Chapter 179
Lin Huabin rarely spoke harsh words to Lin Yunwan. He also felt that he was too strict with a girl who had not left the court. He smiled and said, "Uncle is just chatting with you casually. Don't take it seriously."
Lin Yunwan's face was calm and her heart was very calm.
She ignored Lin Huabin's almost insulting attack and asked to the point: "Uncle Lin, you seem to want the second lady to marry the prince? But since the prince is getting married, can't sister Yunjiao go and have a baby?"
"Even if you are a child. Sister Yunjiao is too young to be a concubine for the prince."
"When the prince gets married, it will take at least a year and a half from preparing for the wedding to marrying the princess to the palace."
"With a new princess, it is impossible for the prince to take concubines in the first year. Isn't that a slap in the face of the princess?"
"Based on this, sister Yunjiao will have to wait for about two years."
The smile on Lin Huabin's face faded.
These words spoke to his heart!
If King Huan was not interested in his daughter, he would still want Jiaoer to marry her, unless it was to make him a child for the prince.
Given Lin's family background, it would be honorable for a legitimate daughter to serve as a nanny for Prince Huan.
But which father is willing to let his biological daughter be raised by others?
He also didn't want to get a bad reputation for clinging to the powerful.
"Yun Wan, what do you have in mind?"
Lin Huabin didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly wanted to ask Lin Yunwan what he meant. She can analyze it so clearly, maybe she has some ideas.
"No."
Lin Yunwan was happy and didn't want to stay anymore.
But before Lin Huabin finished speaking, he said: "Your father wants to see you. You decide when the time is right and ask for leave in advance from Aunt Fan."
Lin Yunwan thought for a while and then said: "In three days."
Lin Huabin said: "That will be in three days."
Thinking of what Zheng said, he was afraid that Zheng was fooling him, so he asked Lin Yunwan: "...I heard from my wife that you often go to her place to sit, and have you met your cousin Wenhai several times?"
Lin Yunwan paused and suddenly understood Lin Huabin's intention... Zhao Jingyi wouldn't want to see her for nothing. Is it because of her and Wen Hai?
Then she wanted to see Zhao Jingyi even more.
Otherwise, everything would have to be decided by Lin Huabin and Zheng.
"yes."
Lin Yunwan answered very simply.
Lin Huabin smiled, waved and said, "Go."
Lin Yunwan returned to Bixi Hall at night, and Xiruo led the way with a lantern.
When they got to the yard, Xiruo turned off the lights and went into the house. Lin Yunwan told her: "Prepare a few small purses and put some silver in them."
"I'm going to pick a maid tomorrow, she'll come in handy."
"yes."
Xiruo went to find Lin Yunwan's money box. After entering the Lin Mansion, they also had money to exchange for some silver and silver coins to fill a small box.
Weighed the weight on a scale and put it into several purses.
"Girl, pretend."
Lin Yunwan lay on the couch with her eyes closed, and said calmly: "Prepare another one for me..."
Xiruo couldn't wait for a long time, so she walked over and asked, "What's a portion?"
Lin Yunwan pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing."
If the prince really wants to marry a wife, he won't do it so quickly. Even if he wants to give him a gift, it won't be in a hurry at this time.
The next day, Fan's mother came over early in the morning and urged: "Girl, the girls are waiting in the meeting hall."
Lin Yunwan didn't let her wait any longer. She had already dressed up as soon as she went out, and said, "Mother Fan, lead the way."
Fan's mother took her over. There was a group of maids standing in the yard outside the meeting hall. The oldest one looked to be seventeen years old, but her figure was bulky and her eyes were dull.
Xiruo clenched her fist and glanced at Fan's mother.
This kind of maid will be released from the house soon, why should she be given to the girl to choose from?
Fan's mother just pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Girl, go sit inside."
When Lin Yunwan entered, several yellow-haired girls stood on tiptoes to look, with pity on their faces.
"Girl, those little ones are useless."
He is only eight or nine years old, can he be trained?
Mother Fan stepped forward with a smile: "Girl, this slave has chosen the best for you to choose."
Lin Yunwan didn't even look at her, and said calmly: "I can see it."
Fan's mother was stunned instead.
What did you see?
She glanced at the maid outside unconfidently, and said rudely: "I can see how good you are in training people, Mother Fan. No wonder..."
Fan's mother's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
Lin Yunwan didn't want to start a legal battle with her, so she ordered: "Mother Fan, those who give birth to children stand on the left, and those who buy children stand on the right."
Fan's mother held her breath and went out to deliver the message.
He secretly said: "I don't have a high status, but I have a very impressive personality, which is even comparable to the style of the head wife..."
See what you can pick out today!
"Did you hear what the girl said? Those who are born in the family will stand on the left, and those who are not born in the family will go to the right."
The girls were quickly divided into two sides, with each kind of girl occupying half.
Generally, a wealthy family like the Lin Mansion has the most children, but the Lin Mansion's second wife is different, so the number of children is only half.
The girls who were born in the family murmured in a low voice: "...Doesn't this mean you don't want us?"
"That's of course. The eldest lady must have chosen a maid as a dowry. Our family is so messy. Everyone in the family is related to my wife no matter what. The eldest lady definitely doesn't want her."
The home-born girl suddenly became dejected.
"Although Madam does not favor the eldest lady, she is still a second- and third-class maid. There are not many close friends around the eldest lady, alas..."
I thought I could attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
But there was a maid who kept her eyes down, her head lowered, and didn't say a word.
Fan's mother turned around and said, "Wait for the girl to show you."
Lin Yunwan continued: "The children came over one after another and talked about their own affairs."
Fan's mother was also very surprised: "You want to choose a family to give birth to?"
The ones born in this family are not only good at hands, but the good ones have already been used by the masters, wives, and mothers who are in charge of everything, but it is difficult to choose the good ones.
Xiruo said: "You just follow the eldest lady's instructions."
"……yes."
Mother Fan called for the home-born girl. Before the first maid came in, she asked, "Girl, what do you want the home-born girl to say?"
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "Tell me about the size of your family, your past as an errand, and what you are good at."
Mother Fan nodded, walked to the corridor and spoke loudly to the maids, and then asked the first girl who came in: "Did you hear that?"
"heard it."
The girl was very nervous and went in with her head lowered.
Fan's mother stood at the door and muttered in her heart: "...she really has the style of a eldest lady. Is it because she was trained by Aunt Fan?"
She looked at the eldest lady sitting in the main seat of the meeting hall.
"It seems to be different from when I first entered the mansion..."
Why do I feel so much more precious!
If this was paired with Young Master Wen Haibiao, it would be too cheap for him!
