Master Lin of the Red Chamber

"Xiaoqing, go back to the house and rest first, Granny Wang has her own sister to deal with it!"

Hearing the uninterrupted shouting at the door, and the knocking on the door without stopping at all, Lin Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand, exhorted his younger brother helplessly, then got up and went to open the door.

There is no way, although this Granny Wang is not a good person, she is from the same clan after all, and she has not done anything bad to them, so she can't just let the other party stand at the door and knock down, and the influence will not be good.

Seeing that her sister said such a sentence, she ran out to open the door, Lin Qing frowned, threw the chopsticks aside, and followed, this Granny Wang always likes to fool people, don't let yourself be a silly sister , was easily fooled in the past.

Looking at the middle-aged woman standing outside the door, wearing a bright red padded jacket, with a fat face, a big flower on her head, and a thick layer of fat on her face, Lin Qing's eyes were filled with pain. A trace of disgust could not help flashing, this person is really haunting enough.

Relying on the fact that they are of the same clan, they put on the posture of the elders, making irresponsible remarks and pointing fingers, and I don’t know how many unsightly rumors have been spread outside these years. If the patriarch was not there to stop the rumors, then My sister's reputation is uncertain what will become of it.

Now they still have the face to come to the door, and they are stepping on such a place to eat, and want to come here to cheat for food and drink. This is because they are looking at their house to be bullied, so they come over and step on it a few times.

"Grandma Wang, you have something good to do this time, you want to tell us, tell me!"

Looking at Granny Wang who was about to be brought into the house by her sister, Lin Qing stood in the yard with a straight face, directly blocking the other party's way, without the slightest intention of exchanging greetings, and her voice was cold.

After so many years, Lin Qing has already figured out what Granny Wang is like. The great thing the other party said may not be a bolt from the blue to them.

"Ah Qing, don't be so stern, this time is really a good thing, I'm a matchmaker for your sister!"

Looking at Lin Qing standing in the middle of the yard with expressionless face and sharp eyes, thinking of how Lin Qing almost pushed her in front of the patriarch last year and dealt with it according to the clan rules, Granny Wang couldn't help but take a step back with a guilty conscience.

But then, thinking of the thick red envelopes given by that family, and the grandson who was waiting to use the money to go to school at home, Granny Wang bravely stood where she was, forced a smiling face, and said to Lin Qing.

Granny Wang knew in her heart that Lin Qing was offended by the incident last time. Now that the other party saw her and didn't beat her out, he was considered polite, so she didn't force her to enter the house, anyway. Things are the same everywhere.

"A matchmaker? Granny Wang, last time you almost tricked my sister into signing a deed of prostitution and went to work as a servant girl in the Lu Mansion, and now you want to trick my sister somewhere, you really think I, Lin Qing, are easy to bully! "

Seeing Granny Wang licking her face, Lin Qing's heart was filled with anger. He knew that there were such people in this world, and they belonged to the group who were shameless, but when they really met, he Still can't help being laughed at by the other party.

Last year, because of the sale of the contract, he had already torn his face with the other party. Now that the other party can still come to the door, Lin Qing felt that this was already as thick-skinned as a city wall, but he did not expect that he still underestimated this person. That's no shame at all.

"Ah Qing, what happened last time was my fault, but this time my mother-in-law is sincerely acting as a matchmaker for Ah Yu. The second young master of Renlu Mansion said that as long as Ah Yu is willing to marry us, after that, All the bills are in charge of Ah Yu, not to mention the betrothal gift..."

Seeing Lin Qing's icy expression and knife-like eyes, Grandma Wang couldn't help avoiding Lin Qing's gaze, and put her main target on Lin Yu, who was the right one.

Although Lin Qing was selected as a scholar at a young age and was valued by the clan, he was young after all. In this family, it was still up to Lin Yu to decide. She knew this girl, she was strong and smart.

But as long as you are human, you can't help but have weaknesses. Lin Yu's weaknesses are all in Lin Qing. The two siblings have depended on each other since they were young. Don't mention how difficult it is. brother's life.

In the future, with the help of the Lu family's financial power, she can support her younger brother to marry a wife and have children, start a family and start a business. She doesn't believe there are so many benefits, Lin Yu won't be tempted.

After all, although Lin Qing was valued by the clan, at most he would support him in his studies, and he didn't need to spend any more money.

For example, marrying a wife and having children, buying real estate, etc., unless they passed the Juren examination, the clan would not care about these.

But to put it bluntly, Jiangnan has been a place where literary style has flourished since ancient times. If you want to pass the exam here, you don't know how many officials and eunuchs can't do it, let alone Lin Qing.

Take their Lin family as an example, it can be regarded as a big family anyway, and it can be called a family of prefects, but after so many years in the family, there are only two Jinshi and six or seven Juren.

For so many years in the family, there are many good seedlings that are valued. There have been many good seedlings like Lin Qing before, but they all failed the exam in the end, and Lin Qing is probably no exception.

"The second young master of the Lu family? He hasn't given up yet. The last time I wanted my sister to go to the mansion to be a maid, I couldn't do it. This time I want to marry him directly!"

Hearing Granny Wang's words, Lin Qing couldn't help but let out a deep breath, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and his voice became a little low.

The Lu family is also a big family in this county, not worse than the Lin family at all. Even if the second young master of the Lu family is not good enough, it is no problem to match his sister, and he will not be so objectionable.

But the key question is that the second young master of the Lu family is not only incompetent, he is greedy for money and lust, and basically no man in ancient times was able to keep himself clean.

But according to what Lin Qing heard, the second young master of the Lu family didn't just like beauty at all, he also seemed to like to play some special tricks, and even two of the wives that Mingmei was marrying were played to death.

If it weren't for the powerful Lu family, and the two wives' natal families were both small and patriarchal and didn't care about women, then the second young master of the Lu family would have been arrested and punished by the government long ago.

Such a person, no matter how powerful and powerful, it is impossible for Lin Qing to push his sister into the fire pit, but he has a little understanding of the usual style of the second young master of the Lu family, and the other party may not be so easy let go.

The last time when he was sick with a high fever, he took advantage of the fire to rob his sister and wanted to get his sister to work as a maid in the mansion. It was only a year ago, and she asked Wang Po to come over again to be a matchmaker, and wanted to marry her back. I fell in love with my sister.

Although it is said that the power of the Lin family is no worse than that of the Lu family, Lin Qing and the others are just ordinary clan members who have declined in the clan. Even if it is because they have passed the examination as a scholar and gained the attention of the clan, it is just a lack of resources. a little bit.

If you really want to talk about status, how can it be compared with the serious second young master of the Lu family, not to mention, this second young master is extremely favored by the old lady of the Lu family. It is hard to guard against.

"Ah Qing, how do you say that? Doesn't this show the sincerity of the second young master of the Lu family? He is sincere to us, Ah Yu. Otherwise, how could he be promised the position of wife!"

Although seeing Lin Qing's face became more gloomy, as soon as she thought of the strength of the Lu family and the big red envelope given by the second son of the Lu family, Granny Wang immediately straightened up, not like before. So scared.

Although this Lin Qing had a bit of a temper, but what kind of family was the Lu family, with the second son of the Lu family as the backstage, Granny Wang became more courageous, and she didn't think Lin Qing was so scary anymore.

Anyway, this time she came to the door with good intentions to talk about matchmaking, Xu is also the position of the main wife, and she will not lose face to the Lin family by saying it like last time, even if it is the patriarch's face, Granny Wang will not be afraid.

"Sincerely! Wang Po, you can say that. No one in the entire county knows what kind of reputation Lu Sheng has!"

Couldn't help but sneered, Lin Qing directly interrupted Granny Wang's words, and said with a sarcasm on his face, what's the point of being sincere, that's what the matchmaker said when Lu Sheng married those two wives.

But in the end, the two beautiful women in their prime were gone, and no one even asked a question. The parents of the family took the money and happily married their son to a daughter-in-law.

He didn't even think about the terrible treatment his daughter might suffer. Such things might be common in the ancient patriarchal age, but Lin Qing couldn't tolerate someone putting his mind on his sister.

"Ah Qing, the rumors in this city are all rumors, and there are countless things to do. Don't listen to people's rumors. This Mr. Lu is a good man, and the Lu family is even a good family..."

Embarrassed by Lin Qing's words, Granny Wang quickly explained a few words, but she couldn't speak anymore, her tone was even dry, and even she felt that she had no confidence.

"Wang Po, we all know about this matter, but marriage is a big matter. My sister and I need to discuss it carefully. You should go back first!"

Although he really wanted to punch this mother-in-law out, thinking of the second princess of the Lu family and the power of the Lu family in this county, Lin Qing took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and kept his attitude Say it as sincerely as possible.

He is just a little talent now, without any strength, if he angered Lu Sheng, let the other party do it directly, and use some tricks to snatch his sister away, it would be bad, and he should be perfunctory first, It's good for him to think of a way.
