Lin Ji's struggling life

Lin Ji and the fourth elder brother opened a small private room upstairs in their teahouse to discuss important matters.Let’s talk about epidemic prevention first, then talk about Liulifang outside the city, and finally talk about the hot soup business that we are doing recently.Unknowingly, Lin Ji and the fourth elder brother have more and more intersections.

After finally finishing everything, Lin Ji hurriedly sent him to the door when he saw that the fourth elder brother seemed to be in a hurry.After returning to the teahouse, he felt that there was nothing important to do, so Lin Ji planned to have lunch at a famous vegetarian restaurant nearby before going back.Anyway, there is no one waiting at home, so I really miss this kind of free life.

Just when he stepped into the vegetarian restaurant, he was bumped into by Zhang Tingyu who was eating inside, so, under his greeting, he followed into his box on impulse.Eating out with Zhang Tingyu is not a big deal, but as soon as Lin Ji walked in, he immediately exploded.

He had just entered the door and discovered Perth's existence. It was too late to turn his head and leave at this time, so he had no choice but to sit together in embarrassment.

In fact, when Lin Ji sat down, he had been criticizing Zhang Tingyu secretly in his heart. Such a careless person brought his niece out and even dragged him in. Don't you know that men and women have different seats at seven years old? !Or is his cognition wrong, the ancients were actually very open? !

Of course, he didn't have the nerve to look in the direction of Pei Si, and only focused on chatting with Zhang Tingyu.

"Brother Lin, don't be fooled, come here, just order whatever you like." Zhang Tingyu said solemnly, "The vegetarian dishes in this restaurant are famous far and wide. I didn't expect that Brother Lin's taste is so good that I could find it here." He didn't mention Peisi next to him, and just talked to Lin Ji blindly.

Lin Ji was also very embarrassed. Well, he twitched the corners of his mouth: "I also came here after hearing people talk about it. It's also because of fate that I met Brother Zhang. This place is not close to Zhang's residence. Did you come here because of the name, Brother Zhang?" ?!" Don't talk about a coincidence, he could die from embarrassment by bumping his head on the tofu.

"That's not true. It's a good thing to meet Brother Lin by chance. I just have something to discuss with you. Peisi, you go to the temple and wait for me first." Zhang Tingyu ordered someone to take Peisi down, and he had a good talk with Lin Ji .

Walking across this street is a small temple, where the Zhang family worships Zhang Miaozhi, and they come here to worship on her death day.Although it wasn't Xiumu today, Zhang Tingyu brought Peisi here as soon as he went to court.

Now Zhang Tingyu is on duty in the South Study Room.

Seeing Peisi walking out of the private room accompanied by the servants, Lin Ji expressed that he really couldn't understand the progress, what was the meaning behind it. "I don't know why Brother Zhang is looking for me?" Could it be that he wants to discuss marriage with him now, oh my god, the letter he wrote to Father Lin hasn't been sent yet.

"Of course it's your marriage with Pei Si." Zhang Tingyu went straight to the point, not beating around the bush at all, "I don't know how Brother Lin is thinking about it?"

……

Lin Ji swallowed the tofu helplessly. Fortunately, it was tofu, otherwise he would have choked to death. "Marriage matters have always been the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I haven't reported this to my father yet. I will tell Brother Zhang when he replies. I'm afraid it will take some time. I hope Brother Zhang will understand." Dealing with in-laws like Zhang Tingyu made him feel nervous. He was afraid of death, so he better let it go.

"It's okay, I want to hear Brother Lin's point of view." Zhang Tingyu has always been a maverick, and his thinking is different from ordinary people. He went straight to the point: "I don't know if Brother Lin has any doubts about this marriage. Feel free to tell me." He said It's not that Lin Ji is necessary, but he feels that the two have similar temperaments, and he just hopes that Pei Si can find a good husband.

"Well," hesitated for a while, seeing that Zhang Tingyu asked sincerely, he also replied sincerely: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, but I have never thought about marriage, so it was a little messy for a while." He was serious. A little moved, but hesitant, "And I'm still in the filial piety period, even if we agree in private, the marriage will have to wait for three years, I don't care, I'm afraid Ge Ge will mind."

Although this reason is somewhat far-fetched, it is indeed true. "I think, maybe I can communicate with Gege to see what Gege thinks." Lin Ji suggested, he just wanted to see that Zhang Tingyu is not a pedantic person, and meet with his elders to talk about whether he would still Agree.

"So, Brother Lin, come with me." Zhang Tingyu brought Lin Ji to the temple, asked where Pei Si was, and then motioned for the servant to lead Lin Ji there.Zhang Tingyu went straight to her sister's memorial tablet and started talking to her.

Zhang Miaozhi is much older than Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu grew up behind her sister's ass since she was a child. She has a deeper affection for this sister than for her brother.After Zhang Miaozhi's death, he once collapsed.Later, he married a wife and had children. He wanted to take Peisi to Zhang's house, but it was not going well.

Now, the only thing he can do for this child is to let her marry a good family.Zhang Tingyu is not pedantic, on the contrary, he is very pragmatic and knows what is the most important thing in marriage, and that is Lin Ji.

As for the Lin family, he also has a good impression. Lin Ruhai is now a prosperous official.Besides, in a family without a hostess and complicated relatives, Perth's life will be more comfortable in the future.

When Lin Ji entered the yard, Pei Si was in a daze under the tree.Today is the anniversary of her mother's death, and every year at this time, she can meet with her uncles and listen to them talk about her mother.In fact, she has never seen her mother, and the portrait she has seen is very unclear.She has no deep feelings for her parents. Although her father is still there, he rarely appears in her life.

She lived with her maid since she was a child, even though Booni made things difficult for her, she escaped under the protection of Mengli and Zhang's mother.For her own life, she has always been step-by-step, and no one cares, so she devotes herself to her books and finds some comfort in them.Perhaps because of the lack of care from her elders since she was a child, or perhaps because of the influence of people around her, she gradually became a little confused, and she didn't know where to go.

In the future, the road is so long, but she never has a clear direction.There are thousands of flowers blooming like brocades, but none belong to her.

Lin Ji hesitated, but still called her name. "Zarafon." Lin Ji spit out Paisi's name lightly. He looked at the woman under the tree. The common flag dress covered her original graceful figure. She had thick hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beautiful nose and red lips. , an obvious mixed race, looking extraordinarily delicate and beautiful.

And when she turned around, Lin Ji's heart was captured by her misty eyes.

What he instantly remembered was the woman in his previous life who couldn't ask for it, and his heart suddenly emptied.Scenes of past events flashed in his mind. He never knew that he had missed that woman for so long.

The two just looked at each other in a daze, and the faint scent of flowers permeated the air.

It took a while for Peisi to react. She avoided Lin Ji's increasingly enthusiastic gaze and said softly, "How do you know my name?" She was a little surprised that he called out her own name. Everyone knows her Chinese name. "By the way, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time." Perth knelt down and saluted, looking at the man in front of her, gentle and elegant, thinking of the firm embrace that saved her that day, it made her feel a little bit better reverie.

Lin Ji smiled, "How can I not know the name of my future wife."

It's interesting, it's really interesting, he can still be moved.He thought it was the heart of a dead tree and old vine, but the heartbeat at that moment seemed to grow out of a flower, which made him secretly make a decision.Perhaps this is fate, the first meeting did not leave a deep impression, but this time, such a simple look at each other is so moving.Perhaps it was the look in his eyes just now, or maybe it was because of the quiet fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.

Perth's daydreaming immediately faded away, and she blinked, feeling like she was hallucinating, "What did you say?!" Could it be the meaning she understood.

"I said, I don't know what Gege thinks of me." Lin Ji teased the girl in front of him with a smile: "Or should I ask, what does Gege think of our marriage?" The boudoir doesn't know worries, just look into her eyes and know that this child is very innocent, "Huh?!"

Perth, who was completely speechless, realized in an instant that this apprentice was clearly teasing him.She secretly scolded him in her heart, not caring about her blushing so hot that she lowered her head, "If there's nothing else, I'll go first and leave." Before Lin Ji could speak again, she turned around and ran into the house .

It feels good to leave Lin Ji smiling foolishly in place.

He caressed his chest, feeling the throbbing of his heart, and the slight numbness spread from his limbs to his heart, it was extremely wonderful.Maybe the new life in the future will be more exciting, he grinned and laughed out loud.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Tingyu, Lin Ji went back to the Lin family's mansion, hurriedly took a paper and pen, praised Pei Sihao, and applied all good words to her, and the eloquence was three sheets of paper. "Lin Dong, hurry up and send it to the master urgently."

"Yes." Lin Dong's footsteps were floating when he walked out. He just heard something, you are going to have a mistress, what the hell is a mistress, can you eat it? !

When Zhang Tingyu brought the news home, the Zhang family was boiling.Master Zhang Ying rushed to the palace desperately, begging to see the emperor.

Kangxi, who was about to go to the harem, was forced to come to the study, looked at the elder kneeling below, and rubbed his ears, "Mr. Zhang Ge, what did you just say?!" He must not be hallucinating.

"Your Majesty, I implore the emperor to grant a marriage to my granddaughter Peisi and Master Lin's son." Zhang Ying bowed again, very piously.For his granddaughter, he felt it was worth it.

"No, you're talking about Lin Ji?! With Peisi? Zarafon?" Kangxi opened his mouth slightly, a little stunned.Why did these two people get together? There must be some hidden secrets. He knew that Zarafon'a's marriage was a headache for Zhang Ying. Why did Lin Ji get involved at this moment? During the filial piety period, discussing relatives? !

"Yes, to report back to the emperor, my son Tingyu had a chat with the Lin family yesterday, and he felt that this child is real and can be entrusted to him for life. It happened that last time in Shandong, the child saved Peisi's life, so Tingyu chatted with him. Speaking of marriage, mentioning Tipes, it’s settled like this.” Zhang Ying smiled as if she had picked up money, “I hope that the emperor will show mercy and grant an imperial edict to fulfill this couple.”

In fact, the emperor rarely bestowed marriages on people. Except for the prince and close relatives, the children of ministers were generally not within his jurisdiction.But since Zhang Ying begged so hard, as his Minister of Humerus, he still has to give this face.And it involved that child again, and finally Kangxi agreed. "Let me think about this matter. The child is in the filial piety period. Let me see how to arrange it. Aiqing, you go back and wait. There will be news in a few days."

Waving his hand, let Zhang Ying leave.Kangxi picked up the imperial decree of reward that had been prepared on the desk, thought about it, and decided to bestow a title on Lin Ji, which could be regarded as adding some luster to his marriage.Kangxi stroked his beard with some relief, and his son had also reached the age of marrying a wife.

He called the little official who served the pen and ink to come over, drew up the imperial decree, read it briefly, and then put it down.After giving Liang Jiugong a few words, he went straight to the house.

I am no longer in the mood to go to the harem to meet those women, but stay alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Kangxi sat on the slum, looked at the little arrow in his hand, and missed his good friend.

I think back then, the two of them had such a good relationship, playing together, hunting together, and watching girls together.If their identities hadn't been exposed later, they would have been so good for sure.Perhaps as an emperor, it is doomed not to have friends.But he was an accident, thinking of the man who threw himself in front of him to block the sharp sword, Kangxi felt warm in his heart.

The brotherhood of youth is shining like gold for a long time.

The author has something to say: Well, I think you guys will attack my heroine again and keep scolding her and crying.
