Waiting for Lin Shu to open the letter, she discovered that three silver notes that were worth a hundred silver taels had fallen out, and other than that, there was nothing else.

Lin Shu was stunned, and Yun Dou was also stunned. She asked in a low voice, "How did this happen?"

She thought that this was Young Master Lu's letter of love for her young lady. After all, according to the rules, they were not allowed to meet before the marriage.

Lin Shu looked again, the letter was empty, "I think it must be the new year money that Uncle Jingtang gave me!" In her heart, she felt that it was somewhat strange, but she was mostly disappointed. It was just that even she herself did not realize it.

Actinin Qin said softly: "Miss, I will help you collect these silver taels!"

Madam Lian would always give her money from time to time. Although it was not a huge sum, but in total, she was like a rich woman.

Lin Shu nodded, "Then let's put it away!"

Because this year's Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had three girls who were going to be married off, the New Year wasn't very lively and even brought about a bit of depression.

Not to mention that Lin Pei had only gotten a good performance this year. It must be known that ever since he had entered the service, his performance had always been excellent, so his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was a little gloomy.

Lin Qian, however, was a little happy. She couldn't bear to see everyone from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion wandering around for the Fifth House and the Fifth Uncle, and she even pulled on Second Madam's sleeves as she whispered: "Mother, do you think Fifth Uncle will enter the Cabinet?"

Wanting to enter the Cabinet was not easy, even the Elder Jiangge had previously said that Lin Pei had hope, but how many scholars had Daqing Dynasty? There were many people who had hopes of entering the Cabinet. It was easier said than done …

Second Madam shook his head, "How would I know? A few times ago, your father mentioned this to me, and told me to go to the Jiang Family to probe your character. How could you not know what kind of character your father has? If not for your Fifth Uncle finding him, how would he be able to think of this matter? "

"Actually, whether your Fifth Uncle can enter the Cabinet or not is not up to your great-uncle to decide. I think this matter is suspended in the air, your Fifth Uncle's performance is very good this year, and the other Department's Assistant Minister is favored. Originally, when the Department's President was very old, everyone thought that the position of the Department's President would belong to your Fifth Uncle, but now that this happens … "It is hard to say who the position of the Office's President is."

Actually, even an inner chamber woman like her could see that Lin Pei's actions last year were a little strange. It's fine if he didn't visit home often, but he also repeatedly committed small mistakes in the imperial court … Now that the Elder Zhang was old, it was the most critical time, so how could Lin Pei make a mistake?

However, Lin Qian was obviously very happy, "If Fifth Uncle cannot enter the Cabinet, I wonder what will Sister Shu be so arrogant for in the future …"

In fact, these few years, it was not Lin Shu who had acted arrogantly, it was Lin Shu who saw her true face and chose to distance herself from her. But previously, she did not know how many good things she had taken from Lin Shu and the Madam Lian, and they were all gone in a moment.

This was exactly what he meant!

Second Madam patted her hand and said softly: "You, when will you grow up? How can you not understand such logic? Your uncle and your father are both unreliable, if not for the support of your Fifth Uncle, I am afraid that even a first-rate Honorable House would not be able to stand in line and become destitute like that Duke Chengan Palace. You are a lady with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, could it be that you will have face once you leave this place? "

She was very smart, knowing that she could not write the words Lin, she wanted Lin Pei to enter the cabinet, and even become the main assistant.

Lin Qian curled her lips and said: "But I … But I just can't stand Lin Shu's look … "

The Second Madam laughed, in truth, she had not liked Lin Shu all these years, but she was not Lin Qian, so his reaction was not that obvious, "Why are you getting angry at her? After eight or ten years, she will be the only one who dares to provoke you. There is no need to be unhappy now, it does not seem petty. It is exactly the same as Lin Lian! "

Lin Qian thought for a while, and thought that the best way to marry someone was through the Lin Family. Once Lin Hui married someone, she would become her wife, but how could the Huaiyin Palace compare to the Duke Andong Palace? Not to mention that in a few years, she would become a Duke Andong’s wife.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but straighten her back a little, "Mother, you are the best to me in this world!"

Now, she didn't even dream of marrying into the imperial family anymore. Forget about everything else, she just looked at Zhang Yuanqing, and heard people saying that Zhang Yuanqing didn't seem to be doing well … That's right, none of the imperial women seemed to be doing well, and now she finally understood this logic.

Seeing that she was no longer crying like before, Second Madam patted her back and said, "In this world, if I don't treat you well, who will? Although the Duke Andong’s wife was tricky, how many years could he endure? "After ten or twenty years, you have the final say in this Duke Andong Palace. Whatever she does to you today, you can just return it back to her. If you keep thinking this way, no matter how hard she tries to make things difficult for you, you will still have hope in your heart."

"At that time, County Prince s of the Duke Andong Palace will be working outside all day, could it be that they can still meddle in the affairs of the Inner Palace?" This was also why her Grand Madam's temper was so bad, and why she had always followed his lead. She believed that one day, she would make a comeback, and that she would return all the suffering and suffering she had endured.

She was not a kind-hearted person!

With this, Lin Qian would be peacefully preparing for marriage in the mansion.

In less than a few days, Lin Shu's wedding date was set, set to be at the end of spring next year.

The day was decided upon by the Ministry of Rites and the Venerate Heavens Sect. They looked for the birthdays of Lu Jingran and Lin Shu and chose the best day.

Because of the Ministry of Rites and the imperial concubine, Lin Shu didn't even need to prepare a wedding dress; she only needed to prepare some dowry that the Madam Lian had prepared for her.

It had to be said that the Madam Lian was extremely generous when she made a move.

Even Lin Hui who heard it couldn't help but click his tongue, "Fifth Aunt is really too rich."

Lin Shu smiled and did not speak.

However, Madam Lian still felt that this object was not up to standard, so she pulled Lin Shu's hand and said: "In a few days, your aunt will enter the capital! I've never married a girl, but your aunt has married a wife, and is very experienced. When the time comes, ask her and see what those sister-in-law of yours brought when they entered the room, you can't leave any of them behind. "

Silver was a good thing. She thought that once she had silver, her daughter would be able to have a stable foothold in the National Duke Ning Palace. After all, there was no one that didn't like silver.

But Lin Shu was still very surprised, "Aunt is going to enter the capital, when will she be here?"

She remembered that her mother had told him that only her aunt would be able to enter the capital, but she had not expected that it would happen so quickly.

She also knew about the relationship between her mother and aunt. Her mother had lost her mother when she was young, so she was very happy. Although her father and brother took care of her, they were not as meticulous as a woman.

She had heard that when her grandfather wanted to marry her mother to the capital, her aunt, who had always listened to her grandfather's words, had made a huge ruckus. When her mother had gotten married, she had even cried.

The Madam Lian's face was filled with joy, "Originally, your aunt was not in a rush, I also told her, but now that the weather is cold, even if you chased her too far, she would still suffer, but your aunt never thought that your cousin cousin would be able to get a high rank. Upon hearing the news, she was so happy that it seemed like it was something important to her, and Xiang Ze came to see your Brother Yao as soon as possible."

Now that she understood, she felt that Lin Shu's marriage could no longer be changed.

But in the end, she still felt that it was somewhat pitiful, even if Yao Yao did get hit by a High Scholar and didn't have the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to announce the good news, it was fine. However, during the new year, she had only sent people over to give her the New Year's gifts, but not the people from Madam Lian.

Once this excuse was used, even the Madam Lian found it hard to say anything.

Lin Shu said: "Since Aunt is coming, doesn't that mean that Brother Yao is coming as well?" She really wanted to find a chance to explain things to Brother Yao.

"I'm not sure about that. Your aunt said that he usually looks like he has a good temper. However, if he's stubborn, then even nine bulls won't be able to come back." Madam Lian was also a little hesitant. She thought for a while and said, "However, by the time your aunt arrives, she would probably come over no matter what. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense …"

But they had guessed wrongly.

When he was waiting for Madam Lian's sister-in-law to come to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, even Yao had yet to arrive.

On the other hand, Aunt Lian held Lin Shu's hand and looked left and right, not only had she removed the jade bracelet that she had been wearing for many years, her gaze had not moved away from Lin Shu's face for even a moment.

Madam Lian hurriedly said that she could not take it anymore, "Sister-in-law, I have been wearing this bracelet ever since you married into the Lian Family, and I didn't even give these bracelets to your wives when they entered the. If she gave them to Sister Shu, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."

Aunt Lian was also a straightforward person, smiling merrily she said: What's inappropriate about it? I'll give it to whoever I want. Who dares to say no? If they want something good, they'll have to rely on their own ability to earn money. What's the point of relying on me, what's more, I truly like Sister Shu. "

"Tsk tsk, Sister Shu looks really good, way better than you when you were young. If you grew up in a few years, it would be even better looking."

When Lin Shu heard this, he felt somewhat embarrassed, "Aunt, I feel embarrassed looking at your words."

Even though this was the first time she had seen Aunt Lian in both her lives, she couldn't help but like him in her heart.

Aunt Lian, however, just laughed non-stop and joked around with her for a while before saying, "I brought over a lot of good things for you from the Yangzhou. Quickly go and pick one and at that time, you won't lose face even if you take these things for your own use or for other people." She was going to send Lin Shu away.
