Chapter 245 Investigation
The Lin family in the capital city had been looking forward to Kong Jiayi bringing her two grandchildren to Beijing for a long time, and now they have finally welcomed them!
When Kong Jiayi arrived, he didn't open the middle door to greet him, but walked through the side door, where his master usually goes.Kong Jiayi also understood that she did not treat her as a guest, so she was not annoyed.If he really left the middle door, Kong Jiayi would be very annoyed. After all, Lin Hai is the eldest son of the Lin family, and this house should be inherited by Lin Hai.
After entering the second gate, she saw her younger brother and sister Du Limei waiting. When she saw Kong Jiayi coming in, she immediately greeted her. Du Limei held Kong Jiayi's hand and said kindly, "It can be regarded as waiting for my sister-in-law, but it's not easy." Said Looking at Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu who were following behind Kong Jiayi, she smiled and said, "This is Yu'er, my aunt's new addition. It's so cute."
Kong Jiayi covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The pair of dragon and phoenix twins are not as cute as you. I have heard my mother mention it several times in her letter!"
No mother would be unhappy to hear that her child was being praised, so the two sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law walked towards the hall with a smile.
And now Master Lin and Jiang Shi, who had been idle at home, finally met their long-awaited eldest granddaughter Lin Lingyu and youngest grandson Lin Yu.
After Kong Jiayi said hello to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she said, "Ling'er, Yu'er, come quickly and meet your grandparents."
Brother and sister Lin Lingyu and Lin Yu walked up to Lin Lingyu and Jiang Shi and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, grandparents, grandparents, Ankang."
Seeing the two little babies kneeling down, Jiang shi hurriedly got someone to help them up. Because the pair of dragon and phoenix twins in Lin Shen's family and Lin Yu's children's shoes were about the same age, and they were both at Bai Yu's lovely age, Jiang was so happy. You can't see your face when you see your teeth.
Hugging Lin Yu all the time, his darling cried out.
Gossip less, Kong Jiayi is coming to the capital this time.It's not for fun, but for important missions, to see Miss Yuan's family.
After Kong Jiayi and Jiang Shi said a few polite words, they got to the point, "Mother also knows why my daughter-in-law went to the north! Master, let me hear your opinion first." This is polite, but it is actually asking Master Lin and What does the Jiang family have in mind for Miss Yuan's family?
Mrs. Jiang put down her teacup, and said to Kong Jiayi solemnly: "I won't repeat the family background of the Yuan family. I believe you all know it well. Although Mr. Yuan doesn't show his official position now, he is just a fifth-rank official. It's nothing more than a doctor, but he is the emperor's direct uncle. Just like that, the lady of the Yuan family is worthy of Ye'er!"
Kong Jiayi naturally knew this too, but the Lin family is not like other families that have gone downhill.You can't wait to marry the emperor's trusted family to ensure your family's status in the upper class.This alone is not enough to say about Kong Jiayi, or in other words, just such an identity.Because of her dignified daughter of the Confucius family, she still doesn't like her.
"But although our family values her, it's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Miss Yuan's family and Lin Ye's characters are very compatible. The national teacher of the Huguo Temple has said that this is what he has seen for so many years. The most matching couple, if they are torn apart, they will be punished by the heavens. If it is light, the children will not be given. If it is serious, the family will be ruined!" If it weren't for this statement, Master Lin and the Jiang family would not have thought that Lin Ye would be tied up at such a young age. a fiancée.
Just like when Lin Hai took the imperial examination, if the descendants are up to the challenge.Master Lin naturally likes his children and grandchildren to talk about marriage when they are successful and famous. It's not that the daughters of the Wan family let themselves choose!
Although Lin Ye's reading talent is not as good as Lin Hai's (on the bright side, Lin Ye's reading talent is actually higher than Lin Hai's), but compared to his peers, he is still pretty good!So it's not surprising that Master Lin had this idea, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
"Ah!" Kong Jiayi's eyes widened beyond imagination.
No way!
Is there anything wrong.
In other words, even if Miss Yuan's family is an unscrupulous girl.For Lin Ye's future, they all have to recognize this daughter-in-law?
Thinking of this, Kong Jiayi was a little reluctant.
Jiang shi sighed, "I was surprised when I found out about the news. Later, I used the horoscopes of the two of them's birthdays to find someone to calculate, and it was still the same way, so..."
There is no need for Jiang to say the rest, Kong Jiayi already understands!
Ancient people are not modern people. Sometimes they are very superstitious, especially when it is almost a big event about the whole family.
No matter how unwilling Kong Jiayi was, for the sake of Lin Ye's future and the fate of the Lin family, he could only agree.Kong Jiayi had already figured it out in her heart. If her son didn't like Miss Yuan's family, it would be a simple matter. At worst, he would marry a vase and go home, and just offer it up!
Good wife and beautiful concubine.
Isn't a wife supposed to be virtuous, and a concubine supposed to be beautiful?
Big deal, choose more beautiful concubines for my son in the future!
"My daughter-in-law understands, it's just that the Yuan family already knows about the daughter-in-law's return to Beijing, so they should meet up and make an appointment for this marriage." No matter what, Kong Jiayi still felt that she wanted to see Miss Yuan's family with her own eyes. , don't worry.
Jiang nodded, "It's natural."
After waiting for a few days, the Jiang family invited the female family members of the Yuan family on the pretext of admiring the chrysanthemums!Of course, in order not to be so obvious, the Jiang family also invited several female relatives who had made good friends with them.
Kong Jiayi soon saw her future daughter-in-law. She was wearing a crimson dress with a coral hairpin on her head, and an apricot-yellow ermine vest. The light gray fur was more prominent. The silver basin, the almond eyes are full of spring.
As far as appearance alone is concerned, Miss Yuan's family can still catch Kong Jiayi's eyes, but marrying a daughter-in-law is not only based on appearance.Although Kong Jiayi had the idea of marrying a vase as a decoration, it was the worst plan. If Lin Ye could marry a good wife, Kong Jiayi would be very happy.
After waiting for the meal, everyone sat down in the flower hall in front of the stage, and the servants brought up the list of plays. Jiang Shi made some concessions and chose one first, and then several wives with high orders chose one each. The remaining people refused to choose, and if they really didn't want to, Jiang didn't force them too much.
Charcoal fires were burning everywhere in the flower hall. Although it was open to the point where there was no air-conditioning, and there were out-of-season flowers and plants, the decoration in the flower hall was actually somewhat springy. In order to make everyone look at it comfortably, couches were set up , one for two, with a thin silk quilt on it, if you feel cold, you can put it on your lap.
Although Kong Jiayi has been released with Lin Haiwai for several years, the noble ladies in the capital are still very familiar with her, there is no way anyone can make her natal family so prominent!The two sides didn't chat for a few words, and Kong Jiayi blended in!
The place to entertain the lady is naturally not here, but Kong Jiayi has her own eyeliner to help her watch, so she didn't show too much anxiety. After attending the banquet flawlessly, Kong Jiayi asked someone to call the eyeliner to ask about the situation .
"Nurse Tang, look, how is he?" Kong Jiayi asked in a low voice while enjoying the service from the little maid with her eyes closed.
It's just such an endless sentence, but Madam Tang knew what Kong Jiayi was talking about, so she quickly replied: "Lao Bi looks pretty good." After speaking, she talked about Miss Yuan's performance today.
Kong Jiayi nodded, "According to Mammy, you are not bad?"
"At least the superficial skills can't be wrong!" Tang Nanny said this directly, but Kong Jiayi understood the meaning of the words.In other words, at least marrying such a daughter-in-law back home, and taking it out as a guest in the future, there will be no problem.
Kong Jiayi's closed eyes opened, her eyes were peaceful, as if good or bad didn't matter to her, "Help me prepare the hairpin!" It's about to be settled!
In fact, even without such a meeting, the marriage between the two will be finalized. After all, no one dares to take the risk of "not giving up the heirs, but ruining the family".
Master Lin Jiang didn't dare, Kong Jiayi didn't dare, even Lin Hai didn't dare!
For this small engagement, Kong Jiayi paid a lot of money. In addition to giving Miss Yuan's engagement token a gilt filigree dot emerald and beaded phoenix hairpin, he also took out a complete set of ruby jewelry: Bingdi lotus flower A pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings, a pair of rings, a pair of phoenix hairpins, a step shaker, and a necklace of twin phoenixes wrapped around branches.
Exactly 10 pieces, perfect and complete, glistening in the sun.
Even the Yuan family, who complained to the Lin family before, shut up when they saw this set of jewelry!There are such high-standard hired people in the capital, and you can count them with your hands. This is why the Lin family values their daughter.
In fact, the Yuan family is still very satisfied with the Lin family.
They are the favored ministers of Emperor Xuande, and they belong to the position of pure ministers in the court. There is no need to worry that they will be snapped by the emperor one day. Their superior family background can also allow their daughters to live a prosperous life.
The reputation in Qingliu is very good, and there are not many relatives in the clan, so there is no need to get involved in clan disputes when the daughter marries.But there are quite a few people of the same clan, and many of them are sitting in some good positions, which is quite impressive.
Here in the capital, there are a few very close relatives, and they are quite good at grasping the trends in the court.
In short, although the Yuan family was actually taken aback when they first heard the news. Damn, their good daughter is about to become their daughter-in-law, and the Yuan family may not be very happy.
But later, after the investigation report of the Lin family came out, there were not so many people who resisted the Yuan family!
Said to be descendants, listening to the scenery, but only the Yuan family knows the bitterness of it, everyone is on guard against them!Even Emperor Xuande, who has the blood of the Yuan family in his body, also guarded against them.
At this time, it is good to have a strong in-law.At least for the Yuan family's current situation, it's not bad!
