Xue Shi and Xu Shi waited for Jiang Wen to leave, packed a lot of things at home, and ordered the servants to send them to Lin's house.

When the servant who gave the gift left, Xue was still a little unwilling and said: "This marriage is indeed a good one. I was thinking that if Lin Ruhai and Wen'er could talk about it in person, maybe they can get it right..."

"Let's not talk about whether it is in compliance with the rules." Xu Shi disapproved: "We can't force the head of the cow without drinking water, we still have to ask Wen'er if she wants to."

Although the mentality of the elders does not want their children to die alone, the two still respect Jiang Wen in the final analysis. Otherwise, the marriage of their children is more or less the order of their parents. If they make a strong decision, Jiang Wen has nothing to do.

It's just that the two of them were still regretting at home. When the servant who never wanted to give gifts came back, he even brought them a guest.

"Greetings to the ladies."

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu looked at each other. This Madam Su and the others had heard about it from Jiang Wen, and her face was indeed a little cold. She came here at this time, could it be...

How did Jiang Wen know that someone was waiting for her at home, and when she came back from Ye Yunyi's place, she suddenly heard "sugar-fried chestnuts" being sold outside on the way, so she wanted to eat it very much, so she stopped the carriage immediately and bought three catties, ready to go home. Holding a catty to eat.

When she got home, she didn't need anyone else to take it, she carried three bags of fried chestnuts with sugar and went back to the main courtyard, still shouting: "Mother, mother, I bought fried chestnuts with sugar..." Just halfway through the sentence , saw someone who should not have appeared in her house at a glance, and said slightly startled: "Su, mother Su?!"

Madam Su stood up from her chair, and greeted Jiang Wen respectfully: "Grandma Yuan, hello, I learned that you and your two wives are coming back from Gusu, and I am here to see you."

Jiang Wen twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded in return, and then remembered the sugar-fried chestnuts in his arms, immediately put them on the table, adjusted his clothes, and said, "How long have you been here?" Looking at mother and mother-in-law with a bit of complaint, "Madam Su is here, you should have informed me earlier."

Madam Su explained for Xue Shi and Xu Shi: "The servant girl came suddenly, so naturally I shouldn't disturb you when you go out to meet friends."

Although the image was a little bit unruly when we met, but fortunately, she had carefully prepared for going out today, so she shouldn't be too imposing when she was sitting upright and smiling... right?

"Madam Su is here today, but there are other things?"

Su Momo put her hands in front of her belly and said respectfully: "There is indeed something I want to discuss with you."

Jiang Wen was a little uncomfortable with her attitude, glanced at the two elders who were listening with pricked ears, then smiled and raised his hand to invite Su Momo: "Mommy, why don't you move to the study."

As soon as Mrs. Xue heard what she meant, she knew that she didn't want them to hear, so she murmured softly, "It seems like someone is so rare."

Jiang Wen had already led Mother Su out, only Mrs. Xu heard it, and shook her head funny, and gave her a bag of fried chestnuts in sugar, and took another bag herself, saying: "Let's leave it alone, Wen'er specially brought back chestnuts, eat them while they are hot."

On the other side, Jiang Wen brought Mother Su into the study, asked her to sit down, and then asked the servant girl to serve tea. Then she sat on the chair and said, "We brought this tea back from Jinling this time. The taste is similar to that from Yangzhou. My son's is still a little different, you have a try."

Su Momo took it and smelled it, took another sip, and praised: "It's fragrant and pleasant."

There was no expression on the old man's face when he praised it, and his credibility plummeted. Jiang Wen took a sip by himself and felt that it was no different from usual, so he didn't doubt whether the taste was bad.

"Grandma Yuan." Seeing that Jiang Wen didn't take the initiative to mention it, Madam Su put down her teacup and said frankly, "You must know why I came here today."

"I can guess." Jiang Wen nodded, and asked calmly, "So are you here today on behalf of someone else or on your own?"

"The servants came to visit, but the master did not stop them."

"Oh——" Then I understand, Jiang Wen nodded, and continued: "I understand the truth, and my family has told me a lot of benefits these days, but although our family is not rich, it is also a small family with a small income. , Actually, I don’t think this marriage is necessary for me, do you have any more innovative reasons?”

Su Momo pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth and said: "At the beginning when our young master was gone, Madam felt guilty for not being able to give birth to an heir for the Lin family. How wonderful..."

Jiang Wen frowned, and said bluntly: "Is there such a thing? Is it too whimsical?"

"Master really loves Master Chen. Knowing that Master Chen loves his family, this matter is definitely not feasible. Naturally, he doesn't want to hurt his feelings by saying it." Madam Su's expression was as gentle as possible, but she was used to it with a deadpan expression, and she didn't He seemed very sincere, "I just want you to know that the servant really values ​​Master Chen. Otherwise, how can a person like him, Madam, have not yet passed the year of filial piety, how can he be swayed by the old patriarch's proposal?"

Jiang Wen was noncommittal, but she had no doubts about Lin Ruhai's character. Besides, her appearance was rather gentle, but her temperament had nothing to do with gentleness. ?It's not a brain-dead drama.

"In fact, the master is also a loving father." Madam Su didn't care if she didn't reply, and continued: "Master Chen, I don't know if I have told you about their arrival at Rongguo Mansion. It was only through some help that I found out that the Rongguo Mansion is not really suitable for a young lady to keep her filial piety there, but I couldn't find a suitable reason to take her over."

"so what?"

"If the master remarries, the young lady will naturally be taught by her mother, and it will be natural to take it back. After our wife passed away, the master said that he did not want to remarry. We old slaves are unwilling to do so but have no choice. Persuasion." So suddenly there was such a reason that made Lin Ruhai loose, and Mother Su was so eager to make it happen.

Jiang Wen took a sip of tea, she had already guessed about Lin Daiyu, but, "What you said is good for you, what good is this matter for me?"

"This servant knows that you are not a vain person, otherwise you must have agreed soon. I have also heard from the two old ladies about your concerns. This matter is a win-win for both parties, but in fact the beneficiary It is more about our master and young master Chen. So if you agree, the Lin family will naturally not let you have any troubles, and you can discuss anything you mind."

Jiang Wen raised his eyebrows, not surprised that her mother and mother-in-law were in the middle, but tentatively said: "You mean..."

"Unless the Lin family really needs the mistress to attend important occasions, you are not willing to do other things, and no one will force you." Su Mama promised directly.

Jiang Wen asked curiously, "Oh? How about other things?"

"Master Chen has reached the age of marriage. If you promise, the master is willing to marry a young lady for Master Chen; the two old ladies can also live in the Lin family in the future and be taken care of by the Lin family; the Lin family's wealth is yours to use, and the Lin family's servants will do whatever they want." You dominate, no one in the Lin family restricts your freedom..."

Listening to what she said, someone is willing to take over Lin Chen's future, the rest of the life of the two elders in the family is safe, and Lin Ruhai has no parents and elders to control her, so she can enjoy Madam Lin's honor without having to bear Madam Lin's responsibilities... Jiang Wen Subconsciously biting her thumbnail, what the hell is going on with this heart-pounding sensation? !

At the beginning, Jiang Ming's only request to Jiang Wen was to take care of Xue Shi and Lin Chen, but Jiang Wen had a measure in his heart, which was more important than her rebirth, and there was almost no need to think about it.

If this marriage is not a bondage to her, on the contrary, it will allow her to completely cancel this kindness. Is it true that there will be no burden when getting along with them from now on, so that she can really do what she wants?

Such a slightly heavy mood is not suitable for Jiang Wen, think about it happily, her son is so well-received, so she can "mother is more expensive than her son", it seems quite proud...

"Grandma Yuan, what do you think?"

Jiang Wen felt that Madam Su, who is usually such a majestic person, was so embarrassing to talk so much in order to persuade her. Although she was shaken, she still had to say what should be said: "I admit that it is quite touching, But with all due respect, I have some opinions on Mr. Lin, so I don’t want to vomit. Why don’t you let Mrs. Lin decide whether to continue the conversation after you convey it, how about it?”

"It's all right for you to speak up."

"Our family has known Mr. Lin's character for many years, and there is absolutely nothing to question. Of course, it is precisely because of our understanding that I cannot agree with Mr. Lin's handling of the issue of heirs." After speaking, Jiang Wen glanced at Su The nanny looked expressionless, and asked cautiously: "I said something bad, you won't trouble me for protecting the Lord, will you?"

Su Momo looked at her with strange eyes, "You are the master, and the servants are servants, how could they bother you?"

"That's good." Jiang Wen twitched the corners of her mouth. She wasn't afraid of an old lady, but she might be like those boys from the Lin family standing cowering in front of her. When she saw Madam Su, she would always think of childhood shadows. That memory is so bad.

Withdrawing his wandering thoughts, Jiang Wen looked at Madam Su, and continued: "I know the truth of 'unfilial piety is the greatest cause of having no descendants'. Mrs. Lin was eager to have a descendant for the Lin family and she could understand it. Mrs. Lin... ...I think some speculations are true or not, but it is human nature for her to feel sad and try her best to protect herself, right?"

Nanny Su opened her mouth, she didn't think of any rebuttal words, she finally nodded her head.

"Master Lin must be in a dilemma, but this kind of thing requires both filial piety for his mother and the love of husband and wife. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Then what did he do? Listen to his mother and accept it." Concubine, wife also died in depression, and finally had no son."

Su Momo's face was not very good after hearing this, but she still maintained her demeanor and tried to remind: "Please be careful with your words."

After Jiang Wen paused, he immediately admitted his mistake: "My words were a bit harsh, please forgive me."

"Slaves are servants."

I understand, Jiang Wen nodded to show that she understood what she meant, and then said: "You don't have to do anything if you get the benefits. If you don't pick up such a big deal, you don't want to pick it up. Is it a fool not to pick it up? But I'm ugly. Up front, even if I agree to this marriage, I only have Chen'er as a son and Lin Daiyu as a stepdaughter, it is impossible for me to be born again, and no one else will allow it, otherwise it would be meaningless for me to remarry."

Since it is said that it is for Lin Chen, isn't it a matter of course that Lin Ruhai only has his stepson?Besides, with the medical technology of this era, she is already old, so why should she earn her life to give birth to others?

After Su Momo heard this, she tightly clenched her hands under the table, her face remained calm, but she said a little stiffly: "This matter will be reported to the master when I return home."

"and also……"

besides? !Su Momo glanced at Grandma Yuan's face, the corner of her mouth twitched, and said, "Please tell me."

"The two connecting rooms in the backyard need to be relocated, even if it's a decoration, I can't accept it."

It's not troublesome to arrange the room, the master has already neglected the two of them, and the arrangement is settled.It's just that it's impossible for Su Momo to be suppressed by her like this, so she asked as if asking for advice: "I want to ask you something, if Uncle Yuan is still here, and you have no children with him, the elder wants to do it for you." Uncle Yuan can't refuse to arrange a concubine's room, how do you treat it?"

"He dares!"

Su Momo shook her head slowly, and said: "In life, not everyone can do whatever they want, and there are many things they have to do..."

Jiang Wen has a ready-made example, "My parents only have me as a daughter, and they still love each other. Anything they have to do is an excuse, and it depends on how the man behaves."

Regarding what she said, Madam Su was not good at commenting, so she could only sigh inwardly, and said, "Does Grandma Yuan have any other requests? Tell them together and go back to pass them on. This servant is about to leave."

Jiang Wen thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything special to say for the time being, so he just said: "As long as the nanny goes back, convey my words to Mr. Lin accurately and without omission."

When Madam Su returned to Lin's house, Lin Ruhai hadn't come back yet, and she wasn't in the mood to do anything, so she just sat there and waited. After a long time of buffering, she gradually calmed down.

When Lin Ruhai came back, the two went to the study to talk.Mother Su didn't dare to hide anything, so she repeated Jiang Wen's words to the master almost verbatim, but it was difficult to spit out some parts.

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, and he had to admit that although those words were harsh, they really hit his heart. In the days when his son died and Jia Min's condition worsened, it was not that he didn't ask himself, but he didn't dare to think deeply...

"master……"

Lin Ruhai raised her hand to interrupt Su Nanny, and asked flatly, "Mommy, what do you think of Daiyu having such a stepmother?"

Su Momo replied seriously: "Grandma Yuan is indeed genuine, and she will not treat Miss badly."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he nodded and said, "Then promise to come down, I will write a letter myself later, and have someone send it to Mrs. Yuan's house tomorrow."

"Yes."

And after Jiang Wen sent Madam Su away, he completely ignored the ardent gazes of Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu, and slept soundly without any worries that night. Jiang Mingyi was speechless throughout the whole process.

Early the next morning, Jiang Wen received a letter from Lin Ruhai, and after reading it, he burned it casually, and then announced to the two elders: "It's already agreed, I agree to this marriage."

Before Jiang Wen came back yesterday, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu had already told Mother Su everything they could tell her, but they really didn't expect that they would do it in just one night?

"So suddenly? What did you say?"

Jiang Wen felt that if he told them what he said, he would definitely blame him, so he didn't tell them, but said: "Anyway, the matter has already been settled, so what does it matter how we discussed it?"

"Then, do we have to write to Chen'er and tell him about it?"

"Master Lin said in the letter that it is not appropriate to make it public." Jiang Wen suddenly remembered the chestnuts he brought back yesterday, and asked them: "Have you finished eating the candied chestnuts?"

"Your child always talks like this. Is it still delicious when it's cold? I took it to the kitchen to cook chicken." Every time she interrupted when she was talking about something serious, Xue was really anxious to death.

Jiang Wen was helpless, "Did you forget that Mrs. Lin's filial piety is only in May, and there are still more than two months!"

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she suddenly remembered, but she still insisted: "Wife filial piety is not observed by everyone. There are some who can't wait for three to five months, or even a day, to directly welcome new people into the door, right?"
