Chapter 35
Although Father Lin dotes on Aunt Xie, he is a concubine after all. The birthday banquet was held in Xiangsi Pavilion, and it was enough to have fun in his own yard, but Father Lin could not be invited. In the evening, Aunt Xie sat in the main room, on the candlestick There was only a stump of the red candle left, and he blinked sleepily.

Sandalwood walked in, seeing Aunt Xie was exhausted, she said helplessly, "Aunt, the master hasn't come back yet."

Aunt Xie stood up and said strangely: "How long has it been? If you don't come back, there will be a curfew." He hesitated and walked away, holding the handkerchief tightly, "Is the master caught by something? But Have you visited Madam?"

Sandalwood shook her head and said, "Madam rested early."

Aunt Xie hurriedly said: "Then don't disturb Madam's rest." She touched the edge of the table and sat down, and said in a slightly downcast tone, "Forget it, then wait a little longer."

For so many years, Father Lin will definitely come to accompany me on my birthday, without exception for more than ten years, maybe there is something important, he will not stop coming.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qinan hurried in from the outside, with a rather ugly expression on his face, and said: "Master came back just now, let Brother Chen come and tell him that he is tired from government affairs today, so he can't come to accompany Auntie, so let Brother Chen send it to you." Bring some cloth materials, and say that I will mend them for my aunt some other day."

Aunt Xie was slightly stunned, but Tan Xiang frowned, feeling uneasy and doubtful: "What's going on? Today is Auntie's birthday, and the master would definitely come to accompany her in previous years. Why... but I forgot?"

Qinan was a little embarrassed.

"That's it."

Aunt Xie sighed, her heart beating, could it be that something happened in the previous court?

"The big girl is here."

Someone shouted in the courtyard, Lin Changyi walked in with Yun Duo, saw the table full of food, and Aunt Xie, who had finally been carefully dressed, her face was calm, and when asked why, her eyes were slightly deep, and the finger pull She already knew about it, but her father got angry, so he won't come today, poor Aunt Xie didn't know, she was waiting here alone, took a deep breath, a little impatient: "Since my father is not coming, Auntie Let's rest earlier."

Aunt Xie lowered her eyes.

Lin Changyi sized her up. For this mother, a poor person must have something to hate, and the eldest lady would not appreciate such a persecution. She humiliated herself and asked for peace of mind.

It's just that my father loves me so much, if I lose this love one day...

Lin Changyi didn't want to think about it anymore, and took Yun Duo out, and suddenly said: "Go to Jianjia Pavilion tomorrow, look for Yushui, and see what she means." She raised her chin slightly, and the bright moonlight cast on her cold face, without any There was a little bit of kindness, "It's not her who decides whether or not her mother will leave the house and live or not."

A chill ran up Yun Duo's spine, and he lowered his eyes in response.

"The second girl is back."

Listening to the pen sent Lin Zhao away, and came back to answer the words. Seeing that Mrs. Tang was arranging her cuffs, she felt a little puzzled. The second girl usually doesn't come, let alone today, it's Aunt Xie's birthday. Take a break, out of sight, out of sight, who would have expected Lin Zhao to come, and dragged his wife to talk for a while, she was listening beside her, eight out of ten sentences were useless, I don't know why.

Tang was about to fall asleep when someone shouted from outside the courtyard: "Ma'am! Master is here!"

Listening to the pen and hearing the words, his face was filled with joy and surprise. Father Lin didn't go to accompany Aunt Xie today, but came to Madam's place. He couldn't help laughing.

"Fortunately, Madam didn't sleep." Tingbi said, and hurried out.

Tang frowned slightly, thinking about listening to the unintentional words just now, yes, if she fell asleep, the master would probably not bother her, suddenly Lin followed her intentions, but she didn't know how she told Father Lin not to accompany him to thank him. Shi's.

The door curtain was lifted, and Father Lin came in. He just came back from the palace, he was very tired, and he didn't change into his normal clothes. He walked over and sat down. Tang shi handed him a cup of tea: "Why did you come back so late today?"

"After the court meeting ended, Sun Jijiu left me and went to eat and drink for another day."

Sun Jijiu was naturally Sun Ruo's father and Chen Wang's uncle, and he pulled Father Lin to see his heart. Tang also realized that this matter was weird, so he didn't say anything, and waited for Father Lin to say it himself.

Sure enough, Lin's father said that Chen Wang was also at the banquet, but when it comes to Lin Zhao, compared with the Xue family, the Chen family's intention to marry is obvious. It was even more uncomfortable than being sentenced. Father Lin helped the forehead. Maybe he had offended the Chen family when he chose the Xue family at the beginning.

But what makes Father Lin most helpless is that since Lin Zhao went to the Rongguo Mansion last time, Xue Daozai has turned cold-hearted towards him. He was promoted yesterday, and he ran all the way to congratulate him, but he was treated as nothing. He didn't even want to say the most basic polite words, so he just left.

People around him said that he was greedy, and if he failed to steal the chicken, he would be pecked by the chicken instead, fearing that he would lose the marriage.

In addition to the incident of pulling fingers, Father Lin realized the cumbersome intrigue of the woman in the inner house. Both incidents happened on the head of Xiangsi Pavilion. It can be seen that Lin Changyi has a lively mind. Chang Yi gave a warning, not because she really wanted to punish this daughter, but because the marriage was serious at the moment, so she couldn't let this girl get into trouble.

"It's not the master's fault." Tang said calmly from the side, "It's just that I didn't expect the Chen family to be so persecuted. The dignified Duke's Mansion can do such a vile thing."

Father Lin sighed, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion, which showed that his mind was restless: "If I had known this, I might as well have chosen Chen Wang from the beginning, it would have saved a lot of trouble."

Tang didn't think so, and his words were harsh: "No, the fact that the Chen family can do such a thing shows that the Rongguo government's means and character are trying to force a marriage. It has nothing to do with the family, so if Ming Wei gets married, I'm afraid he will be in dire straits."

Father Lin lowered his head, staring at his rough palm in a daze.

Yes, marriage is of course important, but Lin Zhao's happiness in the future... closing his eyes in pain, thinking of Tang next to him when he first married him, he was sad every day, until later he became more and more cold and numb, it can be seen that marrying someone himself How painful it is to not like people.

Tang's low marriage is like this, let alone Lin Zhao's high marriage.

"That's it."

Father Lin said that he was tired, and he lay down after washing with Tang. He opened his eyes and stayed up for a long time. Whether it is the Xue family or the Chen family, they will always marry one of them. It is right to feel sorry for Lin Zhao, but right now the Lin family is in dire straits. , one is the daughter, and the other is the family background, there must always be a priority.
