Mr. Sun's son Sun Ying, the Mr. Sun whose mother had high hopes for him before, thinking that he would be admitted as a scholar or pass the examination and then marry a girl from a wealthy family, recently got married, but because he did not He was admitted as a scholar, so he couldn't marry the teacher or the county magistrate's daughter, so he had to aggrievedly marry his mother's niece, who was his cousin.
As a friend of Mr. Sun, Lin's father had become estranged in the past year, but the relationship was still intact, so Sun Ying also invited the Lin family when he got married. Lin's father went to the banquet, but Lin's mother and Lin Shichu did not go. .
But when Lin's father came back from the wedding banquet, he was angry and had an unhappy look on his face.
"Master, why do you come back with such an expression? Are you angry when you go to a wedding banquet?" Lin's mother asked her husband curiously.
Lin's father snorted and said, "Old man Sun showed off to me that his son was married. He said that his daughter-in-law was gentle and virtuous, and that she was a good wife and mother who cared for her husband and raised her children. Then he asked me to take care of my daughter. He said that the girl was exposed and having sex with men. The voice is immoral, and he also said that this is the reason why my daughter can’t get married! Bah! My daughter is good, smart and beautiful, how can she not get married? No, she won’t get married, she is asking for a wife!”
When Lin's mother heard what Lin's father said, she was immediately furious. She said to Lin's father: "Master Sun is too nosy. How is my Chu'er? What does it have to do with him? My daughter can do whatever she wants. What! His son, on the other hand, has always been told by his wife that he is smart and will definitely get a spot on the gold medal list and become an official in the future, but now look, he didn’t even get admitted as a scholar, and his family has the nerve to say that my daughter is not..."
"Master, since people don't like our Chu'er so much, you should stop interacting with others in the future, so as not to make his family angry again!" Lin's mother said unhappily.
"Okay, I won't have any contact with their family anymore!" Lin's father immediately agreed. He was reluctant to talk about his own daughter, so what qualifications did Old Man Sun have? Chu'er doesn't eat his food or drink his water!
The couple scolded the Sun family, but after saying that, Lin's father began to worry about Lin Shichu's marriage again, and asked Lin's mother: "Have you seen any young people who are willing to marry into our family recently?"
Lin's mother shook her head sadly: "No, our Chu'er is so beautiful and capable, but all the people who come to our door are unreliable. I would rather let Chu'er delay a few years before getting married than let her be picky and suffer the consequences herself." A man who is worse than her in every way.”
Hearing this, Lin's father sighed and said, "Then let's look for him slowly, don't be in a hurry, Chu'er is still young anyway."
Lin Shichu listened to her parents worrying about her marriage outside the room, and her heart felt like it was being pulled. Lin's father and Lin's mother loved her extremely much and wanted to give her the best in everything. But when it came to marriage, But they couldn't do anything, so they felt depressed.
When Lin Shichu heard them worrying about their marriage, he realized that he seemed a little unfilial.
The best way to solve their depression now is to quickly find a well-rounded man to get married, so that they can feel at ease, right?
Although Lin Shichu knew that he should do this, at this time, where could he find a man who everyone was satisfied with to marry him? She felt a rare embarrassment.
In the room, Lin's father and Lin's mother resumed discussing other things, but Lin Shichu left quietly without disturbing them.
When she returned to her own yard, Qingxue suddenly came forward and reported: "Miss, Xuan Ling is back from outside. I have something important to discuss with you. Do you want to see him?"
"Let's meet. Let him come in." Lin Shichu said, remembering that Yue Lingxuan seemed to have been busy expanding the Lin family's business, so he asked him to come to see him.
Yue Lingxuan came in soon. Lin Shichu took the people to the pavilion and asked the servants to retreat. He didn't talk to Yue Lingxuan until the conversation could no longer be heard.
Yue Lingxuan told Lin Shichu everything he had done. While helping the Lin family expand their business, he was also doing his own things in private. Lin Shichu knew about this, but did not stop him. Instead, it gave him a lot of help.
Yue Lingxuan did not appear with his true face at this time, but with a face that was somewhat inferior after the disguise. But even with his delicate and gentle face, coupled with his slender and tall figure, he still showed his demeanor. Pianpian does not look like a servant at all, but more like a scholar.
"Miss, Miss, why are you looking at me like this? The disguise on my face has disappeared?" Yue Lingxuan was reporting on his work, and then he noticed that Lin Shichu was staring at his face in a daze, so he quickly touched himself face, asked.
Lin Shichu was brought back to his senses by his shouting, and he quickly said: "No, no, your disguise hasn't gone off, it's fine. I was just looking at you, and suddenly I had another good suggestion."
"What's a good suggestion?" Yue Lingxuan saw that the problem was not with his disguise, so he asked casually.
Lin Shichu looked at his whole body carefully, and the more she thought about it, she felt that the idea that just popped up in her mind made sense, so she smiled and said to Yue Lingxuan: "It's just... I need to become a person now." Dear, do you want to marry me?"
When Yue Lingxuan heard this, he immediately choked on his own saliva and coughed until his face turned red. After a while, he finally stopped coughing and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say? Let me marry you. ?!”
"Yes, but if you don't like me, you can just pretend to be in name only. I just need a husband who will marry into my wife so that my parents can rest assured. There is no suitable candidate around me, and you are the most suitable one. Of course, in return, if you want to avenge your family, I can help." Lin Shichu explained to him slowly.
Yue Lingxuan opened his mouth. His mind was a little confused now. He could clearly understand every word Lin Shichu said, but the combined meaning was that his chaotic mind was unable to receive the correct information at all.
After being at a loss for a while, Lin Shi saw him for the first time as if he was out of his mind. He couldn't help but clapped his hands, finally calling his soul back, and asked him again: "What do you think of my proposal? I think this It is beneficial to both of us. I need a husband in name only, and you need the help of the Lin family. After a few years, your family's revenge has been avenged, and you can still reconcile with me. This is completely inappropriate. It will affect your future life. After all, you married me with the face you have now. After you regain your identity and no longer disguise yourself, no one will know that you were my adopted son-in-law."
Yue Lingxuan lowered his eyes and denied: "What revenge? I don't have any revenge to avenge."
