In the evening, Lin Jia's reply came, telling him that the Huaiyin Palace's marriage was extremely good, adding on that the Huaiyin's personality was pure and good, although he did not have much achievements in the field, but for this kind of young master, if he knew how to read, it would just be adding flowers, and even if he did not know how to read, it did not matter, as he could still find an official position relying on his ancestor Meng Yin.
Taking a step back, if Huaiyin really knew how to read, then the marriage wouldn't even fall onto Lin Hui.
First Madam was relieved and happy. She only wanted to send someone to talk to the matchmaker tomorrow, but the servant girl next to her reminded her, ”Madam, do you want to tell Third Miss about this as well?”
There was no reason for this rich family to inform their daughter of the marriage, but when First Madam thought about Lin Hui's personality, she gave an order: ”Then send someone to call Third Miss over!”
She felt that her daughter, like her, would be satisfied with this marriage.
But who would have known that the moment Lin Hui came in, before First Madam had even finished speaking, she said with her head held up high, ”I won't marry. I won't marry Huaiyin even if I die. Huaiyin … What, what's so good about him? ”
First Madam panicked and quickly said: ”You've never seen Huaiyin before, how do you know that it's not good? Even though he couldn't read, his character was upright. Once you marry him, you will become an unmarried woman, and when that time comes, Sister Qian will still have to pay respects to you! At that time, there will be no mother-in-law, and no in-laws. As long as we can live a good life with Huaiyin, there will be no trouble at all … ”
”I won't marry, I won't marry anyway! I won't marry anyone no matter what! ” Lin Hui had never seen the Huaiyin before, but even if she had, she would not be able to remember.
Now she just sat on the brick bed, looking like a fish out of water, ”When my sister got married, I still remember what you said. You said you wanted to find a good marriage for me, so why did you forget about it now that someone came to propose marriage? I'm afraid I can't get married! ”
”Child, what nonsense are you spouting? It's not like there are no people better than the Huaiyin in proposing marriage, but I thought that those families were very complicated, you couldn't handle it, and didn't even ask you, but you, how can you say such things? ” First Madam was furious. After drinking half a cup of tea, she felt the anger in her heart dissipate a little, and said patiently: ”Now that you are almost your age, if you don't get married soon, you will become an old lady. Don't mix with Sister Shu all day, you don't even have to worry about your own marriage anymore! No one comes to Sister Shu to propose marriage, so you are different from her. Can it be that you are really the same as her, staying in the palace and acting like an old lady for your entire life? ”
Originally, she felt some pity for Lin Shu. However, because of Lin Shu, her eldest daughter was now even less welcomed by the First Princess Pingning, so why would she treat him as her own daughter?
Since Lin Hui could not win against the First Madam, she might as well keep her mouth shut. In the end, she could only say one thing, no matter what, she would not marry!
But, First Madam was furious. On the second day, she went over to Grand Madam, who also called Lin Hui over. She patiently said: ”... Why don't you want to marry? But before this, when she saw the Huaiyin, did she not like him? Or have you heard what nonsense he did? If he is someone who cannot be married off, then Grandmother will be the first one to not agree to such a marriage! ”
The older the better, the more she asked.
Lin Hui also hadn't slept well that night, and beneath her eyelids was a patch of purple. Currently, she didn't have the slightest bit of spirit, as she shook her head and said: ”That, I don't have.”
Grand Madam laughed and said, ”Then are you afraid of getting married? Relax, the people in the Huaiyin Palace are all extremely friendly, otherwise, I would not be able to relax and marry you. Your character is just like a spiteful monkey, if you marry into someone else's house, I would not be able to rest at ease … ”
After a long while, Lin Hui shook her head again, ”I don't know … Anyway, I just don't want to get married. ”
Grand Madam had lived for so long, and had seen so many things. Now, his heart thumped, as he had an ominous premonition, ”Then does our Sis Hui'er have a lover …”
”No way!” Lin Hui raised her head, looked panicked, and explained loudly: ”No, Grandmother, do not, do not speak nonsense!”
This was the one he truly loved!
The Grand Madam knew that it was bad, Lin Hui could not be compared to Lin Jia and the rest, even if they truly had someone they liked, they would obediently marry for Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but Lin Hui was different, she had been spoiled bad by the First Madam since young, if she had someone in her heart, it would be equivalent to talking nonsense, ”I also came from the Huaiyin at your age, how can I not know your thoughts? Furthermore, before your elder sister's marriage, I have told your mother before that your marriage does not seek to be rich, nor do you seek to be a family member.
Even if I wanted to help you, I don't know how I can help you. You also know that right now, I'm not very well, and I don't know how to protect you for a few more days. If you don't tell me the truth, then even I don't know how to speak up in front of your mother … You should know your mother's temper as well. Even if I wanted to, I was unable to stop your brother's marriage.
Lin Hui was slightly moved, although her grandmother was initially too heartless to the Sister Shu, it seemed like she had no one else other than her grandmother to trust.
