Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Xue Lan, you haven't figured it out yet?" Shui Zhenchuan took off his coat and sighed.

Ruan frowned, and asked in displeasure, "How do you tell me to understand? Mother is also satisfied with Brother Lang, why don't you let me directly decide on this marriage? Not only do not allow it, but also deal with it coldly, let This matter is slowly fading away, is my mother a fool when she is a wealthy family in the capital?"

Hearing dissatisfaction with his mother from his wife's tone, Shui Zhenchuan frowned, "I don't blame mother for reprimanding you, no matter how satisfied you are with brother Lang, and how much you want to promise your daughter to Lin Lang, you can't use such a dirty trick Otherwise, not only will they not be able to get married, but they may even become enemies with the Lin family."

His beloved wife has always loved his daughter, Ke Yu, and it is not once or twice that he is stupid about Yu'er, but it is a trivial matter. He and his mother also love Yu'er, so they are open-eyed to his wife's indulgence of their daughter. Close one eye.

Now that his daughter is interested in Lin Lang, and this oolong incident happened again, he is not surprised at all that a wife who loves her daughter will have such a stupid idea.

But no matter how satisfied his wife and daughter are with Lin Lang, he can't let his wife focus on Lin Lang.

Lin Lang's father, Lin Ruhai, has been good friends with him for many years. He has always attached great importance to Lin Ruhai. How can he let his wife count on his friend's hard-won son?

The first branch of the Lin family came to Lin Ruhai's generation. Lin Ruhai was the only seedling, and Lin Ruhai was also very thin at the knees. Thanks to Jia's blessing, Lin Ruhai gave Lin Ruhai another daughter after giving birth to Lin Lang for many years.

Lin Ruhai attaches great importance to this pair of children, and he knows very well that if the concubine forces Lin Lang to marry Yu'er, even if the marriage is completed, the relationship between the two families will be exhausted, and Lin Lang is forced to marry Yu'er. Any ideas?Will Yu'er really be happy when the time comes?

He has lived for so many years, although he can't say that he has seen all kinds of things in the world, but he also knows a lot about the underworld of the rich and powerful. He doesn't want his daughter to be a widow, but she has a husband but has to live alone.

Ruan asked about what her husband said, and immediately said dissatisfied, "What's wrong with our Yu'er? Betrothed to Brother Lang is an enemy? The concubine admits that Brother Lang is a rare talent, but it's not as good as our Yu'er." Are you not worthy of him?"

In fact, Ruan wants to say that Lin Lang is not good enough for her daughter. Her family Yuer is the county lord of the palace. The top three, otherwise she would definitely not be worthy of her daughter. Although Lin Lang has achieved fame, he is only a scholar. To put it bluntly, Lin Lang is not worthy of her daughter.

How could Shui Zhenchuan not understand the person next to him?

In his wife's heart, Yu'er is good at everything, and Shui Zhenchuan didn't think that his daughter was bad. Her daughter was always well-behaved, but she treated Lin Lang differently. It's no wonder that a wife who loves her daughter would think of getting married. Why doesn't he want to marry this family?

But Lin Lang doesn't have Yu'er in his heart, and this marriage is also a pair of resentful spouses, and one of the resentful spouses is his own daughter. How can Shui Zhenchuan let his beloved daughter suffer this kind of suffering?

He is the same person as Lin Ruhai, and he is devoted to his wife. Even if there are one or two concubines in the backyard, they are just decorations. The two children under his knees are all born by the princess.

He didn't want his daughter to marry someone who didn't love her, and he didn't want his daughter to marry someone she didn't love.

But this kind of thinking has always been a dilemma.

"Hey..." Shui Zhenchuan comforted Ruan with his arms around her, "Xuelan, you love Yu'er, so don't I love her? It's because I love her that I can't let you do whatever you want."

"Why do you also say that I am fooling around? Don't you like Brother Lang?" Ruan was furious.

One or two said she was acting nonsense, so why didn't she dare to admit that she also wanted Lin Lang to be her son-in-law?

Shui Zhenchuan smiled wryly, "Xue Lan, do you still remember the two maids my mother gave me before you were pregnant with Mao?"

Ruan's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Look at you, I've never touched them, I just pretend to keep them in the backyard, and you feel uncomfortable when you mention them. Do you love your daughter so much that you want her to marry someone who doesn't love her, and then just watch Does my husband accept the child?" Shui Zhenchuan didn't want to argue with his beloved wife, so he simply tried to correct his wife's concept in another way.

It's not that Yu'er is not good enough for Brother Lang, but Brother Lang has no feelings for Yu'er, and the twisted melon is not sweet.

Shui Zhenchuan sighed in his heart, his wife has been doted on by him all these years.

"I've been watching Brother Lang for a year or two. He's not that kind of person." Ruan shook her head and said, "How could Lin Ruhai raise his son to be a lustful person?"

Shui Zhenchuan: "..." How should he describe his mood at the moment?

He was a little surprised that his wife praised his best friend so highly.

"Xuelan, I have been married to you for more than ten years, and I only guard you, not because you are my wife, but because I have a close relationship with you, and I have a deep relationship with you. They have feelings for each other, but Brother Lang and Yuer are different. Now only Yuer has a heart for Lin Lang, but Brother Lang does not have the same thoughts for Yuer. Even if this marriage can be successful, there will be problems .”

Shui Zhenchuan sighed, fearing that his wife would not understand the meaning of his words, he simply said more directly, "Don't mention it far away, let's talk about Ruhai's elder brother Jia She, Jia Enhou. His original wife Zhang Shi is capable, married to Rongguo Mansion and won the approval of her in-laws, husband, and even her uncle and sister-in-law, and Jia Amnesty threw herself all her heart into her.

Had it not been for Jia Hu's frailty and death due to an illness, Zhang would not have been distraught after giving birth to Jia Lian. Since Zhang's death, Jia She continued to marry Xing, and Xing could not accept Jia She's heart. The concubines in Jia She's house carried them in one by one, and all the maids who served beside her were beautiful and could not escape Jia She's grasp. Do you want your daughter to become the second Xing family? "

Ruan's face changed greatly after her husband's words, she couldn't help but grabbed Shui Zhenchuan's sleeve, and said tearfully, "But, Zhenchuan, you don't know what kind of temperament Yu'er is, she has always been a well-behaved and sensible person. , although I love her dearly, she is never arrogant.

Yu'er is Chunshan, if not for this, she would not have been almost captured by a kidnapper the year before last.If it was possible, why would I be so focused on promoting this marriage?

Yu'er has always been well-behaved, and never takes a second look at outsiders. Only brother Lang, she jumped at the first sight, and the mother's place was full of wives and wives from various families, but Yu'er didn't seem to notice anyone. Here, only Brother Lang can be seen. Have you ever seen Yuer like this?

At the beginning Yu'er was still young, so she didn't have to worry about the defenses of men and women, just a few jokes, and the matter was over. Now that Yu'er is getting older, and everyone accepts the lamp given by Lin Lang, why don't I worry? "

Shui Zhenchuan didn't expect his wife to hide so many things in her heart, but how could he not think of what his wife could think of?

But he is a man, and he understands how stubborn and tenacious a young man of this age is. If he doesn't hit the wall and doesn't look back, the more you force him, the farther he will run away, especially for a smart person like Lin Lang, who is even more difficult to deal with. .

He didn't want to have an enmity with Ru Hai, nor did he want to harm his daughter or his best friend's son.

"Xue Lan, you can't force your feelings. I see that Brother Lang is not an unintentional person. He doesn't have anyone who is attracted to him now. Is it possible that he will have a relationship with Yu'er in the future? Besides, Brother Lang and Maosheng is a friend, and for Maosheng's sake, he won't do too much, I just hope that Brother Lang can see Yu'er's goodness in the future, otherwise...we can only let Yu'er's thoughts go."

"Zhenchuan, I really don't want Yu'er to suffer like this..." Ruan broke down in tears.

Shui Zhenchuan smiled wryly, "Why do I want Yu'er to bear all this, but... hey, just let it be."

This is a mess...

Lin Ruhai came back to the mansion at the beginning of the application, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to call Lin Lang to the study.

"You said that the concubine, the prince, and the concubine didn't mention anything about the lantern delivery?" Lin Ruhai frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Even if he and Shui Zhenchuan are close friends, and it is related to his daughter's innocence, it is impossible for Shui Zhenchuan to suppress this matter in order not to turn against him. Could it be that there is something else that he does not know?

Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment, looked at his anxious son, and smiled, "Are you also uneasy?"

"Father..." Lin Lang was a little ashamed. He said that he would solve it safely, but he really couldn't figure out what the leaders of the palace were doing. Lin Ruhai asked him to come and ask, and he honestly explained what he saw and heard today. Dare not hide anything.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Lang and sighed, "You, you will cause trouble for your father!"

Lin Lang lowered his head and remained silent.

After all, he had a lifetime of memories, but in the end he still messed things up, he was a little afraid to face Lin Ruhai.

"Forget it, I'll go to the Beijing Palace, you go to the back to accompany your mother and Yu'er." After all, it is his own son, can Lin Ruhai really let go of it?

He might as well go there in person and ask what the palace is thinking, so that this matter can be resolved.

It's not a secret thing that Lin Lang sent the lantern. It's guaranteed that everyone in the circle of four princes, eight princes and Qingliu civil servants will know in two days.

This time Lin Lang didn't dare to insist on solving it by himself. He watched Lin Ruhai change clothes and go out, sighed in his heart, Lin Lang tidied up his messy thoughts, and went into the backyard with a smile on his face.

Lin Ruhai came to the palace and was quickly invited to the study in the front yard.

"Ru Hai seldom comes to my palace, why is he willing to come today?" Shui Zhenchuan ordered someone to serve tea, and said with a smile, as if he didn't know Lin Ruhai's reason for coming.

Lin Ruhai didn't have the heart to go around with Shui Zhenchuan, so he drank a sip of tea and said bluntly, "I came here at this hour today, because of my son's reckless delivery of lanterns to your daughter on the Lantern Festival, Zhenchuan, if you treat me as a friend, Let’s just say it straight, how does the palace want to solve it at this time?”

Shui Zhenchuan smiled wryly, "How does the palace want to solve it? Ruhai wants to break justice with me?"

"Why did Zhen Chuan say that? It's just that you know that I have only one son under my knees, Lang'er. This matter is the fault of the child. It's the fault of the godfather. I, the father, will bear all the troubles caused by the child." Lin Ruhai said calmly.

Hearing these words, Shui Zhenchuan smiled bitterly, "Ruhai, you and I have been friends for many years, is it really going to this point? Brother Lang is still young, and it is reasonable to not understand these things. On the day of Lantern Festival, the child also accompanied me. On the side, if we talk about it, there is something wrong with the child, the mother has already spoken about this matter, so let's treat it as nothing, and there is no need to mention it in the future."

This is cold treatment?Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and immediately remembered what Lin Lang said back, and suddenly understood.

So that's the case, no wonder Lin Lang came to the palace to celebrate the county lord's birthday today, and everyone from the concubine to the prince didn't mention anything about the Lantern Festival.

Had he already made a decision?
