History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 122

The selection of a concubine by the crown prince is a major event, and it is reasonable that it will not be fixed during the New Year's Day.According to what Xu Lang said, when Lin Lang returned to Beijing, he would still have time to propose a marriage, and Lin Lang would not be anxious about it. She didn't hate marrying Xu Lang, maybe she liked it a little bit?But now she is all focused on waiting for the letter from He Wenzhan's family, almost thinking about it day and night.Driven by her, even Mrs. Qin took her heart, guessing several times whether Qin would have a grandson or a granddaughter.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the letter from home was long overdue.

Lin Lang couldn't wait to open it, scanned the contents in a hurry, and immediately smiled, and happily handed the letter to the old lady, "Grandmother, look, my mother gave birth to a little brother!" The letter also mentioned the situation of the sister-in-law. A son was born in late January, and the old lady and He Wenhan and his wife were very happy.

Mrs. Qin was also happy after reading it, and she felt relieved when she saw the words "Mother and child are safe" on the letter, and she said immediately: "It just so happens that the bell is here, and I will prepare a gift for you to take back later, it is a part of my grandmother." Heart."

Of course, Lin Lang happily responded, and now the clouds and the moon are shining, and the whole world is brightened up.The sister-in-law Wu and Qin also had a good relationship, they said with a smile after reciting a sentence of Buddha, "Now Bell can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."

But where can I really feel at ease during the New Year?After looking forward to the family letter, she felt relieved, but thinking about her younger brother who had been looking forward to it for two lifetimes, thinking about her parents at home, Lin Lang wished she could fly back immediately.

As the end of the year approached, the mansion became more and more busy. Mrs. Wu became busy taking care of the housework, and Mrs. Mei was naturally busy all day long to help her.During the New Year's Eve, there were wine invitations everywhere, but Mrs. Qin was busy receiving posts, and set a time for the Qin family to invite wine, and posted posts everywhere.

At this moment, Qin Huai'en also sorted out the government affairs and came home. The whole family of Qin's family gathered together, lively and busy.

Qin Zhen and Lin Lang are free, they don't have to go out to socialize these days, and they have to tailor new clothes for the New Year. Naturally, they need to measure the size, choose the material, and choose the pattern. They also change into a set of jewelry and sachets. It's choking.

Near the end of the year, a piece of news came, which made both Lin Lang and Qin Zhen feel a little bit sorry - Shen Yulian's face was scalded, although the doctor took care of it, it could not be restored to its original appearance. Although the injury has healed a lot these days, it left a lot of scars , especially the corners of the eyes have changed, it is said that there is no cure.

It is a pity that the flower-like girl lost her impressive appearance, and the news that followed surprised everyone even more——

Zhu Hanxiang felt very guilty about what happened that day, and felt that if she hadn't asked to sign, this result would not have happened. Both mother and daughter wanted to compensate Shen Yulian.Zhu Yong regards Shen Sima as his confidant, and he can't bear the distress of his subordinates because of his beloved daughter. After the couple discussed, they planned to let Zhu Chengyu marry Shen Yulian.

Although she is only an ordinary wife, in Shen Yulian's current situation, to be able to marry Zhu Chengyu, a man of noble status and beauty, in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a blessing that many daughters can't dream of!

Lin Lang couldn't figure out the Zhu family's plan, but felt that this move was really puzzling.Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wu started discussing, but they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the Zhu family's gourd. They just felt that it was a pity that Shen Yulian's appearance was ruined.

This news instantly turned into an anecdote in Huaiyang City, and it was widely spread.Even when various houses set up wine during the Chinese New Year, whispering is indispensable.

Shen Yulian has been shutting herself in the room lately and not seeing anyone. Lin Lang and Qin Zhen have seen her many times but have not seen her. Only her sister Shen Yurong is there. When talking about her sister, her eyes turn red every time.

It was the same at this banquet, the Zhu family hosted a banquet to invite relatives and nobles in the city, Lin Lang and Qin Zhen naturally had to go.Shen Yulian used to be a frequent visitor to the Zhu family, but now that she is gone, the little sisters inevitably talk about it.One said: "I heard that the Shen family has invited famous doctors everywhere recently. I wonder if they can cure Miss Lian's face."

The other whispered: "It was scalded with hot oil. Even if it needs to be cured, it will take two or three years. Now I heard that she used the wrong thing, and the injury on her face is even worse. It makes the situation worse!"

"No way? Can you still use the wrong thing at this time?"

Someone also sneered, showing disbelief, "Do you believe the Shen family's disfigurement? None of us have seen Miss Lian, maybe it's just an exaggeration, as if it was serious, who knows how big the scar is?" .”

Some people disagreed, "How can this be nonsense? Miss Lian is also twelve years old. Who would dare to want to send a disfigured letter on purpose?"

"Who says no one wants it? Didn't Mr. Zhu just say he wanted to marry her?" There were countless girls who admired Zhu Chengyu's demeanor on weekdays, but now his tone was sour, "Now she should be happy, she can marry her." The Zhu family, the blessings that have been cultivated in several lifetimes!"

Several people whispered to each other and finally stopped talking when they saw Shen Yurong.

The Zhu family's banquet was full of guests, all the girls circled around Zhu Hanxiang, Lin Lang joined in the excitement for a while, and then went out with Jinxiu to relax.It's like this every time I come back to Zhu's house, looking at the familiar scenery and people, I will inevitably think of those bad things in my previous life, and the only way to resolve them is to relax and watch the scenery.

In the first month of the lunar year, the weather hadn't warmed up yet, Lin Lang walked slowly wrapped in a cloak, and the girls in the hall were laughing endlessly.Because Qin Zhen drank a lot, she was arranged by Zhu Hanxiang to take a nap in the room at the moment, and Shen Yulian was not present, so Lin Lang's side was much cleaner.

He took Jinxiu all the way to the lake, although he didn't like Zhu's house, the layout and furnishings here were excellent, the master and servant chatted slowly.Standing still under a veranda facing the lake, Lin Lang opened the window and looked out, the sun was gradually warming up, the thin snow last night had almost melted, the green trees and ice lake, it was a different scene.

Thinking of what happened to Shen Yulian, she was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery.Although he hated the Zhu family, he had to admit that the Zhu family's ability to sit on the throne in the previous life was inseparable from that ruthlessness, Zhu Hanxiang was like this, and Zhu Chengyu was even more like this.At that time, Zhu Yong was shot blind, and the second son Zhu Chengbi and Zhu Chengyu, but the throne fell into the hands of the second son, which can be seen.

People live in the world, kindness is of course indispensable, but appropriate cruelty is also indispensable, otherwise they can only be bullied by others.The plants and trees in front of me are all lessons!
Feeling that the stove in her hand was getting colder, she called out "Jinxiu", but there was no sound from behind.
