Chapter 137: County Magistrate Sun's New Wife
The Lin family drove the spacious carriage to the county.
In the car were Mrs. Song, her two daughters-in-law, and her daughter Lin Zhiyi. In addition, Mrs. Fang also went with them.
The person driving the carriage was Lin Xiuyan.
When I walked out of the house and into the village, many villagers greeted me, and some even stopped the carriage.
"Lin Jia Erlang, are you going to the county? Can you give me a ride?"
Lin Xiuyan looked up and saw a woman in her forties, wearing a coarse linen dress and with her hair neatly combed.
"Aunt Zhao, this..."
Lin Xiuyan was in a dilemma for a moment. There was indeed room on the carriage, but he didn't want anyone else to get on.
Mrs. Song lifted the carriage curtain and said, "It's the sister-in-law of the Zhao family. We are going to the county. Please get in."
Mrs. Song knew that since the Lin family had settled in the village, they had to maintain good relations with the villagers.
The same was true when she was in Chang'an. She often attended various banquets hosted by noble ladies and was very sociable.
But after coming to Xishui Village, she stayed at home all day and had little interaction with the women in the village.
She had met this sister-in-law of the Zhao family twice.
After Aunt Zhao got on the carriage, several other people got on, all women.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he was attracted by the spacious carriage and was extremely envious. "This carriage is so spacious."
In their village, no more than three families have horse-drawn carriages, and a few others use ox-drawn and donkey-drawn carts.
Buy a cow and use it to work in the fields.
Buy a donkey and use it to pull a millstone.
Comparatively speaking, these two are more cost-effective.
It was the first time they saw the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. She was beautiful, just like the daughter of the Lin family, with skin as white as snow and a glow from within.
It wasn't just the Lin family who were exiled. Everyone who had been exiled was tanned, unlike them.
The two girls stared at them with envy, and finally couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law Lin, what did you use on your face? How come your skin is so good?"
Without waiting for the two sisters-in-law to answer, Lin Zhiyi replied: "My two sisters-in-law are naturally beautiful. They are the kind of people who can't get tanned. The more they sunbathe, the whiter they become."
Gu Wanyun and Fang Luo also nodded repeatedly.
Of course they wouldn't tell anyone. The aunt gave them sunscreen on the way, and after arriving at the exile place, she gave them some skin care products. They recovered in a few days.
The skin on their faces was even better than when they were in Chang'an.
I like this girl more and more.
The two women felt a little regretful. Why didn't they have such naturally good skin?
If they were whiter, who knows, they might be noticed by some young man in the county.
And Aunt Zhao would look at Lin Zhiyi from time to time.
After looking at her several times, she finally spoke: "Aunt, I heard that Miss Lin has not yet found a husband. I have a good match for you."
Aunt Zhao is usually impetuous and her voice is loud enough to shatter tea bowls, but when she is in front of Mrs. Song, her tongue seems to be tied and even her back unconsciously bends three points.
Others wearing silk and satin look like clothes covering themselves, but even if Mrs. Lin wears coarse linen clothes, she looks like a pearl covered in dust, which cannot hide her inherent nobility.
Mrs. Song glanced at her daughter and said, "Oh? Sister-in-law Zhao, please tell me about it."
She didn't think Aunt Zhao would have a good marriage.
But the Lin family is already in this situation, and their daughter is getting married for the second time. If there is a good marriage, they can consider it.
"It is my husband's eldest brother's son, Zhao Zhiyuan. He is a scholar and now he is a scholar."
Zhao Zhiyuan was studying in the county. When he returned to the village that day, Lin Zhiyi happened to pass by in a horse-drawn carriage. After asking, he found out that Lin Zhiyi was a new resident of the village.
I also heard that Lin Zhiyi was very capable. Although she looked delicate, she was more skillful than her two brothers in doing farm work.
Zhao Zhiyuan was moved and asked Aunt Zhao for help.
Mrs. Song was moved when she heard this.
The Lin family is afraid that there is no hope in this life, and their daughter is getting married for the second time. If she can marry a scholar, it would be considered marrying up.
Seeing that there were too many people in the carriage, and they all seemed to be listening attentively, Mrs. Song said, "Sister-in-law Zhao, let's talk about it after we get back from the county."
Aunt Zhao reacted immediately after hearing this, and she cursed herself for bringing up this matter in front of so many people.
If this thing succeeds, it will be fine. If it fails, it will be bad for both of their families if the news gets out.
She quickly changed the subject, "Aunt Lin, are you going to the county to attend the market this time?"
"Sister Zhao, my last name is Song, so just call me Sister Song. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, let's go buy some ingredients to make rice dumplings."
"Haha, me too. Let's go the same way then."
…
Although the two did not mention it again, everyone in the carriage heard it.
The way they looked at Lin Zhiyi changed. Zhao Zhiyuan actually fell in love with her?
She was still a criminal when she got married for the first and second time. Apart from her pretty face, she was not worthy of the scholar.
Sure enough, men in this world still look at appearance.
Lin Zhiyi also heard the conversation between Madam Song and Aunt Zhao just now. She thought that she would explain it clearly to her mother when she got home so that she wouldn't have to worry about her lifelong affairs.
After another cup of tea, we arrived at the county town.
Everyone asked the Lin family if they could still take the Lin family's carriage when they go back. Mrs. Song agreed and would wait for everyone at the city gate at noon.
Everyone in Xishui Village got off the carriage, and the Lin family's carriage also drove towards the city.
Because Aunt Zhao was also buying ingredients for making rice dumplings and was traveling the same way as the Lin family, she did not get off the carriage.
Because of the festival, the city became lively and there were more people on the streets than usual.
The grain and oil shop not only sells glutinous rice, but also all kinds of ingredients needed for making rice dumplings. Aunt Zhao got off the carriage, Mrs. Song and her two daughters-in-law also got off the carriage, and Mother Fang also got off.
"Mom, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you in the carriage."
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi was the only one left in the carriage.
Lin Zhiyi took off the white jade hairpin and saw that it was of good quality. She guessed that it was worth a lot of money. Lin Zhiyi was afraid of losing it in the county, so she played with it for a while and then put it into the space.
"Move aside, please, move aside, you're courting death... Don't you know this is the county lieutenant's carriage?"
When pedestrians on the road heard the sound, they hurriedly made way.
But he couldn't help cursing, "County Magistrate Sun's new wife is truly overbearing, speeding through the city without a care in the world."
Lin Zhiyi heard it.
County Magistrate Sun? Isn't that the man the heroine Mu Yunzhao married before her reincarnation?
The new wife? It definitely won't be Mu Yunzhao. Mu Yunzhao was reborn, how could she repeat the same mistakes?
Lin Zhiyi lightly lifted the curtain of the carriage. Coincidentally, a carriage passed by in the opposite direction. The wind lifted the gauze curtain. She recognized the person in the carriage at a glance and was stunned for a moment.
