Chapter 442: Random Matchmaking
Lin Zhiqing thought about it and asked Chao Yan to spread the news that Marquis Changning had returned to the capital.
We must take this opportunity to see what other monsters are there among the officials in the capital.
After arranging matters outside, Lin Zhiqing welcomed the Lu family into the house, and the Lin family began their feast.
The Lin and Lu families, along with Yan Yu, filled up the entire table.
Lin Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief before raising his glass.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. He just raised his head and drank the glass of wine.
His old friend Lu Zhen beside him also raised his glass and drank.
Then, Lin Qingshan looked at Yan Wu and raised his glass from a distance:
"Yan Yu, I am a rough man. I won't talk about gold and silver. The door of the Lin family will always be open to you. Zheng Kuo and you have both been wronged."
These words are not filled with fancy words, but they are very real.
Yan Wu laughed heartily:
"My Lord, you are a man of sentimental character, so I won't be polite. If you always have such good wine, I will definitely come to your house every day."
"How are you any different now than when you came here every day?" Lin Yangyang asked while eating a chicken leg.
"Yangyang! Rules!" Lin Congli glared at Lin Yangyang.
Yan Yu made a face at Lin Yangyang beside him: "Rules!"
Lin Yangyang curled her lips and said nothing more.
Lin Qingshan waved his hand:
"According to etiquette, today is a family dinner. Why bother with so many rules? Yangyang girl has a straightforward personality. There's nothing wrong with her."
Lin Yangyang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Grandfather, you are still good to me."
Because of this little episode, the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.
Lin Qingshan hadn't been back to the capital for a long time, and with his old friends by his side, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine.
Seeing the younger generation sitting below, he felt very proud:
"When Qing went to Bianliang earlier, I knew that the Lin family had made the right choice as the head of the family!"
"Now I see that although I am old, my vision is still good."
Lu Zhen nodded: "Zhiqing is not an easy child. He is brave and careful. I am really surprised that he has come this far."
"Yangyang and Shi'an are both highly skilled in martial arts and have a bright future."
"The Lin family has a successor!"
"Uncle Lu, you are too kind. If it weren't for Nanyue and Lu Huai's help, we wouldn't have been so successful." Lin Zhiqing raised his glass.
When dining at the same table with elders, the scene can easily turn into a large-scale mutual praise event, and Lin Zhiqing is well aware of this.
"They are all good children, all good children." Lin Qingshan waved his hand and smiled:
"The more I look at Nanyue and Lu Huai, the more I like them. Brother Lu, my Lin family might be able to become in-laws with your Lu family!"
"cough!"
We’re talking about marriage so soon… Lin Zhiqing was choked and decided to add a little more.
When you eat at the same table with your elders, the scene can easily turn into a large-scale blind date.
When she looked up, she saw Yan Yu looking at her with an expression that looked like he deserved a beating.
Yan Wu cleared his throat: "Skull... ahem, why is Zhiqing so excited?"
Lin Zhiqing caught a glimpse of Lu Huai looking at him and smiled softly: "This wine is too strong, I accidentally choked."
Hearing this, Lin Yangyang and the others smiled meaningfully but said nothing.
"Qing girl is not in good health. She couldn't drink much in the past, and she needs to drink less now." Lin Qingshan didn't think too much about it and believed what Lin Zhiqing said.
"Yes, grandfather." Lin Zhiqing was rarely flustered and just replied casually.
Fortunately, Lin Qingshan didn't care. He continued the previous topic, looked at Lu Zhen and said:
"Among the three children of the Lin family, Yangyang's marriage worries me the most. I think she and Lu Huai are a perfect match."
"cough!"
Before Lu Zhen could speak, he heard a burst of coughing.
Obviously, more than one person was choked.
Lin Yangyang stood up quickly: "No, no, no, no, no, grandpa, absolutely not!"
She waved her hands as she spoke, her refusal very obvious.
Seeing this, Lin Congli couldn't help but speak:
"Yangyang is a bit wild and needs two years to calm down. Lu Huai is calm and has a bright future. He's worth considering."
This statement implies an explanation. It doesn't mean that Lin Yangyang looks down on Lu Huai, but that the target is wrong!
The expression on Yan Yu's face was very interesting. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have laughed out loud.
It’s lively, really lively.
Lu Huai glanced at Lin Zhiqing, stood up and prepared to speak.
Lin Zhiqing's pupils shrank. Lu Huai wouldn't ask for marriage, right?
Although she has Lu Huai in her heart, isn't it too fast now?
She wants to build her career first!
But if we get married...it seems like that's okay?
Bah! Lin Zhiqing, what are you thinking about?
Just when Lin Zhiqing was confused, Lu Huai smiled lightly:
"Thank you for your kindness, my Lord. I have only just been promoted to the Minister of Revenue, so it is too early for me to get married."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing felt slightly relieved.
Then, there was some surprise.
Although she did not resist, she also felt that it was too early to get married.
The younger generation of the Lin family has not yet fully grown up. She is the head of the Lin family. If she marries into the Lu family, the Lin family will be in trouble again.
Lu Huai thought very carefully and thoroughly. He knew Lin Zhiqing very well, so he was the first to step forward and politely decline the marriage proposal.
Lu Zhen glanced at Lu Huai and nodded with a smile:
"Old Man Lin, I would like to become a relative of the Lin family, but let the children make the decision."
Lin Qingshan stroked his beard:
"Yangyang and Lu Huai have no interest in each other, so forget it. I previously thought Nanyue and Shi'an were a good match."
When Lin Shian heard this, his face showed no expression, but his hand unconsciously clenched the wine glass.
Lu Nanyue glanced at Lin Shian and lowered her head.
Then, Lin Qingshan spoke again, his tone was quite regretful:
"But Brother Lu is right. Children should make their own decisions."
"Back then, I was the one who arranged Congli's marriage, but I never worried about the other children."
“It’s different now than it was before.”
When mentioning Lin Congrong and his wife, his tone became a little depressed.
Perhaps because he had drunk some wine, he began to talk about the past.
When Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Qingshan, who had some white hair on his head, he was surprised to realize that he was an old man over fifty years old.
He had always been in high spirits before, making people forget that he was an old man who had lost his son and had his power taken away.
"Father, you are drunk." Seeing that Lin Qingshan was getting emotional, Lin Congli spoke up to remind him.
Lin Qingshan waved his hand and said nothing.
He is sad.
No one in the entire Lin family has it easy.
But the person who suffered the most in these years must be Lin Qingshan.
Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Old Lin, you've had too much to drink."
"I went to Dingzhou this time and brought back a fine silver spear. Come with me to take a look."
"Silver spear? My spear is old. Let's go and take a look!"
The two of them left the room one after another.
Lin Zhiqing clearly saw that Lin Qingshan's eyes were red.
Lu Zhen was just helping his grandfather out of trouble.
Like Lu Huai, Lu Zhen is an extremely careful and considerate person.
