Peng Lingwei pulled Wei An and chattered non-stop, from how great the Fang family's daughter was to how great her own family was. Then she looked at Wei An and sighed innocently, "I really like the princess. It would be great if the princess could stay with me for a long time."
When she said this, Wei An smiled silently.
I never thought that I would hear the word "like" from Peng Lingwei and Madam Peng.
In her previous life, she was hated by these two people. They didn't even want to look at her.
However, when the wife of the Earl of Qinghe heard this, she glanced at Madam Peng and secretly sighed that Madam Peng knew how to heat up the stove.
She looked around, winked at her eldest daughter-in-law, and when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law nodded, she smiled.
Today, the Fang family is marrying off their daughter, and Young Master Lin is also going to come. The Fang family has invited him, and if he doesn't come, won't Concubine Lin in the palace have no chance to gain a foothold in front of Queen Fang? For this reason, he is also going to come.
Since you are coming, it will be easy.
Lady Qinghe Earl waited for a while, and finally heard someone outside say that the eldest lady of the Fang family had arrived. She stood up with a smile on her face, and glanced behind Mrs. Fang. She saw a girl with low brows, pleasant to the eye and a slim figure, and she couldn't help but smile.
After saying the auspicious words, he pretended to have just seen the girl and asked Madam Fang, "Who is this?"
Madam Fang smiled and said, "This is my niece from my mother's family. She is visiting us at home."
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe clicked her tongue twice, pulled the girl close and praised her endlessly, and asked her how old she was, whether she had ever been to school, and so on. Finally, she asked Grandma Lin to take out a jade pendant that she liked, and handed it to the little girl with a smile.
Wei An smiled when he saw it.
The eldest lady of the Fang family is now over 40 years old. When she married into the Fang family, she was considered to have married into a wealthy family. However, at that time, the Fang family had not yet produced Queen Fang, and was still a poor family. This shows how poor the eldest lady Fang's family was.
Over the years, she had given a lot of money and put in a lot of effort, but her parents' family could not get established no matter what. She was so angry about this that she often cried at night - Master Fang was not a worry-free person. He had countless concubines at home, and if you count the illegitimate children, there would be twelve or thirteen!
Men are unreliable, so you have to establish your wife's family before you can feel at ease.
She had to think even more about her natal family. The rest of her natal family was looked down upon by her husband's family, but the little daughter born to her youngest brother, although there was nothing special about her, happened to be born on the same date as her most honorable sister-in-law - her little niece, who was also born in early July.
For this reason, she deliberately said that her little niece was blessed. The nuns in the temple all said that it was her birthday and she could ward off disasters for the nobles. She used this excuse to privately tell Old Lady Fang and Master Fang, and they first promoted her niece and then brought her home after that.
But her family allowed her to bring the child home, but they did not allow her to marry her niece to her son.
She was very upset about this.
Later on, I came up with another idea. If I couldn't marry my own son off, then I could probably marry him to a better family somewhere else, right
At least she married an official, so she wouldn't end up in poverty like her family.
But even though she was a cousin of the Fang family, her surname was not Fang. Which of these well-known ladies in the capital was stupid? They could tell the difference between the fake and the real at a glance, and they didn't buy her story at all.
She was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. She had to send her, who she originally treated as her niece, back home. Unexpectedly, a huge pie dropped from the sky - the wife of the Earl of Qinghe actually wanted to propose marriage!
Even though he is a bastard's son, he is the Third Young Master Lin!
It’s not a big deal that he is Concubine Shu’s younger brother. What’s important is that he is the emperor’s confidant. The emperor trusts this young but ruthless commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard very much.
Marry him, what else is there to say
Madam Fang didn't even have to think about it, as she was afraid that the Lin family would go back on their word. It was not until today when the wife of the Earl of Qinghe sent her this satisfactory jade pendant that she felt relieved and felt very happy.
Today is really a double blessing.
A marriage was arranged in just a few words in the room. Wei An raised his eyebrows, and his eyes hurt from looking at the brilliant smile of the wife of the Earl of Qinghe, so he simply went out for a walk.
Now that Fang Zhengrong is gone, the Fang family's rules are much stricter than before, so there's no need to worry about running into people they shouldn't run into. The little girls all gathered in the garden to play, so she stood alone on the corridor connecting the pavilion overlooking the lake, watching the schools of fish popping up and jumping up to grab food.
There were countless red carps raised in the Fang family's lake. Wei An found it interesting and laughed with his head tilted. The fish that were originally in groups were suddenly scattered by a stone that fell from the sky.
She subconsciously frowned and turned around, but saw Young Master Lin standing with his hands behind his back, still wearing his Feiyu suit, and she could not help but stand there in a daze.
"Why are you standing outside alone?"
She didn't say anything, but Young Master Lin took the initiative to ask questions, which was rare. He even walked a few steps forward and stood side by side with her: "What's so good about this?"
Wei An pondered for a while and smiled softly: "It's so smoky in there, this will make me feel more energetic."
Lin Sanshao said, "What's the matter?"
It was rare for him to talk so much, but even so, Wei An didn't feel that this person was friendly - as soon as he approached, his aura became frighteningly low.
This is a man whose hands are stained with countless blood and who has killed people. He is definitely not the same as ordinary people.
Fortunately, she was not a person with clean hands. She thought about it and told him honestly: "I saw something that was not very upright."
"It seems your stepmother has arranged a marriage for you."
It's easy to imagine that the wife of the Earl of Qinghe, who has her eyes on the top of her head, would never look down on Madam Fang's family. However, if she is arranging a marriage for Young Master Lin, then it makes sense.
She was not eager to match the worst with the Third Young Master Lin. In the past, she even talked about marrying a maid, which had already torn their relationship apart. Now, she could find a girl from a poor family to marry to the Third Young Master Lin.
After she said this, Young Master Lin still didn't raise his eyebrows, with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking about. After a moment, he said "oh" slowly.
This "oh, oh" is very meaningful.
It's fine when he speaks nicely, but when he drawls out his words like this...
Even Wei An, an old veteran, felt his scalp tingling. He suppressed the urge to tremble and turned back to look at him.
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe was really too much of a fuss. She felt in her heart that this lady was really a bit silly.
