Red House Shoufu

Chapter 22 Marriage
Wang Xiaoshi's eyes lit up when he heard Daiyu's answer.This is really great, she was really afraid that Lin Ruhai would make a marriage contract with Lin Shu before she was alive, in that case, what she thought in her heart would be in vain.

Lin Shu is full of talent and good in appearance.Since Wang Huan and Lin Shu made friends, Wang Xiaoshi had the idea of ​​marrying a daughter.

After the fifth year of Zhide's reign, Wang Xiaoshi had already persuaded Wang Qi, but he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to fall ill.When he heard the news from the Lin family again, Lin Shu had already helped the spirit back to his hometown, and kept his filial piety according to the rules.

Fortunately, Wang Qi and Lin Ruhai are also colleagues, and the two families have a relationship because of the friendship of the younger generation.

Wang Xiaoshi looked at Daiyu and Wang Yuan who were playing around, and began to think about how to settle this matter thoroughly.

"Ma'am, the master said that the wife and the two girls should go to the main hall for dinner."

A servant girl's voice came from the door, it turned out that it was already noon before he knew it.

The Wang family has a simple population, except for the second son Wang Shuo who is going to study in the academy, there is only the married eldest Wang Xian.

The luncheon is basically a vegetarian dish, which is obviously specially prepared.After Lin Shu and Daiyu looked at each other quietly, they were very grateful to the Wang family for their efforts.

Lin and Wang's two families can be regarded as a good family now, and Wang Xiaoshi enthusiastically added food to Lin Shu brother and sister, leaving his son Wang Huan aside.

Lin Shu, on the other hand, couldn't adapt to Wang Xiaoshi's enthusiasm immediately, so he was flattered and thanked repeatedly.

"Brother Shu, eat more, you are still too thin. Huan'er has been thin since he was a child, and it's because I cook for him in different ways that he grows stronger."

Lin Shu looked at Wang Huan's slightly protruding belly. It was hard to imagine how thin he looked with his chubby figure.

After a warm luncheon, Lin Shu and Daiyu talked with their elders, and then they left and went home.

On the carriage, Lin Shu asked Daiyu about her experience in the inner hall, and after hearing Wang Xiaoshi inquire about her marriage, he had some guesses about the excessive enthusiasm during the luncheon.

……

After returning home, Lin Shu rested on the bed.Today's short conversation with Wang Qi gave him a deeper understanding of the monsters and ghosts in Jiangnan.

Even with the favor of the emperor and the protection of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, he still couldn't resist this group of people. It seemed that he had to make a good plan for going north.

"Is brother asleep?"

Lin Shu got out of bed and opened the door, Daiyu was standing at the door holding a dish of washed hawthorn.

"I see that my brother eats more for lunch, so eat some hawthorn to help you lose weight!"

What a caring sister!

Lin Shu took the plate and led Daiyu in, the brother and sister sat by the window and shared the plate of hawthorn fruits.

"Aunt Wang asked about my brother's marriage today. Does she want him to be her son-in-law?"

Daiyu's eyes were very bright, she didn't understand these things at the time, but after the three nuns taught her a little, she understood Wang Xiaoshi's plan.

At the beginning, Daiyu felt unspeakably depressed, feeling that her brother was about to be snatched away.

Her parents are dead, and her brother is the closest person to her.Now that someone has paid her brother's attention again, if the marriage is settled, wouldn't someone want to take away her only relative?
But my elder brother is already married this year, and he should have been married in someone else's house long ago.Oh, what an annoyance!
Lin Shu looked at Daiyu who was biting her lip, and patted her small head with his big hand: "Silly boy, what are you thinking about? If we are married, am I not your brother?"

"But if I have a sister-in-law, if my sister-in-law doesn't like me, then I have no place to go." Daiyu pursed her mouth in grievance, and tears were brewing in her eyes.

Lin Shu said amusedly: "There is no such thing as a horoscope, and you can't be wronged. Don't worry, brother will definitely find a wife who treats Yu'er like a daughter. If she treats you badly, we don't want her."

"Well, it's not good for me, so we don't want her!" Daiyu finally smiled, and it seemed that her brother still cared about her most.

Daiyu recalled what Aunt Wang said today, her father and mother were gone, and her second uncle and aunt had passed away long ago.

The Lin family has no close elders, so I'm afraid I can only worry about my brother's marriage.Daiyu sighed, and said old-fashionedly: "Oh, I'm really worried, my brother will be eighteen this year, it's time to find a good girl and make an appointment..."

Watching Daiyu, who was 12 years old, imitate the appearance of an adult, Lin Shu lightly tapped on her small head.

"I'm worrying about my brother's marriage, I'm really too busy. Come on, I just have time today, and I will test your homework for the past few days for my brother!"

Daiyu took Lin Shu's arm and kept shaking it: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the court will rest for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why does my brother still have to check his homework? You should tell me a story, last time it happened that the black bear spirit stole Tang Seng’s splendid cassock, tell me the story behind it!”

Daiyu acted like a baby, she tried everything.Lin Shu obediently doted on her, and began to imitate a storyteller, telling Daiyu about Journey to the West.

"From the last book, the black bear spirit took the opportunity to steal Tang Xuanzang's beautiful cassock..."

Daiyu supported her little head with her hands and listened intently.The three nuns and Xueyan guarded the door, and the Lin Mansion was peaceful and peaceful. Lin Shu's storytelling drifted with the autumn wind and echoed in the sky above the Lin Mansion.

……

It was night, Wang Qi returned to the inner hall, the bedroom was brightly lit by candles, and Wang Xiaoshi was embroidering a long robe by the light.

"It takes more eyesight at night, and then embroider during the day, or let the servants do it."

Wang Xiaoshi didn't let go of her work, she smiled and said: "Huan'er is about to go north, I make this dress, and I will take part in the Spring Festival with him."

The two chatted a few words, and Wang Qi talked about the brothers and sisters of the Lin family: "At noon today, Madam was too enthusiastic!"

Wang Xiaoshi gave Wang Qi a blank look: "If I'm not more enthusiastic, I'm optimistic about the son-in-law candidate for so many years, I'm afraid I will miss it in vain. Let me tell Brother Lin, there has been no movement for two years, don't you?" Don't take it seriously?"

Wang Qi went to Wang Xiaoshi's side, hugged her and replied: "Isn't the Lin family observing filial piety? How can we talk about marriage during the filial piety?"

Wang Xiaoshi struggled for a while, half pushed and half let Wang Qi hug her.

I just heard her say: "Lin Shu, Lin Jinyu, a well-known talent in Nanzhili. He will definitely be on the list next spring. Maybe he will be the same as Lin Ruhai back then. He won the first place. By then, the wealthy families in the capital will not be snapping up. How can it be our Yuaner's turn?"

There is no way, Wang Xiaoshi is anxious.Lin Shu has outstanding talent, from the county examination to the township examination, he won the first place in every game, and he just made the astonishing achievement of being the leader of the four yuan.

If he can take the imperial examination and win the first place, he will become the first six-yuan and first-ranked Chu Wenkui in this dynasty.

Back then, Lin Ruhai was snatched away from a group of noble and wealthy families by Jia Daishan, Duke of Rongguo, and dragged to Rongguo Mansion to make a marriage contract.

Compared with Lin Ruhai, Lin Shu was younger and more talented, and he was favored by the emperor. He was afraid that when he arrived in the capital, the people staring at him were already ready to attack.

Wang Qi whispered in Wang Xiaoshi's ear: "Don't worry, I have already prepared for my husband, this matter must be settled before he goes to the capital..."
