The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Mrs. Lin was taken aback by Ji Heng's behavior, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in surprise, "Why is my nephew like this, please get up quickly."

But Ji Heng said, "Madam, please let Ji Heng kneel like this."

Mrs. Lin was even more surprised, "Why?"

With mourning on his face, Ji Heng said, "When I was in Zhejiang, Lin Xiang used to work in front of me."

Mrs. Lin let out an "ah" in surprise, her eyes widened, "She...is she in Zhejiang?" She cried immediately after saying this, and said, "She actually went to such a far place, could it be that mother Is there any incomprehensible hatred between women, she is a girl, she ran away from home like this, and there is no news for nearly a year."

Saying this, he asked Ji Heng earnestly, "Where is she now, why hasn't she come back yet?"

Ji Heng only felt pain in his heart. Facing Mrs. Lin's questioning, he felt how difficult it was to tell the news of Lin Xiang's death, so he said after a long time, "Ji Heng is sorry for not protecting Lin Xiang. On the way from Wenzhou to Shaoxing, we encountered bandits, and Lin Xiang was killed by bandits trying to protect me."

Mrs. Lin's face turned pale in an instant. She was startled for a moment, and then she fell down. Fortunately, there was a chair behind her, so she didn't fall to the ground. Covering his eyes, he began to cry loudly, "My poor son, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."

Ji Heng had no choice but to persuade, "Madam, please don't be so sad."

Mrs. Lin kept shaking her head, "You don't know, it's my fault. She said she wouldn't get married. I was angry with her and always scolded her. Seeing if she didn't repent, I said that she would not be considered a member of our Lin family in the future. Well, the Lin family can't tolerate her. They don't want her to be buried in the Lin family's ancestral grave after she dies, but she must marry someone. She was angry with me and ran away. If something like this happened in the family, the family ugliness should not be publicized, so we naturally I concealed this matter, and only said that I sent her to Qingxiu, and sent people to search secretly outside, but where can I find it. When she was only seven or eight years old, she was able to run away alone because of anger with her father. Going outside the customs is very daring, and we can't control her at all. But even so, I shouldn't say that about her. It's me who killed her."

Only then did Ji Heng know why Lin Xiang said that her mother would not allow her to be buried in the Lin family's ancestral grave, but insisted on burning her ashes and scattering them.

This is just Mrs. Lin's angry words, and Lin Xiang can actually believe it.

Mrs. Lin cried for a while, wiped her face with a towel, looked at Ji Heng again, and said, "It's not your fault, get up quickly, don't kneel down. I don't know what my own daughter looks like yet." It's not your fault, don't kneel."

But Ji Heng didn't get up, and said, "The thing is actually like this, ma'am, Ji Heng came here today to propose marriage to your family. Although Lin Xiang is dead, when she left, I said I wanted to marry her and sent her away." Buried in the ancestral tomb of my Ji family, I can also enjoy the offerings of my descendants of the Ji family forever. Because the weather was hot from Wenzhou to Shaoxing, the body could not be stored, so Lin Xiang had to be cremated. Her ashes are now in my house. Since I have already brought her into my own yard, there is no reason for her reputation to be damaged, so I came here and begged my wife to marry Lin Xiang to me. If my wife agrees, I will ask my mother to come again in person Say hello to you."

Mrs. Lin was stunned again, "You want to marry her?"

Ji Heng nodded sincerely, "Exactly."

Mrs. Lin was stunned, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and after Ji Heng said it again, she said, "This matter is good for Xiang'er. I just wronged you."

Ji Heng said, "What is wrong with me? She died to save me, and I just married her."

Mrs. Lin said, "Well, I'll discuss it with her father again."

Ji Heng kowtowed three times respectfully, and said, "Then Ji Heng will ask his mother to come to propose marriage in a few days."

Mrs. Lin stood up and helped Ji Heng up, thinking in her heart, what a crime.

Back then Lin Xiang wanted to marry Ji Heng, and asked her to find someone to ask Ji's mansion because she was unwilling no matter what. Although the things that were rumored between Ji Heng and the emperor at that time were not necessarily true, how much reputation did not matter? It sounds good, and the family of the Ji family is high, and Lin Xiang's life will not be easy when he gets married. After all, there is an emperor as a rival in love, another father-in-law who is the elder of the pavilion, and a mother-in-law who is dedicated to her son. , and her husband is more beautiful than herself, what is this?

Unexpectedly, after so many years, things can return to the original point, but the daughter has become a ray of fragrant soul, Ji Heng has also lost the immaturity of youth, and the matter with the emperor is no longer someone else's gossip Yes, everyone knows that the two are really husband and wife.

Mrs. Lin wanted to get Lin Xiang's ashes back from Ji Heng, but seeing that Ji Heng was so sad that he was devastated, she didn't say anything for the time being, thinking that Lin Xiang would marry after all, so why let Lin Xiang When Xiang returned to Lin's residence, everyone stared at him.

Mrs. Lin sent Ji Heng to Neiyimen. Ji Heng told Mrs. Lin to take care of her health before leaving.

Back to Ji's mansion in a carriage, Ji Heng returned to his own yard, Lin Xiang's ashes altar was placed in the Nuan Pavilion in Ji Heng's study, and incense candles had already been placed for offering.

Mrs. Xu personally brought some hats and hair crowns that Ji Heng wanted to use to his yard. His yard was very quiet, because there were many confidential documents in it, so Bian Wu and Lang Shang who came back to him were let in. The maids who guard the courtyard and serve him are also illiterate, and the management of the other staff is also very strict.

After Bian Wu and Lang Shang returned to Beijing, Ji Heng thought that they should go back to the emperor to report, but he didn't expect that the emperor just gave them some rewards, and then asked them to continue to return to Ji Heng's side as guards. Comers are welcome.Besides, we have been together for so long, how can we have some feelings.

Since Lin Xiang's death, Lang Shang has changed his previous reminding character and become a silent big man.

When Mrs. Xu came over, other guards went in to report, and Bian Wu sent Qiu Shan, the servant girl, to meet his wife.

Akiyama has a round face and looks so ordinary that if you want to find her in a crowd, you have to wear a tortoiseshell mirror, but he is very honest and reliable, and does things properly. There are some things in Ji Heng's study that Ji Heng mostly made She accepts.

She softly invited Mrs. Xu to go in, and said, "The young master just came back from outside, and he is in the small warm pavilion inside the study."

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, but she knew something in her heart, entered the Nuan Pavilion, and saw Ji Heng really sitting on the couch looking at Lin Xiang's ashes urn.

Mrs. Xu stepped forward and said, "Are you back from the Lin family?"

Ji Heng hurriedly got up and invited Mrs. Xu to sit down, and then said, "Yes. I have already told Mrs. Lin."

Xu sat down and asked, "How?"

Ji Heng sighed, and said, "Mrs. Lin burst into tears, saying that she regretted scolding Lin Xiang back then. She didn't blame Lin Xiang for dying because of me."

Mrs. Xu said, "Her daughter is not optimistic. She ran to the barracks. Besides his family, which other family's daughter would do such a thing? How can she blame you?"

Ji Heng knew that Xu promised him to marry Lin Xiang only because Lin Xiang died to save him, not because she liked Lin Xiang.

Ji Heng was also not good at arguing with his mother on this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "I mentioned the marriage to Mrs. Lin. Although Mrs. Lin said that she would discuss it with Mrs. Lin, I think she is satisfied with what she means. Yes, when the time comes, I will have to trouble my mother to propose a marriage."

Mrs. Xu thought that my son is so good, why would he be dissatisfied with another dead girl in the other party's family? After Lin Xiang gets married, he can be buried directly in the Ji family's ancestral grave, and he can also be buried in the Ji family's ancestral hall. What's wrong with sharing a position and being enshrined by Ji's descendants for generations.

Although Mrs. Xu thought so in her heart, she answered Ji Heng's question very simply, and went to the Lin family to propose marriage when she was ready.

Ji Heng thanked Mrs. Xu, who frowned and said, "Arranging your marriage is supposed to be a matter between me and your father. I didn't expect you to do it yourself. How can you thank me. It's just this matter I haven't told your father yet, I'll go and tell him."

Mrs. Lin told her husband Lin Min about her daughter's death. Lin Min was naturally very sad when she heard about it, but her face was hardened, and she said, "It's better to die outside, there is no shame , a girl's family, just ran away like this."

Mrs. Lin cried even harder, so Lin Min had no choice but to comfort his wife. Later, Mrs. Lin told about Ji Heng's marriage proposal. Weeping, "Do you want to watch your daughter die and still have a tablet in the Lin family? What will the descendants of the Lin family think of her in the future? Besides, if you hadn't insisted on raising her as a man back then, teaching her boxing, foot and sword skills, riding a horse would be fine." Hold her to your chest, put her on your head when you go to the barracks, will she become like the daughter-in-law later on?"

Naturally, Lin Min couldn't say who made her give birth to a daughter in the first birth, and she had nothing to do for many years, and she gave birth to a son later.If the first one is the son, how can there be so many things later.

With Mrs. Lin pushing, shoving and crying, Lin Min had no choice but to nod in agreement with Ji's family proposal.

So the Lin family asked someone to explain to Ji's family, and two days later, Mrs. Xu went to the Lin family's door in person and came to kiss her.

Outsiders don't know that the eldest daughter of the Lin family is dead, but they only know that Mrs. Xu came to the Lin family. Some people who are close to her also know that Mrs. Xu's visit is to marry the Lin family.
