But the Lin Shichu Yue Lingxuan saw was a woman with a harder heart than a man. She looked pretty and had a cute smile, but she was actually cold and ruthless. Otherwise, how could she have been so serious when she met her seriously injured self that day? Dumping yourself on the side of the road, leaving some medicine and walking away without hesitation?
Yue Lingxuan was still brooding about being abandoned by Lin Shichu that day. He was a dignified young master of the Anguo Hou family. He had always been admired and chased by others, and he had never been so disliked by others! So he remembered Lin Shichu.
When Lin Shichu came back from the medicine shop, he saw a guest at home. It turned out to be matchmaker Li on the street. When matchmaker Li saw Lin Shichu, she smiled so hard that her teeth were gone, and the wrinkles on her face were like chrysanthemums. , said: "Miss Lin is back from shopping? Hey, she is so pretty. Who doesn't like her beauty?"
Being looked at by Matchmaker Li like she was looking at something, Lin Shichu frowned slightly, said hello to her with a fake smile, and then pretended to be shy and slipped back to his room.
Matchmaker Li must have come to introduce the crooked melons and cracked jujubes she found to her parents again. Ever since the Lin family announced that their daughters would only get married, there were few matchmakers who could level the threshold. Many were lost, but only a few were left.
Matchmaker Li was one of them. After she knew that the Lin family was looking for a son-in-law, she immediately changed the direction of choosing a son-in-law for the Lin family. She went to various places to find young men with many brothers and introduced them to the Lin family one by one.
But the people she was looking for were all kinds of weird, and most of them were crooked melons and cracked jujubes. Not to mention Lin Shichu, even Lin's father and Lin's mother looked down upon them.
Finally, Matchmaker Li left, half an hour later. After Lin's mother and Father Lin sent the people away, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin's mother pressed her chest, frowned and said angrily: "Those who were introduced by Matchmaker Li Men are simply not worthy of our first son, the eldest son of the Xian family in West Village, the third son of the Zhou family who makes tofu in East Town, the youngest son of the Chen family who sells fish in Taocun... He is either a villager or a pawn of the peddler. In the end, Matchmaker Li took our first son. Who is Er Dang? You can even introduce someone who is unworthy of publicity like that! If Chu Er’s marriage hadn’t been settled yet, I would have thrown her out the door, really!”
Lin's father was also very unhappy. His daughter was pampered and pampered, so how could he possibly recruit a stupid man as her husband? Lin's father would rather spend a long time searching than agree to matchmaker Li's candidates. Wouldn't that be cheating on his own daughter?
"Forget it, let's tell Matchmaker Li next time that she doesn't need to worry about our first son's marriage," Lin's father said.
Lin Mu immediately nodded: "Then tell Matchmaker Li carefully."
When Lin Shichu was eating, he heard the complaints from Lin's father and Lin's mother, all of which said that Matchmaker Li was unreliable and that the men she introduced were either inappropriate here or there, or none of them were good. .
Lin Shichu felt like closing her ears after hearing this. She didn't want her parents to worry so much about her marriage. However, in this fucked-up era, the first person who objected to a woman not getting married would be her parents, even if Lin's father and Lin's mother loved her very much. Their own daughter, but they will not allow her to remain unmarried for the rest of her life, because their knowledge and vision determine their ideas.
"Dad, I want to go to the cloth shop in Lianjiang. I heard that the cloth made from silk is very precious. I want to see it with my own eyes and learn about the cloth shop's business." Lin Shichu decided to go on a business trip. Take some time to relax.
Unexpectedly, Lin's father refused: "No, Chu'er, I don't have time recently, so I can't take you to Lianjiang, and I don't trust you to go by yourself, so you'd better wait."
Lin Shichu quickly persuaded him: "Dad, Lianjiang is not far from our place. It only takes two days by carriage to get there, and I will also bring our bodyguard with me. What are you worried about?"
"How can you, a girl, go out alone? How can dad be so relieved?" Although Lin's father loves his daughter, the world is such that unmarried girls can only go out in the company of relatives such as their father, brother, elders, or husband. , she couldn't do it by herself, so Lin's father didn't agree to let Lin Shichu go to Lianjiang alone without hesitation.
"Dad, you can't treat me like an ordinary girl. I want to take over the family business and be the master of the family. I'm different from ordinary girls. Just because they can't do things doesn't mean I can't do it. Even doing business in public is unorthodox. Dad, you promised me everything, so why didn't you agree to go on a faraway trip? Will I still be unable to go out on my own if I take over the family business? Then what kind of business should I take over?" Lin Shichu He plausibly said, "If there is a problem with the business in other places in the future and I can't travel far away, then there is no need to do the business at all. Let's stop it now."
Lin's father was immediately speechless by his daughter. He sighed and said, "Chu'er, dad just doesn't trust you. If something happens to you, your mother and I won't be able to survive. The girl's family Being away from home is much more difficult than it is for a man, and dad really doesn’t want you to suffer those hardships... How about, good daughter, let’s find a capable and conscientious son-in-law and let him take care of it?”
Lin's father actually backed down.
"No, it's much more difficult to find a conscientious son-in-law than it is for me to travel far away on my own. If the son-in-law is an ambitious person who wants to destroy our family and plot our family fortune, then our family of three will not know how to die." Lin Shichu hurriedly called Lin's father. Brainwashing him to firmly remember the idea that "son-in-law is unreliable".
In the end, Lin Shichu used all his strength to finally convince Lin's father to allow her to go to Lianjiang alone. Of course, she had to bring a bunch of people with her.
So Lin Shichu happily let Qingxue pack his luggage, and went to Lianjiang with a bunch of guards the next day.
Lianjiang is actually a town near the sea, with both fishery and mulberry industry. Lin Shichu said that she went to Lianjiang because she wanted to see silk cloth. This was not her main purpose. She mainly wanted to go to the beach to play and eat. seafood.
The group of people left the city in a grand manner. Lin Shichu sat in his carriage and drank tea comfortably. Because the Lin family was rich, her tea was all tribute grade, such as Longjing before Ming Dynasty and Longjing after the rain. Lin Shichu felt that drinking these good teas or making milk carts would be a great enjoyment.
The carriage was driving slowly. Since she was not in a hurry, Lin Shichu asked the coachman to walk slowly. When she walked to the road in front of Lingshan Temple outside the city, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. .
She couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look out, only to see a very familiar man. What a coincidence. Wasn't he the handsome man who had left a bottle of life-saving medicine to her and grabbed the medicine from her drug store?
