Chapter 197
"Old lady."
Lin Yunwan went in to greet the old lady.
Lin Huabin glanced at Lin Yunwan and smiled gently. Because he felt guilty and didn't want to stay here anymore, he bowed to the old lady.
"Mother, my son has to leave first."
Mrs. Lin nodded, and after he left, she said to Lin Yunwan without hiding anything from her: "Your wife wants Yunjiao to get married at the same time as you."
Lin Yunwan smiled slightly.
"My parents have ordered me to marry Yunjiao whenever they want, and I have no control over it."
Mrs. Lin said: "Don't worry. I also know that your wife... must have bad intentions."
Lin Yunwan smiled.
The old lady sometimes took the initiative when speaking.
I heard her say again: "If she doesn't get her way this time, I don't know what will happen in the future."
"Since she wants Yun Jiao to marry you, then let's get married!"
It seems that the old lady has figured out what Zheng wants to do.
Lin Yunwan had nothing to say.
Mrs. Lin smiled kindly: "Good boy, just wait for your marriage with peace of mind."
He also patted the back of Lin Yunwan's hand affectionately, and when she left, he said: "The people from the Ministry of Etiquette have come over to ask for names, and then we will wait for the horoscopes to be combined, the betrothal and the wedding date to be decided. Once the betrothal gift is given, the rest will be settled. It’s almost here.”
"You will be busy in the future, and Aunt Wang will come over to teach you etiquette. Auntie Fan, come here when you have time. Don't come if you don't have time. Don't tire yourself out."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
Mrs. Lin also said with a kind heart: "I think you only have two girls who follow you around all the time, and one of them is not even old enough to have hairpins, and is a bit too young. I will keep an eye on a few steady girls for you. , this way you won’t be in a hurry.”
Sure enough, it belongs to the fortress.
Lin Yunwan declined: "Old madam, these two maids are very useful, especially Cuiqin. Although she is young, she is very stable. I can't control any more."
In fact, why does the girl the old lady chooses need to be controlled?
That's all been trained.
Mrs. Lin did not force her, and said very kindly: "It's up to you. If you feel that the girl is not enough in the future, come and tell me at any time."
"Thank you, madam."
Lin Yunwan had dinner with the old lady and returned to Bixi Hall after dark.
She was doing her purse under the lamp.
Cuiqin came in and lit several lamps.
Xiruo sat down and asked, "Girl, your wife wants to marry the second young lady with you, aren't you worried?"
The needlework in Lin Yunwan's hand did not stop.
"The old lady knows what's going on. I have nothing to worry about."
She smiled faintly: "My wife can't compete with the old lady. If it weren't for the evil spirit, the old lady would not have agreed to my wife's marriage back then."
"Now there is no such thing as a weapon that can be used against rats."
Compared with Lin Huabin and the entire Lin family, which one is more important? The old lady has a very clear scale in her heart.
Cuiqin slapped her, but she was afraid that Lin Yunwan would see it, so she tried her best to endure it.
Lin Yunwan saw the water in her eyes and said, "Okay, you go back and rest. You are tired after a day of looking at the yard."
Cuiqin was very embarrassed.
Xiruo got up and said, "Sister Cuiqin, go back quickly! I will take care of you tonight."
Cuiqin didn't want to leave yet, but Xiruo said, "You can come early tomorrow, I don't want to get up early."
Cuiqin simply said yes.
After Xiruo closed the door, Lin Yunwan sighed slightly and said, "The only thing I'm worried about now is Miss Lin's affairs..."
A few days later, Lin Yunwan happened to hear something.
"Aunt Fan isn't here?"
When she went to find Aunt Fan, she heard the little maid next to Aunt Fan say: "Go back to my girl, I went to fulfill my wish. I won't come back until three days later."
Lin Yunwan didn't say anything and went back with Xiruo.
"Why did Aunt Fan leave at this time?"
Xiruo felt something was wrong.
Lin Yunwan thought for a while and then said: "I have been with Aunt Fan for so long, and I have never heard of her going to offer incense alone to fulfill her wishes."
"It's a troubled time in the Lin family now. The old lady is not in good health. There are many things that the old lady can't make up her mind about, so she needs the help of Aunt Fan."
"It seems that Aunt Fan is doing something for the old lady that must be done but cannot be made public."
Xiruo said: "What is it? Can't the old lady even let the eldest lady know?"
This is the head mistress of the Lin family.
Lin Yunwan said quietly: "It must be between me and Miss Lin."
Xiruo understood.
A few days later, Aunt Fan came back. Lin Yunwan went to learn the piano and smelled a smell from Aunt Fan, a very strong smell of incense.
When leaving Aunt Fan, Xiruo asked, "The smell on Aunt Fan is too strong."
Lin Yunwan said: "Not only is it too strong, it also smells like paper money..."
Xiruo recalled the smell just now, lowered her head to smell it, shook her head and said, "I didn't smell it."
Lin Yunwan had a good nose and could tell what it was coming from at the slightest hint of smell.
She said firmly: "Aunt Fan has gone to do the ritual for Miss Lin on behalf of the old lady."
Xiruo was silent and said, "Can Miss Lin rest in peace in this way?"
"No way."
Lin Yunwan was silent all the way back to Bixi Hall, and then said with soft eyes: "If the Lin Mansion is really good for her, it should return the things that belong to her mother to the Su family."
Is it really useful to just perform a ritual ceremony and give the dead souls a place to rest?
She doesn't think so.
A few days later, Prince Huan's Mansion came to present the results of the horoscope.
Needless to say, Grandma Wang smiled broadly: "It's a great match!"
The Lin Mansion was also very satisfied and happily sent away the people from Prince Huan's Mansion. Mrs. Lin made up her mind and said: "The next person from the Prince's Mansion will be hired. Come to my place to discuss Yun Wan's dowry."
Lin Huabin and Zheng looked at each other, both of them had their own agenda.
Lin Yunwan couldn't listen to this. She hid behind the screen. This was allowed by the old lady. When it came to the dowry, she had to avoid it.
"Let's go back."
She whispered to Xiruo, went back and gave the embroidered purse to Xiruo, and said, "Give it to the prince."
"Go and see Mr. Su for me again."
Xiruo went there for a long time before coming back. First, she told Lin Yunwan about Master Su: "The dowry list from back then has been sorted out."
"Master Su also said that he has prepared everything that should be prepared. Let the girl rest assured."
Just as Lin Yunwan nodded, she saw Xiruo was in a very difficult position.
"What's wrong?"
Xiruo said: "Your Majesty asked your servant to tell you in advance that you don't have to go back to Beijing for your wedding with Your Majesty."
Lin Yunwan said blankly: "What should I do if I don't go back to Beijing?"
It must be very difficult to return to Beijing now, as the time before her "death" is too short.
She frowned and said, "But when a prince gets married, he has to worship heaven and earth and pay homage to the emperor and the empress. It is impossible for the emperor and empress to leave the capital."
