Lin Yuan'er, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, married to Fuzhou in her early years and stayed away for more than thirty years.

Over the years, although the eldest daughter of the Lin family has come back with letters every year, she has never been able to take a step into Shengjing. Back then, for the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin had many friends with Mr. Lin.

The methods of making noises and even crying and seeking death were used, but Mr. Lin persisted and finally married his daughter.

"Fuzhou is now a land of plenty, and the Chen family is a farming and educational family with a vast amount of land. My uncle Chen Zhenyi has a crush on our daughter and made a promise to me that if he has children, he will never take concubines for the rest of his life... Such an uncle

Don’t ask, are you Yuan’er’s biological mother?”

"What a land of plenty? Fuzhou is thousands of miles away from Shengjing. It's clearly the land of the Southern Barbarians! What's the land of thousands of miles? The Chen family has never produced a single official in the capital! What's more, Chen Zhenyi failed in the imperial examinations three times! Are you still here?

I can’t tell that with his talent and learning, he will probably never be able to pass the Jinshi exam! He is already twenty-five this year, and he killed his first two fiancées! Don’t you think you can kill our Yuan’er! It’s even more annoying.

What’s more, Chen Zhenyi’s appearance is not worthy of our beautiful Yuan’er!”

At that time, every time they quarreled, Mr. Lin was the first to feel tired: "...Don't you just think that the third prince seems to have a crush on our Yuan'er? Don't you just want to be the noble prince's mother-in-law, or even

Can I still be the mother-in-law of an emperor in the future?"

"What's wrong with the third prince? With his father's support, he may not be unable to ascend the throne!"

"Snapped!"

A tea cup was smashed to pieces.

"I tell you, Mrs. Li, you have given up on me! From now on, you are not allowed to step out of this courtyard! If you are possessed by evil spirits and dare to encourage Yuan'er to do anything disgraceful,

Just don’t blame me for being ruthless and denying you, Mrs. Li, from now on!"

"..."

That was about Lin Yuan'er, the most serious and final quarrel between Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin. As a result of that quarrel, Mrs. Lin was directly imprisoned, and even the entire wedding arrangements were

The old man caught her personally, and it was not until the moment before Lin Yuan'er said goodbye to her elders and stepped onto the sedan chair that Mrs. Lin came out to take a look at her.

After that incident, Li's reputation was greatly damaged, leaving a laughing stock in Shengjing's social circle, making it difficult for Li to raise her head again. After Mrs. Lin came in, Li completely retreated.

The deep house in the backyard no longer appears in Shengjing’s social circle.

In Mrs. Lin's mind, Mr. Lin is Mr. Lin's son, and Mr. Lin is her own son. On weekdays, whatever she has, of course she gives to Mr. Lin, but if she wants to do anything, she can only

It's troublesome for Mr. Lin. And Lin Yuan'er is the jewelry that she cherishes. And of course her son is very good, but in many cases, only a daughter can be as considerate as a mother...

When Mr. Lin heard Mrs. Lin's request, he pursed his lips and said tactfully: "Last time, my sister wrote a letter and said that she was worrying about the life-long affairs of my nephew's daughter... There is also a nephew who is entering school, and the other nephew is no more than a general manager.

, everyone needs her to take care of them..."

"Fuzhou is a southern barbarian land. There are no good young men to choose from, and there are no good gentlemen anywhere! If there are really good gentlemen, why don't you see the Chen family take the Jinshi exam? It just so happens that the whole family is coming to Beijing, so don't delay the child.

future!" Li said.

This makes sense, but... Mr. Lin knew that he must not mention his father at this time, so he said: "Then I will write to my sister and ask her what she means."

"What does she mean?" Mrs. Li said dissatisfiedly: "Just write about your mother and I will close my eyes to see if she comes to see me, an old woman!" She was worried about Mr. Lin again: "You have finished writing.

, read it to me. You can write it now."

Mr. Lin had no choice but to accept the letter and asked someone to send him pen and ink. According to Li's wishes, he wrote a letter and read it to Li. After hearing this, Li felt satisfied and closed his eyes again.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Li urged Mr. Lin to send the letter.

Second Master Lin agreed and went out. Naturally, he wanted to let Mr. Lin know.

After hearing this, Mr. Lin sighed and said, "Send the letter out. After so many years, Yuan'er already has a son and a daughter. When she comes back, there will be nothing."

The third prince back then was the current Emperor Jinghe.

Although no one said it, everyone in the Lin family knew that this was the biggest reason why Mrs. Li had been holding on for many years, never letting go of her body, and compromising to Mr. Lin - in the eyes of Mrs. Lin, if she had been

According to her, I don’t know how prosperous the Lin Mansion will be at this time! But what about now? Lin Shiqing is a top scholar, but he is just a minister at the age of 40! If he wants to take charge of a ministry, he still needs at least several years of experience.

!

Perhaps because she had hope, or perhaps because she said she didn't want to see Mr. Bai but she really never saw Mr. Bai in front of her. Mrs. Lin's condition quickly improved, at least until New Year's Eve.

One day, she was able to appear at the banquet in good spirits.

Mrs. Lin walked out holding Grandma Rong's hand, and everyone stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Lin was satisfied without seeing Bai present. But when she saw Lin Shifei, her face inevitably had some shadows - Lin Shifei was only a few months younger than Lin Shiqi, but he was a full fist taller and longer than Lin Shiqi.

Standing tall and elegant, he immediately outshone Lin Shiqi.

"snort."

Old Mrs. Lin snorted coldly in her heart - he's just a bastard! Just send him out early!

Mrs. Lin moved her eyes and said calmly: "Okay, everyone, sit down."

"Today is a rare reunion. The whole family is complete for the first time." Old Mrs. Lin obviously meant good things, but it sounded uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lin stood up and smiled and said: "We're reunited, isn't it? This is Kang'er's first time going home. Of course it's very rare."

At another table, Mr. Lin said calmly: "Let's have dinner."

Uncle Lin then glanced at Lin Jiakang. Lin Jiakang stood up from his seat, took a glass of fruit wine, and turned it aside. He knelt down to Mr. Lin solemnly and said: "Grandpa, my unfilial grandson, Ieyasu, wishes you the best."

As strong as pines and cypresses, may you have long life and good fortune. May your works spread widely throughout the world and may your literature and history last forever.”

"Yeah! Okay!" Mr. Lin stretched out his hand to smooth his beard and said with a smile: "Get up. I heard that your kid is interested in calligraphy and painting. It's not bad. It's really good! In our Lin family, only one official can be born in several generations.

Enough is enough, there is no need for everyone to jump into that dirty place...Kang'er, did your father force you to take the imperial examination? Come on, grandpa will make the decision for you..."

Lin Jiakang was young, and his face turned red even after drinking a glass of water. Hearing this, he said happily: "No, grandma, father and mother are very supportive of my grandson. However, my grandson still wants to take part in the imperial examination. No matter what, he has to pass."

The only way to raise a person is to not let others look down upon you."

"Okay, okay..."

Mr. Lin was really happy now. He glanced at Lin Shiqing with admiration. He laughed heartily and said: "Kang'er thinks so, he is a very smart person! There is nothing better than this! Grandpa is very happy! Come on!

Come, grandpa, give you a toast!"

"This..." Lin Jiakang was still a little hesitant at first, but he was infected by Mr. Lin's emotions. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay..." Mr. Lin praised again: "In time for the festival tomorrow, grandpa will take you out to visit friends! Grandpa can tell you that all of my friends are definitely interesting people..."

Because it was already approaching the end of the year when he came back, he immediately had a conflict with Mr. Li, which caused Li's illness... After he came back, Mr. Lin had not had time to get close to his grandchildren. Not to mention, Lin Shiqing was the one he and his

The Wang family's only son, Lin Jiakang, was the only grandson between him and the Wang family. After such interactions at this time, he immediately fell in love with this grandson whom he had only met a few times.

"Kang'er is really blessed." Lin Shifei whispered to Lin Shiqing with a faint smile on his lips: "My father's friends are all talented and knowledgeable people."

"Yes." Lin Shiqing also smiled.

He is busy with political affairs on weekdays, and does not have much time to spare to teach Kang'er. What's more, Kang'er is not willing to set foot in officialdom, so there is not much he can teach. Although Feng is erudite and knowledgeable, he is not that kind of person.

Among the people in the circle...only Mr. Lin can give Kang'er the best and most help...

The conversation here was lively, and Mrs. Lin over there also picked up what Mrs. Lin liked to hear. She talked about the eldest aunt of the Lin family, which quickly relaxed the atmosphere.

"...Speaking of it, my uncle really hurt our aunt like eyeballs. This time we passed by Fuzhou to visit their family, and we met that uncle personally bought my aunt's favorite dorayaki home..."

"Why, have you seen her? Why didn't anyone mention it to me?" Old Mrs. Lin said.

This...who knew Lin Shiqing didn't say anything about it? As for himself and his children, which time did they have a good look on your face when they met? Of course, they left early, who would have thought...

Mrs. Lin apologized hurriedly: "It's true that Xiaoliu was ill at that time, and we came and went in a hurry. We didn't stay in Fuzhou for long..."

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin didn't care about this at this time. She asked with concern: "What about Xu'er? Where's Brother Qing? And where's Sister Wan? That little one, Brother Ping's body is in great shape now.

Already?"

But he didn't care about Lin Yijia half-heartedly.

Lin Yijia didn't care in her heart, and slowly picked up a piece of crystal lotus root and ate it in small bites. In the winter, being able to eat such fresh lotus root really made people feel good.

——In the previous life, my aunt’s family did not come to Beijing. But now, they have come to make a decision. Well, everything is gradually becoming completely different. Is it really a new life? What about the Lin family?

That catastrophe can definitely be avoided...

Mrs. Lin was naturally used to it. She smiled and replied: "Everything is fine, everything is fine. The person who treated Brother Ping was an old miracle doctor. Don't look at the fact that Brother Ping was born prematurely and had weak bones.

Over the years of acupuncture and conditioning, Brother Ping has been transformed into a healthy and strong boy! Our Xiaoliu's condition is also thanks to him. Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have recovered so quickly or so effectively."

"Oh, that one is really good." Old Mrs. Lin clasped her hands and said, "It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva... I saw a letter from your sister saying that Brother Ping is well. I thought she was trying to comfort me.

, I didn’t expect it to be really good. Well, I’m relieved that it’s good..."

The old lady was able to completely ignore what Mrs. Lin said later about Lin Yijia's condition, as if Mrs. Lin had never mentioned it at all...

At this time, Lin Yijia saw Lin Shifei, who was sitting facing her at the table over there, looking here in surprise. After being noticed by Lin Yijia, he nodded slightly.

At the same time, Mrs. Lin began to care about Chen Wanzhi again: "...How is it? How tall is it? Does it look like your sister? It would be great if the children look like their father...especially the girl's family..."

In fact, Uncle Chen is not ugly at all, but his appearance is ordinary, not outstanding, and not as handsome as most of the young men. Of course, the eldest aunt of the Lin family is lucky, and several children have inherited her appearance. Only

Chen Qingzhi is still a third like his father, and the other two are all like his mother. Especially Chen Waner, Mrs. Lin once lamented: This is exactly like Lin Xuer back then...

During the questions and answers about the Lin family's aunt and her family, the Lin family's New Year's Eve dinner was very harmonious. After dinner, several girls gathered together spontaneously, eating melon seeds, playing leaf cards, and talking.

Whisper and stay up late.

"Look at our grandmother, she really doesn't tire of talking about her aunt's family."

Lin Minjia was not as well-educated as Lin Huijia, and she was not as well-educated as Lin Yijia. She listened to Mrs. Lin asking about the Chen family all night, and she couldn't help but feel a little bored.

"How many years has it been since the old lady saw my aunt? Of course she will miss her." Lin Huijia smiled and said: "If in the future...our mother will definitely ask more questions than the old lady."

"Ha, then eldest sister, you are wrong!" Lin Minjia smiled mischievously and whispered: "eldest sister, you are marrying so close. If my mother thought about it, she would definitely go to see you as soon as she raised her legs, so she would not pay attention.

What about those other things?"

"You're such a talker." Lin Huijia slapped her lightly and said, "Mother, you can also make fun of her."

Lin Minjia smiled "hehe" and didn't care. She rolled her eyes, approached Lin Shijia again, and said with a smile: "Second sister, when cousin and the others come, you will fall out of favor..."

This... answer it seriously, Lin Minjia is obviously joking; answer it informally, it seems inappropriate... Before Lin Shijia opened her mouth, she heard Lin Yijia say in surprise: "Ah, here comes Zhang Baizi..." Then she realized it and covered it up

He started talking, with a rather annoyed look on his face, which made several girls laugh, and their attention turned to the game. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you
