Zai'er struggled for a while, then reached out and patted his old father's chest twice, looking like he was about to cry.
Li Lin comforted Zai, and then said to Song Zhan, "He doesn't agree."
Song Zhan squinted his eyes and glanced at the cub, which was only four months old, and snorted: "I won't accept it if I don't want to. You also say that your cub doesn't agree. How did he know this?"
Li Lin smiled: "God's will, God's will, you see, he speaks out in the early morning and doesn't speak out in the later. He won't be happy just for you to say this. Isn't this God's will?"
Li Lin thought to himself, whether he wanted to marry or not, he could live alone without marrying. It was already not easy to raise him. Do we still need to raise him a little daughter-in-law?
Why doesn't he go to heaven?
Song Zhan looked at him with a straight face.
Li Lin persuaded him to give up this idea: "The grandson here will have children and grandsons, right? As fathers, we can just raise them. Let them worry about the rest."
"It's decided for them. If they don't like it when they grow up, it will be another thing and hurt their feelings. Besides, if nothing else, this one of yours may be another son!"
Li Lin thought to himself, "Boy, boy, Mrs. Song must have a boy. He doesn't have a girl, so don't have one like Song Qingzhan."
Song Zhan said: "You can't say that. Wasn't your father the one who decided on your marriage to the princess? Isn't it a good time now?"
Li Lindao: "You don't understand this."
Li Lin couldn't explain the twists and turns, but he had decided the marriage shrewdly in the past, and he hadn't determined which person it was, so there were multiple choices to choose from.
When he's almost old enough, go and take a trip. If you really like him, marry him. If you don't like him, it will already be a prince's house, and the noble daughter in the house probably won't be willing to marry a poor boy like you. I wish you could retreat on your own.
But he couldn't say these words for fear of spreading to Su Wan's ears. He didn't know how long he would have to sleep in the study.
Seeing that he didn't know what to say, Song Zhan stopped asking. After all, there are always things people don't want to talk about. If you ask again, it will be difficult to be friends.
He suddenly remembered something, then dug into his sleeve pocket, took out a sachet, and handed it to Li Lin: "This is a meeting gift from our husband and wife to Ah Shi, please keep it."
There is a pair of small silver bracelets in the sachet, with three lotus beads on them. The beads are made of fine pearls, each one is round and looks pretty.
When the child was one month old, although Song Zhan and Qu Lingzhu did not arrive, the gift did arrive. This meeting gift could not be called very expensive, but it was not bad, and the meeting gift did not need to be too expensive.
Li Lin accepted it for the child: "Thank you very much."
He touched the bracelet and said with a smile: "Continue to save the betrothal gift for him."
Song Zhan didn't understand: "Save the betrothal gift?"
Li Lin exclaimed: "My wife said that if a girl needs to start saving a dowry for her from the time she is born, and wait for her to marry in a glorious future, but since she is a boy, then save her dowry so that he will not have to pay for it in the future. I can’t even get a wife.”
Song Zhan: "..."
He was speechless for a while, and then he said after a long time: "...What on earth are you and your husband and wife doing every day? Aren't you bored?"
Also save betrothal gifts.
It's a shame they figured it out.
Li Lin was helpless: "That's all the fun I have. I have to carry my child every day, and I can't keep my hands off of him. I have to leave someone to take him, otherwise he will cry when he wakes up and hasn't seen anyone for a long time."
Song Zhan said: "He is used to it. If he is given care by the maids and wet nurses since he was a child, he will become familiar with it and no longer recognize him as a child. Even if he recognizes his parents, he will be happy to be taken care of by someone he is familiar with."
Li Lin said: "I can't bear to leave him to others. When he is older and can run around, he will be fine."
In fact, he has thought about it carefully. If he is really too busy and has no choice but to ask someone to carry it, but since the couple can carry it, then let's carry it.
The hardest part now is one year. The older maids and guards can look at him and breathe a sigh of relief.
Song Zhan thought about it and sighed: "What you said is that you can't bear it, so you should take it with you."
After a while, the child fell asleep. Li Lin took him to the dormitory to rest, and asked Xiao Sang to help look after him. Then he and Song Zhan went to the outer courtyard carrying wine. Soon after, the food was served, and the two of them sat and drank. .
While drinking, Song Zhan sighed with emotion: "Time really flies by. Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. When you and I came to the Imperial City in the past, we were just young students who came to take the exam. Now we all have wives. Now that I’m a father, come and have a drink.”
Li Linsui clinked glasses with him: "Maybe when we become grandfathers in the future, we can sit down and drink together."
Song Zhan smiled and said: "That's for sure. You have to live longer and work hard to survive. Thank you for dying early!"
"But some of you envy you, and some don't."
Song Zhan and his wife are very loving, and now they are pregnant with their second child, but there is one thing that is not perfect.
After Song Zhan was promoted to an official, Song Zhan's mother began to play the role of her mother-in-law, and she was not on good terms with Qu Lingzhu. She had visited him once before when Qu Lingzhu was pregnant, and they made a fuss. Later, Song Zhan summarily abandoned her. Went back.
When Su Wan was in the village, he also heard Song's mother accusing Qu Lingzhu of being unfilial.
Later, Song Zhan didn't let his parents come to the Imperial City. Firstly, there were too many disputes at home, and he couldn't live in peace. Secondly, it caused discord between his husband and wife, and offended the Yue family. Thirdly, he was There is also a younger brother in the village who can take care of his parents.
He gave money, his brother and his wife contributed, and promised that if any of their children were to take the imperial examination and become officials, he, the uncle, would do his best to help.
In this way, although things have been arranged properly and the conflicts at home have disappeared, it is really a pity that my parents are not around.
However, Li Lin's parents were gone, so it was hard for him to complain about this.
"Come, drink and drink."
It was already dark when Song Zhan left, and he was very drunk. Li Lin asked someone to help him get into the carriage, and then told Song Zhan's entourage to be careful on the road. Song Zhan also had a pregnant woman at home, so it was not good to stay overnight. he.
When he came back and finished washing, Su Wan came over. Smelling the smell of alcohol, she felt a little disgusted: "You are not allowed to go to bed at night. Don't smoke my son."
Li Lin didn't say anything and acknowledged it.
No way, there is always a price to pay for drinking.
"You said Song Zhan knew about the Ninth Prince and he didn't have any idea?"
"What do you want to think about? He is doing well and serving the court in a good manner now. No matter who takes office in the future, his future will be good. It is not a wise choice to rely on him."
"I used to be a classmate with him, and he said he wanted to be an official, so I asked him, if you want to be an official, should you be an official of the imperial court or an official of the emperor?"
"I have watched with cold eyes over the years. He probably still wants to be an official in the imperial court, which is quite good."
