Chapter 131
"The daughters of the Donglin family are very good, but the daughters of the Xilin family are not so good. But I heard that the old lady of the Xilin family is a very upright person. She personally raised her eldest granddaughter. Unfortunately, she did not have any subsequent granddaughters. Take care of it.”
"There is also the youngest daughter of the prefect's family. Although she is a youngest daughter, she has a gentler temperament than the average eldest daughter. She also looks stable."
"The Gu family has several legitimate daughters who are also very good, and the concubines are equally outstanding! This shows that the mistress is very sensible."
"My lord, what do you think of this?"
Together, Grandma Wang and Zhao Jingyi took a look at Jiang Qian's well-educated woman to be married in front of Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng listened quietly, neither saying yes nor saying bad.
He seemed to have closed his eyes.
Grandma Wang shouted: "Your Majesty?"
Qi Lingheng raised his eyes and said lightly: "Everything is fine."
He is no longer as reluctant as before.
But Grandma Wang still felt unreasonable in her heart. She asked with concern and respect: "Your Majesty said everything is fine, does it mean... everyone agrees?"
She is the prince's wet nurse. Based on her understanding of the prince, this must not be the case!
Qi Lingheng did not refute Grandma Wang, and only said: "Of course the one chosen by Grandma is good, but it sounds a little lacking..."
Grandma Wang asked anxiously: "What is missing?"
Qi Lingheng smiled slightly: "It's the same thing as the edge of the eye."
After that he left.
Grandma Wang and Zhao Jingyi stared at each other in the hall.
Lack of eyesight?
Not even seen it! You have to meet someone before you know whether you are suitable or not. How can you decide that you are not suitable after hearing about your family background?
Zhao Jingyi asked in confusion: "How can I reply to your wife?"
My sister specifically told me that she would write a letter back to the capital if there was any progress.
Grandma Wang could only say, "Just write it truthfully."
Zhao Jingyi sighed and said, "This is the only way."
He went back and scratched his head, not knowing how to reply to his sister. He was confused as he picked up his pen!
Grandma Wang also wanted to reply to the Queen and the Emperor with a secret letter, so she thought about it and told the truth.
The prince seemed relieved, but he had no idea what he was thinking!
As a wet nurse, she really couldn't see through it.
Lin Mansion.
Xiruo inquired about a lot of information and talked with Lin Yunwan at night.
"The Lin Mansion is divided into two branches, the East and the West. In fact, there are more than just these two branches. It's just that the other Lin clan members have not developed very well. One person in the family is a great leader, and then they gradually decline. They only rely on the East and West branches. Live on two."
"The two branches of the Lin family, one lives to the east of Jiang Qian and the other lives to the west of Jiang Qian, are called Donglin and Xilin."
"We are Xilin. The old man passed away many years ago. The old lady took the initiative to divide the family ten years ago, but it was just a division. The people in the third room still live together, and the old lady lives with the eldest man who is the eldest son."
"The elder was once a third-rank official in Jinling's civil service. He had several sons who were very promising. I heard that two of them won the imperial examination. His disciples were also promising. The elder personally promoted several candidates and one Jinshi. "
Lin Yunwan memorized everything after listening to it once.
She asked: "What is the relationship between the Dong family and the Lin family?"
That is Dong Shuangshuang’s natal family.
Xiruo said: "We used to be neighbors of the Lin family, but now they have moved away. I heard that they sold the house and exchanged it for a small house. The Lin family later bought the Dong family's house, and merged into the Lin family's house, and divided into There are two courtyards in the east and west. After the separation, it became the place where the eldest master and the third master now live."
Now half of the street is occupied by Lin's house.
Lin Yunwan sighed with emotion: "It is indeed a famous family... Xilin is not as good as Donglin, but it is already so respectable."
Lin Huabin's house is not considered wealthy, but the master's rules of maids and servants are not shabby at all.
I don’t know what kind of luxury the Lin family’s big room is!
"Dong Shuangshuang told me today that the old lady is a very cynical and sensible person."
Xiruo nodded: "That's not a lie! I heard that the eldest master was fond of studying when he was young, and asked the book boy to study for him. The old lady knew that she would not punish the book boy in the future, but she severely punished the eldest master in front of the servants. .”
"Girl, guess again, how the old lady punished the old man?"
Lin Yunwan thought for a while and said: "Corporal punishment is the lowest form of punishment. If it weren't for corporal punishment, there would be all kinds of ways to punish people. It depends on the old lady's vision and personality."
Xiruo smiled and said: "This old lady is really an interesting person. She punished the old man not to study, and asked the book boy to study for him. She also made the old man play happily."
"The scholar was originally a student. After studying for a month, he turned out to be decent. After only one month, the old man saw that the students were more advanced than him, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to tell the old lady that he would never be playful again. Son, you must concentrate on studying."
This old lady’s methods are really wonderful!
The eldest son of the Lin family is the eldest son of the Lin family. If he is worse than a book boy, the Lin family will not know how to laugh at him!
Not only does he lose face, but he also has a bad reputation if word spreads about it.
Lin Yunwan asked curiously: "What happened to the book boy?"
Xiruo smiled and said: "This is where the old lady is sensible. She pitied the scholar who was talented but not from a good background, so she supported him to study with the eldest master. I heard that he had obtained fame long ago and got rid of his slave status. Now he is He was once the great master’s right-hand man in Jiang Qian.”
"This matter has long been spread as a good story about Jiang Qian."
Lin Yunwan highly praised the old lady of the Lin family for her conduct.
There was one more important thing she hadn't asked yet.
"Before Miss Lin left the Lin Mansion, where was her wet nurse? How did she hit her stepmother's belly? What were the people serving the wife doing at that time?"
No matter how much the Zheng mother and daughter accused Miss Lin of making mistakes when she was in the west, the loopholes in it were too obvious!
Would the seven-year-old Miss Lin deliberately hit her stepmother in the stomach and break the back of her own head?
Lin Yunwan never believed it.
She said: "I know there are bad children born that day, but children are children after all, and they can't do the things they have to do by themselves."
Xiruo paused for a moment and then said: "Miss, what you are asking about is all strange. Miss Lin's wet nurse and the people who serve Mrs. Lin have both left the house now."
"It's okay for Miss Lin's wet nurse to leave the house. It's appropriate for her to leave the house when she doesn't need to nurse the baby anymore. It seems appropriate for the girl who served the wife to be kicked out because she made a mistake."
Xiruo continued to whisper: "But I heard that the one who serves the wife is the wife's dowry maid! She is very beautiful. At that time, there was no other girl in the Xilin Mansion who could compare with her. The girl also had a very good personality. When the slave asked about it, , no one said anything bad about her. My wife actually married her away..."
Lin Yunwan frowned.
Would this kind of girl really make such a fatal mistake?
She is also a pretty and useful girl, how could the mistress of the house not take a fancy to her? Why is Mrs. Zheng willing to marry far away?
It seems that this maid is more important than the wet nurse who serves Miss Lin!
She asked Xiruo: "Do you think it's easy to find out where that maid is?"
Xiruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Girl, it would be fastest if you ask the prince for this."
She took a step forward and tried her best to persuade Lin Yunwan: "Your Majesty is thorough in his work and it is easier than us. If the girl really wants to find out more about it, I really feel that there is no need to look far away."
Lin Yunwan was really moved.
