77. Set down
After Rong Qiaoyan and her party left, Mrs. Lin's nanny naturally quickly returned to the main courtyard and reported what happened outside the door.
Of course there is no need to say what Mrs. Lin was mumbling about.
It goes without saying what Lin Wanqing's expectations were.
It was only said that Rong Qiaoyan returned to her mansion in a carriage, and first went to the eldest lady to say hello and show that she was back.
After receiving a few harmless words from the eldest lady, I returned to my yard.
Rong Qiaoyan, who returned to Xingruoyuan, sent away the others, leaving Grandma Yang alone to serve her.
"Today is the eighth day of the lunar month. Tomorrow you go to Mr. Xin's house and have a grand visit. By the way, explain to Mr. Xin in detail what you are going to do next. The tenth day of the lunar month happens to be Xiu Mu, so you can accompany him.
Mr. Xin takes the matchmaker to propose marriage to Mr. Lin. Later, you can help Mr. Xin go through the wedding etiquette as soon as possible. Lest Mr. Lin one day sees some nobleman wanting to take a concubine and gives away his daughter.
"
Rong Qiaoyan made arrangements lightly at first.
After speaking, her tone became sarcastic.
Have children, have children, have children.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the son is the heirloom, and the daughter is just a pawn to gain benefits for the family.
There are very few families who put their daughter's wishes first - of course I can't say there are none, I can only say they are very few.
At least, not the Lin Mansion.
And Rong Mansion is not...
"Yes." Aunt Yang bowed and agreed.
Then, she asked with some doubts and worries: "Is this possible? Even if the young lady said that Mr. Xin is Aunt Shuang's nephew, he can be regarded as the young lady's cousin. However, if the Lin family really investigates,
What should we do? Besides, the lady’s distant relative..."
Aunt Yang slowly swallowed her unfinished words, but Rong Qiaoyan understood what she meant.
My aunt's natal family are not serious relatives, let alone my aunt's relatives.
Therefore, Aunt Shuang's distant nephew is naturally not considered Rong Qiaoyan's cousin.
but......
"The Lin family will not investigate. Everyone knows that aunt's relatives are not relatives, so the Rong Mansion will not recognize this relative. Besides, aunt was sold into slavery later, who knew she
Are there any relatives? The Lin family won’t be idle to check."
Rong Qiaoyan first answered the previous question of Grandma Yang calmly.
"As for my cousin. If I recognize him, he is my cousin. If I don't recognize him, he is just a stranger. So, as long as I recognize him, even if he is not a relative of Rong Mansion, I, Miss Rong Liu, will recognize me.
Relatives. At the moment, they still want to rely on my thin face, Miss Rong Liu. As for the future, it depends on whether Mr.
Gained approval from the Lin family."
Rong Qiaoyan lowered her eyes and said lightly.
Therefore, this is why Sister-in-law Six does not understand why she is sad about the demise of her family.
No matter how bad the Shouxing Mansion treats me, it still gives birth to and raises me, and then allows me to do some things in the name of the Shouxing Mansion when I am outside.
Because of the grace of upbringing, I will not take revenge on the Chief Assistant Mansion.
But the Shouxing Mansion treated her harshly, and she didn't want to sacrifice herself for the Shouxing Mansion again.
Now that she recognizes Mr. Xin as her distant cousin, the Lin family will give it some thought to the marriage.
Now that the marriage has been decided, and Mr. Xin is asked to wait until next spring before getting married, Master Lin will definitely think more about it.
After all, if you can pass the Spring Festival, you will definitely be a Jinshi - even if you are the same Jinshi, you will still have the title of Jinshi.
As long as you win the Jinshi, you can choose officials.
Everyone knows how to choose between a concubine's natal family who is not really a relative and a serious official's natal family.
Mr. Lin is also a member of the officialdom, so he will understand this truth.
To take a step back, even if Mr. Xin fails to win the Jinshi next year, there will still be a future.
After all, Mr. Xin is still young, so there is no problem in continuing to take the exam. Besides, he also has Miss Rong Liu as his cousin.
Although she, Rong Qiaoyan, didn't intend to take care of the follow-up matters, Master Lin didn't know.
Besides, Mr. Xin will definitely become a Jinshi in high school next year.
After listening to Rong Qiaoyan's words, Grandma Yang understood that she had no intention of continuing to interfere.
That's fine. If you help more, it may not be a good thing.
In this way, at the end of the ninth day of the lunar month, Grandma Yang went to Mr. Xin's home with great fanfare.
This movement was naturally noticed by the Lin family servants who were always paying attention to the situation.
On the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, Mr. Lin, who was in Xiu Mu's home, was informed by the housekeeper that Mr. Xin had come to propose marriage along with the official media and Miss Rong Liu's steward, Aunt Yang.
Mr. Lin, who had heard about Miss Rong's servant being strange in the past two days, naturally hurried to the front hall.
When Nanny Yang said that Mr. Xin was her aunt's nephew and that she happened to see him that day and went back to report to her aunt for confirmation, Master Lin became a little moved.
Grandma Yang also mentioned that her young lady attaches great importance to this cousin.
I heard that my cousin was coming to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage, so I specially asked her to accompany him on behalf of the young lady.
Aunt Yang also mentioned that Mr. Xin, who is very talented in literature, will definitely go to high school next year. If he goes to high school, he will definitely be admitted to the Hanlin Academy.
As soon as these words came out, it made Master Lin think too much.
How many people participate in the Spring Festival every year? Why, the boy from the Xin family is bound to win, could it be the Rong Mansion...
Mr. Lin didn't dare to think about what happened next. However, his heart became eager.
It would be a great honor to get into the Rong Mansion through Miss Rong Liu.
After all, Miss Rong Liu's father is the Minister of Civil Service.
This year's examination of meritorious service is done by the officials.
Especially for officials below the third rank, official positions are determined by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and reported to the cabinet and the emperor.
Normally, when the personnel department decides on the candidates, they are basically all approved.
Mr. Lin became more and more excited as he thought about it.
By the time Mrs. Lin arrived at the front hall after receiving the news, Mr. Lin had already agreed to the marriage.
Since Mr. Lin, as the head of the family, agreed, Mrs. Lin's objections were ineffective. What's more, she did not dare to blatantly object in front of Miss Rong Liu's personal nanny.
The marriage had been agreed, and at the instruction of Grandma Yang, Mr. Xin quickly started the process.
Because Mr. Xin was going to have his wedding in March next year, and because Master Lin wanted to see if the Rong Mansion would help Mr. Xin, the Six Rites were suspended only as far as the Nazheng ceremony.
Mr. Lin only said to wait until after spring before applying for an appointment.
However, now that the Geng Tie has been exchanged, the marriage is considered settled.
Therefore, Lin Wanqing and Mr. Xin slowly felt relieved.
Mr. Xin began to study attentively in preparation for next spring.
Lin Wanqing concentrated on embroidering her dowry and preparing for the wedding.

Today, as usual, there will be an update of 10,000 words.
Although the author said yesterday that he didn't want to check before posting, it seems he can't do it.
So I still need to revise the text.
