Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 34、Ms. Zhuo’s Extra Story: Shaohua is Full of Love (6)

During the days when Fu Zheng wasn't there, Zhuo Lin rarely felt a little bored.

Of course this boredom doesn't matter, she's really busy after all.

In this era, a young girl who wants to rely on herself to gain a foothold in society can't always let herself live too leisurely. Whether it's school or work, she's so busy that she doesn't have time to think about other things. For her, the troubles will only add to the trouble.

But she doesn't want to ask for trouble, but trouble comes automatically.

The moment she saw someone she hadn't seen for a long time at the gate of Jingcheng University, Zhuo Lin knew that her leisurely days were over.

"Find a place with no one." The person who spoke to her was a graceful and dignified woman in her forties. She was wearing luxurious clothes and her hair was neatly combed. It's just that she looked at Zhuo Lin with very indifferent eyes, as if she was looking at an inferior product that made her very dissatisfied.

She was accompanied by two young people, also frowning at Zhuo Lin, obviously not very happy.

Zhuolin was silent for a moment before she said lightly, "Come with me."

Zhuo Lin knows her mother and will never argue with her in such a public place. After all, the Sheng family's reputation is above everything else.

Rather than take them to her dormitory, Zhuo Lin went to a teahouse near the school that she frequented.

I asked for a wing room to go in, and when the guy who delivered the tea came down, the woman said coldly, "Kneel down!"

Zhuo Lin was slightly startled, but she didn't kneel down as Madam Sheng said, but asked calmly, "Mother, just tell me if you have anything."

Bang!

Mrs. Sheng slapped the table and said coldly, "How dare you say it! Do you know how much trouble you have caused the Sheng family!"

Zhuo Lin didn't care and smiled lightly, "I didn't cause trouble, I settled the marriage contract with the Zhang family ahead of time, and outsiders didn't even know that we had discussed marriage with the Zhang family, and I didn't run away from the marriage, so there was no influence. As for the reputation of the Sheng family girl, Zhang Xiang's personality will not make it difficult for the Sheng family. By so-called trouble, you probably mean that the Sheng family cannot benefit from this marriage?"

"Let's go!"

"Little sister!" The young man standing beside Mrs. Sheng also looked a little ugly, "This time you have gone too far, and you won't apologize to your mother!"

Zhuo Lin shook her head and looked at the young man with some regret, "Brother, I understand that you want to be an official. The examination room is there, and even though the Sheng family is in decline, it won't be able to afford a few scholars."

Hearing this, the young man blushed immediately. Staring at Zhuo Lin, she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhuo Lin's voice was calm and indifferent, "You know whether I'm talking nonsense, eldest brother, and we all know why you married eldest sister into the Wei family."

Mrs. Sheng said sharply, "I'm doing it for Ayan's good!"

Zhuolin smiled lightly, "Have you asked the eldest sister? Does she want to marry into the Wei family? Is she comfortable in the Wei family now?"

“…”

Zhuolin raised her eyes and met Mrs. Sheng without evading, "Mother, you already knew that you couldn't manipulate me, so why bother."

Mrs. Sheng sneered, "The matchmaker's words are justifiable for children's marriage, parents' orders, what if I want to?"

Zhuo Lin said, "Last time I dealt with the Zhang family in advance, but it doesn't mean that I don't dare to escape from the marriage at the wedding or see blood in the wedding night. If mother wants to bet on me, you might as well try. You care about the reputation of the Sheng family, but I don't care."

"Nie Barrier!" Madam Sheng's face turned ashen, she pointed at Zhuo Lin and said, "Do you really think I can't do anything about you? Let's try it."

Zhuo Lin felt a little helpless, but her own mother and daughter became like enemies.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do what her mother wanted anyway.

The Sheng family was indeed in decline, but the thin dead camel was bigger than a horse, and Mrs. Sheng's revenge came quickly.

The next day, Zhuo Lin received a notice that she had been fired from the publishing house where she was working.

In this regard, Zhuo Lin only felt that it was not surprising that she could not laugh or cry.

Since ancient times, there have been many scholars in Jiangnan, and the influence of the Sheng family in Jiangnan is still not small. More than half of these publishing houses in the capital are from Jiangnan, and it is only natural for Mrs. Sheng to persuade the other party to dismiss her.

After all, in the eyes of most people, this belongs to the Sheng family's own conflicts. Ordinary people understand the truth of not getting involved in other people's family affairs.

Just because of this, Zhuo Lin had to find another job.

She lives in the school dormitory, and although it doesn't cost much, she can't sit still. However, Zhuo Lin is not very worried about her situation. Mrs. Sheng can't stay in the capital all the time, she always has to leave.

She is even less likely to run around with her. If the capital can't stay any longer, won't she leave?

But Mrs. Sheng obviously thinks that her operation has stumped Zhuo Lin, especially after knowing that Zhuo Lin has been rejected for two consecutive job searches, she even appears in front of Zhuo Lin with a lofty pride Another sneer at her.

Zhuolin was sitting in a narrow room, flipping through a book, hearing Madam Sheng's chattering voice.

"Look at your shabby house, it's not as big as the room where our inferior girl lives." After mocking her daughter for a while, Mrs. Sheng began to pick on her place, "and this clothes... if you Being the second miss of the Sheng family, where would you wear such inferior fabrics? Ah Yan has never touched such inferior things in her life.”

Zhuolin looked down at the clothes on her body. The poor quality was not ordinary.

Of course, compared with Mrs. Sheng's finely crafted clothes, it can only be called inferior.

Zhuolin raised her head and asked calmly, "How many years of the Sheng family's property are enough for you to wear clothes like this?"

"You!" Mrs. Sheng's face changed suddenly, the Sheng family was already in a situation of sitting on the mountain many years ago. If Sheng Zhuoyan had not received a large betrothal gift from the Wei family when she got married, now the Sheng family would not be able to maintain such a pretense as it is now.

Mrs. Sheng stared at Zhuo Lin for a long time before snorting softly: "I found a good marriage for you, and you will go with me tomorrow to meet people. Your days in the capital are not in vain. Wait, there are still many people who are willing to marry you. Don't you want to go back to Jiangnan? You can stay in the capital in the future."

"No." Zhuo Lin picked up the book on the table, opened it and continued to read, while answering lightly.

Mrs. Sheng said coldly, "If you don't go, you have to go!"

Zhuolin is a little funny, "You know I won't listen to you, why bother yourself?"

Mrs. Sheng said: "If you don't go, I will bring people to school to find you."

Zhuolin was silent, Madam Sheng looked at her and suddenly said: "I heard that there were rumors in the capital that you have a great relationship with Your Majesty? If you can enter the palace as a concubine, I will naturally not force you, but unfortunately..." Mrs. Sheng's face showed a bit of ridicule, "In the capital these days, I think the royal family doesn't mean that to you either. I told you a long time ago that the reputation of a girl's family is the most important thing, and it is especially important to the rich and powerful. You Do you think it's good for others to hold you? Those sons and brothers are just coaxing you to play, who would really marry you and go back to be the main house? I would like to marry you in an open and honest way, lest something happen in the future to disgrace my Sheng family."

Zhuolin said lightly, "If you don't come here, who would know my surname Sheng?"

Mrs. Sheng got a little impatient, stood up and said coldly: "Anyway, you must go tomorrow, and now you can stay at the school safely, that's why I want to leave a good name for you and find a husband's family. If you insist on disobeying me... you might as well try to see if I can keep you from staying in the capital!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

In this cramped and cramped room, she felt that she had tarnished her dignity by staying for a quarter of an hour.

Zhuolin took a deep breath, "You are really my mother."

Mrs. Sheng sneered, "I am not only your mother, but also Mrs. Sheng. As long as I live for one day, no one can ruin the reputation of the Sheng family."

Destroyed the reputation of the Sheng family? Is it against your intention, so that the Sheng family can't profit from it?

Zhuolin looked at her back as she walked out of the room and murmured, "I mean... it's not only you who can fight fiercely, you can, and I can."

The trick Zhuo Lin prepared to deal with Mrs. Sheng's forced blind date didn't work, because the other party of the blind date went back one step ahead.

Joelin is not ashamed of this, nor does she think there is anything wrong with the other party's refusal to date her.

Only a few days later, Mrs. Sheng once again led someone to stop Zhuo Lin outside the school, with a rare look of anger on her face.

"What the **** did you do?!" Mrs. Sheng asked sharply.

Zolin blinked, as if she didn't do anything.

"What's the matter?" Zolyn asked.

Mrs. Sheng gritted her teeth and said, "You just have to fight against me, don't you? Is it not for your own good that I arranged a blind date for you?"

Zhuolin said lightly: "Thank you, it's not necessary."

Mrs. Sheng sneered, "I don't know what you did to make no one in the entire capital want to marry you. But since you are shameless yourself, don't blame me for being cruel! Take it away!"

Mrs. Sheng winked at several people around her, and several men accompanying her, including Zhuo Lin's eldest brother, immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Little sister, don't make trouble, don't make the mother angry. We are also for your own good." Brother Sheng persuaded in a good voice.

Zhuo Lin looked at this elder brother coldly and didn't reply. Big Brother Sheng was a little annoyed by her, "What good is it for you to make a fuss like this? You are still the daughter of the Sheng family, even if the Sheng family really ties you like this. Go back, who dares to say anything?"

Zhuolin said: "This is why you dare to bring so many people here to block me?"

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework.

On the contrary, if she makes too much trouble, others will only think she is unfilial and disobedient. But Mrs. Sheng would not want to make trouble to that point unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, the face of the Sheng family was more important than anything else.

"Are you getting in the car by yourself, or should I let someone **** you into the car?" Mrs. Sheng looked at Zhuo Lin with a rare look of pride.

This little daughter has never let her worry since she was a child, but no matter how much she can make a fuss, she is still her mother, and she can't turn the palm of her hand no matter what.

Joelin asked, "Where do you want to take me?"

Mrs. Sheng said: "Don't make it look like I, the mother, want to hurt you. That kid from the Long family is getting married. Let's go and say goodbye. You go too. Since no one in the capital wants to marry you, let's see. Let's see if I can find you a good family in the Northeast."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sheng glanced at Zhuo Lin with some disgust, "Do you know now? What is the benefit of making those means to you? You could have found someone to marry in the capital, but now I can only do it with you. Like my cousin, I went to the backcountry in the northeast."

From Mrs. Sheng's point of view, the best place is the south of the Yangtze River, followed by the capital, and the northwest and northeast places are pure backcountry, where poor mountains and bad waters make troublesome people. Therefore, she always despised Mrs. Long who was married to the four northern provinces.

Go to the four northern provinces? Zhuo Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Okay, I'll pack up and salute."

"No need, I have already prepared the luggage for you, and the school has also asked for leave for the teacher." Mrs. Sheng said.

Zhuolin's expression was a little dark, and Mrs. Sheng didn't care what she was thinking, "Let's go, don't try to play tricks, you have to go or not. If you are still restless this time, come next time. It's not just me but your dad."

Zhuolin frowned, thinking of her father who had been reading dead books all his life.

Her father was a weak character. He listened to his grandfather and grandmother when he was young, and his wife after marriage. He never made any decisions by himself in his life.

He loves his children very much and treats them equally, whether they are sons or daughters. But the weak character is doomed, and he can't do anything for his daughters when they need him.

This truth was completely understood by Zhuo Lin when her sister got married. Before that, she always thought that her father was their support.

That day, she was hiding behind a bookshelf and reading, but she accidentally overheard the conversation between her sister and her father. Her sister cried and begged her father to say that she did not want to marry into the Wei family. The Wei family is indeed rich, but not to mention the complicated family relationship, the eldest young master of the Wei family is not in good health, and it is not a longevity at all. The most important thing is that there are several concubines and concubines beside the eldest young master of the Wei family.

My sister has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and she has no interest in businessmen. How can such a person be a good match?

At that time, my father had clearly agreed to my sister's rejection of the marriage, and Zhuo Lin was also very happy to see her sister burst into tears.

But it changed the next day. My sister only saw her father's guilty look in her mother's stern rebuke.

The mother severely punished the sister, and their father just watched from the beginning to the end. Even if he wanted to persuade his wife to stare at him, he could only bow his head in dejection.

If it wasn't for Zhuo Lin rushing over and pushing away the old woman who was playing the board, I'm afraid my sister would have been beaten to bed.

After the incident, my father quietly came to visit my sister and told her that I was sorry for her. Said he brought up the matter of refusing marriage, but their mother disagreed.

The Wei family is actually not bad. The elder sister is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and the Wei family does not dare to wrong her. My father said a lot, but my sister just responded lightly, but her eyes no longer had the brilliance when she looked at her father.

Two months later, my sister sadly married into the Wei family.

On the day her sister got married, she saw a plainly dressed young man being driven out by the Sheng family through the back door. She knew that person, the son of her father's old family, and her father's student. She was one year older than her sister, and she would call him brother when she met him occasionally.

But she didn't know until that day that the man and his sister had a marriage contract from the little finger. It's just that when Zhuo Lin was relatively young, her family fell, and the Sheng family never mentioned that marriage again.

After that day, Zhuo Lin never saw the young man again.

Until a long time later... Zhuo Lin met a middle-aged man abroad during a visit abroad. The other party was still alone, and although he looked bright, he couldn't hide the bleak and vicissitudes of life.

At that time, her sister, Sheng Zhuoyan, the eldest Miss of the Sheng family, who was famous all over Jiangnan, had passed away for a long time.
