Chapter 449 I also have my fears (two updates in one, please vote for me)
Qingque Alley.

Lin Yunjing's new home is in the alley.

We were newly married for a month, and life was on track. Today we invited Lin Yunyan, Lin Yunfang and Zhu Xiang to sit down and talk.

We are all familiar with each other, and when we come to the door, we only bring some daily food as gifts. When people sit down, gifts are also served on the table, and it is very lively to watch.

Zhu Xiang asked: "I heard that your mother-in-law has returned to her hometown?"

"Yes," Lin Yunjing said, "I want her to stay longer, but she is used to living in her hometown and really can't adapt to Beijing."

Yu Pu and his mother were orphans and widowers.

It is very hard for a poor family to raise an older son who is still in high school, but the old lady has a good temperament and is in good health, and she has managed to survive all these years.

Now, the only son is an official in the capital and has married a daughter-in-law from a high family. It is said that it is time to enjoy happiness.

But the old lady is really not of a leisurely nature.

People who have been busy for most of their lives feel uncomfortable once they stop.

Moreover, the lifestyle she is accustomed to and adapts to is all from her hometown. If she wants to find someone to chat with in the capital, there are no old sisters with whom she can hang out.

Therefore, after the old lady arranged the wedding, she proposed to go back several times.

Her son and daughter-in-law kept her here again and again, letting her live in Beijing until the full moon of her marriage, and then they made arrangements for her to return to her hometown in all her glory.

The old lady now had her worries settled, and her face was glowing when she left.

"I'm worried that she's getting older and it's inconvenient to live alone," Lin Yunjing said with a smile. "My mother-in-law said that she has relatives looking after her in her hometown. She used to have a strong temperament, and her relatives and neighbors relied on her and respected her. , now that her son is promising again, there will be many people in the village who want to follow her path in the future, and they will support her and not cause her any difficulties. "

This is indeed a truth.

In small counties and small towns, it is not easy for widows to make a living. If they were not tough, they would have been eaten clean of their bones and blood.

To achieve today's results, the girls here, whether they are married Lin Yunyan and Lin Yunjing, or still in the boudoir Lin Yunfang and Zhu Xiang, should give a thumbs up and praise the old lady for her good skills.

And the saying "can walk sideways" is not a lie either.

Human relationships are so direct, simple, and valuable, and everyone supports them.

Yu's mother has a son who is a Beijing official and married to a girl from a noble family. Let alone ordinary people and neighbors, even the county magistrate has to be polite when he sees her.

This is also the reason why Yu Pu can safely let the old lady stay in his hometown after high school.

"She is in good health, so naturally we should follow her habits," Lin Yunjing added. "In a few years, it will be inconvenient for her to live alone, so I won't ask her to take care of her."

As Lin Yunfang listened, she couldn't help but ask about how her eldest sister and her eldest brother-in-law got along on a daily basis.

Lin Yunjing was restrained on this matter, but she couldn't resist Lin Yunfang's coquettishness and talked to her about something.

Zhu Xiang listened and looked around the room.

She had heard before that this house was actually Lin Yunjing's dowry.

"I can see that your family is very satisfied with this son-in-law." She whispered to Lin Yunyan and whispered.

Lin Yunyan smiled.

This is true, I am indeed satisfied from top to bottom.

Yu Pu has always been short of money.

When he first entered the Hanlin Academy, his salary allowed him to live a daily life, but Yu Pu had to be frugal and frugal. He had to return the money from Chengyi's house as planned.

Therefore, before getting married, he shared a house with several colleagues.

When it comes to marrying a girl in Chengyi's house, my grandmother is willing to choose a girl with good character to marry, but she will never wrong her eldest sister to share the yard with others.

With the land prices in the capital at this level, it was impossible for Yu Pu to save enough money to buy a house. In the end, the two families came to a discussion and saw such a small single-family house, and the grandmother subsidized the eldest sister.

Lin Yunyan said: "We are all satisfied with my eldest brother-in-law's talent and character."

If you get married sincerely, you will not make any calculations. The purpose is to make the couple live a good life.

Lin Yunjing would not be arrogant just because her mother's family was in a position of power and had paid a lot, and Yu Pu would not flatter her just because she had just joined the official position and was struggling to make ends meet, nor would she take advantage of it and feel resentful.

Only when honest people work with honest people can life go far and go smoothly.

As for what others outside see and say, that’s out of my hands.

After all, each family has its own way of getting along.

Whether this marriage is a good one or not, time will tell the answer.

"It's pretty good," Zhu Xiang sighed, "It's not a big place, but it's very cozy."

She had seen with her own eyes and been angry about the virtual scene of gold and jade outside and decay inside. Now it seems that this kind of warmth is far better than the cold and dirty atmosphere of Hou Men's deep residence.

All she knew about Yu Pu came from conversations between the three sisters of the Lin family, but she knew Lin Yunjing.

Lin Yunjing is sincere and can live a good life.

Lin Yunyan heard a hint of envy from Zhu Xiang's tone, and thought of some rumors she had heard recently, and was quite curious for a moment.

After looking at the eldest sister and the third sister, Lin Yunyan leaned slightly and asked Zhu Xiang, "I heard that there is always a kind lady coming to the Yu family."

Zhu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "How come? I don't have much money here, and he wants you to be a lobbyist in a roundabout way?"

"That's not true," Lin Yunyan said truthfully, "After we met him in the teahouse that day, I haven't seen him again, and he didn't ask the Duke to show his kindness or hire lobbyists on his behalf."

This "he" refers to Yu Cheng'an, the Yao Sun of Baoan Hou.

Zhu Xian didn't take it seriously at all during the brief encounter that day. Who knew that a few days later, a nanny would come to the Yu family.

Grandma's surname is Zhu. She has the demeanor of a servant of an honorable family. She is kind and talkative. She even brought two boxes of snacks when she arrived.

"She said she came to look for me," Zhu Chan whispered, "my aunts thought she was from your home or someone I knew well, so they invited her in.

When I asked, I found out that he was from the Baoan Hou Mansion.

She didn't say anything embarrassing, she gave him snacks, chatted for a while and left.

I didn’t want to accept it, but she didn’t respond. She ran so fast, and I was really embarrassed to chase her in the alley to give her snacks..."

Lin Yunyan heard Zhu Xiang's description and couldn't help laughing just by imagining the scene.

After all, it’s just snacks.

If you really chase each other in the alley because of this and draw the neighbors out to see you, then you are really being put on fire.

"In this way, he has some considerations in his actions," Lin Yunyan commented, "He himself and his entourage will not show up, and grandma will come. Even if the neighbors see him, they won't think much about it."

If Yu Cheng'an or himself followed him to the front door of the Yu family, there would be a lot of rumors whether he accepted it or not.

That would do no good to Zhu Xian.

"Mommy has been here several times. This time the snacks will be rouge the next time," Zhu Xiang sighed and shook his head, "Don't hit the smiling person with your hand. He is so angry that he has no reason to turn away from others."

Lin Yunyan understood very well.

Firstly, I can't lose my face. Secondly, a small official's family will not easily offend the Marquis Mansion. Thirdly, I still don't want to cause trouble and let the neighbors watch.

It was also Yu Chengan who grasped that speed.

He just wanted to show his goodwill to Zhu Xian and had no intention of making a fuss.

From the beginning to the end, the neighbors didn't know which family the nanny belonged to. Anyway, Zhu Xiang was handed a handkerchief by a noble person, and the princess drove to the house several times. It was not surprising that the nanny looked distinguished at first sight.

"If she was really talking nonsense in the alley, I could slap the door panel on her face," Zhu Xiang said, "But she greets people with a smile and doesn't say much. She only said a few words to me after entering the door. Yu Cheng'an How how...

I insisted on not collecting the things, and she was not in a hurry. Sometimes she ran away in a hurry, and sometimes she brought them back intact. I asked her to tell Yu Chengan not to come again. She said that she was just an errand boy and if she had anything to say, I would talk to Yu Chengan myself. "

After a month of this back and forth, Zhu Xiang was really dumbfounded.

Not too angry, but a little annoyed, in the end I punched the cotton with my fists, making myself laugh.

Lin Yunyan laughed for a while and asked, "Then do you want to talk to him?"

"Xun, why not Xun?" Zhu Xiang said, "If you don't mention this to me today, I will have to talk to you."

It was not appropriate for her to go to the appointment alone.

That's not to say that Yu Cheng'an, who acted with a certain degree of control, would act outrageously, but Zhu Xiang didn't want to cause more trouble, so he wanted to ask Lin Yunyan for a favor.

If she and Yu Chengan can't make sense, Lin Yunyan can also come forward and say something.

Lin Yunyan naturally agreed after hearing Zhu Xiang's words.

When it comes to relationships, it’s about your own will.

She also didn't know much about Yu Cheng'an. Unless she was in a situation like that of Yu Pu and Duan Zhihuai, she would be able to say with certainty that this person was a good match and reliable, and then she would give advice.

Otherwise, since Zhu Xiang had no intention, Lin Yunyan would definitely be towards her.

The sisters ended happily.

As for the appointment, Lin Yunyan took the lead and set the time and place.

The place was decided to be Fu Guo Gongfu.

Zhu Xiang was invited to look for Lin Yunyan, and Yu Chengan visited Xu Jian.

Those two people have never crossed paths before, even if they are on the same day, there is no need to worry about unnecessary disputes.

Furthermore, in my own place, I can rest assured about anything I say.

On that day, Yu Chengan came early.

Xu Jian was sitting in the flower hall, looking at the guests in a hurry, and commented: "Thank you, don't you think so?"

Yu Cheng Anjun blushed and said, "I was the one who said the arrogant words that day."

When it comes to bowing his head, he is not ambiguous at all.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the person from the front came to report that Zhu Xiang had arrived.

Xu Jianbian said to Yu Chengan: "That is to say, I know that you behave decently, so I will make arrangements for you.

No matter what you say later, don't make any outrageous words or actions, otherwise, I will have no choice but to take you to the security guard.

As far as I know, Miss Zhu wants to refuse. It’s up to you to convince her. If you can’t convince her, don’t expect me and the princess to be your lobbyists. "

Yu Chengan said seriously: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

While talking, Lin Yunyan accompanied Zhu Xiang over.

The two sides met each other and after saluting, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian went to the side hall and left the main hall to them to talk.

Facing Zhu Xiang, Yu Chengan was slightly embarrassed.

Judging from Aunt Zhu's reply, he himself knew Zhu Xiang's attitude, but he still had a lot of things to say to her.

Not to mention that it can completely change Zhu Xiang's mind, but at least give himself a chance.

However, Zhu Xiang came even more prepared: "Master Yu, listen to me first."

With such an opening, how could Yu Chengan be unreasonable?

Zhu Xiang looked directly at him and spoke straightforwardly and calmly.

"I am very grateful for your kindness. Your pursuit troubled me a little, but it did not cause any trouble to me or my family."

"From this point of view, I can see that you have some considerations."

"The things you sent are untouched except for the snacks that cannot be stored for a long time. I hope you can let Aunt Zhu take them back later."

"Now I am just the cousin of a minor official, but I used to be a girl from the Duke's palace who was well-dressed and well-fed, and had seen all kinds of good things. These things you use to please the little girl are of no use to me."

Yu Cheng'an was stunned and wanted to defend himself a few words, but he was not a person who would interrupt the other person's speech, so he could only remember for the time being and listen to Zhu Xiang's words first.

Looking at his expression, Zhu Xiang guessed what he wanted to say.

Those "useless" things were not necessarily because Yu Chengan was stingy, but because they were really giving out valuable things. She became more and more unwilling to accept them, and she also felt oppressed by throwing money at people.

That is to say, these trivial things were given to Yu Chengan casually, and Zhu Xiang did not take them seriously.

As she said, there are too many good things that I have seen used before.

From this point of view, Yu Chengan has really thought about it a lot.

Zhu Xiang continued.

"I know that today is different from the past. I also know that I will get married and will not be a cousin for the rest of my life. I don't have that much money for my grandpa's family to support me."

"In terms of marriage, I envy the princess and her eldest sister. She can marry a down-to-earth scholar from outside the country and live a simpler life."

"Master Yu, you have your strengths, but I also have my fears."

"You know how my mother died, and you also know what kind of person my father is. I'm afraid of being an idle playboy in my life."

To be fair, this is the most important thing Zhu Xian can say right now.

But it happened to hit Yu Chengan's heart like this, making all the words and thoughts he had prepared, whether it was love at first sight, appreciation and respect, all become indifferent and ethereal.

The tragedy of both parents' death is before us, and any sworn analysis and confession is powerless.

Whenever he said a few words shamelessly, it would hurt Zhu Xian.

He could only bow to Zhu Xian speechlessly.

Seeing that he understood what she meant and didn't bother him, Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, then turned and walked out of the main hall to find Lin Yunyan.

Yu Chengan stood there, watching her leave, feeling dejected and lost.

Xu Jian walked back slowly. Seeing his absent-minded look, Xu Jian raised her hand and patted his shoulder.

"Give up?" he asked.

Yu Chengan smiled bitterly: "What else?"

He didn't want to give up, but he didn't want to make Zhu Xiang feel irritated and disgusted, let alone cause trouble for her.

"For the sake of that cricket," Xu Jian laughed, "I'll show you the way."

Yu Chengan humbly asked for advice.

"Change your evil ways and return to the right ways," Xu Jian said, "What's the point of being an idle playboy?"

Yu Chengan was happy when he heard this: "My grandfather must have endless things to say to you."

Xu Jian added: "Maybe the security guard will appreciate Miss Zhu very much."

Hearing this, Yu Chengan smiled again.

After smiling, he felt much more relaxed. He thanked Xu Jian again, and said: "Thank you to the princess for me. I won't get close to them when they are talking to the little sisters."

Xu Jian agreed.

Thanks to the book friend’s yard for the reward.
