Lin Zhixiao's first sentence made his identity clear.
After Mrs. Su was stunned, she couldn't help but secretly praised the second young master Lin's appearance. If Ye Chang hadn't proposed to marry him first, she might not have been able to help but agree to the matter. Now it can only be said that it is a pity.
She looked at Lin Zhixiao and said with a smile on her face, "I heard that the second son of Lin is very good-looking. Although he is far away from Beijing, he is famous in the capital. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. The visitor is a guest. Hurry up and avoid it." Let's salute!"
Lin Zhixiao stood up straight, and said with a smile, "Madam gave me instant praise, I'm ashamed."
Mrs. Su smiled, "Even a woman like me has heard of your reputation, Second Master Lin doesn't need to be humble." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the street, where there were dowry gifts all over the street, and many people heard the sound of suona playing Come to watch the excitement, surrounded by the outside, the door is not a place to talk. She smiled and said, "Second Young Master, please let the mansion speak."
Lin Zhixiao glanced back at the betrothal gift behind him, and waved his hand, and the person in charge followed in to carry the betrothal gift knowingly.
Mrs. Su waved her hand to stop the person carrying the dowry, and shook her head, "Second Young Master is here as a guest, the Su Mansion naturally welcomes it, but this matter of asking for a marriage is a big deal, and it needs to be discussed again, so there is no need to bring in the dowry."
Seeing that Mrs. Su didn't refuse, Lin Zhixiao nodded with a smile, "Listen to Auntie, so I won't carry it in for now."
Mrs. Su saw that he was very courteous, and she had a good impression of him, and invited him into the mansion with a smile.
Su Qing was a little dissatisfied, thinking that it was too easy for her mother to let people in, right? Earlier, he accepted Ye Chang so easily, but now he didn't reject Lin Zhixiao outright, and easily let him into the house. Does she resent that she has only one daughter? Regret not having two more
Seeing that Mrs. Su and Lin Zhixiao had only spoken a few words, Su Fengnuan invited someone into the mansion without even being embarrassed, and she was a little speechless. She was afraid that Lin Zhixiao would find her when he approached, after all, he was also very good at martial arts Gao, immediately got off the roof and entered the dark room in the living room.
Not long after, Mrs. Su invited Lin Zhixiao into the living room.
The maid serves tea, and Lin Zhixiao takes his seat.
Only then did Mrs. Su ask, "Second Master Lin knows the young girl?"
Lin Zhixiao nodded, and said truthfully, "I have met twice before, but at that time I didn't know she was Miss Su's family. I liked her very much. Later, I searched for her all over the world, but I couldn't find her. Only recently did I find out that she was Miss Su's family. Don't blame me for asking my aunt to think of me as an infatuation."
This is very complete, and his sincerity is very pious.
Mrs. Su thought that these words were the same as what Su Fengnuan said, so it can be seen that Lin Zhixiao did not say a single word of falsehood. She nodded with a smile, and asked again, "How did Second Master Lin know that she is Miss Su's Mansion? Have you seen her again recently?"
Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "I've never seen it before. But in the whole world, the person who can kill Concubine Yue within ten strokes is also surnamed Su. I guess she must be Miss Su. I know and have seen her martial arts before." .”
Mrs. Su laughed when she heard the words, "Second Young Master, I'm afraid there may be errors based on guesswork. Concubine Yue was killed by Nuan'er's ten strokes after a fierce fight with the imperial guards in the palace earlier. How can there be such a great ability? This reputation is spread, it is nothing more than being taken advantage of by her. She is just a wild girl, she just knows how to fight."
Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "Auntie's words are too modest, I'm sure, she is the girl I'm looking for." After a pause, he said, "Can Auntie allow her to come out and meet me?"
Mrs. Su smiled and shook her head, "Although this girl has been used to Xiaoye since she was a child, the capital is different from the capital. In the capital, she still has to abide by many rules. Otherwise, it is not a good thing to spread the word. The second son wants to see her. I'm afraid it's not very good."
Lin Zhixiao smiled, "Having elders around doesn't count as giving or receiving privately. Auntie, please remember my sincerity, and I hope it will be convenient."
When Madam Su saw that he was talking about this, she had no reason to shirk for a moment.
The national style of Southern Qi is open, men and women are not so defensive, and the elders are there, so it is naturally not considered a private relationship, and it can be seen. Even if the elders are not around, unmarried men and women can see each other, as long as they don't do anything excessive, it doesn't hurt. But if he wants to see her, today is considered a blind date in disguise, how can it be spread out? Especially Ye Chang is estimated to be able to jump.
She had a headache for a while, and finally understood why Su Fengnuan had called her in advance to get her ready. This Second Young Master Lin is really smart and hard to dismiss.
Su Qing spoke at this moment, "Brother Lin, my younger sister is not in this mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to see her today."
"Oh? It's so early in the morning, did she go out?" Lin Zhixiao naturally didn't believe it.
Su Qing shook her head and snorted, "Why go out? She didn't come back at all last night, she stayed at my grandfather's house."
"Wang Dashi's residence?" Lin Zhixiao was startled.
Su Qing nodded, "Exactly."
Lin Zhixiao looked at Su Qing, saw that his face was open, and he didn't seem to be lying, so he said, "It seems that the residence of the University of the Su family is only two streets away. I wonder if it is convenient to send someone to invite Miss Su back to the residence?"
Su Qing heard the words, "It's okay to send someone, but my sister's temperament is too loose. After she hears about it, whether she is willing to come back or not is up to you."
Lin Zhixiao smiled, "In that case, the third brother Laosu should send someone to invite him."
Su Qing glanced at Mrs. Su, nodded cheerfully, waved for the housekeeper, and ordered, "Send someone to the palace to invite the little girl back, and said that the second son of the Lin family has come to propose and wants to see her."
The housekeeper glanced at Lin Zhixiao, and hurriedly responded.
Su Qing sat down and smiled at Lin Zhixiao, "Second Young Master said he only met my sister twice, how much do you know about her?"
Lin Zhixiao smiled, "Although I have only met her twice, I have had more than two encounters in the past. I know her well, not to say ten percent, but seven or eight percent."
Su Qing raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "So, you agree with the evaluation that she is a jerk?"
Lin Zhixiao said with a smile, "I do somewhat agree."
Su Qing immediately looked at Lin Zhixiao with admiration when he heard the words, he dared to be in the Su residence, dared to speak on the day of asking for marriage, and dared to admit that Su Fengnuan was an asshole, I have to say that he is not ordinary.
Su Fengnuan heard the words in the inner room, looked at the ceiling of the inner room and rolled his eyes several times. This Lin Zhixiao!
But she did do a lot of stupid things to the Lin family in the past, not just one thing, what he said was the truth.
Mrs. Su also laughed when she heard the words, "Marriage is not a child's play. Does my father know about the Second Young Master Lin's visit to the Su residence?"
Lin Zhixiao nodded, "My father knows."
"Oh?" Mrs. Su said with a smile, "Although the Lin family is established in the rivers and lakes, they have never separated from the capital. Marriage has always been the order of the parents. According to the matchmaker, is it impolite for the second son to propose marriage alone? My father Now that you know about it, but you haven’t come, you probably don’t agree with your actions.”
Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "My father traveled to Beijing for several days, caught the wind and cold, and was not feeling well. When I told my father, the person my father pitied me for years was actually Miss Su Fu. I was overjoyed. I wanted to come here in person, but I was afraid because of his health. The happy event was ruined. I said that I would come to see you another day after my health recovered."
"I see." Mrs. Su nodded with a smile, "I met Patriarch Lin once in the past, but I haven't seen him for many years now."
Lin Zhixiao said, "My father will stay in Beijing for a while this time. When he is in better health, Madam will see you soon."
Mrs. Su nodded with a smile, and asked Lin Zhixiao some other words. Lin Zhixiao answered all the questions, and was very polite and polite. For a while, the two talked very kindly.
Su Qing sat on the side, thinking about what would come back from her grandfather, and also thinking about the matter of the Second Young Master Lin's visit to propose marriage. It is estimated that it has spread all over the capital by now, and Prince Rong An's mansion should have already got the news. I don't know if Ye Chang will vomit blood in anger
Thinking of this, he suddenly became more excited. Ye Chang deliberately poisoned him and ate his precious thousand-year-old snow lotus. Now he is sick in bed. Someone robbed him of the love flower he planted.
Half an hour later, the steward came to report, "Madam, third son, the slave went to the palace in person, but did not see the young lady, but met Mr. Wang. The lord said that the young lady's troubles a while ago were really out of character. It's a shame to lose the face of the Su Mansion and the Wang Mansion, she was already punished to copy the book behind closed doors yesterday, when will the copy be completed, and when will the ban be lifted and she will be released back to the manor."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su immediately asked, "Didn't you mention to your father about the marriage proposal of the second son of the Lin family?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "I mentioned it, Mr. Wang said that the emperor and the queen mother had wanted to marry the young lady earlier, because the candidate was uncertain and the dispute could not be settled, and because our general did not return after fighting at the border, the marriage has not been granted until now." After a pause, he continued, "My lord said again, if the Second Young Master Lin came to ask for marriage, if he was sincere, he would also go to the Emperor and the Queen Mother to have a look. Maybe the Emperor and the Queen Mother changed their minds, and they would choose the Second Young Master Lin. Maybe. In short, without the royal decree and the general's approval, the lady's marriage will not be settled. Madam's words don't count, adults' words don't count, and miss's nodding doesn't count."
Mrs. Su made up her mind when she heard the words, and nodded, "Yes, father is right."
Su Qing thought to himself, grandpa is really an old fox, with just a few words, he pushed Lin Zhixiao in front of the emperor and queen mother. Picked it out.
Su Fengnuan was also thinking in the dark room, no wonder grandpa didn't do anything serious yesterday, as expected, sending someone away in front of him was just a matter of a few words, as expected of an old fox, especially for pushing Lin Zhixiao to the emperor and Queen Mother. This reason is really high-sounding.
Lin Zhixiao listened, and smiled, "I also heard earlier that the queen mother and the emperor were going to marry Miss Su, but at that time I didn't know that Miss Su was the woman I liked. Now that Mr. Wang said so, it is true that the emperor and the emperor can't get past her." Empress Dowager to go." After saying that, he bowed to Mrs. Su, "Today I will invite you to enter the palace and go to the Emperor and Empress Dowager to beg."
