Chapter 33: Novak

"Isn't that Master Xuanku said that you will meet a godsend marriage on the double tenth birthday?" Yun An thought: This godsend marriage should be Li Yuan, but Li Yuan doesn't seem to want this marriage. , And grabbed his top bag at the last minute. +++The latest Danmei novel ranking: EbookFREE.me
Feudal superstitions believe in these things, just listen to them.
Although Yun'an also felt that the Master Xuanku had some abilities, in this era, the so-called metaphysics was for the powerful and powerful, such as the royal family, such as Lin Buxian or Li Yuan.
Lin Buxian replied, "I used to...make a kiss."
"Huh?" Yun An was stunned. Since Lin Buxian was engaged, why did he even make such a show? Is it really possible to regret marriage in such a conservative era?
"you listen to me."
"it is good."
"Lin Mansion has been established since its ancestors a hundred years ago from scratch. As you can see, my father is more than half a hundred years old, and there is no child under his knees, but I am a prostitute. This side branch has been quite criticized. Four years ago on the Yuan Festival. At the time, the elders of the clan suggested to my father that he should choose a man of close blood, high birth, and good conduct from the side branches, and adopt him under my father’s knees and enter the mansion’s top beam. However, my father was on the spot. I refused, and a year later my father summoned his clan and announced that he would hand over the power of Lin Mansion to my hands."
Although Lin Buxian's words are reasonable from the perspective of people in this era, in Yunan's opinion, the relatives of the Lin Mansion branch are really ugly. This huge family business has worked so hard to this day. Why is it cheaper for others? Isn’t it because Master Lin has no children, isn’t it just that he has no sons? How is Lin Buxian worse than the man?
After a pause, Lin did not envy and continued: "I was seventeen years old at that time. It is very rare for a woman at this age to be married. Since my father decided to hand over the family business to me, my marriage was also mentioned. On the agenda, however, the opinions of father and mother on this matter were different. My mother felt that we should recruit a son-in-law to join the house. My father insisted on letting me marry, but he asked my child to have a boy with the mother’s surname. Family business."
"I think in your situation, Lin...well, mother's proposal is better."
"It's not that simple." Lin Buxian's expression was still faint, but there was a wave of weakness and emotion. She continued: "At that time, I was in charge of the family business for the first time. I didn’t know what to do. I was so busy and exhausted every day that I couldn’t finish things. I didn’t have much energy to think about this issue. But then my father told me that he didn’t want me He is not cruel to marry. My mother’s thoughts are only women’s opinions. Although she is wholeheartedly thinking about me, she did not think about what might happen in the future. My father said, as long as everyone has fame and is of noble origin. If the Lin Mansion really wants to recruit a son-in-law, it is very likely that he can only recruit a son of a merchant. Their two elders are old, and they are destined to be unable to protect me for the whole life. If I have not given birth to an heir, or Before my children grew up, they left their hands and went away. The Lin Mansion’s huge family business would be coveted by many people. At that time, with such a superfluous son-in-law, they would be unable to compete with those people. But My marriage situation is different. With the generous dowry of the Lin Mansion, I can at least marry a small gentry as a regular wife. After marriage, my father can slowly transfer the connections of the Lin family to my husband. After a while, my husband thinks it’s not difficult for my husband to make progress in the imperial court. When the time comes, I will naturally not dare to pay attention to the Lin Mansion, so my father and mother can rest assured.
Yun'an frowned, trying to understand Lin Buxian's words, and asked, "Since your father has even handed over his family business to you, why not hand over his contacts to you? Relying on others to protect is not a way to protect yourself. I am the safest."
"The contacts in my father's hands are mostly court or local officials. These people... it is not convenient to meet as a woman, and it is even more difficult to make friends. How can the court commanders bother to work with women with foreign surnames?"
Yun An sneered. These officials are really interesting. While taking advantage of others grandiosely, they also dislike one and the other, which is really a malignant tumor.
"Later, through a referral from a master who taught me, I met a man named Zhong Xiaoting. He was my fellow brother, a native of Los Angeles, and he came from a poor family. I pity him for his talents but can’t make up for the travel expenses. In the scientific research, he soon won the identity of a juror, and returned to Los Angeles with a gift to pay his respects. When his father saw him as a talent, his family was innocent, and now he has a reputation, he gave birth to the idea of ​​marrying me to him. This is the son-in-law candidate that my father has been looking for. My father thinks: Zhong Xiaoting has no background and is more...controllable. He is more grateful from a poor family background, and Lin Mansion helps him keep pace. He will not be too bad for me in the future. After my father talked with him, he also agreed. In the future, I and his second son will follow his mother (sexually) and inherit the family business of Lin Mansion. So far, I have no reason to object."
"What happened later? Where did Zhong Xiaoting go?"
"He lived up to the expectations and was appointed by the sage as Tanhua Lang during the palace examination. At the Qionglin Banquet, he pointed him to the daughter of Shangshufu."
"How can this work? Don't you ask if you have an engaged partner before marriage? Have you gotten married yet?"
Lin Buxian looked at Yun'an calmly and smiled.
Yunan understands, this Zhong Xiaoting is a Yan Guo version of Chen Shimei!
"So, you announced your marriage in a fit of anger? Me, it's just Kay... as a fig leaf?"
Lin Buxian sighed lightly and replied: "It was his father who received reliable news that after Zhong Xiaoting married a lady from Shang Shufu, he wanted to take me as a concubine while he returned to his hometown to worship the ancestor."
Hearing Lin Buxian's words, Yun An couldn't sit still, and had never seen such a brazen person! Although Yun'an was not from the Department of Chinese Studies, he still understands what a concubine status is. You can see the "Story of the Stone". Aunt Zhao in it, but a favored maid doesn't put her in the eyes, the child born by herself. You can only call her aunt.
"This Zhong Xiaoting is too shameless? If he didn't have you, he might be farming at home now. It's just not grateful, and want to delay your life? Is there such a reward? Who does he think he is? My God... Don’t be afraid, you’re already married to me now. Although we are a married couple, I will definitely not let him succeed. I’d like to see how big his face is. If he doesn’t show up, it’s fine. , If he dares to mention this, I’m sure to beat him up because he can’t take care of himself, what? The sages and sages have been read in the belly of the dog? Anyway, you are married now and he is out of play." Yun An Angrily said.
Before five seconds after he finished speaking, Yun An sat down with his chin in his hands and asked, "You have no feelings for him?" Yun An felt that what he said just now was based on Lin Buxian's treatment of Zhong Xiao. Under the precondition that Ting has no emotional foundation, if the two are in agreement, he will not be nosy. However, Yun An felt that it should not be enough. Although she did not know Lin Buxian very well, she should be an arrogant woman, and she would definitely not be so succumbed to a little emotion.
Yun'an was kind, but Lin Buxian's face (color) changed after listening. Staring at Yun'an with a shameful look, his white face flushed red, and asked: "Am I in your heart, is this a woman who doesn't obey the woman's way?"
Yun'an exclaimed, "Where and where? When did I say that you don't guard women's way?!"
"Yun'an! Although you and I are just a couple of names, I want to tell you that I am absolutely selfless with Zhong Xiaoting. I have met him three times, but every time there are elders present, and I have never taken it off. Over the veil, I..."
Seeing Miss Lin Si's eyes were red, all Yun'an's arguable thoughts immediately disappeared. Lin Buxian looked at Yun'an with resentment and angrily, with an expression of shame and anger.
Yun An was stunned, feeling as if his heart was chiselled by something. The strength was not heavy, but the stamina was very long.
It was because Yun An saw that a full teardrop overflowed Miss Lin Si's eye sockets, just across the tiny mole of cinnabar (color), and quickly slid down the smooth face to near the chin, dripping.
Yun'an's (body shen) body shook, she instinctively made the idea of ​​hugging and comforting, and forcibly stopped her behavior with reason. She wanted to say something, but she felt like a throat, and her heart was sore and uncomfortable.
I just thought about it today: Will a woman like Lin Buxian cry? The result became the instigator.
Is mutual affection between men and women, women and women still called in modern times? But in Lin Buxian's eyes, it turned out that unmarried men and women had sex.
What should I do? Such Lin Buxian, after she leaves, even if Shou Gongsha is intact, does she really have the courage to find true love? In her life... can she really be as happy as she thought?
It turned out...I didn't find short-sightedness because I found a woman to join the family, I had used up all Lin Buxian's courage to resist the "time".
It is distressed, shocking, incomprehensible, and I also think that maybe this is the epitome of all women (sexual xing) in this era.
Yun An lowered her head. At this time, she didn't even dare to pull the corner of Lin Buxian's clothes. Her "intensity" was so inviolable.
"Sorry, can you listen to my explanation?" Yun'an's voice was dull, with a little grievance.
Lin Buxian tried to maintain her demeanor and politeness even though she was trembling with anger, and pretending to be calm and replied, "You said."
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean that. I don't know how to explain to you so that you can understand. I assure you that I am absolutely not malicious towards you, let alone humiliating you at all. I, I just ...... You just assume that I don’t understand ethics, talk nonsense, don’t cry, okay?"
After a long silence, Lin Buxian let out a shallow breath and replied, "I believe you."
Yun An poured a glass of water for Lin Buxian, and the two were seated again. Lin Buxian sorted out his thoughts and told Yun An the hidden feelings behind his impulse.
Since the bell rang, the two have been talking in the study for more than an hour.
Yun'an also knew that the current situation in Lin Mansion was not as glamorous as it seemed.
Zhong Xiaoting’s Shangshu father-in-law is the noble concubine’s relatives, and he is the humerus that the sage relies very heavily on today. However, there are no relatives in the dynasty for generations of merchants in the Lin Mansion. Faced with such a huge power as Shangshu Mansion, those so-called connections have How much effort can you do?
Moreover, the side branch of the Lin Mansion also looked at this family business. Today, the Lin Mansion is coveted by foreign ministers and clan coveted. All these crises fell on Miss Lin Si alone.
Seeing Yun An's silence, Miss Lin Si clenched her fist secretly and said, "A couple of names, you might be worthy of gold."
Yun An looked at Lin Buxian, she saw Lin Buxian’s pretentious calmness, and also saw her sadness and helplessness. In fact, she didn’t speak just now, not thinking about the law of the body, but thinking Lin Mansion's situation and what he can do with his current self.
"Deal!" Yun'an readily agreed, with a trace of warmth across his eyes. Perhaps Lin Buxian would really feel relieved only if there was a concern in his interests.
"Don't worry, I won't leave until the crisis in Lin Mansion is over, but...I still have two years at most. I have to go when the time is up, is that enough?"
"enough."
"Well, I will do my best to protect you."
Lin Buxian smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, you ask your Sancong brother to go to King Ning today. He won't talk nonsense or hurt you with bad words?"
"Don't worry about this. Although the division is always thinking about replacing it, the Foreign Forest Mansion will always be one. If the clan suffers, no division can retreat. There is no doubt about this, and he will not make any disadvantages. Lin Mansion matter."
"That's good, then I can rest assured. If my business causes you trouble, I..."
"No, I have my own measures."
"Yixi?"
"Ok?"
"Have you... ever thought about the future life?"
"No."
"Then have you ever thought of a different life?"
"What's the difference?" Lin Buxian asked.
"...No, nothing."
