Chapter 59 Blessings
Miss Wei Si was a little confused and didn't understand why Shen Wan said this to her.
She has no relationship with the Prince of Quchenghou, and she doesn't like him. It sounds as if she will marry the Prince of Quchenghou.
Miss Wei Si wanted to ask clearly, but Shen Wan had already left.
Miss Wei Si has a straightforward personality, and Chen Wan really can't bear to see her follow in the same footsteps as in her previous life.
In her previous life, before the incident at the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Miss Wei Si had already married the prince of Quchenghou. It was said that the evidence used to convict the Duke of Wei was presented by the prince of Quchenghou.
The Duke of Wei's mansion was ransacked and the family was exiled. As a married woman, Miss Wei Si could have been spared from involvement. However, when the incident occurred, the prince of Marquis Qucheng divorced his wife, and Miss Wei Si followed the Duke of Wei into exile, where she died on the way.
Chen Wan didn't know when Miss Wei Si and the Prince of Qu Chenghou got engaged, but she reminded her first, and Miss Wei Si would definitely take it to heart. There were so many young men from noble families in Kyoto, and it wasn't necessary for her to marry the Prince of Qu Chenghou. Marriage was a lifelong matter, and it was better to miss it than to marry the wrong one.
The wife of Duke Weiguo sent Yun and Shen Wan out of the house.
After getting on the carriage, Yun said to Shen Wan, "Teacher Lin's residence is not far away. Please accompany me to pay my respects to Old Madam Lin."
Shen Wan nodded obediently.
Shen Ji and Yun Shi had great respect for Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin, and would bring Shen Wan to pay their respects to them almost every month.
Old Taifu Lin is the mentor of the current emperor, who is deeply trusted by the emperor. He is also Shen Ji's mentor.
It can be said that Shen Ji’s current achievements are all due to the wise teaching of Master Lin.
When he was young, Chen Ji was spoiled by the old lady and became a complete playboy. Whenever the old man scolded Chen Ji, the old lady would cry about her elder sister who died early, and the old man could not control Chen Ji.
Chen Ji had a bad reputation and caused trouble everywhere. The old master could not beat or scold him. Once, he complained to the old tutor Lin and asked for advice on how to discipline his son. The old tutor Lin said, whether sincerely or to comfort the old master, that Chen Ji was a rough diamond. When the old master heard this, he immediately prepared a generous gift, took Shen Ji to the Lin Mansion, and begged the old tutor Lin to accept him.
Although the old man has several sons, Shen Ji is his legitimate son after all. If he is not disciplined, he will really be ruined.
The old master persuaded Master Lin for half a month before Master Lin agreed to accept Shen Ji.
Shen Ji was completely transformed under the guidance of Old Tutor Lin. If it weren't for Old Tutor Lin, who knows what Shen Ji would be like today. Shen Ji valued gratitude and often accompanied Old Tutor Lin to play chess and fish during his days off. Yun also often came to pay her respects to Old Madam Lin.
The carriage went around two streets and arrived at Lin's mansion.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Chen Wan saw the gilded plaque, sparkling in the sunlight.
Old Tutor Lin is the only one in the court who is trusted and respected by the emperor, but is not envied or jealous.
Not only is Old Tutor Lin the emperor's mentor, but Old Tutor Lin has no sons. Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin only have one daughter, who has been dead for sixteen years.
Nineteen years ago, the current emperor had not yet been appointed as the crown prince. There was someone else who was the eldest son of the current empress dowager.
The late emperor arranged a marriage for Lin Lao Taifu's daughter, Cheng Zhu, to marry the prince. But on the wedding night, the wedding wine was poisoned and the prince drank it and died on the spot.
The daughter of Old Tutor Lin became a widow on the day of her wedding, and was changed from the Crown Princess to the Princess of Jin. Three years later, the Prince of Jin's mansion caught fire and the Princess of Jin was burned to death.
Old Tutor Lin was devastated by the loss of his beloved daughter and wanted to retire at one point, but the emperor would not agree no matter what. In order to keep Old Tutor Lin in the court, the emperor allowed him to sit in the morning court and even not go if he did not want to.
There are only two people living in the Lin Mansion: Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin. Although the mansion is spacious and grand, it cannot hide the feeling of desolation.
Madam Lin was one year younger than the old lady, but her hair was already mostly white. Seeing Yun and Shen Wan, Madam Lin was very happy. Without waiting for Shen Wan to salute, she waved and said, "Come and sit next to me."
Shen Wan walked forward and sat down next to Old Madam Lin. Old Madam Lin's eyes were full of curiosity. "I haven't seen you for a while. Wan'er has become more beautiful."
Yun said, "It's been a while since I brought Wan'er to pay my respects to you and the old tutor."
Old Madam Lin looked at Shen Wan, but Shen Wan always felt that Old Madam Lin was looking at her, but not really looking at her.
It was a very strange feeling, as if I was looking at another person through her.
Whenever she looked at her, Mrs. Lin's eyes would turn red and there would be longing in her eyes.
Madam Lin withdrew her hand from touching Chen Wan's face and looked at Yun. "Why didn't you bring Yu'er with you? I haven't seen her for more than half a year. She has suffered so much. Is she okay?"
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin had no children, so they treated Shen Ji as their own son, and Shen Li and Shen Yu as their own grandchildren, loving them very much.
The love that Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin showed was not superficial like the old lady's. It was not fake at all. When Shen Li got married and Shen Yu got married, Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin gave them a lot of things. Especially when Shen Wan got married, Old Master Lin gave her 64 loads of dowry, half of which were books, calligraphy and paintings collected by Old Master Lin, which were of inestimable value.
Yun Shi explained Chen Yu's situation and then explained, "Wan'er insisted on accompanying me to the Duke of Wei's residence to apologize. The Lin residence is close, so I thought of bringing Wan'er to pay her respects to you."
The news that the Second Master replaced his niece with his own illegitimate daughter spread throughout Kyoto, and Madam Lin naturally heard about it as well.
Madam Lin couldn't say anything about the Duke Dingguo's family affairs, so she changed the subject and said, "The Emperor has arranged for Wan'er to marry the Prince of Jingbei. The old tutor was very happy and kept praising the two of them for being a perfect match. The old tutor has always been an accurate judge of people. He has said more than once that the Prince of Jingbei will achieve no less than the Prince of Jingbei in the future."
Old Master Lin is really good at judging people.
In his previous life, Xie Jingyu pulled Xiao Yun down from the dragon throne, and was considered the founding emperor. There is no higher achievement than this.
Yun smiled and said, "The Prince of Jingbei can receive such praise from the old tutor. It is absolutely right for Wan'er to marry him."
Madam Lin smiled and said, "It is also a blessing for Prince Jingbei to marry Wan'er."
Whenever Yun brought Chen Wan to the Lin residence, she would always have a meal with Old Madam Lin before leaving, and today was no exception.
With Yun and Shen Wan by her side, Mrs. Lin was so happy that she ate half an extra bowl of lunch.
After lunch, they sat for a while and then said goodbye.
Watching them leave, Madam Lin's eyes turned red. Mother Chen asked, "Madam..."
Madam Lin wiped her eyes and said, "I'm fine. It's just a pity that the old tutor and I are not blessed. We have no sons or grandchildren in this life. It would be great if we could marry Wan'er back to be my grandson's wife."
"Wan'er's eyes are exactly like Qingyin's. When I see her, I always feel that Qingyin is still alive."
