. Hou's gift to the child. The child is still sensible and gives two boxes to junge'er. There is also a southern fruit called grapefruit, which is the size of a ball. Otherwise, how can we eat such a valuable thing? "

Liu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He thought constantly. It seems that the big girl of the Lin family has a good face in front of the master, or she won't give such a gift in return. The master's plan is right. If you can really climb up to Zhongyi Marquis's house through this girl, won't the family be prosperous soon?

Think of here, she is no longer wordy, will come directly and Chen said.

Chen did not expect that Liu came all the way here just because of this. She could not help saying, "so my cousin came here for this?"

Liu took her hand and said, "good sister, as you know, your cousin's term of office is coming, but his boss doesn't deal with him very well. If you don't find a support quickly, your cousin's official career will come to an end. At that time, I'm afraid it's hard to say what we'll do together. "

Chen was shocked: "is it so dangerous? That Lin's sister is just a slave. Her nephew's willingness to marry her is to give her face. She doesn't dare to answer any more. But she served as a lady, and a girl. Can she has the final say in this official business?

Liu said, "sister, you don't know that the eldest brother of Han's wife is the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, who is in charge of the promotion of all officials. Moreover, I sent someone to the Marquis's house yesterday to inquire about the girl who saved the life of the young master of the Han family when she was a child. Therefore, the Han family treated her very well. As long as you marry that girl, what can't be done? If your cousin is really promoted to another level, will he be able to treat you badly? "

After listening to Liu's words, Chen said, "one of our family's Coachmans has been to her house several times. Let's take a set of cars."

So they got on the carriage in a hurry and came to Baishui town.

After eating prematurely, leisurely is busy sorting out the things brought back by his younger brother yesterday. Besides snacks and moon cakes, there are also two jars of good yellow rice wine, some spices, melons and fruits. There is no special valuable things, but let leisurely heart a relaxed, if the lady give her too heavy return, she do not know how to do.

Mother Lin and her mother are working together. I heard someone knocking outside the gate, "is lady Lin there?"

When she heard that someone was coming, Mrs. Lin came out of the house and saw two strange ladies in extraordinary clothes in the yard, surrounded by many servant girls.

Lin's mother hesitated and asked, "Why are the two wives here? Is it the wrong place? "

A younger woman said, "isn't this Lin Enron's home? I'm Cheng Zijun's mother. " How does Cheng Zijun's mother come back to her home? According to past experience, Mrs. Cheng looks down on her family. Lin's mother was even more suspicious, but she didn't show it. She said with a smile, "it's Mrs. Cheng who's here, and our kids are taken care of by the family. Our country is a bit crude. If you don't like it, please sit in the room? "

They really dislike it. They are used to living in gaomen courtyard. How can they see such a farmyard. But what they want to say is not easy to publicize outside. Now Liu gives Chen a wink, and they each take a servant girl into the hall.

At this time, leisurely also heard the news. Although she didn't know the purpose of the two people, the visitor was a guest, so she made two cups of tea and served them politely.

Lin Enron also came to see the two wives.

After a little greeting, he stood quietly behind Lin's mother without saying much. Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "this is Lin Ge'er's elder sister, Qingliu girl from Zhongyi Marquis's house, right? Sure enough, it's from the Marquis's house, but it's much sharper than our girls. " Then he turned his head and looked at Liu's "cousin, do you think I'm right?"

After coming out of leisurely ah, Liu had been observing her in secret. He saw that the girl did have a leisurely manner when she raised her hand and put her head and feet. She was not gorgeous in appearance, but she was also beautiful and refined. She was satisfied with two points in her heart. She was standing behind Lin's mother with a low brow and soft eyes. She thought she was a good one. So he echoed, "I think so too. Come here, I'll have a look."

Leisurely doesn't know Liu's identity, but when Chen asks her to sit down, she knows that this person's identity is above Chen. Leisurely doesn't like Liu's look at her like looking at the goods, but people don't say anything impolite. Besides, his younger brother often bothers Cheng Zijun. At present, it is necessary to be polite. So he went to Liu with a smile and gave a salute.

Liu took leisurely's hand and said with a smile, "this is a good child indeed after a close look. We can compare our daughters and daughters in law. " With that, he rolled down a gold bracelet from his hand and gave it to her. He was surprised how this man gave himself such a heavy gift. Therefore, it is not acceptable to blindly refuse.

Lin's mother also said, "madam, this gift is too expensive. How can her children afford it?"

Chen, who was hinted by Liu, said with a smile, "I can stand it. Now it's just a gold bracelet. In the future, it will be a complete set of gold jewelry." Then he looked at Lin's mother and said, "it's said that Lin's sister hasn't been betrothed yet. Today, I have the honor to tell her how to make a good marriage."

Talking to someone? Chen's words are too careless. How can anyone tell a marriage in front of a girl? Mrs. Lin was a little upset, and Mrs. Cheng was a little out of tune. Hearing this, he turned leisurely and went to the inner room.

But Chen said, "since it's related to sister Lin, why don't you listen to her?" Leisurely, seeing that his mother had no objection, he stayed. Chen pointed to Liu and said, "it's not other people, it's my cousin's son."

Then he said with a chagrin, "look at my brain, I forgot to introduce my cousin to my wife. My sister-in-law is not a casual family. My cousin in her family is Lord wailang Wang, a member of the etiquette department, and a decent five grade official in Beijing. My cousin heard that Lin Jieer was beautiful, so she asked me to come with her. It's not a good match to want to hire our elder sister Lin as the second wife for his eldest son? "
