Lin Lian pretended not to understand and smiled: "Second Sister has been rather busy lately. Every time I go to pay respects to Grandmother, I haven't been able to see her … Second Sister is actually a very good person. "
She was good at pretending to be a good person, but although the ladies present were not distinguished in their identities, she had heard quite a lot of rumors. Many people only pretended to be confused, saying that the Second Miss was indeed such a person, and that the Second Miss was the lucky one.
Shao Xi only laughed, and said with contempt: "The successor to the Duke Andong's Palace is not that easy to be the wife of. Although the Duke Andong's Palace is simple in population, the Duke Andong’s wife also looks like it's a piece of cake … After all, you have to get married to know the truth. "
Back then, her father had said that he wanted to ask for's marriage. Second Miss Lin Qian said that Lin Qian was born with a good appearance and had the support of Jiang Family; Who knew that her stepmother would invite the matchmaker to go to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to investigate. These words had only appeared for a moment, but Second Madam immediately rejected them.
Lin Lian only laughed, and did not continue speaking. She and Lin Qian had been at loggerheads for more than a day or two.
Finally, Lin Hui stood out, she had always been protective of the others outside, but now she said coldly: "Why do you know that the Duke Andong Palace is not good? You speak as though you were married! "
"You …" Shao Xi had been spoiled since she was young, and immediately said without a trace of politeness: "To think that you're even a young lady from the long room of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, is your speech really that brainless? I naturally haven't married into the Duke Chengan's Palace, but I've heard people talk about the situation inside … At the end of the day, for those people from the Duke Chengan Palace, I would be disdained to marry them off. "
Oh, it's another girl with high eyes!
Lin Hui laughed sarcastically, "Seems like your family rules are still the same as when the Duke Chengan Madam was alive!"
Previously, the Duke Chengan Mistress was the direct descendant of the Ye Family, but now, this person was born from a concubine.
Shao Xi was furious and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Lian, who persuaded in a low voice: "If you want to continue being stubborn, then go ahead, our little sisters will be fine. Why do you have to cause so much trouble? Furthermore, my third sister has always been strong, and she has a Fourth Sister by her side that is fearless against heaven and earth.
Shao Xi then gave up.
During the exchange of words, everyone began to talk about the topic they had yet to finish, "... Originally, Zhang Yuanqing had already wronged her enough by becoming the Lateral Consort for the Third Prince, but who knew that the empress dowager would also grant the palace maids by his side to the Third Prince to become the Lateral Consort.
Shao Xi scoffed, "This is still unbelievable, what is even more unbelievable is that the Emperor actually pointed Chen Yu over to the Fifth Prince!"
Fifth Prince was a cripple, but Chen Yu was the first granddaughter of Grand Secretary Chen. This Grand Secretary Chen and Zhang Family were of the same class, with three generations of Grand Secretary Chen as an official, although they were not considered big officials, but in any case they were still considered an aristocratic family with books and incense, and there were quite a few farmhouse and shops … But the first granddaughter of the Grand Secretary Chen was married to a prince who couldn't possibly inherit the throne.
In his last life, Chen Yu also married into the Fifth Prince. After that, in order for the emperor to pacify the Chen family, he married the other granddaughter of the Chen family to the Eighth Prince. Unexpectedly, his youngest granddaughter, Chen Yao, was married to Lu Jingran …
Chen Yao was the type of person that Shao Shengping wished for in his previous life.
There are too many things that have happened, and even Lin Shu has yet to recover from it, but she could not help but sigh, "I'm afraid that Zhang Yuanqing will not have many good days ahead of him, although I heard that Third Princess was not born, but they have some methods, adding Wang Manjing, I'm afraid that Third Prince's Mansion will become more lively later on."
Now that the girls were old and many of them had already arranged marriage, these were the usual words spoken at banquets.
However, Lin Shu felt that it was meaningless. She just casually made up an excuse and went back first.
However, Shao Xi didn't like her no matter what. Presumably, there were people who were born incompatible, and in her previous life, Shao Xi did not like Lin Shu at all when she was looking at her. Your family's Fourth Miss has quite the arrogance, when she was framed of being a First Princess Pingning, I did not expect him to be able to move around now, and if it were another family, even if they managed to survive, they would probably end up in the manor for the rest of their lives. "
What Lin Shu had said back then indeed caused a stir, but the premise was that there was such a marriage between First Princess Pingning and Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Now that the palace had no orders and First Princess Pingning did not come knocking to propose marriage, everyone thought that Lin Shu was simply bewitched.
After a while, Lin Shu's reputation also crumbled.
In the past few months, many people had already started coming to their houses to propose marriage. Some even came to help Lin Hui find a wife, some even came from small families that came to ask for Lin Lian's hand as a wife, but there was not a single person to bring up a marriage for Lin Shu.
No one in the He’s Mansion was in a hurry, Madam Lian had long planned for Lin Shu to marry Li Yao. Now, she was not in a hurry either, and only kept in closer contact with the Lian Family.
At this time, Madam Lian received a letter from the Lian Family, he was even more joyous and only told Lin Shu Furong Jiang to find him.
The moment Lin Shu came in, the Madam Lian went straight to the point: "Your aunt has already written a letter, saying that she has left from the Yangzhou, and is busy settling some matters along the way. I think she will be able to come to the capital city by next spring."
"Aunt is coming?" In her last life, she had never seen this aunt before, but she had heard that the Yangzhou and female patriarch s had valiant natures and benevolence.
The Madam Lian nodded.
On the side, Peony and Hibiscus covered their mouths and laughed.
Lin Shu noticed something was wrong, "Aunt, why have you come this time? Could it be that her uncle wanted to open a shop in the capital... "That's not right, you said Uncle had too many nobles in the capital. Without a strong backer, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to open a single shop. It would be better if he didn't put his money in the capital …"
"Silly girl!" Madam Lian looked at her with eyes filled with love, "Your aunt is here to propose in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion!"
Propose marriage?
Lin Shu was stunned.
Madam Lian only considered her to be embarrassed, and only said softly: "Speaking of which, this autumn you will be fourteen years old, and not young anymore, so it would be better to settle your marriage early. Your Brother Yao and yourself are like childhood friends, and now that you are about to step down, it is not impossible for you to become a Grand Scholar.
Her sister-in-law had several sons and she even dreamt of having a daughter. Previously, when she was with Sister Shu, her sister-in-law brought him to the capital. Her sister-in-law hugged him tightly, not willing to let go.
Lin Shu only said: "Mother, it is true that I like Brother Yao, but it is actually because little sister likes big brother. All these years, I have treated Brother Yao as if I was my biological brother.
In her entire life, she had never thought about who she was going to marry.
"How come I'm just randomly playing a zither?" "Since you were born, I have always been very concerned about your marriage. Although you are the direct descendent of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, your father is not the direct son, and waiting for your grandmother's 100 years, he will still be separated from her. One of the people in this aristocratic family is a thief and a thief, even if there is someone who wishes to propose marriage with you, it would be because your father is not a person for you, how can I treat you with sincerity then?"
"Not to mention the words that he said to the First Princess Pingning back then, where did he get the guts to come and propose marriage with someone? I think this is a good thing too, at that time, I can smoothly marry you off to your Brother Yao. "
As she spoke, she advised softly: "I know you always treat your Brother Yao like your big brother, but you don't feel too used to suddenly talking about this matter, it doesn't matter, after we've been together for two years, you'll get used to it. Although your Brother Yao is usually a bit noisy, when it's time to be serious, you've never disappointed us, right?"
Lin Shu subconsciously wanted to reject her offer, but she suddenly remembered what her mother had said all those years ago. Furthermore, it seemed as if no one came to propose today.
At this time in her previous life, Grand Madam was in control of it for her, and one after another, people kept coming to his door to propose marriage.
Madam Lian saw that she did not say anything and just thought that she had tacitly accepted it. Thinking that her daughter might be extremely mischievous with other people, but she had always been extremely obedient in front of him, "You think about it carefully for now. Your Aunt still has more than half a year before she comes to the capital, maybe you will understand."
She only felt that there would be no better marriage in the world.
Lin Shu nodded, she did not say a word, and returned to her Linglong Pavilion to think about it, but at night she heard Yun Dou say that Wang Pei was dead.
After living with Cherry Blossom in the capital for a few days, Actinin Qin took care of Cherry as she sent her to the villa to rest.
Wang Pei died?
Lin Shu was startled when she heard the news, she did not even think before she knew that it was caused by the Princess Changze, and immediately frowned: "How did he die?"
"It's said that His Excellency Wang died in a brothel, on a woman. Lady, how could His Royal Highness have died on a woman?" Did the brothel people kill him? "
