Need for money

Mrs. Lin knew that her grandson was kind-hearted, so every sentence she said made sense, and Lin Jingzhi's refutation was immediately rendered speechless.

Mrs. Lin Zhou is a miserable woman. She was already very pitiful after her husband died. Wouldn't it be unreasonable for her to be a widow for the rest of her life?

If it were placed in modern times, it would be fine to find another person to marry, but in this era, it is absolutely impossible. Lin Zhou is Lin Xiaozhi's official wife, she is not a concubine, and it is impossible for Mrs. Lin to let her out of the Lin residence. Marrying someone else, a concubine is treated like a piece of clothing in a wealthy mansion, and they don't take it seriously when they sell it off. However, as soon as a woman who is a regular wife enters her husband's family, it is tantamount to branding her husband's family on her body.

It is not an exaggeration to say that life is a member of her husband's family and death is a ghost of her husband's family.

So Lin Zhou's young age, if he can really marry Lin Jingzhi, it will be considered a blessing.

I just wanted to think about it, but Lin Jingzhi couldn't accept it ideologically. Even though he was transmigrated and not the real Lin Jingzhi, it still felt absurd to marry his sister-in-law in the name of his brother-in-law.

Mrs. Lin is a decisive and assertive person, and she will never change what she has determined. At this time, seeing her grandson still frowning and refusing to nod, her face changed slightly, "Jing Zhi, how could I now Since you fell ill and woke up again, you have become weird, not only have you learned not to listen to the old man, but you have not even woken up to the rules?"

"Since ancient times, major marriage matters have been ordered by parents and the words of matchmakers. How can you interrupt and make jokes? I just informed you of this matter in advance, not to ask for your opinion!"

Hearing Mrs. Lin say this, Lin Jingzhi's forehead instantly burst into a layer of cold sweat. Why did he forget to guard against Mrs. Lin after a few days? If he finds out If there are some clues, he is afraid that his life will be in danger.

But this matter can't just be answered like this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma, in fact, grandson is mainly worried that his sister-in-law will not agree, and Tian'er, he is already four years old this year, if he is unhappy because of this matter, It's not worth it."

"I haven't told your sister-in-law yet. How do you know that she will disagree? In fact, in my opinion, it's too late for her to be happy if she can marry you as an equal wife. Don't forget, you are the current head of the Lin family. As for Tian'er, he is still young and doesn't understand the affairs between adults, besides, isn't your relationship with Tian'er always very good?" Mrs. Lin felt her mouth dry after speaking, and picked up the The teacup took a sip.

"Here, grandma, my grandson just hopes that you don't persecute my sister-in-law. Since the death of my eldest brother, she has lived a miserable life." Lin Jingzhi sighed softly.

Mrs. Lin's hand holding the teacup froze slightly, and immediately responded: "No problem, I promise you, if she is really determined not to marry you, I will not force it."

Lin Jingzhi didn't know that what he said touched the mind of Mrs. Lin, otherwise Mrs. Lin would not be so easy to talk.

Back then, Mrs. Lin had a straight temper and loved to be serious with others. Because of being angry for many years, he suffered from shortness of breath and chest tightness. He sometimes even coughed up blood in anger. When he was just 40 years old, he died due to illness. And Mrs. Lin has also become the widow of the Lin family since then.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin is not a hard-working woman.

Perhaps it was because of the same sickness and sympathy, Mrs. Lin's attitude on this matter softened by three points, but she was still very sure about whether she could persuade Mrs. Lin Zhou to marry her grandson.

Women who are miserable, women who have no power, understand the importance of status better.

Lin Jingzhi couldn't figure out where Mrs. Lin's self-confidence came from, she could laugh so unfathomably profoundly, but she diverted the topic away, and then talked about Zheng Jianqiu. If he wanted to visit Zheng's family, the gift should not be taken lightly, otherwise it would be for nothing. I underestimated it.

After all, the Lin family is a famous family, but they can't afford to lose this person.

The two were talking, when they saw the servant who had conveyed the message to Zheng Jianqiu ran back again, "Go back to the old lady, the second master, the slave has already brought the message, and Mr. Zheng has also agreed, but Mr. Zheng said that tomorrow is a big day." Morning, I will come to the house again as a guest, and then I will rush to Jiancheng with the second master."

Jiancheng, the provincial capital of Liuzhou, and the mansions of Tian Ji and Zheng Sheng are all located here. Jiancheng is not very far from Luocheng, only about [-] kilometers away. In half a day, you can arrive.

Mrs. Lin waved her hand when she heard the words, motioned the servants to retreat, and said to Lin Jingzhi, "This junior surnamed Zheng is a bit changeable, even the old man can't figure it out for a while, why did he beat his slave? , he is easy to talk, but a dog that bites does not bark, this kind of scheming person is even more terrifying, so you have to be more careful in the future, and don't fall into his ways."

"Grandma, don't worry, grandson will save it, but from grandson's point of view, it must be profitable to change Zheng Jianqiu's mind. Otherwise, he really doesn't need to put down his social status to become friends with the Lin family." Lin Jingzhi analyzed. .

"Well, what you said is also reasonable. Although the Lin family saved his life and are kind to him, but no matter what, this surnamed Zheng is also a fourth-rank official. It's just for friendship, and it's just our Lin family going to Gao Gao's family. But it's hard to say whether the other party came to the Lin family because it was profitable, after all, we don't have any clues at hand, in short, you just need to be careful in the future and don't be taken advantage of."

"We're just using the Zheng family's reputation to resist Xia Tianji and Wang Meng's schemes. As for whether we can really make friends with the Zheng family, we don't have to worry too much about it."

To take the initiative to seek friendship, not only do you have to give enough benefits, but you also have to be a servant in a humble manner. Old Madam Lin doesn't bother to do this kind of thing, and she doesn't even bother to let her grandson do it.

Lin Jingzhi nodded when he heard the words, indicating that he understands that Zheng Jianqiu is not simple, but he, Lin Jingzhi, is not just a monkey who can be played with at will. Now the Lin family has secretly borrowed the fame and influence of the Zheng family. Don't mess up the relationship between the two families too much, Tian Ji, Wang Meng and others won't find out that this is just a trick played by the Lin family.

The two discussed in the room for a while, Lin Jingzhi got up to say goodbye, Mrs. Lin waited until her grandson's back came out of the house, and then called Liu Xiang to her side.

"Go and call my eldest granddaughter-in-law, I have something to say to her."

Liu Xiang just listened to the general idea, before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Old Madam, can Grandma really agree to marry Second Master?"

Based on her understanding of Lin Zhou's family, this possibility is not very high, but Mrs. Lin, how can she have such firm self-confidence.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Liu Xiang, then waved her hand, "Whether you agree, you will know later."

Upon hearing the words, Liu Xiang answered yes, and hurried out of the house, heading straight to Lin Zhou's small courtyard.

The descendants of the concubine are not comparable to the descendants of the direct line. Take Lin Xiaozhi as an example. Although Lin Xiaozhi is the elder brother, the small courtyard between him and his main wife is only five rooms in size, and the other courtyard for concubines is only two. One, there are three wing rooms in a small courtyard, one sleeps the master, other servants, and even several servants squeeze into one.

Lin Jingzhi's and his wife's courtyards are quite different. Not only are they large in size, there are even three small courtyards within a small courtyard, and there are no fewer than fifteen wing rooms. In addition, the size of the concubine's other courtyard is actually comparable to Compared with the size of the main house of the descendants of the concubines.

The Lin Zhou family only had one son, Lin Tian, ​​because she is a widow and does not have much influence. She has always been very low-key, and she is also very strict with her son, for fear that one day he will say the wrong thing and provoke him so much people, that would be bad.

After living in the backyard for so many years, she understands very well that if a mistress without power encounters any difficulties, it will be said that she should not respond every day, and the land will not work.

Take the matter of Lin Lizhi running to tease her in the past, if the girl hadn't had the courage to tell Lin Jingzhi in the end, according to the old lady Lin's attitude of turning a blind eye to this matter, she would have lost her life in the future. What will happen, I really can't imagine.

Anyway, Lin Lizhi is a scoundrel and a disciple, even if she dies, she will not let him succeed!

Lin Tian was sensible and well-behaved since he was a child. Apart from showing his innocence when he met the second uncle he liked very much, under normal circumstances, he would not talk much. Even in front of Mrs. Lin, he would Well-behaved, dare not joke casually.

After reading a page of the book, Lin Tian turned his neck cutely, and asked softly: "Mother, Tianer hasn't seen Second Uncle for a long time, when do you think Second Uncle will come to see Tianer?"

Lin Zhou sighed softly, stepped forward and sat aside, and put his son in his arms, "Second Uncle is the head of the family, and he has many things to do every day, so how can he have time to play with you every day?"

"But the second uncle hasn't come to play with Tian'er for a long time." Lin Tian struggled in his mother's arms, moved his head out, and squeezed the fingers of his left hand with his right hand. A few days.

Looking at her son's sad face, Lin Zhou felt a sudden pain in her heart. Since the child lost his father, how long has it been since he was truly happy?

He just wanted to chat with his second uncle and play games, but as a mother, he was always powerless and unable to help, so he was really useless.

Turning her head, she secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced herself to smile and said, "Tian'er, didn't the second uncle say that when he was leaving last time, as long as you obediently read and study, the second uncle will come to play with you. "

Hearing this, Lin Tian stopped what he was doing, thought carefully for a while, and then nodded solemnly, "Well, the second uncle said so, just read now obediently that day, and wait for Tian'er to read this book." When it's over, Second Uncle will come to see Tian'er."

After all, Lin Tian broke away from his mother's arms, sat upright at the table, and read again.

Lin Tian is only a little over four years old, and he still doesn't know many words. Whenever he encounters them, he will ask them in a childish voice. The mother and son are in the same room, and the scene of asking and answering is extremely warm.

But soon, this warmth was interrupted by the announcement from the servants outside the door, "Grandma, sister Liuxiang is here to pass on the message for the old lady!"
