Chapter 36: Iceman Arrives

Chapter 36 Iceman Comes to the Door

“Big brother is back.” Lin Hao said hello and put the grass in Lin Xiaohua’s mouth.

Cheng Shu came over and rubbed Lin Xiaohua’s head: “Ah, I saw Wen Ping, the steward at the door of the house, and he said you had something to do with him.”

Master Lin paused and quickly responded, “Well, I’m looking for him for something.”

Cheng Shu was a little anxious: “Wen Ping can be a steward for so many years, and he can turn a blow to his master. It’s not easy. You should be careful when dealing with him.”

Lin Hao smiled: “Don’t worry, big brother, he is not even as good as ordinary people now, and I am the second girl Lin, where can I suffer?”

Cheng Shu was dazzled by the girl’s smile, and thought to himself, Ah Hao, so he can talk like that.

Thinking about Ah Hao’s speechless words for so many years, his pity suddenly increased: “Ahaha, big brother will accompany you to see him.”

“I don’t need big brother to accompany me. I didn’t plan to see him at all.” Lin Hao shouted Baozhu, “Go and see him.”

Baozhu understood, put the bamboo fan on the small table and put it into the house. After a while, he came out of the house and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Cheng Shu couldn’t hide his curiosity: “Ah, what are you looking for with Wen Ping?”

“Oh, I just thank him for speaking with conscience and not giving perjury that day.” Lin Hao wrote lightly.

Xu Shi couldn’t wait for the master to feed the grass, so Lin Xiaohua rubbed Lin Hao’s hand with her mouth to express her dissatisfaction.

Cheng Shu picked up the bamboo fan on the small table and fanned Lin Xiaohua a few times: “I don’t believe Wen Ping has a conscience, he has been your father’s confidant for more than 20 years. —”

Realizing that it was inappropriate to say this in front of Lin Hao, Cheng Shu shut up.

Lin Hao smiled disapprovingly: “Brother said this right, it is true that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. But no matter what the inside story is, the result of Wen Ping’s actions is beneficial to us. Let me express it appropriately. Have a good relationship.”

Cheng Shu sighed: “Ah Hao is really kind.”

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and Baozhu came back.

“Are you gone?” Lin Hao asked.

“left already.”

Cheng Shu shoved the bamboo fan into Baozhu’s hand: “Since it’s gone, it’s all right. Ahao, you can continue feeding the donkey. I’ll go to the old lady.”

“Brother, walk slowly.”

Lin Xiaohua bared her teeth and called out to Cheng Shu’s back.

Cheng Shu stopped at his feet and turned around: “Is this donkey reluctant to part with me?”

Lin Xiaohua shouted louder immediately.

Lin Hao smiled: “It should be called a donkey by the angry big brother.”

Cheng Shu twitched the corner of his mouth and walked away quickly.

Lin Hao clapped the grass clippings on his hands and stood up: “Go back to the house.”

Wen Ping came to ask for money in advance, she expected.

It’s not hard to guess what he’s thinking, he’s just worried that she’ll regret it later and not give the money.

She has no plans to go back. One is that there is no need to increase the trouble, and the other is that the lives of Wen Ping and his son will not be saved because she gave these five hundred taels.

There is a son of a bad gambler, and the father who fills the hole loses the seat of the money, how can the ending be better?

In short, for Lin Hao, everything related to the Wen family can come to an end.

In the capital, there is always something fresher and more interesting. The matter of Wen Rugui and the Lin family was discussed for a while, and it was replaced by the triennial spring festival.

Apricot list, everyone in the capital knows that there is an amazing and brilliant Hui Yuanlang.

The leader of the    examination is called Huiyuan. It is said that Yang Zhe, the Yuan Lang of the Xinkehui, is not yet twenty years old, and even more perfect is that he has not yet married.

For a time, countless wealthy people were eager to move, just waiting for the matchmaker to step over the threshold of the Yang family after the palace test.

Oh, Hui Yuanlang is a foreigner?

It doesn’t matter, no matter how badly you play in the court exam, you can still be the third overall. Once you enter the Hanlin Academy, you will stay in the capital.

Hui Yuanlang was born in poverty?

It doesn’t matter anymore, what many people lack is not money, but people who can step into official careers. The son is dull and hopeless, and it is good to have such a son-in-law.

In a short period of time, the discussions and warnings caused by Wen Rugui and Lin seemed to vanish.

The General’s Mansion didn’t care what kind of genius happened in the spring, Lin’s heart was secretly happy at the ice man who came to the door.

“Mrs. Hou said, if the madam is worried, you can see the prince first.”

Lin was very satisfied with Iceman’s attitude, and said modestly: “Getting married is not a trivial matter, you must discuss it with your mother.”

Iceman raised his hand to support the flowers on the sideburns, not surprised by this result.

There is no doubt that it is the old lady who can make the decision of the general’s house, not the Lin family who has just been righteous with her husband. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the old lady’s face today.

But she is confident in making this marriage happen.

The man is the prince of Pingjiahou’s mansion, and he is more than enough for the eldest girl of the General’s mansion without General Lin.

As long as the Lin family is not stupid, it is impossible to push such a good marriage to the outside world.

“Then wait for the good news from your house.”

As soon as the iceman left, the old lady came out of the compartment.

Lin’s brows were overjoyed: “Mother—”

The old lady gave her a scornful look: “Be steady, it’s not that Chan’er can’t get married.”

Lin helped the old lady to sit down and explained with a smile: “It’s not that I am very satisfied with the Pingjiahou Mansion, it’s just that someone came to ask, and I’m in a good mood.”

She thought that her two daughters were implicated by her, and the marriage would suffer some setbacks. Now that she saw someone from a very good family coming to ask for marriage, she was finally relieved.

“You, you are always confused about this kind of thing. If our family is not picky, Chan’er and Ah Hao would be better off marrying.”

Different from guessing that she and the old man would have stepchildren in the future more than 20 years ago, now it is clear that the Lin family consists of Chan’er and Ah Hao. Whoever takes a granddaughter is like taking a golden mountain.

In the face of Jinshan, there will be many people who are tempted.

“Then what do you think of Pingjiahou Mansion? The Iceman said, you can see his little man first.”

“Pingjiahou Mansion—” the old lady pondered, “I remember that his family has an only son.”

Since Emperor Tai’an came to the throne, the old lady has rarely dealt with the ladies of various families, so she doesn’t know much about the descendants of the Pingjiahou Mansion.

Lin pursed his lips and smiled: “The population is relatively simple.”

It’s easier to be a daughter-in-law, and she still knows the truth.

“It seems that you are quite satisfied.” The old lady also smiled, “Then let’s see what Pingjiahou Shizi looks like.”

The two were talking when Lin Hao came in.

“Grandmother and mother are so happy, what are you talking about?”

Lin Shi and the old lady looked at each other and said in unison, “Nothing to say.”

Lin Hao sat next to the old lady, and took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the beauty and beat the old lady’s leg gently: “I heard that an ice man came to the door, is it here to kiss the eldest sister?”

She didn’t hear about it, but saw it when she was about to go out.

Now that she has left the wolf’s den of the Wen family, she is unavoidably concerned about her sister’s life-long affairs.

The old lady smiled: “You girl, you are well-informed.”

Lin was amused and asked, “Which is the one who came to propose marriage?”

Lin said with a smile: “It’s the Pingjiahou Mansion.”

Lin listened well and smiled.
