Chapter 71
Although it was early summer, there was a sudden wind at night, and when he opened the door early in the morning, he was shivered by the cold wind. Lin Beiyuan looked at the leaves on the ground outside the window, thoughtfully.
After a while, Daiyu sent Xiangling over, saying that she had prepared millet porridge for the young master to eat before going out. Mingyue served Beiyuan to wash and had breakfast before going out in the carriage.
Although Lin Beiyuan was appointed an official at a young age in the early years, attracting everyone's attention, but these years, the Holy Spirit has vigorously promoted the younger generation, who are all young people from noble families, so Beiyuan is not so conspicuous, and even more so. What's more, Lin Beiyuan has never been conspicuous in his work, and those red-eyed people thought that the Holy Master promoted Lin Beiyuan specially for Lin Ruhai's sake. Now Beiyuan is quite popular in the court, but he doesn't care about him. Those who call themselves brothers and sisters are harmonious.
This day was the second prince's birthday, and many colleagues were invited to a banquet. Although it was a small-scale gathering, Bei Yuan could see that it was clearly a farce joke for the second prince to use this to win back the wedding banquet.
I went to the second prince's mansion this morning, but many people arrived, and I met a few familiar colleagues and said a few words.
However, servants dressed in uniform came to guide everyone to sit down in the yard. Bei Yuan thought that the weather was not good today, but he didn't expect that a big tent was set up in the yard, and there were some wicker chairs inside, which was rather ancient.
As soon as Bei Yuan sat down, he saw Song Shiwen sitting next to him.When Song Shiwen saw Bei Yuan, he smiled and said, "Brother Lin came early."
Bei Yuan said casually, "It's not too early for you."
Song Shiwen said: "I listened to Brother Lin's words yesterday and thought about it all night, but I didn't fall asleep."
Lin Beiyuan laughed to himself when he heard this, but he didn't expect him to really think about it, so he asked, "What's the result?"
Song Shiwen said: "I can marry you!"
"What?" Lin Beiyuan asked in shock!A few people on the side were attracted to look this way.
Song Shiwen said: "Brother Lin, don't be surprised, I also have inside information." Song Shiwen said hello to a few colleagues who had just arrived, and then said to Lin Beiyuan: "There is a lot of trouble at home, and I am in Beijing again. I wanted to find someone who could be a housekeeper. But yesterday you talked about getting married, so I thought it might be a way."
Hearing what he said, Lin Beiyuan seemed to have made up his mind, but Song Shiwen was an official appointed by the court, if he really entered the Lin Mansion, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the whole capital.
What's more, his family's relationship is chaotic and there are many brothers and sisters, so it's really not a good match. Lin Beiyuan thought about it and said: "Brother Song is a talented person, it's better to be more cautious about this important marriage."
After hearing this, Song Shiwen smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I don't believe it. I mean what I say very seriously. I think I have been bullied since I was a child, and even more so by my mistress. There is no nostalgia at all."
Lin Beiyuan looked at Song Shiwen, and was about to speak, but Liu Sichao walked over, but said that Liu Si came here with Liu Er and Liu San, and even talked for a long time in the chief seat, but looked coldly at Lin Beiyuan. I don't know what Song Shiwen is talking about with his head, and his appearance is even more intimate.
Liu Si looked at Lin Beiyuan, then at Song Shiwen and said, "The two of you are having a good time talking here, and you don't want to say goodbye to the birthday star!"
After hearing this, Song Shiwen hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Fourth Highness, for your suggestion." Then he walked towards the main table.
Lin Beiyuan entered, only looked at Liu Si and said: "I heard that the Fourth Imperial Concubine is happy, here is my congratulations to you."
Originally, Liu Si came here full of dissatisfaction, but when he suddenly heard Lin Beiyuan's words, his anger was relieved in an instant, and he just said: "It's nothing, it's our duty to have children, I just don't know Beiyuan What do you think!"
Lin Beiyuan said with a smile: "What His Highness said is that there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest."
What Lin Beiyuan said was good, but Liu Si's ears always felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say it out. He looked at Lin Beiyuan, and he was still handsome, but why did the two go further and further apart.
The two of them didn't speak at the moment, just as the banquet started, they invited a few famous actors to sing a cappella, which was quite unique.Seeing that Song Shiwen didn't come, Liu Si sat next to Beiyuan, but the two of them didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. The atmosphere was so awkward that the people around them were very silent.
However, after Song Shiwen returned to the mansion, he immediately sent someone to invite the official media and came to propose marriage with gifts.
Seeing this, Lin Beiyuan couldn't help but smile wryly, he just took Song Shiwen's hand and said, "I'm here to apologize to Brother Song, what I said was just nonsense, it can't be taken seriously, Brother Song, please don't take it seriously."
Song Shiwen said seriously: "Brother Lin, I really want to!"
Beiyuan looked at Song Shiwen twice from head to toe, and Song Shiwen said with a wry smile: "Brother Lin, don't worry, I am really willing."
Lin Beiyuan asked him to sit down, and then asked the matchmaker to drink tea in the small living room.Then he pulled Song Shiwen and said: "Brother Song also knows the situation in my house. My sister and I grew up together. Our parents left early, but the Lin family has a small population, so there are only my sister and brother. This is naturally close." Thicker, my elder sister has her own ideas. She takes care of the inside and outside of the house. My three meals a day are all bought by her servants. Although the population of my house is simple, you also know me It's not about reconciliation, you must be a little clear about it."
Song Shiwen agreed with Lin Beiyuan's words, and said: "Brother Lin, don't say that, there are more relatives in my house who are unhappy. Brother Lin made a decisive decision. I really admire it."
Hearing this, Beiyuan just laughed dryly, and was thinking how to refuse him, but he didn't know that Daiyu sent someone over, and only said that he was asking Beiyuan to go over and have a word.
That being the case, Beiyuan naturally asked Song Shiwen to wait first, and went to the backyard by himself, and saw Daiyu wearing a light pink dress, standing under the tree and smiling at him.
Seeing Beiyuan walk in, Daiyu asked, "Someone came to propose marriage!"
Bei Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister's news is really fast."
Daiyu pulled Beiyuan to sit on a stone bench under the tree, and said, "I've heard that Song Shiwen is a talent."
Beiyuan had never heard such words from Daiyu before, why did he hear this, but he had other ideas, it is said that Daiyu is also very old, and he is not such a rigid person, although this marriage between a man and a woman is a The words of the matchmaker, the orders of the parents, but Beiyuan always felt that it was a great blessing to have someone to love each other in the vast sea of people. Could it be that before he knew it, Daiyu had already secretly agreed.Thinking of this, Beiyuan looked at Daiyu with some questioning eyes.
Daiyu smiled and said: "Don't think too much, I just often hear him from the noble ladies in Beijing, but he is quite a person who is quite favored by the sage. I thought he came here often, so I listened to him for two more sentence."
Seeing Daiyu's calm expression, Beiyuan didn't say anything, he just asked, "I don't know why my sister called me?"
Daiyu patted the pollen on her sleeve with a handkerchief, and said, "It's nothing, I just let you answer him."
After hearing this, Beiyuan saw Daiyu's indifferent expression, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Daiyu said with a smile: "This man has outstanding looks and good literary talent. I heard that there are no two maids in the house now, so I think he is a safe man. However, he is speculative with you. I think it would be best for this man to marry you." But that's all."
"This is true!" Bei Yuan asked.
"Naturally." Daiyu said, looked at Beiyuan again, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I also secretly saw his appearance."
Hearing this, Beiyuan just stared at Daiyu. Daiyu blushed, not as calm as before. Beiyuan pointed to Daiyu and said, "I just don't know when my sister met him." of."
Daiyu just said shyly: "He doesn't know me, but one day he came to the mansion, and I happened to be picking petals under a tree in gray and white clothes. When he saw me, he didn't say a word, but stood aside. Helped me with many things. He only thought I was a girl in the mansion, and only told me to be careful not to be burned by the sun. I saw his words were steady, although he helped me with things, he always kept his distance. of."
After hearing this, Bei Yuan knew that there was such a thing, but he had never heard the two of them say it, but Bei Yuan always felt that the two of them didn't understand enough, but the current people's customs are closed, and the defense of men and women is the most rigorous. I'm afraid that if Daiyu goes wrong, what should I do?
Seeing Beiyuan like this, Daiyu naturally knew his worries. After thinking about it, she said: "The matter of husband and wife has been difficult since ancient times. No matter what, there are always many regrets. I can't think about it until the end. I really don't know the choice." Whether it is correct or not, I just know that Beiyuan and him are colleagues, and they have some friendship, and he voluntarily married, I think this kind of courage is not available to others. Besides, don't you still care about me being wronged!"
Lin Beiyuan heard this, Fang stood up and cupped his hands and said to Daiyu: "Sister's thinking is certainly good, but I always feel that these two unfamiliar people are always a bit awkward."
Daiyu smiled and said, "After reading the books for these years, why do you feel a little indecisive? Girls always want to marry. No matter what, Song Shiwen is better than those strangers. He knows the basics and is easy to talk to."
"Since that's the case, then I will agree." Beiyuan said to Daiyu.
Daiyu nodded, and Beiyuan went to the front to talk to Song Shiwen.
Although it was a marriage, Beiyuan thought that Song Shiwen was his colleague and they had some friendship, so he suggested that it would be better to buy the house behind Lin's mansion, renovate it, and go in and out as usual, which would be more convenient.
Song Shiwen naturally complied. Dang even wrote a document and agreed on the date of the appointment, and then they left.
Nowadays, there are quite a few rich ladies recruiting son-in-laws, but they are either bastard sons or down-and-out literati. As soon as the news of Song Shiwen's marriage came out, it immediately became the talk of the capital.
Everyone said that Song Shiwen was confused, and he was going to marry him no matter how well-behaved he was, they all secretly laughed at him for being spineless.
