Chapter 19 Half-Truth and Half-False

Facts speak louder than words.

As for having a good talk with Xu Jian, can we get a [-]-[-] share...

Lin Yunyan thought about it, with her grandmother's virtue of being kind to others, she definitely dare not make such a big advantage.

Worried that his mother would always think about Yun Yan's "big strike", Lin Xun took the initiative to ask Xiao Duan, "Have you decided who will come forward to handle the matter?"

"It's settled," said Xiao Duan, "Gao An, the nephew and son-in-law of Madam Ruan's family, is doing business in Tong County. I'll ask Madam Ruan to call him to Beijing."

Tong County is in the south of the capital, and because it was a large county before entering Beijing, the commercial market is also very lively.

Based on the distance between the two places, Gao'an will be able to arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow at the latest.

"It's good to have a fresh face," Lin Xun said, "In the Yamen, the Jingdong family should be the first."

Compared with Gao An, Jing Dabao is a real foreigner, and his backer is usually unpredictable.

"Speaking of which," Xiao Duan asked, "how did Yunyan know about the relationship between the Jingdong family and Duke Fu?"

Lin Yunyan blinked her eyes.

Of course you can't tell the truth, it can scare Xiao Duan to death.

It's nonsense, she's already prepared, and it's still half-truth and half-false: "The late old Mrs. Duke and Concubine Wen had a good personal relationship in her boudoir. Have you heard of this?"

Xiao Duan had a good memory, and sighed: "It's too long ago, I can't remember clearly, there seems to be such a rumor."

To tell the truth, Lin Yunyan added false words: "I started chatting while playing the horse hanging. The empress dowager wanted to add money to a few temples, but she was afraid that the people in the palace would stir up the crowd. The dowager Wen also said that her identity was here, and she made every move. Since it is impossible to be like ordinary people, she heard the old lady mentioned before that the couple had a business friend in Yuhang who donated to the temple, known as Jing Dashan..."

Xiao Duan nodded again and again: "Our uncle's residence must be cautious, especially the nobles in the palace."

She was just asking a question out of curiosity, not intentionally questioning it, Lin Yunyan could answer with a few decent words casually, which was enough to deal with it.

"When Gao An arrives, ask Chen Gui to take him to see Jingdong's family," Xiao Duan told Lin Xun, "According to the previous calculation, the money on the account is almost enough. I don't need to touch Yun Jing's dowry. I am really relieved .”

Lin Xun echoed, "That's what I thought when I got the document."

The mother and son chattered a few more words, Lin Yunyan sat aside, only eating snacks and not talking.

Seeing this, Xiao Duan's mind moved, and after dismissing Lin Xun, she asked her in a low voice: "Yunyan, do you have something to say?"

"Although I won't move the dowry of the eldest sister," Lin Yunyan said bluntly, "I suggest you wait a little longer, and don't want to get married within the year."

Xiao Duan took a tight breath, and immediately thought of the inside story that the grandfather and grandson had discussed before.

The Holy One may have the intention of killing chickens and monkeys!
Regarding this matter, Xiao Duan had already talked to Lin Yu a few days ago.

As an uncle of sincerity, even if Lin Yu does not hold an important position in the court, he must feel better than other people in his family when he walks outside.

However, Lin Yu didn't feel any trouble.

Having said that, the mother and son did not doubt the news that Lin Yunyan brought back.

After all, apart from the Imperial Study Room, the place that can guess the Holy One's will is the Compassionate Ning Palace.

How can foreign ministers like them be more sensitive than the empress dowager?

"You mean, the Holy Majesty may do it within a year?" Xiao Duan asked in a low voice.

"I originally thought that it would not be so fast, but today I see what Fu Guogong means..." Lin Yunyan leaned over and almost whispered in Xiao Duan's ear, "Tell me, why does Guogong want to be honest? Jing Dabao came forward for the deal?

Could he be short of money?He can't lack the money on the books!
He went in and out of the imperial study a while ago, maybe he saw something.

Chen Gui was doing business in Honest Alley, how many times did he run back and forth, and how many accounts were calculated?
The Duke of the State is rich and powerful, so Jing Dabao went directly to the yamen and opened his mouth to the lion, which shows that he is also in a hurry. "

Xiao Duan took a deep breath.

This thing is done!
There is only such a lone seedling in the Fuguo Duke's mansion, and now he is injured and his legs and feet are inconvenient. He has handed over his dictionaries and wants to be an idle dignitary.

But even such a "safe" Fuguo Gong wants to avoid the limelight...

"You are right," Xiao Duan nodded, "We have to wait and see the situation of Duke Xu's mansion."

She made up her mind that when Mrs. Xu Guogong came to the door the next day, Xiao Duan couldn't bear to say a thousand words.

"Yun Jing is a filial child. After her father left, she relied on her to support her mother. The relationship between mother and daughter is very deep."

"She is the eldest sister, she has been a role model for the younger sisters since she was a child, and the sisters get along very well."

"After much deliberation, I still want to keep the children at home for New Year's Eve, and wait until the next spring to get married."

Mrs. Xu Guogong was quite surprised.

Previously, it was clear that the uncle's house was sincere and wanted to hold the wedding earlier, so why is it suddenly postponed?
Is the marriage about to change?
As soon as the idea came up, Mrs. Xu Guogong rejected it first.

The two families have already exchanged posts, and it's a sure thing. Sincerity Bo's House is not such a shameless family, and it will definitely not act recklessly.

Besides, Lin Yunjing is married to a high-ranking person, and this marriage is ruined, where can she find another equally good one?

Mrs. Xu Guogong didn't mean to belittle Lin Yunjing, if she really didn't like her, how could she choose her as her daughter-in-law?
What she values ​​is the harmonious and good family style of the Lin family and Lin Yunjing's upright and calm temperament. These two points are much more important than being born by a concubine or a legitimate son.

My third son is too temperamental, and his behavior is a headache, so he needs to have such a prudent daughter-in-law to take care of him!

Having said that, if it weren't for someone who loves the girl so much, how could he develop such a temperament?

Since the two families were going to get married, Mrs. Xu Guogong didn't take off Xiao Duan's face: "My eyes are sore after hearing what you said.

Marrying a girl and marrying a daughter-in-law must have different moods in the family.

Then do as you wish, let's choose a good day after spring in the coming year, when the flowers are blooming and the sky is warmer.

The eldest girl is so loved in the house, we won't let her be wronged after she passes the door, you can rest assured! "

"I'm sure you can rest assured," Xiao Duan laughed, "Being married to the family is to believe that you treat us Yun Jing well."

At the Qingpuyuan, Mrs. Huang was anxiously waiting for news.

Hearing that Mrs. Xu Guogong had gone back, Mrs. Huang came to Zaishouyuan and asked Mrs. Duan about the date of marriage.

"In the next year," Xiao Duan said while holding her hand, "You have worked so hard these years, you mother and daughter will spend another New Year together."

Huang's smile almost froze on his face.

The previous time, she felt that something was wrong, but now she is sure.

"Is it really to let Yun Jing stay at home for a few more months?" Huang didn't hold back and asked, "Madam, is there any problem with this marriage?"

"Where is it?" Xiao Duan said, "We are sincerely married, and Xu Guogong's mansion is also sincerely asking for marriage. What's the problem? Don't think wildly, and don't scare Yun Jing."

The old lady had already said so, and if Huang had any doubts, she couldn't continue to ask, so she had to get up and leave.

It was Qingyan who sent her away.

When going down the steps, Mrs. Huang staggered a bit, thanks to Madam Hong's sharp eyesight and quick hands.

When she stood still, Qingyan came to help her belatedly.

Huang Shi glanced at her, doubts arose again: why is this maid more absent-minded than herself?
　Thanks to book friend ChenLinda for the reward of [-] coins, and thanks to book friend Xiaoyuanzi, a big bag, and Xiaoyuanzi for their rewards.
