Chapter 247
"This tea is really good. It's a new tea this year."
Lin Yunjiao took a bite and liked it very much.
Since marrying Wen Hai, she has not drunk new tea for a long time, either old tea or ordinary tea.
Lin Yunwan said: "If you like it, take some back with you."
"I don't want anything from you. Don't send me away like a beggar. I'm here to talk to you about business."
Lin Yunjiao still has the same bad temper. If anyone makes her unhappy, she will take it back.
Lin Yunwan seemed to be a lot more patient: "You can tell me what's important."
Lin Yunjiao told the story of Ge Baoer coming to her. She didn't hide anything and told the truth: "I told her that when you returned to the Lin family, it happened that the eldest daughter of the Lin family passed away not long ago..."
She felt a little guilty and quickly said harshly: "She knew this as soon as she checked it out. She would have known it sooner or later if I didn't tell her!"
"Um."
Lin Yunwan nodded, and she asked Lin Yunjiao: "Are you going to promise the Lu family's aunt to identify me?"
"Of course I won't!"
Lin Yunjiao was so anxious that she stood up. She said, "I'm not stupid! If something happens to the Lin family, what can I do for you?"
Lin Yunwan smiled.
Lin Yunjiao sat back again, looked at Lin Yunwan's features, and asked in a low voice: "You...are you? Are you from the Lin family, or from our Lin family?"
Lin Yunwan still smiled and gently lowered her head to drink tea: "I am the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Lin family. Everyone knows it."
Lin Yunjiao didn't quite believe it.
But she didn't want to ask anymore. When she left, she said stubbornly: "The wrong things done by the Lin family and my father cannot be entirely blamed on my mother or me. No matter which family you are from, my mother and I I don’t owe you anything.”
Lin Yunwan looked at her and said, "Let's bring something back to the child later."
Lin Yunjiao didn't say she didn't want it, nor did she say she wanted it.
Lin Yunwan asked Cuiqin to give Lin Yunjiao a gift and signaled her to take the eight hundred taels of silver notes as well.
Cuiqin could speak Jiang Qian's words, and the two of them even exchanged a few words.
After leaving the palace, Lin Yunjiao said to the coachman, "Take me to a tailor shop."
She chose some clothes for Wen Hai and her children. When she saw the fresh flowers, she was very moved, so she also chose some clothes for herself and her mother-in-law.
She didn't want to buy it for her mother-in-law, but in order to avoid quarrels at home, she still bought it for Wen's mother.
As soon as I got home, I met Wen Hai.
"Brother Hai."
Wen Hai was drunk and had just won the imperial examination, so he rarely had to socialize.
"Yunjiao, where have you been?"
Lin Yunjiao was exhausted and said, "Can't you see what I'm carrying?"
Wen Hai quickly ran over: "I'll come, I'll come."
This habit was developed by him when Lin Yunjiao was in confinement.
At that time, I was afraid that she would hurt herself by lifting something heavy.
Lin Yunjiao went back empty-handed. When she got home, she used her clothes to mark Wen Hai's body.
"Yunjiao, didn't you say that there will be plenty of money to spend in the future, so why don't you save some money? Why did you buy me clothes again?"
"Nonsense! Now that you are the master of civil engineering, how can you still wear such shabby clothes?"
Lin Yunjiao smiled coquettishly and said, "And I have money."
"Where did you get the money?"
Wen Hai knew in his heart that since marrying into his family, Lin Yunjiao had transformed from a delicate young lady with a lot of money to a woman who managed the family with very little money in her hands.
The dowry given by the Lin family back then was almost spent.
Later, the Lin family somehow became frugal and did not subsidize them too much.
Over the years, the couple has been living a small life on their own.
"Don't worry."
Lin Yunjiao thought of the eight hundred taels of silver notes Cuiqin had hidden in the gift.
After so many years, she only had this small amount of money, so she didn't owe her sister!
"Yunjiao, thank you."
Wen Hai said suddenly.
Lin Yunjiao's face turned slightly red: "Why are you still so sour!"
Wen Hai was also very embarrassed. He said he was going to study.
Lin Yunjiao told him: "It's okay to drink with others, but remember not to mention that we are the princess's family, do you hear that?"
"I heard it. I remember everything you said."
Knowing that his wife didn't like to owe money to the princess's family, he had never regarded himself as the prince's brother-in-law.
Lin Yunjiao felt happy. She smiled and said, "Debt-free and light-hearted."
She no longer needs the dowry from her sister's biological mother. Although she is poor, she can live her life on her own.
Wen Hai laughed: "When I become an official and have a salary, I will send some money to Zhuangzi for my mother-in-law."
Lin Yunjiao was not in a good mood when she mentioned this.
Mother Wen is back.
Her son had won the imperial examination, and she had become a very popular figure in the neighborhood these days. She quickly became familiar with everyone, and went everywhere to check in.
According to her, "Our Wen family has taken root in the capital. From now on, our brothers and sisters will all become residents of the capital. They will marry wives from the capital and marry the masters of the capital."
Lin Yunjiao was also happy to hear this.
Wen's mother then said: "It would be best for Wen Hai to marry a daughter-in-law from the capital city."
Wen Hai grimaced: "Mom, don't I already have Yunjiao? I have a great reputation, so it would be inappropriate to divorce my wife."
Mother Wen began to criticize Lin Yunjiao's bad qualities.
Lin Yunjiao saw Wen's mother coming home drunk from the window, her steps unsteady, and teased Wen Hai: "Look, your mother might have gone to find a wife for you."
Wen Hai said sarcastically: "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Yunjiao pinched him: "Your mother said today that you should divorce me. She also said that she would give you concubines. If one is not enough, she wants to take two!"
"Yunjiao, I won't listen to my mother."
"snort."
Lin Yunjiao smiled and asked the maid to give the food to the children.
Wen Hai held the book and sighed: "A good husband doesn't fight with his wife, he doesn't fight with his wife..."
\
"My mother wrote a letter to say that after Yun Yi won the election, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage to him almost crossed the threshold."
Lin Yunwan held the letter and was in a good mood.
Qi Lingheng said: "Isn't this good?"
"OK."
Lin Yunwan smiled and said, "But Yun Yi said himself that he wants to wait until after the examination before considering marriage."
"Young people are promoted to young scholars. The threshold of your natal family really needs to be changed."
Qi Lingheng made a joke.
Lin Yunwan thought of Mrs. Chang: "I wonder if the Chang family will regret it."
"You still need to guess?"
Qi Lingheng raised his eyebrows.
Lin Yunwan smiled.
Mrs. Chang regretted that her intestines were green. There were also people from the Chang family who took the provincial examination, but no one from the Chang family passed the examination this year.
After meeting Lin Yunwan at Chixiang Temple that day, she felt relieved about Lin Yunyi's exam.
Changfu Yin also paid great attention to this young man.
After leaving the Yamen and returning home, he felt very regretful: "I just said that this kid from the Lin family is pretty good. Look at it. You missed it."
Mrs. Chang was very regretful: "How did I know that Mrs. Xingguo would do such a despicable thing! Bah! She is really not a thing."
Changfu Yin also heard about the young man of the Lin family and said, "If you are very fond of that child, you can ask a matchmaker to make peace with him."
"Make peace?"
Mrs. Chang's heart was bleeding: "I'm afraid even the Chang family won't be able to squeeze through the door of the Lin family now!"
Changfu Yin asked: "You have already sent someone there, but they were rejected?"
Mrs. Chang's face turned red: "No, I just asked the servant to go to Lin's house and have a look..."
If you haven’t achieved anything, you haven’t achieved it. Even though it’s a pity, you won’t keep pursuing it.
But she was really unwilling to do so.
Mrs. Chang gritted her teeth and said, "It's all the fault of Duke Xingguo!"
Changfu Yin was also puzzled: "The Chen family has somehow offended Princess Huan again, and there have been many setbacks in the Duke of Shen Guo's palace. I heard that the emperor wants to summon Duke Xing Guo back to the capital."
"Just because of Princess Huan?"
Mrs. Chang was surprised.
Chang Fuyin said: "That's not entirely true." Naturally, political affairs come first, followed by family affairs.
Mrs. Chang encouraged her husband: "Let's also take a look at the Chen family!"
She couldn't swallow this breath.
Changfu Yin asked: "What are we taking part in? Mrs. Chen ruined our daughter's marriage?"
Mrs. Chang said: "Master, won't you find something wrong with the Xingguo Palace? The Chen family has always been domineering, and it's not like they can't find any excuses."
The cooked duck flew away.
His son-in-law...
Changfu Yin nodded and went to the study to write a book. He also wrote a letter to his eldest son-in-law, and they went to Xingguogong's mansion together.
Everyone in Duke Xingguo's mansion was in a state of panic.
When disaster struck, Mrs. Chen realized that she simply could not afford to offend Princess Huan!
"Auntie is here."
When Mrs. Chen heard that Ge Baoer was coming, she suddenly felt exhausted mentally and physically, and still said: "Let her in."
Ge Baoer walked in quickly, threw himself in front of Mrs. Chen, and said, "Mom, I found evidence to expose her identity! She is not Princess Huan at all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family and the former mistress of Wu Dinghou!"
Mrs. Chen felt a little reluctant to help her daughter.
