But if this is really the case, it would be a good thing. Shen Chen is no pushover anyway. If these two fight, no one knows who will win.
If Shen Chen wins, Young Master Lin will still not be able to find a wife. If Young Master Lin wins, can Shen Chen let go of this enemy who snatched food from the tiger's mouth? In the end, Young Master Lin will also be in trouble.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished that this was true and asked Lin Sanshao, "Who are you proposing to?!"
"The Mei family." Young Master Lin spoke briefly and to the point, without even changing his expression, as if he could not see the expression on Lady Qinghe's face, as if she had swallowed a fly.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe was indeed so shocked that she couldn't recover. After a long while, she exclaimed: "What are you talking about?! How can there be a girl in the Mei family who can marry you?!"
Mei Hanlin was a well-known person of integrity. He devoted himself to learning. It was said that his first daughter was married to a man in Xizhou, which was far away. He would never marry someone of noble descent or nobility.
She reacted, showing a mocking smile, looking down at Lin Sanshao: "I know... you have always been arrogant, always thinking that those families I found for you are deliberately humiliating you, but you have to know that your identity... even if you have a sister who is a concubine, you are a concubine, and a concubine is a concubine after all." She carefully observed Lin Sanshao's expression, with a little bit of pleasure in venting her anger in her fear: "Even if you are powerful and can suppress those who covet wealth, there are some clean officials in the court who don't buy into this... Mei family? I've heard that their family has always valued rules."
This was not wrong. When she went to socialize with Mrs. Mei, she was often turned away. It was simply because of her reputation for being unvirtuous.
How could Mrs. Mei, who can't tolerate any sand in her eyes, let her daughter marry a Jinyiwei? I don't know how much blood is on his hands. This is what the civil servants hate the most.
Young Master Lin's eyes became increasingly cold, until the wife of the Earl of Qinghe could not help but lower her head, then he stood up and said, "Madam, please do not worry about these. Madam, you only need to ask for marriage for me, and then perform the six rituals after getting the marriage certificate."
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe was a little stunned, and then her heart began to beat fast. It sounded like what this boy said was true. Could it be that Mei Hanlin really agreed to marry his daughter to him? But that wouldn't happen? What was the status of Mei Hanlin's family
They have always prided themselves on being noble, so how could they marry their daughter to the commander of the Imperial Guard and let others accuse them of trying to curry favor with someone else? !
She coughed: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Young Master Lin had a blank expression on his face. He turned around and looked at the wife of the Earl of Qinghe with a half-smile. "I'll have to trouble you to come forward for this matter. I don't want to be impolite. Do you understand what I mean? If my marriage doesn't go smoothly this time, it doesn't matter. The marriages of the people in the Lin family will not go smoothly in the future."
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe was so angry that she was shaking. This rebellious son! He was threatening her! He knew she would not want this marriage to be successful.
Compared with the Wei family, the Mei family is even more difficult to deal with. They are imperial censors, but they are not ordinary imperial censors. Their whole family is famous for their loyalty and bravery. If she becomes a relative of such a person, she will have to consider her own weight before torturing her daughter-in-law in the future. Is she worthy of the attention of Lord Mei? ...
She almost suspected that this was a marriage arranged by Third Master Lin to avenge her. Otherwise, how could he suddenly give up Wei An and get married in such a short period of time!
But no matter how unwilling she was, she had more initiative than him now. She gritted her teeth, endured the toothache and said, "Got it!"
Young Master Lin was very pleased with her tactfulness. He stood up, bowed slightly, and immediately went out.
He was going to Phoenix Terrace to meet Shen Chen.
Shen Chen was still calm and composed. Seeing him coming, he couldn't help but sighed: "Look at this little boy. Is he so impatient for the fourth daughter of the Mei family?"
Young Master Lin frowned and gave him a cold look.
Shen Chen coughed and lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm just asking a question, but the fourth daughter of the Mei family is really a beauty, no wonder you care so much about her..."
Third Young Master Lin put the cup heavily on the table, and suddenly a brilliant smile broke out on his cold face. He called out to Shen Chen: "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this matter?!"
Some time ago, when he went to the suburbs to do some business, it happened to rain heavily, so he took shelter in a farm. Who could have known that something happened in the farm. Some farmers were dissatisfied with the land rent and made trouble in front of the farm. There was only a young lady in the farm at that time. He originally did not intend to intervene, but who knew that the girl was quite strange. Faced with so many troublemakers, she sent people to arrest the most serious troublemakers, and as for the few people who had been cowering and dared not express their opinions, she had them taken away.
Soon, those people she brought in came out again, happily saying that the matter was resolved. The girl said that since they felt that the rent was too little, they might as well do the work for her. She promised to divide each piece of land into a family, and then she would only take one-fifth of the harvest.
This was a huge concession, and it made Lin San Shao a little dazed for a moment. He vaguely remembered that the first time he saw Wei An was also in the manor, when he was ordered to search...
He became interested and mentioned it to Shen Chen when he returned.
Who knew that Shen Chen would act so quickly and soon help him find out that this girl was the fourth daughter of the Mei family. She had been raised in her maternal grandparents' home in Suzhou and was brought back when she grew up. Her favorite thing to do was to tend to flowers and plants. It was said that she also opened a pharmacy. Her pharmacy did not dispense medicine or hire doctors. Instead, it specialized in using various flowers and plants to prepare things for women's care.
Even up to this point, he just felt that this girl was very special, a little like Wei An. Young Master Lin originally thought that the matter was over, but who knew that a few days ago, after Shen Chen was injured, he said he was going to Baoguo Temple and asked him to go with him. On the way, he met this girl again. At that time, the fourth young lady of the Mei family was being troubled by a playboy of the Xu family. He saw the injustice and originally wanted to help. But who knew that the fourth young lady of the Mei family waved her hand and sprinkled some kind of medicine powder, and the playboy fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
He just fell for Shen Chen's trick... (To be continued)
