After the rebirth, the beautiful and tragic heroine was madly criticized

Chapter 286 The Price That Can't Be Rejected

Anjia, An Ning went out to do errands early in the morning.

Aunt An was holding her belly, supported by the little girl, and a few followed behind her, carrying breakfast and a few flowers.

A group of people came to the small courtyard where Lin Zhixiu lived.

Last night, my aunt lit Lin Zhixiu's requiem incense, so even though she tossed and turned, she finally slept most of the night.

At this moment, the sun was already high, and she was still lazily lying on the bed in her pajamas.

Hearing that Dong Yun said that his aunt was coming, he quickly got off the ground and greeted him, "Auntie, don't be so busy! Xiu'er is already so old, why should I take care of you!"

Aunt An was instructing the little girls to set up breakfast, and said with a smile, "Auntie is so happy that you can stay here! On weekdays, when your uncle leaves, I'm the only one at home. It's so quiet."

She put the flowers in the vase with her own hands and fiddled with "How strange do you say: when my aunt was not married, she stayed by herself day by day. Reading, writing, playing the piano, making incense, and embroidering flowers. Often things are not finished, and the sky is always busy." It’s dark. But since I married your uncle, I can’t do anything anymore! Except for making a few underwear for your uncle, I have never taken needlework, let alone writing and playing the piano. My heart is like grass, I hope someone Come, eat, drink tea, chat... as long as people come, I am happy! Ha ha!"

Lin Zhixiu also laughed, and a few maids waited on her to wash and wash.

Aunt An said, "When your Aunt Li lived nearby, she would come here almost every day. Also, my natal family, as long as they go out, will come here for a while! Originally, I said to your cousin or cousin, do it. A few pairs of soft-soled shoes, everything is ready, I have been gesturing for a long time, but I haven’t done a single stitch! What’s wrong with me? Oh, I’m so stupid!”

Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "That's just right, starting from today, Xiu'er will do it with you! You will be a girl, and I will be a boy!"

Aunt An sat down beautifully, "Okay, after you have breakfast, let's start. Boil some water, and I'll make tea...Xiu'er, see if there is anything you want to eat. Well, if there is anything you want to eat, let They can go out and buy."

After Lin Zhixiu finished packing, she looked at the breakfast and said, "So much to buy?!"

She is sitting at the table and is about to eat.

A girl came in, "Madam, girl, King Cheng Qiansui is here. He is at the front! The prince asked, can he come in..."

Aunt An looked at Lin Zhixiu, "Xiu'er, your uncle is not here. If you don't want him to come in, Auntie will arrange someone to entertain him."

Lin Zhixiu said, "Oh... I'll change clothes and let him in!" Back in the bedroom, she changed into a more formal one, and asked Nanny Song to simply comb her hair neatly.

When he came out again, Li Cheng had already come in, sitting at the breakfast table, fiddling with chopsticks and plates.

It looked like he hadn't eaten breakfast either.

Seeing her come out, Li Cheng smiled all over his face, "Axiu, haven't you eaten breakfast yet? I haven't eaten either! Come and join us... Did you sleep well yesterday? Did you have any nightmares?"

The aunt stood by the door and told the girl, "Go get some more!"

Lin Zhixiu was really distressed to see that he didn't treat herself as an outsider at all.However, there was nothing good to do with him, so I had to say, "I haven't eaten yet, didn't you go to the morning court?"

Li Cheng said, "I didn't go! I sent a message to the palace saying that I went to the suburbs of Beijing. Originally, no one cared about me. Father has something to do, so he will specially recruit him!"

Lin Zhixiu walked to his aunt, "Auntie, go and rest for a while! Don't worry about this place!"

Aunt An is already in the late pregnancy, she has a big belly and can't sit still.As long as she and Lin Zhixiu are together, it's more casual.It's inconvenient to be in front of a stranger, so he nodded, "Your uncle will be back in a while!"

After sending his aunt away, Lin Zhixiu looked back and saw that Li Cheng had already eaten.Shaking his head helplessly, what is this all about!
Walking over to sit down, Li Cheng carefully put egg rolls, smoked fish, and a small bowl of bean curd on the plate in front of her. "The bean curd from Uncle's house tastes really good!"

Who is your uncle!
Lin Zhixiu took a sip, "This is made by my uncle's teaching chef. If my uncle cooks it himself, the taste will be better. Aunt Li's is also delicious!"

Li Cheng thought of Li Feng, curled his lips, "Li Feng is a very troublesome man! He's bothering, he wants to marry two wives!" He spared no effort to smear Li Feng.

Lin Zhixiu said, "The world is as black as crows!"

Li Cheng ate in a serious manner, "I don't know what you're talking about~~ Huh? This shrimp porridge is very fresh, try it... Our family has two good cooks, and Uncle Dong paid a lot of money to find them. "

Lin Zhixiu rolled her eyes and said, "Who and you are our family!"

Li Cheng did not argue, but went on to say, "It's a pity that there is no one at home on weekdays, and they are all good at it, so there is no use for it. It turns out that Uncle Dong is a picky eater, but he said that he has become a little fat recently, so he dare not eat more." Eat. When you come in, the house may not always have guests, and it will be lively. Just let them show off their skills!"

Lin Zhixiu was so angry that she put the bowl away, "Don't keep telling me these things!"

Li Chengli ignored it, and buried his head in eating, "Try it first when you turn around, and if you don't feel good, you can find a few more. Don't worry, I will always make you fat for nothing."

Lin Zhixiu saw that what he said was getting more and more outrageous, so she mentioned something else, "Did you meet after His Royal Highness King Jin came back?"

Li Cheng said, "See you! I've come to him to make up our minds about our affairs. The second elder brother said that it was probably the eldest princess who asked the emperor to take care of her family before she died. So... our affairs It’s hard to handle. We can only settle it first and talk about it later!”

Lin Zhixiu snorted, "What kind of bad idea is this giving you?"

Li Cheng said, "Second brother is right! Besides, the second brother said that he managed the business smoothly this time, thanks to you! I will find a chance to thank you! When the Lin family's affairs are settled, I will send the second brother Come here! Let him speak to you himself!"

Lin Zhixiu said, "I don't need him to thank you! Yuan Jing also helped me with a big event, we shouldn't have done it! I don't want to have a match with him, he has too many intentions!"

Li Cheng said, "Second brother is so smart! When he comes back this time, Emperor Father has treated him well!"

Lin Zhixiu said, "Hey, what is it? It's not bad... Is it because he does his errands well? Maybe it's something!" , and always trying to figure it out!

In his previous life, King Jin was cautious, and finally got through it, but it was still so miserable in the end!

She looked at Li Cheng with disgust. Both father and son had brain problems.

Li Cheng is very satisfied that Lin Zhixiu lives in An's house, he can come anytime, he can see her when he comes, he can be so close, and he can have breakfast together.

He has a clear expression on his face, talking high and low, even swaying, and giggling from time to time...

At noon, An Ning came back. When she saw Li Cheng there, she couldn't help but frowned, and her face was not good.

Li Cheng hurriedly flattered him, his uncle was long, and his uncle was short, which made An Ning don't know how to respond to him.

In the afternoon, Lin Ji came.

He came out of the palace with some confidence in his heart, and went directly to An's house without going home to discuss with his father.

In the front living room, everyone sat down, and Lin immediately asked about Lin Zhixiu's physical condition, with a serious attitude and a gentle expression.

Like how much he cared.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile, "My lord, brother An, Xiu'er... well, I can figure out what happened yesterday if I ask anyhow. It's not complicated at all... But, Uncle really doesn't know where to start. It's like seeing a ghost!"

This is not a lie. After the father and son asked the question, they gathered at the front and said something, and everyone felt incredible.

"There was no premeditation. Before, even if there was dissatisfaction with Zhixiu, it was absolutely not to the point of death. Alas, you fell into a coma after receiving the order. A doctor was found at home, and even the imperial doctor was invited. After looking at it for a long time, it didn’t look any better. When your grandmother and aunt talked about it... for some reason, I remembered the dissatisfaction that I didn’t pay attention to on weekdays..."

Lin Zhixiu listened silently.

Lin immediately said, "Xiu'er, you also know that your grandmother is not used to some of your actions. It's not that you are unfilial... but that she feels that you are not in her favor. For example, you and the original fifth aunt, the Lin family The second room, the fourth aunt, etc., are too close. And she is too far away from her grandmother, your aunt, aunt, and even the eldest sister. Especially your third aunt, the two seem to have enmity..."

Lin smiled wryly and shook his head.

An Ning said, "We're all one family, so to speak, we get closer. Isn't that a natural thing?"

Lin immediately said, "Well, it's not a big deal, but... the Fang family made the Lin family lose face. She is about to enter Prince An's mansion, and it will be a headache if we meet again in the future. The second room old lady of the Lin family , and your grandmother, decades of stumbling...but you are very affectionate with her..."

He shook his head, "It's just these trivial things. If you talk too much together...they will get very angry. They know that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the matter of the prince and Zhixiu. They think that the acquaintance of the two of you is not in accordance with the rules."

He glanced at the two of them.

Both were expressionless.

Lin immediately said, "The prince pays too much attention to Zhixiu, and Zhixiu became dizzy because he was dissatisfied with the position of side concubine. Something big will happen. So, I came to the conclusion that if Zhixiu is good, the Lin family may not be good. If Zhixiu keeps tossing about, the Lin family will be in bad luck."

"Then... that's it. In fact, when it was actually implemented, your grandmother already regretted it. Your aunt was too frightened and didn't know what to do, so she had no choice but to go ahead. Fortunately, you woke up in time. Well, the tragedy never happened..."

He had a happy and helpless face.

After hearing this, Li Cheng and An Ning didn't believe it...

Lin Zhixiu knew more about them, and her description of the old lady and the eldest lady seemed to be true.As for Huang Shi, no matter what time it is, she is the one who hides and provokes, and will never jump out easily to lead the development of the situation...

She asked lightly, "Now that the situation is clarified, what can the Lin family say?"

Lin Jizhengse said, "The mistress of the Lin family behaved like this. Your grandfather and uncle will never show favoritism. Your grandfather said that he would build a Buddhist hall at home to let your grandmother cultivate her morality. In the future, she will not come out easily."

It just so happened that Fang Qunqun was about to marry into Prince An's Mansion. Her temperament would definitely show off in social activities... Maybe something would happen when she met an old lady!
Instead of letting people in the capital watch the jokes, it's better to let her hide here.

Lin Ji's eyes showed a hint of sternness, "Your aunt...give the housekeeping power to your sister-in-law. Your third aunt...you also know your third uncle's temper...you got into a lot of trouble with her, she...that's it Come on! That's how it is at home."

An Ning said, "That's all?!"

Lin Ji said, "Now, let's talk about the agreement between the two families. Alas, Zhixiu, uncle is not capable. A big family needs to eat, drink, spend, and maintain various relationships. Please forgive uncle, there is no way to do it like what brother An said." As you said, return the property... I have already confessed to the emperor about this matter and apologized."

Everyone waited for him to finish.

He closed his mouth for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Besides, back then... there were some secrets. But after many years, there is no need to mention it again. The emperor is sympathetic and took care of his uncle. He has given you several compensation plans, listen: the first one , is for Zhixiu. It is a foregone conclusion that you will enter the Chengcheng Palace, and it cannot be changed. But the emperor is going to confer you the title of "Shuxiu" county head, and will also confer a first-rank madam."

When An Ning heard this, his eyes lit up.

Cheng Wangzhengfei, that is the princess.Xiu'er has no title, no parents, and is far from He Qingxun's status as Princess Heqingxun.It is certain to be angry in the future.

But with the title and rank, and, moreover, having the imperial order earlier than that princess, then there is no difference...

Lin Zhixiu listened, expressionless.

Li Cheng didn't think so, anyway, Axiu was his wife, it didn't matter if she had a title or not.

But An Ning didn't hide her joyful face, Lin saw it in her eyes, and felt much more at ease in her heart.

He said slowly, "The second thing is Brother An. King Qing is old and has put down a lot of business affairs. I am afraid that Brother An is almost at the end of Qing Palace. In the future, the prince will help you plan one or two... ...The emperor promised to give you a servant of the household department, a fourth-rank official position, and a good job! The things you do are similar to what you are doing now! Jumping to the fourth rank all at once, it can be said that Brother An has a bright future! Then However, it is an errand to be able to talk to the emperor!"

This time, An Ning was a little dumbfounded.

According to himself, he doesn't particularly care.

But, he married Ren Baihui!In Ren's family, he was the least mentioned of all the people.

Accompany his wife back to her natal home, she is afraid that he will be despised by others.And he was afraid that his wife would be looked down upon by others because of him.

What's more, he is going to have a child!
I'm going to be a father!

After staying in the capital for a long time, do you still not know what a good father means?

His heart was pounding with joy...but he also felt like this, sorry for his niece.

My face is all red...

Lin Zhixiu became excited after hearing this.Uncle has taken several steps from being an official under King Qing to being a full-time official at the court!

This time, my uncle will help my grandfather's house to stand up.

After the cousin is born, what else is there to worry about in the future?

Her eyes lit up too.

Lin saw it from the corner of his eye, and sneered in his heart: I just said, you can't buy people's hearts, it's just that the price is not enough!
"And the third one... If our trivial matters are resolved... the emperor decides that on September [-]th, there is still less than a month left before His Highness will marry Zhixiu, and Zhixiu will enter the palace first!"

When Li Cheng heard it, he jumped up immediately, "What?! Really?! Father really said that?!"

Lin Zhixiu and An Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Li Cheng turned around Lin Zhixiu with a wry smile, "Axiu! This news is really great! I'll go back to the palace in a while to thank my father! Oh, my father, I really know my son so well!"

He turned around a few times, leaned in front of Lin Zhixiu, knelt down on one leg, and held Lin Zhixiu's hand with both hands.

Lin Zhixiu blushed.

Lin Ji turned pale with shock, stood up abruptly, pointed at Lin Zhixiu with trembling hands: What a disaster!If the emperor saw this scene, it would be strange if he didn't chop off your head! !

Quickly turned around, coughed hard, and pretended not to see it.

But Li Cheng said there, "Axiu, are you satisfied with the rewards my father gave you? If there is any dissatisfaction, I will go with my father! If you are satisfied, then agree?! I have to go back and deal with it quickly." ! Oops, time is so tight!"

Lin Zhixiu pulled out her hand forcefully.

Li Cheng rubbed his hands and grinned: put the person by your side, and you don't have to worry about anything!
He begged, "Axiu...Uncle... just agree!"

Lin Zhixiu cursed bitterly in her heart: This dog emperor is really a bastard.

He is a smash!
Lin Ji laughed secretly, but decided to add more fire, he went over, helped Cheng Wang up, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I also heard something... Your Majesty received a briefing saying that there are bandits making trouble in Qinghai. Your Majesty is going to take another look. If the situation is serious, he might as well send a valuable general to suppress the bandits! The first thing he thought of was you. So, we have to end the matter quickly, in case... Sending you there won't mean everything is pending!" Li Cheng became anxious when he heard this, it's a business matter, if he really wants to send him, he can't say anything else!

But go to Qinghai?Let's not talk about whether the suppression of bandits is going well or not, just come and go, it will take half a year!

How does that work? !

He became even more anxious, "Axiu! Xiu'er, I feel that both the father and the Lin family are very sincere! You have suffered and been wronged! You are a junior in the Lin family, surrounded by your elders, You are born weak. However, it will be different when you enter my house, you are the biggest, and you can decide everything!"

Lin Zhixiu stared at him without speaking.

Lin Ji grinned...he is really worthless!
Li Cheng went on to say, "Look, Axiu, I'm worried about you going back to Lin's house now! Uncle is also worried about it! But you live here, others will discuss it. One more thing, your aunt is going to have a baby, and there are many things at home. How can I have the time to take care of you!? Don’t you think so?”

He blinked his big eyes, wet like a puppy, "You have entered the Chengwang Mansion, I will hand over Uncle Dong to you, and all the silver and property will be under your control. I have a lot of silver! Uncle has not lost it all these years." Earning money, getting an official position, and having children are all good things. Don’t worry about the property of the Lin family, let’s live happily and not be entangled with troubles! Do you think it’s good?”

"is it okay!!!"

He unequivocally sided with the Lin family!
Lin immediately drank a cup of tea, feeling better at last.Wen Sheng said, "Xiu'er, your grandfather said that when you get married, you will be married according to the standard of the eldest daughter of the Lin family. In the future, when you have children, you should live with the cousins ​​of the Lin family! Xiu'er, listen to uncle One sentence! Let's get this matter over as soon as possible!"

"Axiu! Just agree! Okay!"

　Just one chapter, a lot of words.
