Chapter 018 Gifts
Lin Zimo, who wanted to explain it again, had time to speak, saw Nalan really turn around and run out, turn over her horse, crying and leaving. Standing still and seeing her far away, Lin Zimo had to shake his head and slowly approach his horse. He patted the horse on the neck, and then turned over and rode on it.
Wang Qiang, who was standing at the gate of the magistrate's office, saw that Lin Zimo came back safely, and then relieved his worried heart. You don't have to ask, you will know that his master will win, otherwise he will not show joy and come back unscathed. Lin Zimo, who got off the horse, handed the reins to Wang Qiang's hand and went straight in without saying much. Having no intention of continuing to deal with business, he returned to the flower hall and slowly sat down to rest.
Yang Mengqi, who heard a little wind, suddenly appeared in the flower hall, opened his left and right, and euphemistically expressed his thoughts: "Whether in Guangxi or Shaanxi, there will be no shortage of confidants around your father-in-law."
Lin Zimo, who picked up the tea and took a few sips, felt something in her words and said half jokingly and half seriously, "Is your wife jealous?"
Approaching Yang Mengqi, who belonged to his own chair, he sat down and said, "My father-in-law is so good at attracting bees and butterflies, so that if the slave family is really jealous, it must be sour to death. I can't wait for a little pepper-like woman to come to our house, which can just cure you, or my sister and the slave family will be bullied to death by you.
Lin Zimo, who understood the meaning of her words, put down the tea in his hand and said plainly with a faint smile, "Nalan and I have nothing to do? According to my husband, this is just a misunderstanding. I'm not blind. I can be regarded as an experienced person. I can see that this little girl is very interesting to Wenxuan.
I felt that Yang Mengqi was a little complicated and interesting. He sat upright and asked curiously, "Since Nalan really has affection for Wenxuan, why did he pester you? The slave family must be a foreign woman who lacks the cleanliness of our Han women. It is said that some of these foreigners are not reasonable.
Lin Zimo, who could hear that his wife showed some predeceptions about non-Han women, slowly explained, "Madam, don't misunderstand and misunderstand. Foreign women are not as colloued and shameless as you think. Nalan liked Wenxuan first, and her father seemed to intend to marry her to me, which led to this misunderstanding and contradiction. As a husband, he wants to be a gentleman to become a beauty, but Wenxuan refused to marry a foreign woman as his wife and concubine, and said that he had any ancestral teachings.
Yang Mengqi, who understood one and two, took a sip of tea and told her feudal etiquette seriously: "Since ancient times, marriage should have obeyed the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. Disobeying the orders of parents and without the words of a matchmaker is a combination that everyone spits on. Wenxuan's unwillingness to marry Nalanzhen is reasonable, and the woman promises herself to others is more polite.
Lin Zimo, who raised his head, stared at his wife and felt that she told her that men and women should fall in love freely, which was completely equivalent to nonsense and heresies. He is very clear about the formation of a person's inherent concept, not something that can be changed. After all, this kind of thing is deeply rooted in thought and can be said to be mixed with the soul.
Lin Zimo, who didn't want to talk about this problem with his wife anymore, was about to stand up and walk away, but saw Chu Hanlu jumping in. There was no free time in her mouth. While tasting snacks, she asked about the topic they were talking about with a smile. Yang Mengqi, who felt that a newcomer was coming at home, told her the whole thing. After all, when the newcomer entered the door, he had to toast tea to the Chu girl.
Chu Hanlu, who seemed to understand, said a few times, "Brother Zimo, I have no problem with who you want to let into the door. As long as she doesn't say that she is a born fool like Han Caiyi.
Hearing what his wife and concubine said, Lin Zimo really felt as if he really wanted to marry Na Lanzhen and enter his own house. Judging from the actual interests and situation, it is not a bad thing for him to marry her. After all, it is conducive to strengthening the relationship between himself and Nalan Jianye. My ultimate goal is to make these 11 tribes obedient and stabilize the situation here.
Seeing that Yang Mengqi, who did not speak, did not want to stop her husband from taking a concubine, he said, "Miss Nalan entered our house. The slave family and Miss Chu have the same opinion and have no opinion. Although she is a foreigner, she also has to abide by the rules of our Han people. If she enters our house and commits the provisions of the family law, I will not be soft. On this point, the slave family still hopes that her father-in-law will not condone and sympathize with her as an outsider to forgive her on this matter.
Chu Hanlu, who nodded vigorously, looked at Lin Zimo seriously and said, "My sister is very true. Since she will be spanked by Zi Moge if she is disobedient, she will also be punished if she is disobedient, otherwise it is unfair.
Lin Zimo, who shook his head, felt speechless and said, "If you are determined not to marry Nalan, you can enter the door. You don't have any opinions, do you?"
"Brother Zimo, don't say these cheap words to coax us. Unless this sister is ugly, it is possible. Chu Hanlu leaned against the chair and said with a serious look, "If you want to marry, marry our family. Anyway, she and her sister have no problem. It shouldn't make much difference for one more person to eat and one less person to eat.
I combed my long-haired Yang Mengqi, squeezed his lips and smiled, "See! Even the Chu girl didn't believe what you said, so I decided. The slave family went to choose an auspicious day for you, and then married this Nalan girl into our Linfu house. Take advantage of this period of time, I ordered people to clean up the western wing for you.
Chu Hanlu, Yang Mengqi is your words, and I opened my words. The more they talked, the happier they became, as if they had picked up a big bargain. Hearing Lin Zimo's bitter smile after another. However, I still encourage and appreciate this stable and united atmosphere. As for whether he really wants to take Nalan as his third room, he still hasn't made up his final decision.
After two consecutive days, Nalan Jianye waited for a door-to-door visit. Lin Zimo treated him with the gift of his master, invited him into his government office, and ordered the boy to watch tea for him. In my opinion, it is difficult for the two of them to have a true friendship. After all, the starting point, position and the interests of the representatives are different. Although Lin Zimo believes that the integration of all ethnic groups is better than the confrontation of all ethnic groups, the ideal is very full, and the reality seems to be a little backbone.
Nalan Jianye, who sat down, drank tea and slowly said that it was no longer an exciting secret: "I feel that I am very speculative with you. I want to marry the little girl Nalan to you. I don't know what to do?"
Lin Zimo picked up the tea beside him and didn't feel too surprised. He wanted to retreat and said, "Nalan leader, you should know that I already have a wife and a concubine. I love them very much, so I will definitely not divorce them. If Nalan really wants to enter my Lin's house, she has to be the third lady. I know she is the apple of your eye, and I'm sure you won't let her suffer so much.
Nalan Jianye, which has been weighed for a long time, must be supported by foreign aid in order to grow his tribe, and he also has to pay something. In his opinion, his daughter should make certain sacrifices for the tribe. It's a real thing that he loves Nalan, and it's another thing that makes her a bridge to strengthen and close the relationship between her hands. After all, women in this era have become more of a "gift" given to each other by men.
"Although the little girl's personality is a little wild, everything else is excellent. If a man like you can take charge of it, it will definitely change. First come, first come, which is also the rule. Even if she can only serve your concubine, it is her honor. Nalan Jianye worked hard to promote his daughter.
Lin Zimo, who also wants to pull his tribe to his side, knows that although Zhao Wenxuan's more than 1,000 officers and troops are full, he has not really formed combat effectiveness. At present, in addition to gaining more time, I still need other help. He is most worried that once the situation here changes greatly, it will be difficult to wait for the army of the imperial court to calm down. I learned early that the Mongolian Manjun tribe was very uneasy.
Lin Zimo had already thought about maturity in advance. In order to relieve the unprecedented pressure he faced, he said, "If Miss Nalan has no objection, I will suffer it, and I'm afraid of wronging her."
Hearing that Nalan Jianye had been agreed by the other party, he laughed cheerfully and said, "I'm not wronged, but it should be a blessing for the little girl."
Lin Zimo explained plainly, "Since the leader of Nalan is loyal to the court, I believe that the court will not treat you badly. In addition to the appropriate relaxation of the salt and iron you need, the number of horse trades will also increase accordingly. If your tribe is meritorious to the country, I believe your majesty will not hesitate to reward you.
Nalan Jianye, who likes to talk to smart people, heard the meaning of the other party's words, so he felt that the young man in front of him would be a good choice to marry him, and his daughter really did not understand the painstaking efforts of being a father and tribal leader, and vowed to express her loyalty. He said, "It's reasonable to serve the court."
Lin Zimo, who picked up the tea, had to make such a choice and smiled and said, "I will give you a cup of tea instead of wine. In the future, we will be relatives who should take care of each other.
