Lin Jianyue accompanied Mrs. Chen to taste tea. Mrs. Chen smiled and praised, "My rough tea has become fragrant after Miss Lin's skillful hands!"

"Where? It's the old lady Miao Zan!" Lin Jianyue said modestly. At this time, Lin Jianyue watched as Liao's mother sent Li En and Chunli away, leaving only her and the old lady in the room. She also understood that the old lady had something to say to her.

"Miss Lin must also know why I want to see you. I don't hide it. My useless son likes Miss Lin very much!" Mrs. Chen said straight to the point.

But Lin Jianyue didn't know how to answer this.

"Jingchi came back and told me that the Chengjiabao did not intend to marry the girl off, but to recruit a son-in-law!" The old lady said slowly, but Lin Jianyue was very surprised. It turned out that this was the idea of ​​her uncle and the others, and how did Chen Jingchi know about it.

"The child came to me and said that he was willing to become the son-in-law of Chengjiabao and let me fulfill his wish!" Mrs. Chen said, smiling to herself.

Over the years, her son has always had his own opinion and has never asked her for anything. She was very surprised at that time.

"This?" Lin Jianyue didn't know what to say. She only thought that Chen Jingchi was crazy. She was the only child in the Chen family. If he was a son-in-law, Mrs. Chen would be furious.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chen knew what was right and did not implicate herself, but Lin Jianyue also felt guilty.

Mrs. Chen patted Lin Jianyue's arm and spoke calmly, "I was originally hesitant about this matter, but seeing you, Miss Lin, I feel that as long as Jingchi likes you, Miss Lin is so good, I will What’s wrong with my son-in-law?”

"Old Madam?" Lin Jianyue's lips slightly opened in shock, and she really didn't know what to say.

Not to mention that Chen Jingchi is the only one in the Chen family. It is unheard of for any of the well-known families to want their son to marry into the family, and it is also a merchant.

"Miss Lin, don't panic. Although I am old, I am still not confused! Your life is your own, why should those so-called rules and regulations restrict you!" Mrs. Chen said calmly.

Mrs. Chen only had such a son, and her son was on the battlefield all year round. Mrs. Chen was very scared, fearing that one day her son would be dead like her husband. As long as her son is happy, the worldly world is not worth mentioning to Mrs. Chen.

What's more, after Mrs. Chen came into contact with Lin Jianyue, she also found that Lin Jianyue was really a very good girl. What else could she be worried about.

Lin Jianyue frowned, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She had never thought that Chen Jingchi would even be willing to marry into his wife for her own sake, and would even seek her mother's consent. If it were Lin Jianyue, she would never be willing to make such sacrifices.

Lin Jianyue recalled that day when Chen Jingchi delivered jujube cakes in the middle of the night. It seemed that Chen Jingchi had always been like this, no matter whether he gained or lost, it was for himself.

After having lunch with Mrs. Chen, Lin Jianyue realized that Mrs. Chen was really a knowledgeable woman.

Unlike the current ladies who always only focus on the back house, Mrs. Chen's speech is no less generous than that of men, and she has a long-term vision.

Mrs. Chen even mentioned to Lin Jianyue her deeds when she accompanied her husband to the battlefield. Lin Jianyue repeatedly praised her, it turns out that women can also go into battle to kill enemies, and it turns out that women can also live in such a flamboyant and dazzling way.

Mrs. Chen liked Lin Jianyue very much, and Lin Jianyue also liked Mrs. Chen very much. She learned a lot from Mrs. Chen, and she seemed to have a broader mind.

When they were leaving, Mrs. Chen even asked Lin Jianyue to visit the Chen Mansion more often in the future, and Lin Jianyue agreed.

Leaving Mrs. Chen's yard, Mother Liao led the way as usual. Lin Jianyue glanced at the Chen Mansion, but did not find Chen Jingchi.

Is it possible that Chen Jingchi is really angry? Li En understood Lin Jianyue's thoughts best and deliberately asked Mother Liao, "Mother Liao, is General Chen very busy recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jianyue glanced at Li En, but did not say any words to blame.

Mother Liao quickly explained, "The general was sent to the city a few days ago and he has not returned today!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jianyue understood why she hadn't seen Chen Jingchi in the past few days. It turned out that they had all left the city.

Forget it, so what if Chen Jingchi is in the house.

Chen Jingchi did go out of the city to do errands, but he returned to Qingyang City that night. As soon as he returned home, he heard someone said that his mother invited Lin Jianyue to come into the house today, and he ran directly to his mother without even changing his clothes.

"Mother!" Chen Jingchi saluted his mother respectfully and couldn't wait to ask, "Mother asked Miss Lin to come over today. What did they talk about?"

Mrs. Chen had just finished copying the Buddhist scriptures. After hearing these words, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at her son. She saw that her son was dusty, but her eyes were full of concern, and she immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Look at how useless you are! You begged me to agree to your marriage, but you don't want to catch up with this girl yet!" Mrs. Chen put down the pen and paper, her tone was a bit disgusting.

Today, Mrs. Chen opened up everything. Lin Jianyue naturally did not hide it from the old lady, telling her that she and Chen Jingchi were just friends, and she had never thought about getting married.

Mrs. Chen was not angry after hearing this, but looked at Lin Jianyue even more.

Compared with those girls nowadays who marry blindly and silently as soon as they get older, Lin Jianyue is more independent and more appreciated by Mrs. Chen.

Being said like this by his mother, Chen Jingchi didn't feel embarrassed and knelt down next to his mother.

"I haven't caught up with Miss Lin, but I'm trying my best! Since I'm sincere, I have to let Miss Lin see my sincerity!" Chen Jingchi said with a smile.

Mrs. Chen felt that what she said was true. She couldn't pursue the girl but refused to marry her. Isn't this deceiving the girl's feelings?

"I see that this girl has a delicate mind, but she has a lot of hesitations when it comes to love. If you really want to catch up with her, I'm afraid you will have to work harder and don't hurt her heart!" Mrs. Chen warned.

Chen Jingchi quickly responded, "Mother seems to like Miss Lin very much?"

You know, when he first said that he wanted to marry into his wife, his mother did not deny it, but she also did not agree. But now her face is full of joy. She must have been happy talking to Lin Jianyue today.

"That girl is knowledgeable and courageous. She has kindness in her heart, but she is not weak. She has the same demeanor as I did back then!" Mrs. Chen praised.

Chen Jingchi was really happy to hear that his mother liked Lin Jianyue. Now the two women he cared about most in his life were his mother and Lin Jianyue.

"Anyway, I have already given away our family's heirloom jade bracelet. What happens next depends on your ability! I have no intention of getting the jade bracelet back!" Mrs. Chen nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingchi immediately said, "Don't worry, mother!"
