[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

Thinking of this, Lin Liu smiled: "The most important thing during pregnancy is to eat well and drink well, and not to get angry. You two don't know much about this, so I'd better find someone from the Jia family in Jinling to invite you It’s good to have an old lady who has been around for a long time remind me. Only when the nutrition keeps up can the child be raised well.”

Then he looked at Wang Xifeng, "I know you have a strong temper, but you are too tired during pregnancy, which may affect the health of the child. You should let go during this period and try not to meddle in Jia Lian's business matters. .”

Wang Xifeng also knew that Lin Liu was doing it for her own good, and nodded with a busy smile: "I know, because there is no old person close to me. When Jia Lian and I first found out that we were pregnant, we went to the old lady of the Zhen family to borrow it. A nanny who came out of the palace. I heard that she used to serve Concubine Zhen in the palace, and she was best at taking care of pregnant women."

Lin Liu learned that the old lady of the Zhen family was willing to lend her daughter's former nanny to Wang Xifeng, and was a little surprised by the relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family.

This is too good.

Lin Liu smiled, and glanced at Jia Lian: "That's the best, you must remember to obey the mother's orders, don't be self-willed. The child in your belly is the successor and great-grandson of the Rongguo Mansion. It is very important. If something happens, See if the old lady in the capital will spare you."

Wang Xifeng smiled sweetly, and nodded seriously.

The group quickly packed up and went straight back to the old house of the Lin family——

After Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng arrived in Gusu, because there was no one in the old house, they lived in a nearby inn.Now that Lin Liu came back, the two of them asked people to pack their luggage and moved into the old house of the Lin family.

Lin Liu had someone tidy up a nearby yard for the two of them and came out. Wang Xifeng was pregnant and was already tired after waiting on the pier for a while. When the room was tidied up, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, Jia Lian found Lin Liu again: "I saw you hesitate to speak before, but is there anything you want to tell me?"

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jia Lian to be so perceptive.

She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since you have already asked, I will not see you. There is nothing important to tell you, but I remember Feng girl is very temperamental and likes to be jealous the most. Pregnancy During the period, there will be occasional mood swings, you should control your lower body, and don't make her angry by flirting with women."

She knew that men in this world had long been used to three wives and four concubines. Although Jia Lian had a deep affection for Wang Xifeng and his wife, there might not be other servants in the room.

But it was still a little uncomfortable for her to mix with other women during her pregnancy.If this person is someone he is familiar with, Lin Liu is afraid that if he meets him in the future, he will not know what expression to use to face him.

Jia Lian rubbed her nose in embarrassment, and nodded in response: "If you don't mention it, I'm afraid I won't think of it. Don't worry, cousin Lin, I will pay attention."

Lin Liu shook her head: "Don't talk about anything else, think about the child in Feng girl's stomach. You don't want your wife and children to have an accident together, do you?"

Jia Lian immediately put on a serious look, and repeatedly promised: "I will definitely not touch other women when Xifeng is pregnant."

Only then did Lin Liu laugh.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin Lin, when I took people to Xuzhou to transport food back, I seemed to see the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County there, but he was in a hurry and did not see him." Me, I didn't say hello to him either. But I remember that Nanning County Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with Xuzhou, so I don't know why he appeared there."

Lin Liu was stunned, and reminded: "You have forgotten that there is a daughter in the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County who married the former Pingnanbo Mansion, and the hometown of Pingnanbo Mansion is in Xuzhou."

Isn't the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County Ji Song's maternal ancestral home?What are they doing there?

When Ji's family had an accident before, I didn't see them caring about one or two things. It's been several years now, and I don't know what they went to Xuzhou for.

Could it be that something happened to Ji Song?

Lin Liu frowned, keeping this thought in his heart, not letting Jia Lian see anything.

Jia Lian nodded suddenly: "How many years have passed, I almost forgot that there was a Pingnanbo Mansion before the capital."

Lin Liu sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything.

Jia Lian just mentioned it casually, and he didn't take the matter of Xuzhou's encounter with the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion into his heart, so he turned his head and forgot, and mentioned another matter: "Didn't I get a new grain shop before? After I bought enough food in Xuzhou, the business in the shop has been good, and it can be regarded as a sign of making money, and even Feng girl said that I have grown up and can support my family."

Lin Liu rolled her eyes in embarrassment, but didn't answer.

But Jia Lian thought it was a big deal, so he pulled Lin Liu and talked about the big and small things that happened after he got the grain shop with great interest, which made Lin Liu's ears hurt.

While talking, the Zhao family was mentioned somehow.

Jia Lian's expression was a bit grim: "Do you think there is something wrong with the Zhao family? Although my grain store used to belong to the Zhao family, they sold it themselves, and I didn't buy the store from them. Wait for me It's easy to start a business, and the Zhao family didn't know what to think, but they came to me to inquire about the news of the grain shop, and even asked me who the owner of the grain shop was at the wine table."

"This is too irritating. I am the one who runs the grain store. If the boss isn't me, how could it be someone else? I am the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. How can I be the shopkeeper for someone else? I want to pour me wine, so I don't want to look at it." Who did I hang out with in the capital back then, it was just a few bottles of white wine, how could it be difficult for me?"

Jia Lian seemed to be dissatisfied with the Zhao family's actions, so he has been brooding about it.

Lin Liu extracted the news she wanted from it——

The Zhao family already knew that there were people behind other grain shops, and they were interested in the real boss behind them.

I'm afraid not only Jia Lian, Xu Jiu and others have also been questioned.

It's just that Xu Jiu and others are in the backyard all the year round, and it's difficult for others to get in touch with, and even if they have met Lin Liu, they don't know her identity at all, so naturally they have no way of revealing her identity.

Lin Liu replied with a smile: "The Zhao family? Is it the Zhao family, a large grain merchant in Jinling? You bought their shop? Their business has closed down, how can you still contact them?"

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "It seems that the Zhao family is not only engaged in the grain business, but also secretly in the cloth and salt business. Although the salt business has failed recently, they can still make some money. Cloth... ..."

He lowered his voice, "It is said that the Zhao family raised a lot of carpenters and made a Jenny loom that is [-] times more efficient. I don't know if it is true or not. If it is true, the Zhao family's cloth business can make more money than food."

Speaking of this, Jia Lian became even angrier, "Since their cloth business is doing well, why are they still worried about the grain store that they closed down? Isn't this too stingy and narrow-minded? The key point of narrow-mindedness is wrong. People, if they are not reconciled to their grain store being bought by other people, they will go to the original buyer, what are they looking for me for? I am a businessman with my own duties, and I have nothing to do with the Zhao family."

Lin Liu's eyes flashed, a Jenny spinning machine with twenty times the efficiency?

Although the Jenny Textile Machine has good news almost every one or two months, it is not so easy to double the efficiency.

I don't know how much time it took the Zhao family to create a Jenny loom with twenty times the efficiency. They are probably the first batch of people who got the blueprint of the Jenny loom from the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

Moreover, these businessmen are willing to hide their hands when doing things, and the news released is definitely weaker than the reality——

It is said that the Jenny textile machine is 23 times more efficient, but I am afraid that the researched textile machine is at least [-] times as efficient as the old-fashioned textile machine before.

Lin Liu thought of the news he had learned during this time, it seemed that the best loom was twenty times the number from Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, Lin Liu couldn't help but "tsk".

She didn't think that Zhao Rui, the man who closed down the grain store, would have such great ability and courage. The cloth business was said to belong to the Zhao family, and the real owner was probably the woman Zhao Shishi.

Lin Liu looked at Jia Lian: "Has the Zhao family pestered you for a long time? Are they still pestering you now?"

Jia Lian froze for a moment, then shook his head: "That's not true. After I revealed my identity and got angry at the Zhao family, the Zhao family stopped pestering me."

Being born in the Rongguo Mansion gave Jia Lian confidence. Although he would not look down on these pure businessmen, he would not be afraid of them.

After all, although he is in business, he is still a powerful man, and he still has a great deterrent effect on these businessmen.

For some reason, Lin Liu felt a little lost.

But this was also within her expectation, Lin Liu didn't struggle for too long.

But Jia Lian suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, after meeting Zhao Rui's wife, Xifeng told me that she was not simple, and she looked very similar to you."

Lin Liu was taken aback: "It looks very similar to me?"

Jia Lian nodded: "Xifeng was still laughing. She said that when we first met, she thought Zhao Shishi was your biological mother. But after she knew that Zhao Shishi came from a historian, she didn't think so anymore. After all Aunt Min and you are also very similar in birth, she is from the Shi family, it is really normal."

Lin Liu secretly kept this message in her heart——

She hadn't forgotten that this lady had lost a younger sister before.

The two talked for a while, and the maid outside came in to announce that Wang Xifeng had woken up and was looking for Jia Lian.

Jia Lian blushed in embarrassment, got up quickly, said goodbye and left.

Lin Liu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw the couple's reluctance to leave.I just hope that these two people can always love each other, and don't fall into the end of looking at each other and hating each other like in the original book.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng did not stay long in Gusu, and soon returned to Jinling by boat.

As for Lin Liu, after Jia Lian and the two left, he quickly packed his bags and set off for the next destination.

But another thing happened during this time-

Chen Hu, who had been helping Lin Liu in the past, suddenly resigned from her, saying that there were mistakes in his work during this period of time, and he really had no face to stay by Lin Liu's side.

Lin Liu originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but thinking of what Chen Hu said when he talked about women before, he didn't say much.

Chen Hu was slightly disappointed, but he was more relieved: "I hope that Miss Lin will have a smooth journey and her wish will come true."

With that said, he was about to leave the Lin family.

Lin Liu stopped him, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Chen Hu: "You hand this letter to Ji Song, there are some clues that I accidentally got on it, you must remember to hand it to him yourself, don't let anyone pass it on to you. .”

The letter didn't write anything else, just asked Ji Song a few words, and mentioned the clue that Nan'an County Prince's Mansion appeared in Xuzhou, hoping to help Ji Song.

In fact, this news really helped Ji Song a lot——

Because of the news revealed by Qin Keqing, he realized that the tragic death of his family had something to do with the four kings and eight fathers. Among them, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, Beijing County Prince's Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion were the leaders.

However, Ji Song had already entered the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County and Ningguo Mansion, and if he entered again, he would inevitably be recognized and cause unnecessary trouble.

So Ji Song didn't hesitate much, and managed to sneak into the Prince's Mansion in Beijing County.

It is obviously not that easy to investigate the truth of a family extermination. After two years of tempering, Ji Song has long been used to it, and he is very calm.

It was also because of his composure and calmness, that Ji Song was quickly selected and became the bodyguard next to the king of Beijing County.Although not yet a confidant, it is easier to get close to King Beijing and others than before, and it is also more convenient to investigate the truth.

There are never many people involved in such a big event as the extermination of the family, and it is absolutely impossible for a single person to make a decision with a snap of his head.

Ji Song followed the King of Beijing, and slowly found some clues——

From the conversation between King Beijing and other people, he slowly peeled back the cocoons and discovered that the four princes and eight princes were indeed planning something together.

Ji Song almost subconsciously felt that they were trying to plot rebellion.

After all, after Lin Liu's various actions, he is no longer so secretive about such things as treason and treason, so it is easy to think of this aspect.

He just wants to rebel, if he doesn't have Lin Liu's brains, he can only rely on military power.

Among the four kings and eight princes, the one with the most military power and the most important use by the emperor is the Nan'an County King.

However, if soldiers want to enter the capital, they cannot wear weapons. Otherwise, the gatekeepers in the capital will not allow people to enter at all, in case someone has a different heart and wants to harm the emperor.

There are soldiers, but weapons are still lacking.

But neither the Beijing County Palace nor the Nan'an County Palace had a single weapon.Ji Song has also carefully observed that the flow of personnel between the two families is normal, and there is nothing suspicious about the behavior of the two county kings in the mansion. Obviously, there is no secret room in the two mansions, so naturally there is no way to hide weapons.

Lin Liu's letter made him a little suspicious——

There were people coming and going between the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County and the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County. If they wanted to dig secret passages and secret rooms, it would cause a lot of commotion, and it would be very easy for people to find out what they were doing.

But Yuanping Nanbo Mansion is now deserted. If you want to dig a tunnel in it, or build a secret room to store weapons, it is really a good place——

Because the Ji family was wiped out, although the imperial court took Ping Nanbo's mansion back to the imperial court, no one has been willing to take over this hot potato.A large amount of gold and silver was needed to maintain the mansion, Yuanping Nanbo Mansion naturally soon became overgrown with weeds and became an abandoned mansion.

Ever since Ji Song returned to the capital, he was worried about being in love with the scene, and he never thought about going back to his former home.But now, he had to go back and find out.

Xu felt that Pingnanbo's mansion was deserted, the people in Pingnanbo's mansion were all dead, and no one would come back, so there were only three or two sneaky people wandering around outside the mansion, and the guards inside the mansion There are less than ten people.

Ji Song easily avoided these people and successfully sneaked into his former home.

He grew up in Pingnanbo's mansion, and he knows every corner of it like the back of his hand, and because he often recalls the scenes when he was a child, his memory has never faded.

So Ji Song quickly found something wrong behind a certain rockery in his garden, and quickly found the mechanism, entered the tunnel, and found a secret room with a large number of weapons hidden, and a secret passage leading to the outside of the city.

Because he was worried that there would be guards at the other end of the secret passage, and he was worried that if he stayed inside for a long time, the guards in the house would come in to check, so Ji Song left the house soon.

After finding out these clues, Ji Song subconsciously wanted to beat the drums to complain and expose what the four kings and eight princes were doing secretly.

But soon, Ji Song found that although he knew where the weapons were hidden and the real owner of the weapons, he had no clues at all.

What Ji Song is more worried about is that the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are not only powerful, but also related to the royal family, but he doesn't know who that person is.

……

Lin Liu didn't know what happened in the capital, she was busy dealing with the grain merchants, because as she traveled farther and farther, let alone Ji Song, even the contact with the Lin family in the capital became intermittent.

Because of Chen Hu's resignation, Lin Liu later went to the capital to write a letter, and Lin Ruhai simply sent a confidant over to help her investigate the matter.

This confidant is called Lin Er, but he and Lin Da are not brothers, they just work together by Lin Ruhai's side.

Unlike Lin Da who was always by Lin Ruhai's side, Lin Er mostly hid in the dark and rarely appeared in front of others, and was more of a helper for Lin Ruhai to deal with things that were inconvenient to do on the bright side.

The reason why Lin Er was transferred to Lin Liu's side was because even if he ran into an official outside the capital somewhere, he would not link Lin Er with the Lin family and would not expose Lin Liu's identity.

Xu Shi was used to doing similar things, and Lin Er did everything properly, with almost no mistakes or omissions.

Lin Liu used it very well.

In the later stage, I don't know how Lin Er discussed with those partners, but he actually made it clear to them. After agreeing on a place, let them come to see Lin Liu by themselves, and there is no need for Lin Liu to run around.

Also because of Lin Er's thoughtfulness, the plan that could have been made for three or four years was completed ahead of schedule in less than two years, and Lin Liu was able to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

After all the preliminary preparations were done, Lin Liu felt that he already had the means to protect himself, and his whole body relaxed a lot. After returning to the capital, the smile on his face was a little more.

At this time, the two children of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were already one year old——

Just as Lin Liu guessed before, Wang Xifeng finally gave birth to a son and a daughter.Because she was pregnant with two children, it was no surprise that Wang Xifeng gave birth prematurely in June.

After Sister Qiao was born, she had a brother who was a compatriot, and she was no longer born on the Qiqiao Festival. After the first birthday, Jia Lian and his wife took them back to Beijing, but they were hugged by the old lady lovingly and called her darlings for a long time.

If Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng didn't intend to stay in the capital for a long time, the old lady might want to keep the twins in her yard to raise them.

After Jia Lian knew about it, he thanked him for not being sensitive——

After all, there are people living in the Nuan Pavilion and the Bisha Cabinet in the old lady's house.Whether it is Jia Baoyu or Shi Xiangyun, they are the true heart of the old lady. Jia Lian is not so heartless when he entrusts his children to the old lady to raise.

When Lin Liu returned to Beijing, Jia Lian and his wife had left Beijing again and returned to Jinling.

It's a pity that she didn't get to meet her, but soon, it's a pity that Lin Liu won't have this free time——

Because Lin Liu, who is over seventeen now, is already an old girl who must get married in Jia Min's eyes.Even though Lin Ruhai was persuading her, Jia Min was completely unmoved, and insisted on dragging Lin Liu to attend banquets, wanting to show her face in front of the wives, so that it would be easier for her to choose a husband and son-in-law in the future.

Lin Liu: "..."

Only 17 years old, why worry?

But Jia Min was very anxious, because most of the young men in the capital who were of the same age as Lin Liu and who were well-matched were already engaged, and the rest of the unengaged ones, except for a few, mostly had some kind of problem.

Jia Min doesn't want her daughter to marry such a person.

Lin Liu was considerate of Jia Min's motherly love, so he could only follow her to go out to the banquet, and let some wives ask and look at her.

But it's a pity that either the mother of the right-age boy that Jia Min likes doesn't like Lin Liu, or Jia Min doesn't like Lin Liu.

There was also a lady who fell in love with Lin Liu's family background, and also thought that Lin Liu's looks and temperament were good. Coincidentally, Jia Min also fell in love with the other's son.

Ever since Lin Liu crossed over to the Red Mansion, she had no expectations for her marriage——

After all, it is too difficult to find a man who is clean before and after marriage, and she doesn't think she is lucky enough to meet him.

Therefore, Lin Liu did not resist Jia Min's arrangement.

But even if she doesn't care much about her marriage, she still hopes that the person she will marry in the future will at least have a good temper, and it's best not to have any messy white moonlight, true love and other annoying people.

So after she knew what Jia Min was thinking, she asked Lin Er to help her investigate the man who was about to become her fiancé. What kind of virtue was he in private——

After returning to Beijing, Lin Liu immediately proposed to send Lin Er back to Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruhai felt that it was more appropriate for Lin Er to be by her side, so he sent him directly to Lin Liu.Now Lin Er no longer worked for Lin Ruhai, but became Lin Liu's right-hand man.

She thought that since this person could be favored by Jia Min, at least her character would not be too bad, but when the information was presented, she was startled: it turns out that this person actually has the habit of Longyang.

Although the men in Dream of Red Mansions basically have similar behaviors, this does not mean that Lin Liu is willing to accept that her husband's sexual orientation is unknown.

What's more, this person is not only good at Long Yang, he also raised an actor outside.

When Lin Liu saw the information, she was so disgusted that she found Jia Min on the spot and raised objections.

Jia Min also saw that Lin Liu didn't care about the marriage before, but now that she refused, Jia Min was not only not angry, but rather happy: "I thought you didn't care who you married, but now it seems I still care a little bit."

After finishing speaking, he asked again, "Tell me, why don't you want to marry Young Master Nian?"

Lin Liu frowned: "I found out that he raised an actor outside."

Jia Min was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of anger: "When I asked Mrs. Nian before, she said that her son is clean and self-sufficient, not close to women. She is cheating! No, I have to tell him clearly, this marriage We can't afford it."

Even putting two servant girls in the room is better than raising people outside.

Lin Liu smiled: "Mother doesn't need to break up with Nian's family. She just politely refuse the next time they meet. There is really no need to get angry about it."

Jia Min quickly realized that the two families were not engaged yet, if he and the Nian family started to quarrel, the Nian family boy would only make people flirtatious, but it would not be affected too much. On the contrary, the reputation of the little Qilin might be affected .

She said bitterly: "Mrs. Nian even asked me to visit her house tomorrow, so I'll let someone reject her, and I won't have any contact with her again."

Lin Liu smiled: "If mother is really angry, there is no need to rush to reject Mrs. Nian. You should just keep in touch with Mrs. Nian as if you don't know about it, but secretly tell the others about Mr. Nian raising an actor outside. People know, let them help spread the word, and when the news spreads, no one will feel wrong if you refuse."

At that time, no matter how young master Nian is, her reputation will not be damaged in the slightest.

On the contrary, because his affairs were exposed, other people who are interested in the Nian family at least know all of his conditions, and whether they marry or not will be based on their own wishes, rather than being deceived.

She would also like to spread the news that Mr. Nian's son has Longyang addiction, but this matter is probably common to people in the world of Red Mansions, and they will not take it seriously at all——

Even the jealous Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously when she found out that Jia Lian was using the servant to vent her anger. Do you want other women who have been brainwashed by three obediences and four virtues to pay more attention to this matter?

Jia Min also felt that this method was good, so she practiced Tai Chi without any trace while getting in touch with Mrs. Nian, delaying the engagement time.

Not long after that, the news spread that Young Master Nian was raising a concubine.

Jia Min naturally rejected Mrs. Nian's invitation, and she knew what the Lin family meant, and never sent an invitation to the Lin family.

Because Jia Min only showed his intention to refuse after the news spread, Mrs. Nian never suspected that the news about her son's adoptive room was exposed by her.

And Jia Min just let the people below tell the story "inadvertently", and those who knew the news told their masters, and then it spread. Not to the source.

After this happened, Lin Liu also got another benefit——

Jia Min felt that he was too careless in choosing her candidates for marriage, and also felt that taking Lin Liu out every time to attend banquets seemed a bit hateful, so after seeking Lin Liu's opinion, he did not take her to attend those famous events. All kinds of banquets.

She was going to do some investigation on her own, and only after making sure that Erlang from the other party's family was really a good candidate, would she take Lin Liu out.

And after experiencing the matter of the son of the Nian family, Jia Min is now at a time when her love for daughters is overflowing. In this state, the various standards she has set for her future son-in-law are really too high for ancient men.

It's not that there were no such people in ancient times, but there might not be anyone in the capital who met Jia Min's standards and was about the same age as Lin Liu. She would definitely not be able to find this person in a short time.

Lin Liu suddenly became free.

In the past few years when she was not in the capital, Jia Min took Daiyu out to socialize, but met a lot of girls with similar temperaments and hobbies. As a guest at home, I want to invite you to my house to enjoy the flowers, and I am always busy.

Because Yinglian and Daiyu have a good relationship, Daiyu would take her out with her every time she went out. Over time, Yinglian became famous as a talented woman in the capital, attracting the attention of many good people.

Other things are fine, at least Yinglian doesn't have to worry about her future marriage.

The three brothers Gui Ling, He Nian, and Lu Sui are studying hard, preparing for next year's exam——

In the spring of next year, Guiling is preparing to end; the twins also plan to return to Gusu next year to take part in the imperial examination.

So after all the calculations, Lin Liu can only pass the time with the youngest Maoshou and Yingzhu.

It's a pity that she is willing, and the two little guys don't have so much time——

Maoshou is fine, but Yingzhu must take the imperial examination, so Zhen Shiyin's class has not stopped. Maoshou and Yingzhu have a good relationship, so naturally they have to follow the class.

Lin Liu sighed, then turned around and went to look for Sheng Man in the carriage.

Sheng Man lived in the Lin family for the purpose of being teachers for Lin Liu and Daiyu. Now that they are both old and don't need teachers anymore, Sheng Man naturally left the Lin family.

I heard that after leaving the Lin family, Sheng Man was invited to sit in the house again not long after, teaching other girls poetry, poetry, etiquette and so on.

But not long after, Sheng Man resigned from that family and returned to her natal family.

Lin Liu went directly to the Sheng family.

The concierge of the Sheng family also knew who her aunt's students were. After hearing her self-introduction, she went directly to the door to tell her, and not long after, she came over and opened the door to welcome her in.

Sheng Man lived in a slightly remote yard, but the flowers in the yard were lush and blooming, obviously it took a lot of effort to take care of them.

Sheng Man shouldn't have been wronged in her natal family, otherwise she wouldn't have the energy to take care of the yard.

Not long after Lin Liu entered the yard, Sheng Man came out to welcome her.

She was not polite to Lin Liu either, she went directly to the rocking chair beside her and sat down, then pointed to the rocking chair next to her: "You sit here, we, master and apprentice, haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can catch up and say a few more words .”

Lin Liu was also polite, and after sitting down, she lay down on the back of the chair.

The two masters and apprentices always talked when they had something to say, and Sheng Man asked directly: "I heard that Jia Min has been choosing a husband for you these days? Did she give you the son-in-law who made a lot of noise a while ago?" Chosen?"

Lin Liu nodded: "The two families just want to get married, but they haven't investigated carefully, so they haven't reached the step of getting married."

Sheng Man turned her head and glanced at her: "You caused the Nian family's matter, didn't you?"

Lin Liu smiled: "Why do you think so, Mr.? I found out, and to some extent it was my fault."

Sheng Man immediately understood the role of her student in this, and nodded: "You are right, this kind of person who tries to deceive a good girl into marrying him should not be soft-hearted, and can only expose his behavior , so that other girls can survive.”

Lin Liu laughed: "Mr. is right."

Sheng Man said again: "Your mother hasn't given up on choosing a husband for you, right? What do you think? Do you want to get married?"

Lin Liu turned to look at Sheng Man, a little speechless: "Can I still remain unmarried for the rest of my life? I don't care, but there are younger brothers and sisters below. If I don't get married, the following will be affected by me, and their reputation will be ruined." Affected."

This is why in ancient times you could not do whatever you wanted, because now the clan relationship is in place, and once the reputation of a certain person in a family is damaged, the rest of the family will be affected.

Sheng Man never thought that Lin Liu could give other answers, so she nodded and didn't say anything more, but mentioned another thing: "Since you plan to get married, you have to choose carefully as a dowry maid. After choosing, is there any Let them open their faces and give your future husband the idea of ​​being a concubine, and remember to explain it in advance, so that the last two people don't have the same idea, causing misunderstandings and causing bad things."

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the second or third time Sheng Man had seriously mentioned the dowry maid.

And it seems that every time it is mentioned, the tone is not very good.

Thinking of what happened to Sheng Man, Lin Liu had some guesses: "When something happened to Mr. Sheng, your dowry maid was also an accomplice?"
