Chapter 120 Aunt Tian's Request
Facing Liu Lanqi's gaze, Lin smiled faintly.
"Madam, the master has already explained the pros and cons of these three people and their future development. It's up to my second brother and his wife and Jia Jie'er to decide what to choose."
"How to say?"
Facing Tian's puzzled look, Lin smiled and said, "Old Madam, first of all, he is an orthodox scholar and the Minister of Rites. His future is limitless. The only shortcoming is that he is twelve years older than Jia Jie'er. He already has a legitimate son and a concubine's son at home, as well as several concubines.
Second, the appearance of a military officer is not important. At the same time, it is easier for a military officer to be promoted than a civil official. This person has no elders in his family, so the couple can live a casual life. Life is easy and comfortable. Jia Jie'er may even become a general's wife in the future.
The third one has a permanent family property, and will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. The young couple can live an easy life. The only drawback is that this person has not passed the imperial examination, and his future is uncertain. Even if he can become an official through the recommendation of the master, he may never have the opportunity to return to Beijing in his life. "
At this point, Lin looked at Liu Lanqi who was sitting beside him, not saying a word but looking at him nervously.
With a slight smile, he continued, "Madam, these three people have their pros and cons. They are indeed good choices for Jia Jieer. It just depends on how she chooses."
After saying that, Lin picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip slowly.
The weather has been bad recently and tea is selling like hot cakes outside. Fortunately, her daughter asked someone to remind her to keep the tea away from moisture, and she also stored the tea in the house early in the morning, so she didn't waste money to buy that extremely expensive tea.
A daughter is considerate, and she only needs to take care of her three children. As for others, she doesn't care about their life or death.
After listening to Lin's analysis, Tian fell into deep thought. Liu Lanqi took the opportunity to take Lin away with a salute.
Leaving Tian's yard and walking in the deserted garden pavilion, Liu Lanqi let go of Lin's hand and said sternly, "Lin, you'd better be honest and don't ruin my good deeds."
"Master, what you said, just now at the old lady's place, I didn't intend to say a word, but it was because the old lady asked that I had to express my opinion."
Liu Lanqi also knew that what Lin said was as good as nothing, but...
"Master, don't worry. I have my own children to take care of. I won't object to whoever Jiajie wants to marry."
"Better so."
Liu Lanqi was about to leave when she finished speaking. Lin smiled and said, "Master, why don't you tell me the truth about who you want Jiajie to marry? Then I can help you..."
Liu Lanqi knew better than anyone what methods the Lin family had. If she really wanted to help, this matter would naturally be accomplished faster, but he could see that she didn't really want to help.
Before Liu Lanqi could speak, Lin said indifferently, "If the master doesn't want to talk, forget it."
After saying that, Lin turned and left.
Looking at Lin's leaving back, Liu Lanqi sighed.
He knew that the incident with Liu Tian'er had hurt the original wife's heart, but Tian'er was his biological daughter and had already had a relationship with Marquis Zhongyong. In the end, the matter was discovered by the Chang family.
Liu Tian'ai had no other choice but to marry that bastard Gu Jinyun.
At the same time, with the Queen Mother pushing him from behind, he was forced to agree to the marriage.
Now his sister is in the Marquis's mansion and he doesn't know how she will be treated. As a father, he can't bear to let her go...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Liu Lanqi punched the pillar beside him.
Lin didn't care whether Liu Lanqi was angry or not. After leaving the pavilion, she was about to return to her own yard. However, she didn't expect to meet Aunt Tian who was walking towards her with two little maids on the way.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road. Lin turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Aunt Tian blocked her way.
"Madam, you are in a good mood. Would you like to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers?"
"I'm not in such a good mood as Auntie Tian, coming to the garden to enjoy the flowers on a rainy day."
After Lin finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Aunt Tian blocked her way again.
"Madam, I heard that Madam Xu's birthday party will be held in a few days. Can you take Miss Five out to see the world?"
Madam Xu is the mother of the Left Prime Minister and the current Concubine Xu. Ordinary people are not qualified to attend her birthday banquet, and the Liu family's current status and position can only barely qualify.
The fifth young lady that Aunt Tian mentioned is the fifth young lady of the Liu family, and her second daughter, Liu Tianshan, who is fifteen years old this year.
There were two unmarried sisters in the family. Even though she was fifteen years old, she still had no engagement.
Although Liu Tianjia has not married yet, Liu Tian'ai is already married, and her marriage should be put on the agenda.
The more of these illegitimate girls who get married off, the better. Lin doesn't mind bringing one more person to the party, but the fifth young lady is not one who will keep to herself.
It was impossible for her to watch the entire banquet like the Xu family's. If something happened to her at the banquet, she would definitely be in trouble when she returned.
She would not take on such a thankless task. Of course, it would be a different matter if the old lady and the others agreed.
At the same time, looking at Liu Lanqi's plan for Liu Tianjia's marriage, he absolutely would not believe that he had no thoughts about his illegitimate children.
The birthday party of the old lady of the Xu family is indeed a good opportunity to show up. She is not sure whether it is in Liu Lanqi's calculation, and she doesn't want to do something bad with good intentions.
"Auntie Tian, please ask the old lady or the master to come and talk to me about this matter. As long as the old lady and the master agree, I will bring the fifth young lady to the Xu family banquet in half a month."
When Aunt Tian heard Lin’s refusal, her eyes flickered.
"Madam, the upbringing of the children in the mansion is yours. As long as you agree, bringing the fifth young lady to attend the Xu family's old lady's birthday banquet, how could the master and the old lady object?"
Although Aunt Tian quickly returned to normal, Mrs. Lin did not miss it. There was a flash of worry in her eyes.
That's right, Aunt Tian has never liked her. If there is something, she will go to Tian or Liu Lanqi first. Now she comes to her to talk about this matter, probably because she can't make it through in front of those two people.
Liu Lanqi was the most calculating person, so she asked him how could he let his daughter go.
Liu Tianyi is a good example. It’s a pity that the other party did not follow the path he set, which made him so angry.
With Liu Tian'er's previous mistake, Liu Lanqi would never let the fifth young lady go out casually again.
After realizing this, it was even more impossible for Lin to take the fifth young lady out.
"Auntie Tian, the master has made arrangements for the young ladies in the mansion. As women in the harem, we must behave ourselves and not cause trouble for the master."
After Lin finished speaking, she didn't even look at Aunt Tian who had an unhappy expression on her face, and led the little maid towards her own yard.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier. She really shouldn't have wasted so much time, otherwise she would have returned to her yard by now...
