Second spring

153 Debt collection

Lin Yijia was a little bewildered by Lin Huijia's behavior. She sat down for a long time with her hands tied, even the tea on the small stove was boiled away, but she didn't see her elder sister expressing anything. Instead, she looked straight at herself and couldn't help touching her face , asked carefully: "Sister, could it be that someone outside really spread gossip? Is it serious?"

Lin Huijia shook her head when she heard the words, picked up the teapot and heated the tea bowl, then poured two cups for her sisters, put the teapot back on the small stove to warm, and then said: "No gossip. I was testing you."

"Ah?" Lin Yijia was even more confused for a moment.

"My mother told me just now that you don't seem to care about getting married and starting a family at all, and you are very worried, so I came to test you." Because she is her own sister, Lin Huijia decided to speak out.

After hearing this, Lin Yijia retorted: "Why? Of course I will marry. I..." She wanted to explain, but Lin Huijia frowned tightly, her expression was very serious, and she gradually couldn't continue .

Lin Huijia smiled wryly and said: "Look at you. We were all shy when we heard the word marriage back then. And what about you? You kept talking about marriage, but you didn't take it seriously, as if you were saying that of course you know how to eat... ...Is this the mentality that a little girl in the boudoir should have? What is going on with you?"

The more Lin Huijia talked, the more distressed she became, and her expression became serious.

Lin Yijia pursed her lips, wanted to speak several times, but finally lowered her head.

marriage?

Of course she will marry.She never thought that she could stay in the Lin Mansion forever, and none of her parents would allow her to groom herself.She also didn't want them to worry about her all the time.

Sometimes she also realizes that her mentality is wrong, unlike her younger daughter.It's just that, in her previous life, she had loved so hard and lived with the person she loved. The so-called love and the so-called marriage are just that. She has already tasted it, so what else is worth looking forward to? What about?

The choice I made in my previous life was incorrect.Well, this life.She doesn't choose for herself.She believes that her father and mother will definitely find a suitable husband for her, and she is willing to work hard to manage her own small life, just like the two sisters.

She suddenly remembered the fire and the shriveled longan on the Lantern Festival a long time ago.

Lin Yijia shook her head slightly, drove the indifferent picture out of her mind, and smiled at Lin Huijia pretending to be shy.Said: "Eldest sister, you and mother have thought too much. I just think that it would be more inappropriate to think wildly. Anyway, mother will always choose a lover for me."

Lin Huijia has been staring at Lin Yijia.

And Lin Yijia's momentary trance naturally did not escape Lin Huijia's eyes.And Lin Huijia can also see that there must be something about her little sister's shyness.Could it be that this little girl of mine is hiding something deeply?An indifferent gesture deceived both mother and himself?

This ghost girl!

After this conclusion came out, Lin Huijia felt much relieved.She scolded: "You girl! You're so lazy!"

But that's fine too.It is easy to go astray when the daughter's family thinks wildly.

Afterwards, Lin Huijia stopped mentioning this.When talking about the affairs in Rongjun Prince's Mansion, she couldn't help mentioning Princess Linglong, she was both contemptuous and emotional, and said: "She is one year older than you, relying on the Queen Mother's favor, she really dares to say anything. "

Some things are not easy to mention with elders.There is no taboo between sisters.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yijia asked.

"Everyone in the family knows what she thinks in her heart. The old lady has endured her for the past few years to the limit. During the spring banquet, in front of the queen mother, she begged the old queen to make a marriage proposal for her. The queen mother was very happy to hear that , agreed with one gulp. But guess what she said?"

The empress dowager's kindness does not mean that no one will accept it if they don't want to.

Lin Yijia was a little curious. "Oh? What did she say?"

Lin Huijia curled her lips and said contemptuously: "She actually said that men in this world are not as good as her brother Zhao Shiyan in her eyes! If the Queen Mother can find someone who is at least better than Zhao Shiyan, she will marry! Listen, how can she She can say it! How can she not be ashamed!"

Lin Yijia was also very surprised.This Princess Linglong is really courageous!That's why the people who bullied Rongjun's mansion dared not speak out her filthy thoughts!

"Isn't the princess of the old county mad?" Lin Yijia asked.

"Isn't it?" Lin Huijia took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows and said, "The princess of the old county tried her best to smooth things out for her, but she fell seriously ill after returning home, and she hasn't recovered yet. And what about her? Going in and out as usual, playing and having fun. Poor old concubine of the county, she can't speak out when she's sick, and she can't be punished..."

"She has nothing to worry about," Lin Yijia said.

"Yeah, I'm really bored." Lin Huijia sighed, "Seeing her walking around in front of me every day, really..." She paused, and said, "If you say she is better than Zhao Shiyan, only a few princes are better than Zhao Shiyan." Zhao Shiyan's status is more valuable... Excluding the royal family, only Wuxinghoufu and Dingguogongfu are the most prominent. But Dingguogong's two young princes are not of the same generation, and Wuxinghoufu has only one young prince left. The age is also right..."

When Lin Huijia said this, she stopped, and Lin Yijia felt itchy in her heart. She couldn't help staring at Lin Huijia, her bright eyes urged her to continue talking.

Lin Huijia sighed, and said: "The prince and concubine wanted to discuss marriage with Marquis Wuxing several times, but your brother-in-law never agreed."

"Why?" Lin Yijia asked strangely, "Brother-in-law is always reluctant to part with his younger sister."

Lin Huijia gave Lin Yijia a white look, and said: "Your brother-in-law has a very good personal relationship with Yang Guangbei, no matter what, he would never watch him marry such a wife. If you promise Linglong to him, your brother-in-law thinks it is an insult to his friend .Besides, the people in Marquis of Wuxing are not stupid. Even if they didn't know about it before, they may not be able to find out what is wrong with Linglong after a long time. By then, it will be really ugly..."

Lin Yijia nodded cooperatively.

"Now, the best way is to marry her far away, and never return to Shengjing for the rest of her life. But she is still favored by the queen mother, and the county king and princess can't force her too much..." Lin Huijia said: "Neither I know how long I have to recognize her. Fortunately, your brother-in-law has not been at home very much. "

That's right, if Zhao Shiyan was at home and Linglong wandered between them, I'm afraid it would be even more disgusting.

Hearing Lin Huijia mentioned distant marriage, Lin Yijia's heart moved, but she thought of two very good husband candidates for Linglong.However, it was still too early, so she complained to Lin Huijia, and then went on to talk about other gossip.

At noon, maybe Lin Huijia said something to Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin looked a little more relaxed, but occasionally looked at her little daughter with a hint of inquiry.

After dinner, Lin Yijia was about to bid farewell to her mother and sister for a lunch break, but Mrs. Lin suddenly mentioned: "Xiao Liu, I remember, do you, brother Song, still owe you a bet? That year , You said that he would be Tanhua and marry the princess, but it came true immediately. How did you know?"

Why bring this up again?

Lin Yijia smiled mischievously, and said: "I didn't choose good things to say. Besides, isn't there something about the emperor's golden palace in the play? I didn't expect it to happen. I also said that Brother Qin will be in the meeting , but Brother Qin failed the ranking..."

"It's a pity that your brother Qin missed this big exam because of his filial piety. His filial piety period is only a few months away." Mrs. Lin said casually: "However, your father said that he has studied in peace and benefited a lot in the past two years. I will be very sure of the next game, and I will be able to get a very high ranking."

"That's great." Lin Yijia smiled.

At this time, she was really happy for Qin Mingyuan.He may have gone the wrong way in a moment of arrogance and recklessness, but he finally changed back, which is really good.She was sure that she would no longer have any feelings for Qin Mingyuan, but she was also unwilling to watch him become a flashy and utilitarian person.

"Don't talk about him." Mrs. Lin shook her head, stretched out her hand and patted Lin Yijia's head, and said angrily, "You led me off the topic again. Let me ask you, did your brother Song promise to take you around the capital?"

Lin Yijia nodded.

"Well, then you go to him and let him cash in. Seeing that the weather has warmed up for a few days, you should go out and relax." Mrs. Lin scolded: "You girl is the same, you deserve it, just delay It's been so long... If one day you get engaged, it will be impossible to go out if you want to."

Lin Yijia smiled and said, "Mother, Brother Song has always been busy. He is working in the Ministry of War now. He is fighting now, how can he get away?"

"No matter how busy you are, it won't take you ten days and half a month." Mrs. Lin said decisively: "He is just a petty official, so what's the point of taking a few days off? Now that the war is at a stalemate, there shouldn't be any The big scene is happening, so you can go and play with peace of mind."

Last year, Xiliang and Goryeo raised troops at the same time, and Daxian was indeed caught off guard, especially the death of Lord Yang, which caused the Northwest Army to be in chaos for a while and suffered a lot of losses.But after the war went on for more than a year, after Daxian and the Northwest Army reacted and stabilized their positions, Xiliang and Goryeo hadn't gained any benefits for a long time.As for Daxian, he also can't take advantage of it for a while.Today, the war between the two parties is said to be stalemate, rather than confrontation.

Although Song Jie is a Tanhua and a son-in-law, but his seniority is inexperienced. After joining the Ministry of War, he is just a small official who runs errands and does odd jobs.If Mrs. Lin spoke, he would definitely be able to find time.

Lin Yijia vaguely understood why her mother suddenly wanted to relax by herself. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that what her mother said was very reasonable-if she didn't act anymore, if she promised someone, she would definitely not be so free.Thinking of this, she happily thanked Mrs. Lin, and said: "Thank you mother for making decisions for my daughter, my daughter must go to Brother Song to collect debts!"
