Chapter 294 Lin Hai 157
Lin Min didn't know where his daughter-in-law was, but Ji knew where to find her.Ever since Lin Chen and Lin Mu got married, the Ji family had never been left behind at any gathering in Beijing.Not long after, the officials in the capital also spread the word among themselves that Mrs. Wending Hou was picking a wife for the number one scholar, Lin Min.
On the second day of the first lunar month, Lin Chen gave birth to his eldest son, and the mother and child were safe.This child resembles Lin Chen in many ways, that is to say, he resembles his grandmother Ji.The Ji family is so happy that the child is unwilling to let go even when he sleeps.I really wish I could live in Lin Chen's yard.It was time to go to bed every night, so I reluctantly left my grandson and went back to my main courtyard.But just liking grandson so much, she didn't delay her participation in the Lantern Festival held by the empress.
In fact, the Lantern Festival on Lantern Festival is also a blind date meeting in disguise.There is a daughter of the right age who is not engaged in the family. On this day, the mother will dress up her daughter beautifully and take her to participate in the lantern festival that can only be attended by people with official titles above the fifth rank.
The Ji family has no daughter, so she went alone to watch the lanterns.But the champion son of the Lin family couldn't stand it, and there were many other imperial wives who came to greet her with their daughters.
After dealing with it for more than half an hour, the Ji family has not found any girl who can make his eyes shine.Not long after the lantern show started, she was embarrassed and left.Ji and the people around her apologized and went to change clothes, then walked outside.
Stepping out of the crowd's encirclement, Mrs. Ji let out a deep breath.Lin Min was here to torture her. Since he was a child, he has worried more about him than those three sons combined.The husband insisted, what kind of daughter-in-law to marry, you must ask the child's wishes, alas!
Sons are all debts.
Mrs. Ji walked to the outside, more and more sideways, and there were fewer and fewer lanterns in front of him, but occasionally he saw one or two good ones.When Ji heard voices in front of her, she immediately stopped, turned around slowly, and wanted to go back quietly.But the sound sent to the ear by the wind was very clear.
"Cousin, look at that lantern, it's so beautiful, why is it hung so high?" the delicate little girl's voice.
Ji clutched her chest and laughed silently, she was too cautious.
"It's quite beautiful. Such a beautiful lamp is hung so high, probably on purpose."
"Cousin, help me take it off and have a look."
There was a sound of warning in the wind. "You help me watch people, and I will pick up the lantern for you."
Ji looked intently at the place where he was speaking, and saw a graceful figure jumping up silently.Clinging to the branch with one hand, he untied the light rope with the other.With the action of untying the light rope, the branches swing up and down.Ji's heart skipped a beat, following the branches up and down.This girl's qinggong is good, but the branch on which the lantern is hung is a little too thin.
The beautiful glass lamp, painted with lotus and carp, was untied from the high hanging branch by the girl.Ji looked at the glass lantern's swaying face and the lightly falling figure, her heart moved, she deliberately stepped on the sound, and walked towards the two of them.
"Someone is coming. Come on."
There was a rustling sound, and he wanted to go far away, but he forgot the lantern in his hand, and guided Ji Shi who was chasing him.After three turns and two turns, the two of them were about to turn back to the crowd, so Ji hurriedly quickened his pace.
"Ouch", the lantern tilted.Probably that cousin sprained her ankle.
Following the cousin's pause, Mrs. Ji walked up to the two girls.
"Hi Ma'am." The cousins had no choice but to greet Mrs. Ji.
"Okay, okay. Whose family do you belong to?" Ji asked with a smile.
The little girl pursed her lips. The lady followed her all the way after seeing her cousins untie the lanterns.Is this a complaint to the parents?
Ji was not in a hurry, and carefully looked at the girl who was slightly taller than herself, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.Although it is not as good as Yanyan's super-dusty and refined, and compared with Zhu's, it is also a lot worse, but it is much more beautiful than Tao's, with a unique heroic flavor.Ji felt that she liked it very much, especially the skill just now, which was much better than her own.
The three of them just stood there smiling and froze.
After a while, the little girl's mother looked for her, and she saw her daughter, niece and Mrs. Linge standing together, smiling, but not speaking, guessing that something was wrong.Hurry up and say hello to Mrs. Ji.
"Hello Mrs. Lin. My concubine, Mrs. Liu, sends my regards to Mrs. Lin."
Mrs. Ji hurriedly returned the gift, although she didn't know the person in front of her, she was dressed like an official.
Mrs. Liu reported her family name very winkingly, "I am the husband-in-law, and I am Cao Xun, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor."
Mrs. Ji saw that Mrs. Liu was eye-catching, and asked, "Mrs. Cao, are these all your daughters?"
Liu said with a smile, "This younger one is my concubine's youngest daughter, and this one is my concubine's elder sister's eldest daughter."
"How old is your niece?"
Seeing Ji's eyes, Liu couldn't understand what Ji meant. Is this to choose a wife for the number one scholar?With a smile, she sent her daughter and niece away, letting them watch the lights and play.
"My niece will reach her age in March this year. Her father was the magistrate in Dezhou. He accompanied his brother to Beijing a few years ago and stayed at my house. She is planning to participate in the Spring Festival next year." She also wanted to be at the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival. , Find a husband's family in Beijing for her daughter.
"Have you made a decision?" Ji didn't even bother to hide it, and asked eagerly what was in his heart.
"Not yet." Liu's gentle smile made people feel ironed. "My concubine brought the child here to watch the lanterns and see the world. This child is good everywhere, but he has stayed in Shandong for a long time. People there like to dance knives and sticks." The implication of Liu's words is She wanted to say that her niece was a martial artist, but she never thought that this was what Ji was interested in.
Ji Shi and Liu Shi talked more and more speculatively, and Liu Shi introduced the Kang family's situation carefully without showing any trace.When the two separated, they were already like friends who had known each other for many years.
When Mrs. Ji returned to the mansion, she asked someone to invite Lin Hai to the backyard, and couldn't wait to talk to her husband about the girl she fell in love with.
Lin Hai waited for Mrs. Ji to finish speaking, and said with a smile, "The person Wanrong is optimistic about must be good. I'll ask the official voice of the prefect of Dezhou."
Ji smiled awkwardly, she forgot the most important thing, she always had to look at the character of her in-laws before getting married.It also avoids causing unnecessary trouble to her husband and son. .
"Husband, I just think that the girl is good, ha ha, ha ha."
Ji's eyes on people, with Dow and Zhu in front, Lin Hai believed in Ji's evaluation of the girl.
Soon the history, personality, and three generations of the prefect of Dezhou were placed on Lin Hai's desk.Lin Hai looked carefully and then went to Cheng Yin and asked about Kang Shao.
"Kang Shao is very calm," Cheng Yin had an impression of him. He was the fellow Jinshi when he presided over Chunwei. "This person went from county magistrate to prefect step by step, and his evaluation for more than ten years was basically above average. Why did Ruhai think of asking him?"
"It was the Ji family who chose a wife for Lin Min. During the Shangyuan Festival, he took a fancy to his daughter. He and Qin Tianjian are brothers-in-law."
"Oh. It's a good marriage partner. Congratulations, Ruhai."
After the Liu family and the Ji family separated, they did not receive any news from the Marquis Wending's residence for many days.Just when Mrs. Liu thought that Mrs. Linge's wife was just talking about it, the Cao family received a post from Wending Hou's Mansion, inviting the female relatives to the Hou's Mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms.Liu hurriedly told her husband about the matter, which was highly appreciated by Cao Xun.Mr. Linge's champion son, if his niece can get into this marriage, it will be a pie in the sky.Master Cao urged his wife to dress up her niece and daughter beautifully, so don't miss out on this good marriage.
Not to mention the Cao family, Mrs. Liu is busy buying clothes and jewelry for her niece.Even the Lin family, Lin Hai and the Ji family nervously hoped that this could be Lin Min's marriage.
The most anxious person in the Lin family is Lin Min.Because his mother told him that this girl was the only one she had ever dated who was closest to her sister. If he didn't match, he would use the official media in the future.
Lin Min had been around the Yanyu Building for a long time, watching his mother accompany the guests and bring two girls, one big and one small, over.Without blinking, he stared at the slightly fluttering hem of the tall girl's coat.Alright, with a steady footsteps and a solid base, my mother said that she is good at qinggong, so it must be a lie.He was looking forward to seeing the girl's full face, but he was also afraid that the girl would find him.I couldn't help but my heart jumped up.
While Mrs. Ji accompanied Mrs. Liu and took the two girls to the Yanyu Building, she introduced her garden. "These plum trees were transplanted when the ancestors of the Lin family opened the mansion. It is said that they have been around for many years. Although the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the yard are beautiful, it is still at this time when the plum blossoms are in full bloom. best time."
Mrs. Ji led the guests upstairs, and the Kang family girl felt that as soon as she entered the garden, a line of sight was glued to her body.She understood what her aunt meant by bringing her to Lin's mansion, she felt that she was peeping into her sight, it must be the number one scholar, hiding somewhere nearby.Before entering the building, Miss Kang stopped suddenly, turned her head slightly to the right, and with a sweep of her eyes, she caught Lin Min, who was stretching her neck and following her eyes.Lin Min was caught off guard, face to face, eye to eye with Miss Kang, and looked at each other squarely.
"Cousin, let's go."
Miss Kang smiled, turned her head and went upstairs.
Lin Min, who was taken away by the girl's smile, almost fell from the tree.
When Lin Min came back to her senses, Ms. Kang took her cousin to choose the plum blossoms to put in the vase.He watched Miss Kang soaring up from the ground lightly, breaking off the plum branches, and he had a single thought in his mind, she was the only one.
Lin Min settled down on the marriage, and Lin Mu's eldest son was born.
For the sake of this double happiness, the Ji family issued two months' extra monthly regulations to the servants in the mansion.
Because Kang's family was far away in Dezhou, the two families could only exchange letters. After several discussions, the marriage was fixed at the end of September.
Lin Hai was happy, another daughter-in-law came in, and next year he will have another grandson.
