The next day, Li Cheng accompanied Lin Zhixiu back home.
He is still riding the big black horse.
There were four cars around, the first one was occupied by Lin Zhixiu, and the second one was occupied by Lin Zhixiu's girls.
There were two cars behind, carrying loads of gifts.
There are four guards at the front and rear. They are all soldiers. Eight energetic young men, all riding yellow horses.
This group of people attracted the attention of many people on the road.
"How majestic! Who is this?"
"It must be a prince..."
Lin Zhixiu was dressed particularly gorgeously today. She wore a heavy dress with wide sleeves, large flowers embroidered with gold and silver threads, and shoes embroidered with silver threads.
The jewelry on her head was randomly selected from the many jewelry Li Cheng gave her... blood-red rubies, more than a dozen in size...
One of them is hung by a thin silver chain, hanging next to the forehead. It has been trembling slightly and shining in all directions.
When she was in the boudoir, the quality, shape and workmanship of the jewelry she wore were all outstanding.
But not many are as showy as today.
It made her whole body shine with brilliance and eye-catching beauty.
Her demeanor also changed from a delicate daughter in the boudoir to a noble and pretentious lady.
In the Lin family's front yard, the men gathered, talking and waiting for someone.
The relationship between Lin Feng and Lin Song was very good. For a while, the two of them were not idle, muttering quietly about a certain homework.
Lin Song found a good position, not far from home and not too busy.
What the second eldest brother of the Lin family needs most is that Lin Song is a Jinshi and an official. This is the support of the second eldest brother. We can't really expect him to achieve much because of his frail body.
It's up to Lin Bai's son to set up the family. In two months, Lin Bai will also get married.
Lin Bai, who had learned to speak glibly outside, came back. At this moment, he was flattering the old man, Lin Ji and Lin Hui, making the three of them very happy and laughing.
Ringer looked at this and that, with a smile on his face.
Lin Tang stood aside gloomily, unconsciously grabbing something. Before his marriage, he lost a lot of money. The old man found out and locked him up. In addition, after getting married, the family kept a close eye on him, so he had no time to go out again.
Things between his parents annoyed him to death.
Seeing that his family valued Lin Zhixiu so much, he was even more unhappy, but he couldn't help it.
The two sons-in-law of the Lin family, Yan Jun and Shen Jing, were also there.
While everyone was joking, the old man pulled Yan Jun aside and asked Aunt Zhong in a low voice about giving birth to a child. Yan Jun couldn't help but be touched. No matter what happened to Lin Jiangwan, the old man Lin could always be impartial... He whispered back
Father-in-law.
Lin Jiangwan walked through the front yard and went directly to see the old lady.
The eldest nephew's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, came to the Moon Gate to greet her, greeted her politely, and then accompanied her to the backyard.
Lin Jiangwan originally didn't have a deep impression of this niece-in-law, nor could she say she was good or bad.
Looking at her calm and respectful look, I was a little satisfied, "Is your mother feeling better?"
Are you dead or not?!
Mrs. Liu whispered, "Aunt, at my mother's side...my father-in-law has invited Dr. Liu to diagnose his pulse. He has taken medicine and is resting in the room."
Didn't say whether it was good or bad.
Lin Jiangwan nodded in her mind, she could calm down. This Yuan family must have suffered a big setback in the shipping matter! Haha, God has eyes!
She felt much better and asked Mrs. Liu with concern, "You suddenly got involved in family affairs and encountered many major events. Can you still cope with it?"
Ms. Liu said, "Thank you, aunt, for caring about me. I still have to use the people who are in charge of the family. If I don't understand something, my fourth aunt can help me. In front of me, the old man and my father-in-law are not picky about their nephew and daughter-in-law... and nothing big happened."
wrong!"
Lin Jiangwan said, "Well! You are young, listen more and do more, and you will be fine!"
In fact, she always felt sad because her mother-in-law was still in charge of the Yan family.
I was angry at that time and handed over the bill. Later I realized how awkward it was to have no power. Even going out was inconvenient.
It made her feel empty, and she vaguely felt that only if Aunt Zhong gave birth successfully would she be able to get it back...
Thinking of this, my heart felt painful again.
The old lady was sitting alone in the side hall in a daze, watching Lin Jiangwan come in.
Mother and daughter looked at each other, and both of them felt a little sad in their hearts: They have aged a lot.
The old lady looked at the way Lin Jiangwan looked at her, and said with a wry smile, "Forget it! You don't have to look at me like that! Tell me the good news about your empress..."
Lin Jiangwan said, "Well, my daughter is very happy after knowing about Xin'er!"
The old lady said, "I'll ask you later if there is anything special you want to eat, and let your elder brother find a way to send it in." This is the advantage of having a good relationship with the emperor.
Lin Jiangwan said, "Yes. The queen said everything is fine and she has no reaction."
The old lady nodded, "Your Majesty is so smart, she sold such a good boy to Xiu Yatou!"
Lin Jiangwan said, "Hmph...who let that damn girl be King Cheng's treasure?"
The old lady sneered, "The beauty is old, my kindness is over! Didn't we meet mother and daughter? How could she be able to hide away! Just watch!"
Lin Jiangwan suddenly smiled, "Mom, is that Yuan family involved in the shipping business?"
The old lady said, "No one has told me about this until now. But, depending on her temperament, well, most likely..."
Lin Jiangwan sneered and said, "On weekdays, she takes advantage of everything, and she always behaves as a matter of course! The problem of losing money even when walking without picking up money, this time, she was cured in one go!!"
The old lady looked at Lin Jiangwan's refreshed look, shook her head and said, "Do you think this is a good thing? At home... Lin Qiao hasn't gotten engaged yet, and there is a problem with her mother's dowry. What will she do in the future?"
Lin Jiangwan smiled beautifully and said, "You deserve it! Let me tell you, not only her, but those few pieces of materials from the Yuan family must have also participated. They are grasshoppers on a rope! No one can jump away!"
The old lady got upset when she thought about it, "Come on, don't talk about her. Anyway, I can't help her. Oh, this news is really good! This is the biggest good news in such a long time!"
Lin Jiangwan's expression also softened, "Yeah! If she wants to win the man this time..." Her eyes lit up, "The empress is very thoughtful. She chose to expose her when that damn girl entered the palace, and she also said she was a damn girl.
You are blessed to win over Cheng Wang without any hesitation! Tsk, my empress’ eyesight is so far away..."
The old lady said, "Don't let the girl be too long and the girl be too short. If your father hears it, he will have to say it! In this regard, I am much better than you! Look, how beautifully you do this! You, you are not as good as your own family."
daughter!"
After hearing this, Lin Jiangwan nodded in agreement, "I know! Isn't this in front of you?"
The old lady asked, "How is Aunt Zhong doing in your house?"
Lin Jiangwan's face darkened, "Don't mention her to me!"
The old lady said, "Look, you're here again! When did this happen? Are you still arguing like this?"
Lin Jiangwan’s head twisted!
The old lady said, "Think carefully, if it were the empress who was doing this, what would she do?"
Lin Jiangwan was stunned for a moment and curled his lips again.
The old lady said patiently, "If Aunt Zhong gives birth to a son, you should receive the name and teach him personally. Take advantage of the situation and get the housekeeper's rights back! This son will be well cultivated. In the future, he will control the Yan family and control the Yan family."
For the use of our little Highness!"
Lin Jiangwan looked at the old lady and felt even more dissatisfied. You know everything? But how did you treat the second brother? How did you treat the fourth brother?
Obviously if they get along well, the Lin family can move up a level!
It can be seen that this person... always says that it is easy for others, but it is difficult for him!
She curled her lips and said, "Let's talk about it later! How do you know that she is destined to have a son? What if she is a girl?! Is she worthy of my promotion?! What a dream!"
The old lady took one look and realized that if the girl didn't recognize her clearly, no matter how hard she tried to persuade her, it would be useless. "Anyway, I've already said what I said. Don't wait until then and you say that I, a mother-in-law, didn't try to persuade you on a good path."
Lin Jiangwan was even more unhappy: "Mom, don't think about it, will Yan Jun agree to keep my son for my mother? Aunt Zhong is a concubine brought in by her mother-in-law! With her as her biological mother, the little bastard can agree with her wholeheartedly."
Is it right for me? What benefits can I get from all the hard work? Once you’ve cultivated it, you might just swallow me up!”
When the old lady heard that it was indeed possible, she stopped talking.
Lin Jiangwan stopped talking about this and asked, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Humph, I'll just be quiet for two days! Hey, your father has been much softer to me since the good news came from my mother-in-law. That damn girl has already been married off. If she doesn't make trouble,
Slowly, everything will be fine for me!"
Lin Jiangwan hummed in her heart, didn't you also call her a dead girl?
Someone spoke at the door, Lin Zhifang came.
She walked in carefully with a scent. When she looked at the door, she saw that Mrs. Yuan was not here either, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
When Mrs. Lin saw her coming, she immediately laughed and said, "Oh, girl Fang is here. But be careful. How are you?"
Lin Zhifang stepped forward and saluted, "Grandma, aunt. Everything is fine with Zhifang. You don't have to worry about it! Grandma and aunt are both in such good spirits today! Is it because of the good news about the empress?!"
Lin Jiangwan also had huge opinions on this niece! But seeing what she said, it was hard to be awkward. He said softly, "Sit down quickly. Do you also know the news about the empress?"
Lin Zhifang smiled and said, "Such good news, I heard it as soon as I walked in!"
Lin Jiangwan looked at Lin Zhifang, whose pregnancy was not yet obvious, "In the blink of an eye, it's all you brothers and sisters who have given birth!"
The old man had already told the old lady, so she told Lin Zhifang, "Your mother is not very well. She can't come out today. Ordinarily, you, a daughter, should go and have a look. But you are pregnant now."
, it would be troublesome for you if she gets sick. She will feel better after two days..."
Lin Zhifang protected her smile and said, "Yes, grandma." But her voice trembled slightly and her smile was a little forced.
That day, she heard about the shipping incident. Seeing her mother's expression, she asked Shen Jing to inquire about it when she returned home.
Shen Jing struggled for a long time and asked...
When she came back and said it, Lin Zhifang's heart went cold!
She knew that her mother had done it, and her mother encouraged her several times. She gave her mother three thousand taels of silver...
Although she persuaded her mother for a long time not to invest too much at once.
But she didn't know if her mother heard it.
If she invests too much, or even touches things she shouldn't! Then it will be really troublesome.
So in the past two days, she couldn't eat well or sleep well. Looking at the situation today, something big might have happened... She felt a little chilly.
At this time, Mrs. Liu came, with her nanny, "Grandma, aunt! Sister!" After saluting, she smiled and said, "Everything is ready! The old man is coming to the backyard."
The old lady stood up and said, "Let's go to the main hall!" Several women followed her.
When we arrived at the main hall, the old lady hadn't arrived yet.
Old Mrs. Lin Er is here, sitting there with a spring breeze on her face. Her clothes and jewelry are much more refined than before. When she saw Old Mrs. Lin coming in, she also had an unyielding smile on her face!
Old Mrs. Lin was secretly resentful, why did she let it happen?
God is unfair!
Also sitting there are Mr. Huang and Lin Zhirong, sisters Lin Zhiying, Mr. Yao and Lin Zhi's wife.
Yao's belly has become visible, but she still maintains her original low profile. However, I'm afraid no one in the Lin family dares to look down on her.
Lin Jiangwan was shocked when he saw Huang.
Mrs. Huang's face was so thin that her face was a bit slumped. The clothes were new, with light color and thick material. But maybe... they were originally made. She suddenly became thinner, and when she wore them, she looked a little slutty.
His face was stiff and his eyes were hard and sinister.
The original elegance and calmness were gone.
Next to her, Lin Zhirong had several pimples on his face, which were red and swollen and could not be covered with powder. His previous romantic and elegant appearance was gone.
This Lin family is really evil... Lin Jiangwan thought...
Mrs. Huang, it was indeed bad. In the past two days, she had no chance to leave the house to inquire about news, so she kept staring at Lin Ji.
Yesterday, I saw Lin Ji came back, his face was ashen, and he went straight to Yuan's yard. Then, there was no movement at all...
On days like today, Yuan didn't even show up.
That's the matter of shipping, it's more dangerous than bad...
All this is just like a dream. Huang hopes that this is a dream and everything will be fine when she wakes up.
However, this is not a dream... it is a real and cruel reality.
Years of accumulation, all cleared up in one day...
She is the third daughter-in-law in the house, her husband is useless, and her social life is limited. When she has money, she often feels like she has nowhere to spend it...
But it’s really gone…the sky is falling!
She lost...
At first, I lost to Bitch An. Now, I lost to Bitch An’s daughter.
She tried hard to control herself, just because she was afraid that when she saw that dead girl, she would rush up and scratch her to death!
There was a cough at the door, and the old man came in, with Lin beside him.
It was just the two of them, no other men were there.
All the women, led by the old lady, saluted the old man.
The old man smiled and said, "Everyone, sit down!"
The old lady asked "Where are they!"
The old man said, "His Royal Highness, King Cheng, is in front."
The old lady felt sour in her heart, wasn't she? He was a prince, not an ordinary son-in-law!
But lately, she has been a little afraid of the old man, so she doesn't dare to show off her face, let alone speak more.
The old man saw Lin Jiangwan and said, "Jiang Wan, go back and hand over the post and go see the empress!"
Lin Jiangwan agreed, "Yes, dad."
After a while, there was a noise at the door of the courtyard, full of people talking and laughing.
The girl at the door came and said, "The old man, the old lady, His Highness King Cheng and the third girl are here!"
The old man immediately put on a smile, and Lin Ji also stood up with a smile.
Then I saw Li Cheng and Lin Zhixiu coming in.
The men of the Lin family were all following behind.
A large group of people are all smiling...
The old man looked at it, and it was obvious that his children and grandchildren were surrounding him to become the king.
However, he felt that all of them, including King Cheng himself, were surrounding his granddaughter...
This feeling is different from the way Yan Jun felt towards Lin Jiangwan back then.
Lin Jiangwan was as bright as a thousand suns, with an arrogant appearance and a proud heart, but his bones were a little weak. Therefore, he worried about gains and losses when dealing with Yan Jun.
As for Lin Zhixiu, she is gentle and charming, with a strong heart, a kind of determination that will not be affected by others.
The thought flashed through, and the old man smiled deeply. This granddaughter is quite capable!
Amid the smiling faces of everyone, the newlyweds greeted the old man and the old lady and said, "Good luck, old man."
Li Cheng's status is extraordinary, and Lin Zhixiu is not a royal concubine, so Li Cheng is not easy to call.
It happened that Lin Zhixiu didn't want to call the old lady "grandmother" anymore, so the two of them collectively called the old lady and old lady.
The old man stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty and Concubine, please don't be polite. Please sit down quickly!"
Li Chengqing helped Lin Zhixiu sit down.
Let’s look at each other, do we need help?
As for that!
Everyone turned to look at Lin Zhixiu again.
With her stunning face, luxurious attire, and elegant demeanor, she sat there without anyone paying attention.
The handsome prince next to him focused all his attention on her. Every time he looked at her, he smiled almost flatteringly.
This is simply... so outrageous!
Lin Ji was the most angry and didn't know what to do... If the emperor saw this scene...
But what to do!?
How come he has no future!?
Everyone sat down, and the old man said a few polite words: "Your Highness, this girl Zhixiu has not grown up in the capital, so some of her ideas and habits are not in line with those in the capital. Especially, if she enters the palace in the future, the rules may be even worse.
More! I hope your Highness, you, will be more tolerant of her. Find a suitable nanny and give her some guidance so that she can integrate in as soon as possible."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Old Master, you don't have to be polite. Axiu is smart and virtuous, and she behaves well! When she entered the palace that day, Axiu handled everything very well! Her father valued her very much! Her mother also gave her good gifts! Several empresses
Not to mention... Moreover, she is very beautiful and dresses so well that all the ladies are dumbfounded hahahaha!"
The old man had already heard about the "Pearl Shirt" incident. He shook his head and said to himself, this is what I am worried about.
This girl really refuses to suffer any loss.
You have to be so arrogant, but what good will this do to you?
But Li Cheng was so happy that the old man couldn't say much.
Li Cheng went on to say, "Originally, I wanted Axiu to take charge of the house as soon as she entered the house. Uncle Dong had already prepared everything. But Xiu'er said that she had a lot of things on her hands, so she would let Uncle Dong take care of it first and wait for her to finish it.
Let’s talk about it after we’ve sorted out our own affairs…”
He wanted to express to the Lin family that he valued Lin Zhixiu very much.
The old lady, Lin Jiangwan, and other women were stunned for a moment...
Let Lin Zhixiu take charge?
What should I do if the princess enters the palace?!
Lin immediately knew that Uncle Dong in Prince Cheng's Mansion was the closest person to Prince Cheng. Since Prince Cheng said this, he was definitely not just showing off, but really wanted Zhixiu to take care of it. God...
He doesn’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse!
So he smiled gently and said, "My lord, after all, Xiu'er is young and has never been involved in big things. Cheng Wangfu's family has a big business and many connections, so I handed it over to her all at once. I'm afraid that it will delay the business and she will be too burdened. Or, slowly,
Come on better..."
Li Cheng disagreed, "My family has a small population, and there are no elders around me on weekdays. She has the final say on how to live this day. It doesn't matter whether she is wrong or wrong! What's more, A Xiu doesn't
There will be times when you are wrong!”
The old man and Lin Ji grinned, "Okay! Let it be whatever you say!"
Old Mrs. Lin Er nodded, "Concubine, you may look like a delicate little girl, but you are also very capable! Prince, just leave it to her, no problem!"
Li Chengdian said, "My uncle and aunt said yes!"
Old Mrs. Lin glanced at the second old lady bitterly, why did she call her great-uncle?
People who harbor ill will toward Lin Zhixiu would think... How could she be so virtuous and capable that she could live such a life?
Lin Zhifang secretly glanced at her husband. He was shaking his head and laughing coquettishly. It looked and felt very interesting! He even agreed!
When thinking about marrying into the Yan family, I have always been cautious. I think about everything in the morning and again in the evening... What does this mean to me? I feel uncontrollably depressed.
Next, everyone joked and sat down at the table. The men of the Lin family accompanied Li Cheng and drank to their heart's content!
As for Lin Zhixiu, what she had to do in the Lin family was basically finished. Some things were just waiting for the results.
She ate slowly and nonchalantly, releasing her sense of superiority at will.
The old lady saw this and found it displeasing to both her eyes and her heart. Then she discovered with great sadness that now, she could neither scold nor show her face, nor could she turn around and leave.
After working around for a lifetime, when I got old, I became what I am now.
The delicious food on the table seemed to be wrapped in wax and had no taste at all.
The men were changing glasses, but the women had closed the table early.
Mr. Huang was going to make a fool of himself if he stayed any longer. He couldn't even deal with it, so he left with a sullen face. Lin Zhirong followed closely behind.
Finally, Li Cheng and Lin Zhixiu said goodbye to the old man and the old lady and left.
Lin immediately took his son and nephew to the gate in person.
Li Chengjiu, whose face turned slightly red after drinking wine, followed Lin Zhixiu considerately and helped her get into the car himself.
Lin Zhixiu was not shy either. She put her little hand on his big hand and enjoyed his care as a matter of course.
Lin Ji turned his head and didn't look! Decided one day to complain to the emperor first, so as to avoid the emperor scolding him in the future!
Li Cheng rode on his big black horse, saluted Lin Ji and the others with clasped fists, and took his beloved Axiu home.
Many people were watching the excitement at the door, so no one noticed that there was a Wu Ni car parked on one side of the alley. The car curtain opened a crack, and there was an eye staring blankly at Li Cheng and Lin Zhixiu...
