Chapter 128

Seeing her mother like this, Shi Lin knew that this was a deliberate question, but she was also afraid to continue other topics, so she cooperated and explained: "Of course, although the big and small things in the family, especially the engagement and engagement, must be My housewife comes forward, but what should I do if my mother-in-law doesn't tell me to let Master Hou make the decision without telling me? Should I listen to Master Hou or not? I'm afraid that not only Master Hou will quarrel with me, but Even my son has to give birth to me, alas!"

But seeing her daughter like this, the old lady also had a headache. Knowing that her daughter was really anxious, she was afraid that she would choose someone else for the ring with the old lady, so she hurriedly discussed: "Lin'er, you don't think about Sister Fang at all, I It looks like this family is pretty good. If you are afraid that your elder brother will find out and won’t help you, just rest assured that he won’t ignore you when I’m with you. Besides, your elder brother’s children at home are not bad. Especially your eldest brother treats your second brother well, Sister Fang is his niece, there is no reason not to help."

After hearing this, Shi Lin thought of her elder brother's temperament. It is true that the elder brother cares about the face of the Duke's mansion the most. If something happened to her, the elder brother would not ignore it. But there is a difference between a dear daughter and a niece , she couldn't guarantee how dedicated her elder brother would be, but she didn't want to disobey her mother for this matter anymore, so she just sighed and said: "It's not what mother thinks, I don't think there is any difference between the two elder brothers, But mother, you should understand that Master Hou didn't even let go of the wooden girl, our sister Fang is in trouble!"

Old Mrs. Shi's face turned dark when she heard this. Although it was the truth and her own daughter said it, after all, it was too hurtful. Then he regained his expression, and said indifferently: "Master Hou has really high vision, if that's the case, why bother to plan these things, anyway, you can't be the master."

Shi Lin's face blushed when her mother said it, but she would not make excuses for this. After all, she really did not dare to arrange her son's marriage privately in the Hou Mansion, and she came here today just thinking about it in private. First, she made an arrangement with her natal family for the second girl, and then went home to grind the Hou Ye. If the Hou Ye really refused, she would have nothing to do, but she knew in her heart that if the Hou Ye made it clear that she did not want her niece from her natal family to be his daughter-in-law , then she wouldn't slap herself in the face and agree to the wooden girl, she was sure of that.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Shi Lin knew that she had set up her niece and niece firstly to help her, and secondly to stop the Lord Hou from talking so that he could not easily agree to the old lady's appointment with the wooden girl. For her own selfishness, Shi Lin laughed unknowingly: "Mother, don't vomit at me, I really can't do anything about Brother Can, but I still have to do something, otherwise my mother-in-law should make the decision. Girl, I have a candidate on my side, so it's not easy for Hou Ye to be biased, and mother should understand what I mean."

Old Madam Shi really didn't expect her daughter to be in such a situation in the Hou's Mansion, her heart softened, and she stopped being angry with her, and just sighed: "You are too confused about this matter, now that you know Lord Hou may not agree to this matter, why did you make such a big battle, and even wrote to your elder brother, never thought about how you would face your brothers if it didn't work out." Seeing her daughter's surprised look, the old man The wife curled her lips and snorted, "You! If I hadn't given birth to you, I would have decided not to pay attention to you. I really owe you."

When Shi Lin heard this, she was really surprised. She wrote to her elder brother to reveal her meaning, but she knew that her elder brother would never tell her mother first. How could she know that since mother knew about it, she didn't care what her elder brothers would say? When I got angry, I asked in amazement: "How did my mother know that I wrote the letter? Could it be that my elder brother said it? It shouldn't be!" This last sentence did not dare to be said loudly.

Even if Shi Lin spoke in a low voice, Mrs. Shi couldn't hear it so close, so she snorted angrily: "He said? You really think too much, who is your elder brother? You know? His filial piety is nothing more than money. He won't tell me anything else. This is not a son, he is an enemy. Okay, don't worry about how I know, just listen to me, you This matter is done like this, if your elder brother agrees, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Shi Lin wanted to be the best if she could succeed, and if she couldn't succeed, she wouldn't be in the way. The reason why she couldn't succeed was not because she was afraid that her elder brother would not allow it, but because if her Lord Marquis did not allow it, she simply regarded the second girl as a balance in her heart. It's just a bargaining chip, how can I think of so much, now that my mother has repeatedly reminded me, I have to think about it, but she usually doesn't pay much attention to her natal brothers and sisters-in-law, so she said unconsciously: "It's okay, If it can’t be done, it can only be because it’s inappropriate. We’re just talking about it at home, and no one is going to talk about it outside. If it’s not going to work, it won’t affect the marriage of your nieces and daughters. You’re really worrying too much.” After finishing speaking, I felt a little inappropriate, no Jue smiled embarrassingly.

These words really made old Mrs. Shi want to vomit blood. What kind of words are they called?Why did she spoil such a daughter who disregarded her natal family? No matter how partial the old lady was to her daughter, she would not let her spoil her natal family's face. It would not only lose her own face but also the whole The face of the Duke's Mansion.

The old lady had a lot of thoughts for a while, thinking that if she went underground to follow her daughter like this in the future, she would definitely not be able to explain to the ancestors of the Duke's Mansion. Besides, if her daughter is really successful, then don't think about her son. They will still be able to take good care of their daughter in the future, so they will no longer show good face to her daughter. They are very sullen and scolded: "What a confused girl, where is your foundation? Where is your obedience? You stepped on your mother's family. What good is human face to you?"

These words are already very serious, Shi Lin's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she realized that her mother was angry, and secretly regretted that she shouldn't have said it so bluntly, but the habit of many years was made by everyone for her, so what happened at the moment? She can turn the corner and correct it, but she is also a smart person after all, and she has coaxed her mother for many years. No matter what she thinks in her heart, she is busy smiling and begging for mercy: "Mother, don't be angry, my daughter is definitely not like this." Thoughts, I just ignored it because I was looking at my natal family, and I won’t be like this in the future. The elder brother hoped that my mother would help and say more good things. Fortunately, I didn’t say anything to the second girl, otherwise it would be really embarrassing See you big brother."

She turned the words well, and immediately touched Old Madam Shi's heart. She didn't want her daughter to appoint the second girl so that Brother Tao would have more help in inheriting the mansion in the future. In fact, it was not just her selfishness Preferring who to dislike, after all, this is a big deal, and she doesn't dare to play tricks, but because she knows the temper of the eldest son, she probably still prefers Brother Tao to inherit the title, after all, he is the eldest son, so she has to stop him So, who told Brother Tao's grandparents to be the Li family.

The old lady knew that her son hadn't proposed to be a son for so many years, firstly because she didn't want to annoy the emperor, secondly because she was afraid that she would stop her, so she just kept procrastinating. For the first reason alone, she couldn't follow along. The eldest son's heart, after all, how many people are there in this mansion, let alone the future, if they provoke the royal family to blame for Brother Tao and the others, what will happen to the lives of the people in the mansion?She can't risk it!

Every time the old lady thought of this, she would be startled, and she said to her daughter seriously: "Girl Lin, let's not talk about girl Fang, second girl, you must never think about it. It's not that mother hates them, but it's because of the higher-ups." If the Li family really gets up, you have a relationship like a big brother. , in case something happens, if you can still borrow your strength, why bother posting it at this time, it's not worth it!"

In fact, Shi Lin already knew that she had made a mistake. After being told by her mother, she also felt that it was too early to talk about it at this time, but she did not regret saying it at this time. If it was later, she might miss it even more. He was off the mark, so he smiled and said: "Listen to mother, but brother, I hope mother will talk about it."

The old lady is quite satisfied now. After all, her daughter still listened to some words. No matter how long she can persist in being obedient, as long as she doesn't still think that way now, she will have her own way to push it away later. You must know that Mrs. Li didn't Now, my grandmother can still be the master of my granddaughter's marriage, but I still feel a little regretful. The Hou Mansion is a good family. It would be great if Sister Fang could marry in, and it would be beneficial to make plans with myself. It's up to me, otherwise Sister Fang could barely match Brother Can because of her status as a daughter and niece.

Thinking of this, the old lady still had hope in her heart, and unconsciously asked again: "Lin'er, tell mother the truth, girl Fang is really not good? If you are afraid of Master Hou telling me, I will go and talk to him personally. When the master chose him, his identity was not worthy of you, the daughter of the duke's mansion, why bother to think of his identity now."

Looking into her mother's hopeful eyes, Shi Lin wanted to be vague, but thinking of her son, she really didn't want to just get along like this, so she gritted her teeth and shook her head, "Mother, it's not that my daughter doesn't like Sister Fang, it's really impossible, Mu girl Dad is now a member of the second rank, there is really no comparison, I can't talk to Lord Hou! Besides, if you ask, you will slap him in the face, how will your daughter live in the Hou's mansion in the future?" In fact, she really likes the eldest girl much more than the second girl, which is a pity.

Mrs. Shi is not someone who doesn't understand family relationships, and knows that even if she manages to force girl Fang to marry Brother Can, she will not be an in-law but an enemy, and she will not be able to force her daughter to live in peace. Forget it, such a deal is not worth it!Then she could only sigh. Thinking of this, she remembered the young master of the Zeng family that her daughter mentioned earlier. At that time, she only wanted to marry Sister Fang to Brother Can, and she rejected her daughter. Now she can consider it. Then he asked: "Didn't you say earlier that the Zeng family's young master is good, do you think Sister Fang can match him well?"
