015 Back to Beijing

Lin Jiakang is her only son!

If he didn't take the scientific examination... Mrs. Lin could already imagine what kind of sarcastic remarks those noble ladies in the capital would make! Especially when Lin Shiqing herself was excellent enough and her married life was so happy!

"Are you worried that your husband won't be able to earn a second-grade imperial title for you? Are you now placing your hopes on your son?" Lin Shiqing said jokingly.

Mrs. Lin suddenly lost her temper, shook her head and said, "What are you talking about...I just...well, you are the head of the Lin family, you can think about it, there is nothing I can't think about..."

Her life, Feng Rongqing's, is already good enough. If she pursues perfection, she's afraid she won't be able to afford such a great blessing! As long as her son follows the right path, he can do whatever he likes in the future, and he doesn't have to be an official.

No... like Mr. Lin, who doesn't respect...

Her mind turned away, and Mrs. Lin turned to ask: "Where has the old man gone?"

Lin Shiqing shook his head: "The last time I sent a message, I said I was in Dunhuang, but now I don't know where I went. I hope I can see him before the year."

"When the old man comes back this time, he should be able to stay a little longer." The two people were talking in a low voice. They noticed that Lin Jiakang had carefully drawn the base map on the canvas. Mrs. Lin stepped forward and said to him: "

Let’s stop painting here.”

Outside, Butler Lin happened to come over and say that the convoy was ready. Lin Shiqing nodded to his family and got out of the carriage. Then, he heard him ask a few questions. After making sure that everything was okay, he said: "Let's go."

After the car started slowly, it gradually accelerated. After driving onto the official road, the road conditions became smoother and the car started to go faster.

Lin Yijia was not honest when she sat by the window. She put her hands on the window and stared outside, enjoying the fresh wind blowing from outside.

The snow melted away, revealing gray-black land.

The grass and plants on the ground were all withered, showing a lifeless white color. From time to time, people carrying shovels walked into the farmland on both sides of the road, wanting to see the land, but instead they got stuck in the soil, making it difficult to walk.

Neng stepped back again and sighed.

Such a scene did not make Lin Yijia feel very sad.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year.

After the heavy snow and severe cold came, it froze to death the few new seedlings in the ground, and also froze to death the insects and eggs in the soil. Although it was not easy to replant anything at this time, after this winter

, if you plant spring wheat and other crops next year, it will be a bumper harvest!

However, that severe cold ended up costing a lot of lives——

After the convoy approached the capital, it could be seen from a distance that simple sheds were built one after another outside the city gate and on both sides of the official road. Almost every shed was hung with a white cloth. That meant that someone had passed away.

The shed is endless as far as the eye can see.

Some people came in and out of the shed, holding thick vegetable porridge in intact or chipped bowls. At this time, the sun was still warm, but there was not much warmth on the faces of those people.

——Having lost their home and loved ones, can they really survive the long winter with the help of the court alone? And for those children who have lost their parents and loved ones, what hope do they have in their future lives?!

They were originally the children of poor families... Lin Yijia lowered her eyes, lowered the curtains, snuggled up to Mrs. Lin, and said coquettishly: "There are many people outside, and we don't know when it will be our turn to enter the city... Mom, I don't know.

tired."

"Take a rest when you are tired." Mrs. Lin stroked Lin Yijia's hair lovingly.

Lin Yijia said "hmm" and closed her eyes.

Lin Huijia and Lin Minjia, who were originally discussing the sheds outside and the victims, etc., shut up when they saw this. They had all seen the victims. In contrast, the victims who had been sorted out here in the capital had sheds to live in.

With clothes to wear and food to eat, it really doesn’t seem that miserable...

After waiting for less than half an hour, it was finally the Lin family's motorcade's turn to enter Beijing.

There was no words all the way, except when the motorcade entered Changping Street, the convoy paused. Lin Yijia vaguely heard Qin Mingyuan coming to say goodbye to his father and thank him, and then took a car from the Qin family and left, heading to Qingshui Lane.

Qingshui Lane.

Most of the people living in Qingshui Lane are petty officials from the capital with average family backgrounds, and some of the houses are rented out to those petty officials who cannot afford to buy a house when they suddenly return to Beijing. Because of their status,

Housing prices there are not cheap.

The Qin family's small courtyard with two entrances in Qingshui Lane was the private property of Mrs. Qin. Because no one knew about it, it was saved from the house confiscation that year. However, they never dared to make it public before.

In her previous life, Lin Yijia lived there for two years.

Although she has a generous dowry, including several properties and a large courtyard with four entrances and five entrances, she is the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, how can she live in her own dowry house? And for someone who was raised in a wealthy family,

For her, whose own boudoir courtyard was bigger than that small courtyard, that small courtyard was so cramped and narrow! At one point, she even felt so depressed that she wanted to go crazy!

...The motorcade moved forward again. Lin Yijia came to her senses, grabbed Mrs. Lin and asked: "Mom, is Yiyuan big? I live in Huaguiyuan? Hey, I don't like the name, and I don't know if I like the place...

…mother……"

"Yiyuan, it's very big, enough for you sisters to live in!" Mrs. Lin smiled and patted Lin Yijia's hand, comforting her and said: "You can live wherever you like, and name the yard whatever you like.

What a name! Even if we don’t like it, it’s not a big deal if we come back and call someone to fix it for you again!”

"Ah, it's true!" Lin Minjia was surprised when she heard this, and said to Mrs. Lin half-complainingly: "Mom, there's so much noise in repairing the yard! You spoil your sister like this, and now you've spoiled her!" After that, she glared again.

Lin Yijia glanced at it.

Lin Yijia was unconvinced and said: "How can I be spoiled! What's wrong with me! Sister, please explain clearly!" She blinked twice at Lin Huijia again to make her eyes moist and look tearful: "Sister, Yijia, please tell me clearly!"

Something is wrong..."

As expected, Lin Huijia softened her heart and comforted her: "No, no, Yi'er is very good. Don't listen to your sister Min's nonsense. She is actually thinking about how to mess with her Fenglan Yuan, but she just doesn't have the nerve to speak!

"

"Oh..." Lin Yijia drawled her voice, believing Lin Huijia's explanation.

Lin Minjia smiled bitterly: "Sister! You are also partial! How could I..."

"Don't you want to decorate your yard according to your wishes?" Lin Huijia glanced at her lightly and said softly: "We have been away from Beijing for ten years... Are you sure you will like the decoration you made when you were four years old?

Yard? Anyway, I want to repair my Yumoxuan."

Lin Minjia coughed and said simply, "Thank you, Xiao Liu'er, we have benefited from you! Hehe."

Before they return to Beijing, the courtyard where they will live must have been renovated. But if the repair is to their liking, then there is no guarantee. And the courtyard was decorated for no reason and there was a lot of noise, and only Xiaoliuer was small.
