Second spring

Aunt Fu burst into tears.

She grasped Lin Changjia's two arms with both hands, and said anxiously and fearfully: "Chang'er! Listen to my aunt! You must never want to think like this, understand? My aunt gave birth to you and raised you." You, don't you know what is for your own good..."

Aunt Fu repeatedly emphasized it many times, and her tears refused to stop for a while. Lin Changjia remembered what Lin Yijia said to her, finally nodded, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I understand what you mean." After a pause , she said again: "You should be worrying for nothing. As a little concubine like me, I don't have a good background, I am not beautiful, and I am young. It is just a formality to run for the election."

After hearing Lin Changjia's dejected words, Aunt Fu wanted to correct her attitude, but thinking about what she had said today, she was afraid that her daughter would be disgusted if she continued speaking, so she had to shut up and hold Lin Changjia tightly. hugged tightly.

Aunt Fu has experienced the incident of Aunt Lin's adultery, although at that time she was just a maid beside Mrs. Lin.It is also because she is a maid, so she is very clear about the earth-shattering quarrel between Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin. Of course, she is also clear that the Lin family will not allow her daughter to marry into the royal family... As a daughter of hers, even if she has It's useless to think about it.

And just as Aunt Fu was talking to Lin Changjia, Lin Yinjia appeared in the courtyard of Mingjing Hall.

Xiao Li's body has been around for more than six months, and her stomach has bulged a lot like before. She is walking slowly in the yard while holding Dangui's hand.Viewed from the back.Her waist isn't too clumsy yet - this child will most likely be a young master.

Dangui saw Lin Yinjia, and reminded Xiao Li in a low voice.

Mrs. Li turned her head, smiled and nodded at Lin Yinjia, and sat firmly in an armchair supported by Yuegui.After Lin Yinjia came over and saluted, Mrs. Li said, "Take a seat for Miss Fourth."

Immediately, a little maid brought a brocade stool and invited Lin Yinjia to sit down.

In May, the weather is already a little hot.Xiao Li had just walked around, and there were still some fine beads of sweat clearly standing on the tip of her nose.She was fair and ruddy.In good spirits.Compared with last year, Xiao Li's brilliance has increased many times.

This should be a happy life for a woman... Lin Yinjia thought so in her heart, and called out: "Mother."

Xiao Li gave a "hmm", took a sip of warm water, looked at Lin Yinjia and said, "Your father told me yesterday that you are a sensible girl. I was dubious at the time. But today I saw you come to me , it means that your father really understands you... I am also very happy."

"Mother..." Lin Yinjia heard Xiao Li's words, a little warmth flashed in her eyes, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mrs. Li pursed her lips, and said softly: "For women, the election of the show girl seems to be a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step. For the family, it seems to be the same. It can be imagined that at this time, the clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and powder shops in Shengjing City It must be very lively... But, fourth girl, that place is a place where people eat people, and our Lin family will never ascend to the sky by this kind of ladder."

Xiao Li said this.Suddenly smiled.She leaned back a little to make herself more comfortable.Said: "The words just now were actually said by your father... But, our Lin family, whether it is you, the fourth girl, or your fifth sister, are not capable of surviving in that place. It's not that you are not smart enough , but because you are all kind-hearted and good children, and you can't be cruel to act..."

"What about the third and sixth sisters?" Lin Yinjia asked.

Xiao Li said with a smile: "They, my sister-in-law is a good teacher, and they definitely don't want to enter the palace to get rich."

Lin Yinjia did not speak.

Xiao Li said again: "Si girl, you are sensible. So, as a mother, I will tell you openly and honestly. As for me, I asked myself that I have neither indulged you nor treated you harshly..."

Lin Yinjia hurriedly leaned over and wanted to get up to talk, Xiao Li waved her hand to signal her to sit down, and continued: "After that, I will definitely not be able to treat the concubine and the concubine as if they were my own ... but I also I'm not a ruthless person... I entrusted my sister-in-law to your marriage with the fifth girl. Dasou has seen it, and your father has seen it, and it is the right one. I will not be too involved. Also, your dowry Silver, your father has already said that, in addition to the 5000 taels in the public school, he will add 5000 taels for a total of 1 taels of silver for the dowry. In addition, each of you can get 1 taels of silver notes as private money at the bottom of the box. I won't deduct a little... Well, that's about it. Fourth girl, what do you want to ask?"

Lin Yinjia received so much information at once, and it was closely related to herself, she was a little dazed for a while.

Mrs. Lin's vision is of course trustworthy, not to mention her father is there to check.Therefore, Lin Yinjia and Lin Changjia never have to worry about being sent out by any random marriage in the future... The dowry money, and the father is willing to spend money, 1 taels of dowry, 1 taels at the bottom of the box, so rich, Compared with the many noble girls in Shengjing who are born better than them, they are not bad...

Lin Yinjia shook her head, got up and solemnly saluted Mrs. Li, sincerely said: "Thank you mother for thinking about us... Mom, Xiao Si knows how to choose. Mother, take care of your health, and Xiao Si will not disturb you You rest."

Xiao Li smiled, nodded, and watched Lin Yinjia leave the Mingjing Hall.

Dangui said in a low voice: "Although the Fourth Miss is usually silent, she is bright in her heart. The servant girl said that she must understand the painstaking efforts of the Lord and Madam."

But Xiao Li shook her head: "I don't have any pains to spend on her."

Then he didn't say anything.

Back then, it wasn't that she didn't hate her biological mother...

Time is tight, there is no time to dawdle.

That night, Mrs. Lin called the three daughters and one son of the Lin family to the Pine Forest Court under the pretext of a family meal.Before the meal, the expressions of the two adults will not show any expression, and the dinner is also very rich.There are actually a lot of seafood, which makes it very enjoyable for the children who grew up in Guangzhou.

After the meal, the family moved to the inner room of Lin and his wife and sat down one after another.

Mrs. Lin got straight to the point, and after mentioning the draft, she directly told Lin Minjia about their arrangements for her: "...Min'er, your mother had to choose carefully about your marriage, but it's too late now. En What do you think of Kang Yongtong?"

Lin Minjia was stunned immediately, unable to react.

Mrs. Lin continued: "Kang Yongtong is something we know all about. There is nothing wrong with him, and he treated you very well in the past, but it was a bit far away. Thinking about separating the two places, both mother and father are a bit reluctant. In addition Well. There is another candidate..."

Then she told about the situation of Dou's family: "...that child, mother and your father went to see this child quietly this afternoon, he is quite handsome, his temper seems a bit shy, and everything else is not bad... Min Son, what do you think?"

"Wait..." After Lin Minjia was bombarded by Mrs. Lin.Finally got a response.She quickly waved her hand and said: "Mom, I also know that I can't run for the election... But, can't I use other reasons? I'm sick or something, can't I? I have to be anxious to get married? Besides, this time is a national election , even if a hundred and ten are selected in the end, it will be difficult to choose me, right?"

Mrs. Lin glared at Lin Minjia, and scolded: "Min'er, you must not be so lucky!"

Lin Shiqing touched the back of Mrs. Lin's hand at this time.He smiled and said: "Don't worry, speak slowly. The children will understand." Then, he said to several children: "After hearing the imperial decree, your mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night..."

When did Mrs. Lin live like this?In the eyes of these juniors, their mother has always been omnipotent, and she is calm and calm no matter what happens... Thinking of this, Lin Minjia was a little embarrassed, and said: "Mother..."

Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, rubbed her brows, and explained slowly: "If it's someone else's family, you still have the right to be lucky, but our family...you also know what happened to your aunt back then. In case The one who holds a grudge in his heart and wants to take revenge intentionally, insists on ordering a daughter of the Lin family into the palace, causing us problems, embarrassing us? Watching us struggle or despair?"

Didn't Emperor Jinghe think maliciously: Back then you refused to marry your daughter to me, but now that I am the emperor, I just want your daughter to enter the palace, let's see what you can do!If you are willing to send your daughter in, then your decisiveness back then was not a joke!If you refuse...hehe, can your Lin family resist the decree?

This possibility is really, really big.

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Minjia and said seriously: "So, Min'er, you definitely can't run for the election. And you have gone out to show up several times in the past six months, and you have always been healthy and healthy. If you say you are sick, yes It's a bit hard to win people's trust. But when it comes to engagement, you're almost done, so it's much more credible."

"But, mother..." Lin Minjia's mind became more flexible at the moment.She questioned: "If that one is really eyeing our family, why doesn't he know the details of my engagement?"

Mrs. Lin snorted coldly, and said: "So what if he knows? Can he really tell the truth and tear himself apart with the Lin family? Besides, our family is definitely not the only one doing such a hasty engagement. If he This is an excuse to trouble the Lin family, how can he still trouble everyone? Why can't he just pretend he doesn't know!"

"What about the younger sisters?" Lin Minjia frowned and said, "You can't all be engaged at once, right?"

Mrs. Lin took a look at Lin Yijia who was sitting upright, and said slowly: "They will discuss it later. Now let's settle your affairs. After all, your age is just right, and you have a good background. The chance of being selected is higher than that of your younger sister. They're much bigger."

Lin Minjia collapsed his body somewhat dejectedly, and muttered: "That guy Kang Yongtong doesn't look like a student, he's just a rough person!...I don't know that Dou Libai, and what mother said, he seems to say It’s like a girl’s house...then let me say, I don’t even like it.”

"Then what do you like in your heart?" Mrs. Lin didn't blame Lin Minjia for anything, but instead asked.

Lin Minjia blushed all of a sudden, jumped to her feet angrily, puffed up her cheeks with staring eyes and said, "Mother! What are you talking about! I've never thought about it before!"

Mrs. Lin nodded and believed Lin Minjia: "Now, mother, you wish you had thought about it in the past...Since you have no choice, you can only choose one of these two..."

Mrs. Lin carefully analyzed and explained the advantages and disadvantages of Kang Yongtong and Dou Libai.Lin Minjia also understood the urgency and seriousness of the situation at this time, she bit her lip and lowered her head in silence.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "Min'er, mother knows that you feel uncomfortable... But isn't there no choice? Besides, the life of two people involves all aspects, and it's not that if there is love between husband and wife, they will be able to live. Well, it's not that the two of you will have a bad life if you don't intend to... In short, don't life need to be managed?"

"Think about your sister." After Mrs. Lin finished her last sentence to Lin Minjia, she left Lin Minjia to think about it, and then asked the others: "What about you? What's your opinion?"

Lin Huijia and Lin Jiakang certainly couldn't help Lin Minjia make a decision.

Lin Yijia sat up straight at this time, and said solemnly: "Mother, Xiao Liu is thinking about what you said at the beginning."

"What?" Mrs. Lin asked.

"Know everything." Lin Yijia said: "Mother, we know everything about Brother Kang. We know who is around him, who he trusts the most, what disgraceful things he has done, etc.; but, mother, we What do you know about Mr. Dou?"

"Mom, of course you and daddy have a good eye for each other." Lin Yijia added: "But what if... just what if, that Mr. Dou has something hard to say, and even his family members don't know what to say." What? We have nowhere to go..."

Both Lin Shiqing and Mrs. Lin frowned.

The two thought for a while, and Mrs. Lin asked, "Xiao Liu, do you know something?"

Lin Yijia shook her head: "Father, mother, I told you, don't scold me... A few days ago, I saw two allusions to words. ...Because of my curiosity, I inquired more, and felt that Mr. Dou is... quite something."

Lin Yijia's face was slightly hot, she bit her teeth lightly and said: "Father, mother, although I suspect that Mr. Dou is not good, but... what if? This is a big event in my life! You have to be more cautious, right?" She Then he directly said to Lin Minjia: "Sister, if you let me choose... I think Brother Kang is very, very reliable compared to someone I don't know."
