Chapter 262
As soon as Cai said this, Lin Wan suddenly raised her eyelids and looked at Lin Wenbo. Could it be that Lin Wenbo had already planned to bring the newcomer in?
Lin Wan's gaze is really substantial, and it is difficult for Lin Wenbo to ignore it.
This child wouldn't think he was ready to take a concubine, right?
Lin Wenbo's eyes couldn't help but meet Lin Wan, and he didn't know whether he should say what he was thinking.
During this period, Lin Wenbo had a profound reflection. He remembered the two of them when they first got married with Luo, and the drifting distance between them and Luo, he did not feel that everything was caused by Gui, but Gui was indeed an important reason for their husband and wife's rebellion.
In the past, Luo was not a particularly jealous person, otherwise Gui would not have been with Lin Wenbo for nearly twenty years.
Of course, Luo is not the kind of virtuous person recognized by the world. Lin Wenbo knew very well that Luo was not willing to share his husband with others.
The acceptance of Gui's family becoming Lin Wenbo's wife was because the elders could not refuse, and the other was because Lin Wenbo once promised Luo's wife that Gui's wife was just a wife.
After all, Lin Wenbo himself failed to discover Gui's ambition in time, and later he could not stand Gui's tearful attack, which made Gui give birth to Lin Na. Fortunately, Lin Na is just a girl.
But even though Lin Na was just a girl, Gui still had so many things. It can be seen that as long as he was an individual, he wanted to climb up. Lin Wenbo didn't know it before, so he gave Gui too many illusions, making Gui stir up the wind and rain in the backyard.
The pain of Luo family also changed the character of Luo family, alienated their relationship with each other, and brought disaster to Lin Wan.
With such a painful lesson, Lin Wenbo planned not to take a concubine anymore. As for physiological needs, there are still two rooms in the study room of the outer courtyard. The two rooms in the study room of the outer courtyard are much more well-behaved and sensible than Gui.
When Luo came back, the two rooms were getting older, so they would find a good family to supplement their dowry and marry them. From then on, the old couple had a good life.
Lin Wan knew that the two maids in Lin Wenbo's study room in the outer academy were actually Lin Wenbo's friends. She even knew that every time Lin Wenbo did something, even if he didn't stare at them and drank the wardrobe soup in person, she would instruct the manager to keep an eye on the matter himself.
It can be seen that Lin Wenbo would not allow someone like Gui to come out.
But Lin Wan is not sure whether Lin Wenbo will take another concubine, and maybe Lin Wenbo will take the opportunity to take a good concubine back.
Compared to having a child with a wife and becoming a concubine, Lin Wan didn't want Lin Wenbo to take a good concubine.
The concubine is a source of disputes in the inner courtyard. Because the concubine is a good citizen and has a formal concubine's documents, no matter how big the mistake she makes, she cannot be beaten or sold casually.
Even a lowly concubine like Gui will fight for power and profit for their children. How can you not be moved when a good concubine has a child? Luo is so... stupid, will it be dangerous then?
Lin Yuan is still so young and so cute, Lin Wan doesn't allow anyone to be unfavorable to Lin Yuan.
Lin Wan knew that men in this era had three wives and four concubines, so she could accept that Lin Wenbo had a wife and four concubines, but she really didn't want Lin Wenbo to take a concubine again, especially a good concubine!
Lin Wan didn't expect that Lin Wenxiu would give herself a surprise today.
Faced with Cai's blame and the illusion that people could make people feel illusions, Lin Wenbo hurriedly defended himself: "It is precisely because his son has not forgotten the origin of Furong Garden and has also kept in mind the previous lessons that he has to demolish Furong Garden. When Luo comes back, his son will live a good life with her and will not take a concubine again."
After hearing Lin Wenbo's words, not only did Lin Wan's eyes lit up, but Lin Hongfei and Lin Hongyu's eyes also flashed with light, especially Lin Hongyu, who could not hide the smile on his face.
Only the young Lin Yuan was unmoved at all, and she only focused on playing with the doll that Lin Wan made for her.
Cai's brows frowned, but they quickly let go.
If Lin Wenbo could really reconcile with Luo Family as before, the Cai Family would naturally be happy to see it.
But I couldn't help feeling sorry for Lin Wenbo. Even if I had a wife around me, a third-rank official and a wife who was not around, I didn't even have a concubine.
never mind!
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them do it themselves.
Lin Wenbo said in person that he would not take concubines again. Lin Hongfei's heart was actually more excited than Lin Wan and Lin Hongyu.
Concubine is an important factor in the unstable situation in the inner house, and Lin Hongfei himself does not plan to take a concubine.
Although he is eighteen years old, he has always been clean and has no room around him.
It’s not that Cai didn’t make arrangements for him. When Lin Hongfei was fifteen years old, Cai gave Lin Hongfei two beautiful maids, but Lin Hongfei politely declined.
At the beginning, Cai thought Lin Hongfei looked down on the appearance of the two maids, so he specially found two more outstanding maids to send to Zhuyuan, but was "returned" by Lin Hongfei again.
Lin Hongfei even bluntly told Cai that he did not need a marriage partner and did not plan to take a concubine in the future.
Even if he has no son at all, he plans to take a concubine. Anyway, he is not the only son in the second wife.
As for his future incense, it is better to choose a good adoptive from the clan.
Lin Hongfei's words made Cai stunned. He said nothing at that time, nor did he refute Lin Hongfei.
But after Lin Hongfei left, Cai wiped his tears and complained to Mrs. Qiao fiercely with Madam Qiao.
This is also an important reason why the Cai family gathered to like An Huijuan.
An Huijuan is very in line with the requirements of this era for her daughter-in-law. She has a big buttocks and a thin waist and is easy to nourish.
Of course, An Huijuan has a good appearance, a good temperament, and a strong ability. Although she is a little older at the age of eighteen, she is better off than a girl of fifteen or sixteen!
In short, An Huijuan met Cai's requirements in all aspects, and Lin Hongfei also liked it, so he naturally wanted to marry him early.
Both Cai, Lin Wan and Lin Hongfei knew very well that An Huijuan would be in charge of the second room after entering the door, and even if Luo came back in the future, there would be no change.
If Lin Wenbo can really not take a concubine from now on, it will be good news for the second wife, and it will be even more great news for An Huijuan, who is destined to become the mistress of the second wife.
Of course, Lin Hongfei was excited, but he never liked it. If Lin Wan hadn't sat opposite Lin Hongfei, she might have noticed the fluctuations in his eyes.
There was no one in the courtyard of the second room. The renovation of Zhuyuan and Ci'anyuan was personally supervised by the main housekeeper of the mansion and the main manager of the second room. Lin Wan focused on following Cai to learn how to prepare a betrothal gift for Lin Hongfei.
Lin Wan really wanted to make face for Lin Hongfei and planned to prepare the best and richest betrothal gift, but she didn't expect that Madam Bai strongly opposed it, and Cai also disagreed.
It’s not that Cai’s stingy family is unwilling to give Lin Hongfei the best one, but that Lin Hongfei is just the eldest son of the second wife. Under the premise that Zhennan Hou’s Mansion has no family separation, his betrothal gift must not exceed the specifications when Lin Hongyun married Yang, otherwise it would be more than the rules.
In addition, we need to consider the actual ability of settling down.
There is a custom here in the capital. How many betrothal gifts are given by the man? The dowry of the woman should be doubled at least 20% higher than the betrothal gift.
Those who love their daughters gave twice the betrothal gift.
An family undoubtedly loves An Huijuan, but An family is a scholarly family. Life cannot be considered as poverty and wealth, but it is still far from being rich.
If Zhennan Hou Mansion gives more betrothal gifts, it will be a heavy burden to the An family.
After Lin Wan understood these principles, she sighed, of course she could only prepare a relatively ordinary betrothal gift for Lin Hongfei according to the meaning of Cai.
