The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world
Chapter 254 Strange
On the day of the appointment, everyone in the Lin family was very excited, and the servants got busy early.
Lin Wanqiao was so excited that she stayed up all night. Before dawn, she called her personal maids Zhixia and Xichun to dress her up.
Gardenia brought a basin of hot water and joked cheerfully: "Second Miss, you started preparing so early, but you can't wait to see Prince Ning?"
Lin Wanqiao glared at her and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense. I am here because His Royal Highness King Qian is coming with Princess A Zhao to diagnose her mother. I am afraid that my servants will make mistakes while they are busy, so I want to prepare some of their favorite food in person." meals.”
Gardenia put away her smile, twisted her handkerchief and wiped Lin Wanqiao's face. She couldn't help but sigh: "Second Miss has delayed her marriage to take care of my wife all these years. Although the Xu family is well-known in our hometown, her family background is not as good as before." Our Lin Mansion is a little behind."
"Second Miss, please don't blame me for talking too much. I think you should get a better marriage after suffering so many years of hard work!"
Lin Wanqiao's face darkened, and she quickly covered her mouth: "Gardenia, these words will rot in your stomach forever from now on, and you must never say them out again!"
Gardenia nodded vigorously.
At this time, Xichun came in holding a set of gorgeous clothes sent by Xiuhefang yesterday.
She had just heard Gardenia's words at the door and was so angry that she stepped forward to scold her: "If you don't restrain your outspoken temper, you will cause a lot of trouble to the Second Miss and the Lin Mansion!"
"Nowadays, how many pairs of eyes are staring at our Lin Mansion in Kyoto. If these unintentional words of yours are spread, they will inevitably be misinterpreted by others, and may even be used to make an issue by someone with intentions, accusing the Lin Mansion of betrayal. You rejected the Xu family’s marriage because you cling to the powerful!”
Gardenia was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake: "I know I made a mistake, so please forgive me, Miss Second! I have no other intentions, and I will never dare to do it again in the future!"
Lin Wanqiao helped her up and warned softly: "You girl, I know you are thinking about me. But you and Xichun are about to marry with me to the Hou Mansion."
"At that time, I will serve my parents-in-law and take care of the affairs of the back house, and Princess A Zhao will leave Sifang Building and Xiuhe Fang to me to take care of. We can't do as we please in the Lin Mansion, and we must be careful in our words and deeds in the future. .”
"Yes, miss." The two nodded in agreement.
Xiharu once again warned Gardenia sternly: "If you can't control your mouth anymore and make mistakes in the future, even if the lady wants to forgive you, others will not be able to forgive you!"
Gardenia repeatedly promised that she would correct herself.
Just as Lin Wanqiao comforted her with a few words, Mrs. Yu came over with a happy face and asked her to go to the main hall for breakfast.
When Lin Wanqiao was carefully dressed up and stood in front of Mrs. Yu, she put on that sparkling dress.
Mrs. Yu happily praised: "Ah Qiao looks really good today. Come on, let mother and the others take a look."
When the servants of the Lin Mansion saw Lin Wanqiao appearing, they all stepped forward to salute her and greet her, looking at her with particularly eager eyes.
After breakfast, the female members of the Lin family took Lin Wanqiao aside and talked privately for a long time.
Lin Xitang and Lin's father went to the front yard to wait for guests.
Just after arriving, the concierge hurriedly came to announce that the recruitment team from Ninghou Mansion had arrived.
After hearing the news, the Lin family hurried to greet him.
Before they reached the Chuihua Gate, they saw the servants of the Hou Mansion filing in carrying generous betrothal gifts.
Father Lin and others looked surprised.
They clearly saw that Mr. Fu only gave Ning Zijun a small box of things at the Fu Mansion yesterday, which contained weapons and the like.
So how did Ning Zijun get these expensive betrothal gifts?
Just when the Lin family was confused about the betrothal gift in front of them, Ning Zijun walked in with a smile on his face and met Lin's father and others.
Then he handed over the list of betrothal gifts to Father Lin for review.
Father Lin and Lin Xitang looked through the list and heard Ning Zijun explain calmly: "Father-in-law, all the rewards I received before were distributed to my injured soldiers. These betrothal gifts are the family property I received from my grandfather. As well as the one hundred and twenty-eight betrothal gifts raised from Qingqing’s private treasury, I hope my father-in-law won’t dislike it.”
Father Lin and Lin Xitang looked at each other with a little surprise in their eyes.
Ning Zijun patted his chest again and promised Lin Wanqiao: "Ah Qiao, although my family property is not as large as Qingqing's. But I am still young, and I will definitely work hard to earn military merit so that you can live a life of fine clothing and fine food. I will never let you suffer any injustice.”
Lin Wanqiao couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
The Fu family's share of the property alone, even if divided equally between them, would be enough for them to enjoy for several lifetimes, so there would be no need for suffering.
Seeing that the elders of the Lin family were silent, Ning Zijun felt uneasy.
He asked slightly nervously: "Father-in-law, brother-in-law, do you think the gift I gave you is too small?"
Lin Xitang waved her hands to deny it: "Brother-in-law, you are worrying too much. We did not mean this. Your one hundred and twenty-eight yuan betrothal gift is too much. It is the dowry we prepared for Aqiao..."
Lin Xitang was embarrassed to continue.
In recent years, in order to treat Lin's mother, the Lin family has spent a lot of money on visiting famous doctors and purchasing precious medicinal materials. The family is no longer wealthy.
All members of the Lin family are proud literati and are not good at business. The family's expenses depend entirely on the salaries of their grandparents and grandchildren, who can only maintain their daily expenses.
Ning Zijun noticed their unspeakable secret and smiled to resolve the embarrassment: "Zijun is a rough man and doesn't understand these complicated etiquette. He just thinks that the number one hundred and twenty-eight sounds quite auspicious. I hope my father-in-law and uncle don't want it." Think more!”
When Lin Xitang heard what he said, her expression became obviously much more relaxed, and she nodded gratefully to Ning Zijun: "Brother-in-law is interested."
Father Lin was about to invite Ning Zijun to the main hall to have tea and rest.
At this time, the concierge shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qian and Princess A Zhao have arrived!"
The Lin family hurried to the door to greet him.
"Welcome to His Royal Highness King Qian and Princess A Zhao!"
Ning Ziqing signaled that they didn't need to be polite, smiled and stepped forward to hold Lin Wanqiao's arm.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Wang and I are here to give you a dowry!"
She winked at Yaoyao, who nodded and led the servants of the Fu Mansion carrying dozens of boxes of items into the Lin Mansion.
Father Lin asked in surprise: "Princess A Zhao, what does this mean?"
Mrs. Fu walked up the steps with a smile and explained: "My dear, this is a little bit of our old lady's wishes!"
"The old man said that when Aqiao marries Zijun, he will be like his granddaughter. This morning, he urged me to give Aqiao some dowry!"
The Lin family was stunned.
They looked at the boxes being carried into the house one after another. How could this be "a little bit" of heart!
Then, they heard Ning Ziqing counting on her fingers: "My grandfather gave me thirty-two pieces of dowry. I asked Wen Nian to send me twenty-eight pieces. Brother Wang, please give some more to add to my sister-in-law's dowry. I don't know if it will be enough." Not enough?"
Jiang Quhan frowned: "If it's not enough, let's send some more."
The servants were dumbfounded, staring at the two men and swallowing their saliva.
Lin Laoge couldn't bear it, so he quickly declined politely and said: "We appreciate the kindness of your two highnesses and Mr. Fu. But how can Aqiao Hede accept such love from you? Please take back these two highnesses." Valuable items!"
Jiang Quhan raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no reason to take back what I have given away. Mr. Lin Ge, do you look down on me?"
Lin Ge was startled and hurriedly denied: "His Royal Highness King Qian misunderstood, I didn't mean this!"
Ning Ziqing couldn't help but interject: "These are all given to my sister-in-law by us. She is going to marry my brother, and it is not Mr. Lin Ge who wants to get married. Why do you refuse on my sister-in-law's behalf!"
Old Lin Ge's face heated up and he became speechless for a moment.
Others almost suffered internal injuries from laughing.
Ning Zijun pinched his thigh hard and suppressed his laughter.
His left hand quietly gave Ning Ziqing a thumbs up.
Ning Ziqing winked at him proudly.
Jiang Quhan looked at Elder Lin Ge's embarrassment, suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Okay, these are all trivial matters, Elder Lin doesn't need to worry about it. I am here today to diagnose Mrs. Lin, please lead the way quickly." !”
Lin Xitang and the others came to their senses and respectfully invited Jiang to Hanjin Mansion.
Mrs. Lin was unable to go to the Fu Mansion for the banquet yesterday due to her weak health.
Today she barely supported her sick body to get out of bed. She originally wanted to see Ning Zijun in person and see what he looked like.
Unexpectedly, before walking out of the main hall, he suddenly fainted.
The maids and wives had no choice but to help her back to the garden.
On the way, Jiang Quhan asked Lin Xitang about Mrs. Lin's condition.
When a group of them arrived in front of Mrs. Lin's bedroom, Jiang Quhan suddenly stopped and asked solemnly: "Do you know my rules for treating patients?"
Lin Xitang and the others shook their heads in confusion, while Ning Ziqing glared at him displeasedly: "You obviously promised well, and you are not allowed to talk about your weird rules!"
Jiang Quhan insisted: "That won't work. My rules must not be broken, otherwise this disease cannot be diagnosed!"
Lin Wanqiao anxiously begged Jiang Quhan: "His Royal Highness King Qian just says it's okay."
Jiang Quhan's expression was serious: "Every time I save someone's life, the other person must repay me with a knife, and it can be accepted by him or his relatives!"
Ning Zijun winked at him: "Prince Qian, why do you have to force yourself into such a difficult situation!"
Jiang Quhan's attitude was firm: "If you can't accept it, then I won't force it. I think I saved three lives of the Fu family, and it was also the three swords that the Fourth Highness took on my behalf!"
Lin Wanqiao heard this and immediately knelt down: "My little girl is willing to take this knife on my mother's behalf. I beg His Highness King Qian to save my mother's life!"
Ning Zijun gritted his teeth in anger, pulled Lin Wanqiao up, and held his hands towards Jiang Quhan: "As long as King Qian can cure my mother-in-law, I am willing to bear this knife on her behalf."
Lin Wanqiao disagreed and insisted that she bear it.
Lin Xitang and Mrs. Yu also expressed their willingness to take the responsibility for Lin's mother.
Several people argued over this.
Ning Ziqing angrily threatened Jiang Quhan: "If you continue to embarrass my sister-in-law and the others like this, I will ignore you."
Jiang Quhan sighed helplessly, pointed his folding fan at Ning Zijun and Lin Wanqiao and suggested: "Otherwise, if you don't want to suffer this knife, your children will have to stop calling me "uncle" in the future. How about that?" ?”
The noisy people suddenly fell silent.
Mr. Lin Ge and the others were also dumbfounded. They did not expect Jiang Quhan to be so unexpected.
Ning Zijun looked at Jiang Quhan inexplicably.
"You made such a fuss and you want to take advantage of me?"
Jiang Quhan scratched his head with a folding fan and said proudly: "Who told you to reject me before? Come on, call me "brother" quickly."
Ning Zijun had a sullen face and was extremely reluctant.
Jiang Quhan snorted dissatisfiedly and turned to Lin Wanqiao.
Lin Wanqiao was a little confused and shouted: "Uncle...brother!"
Jiang Quhan immediately clapped his hands with joy: "Brothers and sisters are still good, now we are all a family, there is no need to see anyone outside, you just wait outside, I will go and diagnose my mother-in-law right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and entered Mother Lin's house.
A bunch of people were left in a mess outside.
Inside the house, Mother Lin was lying on the bed, her breath weak.
I vaguely felt someone approaching.
She tried to open her eyes and vaguely saw a figure sitting in front of her bed.
Mrs. Lin's eyes widened and she carefully looked at the young man in front of her.
Seeing that he has a handsome appearance, extraordinary temperament, and a bright light shining in his deep eyes.
It seemed to be able to lead her in the deep darkness to the light, giving her endless hope and strength.
His voice was as clear as jade, making people feel peaceful when hearing it: "Mrs. Lin, don't worry, as long as I am here, the King of Hell will not dare to accept you!"
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like centuries.
Lin Wanqiao, Lin Xitang and others wandered anxiously in the courtyard, looking into the house from time to time.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door finally opened, and the maid came out to invite them in.
Lin Xitang and others entered the room one after another.
They saw Jiang Quhan sitting in front of the bed, shaking a folding fan in his hand.
Mrs. Lin was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Seeing them all coming in, Jiang Quhan folded his fan and ordered.
"Everyone else, please go out and close the door!"
The maid and her mother-in-law quickly retreated.
Lin Xitang wanted to ask about Lin's mother's situation.
Jiang Quhan said first, "Mrs. Lin's illness is really strange."
Several members of the Lin family looked at each other.
Lin's father said doubtfully: "I hope His Highness King Qian will tell the truth."
Jiang Quhan patted his folding fan and asked him in a deep voice.
"Master Lin, has Mrs. Lin ever been poisoned?"
