Jia Daishan persuaded earnestly for a long time, but Lin Xuefeng just listened silently, his expression unchanged. When he finally stopped and looked at himself expectantly, Lin Xuefeng shook his head and said firmly:

"The Duke

Lord, I appreciate your kindness, but as the ancients said: We should never forget the friendship between the poor and the lowly, and the poor wife should not leave the court. The Lin family has always been honest and kept their promises, and they have never betrayed their trust! Forgive me for not obeying your order! Today's matter, the Duke of the country will only treat it as his own.

It’s just a joke!”

Lin Xuefeng refused without hesitation, which made Jia Daishan quite disappointed, but there was no displeasure on his face. Jia Daishan was able to hold military power, became the leader of the Eight Dukes, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Ren'an.

He is not a rude person without a city. He was not prepared to say it this time.

If they can succeed, the Lin family is not like his concubine's husband's family, who are either his old relatives or rely on his promotion and establishment. They will naturally fawn over him and obey him. Why should the Lin family be like this? What's more?

, Scholars are all proud and care about their own reputation and character.

Therefore, Jia Daishan just sighed and expressed his regrets to Lin Xuefeng, saying that he really admired Lin Xuefeng and Lin Hai, and that they were all loyal ministers of the emperor. If they were not destined to be in-laws, he also hoped that the two of them would be married.

Family members can get along well and get along as good friends.

Jia Daishan had a look of regret on his face and a very sincere tone, which made him look very magnanimous. He died early in the book and has only lived in people's mouths. He was a very mysterious figure. What he was like was not mentioned.

Lin Xuefeng used to feel that he should not be prejudicial. Because of the subsequent decay of the Jia family, he became prejudiced against Jia Daishan, who had never appeared before.

From the fragmentary narration of Jia Daishan in the book, we can see that he was very capable and outstanding in ability, which is unmatched by his descendants, and he also has outstanding style. Jia Baoyu looks exactly like him. Today's proposal of marriage, although there is temptation in it

This was true, but it was also because he loved his daughter so much that he didn't do anything extraordinary.

If he hadn't specially sent someone to inquire about the Jia family in advance and found out that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia family was so sad that her family was exiled and was so sick that she was bedridden, Lin Xuefeng might still be confused by Jia Daishan in front of him. However,

Now, his heart is full of vigilance. From this matter, it can be seen that Jia Daishan, the head of the Jia family, is by no means a kind person! He has set his sights on Lin Hai and the Lin family, and I am afraid he will not give up easily!

However, Lin Xuefeng and Zhu had already made up their mind. No matter how much you talk about lotus, the Lin family will never agree to this marriage! The Jia family can't force them. The Lin family now relies on their own

Hard work is no longer like the Lin family in the book, and can no longer be manipulated by others!

On this day, the Jia family did not get the expected results. In the Jia family's shame and disappointment, the Lin family calmly said goodbye and left.

Jia Min felt that he was rejected by the Lin family and lost face. His face was pale and he was about to cry. Mrs. Shi was so angry that she had a fit with her maid. The Lin family was so pedantic that they could not recognize gold and jade!

Dai Shan calmly asked the maid to wait on the young lady to rest. He comforted Jia Min and said: "Min'er, don't worry, your father will solve this matter. You will eventually marry into the Lin family with glory!"

After returning home, Lin Xuefeng and Zhu called Lin Hai and told him the Jia family's plan.

Lin Hai suddenly said: "No wonder Rong Guo Gong came to deliver the message and invited our family to be guests. It turned out that this was the idea! My son has been engaged to Miss Sun, so I might as well explain it to them today."

He recalled it for a moment, frowned and said: "At that time, the Jia brothers and I came out of the flower hall. We were going to take a walk nearby so that we could talk together. We talked about poetry and articles. They were modest that they were not good at it, but they praised

My sister writes good poems and is a talented woman. Later, the Jia family master kept inviting me to go to the garden for a walk. I thought that the back garden was different from the front yard, and I was worried that I would accidentally meet a female family member, which would be rude.

So I politely declined. Mr. Jia's expression still seemed a little anxious and unhappy."

"What?" Mrs. Zhu immediately became angry: "Is there such a thing? Fortunately, Hai'er, you have thought carefully. Sister Jia Min accompanied Jianan Jiayun to the back garden today. If you go in, wouldn't it be just in time with her?

They bumped into each other? You are a foreigner, isn't it bad to meet a girl who has not yet left the court? Are the Jia family going to rely on this to rely on our Lin family? It's too underhanded!"

Lin Hai was stunned when he heard this. Lin Xuefeng glanced at Mr. Zhu, coughed and said, "Madam, it's not like that. At that time, the Jia family didn't know the Lin family's reply. They probably just wanted to arrange for their daughter to meet Hai'er.

, just like we met Miss Sun and Haier before they got engaged. The daughter of the Jia family is a beautiful girl. Maybe Haier will be tempted by this?"

"Can it be the same?" Ms. Zhu asked: "At that time, both the Lin family and the Sun family had the intention of getting engaged, and they had already discussed it. It was not that Hai'er and Miss Sun agreed privately. What does it mean to the Jia family? Don't look at it.

They are now the residence of the Duke of Guo. After all, their ancestors were born in the military, so they use unspeakable methods!" She couldn't help but feel disgusted when she thought of the Jia family's behavior in the book that did not abide by human ethics and etiquette.

Although Lin Hai didn't understand why his mother reacted so fiercely, he had never met Jia Min, so he would not have any past-life feelings. He nodded in agreement: "Mother is right, there are differences between men and women, and this is extremely inappropriate!"

Lin Hai was also displeased with the Jia family's plan: "The eldest son of the Jia family is just frivolous and greasy, but the second son seems to have a good-natured character. He talked to me about classics and meanings, but he didn't expect that his heart was not right!"

"At this time, Lin Hai also felt a little disdain for Jia Min because of this. All the close relatives in the family have such a character, so how can Miss Jia survive the mud?

At this time, he recalled that when he and his father were in Jinling, the Zhen family also had an idea of ​​​​the Lin family. In the end, the father and son were forced to run away overnight. He said the words again: "Let's do this

The scholarly home is not the same as them!"

Mrs. Zhu was very pleased with Lin Hai's clear-cut attitude and repeatedly told him not to have contact with anyone from the Jia family in the future. If he had free time, he could prepare for his upcoming career in the Hanlin Academy or visit the Sun family more frequently.

.

"Madam, although our Lin family has refused, the Jia family may not give up here." After Lin Hai agreed to go out, Lin Xuefeng said to Zhu, "They can also start from the Sun family. Jia Daishan is the Duke of the country, if he imposes on the Sun family

Pressure, or inducement, then..."

"Master, let's go and remind the Sun family that we can't let the Jia family's scheme succeed!" Zhu said hurriedly.

Lin Xuefeng thought quietly for a while, shook his head, and sighed: "Let the Sun family make their own decision. When they ask the Lin family for help, it won't be too late for us to step forward!"

Seeing Mrs. Zhu cast a puzzled look at her, Lin Xuefeng explained with a wry smile: "Madam, think about it, even though the Jia family is the Duke of the country, they can't cover the sky with one hand! But if the Jia family offers some benefits, they can bribe the Sun family."

, or just give in with a little bit of coercion. Then, such an in-law is not suitable."

"Official circles are constantly changing, and no one dares to say that everything will go smoothly for the rest of their lives. I hope that no matter what circumstances Hai'er faces in the future, whether she is in good times or bad, her wife will never leave her, and the Yue family will have faith and trust.

Justice." Lin Xuefeng thought of the top Yue families in the book: the Jia family and Zhen Shiyin's Yue family, and shook his head and said: "This matter can be said to be a test. I would rather cause some trouble now than leave regrets in the future!"

"I hope the Sun family will not disappoint me. Miss Sun is very good, but..." Lin Xuefeng sighed. Even in modern times, marriage is not just a matter of two people, let alone this is ancient times?

The Lin family will never marry the Jia family, that's for sure. But the Sun family, Lin Xuefeng hopes that they can show a firm attitude. If a precious jade vase is broken, Lin Xuefeng would rather replace it with a new one.

I don't want to forcefully repair it, otherwise there will always be a thorn in my heart.

Mr. Sun, Yuanwailang, has been happily busy with his daughter's wedding for the past two days. He is gentle, has ordinary abilities, and has a good family background. He worked in the Ministry of Rites and became a Yuanwailang. His family also has quite a lot of property, but he is not considered rich.

Gui. He is the eldest son and takes care of his parents. He has to ask his old father for advice on important matters at home. That’s good and saves worries. For example, this time, if his father didn’t have a wise eye and be close to the water, how could his daughter Suxin have settled on such a good marriage?

?

The young Tanhualang, the son of a Marquis, is so handsome. How many people covet such a good son to be his son-in-law? Mr. Sun still can't believe that he has such good luck. But,

He is also a little worried. Now, regardless of his status or wealth,

Compared with the Lin family, the wealth is much lower than that of the Lin family. If the Lin family's betrothal gift is heavy, then he will have to prepare Suxin's dowry. But he can't spend all the Sun family's wealth, Suxin is the eldest daughter.

, but he also has two sons and a daughter! Alas, these days, he has mixed joys and sorrows.

On this day, someone found him and came to discuss a major matter with him on behalf of a noble person.

The visitor spoke sincerely, analyzing the pros and cons of this matter in detail, and assured him that the noble man would reward him heavily and satisfy him, and asked him to think about it before making a decision. There are always trade-offs in everything.

Which is more important, false fame or actual gain? Also, that noble man is very prominent. If you offend him, there will be endless troubles. It is better to give in and let the noble man accept this great favor...

Sun Yuanwailang stiffened his body, pursed his lips tightly, and listened without saying a word. For a long time, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "This is a big matter, I want to think about it carefully!"

"It's time to think about it carefully, but don't delay for too long. The Lin family has already been guests at the Duke's Mansion. Although they are heartbroken, they still care about face. But if they can't wait and rush to your house to cancel the engagement, then Yuan Yuanwai Lang

, your family’s reputation and your daughter’s reputation are not good. It’s better.

The best way to solve this problem is to strike first, so that both families have a way to go down." The visitor earnestly persuaded, "But this matter is not suitable for publicity. If you come to ask for an explanation,
Chapter completed!
