Chapter 296 It’s hard to cross the gap in the heart
The next day, Lin Ge and Mrs. Liu came. Originally they came to discuss the dowry with Lin Zhixiu, but unexpectedly, An Ning had a son!
The couple congratulated each other with smiles on their faces, and asked diligently about the arrangements for the third party.
An Ning has encountered a lot of good things these days. At the age of 20, he is already very satisfied with his life!
His attitude toward the Lin family became much calmer. He spoke to Lin Ge gently: "The family is simple and cannot handle it well. I will just do a simple thing for my family during the third day of the year. When the full moon comes, I will do a good job again."
Lin Ge politely expressed his understanding and said that he would send the Lin family's thoughts when the time came.
Mrs. Liu wanted to tell Lin Zhixiu what she wanted to say, but now was not the time, so she only conveyed the old lady's words about the dowry.
Lin Zhixiu didn't care too much about how much or what the Lin family could provide in dowry, so she nodded directly, "Xiu'er listens to her grandfather on this matter! Whatever happens is fine!"
Ringer said, "Third sister, Anjia must be very busy these days. You'd better go home!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Brother, An's family is small, and my uncle just took over the job, so Xiu'er still wants to stay here to help. I'm so old, I don't need anyone else to take care of me! Brother, don't worry, I will definitely come back before I go out."
Live at home!”
Lin Ge agreed. Seeing that the An family had many things to do, the couple said goodbye and left.
As soon as I returned to the Lin family's gate, I saw a small car parked at the door, and the Lin family's servants were moving things in.
Ringer asked "What's going on?!"
The servant smiled and said, "Uncle, our third master is back! Your third brother, Third Master Feng!"
Lin Ge was stunned, "Hey, the third brother is back! I'm going to take a look. You can go to the backyard first." He told his wife and quickly went to the front hall. As soon as he went up the steps, he heard laughter from inside.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a man wearing a blue shirt sitting next to the old man.
When the old man saw Lin Ge coming in, he called out, "Ling Ge, come on, come on, come on, look who's back? This is your third brother Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng quickly stood up and said, "Brother!" He held up his hands.
Lin Ge walked over and grabbed his arm with both hands. "Third brother, you are back!" He looked up and down.
Lin Feng is good-looking, with dark skin and a straight figure. He looks taller than himself.
The old man said, "Hey! Lin Feng, this big guy, is taller than your eldest brother. Lin Ge, did you know? Your third brother has won the scholarship!"
Lin Ge was very happy after hearing this, "Grandpa, this is really good news. My father will be very happy when he comes back!"
Lin Feng said, "Grandpa, eldest brother, Lin Feng was almost 18 before he won the scholarship. He is far behind his father. I am very ashamed!"
The old man said, "That's great! Grandpa is very happy! When you come back, it's time to finalize your marriage! Take your time with the exams! Your cousin Song won the Jinshi this year! You have to ask more questions
Let him learn!"
Lin Feng said, "Yes, grandfather!"
Ringer said, "Grandpa, third brother, I just went to Anjia. Uncle Anjia gave birth to a son last night!"
The old man exclaimed, "There's been so much good news recently! Lin Feng, you came back just in time! Your uncle has a baby. Let's take a break and go take a look! You'll be back just in time to catch up with the show!"
It’s a good thing!”
Lin Feng was also very happy, "Grandpa, Uncle An, is very good to my grandson. It is such a happy event that I have to come to congratulate him!"
Lin Ge said, "Grandpa, originally, he wanted to bring his sister back. An's family is small, and my sister wants to help there! He said he would come back in a few days!"
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Xiu girl is sensible, let her do what she wants!"
Lin Feng said, "Grandpa, eldest brother, I didn't expect that my sister is going to get married."
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Girl Lin is in the capital, and she is also favored by many people! Originally, there was a pretty good marriage, and my grandfather almost settled on it. Unexpectedly, His Highness King Cheng took a liking to her and asked directly to the emperor.
.Sigh, this matter really caused a lot of troubles, but the result is the best! Xiu'er has obtained the status of county lord... You brothers are also glorious. Tsk tsk! Lin Feng, you will understand when you see Prince Cheng, then
What a magnificent prince! He has a rich family fortune, is capable, and has the emperor’s love and affection... he is quite good!"
Lin Feng listened and laughed and said, "My grandfather and uncle are supporting the lintel. My sister has outstanding character, so she is so lucky! Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will study hard and become a Jinshi in the future to support my sister!"
The old man listened very pleasantly and nodded and said, "Well, you are a good boy! Your uncle An, the emperor granted him an official position, married the legitimate daughter of the Ren family, and now you have a son! Your future is quite good! You must remember to kiss your uncle.
Thicker..."
An Ning's luck is beyond words!
Lin Feng nodded.
The old man said, "Oh, when you come back, you can live in the Qingfeng Pavilion in the front yard! The place is not big, but it is easy to access and has just been tidied up! When we get married in the future, we will arrange a yard in the backyard. Qingfeng Pavilion is close to my grandfather's place.
From now on, you eat and talk with your grandfather every day! When you feel settled, call the children of our relatives and friends over to make it lively. Ringer, call all your friends too!"
Lin Ge nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng said, "Grandpa, grandson, let's go see grandma!"
The old man said calmly, "Your grandmother and your eldest aunt were in poor health some time ago and have been recuperating. Well... your grandmother's place... Well, Linge, you take your third brother and kowtow to your grandmother's place.
, don’t delay. When your father comes back tonight, let’s have a good meal!”
Lin Ge understood in his heart and walked back with Lin Feng. When he arrived at the door of the old lady's courtyard, the nun at the door refused to let him in. She very politely said that the old lady was not feeling well.
Lin Feng kowtowed at the entrance of the courtyard.
Mrs. Lin is in the house and she already knows the latest news.
Oh, Lin Zhixiu was not harmed... but she became the county head!
And I was locked up in the yard... I had a smooth life, but as I got older, I ended up like this.
Her appearance has changed a lot. She has gray hair on her temples, dull eyes, and bags under her eyes. Her skin is saggy and her back is slumped. She looks like a real old lady now!
It's just that she is not allowed to go out or meet people. There is nothing wrong with food, drink and provision.
The only one who can come and see her and talk to her is her eldest son.
She asked someone to deliver a message to Lin Jiangwan, but Lin Jiangwan replied with just a few words, but no one came.
She once thought fervently that she might as well die!
Lin Yun, Lin Zhixiu, you are proud of the spring breeze, right? But now, what does it feel like to have to observe filial piety at home?
She laughed hard...
But then I thought again, what should Lin Ji do? He had just won the position of Lord Marquis, and it was a moment of pride, so let him observe filial piety?
What should Lin Ge do? And Lin Zhen...
Lin Zhifang had just gotten married and didn't have a son yet... Lin Zhifang also wanted to get married.
I hate the old man so much. He just knows that I have scruples, so he treats me so unscrupulously, right!?
She hates things every day, and sometimes, she has regrets that she refuses to admit.
I used to be angry from time to time, but now I look so happy...
Hearing some movement at the door, I asked the little girl, "Go and see, who is here?" I was so curious...
Aunt Li died, and Aunt Wang took charge of the affairs of her courtyard.
The little girl went out to take a look and said, "Old madam, it's our third master who is back. The second master's only son, third master Feng. The third master has won the title of scholar! Now, I'm here to meet you!"
Old Mrs. Lin snorted and whispered, "What a courtesy! Huh, I don't like it at all!"
Having said that, it would be good if I could meet him and listen to him talk.
No! If you continue like this, you will go crazy!
She made up her mind, and when that dead girl left, she would use it as an excuse to find a marriage for Lin Zhen...
After Lin Feng's courtesy was fulfilled, he returned to his courtyard. The old man saw that he only brought a little book boy with him, so he assigned a few more people to him.
He went back to his room and saw that everything was packed away.
In the evening, the men of the Lin family gathered together happily. Only Lin Zang looked at Lin Feng with displeasure, but the others welcomed him back.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng went to An's house first.
An Ning expressed pleasure at Lin Feng's achievements and exaggerated a lot.
Lin Feng no longer had the shallowness he had when he was a boy, but now he was more humane and sophisticated. He was full of compliments to this cheap uncle with a bright future.
So much so that An Ning's smile became much more sincere.
Lin Zhixiu was in her courtyard. She was a little surprised when she heard that Lin Feng was here. With all the busyness these days, she had completely forgotten about her...
"Third brother!"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Zhixiu and was very excited, "Sister, you seem to be a lot taller!"
The point is, she is so pretty!
Lin Zhixiu said, "The third brother is also tall! He is now an adult! How is it? Is your studies going well?"
Lin Feng said, "I was selected as a scholar. My ranking is not low, but I'm not among the top either... I'm ashamed!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Our hometown has been a place where talented people have emerged since ancient times. If you are not at the bottom, you are pretty good!"
An Ning said, "Brothers and sisters, let's chat while uncle goes and asks someone to prepare food!"
The brother and sister sat down, and Lin Feng talked about his affairs, big and small.
Lin Zhixiu also talked about his own affairs, especially the recent encounter at the Lin family.
Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this. "No wonder...my grandfather only asked me to kowtow outside my grandmother's yard and didn't even go in to meet him! My aunt didn't see it either. Are they crazy? Why?"
Lin Zhixiu said calmly, "Huang's because of hatred, Yuan's because of wealth. And the old lady, maybe because of anger, but also because of their instigation. Huang has already designed to harm me once, but failed. This matter is not over yet." After all, don’t relax when you go home. Be extra careful when interacting with Lin Tang..."
Lin Feng said, "Then, should we take the initiative to deal with her?"
Lin Zhixiu looked at him and felt relieved. At least, he was not stupid or simple, or weak and could be bullied. "I'm waiting for a piece of news. Let's talk about it after it's confirmed."
Lin Feng said, "If there is anything you want me to do, just speak."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Okay. I'm going to the palace soon. Now... let me explain this to you." She took a box from the shelf, "Here is the property left by your father. My uncle also returned I helped you buy a house in the capital. Look, here is the voucher. There are also two shops... These three places are currently rented out, with an annual income of nearly 1,200 taels. There are also these banknotes. tickets and some properties in my hometown. This is the general ledger..."
She handed it over.
Lin Feng did not refuse and took it, breathing heavily and feeling a little excited.
Lin Zhixiu said, "You can't own private property now. These properties are currently in the name of your uncle. Therefore, it will be handed over to you when you get married. When it is handed over to you, my grandfather and uncle will also give it to you."
I have to explain, but you can take these things away now, collect the rent yourself, and decide how to use them."
Lin Feng said, "I do know how to look at these accounts. However, for now, I still have to focus on my studies. It will be cheaper to take over after I get the Jinshi, or at least the imperial examination. For now, I will let my uncle go."
Come here! Or you, sister, can help my brother take care of things. When I come back, my grandfather gave me some money, but I don’t need anything on weekdays."
When Lin Zhixiu heard this, she didn't refuse, "That's fine... Then this list is for you. I guess I will mention your marriage when I come back this time. When you get married, you can give it to your sister-in-law."
!”
Lin Feng said, "Let's see then! I still don't know... what it's like!"
Lin Zhixiu smiled secretly, "Just follow what brother wants!"
Lin Feng said, "Sister, are you willing to get married?"
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "Wang Cheng and I have known each other before. His family also has some business dealings with his uncle. It can be said that we are relatively close, but this name..."
Lin Feng said, "You are now the head of the county, and your uncle has a high official position. In the future, if I stand up again, you have nothing to fear!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Well, third brother, don't worry! My sister can always live a good life."
After Lin Feng left, Lin Zhixiu said to her uncle, "Uncle, this is my biological brother, but why...can't I get close to him?!"
An Ning said, "It's all his aunt's fault! Huh, she should be killed! She might still be a trouble in the future!"
Lin Zhixiu sighed and said nothing.
An Ning said, "You are quite good to him!" He looked at the box.
