[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

After hearing the news, Lin Kou originally wanted to find a reason to leave. After all, she didn't have much to talk about with Lan Yun or Lin Ying, and sitting together would only increase the embarrassment.

But what Lin Kou didn't expect was that Lin Ying came out immediately after hearing that she was coming.

Lin Kou looked at Lin Ying, who had a gentle expression, broad eyebrows and eyes, and looked more transparent than before. She was a little curious about her transformation. Coupled with Lin Ying's enthusiastic holding of her hand, Lin Kou finally followed her to Lanzhou Sit in Yun's room.

In Lin Kou's impression, the relationship between Lin Ying and Lan Yun is excellent.

But when Lin Kou stepped into Lanyun's courtyard, he realized that the atmosphere between the mother and daughter seemed not quite right, but judging by Lin Ying's smiling expression, it didn't seem like they were arguing?

Lin Ying noticed her gaze and said hastily: "My wife and I couldn't agree on some things, so we had some conflicts. It's not a big deal. Don't misunderstand."

Lin Kou glanced at Lan Yun and thought to himself: What can I misunderstand?Even if something big happens, it's a private matter between you mother and daughter, what does it have to do with me as an outsider?

But seeing that Lin Ying really looked worried, Lin Kou could only nod vaguely.

Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Lan Yun and said, "Mrs. Zhen, the intention of my visit this time is to invite you to my daughter's birthday."

Lin Ying's daughter?

Lin Kou thought about it again and found that Lin Ying did have a daughter, but wasn't that child left by her husband after Lin Ying moved out of her husband's house?

Lin Ying also thought that Lin Kou didn't know that she had a daughter, so she explained: "My husband and I gave birth to a daughter after we got married. Later, I found out that he had bad intentions, so I was going to take my daughter and leave. But the man was still not reconciled. , forcibly stayed at home on the grounds that my daughter was his child."

"He tried in vain to withhold money from me through my daughter."

"But because every time I go there, I don't give my daughter money, nor do I give her gold and silver utensils that can be exchanged for money. I just buy some worthless small items that ordinary people can use. The family sees that they can't take advantage of it. , I want to do something to my daughter."

"The servant girl I stayed with my daughter reported the letter to me. I directly brought the Queen's people over to catch thieves. They were afraid of the Queen's power and worried that the Queen would pursue their faults, so they could only take my daughter Give it back to me."

Lin Ying sighed and said with a smile: "Before I lived alone, I couldn't help feeling sorry for myself, and I often felt lonely. After having a daughter, my life is much more enjoyable. It will be a few days or I will My daughter's birthday? This is her first birthday since she came to me, so I wanted to make it more grand, so I thought of inviting the general and his wife, and the two young generals and grandma to the banquet."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Lin Kou embarrassedly, "I didn't think to disturb Madam Zhen at the door, but didn't this just happen to happen? I'll try to invite you with shame. If Madam Zhen doesn't want to, you don't have to force her , as you like."

Lin Kou glanced at Lin Ying: "You are more open-minded."

Lin Ying's eyes lit up, and she was about to speak, but Lan Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said angrily: "Your daughter lives well in her husband's house, why are you taking her out? Have you ever thought about your daughter?" How to behave, how to talk about marriage when you grow up, and how to face the gossip from the outside world? You are rebellious and live like a nun, and you want to make your daughter a lonely person just like you? How can you be like this? Selfish? Have you ever thought about your daughter, me as a mother, and the reputation of the royal princesses?"

Seeing Lan Yun's words getting more and more excessive, Lin Ying's expression darkened in an instant: "Madam General, I only tolerate you so much because you have raised me up. If you do this again I don’t care about what I say, I won’t think about the past friendship any more, and I won’t have to go back and forth in the future.”

Lin Ying's husband had only married her for her dowry before, but in fact, he had already hidden a concubine of true love at home.

In this case, she would be crazy to go back and live with that pair of scumbags.

Not to mention, Lan Yun wanted her to apologize to those adulterers!

Apologize?Don't even think about it!

She is living a relaxed and comfortable life now, not to mention the time to get married, even when she was waiting to marry in her boudoir, she was not as free as she is now. How could she make herself suffer?

If Lin Kou had spoken to Lan Yun like this, he would have been overwhelmed by filial piety.

But when Lin Ying said this, Lan Yun just looked at Lin Ying aggrieved and sad: "I'm not doing it for your own good!"

Lin Ying just felt powerless: "How many times do you want to tell you? I am doing well now!"

"You are a woman living alone with your children, and no one is asking for your health. How can you live well? You are young now, so you don't know the suffering of a person, but if you are old, there is no one around you who can talk to you. There is no one here, you just know..."

Lin Ying's face was flushed with anger, but she had never experienced such "kindness", and she was at a loss for words for a while.

Lin Kou glanced at Lin Ying and smiled, "So, madam, do you have a word with the general?"

Lan Yun's expression froze for an instant, and he couldn't say a word.

Lin Ying: "???"

It's so easy for Madam to shut up?

She glanced at Lin Kou, and then at Lan Yun, who was obviously furious, but couldn't say a word like before, suddenly, as if she had opened her eyes, she showed an expression of enlightenment.

Lin Kou looked amused, shook his head and got up: "Since the two sisters-in-law are not here, I will leave for now. As for Lin Ying's daughter's birthday party," she thought for a while, and said, "If I am free, I will go."

Lin Ying was a little disappointed, but she also knew that the relationship between the two was awkward, so she didn't mention it again.

Lin Kou bid farewell and left.

Looking at Lan Yun hesitantly, Lin Ying took a deep breath: "I don't have anything to do with staying here, so let's leave with you, and I can be a companion on the way."

Lin Kou didn't refuse, and walked away directly.

Lan Yun was sitting in a high position, but after seeing the backs of the two talking and laughing together, she suddenly panicked and subconsciously called out: "Ying'er!"

Lin Ying paused, but continued to leave without looking back.

The two sisters-in-law of General Zhen Guo's Mansion brought someone to the door after they learned that Lin Kou had visited.

Seeing that Lin Kou first asked her why she came here before, and after learning that she was only looking for marriages for a few little girls, she patted her chest and agreed without hesitation.

After talking about the business, Mrs. Lin was still a little curious: "What exactly did you say to your mother-in-law when you came to the door that day? How did your mother-in-law become much quieter after that day, and her attitude when facing us was also much better? "

Lin Kou was taken aback for a moment: "Suddenly changed so much?"

She just said a word, the lethality should not be so great, right?

After thinking for a while, Lin Kou told the two of them everything that happened that day, and then said, "I think she woke up not because of what I said, but because of Lin Ying's attitude. I can feel it, Lin Ying's There is not much patience left, if she continues to impose her own ideas on Lin Ying and ask Lin Ying to live out her life according to her own ideas, Lin Ying may really have nothing to do with her forever."

After a pause, "Collect her body before she dies at most?"

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect this pair of mother and daughter who were inseparable as each other to be able to make trouble like this.

But think about Lin Ying's current situation: "..."

It's really not surprising.

The two had lunch at Lin Kou's house, then took their leave and left.

In a few days, they sent some lists of suitable candidates, and together with the list carefully selected by Baochai's mother-in-law, the list was even thicker than Jia Min's original list.

Lin Kou handed over the list to Zhen Fu for investigation, and after eliminating a few people with questionable character, he asked someone to send a letter to Jia's family. Not long after, Daiyu Baochai and the others brought Xing Xiuyan and a few others The girl came to Lin Kou's house.

Everyone has their own criteria for choosing a spouse. Lin Kou can only guarantee that the people on the list are of good character. As for what kind of marriage these little girls want, Lin Kou will no longer interfere, and simply let go Let them choose by themselves. It is their own responsibility to choose good or bad, but it has nothing to do with Lin Kou and others.

She also told several little girls about her thoughts.

These few people could be selected by Jia Min, aside from other things, they are all reasonable people. Hearing this, he was just more cautious when choosing people, but he didn't say much.

Soon, the two little girls from the Jia family were chosen.

Lin Kou took a look and found that one of the two little girls chose the one with the highest status and wealth, while the other simply chose the one with the best temper and the simplest manner.

It's extreme, but seeing the expressions of the two of them is very satisfying.

Lin Kou didn't say anything.

Then there are two historian girls. The two of them may have been used to living a life of less affluence before the accident happened to the historian, so when choosing a candidate, they chose the most suitable candidate based on their own situation.

On the contrary, Wang Xihuang and Xing Xiuyan seemed to be in some trouble.

After reading the list, Wang Xihuang bit her lip and said with an embarrassed expression: "My ex-fiancé came to me a few days ago and said he was willing to marry me. I think..."

Lin Kou was at a loss, then turned to look at Baochai, "Does she have a fiancé?"

Baochai gave Wang Xihuang a blank look: "It has happened before. After something happened to the Wang family, they did not hesitate to resign the engagement, and made another engagement in a very short period of time, and they got married the next year. It's just that last year the other wife had a difficult delivery. And died, it has just been one year now, so it is probably time to choose a step-wife."

The fiancé who was appointed before the Wang family was in decline must not have a family status that Wang Xihuang can match up with today's Wang Xihuang, not to mention that Wang Xihuang and the fiancé have been engaged for a period of time, and they may not have no contact with each other. Now, it is not difficult to understand that Wang Xihuang wants to continue his relationship with the other party.

Although Lin Kou didn't think that the other party was a good candidate for marriage, if Wang Xihuang insisted, it would be difficult for an outsider to persuade her, so she nodded and let go.

As for Xing Xiuyan, with the help of Aunt Xue, she saw Xue Biao again.

Xue scorpion...

Lin Kou looked at Baochai, wondering if she should remind her.

Baochai shook her head at her: "I reminded her after I found out about this, but she felt that she and Xue Biao were well-matched, and they knew each other well, even if the other person's character was flawed, it was not a big deal, so she agreed to it earlier. my mother."

Now that I agreed, I am naturally embarrassed to go back on my word now.

But in the end, the marriages of the little girls were settled.

Lin Kou and the others felt relieved.
