Chapter 159
"Your mother-in-law's family came here, why did you bring a relative with you?"
Lin Huabin was very dissatisfied.
The reason why his marriage to Zheng failed was not because of the Zheng family.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Zheng family looked down upon him as the least promising among the three brothers, but he was still young at that time! Zheng's mother often said unpleasant things. Later, when he came to ask for marriage, his mother-in-law really embarrassed him.
He has always been very generous, and he was very concerned about this matter.
"Master, this is a relative who is studying. Don't you sympathize most with those poor and motivated scholars?"
Ms. Zheng now speaks more and more softly, and no longer dares to lose her temper and act coquettishly in front of her husband like before.
It's not that she feels guilty.
That stepdaughter was originally unnecessary in the family. She deserved to be driven away by the plan.
But Yun Wan seems to be becoming more and more important in the master's heart... She is just a daughter who is about to get married, and she can't hold on to her.
Yunjiao wants to get married.
Lin Huabin heard that he was a scholar, and he was really interested.
"Where are you studying? How far have you studied?"
Zheng said with a smile: "I was studying in our hometown. Although I was not a famous county school, I was admitted as a scholar. My family said that it is rare for a relative to have a scholar, and he is so young. When he waits for the provincial examination next year, he will be selected as a scholar. .”
Lin Huabin himself is a scholar. He said warmly: "It's not so easy to win the exam."
...He is just a civil servant until now.
Mrs. Zheng thought that her husband might not like to hear this, and agreed with him with a sneer: "You are right. I just said that it is possible."
Lin Huabin nodded, thought for a moment, and asked curiously: "Tell me more specifically, how old is he? What is his appearance and height?"
To be a scholar, it is not enough to be able to read.
He must also be a decent person, wear official uniforms with style, and look good when drinking and drinking.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng talked endlessly, as if talking about her own son: "Master, I am not a nephew who insists on praising him -"
"How old is it?"
Lin Huabin didn't really want to hear about the Zheng family's foot-binding stuff.
Zheng stopped her eloquent words and said succinctly: "I'm eighteen. I'm as tall as you, sir."
Lin Huabin thought about it in his mind... and suddenly felt good.
"Are you married?"
"No. My sister-in-law is worried about this matter. Sir, please tell me - she is a good scholar and devotes herself to studying. At such an old age, she has not even married a wife."
While talking, he looked at Lin Huabin's expression.
She would not say that the scholar was awarded the title six years ago, but that the scholar had not made any progress in the following five years. He was amazing when he was young, but hurt Zhongyong when he grew up.
Lin Huabin didn't think too far. He took a sip from the teacup and said calmly: "It's time to marry a wife."
He is a man and has his own considerations when looking at things: "An eighteen-year-old scholar is not old. Men are not like women. It doesn't matter if they get married late."
Mrs. Zheng followed Lin Huabin's words and said distressedly: "My sister-in-law wants to be a matchmaker for my nephew, but she can't find a suitable girl. She also thinks that it is rare for any of the relatives of the Zheng family to be talented. That’s why you thought of entrusting it to me.”
"I……"
Seeing that Lin Huabin's expression did not change, she continued: "I don't want to agree. Master, you have always been kind to your peers and love your younger generations. I think you have to agree even if I don't agree."
Lin Huabin heard something interesting.
If it was really a matter for a scholar, there would be nothing wrong with him giving it a try.
There are quite a few scholars in the Lin family's gang. How could Jiang Qian not have members of their Lin family now?
However, the eldest brother has always been the master of the family, so it would be a good thing if he had more people of his own.
"Which girl does your sister-in-law like for him?"
Zheng sat next to Lin Huabin and leaned close to him.
Lin Huabin became wary.
Every time my wife acts coquettishly, she will cause trouble.
"Master, I think he is a good match for Yun Wan..."
"no!"
Lin Huabin stood up angrily, Zheng fell on the table, the hairpin fell off her head, and her hair was messed up.
She fixed the hairpin and stood up with an angry look on her face: "I'm not harming Yun Wan!"
Lin Huabin said with a serious face: "I told you a long time ago that you don't have to worry about Yun Wan's marriage. Have you turned a deaf ear?"
Mrs. Zheng was frightened.
No matter how much her husband loses his temper with her, he always talks about it on a case-by-case basis.
Why do you always change your face when it comes to your stepdaughter?
After being married for more than ten years, they rarely quarreled to this extent.
She suppressed her unhappiness and said patiently: "...He is just a scholar now, and a scholar is enough to match Yun Wan. But as my stepmother, of course I want Yun Wan to marry well."
"My nephew will definitely win the imperial examination next year. If you don't believe it, go and test his knowledge yourself."
"Master, not everyone in Jiang Qian is a candidate for marriage. Why don't you decide on Yun Wan's marriage first? Once he reaches high school next year, it won't be anyone else's turn."
Zheng sighed: "At that time, outsiders will understand my painstaking efforts."
He also thought he was generous and said: "I will prepare a generous dowry for Yun Wan."
"Giving a husband a son-in-law and a generous dowry. Send the child out in a lively manner. Master, isn't this enough?"
Mrs. Zheng sighed secretly, as her stepmother, she really did too much and was very good.
...But if it wasn't to send away the god of plague, why would she go to such lengths!
Lin Huabin did not refute Zheng again.
He didn't want Zheng to interfere in his fake daughter's marriage. Zhao Jingyi had the final say in Yun Wan's marriage. However, Zheng was right in saying that people are not everywhere.
Zhao Jingyi's illegitimate daughter is just an illegitimate daughter... it's more than enough to marry someone.
Zhao Jingyi hasn't thought about his daughter's marriage yet. What if he takes the initiative to arrange it for Zhao Jingyi? How should Zhao Jingyi thank him?
"master?"
Zheng didn't understand what her husband was thinking.
She had made such a big concession, what else could she think about, and she had to think about it for so long.
Lin Huabin raised his hand and said: "...Don't speak yet."
...Zhao Jingyi's attitude towards this daughter is really strange. He said he loved her, but he didn't care about the marriage. He said he didn't love her, but he was afraid that she would be wronged in the Lin Mansion.
His mother had reminded him not to offend anyone without even knowing who it was. It doesn't look like Ling Xiang was sent by Zhao Jingyi. But Yun Wan's marriage can give Zhao Jingyi's attitude a try, right?
Who did he offend? Does it have anything to do with this fake daughter?
Maybe you can try it out.
Lin Huabin said: "If he can really win the exam, that would be good."
This marriage has really come true, and he has a son-in-law who has been elected, and he has a bright face.
Zheng asked happily: "Do you agree?"
Lin Huabin said, "...Let's ask Yun Wan what she wants first."
If Yun Wan is very resistant, I'm afraid Zhao Jingyi will not be able to explain it.
Zheng's face stiffened.
The parents ordered the matchmaker to ask the stepdaughter about this kind of thing?
The master really indulges this eldest daughter too much!
But she has plenty of means.
"Don't worry, sir. If Yun Wan doesn't agree, I will never embarrass her."
"Um."
Lin Huabin had some official business to attend to and went to the study.
Mother Fan came up with a sad look on her face and asked, "Madam, can you really convince the eldest lady?"
She didn't believe that the eldest lady would listen to her wife.
Madam Zheng laughed angrily: "Whether she agrees or not, she has to agree!"
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became: "I carefully chose such a good husband for her, why didn't she agree? Do you really think it's so easy to pass the exam? If she doesn't even have this kind of self-awareness, she's really a white-eyed wolf!" "
She is really obsessed with her stepdaughter... she just wants to marry her off in style as soon as possible!
"Go to a banquet. Tell the eldest lady to dress up and attend. Don't neglect to meet your relatives."
Fan's mother felt uneasy after hearing this: "...Yes."
