Now that the matter has come to this, if Lin Zhixiu refuses to agree, it will be too disrespectful.
As soon as she nodded, Li Chengcheng couldn't stay at An's house any longer. He went home in a hurry and went to discuss marriage with Wu Dong.
Lin Ji looked at his back as he strode out with long legs and said to Lin Zhixiu, "Xiu'er, the matter has been resolved. Go home! Don't worry! No one at home dares to provoke you now." He said with a wry smile.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, Xiu'er should stay here for a while. I promised my aunt that we will do some work together for our unborn siblings. Besides, there has been too much chaos recently, so I just need to calm down!"
Lin Ji said, "But you are getting married in less than a month. My family needs to discuss the dowry with you! This is no small matter."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er is not a royal concubine, so the dowry matter is easy to talk about..."
Although everything is unclear now, the main concubine and the side concubine are still different.
Lin Ji smiled calmly and said, "Xiu'er, my uncle thinks that His Royal Highness, if you enter his house, you will be the master of the Prince's house! You must also know that a family is ultimately decided by the man.
It’s up to you. In this case, you don’t have to be humble anymore! Just get the stewardship rights, property, and things in your hands.”
Lin Zhixiu looked at Lin Ji, a little surprised that he could say this.
When Lin saw Lin Zhixiu looking at him strangely, he didn't take it seriously, "As for His Highness Cheng Wang's current attitude towards you... No matter how you abide by the rules, keep a low profile, and be humble... in the eyes of others, you are all hypocritical! You and
There is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between princesses. Therefore, you should be generous and accept His Highness's goodwill. Moreover, although the Emperor seems to be dissatisfied with you, in the end, these concessions and rewards are real.
I took care of you..."
Haha, Lin Zhixiu secretly laughed, didn't her uncle advise her to abide by the rules and not cause trouble to the Lin family?
It seems that this uncle is still a little clever. But he is not using it where it should be used!
Without thinking too much at this time, Lin Zhixiu nodded and said, "Xiu'er remembers."
Lin Ji said, "Send the two girls back first to tidy up the things in your yard!"
Lin immediately left.
An Ning had already slipped away and told Aunt An all kinds of news.
Ren Baihui was surprised and happy. She was stunned for a long time and then said in a low voice, "You didn't take the imperial examination. You jumped from the royal palace to the official position. Even if my father comes forward, you will probably only get a rank of six. If the prince comes forward, you will only be a high-ranking official."
Fifth grade. It’s not necessarily what you do... Husband, this position is no joke. I can’t even believe it is true..."
An Ning said, "Oh, it's just like a dream. Mr. Lin, tell me one by one. We all laughed out loud. What do you mean... what is this!?" He felt a little ashamed.
Aunt An said, "It seems that the emperor still values Xiu'er very much."
An Ning snorted, "You don't value his own son! You didn't see that His Highness King Cheng was happy. Just because he was afraid that Xiu'er wouldn't agree, he... knelt down on one leg!"
He whispered into his wife's ear.
Aunt An was startled again. She opened her mouth and stared at her husband, "Really?"
An Ning curled her lips and nodded, "As soon as Xiu'er nodded, he ran away as fast as he could, saying he was going back to prepare... I was so embarrassed for Xiu'er that he entered his house in such a short time!"
The aunt was a little embarrassed, "You see, the emperor gave Xiu'er an identity and an official position. Although Xiu'er is a concubine, she is on an equal footing with the princess. She will not be too wronged in the future.
In this way, we can rest assured!"
An Ning nodded, "Well, that's true!" He was very satisfied with the result.
Aunt An secretly sighed in her heart, no matter who it was, standing in front of "interests", they really couldn't freely comment on whether they were right or wrong.
I have met Princess Na and Princess Qing before. In my impression, he is a bit proud, but he is not really hateful.
The emperor's reward for Xiu'er was really ugly to Princess Heqing! If she were his sister and friend, he would definitely feel sorry for her.
But Xiuer is her niece, and An Ning is her husband. These news made me happy from ear to ear...
I can’t help but feel a little ashamed!
"Wait until things are settled, then go tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law!" An Ning ordered.
"Yes." Aunt An responded gently, touching her belly...
Suddenly I figured it out again: Why am I struggling so much?
How important is it for a child in your belly to have a good father and a good cousin?!
Everything is life!
She said, "It's just that Xiu'er will get married in less than a month! How can I prepare in time?! I'm like this now and can't do anything at all, but what should I do?"
An Ning said, "You don't have to worry too much about this! Brother Wu, take me to Prince Cheng's Mansion. It's quite new and quite impressive. Just give her more money and buy more good things! She needs firewood, rice, oil and salt to live by.
Xiu'er is ready!?"
My aunt said, "That's not what you said! Dowry is a girl's prestige. If you don't need it, you have to prepare it! I think we were very nervous when we got married, but my things are all in order. I am still a big family in my mother's family...
"
She was embarrassed. An Ning looked at her and chuckled, "That's right! Madam's dowry is neat and generous, and my husband is also shocked!"
My aunt said, "You're kidding me again! We're talking about Xiu'er! Oh, why do they just follow the wind? It's really worrying. The key is that Xiu'er may not be willing to let the Lin family interfere, but our family..."
"Don't worry! It's his blessing that King Cheng can marry our Xiu'er. How can he be picky about the dowry? Moreover, Brother Wu knows our family's wealth and will not look down on Xiu'er! In that mansion, Brother Wu
But the second head of the family!"
The couple discussed it with smiles on their faces...
Lin Zhixiu originally said that she would accompany her aunt to do some work today, but she received so much news at once that her head almost hurt.
I am so confused, I am going to get married in less than a month?!
All this is completely different from what was originally imagined.
What to do next?
She lay on the couch and thought about something... After a while, she fell asleep carelessly.
It's dark when I wake up.
Qi Erlang is here. An Ning didn't want him to see Xiu'er... It was okay before, but now it's really inconvenient.
But looking at his lonely expression in the light photocopy, An Ning softened his heart.
If this is my nephew and son-in-law...that would be great too!
Call Lin Zhixiu out and tell her, "Just speak clearly, don't take too long!"
Lin Zhixiu and Qi Erlang were sitting under the lamp.
In just a few days, Qi Erlang lost a lot of weight.
That young man who was as beautiful as jade actually had some vicissitudes of life on his face.
He whispered, "I was so happy that night when my father came back from the Lin family..."
Looking at Lin Zhixiu, maybe she was at her uncle's house. She was very relaxed and didn't dress up deliberately. She simply wore her hair in two buns and hung them loosely behind her back, with only a few carved silver hairpins inserted.
A pea green double-layer knee-length autumn shirt, a begonia skirt with green silk thread on a gray background. The tips of her small green embroidered shoes are exposed. She wears a jade bracelet on her wrist and no other accessories around her body.
Yingying is gentle, she is so beautiful...
Lin Zhixiu said, "I don't know what to say... After my parents passed away, I prepared in the south for three years. I thought I could control my own destiny. I could make those who were sorry for me and my parents
, was punished. However, I found that things would deviate from the original setting. Today, I am even more trapped in it and cannot extricate myself..."
Her expression was something Qi Erlang had never seen before.
Perseverance and weakness, rationality and confusion. She looks pretty and pretty, but there is a hint of loneliness between her brows and eyes...
Qi Erlang's heart ached. He said, "Actually, Your Highness, Prince Cheng, is a very nice person...better than me! What's terrible is your position."
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "I know this too."
Qi Erlang said, "When I learned the news... I hated myself. I should have settled the matter with you earlier. But now, I also understand that it might be useless earlier."
He didn't expect that King Cheng would be so affectionate towards her at first.
But why didn’t you think of it!?
I fell in love with her and wanted to change everything for her, but it only took a few meetings.
at this point.
Qi Erlang said, "This matter may be related to the attitude of the Lin family. Don't rely too much on the Lin family. I think if your parents were still here, they would not want their precious daughter to enter the palace like this..."
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "I understand. Originally, I didn't count on the Lin family, so I'm not sad either!"
Qi Erlang said, "No matter what, I want to tell you today... No matter what you encounter in the future and what you want me to do, just say it!"
Lin Zhixiu was very moved, and the candlelight shone in her eyes.
She nodded and said "Okay!"
Early the next morning, Li Cheng and Wu Dong came. They were carrying a box and holding it in their arms.
When Wu Dong saw An Ning, his face was full of smiles. "I didn't even sleep well after knowing the news. This is a great thing. It's a pity that the time is too short! Master Qi is anxious, and so am I! We are anxious," he said.
The two of us have been talking for more than half the night and have some ideas. I'd like to come and ask you and Miss Lin San for your opinions."
An Ning asked someone to invite Lin Zhixiu out.
When Li Cheng saw Lin Zhixiu, he was so beautiful that he couldn't get enough of it from head to toe.
I asked him first whether he had eaten or not, whether he had slept well or not.
Then he said, "Axiu, I went back yesterday and discussed it with Uncle Dong. You should listen first... Uncle Dong, tell me."
Wu Dong said with a smile, "Master Qi discussed with me for a long time and came up with a preliminary plan. The current Prince Cheng's Mansion, look at this drawing... is composed of two parts, one part is the mansion given by the emperor, and the other part is the residence of my former wife."
I bought the courtyard for the prince a few years ago. Miss Lin went there last time, and Brother An also took a look. In terms of style, the newly built west courtyard is more elegant than the original east courtyard in the capital, and there is also a particularly good bath. Ours
It means that when Miss Lin San enters the mansion, she might as well live in this courtyard!"
He pointed at the picture and said, "Look, once the door in the middle is opened, it is a big palace. Once the door is closed, it is a special courtyard with its own entrance and exit gate, garden, kitchen, well, everything."
Li Cheng said, "Axiu, you also know that although my status is not low, it is still very difficult for me to refuse what my father has in mind. This time, my father took all the girls from the Pang family and the Feng family."
I have a headache just listening to it. It makes me even more angry when you look at it! Simply, you live in the west courtyard, completely separated from them. Turning back to that princess, let her live in the east courtyard. The two of us live in the west courtyard.
, Live your own life. You see, there is a corridor in the west courtyard leading to the front yard of the palace. It is very convenient for me to go to the office and meet guests."
An Ning understood and nodded, "Xiu'er, uncle feels that the arrangement between the prince and Brother Wu is quite good."
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "Okay. Just listen to Wang Ye and Uncle Dong!"
When Wu Dong heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay! There will be a mistress in the mansion soon. The prince said, when you come in, I will give you everything in my hand!"
As soon as Lin Zhixiu heard about it, "Uncle Dong, don't listen to him. I'm young, how can I have any experience? Besides, I have a lot of things at hand. You will still be in charge of these from now on."
Wu Dong said, "It all depends on you! Another thing, I am in charge of the daily life of the house now..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle Dong, this one is not moving at the moment!"
She can't accept it now, and she still has to see what the princess does when she enters the palace... Oh, this is really troublesome!
Li Cheng could do whatever he wanted, and he was happy with the two people who were most important to him. "Let's discuss these after you come in! What should we do now? I'm even dizzy!"
Wu Dong said, "First let's decide where Miss Lin San will live. Then let's take care of the wedding. These are all easy to handle! I can come up with a plan right away! Miss Lin San, everything in the house is in order and can be used."
, you don’t have to be impatient. Just wait and if you are not satisfied, adjust it immediately!”
Several people talked for a long time, and suddenly someone came to the door and said, "Sir, the two young masters of the Lin family, Lin Song and Lin Bai, are here with Mrs. Lin Er!"
When Lin Zhixiu heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "My uncle and aunt are here..."
An Ning said, "I'll welcome you in!"
An Ning went out and while talking, he accompanied the second old lady in.
The second old lady looked bad and her steps were a little hurried. When she saw Lin Zhixiu, "Xiu'er!" she came up and pulled her to look at her carefully.
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Uncle, why are you here? My two cousins are here too!"
Brother Lin Song looked at Lin Zhixiu with concern. Just as they were about to say something, they saw His Highness King Cheng here!
The second old lady was stunned for a moment and had to take her two grandchildren to salute the prince first.
Li Cheng didn't care, "Axiu, please chat with the old lady for a while, and we'll go to the next room to discuss things!"
The second old lady said, "Oh, I came at an unlucky time, didn't I? Did I disturb you?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, it's okay. Please sit down."
The second old lady sat down and said, "Oh! I heard a series of news. I feel very anxious!" She quietly pointed to the house where the prince went, "Why is this?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "It's hard to put it into words. It's already like this."
The Second Old Lady: "His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is really a talented person! His status is so valuable, and I heard your brother Song say that the prince is also quite capable! Look at it like this... He is also quite interested in you! It's just... a little surprising.
.”
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er was also a little surprised. The wedding period is very short, and the emperor said that I will enter the palace on September 9th!"
The second old lady said, "Ah?! This..." She was going to say something else, but Lin Song pulled her grandmother aside and said, "Grandma, the emperor has already decided. Just go back and add makeup, and it will be fine!"
The second old lady nodded quickly, "Yes, yes. Let's not talk about this! Xiu'er, is something happened to the Lin family?!"
Lin Zhixiu sighed softly, "It's still hard to explain!"
The second old lady said, "Are you okay?!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er is fine. The Lin family's affairs are like this for now. I'm afraid, I don't have the time or energy to find anything else. There are still some things... let's wait until some news is confirmed! Now,
Xiu'er can only do what it takes to enter Prince Cheng's palace!"
The second old lady said, "I understand, I understand! Xiu'er... my uncle has no ability!"
Her eyes were red.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle! You can't think like that! You don't know how much help you and your cousin are living well to Xiu'er!"
The second old lady said, "If you say this, my uncle will feel more at ease! You are a good boy with a good heart, good looks, smart and capable, and you will definitely be fine in the future!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Thank you, uncle, for your kind words!"
The second old lady heard voices coming from the room next to her. She couldn't sit still. "Then... my uncle won't disturb you too much. There are a lot of things at home. Your cousin Bai is also getting married! My uncle will go back and prepare for you."
Add makeup!”
Lin Zhixiu said, "Hey! Uncle, don't be too tired. When my sister-in-law comes in, you can relax!"
The second old lady said, "Yes, yes! Then I will go back first!"
Lin Song said to Lin Zhixiu, "Xiu'er, where you are going, I'm afraid my brother won't be able to speak. But having a brother is better than nothing. If there is something that we two brothers can handle, just speak up!"
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "Xiu'er knows!"
Before the second old lady could be sent away, Mrs. Li came!
Lin Zhixiu was also concerned about Li Feng's marriage and asked a few questions in detail.
Mrs. Li said, "I have met this girl from the Wu family several times. She is really good everywhere! She is so agreeable! Compared to this family... Well, sometimes, when my aunt gets angry, she even thinks about it, just forget it.
!I regret not listening to you!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Li said, "Only part of the Li family's property has come back, and there is still a lot that your uncle sent people to help with when he went to the south. Before the matter was finished, some news came back one after another. I don't understand what he said.
, Brother Li doesn’t understand either. The Zhang family always comes to inquire! They ask about everything! It annoys me all the time!”
Lin Zhixiu chuckled.
Mrs. Li also smiled and shook her head, "Actually, I made it clear to their family before. The eldest brother will get the wealth, and the second house will inherit the title. At that time, although the Zhang family was unwilling, they agreed. But later, nothing happened.
It’s like this! Either they are arguing about the betrothal gift, or they are asking around... Oops, it makes me..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Don't panic. Let uncle and the others sort things out first. Once they have figured it out, we will talk about how to take care of these industries!"
Mrs. Li said, "What I want is to entrust it to your uncle to take care of it. Just report the accounts to the Li family every year! But I just heard you say that your uncle has a great future! Oh, I guess he will also help the Li family to take care of it."
It won’t be long!”
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "That's true...but how could my uncle have sorted out all the previous things? When the time comes, no matter who it is handed over to, it will be easy to do!"
Mrs. Li nodded, "I think Miss Wu is smart and reliable! When she comes in, let your uncle and the others take a look. If it works, tell her if anything happens in the future!"
Lin Zhixiu smiled bitterly: Wu Jingxiang can't wait to do it!
Aunt Li's mentality...will be like this for the rest of her life, right?
She came up with this idea at that time... She touched the tip of her nose, it was a bit troublesome! She really had to keep an eye on it if she didn't know what to do next.
