Married Thrice to Salted Fish

After a few days of careful care, no matter what the inside is, Lu Wancheng has improved a lot on the surface.Lin Qingyu thought he could try to get out of bed and take two steps.Lu Wancheng listened to his advice, got out of bed, walked two steps with difficulty, felt his limbs were weak, and his whole body was weak, and lay back down again, with a peaceful mind: "There is nothing difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to give up. I choose to give up."

Lin Qingyu asked him: "Could it be that you plan to lie in bed for the rest of the day?"

Lu Wancheng: "What's wrong with that?"

Lin Qingyu: "...No, you lie down."

Lin Qingyu, who believed in studying hard and working hard, was determined to be strong, but he couldn't see Lu Wancheng's half-dead appearance, and he didn't step into the room all day—out of sight is out of sight.

This day is the day when the bride returns home.

Lin Qingyu doesn't want to admit that he is a "bride", but he does miss his relatives at home.He has only been away from home for a few days, but he feels like it has been years.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Liang sent a steward to Lanfeng Pavilion.Under the supervision of the steward, the servant brought two boxes of gifts, saying that the wife asked Shaojun to bring them back to her mother's house.

Hua Lu was not very old, and said bluntly: "What, it's only two boxes? It's not enough for Madam to marry a maid and return home."

The manager apologized and said with a smile: "Ms. Hualu doesn't understand. How much a bride brings back home depends on how much dowry she brings when she gets married. The young master brought less dowry into the mansion, so the return ceremony naturally follows. not enough.

This is true.When his parents prepared the dowry for Lin Qingyu that day, he strongly demanded that it be as little as possible, and it was best not to bring anything.He didn't take any of the antique collection, precious porcelain prepared by his father, the gold and silver jewelry prepared by his mother, and the land deed for good land.Bringing these to the Marquis of Nan'an will only dirty their things in the Lin Mansion.

Lin Qingyu knew very well that his parents never cared about these extraneous things, all they wanted was his safety and prosperity.He said: "There is no need to bring these two boxes."

The steward was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong: "Young Master means..."

"Save it for Madam Hou to use it slowly."

Although Hua Lu is not yet married, she also knows that the return of the bride is a matter of face.She persuaded Lin Qingyu: "Shaojun, you can take some. If the bride really returns to her mother's house empty-handed, she will definitely be criticized and pointed at by others."

"Isn't Lin's family being pointed out enough?" Lin Qingyu said lightly, "Let them point out."

Masculinity prevailed in this dynasty, and the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries more or less raised several male concubines, and even the Holy Majesty's harem had one or two male concubines.But a man is a man after all, unable to bear children, so he cannot be a regular wife.

According to Dayu's law, one man and one woman, monogamy and multiple concubines.If it weren't for saving Lu Wancheng's life, and what the national teacher said, the Holy Majesty would not have violated the ancestral system and granted marriages to two men.

Lin Qingyu was the first male wife to be given a marriage. This alone is enough to make a small Lin family famous in the capital and become the talk of the rich and powerful in the capital.

The steward was muttering to himself, when he heard Lin Qingyu ask him: "Is the car ready?"

"Ready. There is one more thing, Madam asked the younger one to tell the young gentleman." The steward cleared his throat, and said, "Madam said, the eldest young master is not fully recovered, and it is cold outside. The young master is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, so there is no need to accompany him." Young Master has returned to her mother's house."

Lin Qingyu said calmly: "Don't worry, I don't intend to take him back either."

Lin Qingyu got into the carriage alone.Nan'anhou's Mansion and Lin's Mansion are separated by more than half of the capital, and it takes more than half a day to go back and forth.

When passing through Yongxing Street, Lin Qingyu stopped the groom and said, "Wait here."

Yongxing Street is the busiest street in the capital. Both sides of the street are full of shops: silk cloth shops, porcelain shops, wine shops and tea shops, etc.Lin Qingyu walked into a restaurant and ordered two pots of good Nurhong, and then went to the dim sum shop next door to buy a few catties of candied fruit snacks.It's enough for him to go home.

Lin Fu knew that Lin Qingyu would go home today, so he opened the door early in the morning.When it was almost time, Mother Lin took her youngest son and the servant who had followed Lin Qingyu since he was a child and stood waiting at the gate of the mansion.

Seeing that he was about to get home, Lin Qingyu opened the window of the car, and from a distance, he saw a child with long hair jumping up and down, waving his hands at the carriage.

This is his six-year-old brother, Lin Qinghe.

Lin Qingyu's heart, which had been tensed for many days, finally relaxed a little.

When Lin Qingyu got out of the carriage, the younger brother threw himself into his arms: "Brother!" Lin Qinghe was at the age of changing his teeth, two of his front teeth were missing, and he still had a leak in his speech.

"Young master!" Huantong, the servant, was very excited, as if his young master did not come back from Nan'an Hou Mansion, but from the battlefield.

Lin Qingyu touched his younger brother's head, and looked at the gentle woman beside him: "Mother."

With tears in her eyes, Mother Lin said, "Just come back." She looked at the carriage, quite nervous, "Young Master is still in the carriage?"

Lin Qingyu said: "Young Master is sick in bed, it is not suitable to go out, he let us treat him as dead."

Mother Lin looked shocked: "This..."

Lin Qingyu smiled reassuringly: "I won't mention others at home—where's my father?"

"A disciple of your father came to visit the house today, and he is entertaining guests in the hall."

Lin Qingyu asked, "Which disciple?"

Lin Mu said, "Tan Qizhi."

The smile on Lin Qingyu's face faded slightly: "I really know how to choose a date." He didn't come early, and he didn't come late, but he came when he was returning home.

The Tan family runs the largest pharmacy in central Beijing. Tan Qizhi is Father Lin's disciple, and Lin Qingyu has some sort of friendship with him.But friendship is friendship, if it's just about liking, Lin Qingyu doesn't want to have too much contact with this person.This person is always wishful thinking and compares openly and secretly with others, and the more times it is, the more annoying it is.Compared with Tan Qizhi, even Lu Wancheng can look lovable.

In any case, Mother Lin was relieved that Lu Wancheng didn't come.Both she and her husband only thought about their son, and if the son-in-law came, the whole family would be cautious. "Don't stand at the door, go in, mother has prepared your favorite plum cake."

Lin Qingyu asked: "Did my mother make it herself?"

Mother Lin smiled: "That's natural, what other people do can't get into your mouth."

Lin Qingyu smiled lightly, the coldness around him seemed to turn into a ray of spring breeze, and the driver of the Hou's mansion who was driving the car was stunned - is this still their young master who ignores everyone and treats others with a cold face all day long?

As soon as Lin Qingyu entered the door, he saw Tan Qizhi coming towards him: "Brother Qingyu, I have waited for you!"

Tan Qizhi has a good appearance and a scholarly temperament. At first glance, he looks like a young talent.

Lin Qingyu nodded lightly to Tan Qizhi, and then saluted the man on the throne: "Father."

Lin's father would not be as happy and angry as Lin's mother, but his eyes flashed slightly: "I'm back."

Tan Qizhi looked outside the door and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's the young master?"

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "He didn't come."

Tan Qizhi looked surprised: "I have never seen a bride come home without her husband coming with her."

"Yes, then you can see it now."

Father Lin thought it over and said, "I think it's because the young master's illness has not recovered, so it's not suitable to go out."

Even if the sick body is still unhealed and it is not suitable to go out, how come there is not even a letter of worship?

Tan Qizhi looked at Lin Qingyu unabashedly.Lin Qingyu was wearing plain white clothes today. He was already thin, with a breeze in his sleeves and a plain waist.Beauty is beauty, but it's too overbearing.A husband and wife are always condescending, can the husband like it?

He almost understood that Lin Damei didn't please her husband and in-law's family.

"Brother Qing Yu is indeed still handsome, and his face is better than that of a woman." Tan Qizhi said with a smile, "However, they are all young masters of the Marquis Mansion, why are they still dressed so simple and clean?"

Lin Qingyu swept Tan Qizhi's eyes up and down: "Of course I can't compare with Brother Tan. Brother Tan's purple fresh clothes, with a ring around his waist, is overwhelming. Who can be more like a noble man and wife than you."

Tan Qizhi's face twisted, and soon returned to normal: "Brother Qingyu was joking. Speaking of Gaomen... Where is Brother Qingyu's return ceremony? Hurry up and show me the wealth of the Houmen."

Lin Qingyu picked up two pots of Nurhong in his hand: "Here."

Seeing this, Father Lin looked at him and smiled.

Tan Qizhi stared straight: "This... is gone?" Even if Lin Qingyu fell out of favor, she was still the man wife of the Hou family's matchmaker, so how could the return ceremony be so shabby?

"There are still a few catties of candied fruit snacks," Lin Qingyu said lightly, "Brother Tan, do you want to try it?"

Lin Qinghe heard that there were candied fruit, excitedly said: "I want to eat candied fruit, thank you brother."

Tan Qizhi said in a joking tone: "Brother Qingyu has hidden all the good things, and doesn't want to give them to the teacher and wife?"

Father Lin said: "I think this is very good. Ma'am, please take the wine to warm it up. Qingyu and I will have a drink with Qizhi later."

Tan Qizhi wondered: "Teacher, I'm afraid this is against the rules."

Father Lin asked, "Why is it against the rules?"

Tan Qizhi hesitated to speak: "Brother Qingyu is already a wife, how can he drink at the same table as me, a foreigner?"

Father Lin's face darkened.Even though his eldest son was handsome and married into the Hou family as a man, he still regarded him as an upright man.But others may not think so.The Nan'an Marquis Mansion has strict rules, and it is debatable whether a husband and wife can see a foreigner, let alone drink at the same table.

"It's really against the rules." Lin Qingyu was calm and calm on the surface, but he was already thinking about what kind of poison would be worthy of Tan Qizhi's mouth, "Then what are you waiting for, Brother Tan? Walk slowly and don't see him off."

Tan Qizhi was speechless, obviously he didn't see a good show, and he didn't want to leave yet.He laughed dryly and said: "To be honest, I came to the mansion this time, apart from greeting Master, I also have one thing to ask..."

Before finishing speaking, a steward came to report in a hurry: "Master, madam, uncle is here!"

Lin Qingyu said coldly: "Who is my uncle? What are you yelling about?"

"It's the young master!" Huan Tong, who was following behind the steward, said, "It's the young master from Nan'an Marquis Mansion!"

At this time, Lu Wancheng is not sleeping on the bed, what is he doing in the Lin Mansion?

Lin Qingyu restrained his emotions for a while: "I'll go and have a look."

Father Lin said in a deep voice, "We will go too."

After all, Lu Wancheng's status is honorable, if they don't go out to meet each other, neglect others, and spread the truth to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion with the excuse of a caring person, Lin Qingyu's situation will become more and more difficult.

Tan Qizhi rolled his eyes and followed.

As soon as Lin Qingyu arrived at the yard, he saw Lu Wancheng sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in by a servant.

The two looked at each other.

Lu Wancheng bent his lips and smiled, holding Zhilan Yushu, a modest gentleman: "Qingyu, you didn't take me with you when you returned to the Lin Mansion." Seeing Lin Qingyu's expression was touching, he lowered his voice and said, "No, why are you angry again... Why are you still angry?"

In the past few days, Lu Wancheng's face has grown some blood, but his complexion is still paler than ordinary people.He was holding an exquisite stove in his hand, and he was wearing a crimson shirt with a snow cape on his outside and a snow-white fox fur on his legs, but he didn't look bloated at all, on the contrary, he was luxurious and handsome, and even more jade-like and golden-looking. .

When Lu Wancheng was paralyzed on the bed, he got out of bed like a salted fish...he looked like a dog.

Before Lin Qingyu could speak, his parents came out.Lu Wancheng looked sideways slightly, and the servant behind him understood, took the stove and fox fur with one hand, and helped him up with the other.After Lu Wancheng stood firm, he bowed to Lin's father and Lin's mother and said, "I greet my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, my son-in-law is late."

The demeanor is graceful, generous and decent, which is exactly the demeanor that a noble son should have.

Lin Qinghe hid behind his brother, staring at Lu Wancheng with wide eyes: "Brother, this man looks so good."

Lin Qingyu watched coldly: "Illusion."

Father Lin said: "Young Master, you don't need to be too polite. You are sick, so sit down."

Lu Wancheng sat back in the wheelchair, his eyes fell on Tan Qizhi: "Who is this?"

"I've met Young Lord." Tan Qishang said respectfully, "Tan Qizhi is a disciple of the Lin Court. The 'Changxihe Medicine Shop' in the capital was opened by my family."

There was a smile on the corner of Lu Wancheng's mouth: "Huh? What kind of peace do you often have?"

Tan Qizhi hurriedly said, "Chang Xihe."

Lu Wancheng asked again: "What Xihe?"

Tan Qizhi vaguely realized that he seemed to have been tricked.However, the other party's status is not ordinary, no matter how he plays with him, he can only greet him with a smile: "It's Chang Xihe."

"Chang Xi what?"

... It's all about what.

Lin Qingyu interrupted the two of them: "It's cold and bleak. Father and mother, you go into the house first. Just leave it to me, Young Master."

Mother Lin stretched out her hand towards Lin Qinghe: "Qinghe, don't always cling to your brother, come to mother."

After his parents left, Lin Qingyu lowered his voice and asked Lu Wancheng, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Talking to Lin Qingyu alone, Lu Wancheng didn't bother to pretend anymore, his eyes were low and tired, and he looked tired: "I'm here to support you, Doctor Lin."

"No need." Lin Qingyu frowned, "Normally you don't get up at this time."

"Yeah, I worked hard several times to get up successfully." Lu Wancheng smiled, "I did this for you in order to repay you for giving me medicine and needles. How about it, are you moved?"

Lin Qingyu said coolly: "No."

Lu Wancheng raised his eyebrows: "Then I'm leaving?"

Lin Qingyu thought for a while, and said, "Alright, you can find an excuse to go back to the Hou's Mansion."

Lu Wancheng choked up, and suddenly felt that the world was not worth it: "...too much brother."

The author has something to say:

Xianyu Gong: God, I actually got up early because of him...
