Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 323 Farewell

  After the old lady left, the queen mother couldn't help but sighed to her confidant: "Time makes people grow old."

   For such a tough arrangement, she thought that even if Dou Chuncao couldn't resist, she would show some resistance, but what she didn't expect to see was a happy and grateful Dou Chuncao.

   This made the Queen Mother feel relieved, and inevitably gave birth to a bit of sigh.

   After the old lady returned home, she immediately asked someone to go to King Jing's mansion to invite Lin Hao.

  Lin Hao hurried over. Seeing that his grandmother looked fine, he was relieved: "Grandma called me back, is there something wrong at home?"

  The old lady didn't give up: "Your elder brother's marriage has been settled."

  Lin Hao was shocked: "So suddenly?"

   "Actually, it means the family of heaven. Fortunately, it refers to a good person. It is the second girl of the mighty Marquis mansion."

  Lin Hao raised his heart abruptly when he heard the first half of the sentence, and then heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Second girl from the Weiwu Houfu? Isn't that Kou Wan?"

   The old lady nodded with a smile.

   Lin finally bent his lips.

  If there is no heavenly family to intervene, she certainly hopes that her eldest brother will marry a loving wife. Under the divine destiny, the wife of Tianjia is Kou Wan, which can be said to be lucky.

   She knew the character of her eldest brother and Kou Wan's character. Even if they couldn't get along, at least they could respect each other.

   "Don't worry, grandmother, Kou Wan is a very good girl. She is a cheerful person who doesn't have much thought, and she is not cowardly at heart, so she will definitely get along with her eldest brother."

  The old lady smiled: "Listening to what you said, it also fits well with our General's Mansion."

  The old lady had a bottom line in her heart and quickly informed Cheng Zhiyuan and his son about it.

  Cheng Zhiyuan had no opinion, Cheng Shu was dazed after listening, and found Lin Hao privately: "Ah Hao, how is that girl?"

  Lin Hao deliberately teased him: "Which aspect does eldest brother ask? Appearance or personality?"

   "Of course it's looks." Cheng Shu said without hesitation.

   Kou Er girl can become friends with Ah Hao, no need to ask about her temperament and character.

  Lin Hao gave him an angry look: "Did you see Big Brother before?"

   Pig trotters who only care about appearance are not worthy of Kou Wan!

  Cheng Shu scratched his head: "I've only met like that two or three times, and you're all together. I don't have the nerve to take a closer look."

   "Don't worry, Wan'er looks good."

   "That's good, that's good." Cheng Shu breathed a sigh of relief and walked away with a smirk.

   Not long after, the news of the emperor's marriage to Cheng Shu and Kou Wan spread. The old lady thought it would be cleaner, but I didn't expect more people to come, all of them coming towards Cheng Zhiyuan.

  The emperor gave Cheng Zhiyuan's son a marriage, which further showed that Cheng Zhiyuan was about to be reused.

  Looking at the old mother who couldn't be quiet, Lin couldn't help suggesting: "Or you can choose a good one to settle down for the eldest brother. Look at Shu'er, the marriage is sure, it's not that no one will care about it right away."

   The old lady took a deep look at the girl who couldn't understand, and sighed: "Wanqing, you are really clever."

   Lin pursed his lips and smiled: "This is called once and for all. It saves you from worrying about it every day."

The old lady felt that if she went with the flow like this, her adopted son would not wait for the silly girl to wake up when her hair turned white, so she decided to push her: "It makes sense. We won't consider teenage girls, I will pick them out. A few suitable ones, you help the staff and staff."

   "Okay." Lin came to the spirit.

   "How is this house?"

  Lin shi immediately shook his head when he saw what he had written down: "Although the widow is nothing, she has been married three times, and she has died three husbands in a row. Isn't it a bit... life-threatening?"

   She doesn't really believe these things, but it can fall on her close people, so she can't avoid being a little worried.

   "This is even worse. If the husband's family commits a crime, he will return to his mother's family. It can be seen that he cannot share weal and woe."

   "This is an unmarried girl, but she's almost thirty and hasn't been married. Is there any concern? You'd better ask in-depth to feel at ease..."

  The old lady rubbed her brows and said with a headache, "It's better to know the bottom line."

   Lin nodded: "Yes."

  The old lady sighed: "If you and Zhiyuan can form a pair and become a family, my mother will be more at ease."

   "What did you say, how can this be done!" Lin subconsciously objected.

   "Why not? Is your elder brother ugly? Or is he a bad character?"

"of course not."

   "Why not?"

   "But he's my eldest brother!" Lin Shi was a little confused.

   The old lady saw her daughter's reaction and knew that she really hadn't thought about it. She pierced that layer of window paper with a heart: "Why did you drag yourself down when you were your righteous brother and refused to marry?"

   Lin shi was startled, it was not a girl after all, and a certain guess rose in his heart.

"What he wants to marry is you. Even if you marry someone, you still don't want to marry someone else. It was your father who beat him hard and told him that if he didn't marry a wife, he would harm your father. That's why he married a tree. daughter."

   "That tree girl is so pitiful..." Lin shi said subconsciously.

But the old lady didn't think so: "How many couples do you think are happy in this world? The vast majority are the ones who haven't seen each other before marriage. Mother Shuer lost her father when she was young, and her mother was sick all the time. Although Zhiyuan was right She has no love between men and women, but she is considerate in everything, and she is also respectful and considerate. Not long after Shuer's mother passed away, her mother also passed away, and everything was handled by Zhiyuan, and the next two sisters were also the husband's family that Zhiyuan helped pick. , and also subsidized a large dowry..."

   The old lady's tone was calm, and her eyes showed the open-mindedness of her age: "Wanqing, it's not just about the relationship between men and women when a woman gets married."

   Lin was stunned for a moment.

   "He runs out all the year round, but he doesn't return to the capital, because he can't let you go, and he feels uncomfortable..." The old lady threw another thunder.

   Lin was stupefied by this lightning strike and did not respond for a while.

  The old lady saw her like this and didn't say any more.

  The window paper is pierced, so let's leave it to time and fate, many things cannot be forced.

   It was rare for Zhiyuan to return to the General's Mansion for dinner on this schedule, and found that the Lin family was exceptionally quiet.

   "What happened to Wanqing?"

   Lin Shi held the chopsticks in his hand, feeling a little nervous for some reason: "It's alright, bro, you've been busy all day, eat quickly."

  After the meal, the family would drink tea and chat, but Lin quickly stood up and went back to the residence on the excuse of a headache.

   Early the next day, the long attendant who followed Cheng Zhiyuan came to the general's mansion and brought two bottles of cooling cream to Lin.

   "Master said that this cooling cream can relieve headaches, let you try it."

   Lin Shi was holding the cooling cream and couldn't tell what he was feeling for a while.

   Soon the imperial court will reopen the shipping department. When everything is ready, Cheng Zhiyuan will travel across the ocean with the caravan as an imperial envoy to carry out business.

  This time, I am afraid that it will be at least a year later.

   It was late autumn on the day we said goodbye.

  The autumn wind was blowing and the coolness hit the people at the Jingcheng Wharf. Cheng Zhiyuan gave a firm kowtow to the old lady who insisted on sending him off: "Foster mother, the baby is gone, you must take care of your health."
