144 Compromise(1/2)

"I don't agree!"

After the old lady Lin emphasized it last, she shook her sleeves and rushed into the inner room angrily. Lin Shijia looked at everyone present - her mother was not there, her third uncle was not there, and her aunt was not there, and Chen Wanzhi was shy about her. I wonder what she was thinking... In desperation, she had to chase her in.

Lin Yijia looked at the shaking pearl curtain and asked worriedly: "Mom, look at this... Didn't the old lady agree before? Why did she suddenly get such a big temper? Otherwise, let's ask my aunt to persuade me again?"

Thinking of Lin Yuan'er lying on the bed in a nasty mood, Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "Don't worry. Mom has a way." Her eyes looked over Chen Wanzhi, Li Yueying, and Lin Chang'er, and finally fell on her beloved little daughter, and said softly: "The election will be underway soon, you can prepare well."

Several girls agreed unevenly.

Mrs. Lin asked Li Yueying again, "Yueying, you have passed the primary election. Do you need to go home and wait for the election? Your mother should be very worried about you."

Li Yueying Yingying bowed and shook her head and said, "Please agree with the eldest lady. If Yueying is the one who wants to let Yueying go with her cousins. Yueying is only at a loss in the Li family, and Yueying is really at a loss. For my mother, Yueying will just go home for a trip."

Only one Li Qingyan in the second wife of the Li family ran for the election. She was also under thirteen years old, so she didn't need to go back to Beijing if she was not selected. Moreover, what is the Li family? The news in the Lin family is smooth enough. Besides, Mrs. Lin never stingy. She would give Li Yueying the same portion of whatever she prepared for the two girls of the Lin family. Although Mrs. Lin did not prepare carefully, she was much better than what the Li family could take.

Mrs. Lin was not willing to spend her thoughts on Li Yueying. When she heard what she said, she nodded and said, "It's good. Then you can stay there with peace of mind."

After saying that, everyone dispersed.

Soon, Yanzhi appeared in front of Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin slowly tapped the table with his fingers, and then many said, "Yanzhi, go and find some secrets with the old lady, and say that the one who contacted the eldest aunt. However, the Lin Mansion is very tightly guarded and inconvenient. If the eldest aunt arrives at the village, it will be much more convenient no matter what she does."

Yanzhi was shocked, looked up quickly at Mrs. Lin, and responded in a low voice.

A day later, when everyone went to pay tribute to the old lady, the old lady called Mrs. Lin and said, "I have thought about it repeatedly. What everyone said makes sense. It's not a big deal for Yuan'er to be bored in the mansion. It's better to go out and live for a while..."

Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile and said, "I just said that the old lady loves my aunt the most. She will definitely think about her health."

Old Mrs. Lin nodded with great satisfaction, even her attitude was much more kind. After saying a few words, everyone dispersed.

Lin Yijia was surprised: How could you persuade everyone? Why did the old lady's attitude change suddenly? In the past, no one could persuade her to turn back when she was diagnosed with the old lady. She became particularly stubborn after she became sick these few times...

She couldn't figure it out, so she went to ask Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin didn't want to say that what Lin Yuan'er did was really not something that a little girl could hear. What's more, that person was still a very close relative. In a word, Mrs. Lin felt embarrassed and could not speak to her daughter.

Lin Yijia immediately looked pitiful and shook Mrs. Lin's sleeve and begged: "Mom, do you think Xiaoliu is too stupid, so you don't want to teach Xiaoliu? But if you don't want to teach Xiaoliu, wouldn't Xiaoliu become more and more stupid?"

"Xiao Liu is going to participate in the talent show. Is there anything else I can't know?" Lin Yijia whispered: "I always hear that those ladies look gentle and gentle, but their methods are very powerful... Xiao Liu thinks about it and feels scared. If you don't teach Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu will definitely be fooled and used like a fool..."

Lin Yijia mentioned the talent show, which undoubtedly touched Mrs. Lin's nerves again. Lin Shiqing said that Lin Yijia was not on the list of re-examinations, and it was definitely not a word to comfort her. She must have received accurate news. Judging from the re-examinations she knew, there were only two or three girls under thirteen years old in the country. I heard that they were both talented and beautiful, and the two children of the Lin family were qualified to pass! But after the result, they still passed...

If there was nothing in between, Mrs. Lin would never believe it! And the problem must have been drawn by this aunt in the family! Otherwise, there would not be so many twists and turns!

Thinking of this, and thinking about the complex situation Lin Yijia was about to face, Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, let Lin Yijia sit next to her, and said slowly: "No matter how much I am, I can say it..."

Lin Yuan'er had an affair with that girl. Although the girls had some speculations, they all subconsciously did not dare to think deeper. Lin Yijia was the same. First, Lin Yuan'er was an elder; second, her behavior was really... which made them dare not think about it. Therefore, they all suppressed their curiosity and consciously did not pay attention to anything about Lin Yuan'er.

But now, Lin Yijia doesn't think so anymore - if he always escapes... would he still be as ignorant as those ten years?

"The old lady's mind is always to prove her vision and position, and to prove that she can earn wealth and glory without relying on the Lin family or the old man. Well, because of the opposition between Wen Xian and the old man, Lin Yuan'er missed the position of queen, and made the Lin family miss a huge fortune and became a family of middle-class officials. The old lady has always looked down on Mr. Lin and the Lin family in her heart."

"So many years have passed, and seeing that the old lady is above and in control of the world, the regrets and obsessions in her heart are getting deeper and deeper. After your aunt returns to Shengjing at her request, haha, the old lady's mind is active again."

"Auntie has already married..." Lin Yijia murmured.

Mrs. Lin showed a hint of mocking: "How can you see these in the old lady's eyes?... What she was thinking about was how to climb up with that person."

The old lady's brain is already ill? Didn't she know that once Lin Yuan'er takes a wrong step according to her meaning, she will be despised by thousands of people? That is her biological daughter!

"After so many years of obsession, the old lady is already crazy. She never takes a step out of the Lin Mansion. There is only such a big place in her life. How could she consider the criticism outside? She must have never even thought about it..." Mrs. Lin sighed: "I just made people reveal that it is more convenient to act in the village, so she couldn't wait to agree to your aunt going out..."

Lin Yijia was silent.

After being locked in a small courtyard for a long time, it turns out that people will become so terrible and unreasonable.

Mrs. Lin hugged Lin Yijia and whispered: "When I think you will be selected into the palace, my mother is so scared... Not to mention that it is a place where everyone tramples on people, I just think that that person will touch my baby daughter. My mother wishes she could kill her..."

"Mom!" Lin Yijia hugged Mrs. Lin, who was obviously out of control, and said softly: "Mom, don't worry. In this world, I don't know how many women want to enter the palace, and there are only so many places. Someone will definitely help her daughter to clean up."

"I'm afraid that that person will not let us go..." Mrs. Lin was not optimistic.

"So, mom, have you given your aunt to him?" Lin Yijia asked in a low voice.

Lin Yijia obviously felt Mrs. Lin's body tremble. She only heard Mrs. Lin grit her teeth and said, "Yes! Since they did not forget their old love, they insisted on being together, so mother will not be the ones who defended the way! Send your aunt out and our Lin family will compromise!"

After getting Lin Yuan'er, should he still hold on to the Lin Mansion? He just was unwilling to let go of the Lin Mansion's face twenty years ago? Today, he is not as good as others. Then just step on him! As long as he no longer bites his daughter and refuses to let go!

If he was still dissatisfied with the fact that he refused to let Xiao Liu go... Mrs. Lin clenched her fists and her eyes shone with a fierce light.

At this time, Old Mrs. Lin also came to Lin Yuan'er's room.

Lin Yuan'er was still lying on the bed, her hair was loose and her face was pale. Because she was sick, there was no ice in her room, and the windows were only a little open, which was very stuffy. However, Lin Yuan'er seemed to have no feeling that she had not seen any sweat on her body. Instead, she wrapped her weak body with a thin quilt.

It was dusk, and there was no trace of wind.

The wooden boards in the Zhuanshou Paijing were rinsed with clean water, but it did not reduce much heat. When Mrs. Lin walked from the upper room to the west wing with difficulty, she had already sweated slightly on her forehead and nose. It seemed that she was particularly afraid of heat this year.

Lin Yuan'er's room, which is not airtight and does not let ice, is simply a steamer for Mrs. Lin.

She just wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, but immediately sweat came out of her skin. This made her eyes a little hazy, so she could not see Lin Yuan'er's weak look lying on the bed clearly.

"Old lady, aunt cannot be affected by the wind, do you see?" Madam Xia was a little embarrassed.

Old Mrs. Lin could only sit a little further and let Madam Xia put down the curtain of the bed. Then, Yanzhi could suffocate her. Old Mrs. Lin was young and in poor health, and her eyes were already a little bad. At this time, a layer of gauze was separated, and she couldn't see Lin Yuan'er's expression.

"Yuan'er, what do you think?" Old Mrs. Lin asked with concern.

Lin Yuan'er moved and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Old Mrs. Lin said with relief: "I'm relieved if you're happy. I heard from the eldest daughter-in-law that you were going to go immediately. It's really... She wanted to drive away all the annoying ones, and only the mothers left in the house to be happy! Really..."

Old Mrs. Lin complained for a long time, and spoke without any mercy. Lin Yuan'er felt tired and couldn't help but explain: "Sister-in-law asked me to go to the village to recuperate because of my health. Mother, don't be too careful."

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Lin seemed to remember her purpose.

She wiped the sweat that kept coming out of her head, leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "Yuan'er, are you and the emperor... Are you, are you already that?

Lin Yuan'er lay on the bed without making any noise.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Lin thought Lin Yuan'er had made a promise, and her face showed a happy smile, clapped her hands gently, and said proudly: "I knew! My Yuan'er is so good, then the emperor will never forget you! Well, Yuan'er, what did he tell you?"

Lin Yuan'er still didn't say anything.

Old Mrs. Lin didn't care and said to herself: "Yuan'er, mom tells you... You are now married, so you must not be able to enter the palace. But even if he is the emperor, we can't take advantage of us for nothing... Men's friendship is unreliable, and you are not young anymore..."

"Mom!" Lin Yuan'er listened to the harsh and irritable, and couldn't help but raise her voice slightly and said, "What do you want to say?"

Old Mrs. Lin did not realize the displeasure of her daughter and said excitedly: "Mom means, while he is still thinking about you, don't be stupid and not speak up. You must get enough benefits! Mom is useless. She never gets an imperial decree in her life. She goes out and makes people laugh at her. Your brother has been studying for so many years and has only become a scholar. When will he become an official? The eldest brother has been an official for more than ten years and has been a fourth-rank rank. I don't know when I will see it... You have suffered so many grievances..."

"Mom!" Lin Yuan'er could no longer listen and said, "Mom. I'm going to rest."

"Okay, okay, rest, rest." Old Mrs. Lin Yanzhi helped her up. After seeing Yanzhi squat in her ears for a few times, Old Mrs. Lin said again: "Yuan'er, mother, look at you, there are no proud people around you. How can only one Aunt Xia be enough? Yanzhi is a capable person, so I will serve you in the future."

Lin Yuan'er responded lazily.

Only then did the old lady Lin leave with satisfaction while sweating.

When Madam Xia sent someone back to Lin Yuan'er, when she lifted the curtain of the bed, Lin Yuan'er was already in tears. Madam Xia looked at it and advised: "The old lady doesn't know the lady's illness. It's just because the girl is just a cold wind, so she doesn't... Miss, don't be too sad."

Lin Yuan'er didn't respond, just closed her eyes.

The next morning, she only brought Aunt Xia and Yanzhi, and did not say goodbye to the others. She then boarded a carriage and accompanied Lin Shiqing out of Shengjing City.

Zhuangzi is not far from Shengjing. They set off early in the morning and the car was walking slowly, and it was at noon.

Xiaozhuangzi could see Xiangshan from afar, and his vision was very wide. Because there were a few small hot springs inside, the temperature was a bit high at this time, and it was difficult for ordinary people to stay there. But considering Lin Yuan'er's physical weakness and fear of chills, she still lived at this time.

A hundred steps away from this village, there is a small village. Therefore, this small courtyard seems to be independent and not desolate. In the past, there are all kinds of large and small courtyards. Because they are all built by the spring, they appear a little crowded. In this way, this courtyard seems to be pure.

The inside and outside the house are clean and the furniture is mostly brand new.

By the time they arrived, a woman in her thirties had already brought two girls in her teens to bring hot tea and hot meals.

"Considering that you shouldn't have many people, and building a big garden will make it empty and unsafe, I only built such a small courtyard. If Yuan'er doesn't like it, I'll just ask someone to look for it again."

"It's very good here, it's a big brother's worries." Lin Yuan'er said sincerely.

"It's good that you like it." Lin Shiqing introduced the two women again and said, "This is Mrs. Zhang, the cook I hired from the village, and she also does some rough work. But she stays here at night. If you think this place is a little empty, I will send you some help after I return to Beijing."

Lin Yuan'er shook her head and said, "This is already great."

This place is an important place in the capital, close to the official road, and there are mostly villages of the powerful and noble families in Shengjing. I think the security is good, but no one dares to steal. Besides, she came here... in such a convenient place, why would that person not come? If he came, would she still think there were few people who knew about her affairs?

After Lin Shiqing accompanied Lin Yuan'er and simply used the meal, Lin Shiqing was about to leave, and Lin Yuan'er called him.

"Brother." Lin Yuan'er whispered: "I want to live with you, what do you think?"

"Heli?" Lin Shiqing was stunned for a moment, signaled her to sit down, and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about Qingzhi's Peace? Well, they are boys, they are not young, and they can always live a marriage in the future... But what about Wanzhi? You proposed Heli at this time, how can she get married? How can she live in her husband's family after getting married?"

"I know," Lin Shiqing frowned and said, "Because of Chen Zhenyi, you are not very concerned about these children. But no matter what, they are always the flesh that falls from you! Qingzhi and Peace are good children!"

"But I am like this now..." Lin Yuan'er closed her eyes and cried, saying, "My sister-in-law is right. If someone knows me, my reputation will be even worse... I feel like I am..." She couldn't even say some words, but she did it.

Lin Shiqing thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I still don't agree with you and Li."

"If that person was someone else, if there was a little shadow, the rumors would have drowned you long ago. But that person was that person, so everyone would not dare to mention it." Lin Shiqing laughed at himself: "Even myself is afraid of offending that person, and pretending to be deaf and dumb."

"His identity is destined to be no one dares to speak out, so it will never spread." Lin Shiqing said: "And several children are surnamed Chen. If you are afraid of hurting them, it is okay to send them to Jiangnan, back to Fuzhou, or even to Chen Zhenyi. And if you are with you, you will be destined to be paid attention to and discussed by everyone. More importantly, that person wants to save face. I am afraid that you will not like you to be so arrogant."

Lin Shiqing thought that even the children didn’t know yet, and it would be a day to hide it.

And Emperor Jing He has always been self-disciplined as a wise ruler. If it were rumored that he would never forget his old love and a married woman, wouldn’t his image fall sharply? I believe Emperor Jing He should not want to see such a thing happening...

Lin Yuan'er murmured and said, "He doesn't like it?"
